Chapter 3 Breaking the Door
She stared blankly at the cards floating in the air before her. Some had blurry human figures, some had distorted totems, some looked like children's scribbles, and one card simply had a black hole on it.

What on earth happened to her?

As if sensing her hesitation, the system added a timely sentence:
[This system features bound abilities that evolve as the host grows.]

To incentivize growth, ten bonus card draws are currently being offered.

[Guaranteed 3-star card in 10 pulls, 4-star card within 40 pulls, and 5-star card within 50 pulls. The count resets after a 5-star card is obtained.]

"...So, if I do ten draws now, I can at least get a three-star rating?"

【Yes. 】

"Are there any other ways to participate in the lottery? Or is this a lottery only available if you give me the chance?"

The system was honest and gave a clear answer:

[In addition to being directly granted by the system, the host can obtain additional card draw attempts by recycling mysterious creatures.]

The current evaluation criteria are as follows:

—Recover F-Rank Mystery: No Card Draw Rewards

—Recycle D-Rank Mystery: +1 Card Draw Chance
—Recycle C-Rank Mystery: +2 Card Draw Chances
—Recycle B-grade Mystery: +5 card draw chances
—Recycle A-Rank Mystery: +10 Card Draw Chances
—Recycle S-Rank Mystery: +50 gacha pulls (includes one pull from the hidden gacha pool)
An Jing's head was buzzing. On one hand, he felt the amount of information in this system was terrifying, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but ask:

"...Then what level is that mysterious creature I ran for so long and was chased until I was out of breath?"

[Under evaluation...]

A moment later, the system honestly replied:
[Rank F.]

An Jing: "..."

[Its contamination capacity is low, its movement is slow, and it cannot pass the safe house threshold. The system determines that it does not meet the recycling standards, and it is recommended to ignore this type of low-level mystery.]

An Jing looked up at the ceiling, speechless with emotion.

Slow to act?
She was chased so hard she was almost killed.

And her classmates, but they were all eaten by these F-level monsters, powerless to resist.

"So all that time I was desperately running for my life... was because I was wasting my time with a monster that wouldn't even give me a chance to draw cards?"

The system is completely neutral: [Yes.]

"..."

The disparity in strength left An Jing somewhat desperate.

She held it in and let out a breath.

Calm down, calm down. Regardless of the system's origins, whether good or bad, she still has a chance to survive here. At worst, she'll just fall from a tiger's den into a wolf's lair.

This gacha pool sounds like a battle of gods; she'll have to figure it out slowly.

Perhaps this was the key to her survival; God did not let her die young.

I stood up, patted my legs, endured my weak knees, and looked at the options that were still bouncing.

【1. To be used later】

【2. Use now】

She stared at it for a few seconds, and finally pressed "2".

"Go ahead and do a ten-pull."

In an instant, the chandelier flickered violently, as if it were being blown by the wind.

There was a current in the air, like the pattering sound of water droplets hitting a piece of metal. Cards flew rapidly in front of her, spinning wildly like a slot machine.

Ding!
First image – [Horror Movie Simulator] (One star)
Ding!
The second one - [Spiritual Lighter] (Two Stars)

Ding!
The third one – [1989 Midnight Communicator] (One Star)
Ding!
Fourth card – [Paper Umbrella Girl] (3 stars)

An Jing's eyes lit up.

Samsung card! The minimum guarantee is here.

The card art for "Paper Umbrella Woman" is quite unique. The image depicts a woman wearing an old cheongsam, her face covered, holding a red paper umbrella and standing at the entrance of an old street alley, with distorted human figures in the background.

system hint:

【"Paper Umbrella Girl": Three-star card. Summoning type. After being summoned, she obeys one command within 5 minutes. She excels at tracking, illusion, and short-range attacks. Side effect: Cannot be used consecutively at night.】

"Why does it look like a very powerful and mysterious BOSS?"

The system responded naturally:

It's just so mysterious.

An Jing: "?"

"You want me to summon a mystery to fight another mystery?? You've got some nerve!"

The next six cards are:

[Exorcism Talisman] (Two Stars)

[Horror Movie Simulator] (One Star)
【Ouija Board Summoning Notebook】(One Star)
[Holy Water Glass Bottle] (Two Stars)

[Shadow Walk] (Four-Star) [Blank Card] (Unknown)

An Jing stared at the last two photos, her fingers feeling a little numb.

"Is this... a profit?"

The four-star card [Shadow Walk] features a dark figure stepping on the setting sun. The system message reads: [After use, you can enter another person's shadow for concealment and short-distance teleportation, lasting 60 seconds. Side effect: After use, you will be weakened and unable to run for a short period.]

"With the ability to teleport briefly, the chances of survival are much higher!" she grinned.

However, the system has yet to provide any explanation for the blank card.

An Jing tapped her head. "What is this?"

The system's voice lowered slightly:
This card is currently unusable and is categorized as a "Special Growth Card"; the conditions for unlocking it have not yet been met.

"...So what is it doing now?"

【do not know. 】

"??"

An Jing fell silent.

"You don't know about your own things?"

The system did not respond, leaving only one line of text:

[Card draw complete. The card has been added to your inventory and can be viewed and used at any time.]

She took a breath, put away all the cards, squatted down against the corner of the safe house, and began to carefully plan her next steps.

"Seven out of ten draws are off, two are guaranteed, and one is a slacker... At least I got a three-star and a four-star."

An Jing squatted in the corner, her fingertips slowly gliding over the [Shadow Walk] card. The edge of the card emitted a faint glow, as if it were breathing softly.

Force yourself to calm down and sort out the current situation: the safe house is still there, the card draw is over, you have a survival card in hand, and no new monsters have entered for the time being.

Then--

"boom!!"

With a loud crash, the door shook violently, and the entire door panel dented inward several inches.

An Jing sprang up, almost instinctively shrinking back.

[A stealthy unit has been detected approaching outside the door. The current status is active attack. It is expected to breach the lock within 20 seconds. Host, please prepare countermeasures immediately.]

The system's voice was calm and mechanical, devoid of emotion, yet it sent a shiver down An Jing's spine.

"Isn't this a safe house?" she asked in a low voice, gritting her teeth.

An Jing immediately realized that this was not a safe house.

The mysterious creature was initially hesitant to enter because there was something inside that it couldn't handle.

And this thing is the gacha system, the mysterious one that initially called itself "I".

My throat felt dry, my palms were sweating, and I gripped the [Shadow Walk] tightly.

The door was slammed shut again.

"boom--!"

An Jing almost heard the door lock click loose, as if the last line of defense had given way.

[It is recommended to use three-star or higher cards for self-protection.]

She didn't say a word, her eyes fixed on the door. Her body was tense, like a string that might snap at any moment.

Breathing as slowly as possible.

ten seconds.

Five seconds.

When the mystery appears, she uses the cards to rush out.

The door collapsed with a "bang."

The entire door panel was smashed open and slammed to the ground like paper, kicking up a cloud of dust.

An Jing instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes, but the next second, she opened them and saw what was outside the door—

Five. A full five mysterious creatures.

She was stunned.

At this moment, they all stared intently at An Jing, huddled together on the door frame, their long tongues constantly trying to get closer to her.

It wasn't just the quantity, but the sense of oppression she felt in that instant.

The air seemed to freeze, damp and cold, with a faint smell of rust.

The mysterious figures stood outside the broken door, five completely different appearances, yet all exuding a chilling "inhuman" aura.
