Chapter 11 Code

"Emergency news, this evening, the Security Department found a criminal gang hiding in the XXX community in the old city of the border city and immediately arrested them. The criminals resisted stubbornly, and a fierce gun battle broke out between the two sides. In the end, the Security Department successfully killed all the criminals. And began to further investigate. Any citizen with clues can call. The following is a live report."

In a dark basement, the radio made sounds one after another.

And on the bed in the dungeon, a man in his thirties suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were full of surprise.

At the last moment, he saw the shocking scene through the corpse he controlled.

This was completely beyond his plan.

He did guide the handler to find the community, but the speed of the handler's arrival was much faster than he imagined.

So that the virtual creature was besieged immediately after it was born, before it had time to grow.

There was no problem at all. The virtual creature summoned by the ritual was very powerful. Ordinary psychics would probably be overwhelmed by fear and unable to exert effective combat power.

As a result, among that team of handlers, there was actually a strong man who could hunt down the virtual creatures?

Damn, what was wrong with the plan?

Aren't they newcomers? What newcomer could hunt down the virtual creatures like this?

"What is the variable? We must let the people in the church find out the identity of that person!" He suppressed his surprise and walked out of the basement quickly.

No matter what happened, he couldn't stay in the giant city any longer.

Now, the church has no capital to confront the giant city head-on.

"But next time, I will definitely take you to a new world!" He whispered and sneaked into the night.

On the other side, downstairs in the community.

With the arrival of the handler support team and the guard hall support force, the chaotic scene was quickly controlled.

Li Yelai was also watched by several handlers, and their expressions were different.

Before, he chased down the virtual creatures in seven steps in the air, which shocked them greatly.

So, the senior handlers nodded slightly to Li Yelai, but did not speak. Instead, they quickly scattered to rescue the wounded or recover the monster corpses.

Li Yelai had no choice but to wait by the broken car, waiting for Cheese and others.

The action just now was actually very risky. Li Yelai did not fully master the air stepping. The principle of air stepping is to condense the air with a psychic barrier, allowing psychics to land in a very short time. So as to perform multiple jumps.

Due to the emergency situation, Li Yelai just followed the feeling of Xiang Yu performing air stepping in the battlefield illusion.

Unexpectedly, it succeeded in one fell swoop, and also smashed Cheese's car. Hiss, she didn't know if she could write off her new car.

Soon, he saw Xinghuo, who had lost consciousness and had a broken arm, being quickly pushed into the ambulance. The anxious Shadow Stream followed closely behind.

Also pushed into the ambulance were some commandos who participated in the battle.

"The power of psychics comes from the virtual world, so when facing virtual creatures, we can still remain rational and even fight to the death. But ordinary people will have a high probability of mental breakdown after looking directly at virtual creatures." Cheese came to Li Yelai, patted his "new car" regretfully, and responded: "We won, and the virtual creatures did not cause more casualties. But we also lost completely."

I wanted to say that the new car was smashed by the monster and stabbed by himself. Li Yelai was stunned when he heard the words.

Then, looking at Cheese, he found that she fell into silence when she looked at the middle-aged men and women crying not far away.

A few seconds later.

"Those are the parents and relatives of the missing children," Cheese said faintly: "They have learned part of the truth. Some of them will choose to forget, and some will choose revenge, which will also drive their future lives. Just like me back then."

Li Yelai's face froze, and he thought of the dead children.

Yes, even if the weird virtual creature was killed, those children were still killed.

It was really a complete loss.

And this is what the handler has to face.

The two sighed and remained silent for a long time.

"However, I still have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have been eaten up. You are my savior, so I won't let you pay for the car. Of course, I won't give myself to you either." Cheese reached out and patted Li Yelai's shoulder and smiled.

"Give myself to you? Then I'm always at a disadvantage." Li Yelai complained, thinking that if you really want to give yourself to you, I don't have to pay for the car, right?

Cheese pinched his shoulder unhappily and continued, "Thank you for taking the risk and expelling the virtual creature. There was no increase in casualties."

"Expel?" Li Yelai was stunned, and instantly looked in the direction of the monster's corpse and asked in surprise, "Is he still alive?"

"Dead but not dead, uh. It's not accurate to say that."

Cheese sorted out some words: "This virtual creature came to the physical world through some taboo ritual. Although you killed his physical body, you only exiled him back to the virtual world.

Unless it is a psychic with a high number of awakenings, or using some special taboos. Otherwise, it is impossible to completely kill the virtual creature. They will still come to the physical world after finding an opportunity."

Li Yelai couldn't believe it: "Even if we paid a lot of price and casualties, and killed the virtual creature again and again, he is still alive?"

It's like a video game. No matter how the characters die in it, the players in the real world will be fine.

On the contrary, the power in the level will be eliminated through the repeated death of the character.

At the same time, gaining experience will make you more skilled and powerful!

This is a completely unequal confrontation!

"Fortunately, except for those disaster restricted areas entrenched in the wilderness. It is basically difficult for other virtual creatures to come to the physical world." Cheese said: "Of course, the premise is that there is no human to help them."

Li Yelai suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He found a possibility.

After trading with the black shadow, he obtained the power of the faceless. And the skinner he killed was sacrificed to the black shadow.

Now, he killed the virtual creature. Does it mean that this virtual creature will also be sacrificed to the black shadow?

In this case, can the virtual creature still survive?

If not, it means that Li Yelai actually has the ability to completely eliminate the virtual creature!

However, this will have to wait until the next dream to confirm. Maybe the black shadow is very picky and doesn't eat creatures in the virtual world.

Then, Cheese said: "I wanted to train your psychic skills. I didn't expect you to learn so quickly. I guess your code will be given tomorrow."

Li Yelai's weird learning ability allowed him to master the skills of psychic barrier and air stepping in one day.

It is enough to become a qualified handler.

But the weird talent made the entire senior management feel frightened.

For this reason, the senior management notified Cheese not to reveal Li Yelai's talent.

Mastering two skills at once is too scary.

And mastering two skills in one day is scary enough, but it is also a kind of protection for Li Yelai.

Cheese agrees with this.

And said: "And if you kill the creature in the virtual world, the bonus and merit points will come down soon."

Li Yelai nodded, and then raised the scarlet long knife in his hand.

Cheese took a look and said, "This is your trophy. After registering it, you can choose to deal with it yourself. You can sell it to the equipment department in exchange for merit points. You can also use it yourself. But it's best not to be discovered by the outside world."

Discovered?

Li Yelai silently looked at the sword that was half a person's height, with a half-person-high blade and a half-person-high handle, and there were several eyeballs on the blade.

How to hide such a thing?

Li Yelai actually wanted to keep this scarlet sword. After all, it was a psychic weapon, and it felt good, which could greatly strengthen himself. When you encounter danger, you don't have to be so passive.

But. You can't patrol around with this sword, right?

"You can also let the branch keep it. Before the mission, the branch will deliver the weapon to you. Of course, if an emergency occurs, you may not have time to wait for the weapon. So, it's best to go to the preparation department to configure a weapon or firearm suitable for hiding." Cheese suggested.

Li Yelai nodded, but sighed as he looked at the blocked streets.

Cheese was a little strange, but quickly reacted: "Yes, your curse has been triggered again. You can't walk on the street at this time."

Through the previous battle, Cheese has a deeper understanding of Li Yelai's curse.

It was a fateful causal curse, and everything around seemed to be emitting malice towards Li Yelai.

Originally, the accident with a small probability became inevitable after the curse was triggered.

For example, the manhole cover in front of Cheese stepped on it, and there was no problem at all. And when Li Yelai, who triggered the curse, stepped on it, it was estimated that the manhole cover would have problems.

Either it was directly broken, or it was suddenly flipped. In short, all "accidents" are possible.

If Li Yelai had dealt with the virtual creatures on the street before, they would probably have been hit continuously by dozens of cars parked on the roadside, right?

Cheese thought.

Maybe the reason why Li Yelai encountered the skinner was also related to this bad luck.

"You still have to strengthen yourself, your bad luck is too terrible." Cheese sighed.

Li Yelai nodded and agreed. This is also the reason why he agreed to join Yang Chen's team.

"By the way, which teams will Xinghuo and the others be assigned to? Will they be our teammates?" Li Yelai asked. After today, everyone is considered a comrade-in-arms.

Cheese responded: "Detective is planning to join the logistics team, which is the sixth team. After experiencing this battle, he found that he was really not suitable for fighting.

And Shadow Stream still plans to follow her brother Xinghuo.

Xinghuo will wait until his arm is reattached. In fact, he performed well, whether facing the strange woman or the virtual creature. But he encountered a special enemy. I hope it won't hit his self-confidence.

And the heavy cavalry, a very talented and powerful girl. She is actually similar to you. Half a month ago, she encountered a victim. Under stimulation, she awakened as a True Martial Path Psychic. And tore the victim apart alive. Her strength is also the strongest among the newcomers. If she fights alone, she is not weaker than you. She joined the third team."

"Then which team are we in?" Li Yelai asked in surprise. Yes, it was the second day of becoming a handler, and he didn't know his team yet.

"In fact, you will know tomorrow that we are the first team of the Border City Disaster Management Department!" Cheese smiled calmly: "Once upon a time, we were the ace, the team known as the champion."

Once upon a time? Li Yelai was a little confused: "But not now?"

Cheese nodded faintly, but did not continue.

After a while, Li Yelai walked away from the scene and returned to the apartment after making sure that his curse was no longer continuing.

He entered the house only after making sure that there was no blood or wounds on his body.

After a quarrel with Li Yunyan, he fell asleep.

Sure enough, he saw the strange light and fog again. The environment was the same as before, and the tentacle holding the mask was already in front of Li Yelai.

And the ugly virtual creature was indeed in a dream.

At this moment, the monster was completely without the previous publicity and terror, but knelt on the ground with trembling knees, and kowtowed to Li Yelai repeatedly. His face was full of fear and pleading.

He. Was he afraid of himself? Or was he afraid of the shadow?

What was the identity of this shadow?

Li Yelai was indeed a little surprised when he saw the monster's expression, but that was all. This kind of monster is the enemy of mankind, there is no pity!

The next moment, the long-lost tentacles in the fog stretched out and dragged the virtual creature into the depths of the fog with screams.

Then, there was a numbing chewing sound.

But this time, the black shadow did not give the white mask again.

Is it because the sacrifice is not enough?

Or is the demand for sacrifices becoming greater?

Li Yelai thought about it, but still did not take the white mask.

Instead, he looked into the depths of the fog and shouted: "Mr. Ying, is he dead? Eat him up!"

In the fog, the black shadow ignored him.

Li Yelai continued to shout: "Next time I want to trade with you, what code should I give?"

The black shadow still ignored him.

"Is Makabaka okay?"

The black shadow waved and threw Li Yelai out of the dream.

Li Yelai could not help but complain. Treating customers like this, he has a bad temper!

The next day, Li Yelai returned to the antique shop to start work. On the way, he secretly practiced stepping in the air.

When there is no mission, the official does not need to patrol, and does not care about the private activities of the handlers.

It seems that they want the handlers to hide in the market.

This is normal, the border city has a population of tens of millions. Even if all the handlers went on patrol, they would not be able to find anything.

Therefore, the handlers have different identities. Some are teachers, some are college students, and some are white-collar workers, etc.

In addition to the secret agreement, if they have never met each other,

even if they meet, they will not know that the other party is their colleague.

Just when Li Yelai was thinking whether there would be any colleagues among the previous customers.

The official communicator on his arm made a sound.

He took advantage of the fact that no one was around and quietly opened it.

He found that it was two messages sent to him by the official.

[Mr. Li Yelai, thank you for your efforts in the mission, and you will receive a bonus of 20,000 Giant City Coins and 20 merit points. There are currently 30 merit points]

Li Yelai was very happy to see it, 20,000 Giant City Coins! Another 1/40!

And 30 merit points are actually a lot, enough for Li Yelai to match a set of equipment or a psychic weapon.

If necessary, you can sell it to your colleagues in exchange for cash.

Of course, Li Yelai did not consider this. His goal was to save up points to buy items to suppress the curse. Now he didn't even know the price, so how could he spend his contribution points?

Then, Li Yelai clicked on the second message.

[You have completed all basic training and received excellent evaluations from the instructor. You have officially become a handler]

[Obtained code name: Night General]

[Obtained access to the Disaster Handler Forum]

[Handler Cheese invites you to join the group chat]
