Chapter 282 The World of Strange Things
"I have something to tell you. Can you come to the rooftop with me?"
Shen Xin stretched out her fingers to play with the long golden hair hanging down to her chest, her cheeks were slightly red, and she asked a little shyly. road.
"Sorry, I have something urgent to do at home. If you have anything to say, just tell me here."
Yang Hao's eyes narrowed and he refused decisively.
His intuition told him that nothing good would happen if he followed a girl from his class whom he had just met to the rooftop at this time.
Although judging from the other party's face, this is likely to be a confession of adolescence, Yang Hao will not take any chances.
Moreover, this body was in high school on the second day, and his appearance could not be said to be outstanding. To say that a beautiful girl could fall in love with him at first sight would be too much.
"It won't take too much time. Yang Haoqian will come with me~"
Shen Xin stamped her feet and unconsciously raised her voice to act coquettishly.
"Sorry, there is something urgent at home. If you don't say anything, I will leave first."
However, Yang Hao didn't take this at all, and walked towards the door of the classroom while being vigilant.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Seeing that Yang Hao was really leaving, Shen Xin hurriedly caught up to try to stay.
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to grab the corner of Yang Hao's clothes, but unexpectedly, Yang Hao was very alert at this time and dodged her fingers with a slight dodge.
Shen Xin didn't catch her clothes, her center of gravity was unstable, and she fell directly in the direction of Yang Hao.
"Bang!"
Yang Hao had no intention of being a hero and saving the beauty. Instead, he took advantage of this moment to speed up his departure.
When Shen Xin slowly got up from the ground, Yang Hao could no longer be seen in front of her.
"Ah, failed again." Shen Xin's expression suddenly became extremely dull. She patted the ashes on her body and murmured in a low voice.
...
On the way home, Yang Hao suddenly thought of a question.
The rules of this level restrict Yang Hao, but it doesn't seem to say whether there is extraordinary power in this world.
'That shouldn't be the case. If that were the case, it would be a bit outrageous. '
'Even if he has extraordinary power, it shouldn't be too strong. It's probably something that even mortals can deal with. '
Yang Hao sat on the bus, looking at the receding scenery outside the window, thinking silently.
'By the way, will the skills I release through the skill panel be detected as super-standard power? Yang
Hao was thinking about it and suddenly had an idea.
Although the extraordinary power in his body is sealed, Yang Hao can also use his body to release various spells without breaking the seal.
However, Yang Hao didn't know how the cheat detection mechanism of this level worked. It would be bad if he would be judged as a failure if energy beyond the level of a mortal was detected.
Therefore, Yang Hao only thought about it for a while and did not actually take any action.
At most, when you face a problem that you can't cope with, you can try it out and use it as your final trump card.
At that time, it would be better to succeed, but if it failed, it would not have much impact.
"Tsk--"
When they reached a stop on the way, the uncle sitting next to Yang Hao got up and got out of the car. Then, a beautiful girl with silver hair and red eyes suddenly came over and sat next to Yang Hao.
"???"
Yang Hao was wary.
There are a lot of empty seats on the bus now. Instead of sitting in the empty seat alone, this man sat next to him unreasonably. If he had no other purpose, no one would believe him.
"I said you were going to die, do you believe it?"
Just when Yang Hao was hesitating whether to strike preemptively, this beautiful silver-haired girl suddenly said something sensational.
"Beauty, are you talking to me?" Yang Hao asked with squinted eyes.
"We are the only two around here, what do you think?" the silver-haired girl asked with an indifferent expression.
"Then what did you mean by what you just said? Curse me? But I don't remember provoking someone as powerful as you." Yang Hao continued.
"No. In fact, before today, you and I didn't know each other." The silver-haired girl still had a cold face, as if everyone owed her millions.
"Then, can I think you are looking for trouble?" Yang Hao said.
"I'm here to save you."
"If I hadn't intervened, you would have died in your bedroom at twelve o'clock tonight." The silver-haired girl said.
"Are you kidding me? I'm sorry, little girl, I'm not that easy to fool."
Yang Hao was startled. He felt that this girl might know some unusual knowledge about the world, which might be related to his level goal. related.
But in order not to appear abnormal, he still put on a look of distrust and sneered.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, but I will stay with you until your death comes at twelve o'clock in the evening." The
silver-haired girl said this, her expression still unchanged.
"You're crazy! I'm afraid you've read too many anime novels and developed chuunibyou, right?" Yang Hao deliberately mocked.
"Whatever you say." The silver-haired girl leaned back slightly on the back of the seat, closed her eyes and took a nap.
"You..." Yang Hao was speechless. Why didn't this guy follow the routine?
But now that the words have been spoken, it is impossible for Yang Hao to ask again why this guy knows that he will encounter death tonight.
Besides, what this guy said may not be true.
...
After arriving at the station, Yang Hao saw that the silver-haired girl next to him was still taking a nap with her eyes closed. He frowned, without alerting the other party. He slightly controlled his leg muscles, used the front seat to quietly roll out, and then quickly Get off the bus through the back door.
Then, until the bus left, Yang Hao didn't see the girl getting off the bus.
'He also said that he would always stay with me. Now it seems that what he said just now is really just the nonsense of a chuunibyou? Yang
Hao frowned, feeling a little disappointed.
He turned around and prepared to go home.
However, when he turned around, he was immediately startled.
The silver-haired girl who was sitting next to Yang Hao appeared behind Yang Hao at some point, looking at Yang Hao with a slightly teasing look.
"Do you think I'm still in the car?"
the silver-haired girl asked.
I don't know if it was Yang Hao's illusion, but he seemed to see the corners of this guy's mouth curve upward slightly.
"When did you get down? I kept observing the position of the car doors, including the front and back doors."
Yang Hao asked in a deep voice.
With his control over his body, it was absolutely impossible for a normal person to come behind him without him noticing, unless he used extraordinary power.
"Guess." The corner of the silver-haired girl's mouth curved up visibly. This guy's heart didn't seem to be as cold as his expression.
"Do you really want to follow me all the time?" Yang Hao couldn't help but ask.
"Of course." The silver-haired girl replied.
"What should I do if I go to the toilet or take a shower?" Yang Hao continued to ask.
"You'd better hold it in." The silver-haired girl chuckled.
The implication is that she will follow even at that time.
"Can you explain to me your identity and the death disaster I will encounter at night?"
Yang Hao estimated that according to a normal person's mentality, he would be more or less aware of what this person said at this time. I believed it so much that he asked directly.
"You can call me 'Gu Mengshang'. As for my identity, you can understand me as a special person who protects people's property and safety." "As for the death disaster you are about to encounter, let's talk about it when we get to
your house. Outside. There are too many people and it would be bad if you meet people from other forces." The
silver-haired girl who called herself "Gu Mengshang" said as she walked forward.
Yang Hao twitched the corners of his eyes. The direction the other party was walking in was clearly the location of his home.
"Gu Mengshang? It sounds like a man's name." Yang Hao quickly followed him.
"Of course, I am a man." Gu Mengshang said coldly.
"...Are you kidding?"
Yang Hao said.
"Hmph! It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. Anyway, after tonight, there will be no relationship between you and me, and you don't need to know too much."
Gu Mengshang snorted coldly, and then stopped answering any of Yang Hao's questions.
It seems that the issue of gender touches the other person's inverse scale.
Yang Hao was thoughtful.
Then, the two walked towards Yang Hao's house in silence.
...
about five minutes later.
As soon as Yang Hao took out the key and opened the security door, Gu Mengshang followed him in as if he didn't regard him as an outsider.
"Can you tell me about the death disaster now?"
Yang Hao put down his schoolbag and said.
"Do you know the other world?" Gu Mengshang looked around Yang Hao's home for a while, then sat down on the sofa in the living room and asked with his legs crossed.
"Of course, there are many novels and comics about this setting." Yang Hao searched the original memory and answered truthfully.
"That's good, save me the trouble."
"In fact, our world does have an inner world."
"In the inner world, there are all kinds of powers and monsters that are beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition. , any fantasy produced by humans in the surface world can find similar representatives in it." "
Originally, the inner world and the surface world are like two parallel lines that can never intersect." "
Unfortunately, if it is In this case, there will be no further problems."
"About fifty years ago, one day, a tiny black hole suddenly appeared somewhere in the world." "
This black hole was so small that it was completely inadequate. To pose any threat to humans who already rule the entire planet and whose science and technology are developing rapidly." "
Even, there is no chance of being observed." "
But it is this black hole that makes the inner world and the outer world corresponding to our blue star A crack was created between them."
"The emergence of this crack was like a domino, causing more cracks to appear." "
In just ten years, various strange events occurred all over the world. "
The source of these strange events comes from the 'strange things' that sneaked over from the other world." "The strange things come in
various forms, either humans, animals, or various other inanimate objects. But they all have one thing in common, that is, once they appear, they will change the rules of the surface world in the surrounding area." "
For example, smoking will cause death, sneezing will cause diarrhea, and reading will cause headaches."
" And this area where the rules have been changed is called the Strange Territory." "
If the Strange Territory cannot be eliminated within a period of time, it will gradually expand and strengthen, and at the last moment, everything in it will be completely integrated into it. The world."
"And if you want to break the strange realm, you must let people contain the strange things at its core." "
But..."
Gu Mengshang burst into a long speech, and Yang Hao was stunned for a while.
This level world is so dangerous, but the rules require Yang Hao not to use any extraordinary power. Isn't this a bit overwhelming?
Did this girl think he was easy to deceive and deliberately told a bunch of lies to deceive him?
"Stop, stop, stop, what have you said so much, and what does it have to do with the death disaster I encountered tonight?"
Yang Hao suddenly interrupted.
"It's simple, because in your room, at twelve o'clock tonight, there will be a rift leading to the other world, and then, a strange thing will appear on your bed, turning your room into a strange realm."
"If there are no special circumstances, you will be infected and die from the strange thing as soon as it appears."
Gu Mengshang glanced at Yang Hao expressionlessly, seemingly very dissatisfied with his interruption.
"...You all could predict the appearance of this thing?" Yang Hao couldn't help but ask.
"You can think so." Gu Mengshang nodded and said nothing more.
"Then wouldn't it be enough to just arrange for my aunt and I to go out tonight to avoid the limelight? Why would I send you to follow me?"
Yang Hao asked.
"In the foreshadowing scene, you are the key element. If you are not here, the strange thing will not appear." "
As for your aunt, we have made arrangements long before I met you. If nothing else, she will be there soon." I'm going to call you to inform you that she won't be coming home tonight."
Gu Mengshang said calmly.
"Am I the key element?" Yang Hao suddenly understood. It seems that this is the level's special care for the trialists.
"Then what do I need to do next?" Yang Hao then asked.
"You don't need to do anything, just have a normal routine. I will stay with you and contain the strange thing the moment it appears, so you don't have to worry about your own safety." Gu Mengshang glanced at Yang Hao, as if he
thought He is greedy for life and afraid of death.
"This..."
Yang Hao hesitated.
Doesn't this mean that he must put his safety in this level into the hands of this stranger he just met?
But if what the other party said about the strange things was true, Yang Hao's current body alone would not be able to play any other role.
Unless Yang Hao takes the risk and uses the power of the skill panel.
'By the way, does it count as a violation if I use the extraordinary power of my native world? '
A thought suddenly crossed Yang Hao's mind.
After all, normally speaking, if he could only use mortal power to survive in a world with such powerful extraordinary power, it would be too difficult for him.
Unless the purpose of the level setting is to let him draw on the power of the native people of this world.
