“Absorb!”
Zhou Chen immediately knew how powerful the Mirror passive skill was and immediately absorbed it.
“I thought a physical attack immunity passive skill would drop, but this is also quite amazing.”
After absorbing this passive skill, Zhou Chen quickly felt a mysterious power modifying his body, making him sense something unusual.
“I seem to see some scenery around me… There are streets and rooms… These scenes are distributed with glass mirrors as the core. This feeling is really magical, indescribable.”
After quietly sensing the perception brought about by the passive skill Mirror, Zhou Chen prepared to test its core ability.
After sensing for a moment, he realized that the mirror closest to him was about a hundred meters to his left. He walked over.
He walked across the street that had been ruined by him and arrived before a small window. The glass on this window was the nearest mirror he could sense.
“Next, I will choose a destination, and then…”
After making a choice among the many mirrors he sensed, Zhou Chen suddenly charged towards the small window beside him.
If an ordinary person did this, they would definitely achieve the effect of having their scalp cut by the glass shards. However, Zhou Chen’s experience was different. The moment he hit the small window glass, his entire person disappeared. He instantly appeared beside a tall building more than 700 meters away and stood outside a glass window on the first floor.
After completing this miraculous teleportation, Zhou Chen looked at his surroundings and felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.
“Damn, this is awesome. Who can trap me in the future?”
He remembered the last time when he was surrounded by a large number of armed forces and had no choice but to use the precious teleportation talisman. He sighed with emotion. If he had this ability back then, he would not have to waste that precious talisman.
“This silver-ranked dungeon is really good. I killed a somewhat stronger monster and gained such a good thing. Hmm, I remember there’s another reward. It should be quite good too.”
Zhou Chen, who was in a good mood, remembered that the red specter had not only given him a passive skill, but it had also dropped a summonable creature.
He opened his inventory and began to check the details of the reward.
[Red Female Specter
Type: Low Silver Summon
This is a low Silver-ranked combat type evil spirit (Can advance after certain conditions are met).
It is connected to your mind and has a certain level of intelligence. It will loyally carry out your orders to death.
It has the various abilities of evil spirits, and also has the weakness of being restrained by the holy elemental attribute abilities. When you summon it and establish a spiritual connection, you will obtain more detailed information.]
“Looks quite good.”
After reading this simple introduction, Zhou Chen felt that this summon should be a good helper. Therefore, in a good mood, he continued to mutter in this uninhabited area,
“Come out, Little Red! Let me see your appearance!”
He reached out and grabbed the inventory space beside him, and took out a cold red light. This red light transformed and formed the image of a female specter dressed in red beside him.
This female specter was floating in the air. She was wearing a long red dress, and she had a delicate face and a tall and slender figure. Her appearance was quite good, but her expression was extremely cold. Coupled with her long black hair that reached her waist and a pair of pure black ghostly eyes, she looked very evil, making one feel a contradiction of terror and beauty.
“This… It looks pretty. I thought it would look the same as the previous female ghost. This system really understands people’s minds.”
Before summoning this female specter, Zhou Chen had been mentally prepared to get a ghost that looked as terrifying as the previous red-dressed female ghost as his subordinate.
However, from the looks of it, although this evil summon given by the system was still terrifying, that was only in terms of disposition. Its figure and appearance was compatible with human aesthetics. If it wore contact lenses and its disposition was not so cold, it could even dress up and debut.
While Zhou Chen was sighing in his heart, he realized that he had already established a connection with this cold red female specter. Subsequently, he obtained a lot of information about it. For example, it had physical immunity, could pass through walls, could teleport through mirrors, could cause physical and spiritual damage, was not afraid of the sunlight, and so on. It was aware of its current state. It was very intact and at its peak, and could be used at any time.
“Good. I’ll call you Little Red from now on.”
After digesting the information he had obtained, Zhou Chen gave this red female specter an ordinary name.
The red female specter immediately nodded at him and accepted the name through their spiritual connection.
“Little Red, your flaw is that you don’t know how to speak. However, the spiritual connection solves this issue, and you are a combat-type summon. It seems reasonable to not have this ability. Perhaps you can develop language skills after you advance.”
From the information he had just learned, Zhou Chen realized that Little Red could not speak, but it had the possibility of leveling up. It should be able to do so when it was a little stronger.
“There seems to be an evil entity in a room three kilometers away. Little Red, let’s go and destroy it.”
After giving the red female specter a name, Zhou Chen wanted to test its strength.
In the blink of an eye, they entered the glass window and disappeared. After four consecutive mirror teleportations, they arrived at the interior of a dark room almost instantly.
At this moment, they appeared beside a mirror placed on a table in the room. In a corner of the room, a terrifying female ghost with four strangely long limbs was hanging on a rope. She slowly turned her head to look at them and shook the long tongue that was stuck out of her mouth.
Without needing Zhou Chen to give the order, once Little Red confirmed the enemy, it flew over like a red shadow and attacked the long tongue female ghost.
Scarlet fingernails that were more than twenty centimeters long appeared on Little Red’s originally pale hands. She easily pulled the head of the long tongue female ghost away from its body, displaying extremely high offensive power.
Her speed was also very terrifying. Before the female ghost could even react, its tongue and limbs were cut by the fast-moving Little Red. It quickly fell into a hopeless situation.
“This crushing strength… Although Little Red is not as strong as the red-dressed female ghost, she is not far from it.”
Soon, the female ghost with the long tongue died from her body being crushed by Little Red. Zhou Chen also determined Little Red’s level from this.
[You have killed the Long Tongue Ghost. Reward: Bizarre Sword]
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the Long Tongue Ghost’s passive skill “Long Tongue IV”. Do you want to absorb it?]
“There are both drops and passive skills? Looks like my summon’s kills are counted as my kills.”
The unexpected announcement from the system immediately made Zhou Chen realize this. He then leisurely read the introduction of the two gains.
[Bizarre Sword
Type: Low Silver weapon
This is a weapon and also a bizarre item. It has powerful abilities, but comes with a price.
Regular Mode: In this mode, you need to hold the bizarre sword to attack, causing mid-silver physical damage, cold damage, and a small amount of spirit damage. You will lose a minute of your lifespan for every second you use it.
Attack Mode: In this mode, the bizarre sword will transform into a huge flying sword that will automatically kill the surrounding enemies for you. At the same time, you will lose eight minutes of your lifespan every second.
Protection Mode: In this mode, the bizarre sword will transform into many flying swords that circle around you to block all kinds of attacks. At the same time, you will lose ten minutes of your lifespan every second. The stronger the attacks blocked by the bizarre sword, the greater the consumption.]
[Long Tongue IV
Type: Low Silver passive skill
Your tongue’s length will increase by 15 times. At the same time, it has become tougher than steel and can regenerate quickly if injured. It can cause physical, cold, spirit, and other damages. You can freely control it to attack the enemy.]
“This bizarre sword is okay, although I need to spend some lifespan. What is up with this passive skill, I don’t want to become a tongue monster.”
After reading the introduction of the two rewards, Zhou Chen immediately decided to give up on this new passive skill.
Then, he looked at Little Red who was quietly floating in midair.
“Little Red, I remember that you have the ability to hide in objects. You can hide in this golden ring on my hand for the time being.”
On Zhou Chen’s left index finger, there was a simple gold ring which he had always been wearing. He had custom ordered this ring during his first mid bronze Survival mission, in the Northern Snowfield dungeon. Not only was it very tough, but it also had the effect of doubling his spiritual power recovery. It had already accompanied him for more than a year.
After hearing Zhou Chen’s command, Little Red immediately entered Zhou Chen’s golden ring and completely disappeared. Zhou Chen also did not feel any change in the weight of his ring.
“In the future, I will just store Little Red like this when it’s not convenient to let her out. Time to search for other monsters now.”
Zhou Chen could sense some evil entities within ten kilometers through the mirrors. Although whether he gained the drops depended on luck, this was much more convenient than when he could not sense them.
In the following period, he began to search for more evil entities in the area. He brought Little Red to use the mirrors to teleport and kill these evil entities to obtain rewards.
However, it seemed like his luck had run out. He killed the several evil entities with Little Red after spending a lot of time, but nothing dropped.
“Am I being targeted by the world’s consciousness? How stingy. Looks like I have to go back.”
After spending some time without any gains, Zhou Chen began to return. He returned to the Blood Letter Apartment through the mirror teleportation and returned to his room.
He still had a few days in this world. Since he could not find many evil entities outside, he would just wait for this apartment to assign him a mission. There would definitely be many evil entities in the mission.
As for directly killing this suspected evil entity apartment, he did not have such a thought for the time being. On one hand, this apartment did not show any hostility to him, and on the other hand, he could not sense the location of the apartment’s true body as if it was really a magical apartment with mysterious abilities.
‘I feel like this apartment has something to do with the system. Maybe it’s the system’s child?’
Zhou Chen thought to himself as he sensed that the red female specter in his gold ring was intact.
He then called Little Red out of the ring and realized that even after she came out, the apartment did not show any rejection or suppressed Little Red.
The residents had said that the Blood Letter Apartment did not allow any evil entities to enter. Zhou Chen’s previous observations also proved it to be true, but now, it was being lenient towards his Little Red.
“Forget it, it’s almost time for the mission announcement.”
Zhou Chen then let Little Red go back in his ring and left the room toward the elevator not far away.
He was staying in room 512. There were many empty rooms on this floor, so he did not encounter any residents on the way. However, after entering the elevator and heading down, he saw He Jin waiting outside the elevator door on the third floor.
When He Jin saw Zhou Chen, he was instantly frightened. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and his body looked like it was ready to flee.
However, for some reason, after just half a second, he suppressed his fear and walked into the elevator.
“Brother Zhou, can you tell me if you’re the incarnation of this apartment?”
“?”
Zhou Chen was confused. He looked at him like he was an idiot.
“You’re thinking too much. If I were the embodiment of the apartment, I wouldn’t have arranged for you guys to deal with the evil entities. That would be meaningless.”
Zhou Chen did not know what to make of this apartment. It was completely a scam. It had pulled a group of ordinary people in to do missions to deal with evil entities, but it did not give these people any strengthening methods. The bizarre items they brought back would be confiscated, making him feel that this apartment was trying to exploit these residents to death.
“Is that so…” After hearing Zhou Chen’s reply, He Jin raised his hand to adjust his glasses and summoned the courage to continue asking. “Then, Brother Zhou, why are you different from us? Why can you easily defeat evil entities and kill people so casually? Are you really… a ghost that is pretending to be us?”
In the elevator, He Jin stared at Zhou Chen. He was looking forward to Zhou Chen’s reply, but he was slightly nervous. A drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
However, Zhou Chen clearly had no intention of attacking him. He only replied indifferently, “You are really curious. I don’t want to explain too much about this. I can only tell you that I’m a human and not some ghost in disguise.”
Zhou Chen replied to He Jin frankly, regardless of whether he believed it or not.
The elevator door opened again and they arrived at the hall.
“Don’t think too much. Go and eat something. It’s almost midnight, and the mission will be announced soon.” After speaking to He Jin, Zhou Chen stepped into the hall and sat quietly in a corner..
