The pale golden sky seeped into the room like water? The tall buildings outside the window seemed to be shone with a strong light. The tall clock tower is inlaid in the gray-blue sky, and on the huge dial at the top, the pointer skipped a frame.
Most of the day has passed, and dusk has not yet arrived.
In order not to take back his gaze from the window, the bottom of his lowered eyes seemed to be still stained with a ray of skylight.
He clicked on the latest message on his phone.
Sure enough, it was Chu Kuang's team of three, to be precise, it was sent by An Miaomiao. After the last mission, the three of them became a little more familiar with him, and they would send him some latest news about special affairs from time to time.
"... The last mission was completed, Yunan, you have the highest evaluation for your contribution, and with your accumulated contributions, I guess your internal authority will be raised soon." An Miaomiao's voice came cheerfully, "That's right , that Sealed Artifact has passed the test and was taken in by the Bureau. If you want to know more details, remember to check the APP... "
"... the efficiency is quite high."
Yuan Buwei replied that he received it, so he took advantage of the opportunity to look at the APP of the Special Affairs Bureau. He was quite curious about the effect of that strange glove.
Sure enough, the anomalous incident of "organ predators" that they dealt with not long ago, and all follow-up finishing work, have been completed, and the related sealed artifact has appeared in the containment list of the Special Affairs Bureau .
The cold and calm words unfolded on the screen.
"Hand of Greed" Level 5 Sealed Artifact.
Effect 1: The holder can plunder the organs of any creature within sight out of thin air (provided that the holder himself has basic common sense and corresponding concepts of relevant organs).
Effect 2: Activate the "swallow" ability, which can integrate the plundered organs into the body.
The ability seems to be very strong, but the negative impact, or the price that the holder needs to pay is not small.
Price 1: Inspire the heart of greed.
Those who have greed in their hearts will attract the hands of greed to stay. The Hand of Greed feeds on greed. Once used once, the inflated Greedy Heart will no longer be able to contain it. After several times of use, human nature and reason will be completely distorted by greed, turning into a fallen ghost.
The second price: the predator will eventually be backlashed.
Devouring and fusing other people's organs is time-sensitive. According to the current test data, the shortest three days and the longest fifteen days, foreign organs will have a rejection reaction with itself. When the foreign organs collapsed, new organs need to be devoured and fused continuously. And the more times of phagocytosis, the faster the rejection, so? A vicious circle.
The young man whose name is still unknown, as the holder of the hand of greed, has been controlled by greed since the first time he chose to capture the heart of an innocent person in order to survive, and then he sank deeper and deeper, like an addiction Usually, in a short period of time, the organs on the body have been replaced at least three times. The whole person is nothing more than a pile of skin and flesh, like an evil spirit in a human body.
Thinking of the body left behind by the "evil ghost" when he died that day, Yuan didn't feel that his spirit was polluted: "It's so ugly..."
He hastily flipped through the entire introduction of "Greedy Hand", at the end of the introduction, he suddenly saw a line of special signs: "This is one of the "Seven Deadly Sins". "
"The Seven Deadly Sins..."
For some reason, Yuan Buwei inexplicably remembered the first sealed item "Flame of Hatred" that he came into contact with when he came to this world, and always felt that the two had some faint similarities.
He rummaged through the introduction of "Flame of Hatred", and sure enough? At the end, he saw the same line of special signs: It was suspected to be a sealed item derived from "Seven Deadly Sins".
Last time, this line reminded that there was no such thing.
This was added later? Or was he originally in the information of "Flame of Hatred", only because his authority was increased, so he was able to see the real core information
In order to verify his thoughts, Yuan Buwei went through the list again from the beginning. Sure enough, it wasn't too long since he checked last time, but there were a few more sealed items in the list that he hadn't seen before. Looking at the storage time later, it was clear that they were not put into storage recently.
It should have been on the list long ago, but now he has the permission to see it.
The names of two of them are "Eye of Pride" and "Gate of Lust". One of the "seven deadly sins" is also marked on the profile.
"So?... Sure enough? My authority has been raised?"
For this point, Yuan Buwei is not surprising.
However, he originally thought that all the names of the sealed items were randomly chosen, but now it seems that it is not the case. At least the "Hand of Greed" is not completely unaware of the Secret Affairs Bureau.
Yuan didn't want to poke An Miaomiao again.
Soon, he received a reply from the other party: "You guessed it right, the theory of the seven deadly sins comes from a cult organization that has been destroyed, called the "Original Cult"—of course? This is our statement, they themselves He resolutely refuses to admit that he is a cult. "
According to An Miaomiao, all this can be traced back to a year ago, when all over the world there were sudden changes, weirdness beyond human imagination, all kinds of strange sealed items, ghosts and evil spirits... a lot? The existing scientific system challenges everyone's common sense.
At first, the three major powers were caught off guard, and they didn’t have enough experience in dealing with weirdness and sealed items. A lot of sealed items fell into the hands of some people, and they were regarded as “sacred items” by them, which ignited the ambitions of these people.
Until now, there are still some large and small special organizations around the world, but because of the increasingly strong official crackdown in the past year, most of them have become very secretive and cautious. And as long as they hide and do not commit crimes?, the authorities will not blindly pursue them.
The original cult was one of the first few organizations that appeared at the time, originating from the Aram Alliance. Among them are devout god sticks and careerists who want to take advantage of the situation to rise.
Probably like a poor man becoming rich, the original cult at the beginning acted very ostentatiously, making no secret of the special power in its hands, and perhaps also wanted to deter others with this.
As a result, many people know that there are "seven deadly sins" in the original cult, but what are the abilities of these seven sealed items? We can only know when they use them.
Relying on the power of the "Seven Deadly Sins" and its powerful ability to deceive and brainwash, the primordial heresy has rapidly expanded in the Aram Alliance, which already has a foundation of faith, and the loose Aram Alliance officials have no way to deal with it.
This inflated the ambitions of the original cult, attempting to extend its tentacles to Tianxia and the Stewart Empire—naturally, it ushered in a violent storm of suppression.
The Special Affairs Bureau, which has already begun to have a large scale, joined forces with the Sanctions Office of the Stewart Empire to encircle and suppress the Primordial Cult. The entire organization was completely wiped out. Tianxia seized the "Eye of Pride" and "Gate of Lust", and the Stewart Empire must have seized several sealed items. But neither side has been forthcoming.
After the primordial cult was destroyed, only a handful of lucky ones escaped by chance, and their whereabouts are unknown. The whereabouts of the sealed items taken away by them are also unknown.
Things like "Flame of Hatred" and "Hand of Greed" were recognized immediately after they were taken into custody.
Especially the "Hand of Greed", because the negative impact on the holder is too great, and every time you make a move, you will directly dig out your heart and lungs, but it sounds very evil, and it is definitely not conducive to the mission of the Yuanchu cult among the people. There was also considerable controversy within the early cult, so it has always been regarded as the treasure of the town religion, and has never been used outside.
Later, when the original cult was besieged and suppressed, some people tried to use the "Hand of Greed" to turn the situation around. Another group of magic sticks who hated the evil "Hand of Greed" took it away one step ahead of time, and fled together.
From the beginning to the end, this sealed item could not be used. There is no way for the outside world to know its ability.
Otherwise, with such an obvious ability to deprive organs, once a series of organ loss cases occurs, the Special Affairs Bureau should know that it is the work of "greedy hands".
"Hey, this time it's a coincidence. The top leaders of the Yuanyuan cult are all lunatics. They put a thought stamp on themselves. When they were arrested and now, what secrets do they want to pry out of their mouths? I didn't expect that the first two The Special Affairs Bureau just got a special sealed item, unlocked the thought seal, pried open their mouths, and included all the information on the "Seven Deadly Sins". Only then did the Bureau know that what we contained was actually the "Hand of Greed". "White Chi seemed to be right next to An Miaomiao, and suddenly interrupted, "Yun An, you haven't found out yet, have you found out that the contribution value gained from this mission is extremely rich. "
"Is that so..."
In the loudspeaker of the mobile phone, the young man's voice was a bit stunned, and then he expressed his gratitude very politely.
"—much? Thanks for the message."
Wade White can almost imagine that the young man on the other end of the phone at this time is probably nodding thoughtfully, with a polite and indifferent arc on his lips.
He was flattered almost all of a sudden, and his reply was a bit incoherent: "Ah? Ha, no thanks, no thanks, it's just a small matter? It's just a matter."
Bai Chi's tone subconsciously became a little more cautious. It's like a primary school student facing the dean, or a scumbag facing a big boss who is full of aura.
Can't blame him for making such a big fuss, mainly because he never thought that this "cute new" would be so fierce!
Uncontrollably, he recalled the scene he saw that day.
On the wall and on the floor, monsters composed of countless twisted shadows are scrambling to shrink towards the body of the boy on the bed. The huge shadow is hiding in the body and trembling, and the screams that cannot be heard by the naked ear are impacting one after another. The spirits of the few people seemed to be whining like wild animals.
The powerful spiritual pollution that diffused almost made them feel empathy for an instant when they stepped into the room, and great panic and grief arose deep in their hearts.
It was as if they were the ones who were about to be eaten!
The pitch-black smoke scattered in the room, like a ferocious and terrifying beast pounced on it fiercely, dragging the howling, distorted figure out of its body bit by bit, as if countless sharp mouths opened, biting , Chewing, nibbling away the twisted and huge shadow bit by bit.
The black smoke gushed out with cheers, and gathered back with cheers.
The diffuse black smoke whizzed past from all around, crushing all the wailing, rushing toward the feet of the young man standing in the room, as if blending into his shadow.
A familiar young man was standing in the room with his back to them.
Countless black smoke surrounded him, and a huge shadow filled his surroundings, like a demon king descending.
Recalling the events of that day again? Wade White still feels palpitations.
In fact, his personality is not stable enough. The reason why he was selected by the Special Affairs Bureau is because his spiritual intuition is high enough, which almost touched the ceiling of investigators. In this respect, it is a genius among geniuses.
So, maybe Chu and Kuang didn't feel it deeply, but he actually experienced the great terror from Yuan Buwei.
... It seems that as long as the other party is willing? His fragile soul is like a dessert on the dinner plate to the other party, and he can easily eat it in one bite.
If it wasn't for the group of people returning to the Special Event Bureau after completing the task, and seeing that Yuan Buwei didn't have a red name on his head, and passed the routine inspection of the special event bureau's internal enchantment, Wade White would have raised his hand to verify his name Report - Is this guy really human? ?
...sincerely recommend expulsion from Orz.
Yuan Buwei vaguely noticed the change in Bai Chi's attitude, but he didn't care about it, and treated it like nothing.
He is a very selfish person at heart. Whether other people hate him, fear him, admire him, or worship him, it will not affect him in the slightest.
We will neither give up squeezing because this tool man worships himself, nor solve it once and for all because another tool man hates himself, so as to give up sustainable development and utilization—isn’t that a blood loss? !
The experience in this area can completely be published in a book, using the "Tool Man User's Manual" as a teaching material to guide countless latecomers. Create a blank document on the computer, tap with ten fingers, and record it as important material one by one.
Then, he opened the background of the novel website.
System 999 looked at its host seriously? really? tapping the keyboard?, vaguely saw keywords such as "investigator", etc., and its surprised tone seemed to be seeing the end of the world: [host?, you This is…]
"Of course it's my job. I haven't forgotten that my real job is a novel writer, and I was just a part-time job before."
So you also know that writing novels is your job in this world? Ah, host? If you don’t say anything, this system has forgotten... System 999 can’t control his desire to complain, so he frantically arranges hosts?.
… Codewords, which is the most normal and basic thing for all writers, are placed on their own hosts. Why? Is that so? It feels wrong to associate this writer with a bald head who stays up all night and broods in front of a computer screen every day.
... No, it can't be said that, first kill the enemy, and then write it into the novel as a story, such a special way of writing, well, it seems that other people can't learn it, so? If you think about it, it's not against the peace.
"What are you thinking?? It always feels like something offensive?." The voice of Yuan Buwei suddenly sounded.
His meaningful tone almost made it clear that he knew that System 999 was probably secretly complaining and slandering him.
System 999, who was immersed in his own thoughts, was taken aback, and almost subconsciously blurted out the slander and complaints, but fortunately, he almost stopped at the moment of exit, and stopped on the verge of death .
[cough. ] System 999 sincerely praised, [I'm just too shocked. As soon as I finished my part-time job, I began to write non-stop. As far as the profession of a writer is concerned, the host is really special and excellent. It is worthy of being the host that my system 999 wholeheartedly follows!]
Log Wei raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, his eyes revealing surprise.
"It seems...you seem to have finally learned to hide your thoughts?"
Why? I feel a little regretful in the tone of the host? What does he want to do with this system?? What if I actually said those thoughts? In an instant, various cooking methods flashed through my mind, and the system 999 almost quickly replied:
[No, no, host? You really misunderstood. The reason why I was silent just now was because I was shocked by the host's seriousness and positive attitude towards my job. This system, which is too shallow, has to search hard in the database to find the right words to express my shock, and to express my admiration for the host?]
It is obviously a rigid mechanical sound, but the expression of System 999 is full of rich and full emotions, and every cadence and rhythm can easily affect people's hearts.
Immediately afterwards, a string of smooth, natural, sincere and sincere rainbow farts came out of its mouth. In the end, the system almost shouted "Guard the best host in the world?".
Yuan Buwei nodded as if he didn't care.
Therefore, System 999 passed the test and was exempted from personally experiencing at least a hundred cooking methods in its mind.
It quickly changed the subject, and asked curiously: [Host, do you really intend to write the investigator's experience as material into the novel? Will this involve leaking secrets and attract dissatisfaction from the Special Affairs Bureau?] Then he added with a strong desire for survival, [Of course I am not worried about the host?]
Yuan Buwei raised his eyebrows unexpectedly again.
... This, this system seems to be getting better at talking! Licking skills have obviously improved a lot, what? Is it time to secretly make up lessons
I don’t think it’s because the impression of it is that I love to do it. I always like to be proud and forgetful. After a period of time, it will float up if I don’t hit it. But every time I am hit, it’s very fast. Now this impression has disappeared. slightly changed.
It seems that after following me for so long, the system 999, which always likes to be on the edge of death, has also improved... Inexplicably, I sighed a little regretfully, because I didn't want to redirect my attention to the computer screen superior.
Regarding the matter of using part of the investigator's tasks as material to write into the novel, he had already been on the verge of making a move. After hearing the reminder from the system 999, he told the Special Affairs Bureau by the way.
At present, abnormal incidents are breaking out all over the world more and more frequently, and even the special incidents are deeply powerless. Anyone with a little foresight from the three major forces can realize that if this situation continues and there is no unexpected turnaround, sooner or later they will not be able to cover up, so the truth exposed to all ordinary people.
I heard that Yuan Wuwei wanted to write a novel called "Daily Investigators", but the upper echelons of the Special Affairs Bureau were very interested. Rushing to announce the truth might cause panic. The novels written in this book may be able to subtly prepare ordinary people, so that if the truth breaks out in the future, they will not be caught off guard.
Under such acquiescence, the novel named "Investigator's Daily" began to be written.
It was not because he didn't use his original pen name of "Yunshang", but another one called "Yuanxia?".
The crisp keyboard knocking sounded intermittently in the room.
After about half an hour, Yuan Buwei stopped.
A total of 1,000 characters were neatly lined up on the screen.
"...Okay, let's call it a day." He stretched himself, skillfully took out the sugar bowl, and put two candies into his mouth, "Well, it's another day of hard work."
Wasn't it laziness? Lying on the sofa, he first gave himself a thumbs up, and then sighed endlessly.
Alas, usually he is a little writer who works hard to code words. When abnormal events happen, he is a cute new investigator walking on the front line... After traveling through so many worlds, life in this world is The busiest thing is that there are not even many skilled tools. I really miss the days when there were three thousand bald heads who came to meet each other at one order!
Thinking of it this way, Yuan didn't want to poke the little ball of light.
"How is Zhang Chen's progress?"
During this time?, he didn't completely stock Zhang Chen. After all, he is the only tool person at hand, and he has the only job. Naturally, he will take care of him every once in a while.
For example, when Zhang Chen was offline? When he hooked up with female readers and tried to get fans, what? The hotel elevator malfunctioned, and the ghost crawled out of the elevator, and it appeared.
For another example, when Zhang Chen gradually forgot about the power of Nightmare Space?, he would float up after a few words after being sought after by readers. When he went out to participate in various activities, he would always crash into abnormal events? He would spend a lot of reputation points to get out.
All of the above are too numerous to mention.
And every time he got caught in an abnormal event, Zhang Chen had to quickly consume his reputation points to exchange for one-time skills. This made it impossible for him to save his reputation points, and he has never been exchanged for any permanent skills. Once he leaves the Wenhao system, he is a weak chicken.
After such a long time, Zhang Chen secretly muttered in his heart, suspecting that this was a conspiracy of the Wenhao system.
Every time he is about to save enough reputation to exchange for permanent skills, there will always be an accident, and he has to consume his reputation. However, the effects of those one-time skills are also very different from the buyer's show and the seller's show.
—Don’t look at how powerful it is introduced on the exchange list of the Wenhao system, wait? When he uses it in person, it is simply the difference between Fireball and Little Mars! He had to win by strength, and every time he encountered an abnormal event, he had to exchange a large number of one-time skills, which almost consumed all the accumulated reputation points.
No matter how you look at it, this looks like a conspiracy deliberately designed by the Wenhao system to keep squeezing his reputation. But he didn't dare to turn against him, so he could only hold back aggrievedly? Endure it, his mentality exploded!
Zhang Chen, of course? I don’t know, the Wenhao system is actually not too much, and the retention and return of reputation points is maintained at 9:1.
For example, to buy a skill with a price tag of 10,000 reputation points, Zhang Chen gives 10,000 reputation points, and the Wenhao system will swallow 9,000 of them, and convert the remaining 1,000 reputation points into the energy required by the skill.
But in the middle? There is also a one-time skill that was originally not cut off, but 90% of it was cut off. Finally, it is a one-time skill in Zhang Chen's hands. The essence is actually just a conversion of 100 reputation points. Of course, the power? No way.
Wasn't it because of this middleman? The businessman was so happy to earn the price difference. Not only did Zhang Chenkeng not be taken lightly, but he was also firmly blamed on the Wenhao system. In the original fate plot, they should have been intimate? , Between one person and one system living in harmony? Gradually, cracks appeared.
At least Zhang Chen had a unilateral grudge against the Wenhao system.
Under the arrangement of Yuan Buwei, as long as you go out, you will encounter abnormal events, experience life and death, speed and extreme heartbeat, and finally both your reputation and body will be emptied, and your spirit will be severely injured... something like this? Experience Much worse, Zhang Chen gradually began to doubt life.
... sluggish. jpg
Now he has a complete epiphany, if he goes out, his life will be in danger, and it is the right way to stay at home and work hard to code words to earn reputation points.
Listening to Yuan Buwei asking about his current situation, system 999 immediately replied: [Under the secret guidance and encouragement of the host?, Zhang Chen has already realized the joy of working?, and now he is obsessed with code words, unable to extricate himself. 100,000 words a day is just a side dish, 150,000 words is the standard configuration, once in a while, when I go out, I will deeply reflect on the time I wasted outside, and I can write 200,000 words in one breath...]
... emmm self-examination is false, I'm afraid it's true that I was frightened by the host's series of coquettish operations. Of course? You can only save your life by desperately coding to earn reputation points.
System 999 dared not say anything, and dared not ask anything.
Seeing my own host? Very satisfied? Nodding, pleased that the toolman finally succeeded in the initial training: "I didn't expect him to have such an awareness, not bad, not bad."
System 999 blows rainbow fart with eyes closed, full of sincerity?: [No, all of this is the host?'s credit! The host has really paid too much to transform Zhang Chen to where he is now, it's not easy!]
"Cough, although what you said is the truth, it's embarrassing to boast so much." Yuan Buwei coughed lightly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and said modestly, "I just did a million points of insignificant work? That's all."
He raised his hand and made a gesture of "billion dots" with two fingers.
System 999: […?]
... No, I'm just talking, how do you? So? Will? Shall I give you a little red flower as a compliment? Huh? ?
