Who invited the witch into the eerie game?

Chapter 75 Captain Zhou, This is the Strange Object 031

Mystery 031, The Magnifying Glass of Happiness.

Tan Qi quickly averted her gaze, not daring to look at the strange object any longer.

She was filled with fear, and her body was trembling uncontrollably.

This is no longer a question of whether there's a problem or not.

Normally, the item numbers will have a prefix of ABCDEFJ to distinguish them.

Seeing the number, you can basically determine some characteristics of these strange creatures.

However, regardless of the prefix, monsters numbered below 1000 are extremely dangerous.

Monsters numbered below 500 are extremely dangerous.

Monsters numbered 100 or below are classified as extremely dangerous.

If you're not a demigod, you can't possess it.

As a special investigator for Bureau 725, Tan Qi was very clear about these things.

Each of these strange creatures requires a special sealing method when not in use to prevent them from reviving and causing unimaginable disasters.

Especially for the monsters numbered below 500, without any restrictions, they can turn an area into a monster in just a few hours.

The monsters numbered below 100 are even more terrifying.

Of course, all of the above-mentioned strange creatures have letter prefixes.

But the strange object that Su Xiaoshuang took out didn't have a letter prefix or number, which made it even more terrifying.

To date, there are very few records of such strange objects within Bureau 725.

Even if it exists, it will be classified as top secret.

For these special investigators, the training consisted of only one sentence: "Once you find something, don't hesitate, run immediately, run as far as you can, and whether you survive or not is up to fate."

However, when she actually faced the monster 031, let alone escape, she felt that her body was out of control and she couldn't move at all.

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Tan Qi's face was pale and she was sweating profusely, Su Xiaoshuang was worried that something had happened to her, so she gently patted Tan Qi.

In an instant, Tan Qi was like someone who had fallen into a deep pool and was drowning. Just as she was about to suffocate, she was pulled out of the water.

"Cough cough————"

Tan Qi coughed loudly.

She greedily inhaled the surrounding air.

For the first time, she had never felt that being alive could be so wonderful.

Even though she had entered the bizarre game many times and experienced countless crises, none of them could compare to what happened today.

In a daze, Tan Qi felt as if her body and soul had been torn apart and reassembled.

I don't know if this is just my imagination.

"Thank you, I'm fine."

Tan Qi quickly replied, "It should be a side effect of pollution."

"It's alright, here you go."

Su Xiaoshuang placed the "Strange Object 031, Magnifying Glass of Happiness" into Tan Qi's hands.

Tan Qi looked at the magnifying glass in her hand, which looked like a child's toy, and her body couldn't help but tremble again.

She closed her eyes for a moment, preparing to face death.

It should be understood that such dangerous creatures cannot be controlled without the combined efforts of several demigods of Sequence 4 or higher.

Players below Sequence 4 who touch it will be directly corrupted and eroded, their sanity will be instantly reduced to zero, and their bodies will be twisted into unimaginable monsters.

One second, two seconds, three seconds —

Tan Qi opened her eyes.

Reason remains.

The thought process is still there.

The body is still intact.

She continues to live as before.

Are you really okay?

Su Xiaoshuang asked with concern, "Do you need me to call 120? Or should I take you to the hospital?"

"It's alright, it's alright."

Tan Qi subconsciously took two steps back, almost dropping the strange object 031 in her hand.

But how could she dare to treat the strange creature 031?

This is the Mystery 031.

If it were to actually fall to the ground, this thing would probably be even more terrifying than the eerie messenger that Captain Zhou mentioned, turning the entire city of Shanghai into a bizarre place.

She looked at the magnifying glass, then at Su Xiaoshuang.

Tan Qi thought of a joke she had seen before, about a little girl selling missiles.

No, this is even more outrageous than the little girl selling missiles.

She was essentially holding a hydrogen bomb in her hands.

The kind that could explode at any moment.

This is so exciting!

For the first time, Tan Qi, who had never cried even in the bizarre game, wanted to cry.

"Oh, this magnifying glass is for you. Remember to return it when you're done."

Su Xiaoshuang said, "I'm going to study this magic book. I hope I can learn a few spells."

"Um----"

Holding the magnifying glass of happiness, Tan Qi looked bewildered: "Excuse me, how do I use this strange object 031?"

Su Xiaoshuang said, "It's very simple. Just put the magnifying glass in front of your eyes, and whatever you see will be magnified. How much magnification you want is up to you."

"For example, if you see a monster, you can enlarge one of its legs so it can't move, allowing you to escape."

?

A huge question mark popped into Tan Qi's mind.

No, you really treat the dignified Mystery 031 like a toy?

Su Xiaoshuang blinked.

Only then did she realize that she had said so much to Tan Qi.

Is it because the Special Investigator from Bureau 725 is very interesting, or is it an instinctive trust?

Seeing Su Xiaoshuang fall silent, Tan Qi looked at the strange object 031 in her hand and subconsciously thought to say that she dared not lend it.

However, the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he dared not say them out loud.

"Thanks."

When she came to her senses, she found that she had already left the villa.

Su Xiaoshuang also closed the villa's gate directly.

Looking at the strange object 031 in her hand, Tan Qi broke out in a cold sweat, at a loss for what to do.

She tried to store it in the space inside the game terminal, only to be horrified to find that the game terminal did not respond at all.

In other words, the Mysterious Object 031 cannot be included in the game terminal.

This discovery terrified Tan Qi even more.

Not to mention carrying the strange object 031 outside, who knows what kind of disaster it would cause.

"What to do, what to do?"

Tan Qi would stop every few steps.

It's like an overheated robot, just short of steam coming out of its head.

At the same time, because she had this strange object 031 in her hands, Tan Qi had no mental space left to think about Su Xiaoshuang.

After hesitating for a long time, Tan Qi took out an exquisite wooden box from the game terminal and carefully placed the strange item 031 inside.

Put it in.

In an instant, the exquisite wooden box turned into sawdust, which drifted away in the wind.

Tan Qi was startled.

Then, she changed to an exquisite metal box.

In an instant, the metal box was magnified a hundred times in size, almost crushing her foot.

Clearly, the Mysterious Object 031 is very unhappy with the box.

What should I do?

Tan Qi searched again and found a very beautiful piece of silk.

She wrapped the strange object 031 in silk.

This time, nothing unusual happened.

Tan Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

wrong!

The next second, Tan Qi became extremely nervous.

How could the mysterious creature 031 be so easy to talk to?

Her current actions are tantamount to wrapping a hydrogen bomb in a layer of cloth.

Tan Qi pondered whether or not to put it in her pocket.

But what if something unexpected happens and the silk covering the mysterious object 031 comes apart?

With no better option, she could only hold the strange object 031 in her hand.

With a heart full of trepidation, Tan Qi walked out of Tianhai Manor.

She hailed a taxi and arrived at the 725 Police Station in Shanghai.

When they reached the door, Tan Qi stopped.

"I am Special Investigator Tan Qi. Let Captain Zhou come out and see me."

Holding the mysterious object 031, Tan Qi revealed her identity to the guard at the door, "Also, set the defense of Bureau 725 to maximum."

?

The guard at Bureau 725 was a little confused.

Theoretically speaking, if a special investigator wants to go into Bureau 725 to see Captain Zhou, he can just walk in directly; why would he need to be notified by them?

However, trusting them, they carried it out immediately.

Aside from immediately initiating defense.

In fact, it's not necessary.

In the past few days, the security and defense of Bureau 725 has been raised to almost the highest level.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Zhou Daoshen rushed out and saw Tan Qi standing outside Bureau 725.

With just one glance, he immediately ordered, "Drive over here, change locations."

"Relocation" refers to the backup site opened by Bureau 725 in the suburbs of Shanghai.

In the car, Zhou Daoshen remained silent and said nothing.

Because some things don't need to be said.

As he emerged from Bureau 725, the strange items he was equipped with remained remarkably silent, which speaks volumes.

His years of work experience told him that Tan Qi harbored a great terror.

Thirty minutes later, the car arrived at backup station number 01.

Upon arriving at backup station 01, Zhou Daoshen immediately raised the defense level here to the highest level.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Zhou Dao took a deep breath and asked.

"I gave the magic book to Su Xiaoshuang."

Tan Qi said, "Su Xiaoshuang lent me a strange object."

"that's all?"

Zhou Daoshen was a little confused.

As Su Feng's older sister, it's normal for Su Xiaoshuang to have some strange items in her possession.

But how do we explain the great terror emanating from Tan Qi?

What exactly is it?

Could it be that they've been targeted by a mysterious messenger?

Tan Qi raised her hand and pointed to the strange object 031 wrapped in silk: "It's this one."

?

Zhou Daoshen's expression turned serious: "A strange creature, are we just going to contain it like this? This strange creature's number isn't that high, is it?"

"The number is Strange Object 031."

"

Tan Qi said.

She had been holding these words in for a long time.

Do you know what it feels like to hold a terrifying, unpredictable creature in your hand that could explode at any moment?

She could finally speak out; she had someone to share her feelings with.

Zhou Daoshen's voice trembled: "Tan Qi, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"The number is 031, with no prefix."

Tan Qi repeated: "The name is Magnifying Glass of Happiness."

Zhou Daoshen felt time stand still. "Happiness Magnifying Glass"—what a name! It truly brings joy!

"Do we need to open the silk?" Tan Qi asked.

"No, no need."

Zhou Daoshen had no doubts whatsoever.

No wonder the strange creatures on his body went silent instantly. With such a ruthless attack, how could they not go silent?

"Su Xiaoshuang, how did you get it?"

"She took it out directly, put it on the table, and then put it in my hand."

Tan Qi did not hide anything and explained the situation completely.

"You mean, when Su Xiaoshuang took out this strange object, there was no protection whatsoever? No containment conditions were mentioned at all? It was like she was introducing an interesting toy?"

Zhou Daoshen's heart trembled.

He considered many possibilities, but never this one.

What he wrote in the top-secret file still greatly underestimated Su Xiaoshuang's abilities.

Both sisters have a contamination value of 0. The younger sister, Su Feng, has a sequence 3, so how could Su Xiaoshuang's sequence be low?

This reasonably explains why Su Xiaoshuang entered bizarre games that only experienced players would visit.

"Yes, Captain Zhou," Tan Qi said.

I want to be alone.

Zhou Daoshen subconsciously reached into his pocket for a pack of cigarettes, only to realize he had none.

Originally, the intention was to solve the problem of the strange messenger.

After thinking for a long time, I tried to get Tan Qi to seek help from Su Xiaoshuang, maybe there really would be a solution.

To everyone's surprise, Su Xiaoshuang actually helped, but Zhou Daoshen couldn't be happy at all; instead, he felt like crying.

【Strange Object 031, The Magnifying Glass of Happiness】————

Good guy!

Now, there's no need for the eerie messengers to take action. If they're not careful, the entire city of Shanghai could be turned into a monster.

"Did she mention how the Mysterious 031 is usually contained?" Zhou Daoshen asked.

"No," Tan Qi shook her head.

"Did she mention what price she would have to pay to use the Mysterious 031?" Zhou Daoshen asked again.

"No," Tan Qi shook her head.

Destroy it.

Zhou Daoshen took a puff of the non-existent cigarette.

"That's fine then," Zhou Daoshen said. "The task of finding the strange messenger will continue to be yours. If you need anything, just come here."

"Captain Zhou, are you just going to abandon everything?"

Tan Qi said, "How about you keep this 'Strange Object 031' for now, Captain Zhou?"

Zhou Daoshen took a few steps back as if by lightning.

What a joke.

Although it's unclear why Tan Qi was able to hold the artifact 031 without it being contaminated or corroded, and the contamination level was within the normal range, it doesn't mean that just anyone is qualified to hold the artifact 031.

"Don't worry, I just checked the pollution monitor at the site, and your pollution level is normal. Don't worry."

Zhou Daoshen glanced at his phone: "I have other things to do, I'll be going now."

Holding the strange object 031 in her hands, Tan Qi's brain went blank again.

Inside the villa.

Su Xiaoshuang opened the book on fire magic and began to study.

This magic book was written in the language of elves from an unknown world. Theoretically, Su Xiaoshuang shouldn't have been able to understand it, but after seeing the book, she was able to understand the words inside.

It's like the brain has a built-in translator.

It's amazing.

The first volume of "Fire Magic" mainly explains basic knowledge such as elements, elemental combinations, magic runes, and magic circuits.

This content is equivalent to what a primary school math textbook teaches students: 1234567890, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, basic equations, and knowledge of squares, triangles, circles, etc.

These are precisely the foundations that Su Xiaoshuang lacks.

"So that's how it is."

After reading the first volume, Su Xiaoshuang felt that she had learned how to transfer magic power.

She took off the silver ring Winnie had given her and tried to channel her own magic into it.

As her magic flowed continuously into the silver ring, it emitted a faint magical glow, looking very beautiful.

Fifteen minutes later, Su Xiaoshuang stopped charging her magic.

The silver ring is fully charged.

"We're safe now."

Su Xiaoshuang put on the silver ring and continued learning magic.

"Fireball spell is to condense fire element in the air —"

"Fire produces light—wait, it seems like if we simplify light magic, we can use fireball."

With a try-it-out mentality, Su Xiaoshuang spread out her hands.

In an instant, a small fireball condensed into shape.

The small fireball is about 60mm in diameter, bright red, and very stable.

This feeling is like having mastered some advanced mathematics and then solving elementary school problems in reverse.

"marvelous!"

Su Xiaoshuang was very excited; she had mastered a new magic trick.

The magic in the Holy Scripture of Light is too profound, and there are many of them that she doesn't know. It would be good for her to learn a few fire spells first.
