On a sultry and windless summer night, an old-fashioned electric fan near the window, despite the hum of the motor, did not bring any slight coolness to the room. The bright neon lights on the opposite side of the window made the room cool. Li Xiaoqi inside felt even more depressed.
Looking at the flashing red reminder icon on the lens, Li Xiaoqi really didn't understand why he would get into so much trouble just by attending a funeral.
Back to four days ago, in the Baifangshan Crematorium in Andong City, Li Xiaoqi led a crying girl aged fifteen or sixteen, running around busily.
The girl's name is Zhang Yue'er. She is the granddaughter of Li Xiaoqi's landlord Zhang Sanye. She is currently studying in Andong City No. 1 Middle School and is a sophomore in high school.
Five days ago, Mr. Zhang was sent to the hospital due to a sudden cerebral infarction. After resuscitation failed, he passed away the next morning. Mr. Zhang was a lonely old man. His only relative now was his granddaughter Zhang Yue'er, who was still in school. , looking at Zhang Yue'er lying on the body of Mr. Zhang in front of the hospital bed, crying like crazy, it was basically hopeless to expect her to take care of Mr. Zhang's funeral.
Recalling that Mr. Zhang had always taken good care of himself during his lifetime and never pushed himself when he had no money to pay the rent, Li Xiaoqi decided to help Mr. Zhang and die with dignity.
Since Mr. Zhang only had one relative, Zhang Yue'er, in order to save some expenses for the helpless little girl Zhang Yue'er in the future, Mr. Zhang's funeral was very simple.
It was already around seven o'clock in the evening when we returned to Zhang Sanye's two-story building along the street from the crematorium. I don't know whether it was affected by the solemn atmosphere of the crematorium before or because the temperature was at the bottom tonight. I just sent Zhang Yue'er home. The cold wind blew towards Li Xiaoqi from the open window at the end of the corridor.
Li Xiaoqi shuddered and didn't take the cool summer night breeze to heart. He walked past the house next to his rental house with a neon sign hanging next to the door, and looked at the words on the sign.
"Civet Office."
From the first day Li Xiaoqi came here, he noticed this strange room next door. As a door-to-door computer repairman, he shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city day after day, working extremely hard. He didn't pay too much attention to this room and never saw anyone entering or leaving the room.
"Go back and talk to Xiaoyue. The third master did not allow this room to be touched when he was alive. Now that he is gone, let's see if there are any tenants."
"If not, just rent it out. Little Yue will go to college soon."
Just as Li Xiaoqi was talking to himself, walking past the "Civet Office", the dusty neon sign that had not been lit all year round suddenly lit up, and at the same time, a clear cat meowed. It came out from "Civet Office".
Li Xiaoqi was startled, shrank his neck and ran back to his rental house.
After closing the door, Li Xiaoqi did not turn on the lights in the room because the neon sign of the nightclub opposite was too bright. Li Xiaoqi, who had been running around for the past few days to arrange Mr. Zhang's funeral, was very tired. He sat down on the bed and lit a cigarette. Before he could exhale the smoke from his lungs, Li Xiaoqi's eyes were attracted by a flash of purple light on the desk by the window.
Li Xiaoqi turned around and saw that it was the reading glasses that Master Zhang had left behind.
"This confused old man left me a parting gift when he left."
While muttering to himself, Li Xiaoqi picked up the reading glasses and put them on his face. Then something unexpected happened.
[The appearance of the designated inheritance adapter was detected and the initial version of the Senluo system was successfully triggered. 】
[The adapter of the fourteenth generation Senluo system, Li Xiaoqi, is a 27-year-old male, 180 centimeters tall, and weighs 75 kilograms. 】
[Level: Ordinary person]
[System upgrade value: 0]
【Strength: 45】
【Spirit: 27】
[Intelligence: 60]
[Agility: 31]
[Spiritual power: 88]
Listening to the female electronic voice that suddenly appeared in his head, and looking at the various values that kept appearing on the lenses, Li Xiaoqi, who was confused about what was going on, suddenly took off his reading glasses and looked around in slight horror.
The room was still Li Xiaoqi's room, and no other people appeared in the room, but the female electronic voice in his head was still ringing.
[The adapter data has not been uploaded yet, please adapt the adapter to put back the "spiritual power amplifier"]
"Wear your yo-yo!"
As he said this, Li Xiaoqi was about to throw away his reading glasses, but as the female electronic voice sounded again, Li Xiaoqi felt that his head hurt as if it was going to explode.
["Spiritual Power Amplifier" is an important artifact distributed by Netherworld Palace to adapters. Please do not damage it in any way. 】
[Otherwise, the Senluo system will forcibly stop the adapter's irrational behavior, and the means of stopping do not exclude killing behavior. 】
After being threatened with death, although he could not be sure whether it was true or not, Li Xiaoqi still put on his reading glasses obediently.
[Adapter data upload completed. 】
[Play the last offline video of Zhang Sangui, the 13th generation adapter. 】
"Xiaoqi, when you see this video, I will almost have turned into a pile of ashes."
"I think it must be you who will take care of my funeral. I'm here to thank you."
"And you may not believe what I'm going to say next, or you may feel angry."
"But for the sake of our friendship over the years, please listen carefully."
"The so-called adaptors are those who are born with spiritual powers that are different from ordinary people, and at the same time can well absorb and use the evil power from the netherworld, without turning into an existence that is neither human nor ghost."
"As for the meaning of the adapter's existence, it is to maintain the balance between Yin and Yang."
"If you survive the next trial, the Senluo system will tell you the rest."
"..."
"I'm going to Third Master, you always told me to listen carefully to your promise, but you fooled me with just a few words?!"
"Did you ask me if I agreed?!"
Before Li Xiaoqi could finish complaining, Mr. Zhang’s influence appeared on the lenses again.
"Are you complaining about me? Fortunately, I have some great news to tell you."
"Listen, I see that girl Xiaoyue has always been interested in you."
"No one will take care of her when I leave. If you can survive this trial, you can marry her when Xiaoyue graduates from university."
This time, the influence of Mr. Zhang was really gone, and then the female electronic sound sounded again.
[The offline video playback of the thirteenth generation adapters has been completed, and now the trial task (1) begins: Defeat the exorcism of the previous generation adapters. 】
[The mission begins after opening the door, and the mission time limit is before dawn. 】
[Task reward: Yin and Yang eyes, dust-level ghost exorcism talisman. 】
