These weird things are all mine

Several girls were walking to the restroom together, and they saw a middle-aged man standing at the door of a cubicle, holding the slender hand of a woman in the cubicle.

Fortunately, Cen Xiangyun subconsciously stepped back a little and did not show her face, otherwise... the headlines in a few days would be more interesting.

"Perverted!"

The girls screamed, but the next moment they saw that the toilet was empty except for them.

"...Is this a mistake?"

Because of cognitive impairment, the few of them looked at each other for a while and then ignored this strange episode.

"Uncle Shaoheng, you really came in... That's the women's restroom."

"Sorry, time is of the essence."

In less than a minute, Li Shaoheng and Cen Xiangyun arrived at the foot of Huolu Mountain.

Li Shaoheng had a solemn expression. He raised his head and looked at the waning moon in the sky, which was slightly stained with blood.

"It's really not good. We have entered the "Incubation Barrier". It seems that it has only just started."

"This... Another 'dangerous weird' appeared?" Cen Xiangyun widened her eyes, "How could there be so many 'dangerous weird' in Jiangcheng County? Even if we could encounter one once a year in the capital, it would be a big deal..."

When they came, Ji Shinian had already told them everything about Baiyan Village. At first, she and Uncle Shao Heng thought that Ji Shinian's words were a bit nonsense. Even the weakest "dangerous weirdness" was not something that a few mid-level awakeners could solve.

They are more inclined to believe that it was the dead performer who killed the dangerous monster. After all, the "Evil Pioneer" always has some unique ways to deal with monsters.

As for the other speculation, about the existence of a being named "Ji Ying" which is also dangerous and strange, people are skeptical.

There is no other reason. The probability of two dangerous and strange creatures appearing in the same place in succession is terribly low.

But now....

"I will consider asking the company to send more people, but this is not the issue to discuss now. We must prepare for the worst."

Li Shaoheng said in a deep voice. He raised his hand and took out a radar out of thin air. In addition to the scanned map, it also displayed a bunch of complex parameters.

Obviously, its function is similar to the compass in An Yu's hand, but it is much more precise.

"How about it?"

Cen Xiangyun was a little nervous.

Li Shaoheng's face first showed a bit of strangeness, then he raised his head and looked into the distance, his pupils shrank slightly.

"The hatchery is moving! And... it's heading south."

To the south?

Isn’t this the direction that little sister Luo Ling ran away?

Cen Xiangyun was startled and said,

"Then what are you still standing there for? Let's chase after them!"

But Li Shaoheng remained motionless, looking at Cen Xiangyun quietly, and said slowly,

"Are you sure that the Awakener on the weird side... is really an Awakener?"

"Should be...right?"

Cen Xiangyun said this, but then hesitated.

The reason why she thought Luo Ling was a weird awakener, rather than a weird one, was because Luo Ling looked like a human being and remained rational.

Ordinary weird things cannot do this. They will only be summoned by the corresponding path and act on instinct.

...Unless it is "high-risk weirdness", which is even more terrifying than the general high-risk weirdness and is close to a "taboo" existence.

There is a rule in the "Company" commission handling guidelines that in any commission, in any scenario, when encountering something weird that is completely indistinguishable from a human being, you must immediately abandon all actions and evacuate as quickly as possible, even if it means abandoning your teammates.

Bringing back this mysterious information, even just one sentence, could save tens of thousands of lives.

This is the only rule in the current commission handling guidelines that clearly stipulates that teammates can be abandoned, but since joining the "company", Cen Xiangyun has never heard of anyone actually fulfilling this rule, and once thought it was just a prank.

"I hope it will be."

Li Shaoheng looked at Cen Xiangyun deeply, then hung a waist bag containing a dozen handleless knives around his waist.

Cen Xiangyun knew that this was Uncle Shao Heng's sacrificial vessel, which meant that even he had taken it seriously and took out the sacrificial vessel containing "power", the "Blade of the End".

That’s right, although the awakened ones cannot possess “power”, they are not completely unable to access “power”.

There are a total of eighteen people in the "company" who possess sacrificial vessels with "power". Without exception, all of them are made of "high-risk and strange" holy bones, and some power of "power" is sealed inside.

Of course, it is still incomparable with those half-human, half-weird old guys in the pioneers. There is a world of difference between the concepts of "using" and "owning".

"I hope so..."

Cen Xiangyun murmured, she didn't want to lose the year-end bonus that she had finally gotten.

The hairpin ritual object is still waving at her...

Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard several crisp applause from behind, and a playful and wild voice rang out,

"I was wondering who it was. The "company" actually invited you here, Sir Chisuo, the baby buses in Jiangcheng County are quite capable."

Hearing the voice, Li Shaoheng stopped and stood where he was.

"Besides the artist, is there anyone else like you?" He turned around and looked at the one-eyed woman sitting carelessly on a stone chair at the foot of the mountain with a cold expression, "'Scientist'."

"I'm sorry to bother you to remember me, but just like the last time we met, you can't leave today."

The scientist snapped his fingers, his smile showing some amusement.

"Xiangyun, you go over first, I'll deal with her first." Li Shaoheng turned his head and looked at Cen Xiangyun.

"Her ability can retrace my movements, so I can't escape even if I use space teleportation. Don't worry, we are not that unlucky. We can only encounter something scarier than a high-risk monster. It's probably just the egg chasing the girl."

That being said, who can really explain something as weird as this?

Perhaps on a leisurely afternoon, a disaster occurs that destroys a city or even a region.

But Li Shaoheng did not say these, as he still had plenty of time to teach the younger generations.

"...Um."

Cen Xiangyun nodded and couldn't help but look at the scientist with curiosity. This was the first time she had seen a member of the Evil Pioneer.

One of the organizations known as the Public Enemy of Humanity.

Noticing Cen Xiangyun's gaze, the scientist just smiled at her and said,

"Sister Empress, I really like your "Chou Ye Dynasty" series. Don't worry and go. I won't kill you...at least until the series is finished. I don't like to read works without an ending."

Hearing these words, Cen Xiangyun suddenly had a strange feeling. Would the enemy of humanity also watch movies?

"Leave quickly if you're still thinking about your year-end bonus."

Li Shaoheng reached for the "Ultimate Blade" at his waist and stared at the scientist closely.

Even though he knew that the other party could control her abilities and it would be difficult to kill her here, he still had to try anyway.

Because the other party is a bad guy, a real bad guy.

Scientists, in the name of research, asked philosophers to take action and massacred two cities, using the philosophers' abilities to kill all the people in the cities except children under the age of three.

Then she collected the surviving children and babies and subjected them to some inhumane human experiments.

The ultimate purpose of the experiment is unknown, but at least as far as the "company" knows, there are no survivors among these poor "experimental subjects".

Li Shaoheng had fought with the opponent several times in "Victoria" a few years ago. His "backtracking" ability greatly restrained his spatial ability.

Even if he used his ability to walk hundreds or thousands of meters, scientists could bring him back to his original position in an instant.

A tough opponent...

However, for scientists, Li Shaoheng's ability also poses a unique problem. Fighting against someone who can manipulate space is not something that can be done with ease by simply "backtracking".

As awakeners of the "Order" path, which is the most difficult to grow, they know how difficult it is to deal with each other.

While the scientist was confronting Li Shaoheng, Cen Xiangyun hurriedly took out a magic wand made of ice crystals and ran towards the south of Huolu Mountain.

"The artist is over there. Aren't you afraid that your niece will be killed by him? I can't bear to kill her, but the artist may not. He never likes to watch movies that are too commercial."

The scientist reminded with a smile, and at the same time she casually untied the cat head mask, revealing a pair of mechanically made artificial eyes with only a living eyeball embedded in them.

"I believe she can handle it." Li Shaoheng took out three flying blades and said in a deep voice, "My only mission now is to kill you."

......

Luo Ling has already discovered it.

She stopped running.

Looking up, I saw a sad and beautiful blood-red waning moon hanging in the sky, so red that it was shocking.

A new "egg" has been born.

Luo Ling knew that she could not escape from the incubation barrier because the core of the incubation barrier was herself.

She was not an "egg" before, but now she has been chosen to become an "egg", just like Bai Lingzhi and Li Tianming.

A certain power was born from her hands, and Luo Ling was very familiar with this power.

... "Kume no Yado".

But now Luo Ling has not turned into the "White Witch". Theoretically, she cannot use the power of Puppet Yao, but now Luo Ling has mastered this power.

"Becoming the 'egg' of the puppet song, this is what it feels like..."

Luo Ling chuckled.

Puppet Yao did not implant the mycelium into her body, but sensed her thoughts and her thinking, and then sent this power to her hands.

To be more precise, if Luo Ling wants to use a certain ability, Puppet Yaoi will use it for her and give her the effect of the use.

No wonder, Li Tianming and Bai Lingzhi can use all the abilities of Puppet Yao at will without any growth.

Who can resist this powerful force that comes at no cost? The host of the "egg" will only continue to use it under the temptation of powerful force, and continue to step into the abyss, and even the flesh and blood will gradually be replaced by white mycelium... In the end, it will completely become a part of the puppet rumor.

...There is no such thing as a "dangerous weirdness" or a clone of Puppet Rumor. From beginning to end, there has only been one "high-risk weirdness", a terrifying weirdness ranked 49th in the weirdness sequence.

But through this, Luo Ling also discovered that Puppet Yao... was indeed in an unprecedentedly weak state, and it had to rely on the "eggs" to accumulate strength.

Why did they suddenly choose Luo Ling as the "egg" to hatch at this moment...

Luo Ling thought of the "fake weirdness" she encountered in the shopping mall, and she understood instantly.

It must have come into contact with this "fake weirdness", but was unable to tell whether it was real or fake, so it could only greedily choose to swallow it all.

But the problem is that there are no more "eggs" in Jiangcheng County now. Puppet Rumor must differentiate new "eggs" to obtain these powers for it, and it even seems a little impatient.

Choosing Luo Ling was a mistake.

Luo Ling was too familiar with this kind of power. She knew the limits of Puppet Rumor's power, how to use it, and what the consequences of using it would be.

In addition, the occurrence of this situation illustrates one thing, something that makes Luo Ling feel at ease.

...Ji Ying is not an "egg", or rather, she is indeed not on the side of Puppet Rumor, otherwise Puppet Rumor would not need to differentiate into new "eggs" to accumulate strength.

The sister next to her wanted to wake up, but Luo Ling stopped it because she didn't want her sister to see what was happening next.

Someone was approaching her.

The visitor has bad intentions.

Luo Ling sat on the bench at the bus stop, waiting quietly.

Not long after, a young man...or rather a young man with a middle-aged face, walked over slowly.

He was wearing an elegant tuxedo that was specially tailored to fit him perfectly. The top hat on his head looked a little shabby, with a shiny gold badge inlaid on the side.

A monocle was stuck in the deep socket of his left eye, and he was leaning on a short cane.

Even if she was just standing there, even if her appearance and height were a little funny, the only impression she left at first glance was...elegance.

This is an elegant gentleman.

artist.

"Very good, this strange situation is beyond our expectations. It seems that someone else killed the performer." The artist took a look at Luo Ling and roughly judged her condition. "Miss, do you choose to commit suicide, or let me help you get rid of it?"

Luo Ling, who had just been chosen to be the "egg", had never used Puppet Rumor to gain any effects or benefits, so it was easy to identify that his connection with Puppet Rumor was quite weak.

If someone is like Bai Lingzhi and Li Tianming, who are deeply trapped and unable to extricate themselves, they will most likely be recognized as an independent weirdo.

In fact, the performer misjudged the ability of Puppet Song because of this, not because her vision was inferior to that of the artist.
