Xia Ren is at the edge of collapse.

He had no energy to understand the words that appeared in his mind. The commotion outside seemed to be even stronger. You could vaguely hear the sound of birds flapping their wings, followed by a shrill chirping.

The water flow soaked the floor and spread into the house. The creepy cold air floated around. Xia Ren hugged his calves helplessly, and his whole body curled up on the swivel chair, trembling with coldness.

The words in his brain guided him to seal the infected body five meters away, but how could he know what the infected body was? Not to mention five meters, now it is one meter away, which is a distance that he can't reach.

Apart from the wet marks on the floor, the study room in his eyes was still the same, and he could not see anything unusual, but this made Xia Ren shudder. The increasingly cool fog and the tiny sound of spring in his ears all showed that there were many things in this room that he could not see, and these things were approaching him.

He wanted to shout loudly, let other residents in the community hear the movement here, and then call the police to save him, but no matter how hard he squeezed the air in his lungs, his throat seemed to be strangled, and he could only make a heavy breathing sound.

The air was filled with a faint smell of blood. He could not tell whether it was from the rope or something else. The fear of death was quietly rising in his heart, gradually occupying his entire mind.

Xia Ren had a premonition that he might have a lot of luck tonight.

In his twenty-four years of life, he never thought that he would be so eager to have someone by his side, and that he would hug the other person tightly at the fastest speed, and he would accept it no matter what the price he paid.

But no one.

At this time, all that accompanies him was the source of fear.

He couldn't accept it. Just following a girl to this residence, why did such a terrible thing happen? When did this world become so strange and fearful?

I originally thought it would be fine if I hid in the study, but there was no safe place in the room. Xia Ren now recalled that the old lady who kept knocking on the door outside seemed so friendly. He should have opened the door and went out to chat with the old lady!

However, there is no medicine for regret in the world. He doesn't even have the courage to run out and fight desperately. He can only curl up in a chair, tense his nerves, and silently wait for his bad luck.

As time passed slowly, under the huge pressure, his consciousness began to blur, and finally slowly closed his heavy eyelids.

It seemed as if countless people were quarreling fiercely, lingering like nightmare. Strangely, he could also clearly feel a blurry figure standing outside the door, staring at him quietly.

After a while, Xia Ren's expression gradually became soothing, and his consciousness completely fell into darkness.

"Bang!"

A white palm passed through the wall and turned off the lights in the study.

...

...

The whispers in the living room continued, the noisy sound.

“…he?”

“…so weak.”

“…The containment has expired…”

“…reset…”

"Take this opportunity...can't stay here."

"But the master..."

"Wang!"

In the night wind, the curtains swayed gently, and the living room returned to death.

...

...

"Die eunuch!"

"Dog out of context, I saw that the ticket in my hand didn't have it, it's gone!"

"No Zhou Yuan can see that I'm going to die!"

"It's so badly written, it's not worth spending money to subscribe, I've gone to watch the pirated version~"

"Hello, your application for the lifting of the work has been rejected. Reason: There are still violations in the content of the work..."

All kinds of noisy sounds were chaotic, and Xia Ren frowned tightly, and finally couldn't stand it. He kicked his legs like a spasm, but ended up falling out of the chair.

"Bang!"

Xia Ren took a deep breath of the body hitting the floor, supporting his upper body with one hand and sitting up on the floor with the other.

My head was still a little confused. I didn't remember what happened for a while, but my shoulders and feet were a little numb.

He looked at the surrounding environment in a daze.

Well, it's the study.

"Damn!"

He suddenly recalled the horror of last night, and opened his eyes wide. If it weren't for the numbness of his legs and feet, he would have almost jumped up.

"No, you have to leave quickly."

As soon as he stood up, the back of his head felt like he was hit by a heavy hammer.

A paragraph of text unfolds in the mind:

[Main Task 3: Warning, all the containment items in the house have been invalid. Please catch them as soon as possible to avoid spreading pollution! Mission reward: 7,000 achievement points and 7 readable ancient dream fragments. Current task completion: 0/7]

"it hurts!"

He staggered and almost hit the ground again, but fortunately he supported the desk.

My fingers caught something accidentally.

[Warning, pollutants are found!

The ear-drawing spoon that already possesses the pollutant coward, category: can be contained.

Is it contained?]

Xia Ren chose [Yes] in a daze.

[The ear-digging spoon that has been housed with cowards!

Item introduction: The original body is an ordinary ear-drawing spoon, which is contaminated due to long-term contact with the alienating body, causing it to be irreversible.

Ability: When used, the user will be reduced by ten points of rationality, but at the same time, there is a certain probability that the coward's hidden effect will be triggered, and the maximum resistance to attacks of a type of distorted body.]

[Note: Containers must not leave the room or leave the host, otherwise they will cause the containment to be invalid and re-disperse pollution.]

[This containment judgment will not give the host additional rewards.]

Looking at a small ear-digging spoon in his hand, feeling the faint fear conveyed from above, Xia Ren blinked.

“Writing is not an illusion.”

He is sure.

Then: "Is this a shelter picked up for nothing?"

Although the memory has not been fully restored, it seems easy to understand that the situation in front of you calmed down.

"This is the legendary system..."

Xia Ren tried to have thoughts, and several pages actually spread out in his mind.

“So amazing.”

He forgot to escape for the time being and began to carefully observe the text displayed on it.

The achievement point is zero, the store is completely gray and there is nothing to see.

In the personal information column, your other values ​​have not changed, but your rationality has changed from 9 to 80, and there is one item displayed.

According to his current understanding, reason should represent his thinking ability. Last night, his thinking ability dropped a lot, so the value of reason is so low.

"What's going on with pollution?"

[Known information: Some kind of existence pollutes surface organisms, and the main target of pollution is humans. Humans who are exposed to pollutants will be distorted and their minds and bodies will be distorted. After death, infected bodies will be born with the help of the host bodies. They are invisible, but they can affect all other items except themselves. The reason for the pollutants is unknown, and any contact or attempt to understand will cause people to be polluted.

Depending on the degree of pollution, the distortions of items are also different.

Infected bodies are divided into three categories: the first type of infected bodies has mild contamination, the second type of infected bodies has the ability, and the third type of infected bodies is extremely averse to humans.

To protect the host, the distortion information is not unlocked and the alienation information is not unlocked.

There are some special pollutants that cannot be sealed and can only be stored.】

"But how do I seal the infected body?"

[Known information: Infected bodies have all the memories and emotions of the host. Please try to weaken their resistance value. If the resistance value reaches a certain level, the system will forcibly seal it. Depending on the strength of the host, the ability to seal and contaminate will also change accordingly.]

"Isn't this the same as getting a Pokémon?"

Xia Ren rubbed his swollen temples.

It is urgent to leave this room quickly and complete tasks or something. It is better to take your time.

He put the coward's ear-drawing spoon in his pocket. He took two steps but found that the door had been opened.

"I remember it was closed well last night. Who opened the door?"

He was the only one in the room, and the answer was self-evident.

Thinking that he fell asleep last night, Xia Ren couldn't help but feel scared. He swallowed and felt a heat, his clothes were soaked, sticky and sticky to his body, increasing his discomfort.
To be continued...
