Episode 005. Walking in a Dark Alley Alone

The weird thing immediately hid in the corner of the alley.

It peered at this man, everything was very strange.

Why did he bring himself here, why did he lock himself in this place, and what did he want?

Weirdness has some instincts. It knows that it is no longer human and cannot coexist with humans. Even just contact will bring certain pollution.

The call of the great being sleeping underground made everyone's will boil, but it had no effect on this man.

It's very curious.

More fear.

Ordinary mortals will inevitably panic, tremble, and run away desperately when encountering such a weird thing, while some people who have transcended the extraordinary will try to kill, expel, and seal it.

But this man in front of me.

unknown.

It only feels unknown.

It cannot guess what the other party wants to do, it cannot understand what it will encounter next, and it cannot know what will happen in the end.

Although it's a joke from hell to say this, the desire to survive now occupies the dead man's polluted soul.

It started trying to attack the man.

The black mist with strong mental pollution swept through the dark alley like a strong wind, heading towards Qi Lin's position.

But Qi Lin just took out his phone and looked at the time.

"It's not quite there yet."

He said something, and instantly, the wind froze.

The black mist was just stuck in place, like a frozen movie scene.

It was so shocked that it couldn't understand.

Just like a cat playing with a mouse, Qi Lin is dominating this weird behavior.

For Qi Lin, this is indeed very simple. Based on his own rating, the weird thing in front of him is a little more powerful than the lowest level.

It can be crushed to death with two fingers.

But it did have some interesting aura about it, which made Qi Lin feel a little familiar.

It's not yet twelve o'clock, and he won't be able to solve this weird problem before the time required by the mission.

It was boring to just wait, so he reached into the black mist and pulled out a semi-solid ball like wool.

That thing looked like a ball of wool vomited out of a cat's mouth. The black mist on it formed tentacles that were constantly squirming. There seemed to be colorful black brewing inside, and further inside, it was as gray as a dead star.

Spherical core with silence.

This is the body of this weird thing, and the black mist is all generated from it. It can also be said that if this place is destroyed, the weird thing can be eliminated directly.

Under normal circumstances, it is certainly impossible for this thing to be taken out like this, but this is Qi Lin, who has seen countless weird things, and he can easily do this kind of small battle.

After mastering this technique, Qi Lin often said heartfelt words to weirdos, and this time was no exception.

Qi Lin put it in front of him and sniffed the smell.

A nauseating stench flooded into his nostrils, filled with the smell of rotting corpses and the fermentation smell deep in the sewers. It only took a moment to smell it, and it was enough to make him vomit up yesterday's breakfast.

In this smell, Qi Lin saw the life of the deceased who became the core of this weirdness.

Just like watching a movie.

Qi Lin usually uses this method to see the causes of these weird things, and records them to warn future generations.

Happy families are all alike, and every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

If all the causes of weirdness could be analyzed and recorded, we might be able to avoid similar tragedies from happening again in this world.

Qi Lin thinks so.

After reading this weird life story, Qi Lin could only lament that things are unpredictable. This classmate just felt unwell and died suddenly while hiding in the radio station cabin he secretly set up to conduct illegal broadcasts.

Because this hut was extremely secluded and was an abandoned basement of an unfinished building. At that time, there were not to mention hundreds of similar buildings in counties across the country, but there were at least dozens of similar buildings. Therefore, his body was not found.

Instead, it survived until it became completely corrupt.

If there is any lesson to be learned from this, it is that it is best to tell your family where you are when you go out, and do not broadcast illegally.

Qi Lin thought of this and confirmed the names and addresses of the other party's family members. He was ready to notify them and at least bury the bones.

Thinking of this, Qi Lin put the weird core back and released control over it.

The black mist immediately dispersed in all directions, hiding in the shadows like a frightened bird, trembling.

"Don't worry, I just got the names and addresses of your family members."

Qi Lin said kindly to the air.

After hearing his words, Weird immediately became more frightened.

Although it no longer has human reason, it still feels frightened when it hears similar words.

"I will take care of them properly."

"?"

Its black mist constitutes a question mark.

Qi Lin looked at the time and saw that it was already midnight.

"Time is up."

He murmured to himself and came to the middle of the dark alley.

The black mist did not come out and try to attack Qi Lin, because the previous interaction had already made it understand that this human being was not something he could deal with at all, and he could only wait to die in front of him.

Well, I've already died once, so that's okay.

Qi Lin looked at the empty streets, feeling a little troubled.

Fortunately, the system tasks do not require that you have to let the monster attack you before you can fight back.

Qi Lin's eyes glowed. He glanced at the street and quickly discovered the weird hiding place.

"Don't worry, it's just a momentary thing, you won't feel any pain."

As he spoke, he came to a corner of the alley.

Under the dim street lights, Qi Lin's shadow became darker and darker, obscuring the black fog.

Qi Lin stretched out his hand, and the weird thing was picked up like a panicked rabbit.

"Rest in peace."

he read.

The next moment, with the crisp sound of glass shattering, the weird core was completely crushed and turned into powder.

The entire black mist also gradually dissipated, disappearing amid a silent wail.

At the same time, Qi Lin saw that the fallen leaves on the ground were twisted, forming indifferent and cold words.

【Welcome to the Quiet Place Again】

"It seems interesting."

Qi Lin touched his chin and stared at the words on it.

Suddenly, he felt that something was watching him from behind. This feeling he had not experienced for a long time, and a sense of terror made his hair stand on end.

Looking back, Qi Lin saw a foreign man standing at the end of the dark alley, wearing a long trench coat and a deerstalker hat, with a heather pipe in his mouth.

"Hey, I originally thought there would be some unclean things here, but I didn't expect that someone else got there first?"

He walked out of the shadows, and the light illuminated the other person's face. It was an unshaven, unkempt face that looked unreliable.

"Huh? Are you the chosen one from this foreign land? What a coincidence."

When the other party came to Qi Lin, even in Qi Lin's view, this man had a strong sense of oppression.

"Let me introduce myself. I am a detective. My name is Drizzt. You can call me Lao Cui."

The other party said, extending his hand towards Qi Lin.
