Chapter 16: Last Words

Yu Xuan's empty cosmetic bottle lay quietly in the drawer.

But inside, there is nothing!

Jiang Qian's pupils constricted...... Peacock spider, gone?!

That little thing is a highly poisonous creature.

He closed the door with his backhand, turning on his vision for the first time to detect the life in the room......

It's like an instinct that has been written into the genes, and the moment the eyes open, the whole house seems to become a black and white world, with a panoramic view of the empty and the real.

The living organisms have a fluorescent red hue, and the higher the temperature, the deeper the tone.

In this process, Jiang Qian tried to expand the scope and let his "sight" cover the entire house, even the exterior wall!

After about five minutes, Jiang Qian converged his gaze.

Leaning against the door and gasping faintly: "It's okay......"

Except for a few common small creatures in the room, no dangerous species were scanned.

At the same time, he also learned the limits of Lingshi: Lingshi's own 10-square-meter bedroom was not very strenuous for the first 2 minutes. However, when the line of sight is extended to more than 100 square meters of the whole house, the range is increased by 10 times, and there is a clear sense of fatigue in 3 minutes.

It seems that this is a skill that will not last.

It also makes sense.

This kind of ability like opening the eyes of the sky is powerful enough, if it can be used infinitely, it will be too weird and terrifying, right? Anyway, Jiang Qian wouldn't want such a neighbor to live near him.

Of course, maybe as I evolve, my abilities will be expanded even more...... Jiang Qian assessed himself and walked to the window.

The window was ajar at this time, just as it had been when he had first woken up.

"If something else had taken my place to send the guest out of the house, then the 'me' at that time would have to return to the house and make the illusion that I was alone in my room. So, where did the stand-in leave from? ”

Jiang Qian muttered to himself, and subconsciously squatted down, so that his line of sight was level with the windowsill, and examined the changes in the dust through the enhanced visual effect of spiritual vision.

Half-cut footprints come into view.

Sure enough, someone has left here......

This size is definitely not Xiao Nizi's.

Jiang Qian took off the slippers from his feet, tried to compare them, chuckled, and then turned cold.

"Ah Qian...... A dive? It's okay, don't carry it if you're uncomfortable......" There was a heartfelt greeting from my aunt outside the door.

"Meaningless! You can't make enough food to stuff your teeth, and it's an insult to your reputation as the queen of dark cuisine! Jiang Qian replied loudly.

"Aunt is wrong~~"

Outside the door came the aunt's pleading, followed by the old lady's reprimand......

Living with women is not good at all, and attention is often interrupted.

But the benefits are also obvious: valuable pyrotechnics.

When his ears were clean again, Jiang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the edge of his bed, and silently examined his plan.

First of all, I'm going to go to Xiao Nizi tomorrow and find a way to figure out her purpose for pulling herself into the super-object race, which may be related to her future survival strategy.

For this, Xiao Nizi tried to explain: If you don't do this...... What will happen?

She seems to have something unspeakable.

Was it a joke, or was there something really threatening her? Are you being involved?

Xiao Nizi did not hurt her family, and since she returned to the present, she has not found obvious hidden dangers or constraints, indicating that the other party is not in a hurry to tear her face with her.

"So, what does she want from me?"

The above problems all dragged Jiang Qian to have a contact with Xiao Nizi as soon as possible. But......

"At the moment, I don't know her ability and rank, and if you want to make contact, you must have a back hand."

He got up and drew the curtains and sat down at his desk.

Close your eyes, concentrate on remembering the storage compartment with storage function, and summon it with your mind.

Sure enough, the interface in his impression appeared in front of him.

A virtual locker unfolded before his eyes. Among them, 4 slots keep all his belongings: Secret Notes, Little Devil Suit, a "Whispering Heart" rollback summons, and 10 Super Object Crystals.

Ignore it for the time being, Jiang Qian has just come out, and he doesn't plan to go back to find excitement yet.

He first reached for the Mystery Notes.

This is the first time that the item has been taken out in a non-settlement environment after obtaining it.

"I'm not sure if I can use it this time, mainly because I'm afraid of being robbed, and it will be of great use to keep this thing."

As he spoke, a message appeared:

[For the first time, please set a 4-digit PIN first]

"Password?"

Jiang Qian was stunned for a moment.

I thought that this prop was quite conscious, knowing that he was worried about being robbed, the prop immediately offered a modern management method - encryption!

Good idea!

Jiang Qian thought about it for a while, took 4 of the 6-digit passwords he commonly used, and entered the props with his mind.

【Password set successfully】

[Item activated!] 】

In the next second, a streamer flashed in the textured brown notebook, and then it returned to its original state.

The appearance does not see the peripheral that wants to cover up the "combination lock".

[Please fill in the password on any page of the secret note to activate the function]

[Note: This prompt will only appear when the password is set, and will not be prompted in the future, please be sure to remember the rules!] 】

"Rigorous. This way, no one else can discover the secrets hidden in the notebook. ”

Jiang Qian opened the notebook and wrote the password on any page, and the 4-digit ink immediately melted into the note and disappeared.

[Hint: Secret Notes have been unlocked!] Collapse the notebook and the function will lock automatically; After changing hands, you need to re-write the password to enable use]

Jiang Qian became more and more satisfied.

And the first round of testing began: he looked in the mirror and wrote down his ID - Don't use the hidden dragon.

The notebook was silent for a moment.

A line of description slowly emerges from it:

"Don't use the hidden dragon, one? A mutilated and extremely dangerous beetle snake?"

It seems that self-voyeurism is also possible, and the mirrored appearance does not affect the voyeurism effect.

It's just that there are two question marks in the middle of a good text.

Why does this notebook still look down on people?

Is "one head" like a word?

My mighty and domineering iced dragon card for you to eat? At least two ends.

…… The above is just Jiang Qian's irresponsible complaints.

Actually, he's quite satisfied with the functionality of this note.

After all, the privacy that can be spied on by the secret notes is not just as simple as an identity card.

A XX of XX, the "XX" in front of it is a bit overclass......

At this time, a line of Ling appears below the description:

"Please pay a secret that only you know, in any sentence."

Jiang Qian tried to write: steal his sister's makeup bottle and put it in the spider.

After a while, subtitles appeared on the paper:

"Verification failed! There are 2 more chances to verify."

Jiang Qian looked at the notebook in confusion and continued to write: stealing his sister's makeup bottle.

"Verification successful! You're so bored, steal some useless things~"

Jiang Qian's eyebrows were lightly raised.

There was a moment of silence.

He continued to do the test: tearing off a page from his notebook, writing down the password as well, and then his ID.

The answer is always on paper. But there was no demand to pay the secret again.

In this way, as long as the paper is torn from the note, it has the function of peeping into the note; And the data that has already been traded will not be "charged" repeatedly.

On this basis, Jiang Qian verified the function of transmitting messages and burning them immediately after reading, and this function does not require the payment of secrets.

Close the notebook and retract the storage compartment.

Jiang Qian then took out the Little Devil Suit.

The box with strange runes emitted a sinister sense of terror.

At the same time, in front of Jiang Qian's eyes, option prompts appeared: [Open the Box], [Separate Summon] and [Town House Function]

Thinking of the many experiences in the Fang Cai dungeon, especially the strange situation of a group of black porcelain villains running all over the ground, Jiang Qian decisively gave up [opening the box].

If you are bumped into by Lafayette or your aunt, you must not mistake yourself for a heretic of some demon church?

He chooses to summon alone.

And in [Joy], [Anger], [Sorrow], [Fear], [Love], [Evil], [Desire], he chose to summon the "Mourning Demon", that is, the guy he encountered in the second level of "Whispering of the Heart" and created a heart anchor for him.

I saw a mist rise from the rune-strewn box!

The fog expanded and thickened, and countless tentacles with nowhere to place poked out of the thick fog...... This forced Jiang Qian to stand up and retreat backwards, making more room for the mist.

It wasn't until the fog filled half of the room that he could see the "true face" of the Wailing Demon: a grimacing silhouette in the center of the fog......

Then, Jiang Qian heard the familiar, mournful voice: "Ah, this is ......"

Seeing Jiang Qian on the side, his scowling face suddenly revealed doubt and shock!

"You kid is alive?!"

"Thanks to you, we met again. This is where I live. Jiang Qian leaned his back against the wall and said hello calmly.

"It's incredible......"

"Good luck."

"No, it can't be luck! Do you really understand what we represent? ”

His scowling face suddenly became hideous, and then he couldn't wait for Jiang Qian to ask, "How did you deal with the last three guys?" Also, that door...... How could you possibly come out alive?! ”

Actually, I just took a false shot and didn't go in at all...... Jiang Qian couldn't help but scold.

Seeing such a wonderful expression on the other side, he couldn't bear to continue to flicker.

"We'll talk about that later. For now, I'm going to take care of a tricky matter that requires your cooperation. Jiang Qian said, his face became serious.

"Ah...... I understand," Rufu's voice sounded again, and there was a relief in her tone, "We are already your slaves...... That's fine! ”

It solemnly faced Jiang Qian, its frowning face lowered slightly, and said humbly: "My master, what do you need me to do?" ”

The other party was suddenly so obedient, which made Jiang Qian a little surprised.

But also reasonable.

After all, they're just prop lifeforms that they own.

Jiang Qian naturally said the need: "How do I use a stand-in? ”

"It's easy."

With the transformation, the dense fog that filled the room began to condense, and countless tentacles converged inward, gradually concretizing a humanoid puppet with the same height and posture as Jiang Qian.

The remnants of the mist surround the puppet's body, gradually refining the facial contours - like Jiang Qian, who is full of melancholy temperament.

The puppet Huo Ran opened his eyes and said in Jiang Qian's voice, but in an extremely melancholy tone: "This is the stand-in I condensed for you...... There are two options that you can try to control yourself; You can also entrust it to me, and you can just call the shots. ”

Jiang Qian looked at the "other self" curiously, closed his eyes, and tried to establish a connection with it.

So, he woke up in the puppet and saw himself with his eyes closed.

"The limbs and joints are functioning well...... It's just like my own being! Jiang Qian was not without surprises.

At the same time, he tries to manipulate the body and the puppet at the same time, and interact with each other.

Say hello, shake hands, hug ......

Not bad!

Try offense and defense again......

"Hmm!"

Sure enough, this dangerous operation still needs to be practiced. In the short term, it is impossible to consider the eight-person linkage to force back the enemy army, and can only be used as a life talisman for the time being.

Jiang Qian rubbed his shoulders, handed over the control of the puppet to the mourning demon, and put on a posture: "Come, try to knock me down." ”

The puppet Jiang Qian narrowed his eyes and said with a melancholy temperament: "Are you serious?" ”

"Well, not that serious, I mean...... The meaning is on the line! ”

The figure flashed in front of him, and the snake shadow sneaked away!

"Hmm~!"

Immediately from the living room, Lafayette's reprimand: "Jiang Qian, what are you doing, can you stop a little?" ”

"Yes! This is a broken movie, the action scenes are rotten and noisy, I'll change it! Jiang Qian pulled his neck and shouted twice, touched his mobile phone, clicked on the music player, and turned on a background sound.

Then turn back to the doll: "Go on!" ”

Ten minutes later, Jiang sat in the corner with a swollen nose and a swollen face, gasping for breath.

The demon clone who had regained his form of dense fog looked at him sympathetically and comforted: "Your operation is not as good as mine, this is normal, after all, I have killed more people than you have eaten salt...... Don't be so anxious. ”

"I just want to familiarize myself with my abilities, thank you for being my sparring partner, let's be here here today."

Jiang Qian smiled reluctantly, and his mind turned, and he withdrew the demon clone into the box.

Then he looked around the messy bedroom and sighed deeply!

If you make a mistake, you should let it finish cleaning and then withdraw......

Holding up the wall, Jiang Qian tidied up the room and changed his clothes, while reviewing the many skills in the hand-to-hand combat just now.

Finally, slip into the bathroom wrapped in a dressing gown and wash your body.

During this period, it did not attract the attention of Lafayette and aunt again.

When he returned to the bedroom, Jiang Qian felt much more refreshed, his genes had already changed when he became a super species, and his body's recovery ability was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Many of the small wounds caused in the fight have healed on their own, and several subcutaneous bruises have subsided.

But the feeling of exhaustion also hits me.

Jiang Qian, who had already changed into pajamas, sat at the table and was silent for a moment, his eyes fell on the family photo from a long time ago.

In the photo, his father put his hands on the shoulders of him and Jiang Yang, smiling broadly and kindly.

Mother snuggled quietly beside her father, with her other hand around her grandmother who was sitting in a chair......

It was a family of five at the time.

Less than half a year later, my father had an accident.

Looking at this photo, Jiang Qian couldn't help but recall the part of the memory that was reactivated from the copy: the flood that suddenly rushed out of the mountains, the frightened mother and Jiang Yang, and the father made a choice without hesitation......

"Ah Qian, don't look back!"

"Hold on! Stay there and don't move! Listen to me......"

"Protect your mother's ......"

The rushing flood tore at his limbs and kept taking away his body temperature.

But he was saved in the end, only he was saved - the father who was trapped in the torrent threw his son into the shallows with his last strength, and then disappeared into the ocean under the impact of the rapids due to exhaustion.

……

Jiang Qian looked at the photo.

His eyes were hollow, his face was indifferent, and he couldn't see half of his sad and painful emotions.

For him, the process of reminiscing is simply recalling the facts themselves, shielding out superfluous emotions.

Unlike those mentally ill who live in false dreams because they can't accept the death of their loved ones, Jiang Qian knows very well that his father will never come back.

He lost his father.

Now his brother's life and death are uncertain, and his mother continues to be estranged, but he is even deprived of his qualifications for grief and pain.

"Your wife is hiding from me like a plague god, how can you protect it......"
