Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 110, Page 109: A Trap! Another Trap!

According to the usual script, such a risky undertaking should have resulted in an accident.

Only in this way could he have a proper "intimate" time with the maid who had come after him.

But with Ling Xiao.

No accidents.

Although the potential assessment of the [Dimensional Explorer] is not as obviously strong as the previous two professions.

But it is still a top-tier profession within the S-class range.

No one can predict what the future holds.

The terrifying boost to its attributes goes without saying.

The key point is that Ling Xiao has more than just this one profession!

As he gained a better understanding of this strange world, his level became less important.

There are far too many aspects that are more important than that!

After all, when faced with real terror, even the control panel has to obediently play dead and tremble in fear!

Now that most of his abilities have been sealed away, his true strength lies in his powerful basic attributes!

With the superior S-rank profession of Lingxiao, one must also consider the attributes boosted by the [Monster Hunter] class.

Right now, in terms of attributes alone, he's probably the most "superhuman" among tens of thousands of people in the entire region!

What appears to be an extreme jump is actually not a dangerous act of survival.

As he fell, his strength waning, Ling Xiao managed to land on the stairs with the ball of his left foot.

At this moment, his body was almost still, suspended outside the stairs.

With such a small point of leverage, it feels as if gravity will pull you backward at any moment.

Having a point of leverage is enough.

His muscles rippled strangely.

Ling Xiao exerted his strength again in an impossible situation, extending his right foot forward.

It hooked onto the railing between the steps and the handrail, and pulled itself across!

Then, without hesitation, he quietly exerted his strength!

Half-submerged in darkness, Lingxiao swiftly rushed up the stairs to the second floor like a leopard in hunting mode.

The female ghost's detection had only located the stairs; she couldn't continue upwards.

There is no known information about the second floor to Ling Xiao.

The map is covered in fog.

The female ghost was also torn to shreds by the vicious maid.

The rest of the journey is up to him to figure out on his own.

But there is also good news.

The phone stopped ringing.

The sound of bones shattering echoed all the way, finally disappearing at the stairwell.

Reasonable guess.

The maid has indeed discovered herself!

At least they knew of their own existence and were aware of their own movements to some extent.

Although he didn't know how the other party did it, Ling Xiao didn't make any sound, and didn't dare to show any light at all.

But the maid's series of actions made Ling Xiao dare not indulge in any self-deceiving fantasies.

It even tracked down and completely killed female ghosts.

The notes probably don't fully cover the maid's conditions for committing murder.

But the maid appeared just now, and then stopped behind him without immediately launching an attack...

Force yourself to stop thinking about it.

Now that we've temporarily escaped the monster's pursuit on the first floor, let's finish the order first!

Regardless of the reason why the other party is not allowed to go up to the second floor, or whether there is a presence up there that it fears, preventing it from "overstepping its bounds".

In short, Ling Xiao passed the first hurdle without any major incidents.

He has already completed half of the challenge hidden in the notes.

Next, all you need to do is find the dressing table, put the food on it, and you're done.

Potential threats are the most terrifying.

The maid appeared without warning and her strength was immeasurable.

At least it's a monster with a physical form and some mental preparation.

The second floor where Lingxiao is currently located likely harbors a terrifying entity that even it dares not easily offend.

And without any warning, you might end up looking like someone else!

But I'll say it again.

Come here.

I've already taken the medicine and am waiting for it to take effect. You're telling me to call it off today?

Ling Xiao has to see for himself whether it's a person or a ghost to make it worthwhile!

Their fighting spirit is very high.

Therefore, they became increasingly cautious in their actions.

The brain works at high speed, constructing a map of the second floor from the information transmitted back by spatial perception.

The fog in our field of vision is gradually clearing away.

Ling Xiao walked slowly, supporting himself against the wall.

There were many broken bones on the ground floor, and the floor was tiled, which was very clean and had very little friction, which made Ling Xiao's previous movements very difficult.

But the second floor was all wooden flooring, and every step Ling Xiao took made him nervous!

I was afraid that one of the wooden planks would creak and groan over time.

This creates iconic scenes that have become enduring favorites in horror films.

Fortunately, the residents in the villa area are all wealthy, and the flooring materials they use are very high-end.

We didn't go very far.

Ling Xiao was simply walking very carefully, which is why it took him a while.

Suddenly, the view opened up before me.

[Spatial Perception] Unable to see the whole picture, Ling Xiao's attention was drawn to a corner of a table on the left side of the "open space".

He slowly approached, finally capturing the entire table and the hanging mirror in his mind.

Is this... considered a dressing table?

Ling Xiao never expected that he would be stumped by such a problem when the time came.

It looks a bit big, and there are two chairs there.

Unfortunately, there was a mirror hanging on the wall.

However, judging from the placement of the chairs, it seems very incongruous for the lady of the house to be dressing and grooming here.

As he entered the area, a cold, damp air current swept through him.

Something has appeared in this space...

Everything in the space was as usual, with no "objects" suddenly appearing.

But Ling Xiao knew that intuition was sometimes a spiritual warning!

When you feel something is wrong, it's best to prepare for the worst.

Assuming the enemy exists but cannot be detected, then for him in his current state, there are only two possibilities:

A strange soul form similar to that of the Duchess;

It's like a real, secret spying!

Ling Xiao stepped forward, somewhat tense, and began to carefully check and confirm the destination.

[Unwavering Will] can only greatly reduce the negative effects, but the seeds of fear will inevitably take root and sprout in his heart.

However, this process was suppressed.

We're just waiting for the moment he breaks down, when all the accumulated fear will explode!

table……

Mirror……

Correct!

There are also candles!

The candle in the notes is a very important detail!

Look on the table...

one two three……

Ling Xiao's expression turned somewhat grim as he picked up the last candlestick.

Does this melted wax, which has turned into a lump, count as a candle?

A chill began to creep up my trouser leg.

This mental and physical torment, akin to being possessed by a venomous snake, forced Ling Xiao to suppress the urge to activate his skills and talents.

The [Channel] and [Guild] offer many hidden benefits that are not readily apparent.

Intelligence is a major category.

He and Qi Heng were not the only ones who unlocked hidden quests and solo instances.

Other explorers, even if they are not as good as them, also have their own opportunities.

Risks and rewards go hand in hand, and there will always be people who, whether out of curiosity or good intentions, share their insights.

Based on the information currently available, there are three types of copies.

The promotion quest in [Raccoon City...] is the source of disaster. The tyrant's strength is a bit excessive, but at least it is a simple combat dungeon.

This has also been verified in other populations.

The "Source of Calamity" that they created themselves basically had to be cleared by fists!

The percentage of explorers who have opened the [Mysterious Realm] is very small, and according to Ling Xiao's statistics, these people are all quite strong, and many of them are even on the list.

In addition to combat, the dungeons also feature various strange and wonderful exploration and puzzle-solving activities.

Some monsters or anomalies left a deep impression on them.

Because they couldn't win, or rather, they didn't win by fighting at all.

You need to use your brain and utilize the information you find in the dungeon to complete your mission.

As for [The Rift in the Abyss].

There's no news yet; it's possible someone is involved but doesn't want to talk about it.

After much hesitation, Ling Xiao still did not open the delivery box.

He felt something was off about this place.

The number of candles was difficult to determine, and based on the constantly replenishing senses, the surroundings did not resemble a bedroom layout.

It's more like a living room.

Of course, this applies if the bedroom in the villa is the same size as the research topic.

Let's just assume he's a poor guy who's never seen the world.

Although the chill and malice were pressing down on him without any attempt to conceal it, making his movements slow and stiff.

But after struggling with his thoughts, Ling Xiao decided to continue his investigation.

The latest novel is first published here!

Proceed along the wall.

As long as you don't change direction, keep your left hand against the wall and feel your way.

If all goes well, he should be able to walk through the entire room after passing the four corners.

Return to the beginning of the corridor.

As for the room being too large, there might be fog in the middle.

Once the boundaries are identified, they can be easily cleared.

Just do it!

The eerie presence lingering beside him showed no intention of continuing to exert pressure, so Ling Xiao, despite the interference, began to steadily advance.

A lamp was placed in the first corner.

I did not touch it with my hands.

Ling Xiao was afraid that this thing would suddenly light up and cause him unnecessary trouble.

Keep going.

Passing by the bay window, the night outside was as dark as ink.

Ling Xiao didn't open his eyes, so he couldn't determine the exact nature of the light coming in from the outside.

You might open your eyes and see a creepy creature perched on your shoulder...

Keep walking, the second corner is a bookshelf.

Carefully avoid it, and continue turning after confirming that there is a corner behind you.

The road ahead was much longer than the previous two sections, and along the way we encountered a large-screen TV and a sofa, with fruit and candles on the coffee table.

Ling Xiao stopped and carefully sensed it.

There were many candles, but they were just sitting there.

We passed the third and fourth corners in turn.

Thus, he returned to where he started.

Now, even with the strangeness "stuck" to his body, Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

This is not a bedroom!

Forget about the other furniture, at least he couldn't find a bed!

If a sofa, a place where you can lie down, counts as a bed, then Ling Xiao has nothing to say and can just consider his death as in vain!

He took out the food without seeing the table, mirror, and candles, which seems to have saved him from a disaster.

Submitting an order in the "living room" might lead to some unpleasant consequences...

Since this place is most likely a trap, the bedroom should be at the other end of the corridor.

He temporarily put aside the abnormality in his body.

As long as it doesn't affect his actions or thoughts, Ling Xiao is quite tolerant of the abnormalities in his body.

The hatred for the Dream Curse, which he originally loathed, dissipated considerably after he survived it and instead gained an excellent skill.

From this perspective, Ling Xiao's mindset is quite good.

very realistic.

Stepping out of the living room, the chilly feeling instantly vanished.

Too lazy to think about it any further, he quickened his pace and headed to the other side.

Before long, Ling Xiao arrived at a bedroom with the door ajar.

The reason I am so sure is because the open crack is emitting a rich fragrance.

She exudes the charm of a mature woman.

It smells familiar; it's like I've smelled it before.

But Ling Xiao couldn't tell whether it was the fragrance of cosmetics or the work of shower gel or other similar products.

It's a place for people to live in, after all!

If spatial perception can't penetrate deeply, then let's go in first and see what happens!

The door hinges are also of very good quality.

The unfamiliar guest was placed inside smoothly without making a sound.

As soon as Lingxiao entered, the fragrance became even stronger.

I feel a bit more relaxed.

For him, who had been on edge ever since entering the villa, this was a welcome "replenishment."

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Ling Xiao quickly began to methodically map out the room, navigating around the bed, bathroom, bay window...

Finally, it stopped in front of a table.

The place is filled with a rich aroma, and there are bottles and jars on the table, as well as a wooden-framed dressing mirror with lace trim hanging on the wall.

There is only one chair, facing the dressing table and vanity mirror.

Judging from Ling Xiao's stereotypes, this is a dressing table!

And the bedroom is not wrong either!

Quickly count the candles on the table!

A moment later, a look of joy appeared on Ling Xiao's face in the darkness.

Exactly four!

correct!

This time we've found the right one!

With masterful control of his body, he skillfully removed the delivery box from his back and took out the plates.

As a qualified delivery person, this operation can be performed perfectly even in the dark!

But just as he was holding the plate with both hands, preparing to place it on the dressing table...

The movement suddenly stopped.

The four candles were arranged in a strange quadrilateral.

That's why Ling Xiao put his hands down.

Although you can place them steadily on the table with one hand, it's best to use both hands to avoid accidentally touching them.

But just as his hand passed by the candle, something unusual flashed by.

Normally, this inconspicuous anomaly would be easily overlooked due to the interference of the aroma.

However, the negative impact was greatly reduced on Ling Xiao, which is why he was able to wake up in time!

This candle...

Why isn't it hot?!

Despite possessing fire-attribute talents and statuses, his understanding of the way of fire is not as profound as his professional space, nor as profound as the limited [Azure Wave Domain].

But whether or not it's popular can't be hidden from him!

Cold sweat broke out immediately.

Ling Xiao hurriedly retrieved the food and put it back into the delivery box.

Even if it turns out to be a false alarm later, it's better to waste time bringing it out than to leave it exposed here.

Extend your finger and slowly lower it from above the candle.

Logically speaking, you need to be very close to feel the heat of a candle flame.

But from above, even at a distance, you'll feel a burning sensation.

Even when Ling Xiao moved his finger to less than a centimeter from the top of the candle, he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

My heart sank.

He quickly tried the other ones as well.

They're all destroyed!

This is a trap too!?

The series of shocks had begun to damage his mental state.

Fortunately, it hasn't had a major impact yet; I'm just internally cursing the customers.

Unconsciously, I took two steps back, moving away from that genuine dressing table.

Ling Xiao breathed in the fragrant air, not daring to linger. After taking a few final glances at the layout of the room, he quickly left.

Fearful, he had only one place left to explore.

I calmed myself down briefly and regained my composure.

He walked toward the last room, whose door was tightly shut.

If he wasn't mistaken, the actual delivery location was right here...

The person who actually ordered the food is probably waiting for you to arrive inside...
