Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 104 Leaving the Tower
"Well, it's time to say goodbye here." The man stood up from the high-backed chair. His skeletal figure could not support the gorgeous robe.

He reached the edge of the cliff, the salty-sweet breeze making him stagger.

He suddenly seemed to remember something, and took out a wet red bone from his wide robe and said to Xia Shou: "This is a token that person gave me. The energy and blood contained in it are extremely surging. Although I am not sure of its origin, I have some guesses that may be able to help you."

The man took out another red book and opened it between his dry branch-like fingers. He tore off a page and handed it to Xia Shou: "Goodbye, my friend. I hope you can see the ending of my story, whether it is good or bad."

In just a moment, the man disappeared in front of Xia Shou.

That disappearance was instantaneous, like an image that was photoshopped out of a photo, or a scene that was suddenly edited out of a movie. There was no sign, no transition. He just disappeared without a trace in this vast world.

Along with him, the vast ocean in front of him also disappeared.

The endless sound of waves suddenly disappeared in Xia Shou's ears. The mixed smell of sea water and blood still lingered in the air, but looking around, the lower part of the cliff was left with only sharp reefs stretching endlessly into the distance and the exposed dry seabed, without a drop of sea water.

This was the first time that Xia Shou had such a clear understanding of the changes in the world.

Everything that just happened seemed like an illusion in the lighthouse of fear. Only the ring held in Xia Shou's hand, the high-backed chair standing on the edge of the cliff, and the thin page of the book fluttering in the breeze proved the authenticity of the conversation between the two.

Xia Shou came to the chair and sat down where the other person had just sat. After the Red Sea disappeared, he looked at the endless seabed like a desert. The constantly blowing wind told the flow of time, but their story remained still and solidified at the origin.

And that man has been sitting here for a thousand years.

"Forget it, let's go back. Wei Yu should be worried now."

Xia Shou stood up and walked towards the lighthouse behind him.

……

……

Outside the Beacon of Fear, all the staff on the scene were in dead silence, and no one said a word.

It happened so suddenly that no one could calmly accept what had just happened.

Just now, Xia Shou's altitude data dropped from a positive number to a negative number, and the number soared all the way to -9999 meters, exceeding the limit of the measuring instrument.

Then, the spell dissipation index of the Fear Lighthouse suddenly returned to zero, and the abnormal value of the lighthouse itself, which was higher than the daily average, also began to decline rapidly, returning to normal levels in a very short time.

In fact, up to that moment, Edson could barely guess what was happening inside the lighthouse.

It was probably that Xia Shou finally found the ritual set up by Yi Lei in the Lighthouse of Fear and destroyed the ritual, so the cursed power radiated from the lighthouse to the surrounding area dissipated, and the abnormality itself also disappeared.

But soon, an even more terrifying scene appeared. The abnormality of the Fear Lighthouse itself suddenly returned to zero!
This means that the Lighthouse of Fear is no longer a strange phenomenon, it has become a normal building!
"Where's Xia Shou? Why hasn't Xia Shou come out yet?" Edson whispered again, then suddenly raised his voice, "Send someone in to look for him immediately!"

Before Edson could speak, Su Weiyu had already rushed towards the entrance of the lighthouse.

Just as she rushed to the door, a figure slowly emerged from the corner of the circular staircase at the entrance of the lighthouse.

Xia Shou walked out of the dim tower and raised his hands to his eyebrows to block the dazzling sunlight.

"You scared me to death! How can someone climb a building and get a negative number?"

Su Weiyu rushed forward and lightly punched Xia Shou on the arm.

"Although the process was a bit tortuous, it was still rewarding." Xia Shou took out the torn page from his pocket.

Su Weiyu sighed heavily: "Huh... I really can't do anything about you! But I'm glad you're okay... Besides, you're still you, right?"

"Yes, it's exactly him, the real deal." Xia Shou said with a smile.

As soon as Xia Shou finished speaking, sporadic applause was heard all around.

Then the applause became louder and louder, and all the staff present stood in place to applaud him and look at him in awe.

Edson excitedly stepped forward, grabbed Xia Shou's arms tightly, and said excitedly: "It's beyond imagination! This is success upon success!

You actually eliminated the abnormality of the Beacon of Fear!
Oh my god! Oh my god, how on earth did you do that? ! "

Xia Shou scratched his head embarrassedly.

“Um… this is a long story.

In addition, there is another good news. I got important information about Yi Lei.

But the text on it doesn't seem to be in a common language, I wonder if you have any way to decipher it." After saying that, Xia Shou handed the remaining pages left to him by Ye and the Fire King to the other party.

Edson took the torn page, glanced at it, and nodded slightly: "It should be possible to decipher it. This is probably a kind of sacred language used by nobles in the 16th century. It is a relatively common type of secret language.

It won’t take long to decipher it after we get back.”

……

……

At the same time, on the Dream website, the bet about the bottom card challenge to the lighthouse also came to its final conclusion.

Although the debate about the rules has become polarized, Mengwang itself was not developed to please users, so the authorities have no intention of compromising and acting as a peacemaker.

After a few minutes, the website decisively gave what it believed to be the most fair judgment.

The final judging result was that Xia Shou's final record was -9999 meters, and this data was used as a benchmark to determine the winner.

As a result, the original winning and losing positions were completely overturned.

Although countless gamblers complained constantly, the number of gamblers who profited from this was equally huge. Countless gamblers turned into filial sons and applauded the "fair" judgment of Mengwang.

There was a lot of cursing in the chat room, some people collapsed and went to the rooftop, and some people were having a wild party.

[Hattori Hanzo: Official, I fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations! You let those haters with the bottom cards win the most prize money. Is there any justice in the world? ]

[Anonymous user 55452: Who said we are anti-fans of Dipai? I have always been Dipai’s number one fan! -9999 meters is awesome! Our goal is to explode the center of the earth! ]

[Wild Cowboy: Alas, regardless of winning or losing, the bottom card brother really cannot be predicted by common sense. This is no longer about whether it is an upset or not, this is simply a record! 5000 meters positive upper limit, -9999 meters negative lower limit, I guess no one will be able to break the lighthouse record in the future. ]

[Let's welcome the grand rebellion: Just now, an old acquaintance told me that the abnormality of the Lighthouse of Fear has been directly eliminated due to the challenge of the trump card. This EX-level weird phenomenon will not occur again in the future. ]

[The top card of the trump card: Holy crap! Is this true? This is too strong! It seems that the witch played her real trump card this time. ]

[Cute little cutie: If you ask me, the most awesome one is still the gambling god. Have you forgotten him? The cold-blooded Gao Jin who bet 0 meters at the last second!

Place the bet at the last second, bet two million directly, 0 meters!
Think about what this concept is?
Looking back at these factors now, do you feel differently?

What is the real God of Gamblers? This is the real God of Gamblers! We laugh at others for shaking their hands and not pressing the numbers, but in fact, we brothers are the leeks! Do you understand leeks? 】

At the top of the pyramid, Flando looked at her emptied account, and her already pale face turned even paler than paper.

Flando's eyes were red, as if she was about to cry at any time. She turned her head to look at the man in white robe, but he silently averted his gaze.

"You have to compensate me. It was you who made me push more than 150 meters!" Flandre said in a trembling voice.

The man in the white robe was silent for a while, then said coldly: "I told you, just treat it as my fart, it was you who wanted to gamble."

……

……

Jiangbo City, Control Bureau.

Wu Lang, who had just returned from picking up his car, sat in front of the computer sweating profusely, looking at the two million that had evaporated. His expression was uglier than if his parents had died.

Shangguan Yan walked past him from behind, glanced at the screen, then smiled and patted the other person's shoulder.

"It seems that I can't pay your team's salary, but since it's a gamble, there will be winners and losers, and victory and defeat are common in the military. I hope you won't let this affect your daily work mentality.

Let me put it this way. I have some private commissions from wealthy people, and the bids are quite high. If you are interested, I can introduce you to them. "

"Thank you, Minister."

He clicked the mouse with numb fingers, refreshing his bank account.

Looking at the only 123.50 yuan left in his account, he felt like he was dreaming.

Why? It was obvious that he was going to become a multi-millionaire just a few minutes ago.

But why...why is this happening?
