Late at night, Nightmare.
A massive iron ball hurtled towards the clawed creature. With a sudden powerful kick of its hind legs, the creature leapt several meters to the side, attempting to evade the iron ball's trajectory.
However, just as the ball passed by, it suddenly bloomed like a flower at dawn. Countless metallic petals unfurled layer by layer, revealing a young girl inside.
Then the petals transformed into metallic vines, tightly wrapping around the creature.
"Got you, you scum~"
With a certain villainous lilt in her voice, the girl reached out a hand and placed it on the immobilized creature's head.
"Metal Manipulation: Five Chariots Dissection!"
With her unrestrained and exhilarating screams, the strange claws were suddenly torn into several pieces by the forcefully applied metal vines.
Blood spurted from the shattered limbs, drenching the young girl completely.
If it were the clean-freak Ah Zhi, she'd probably faint at this moment. But Chu Qingqing seemed to revel in it like a long-awaited rain, bathing in the hot blood, pressing her hand against her face, and laughing wildly:
"Ahahaha! Hahahaha! Hahahahahaha!"
"Could this girl have some sort of psychological disorder..." Xing Yuanzhi covered her sight with the back of her hand, quietly saying to Cheng Jinyang, "She seems really off, kind of like a psychopath."
"Her laughter sounds terrible," Wang Wanrou frowned slightly.
"Well, it's not that bad," Cheng Jinyang thought to himself, 'Eldest brother, don't laugh at second brother, neither of you are exactly normal people, okay?'
After venting her ferocity, Chu Qingqing turned around contentedly. The metal once again turned into liquid, enveloping her body... then dispersed again, leaving not a single trace of blood on her.
"It's such a convenient ability," Cheng Jinyang remarked, not remembering how many times he had marveled at it. "How did she do it?"
"Her clothes are actually made of metal," Xing Yuanzhi suddenly said. "As long as she decomposes and recombines, she can remove all the blood stains."
"Clothes made of metal?" Cheng Jinyang was about to say that sounds uncomfortable, but then he remembered this person can make metal as soft as liquid, well, that's not surprising.
"Even the skin," Wang Wanrou added.
"Are you saying she has a layer of liquid metal on the surface of her skin?" Xing Yuanzhi asked in astonishment.
"And it's extremely thin, hardly noticeable," Wang Wanrou said.
"It's such a convenient ability," Xing Yuanzhi also exclaimed.
In other words, she doesn't need to carry an umbrella or wear a hood when going out, nor does she need to wear gloves. The metal on her skin will keep all the dust out... Such a useful ability made Xing Yuanzhi incredibly envious.
"Jinyang." Chu Qingqing ran back, completely retracting her previous wild demeanor, and hugged his arm like a bird, "Let's go absorb some blood essence."
"Okay, everyone together," Cheng Jinyang calmly withdrew his arm from her embrace and called out to everyone.
Hmm, the touch was quite nice at first, so it's just a soft simulation of metal on the surface?
Disappointing.
The four of them gathered around the 'Weird' demon's body and quickly absorbed the blood essence to the fullest.
"I'm a bit tired, let's go back and take a shower," Xing Yuanzhi suddenly said.
"Wait, tired already?" Chu Qingqing wondered, "We've only killed less than 20 'Weird' demons tonight, right?"
Xing Yuanzhi shook her head. She couldn't tell Chu Qingqing that she was disgusted by her being covered in blood and wanted to go take a shower quickly.
"I don't feel like fighting anymore," Wang Wanrou chimed in, "We have training tomorrow, so let's rest for today."
"Fine." Seeing that the two girls were saying so, Cheng Jinyang could only comfort Chu Qingqing, who was unwilling, "Shall we go back to the safe house?"
"You guys go back first, I want to practice a little longer." The leveling maniac Chu Qingqing said, "I can still fight for another three hundred rounds."
Cheng Jinyang: ..........
"Okay, then you go solo here, and we'll wait for you to respawn in the safe house."
Back at the safe house, Xing Yuanzhi went to the bathroom, while Cheng Jinyang went to the bedroom to cuddle with Su Lili, soon feeling a bit sleepy.
"Lili, I'm going to take a nap for a bit," he sprawled out on the bed lazily, saying, "Wake me up if they knock on the door later."
"They?"
"Yeah, it's Ah Zhi, Wanrou, Qingqing, them..." Cheng Jinyang murmured and gradually fell asleep.
"Jinyang..." Su Lili tucked him in and then stared at his sleeping face.
"You're so cunning."
"...Even though you know, I can't see them at all."
Su Lili lay down on the pillow and stared at his side face silently.
Then she leaned closer to his lips, carefully brushing against them.
"Hmph." She felt a bit happy.
Continuing to lie beside Cheng Jinyang for a long time, Su Lili reluctantly got up, walked out of the bedroom, and closed the door behind her.
If someone were to look for Jinyang, they would definitely knock on the bedroom door, so she would know and could wake him up.
On the coffee table in the living room, there was a paper book. Despite the absence of any wind, the pages were slowly turning, as if an invisible hand were flipping them.
Su Lili stood with her hands behind her back, silently watching for a while.
Then she suddenly saw a pen beside her stand up and write a line on the edge of the book page:
"Hello, I am Wang Wanrou."
Su Lili: ???
This must be the one Jinyang mentioned, that Miss Wang who is clearly very intelligent and beautiful, but also arrogant and conceited? But looking at this delicate handwriting, she seems to be a very intellectual and elegant girl.
Another pen hovered in the air, then landed on the coffee table in front of her.
You can write.
Su Lili hesitated for a moment, then reached out and picked up the pen, writing below the other person's handwriting:
Hello.
Her pen paused for a moment.
I am Su Lili.
The floating pen did not hesitate, quickly writing beneath her message:
What is the way to dispel ghosts?
Su Lili was slightly puzzled, not understanding why the other person would ask her this question.
I don't know.
She truthfully replied in writing.
No, you should know.
The pen wrote again, its words penetrating through the paper, as if commanding her with a stern tone.
Think carefully, don't ponder whether you know the answer, but rather assume you know the answer, and then naturally write it down.
"I, know the answer?" Su Lili was somewhat bewildered.
She held the pen dumbfounded, thinking how could I possibly know the answer? The way to deal with ghosts is...
Energy field.
Su Lili: ???
Although she didn't understand why, when she thought of that question, the answer seemed to suddenly emerge from the depths of her heart.
Ghosts themselves can transform into forms of energy fields, and ordinary physical attacks cannot affect this form of a ghost. So, disrupting it with an energy field should work just fine.
High temperatures, light, electromagnetic waves, and even mechanical vibrations containing energy can all destroy the energy form of a ghost.
After pondering for a moment, Su Lili silently wrote down the answers that emerged in her mind on the pages.
The other person's pen paused for a long time before finally writing:
Thank you.
Su Lili looked at the two words 'thank you' and couldn't help but smile.
You're welcome.
She added a few more strokes at the end.
If possible,
In that world, please protect him for me.
