Start-up rebate: become stronger by brushing missions

Chapter 74 The Gift of Nature
"Huh, huh..."

The power of the mental storm made Zhang Rui feel as if he was about to pass out. He could no longer feel the pain caused by his mental exhaustion, and now he was about to enter a state of ignorance. Panting heavily.

In front of him, the headless boss had completely lost his human appearance and turned into a pool of ooze without substance.

Even so, it's still not completely dead.The viscous black liquid struggled up and down, trying hard to return to the appearance of a human being, but it still couldn't condense together.

It's really hard to kill... Is this the power of pollution...

Zhang Rui was speechless secretly, looking at the hotel owner who looked like a slime in front of him, he was filled with emotion.

But at this time it is no longer threatening.

As time passed, a faint ray of sunlight penetrated the end of the tunnel.Zhang Rui gradually recovered a bit of strength, and his mental strength also recovered a little bit, and because of the recovery of mental strength, he felt his head swelled up. This side effect was a bit serious, and the "body" of the headless boss became more and more limp. The frequency is also getting lower and lower.

Zhang Rui supported the wall and stood up, almost no black liquid had leaked from the altar.Since the headless boss was hit hard, the altar seems to be affected as well.

The body of the headless boss seems to be the source of power for the entire altar.

The flow of time seemed extremely slow, and Zhang Rui felt very uncomfortable.

Moreover, there is no notification that the mission is completed yet from the system, which means that there is still a key part of the whole supernatural incident that has not been resolved.

This……

Zhang Rui looked down at the body of the headless boss who was motionless. After making a short decision, he restrained his unconscious mind and raised his spirits to approach the altar again.

His intuition was not touched, and the spiritual pollution caused by the weird symbols on the wall was much lessened.

After some observation, he found that one after another slender conduits extended from the back of the altar, and the other end of the conduits was connected to a cylindrical transparent container, which was filled with gray mist.

Next to the container, a sophisticated instrument stood side by side, displaying various strange parameters.

... This is to force the woman's soul to die and stay in the world by means of storage?

Zhang Rui stared at the gray and white translucent woman on the display screen, compared with the appearance of the deceased woman on the altar, feeling thoughtful.

Next to the screen is a notebook with a black cover. It seems that it is due to frequent contact with liquids. The paper is not flat, showing bumps and wrinkles.

Reaching out and lightly touching the cover of the book, Zhang Rui didn't feel any pollution or corrosion, so he flipped through it carefully.

"……Hey."

After 15 minutes, Zhang Rui sighed softly.

Instead of continuing to read, he came to the front of the instrument and lightly pressed the red button on the lower right corner of the console.

Woo.

The machine trembled slightly, then stopped working.The gray mist in the container suddenly became a little disordered, and it was powerless to hit the barrier, but it couldn't shake it a little bit.

"Ding! The host has completed the mission 'The Secret of the Resort Hotel', and the 'Storage Ring' reward has been issued!"

"Ding! The total task time is nine hours, the score is s+, and an additional reward of 30 points for all attributes!"

"Zhang Rui!"

The figures of Yun Qian and his group suddenly appeared at the gate, and Bai Ze seemed the most excited, and immediately rushed up to check Zhang Rui's situation.

"Sister Bai Ze, why are you here?"

Bai Ze supported Zhang Rui's body, checked Zhang Rui's body, and said:

"It was the Ministry of Information that informed us that there was an abnormal extraordinary power fluctuation in your monitoring. In order to avoid accidents, we first organized the evacuation of the people in the hotel before coming here. What happened to you here, and why did you have such a big change? This altar?"

"Sister Bai Ze, the supernatural event of the singing voice should be caused by someone's 'sacrifice'."

"Sacrifice?!"

Zhang Rui was interrupted by Yun Qian before he finished speaking.

Sacrifice often points to the filth and corruption in the deepest part of the earth, the severity of which is incalculable!
Zhang Rui squeezed out a smile and continued:

"It's over, this is his diary."

Diary of a hotel owner.

Zhang Rui handed the black notebook to Bai Ze, smiled at Yunqian and the others, and passed out.

……

On the big soft bed, Zhang Rui, who regained consciousness for a short time, couldn't be calm for a long time.

At the age of 20, a boy and a girl meet and fall in love.

At the age of 25, the boy worked hard in society and transformed his ancestral home into a hot spring hotel, with some success.

At the age of 30, the girl is terminally ill and has very little life left.

The man is very desperate, and uses the soul container bought from the black market at a high price to imprison the girl's soul in the world by means of the "soul storage" in "Cheksnow's Notes".

Then, he secretly built an underground altar, and through deeper research on the handbook, he finally touched the secret of "soul return".

This is a sorcery that redirects the soul of a dead person back to the body at the cost of sacrificing one's own life, so as to achieve the miracle of resurrection from the dead.

He excitedly and detailedly recorded every step of his progress, as if his beloved girl was approaching him step by step.

Ultimately, he failed.He couldn't bear the pollution and erosion, and couldn't bear the secret and terrifying power. Before the girl returned, he had degenerated into an evil spirit, his sanity dissipated, his body was ruined, and only the nature of protecting his lover remained...

Bai Ze and the others should be able to find the "Cheksnow Notes" in the secret room...

Zhang Rui closed his eyes, lamenting the infatuation of the hotel owner, while thinking about what he wanted to protect.

He is the reborn, the one who has died once.

In the parallel world, he still felt the warmth of family affection, which was deeply imprinted in his bone marrow.

There are so many people who care about him around him, including buddies and members of the cleanup team.

He will face high civilizations, outsiders, and protect his own life.

He wants to protect his parents and the people he cares about.

He wants to protect this strange but familiar world!

Only get stronger!

Zhang Rui fell asleep again amidst such wild thoughts.

In the dream, he saw his parents, friends, and secret lover in his previous life.

He met Chen Xing, Ye Qingxin, Meng Xiaotu, and the head tigress.

He saw Yun Qian, Bai Ze, and the group members whose faces were blurred and whose names they still couldn't name.

I'm going to get stronger!

Beside the pillow, the blue metal cube suddenly shone brightly.

Perhaps it was the influence of Zhang Rui's will, or perhaps it was his firm belief that made his mental power improve. At this moment, the functions of the brain have been fully activated.

This time, Zhang Rui fell into a deep sleep.When I woke up again, it was just as the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was brightly lit, like a poem and a painting, full of beauty.

This is the gift of nature.

Zhang Rui commented very narcissistically, turned over and got out of bed to wash up, feeling refreshed.

No missed calls, just some text messages.

Ye Qingxin and Chen Xing didn't see Zhang Rui all day, and both sent several messages to care about the situation.

Zhang Rui smiled, and replied to the two of them on the grounds that he had something to do recently, and then clicked on Yun Qian's message.
