[Gong Jianming, male, 18 years old, Oh my God, someone is trying to devour his vitality, go tell him quickly.]
[Xing Bu, male, 21 years old, Oh my God, someone is trying to devour his vitality, go tell him quickly.]
[Bian Dantong, female, 16 years old, Oh my God, someone is trying to devour her vitality, go tell him quickly.]
The same fortune slips, but with different names and ages, filled the entire screen in the blink of an eye, and the screen has not stopped displaying them. As people move around, the crowd within three meters of Lin Xi keeps changing, and the number of the same fortune slips is still increasing.
Someone is devouring the vitality of everyone here
"What's going on? Is... is there a monster?" Lin Yan had only seen things that devour life force on TV and in comics. How could such things exist in real life
"Host, please read the signature carefully."
The infinitely magnified “人” character in the fortune almost blinded Lin Yan. It wasn’t that she didn’t see the “人” character, but she didn’t believe it after more than 20 years of socialist education. But when she calmed down and thought about it, it wasn’t strange. She could even climb the TV, so it didn’t seem wrong for others to have some special abilities.
"What will happen if your vitality is devoured?" Lin Wei asked.
"The vitality is being devoured, causing illness at best and death at worst," said the system.
die?!
Looking at the densely packed crowd in the venue, Lin Yan felt her hands and feet cold: "Is there any way to prevent this from happening?"
"I'm just a divination system. Apart from divination, I don't know anything else." System.
“…” No, you will also anger people and make dirty money.
The system was unreliable, what should she do? Should she call the police? But what should she say? Should she say that someone was devouring other people's vitality? She didn't know whether the police would come, but she would definitely be regarded as a psychopath.
Is there any other solution
Lin Xi scratched her head anxiously, looking around, and suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the fire extinguisher placed in the corner. An idea came to her mind. She could pull the fire alarm, pretend a fire, and let the people in the venue evacuate.
As for the consequences of her raising the alarm, Lin Yan no longer cared about it. Just as Lin Yan was about to find the fire alarm, a girl with pink hair, wearing a puffy skirt, holding an ugly cute doll walked into the venue.
[Min Fei, female, 17 years old, Oh my God, someone is devouring her vitality, go tell her quickly. ]
[Ling Tai, male, 17 years old, Oh my God, someone is devouring his vitality, go tell him quickly. ]
Lin Xi paused and started. The man had already come in and was devouring everyone's vitality.
Lin Xi subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the venue, but there were too many people in the venue, and many stalls blocked her view, so she could not see anything.
[Host's vitality -10. ]
[Zhang San, male, 17 years old, Oh my God, someone is devouring his vitality, go tell him quickly. ]
[Host's vitality -10. ]
[Li Si, female, 17 years old, Oh my God, someone is devouring her vitality, go tell her quickly. ]
[Host's vitality -10. ]
Lin Xi suddenly discovered that there were some discordant things in the neat and uniform system information.
My life force is being devoured
Yes, I was also in the venue. With my luck, it would be abnormal if I didn’t get swallowed.
[Host's cumulative vitality -100, high fever.] Suddenly, another symptom appeared in the system prompt.
High fever? Does that mean that after 100 points of my vitality are devoured, I will get sick and have a high fever
No, we must find the fire alarm quickly.
[Host's vitality -10. ]
[Zhao Wu, male, 21 years old, Oh my God, someone is devouring his vitality, go tell him quickly.]
[Host's vitality -10. ]
[Host's cumulative vitality -200, pneumonia. ]
Lin Xi's hands and feet felt weak for a while. She tried to ignore the word pneumonia and continued looking for the fire alarm.
[Host's vitality -10. ]
[Wang Ling, female, 17 years old, Oh my God, someone is devouring her vitality, go tell her quickly.]
[Host's vitality -10. ]
[Host's cumulative vitality -300, meningitis. ]
Lin Yan staggered and almost fell down. How did she get meningitis? She got meningitis in just a short while. If she continued to inhale, would she become crazy
I'm sorry everyone, at this speed, even if I find the fire alarm and wait for everyone to evacuate, everyone will have been crazy from the high fever, so... I'll save myself first.
"I'm sorry!" Lin Xi yelled and ran to the door without looking back.
It's not that I don't want to save you, I really tried my best. When I get out, I will post what happened today on the Internet and ask other capable people to save you.
Lin Xi firmly believed that if there was an ability in this world that could devour the vitality of others, there must be an ability to resolve it. Since she couldn't save everyone, she would spread the news here, and there would always be someone who could save the people here.
[Host's vitality -10. ]
[Host, cumulative vitality -600, severely comatose, ICU. ]
Lin Yan's running action suddenly stopped when she saw this prompt. Her anxious expression disappeared, and she suddenly became extremely calm.
"System, has my vitality been devoured to the point where I need to be admitted to the ICU?" Lin Wei asked.
"Yes."
"When will this disease break out?" Lin Xi's vitality has been being devoured since a while ago, but there is no major abnormality in her body. It can be seen that the sequelae brought about by the devouring of vitality will not occur on the spot, but there will be a time interval.
"Attack in 12 hours." System.
"Very good." Lin Yan's eyes showed murderous intent, "Can you figure out where he is?"
"Host, don't you want to run away? If you run now, you will have to stay in the ICU for a month at most." System.
"One month? Do you know how much it costs to stay in the ICU for a month?" Lin Yan said angrily, "One day of stay can bankrupt me! If he wants to bankrupt me, I'll fight him first."
The system rarely froze for a moment. Is this the power of poverty
"I'm just a divination system." System.
What I mean is that if you can't find someone, and if you don't look for them, I will.
The anger of losing everything made Lin Xi's brain work at high speed. Her IQ reached an unprecedented peak. Her eyes, which were filled with resentment because of poverty, swept across the crowd like lightning.
Everyone in the venue was having their vitality devoured, except for one person, the Devourer himself. The divination system could divine everyone within a three-meter radius around me, so as long as that person appeared within a three-meter radius around me and there was no system prompt, then he was the Devourer.
I will definitely find you!
Then, a magical scene appeared in the conference hall. A witch with her face covered was walking back and forth in the conference hall holding a crystal ball, asking questions to everyone she met.
"Divination?"
Regardless of whether the other person agrees or not, the witch will continue with: "Someone is consuming your vitality."
This scene won the respect of all the cosplayers present: Just based on this sense of conviction, he is definitely a great god.
As Lin Yan finished each divination, the system would sound a prompt indicating that the divination was completed. Until she walked to a loli girl with pink hair.
"Divination?"
The loli girl held up a round flower umbrella, blinked her big eyes with pink false eyelashes and looked at Lin Yan, smiling and said, "Sister, you are so beautiful."
"Thank you." Lin Yan was in a hurry and didn't bother to exchange pleasantries or wait for the girl's consent. She directly told the result of the divination, "Someone is devouring your vitality."
As soon as the words fell, the loli girl's smiling eyes suddenly turned cold, and Lin Yan also raised her head suddenly and stared at the girl.
The air suddenly became quiet.
"How did you know?"
"Oh it's you!"
It was said to be late, but it was fast. Lin Xi raised her hand and grabbed the girl's hair. With a "swish", she pulled off the loli girl's pink wig.
When the loli girl saw her hair being torn off, she screamed and rushed towards Lin Yan like crazy: "Ah, I'm going to kill you, Kumasi, suck all her life force for me."
As the girl finished speaking, the doll she had been holding in her arms suddenly opened its mouth strangely and sucked hard at Lin Yan. Lin Yan felt her eyes go dark, her body went limp, and she was about to fall.
[Host, cumulative vitality -800, five internal organs are failing. ]
"What's going on? Are you fighting?" The venue manager who was nearby heard the girl's scream and rushed over to inquire about the situation.
"No, no, little brother, do you have a place to rest here? My friend has a little hypoglycemia." The loli girl affectionately supported the weak Lin Yan and smiled sweetly at the venue manager who was wearing a Jinyiwei uniform.
How can you not be soft-hearted when such a cute girl smiles at you? The Jinyiwei brother's expression immediately softened, and he pointed in a direction and said, "Go in from that side, there is a lounge, I'll take you there."
"No, no, I'll take her there, little brother, you can go do your thing." After saying that, the loli girl put her arm around Lin Yan's shoulders and walked towards the lounge. Lin Yan was a full head taller than the girl, and the way they supported each other was like a child supporting an adult, but the girl's pace was fast and steady.
"It's a small creature, but it's very strong." The young man from Jinyiwei muttered, but didn't care and turned around to do his own thing.
The loli girl helped Lin Yan into the lounge, and seeing that there was no one around, she loosened her grip and threw the person to the ground.
"You dare to pull my hair? You're looking for death." The loli girl obviously cared a lot about her makeup. The first thing she did after entering the lounge was not to deal with Lin Xi who discovered her secret, but to adjust her wig first.
At this time, after a brief reprieve, Lin Xi had recovered some strength from the rapid consumption of her vitality. She looked at the girl's back and took out "Sadako's long hair" from the inventory.
"Do you think you're the only one with a wig?"
The loli girl turned around suddenly and saw that Lin Yan had also put on a wig at some point, and the quality of that wig was even better than the one she had bought at a huge cost. It was soft and smooth, and her hair quality was so good that it made people jealous.
"Why are you wearing a wig at this time? Are you going to compete with me to see whose wig is more beautiful before you die?" The loli girl snorted coldly, "Even if I kill you, your wig will be mine too."
Who the hell wants to compete with you in wig quality.
Lin Yan supported herself on the ground with one hand and jumped up suddenly. Before the loli girl could react, she grabbed the girl's ankle and dragged her into the TV channel.
"I can't punish you. I'll find someone to punish you." Lin Xi yelled while using all her strength to drag the man into the passage.
Sadako is counting on you, do you still remember the beauty that gave you 20% discount? !
Yes, Lin Yan planned to drag the little girl to find Chen Chu. She didn't know if Chen Chu could deal with this girl, but Chen Chu was the only one who knew her secret. Even if Chen Chu couldn't deal with this girl, at least he would believe what she said. Taking a step back, it didn't matter if Chen Chu couldn't be found. As long as the little girl was dragged out of the venue, the people here could be rescued.
The passage was not long, but Lin Yan dragged the girl to the exit for a long time without success: "Why are you so heavy? My 300-pound pig is not as heavy as you."
"What did you say? I'll kill you!" The loli girl seemed to have her pain point poked. She exploded instantly, grabbed Lin Yan's hair with her backhand, and the two rolled into a ball.
"Why can't you pull your wig off?" The loli girl's hair had been pulled by Lin Yan so hard that she didn't know where it was thrown. But she pulled Lin Yan for a long time and couldn't shake the wig at all.
[While using skills, items cannot be dropped.]
Lin Yan ignored her and pulled the girl's hair, threatening her in a rough voice: "Spit out your vitality."
"I don't, go to hell."
"You don't want to vomit, right? I'll beat you until you vomit." Lin Xi was determined to give it her all. She would die in 12 hours anyway. During these 12 hours, she was fearless.
Chen Chu was watching a band performance outside a shopping mall in Jincheng. The mall was holding an event today and had invited a band to warm up the crowd. The music was very nice.
"Iced coffee." Xie Xingyu came out of the coffee shop next door and handed Chen Chu a cup of coffee.
Compared to Chen Chu's plainness, Xie Xingyu dressed much more fancy. He wore a fashionable and well-designed shirt that showed off half of his chest, an exquisite ponytail, and high-quality sunglasses, all of which told people around him that he was expensive and that women who were not rich should not date him.
"Be happy. Didn't you say you would give me the same home appliances as my new home?" Xie Xingyu said.
"I can buy it for you online." Chen Chu said.
“Buying online is not as good as picking it out in person.” Xie Xingyu.
"You can also choose online. There are more varieties and they are cheaper." Chen Chu.
"Chen Chu, you can't be wrong. We have been brothers for many years, and you treat me like this just to save a few dollars." Xie Xingyu said exaggeratedly.
“…” Chen Chu rolled his eyes at him, stopped talking, and turned to walk into the mall.
"That's right. Now that we're here, we should choose carefully." Xie Xingyu hurriedly followed, "Next time you buy a house, I'll come with you."
"I don't buy a house." Chen Chu said.
"You should buy one. The annual rent of your current house is enough for you to pay the down payment." Xie Xingyu said.
Everyone has a different lifestyle. Chen Chu was too lazy to explain to Jie Xingyu. He just wanted to finish shopping in the mall and go back early, and maybe read a book.
"By the way, Sadako didn't go to the interview." Xie Xingyu suddenly said.
Chen Chu was stunned for a moment before he remembered who the Sadako Xie Xingyu was talking about was: "Lin Yan didn't go to the interview, why?"
"I don't know. Anyway, Assistant Tan said he sent Sadako an interview notice. I waited for her all morning but she didn't show up. Maybe she has found a job." Xie Xingyu said with some dissatisfaction, "Assistant Tan scolded me for this. You said the same thing about Sadako. If she doesn't want to go to the interview, then don't go. At least she should have said something. Are all college students nowadays so arrogant when looking for jobs?"
Has she found a job? That’s fine. Her ability level is not high, so it might be better for her to live in the world of ordinary people.
"I'll give you an extra refrigerator." This was Chen Chu's compensation to Jie Xingyu.
"Then I have to choose carefully." Xie Xingyu didn't have any standards, he just went in and bought the most expensive one.
A tiger roar suddenly sounded above the shopping mall. Everyone looked up and saw a tiger pouncing out from the LCD TV, looking extremely ferocious, as if it was going to pounce and kill them.
"Wow!" There was an exclamation from the crowd.
"Today's 3D animation is so realistic, it looks like the real thing, it scared me."
"If all movies had special effects like this, they wouldn't be criticized for their 50-cent special effects."
Xie Xingyu also praised: "You know what, it's really nice, it's a pity that we can't install such a TV at home, otherwise I would have asked you to buy it for me."
Installing such a TV at home? For some reason, Chen Chu suddenly thought of Lin Yan. There was no way, ever since the TV at home was crawled over, he would always subconsciously think of Lin Yan when he saw the TV.
Perhaps the images that day were too impactful.
The two walked to the entrance of the mall, and the crowd suddenly became agitated. Someone pointed at the LCD screen above the mall and shouted, "Hey, change the video?"
“Why does it feel like someone is crawling out from inside?”
Chen Chu paused and quickly looked up, only to see a woman with long hair covering her face desperately trying to climb out in the middle of the huge LCD screen.
"Oh my god!" Xie Xingyu was so shocked that he took off his sunglasses. "It's Sadako, right? She's so brave, crawling out like this in front of everyone?"
There's no way around it, Sadako's skill in climbing the TV is so unique that even if you can't see her face, you can still recognize her.
"Someone crawled out? Sadako?" A horror movie fan looked up excitedly.
"It's too small to see clearly. Let me take a picture with my phone."
Chen Chu's expression tensed, and just as he was about to take action, he saw the girl on TV crawling back again.
"It's gone. Maybe the screen is broken?" The eldest brother, who had just raised his phone, looked regretful.
"It should be, whoever shows the 3D version of Sadako on the big screen, it will scare people to death, okay."
Xie Xingyu's expression was not very optimistic: "Why do I feel like she was dragged back by someone?"
He is a person with special abilities, and his five senses are much stronger than those of ordinary people. He can see things that others cannot see. Just now he clearly saw that "Sadako" was dragged in by a hand.
Chen Chu also saw it. With a serious expression, he turned around and ran into the mall. After entering, he went straight to the home appliance area.
In the passage, Lin Yan finally climbed to the exit, but was pulled back by the loli girl.
"Don't even think about running away." The loli girl grabbed Sadako's long hair tightly.
Lin Xi was so worried that she almost died. Sadako's long hair was useful, but it was too long and could be easily grabbed by the other party.
These two girls, one has the ability to climb the TV, and the other has the ability to devour vitality, but their physical combat capabilities are very poor. They wrestled in the corridor, but apart from pulling hair and scratching faces, they did not cause any substantial harm to each other.
Seeing that she couldn't climb out, Lin Xi turned around abruptly and raised her hand to grab the doll hanging on the girl's chest.
"Don't touch it!" The little girl covered her doll in panic. Lin Yan didn't listen. She remembered clearly that it was this thing that devoured her vitality. I'm going to die in 12 hours, and I'm still being polite to you.
Lin Yan pinched the doll tightly, not caring whether the doll could understand or not: "Spit out your vitality for me."
"You're dreaming. I've already devoured 90% of your vitality. You'll start to become weak in a while, and you'll die in 12 hours." The loli girl looked at Lin Yan viciously, "No one will know how you died."
"Before I die, I'll kill you first." Although she didn't see it clearly, she noticed it when she climbed out just now. This time the exit seemed to be at a very high place. She didn't find Chen Chu, but she found a place where she could die together with the murderer.
"Get out of here." With the determination to die together, Lin Yan's body suddenly burst out with huge energy and dragged the girl to the exit.
At this time in the shopping mall, Chen Chu had already run to the TV counter, snatched a TV in front of the clerk's astonished eyes, and turned and ran away.
"Fuck, stealing the TV? Stop him and call the police!" It was impossible to stop him. Chen Chu was too fast. Before the staff could react, he had already run away. Just as the clerk was about to call the police, a young man dressed in fancy clothes stopped him.
"No, let's buy it. How much?" Xie Xingyu took out his black card and smiled brightly.
Chen Chu carried the TV bought by Xie Xingyu and ran directly to the emergency passage. After entering, his body turned into wind and disappeared on the first floor. He passed through the hall and reached the top floor of the shopping mall.
On the rooftop, Chen Chu placed the TV on the ground and called out, "Lin Yan?"
The TV screen was silent, without a single movement.
Chen Chu frowned and turned to look at the huge screen outside the mall, unsure whether the girl could hear him.
In the passage, Lin Yan exploded and dragged the loli girl to the exit, but the girl was too heavy. In addition, Lin Yan's body was rapidly weakening, so she could only stretch out one hand and could no longer move.
"Don't even think about taking me out." Although she didn't know what was on the other side of the exit, the fact that Lin Xi was trying desperately to drag her out was enough to prove that the outside was not a good place.
Just as the loli girl regained her balance and Lin Xi was about to be dragged back by her, a warm and dry hand suddenly grabbed Lin Xi's hand.
Lin Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and she immediately grabbed the doll on the girl's body with her backhand. Then, a huge force came from that palm, and before the loli girl could react, she pulled the two of them out.
"Senior Chen Chu?" Lin Xi's eyes lit up instantly when she saw Chen Chu.
Sadako really brought her to see Senior Chen Chu.
Chen Chu looked at the girl's embarrassed appearance, frowned slightly, and raised his hand to help her up.
Lin Yan didn't bother to get up. She pointed at the loli girl who was about to run away and shouted, "Quick, catch her, she's a bad person."
Chen Chu did not put Lin Yan down to catch the loli girl, but continued to help Lin Yan sit up straight, looked her up and down, feeling the girl's weak vitality, and frowned tightly.
"Hurry, she's about to run away." Seeing the loli girl was about to run downstairs, Lin Yan was anxious to chase her.
Chen Chu held her down with one hand, and under Lin Yan's puzzled gaze, he gently reached out his left hand in the direction of the loli girl. An invisible whirlwind was generated around the loli girl, enveloping her and preventing her from moving at all. Then he hooked his finger again, and the whirlwind automatically brought the girl back to Chen Chu's side.
"Let me go, let me go!" The loli girl shouted at the top of her lungs, but she had no power to resist Chen Chu's strength.
"You..." Lin Yan looked at Chen Chu with a shocked expression.
No wonder, no wonder he wasn’t surprised at all when he saw himself crawling on the TV, it turns out he wasn’t normal either.
"Kumasi, suck all his life force." The loli girl suddenly shouted.
"Be careful, her doll..."
Before Lin Ying could finish her words, the doll on the girl was suddenly squeezed and pulled by a huge force, and finally exploded and turned into pieces.
[Host's vitality is 900, and he is in good health. ]
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the large-scale divination task, obtaining 5610 merit points and 0 yuan in divination money." System.
"Because Sadako helped a lot during the battle, Sadako asked for a 10% share. 10% is not too much, I am paraphrasing Sadako's words here. Because the system provides a communication platform between the host and Sadako, the system gives 20%, so the host finally obtains 3927 merit points." System.
Lin Xi, who was originally happy to hear that she had earned 5,000 merit points, turned green when she heard about the series of distributions that followed.
This is a shameless system.
"I am a system. I have no face." System.
“…” Lin Xi.
"How does it feel?" Chen Chu asked the girl.
"Okay, the vitality is back." Lin Xi said happily.
Chen Chu looked at the girl's face which had regained its color, and the worry in his eyes faded.
At this time, Xie Xingyu also caught up, glanced at the situation on the rooftop, and his eyes fell on the face of "Sadako" with disheveled hair, and asked Chen Chu: "What's going on?"
"A D-level lich." Chen Chu said.
"She is so bad. She devoured life force at the comic convention and almost killed hundreds of people." Lin Yan complained.
Xie Xingyu's eyes turned cold as he looked at the lich: "You are quite courageous."
"I didn't. I just wanted to absorb a little life force. I didn't want to kill anyone." The lich knew he couldn't escape, so he hurriedly explained.
"You are lying. You almost sucked me to death." Lin Xi didn't believe it.
"That's because you wanted to kill me, so I fought back."
"You have already devoured nearly 600 of my vitality." She was about to go to the ICU, otherwise she would not have fought with this woman.
"I ordered Kumasi to devour 80 points of vitality per person, and told you to just go back and catch a cold. Who knew you were so weak that your vitality was so easily devoured." The lich argued, "I'm just a D-level mutant. How dare I kill hundreds of people in one go? I can't absorb them even if I kill them."
"Is it still my fault?" Lin Xi was so angry.
"That's right." If it weren't for her, she would have finished smoking and went home long ago.
Lin Xi couldn't stand it, she wanted to go up and beat her.
"Someone is coming, let's leave here first." Chen Chu stopped Lin Xi and gave Xie Xingyu a wink. Xie Xingyu understood and grabbed the lich and walked towards the stairs together.
