[Special Items]: One-star concept gift card - Meditation, one-star concept gift card - Skill, three-star physical gift card - Blue Black Key

"Meditation? Techniques? Blue Black Key? What abilities does it have? Are they the same as in the game?"

Zhang Luo looked at the meditation among the special props and asked with some confusion.

【Please click on the gift set to view it yourself. 】

Zhang Luo followed the instructions of the data stream and tapped the panel in front of him where the gift card was displayed.

The moment he touched the card, a stream of data quickly flooded into Zhang Luo's mind.

One-Star Concept Gift Card - Meditation: Equip this card and gain the low-level Meditation skill. Additional Ability 1: Meditation speed increased. Additional Ability 2: Magic power increased by 5%.

One-Star Concept Gift Card - Skills: Equip this card to gain low-level skills. Additional Ability 1: Gain a certain amount of experience when using tools.

Samsung physical gift card - Blue Black Key: has strong damage to entities and can be taken out and used.

"It looks useful."

Zhang Luo's expression relaxed. Although the level was low, it was still a very good gift card as a basic. Meditation could increase his magic power, and the Blue Black Key could be used as a weapon. Skills could be used to use the Blue Black Key. However, the monsters in Death Note were all hollows, and it was unknown how much effect the Blue Black Key could have on such things.

Soon, a month passed.

In the hospital ward, Zhang Luo was lying idly on the bed. There were flowers and fruits on the bedside table next to him. They were placed there by his cheap cousin.

After the operation some time ago, Zhang Luo used the old excuse of amnesia to get all the information he wanted.

The Chinese name of this body of mine is Zhang Luo, and the Japanese name is Qin Luo. I am 15 years old now. My only relatives are my distant cousin Mrs. Arisawa who is raising me, and my cousin, her daughter, Ryuki Arisawa, who plays a supporting role in Bleach.

My father's side was made up of ordinary Chinese people, and they were all wiped out.

My mother's side is Japanese, but seems to have some background.

My aunt said my mother's ancestors were a branch of the lineage of five hundred boys and girls brought by Xu Fu during his voyage eastward. Generations of them have been surnamed Qin, a symbol of remembrance of their homeland. The family also carries on a tradition of Yin-Yang magic, said to be a technique from the ancient Qin dynasty, distinct from the Yin-Yang magic developed in Japan today. Before marrying in China, she opened an office in the neighboring city of Mika, specializing in handling paranormal cases. It was well-known in several nearby cities, but as far as Mrs. Youze knows, my mother's Yin-Yang skills weren't very good, and it's unclear how she became so famous.

Thinking of this, Zhang Luo's face became strange, and he took out a piece of golden iron sheet from the pocket of his hospital uniform. There were some strange words engraved on it.

This was given to Zhang Luo by Mrs. Youze after he woke up, saying it was his mother's relic.

However, when Zhang Luo experimentally put this thing into the special prop bar on the system panel to try whether other things could be placed in the special prop bar, he found that the special prop bar indeed could not hold ordinary things, but this golden iron sheet could be placed in it.

Three-Star Gift Card - Giant Spirit Illusion (Incomplete): A fragment of Xu Fu's Yin-Yang magic, used to practice and amplify low-level illusions. Additional Ability 1: Strengthens illusion effects.

Zhang Luo was completely bewildered at the time, as he clearly remembered that the Giant Spirit Illusion was one of the unique skills of Xu Fu, the Lord of the Yin-Yang School in Qin's Moon. Could this world, long ago, be the world of Qin's Moon?

However, Zhang Luo also knew how his adopted mother became so famous. She probably did it by using illusions to deceive people.

In addition, through this month's meditation, Zhang Luo deeply understood one thing: a one-star gift dress is a one-star gift dress. You can't think that the gift dress is good just because the introduction looks good.

For a month, or thirty days, Zhang Luo lay in bed to rest every day. That is to say, during these thirty days, 720 hours, 43200 minutes, and 2592000 seconds, Zhang Luo was meditating all the time. However, until today, the magic power in his body may not be able to support Zhang Luo to release ten of the most common and lowest-level small magic bullets, the power of which can at most make a mark on the wall, not even a hole.

Although there is no classic text and it is just a rough application of my own research, it shouldn't be so miserable.

However, the skill can only prevent yourself from getting hurt when using the Blue Black Key.

If the Giant Spirit Illusion (Incomplete) is equipped, relying on the bonus of the equipment card, these magic powers can at most create an illusion that can last for half an hour to confuse ordinary people, and it can also be accompanied by an aura of oppression. However, when the Giant Spirit Illusion (Incomplete) is not equipped, Zhang Luo, who has lost the bonus of the equipment, can only create an illusion that lasts for five minutes at most with his own magic power and illusion attainments, which will disappear as soon as it is destroyed.

Chapter 3 A Terrible World

"Good morning, Luo."

"Aluo, good morning."

"Brother Luo, good morning."

At this time, the door of the ward was opened, and Arisawa Ryuki walked in from outside, followed by a yellow-haired boy and a loli with a baby face and big breasts. They were Ichigo Kurosaki and Orihime Inoue.

Zhang Luo smiled and responded to the three of them: "Longgui, Ichigo, Orihime, good morning."

"Luo Ge, the doctor has already said that you can be discharged today. No, that's not right. You can be discharged right away. Mom is downstairs processing the paperwork now and will come to notify us soon."

Youze Longgui sat directly on Zhang Luo's bed, speaking in a very affectionate tone. This was entirely the result of Zhang Luo's efforts in the past half month. At the beginning, because Mrs. Youze spent too much time, energy and money on Zhang Luo, she cared less about Youze Longgui and automatically ignored Youze Longgui's dissatisfaction, which led to Youze Longgui having a very bad feeling towards Zhang Luo, an outsider who took away his mother's care. However, Zhang Luo had lived two lives after all. He had lived for more than 20 years in his previous life and had been in society for three or four years. How could he not see Youze Longgui's dissatisfaction, and how could he not solve this problem?

It had only taken Zhang Luo ten days to successfully change Arisawa Ryuki's opinion of him. However, this was also because Arisawa Ryuki wasn't a bad person to begin with, and her dislike for Zhang Luo was just a temporary dissatisfaction. Even if Zhang Luo didn't do anything, her straightforward personality would quickly forget these insignificant dislikes.

Zhang Luo had a good impression of You Ze Longgui when he first saw Death God, so he attacked before You Ze Longgui and established a good relationship with You Ze Longgui.

After their relationship became better, Arisawa Ryuki would often bring some of her friends to meet Zhang Luo, namely Kurosaki Ichigo and Inoue Orihime.

"That's great! I can finally be discharged from the hospital. This month has made me so lazy." Zhang Luo said happily.

"By the way, Luo, I just heard Aunt Arisawa say that you will have to go to our school for classes tomorrow morning." Ichigo Kurosaki said.

"Going to class?" Zhang Luo's face became a little strange. He had been away from school for more than three years, and he didn't expect to go back to school to study again.

"Yes, I heard from Aunt Youze that Brother Luo is only 15 years old this year, a little older than me and Long Gui, but he had just finished the second grade of junior high school in China, so he can just go to our school." Inoue Orihime said.

"It just so happens that we've only been in school for a little over a month, and the workload isn't heavy. You should be able to catch up quickly," said Ichigo Kurosaki.

"Uh..." Zhang Luo didn't know what to say for a moment. All the junior high school and high school knowledge he learned in his early years was lost when he left the college entrance examination hall. Now he was going to junior high school, and it was a Japanese junior high school. Isn't it just uncomfortable?

"I see." After thinking about it, Zhang Luo agreed. After all, he is only 15 years old and has a cousin to take care of him. It is impossible for him not to go to school. However, he heard that the school courses in Japan are very easy. He wondered if it was true.

Before Zhang Luo, Arisawa Ryuki, Kurosaki Ichigo, and Inoue Orihime could chat for a few words, Mrs. Arisawa came in with a bag of clothes and brought Zhang Luo good news.

"Xiao Luo, go change your clothes and you can be discharged from the hospital."

"Okay, aunt."

Zhang Luo picked up his clothes and quickly went into the bathroom. He did not rush to change his clothes, but stood in front of the mirror to observe the appearance of his body.

Well, it seems that this body has good genes. He can be said to be a relatively handsome boy, and his figure seems to be a little taller than Kurosaki Ichigo.

After putting on his clothes, Zhang Luo left the bathroom and went to Youze's house with Mrs. Youze and the others.

In Youze's house, in Zhang Luo's room, Zhang Luo sat in front of the computer, turned on the computer, and checked the basic situation of this world.

From five thousand years ago until the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the history of this world was similar to that of the original world. History began to change on August 14, 1900, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing. Suddenly, hundreds of assassins appeared. They first assassinated the Qing royal family, and then, under the leadership of a martial arts master named Zhen Yuanzi, a martial arts master named Ma Qianjun, and a martial arts master named Tang Long, they spent two hours killing half of the Eight-Nation Alliance's army.

Then, under the noses of several leaders of the Eight-Nation Alliance, Zhen Yuanzi used a special move called the Honglan Yanpao, burning the remaining one-third of the Eight-Nation Alliance's army to ashes. Ma Qianjun used a special move called the Kongkong Collapse Fist, which sent out a powerful impact and blasted another one-third of the army into pieces. The Bajiquan master named Tang Long used a punch, and the shock wave sent out killed the last one-third of the army.

Afterwards, these three martial arts masters held a meeting with the leaders of the Eight-Nation Alliance. No one knew what they talked about in detail, but later the leaders of the Eight-Nation Alliance all withdrew from the Celestial Empire and never launched a war against the Celestial Empire again. Of course, there were often small actions in private, but no large-scale war occurred.

After that, the development of the Celestial Empire was similar to its original trend. Although there were no invaders, the extinction of the Qing royal family also made local forces want to fight for hegemony. After the period of the Republic of China, Mao announced the establishment of the Celestial Empire on October 1, 1945, four years earlier than before.

However, although these messages were clearly stored in the computer, no one except those who knew the truth would believe them. They all thought they were just exaggerated stories. After all, they were too exaggerated. Moreover, although there were martial arts masters in this world, there had never been any existence that surpassed human limits. If Zhang Luo had not seen the familiar surname and familiar skills, he would not have believed it.

And yesterday's news - Kudo Shinichi, the Sherlock Holmes of Japan's Heisei era, the savior of the police...

Furthermore, this world experiences a unique phenomenon that frequently brings disaster. Spacequakes are a general term for this phenomenon. Buildings and ground infrastructure at the center of the explosion are completely obliterated, like a volcanic crater, and the surrounding area is also damaged by the explosion. The first such event occurred 30 years ago, resulting in nearly 150 million casualties and becoming known as the "Great Eurasian Air Strike." Since then, this phenomenon has recurred frequently around the world.

"Hiss..." Looking at the information displayed on the computer, Zhang Luo couldn't help but feel a toothache and took a breath. Date a Live, Detective Conan, The King of Fighters, Kenichi, the strongest disciple in history, Death, it's a miracle that this world has not been destroyed.

Not to mention Kenichi, the strongest disciple in Detective Conan, the strongest characters are the Elder, whose punches rival those of a typhoon, and Niten Yama, whose strength rivals that of a captain-level Shinigami. The other masters, no matter how strong they are, can never surpass a captain; at best, they're equivalent to a Shinigami capable of Shikai (Shikai), the equivalent of a chief officer or vice-captain. Furthermore, the characters in these plots are mostly human, unlike the non-humans in the other three.

As for Bleach, King of Fighters, and Date a Live, most of the powerful characters there can no longer be considered human. Fully Fused Hogyoku Aizen, Yhwach, Hogyoku Aizen, Captain-General, Saisei, and Normal Aizen—each of them capable of destroying the world with a moment's notice—are among the top Gold cards, even among Heroic Spirits. Fully Fused Hogyoku Aizen might even be among the strongest Gold cards. Orochi, the Will of the Earth, the Soul King who created Soul Society, and Ash, the Blood Spiral Madman, arguably the strongest character in King of Fighters, are likely on par with the likes of Awakened One, Demon King, Demonic Bodhisattva, and Tiamat, the out-of-group cheaters. Captain-level Shinigami and top-tier fighters like Ignis, Goenitz, Mukai, and Fuki are likely at the level of Silver and Bronze cards. Vice-captain-level Shinigami and Spirits, and top-tier fighters, should have abilities equal to, or even rival, Iron cards.

The most important thing is that this world is still in 1993, but computers and other electronic devices have become commonplace. Even the Arisawa family, though considered well-off but definitely not wealthy, already has computers and various electronic devices. Japan's land area has also expanded several times, and is surrounded by numerous islands. This is probably due to the integration of so many anime, resulting in the addition of many cities.

In addition, it has been confirmed that there is no Dongmu City in Japan in this world.

Chapter 4 Ghoul

After lunch, Mrs. Youze washed the dishes and went to take a nap. After Youze Longgui and Zhang Luo rested for a while, Youze Longgui suddenly said to Zhang Luo: "Brother Luo, let me take you out for a walk."

"Okay, I'm not familiar with Karakura Town yet. Longgui, please take me to familiarize myself with the route so that I don't get lost when I'm alone." Zhang Luo nodded and stood up from the sofa.

After the two left home, they began to walk along the sidewalk. As they walked, Arisawa Ryuki introduced various shops and buildings to Zhang Luo. Soon the two passed by Kurosaki Ichigo's house. After getting to know Kurosaki Ichigo's father, the funny and powerful captain-level Death God Kurosaki Isshin, and his two sisters, another Kurosaki Ichigo joined the shopping group. Then when they passed by Inoue Orihime's house, she heard that she wanted to take Zhang Luo to familiarize herself with the situation in Karakura Town, so Orihime also joined the team.

After an afternoon of wandering, the sky gradually darkened, and a bright moon appeared in the sky, which could only be seen in this two-dimensional world. In the real world, the moon could no longer be seen in the severely polluted city.

Ichigo Kurosaki and Orihime Inoue have already returned home, and Zhang Luo and Ryuki Arisawa have also started to return to the Arisawa family.

However, an accident happened. When passing a small alley, Zhang Luo suddenly stopped and took a deep breath. A not-so-obvious strange smell was inhaled into his nose. Along with this strange smell, a sense of danger came from the alley next to him.

This was something Zhang Luo was able to discover only after half a month of meditation, otherwise he would not have discovered it at all.

And why does this smell like blood?

"Brother Luo, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Luo just paused slightly, and Arisawa Ryuki, who was walking hand in hand with Zhang Luo, immediately noticed it.

"No, it's nothing, let's go."

Zhang Luo pulled Arisawa Ryuki and was about to leave. He had roughly understood the situation inside. If it was just an ordinary crime and murder, he would not be able to feel the danger with his current ability. Then there was only one possibility left, that the specialty of Karakura Town, Xu, was killing people and taking souls inside.

"Wait," Arisawa Ryuki stood still. Zhang Luo couldn't pull her because of the physical strength gained from years of karate training. He turned his gaze to the depths of the dim alley next to him. "I feel something strange over there, like there's something there."

Arisawa Ryuki said this and took a few steps towards the alley.

"Wait, there is danger inside." Zhang Luo hurriedly grabbed Youze Longgui, lowered his voice and spoke.

"Danger?" Arisawa Ryuki stopped and turned to look at Zhang Luo, asking doubtfully, "What danger? There are very few cases in Karakura Town."

"You should know that my mother is a powerful exorcist. I've also learned some magic and can sense the presence of dangerous non-humans inside." Zhang Luo made up an excuse, his face becoming more serious as his sense of crisis grew stronger. The creatures inside might have discovered him. "Besides, if we go in now, we should be able to see corpses."

"What?" An unconcealable fear appeared on Arisawa Longgui's face. He involuntarily retreated behind Zhang Luo, tightly grasping Zhang Luo's clothes, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Luo, don't scare me."

Although she had learned karate for several years and was not afraid of ordinary criminals, Ryuki Arisawa was still afraid of monsters and demons because she was born in Japan, where ghost stories were prevalent and there was the story of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. After all, she was still young, and when she went to high school, she would not believe in these things.

"Don't be afraid. Although I haven't learned many spells yet, I can still deal with one or two ordinary monsters without any problem." Zhang Luo said casually, but his heart was heavy. If he didn't transform, he would only be able to rely on the low-level magic bullets that could be fired less than ten times, the Blue Black Key, and the low-level illusion. He didn't know if he could kill that thing.

"You wait here for me. I'll go in and get rid of that monster and come out soon. It will be quick." Zhang Luo said as he took out the Black Key of Blue.

Although Arisawa Ryuki was a little surprised at where Zhang Luo got the weapon from, after all, no matter how he looked at it, there was no place to store such a large thing, but he did not bother to ask too many questions. Instead, he held Zhang Luo tightly and said in panic, "Don't go in. Let's leave quickly before that monster comes out."

Although Zhang Luo said it very easily, You Ze Longgui did not have any confidence in Zhang Luo. After all, Zhang Luo looked harmless and his strength was not even as strong as his own, which was really not convincing.

"We can't leave. We've been discovered." Zhang Luo shook his head with a wry smile. If not for this, he would have taken Youze Longgui away long ago, and after sending Longgui back, he would transform into a heroic spirit to kill that thing.

"Long Gui, just wait for me outside. Don't come in no matter what. I will be back soon." Zhang Luo turned around and put his hands on Youze Long Gui's shoulders, staring into her eyes and said seriously. If he couldn't defeat the thing inside by then, and Long Gui ran in when he transformed, that would be bad.

Arisawa Ryuki stared at Zhang Luo, who was only a few centimeters away, stunned by his serious expression. He didn't respond for a moment. Suddenly, she remembered a TV series she'd watched a few days ago. In the final episode, the male lead pressed the female lead's shoulder and said earnestly, "Wait for me at home. I'll be back soon." And then, the male lead died.

"Long Gui, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, even if I can't defeat the monsters inside, I have the ability to protect myself."

Zhang Luo saw You Ze Long Gui remained silent, and instead his expression became somewhat strange. Was he too nervous about encountering this non-human monster for the first time? Or was he worried that something might happen if he went in alone, and he didn't know what to do?

"I know, I know. Go in by yourself. Come out quickly. Don't be discharged this morning and then go back to the hospital again tonight. I'm telling you, if you don't come out within five minutes, I'm going to go in and look for you."

Arisawa Ryuki retracted his wandering thoughts, took a step back in panic, then pushed Zhang Luo away with force, and said with some impatience.

"Don't worry, I'll go in. You hide yourself and don't come in." Zhang Luo didn't care about Youze Longgui's bad attitude. After all, he was also concerned about him. After giving Youze Longgui serious instructions, he turned and walked into the alley.

You Ze Longgui, who was hiding outside, watched Zhang Luo walk step by step into the depths of the alley and soon disappear into the darkness. He was filled with worry and wanted to go in to help, but he knew that he could not help at all. If he went in, he would definitely be a hindrance.

Thinking of this, Arisawa Ryuki felt a sense of unwillingness from the bottom of her heart. She had been practicing karate since she was a child, and it had been ten years until now. Even two or three adults might not be her opponents, and Arisawa Ryuki had never encountered such a powerless situation.

The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, almost nauseating. Zhang Luo held his breath and began to slow down his pace. He moved cautiously towards the depths of the alley where the bloody smell came from. Soon, Zhang Luo saw a mutilated corpse and a humanoid alien crawling on the corpse and feasting on it. It kept tearing the muscles on the corpse and biting it with its mouth wide open. The bright red blood flowed from the corners of the alien's mouth to the ground.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Luo couldn't help but feel nauseous and had the urge to vomit. If he hadn't suppressed it, he would have vomited directly. A strong murderous intent rose in his heart. This disgusting monster must die just because he polluted his eyes.

Chapter 5 First Kill

As Zhang Luo approached, the alien seemed to sense Zhang Luo's presence and casually dropped the meat in his hand. He stood up from the ground, turned around and looked at Zhang Luo, grinning and saying, "I'm really lucky. I thought I would have to go out again, but I didn't expect the food to be delivered to my door. The meat looks so tender and delicate, it must be delicious."

"Ghouls! Aren't you supposed to be in Tokyo?"

Zhang Luo's eyes were determined, and he immediately discovered the identity of this alien from his blood-red eyes. He didn't expect that there were still Tokyo Ghouls in this world. The people of the island country have worked so hard, and they are still alive and well now.

"Oh? I didn't expect that someone in such a small place knows us. But it doesn't matter. You just need to let me eat you obediently." The zombie seemed a little surprised that Zhang Luo knew him, but he didn't care too much. For a zombie who was obsessed with appetite, nothing was more important than eating.

"Could it be that he couldn't make it in Tokyo, so he hid out? As for this small place, he's really an ignorant fellow. He dared to come here and mess around without even asking what Karakura Town is."

Facing the ghoul's malicious and twisted smile, Zhang Luo fought back unwilling to be outdone, not willing to weaken his momentum at all. After all, if it was an ordinary ghoul, relying on the Blue Black Key with powerful lethality to flesh and blood, even if it did not transform into a heroic spirit, its chances of winning would not be too small.

"You guy, I'm going to torture you severely and then eat you alive." The ghoul seemed to be hit in a sore spot. The smile disappeared from his face, replaced by a look of rage. The ghoul kicked the ground with his legs like a beast, and pounced on Zhang Luo like a beast hunting in the animal world.

Facing the rapidly approaching zombies, under the impact of some strong crisis, Zhang Luo's eyes fixed, and he fell into a semi-meditative state. His perception of the surroundings was greatly improved, and the zombies' rapid attack also became slower in Zhang Luo's eyes.

In an instant, Zhang Luo's hand, which was holding the Blue Black Key, suddenly stretched out and pierced the zombie's hands with great accuracy. Then he twisted it and completely separated its wrists. Then he moved his feet quickly, turned around and was behind the zombie. Before the zombie could react from the shock of having his hands cut off by a junior high school student, Zhang Luo stabbed the Blue Black Key from behind at the zombie's neck again.

However, things were not that easy. The ghoul reacted in time before Zhang Luo could chop off his head, and stretched out a knives from under his shoulder blades to block his neck. Another knives flew towards Zhang Luo, but were blocked by Zhang Luo's five magic bullets in an instant. The Blue Black Key barely pierced the knives that blocked the ghoul's neck, but it was unable to cut down further.

"It's Jiahe indeed."

Zhang Luo said as if it was not unexpected. The fact that he had easily avoided the zombie just now made Zhang Luo suspect that he was a heavy armor. After all, no matter how low-level the zombie was, only the heavy armor could allow him to avoid his attack.

"You can actually cut off my Kakuzu! Are you also an investigator? Only the investigator's Quinque weapon can hurt our Kakuzu." The ghoul turned around and faced Zhang Luo vigilantly, saying in shock. He didn't expect to meet an investigator in such a small place, and he was so small.

"That just shows that you are too ignorant."
