Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Ito's words caused Chen Ye to fall into a brief silence.

What he was truly concerned about was not that Ito would feel hungry, but that he would only see this monster in his dreams.

Chen Ye arrived at the door of the house to listen to the reactions of the other residents...

Surprisingly, the monster lunged at the entire apartment building, causing such a huge commotion, but the nearby residents didn't react at all, as if they had no idea that such a huge monster existed in the world.

Chen Ye tried to open the door and walk around the apartment hallway...

But as soon as he put the idea into his mind, a black aura, carrying countless blood-red claws, suddenly rushed towards Chen Ye from the area of ​​the corridor at the door!

"Opening the door will put me in danger!"

Chen Ye immediately received this warning.

obviously,
The reason I'm free right now is because I'm staying home and have the curtains closed.

The house was shaking, but the oil lamp on the table seemed to become even more stable.

"That is to say..."

"The essence of this monster is not on the material level, but most likely on the spiritual level!"

"Because this house now has a couplet that Ah Hong gave me, as well as a celestial master talisman, and this oil lamp..."

"During the day, we baked a lot of barbecue in the oven, and now the house is full of yang energy."

"When I use the breathing technique myself, I also use human energy to nourish the house, so it won't be easy for this monster to enter my house."

According to the [Eye of Fortune], the apartment where Chen Ye currently lives is surrounded by a protective wall made of black and yellow glass, safeguarding the safety of the entire house.

The enormous shadow continued to collide with the house, but it did not cause any damage to the walls.

At most, it just shakes a little...

Chen Ye thought for a moment, then took the Celestial Master Talisman in his hand.

The frequency of the house shaking decreased.

The monster outside the window let out a series of low growls.

A powerful hunger began to spread through Chen Ye's body, as if he wanted to devour all the delicious food in the room.

"Now is definitely not the time to eat!"

Just as Chen Ye had the thought of eating, the sense of crisis conveyed by the spiritual energy told him that he absolutely must not eat now!
Otherwise... the food you eat won't actually go into your mouth, but into that monster outside!

On the contrary, it will only make that monster grow bigger and bigger!

"It's eyeing the food here..."

Chen Ye seemed to remember something, turned to Ito, and asked, "What time do you usually eat?"

Ito seemed to realize the problem as well: "It was at night..."

"It's troublesome."

Chen Ye rubbed his temples, finally understanding why Ito's condition was getting worse and worse: "It seems that a powerful anomaly has its eye on you. This monster creates a feeling of hunger, and when you eat it, it will swell up!"

"Originally, it should have just been a collection of resentful spirits, filled with the feeling of hunger, just like there are a large number of human head balloons in this world, all suffering from hunger. And the total amount of this hunger constitutes the monster's true form."

"Now, the food in your house has been targeted by this hungry monster!"

"It's now inside your body!"

"For a long time, we absolutely could not eat at night, we could only drink water at most."

As Ito listened to this, it was as if he were hearing a fantastical tale, but the enormous monster he had seen was definitely not fake; he simply couldn't see it before. However, its influence was gradually spreading to his own ascension...

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Ito asked instinctively.

However, he immediately regretted it after he opened his mouth.

Because Ito had already recognized who was knocking on the door from that familiar knocking sound!

"Honey, you absolutely mustn't open the door right now, and you absolutely mustn't open the windows or doors either. That thing can't get in for now, I'll... I'm so hungry... I want to eat it!"

That's right, the voice coming from the doorway was Tomie, who had tried to force her way into the apartment building during the day.

But now it seems that Tomie has no intention of coming in at all; instead, she is reminding Ito not to open the door.

Chen Ye then realized that Tomie seemed to be able to stay lucid only at night.

Holding an oil lamp in his left hand and a celestial master's talisman in his right, he walked to the door and asked:

"Do you know something about this monster?"

Tomie's voice came from the doorway:

"I don't know... but I know its essence is the same as mine... it only eats... don't be afraid, as long as you don't open the door, the house will protect your safety!"

"And you must keep warm, you absolutely must keep warm. As long as you can keep your body completely warm, no matter how huge it looks, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

"Originally, only I could see those dangerous things at night, but now it seems that you've died once too, so you can see everything now as well."

All of... things...

These words immediately silenced Ito. Undoubtedly, everything he had witnessed today, including all the images, was shaking his worldview…

These things were all too ahead of their time for Ito!

He thought he knew enough about the world.

But now it seems that our understanding of this world is not even half-opened; we have only seen the most superficial appearance.

Chen Ye fell into deep thought.

Given Chen Ye's status, having already ascended to the Sky City, everything that is happening now is naturally easy for him to understand.

No matter how big the problem was, Chen Ye was able to handle it calmly.

"From this perspective, the most fundamental anchor point for this monster's existence in this world is still its spirit form." "Because I descended into this world as a spirit, I already had the visual effect of spiritual vision activated, so I could see everything."

"Ito actually possesses a certain spirituality. His paintings connect with some kind of spirit, thus having a guiding effect. However, because he hasn't yet unlocked the skills to actively utilize them and hasn't learned how to use breathing techniques, he can only see this extremely hungry monster in his dreams!"

This monster is probably also secretly controlling Ito's hunger.

According to the rules of this world, it is currently not permissible to eat at night!
otherwise……

You'll be targeted by this monster!

"I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry!"

Ito felt a strong urge to eat, and this feeling started to affect Chen Ye as well. He instinctively wanted to find some grilled meat in the refrigerator, but Chen Ye stopped him: "You can't eat anymore, or that thing will target you."

"Okay...Ok..."

Ito wasn't stupid; he finally realized where he had gone wrong and felt a chill run down his spine: "So I had been targeted by such a dangerous monster?"

"You've got a girlfriend nearby and a monster in the distance, you're really having a lot of bad luck!" Chen Ye couldn't help but shake his head.

In fact, compared to the monster, Tomie is not even a fraction of its size!
After pasting up the couplets and the Celestial Master's talisman, and lighting the oil lamp, Tomie is now completely unable to affect the house!
But that monster could still make the apartment shake continuously!
even……

Chen Ye sensed that the entire apartment building was shaking violently, not just this one building.

This shows that the monster's influence has far exceeded his expectations...

just now.

The reason they can't get in is probably because the rules and regulations protecting them are just too strong!
In addition, Chen Ye's current aura is already very strong!
The three streams of Heavenly Mandate energy are now usable in this world, and have been infused into the couplets, the Celestial Master's talisman, and the oil lamp beside me...

Each one gains a bit of destiny energy!
The three treasures protected the house, preventing the "hunger" outside from having any chance to enter; at most, it could only rage helplessly outside.

But Chen Ye realized that he needed to find a way to eliminate this feeling of hunger...

otherwise.

I want to eat everything I see, it's unbearable!
"How do you usually get rid of this feeling of hunger?" Chen Ye couldn't help but ask.

"Uh... I was so hungry that I woke up hungry, found something to eat in the refrigerator, ate something quickly, and then fell asleep..." Ito also felt something was strange. He could roughly realize that the feeling of hunger in the middle of the night was related to the monster he had seen.

But just like a normal person, I get up, eat something, and then I recover.

I have never encountered such a large-scale battle before!
even……

In Ito's mind, he had never associated being woken up hungry in the middle of the night and needing a midnight snack with a monster of this level.

But Ito also realized that his body had been nutritionally unbalanced for some time, and he didn't seem to have a real sense of eating. Now that he thought about it carefully, it might be related to this ugly monster!
"Has it been watching my food the whole time?" Itoh seemed to realize it too.

"I'm afraid that's the case..."

Chen Ye stared intently at the huge silhouette projected through the curtains outside the window.

It was as if an epic shadow had enveloped the entire apartment, shaking violently!

fine……

Because of his unique creative abilities, Ito can be considered a high-end talent... he's just a bit too much of a homebody... but living in the apartment where Amanto lives, all aspects of the basics are guaranteed, and the entire building's load-bearing and pressure-resistant capabilities are excellent.

This shaking sensation doesn't actually come from the physical realm, but rather from a spiritual one.

"I can't go on without eating..." Chen Ye felt the hunger in his stomach grow stronger again, as if he would starve to death if he didn't eat one second.

"That's it! Breathing techniques!"

Chen Ye suddenly realized something crucial, took a deep breath, and then sat on the bed.

As soon as I lifted the covers, a whole bunch of paintings were in this place.

"This picture was drawn during the day."

Chen Ye found the scrolls a bit troublesome, and since there wasn't enough room on the table, he casually tossed them onto the bed. After all, these scrolls with human heads and balloons were rather abstract, so covering them with a blanket on the bed meant there was no need to look at them.

However, when Chen Ye displayed all the paintings, a radiant light emanated from them, enveloping the entire house.

Buzz! ! !
A burst of shimmering white light enveloped the entire house...

The intense shaking sensation suddenly seemed to lessen considerably.

"and many more……"

"It seems that these painted balloon images of human heads have the effect of stabilizing 'spiritual pressure'?"

So-called spiritual pressure is an attack received on a spiritual level.

Chen Ye knew that the impact of the giant object on him was not physical, but rather existed on a spiritual level.

However... before Ito activated his spiritual vision, he wouldn't be affected by such things.

But everything changed after he mastered the breathing technique and Chen Ye descended upon him!
Some things are relatively safe when you don't pay attention to them... or at least not that dangerous... but when your spirituality is high enough to come into contact with these things, it can actually put you in danger.

“We can cover the entire house with paintings,” Ito said, not being a fool. He immediately thought of this method and suggested, “Ah Hong put up the couplets and talismans during the day, and the effect was even better. Now we should try the same method…”

“You’re right.” Chen Ye smiled slightly. In fact, he had also thought of this method, but he just felt that pasting so many human head balloons in his house felt a bit eerie.

however,
The faces of the human-shaped balloons now all have a serene, Buddhist expression. Even though they look rather abstract, their expressions are kind and gentle, giving off a peaceful and serene feeling, like looking at a Buddha statue...

Chen Ye found some tape in the TV cabinet... After all, it was an artist's house, so all kinds of props related to artistic creation were readily available, almost everything imaginable.

After attaching it with double-sided tape.

The shaking of the entire room had decreased significantly by this point.

It will only shake slightly.

It felt like sitting on a boat...

"Next, I need to adjust my breathing..."

Chen Ye knew that to be effective, one must be strong oneself. The best way to avoid being influenced by these spiritual things was to cultivate a pure yang body!

That way, we won't be afraid of anything!

next second.

Chen Ye sat cross-legged on the bed and began to regulate his breathing... (End of Chapter)
