Chapter 3076

Gulu was a bit dazed, completely failing to understand what the situation was right now, and just as she felt she was about to suffocate and die at home, the mysterious person who had suddenly appeared actually left.

Although that was the case, Gulu's pressure was now greater; the strange object inside the wall, after absorbing those flesh-and-blood threads, had a more threatening gaze, and Gulu's mental power and bodily energy consumption rate doubled, not only that, her eyes felt more sore.

Gulu, stare~

Bang!

A dull thud came from downstairs; this crude and direct way of opening the door made Gulu overjoyed, finally someone had come.

Just as Gulu was full of anticipation, a small mechanical vehicle drove into the bedroom; at first glance it looked like a toy car, but its structure was very precise, and it had been equipped with imaging, thermal, and audio sensors.

"Gulu, how much longer can you hold on?"

Su Xiao's voice came from inside the mechanical vehicle; upon hearing this, Gulu kept her lips still and said:

"Can't hold on much longer, joy, you guys come up quickly (can't hold on much longer anymore, you guys hurry up)."

"Speak human language."

"The stupidest can't move (lips can't move)."

"Hold on for another ten minutes."

"No problem, what do you want to arrange."

"No, just observing you."

"?"

In Gulu's eyes staring straight ahead, a big doubt appeared.

The bedroom fell silent again; Gulu strained to suppress herself from blinking, as her mental power began to be overdrawn, she felt she was reaching her limit.

"After I count 321, I will immediately look away."

The Bahu that flew into the bedroom opened its mouth; it stared at the face on the wall and felt that S-109's gaze was tilting toward it.

"3, 2, 1, tilt head."

Bahu's eyes widened; Gulu, wearing a gothic dress, immediately tilted her head and closed her eyes.

"I'm almost blind, what the hell is this, too unsolvable."

Gulu opened her eyes, blinked, and felt she had come back to life; compared to the eye soreness, her body felt as if it had been emptied out.

"Don't get too happy too early, you are the victim A locked onto by S-109, I am rescuer B; after it starts feeding, S-109's intelligence level will drop significantly, it has already locked onto you; look, when I lock eyes with it, I can move, but you cannot."

As Bahu spoke, it smirked and raised its wings; sure enough, although it was making eye contact with S-109, after moving its body, it did not provoke S-109.

"Explain clearly, victim A? Could it be..."

Gulu thought of something, and a bad feeling welled up in her heart.

"Yes, just as you thought; normally, eye contact with S-109 can be 'replaced', for example, I replaced you, and S-109 would no longer pay attention to you; likewise, after 'replacement', I, who am making eye contact with S-109, cannot look away or move.

There is an exceptional situation: when S-109 enters a feeding state, it locks onto a person, who is temporarily called victim A; given the existence of victim A, I can at most replace you for two hours each time, after which it still has to be you making eye contact with it."

Hearing Bahu's explanation, Gulu's little face turned pale; she felt nearly emptied out, and after two hours, she still had to make eye contact with S-109?

"What if I choose to leave?"

"S-109 will transfer into your body and then absorb you until only your skeleton remains."

"Two hours? I'll go take a nap right away."

Gulu walked out of the bedroom on the second floor and saw Su Xiao sitting on the sofa in the living room, with many small bottles on the coffee table in front of him.

"Mental power overdrawn; drink this potion to restore bodily energy; this one is for that."

Su Xiao put away the 【Wriggling Box】; he used this to take materials out of the storage space and prepare potions on the spot.

Gulu, without saying a word, drank several bottles of potion and then curled up on the blanket on the sofa to sleep; in her daze, she felt that the coming period would be hard to endure.

Su Xiao was unsure whether S-109 had other unknown properties; his way of dealing with S-109 was simple: hard attrition, letting S-109 enter a dormant phase, at which point he could consider extermination or sealing, prioritizing extermination, and if extermination failed, then sealing, bringing it back to the Reincarnation Paradise for harmless treatment.

"By the way, before you came, a guy arrived first; he fed S-109 something, after which S-109 became more threatening to me."

After saying this, Gulu fell into a deep sleep.

Su Xiao pondered in his mind; judging from the current situation, someone had used the contractor named Feng Xiao to bring S-109 into the real world; one would ask, would an eighth-rank contractor easily lose emotional control? Causing S-109 to grow inside him? This is clearly untenable.

Combining S-109's characteristics, Su Xiao couldn't help but suspect whether someone wanted S-109 to gain the traversal property; as long as S-109 grows for a period in the real world, it would gain the traversal property; Su Xiao had long known that the real world possesses this strange characteristic.

The Reincarnation Paradise selects contractors; why only in the real world? Because people living in the real world inherently have a very strong traversal constitution, which is a prerequisite for entering various primordial worlds; otherwise, the cost of each entry into a derived world or primordial world would be very high.

Once S-109 gains a certain degree of traversal property, it can be brought into the fully open primordial world of the seventh or even sixth rank, where it can develop wildly, absorb and store vast amounts of vitality.

Someone needs an exaggeratedly huge amount of vitality, so they chose to bring S-109 into the real world; this is not an accidental world, but a man-made one.

"Bubu."

"Wang."

Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, meaning the visitor had left no scent or trace; just then, Su Xiao's phone rang; he answered it, and a synthesized electronic voice came from inside.

"Bai Ye, don't go to the Treeborn World, don't ask who I am; we are enemies, and also friends."

After saying this, the other party hung up; Su Xiao looked at the phone number 1111****111 on his screen and immediately thought, could this matter be the work of the Gray Gentleman.

If so, the other party must have a backup plan; upon discovering his arrival, they would use S-109 as bait to execute their contingency plan.

Thud!

A dull thud came from outside the window; Su Xiao quickly walked to the window and saw formless flames rising tens of li away; the earlier loud noise and explosion could not be heard or seen by ordinary people.

"Roar!!"

A roar came from afar, then gradually faded; the intense sensation from afar that made one's whole body uncomfortable suddenly vanished—either it was not sealed, or it had left the real world.

Su Xiao had only guessed before, but now it seems this incident was truly the work of the Gray Gentleman; last time Su Xiao contacted the dean, the mad doctor, etc., he found the Gray Gentleman had come to the real world; now it appears the other party is doing this to accomplish the matter.

The Gray Gentleman never puts all his eggs in one basket; his most troublesome trait is being able to decisively abandon the plan he is executing, use it as bait to draw the attention of strong enemies, and seize the opportunity to complete his backup plan, thus achieving his goal.

This situation is exactly like that; Su Xiao was outmaneuvered by the Gray Gentleman's small scheme; the other party has already succeeded; what kind of consequences this plan will cause will be known upon entering the Treeborn World.

Two hours passed in a flash; Su Xiao tapped the coffee table in front of him; the asleep Gulu's eyelids twitched, and she slowly woke up.

"If I find out who did this, I will definitely go kill him."

Gulu walked toward the bedroom as if heading to the execution ground, as victim A, she had to continue staring at S-109 until S-109 grew weak and fell into a sleep state.

The S-109 extermination plan led by Gulu began, with Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang and Bahar responsible for occasional substitutions, while Gulu repeated the following process:

Stare~→Take medicine→Sleep for 1 hour 56 minutes→After waking up, continue staring~

Two days later, Gulu's little face turned deathly pale, dark circles appeared under her eyes, she looked at the potion in her hand, hesitated for a few minutes, then closed her eyes and drank it all in one gulp.

"I'm completely drained, Bai Ye, every time I meet you I have bad luck, you're not only my father, you're also my lifelong nemesis."

Gulu wore an expression of utter despair, understandable, really—when she was low-level, she met Su Xiao, then had her Demon Hunter Ring stolen, fought Su Xiao in the Ghost World, Reinhardt thought Su Xiao was dead, summoned heavenly thunder, and struck Gulu half to death; later on the Azure Dragon Continent, she was again beaten, her leg broken, plus a thorough thrashing.

Time flew by, and on the morning of the third day, Gulu stood in the bedroom, two pairs of lifeless eyes locked onto each other.

Don't think S-109 is easy to deal with—this is only true after understanding its weaknesses and behavioral traits; otherwise, encountering S-109 means over a 98% chance of suffering an instant kill on sight. S-109's weaknesses and habits were painstakingly probed, bit by bit, with their lives, by a group of brave and fearless people in some world; every crucial piece of information is stained with the blood of heroes.

Just as Gulu struggled to suppress the urge to blink and yawn, the face on the wall underwent a change—its eyes gradually closed, and the emitted fluctuations faded.

Seeing this, Gulu flopped to the ground with a thud and fell asleep instantly.

"Boss, S-109 has gone dormant."

As Bahar's shout faded, Su Xiao stepped into the bedroom, holding a pure copper metal box; he first placed the box against the wall, then pricked his own index finger, bringing the bleeding fingertip close to S-109 and stopping thirty centimeters away.

Blood dripped from Su Xiao's fingertip into the metal box below; the eyelids of S-109 on the wall twitched, and it began to detach from the wall, seeking to approach Su Xiao's bleeding fingertip.

S-109 completely detached from the wall and fell with a thud into the pure copper metal box below; the interior of the box had been coated with bone ash, which has a certain binding effect on S-109—when S-109 absorbs victims, it never absorbs bones, as it rejects bone matter.

Su Xiao stepped onto the lid of the metal box with one foot, snapped it shut with a slap, and inside came the sound of thudding impacts.

Carrying the metal box, Su Xiao quickly went to the living room, immersed the box in high-concentration saltwater, and from within came a hissing sound, as well as a chilling, bone-chilling howl.

After a full half hour, S-109 inside the metal box lost all sound; a spatial fluctuation appeared, as if something had been dragged away—this fluctuation did not come from the Reincarnation Paradise, nor was it man-made, but rather seemed to originate from some unknown world.

Su Xiao took the metal box out of the high-concentration saltwater, opened it, and saw inside a substance resembling rock powder.

【You have obtained Life Ash (this is an item from the outside world, forcibly stored in your storage space).】

【You did not exterminate S-109, but you have driven it back to its original world.】

【Tip: During the generation of such dangerous entities, they absorb world power. If the hunter is located in the??? world, exterminating or containing the dangerous entity yields corresponding rewards (treasure chest and world source).】

【Exterminate the dangerous entity completely: obtain treasure chest + world source.】

【Contain the dangerous entity: obtain only the treasure chest rewarded by the Reincarnation Paradise.】

……

【Real-world Achievement Task: Eliminate the Strange and Eerie Object (Completed).】

【You have obtained 'Seal Level Exchange Permission · Once'.】

【This permission cannot be retained and has been used.】

【Your seal level has been reduced to Lv. 73.】

【You have obtained Diamond Honor Medal ×100.】

……

Su Xiao did not engage in combat, yet expended considerable mental energy; fortunately, this time victim A was Gulu—though Gulu appeared doubtful of life, her inner self was actually very strong, able to withstand immense pressure.

The matter was settled; Su Xiao exited the villa, Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang wanted to drive, but fearing being caught on surveillance and making the morning headlines, so it was still Fatty Ma driving.

Back at the accessory shop, Su Xiao's calm real-life routine began; after experiencing the S-109 incident, Su Xiao's attitude toward entering the Treeborn World became more cautious.

The rule-breakers plan to pull off a major event there; unfortunately, Su Xiao cannot reach that place, so his approach is simple: since he cannot weaken the enemy, he will strengthen himself—only by becoming strong enough can he eliminate all those rule-breakers.

Su Xiao paused the puzzle game—this DLC is so difficult it makes one's scalp tingle, and he even wanted to go greet Skinny Fatty.

Outside, the sun blazed fiercely; due to the air conditioning being set relatively high, the accessory shop was pleasantly cool, and Su Xiao decided to have hot pot tonight—extra spicy hot pot.

Unnoticed, the relaxing daily life ended, and the Reincarnation Paradise's prompt appeared.

【Tip: The hunter is about to enter a new world; this world selection method is fixed.】

PS: (Today's two chapters are on hold—rest for now; tomorrow we'll open the new world, organize your thoughts, everyone guess the new world's traits.)
