Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 14 Compass
In the ruins, Xia Shou stood alone, the shadow under his feet covering the charred corpse above his head.

The devouring progress was increasing little by little, and the red line under his feet was rotating at an extremely slow speed.

Generally speaking, assuming that the blood demon's movement speed is constant, the slower the red line rotates, the farther the blood demon is from him.

Now, the Blood Demon should be quite a distance away from him, and he found that in addition to the thickest red line, there was another thinner red line that was also moving slowly. The danger represented by that red line was second only to the Blood Demon. As expected, it was the ghost leopard with black flames burning all over its body.

It has to be said that Seeking Death is not just a navigation map, it can also be regarded as a positioning system to some extent.

Judging from the direction in which the two lines are moving now, the Blood Demon is now tracking the resentful spirit.

This is consistent with what happened last time. The Blood Demon arrived at the scene immediately after the Leopard arrived at the ruins. At that time, the Blood Demon should have been tracking the Black Panther.

Now the distance between the two parties is not too close to him, so it should be no problem to maintain it until the swallowing is over.

"Lord Xia Shou, I will protect you." Alice said gently.

Xia Shou couldn't answer, but he felt much more at ease.

……

Time passed minute by minute, and after an unknown amount of time, Devouring finally reached the end.

The time saved in this operation is much faster than the last time.

[Devouring rate: 100%]

[Swallowed, you gain a skill——[Reach the pinnacle in an unmanned place!]]

[Introduction:
Practice boxing and meditate alone;
Fight alone, heal alone;
Carrying everything alone, saving the world alone. 】

[Effect: Lock any number of hostile targets. The moment you activate this skill, refresh the cooldown of all extraordinary skills. You will ignore the opponent's extraordinary resistance for one minute and be exempt from the cost of all extraordinary skills except this skill.]

[Price: After one minute, if the target is still alive, you will die;

What you do within this minute will be considered as 'secret'. If the secret is spread a second time, you will die;

After the effect of this skill ends, all extraordinary skills are forced to enter cooldown. 】

[Note 1: Although this power can be used frequently, those who challenge the abyss must be careful not to fall into the abyss - using this power will increase your sinking speed.]

[Note 2: I got a memory of a strong man. I can read the memory through long-term meditation.]

Xia Shou clenched his fists and stretched his stiff body.

"Very good. Now we have gathered all that can be gathered. It is time for the finale."

……

……

Cafe.

Su Weiyu changed into a white shirt, took the compass from behind her waist and took a look. The needle was still spinning, with no sign of stopping, as if it was broken.

"I shouldn't have come in if I had known." Su Weiyu sighed and slowly sat down with her back against the load-bearing wall.

She no longer had the energy to keep running around here; the blood demon would find her sooner or later.

But... do I have any other choice besides trusting the guidance of the compass?
She had had enough of being alone in the world.

Don't be seen by anyone, and do anything without being noticed.

No one praised, and no one criticized.

No one sympathizes, no one cares...

She would not be praised for saving a drowning child, and even the child himself would ignore her. No one would criticize her for tripping an innocent passerby, and even the person involved would not be angry with her.

Even if she took away useful banned items from the powerful Control Bureau, no one would stop her.

Likewise, when she was sick, there was no doctor to see her, so she had to look up information online and diagnose herself.

If you get injured accidentally, then a minor cut is not a big deal and one person can anaesthetize and suture it. But if the wound happens to be on your hand, it will be extremely difficult to sew it yourself. If it is more serious, it will be life-threatening.

The fact that she is still alive today is probably due to her exceptionally healthy body, otherwise a severe fever would have caused her to die quietly in bed.

"You will definitely meet someone who can see you, Su Weiyu...you have to work hard." Su Weiyu forced a smile and encouraged herself.

Talking to herself is her habit. Once, because she had no one to talk to, she lost her normal language function and it took her a long time to recover.

She also thought that since there was no one to talk to, it didn't matter if she became mute. But in fact, she always had a small wish in her heart... What if?
What if there is someone in this world who can see me, what if such a person really exists?
Then, when they meet for the first time, how should she greet him?

"I'm Su Weiyu, nice to meet you." - This is what she planned to say. This was the most refined opening line after she added and deleted lines countless times.

if.

If such a person really exists, she will become his most loyal partner and accompany him to do anything he wants to do!
Because to her, she and that person are the whole world, and this world belongs only to them!
So she traveled around the world with the famous pirate compass, hoping that the compass could guide her to what she wanted. She felt that it must be someone who could see her.

She stared at the constantly rotating golden pointer 24 hours a day, losing her appetite and fantasizing that the pointer would suddenly stop at a certain position!
Then she would keep walking in that direction, walking around the earth until she found the person who could see her!
...But the reality is that the compass kept spinning and spinning for three years, exhausting all her patience.

Until yesterday.

The compass suddenly stopped.

Su Weiyu was almost fainted from excitement.

But when she followed the compass and arrived at the door of the house, she realized the potential risks.

She went to the Control Bureau to look up all the information about this room and learned that this was a strange phenomenon that had once devoured an S-level investigator, which was undoubtedly beyond her ability.

Should I come in here or not?

Is there really someone here that I'm looking for?

She didn't stop questioning herself for a minute.

At that time, she had actually already vaguely realized something.

But she finally came in.

Now she was finally sure of what she had longed for in her heart at that time.

"Captain Sparrow, you are right... Perhaps what I long for is not companions, but death." Su Weiyu looked at the constantly spinning golden pointer and laughed at herself.

Just as she finished speaking, suddenly! Su Weiyu saw the golden needle on the compass stopped turning again and pointed straight ahead!
Su Weiyu's pupils suddenly shrank, her breathing stopped, and her expression froze on her face like a dried oil painting.

Su Weiyu stood up against the wall, squinted her eyes, and showed an incredible expression.

Compass, compass...what do you mean?
Is it because I have made up my mind that I am pointed in the direction of death?

Or... is this actually true...

"Trust you again?"

"Yes! I'll trust you again!"

Su Weiyu ran wildly on the ceiling of the cafe, carrying the wild sword that was taller than her.

She has to find the person she has been looking for before the needle moves again!
