"This incident was screened and discovered through our official account."
"The person who provided the incident was a student from a nearby university. She reported to us on the public account an unusual incident related to her cousin."
"The incident happened in October last year. Her cousin picked up a cat from outside and kept it in the apartment. Since then, her cousin has changed her original lively and active personality and gradually became a homebody.
I went out for runs, stopped going shopping, refused all gatherings with friends, and even got to the point where I didn’t even go to school. I stayed in the apartment all day, and never stepped out of the apartment no matter how my family and relatives tried to persuade me.”
"Even if she stayed in the apartment, her cousin couldn't cook by herself. Apart from ordering takeout, she would ask family members or her to deliver meals and snacks. She would sit in front of the TV with her cat in her arms and watch TV all day long."
"Because my cousin's change was too sudden, and everything started from picking up the cat, she suspected that her cousin's change was related to the cat." Li Kaixin narrated, looked at Lin Ze, and said seriously, "You should
I also know that the attributes of monsters are derived from the seven deadly sins. This happened to remind us of the attribute of laziness, so after seeing the other party’s message, I immediately contacted her. After gaining her trust, I immediately asked for her address and
Went to investigate, and sure enough we found the scent of a monster near her cousin’s apartment!”
Lin Ze looked thoughtful and asked in a deep voice: "I have a question, have you determined the level of the monster?"
If it's a lower-level monster, Li Kaixin and the other two can deal with it on their own without seeking cooperation with him. But if it's an intermediate-level monster, none of them are elite, so how can they be sure it's an intermediate-level monster?
Li Kaixin shook his head: "We didn't realize it was an intermediate monster at first. We thought it was just a low-level monster. However, when I was investigating, there happened to be another player who was also investigating the monster. As a result, after he entered the apartment, he kept
He didn't come out until the morning, so I became suspicious and asked Zhang Neng to send a few summons to sneak into the apartment."
"What's the result?"
It was Zhang Neng who answered: "There are three summons in total. Together they can resist lower-level monsters for at least several minutes. However, they lost contact within ten seconds after entering!"
Li Kaixin continued: "At this point, we have confirmed that the monsters in the apartment are not low-level monsters at all, but mid-level monsters!"
"So you are planning to sneak in tonight and kill that monster?"
"We are planning to take action tonight, but we are not planning to sneak in." Li Kaixin shook her head, "I have contacted the source of the incident and am going to ask her to take us to the apartment. She is the cousin of the owner of the apartment and often comes in and out of the apartment.
The monsters shouldn't be too wary of her, we can follow her in and find out the situation before taking action!"
Lin Ze frowned: "Aren't you afraid of involving that person in the battle?"
"Before taking action, we will send her out of the apartment. As for the memory, after the monsters are dealt with, the scavengers will naturally help us deal with the aftermath. Isn't this okay?" Li Kaixin said confidently.
"Then how are the points obtained distributed?"
"Fifty-five points!" Li Kaixin was obviously prepared and said seriously, "You are an elite player and the strongest, but our team will also contribute in this battle, and we also found the monsters, so you and our team will get the points.
Half and half, that’s not too much, right?”
Lin Ze thought for a few seconds, nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
Then he said, "Then let's go see the person involved now?"
"I made an appointment with her to meet here. She should arrive soon."
As soon as Li Kaixin finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon." Li Kaixin winked at Zhang Neng, who stood up and opened the door, welcoming the girl outside.
"Hello."
The girl walked into the lounge and looked around. When she landed on Lin Ze, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and exclaimed:
"Lin Ze!"
Lin Ze also had a look of surprise on his face, he didn't expect that the person coming was Yang Xiaomeng.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
I remember the first time I met Kaixin Li in Keyaki Square, he had just helped Yang Xiaomeng carry two large bags of snacks to the door of an apartment. At that time, Yang Xiaomeng said that the snacks were bought for her cousin.
Looking back now, it turns out that her cousin was haunted by the monster at that time, and the latter was hiding in the apartment!
Perhaps it was because he was only a warrior-level player at that time and his monster aura sensing skills had not yet been upgraded, so he could not detect the aura of intermediate-level monsters.
"Wait, if that's the case, shouldn't Li Kaixin have known that Yang Xiaomeng and I knew each other earlier? She had seen the two of us walking together, why didn't she tell me in advance that the person involved was Yang Xiaomeng?" Lin Ze suddenly reacted and turned to look at Li Kaixin,
The latter seemed to have a guilty conscience and immediately turned his head to avoid his sight.
this guy
"Lin Ze, why are you here?" Yang Xiaomeng was obviously very surprised.
Lin Ze was slightly startled, still thinking about how to deal with it, but Li Kaixin already said: "He is my friend, and I called him here to help this time."
Yang Xiaomeng had an "I see" look on her face. From the look on her face, she seemed to have no memory of the last time she met Kaixin Li at Keyaki Square.
But then I thought about it. At that time, Kaixin Lee was wearing a mobile food truck clerk uniform, which really made it difficult to leave an impression.
"Without further ado, let's go to the apartment now!" Li Kaixin clapped her hands.
Everyone did their best to leave the lounge and walk towards the apartment.
On the way, Lin Ze made an aside and asked Yang Xiaomeng about the abnormality that happened to her cousin.
"Xiao Ning used to be very cheerful and active, but since she picked up the cat, she has become lazy. She doesn't go out of the house and does nothing. She just hugs the cat and watches TV all day long, as if she is possessed by a demon.
I was worried, so I sought help online, and finally found the official account 'Supernatural Everything House'." Yang Xiaomeng explained, "This official account is quite famous, and I heard that it has solved many supernatural incidents."
Hearing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but glance at Li Kaixin. It seemed that she was not praising him. The public account created by their team was indeed quite famous in the local area.
After thinking about it, Lin Ze asked again, "After the incident happened, didn't you think of calling the police or seeking medical treatment?"
"this"
Yang Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, as if he only remembered that there was such a measure at this time, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that before?"
Seeing her expression, Lin Ze and Li Kaixin looked at each other and understood at the same time.
It seems that the monster's ability is at work!
"Tell us about the cat's condition." Lin Ze interrupted Yang Xiaomeng's meditation.
"Oh, oh, okay." Yang Xiaomeng came back to her senses, pondered for a while, and seemed to be organizing her words. After a while, she frowned slightly and said, "That cat, how should I put it, looks like an ordinary home."
There is no difference between a cat, but it feels weird and a bit spooky. Except for Xiao Ning, no one is close to it, but we have no intention of getting close to it. "
"Also, that guy is very lazy. Xiao Ning has to feed it himself every time he eats. Moreover, he eats a lot of miscellaneous food, such as rice, bread and potato chips. He eats everything. He is almost no different from humans. He is not like a human being at all.
A cat.”
Lin Ze listened attentively and nodded secretly.
It seems that the cat is definitely a monster. Ordinary domestic cats don't have such a good appetite.
After asking for a few more details, Lin Ze just stopped asking.
"Do you really have a way to solve Xiao Ning's anomaly? Sorry, I don't want to question you, but" Yang Xiaomeng looked hesitant to speak.
"Don't worry, we are professionals." Li Kaixin snapped her fingers.
While talking, the group had already entered the community and took the elevator to the apartment floor where Yang Xiaomeng's cousin Zhou Ning lived.
As soon as he came out of the elevator door and before he reached the apartment door, Lin Ze could clearly feel the breath of monsters filling the air that made his chest feel tight.
It is indeed the scent of an intermediate monster!
Lin Ze's eyes met Li Kaixin's, and Lin Ze nodded to her imperceptibly.
Seeing this, Li Kaixin, Luo Ling and Zhang Neng couldn't help but look solemn.
From Lin Ze's mouth, they already knew about the upgrading of monster breath sensing skills, and that elite players can distinguish the breath of intermediate and low-level monsters. Seeing Lin Ze confirm his previous guess about the target level, they couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Silence and vigilance.
It is an intermediate monster after all!
The monster's aura reached its peak in front of the apartment door, and was so strong that it was almost substantial.
"Zhang Neng, please stay outside and support us at any time."
Standing in front of the door, Li Kaixin turned to look at Zhang Neng and lowered her voice.
Zhang Neng's ability is on the summoning side, and his own combat effectiveness is not high. When in danger, it is of little help other than holding him back. It is more appropriate to stay outside for support.
Zhang Neng knew his family affairs, so he simply agreed upon hearing this, then took out a stack of lifelike paper figures from his pocket and handed them to Li Kaixin.
Yang Xiaomeng on the side looked at his actions with some confusion. Are these talisman papers? But they don't look like them. They feel like two-dimensional character drawings. Is there any special use?
Li Kaixin took the paper manikin and had no intention of explaining it to Yang Xiaomeng. Instead, she solemnly told her: "Remember, if something happens, you should escape from the apartment immediately. Don't hesitate. Zhang Neng will meet you outside."
, as for the things inside, we will solve it!"
Yang Xiaomeng turned her head and glanced at Lin Ze. Seeing the latter gently nodding, she pursed her lips and nodded in agreement: "I understand."
"Okay, then open the door."
Yang Xiaomeng took out the key from the small bag and opened the lock with a click. Just as she was about to push the door open, Lin Ze gently held her arm down.
"I'll go in first." Lin Ze said lightly, stepped forward, opened the door and walked into the apartment.
He is the strongest among everyone present. If he walks in front, it will be easier to deal with danger.
As the door opened, bright sunlight filtered in, dispelling the darkness in the apartment, and clearly presented the scene inside to everyone's eyes.
