"Hmm … I think I had a weird dream …"
Rubbing his face, the chaotic images and fragments of the dream gradually faded from his mind. Hai Tianqing opened his eyes. He was still a little dazed as he looked around. His gaze fell on three familiar figures not far away.
It was unknown when the hot rain and the white fog had disappeared … Under the starry night sky, the three shadows sat in a circle, far away from each other. The atmosphere seemed to be very heavy.
"What are you guys doing?" Hai Tianqing sat up. As he moved, he felt a faint pain in his temples. "How did I fall asleep here?"
Just as he stood up and was about to walk in the direction of his companions, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. After he used his Divine Sense to sense his surroundings, his face instantly turned ashen.
"Where's my Advanced Ability? Why is the [Fitness Coach's Glory] gone?! "
At that moment, the three figures in front of him finally moved. Hu Changzai slowly turned his head. However, Lin Sanjiu didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that he was being very reluctant.
"Cadre Hai, you're awake?" There was some reluctance in his voice. "You don't have to worry. Your abilities are with Xiao Jiu, and some of your special items will be returned to you soon."
"… Could it be that I wasn't dreaming about that duel?"
Hai Tianqing glared at him. His knitted eyebrows revealed his disbelief.
"Yes, it was real. But it's over now."
"Alright … Let's not talk about this first … What happened to your face?"
Hu Changzai's face was full of geometric patterns, and it was almost impossible to see his expression clearly. "Hehehe …" As he laughed dryly, his skin shifted, and the two rows of ink-colored patterns on his cheeks, which looked like the circuits on a computer motherboard, also bent slightly. The geometric patterns followed his neck and extended all the way to his collar, "We accidentally ate something called Usu Poison in the game. That's why we became like this …"
Before Hai Tianqing could look at the remaining human and rabbit, Lin Sanjiu and B.Rabbit had already turned their faces around, as if they had accepted their fate.
Lin Sanjiu's slightly slanted cat eyes were now covered by a few circles of complicated patterns. The dark green patterns were exquisite and smooth. The layers of patterns were very ingenious and formed the outline of a pair of butterflies spreading their wings outside her eyes. It made her amber eyes seem even lighter, glowing like gold. Coupled with the snow-white bandage around her neck, although this appearance was very strange, it was extremely fairy-like beauty. It was not bad.
But when Hai Tianqing saw Brown-Furred Rabbit, he was dumbfounded.
One of the rabbit's eyes was covered by a black leather eye patch, and the other eye was covered with thick, black, smokey eye makeup. Its three-petaled mouth was smeared with purple lipstick, and its long ears were adorned with metal rings. The cute leather holster around its neck was gone, replaced by a black collar studded with spikes. As a rabbit. Dressing up in such a Gothic manner was already very out of place, but the most noticeable part was the little pink carrot pattern all over its fur.
"Too, too curious …" Hai Tianqing unknowingly spat out this sentence.
The expressions of the two humans and the rabbit sank to the bottom of the abyss.
"The side effect of consuming Usu Poison is that it will grow patterns on your face or body," Lin Sanjiu's voice sounded like she was in pain. Lin Sanjiu's voice was filled with anguish. "As for what kind of pattern it will grow, it all depends on what comes into your mind at that moment."
Hu Changzai lowered his head and looked at the back of his hands. Both of them were also covered with intricate patterns that looked like electronic circuits, "I heard it was on my face and body … That's why I'm covered with patterns …"
Goth Rabbit's face tensed up, and he didn't say a word.
However, Lin Sanjiu didn't let it go, "As for Rabbit, its appearance is caused by a Special Item. The carrot pattern is … I don't know why it would think of that pajama-like pattern … But fortunately, this Usu Poison is only temporary. It won't last forever. "
Hai Tianqing heaved a sigh of relief. He walked over and wanted to sit beside Rabbit. However, just as he was about to sit down, the other three people jumped up at the same time and shouted, "Stay away from me!" Then, all of them backed away simultaneously.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Hai Tianqing didn't look too good.
"Come to think of it, it's all that Mr. Dot's fault." Lin Sanjiu let out a long sigh and rubbed her forehead.
[Usu Poison]
Description: A new type of virus from the laboratory of Hickory Pharmaceutical Company. The first person who eats the virus will become a carrier of the virus, and they won't be harmed by the Usu Poison. However, if someone comes into contact with the carrier of the virus, they will be infected by the virus. They will suffer from an incurable blood disease, and they will bleed to death from their pores within a short period of time. If two carriers come into contact with each other, both of them will die. However, if there is a barrier between their skin, they won't be infected.
Time limit: After you poison six people who touch you, the effect of Usu Poison will disappear. Side effect: You will have to poison six people who touch you.
Side effects: A pattern will appear on the user's face or body for 6 months.
Side effect: The image in your mind will appear on your face or body for six months. His physique was twice the size of the others, but he couldn't bear the consequences of accidentally touching someone …
"Looking at it from a positive point of view, this is a very good defensive measure. Now, no one would dare to touch even a finger of yours … "From a positive point of view, this is a very good defensive measure. Now, no one will dare to touch you guys …
The two humans and the rabbit looked at each other. Lin Sanjiu, who suffered the least damage, explained the entire situation to Hai Tianqing from the fourth round of the game onwards.
After the game ended, the three of them sat at the dining table in a daze. They watched as Mr. Dot stood up with a smile on his face and announced the results. Although Hai Tianqing's mouth was open, his voice came from a loudspeaker somewhere and resounded through the entire room.
Surprisingly, they weren't the only four survivors. Zhong Junkai had fainted early on, so he had the least amount of stamina and survived. Originally, the long-legged woman from the White Team didn't stand a chance, but her desire to live was too strong. She squeezed out the blood from her teammate's corpse and forced herself to drink human blood to survive until the end.
As for the heavily injured old lady and the defeated team members, they had already died.
However, unlike the last time, they couldn't extract the ability from the dead this time because the Mr. Stronghold said that they couldn't. Mr. Dot had said that the "storage period" had expired.
After waking Zhong Junkai up and feeding him something, Mr. Dot listed out the abilities of the White Team members.
Hu Changzai's two advanced abilities: [Discern Truth from Falsehood], [Truth Cannonball]
Hai Tianqing had an advanced ability: [Glory of the Fitness Coach], and an advanced ability obtained from the rabbit: [Rabbit Idiom]. Lara's advanced ability: [Pity Me When I See You].
Long-legged woman's advanced ability: [A Twinkle in the Sky]
Lin Sanjiu was stunned.
Out of the six abilities, four of them belonged to her teammates! How could this be considered a reward?
However, judging from Mr. Dot's penchant for pranking people, he must have expected this outcome. Not only did he expect it, but he also deliberately led them to this ending …
But no matter what. The abilities were distributed to the members of the Red Team based on their contributions and their own wishes. [Rabbit Idiom] and Hu Changzai's abilities were given to B.Rabbit while Hai Tianqing and the long-legged woman's abilities were given to Lin Sanjiu. Even though Zhong Junkai was absent in the fourth round of the game, he was still Lara's boyfriend. Lin Sanjiu made the decision to give him Lara's ability as a form of inheritance.
As for the five Special Items she found from the White Team members, she kept them safely. Apart from Lin Sanjiu, the other three didn't have anything valuable on them. This was the time when they needed the Special Items. Counting the three Special Items they won and the three Special Items they found from the old lady, Lin Sanjiu and the other three Special Items. It could be said that they had a great harvest this time.
Lin Sanjiu took out the three orbs from the wooden box and watched them melt into her skin. Then, she raised her head and asked, "Mr. Dot, can each of us request a Special Reward?"
She remembered this very well.
Mr. Dot still maintained his appearance as Hai Tianqing. For some reason, he didn't reveal his real body, "Sure, go ahead."
Zhong Junkai, who was lying lifelessly at the side, suddenly brightened up. He forced himself to get up.
Lin Sanjiu lifted a corner of the wooden box and took out the Diary Card that she had pasted at the bottom. She lowered her head and quickly scanned through the Diary Card. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled at Mr. Dot, "Both B.Rabbit and I want this wooden box."
B.Rabbit, who was suddenly represented by Lin Sanjiu, was stunned for a moment. Then, it became a little dissatisfied, "Hey, I want the lettuce that he gave us just now …"
Lin Sanjiu rolled her eyes at B.Rabbit and passed the Diary Card to him.
B.Rabbit held the card with his front paw. When he looked down, he was speechless.
On the Diary Card was a detailed record of Lin Sanjiu's experience of turning the wooden box into a card during the second round of the game. Even though Lin Sanjiu was afraid of being punished by Mr. Dot, she only turned the wooden box into a card for less than a second before putting it back in its original spot. However, since she had called out the Diary Card beforehand, all the information about the wooden box was recorded. Even the process of using the wooden box in the future was completely displayed on the card.
Introduction, characteristics, usage … It was this wooden box that had the magical ability to take other people's abilities and use them. With it, they could return the abilities to Hai Tianqing and B.Rabbit. Not only that, this wooden box could even take the abilities of a newly deceased person. In other words, this wooden box was like a cheat.
"I can't give this wooden box to you," Mr. Dot suddenly laughed, "If I give it to you, I won't have it anymore."
Lin Sanjiu, who had always been full of confidence, was stunned. She had forgotten that Mr. Dot had never said that he couldn't refuse.
Mr. Dot observed her expression calmly, as if he was happy to see her bewildered expression. After a while, he smiled and said, "But … I can give each of you a replica."
It was only then that Lin Sanjiu and B.Rabbit felt their hearts returning to their original place.
After receiving the wooden box and distributing the Special Items, the Pocket Dimension finally ended. When they walked out of the Instance Dungeon, they found that the white fog outside had dissipated, revealing a world that had been mostly destroyed. It made sense. The time they spent in the Pocket Dimension was equivalent to two to three months. No matter how heavy the rain was, it couldn't last for so long …
When Lin Sanjiu explained to Hai Tianqing, she opened her palm and took out the [Rob the Poor to Feed the Rich Box].
The crimson replica was very small. It was about the size of a lunch box, so it could only be called a wooden box. Lin Sanjiu put her hand into the box and whispered to Hai Tianqing, "This replica is much weaker. Each box can only be used twice, and it can only take one ability each time. Also, it can't be used on a dead person. But no matter what, your ability can be returned to you now … "
In order to return Hu Changzai's ability, B.Rabbit had already used up two uses of the box.
Hai Tianqing looked down and saw that there was a ball of light floating in the wooden box that was handed over. He quickly stretched his hand out. The glowing orb seemed to know the way home as it immediately flew into his hand. Then, it melted into his skin and disappeared.
Hai Tianqing stretched his arms and felt that his ability had returned. He nodded at Lin Sanjiu and handed the wooden box back to her. At the same time, he asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time, "Since you have taken the Special Items, you can return my ability … Why are you guys still sitting here?"
There was no longer any hot rain. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The white fog and the strong wind had disappeared. The yellow sand had been drenched by the rain and had turned into mud. For the time being, they couldn't fly freely in the air. In this weather, they could see clearly, so it was the best time for them to travel.
When Lin Sanjiu heard that, she buried her face in her palms.
Hu Changzai let out a heavy sigh and said in a tone that sounded like a sigh, "Cadre Hai, do you see our car?"
"Huh?" Hai Tianqing was stunned. He immediately stood up and looked around.
At this time, three people and a rabbit were sitting alone on the empty road. On the side of the road, there were a few dilapidated cars covered in mud. Behind them, other than the ruins, there was only a building that was on the verge of collapse. Hai Tianqing then realized that the two cars filled with food and water had disappeared.
"We stayed in the pocket dimension for two to three months … Our car was stolen a long time ago," Lin Sanjiu's muffled voice came from her palms. (To be continued.)
