Chapter 106 Large-scale Mysterious Shopping Mall (10)

Holly's heart was still pounding rapidly, each breath filled with lingering fear and dread.

In that instant, she clearly felt the chill of the fangs almost pierce her neck, and death swept over her like a tidal wave, making it hard for her to breathe.

That suffocating sense of oppression seemed to still linger deep in her lungs, each breath feeling like a knife cutting through her skin.

She slowly raised her eyes and looked at An Jing beside her.

The flames reflected on An Jing's face, casting her silhouette in flickering light.
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and his lips were slightly pale from the intense mental exertion, but his eyes still held an undiminished sharpness.

Dong Qing's heart tightened. At that moment, she understood that she was able to stand here not because of some mysterious mistake, nor because of luck, but because An Jing, at the last moment, used that unfamiliar spiritual power to forcefully pull death away from her.

A surge of heat welled up in my chest, almost forcing tears to well up in my eyes.

It was gratitude for surviving a catastrophe, a flame deep enough to be rekindled at any moment.

"Thank you."

Her voice was soft, but carried an undeniable weight.

An Jing paused for a moment, then grinned and tried to wave her hand to say, "It's nothing."

But the pricking pain in her forehead reminded her that the mental shock she had just experienced was definitely not without cost.

She took a breath, and her chest and head began to throb with pain.

Before I could even speak.

boom--!
Not far away, a mysterious creature pierced by a fire sword finally gave up its last struggle. Its body rapidly carbonized in the scorching flames, turning into a large amount of ashes that drifted away in the wind.

A pungent, sweet-smelling odor immediately filled the air, causing people to wrinkle their noses. The battle did not stop.

Dongqing blinked, suppressing her emotions, and lightly stood up by pushing off the ground with her toes.

She raised her hands and twisted her wrists slightly.

"Om-"

In the firelight, the longswords simultaneously floated in the air, their tips all pointing at the restless shadowy figures around them.

The embers of the swords still flickered, and the very existence of each sword seemed to be the gaze of death.

Just then, An Jing's ears were suddenly filled with the system's excited, almost manic voice:
[Recover a B-grade Mysterious item, and get 5 more draws!]

[An Jing, we've struck gold! Hurry! Kill all these monsters! That'll give you dozens of card draw chances! I'll turn you into a supreme god!]

An Jing's lips twitched violently.

"...Are you out of your mind? I just got lucky and killed a B-rank Mystic, but that doesn't mean I can mass-produce them, okay? You're giving me way too much credit."

"This is a rare opportunity! Who knows, you might become a god today?" The system's voice was enticing.

"Shut up." An Jing rolled her eyes.

He even became a god.

I'll become a great immortal and show you, do you want to try?

Just as I was about to continue focusing on the battlefield, I heard the system throw out a very tempting message:

[I have exactly ten chances to draw cards, should I do a ten-pull?]

An Jing didn't hesitate for a second: "Draw!"

This mysterious magnetic field is fraught with danger. An Jing should seize any opportunity to use it immediately. Having more life-saving measures will give her more peace of mind.

Moreover, in the past, the bonus attributes from each 10-pull were added to mental power.

I wonder if it will be the same this time.

An Jing guessed that the power he had just experienced was similar to mind control.

Therefore, the stronger one's mental strength is, the better.

【Received! Let's do a ten-pull!】 In my mind, accompanied by the system's exaggerated explanation that sounded like it was selling health products, the unknown excitement was intoxicating.

After the ten-pull, the bonus attribute points were unceremoniously added to mental power.

[Current attribute point... um, I forgot.]

An Jing found it somewhat unbelievable.

"No, don't you do data storage? You're the system, you know."

I only verbally remember things.

"……you win."

boom--

The moment the ten points of mental energy were added, the stinging and heaviness vanished instantly, and vision became clear again.

The surge in her mental power allowed her to perceive every mysterious aura around her clearly, and she could even distinguish their breathing frequency and emotional fluctuations.

The system announced the loot item by item:
[One-Star Card - Magnetic Field Flashlight: Dozens of times brighter than a regular flashlight, capable of interfering with some low-level, eerie vision]

[Two-Star Card - Magic Blanket: One-time use, 30-minute flight time]

[Two-Star Card - Invisibility Cloak: One-time use, grants invisibility for 10 minutes, effective only against C-rank and below Mysterious enemies]

Samsung Card - Flower Fairy: Reducing Human Mental Pollution

[Four-Star Card - Lucky Draw: One-time use, increases the probability of drawing high-star cards]

[Four-Star Card - Magic Circle: One-time use, generates a defensive array for 10 minutes, capable of withstanding mysterious attacks below Rank B]

[Four One-Star Cards - Horror Movie Simulator (Collect or Discard?)]

An Jing was distracted after hearing only half of it, her gaze fixed on the mysterious creatures being suppressed by Youlong and Dongqing on the battlefield.

This chaotic situation presents the perfect opportunity to "pick up bargains".

While others entangled the mysterious figure, she quickly finished him off, ensuring her safety and even gaining more chances to draw cards.

however…

A heavy, heart-pounding sense of oppression suddenly descended from the sky, as if an unseen behemoth had opened its eyes in mid-air and was looking down on the entire battlefield.

An Jing suddenly looked up.

In mid-air, a tall, slender figure emerged from the darkness.

It's that A-level mystery that hasn't shown up yet!
It has an almost human-like silhouette, perfect proportions, fluid movements, and even wears an old but clean coat, like an ordinary pedestrian who has been inexplicably dragged into this bloody battlefield.

But those eyes were so black they had no pupils, so deep they seemed to suck in one's entire soul.

It raised its hand, its fingertips gently outlining a ripple of light that quickly spread into a huge, semi-transparent protective shield, enveloping itself and the dozens of eerie creatures behind it.

The protective shield was like a silent barrier, suppressing even the flow of air.

Its lips slowly curved upwards, revealing a smile indistinguishable from a human's, its voice deep and strangely penetrating:

"I never imagined that humanity would awaken such power."

Its gaze swept back and forth between Xin, Youlong, and Dongqing, finally settling on Anjing's face.

The origin.

I never expected it to happen to this little girl.

Why has the original host been bound for so long this time?
A slight upturn of the corners of his lips, as if revealing an admiring yet playful smile to his prey:
"How about we reach an agreement and not interfere with each other? You save your people, and we won't interfere."

The clamor of the battlefield seemed to vanish in that instant, leaving only a chilling silence.

An inexplicable chill ran through An Jing's heart. She was almost certain that behind that smile, it was not just a simple matter of mutual non-interference.
