A ghost storyteller can lose his life but cannot lose his job

Chapter 12 [Paradox Coexistence] and Four Starts (Please read it later)

There are many street lights in the training base, and even in the middle of the night, the light can cover all roads, ensuring that everyone walks on a bright road.

This is probably not a metaphor, because light does have the effect of suppressing the intrusion of strange stories.

Along the way, Zhong Xie noticed that the lawn was neat and the bushes were well-trimmed. From this point of view, Haicheng was quite adept at handling ghost story matters, otherwise he probably wouldn't have the energy to do such superficial work.

There were also unexpected situations. He saw some ghosts taking a walk followed by weeping bloody evil spirits, flaming spirits and the like, just like parents who took their large dogs out for a walk late at night.

These monsters that can follow the trainers in daily life all have good looks. Even if they are not cute, they do not look scary or disgusting.

He had just noticed that the recorder had filed Kuster's appearance in the "pretty cute" column, which must have been useful.

Soon the two of them walked to the office door. Zhong Xie had no experience of studying in high school, so he had no psychological trauma about the office door and the "class teacher".

"Knock knock." He knocked on the door, and after receiving a response from the office, he pushed the door open and walked in. Tong Haitao behind him did not follow him in, but found a chair in the corridor to sit down and play with his mobile phone.

The office is for one person and is not very big. It only has a desk, chair, and bookcase, with a sofa against the wall.

The man at the desk had a tired look on his face and dark circles under his eyes. He held a pen in his left hand and kept taking notes on a book, while his right hand controlled the mouse and he needed to type a few words from time to time.

When typing, his right hand is still the only one operating, while his left hand is always writing quickly, as if he is never tired.

His eye sockets are slightly sunken, his eyes are deep, his face is very thin, and his cheeks are protruding inwards, showing obvious bone structure. Just looking at his appearance makes one feel serious and old-fashioned.

This was Zhong Xie’s first impression of Lao Qin.

On the sofa on the other side lay a short-haired girl in sportswear, with an open book covering her face. Her long, straight legs connected the sofa and the bookcase next to it like a bridge across the sea. Her feet were resting on the partition of the bookcase, and her toes were swaying, looking very comfortable.

Next to her stood a brutal skull-crushing hammer that was nearly 1.8 meters long. The metal parts of the hammer head were asymmetrical, and one side was twisted, probably because it was deformed by hitting something hard. Circles of rusty wire were wrapped around the hammer head, and the whole body was stained with blood.

Just by looking at the hammer, one could sense an ominous aura, and Zhong Xie could easily tell that.

This is a parasitic ghost story, similar to that saber.

"You are Zhong Xie, right? My name is Qin Mian. I will be your class teacher for the next five months and will be responsible for all your affairs." Class teacher Qin Mian clicked a few times on the computer, found Zhong Xie's information, and confirmed it after comparison.

He was not at all surprised that Zhong Xie reported in late at night, as if he had seen all kinds of emergencies before, and as if he had reached a state where working day and night was natural for him.

Similar to his own listless appearance, Lao Qin also spoke in a weak voice: "Giant... Do you have any additional requirements for your teammates' ghost story attributes? I can help you negotiate a dormitory change before school officially starts."

"No." Zhong Xie shook his head. As long as the teammates were useful, he had no objection.

"Okay." As soon as Lao Qin agreed, there was a noise coming from the sofa.

"Snapped--"

The short-haired girl tilted her head slightly, and the book on her face fell to the ground. She looked at Zhong Xie with sidelong glances, a thoughtful gleam in her eyes.

Zhong Xie could clearly feel that the sidelong glance was not out of contempt, but simply because she was too lazy to turn her head, just like she would not pick up a book on the ground.

"This is a survivor, not a normal freshman..." For the first time, there was an emotional fluctuation in Lao Qin's voice. It was a righteous warning, but it was still too late. The girl on the sofa turned over and came in front of Zhong Xie. She stretched out her hand, and the sledgehammer standing beside the sofa moved horizontally towards her and put the hammer handle into her hand.

With a "pop", the hammer girl knelt on one knee neatly and said solemnly in the tone of a royal skull-crushing hammer guard:
"Hello, dear Mr. Giant, you know that before the Giant is released, it is as fragile as a princess. I am willing to be your exclusive knight. Please join my team."

Zhong Xie looked down and the girl looked up.

With such a pure, beautiful and delicate face coupled with sincere words and hopeful eyes, I'm afraid few people could resist such an attack, so they agreed reluctantly.

Except Zhong Xie.

After seeing the beauty of Miss Black Goat and his neighbor, he would not be so easily influenced by ordinary girls. He turned his head and looked past the girl's gift to Lao Qin behind the computer: "Is the giant system so rare?"

"No, the giants in front knew her origins and were scared away." Qin Mian answered truthfully, "She was a repeater, she was held back three grades, but it was not because of her strength."

Hearing this, the half-kneeling female knight stood up and looked back at Qin Mian. Her expression seamlessly changed from innocent begging to expressionless. Her originally cute big eyes turned into half-open dead fish eyes. She raised the hammer without saying a word, her expression as if she was looking at a dead person.

The sportswear is very loose, and you can see that the girl has a well-proportioned figure and is not stout.

She held the tail of the hammer in one hand and raised it horizontally, with the head of the hammer almost touching Lao Qin's left hand. The wire on it even stretched out a little bit, poking the back of Lao Qin's hand like knocking on the door.

Different from what happened just now, the short-haired girl's tough look of "not pretending anymore" made Zhong Xie even happier.

"It's useless to threaten me. If you don't make it clear in advance, either you or he will run away. This is the last time. I don't want to be your class teacher anymore." Lao Qin's tone was irrefutable, and his left hand was still busy.

The hammer girl's eyes swept between Lao Qin and Zhong Xie, but she finally put away the hammer and sat back on the sofa.

So Lao Qin continued to talk to Zhong Xie: "She is very strict with her teammates in the Giant Department. She will train you in her own way. If she finds out that you don't have the talent, she will directly drop you out and ask you to come back next time."

"Can I come back after dropping out?" Zhong Xie felt that this training base was not going to be treated so lightly.

"The effect is real. The guys she trained are much stronger than other giants of the same period, regardless of whether they persisted or not. That's why the higher-ups don't bother to take care of her." Lao Qin said, with a hint of resentment in his weak voice. "They entrusted me to take care of her because I was her class teacher from the beginning."

Zhong Xiexing saluted with a look of respect. This is the model teacher-student relationship of “once a teacher, always a teacher”.

In a sense, this hammer girl is the assistant of this class, but I don't know why she only assists the giant type.

"What? Training in the giant system? Does she know what the giant system is?"

Different from Zhong Xie's calmness, the chinchilla bear at the tip of its tail was completely furious.

Kuster couldn't imagine that, after he had generously given up the custody of both the "Rule System Training" and the "Ghost Story Events", there would actually be a third party who would snatch the custody of his "Giant System".

Is there any reason?
The reason why he was not calm was because he was unsure.

This is the most advanced center for the study of strange stories in human history. This woman’s training method has been recognized by the teacher, so it must be something.

Rational humans produce rational training programs, and even if he is the "second weirdo", he will still have doubts in his heart.

Can she do it?

Can I do it?

Wild ghost stories are actually very powerful with the blessing of the environment, but they may not realize their full potential, making it impossible to research those irrational ghost stories.

Just like wild Pokémon, they may be at a very high level, but their moves, characteristics, personality, potential, etc. are often not the best answers.

Of course, this is just an ideal situation. Wild ghost stories are often mixed with the power of root ghost stories. No matter what is related to the root ghost story, its horror will be infinitely magnified. Root ghost stories always mean the unexpected.

"I will train you into a devil muscle princess." The short-haired girl leaned on the sofa with her legs crossed. Anyway, her image had nothing to do with "knight" or anything like that. She promised seriously, "My ability is well-known. You can ask anyone in this school and you can check my record."

Zhong Xie readily agreed: "Okay."

It’s not because he really wants to become stronger or something, but because he thinks this matter is very interesting and this person is also very interesting.

The hammer girl was a little surprised: "You are much more straightforward than the previous ones. It's worth my waiting. Come on, take me to your dormitory."

"Dormitory?" Zhong Xie cast a probing look at the office worker Lao Qin.

Lao Qin understood his confusion and said simply: "Men and women live together."

Then he waved to the two men again, and when they came closer, he placed the two contracts on the table.

The content of the contract is very simple. Party A shall obey Party B in training matters, and Party B shall obey Party A in ghost story matters. They shall not violate public order and good morals or break the law.

Party A refers to Zhong Xie, and Party B refers to Hammer Girl.

"I have to obey him in matters of strange talk?" The hammer girl couldn't believe it. "Are you crazy?"

"Or you can graduate now." Lao Qin said, "Think about how crazy you are in the ghost story incident. There have been many complaints about you since last year."

The hammer girl's eyes became vague and she felt guilty under Lao Qin's gaze.

Lao Qin closed Zhong Xie's information page on the computer. The strange incidents in the Black Goat Villa had been recorded. He saw an acquaintance on the list of people involved, so he asked for the other party's opinion in advance.

Han Dong (Saber Man):

"You mean the clean-looking guy?

He is a very good person. He is calm and thoughtful. Maybe he is a little saintly. Even when he is at a disadvantage, he still tries to save everyone. I can't do it, but I absolutely respect such people.

Compared to him, I am a beast. At that time, I was already considering using the escape tool to run away, but I didn't expect that he would actually withstand the pressure and kill the ghost story.

Do you know how many levels that thing is?
At least level 50, or level 50 after the Black Goat was captured and weakened. This kind of "evil" thing was killed by a reserve, do you understand what I mean?"

Lao Qin still trusts Han Dong very much. Since he said so, Zhong Xie in front of him is definitely a good seedling with excellent character, personality and potential.

And Hammer Girl lacks such a "brain" to restrain her. In the past year, she handled ghost stories like a mad dog and did many confusing behaviors that ordinary people could not understand. But in the future, with a good guy like Zhong Xie as her company, they will surely be able to support each other and walk more steadily.

In the end, seeing that Lao Qin was determined, the Hammer Girl could only agree reluctantly, and Zhong Xie had no objection at all. He had originally lacked the capital to make trouble in ghost stories, but now he had it all.

I have to say that Lao Qin, the class teacher, has a sharp eye and can tell at a glance what his freshman needs.

Kuster is unreliable. What he needs is a tool who can provide him with combat power in ghost story events!

So in such a harmonious atmosphere, Zhong Xie and the other person signed a mutual help agreement.

When handing back the contract, Zhong Xie passed by Lao Qin's left side, so he glanced at Lao Qin's suicide note and saw that it clearly read:

[So in such a harmonious environment, the two of them signed a mutual assistance agreement. When handing back the contract, Zhong Xie passed by my left side and looked at the suicide note written in his left hand. He saw that it clearly read:

So in...】

(cycle)
"Huh?" Zhong Xie looked at his left hand, which was still repeating the above words. He was confused for a while before he understood.

This suicide note of yours is a narration?

You really haven't written any wills, so why are you just starting to fill up the word count in your diary?
Thinking this way, he also understood why the suicide note would fall into this loop. As long as he kept staring at the suicide note, the suicide note would keep repeating the contents of the suicide note he saw.
It's like you're standing between two mirrors in a barber shop, and the person in the mirror will be infinitely replicated and extended.

"Go, don't read my last words casually, it may easily jam the program." Lao Qin handed over the agreement signed by the two, and then signaled Zhong Xie and the others to leave.

The two of them walked out of the office in silence, one after the other. Tong Haitao, who was standing at the door, had a change of expression when he saw the hammer girl.

He handed Zhong Xie a business card as a sign of completing his mission, and asked Zhong Xie to contact him if he had anything to do, while he then slipped away.

The hammer girl didn't react to this. She carried the hammer on her shoulder and walked with the wind, looking anxious to take Zhong Xie back to the dormitory.

"How big is your initial form of a ghost story? If it's not big, show it to us." The hammer girl asked, "Are there any messy entries? We will start training tomorrow."

"Not that big." Zhong Xie released Kuster. "What's your training plan?"

Speaking of this, Kuster became excited and immediately pricked up his two round ears to eavesdrop.

"Yes." Hammer Girl threw four Kaidan capsules over. "First, learn how to activate it. It's not easy for a giant Kaidan to control excessive Kaidan power in its fully released form. It will be much better if there is an activation entry."

After saying that, she emphasized again: "You can only choose one of the four, because you can only activate it once at the same time."

Zhong Xie took the four capsules, and information of four entries appeared in his mind at the same time. They were all grey entries, and the descriptions were similar.

[Instant Start]: Start quickly, release an instant attack and then enter a 1.5 round cooldown period.

[Slow Start]: Starts slowly, increases all attributes by 25%, and launches an attack after 2 turns.

[Steady Start]: Steady start, after 1 round of cooling, all attributes increase by 10%, each time you release an attack, your momentum will be improved, and all attributes will increase by an additional 5% (the increase brought by this item is capped at 50%)

[Overheat Start]: Overload start, release two attacks in succession, the first attack is 90%, the second attack is 130%, and then enters a 2-round cooldown period.

As Hammer Girl said, when the giant monster-type monsters enter the fully liberated form in battle, they will have a huge amount of monster power. "Start" type entries can help them better control, enhance attributes and attack quickly.

Each attack of the giant system is extremely slow. It takes time from charging to bursting, and it can only do one thing per unit time. The whole process is similar to a turn-based system, so the entry explanation directly uses "turns" to measure this concept.

The activation term is one of the essential terms in the current giant-type ghost stories, but Kuster has no idea about it.

"This thing... isn't very useful, right? I've solved it before by just sucking it hard. There's no need to activate it." Kuster said in Zhong Xie's heart, his tone hesitant and without any confidence at all.

Okay, you know you can't trust Pokémon.

Zhong Xie shrugged and reached into his trouser pocket to feel the presence of a strange capsule.

He didn't expect to use it so soon.

The four startup methods contradict each other, but they also have something in common. Doesn’t this just meet the requirement of [coexistence of paradoxes]?
　When the setting of the ghost stories is more detailed, I can open a post to collect ghost stories. Some weird stories can be written in the post. This time I will record them in time and try to use all the good inspirations of book friends ^_^
