Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Duration: Permanent.

Summoning cost: None.

Talents: Extraterrestrial life, parasitic machinery.

Skills: Off-road rally, self-repair and modification.

Note: Does not occupy a summoning slot.

Note: The car is just the shell; the monster is the real body.

Extraterrestrial life: The original monster is not a native life form, is no longer within the Three Realms, and has transcended the Five Elements.

Parasitic machinery: It can live parasitically in machinery, especially automobiles.

Off-road rally: It excels in long-distance off-road rallies, is fast, and can adapt to harsh terrain.

Self-repair and modification: If the vehicle's body breaks, it's okay. The monster itself will repair and modify the vehicle, provided there are enough spare parts available.

Good heavens, Zhao Hao now has cranes in the sky, cars on the ground, and can even ride a donkey—he's got three mounts!

Although the Monster Off-Road Vehicle isn't very powerful unless you drive it into or run it over, it doesn't take up a summoning slot, right? It's free!

Besides, it is a 4-star Iron-tier weapon, so it still has some capabilities.

In Liberty City, you can't just ride your own donkey around the streets; it's not like you're some kind of high-speed racer in the West.

Before, Zhao Hao could only drive a motorcycle in the city, but now he has a four-wheeled vehicle.

Zhao Hao immediately took Elena for a drive...

February 16th is the Lunar New Year, and for the East Asian region, this day marks the beginning of a new year.

That's right, February is packed with holidays, making it an incredibly happy month!

[Awkward Dance]

Black Iron 4-Star Function Card

Use: Engage the other person in an awkward dance, leaving them embarrassed and bewildered. They will break free of the awkward state once attacked.

Cooldown time: 10 days.

Note: Remember, as long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who will be embarrassed.

This card is practically identical to the "Is this melon guaranteed to be ripe?" question!

When you encounter an enemy, the first thing to ask is, "Is this melon guaranteed to be ripe?"

Then, when the opponent can't make a move, you go in and deliver a fatal blow!

If the opponent is too strong and doesn't die, quickly give them a jump!

Wait until the other person is stunned, then strike again unexpectedly!

If you throw out the soap before killing him and then stab him in the butt, he'll be dead for sure!

Hahaha...

Another incident occurred in February that might go unnoticed by ordinary people, but it was no small matter for those in the financial industry.

The Hunt brothers, financial tycoons, bought up silver on a large scale in an attempt to monopolize the silver market.

For those three days, the price of silver fluctuated wildly, sometimes doubling in an hour or two, sometimes dropping by more than 70% in a single morning.

In just those few days, countless people who had leveraged their investments to gamble were wiped out.

This even led to an extraordinary incident: a silver speculator suffered a margin call and went completely bankrupt, plummeting from the sky to the ground in just six hours. That very night, he mutated, transforming into a being composed of a mass of silvery liquid.

This thing can squeeze into any crack or crevice, and its method of killing is quite unique—it burrows into the human body and causes destruction…

Because several traders and two big names in the financial world were killed, the Secret Service also dispatched a large number of people. Three teams of black-clad agents, equipped with traps and equipment, completely sealed off a building on Wall Street. After eight hours and four or five fierce battles, they finally made the arrests.

The group of mad scientists in the Mysterious Bureau's R&D department are already itching to study it. They say the liquid metal project is just around the corner!

Zhao Hao did not participate in the operation. He disliked participating in missions with too many people, fearing that his intelligence would be leaked and that he would be remembered by those with ulterior motives.

He went on to another mission, alone, with his identification, and completed it in just over an hour.

How wonderful it would be to make things so easy!

Zhao Hao handed an antique pistol to the storage department, provided the relevant documents, and left.

The containment staff glanced at the file, "The Unlucky Pistol with perfect accuracy?"

This gun was very famous eighty years ago. It had gold trim and was the sidearm of a renowned sharpshooter. It is said that the sharpshooter loved it so much that he wanted it buried with him after his death.

That sharpshooter's marksmanship was divine; so divine that even with his back turned and firing through a mirror, he could sever the fingers of an enemy fifty meters away.

But in the end, he still died, killed by his own beloved gun. It is said that he fell and the gun accidentally discharged, shooting himself.

This rather legendary gun then disappeared without a trace until recently, when it reappeared at an auction and was bought.

After getting the gun, the man's marksmanship improved dramatically, hitting the bullseye every time. However, on the third day, the pistol accidentally discharged, killing him.

The gun ended up in the hands of the victim's friend, who became a crack shot. However, when his son was testing the gun, the bullet hit the target but ricocheted, killing his father...

Even more outrageous, when his son was being questioned at the police station, a policeman shot him dead with the evidence pistol.

But the gun was empty at the time!

Zhao Hao is just going to retrieve this gun.

That's right. This gun has become a cursed object; once you get your hands on it, you'll hit the bullseye every time, but you'll inevitably die by its hand.

I wonder what will happen to that policeman now that the gun has been sealed up by the storage department?

As Zhao Hao emerged from the storage facility, he saw Sylvia. She and a team of black-clad agents had just sealed away a mysterious artifact.

This thing has a low rating and low risk. It's a "baseball glove that guarantees you can catch flying objects with your bare hands."

It is said that the original owner caught a bullet from a robber with his bare hands while wearing this baseball bat!

There are truly amazing things!

Chapter 259 Seven Little Lambs~

Things calmed down a bit after the Spring Festival, not because there were fewer accidents, but because people began to try to adapt.

After all, life is like that; if you can't resist it, you can only learn to accept it.

But on the last day of the month, Zhao Hao suddenly received a call from Sylvia, "Zhao Hao, hurry! Go save Nanaya Saki!"

Although the paranormal observation group still has two or three gatherings every month, these turbulent times have made it difficult to get everyone together for a long time.

This time you're missing, next time I'll be missing, and the time after that he'll be missing... That's life, it's more about being apart than together.

The Bureau of Mysteries was extremely busy, and everyone had their own things to do, so it was inevitable that some were closer to the bureau than others.

Zhao Hao, Fatty, and Gou Quan were naturally the closest to each other, though Zhao Hao got along well with everyone else as well. After all, the group was formed because of his efforts in connecting the group.

Normally, Nanaya Saki is very low-key and doesn't get involved in the affairs of the Free City world much. The person she usually contacts the most is Sylvia, who is also a girl.

However, this morning, the two had arranged to go shopping at the mall, but Nanayasaki didn't show up.

Nanaya Saki is very punctual and never stands someone up; she's a person of her word. So Sylvia was very worried and went to the international student dormitory to look for her, only to find that something had happened.

It's clear that things happened suddenly, and Nanaya Saki could only leave a hasty note. It didn't say much...

"Something marks me, like a ghostly realm," that's all.

When Zhao Hao and the others arrived, everyone gathered around the note, unsure of what to do.

Sylvia has already used her abilities to draw several pictures, but everyone is even more confused after seeing them. What exactly happened?

The first painting is a cross-section of a luxurious house. Outside the door is a wolf dressed in clothes, and inside are seven lambs. Some of the lambs are at the door, as if they are talking to the wolf through the door.

The second painting depicts Nanaya Saki's dormitory, where she is suddenly enveloped by a surge of spiritual energy, unable to break free. She can only hastily scribble a note before being "absorbed."

The desk lamp on the desk in the picture is still on, so it must be nighttime. The lamp has already burned out, meaning it must have been on all night.

The third painting depicts Nanaya Saki and several others in a large mansion...

Gou Quan moved closer to the third painting, looking at it from left to right, flipping it over and over. The fat man grew annoyed, "Quan'er, what are you doing? Is it normal to flip it over to look at something?"

Gou Quan handed the painting to Fatty. "Fatty, look, isn't this Brother Wali?" He pointed to a figure about half the size of a finger in the far corner of the painting.

"Huh?" The fat man quickly took it, looked at it several times, and handed it to Zhao Hao, who was craning his neck to look. "It's too small, I can't see it clearly!"

Zhao Hao stared for a long time. "Short, thick waist, and looks like he has a big beard. He looks like him! He really does! He's at least a dwarf!"

Zhao Hao quickly picked up his phone and called Carrie, the witch, "Hey? Carrie, hurry up and check if Brother WALL-E is home? Something might have happened to him!"

Less than ten minutes later, Carrie called back, "WALL-E isn't home. He seemed to have left in a hurry, leaving the half-finished iron on the anvil..."

"Damn it! We lost two at once!"

The group began to discuss what kind of eerie realm this was, and how these two people had been marked by it. There had to be a reason!

At this point, Zhao Hao had a general idea, but it was just his guess and he couldn't prove it at all. Besides, there was no point in saying it, so he didn't speak.

The crowd waited there in vain, unsure of what the outcome would be. Because in some eerie realms, once a person is gone, not even a trace remains.

Fortunately, Sylvia's abilities at least allowed her to detect the survival status of Nanaya Saki and Wally.

She would draw a picture every two or three hours to determine whether the two were alive or dead.

After looking at several paintings, everyone was able to confirm that there were five other people with Wally and Nanayasaki.

Zhao Hao even spotted a familiar face – the necromancer Sandru!

He's the silent young man who did a mission with me at the Grayway West Base at the end of last year; he's incredibly ruthless.

I didn't expect him to be there too.

Several of the paintings depict battle scenes. Of the seven people, WALL-E, Nanaya Saki, and Sandro are all superhumans, while the rest are ordinary people. Their enemy appears to be a tall, eerie werewolf!

But what kind of werewolf could be a match for Wall-E, a bronze-level player? The werewolf chieftain?

……

Suddenly, with a "thump," everyone woke up and turned around to find Nanaya Saki sitting in the chair in front of the desk.

"came back?"

"Are you okay?"

Everyone quickly gathered around. Nanaya Saki had sustained some minor injuries and looked a bit tired and disheveled.
