Chapter 917 Chu Chu: You must be a dream ghost!
The log stated that scientists at Yuchuan Company tried to use the strongest and most determined people they selected to conduct experiments in order to stimulate the energy in the strange tissues they collected by chance.
And guided this energy into the bodies of the experimental subjects. Most of them went crazy and died, but a few survived and gained extraordinary powers.
However, these people often change their temperaments drastically after awakening their powers. They become extremely cruel and even begin to devour soul coins and eat human flesh in a weird way.
The only difference from being weird is that they still retain a certain degree of human cognition and are dispatched by the company.
Research records show that the stronger the negative emotions of human beings, the stronger the special energy contained in the air will be. These energies are absorbed and discharged by the monsters, which can sustain their life needs or make them stronger.
When a large amount of negative human emotions gather in one place, new weirdness can be created.
"So, the weirdness of this world is likely born from the hearts of humans? And humans, in turn, are enslaved by their own negative emotions, creating a new cycle?"
Lu Li said with a frown.
"It's very troublesome, because this means that the monsters can't be killed off, unless we kill all the humans first."
Aizen said.
"Well, after calming down and thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing unacceptable. How can I know if I can't kill them all without trying? As long as I kill them fast enough, I will eventually finish them all."
Lu Li said, "Besides, if they can keep producing monsters, I can keep eating them to become stronger. Isn't that great?"
"Brother Lu, sometimes I really envy your optimistic brain."
Aizen smiled when he heard this, "According to this calculation, we are standing at the top of the pyramid."
"Isn't it? Look through it again to see if the company has any information on strange origins, or the scrolls I'm concerned about."
Lu Li urged, not expecting that the data from the company's host would give them so many surprises.
After operating for a while, Aizen shook his head and said, "It is unrealistic to try to figure out the strange origin of this world, but the scroll you are looking for is at the headquarters of Yuchuan Company. They analyzed the principles of the exercises on the scroll and used it to train the Ayas team."
His fingers tapped on the keyboard, and the scene changed. "And I found some extra gains."
Lu Li looked at the employee photo that Aizen had selected on the screen. Although the employee was wearing an unfamiliar OL outfit, the face was very familiar to Lu Li. He asked in surprise, "Chu Chu?"
"It seems that Brother Lu's exclusive blacksmith is very lucky. It is not easy to survive for so long in such a harsh world. She is now in charge of the Haggis Mine and the arsenal next to it. She is considered an elite here."
Aizen was also in a good mood. It wasn't that he was worried about Chuchu's safety, but he couldn't help but be infected by Lu Li's heartfelt smile.
The two quickly finalized the target of the operation, cleaned out the secret base and burned it, then disappeared in District 13.
…………
It was another sleepy day in the Haggis mining area. Chuchu completed a new round of debugging of the mining robot and drank a sip of clean drinking water.
In Sex and the City, purified water is something that only the elite can afford. Most people only drink Gurugram, a red drink that gurgles and bubbles. It tastes very sweet, but is generally refreshing.
Especially after working out and sweating, drinking a sip of cool Guru Beer will make you feel refreshed.
Its low price means you only need one soul bean to buy a box of it. Compared to purified water, it tastes better and sweeter, and it also has the refreshing feeling of bubbles, which makes it the most popular drink in Sex and the City.
In fact, ordinary people generally have no choice, because purified water is more expensive than Guru Beer, has no taste, and cannot replenish sugar energy. Of course, ordinary people would rather drink Guru Beer than water.
Chuchu also drank Gurugram once at the beginning. To be honest, she felt that the drink was not bad. It even reminded her of the taste of cola in the space.
But once she saw the production process of Gulujiang and learned that it was some kind of strange body fluid, she never wanted to touch Gulujiang again.
Moreover, she also knew that this kind of high-sugar carbonated drink has a great impact on the health of the body, especially since her physical condition is not that good, she will suffer from related diseases faster than ordinary people.
Drinking large amounts of gulu syrup all year round is by no means a healthy behavior. Excessive sugar can cause obesity and increase the burden on various organs, while frequent intake of carbonic acid can also make people's bones brittle.
If you live like this for just twenty years, you will develop various diseases even if you are still a young person according to common sense.
Chu Chu glanced at the fat guard who was clinking glasses with GuruJiang in the distance, put down the cup, tapped the last button, and watched the robot start working. It was like she had a chance to relax for a while.
At this moment, her mouth was suddenly covered, and then she was dragged into the shadows of the house by a huge force behind her.
Chu Chu was so frightened that her eyes were filled with panic and her hands and feet were struggling because she thought she was being held hostage by some cyber madman and that all kinds of unspeakable things would be done to her and then she would be disemboweled.
"Don't get excited, it's me."
When Chu Chu was desperate and panicked, she heard a familiar voice coming from behind her.
At this moment, the big hand full of warmth moved away from her mouth. Chu Chu was still in shock and turned her head stiffly. After seeing the face clearly, she felt it was a little unreal for a moment.
"I am the manager of the Haggis Mine Area of Yuchuan Company and the chief designer of the arsenal here. I am still valuable to you. You can't treat me like this!"
Chuchu's voice was trembling, but Lu Li couldn't understand what she said, "Dream Ghost... Please believe me, I will definitely be more valuable if I live!"
The dream ghosts she was talking about were a kind of terrifying spiritual monster. They were invisible during the day and only manifested creepy forms in the dark. Everyone who saw them would feel like they had seen the most terrifying nightmare.
But on the contrary, as its name suggests, the dream ghost will control people's minds, making them see hallucinations and enter the most beautiful dreams. In the dream, you will see the most beautiful things and indulge in sweet dreams.
But since it is weird and has the word "ghost" in it, it is definitely not a philanthropist. It makes people dream of the most wonderful things, so it is naturally not meant to make people happy.
On the contrary, the Dream Ghost does this to make people fall into the abyss suddenly when they are most relaxed and comfortable. In this way, after the previous comparison, the cry of despair will be more pleasant against the backdrop of hope.
Chu Chu's first reaction at this time was that a dream ghost was targeting her, otherwise how could she have met that damn bastard?
So she quickly revealed her identity, stated her value, and begged the Dream Ghost to let her go because of her status as a senior employee.
"neat……"
Lu Li's face darkened a little, because he knew that Huanmenggui must be a weird name, "I haven't seen you for only a month, don't you recognize me?"
Chu Chu retreated again and again, looking at Lu Li with more and more fear, until she retreated to a corner with nowhere to retreat, her eyes full of despair, "Don't lie to me, I'm not as easy to fool as ordinary people, the illusion you created is full of loopholes!"
She crossed her arms over her chest, shaking all over, because she had heard that people whose souls were sucked by the Dream Ghost died in a very miserable way. "That guy... although his charm is not very high, he would never reveal such an ominous aura!" She didn't even need to use high-level props to calculate the attributes. She could see at a glance that the charm value of the monster in front of her must be below -30 points, which was much lower than Lu Li's charm.
With her humble nature and from a mortal's perspective, if she were not familiar with this kind of face, she would have thought that the creature in front of her was indescribable.
"Chu Chu... I didn't know whether to be happy or angry for a moment."
Lu Li was speechless. He was sure that he had found the right person. It was a good thing to see Chu Chu was safe and sound, but the other party actually thought he was weird.
He raised his hand and touched his face. "I have eaten a lot of weird things recently, but it's not to the extent that I would be considered weird by my acquaintances, right?"
Chu Chu was still extremely nervous. She saw the monster in front of her was still walking towards her with Lu Li's face facing her. She grabbed the ballpoint pen on the table and put it against her neck, "Give up, Dream Ghost, I will commit suicide and never let you dominate my soul!"
"Chu Chu, Brother Lu will be very sad if this happens."
At this time, Aizen's voice came from outside the door. He walked in and closed the office door. He was still well-dressed, with a warm smile on his face.
"Damn it, did I underestimate the power of the Dream Ghost? It can even imitate someone with such high charisma!"
However, Chuchu did not let down her guard and pointed the ballpoint pen in her hand at Aizen.
"Hahaha...Sosuke, there will be a day when you are misunderstood too."
Lu Li laughed heartily, feeling very happy.
It's strange to say, even though Aizen used the Sword Keeper's method with him to devour monsters, his charm attribute has recently been epically enhanced, while Aizen's charm has not been enhanced at all and he still has the original charm.
Lu Li felt that this might be because Aizen was not paying attention when eating. Unlike him, he not only savored the strange taste carefully, but also absorbed the strange negative energy and felt the principle of the strange power deeply.
"Brother Lu, if you keep laughing so happily, I'm afraid Miss Chuchu will do something irrational."
Aizen said helplessly, he didn't know what Lu Li was so happy about.
Lu Li stepped forward and grabbed Chu Chu's hand, letting her grab his clothes, "Look carefully, use your detection props, take a look at me and it will be clear to me."
Chu Chu came back to her senses from her panic and took out the reconnaissance props she often used in the space. This prop could be used to customize equipment for Lu Li, so naturally the range of attributes that could be seen was extremely wide.
After she used the props to read Lu Li's basic information, she finally relaxed as she felt the texture of the familiar equipment on her fingers.
Then she felt inexplicably ashamed and punched Lu Li in the chest, "Asshole, why did you come here just now!?"
Lu Li grabbed Chu Chu's hand and said, "Be careful, don't break your bones. The communication equipment in this world is not working. We are lucky to find you."
Chu Chu was held by Lu Li's wrist. Feeling the heat coming from his palm, her eyes became more and more unnatural. "After all, this place... I thought you..."
"You think I didn't choose the world you're in? How is that possible? I would still come even if it's level nine difficulty."
Lu Li said, understanding Chu Chu's concerns.
Because this world has the highest basic difficulty and is obviously a native world with a very high mortality rate. To be honest, if you act rashly when you first land in the city, you may die quickly.
Chuchu stayed in this place for more than a month. She didn't have a bird's eye view, and the communicator couldn't connect. The first thing she thought of was that the communicator couldn't find a paired target.
After a month, she was probably driven crazy by this damn place and thought that Lu Li had never entered this world, so it was understandable that she would react as she did.
Chuchu is usually a strong and proud girl. The look she just showed also indirectly reflects the madness of this world, which makes her unable to remain calm.
"Hmph... you still have a conscience."
Chuchu whispered.
"More than just a conscience, I've been thinking about you since I landed. Next time, don't use this cheap communicator."
Lu Li said that the communicator Chuchu chose was a mid-range model in the End Space. Generally speaking, it can be used in most worlds with an upper difficulty level of level eight, but the basic energy level of this world is too high, so its radio wave signal strength is insufficient.
What surprised Lu Li was that Chu Chu did not argue with him this time. She just lowered her head and hummed softly, with her face hidden in the shadow of her hair, making it impossible to see her expression.
"By the way, what kind of weird thing is a dream ghost? Why do you feel like you are experiencing an illusion when you see me?"
Lu Li asked curiously. He was always particularly sensitive about the authentication of his human identity.
"You've been in Sex and the City for so long, and you don't know what a phantom ghost is?"
This time it was Chu Chu's turn to be surprised, "The Dream Ghost is what makes people dream..."
Having said this, Chu Chu suddenly paused.
"What are you dreaming about?"
Lu Li asked, he was very curious.
"No...nothing..."
Chu Chu's tone was stiff, and her pretty face was slightly flushed. Seeing Lu Li approaching, she stretched out her hand and pushed Lu Li's chest, "Nothing! Anyway, I just dreamed of vicious and terrifying scenes!"
Lu Li scratched his head when he heard that and looked at Aizen, "Sosuke, do I really look vicious now?"
Seeing that Lu Li's brain circuits were unusual and he only focused on the evil, Chu Chu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Aizen glanced at Chuchu with a faint smile on his face, "To be honest, Brother Lu, your charm has dropped to minus thirty points. You should know that yourself."
Lu Li was a little frustrated when he heard this. "But this won't make my acquaintances have nightmares about me. I will be too embarrassed to ask Chu Chu for equipment in the future."
Aizen looked out the window, "We'll talk about the specific effects of the Dream Demon later. Now we are in trouble. It's Team Ayas."
