Headless Immortal

Chapter 38 The Wanderer Returns

Suddenly.

The dim yellow light surrounded him.

The traveler returns home.

It's like an eternity.

Lu Xun looked down and saw that his purple and blue skirt armor was burned to shreds, leaving only the belt and the main armor plate, which looked like a pair of shorts loosely tied around his waist.

He hurriedly went to find the two booklets he had tucked in his belt. He took them out and flipped through them. They were mostly intact, with some edges and corners showing signs of carbonization.

Most of the seventeen-tael silver coin melted.

Lu found the electronic scale, turned it back to zero, and the scale showed that the silver weighed 350 grams.

He abandoned that large bag of dried goods during his journey.

Lu Xun silently apologized, feeling it was a real pity.

It stretched out its claws and clenched them tightly, roaring, "I'm back!"

He not only returned, but he also wore the head of a great demon like the Five Gods.

He rushed to the door in two strides, ready to push open the heavy glass door with both arms.

As soon as the door opened, the deep darkness stretched out without end or sky, as if he were on a small boat adrift on a vast, boundless sea.

Lu Xun took a step forward, but the invisible wall blocked his way. Unwilling to give up, he rallied his energy, took a few steps back, and then accelerated forward.

boom.

It hit me so hard I saw stars.

"can not go out?"

Lu Xun was puzzled.

He went out last time, and the streets outside were still the familiar Huacheng neighborhood.

Why can't we get out this time?

"Could it be because I have the body of a monster?"

Lu Xun subconsciously searched for the head.

The chieftain's skull, which glowed faintly white in a strange space, was seen.

Once you concentrate.

The ink-black smoke-like characters appeared before my eyes.

[Whether or not it will devour the skull of Chen Sheng, the Dragon in the Waves of the Dragon Village]

"no."

Lu Xun refused to be devoured by the Five Gods. He used this head to travel in the modern world. Otherwise, if he had a monster head and could still say "Kaspree," and even had a monster body, wouldn't that attract the attention of the relevant departments? It would be bad if they sent someone to arrest him.

Turn your attention to the tiger's head, which is covered in spots.

The black smoke made the writing reappear.

[Whether it devours the skull of Jing Shijun's 'Crazy Tiger']

"Sure enough!"

A glint flashed in Lu Xun's eyes. He wondered why Old Cat Three-Legged could devour heads and use ashes, but Toad and Rampaging Tiger couldn't. They must not have fulfilled their obsessions.

Now that he has fulfilled his obsession with the Five Gods, he has not only returned to the modern world, but has also unlocked the power of his head.

"Swallow!"

The skull of the Five Gods 'Mountain Lord' devours the 'Rampaging Tiger of the World-Governing Army'.

[Trickery: Monkey Dance] → [Spell: Monkey Dance]

"it is good!"

The great demon's head has gained another spell.

Lu Xun, who had swallowed the tiger's head, turned to look at the toad in the strange space.

This is not very useful either.

[Should we devour it...?]

"Yes!"

The skull of the Five-Power God 'Mountain King' devours the Five-Power God 'Laughing Monk'.

[Spell: Water Play] → [Spell: Water Play]

"Is this the end?"

"What changes!"

Lu Xun waited for a long time, looking around anxiously, hoping that the black smoke characters in his field of vision would continue to change.

"strengthen?"

[Insufficient bone ash, unable to enhance]

"I just threw a toad's head at you, where's the enhancement?"

[Insufficient bone ash, unable to enhance]

Lu Xun understood a little. It was because the toad was a little sprite conjured by the Five Gods' 'General Selection' spell, so even if it devoured the toad, its head would not be strengthened.

Either the toad's head strengthened the Five Gods' head, but the 'energy' was insufficient, so the 'energy' needed to be replenished to complete this strengthening.

This 'energy' is naturally the ashes. Lu Xun found a new tape recorder in the warehouse.

After unpacking, I placed it on the murky glass counter, turned on the recording equipment, and then went into my small room to find the laptop that I treasured.

This was a secondhand item I bought from a family. They only charged him 1,200 yuan. I heard that a brand new one would cost 10,000 yuan, but he didn't have that much money.

The money is mostly deposited into the hospital's bank account, waiting for the hospital to automatically deduct the payment.

The hospital doesn't deduct much; consider it saving money.

He needs some money.

That's a huge sum!
I plugged in the power and pressed the power button, and the XP system's operating interface slowly unfolded.

After turning on the computer, Lu Xun created a new Word document.

"Roar…"

Realizing he could no longer speak, he removed the head of the Wutong Mountain Lord and replaced it with the head of the village chief, Chen Sheng.

The hairy-faced Five-Tong God transformed into a tall, strong, fair-skinned man.

He took out clothes from the plastic box piled under the small bed and put them on, choosing the loosest and largest size possible. Even after putting them on, they were still very tight, probably because Chen Sheng, the Dragon in the Waves, was more than a size larger than his original size.

Chen Sheng had a thick beard and messy long hair, giving him a Beatles-like style.

Lu Xun didn't know how to tie her hair up in a bun, so she just grabbed a rubber band and tied it up.

"Cough cough."

Now I can speak normally.

"First recording, second return from the strange world..."

Lu Xun pulled the recorder closer to himself: "I'll organize it now."

Fingers tapping on the keyboard:

The cause of all changes is 'unknown'

One: Possible reasons for 'unknown' occurrences
1. Playing pirated cassette tapes on a DVD player
2. The young man with blood at the corner of his mouth carries the 'radiation' of the illusory world.

3. Boil noodles in water and add a poached egg.
4. The large-scale illusionary realm in Chongyang District affected
5. The man in the silver-white mask cut off my head.
6. A metal box that blends technology and fantasy
7. Overall changes to the grocery store
8. Other

Second: The impact of the 'unknown'

1. I'm not dead, but I'm dying. My headless body is constantly on the verge of death.

2. Travel to another strange world (where monsters are known to exist), and be able to return.
3. An additional strange space was created.

Using the heads of other creatures (including humans) to become the head master.
Fulfilling the 'wishes' and 'obsessions' of the head's owner unlocks the head's power. This unlocked power can then be strengthened with other heads. If the 'obsessions' haven't been fulfilled, the power can only be used initially and cannot be strengthened (for now, it's unclear if this will change later).

Store excess skulls and crush them to obtain ashes.

4. The grocery store became an isolated island in the darkness, and I couldn't get out (repeated: I couldn't get out). It's worth noting that last time a girl broke into the grocery store, I got out (wait and see if the first time I got out can be repeated).

5. Use the employer's gift to strengthen the skull (awaiting another round of repeated trials).

6. You can take out physical items from the strange world, including armor, books, silver, etc. I weighed the three items separately: silver: 350 grams, books: 150 grams, and the armor skirt: 1000 grams, for a total of 1500 grams.

7. Other

Three: How to deal with the 'unknown'

1. Track down the 'metal box,' investigate the masked man, and retrieve my head.

2. Pay attention to the 'unknown' and keep detailed records of changes in yourself and the general store.
3. Find a way out of the grocery store.

4. Making money

Lu Xun then typed out the detailed information about the several heads he had obtained.

He memorized 'toad' and 'tiger' from memory and organized them in a separate document called 'skull'.

This is clearly a huge project, and there's still a lot to record, such as martial arts techniques...

Let's eat first now.

Man is made of iron, and food is made of steel.

Raise your hand and press the pause button on the recorder.

Lu Xun returned to his little nest and found half a bundle of noodles. After thinking for a moment, he took out another half bundle to make a full bundle. His original body only needed half a bundle, but now he was sure he wouldn't have enough to eat from the head of this bandit leader.

He prepared a lot of noodles like this, boiled in water with salt and a poached egg.

This way of eating is slightly better, as it provides more nutrition than simply eating rice with chili peppers.

Upon touching the phone, Lu Xun discovered it had automatically shut down. He removed the battery and used a universal charger to charge it.

The pale-faced, burly man carrying a small stainless steel basin picked up the remote control.

They should still be showing "Soldiers Sortie" at this time.

rustle.

The screen is flashing with static.

Lu Xun approached and raised his hand, intending to pat the large-headed TV.

jingle!

The wind chimes made a series of crisp sounds as the door was pushed open.

The television, which had been making a hissing sound, suddenly displayed a program.

The child carrying a large schoolbag entered the house under the glow of the setting sun.
