"Strange things, cursed things, sealed things, contained things...these are its different names..."
"Most of the weird things are very dangerous and need to be contained and sealed! This is the only thing we can do!"
Mei Li poured a cup of tea and continued.
"Why... seal them?" Hejie asked strangely.
"Why?" Meili looked at Hejie strangely: "Because they are very dangerous. No matter what form they take, they are malicious to humans! In other words, they are the same as the road you encountered.
Killing like crazy!"
"indeed……"
Hejie realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He thought that the strange thing should be a notebook because he thought that nothing bad ever happened to him, saved his life, and was very useful.
Now it seems that the notebook in my hand is an alternative among weird things!
But the next question continued to arise: "Why do they... keep killing people?"
"I don't know. In short, it's not out of resentment or purpose. It's just killing for the sake of killing!" Meili replied.
‘Perhaps, he is actively or passively collecting ‘spirituality’, just like a set ‘program’!” Fang Xian added silently in his heart while listening.
After growing eyes, he was finally able to feel the movement of the outside world and quickly learned the local language.
"Wait, that road?" Hejie asked again: "What exactly is it?"
"Well, the strange thing you encountered was recorded in the file before, codenamed 'No Loop'... To solve a strange case, you must find its root. The root of this strange case is that
road!"
Meili said: "It will appear randomly throughout the city, disguised as an ordinary street. When you walk in, it will become a closed loop!"
She picked up a piece of paper on the table: "This is that road. When the prey enters, it rolls up and connects head to tail, so you can't escape no matter how you run... And all the people it kills,
It will stay on that road forever and become a fixed image, or in other words, become a 'derivative' of it..."
"But... we ran out." Hejie whispered.
"This is the second characteristic of weirdness that I want to tell you. Only weirdness can restrain weirdness!"
Meili smiled: "You held a strange object in your hand and used its ability to get out of the dead end alive and save those three classmates! We will use this strange object to
A person is called a sword bearer. Of course, you can also call yourself a spiritualist, an exorcist, a custodian...it all means the same thing."
"Characteristics?" Hejie asked, "What is it?"
"We have summarized the laws of weird cases, such as the first one, the law of immortality of weirdness! The second one, only weirdness can restrain weirdness! And the third one, when using weird items, you must pay a 'price'!
"
Meili's expression became very solemn: "Because only the weird can restrain the weird, so institutions like ours that specialize in handling weird cases all train 'sword-wielders'... However, some weird items have too terrifying sequelae.
Then it cannot be used and can only be sealed. At the moment, it seems that you are quite lucky!"
"The sword holder...does the sword he holds have a double edge?" Heijie murmured, suddenly grabbing his schoolbag tightly.
He knew that something was very wrong with his notebook, and there seemed to be no cost in using it.
Such a strange thing might lead to robbery? Or forced expropriation?
He suddenly became nervous and stared at Mei Li.
"Are you worried that I will snatch away your weird things? I'm afraid you are overthinking..." Meili seemed to see his inner thoughts and shook her head: "Although some captains will choose to do this, I will observe your state.
Very good and mentally normal, which means you can control that weird thing perfectly, so I tend to absorb you as one of us. Otherwise, do you think I would work overtime to chat with you for so long and tell you so many things?
?”
"After joining you, do I have to fight against those weird things?"
Hejie swallowed: "Is it too late for me to quit now?"
"What do you think?" Meili's face showed a half-smile expression.
…
"We hide in darkness and have no chance of honor!"
"We swear to protect this world and fight against the strange!"
"We are sword-holders, and one day we will die by the sword!"
…
Meili took Heijie and began to swear an oath.
After that, she smiled and said: "Welcome, Heijie, to become a member of our secret organization. Well, you can give yourself a code name. From today on, it will replace your name in the files...
"
"Why do you need to replace the number?"
Hejie asked doubtfully.
"Because some weird objects are very dangerous and can curse you if they know your name, so our organization used the ability of another contained object to erase its own name. This is also a kind of protection... Could it be that you
Do you think the name of our organization is called a secret agency?"
Mei Li looked at him and said.
"Okay... I, I'll call you 'Crow'."
Hejie held his notebook and felt that the world was so dangerous for the first time.
"Very well, Crow, get ready and follow me to solve the 'no loop' tomorrow!" Meili smiled and said, "By the way, my Meili is also a fake name."
"Why do I feel...that there is no one left for you..." Hejie said with a sad face: "You just caught me temporarily?"
"Have you discovered it? There have been too many weird cases recently, and the sword holder died too quickly. There is nothing I can do..." Meili scratched her head: "If I confiscate your weird things, I will wait until a new one is qualified."
I don’t know how long it will take for the killer to appear...but the point of no return is imminent."
"Well, although the mortality rate of newcomers is very high, and it is a bit miserable that you have to face the extremely dangerous No-Loop for your first debut, but if you think about it carefully, it may be your chance! I remember the headquarters
There is a sword-wielder who was temporarily arrested. Just like you, he started working on the most dangerous and mysterious cases without any training, and now he has grown into a big shot in the dark world..." Meili consoled her.
"You might as well not say anything..." Hejie cried sadly.
"By the way, you also need to register the ability of your weird object. You don't need to go into too much detail..."
"I...I can add a name to my blood and curse any creature!" Heijie thought for a while and hid some abilities.
"so so……"
Meili's expression was a little disappointed: "It's very powerful against people, but it's basically useless against root things... Do you think a road, a knife, or a pencil can have the concept of 'blood'? At most, it can deal with some of them."
'derivative'……"
Heijie suddenly thought of the corpse that he had cursed into bones.
