Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

Shen Qiyin whispered to Lin Qiutang where the thing was, while clenching her hand and slowly approaching the thing.

As Lin Qiutang said before, for entities of level D and below, investigators with detection capabilities can carry out investigation tasks alone.

The offensive desire of this type of entity varies, and the cognitive pollution it causes to ordinary people far exceeds that of the fog. However, its shortcomings are quite obvious. If you can figure out the other party's "mechanism", then dealing with it should not be difficult.

Of course, this kind of low-level entity is actually no threat to Shen Qinyin. Her exorcism ability is directly linked to the number of desire stones. Now there are more than two thousand desire stones remaining in her notebook. Even if the Black Tide clone comes, Shen Qinyin can fight against it head-on.

If it was an E-level entity, Shen Qiyin was confident that she could dispel it with just a brass pocket watch worth 100 desire stones. Even more extreme, she could kill it with the "Bloody Cradle" which only cost 50 yuan and was specifically used to "kill" entities.

If it's level D, be conservative and consume three to five hundred desire stones. After all, you can get some money back from killing the entities, so there's no need to be overly frugal.

Of course, this doesn't mean Shen Qinyin can squander money recklessly.

It is true that she now has a relatively sufficient amount of Desire Stones, but she has never found a way to obtain Desire Stones other than the Desire Stones "given" by the notebook when improving the bond and destroying entities.

At present, she is like owning a mountain of gold, but this mountain of gold is getting less and less as she uses it, and there is no way to replenish it.

Let’s put aside the method of improving the bond and obtaining the Desire Stone for now. This thing cannot be improved just by saying it. The notebook will only recognize it after the two people have further communicated with each other.

Putting this aside, the only thing left is to kill entities to accumulate desire stones.

This method is too inefficient.

First of all, there are risks in contacting or fighting with entities, especially those unknown powerful entities. Before you figure out its mechanism, it may lead you into a trap and tamper with your cognition. Powerful entities can even completely rewrite your cognition before you realize it.

Secondly, the entities are not strange beasts that are everywhere on the streets. For humans, although there are quite a few of these entities, if you spread them out over various areas, they are actually not that many.

Alas, it would be great if I could obtain the Desire Stone by killing the strange beast. These things are everywhere on the streets. Not only can they resurrect infinitely, but there is no reward for killing them. There is no benefit at all. It is simply disgusting.

Seventy meters, sixty meters, fifty meters...

When they were only about thirty meters away from the entity, Shen Qiyin and Lin Qiutang stopped at the same time.

This distance is already quite close to the entity, and it is a distance at which the target can be observed in the fog with the naked eye.

Shen Qinyin frowned slightly and cast her gaze towards the figure who was huddled on the track with his knees hugged not far away.

She was a translucent woman, her whole body pale and white. The hem of her dress melted in the mist, like a broken plaster statue. Her back was hunched and bony, and her drooping hair was as grayish-white as cement.

She buried her face in her knees and sobbed softly. These sobs obviously interfered with human cognition, and even Shen Qiyin felt a little annoyed when she heard them.

"This is an entity I have never seen before." Lin Qiutang lowered his voice and said to Shen Qiyin, "Qiyin, we don't have the equipment to investigate. We don't have the acoustic system, infrared scanner, biological signal capture device, etc.

If we want to find her weakness, we have to take our time. We can stay away from her first, observe her logic, and then..."

"Don't worry, there's no need. These methods are too complicated. I prefer a simpler and more brutal approach."

As Shen Qiyin spoke, a pair of scissors appeared in her right hand.

The scissors were blood red all over, with the handles wrapped in dark red linen. The two blades were three times thicker than ordinary scissors, and the edges were covered with irregular serrations. The area near the tip was full of cracks as if it had been hit by something.

This is the exorcism item that Shen Qiyin just spent 100 desire stones to upgrade her notebook, called "Scissors of Resentment".

It is the same as the "Bloody Cradle". Just by listening to the name, you can tell that it is a strange and terrifying evil creature.

Both of these evil creatures are powerful weapons that can cause great damage to entities, but are unable to dispel the cognitive pollution brought by the entities.

Shen Qiyin now possesses mental resistance, which can also be applied to teammates. Therefore, she and Lin Qiutang's resistance to cognitive pollution brought by low-level entities is several times greater than that of ordinary people.

If an average person could survive the entity's cognitive contamination for ten minutes, then the two of them could last at least an hour.

And an hour is enough time for the resentful scissors to "kill" this entity several times.

Shen Qiyin raised the scissors and aimed them at the crying entity. The blade suddenly vibrated on its own, making a sharp sound like metal scratching glass.

She was about to approach the other party, but at this moment, several "living forms" suddenly appeared at the edge of the perception network.

These life forms seemed to have been sensed at the same time and quickly attacked the location where Shen Qinyin and the others were!

"Sister, a strange beast is approaching us."

Shen Qiyin turned to Lin Qiutang and said, "Help me hold on for a while. I'll kill this guy first, and then..."

Before she could finish her words, Shen Qinyin was suddenly stunned.

That entity disappeared.

The kind that disappeared out of thin air, without any sign at all!

Shen Qinyin immediately concentrated her mind and used the vision provided by her third eye to search around in the fog.

no……

This is really weird. How did this thing disappear? Could it have the ability to teleport?

This ability is not uncommon among entities. The first person Shen Qiyin encountered was the one who polluted her cognition through broadcasting, and then attacked her directly across space.

The trouble with this kind of entity is finding it.

"coming."

Shen Qiyin let out a low roar, and almost at the same time as the words fell, several strange canine beasts suddenly jumped out from the fog and pounced on the two of them like vicious wolves!

Lightning instantly formed in her hand, and she was about to throw the electric arrow when a figure as black as ink suddenly rushed out from over her shoulder!

Mona pounced into the air, and her originally small body suddenly turned into a huge black cloth, which wrapped up the attacking beasts without saying a word!

The monster wrapped in the black cloth let out a teeth-grinding whimper, its sharp claws tearing long tears in the fabric.

However, no matter how they struggled, the black cloth only tightened under the other party's desperate kicks, and the corners kept rolling up into sharp folds, and finally it shrank into a fist-sized black ball like a wrung-out rag.

After doing all this, Mona turned back into a black cat and fell on Shen Qinyin's shoulder.

Chapter 113: Eating the Desire Stone of the Strange Beast? A Peerless Cat!

"I didn't expect you had a hidden trick up your sleeve? You're quite something, Mona."

Shen Qinyin reached out and caressed Mona's hairy chin. The latter raised her chin and closed her eyes, seeming to enjoy the feeling of being petted like a cat.

Mona is indeed weak, and it is true that Shen Qiyin did not feel any oppression from Mona, but this is only compared to those powerful monsters and entities.

No matter how weak Mona is, he can still easily deal with some low-level monsters.

I'm afraid that only a strong level 2 monster like the two-headed falcon can pose a threat to Mona.

This is also why Shen Qiyin decided to keep Mona with her.

"Qiyin, can you still feel the presence of that thing?"

Lin Qiutang came back to his senses from the shock brought by Mona and asked Shen Qiyin immediately.

The latter shook her head and replied with a slightly gloomy expression: "Sorry, sister, that entity seems to have the ability to teleport. It has left my perception range."

"It's okay. We just need to be careful. This entity has already discovered us. Based on past experience, I would definitely recommend retreating first. However, since you are confident that you can dispel it, let's investigate further."

"Well, thank you sister for trusting me so much."

"Silly girl, you're still telling me this?"

Lin Qiutang reached out and scratched Shen Qinyin's nose. The latter smiled gently and was about to speak when a clear whimpering sound suddenly came -

"Woooooooo..."

"Woooooooo..."

The whimpering sounded like the howling of ghosts and wolves, so shrill that it made people shudder just by listening to it.

Shen Qiyin felt goose bumps all over her skin. She looked around, and the special vision provided by her third eye allowed her to take in the surrounding environment, trying to find the source of the sound.

What was strange was that the sound was clearly very close, but when Shen Qiyin listened carefully, it suddenly became far away and illusory, making it difficult for her to locate the specific direction.

Before she could locate the source of the sound, feedback came from the edge of her sensory network again.

Shen Qiyin frowned and quickly issued a warning: "Sister, be careful, they are coming again, right in front of us and to our southeast, a total of seven."

"clear."

Lin Qiutang clenched her right hand in the air, and several sharp weapons made of steel and metal sheets floated up, floating around her like swords.

This time, what appeared were no longer the low-level canine monsters as before, but several humanoid creatures with human features.

These strange humanoid beasts are made of a mixture of rusted metal blocks and human flesh. Their chest cavities are expanded into a birdcage-like structure, and their black and red hearts beat non-stop inside.

Their limbs were covered with scattered iron pieces, with a large number of rusty screws nailed near their thighs. There was no head, but instead a rusty iron box. Small pieces of flesh and blood kept flowing out from the gap in the open iron box door.

Shen Qiyin raised the Exorcist Holy Spear, aimed at one of them, and emptied the magazine without saying a word!

The light bullet ejected from the muzzle cut through the darkness like a meteor and accurately hit the black heart in the chest of the monster!

The moment the light bullet made contact, the body of the strange beast was engulfed in scorching white flames. Its black and red heart beat violently in the flames, making a "puff puff" sound, but it was completely burned by the flames in just a few seconds!

The fact that it could be killed by six shots at least proved that it had not escaped the category of a first-level monster. Its recovery speed could not keep up with the speed of the burning flames, unlike the two-headed falcon, which would only be injured after taking six shots.

"That heart should be their weakness." Shen Qiyin turned to Lin Qiutang and said, "How interesting, these things actually expose their weaknesses?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the remaining beasts seemed to understand her words. The iron cages on their chests suddenly squirmed, forming a shield similar to a chest guard, protecting their hearts firmly at the back.

Lin Qiutang couldn't help but teased: "Little fool, you made such a loud noise, did you fall over?"

"... To be honest, this isn't my fault. These creatures have certain biological instincts, so it's only natural for them to protect their weaknesses, right?"

Shen Qiyin shrugged and said to Mona on her shoulder, "Here, little Mona, it's up to you."

Mona made a "√" symbol with her tail, as if reporting to Shen Qinyin that she had successfully received the command.

Immediately afterwards, Mona transformed into a huge black cloth again and pounced on the two nearest iron box-head monsters.

The edge of the cloth suddenly cracked into a jagged gap, and the moment it wrapped around the strange beast, it suddenly tightened!

"Zizzizi!"

The sound of iron corroding mixed with the muffled sound of flesh wriggling and tearing came from the cloth.

The wrapped strange beast twisted wildly inside, and the outlines of the strange beast's limbs were protruding from the surface of the black cloth. The arms that were sewn with a lot of metal plates had just torn through the black cloth when they were pulled back by the rapidly growing and spreading cloth!

On the other side, Shen Qinyin and Lin Qiutang were also busy.

Lightning flashed from Shen Qinyin's right palm, and the fierce electric arrow quickly pierced into the body of the nearest iron-box-headed monster. Blue and white electric sparks instantly burst out from the seams between the iron sheet and the flesh!

The monster's body twitched wildly under the intense electric current. While Shen Qinyin controlled its movements with electric arrows, the metal weapon controlled by Lin Qiutang followed closely behind, constantly crossing and forcibly cutting open the shield on the opponent's chest, exposing the black and red heart inside.

"Die to me!!"

Lin Qiutang turned his wrist quickly, and his invisible mental power was like a pair of big hands, tightly grasping the heart and suddenly crushing it!

The moment its heart exploded, the beast's body rapidly calcified at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then collapsed with a loud bang, like a crumbling stone statue.

In this way, the two people and the "cat" cooperated with each other, and the attacking beasts were all killed by them in less than two minutes.

"Qiyin, should we leave now?" Lin Qiutang adjusted her breathing. "The strange beasts are like mosquitoes in the summer. The more we kill them, the more they multiply. We can't kill them all."

"It doesn't feel right." Shen Qiyin rubbed her cheeks and whispered, "Sister, I always feel like these strange beasts were summoned."

"Being called?"

"Yes, it was that entity that did it. Chen Guanglin was injured while investigating the entity, but the wound was caused by a strange beast. It stands to reason that an experienced old fox like him would not fall for a low-level strange beast.

Secondly, the two waves of strange beasts just now appeared only after that entity 'cried,' so I have reason to suspect that the entity's ability is to summon strange beasts."

"...It sounds like an insect mother, but your analysis makes sense. If that's the case, we can't just leave it alone.

This line is one of the main routes connecting southeastern cities with Huaibei Province, and it is also the only way for Huanglin City to enter Huaibei Province.

It's not a big deal if that thing summons low-level beasts, but the worry is that it could summon a swarm of second-level beasts! We don't know if it has that ability, but it's best to be cautious."

As he was speaking, Lin Qiutang seemed to notice something and turned his gaze to Mona.

"Hmm? Qiyin, look, little Mona seems to be a little weird."

Shen Qiyin looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mona wandering around as if he was lost. He wandered around for several rounds before stopping at a smooth and dry muddy ground covered with grass and trees.

Then it exposed its front paws and quickly dug the sand, making a small hole in the mud.

When the small pit was formed, it arched its back and shook its fur. The three black tails that were mimicked suddenly straightened, as if it was exerting all its strength.

The next second—

With a slight "bo" sound, two glass beads the size of little finger joints rolled out of its body.

Mona opened his mouth as if he was yawning, then raised his tail and turned around twice before starting the next move.

I saw it digging with its two front paws alternately, burying the two glass beads in the small pit with mud and sand. Its whiskers trembled due to the raised dust, and the force of its front paws hitting the soil surface was extremely even, just covering the turned-up soil back to its original place.

It crouched down, put its nose close to the small hole that had just been covered and sniffed, then pawed at the pile of dirt twice, then raised its hind legs, kicked twice in the air, and walked away with a standard cat walk.

"If I'm guessing correctly, it should be pooping."
