After returning to the room, Kidd placed the flashlight vertically in the middle of the table. The light shone on the ceiling and walls, and seemed to be absorbed. Only a very small part was diffusely reflected, and he could barely see the surroundings of the room.
Nuclear power flashlight (triggered): This is a flashlight with unlimited lighting energy. If you only use it for lighting, you don't have to worry about power issues. So in many times and places, this flashlight has played an extraordinary role. It is precisely because of this effect that once it is used, it will witness the deaths of many people and many strange existences, and this time will be no exception.
After looking at the newly triggered task prompt, Kidd fell into deep thought. He had taken out quite a lot of equipment during this period of time. If you had to count, the cross, yellow talisman, and holy water all belonged to the consumable modules of the equipment. But why was it that only the flashlight triggered the side quest
Could it be that the flashlight had been used before, while the others were being used for the first time? This explanation made sense.
As he was thinking about this, Kidd slowly fell asleep.
In his dream, he saw a hideous swineherd holding a big knife covered with black spots. Under his feet was deep filth filled with the wriggling bodies of rats, which made Kid feel sick.
After forcing himself to calm down, Kidd tried to see the swineherd's face clearly. Just when he was about to see it clearly, it seemed as if a nerve in his head suddenly jumped, and Kidd woke up from his dream in an instant.
"Huff, huff~" Kidd breathed heavily, feeling a little weak, sweating all over, and had a little tinnitus.
"steal!"
Kidd used his ability again and temporarily stole the negative state of his body, which could be said to be stealing from himself.
After returning to normal, Kidd looked around and found that Busujima Saeko was gone!
And he still couldn't remember why he fell asleep.
Squeak! Squeak!
Around Kidd, the sound of rats began to sound again. This time, there were more rats screaming and the sound was more obvious.
As the shouting continued, a manic emotion surged in Kidd's heart. His eyes gradually turned red, and he seemed to be a little violent.
"steal!"
Kidd used his ability again to regain consciousness, but this was only a temporary skill. The stolen things could only go to two places, one was the original owner, and the other was in the hands of the thief.
For someone like Kidd, the consequence of stealing myself is that after the duration of the ability is up or Kidd can no longer bear it and actively cancels it, those who were stolen will be returned to themselves with double the effect.
After calming down, Kidd began to identify where the sound came from. It seemed to be from inside the wall? From the cracks in the stone wall
But this is a mouse, not a groundhog, and it has to follow the Basic Law when digging holes, okay!
In his wild thoughts, Kidd felt that his ability was causing more and more mental pressure on him. If this continued, he would drive himself crazy before his energy was exhausted.
There was no other choice but for Kidd to "return" the Book of Secrets first. After his abilities stabilized, he "stole" his own calm emotions without hesitation.
The moment his calmness disappeared, the regenerated restlessness reoccupied Kidd's brain, but because this emotion was not strong enough, Kidd was still able to control himself with reason.
When the tension in his mind reached a certain level, Kidd released all the emotions that he had "stolen".
The conflicting emotions doubled and flooded into Kidd's brain, instantly putting him into a state of confusion.
Fortunately, this was not the first time Kidd had done this. In order to complete the task before, he had "stole" the emotion of fear three times in a row, and then relied on his inner belief and reason to resist the backlash. This time, at least he had calm emotions to mediate.
When his brain was in a mess, Kidd felt that he was seeing hallucinations. The swineherd in his dream seemed to appear in front of him, then raised his sword and chopped him down with one blow.
Facing the foul-smelling sword, Kidd took a step back subconsciously, and then he immediately felt the sharp edge of the blade cutting his skin.
"Steal!" Kidd stole all the emotions in his mind in one breath. He instantly entered a clear state, and reason took over the high ground.
After dodging another knife attack from the swineherd by leaning sideways, Kidd took out a powerful energy recovery potion from his personal space and threw it directly into his mouth.
The outer shell of this potion is made of glass. The powerful potion inside will react with many rubbers, dietary fibers and other things, resulting in a reduction in the efficacy of the medicine. So after taking this sip, Kidd's mouth was full of blood. However, the effect was also very good, and the energy in his body was replenished again.
Hearing "Steal!"
In an instant, the whole world became quiet, and the manic squeaking sound moved away from Kidd at this moment, but Kidd's intuition told him that this distance would not last long.
Kidd, who still had the two stolen items, used "Steal" on the swineherd again, stole the knife from his hand, and then chopped the swineherd on the body with his backhand.
The feedback from the cut was very strange, as if cutting on silicone that had not yet dried. At the same time, an indescribable white colloid appeared on the wound on the pigherd's body.
Thick black mist swirled around the swineherd, and a new knife appeared in his hand.
"return."
The old knife returned to the swineherd's hand. The presence of two knives at the same time made it difficult for the swineherd to hold the handle for a short time.
Squeak!
The noisy sound of mice came back to Kidd's mind again, and there were many dark shadows around him drilling out of the stone wall.
“Return” hearing.
Kidd's suddenly sensitive hearing allowed him to clearly know the number of rats that were drilling out of the stone wall, a total of 233.
"Returning" emotions and "stealing" emotions, Kidd first reset his state of mind.
Then, he threw a poison gas bomb out from the space without hesitation, and light yellow gas gushed out. Due to the high pressure inside the bomb, the poison gas spread to the entire room at an extremely fast speed.
Affected by the poison gas, the swineherd's movements began to deform slightly, but this guy still attacked Kidd relentlessly.
In the "stealing" poisoning state, Kidd first cured himself of the poisoning, then leaned over, holding a talisman in his hand and slapped it directly on the pigherd's chest.
When the thunder talisman touched the filth, it burst into violent lightning, directly covering the pigherd's entire body.
Under the influence of lightning and poison gas, the environment in front of Kidd began to distort, and the next second, everything around him disappeared.
But the things on the stealing position reminded Kidd that what just happened was not all an illusion.
