Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

The Abnormal Handling Bureau is very busy every day.

But it's rarely as busy as it is today.

Even in these days when exceptions are frequent, situations like today are rare.

Some of the common sense theorems they summarized and took for granted have changed today:

The Mist Game allows ordinary people to join, and the final reward for clearing the level is to be directly promoted to a B-level ability user, which is unreasonable in itself.

Perhaps this means that in the future, the threshold for playing the Mist game will be lowered from the original awakeners to anyone, and the influence of the Mist will be further expanded.

Moreover, in this special event, the eliminated contestants were transformed into an extremely special anomaly called "Universal Jigsaw Puzzle".

The universal puzzle can help anomalies evolve. This forced the Abnormal Processing Bureau, which originally had a positive attitude towards the Mist Game, to re-examine its views on the Mist Game.

There is one more thing. On the way to completing the mission, Action Team 5 was affected by multiple abnormal events and suffered heavy losses, and it was necessary to recruit additional action personnel.

In addition, through the occurrence of abnormal events, the Abnormal Handling Bureau discovered a key problem:

These abnormal events are not natural phenomena under rules as people perceive them.

Judging from the result of this incident, they at least have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, so they would pursue the "universal puzzle piece".

Once this phenomenon was submitted, it caused an uproar in the scientific research department.

Some people speculate that perhaps all abnormal events are essentially caused by some unknown abnormal creature, but they are still unclear about the life structure of this creature.

Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the instinct of all living things. Any living thing in the world adapts to the environment and survives better. The same may be true for abnormal events.

Based on this view, some relatively radical people have proposed that abnormal things themselves have consciousness, and perhaps they have communicated using a language that humans cannot perceive...

However, this view was quickly rejected by another group.

Another school of thought believes that, at least from the current signs, the independence of abnormal things from each other is more prominent.

Although there are occasional abnormal incidents based on complementary rules like the No. 4444 shuttle bus, in most incidents, once the attack rules of each other are triggered, there is no mercy in the fight.

Because of this, to date, the method of driving the tiger to devour the wolf is still the most commonly used method of the Abnormal Handling Bureau.

If the abnormal events were a group, or if they were aware enough, they should try their best to avoid this kind of competition being exploited, but this is not the case.

Faced with the unknown, all the Exception Handling Bureau can do is make assumptions based on facts.

It is difficult for either side to convince the other.

But at present, one thing is recognized, that is, a very special situation has now occurred in Dayuan City.

On the one hand, it was necessary to seal off Tuoxin Middle School as quickly as possible and try to rescue the 55 students inside.

On the other hand, they need to track down the whereabouts of those universal fragments. Once an anomaly absorbs the universal fragments and completes its own rules, it will be a nightmare for Dayuan City...

----

At this time, the students in the fog game knew nothing about the situation in the outside world.

At this moment, they are trying to run in the maze, the farther the better. The first problem facing them is how to make themselves eliminated later than others.

Some of them gave the answer. After the first level, the players adjusted their mindset this time - cooperate when it is time to cooperate, and take action when it is time to take action.

Therefore, many people start to test each other as soon as they meet. Once they find a flaw, the loser will be forced to "stay" where he is and wait quietly to be eliminated.

Among them, the transfer students took advantage of their special training and gained an absolute upper hand.

Li Daoxian was high in the sky, holding his chin, and taking in everything in the maze.

He spoke in a very standard commentary tone, whispering to everyone's ears:

"The competition has obviously entered a fierce stage now. No one wants to lose, so many people's actions are a little bit out of line. But it doesn't matter. This level is a punishment level. The rules allow you to use any means as long as you eliminate 20 people. Everyone, in such an environment, if you don't have the heart to be a hunter, you can only become the prey..."

Such explanations further exacerbated the tension of the situation.

Everyone is wary of everyone else, and it is difficult to catch someone off guard now.

Before the curse seed appeared, five eliminated contestants had already appeared...

But the chaos of the others had nothing to do with Wang Yu and Lu Zhicheng. In the incubator, Wang Yu's skin surface fell off, revealing mouths of different sizes. These mouths extended their tongues, revealing sharp teeth, and began to bite Lu Zhicheng...

----

Lu Zhicheng felt like he was trapped in a strange world.

This world seems absurd yet real.

The absurd thing is that in this huge square, there are countless people whose simple and irrelevant figures are drawn with crayons.

What is real is his feeling. Everything around him is giving him feedback at all times, and this feedback even far exceeds the feedback he usually gets in the real world.

After he tried to use mind reading to understand the inner thoughts of these dummies, his perception changed and he was able to perceive these people from a higher perspective.

However, this also led to the awakening of the square, from being deserted to becoming lively.

Lu Zhicheng thought he had done the right thing, but after the figures around him froze, Lu Zhicheng looked up and saw a scene he would never forget in his life.

A pale giant stood in the void, his face covered with a bone-like mask.

This square is actually just a part of his body.

It turned out that my previous perception was correct, there was indeed someone watching me from a higher place.

When Lu Zhicheng was thinking this, he found that his body was also changing. His body became pale. He touched his cheek with his hand. His nose bridge was sunken and his mouth was closed. He was about to become one of the worshipping figures around him.

"No!"

Lu Zhicheng expressed strong resistance.

It seemed to be effective, and its originally doll-like appearance regained his characteristic features.

A low rumbling voice sounded in Lu Zhicheng's ears. It was obviously the voice of the tall giant. His empty eyes were staring at Lu Zhicheng: "Eliminate them. No one is worthy of being above you..."

Cull?

As soon as Lu Zhicheng had this thought, he discovered that the pale figures that were stagnant in place showed signs of melting, and the square seemed to be swallowing them up...

Lu Zhicheng hurriedly shouted: "No! Who the hell are you? You want to teach me how to do things?"

The signs of melting disappeared...

But there seemed to be a crack in the sky, but it disappeared quickly...

The giant continued in a calm tone, "Do you need the affirmation of others? Do you need to prove your existence with facts? A truly strong person does not need the praise of the outside world. His heart is enough to support all consumption. Of course, this is considered arrogance by others."

"But, if you want to become a strong person, this is the only way..."

Lu Zhicheng shook his head: "I don't agree."

The giant continued: "A poor heart is the beginning of being unable to identify with oneself. Being happy with others and sad with oneself is the beginning of cowardice. The antonym of arrogance is weakness..."

Lu Zhicheng shook his head again: "Wrong, the antonym of arrogance is humility."

The tremors around him became more and more obvious. At first, Lu Zhicheng thought it was caused by the pale giant, but now he found that the giant seemed to be the pillar that maintained the stability of this space, and the tremors came from the outside world...

The giant spoke again, but this time his tone seemed a little hurried: "If you insist... then let's try it. After you have mastered power, can you maintain your humility..."

"You will find that...real strength never comes from the outside world, but from within yourself..."

As the giant finished speaking.

Lu Zhicheng's perspective began to rise rapidly, and he turned into a giant and took control of this world.

He also saw more through the giant's pupils...

At the same time, a voice sounded in his ears.

"No one invited you to express your own opinions..."

——Lu Zhicheng saw how he used mind reading to forcefully understand what happened...

"You can't tolerate false endings..."

——After seeing that those people did not receive equal sanctions for various reasons, Lu Zhicheng chose the simplest understanding and paid life for life...

"You think your words are more important than others..."

——The people that Lu Zhicheng had judged before had the word "Guilty" engraved on their puppet bodies.

“You crave admiration…”

——The person whom Lu Zhicheng judged guilty wrote a confession in his flesh and blood.

Everything happened in a coherent manner before Lu Zhicheng's eyes, as if he was watching a movie in person.

The bright red splashed out so much that Lu Zhicheng couldn't help but wipe his eyes.

The giant's voice echoed in his ears, then gradually faded away: "Is this what you want..."

Lu Zhicheng's body froze.

The face beneath the giant's bone mask was a mocking smile on his face. He himself...

----

Lu Zhicheng rubbed his head.

Wang Yu didn't need to look. From the pressure the other party gave him, he knew that the other party had condensed the body of the Curse of Pride, so he asked softly, "How do you feel?"

Lu Zhicheng was still a little dazed. He pressed his throbbing temple with his thumb and said hesitantly:

"I felt like I had a long dream. In the dream, I saw many people. They wanted me to judge whether they were right or wrong. I judged... and then, they died."

Wang Yu wiped himself and asked, "Do you feel guilty for killing them?"

Lu Zhicheng shook his head.

In the dream, he received more detailed information than he could imagine, and he knew exactly what had happened.

Those he judged were all scum, and they deserved to die, but...

"They deserve it, it just feels too real."

Lu Zhicheng recalled the scenes in his dream. It was as if he was watching the review process and... the execution process from a higher perspective...

Wang Yu said softly: "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't disagree with your own behavior, there will be no problem."

He flicked his skin, making a crisp sound like metal colliding, and continued, "This thing will provide us with great help, but at the same time, we need to keep our will clear at all times, because they are always thinking about how to distort our cognition."

This sentence was not said by Wang Yu.

In the simulator, these were the words that Lu Zhicheng said when Wang Yu was transformed into an incomplete cursed body.

And now, Wang Yu is returning this sentence to its original owner.

Lu Zhicheng was slightly stunned and stood there.

Through his mind-reading ability, he also discovered that these words came from his mouth.

He had a very strange feeling that the things he had said in the future were now being told to him through someone else's mouth.

Wang Yu looked at Lu Zhicheng strangely.

It’s a bit strange why Lu Zhicheng didn’t react. Is it because his experience was different and so he wasn’t deeply touched?

However, when Lu Zhicheng told him this, he had also just been infected and turned into a cursed body. It was these words that made him understand the way to contain the curse.

But after thinking about it, Wang Yu understood a little.

Well... perhaps it was because they were in contact with incomplete cursed bodies at that time, so they felt the erosion of the curse on their consciousness deeply, but now the erosion they have suffered is obviously much less.

Wang Yu sighed: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now. The further you go, the deeper the influence of the cursed body will be. Then you will understand what I am saying."

……

Li Daoxian was still observing the situation in the maze, but his attention was more focused on Wang Yu, Li Ting and Lu Zhicheng.

The reason is also very simple.

A little experiment.

Although they were in different worlds, he found that the two worlds had similar things - luck, or destiny.

With the help of this event, Li Daoxian was able to figure out the relationship between fate and individuals, and how fate would push the people it favored to the right position...

Wang Yu, Li Ting and Lu Zhicheng were all naturally purple red, and the next ones were Long Muba and another girl, who were only a little lighter red, with a clear difference.

Although Li Daoxian was unable to see the whole picture, with just a quick glance he could see their future, which was as complicated as a spider web and intertwined with other people.

These three people must be extraordinary and will definitely leave their names in history.

And the facts have also proved that people who are favored by luck are indeed extraordinary.

After being given ample opportunities, these three people's awakened abilities became extremely extraordinary.

Simulator, clearance tips, mind reading, any one of them is an ability that can reverse the situation. Compared with these three, the abilities of other students are like the stars beside the bright moon, there is no comparison at all.

The Snake Seal Contract in the Black Card is a test.

The Seed of Curse is also a test.

The difficulty of the two is obviously different, but the final result is not surprising.

These people used their own methods to take all the benefits that they had deliberately left at this level, which created a clear gap between them and the others.

Is this the effect of luck?

interesting.

The fusion of curse seeds is almost impossible in itself, but Wang Yu and Lu Zhicheng used different methods to complete the fusion and forged their own cursed bodies.
