The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 38: One Starry Street (4)

"Hurry up. Did you get it?" Seeing that Su Ninglong was still reluctant to touch the telescope, Xiao Liu pressed the tip of his knife against her back and urged, "You don't want to help me?"

"Help, of course I will." There is a knife stabbing in the back!
If Su Ninglong had the same height as in the simulator, he would have kicked Xiaoliu into a cripple long ago.

Spiritual fire rose from her palm and burned across the mirror.

The telescope suddenly trembled violently, and the metal shell cracked, revealing a cross-shaped pupil, and the iris was surrounded by tiny termite-like tentacles.

The spiritual fire could only burn out the original form and did not cause much damage to it. The small tentacles were still "gurgling" excitedly.

This is definitely not an ordinary secret spirit, there may be another entity behind it.

"You want me to take this thing?"

Xiaoliu was also stunned and stammered, "He told me that this was an item as valuable as life, but the owner of this house picked it up from the street."

Su Ninglong: “???”

It's full of loopholes. "Who told you that? Who would pick up a piece of junk on the street?" In an era of abundance, one star coin could buy a similar piece of junk. Do you need to pick up junk on the street as a gift for a child?
Also, how did the other party know that the owner picked it up, and how did she know that the thing was in the child's room? Most importantly, why did she have to come and get it?

"You have to take it off anyway."

Even though the blade had pierced through the fabric, Su Ninglong was still unwilling to cooperate. "If you want to catch me, do it yourself. It's disgusting."

As soon as the word "disgusting" came out, the cross-shaped pupils suddenly shrank, and countless tentacles turned towards Su Ninglong in unison, and the resentful gaze seemed to have substance.

As if to say, she had offended it.

I saw Xiaoliu rummaging in his pocket but couldn't find the tools.

Su Ninglong had no choice but to take out the antique clock hands from his trouser pocket because there was a mold threat next door.

This is also a mysterious spiritual item. As a mysterious spiritual artifact, this long metal needle wrapped in an ominous aura is at least not as disgusting as the tentacle.

The moment the pointer lifted the telescope, dozens of tentacles suddenly grew and wrapped around the pointer.

The two completely different and strange auras had their own ideas about each other. The moment they entangled with each other, they tore and devoured each other, and started an invisible fight in the void.

Xiaoliu, who was standing nearby, was completely unaware. Su Ninglong asked, "So this counts as getting it, right?"

Xiaoliu hesitated: "Take a closer look, the eyeball is quite cute. Hold it with your hands..."

Su Ninglong's eyes turned sinister, and she said loudly, "Cute? I'm already a little cute, I don't want it to mutate me into a big cute."

"Then... forget it."

"Then hurry up and go." While the small telescope was entangled with the clock hands, Su Ninglong quickly slipped away. When she was about to leave the bedroom, she looked back. On the wall, a little higher than her, there was a family of three drawn with simple lines. The crooked and shaky curves were obviously a child's handiwork.

They all had smiles on their faces, with the little girl sitting in the middle and her parents standing on both sides.

Even though it's just doodles, it's still cute.

Perhaps because of the fight between two mysterious spirits, the mold on the bedroom door did not expand further and even showed signs of withering.

But Su Ninglong knew that if the two were in contact for a long time, one would be swallowed by the other, or they would merge together and a stronger secret spirit would appear.

She couldn't let the two merge.

When she got downstairs, Su Ninglong took advantage of Xiaoliu's inattention and ran forward. After running for a few steps, she stopped and the sky fell.

The open door was dark without any light.

The lights on the first floor were getting dimmer and dimmer, and the light seemed to be fading away.

"Black sky." Su Ninglong had experienced this once in the simulator. Either he had to find the exit of the rules or kill the secret spirit that created the sky.

No matter which method is used to solve the problem, it will be difficult for unprepared hunters.

…………

Five minutes after Su Ninglong was abducted, Zou Shuyi discovered that she was missing.

"I searched the whole house but couldn't find her." Xing Yuan ran down from the second floor with a bad feeling in his heart.

"There's food waiting for her, she can't leave the house quietly." Su Ninglong's foodie nature is deeply rooted in people's hearts, even the drinkers know it.

Ziyue said, "I noticed she went to the restroom."

Zou Shuyi hurried to the bathroom to look for it. Under the sink, a small pink bead rolled down. It was from Su Ninglong's headdress.

Xingyuan pointed to the skylight, "It's open there."

The toilet windows usually don't open that wide. Besides the privacy issue, it's also because it's been snowing a lot lately and the weather is so cold, so they're almost always closed.

"Call the police."

Zou Shuyi is already familiar with the process of calling the police and knows the internal phone numbers of all the nearby police stations.

I called the police station directly without asking them to transfer me.

When Star Police heard that the person who reported the case was Zou's Bar again, before going out on the scene, his teammates even joked, "Is it a fight?"

"No, a Star Alliance child was kidnapped."

"Could it be that he was pulled aside by the Star Alliance to chat?"

The Star Alliance is an organization modeled after the Star Alliance. The interstellar government allowed its establishment so that hunters would not be completely monopolized by the Star Alliance.

It was established not long ago and is not as large as the Star Alliance. Its methods are not as open and honest as the Star Alliance, and it often likes to steal people from the Star Alliance behind their backs.

The Star Alliance had already snatched away several promising children.

This year is not so bad, because the Star Alliance strictly controls the examination process and intends to become a government agency, so the Star Alliance cannot get students.

"It shouldn't happen, because Zou Shuyi is the head of the intelligence branch of the Star Alliance. How could she let her child go to Xingyao?" Not to mention that Zou Shuyi looked down on Xingyao, the Star Police also didn't like their style of doing things.

But political games and policy making are never zero-sum-one, and they have no right to interfere.

It is easy for the star police to find a child on the same planet.

When Zou Shuyi heard that Xiaoliu had kidnapped Su Ninglong to a house with a mysterious spirit, she crushed a beer glass with her bare hands, her eyes gloomy, and squeezed out the word "Xiaoliu" from between her teeth.

The Star Police immediately contacted the Star Alliance and the Star Glory Alliance to see if they could send anyone over.

This time, the Star Alliance reacted faster than the Star Alliance. There were hunters nearby, and they were the first to take on the rescue mission.

Zou Shuyi didn't trust Xingyao, so for safety's sake, she contacted Wu Mo.

Wu Mo is a three-star hunter. When Su Ninglong got into trouble, he was more nervous than Zou Shuyi.

Wu Mo, who had just completed the mission, immediately changed the direction of the aircraft and rushed to Xinglaier Street at full speed.

…………

The darkness was swallowing up the house bit by bit. No energy could come in from the outside. All the lights were out and it was pitch dark.

Xiao Liu laughed at Su Ninglong's cunning tactics, "See, running away is useless."

"Are you gloating? I can't escape, and neither can you."

Navik said that an experienced hunter can easily determine what the key to enter the subspace is.

Apparently, the key to enter the subspace was missing something, resulting in an incomplete space and limiting the entry requirements. Su Ninglong quickly returned to the clock. He couldn't delay any longer; the black sky curtain would expedite the process of devouring the secret spirit.

She walked over and said, "I'm going to go into that scene again. When the bell rings, I'll be in a state of complete unconsciousness. You have to shine the flashlight into my eyes within twenty seconds. Do you understand? This is the only way you can complete the mission. Otherwise, we'll all die together."

Xiaoliu felt that the task was very simple, so he started scratching his neck again, as he always felt itchy there.

"Be careful."

"Ah."

Seeing the clock pointing to ten fifteen, she tried to turn the clock. It moved, but Su Ninglong was wondering what to do if the monster hit her when it rang again.

Under the light of the flashlight, the tentacle of the small telescope at the end became longer, like the roots of an old tree, and entangled deeper.

The spiritual fire floated under the small telescope and burned. The tentacles of the small telescope, which was in an advantageous position, all retracted. Su Ninglong threw the small telescope into a storage iron can and closed the lid to form a closed space.

The iron can trembled and shook. Recalling how Teacher Yang used spiritual energy to cover the house, Su Ninglong followed suit and formed a seal to isolate the iron can.

This seal is like a vacuum layer, which prevents the secret spirit from feeling the outside world and loses contact with the outside world, so it can only form its own domain in a closed environment.

After the domain is established, as long as you don't open the lid and stay away from it, it won't be a big deal if the seal disappears.

The tin soon quieted down.

Xiaoliu glanced at the tin can and asked, "Why are you keeping it closed?"

Is this even a question? Su Ninglong looked at Xiaoliu deeply and said, "Because I want to use this minute hand."

In front of Xiao Liu, she spoke with the domineering attitude that Old Ancestor Su should have. If she lacked a bit of momentum when talking to the mentally ill Xiao Liu, she would be threatened by him.

"Oh."

It was too dark around, so I shone a small six-inch flashlight into the hall. On the sunken sofa, an illusory figure seemed to appear.

The figure leaned back in the chair, watching TV, watching TV seriously.

Xiao Liu's lips moved, his fingertips trembling. He tugged at Su Ninglong's sleeve, "This... the secret spirit here really could be a shadow crawler..."

Shadow Crawlers might just be a little weird in the eyes of high-star hunters.

It's deadly to the White Hunter.

"Upgrade to a two-star hunter, and you will still have to face it alone." Su Ninglong said lightly.

She also noticed that the sky was unfolding and the subspace was merging with real space.

If the fusion deepens to a certain extent, she and Xiaoliu will have nowhere to hide.

White mold spots appeared on the stair carpet. Su Ninglong didn't have more time to think, so she pressed the minute hand on the clock.

Then he turned it half a circle counterclockwise and made the clock ring again.

"Clang clang clang."

Su Ninglong entered another world, and when he opened his eyes, it was still pitch black around him.

Only this time, the wardrobe was even narrower, and the smell of mold was very strong. When I lifted my feet slightly, I could hear the sound of slime popping.

Su Ninglong came in again, one to keep the key intact and find the second hand, and the other to find out where the main body of the shadow crawler was.

Su Ninglong believed that the "you" in the diary was one of the sources of the incident, and she needed to check the front part of the diary.

At this point, Su Ninglong completely understood the contents of the Shadow Crawler course.

For the parts that are not clearly described in the textbook, you will understand everything after practicing them.

"Ningning, Ningning..." The red light flashed across the cabinet door again, and Su Ninglong's pupils shrank into needles. The mold had completely invaded this place, and the mold on the left and right ends of the cabinet was dotted with white insect eggs.

At such a close distance, Su Ninglong could clearly see that there was something black growing inside the insect egg.

There are many of them, densely packed, and they are gradually moving closer to Suninglong due to the growth rate of mold.

Su Ninglong had a blank expression on her face. If she had the chance, she would definitely let the secret spirit taste the Chaos Divine Fire.

The red light lingered, as if on purpose, wanting the mold to devour her.

As space and reality overlap, it becomes easier to spot her.

But Su Ninglong refused to move. She had to check the front of the diary.

The insect eggs stuck to Su Ninglong's skin, and the coolness caused goose bumps, but Su Ninglong held back.

She could hear countless insect eggs bursting beside her ears, about to hatch. Sharp insect legs scratched her cheeks, but she still looked like a stone sculpture.

There may be some kind of rules limiting it. Perhaps the bandage monster is just a subordinate of the secret spirit. When the monster and the shadow crawler compete for prey, the shadow crawler takes priority.

The bandage monster had no choice but to leave.

At this time, Su Ninglong used her spiritual energy and covered her whole body with a thin layer of spiritual fire. The insect legs that had pierced Su Ninglong's skin retreated.

Su Ninglong quickly walked out of the closet without even having time to think and closed the door.

She quickly took out a mirror and saw white spots appearing on her face. She moved her earrings and cleared her mind, but the white spots did not disappear.

The contamination deepened further, and after only a few seconds of contact, the dark crawlers had caused her body to mutate.

Su Ninglong gritted her teeth and walked quickly to the desk. The diary was still there, but it was invaded by mold and some of the characters were unclear.

She opened the first page: [I am very happy. I prayed for **** and finally got a response. Thank you for coming.]

Page 2: [Ningning is finally able to walk. You were right. When technology can't solve the disease, I can try to seek help from you. You really did it.]

Page 3: [I can't find anyone to talk to. I feel like my body has changed. Can you help me? Let's calm down.]

Su Ninglong counted the time and quickly flipped through the content.

【I'm sorry, I had you at the wrong time. 】

Everything has changed. The outcome shouldn't be like this... I think the reason is clear now. I can't keep you anymore.

The brown bloodstains are particularly obvious on the white paper, and the edges of the bloodstains are jagged, which is caused by dripping.

Where did this blood come from?

Su Ninglong compared the before and after and felt a strong sense of disconnection, as if they were written by the same person.

She memorized a few things, and before the red light arrived, she quickly jumped off the chair and hid behind the table.

The monster's deep breathing sound is still in my ears, and Su Ninglong's scalp
The monster sniffed around and smelled prey. Instead of going to the closet, it moved toward the table.

The sound of the mucus being stretched made Su Ninglong judge that its movements had slowed down, and he silently calculated the timing of his action.

The monster took one step, two steps, and looked behind the table. It even lowered its head to look under the table where people could hide. There was no one, only the remaining smell of prey.

Su Ninglong had already fled along the area without carpet, hid behind the sofa, bent over, tiptoed out of the room, and ran downstairs. She had to see where the remaining second hand was.

But she was stumped by the scene before her: the stairs were covered with carpets, and white mycelium occupied the entire passage.

The light behind me was flickering and the monster was approaching.
