"I want to know," Gu Xing continued, "How much life do I need to pay for each transaction?"
[It depends on what kind of weirdness the triggerer will accommodate. Based on the carrying capacity of humans in this world, the lifespan you pay is probably between 1 and 20 years. Of course, there will be individual exceptions. However, during the transaction process, you can stop it at any time according to your mood]
After being hit directly by Gu Xing, Xiaodong became much more honest.
Gu Xingze weighed it carefully.
He looked at the helpless Crow in the projection, and her face once again overlapped with the drunken and crying Sequoia.
Yes, every human being is a struggling bug in the shadow of grotesque horror. The Bizarre Investigator is just a slightly bigger, more nimble, and faster bug.
So why not Gu Xing.
But at this moment, Gu Xing suddenly didn't want to be a bug anymore.
At least, you can't be that kind of bug that waits passively without thinking, and in the end can only be slaughtered by others.
It was so hopeless, as if I had to face death anytime, anywhere.
Then... just don't be afraid of death.
If he was not afraid of death, would he still be afraid of resistance? Gu Xing decided to dance with the grotesque——
"By the way...how should I start?"
[Haha, I like this part the most, it’s a perfect stage for pretending to be a ghost.]
[You follow my prompts—answer her questions first. Didn't she ask you who you are? 】
[Just say: Who am I? 】
[I don’t know, maybe it’s the god you humans call him. I was summoned by you just to fulfill your wishes]
"..."
Gu Xing was speechless. After thinking for a while, he said to the crow: "I am an alien among all living beings...I heard your voice. Maybe, I can help you."
[A terrible opening]
[There is absolutely no quality at all]
If the little hole had a face, it would have covered its face with both hands.
Gu Xing felt as if his voice was picked up by a gust of wind and penetrated into a small hole, passing through the tunnel of space and reaching the place where the crow was.
The sound was carried by the wind and became ethereal, distant and ethereal.
"You mean..." Crow's eyes widened, "You can help me defeat the weird?"
The small hole gave another hint——
【You must listen to me this time! 】
[Just say: God is omnipotent. For example, I can help your body accommodate weirdness and give you the ability to easily defeat weirdness]
"I can help your body accommodate the weirdness." Gu Xing said.
[Damn...why did you delete the previous sentence...I didn't think well of these lines either! 】
Come on, low is in the sewer. Gu Xing complained secretly.
Crow stood up, looking a little excited and a little doubtful, "How will you help me?"
[All gifts given by fate have their prices secretly marked. You pay the price and I give you weirdness]
This is not bad——
…
I don't know when the lights in the office were turned off.
The room was a little dark.
Crow could only see the shadow above his head and the blurry man's face in the middle of the shadow.
"All gifts given by fate have their prices secretly marked."
"You pay the price, and I...help you accommodate the weirdness."
"It's a... deal."
The man's disembodied voice echoed in the crow's ears.
For a poor man whose whole family died in a bizarre incident and who is left alone and helpless, what else does he have to fear losing?
For a weird investigator who seems to be omnipotent and has a high level of force, but every time he sees a weird thing knocking on the door, his legs and feet will become weak, and he will even faint, what else is he afraid of paying?
No need to think twice.
Crow faced the gray fog and sat on his knees with a solemn expression, "Excuse me, what price do I need to pay."
Gray Mist said: "You should first ask what kind of weirdness you want to accommodate."
"Of course, the higher the level of rules, the better."
"Be realistic. Even if I could give you a Pandora's box, you wouldn't be able to contain it. With your current mental strength and physical fitness, you can give it to D level at most."
"At least enough to defeat the knocking monster that killed my whole family, okay?"
Gray fog was silent for a while. It rolled and became busy. Soon, a gray eye the size of a fist emerged from the mist, rotating slowly, looking thousands of miles away, as if looking for something.
It finally stopped and replied:
"Among the stars and seas that I can see, among the mountains, rivers and lakes that you can reach, there is a weird thing that may meet your requirements, but I must remind you that even if you tolerate it, you can only say, A chance to beat that knocking weirdo.”
"Can I see it?"
"There is no right to choose, no right to predict, and no right to negotiate. Only by paying the price can you see its true appearance at the moment you accommodate it."
"What price do I have to pay?"
Gray eyes looked at Raven, scanning every inch of her body. After that, it pierced through the heavy shell she used to wrap her fragile heart and penetrated directly into the inside.
Finally, his eyes rested on her heart.
"You seem to have nothing, you can only pay for the future." Hui Wu said: "You will never get the one you love."
Crow was a little confused and said after a while: "Is it that simple?"
The shadow was stunned.
"Do you think this price is easy?"
"Weird investigators are not worthy of love," Crow's expression showed no emotion: "This is what I learned when I participated in the weird training. After I became a weird investigator, I found out that this is the absolute truth. We investigators I won’t fall in love with anyone.”
"That is to say..."
"I agree to carry out the transaction you mentioned..."
"as you wish,"
A gray hand emerged from the gray mist and reached straight into the crow's heart.
The hand grasped it briefly and squeezed it gently, as if it had really caught something invisible.
"Are you sure?"
Hui Wu seemed to want to give her a chance to regret her mistake.
"Take it away," Crow said with a relaxed expression, "I hope you take it away quickly."
"Weirdness is a trade, and no one gets away with it," the gray hands gradually tightened. "Soon, you will gain what you want, and at the same time, you will lose what you never thought of."
Listening to these words, looking at the scene in front of him, and feeling the strange touch of the gray hands entering his body, Crow gradually believed that the gray mist in front of him might really be a god.
It was God who heard her prayers and came all the way.
In other words, the devil. But Crow clearly sensed a hint of kindness and kindness in Gray Mist's words and deeds. Would the devil have such a kind heart?
The gray hand seemed to delay for a moment deliberately. Seeing that the crow had no intention of going back, he finally squeezed hard, grabbed the invisible object, and shrank suddenly.
He pulled away very quickly, as if trying to avoid the crow's pain.
But Crow still felt the sharp pain of tearing.
"This is the end?"
After the severe pain, Crow stood up and looked at his hands, "But I didn't feel any difference..."
"The weirdness you want to accommodate is to the west of Dongdu, a place that is usually difficult for humans to reach." Hui Wu said, seeming to be a little surprised, "I think... you have to go there yourself."
Crow was at a loss when he suddenly found that his body stood up uncontrollably...
She walked out of the office and closed the door...
Walked out of the headquarters building...
Got into a late night taxi...
…
Nara apartment basement.
Gu Xing paid ten years of life transferred from others for the weirdness that the crow was about to accommodate. Compared with Gu Xing's long life at this moment, the payment of these ten years seems a bit painless.
And Gu Xing's harvest was in his hands - a red and transparent heart-shaped mist with almost no weight.
"What is this for?"
[Actually, it can also be exchanged for life span in the black market of various worlds. It's just that it's lower than the lifespan you've paid for. It is a loss-making transaction]
[Of course, it is better to keep it in your own hands - with it, you have the opportunity to control the fate of the crow, a cold and beautiful investigator, is it exciting or not? 】
Gu Xing was not very interested in this.
"I can't hold it all the time, can I?"
[Although the weird rules have been implemented this time, the generation has not been officially confirmed yet - after completing the next procedure, there will be an extra book on the bookshelf of the "Weird House", and this heart-shaped fog ball will crawl through on its own. Into the book]
What are you waiting for……
[Please describe the grotesque image: it can be described by the describer, or alternative images can be provided by the grotesque hole]
"Let me see what options you have."
A man wearing a hooded sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers appeared on the note.
The man put on his hat and his face was in shadow, blurry.
Gu Xing looked at this image and frowned——
"Isn't this me?"
This outfit is clearly his favorite outfit in his spare time, and even this outfit is hanging in his own wardrobe at the moment.
【It was actually seen】
"Do you think I'm hiding too secretly?"
[I have another alternative here]
The small hole revealed a new portrait——
The face of a policeman wearing a police uniform and an Asahi shadow is also blurred. He was saluting Gu Xing.
"..."
"another!"
This time, it was a wall with a small hole as thick as a finger and surrounded by cracks.
"Change again!"
A new dynamic pattern——
Above Central Park, the sky was blue, with a huge black hole suspended in it, and a huge finger slowly stretched out from the black hole.
Helicopters and drones were surrounding the finger, and a reporter drove a flying motorcycle into the black hole.
At an entrance to the park, a policeman was maintaining order at the scene, and a child was pooping on the lawn.
Gu Xing was completely speechless.
【Don't be nervous. I don't think you should be too taboo about exposing anything. With your current capital, you can definitely make some harmless jokes with this malicious world, right?]
[What’s the point of always hiding behind the scenes and doing little tricks that not many people know about? It’s not exciting at all. How about we do something big? 】
[Even if they know that there is an unknown manipulator behind the black hole, so what?]
[Perhaps, they will even think you are God. Wow, not to mention the whole world, even in this country, as long as one tenth of the people regard you as a god, the benefits you can get are unimaginable]
[Yes, I said before that you cannot let others know the information about the Weird Cave. But didn’t you already see through it just now? Even if the information about the Weird Hole is exposed, you will be safe and sound. Moreover, of course they will not know about the Weird Cave, they will think that it is a god, a devil, a goblin, a grotesque, a superpower, or even Cthulhu, haha, be more energetic]
[Yes, as long as they can't find you, they can't kill you in reality. You are safe]
[Seriously, have you ever thought about throwing a cockroach, flea, bedbug, etc. into a hole? Or, a wasp? 】
