Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 51 Thank you for your contribution to the study of enchantment (please read it later)

Duan Mingyuan didn't want to miss this rare opportunity for academic exchange.

He opened the memo on his phone in front of the two of them, not wanting to miss any details. "Question, can you use the full power of 'Destruction'?"

After a brief battle, he began to doubt the powerful enemy that existed in his imagination. If Madam White Bone (corrected by Jiuyue's reminder) could really exert 100% of the destructive power of her powerful enemy, then although the previous attacks could not touch him, they could destroy the entire Congyun Hotel in an instant.

The time stop can only be described as half-baked, the only decent thing is the space attack.

This discovery made him feel a little regretful. "Is it the limitation of life energy? Yes, the evaluation of the barrier should adopt a multi-faceted measurement standard."

With September's reminder, they reached a consensus on the name "barrier".

Things really happened as Jiu Yue expected, and a battle of barrier level broke out between the two sides, but...

Mr. Mingyuan never had the idea of ​​fighting from the beginning. As he said, he came for academic discussion.

As for victory, it was a by-product of the academic seminar.

It was as natural and relaxed as taking away the mineral water prepared by the organizer from the venue.

At this moment, Jiu Yue suddenly remembered Mr. Ming Yuan’s pre-war declaration when they first arrived at Congyun Hotel.

——He is the strongest.

These few short words carry unimaginable weight.

Mrs. Bones did not continue to attack. The monster named "Destruction" lowered its head, and the flesh and blood gathered on its body slowly faded away. Within a minute, the monster disappeared, and Mrs. Bones returned to the wheelchair.

Duan Mingyuan understood.

It seems that the change did not take long.

If you cannot defeat your opponent in a short period of time, you will be exposed.

Jiu Yue could understand Mrs. Bai Gu's feelings at the moment, and even felt a little sympathy for her.

She suspected that Mr. Mingyuan did not understand how shocking a fact he had just stated in such a casual tone.

All cognitive attacks will be deconstructed before they touch him.

No need to defend, no need to dodge...

What’s the difference between this and using a damage-free cheat?
Fortunately, Mr. Ming Yuan is a serious person. At least he didn't cheat like in the video, doing a 360-degree dance and blowing Mrs. White Bone's head off as he passed by.

The gentle Mr. Mingyuan respected his elders and gave them ample time to speak.

"In addition to the growth potential, another thing worth mentioning is the duration of the barrier. Ever since Tianwaimin died here, your ability has been activated every moment."

Seeing that Madam Bai Gu remained silent, Duan Mingyuan once again used his eyes that were good at discovering the strengths of others.

Only after truly understanding the "barrier" could he summarize it systematically and form a quantifiable evaluation system.

Tang Qianqian and Yang Ping will need it in the future.

In the process of constructing a "barrier", theoretical knowledge is essential.

If he were to evaluate it, Mrs. Bones' barrier would receive an excellent A rating in terms of growth and sustainability. As long as she stays here, the strange stories at the Congyun Hotel will continue.

"Then there is the lesser barrier area. Your ability can cover the entire Congyun Hotel."

It was not very vast, and was even smaller than the intermediate-level evil spirit he encountered last time at an abandoned construction site. Out of respect for his elders and a blank database, he decided to give it a medium rating of B.

"The last one is the relatively weak lethality, activation efficiency, and precision."

He could only euphemistically say that none of these three things were what Madam White Bone was good at.

The barrier relies on ghost stories to exist, and the rules are too complicated. Even ordinary people have the opportunity to go through the sacrificial ceremony. If the "ultimate move" that serves as a trump card is used, it will be difficult to cause harm to those who are well prepared based on the existing rules and ghost stories.

As for this ultimate move with a very high upper limit, it may be restrained depending on the opponent.

For example, if the person who inhaled the hallucination mist was Comrade Tang Qianqian, then based on the truest portrayal of her inner self, the person that emerged from the hallucination should be an angry section chief.

Although very angry, the life energy is 0.

With sufficient intelligence, Tang Qianqian can form a restrained relationship with Madam Bai Gu.

In this way, the complete evaluation system of the barrier comes to light.

“Then I’ll give it a C.”

Madam White Bone suddenly spoke, leaning on her wheelchair, her voice returning to its low, hoarse state, "It's exactly the same evaluation method as the company. No one likes to use grades and data to judge everything more than them. The pair of monoculars you are wearing is also a product of the company, right? How much did they pay to get someone like you to work for them?"

She is now very sure that Universal Company must have contacted Duan Mingyuan.

This is probably why the legend of Yunlong City suddenly disappeared. "It seems that strength has nothing to do with personality. I was wrong."

She originally thought that anyone who would bow to the company could not be that strong. Ability is an extension of desire and obsession. How could a spineless person gain powerful strength from it?
But the world is so unpredictable. She hasn't left the Congyun Hotel for too long, and the place she cherishes most eventually became a coffin that bound her here.

But this is also a good thing, out of sight, out of mind.

"Yes, Mr. Mingyuan, why do you want to work at Tianwaimin's company?"

September took the opportunity to chime in.

Mr. Ming Yuan’s previous explanation was that he found exorcising evil spirits to be a rubbish job, so he decided to change careers.

But she obviously misjudged Mr. Mingyuan.

The image in Mr. Mingyuan's mind was not Universal Company, he could only piece together an imaginary enemy from those fictional works. "Because exorcising evil spirits is a garbage industry."

Out of serious consideration for his future life, he should leave this garbage business as soon as possible.

Facing the questions from Lady White Bone and September, he said, "Its garbage is not only reflected in the low pay, high risk, and inability to be understood by others. The real danger is that the further you go in this industry, the further you are from humanity."

Twist the forms of evil spirits at will, transforming them into pure life energy.

From helping others, which is a thankless task at the beginning, to respecting personal destiny, even if life passes by in front of your eyes, it will not cause any waves in your heart.

Until, life is taken away peacefully.

"As you said, the company did come to me."

That was earlier, when he was about to decide to give up this garbage business.

The company did make a generous offer. If he accepted it, he could skip the long and boring learning period and get a much better salary than a clerical employee.

But as he has said before, if the company finds value, it will do everything it can to squeeze it out.

However, after learning about the real "business" of Universal Company, a high school teenager who has not yet completely lost his passion can easily do some impulsive things.

It was at that time that Duan Mingyuan realized that the aliens were no different from humans and their bodies were much more fragile than those of evil spirits.

“This is my revision of my life.”

At this academic seminar, Duan Mingyuan told others about his decision for the first time. He didn't know whether this decision was necessarily related to the theme of the meeting or the future of the industry.

Over the past few years, he would occasionally think back to the absurd things he did in his youth, and reflect on his actions from time to time according to the advice given by his class teacher, trying to learn lessons from his mistakes.

I studied hard, got into a good school, and after graduation I was recommended to work in a company with good pay.

Work overtime, strive for performance, work overtime.

This is the life that every human being goes through.

Today, he came to Congyun Hotel and learned about the Qian Congyun family's past rise and fall. An idea that had been lingering in his mind seemed to finally be confirmed.

He was willing to believe what Mrs. Bones said. In her time, people like them were everywhere.

If we extend the timeline and look at the changes in the world over decades...

There are not many people like this left.

The huge Yunlong City, a city with a population of 300 million, can no longer even gather a table for a senior academic seminar.

The "gods" are taking away at the same time as they are sharing.

“Maybe I didn’t do anything wrong from the beginning.”

Duan Mingyuan said that he couldn't help but doubt whether the "reflection concept" was correct.

"You put them... Good, you did a great job! Very good! You have to keep going!"

Madam Bai Gu suddenly understood something, and her withered body was so excited that she almost stood up from the wheelchair. As a senior in the academic world, she had high hopes for Duan Mingyuan, a young scholar.

The green flames flickered in her eyes, and her life seemed to be revived.

The only regret at this moment is that they are not of the same kind.

Sacrificing lives has been a form of evil since ancient times. In any record, evil people do not deserve a good ending.

From the moment she embarked on this path, she knew where it would lead, but in order to become the enemy of the "immortal", she would do anything!

Those who have experienced it should not leave difficult problems to those who come after them. That would be disgraceful.

"It's no use just talking big. If you can't even get past me, forget about protecting anything!"

The withered figure leaped up from the wheelchair and flew straight towards Duan Mingyuan, "Come over here, let me see your true abilities!"

"Thank you for your outstanding contribution to the discipline of enchantment."

Duan Mingyuan expressed his most sincere gratitude to this senior academic figure.

The flying figure went straight forward, and then seemed to crash into a picture frame, with the burning green color frozen there.

Along with everything in this room.

The bright moonlight shines into the broken house. Looking up, what comes into view is the starry night sky.

Duan Mingyuan stretched out his right hand, and a card fell silently into his palm.

Above is the White Bone Lady and the strange story about the attic on the fifth floor of the Congyun Hotel that has not yet been spread.

"September."

He reminded the still confused little fox, "The meeting is over."

"Mr. Mingyuan."

September realized it later. She felt that in such a situation, she should show appropriate shock and disbelief, but at this moment she really couldn't control the upward curve of her mouth corners, and her tail shook almost instinctively.

——"You have killed people, you are an alien!"

There are two updates today. The second one is a long chapter, which finishes writing the battle from the protagonist’s perspective in one go. This plot point will be completed in tomorrow’s update.
