Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

Ji Yin greeted while opening the curtains to let the warm sunlight into the room.

Shen Qiyin woke up leisurely, raised her hands and stretched lazily, and responded gently: "Not bad."

"I see you're in good spirits. It must be because Mr. and Mrs. came to visit, right?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen them for a long time. I miss them."

"Then let's go downstairs quickly after we finish washing up. Madam got up early and made breakfast for you herself."

"Okay, thank you."

Ji Yin blinked, helped Shen Qinyin put on her long skirt, and carried her to the wheelchair.

Ten minutes later, Shen Qinyin arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the villa with the help of Ji Yin.

In addition to the pleasant floral scent, the air was filled with the smell of butter pudding and honey oatmeal.

Shen Qiyin followed the fragrance and looked towards the dining area. Three sets of bowls and plates and a fragrant breakfast were already set on the table.

"Little lazy boy, you're still asleep now? Come and have breakfast~"

A well-maintained and beautiful woman came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of French cream soup. When she saw Shen Qinyin, she immediately smiled gently.

Shen Qiyin also smiled back: "Good morning, Mom."

"Good morning, how did you sleep last night?"

"I'm fine. Where's Dad?"

"Hey, there's a phone call over there."

The woman pointed toward the French windows in the hall and raised her voice, "Husband, hurry up and have breakfast! Is there any work more important than having breakfast with my daughter?"

"I'm coming, don't rush me."

The middle-aged man with glasses quickly hung up the phone, came to the dining table and sat down, looking at Shen Qiyin with a smile: "Daughter, the weather is nice today. Dad will take you for a walk on the beach later, how about it?"

"Okay, thank you dad."

"Haha, why are you still so polite to dad?"

My father laughed heartily and reached for the cookies on the dining table.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, his mother gently hit him with her chopsticks and scolded him, "You are a grown man, but you still don't change your bad habit of not washing your hands before meals."

"Oh, look, I'm not answering the phone. I forgot, haha!"

"What are you laughing at? You must pay attention to hygiene when eating!"

"Yes, yes, my wife is right!"

Although he was apologizing, his father did not show any intention of getting up to wash his hands. Instead, he picked up the cutlery and started eating. His mother could only scold him angrily.

Looking at the warm and happy daily life in front of her, Shen Qinyin couldn't help but smile.

The family ate breakfast happily. The parents told Shen Qiyin many interesting things and made various travel plans with her.

The atmosphere is warm and wonderful, and the sense of happiness seems to be about to materialize at this moment.

Suddenly, the parents' eating stopped at the same time.

Then, they all turned their eyes to Shen Qinyin.

The mother asked with a smile on her face: "Girl, why don't you eat?"

The father eagerly urged, "Yes, girl, although your mother hasn't cooked for a long time, her cooking skills are impeccable. She can cook dishes from all over the world. Come and eat~"

Shen Qinyin didn't say anything. She kept smiling, picked up the spoon, scooped a small piece of the pudding in front of her, and then put it into her mouth with a calm expression.

The delicate, smooth and slightly elastic pudding blooms on the tip of your tongue, and the sweet taste slowly spreads.

It has a normal butter pudding flavor, just like the ones sold in cake shops.

However, after chewing it for a few times, the originally delicate pudding began to become sandy and sticky, and the sweetness became slightly fishy.

Shen Qiyin looked at her parents' expectant faces, smiled faintly and said in a calm tone, "It's delicious."

The parents were immediately delighted and nodded repeatedly: "Great, as long as you like them, eat them all~"

"..."

Shen Qiyin did not respond, but kept looking at her parents with a calm gaze.

The mother held the bread in her left hand and held the knife in her right hand. She cut off her fingers and the black, sticky bread along the knuckles of her palm.

Her face began to fester as if it had been splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid. The corroded skin slowly fell off, piece by piece, into the plate. The scarlet flesh turned black and rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The father picked up the milk, and with a "plop", the bloodshot eyeball of his right eye fell into the cup.

But he didn't mind at all and drank it in one gulp. The red milk flowed down his mouth to his throat, staining a large area of ​​his clothes red.

And Ji Yin's body, along with her parents at the table, began to deform and break, as if it was forcibly crushed by something and then blended together, with its smelly internal organs bursting through the skin and flesh and exposed.

"Why, you don't want to eat anymore?"

The mother's voice came again, and everyone stared at Shen Qinyin with their black holes that looked like there were no eyes at all.

Shen Qiyin shook her head, a trace of sadness appeared in her cold eyes, and she opened her thin lips slightly: "I'm sorry, father, mother, and Ji Yin..."

"You are already dead."

"After being transformed into a 'strange beast' by the mist, I killed it with my own hands."

"Although we haven't been together for a long time, I am very grateful to you."

Shen Qiyin raised her right hand and aimed the Exorcist Holy Spear at the "mother" who was closest to her.

"So, I'm willing to give you another ride."

The moment the last word fell, Shen Qiyin pulled the trigger without hesitation!

Chapter 9: Physical Coin Explosion~

"Om!!"

After a moment of confusion and dizziness as if the world was out of balance, Shen Qinyin opened her eyes again.

In front of him was the upgraded metal security door of his bedroom.

She held the exorcist's holy spear in her right hand, and her left hand was on the door handle, as if she was about to turn the handle and open the door in the next second.

Seeing this scene, Shen Qinyin frowned and quickly maneuvered the wheelchair back, staring at the door intently.

She could feel that the thing outside the door seemed to be disappearing quickly.

About half a minute later, the indescribable feeling of oppression gradually subsided, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced at the magazine of the Holy Exorcist Spear, where six bullets were embedded intact.

This is enough to prove that the scene of "shooting" just now and those experiences were all "hallucinations."

Outside the window, there was still a thick, light blue fog under the moonlight.

The time on the phone screen was three in the morning, and there were still about three hours until sunrise.

Thanks to having just escaped from the "hallucination", Shen Qinyin is now very energetic.

She returned to the table, opened her notebook, picked up her pen, and began to write:

[This mysterious "existence" can hijack the broadcast channel and tamper with the original information]

[Or perhaps, it doesn't tamper with the information, but changes the listener's perception, causing the listener to hear incorrect information]

[When the listener receives its information to a certain extent, it can locate the listener's specific location and appear near the other party out of thin air]

Afterwards, it will cause the listener to fall into a "hallucination"-like state.

If the listener can wake up from the "hallucination", it will "leave (?)" and will not be able to cause further harm to the listener...

After recording this, Shen Qiyin thought for a moment and wrote down three more words:

【The Tamperer】

This was the name she had given to the thing on the spur of the moment. At present, she was not sure whether it was a strange beast or an "entity", nor was she sure whether it had left or been "killed".

However, her intuition told her that the voice tamperer should be a kind of "entity".

In addition, Shen Qiyin named the one in the basement "Lurker".

That thing was disguised as a door, and usually it was embedded in the wall like a real door, motionless. It would only release malicious intent when a creature approached.

So it is quite appropriate to name it "lurking".

Its daybreak.

As the first ray of sunlight appeared from the top of the mountain, the fog covering the earth began to dissipate rapidly.

Shen Qinyin glanced at the dawn sky of the skyline and pinched her cheeks with her fingers.

It hurts.

Although the night was not peaceful, fortunately there was no danger.

She calmed herself down and began to plan her itinerary for the day.

Compared to yesterday, there is not only no less to do today, but more to do.

In addition to getting a water source, the most important thing Shen Qiyin needs to do is to find out how to obtain the Desire Stone.

As long as she could get the Desire Stone, all her current problems of lack of security, electricity, and contact with the outside world would be solved.

The fog that animates the dead and changes cognition only appears at night. During the day when there is sunlight, humans can move freely.

Although the shelter she heard on the radio last night was said to be made up by a "tamperer", Shen Qiyin believed that shelters built by humans should exist.

Logically speaking, it would be difficult for human society to enter the end of the world all of a sudden unless it suddenly collapses overnight.

Therefore, this means that they must have the means to resist the monsters and "entities" accordingly.

If we can collect this information, it will definitely be of great benefit to our future survival.

Shen Qinyin opened a can of fruit. The yellow peaches and juice inside temporarily relieved her hunger and replenished some water.

Then she went to the door, unlocked it, and opened it.

There was a strange smell in the corridor outside the door. It couldn't be said to be smelly, but it was definitely not pleasant.

Near the door, where the sun shines, there's some fine dust floating around that looks like broken glass gravel.

Shen Qinyin noticed that these "glass gravels" seemed to be attracted by something and were floating and circling in a regular pattern.

She bit her lip, bent down with effort, wiped away the dust on the floor, and picked up a piece that looked like a broken gem.

"what is this?"

As soon as this question came to mind, a line of text immediately appeared in the notebook in my mind:

[Obtain "Fear Core Fragment"]

[Value: 30]

[Should we convert it into Desire Stone for storage?]

Shen Qinyin was stunned for a moment when she saw this line of text, and then her heart started beating wildly with excitement!

So that’s it… So that’s it!

It seems that the thing that attacked me last night was not a strange beast, but "FEAR"! It was an "entity"!

The "core fragments of fear" should be the "trophies" left behind after they were "dispersed".

The notebook can transform the fragments dropped by the "entity" into desire stones. In other words, as long as the "entity" is dispelled, desire stones can be obtained continuously?

Oh, it seems the nature of the game has changed...

Shen Qinyin took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

Now is not the time to be happy, there are still many problems that need to be solved urgently.

Although 30 desire stones were not many, they solved her urgent problem.

After yesterday's strengthening, I only had 3 desire stones left, and I was hesitant to do anything. Now I have 33 desire stones at once, so I can be a little more generous next time.

First of all, I have to get water. The water provided by the canned fruits I have now can only sustain me for two or three days at most.

The "lurker" is lurking in the basement, so she can't go down there for the time being. Even if she gets water in the basement, she won't be able to stay there for long.
