The Final Story of Miss Weird

"Business matters."

Luo Ling's expression returned to its usual calm state, but it looked like he was secretly relieved.

"Tsk."

Lu Manqing spat and angrily put down the graffiti pen in his hand.

The door of the room was pushed open. Melissa, holding a few stacks of parchment, walked in and saw several clown faces. She was almost frightened and thought she had come to the wrong place.

After a closer look, she realized that the girl being taken care of was Luo Ling, the one she was looking for. She gave up the idea of ​​leaving the room, but couldn't help but ask, "I didn't disturb you, did I?"

"No," Luo Ling said calmly, "Thank you very much, please come and send it off in person."

"polite."

For some reason, Melissa always felt that there seemed to be some gratitude in Luo Ling's tone.

Did she do anything special?

But soon, Melissa calmed down and said,

"This is the catalog of the secret treasures, but it only records a portion that can be made public. There are also some...treasures that cannot be revealed, so it is inconvenient to record them."

She handed the parchment to Luo Ling, and then said, "You can choose anything on it at will, and it will also take one chance. In addition, you can also use one chance to randomly draw a treasure from the secret collection.

"The treasures that can be directly selected are only a mediocre part of the secret collection. If you randomly draw, you may get a higher-level treasure... Of course, you may also get a worse one. How to choose is entirely up to you."

"Does the "company" also like to play the blind box game?" Lu Manqing, who was listening nearby, leaned his head out and looked curiously at the parchment in Luo Ling's hand.

"Some people prefer surprises." Melissa smiled.

"Let me take a look first."

Luo Ling took the secret collection catalog, flipped through it for a while, and soon couldn't let go of it.

"The sacrificial artifact 'Eagle Eyes' is recommended for users with the ability of the 'Judgment' path. The user needs to remove his or her eyeballs first, and then use the means of the 'All Spirits' path to fuse them. After the fusion, the user will have the ability to see thousands of miles away. The specific distance is estimated to be about 687 kilometers."

"Ninety-seventh in the Weird Sequence: The Relics of the "Earthbound Evil Spirit" of the "Nightmare". It is recommended that users with the ability of the "Dream Wandering" path exchange it to make a holy medicine that can be promoted from the middle level to the upper level. The relics are not complete enough and are not recommended for use in making sacrificial vessels. The chance of successfully manifesting abilities is too low."

"..."

Most of them are sacrificial vessels or holy relics, and are almost all considered to be at the "dangerous and weird" level. There are not many that involve "high-risk and weird" levels, and they are basically some scattered debris.

However, among these hidden treasures, Luo Ling saw something unexpected.

"The eighth in the strange sequence: the holy remains of "Naraku" of "Chaos". It is not recommended to exchange for it."

"This is..."

Luo Ling pointed at the things on the parchment and asked.

It is really unbelievable that a "forbidden" holy relic suddenly appeared among a group of treasures that even "high-risk and weird" people could not reach.

Melissa, who was waiting nearby, took a look and said with a wry smile,

"This was originally placed among the high-level treasures, but how should I put it... Actually, it's a bit of a stretch to call it a holy relic. It can only be said that it is a treasure with some of the power of "Naraku", but the most important thing is... It's very difficult to handle.

"Naraku" is a "taboo" after all. Even if it is just a little bit of power, few pharmacists are willing to take it over and make it into a holy medicine. If you accidentally touch the existence of the "taboo", even death may be considered a relief.

“However, this amount of power is not enough to make it into a sacrificial weapon. Even a special weapon mixed with strange power is not enough, so it is put aside here.

"Oh, yes, you all should know this. In fact, this is... the scientist who died in Jiangcheng County in "The Devil's Herald". Her body was completely torn apart by the hyphae of the "White Witch" at that time, leaving only these few weak spider legs."

"...I see."

Luo Ling still remembered that she had seen the holy remains left by scientists in the points exchange catalog not long ago. At that time, she was thinking about accumulating enough points to exchange for it. She didn't expect that this opportunity would come to her now.

"Just have this."

Luo Ling closed the parchment scroll and handed it back to Melissa.

"Ms. Luo Ling, are you really... sure you want to change?" Melissa took the parchment scroll hesitantly and said with a frown, "It also says here that it is not recommended..."

The thing is real, and the power contained in it is also real.

It's just... it's just not usable.

It was such a waste to exchange a precious secret hiding opportunity for something that couldn't be used, and even Melissa couldn't help but dissuade him.

"It's decided then."

Luo Ling made up his mind and smiled at Melissa, "Don't worry, I know everything you said... I want to give it a try, what if I can really use it? This is one of the top ten "taboos" in the weird sequence."

"..."

After hearing Luo Ling's answer, Melissa was silent for a while, but sighed in her heart.

Does she mean to get a bargain?

He is really too young and too arrogant.

"Taboo"... is something that anyone can access. This previously unknown lady was probably too confident and thought she was the center of the world and could do anything.

Melissa has seen too many young people like this.

However, since I have already tried to dissuade her, but she still refuses to listen and insists on choosing this useless thing, I will just let her be. This can be considered a lesson for her.

Besides, it would be better to get rid of this troublesome thing as soon as possible. Preserving the holy remains also requires some resources. The longer you delay, the greater the loss.

"Okay, Miss Luo Ling, your first chance is to choose the Sacred Relics of Naraku. But I need to remind you that this sacred relic is very dangerous. Try to use it under the protection of a P8-level person in charge." Melissa nodded slightly and said.

"know."

Luo Ling nodded.

She had said that on purpose just now, in order to give Melissa the impression that she was arrogant and ignorant, so as to avoid the matter of exchanging for the "Naraku" Sacred Relics from attracting too much attention, and at most it would be just a silly boy trying to take advantage of the bargain.

"With this holy relic, plus the power left by the "boundary" that I devoured not long ago, I should be able to advance to the "Naraku" form."

Luo Ling thought in her heart, but she was also a little uneasy about Naraku's new ability.

"Naraku's" first ability, "Falling Net", is already powerful enough, even to the point of being dangerous. How terrifying will the second ability be?

"What about second chances?" Melissa asked.

"...Let's draw a prize."

Luo Ling had already made up her mind. Anyway, the things that could be directly selected from the catalog were of no use to her.

“This is how most employees use up their caches.”

Melissa smiled slightly and handed Luo Ling a crystal ball. "Just inject inspiration into the crystal ball and the secret treasure you drew will appear on the crystal ball. The company swears by its reputation that there is absolutely no insider information or cheating. It is completely random."

The more you say this, the more it makes people feel that there is something fishy going on...

No matter what game it is, the idea of ​​completely random card drawing feels like a joke.

"...good."

Luo Ling took the crystal ball, but hesitated for a moment.

She thought about her luck just now, how she lost after being chased four or five times with only one card in her hand, and the three silent landlord cards.

As a humiliating punishment for failure, the graffiti marks on Luo Ling's face left by Elsa and Lu Manqing's repeated humiliation are still there.

"How about you come, Elsa?" Luo Ling handed the crystal ball to Elsa. "It seems like you have good luck. You won whenever you played against me just now."

Is it possible that it's your problem, Miss Luo Ling?

Elsa didn't dare to say it out loud, but still took the crystal ball from Luo Ling.

anyway...

We must never let Miss Luo Ling touch things that require luck again. She is simply born with bad luck.

Elsa injected inspiration into the crystal ball. After a moment, colorful lights flashed in the crystal ball. Melissa next to her was stunned for a moment and said with a smile,

"You guys are lucky. Although it's not the first prize, it's still first prize."

"what?"

Luo Ling also became interested. Elsa raised the crystal ball and saw an illusory shadow inside, which seemed to be burning some unbearable nightmare.

"The thirty-seventh in the Weird Sequence, the sacred remains of the "Nightmare's Core of Terror", if used properly, can effectively curb most of the abilities of "Dream Wandering" and "Nightmare". "

-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------

On an ordinary day, a tired cat suddenly had an idea.

"Why don't we offer a reward? Since there aren't many readers anyway, I'll offer an unlimited reward to give myself some motivation."

Then it found itself being driven by a planetary engine.

"..."

Oh ho, it’s over.

Chapter 8: The shadow of the fireplace fire, a "token of love" given to each other (k)

"..."

The flames in the fireplace flickered and the crackling sound of burning wood was the only sound that could slightly alleviate the silence in the stagnant and quiet atmosphere.

An old man, as if shrouded in the aura of dying, sat in front of the fireplace, with his back hunched and his body slightly bent. Under the light of the fireplace, there were faint shadows in the wrinkles on his face.

The old man was silently looking at a photo in his hand. The photo showed a gloomy black-haired girl with no expression on her cold face.

The most striking feature is her dark golden eyes and some blue-black scales at her temples that have not completely faded, making her look somewhat different from ordinary humans.

"Luo Ling..."

The old man opened his mouth slowly. His hoarse and low voice was as broken as a bagpipe, and his sighs carried a hint of the end of life.

"Yes, this is her."

A gray shadow nearby spoke up.

The shadow was completely shrouded in shadow. Even the firelight from the fireplace could not dispel it in the slightest. It was like a thick fog that could not be dispelled. No shape or features could be seen at all.

It seems to be detached from this world, and what exists here is just a reflection of reality.

“I didn’t expect that what happened back then would end up like this.”

The wrinkles on the old man's face relaxed a little, and he chuckled, with a hint of joy in his tone. "The company, and the directors... I didn't expect that you didn't completely win the game that year."

There really exists such a strange person who possesses the ability to annihilate boundaries. This astonishing fact has finally been confirmed. Compared with this reality, it is just a failure in promotion, nothing more.

The "forbidden" disaster that forced the "company" to choose to sacrifice some people to save it was indeed related to the "pioneers", but it was not entirely caused by them. The "company" was also involved.

However, the pioneers tried to use this "forbidden" disaster to give birth to a fourth pioneer with power, in a way that was not much different from the way the previous three were born, and the one chosen was the artist.

But unfortunately, this time the "company"'s rescue measures were quite timely. Not only was the "taboo" disaster successfully contained, but even the artist's promotion was interrupted.

What's worse is that the artist suffered irreparable injuries, and even maintaining his life requires some special means - this is why Luo Ling saw the artist as a living being that was fragmented and blended together through the perspective of "Puppet Ballad".

Therefore, artists have completely lost hope of gaining power.

so...

Among the pioneers, scientists are more important than artists. This was one of the reasons why the artist chose to be the last one on the train.

The artist has lost hope of gaining power, but the scientist at least still has a chance, and it is not slim... So the philosopher did not hesitate to send out his incarnation to rescue the scientist in Jiangcheng County.

However, the subsequent development of events was beyond everyone's expectations, and ultimately led to the death of both the artist and the scientist in the Jiangcheng County incident.

The failure of the artist's promotion that year directly declared that all the efforts and sacrifices made by the "pioneers" for this project had been wasted. In addition to the permanent injuries left on the artist, at least 70% of the pioneers were lost in vain.

Even the "educator" and "philosopher" suffered some injuries and have not yet fully recovered.

The "Company" took advantage of this to completely control the entire Victoria, eliminating all the influence exerted by the "Pioneers". The forces of order completely suppressed the forces of weirdness, and the "Pioneers" were forced to lie dormant until today.

Therefore, this plan has always been regarded by the "Pioneers" as a complete failure, even though the "Company" and the forces of order at the time also suffered heavy losses as a result.

But now...the previous failure seems to have ushered in some turning points.

"Philosopher, do you want to do something to her?"

Shadow spoke slowly. Its voice had been specially processed, and it was impossible to tell whether it was male or female, nor could it tell the tone and emotion. "She has hidden many secrets. She should know more about this strange person."

"Why did you attack her?" The philosopher raised his head, his wrinkled face full of smiles, "Don't you think that she might have some connection with this weird...?"
