I'm drawing an action-packed anime within a depressing one!

"You've rebelled against the Heavenly Gang!"

"You actually reported me!"

Tian Xiaoxi felt a little guilty, but also a little frustrated.

what happened!

Why do they seem to have become He Zhou's fans?

Is the plot she created really that bad?

It was clearly full of climaxes!

Chapter 40 Shocking Part 1 (Please continue reading!)

Following everyone's discussion.

When I woke up at eight o'clock in the morning, I saw comments urging me to get up and draw.

The popularity score has finally reached 30 points.

"good."

It's 30 o'clock.

"You can use ten points to redeem now."

After glancing at the two abilities, "Sounding the Gong" and "Returning to the Nest," and recalling the discussion about the "Returning to the Nest" ability in the comments section, I still chose to upgrade "Returning to the Nest" with anticipation.

People can't be tense all the time.

If your home is relatively safe, you can relax a bit.

[Next Level: Homecoming - Tier 1]

[Upgrade Requirements: Character status must be at the "Passerby" level, and 10 popularity points are required]

[Upgrade?]

"Yes."

After confirmation, ten popularity points were deducted.

The popularity score, which had finally risen to 30, has dropped back to 20.

Upgrade successful!

【Returning Home - Level 1】

[Source: The background image of the bird mother from the first episode of "Calabash Brothers"]

[Effect: Allows the target to fall asleep peacefully for 0.5 seconds. The mother bird determines the location of the nest as the safest home for her chicks, regardless of its type. Additionally, it adds the special effect that the home, being a warm haven, provides a degree of protection.]

[Next Level: Homecoming - Stage Two]

Upgrade Requirement: 30 Popularity Points

...

These popularity points were well spent!

After the upgrade was successful, He Zhou could clearly feel that the whole room was quieter.

Normally, my alert ears could hear slight abnormal fluctuations in the air, but now it was completely quiet.

Compared to the previous speculation, this time we can see the difference directly.

Does it offer any level of protection?

"That's true."

"And this..."

He Zhou examined the homing ability more closely, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was simply a divine skill.

There's also a passive ability that's only at level one, yet the sleep duration is already half a second, and it seems to work on demons as well.

If it could be extended to three seconds, wouldn't that be defying the heavens?

Does the second tier require 30 popularity points?

It's not particularly high.

"what?"

The moment He Zhou upgraded the Homecoming feature, Jiang Dai sensed it. She turned off the stove, curiously circled the house, stared at it with her vertical pupils for a long time, and then relaxed completely.

"Safety!"

...

The meeting time is 9:00 AM.

By the time He Zhou got up and finished breakfast, it was almost time.

When they arrived at the destination, Wen Tingyu and Lu An were both there.

They were all standing at the entrance of the residential area.

With its enhanced hearing, it could hear the two talking from afar.

"Does normal registration require this many people?"

Didn't you hear me?

"what?"

"The sound of rain."

Lu An looked at the sky: "It's going to rain."

Wen Tingyu also looked at the sky: "I won't let my light get wet in the rain."

There was a mysterious atmosphere between the two, like they were talking past each other.

He Zhou's lips twitched as he listened.

Thinking about how many riddle-solving people were already around him, he couldn't help but turn to Jiang Dai with a pained expression: "You must never imitate other people's way of speaking again! Understand?"

It would be truly frightening if even kittens turned into riddle-solving characters.

"other people?"

Jiang Dai quickly shook her head: "The person is He Zhou, there is no one else!"

...

The weather remained gloomy. The gate of the community was originally in a European architectural style, but it looked dilapidated due to the peeling paint and lack of maintenance.

The four characters "Mingde Garden" are very eye-catching at the gate of the community. Wildflowers and weeds are planted haphazardly in the flower bed in the middle of the main road, and the street is full of potholes and puddles.

This year, there are two experimental classes and four regular classes in the first grade.

By the time He Zhou arrived, most of the people had already arrived.

They were all waiting there in twos and threes.

Among the three students in the experimental class, there was even the pineapple-headed guy I'd seen before.

When his gaze fell upon them, his expression showed some surprise, but he still greeted them.

"You're here too?"

When Pineapple Head saw that He Zhou hadn't brought anything, she was taken aback: "Aren't you bringing anything?"

"?"

"this."

He calmly took out a black human-shaped body bag, then, realizing he hadn't turned on the lights yet, put it back: "Oh, you're still in basic classes, you just need to wait to die, you don't need this."

unbelievable.

Do you bring your own body bag?

But He Zhou also understood why. The pure black body bag must have been treated and had a reassuring ability to allow a person to at least reclaim the energy from their cultivation pool before death and die more easily.

It can also reduce the burden on others when cleaning up and collecting corpses.

...

While pineapple head was harvesting, he casually mentioned it.

"Today's residents are probably not ordinary registered residents."

"I heard that it was ordinary people here who experienced unusual symptoms."

Seeing He Zhou's expression, which clearly indicated he hadn't received the message, he asked in surprise, "Didn't the school tell you?"

"No."

"So this is really sending you to your deaths?"

"..."

He Zhou didn't have time to think about anything else; he was just a little puzzled by the words "abnormal situation."

"Don't ordinary people not see that world?"

"If you can't see them, although a lot of negative emotions might cause demons to appear, the probability is still much lower than that of the night patrolmen."

How could it be an ordinary person experiencing an abnormality?

He Zhou could never have imagined it.

"Yes, that's correct. We should find out the specific reason later, but..."

Pineapple Head sighed: "Knowing so much is useless, just relax."

"At least I won't die too horribly."

After saying that, he went to the experimental class area, leaving He Zhou with a face full of black lines.

What the heck is "I won't die too horribly"?!

I don't want to die!

I'm not stupid!

If things get really bad, of course we should run!

...

"Is everyone here?"

The night patrol team consists of only six people.

Team leader Song Zhenyu looked very young, probably only recently graduated, and appeared to be in his early twenties. His light pool floated in mid-air, and was a bright white color.

However, he already possessed a very calm and composed aura.

Upon seeing He Zhou and his group, their gaze lingered on He Zhou for a moment before they glanced at the form in their hands: "Who is He Zhou?"

"I."

He Zhou took a step forward, and then Song Zhenyu pointed to the back of the line: "Your class should also go to the back."

"understood."

He led three people to the back of the line, and the group of about twenty people split into two groups to register.

The registration process is actually quite simple.

We just ask a few questions to assess the residents' mental state and overall condition to determine their current situation, and also to check how many households are still in the community and if there are any abnormalities in their homes.

Use this information to make a basic registration.

When everyone felt safe, they gradually relaxed their vigilance, and the lines they had arranged began to fall apart, with people randomly following the night patrol in twos and threes.

But He Zhou was the only one whose tension was increasing.

Damn it!

I'm thinking of slipping away!
