Chapter 4 This Weird World
Someone once said, seven steps away, the gun is fast; within seven steps, the punch is fast.
But Xu Yi just wants to say that both guns and fists are equally fast.
After all, he failed to dodge the bullet and was penetrated through the left chest, but he also closed in on the ogre.
The boning knife flashing with cold light continued to expand, and the ogre's pupils were full of fear. He wanted to shoot a second shot, but it was too late.
The boning knife pierced the ogre's chest. Xu Yi originally aimed at the opponent's heart, but the opponent twisted his body and dodged.
But it didn't matter. When Xu Yi got close, everything was doomed. He pulled out the boning knife, aimed it at the opponent's spleen, and struck again.
Suffering from severe pain and organ damage, the ogre let out a scream before death, and slowly loosened his grip on the gun.
Xu Yi grabbed the pistol, pointed it at the ogre's head, shot one after another, and emptied the magazine in just a few seconds. The horror on the ogre's face was frozen, and he could not die anymore.
The ground was stained red with blood, and Xu Yi staggered, feeling a strong dizziness.
When he was fighting for his life, dopamine was secreted sharply and he could not feel the pain. Now that he was safe and he relaxed, the pain and weakness swept over him like a tide, swallowing him up in an instant.
Before he fell into coma, he vaguely heard the system's beep.
[Kill "The Source of Fear: The Imitator of the Ogre Hannibal", and the entry devouring is enabled! ]
[Get a blank entry: "Scholar (White Ordinary)"]
[Get a blank entry: "Psychology (White Ordinary)"]
[Get a blank entry: "Painter (White Ordinary)"]
[Get the entry synthesis path : "Hypnosis = Psychology + Scholar." ]
Xu Yi fell into endless darkness, but he was suddenly stunned. Why didn't he return to the resurrection space?
.........
Xu Yi opened his eyes and saw a white ceiling. The air was filled with the faint smell of disinfectant. Doctors and nurses were walking back and forth outside the corridor.
"He's not dead!"
Xu Yi looked at the bandaged body and quickly figured out what was going on.
The bullet should not have hit the vital point, otherwise he would not be in the hospital now, but in the resurrection space.
As for why he was in the hospital, it was probably the gunfire that alerted the surrounding residents. After calling the police, the police sent him to the hospital.
Xu Yi secretly rejoiced that if he had to do it again, he would indeed be very confident in getting rid of the ogre.
But there is always a chance of things happening. If something goes wrong and the ogre kills you, it will really be a mess.
The current situation is very good. Although he was seriously injured and hospitalized, he finally defeated the ogre and retained a resurrection coin, which gave him more confidence when facing danger.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and two policemen walked slowly into the ward. Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from the demeanor of the two policemen, it was obvious that they were not here to interrogate him. You must know that he is an Asian, and in this country of "freedom and equality", his treatment is not so good.
He didn't want to be charged with "breaking into a house and killing the homeowner."
"Mr. Yi, we want to ask you something. Relax, it's just a simple question." The policeman behaved very kindly.
There was no way they could be discordant. They had been very worried recently about the ogre incident. If it hadn't been for Xu Yi, they would have had to work overtime to investigate.
No one likes to work overtime, and police officers are no exception.
"You can ask!" Xu Yi naturally cooperated.
After a while, the two policemen left with satisfaction. Xu Yi was also very satisfied. He "assisted" the police station in solving the case and received a reward of 20,000 yuan.
At this time, 20,000 yuan is not a small amount of money, and various luxury cars are only 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
The reason why the reward is so high is because one of the victims was the son of a famous rich man in New York, so the pressure on the police department is so great.
From the police, he learned the identity of the murderer.
His name is Anthony, he is a university teacher, has a doctorate in medical psychology, and is also a slightly famous painter. Xu Yi really couldn't understand why such a winner in life worshiped Hannibal and became an ogre?
As for the real "Ogre Hannibal", even if he is still alive, he is now over 130 years old and has died of old age long ago.
The identity of the ogre was so successfully determined because the police found the recently missing person at Anthony's home.
The man was hidden in the freezer in the basement. He had already been disemboweled, and his heart and other organs were properly preserved. It seems that the ogre noticed the recent turmoil and planned to stock up on "food" and temporarily hid it.
It's a pity that I met Xu Yi.
"It seems that before he fell into coma, he heard the sound of the system?" Thinking of this, he quickly opened the system panel.
[Possess entries: Fighting (100/100), Psychic (0/100), Scholar (0/100), Painter (0/100), Psychology (0/100). ]
[Has a synthetic path; Scholar + Psychology = Hypnosis. ]
[Has a synthetic path: Scholar + Painter + Psychic = Psychic Painter. ]
Among them, "scholar", "painter" and "psychology", the three new entries are all obtained after killing the ogre.
Only then did Xu Yi understand that besides opening the treasure box, there was another way to obtain the entry, which was to "eliminate the source of fear" and activate the entry to devour it.
The three newly obtained entries are obviously not random.
"Scholar", "psychology", and "painter" are obviously Anthony's own abilities.
If the vampire who is the source of fear is eliminated, will he be able to obtain terms such as "immortality"? He was a little curious.
Xu Yi quickly discovered a new problem.
Now that the two synthesis paths have all the required entries, but both of them require the use of "scholar", can we only choose one of the two?
Xu Yi was a little regretful. If he could only choose one, he would definitely choose the psychic painter. This is obviously an entry with some kind of super power.
But he doesn't want to give up "hypnosis". After all, hypnosis is a very useful ability in many movies and TV shows. Don't get me wrong, he is not referring to those movies and TV shows like Little Japan.
[After the entries are fused, the ability of the entry itself will not disappear. If other paths require this entry, a blank entry can be regenerated and used for fusion after it is full. 】
The system gave an explanation, and Xu Yi's eyes lit up.
After all, children make choices, so of course he wants them all!
There is a stack of newspapers on the bedside, which is used by the hospital to relieve boredom for patients. The technology in this world is far less developed than that of later generations, and there are no smart phones for entertainment.
Xu Yi picked up the newspaper and read it carefully. Newspapers are an important way to understand the world.
"The Warrens went to Ocean Avenue to perform an exorcism, and fans gathered at the scene!"
"A huge fire broke out in Silent Hill!"
"Werewolves appeared in the suburbs of London, and the local police station has been dispatched."
"Haijin Company is recruiting exorcists, and the treatment is good."
...
The more Xu Yi looked at it, the more frightened he became. Finally, combined with the memories he inherited, he reluctantly confirmed one thing.
This is a world full of horror elements, but it is very different from what he remembered.
The Warrens have become famous and are not suspected by the world. People in this world are very accepting of exorcists, and famous exorcists are no less than celebrities.
The government even openly recruited exorcists and provided five insurances and one fund. Xu Yi was very moved by the benefits.
Xu Yi stared at the entry panel, and finally fixed his gaze on the "psychic" entry.
There is no doubt that there are ghosts, demons and other weird things in this world. If you don't want to die in an unknown way, you must have "psychic" ability.
The first goal next is to brush out the "psychic" entry, and then find a way to synthesize a "psychic painter"! Xu Yi quickly made a plan.
Friends, if you invest, be quick, the status will change soon~
