I Was Once a Legend

Cui Zuojing hurried to the study room, Victor was lying in the cat litter on the table, surrounded by stacked hardcover books.Hearing the sound of Cui Zuojing pushing the door in, the white cat raised its head with some difficulty, its ears stood up straight, and its amber eyes were filled with the same gentleness as always.

"Uncle, how do you feel?" Cui Zuojing stretched out his hand and asked softly.Fu Zhe followed behind him and closed the door.

"It's okay." Victor rested his front paws on the boy's palm lightly, his voice was low and indescribably weak, "My first seal has been released."

"I know, Dong Linhai told me everything at that time." Cui Zuojing paused, and finally couldn't hold back, "How could you be so impulsive at that time? If you didn't remove the seal in time, wouldn't it be— —”

"If I hadn't stood up, Linhai might not have been able to get out of the box." Victor said, flicking the tip of his furry tail, "I thought that with the power of the owner of the body, even if it really came out No matter what happens, you won’t be killed by a single blow.”

Cui Zuojing didn't speak, just looked at him silently.

After all, Victor was still defeated under this kind of gaze, and meowed: "Well, I rushed up subconsciously at that time."

Cui Zuojing sighed, hugged Victor in his arms, and stroked his back: "I knew it was like this."

Fu Zhe leaned back on the edge of the table, and said: "You are no longer a human body whose strength and endurance have been strengthened to the peak. If you encounter this situation again in the future, don't be impulsive. If something really happens Well, the meaning of Ah Zuo's return this time is lost in half, and his physical strength will continue to attach to the next master, and it will be troublesome enough just to find that person."

Victor nodded, but still didn't make the promise of "not next time".

"By the way, what about the box?"

"I passed it very smoothly and explored the final true ending. It probably left a lot of psychological shadow on everyone. Although no one has revealed it yet, it must be uncomfortable in private."

Victor and Cui Zuojing looked at each other, but they didn't ask how the ending would be. Since the purpose of the box was to create and collect despair, there was no need for him to let his mood be affected.

"How is Linhai?"

Fu Zhe: "His ability really showed the trend of evolution. At the critical moment of life and death, he changed the shape of the dagger, saving his life and Lin Hang's life."

"Metal control..." Victor pondered, "It's a very practical ability."

Cui Zuojing: "Yeah, the silly kid is finally not so stupid and bad. Find someone to teach him, and he should improve very quickly."

Victor nodded. After all, he had just woken up from an overdrafted coma. He was still very tired, and he was not able to adapt to the physical state after the unblocking. He curled up in Cui Zuojing's arms.

Fu Zhe: "After you unblocked, did you get any information from body elements?"

"Prisoner, servant, messenger, master." Victor whispered, "This is our title under the queen's triple seal, and it is also a test given to us by elemental power. Every time a seal is released, our level will increase accordingly. And after finally cracking the triple seal, he will become the true master of the elements."

Only then did Cui Zuojing know that he would get news after breaking the seal, and asked Fu Zhe, "What did you get when you broke the seal?"

"Some secrets of the law of space and time, this is more mysterious, not easy to explain."

Seeing this, Cui Zuojing didn't force Fu Zhe to speak out, and the two said something that only the three of them knew, then they stopped disturbing Victor and walked out of the study.

As soon as he went out, Cui Zuojing was a little surprised to see Dong Linhai leaning his back against the wall, staring down at his toes and waiting silently.He was as tall as an adult man, but the outline of his face still had a hint of youthful childishness.

Seeing Cui Zuojing and Fu Zhe come out, Dong Linhai raised his head, hesitant to speak.

It was rare for Cui Zuojing not to hate him on purpose, pointed to the door, and said, "Go, uncle wants to see you too."

Dong Linhai's gloomy eyes lit up immediately, he bit his lower lip, and pushed the door impatiently to enter.

"uncle."

"Linhai." Victor seemed to have expected that he would come, and smiled while lying on the table, "I heard from Zuo that your real ability is metal control. You have found the true form of your ability so quickly. Very talented."

"Ah, really." Dong Linhai scratched his head in embarrassment after being praised generously by Victor, but he didn't come here this time to talk to Victor. He sat at the table and asked, "How do you feel physically? When I saw you being hit by Pan Chuangen, I was really scared to death."

"If you can't break it, you can't stand it." Victor smiled, "As you can see, I was lucky enough to break the first seal."

Dong Linhai pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, touched Victor's head, and said firmly: "Uncle, from now on, I will never let anyone fall into danger to protect me. It was useless to blame me before, now that there are If I have the ability, I will definitely be able to do it alone."

Victor rubbed against his palm, and said softly, "I believe it."

The others were still waiting downstairs, Cui Zuojing clapped his hands and successfully attracted everyone's attention.

"Fu Zhe has sorted out some information and will send it to your mobile phones later. Tonight, try to read the top [-] scp items selected by him, understand the Cthulhu mythology system, and then take a good rest. The physical training will start tomorrow. , by the way, I want to test the information I read today."

Allen raised his hand: "Will those who behave badly be punished!"

"Of course." Cui Zuojing smiled brightly, "How can it be an incentive if there is no punishment? The specifics...you will know tomorrow."

Lin Hangzhi and Dong Zheng made the dinner together. Lin Hangzhi has been single for a long time and has a strong ability to take care of himself. Dong Zheng helped him and learned how to do it by the way.

What Cui Zuojing said is right. This place is completely different from the real world. There are many places that he needs to change and learn. He is no longer the Dong Zheng who was occupied by work all his life in the past.

A table of people had a lively dinner, and Dong Linhai continued to practice his ability while the iron was hot. Now he can easily change the spoon into various shapes, and even bent a small flower with an iron spoon to give Alan a hand. he plays.

And his ability...doesn't seem to have any usage restrictions?Unlike Allen who is easily exhausted, Dong Zheng will have a headache and be unable to concentrate if he uses too much. Lin Hangzhi comes with a debuff, and he seems to be able to use it any number of times without feeling tired.

It may also be because the spoons he uses for testing are the simplest ones, and there may be restrictions on switching to other metal objects in the future.

Fu Zhe took the dagger to Linhai, "It's not clear whether the mechanism of your ability is to change the arrangement of metal atoms or something else, but it doesn't matter, you can try it first."

"Okay." Dong Linhai happily took it and fiddled with it, trying to recall the mysterious feeling, but still failed.

He was not discouraged either, Dong Zheng was about to go back to his room, he passed by him, and said: "Don't patronize the experiment, you have to read the materials carefully."

"Got it." Dong Linhai turned his head and smiled at him, "I know SCP and Cthulhu very well."

Dong Zheng saw that Linhai knew what was in his mind, so he stopped talking, went back to his room and sat at the desk and began to read Fu Zhefa's materials. After a while, he felt tired, so he lay down on the bed to read.

Still in the real world, he seldom has a leisurely time like this, and he bears too much social pressure. On the contrary, he is not as pure as when he only has the purpose of survival now.

Fu Zhe sent three file packages, namely the excerpts of the SCP Foundation project, Cthulhu Mythos, and the Norse Gods.

Dong Zheng started to look at SCP. Since Cui Zuojing mentioned SCP, he took the initiative to learn about it. It is undeniable that this is an excellent collective creation project, and the imaginative brain hole in it can indeed be contained in a box. Gives a lot of inspiration for deciphering.

The clinical experience looked a bit tiring, but Dong Zheng was very patient. After reading [-] items in a row, he put down his phone and prepared to take a rest.

The door was knocked at this time, Cui Zuojing looked out from the outside, pushed the door in very consciously, and asked: "How is your ability training going? I heard from Fu Zhe that with his help, you can already go smoothly. Is it inside the kernel?"

"Yes." Dong Zheng sat up from the bed, watched Cui Zuojing come and sit beside him, and said, "But it is still a bit difficult to take the initiative to enter, it seems to have reached a bottleneck, and there is still a lack of opportunity."

"You are already very fast. The spiritual department is probably the most difficult to control among all abilities. It took Fu Zhe more than a year to control his ability."

"If it wasn't for his help, I wouldn't be so fast."

"So Fu Zhe asked me to bring this to you." Cui Zuojing took out the small box from his pocket, and Dong Zheng saw that he opened the box carefully, and there was a copper bell inside, and the tongue of the bell was fixed with rosin.

"To test you, can you guess which SCP Fu Zhe made this thing?"

Dong Zheng picked up the bell, thought for a while, and said, "Cow bell?"

"Not bad." Cui Zuojing was a little surprised, Niu Ling was not in the resources Fu Zhe currently gave, "How do you know?"

"I checked scp before and browsed through the directory, and it seems that I only saw this one about the bell."

"Then do you know the function of the cowbell?"

Dong Zheng shook his head: "I didn't look carefully, but since it was made by Fu Zhe, it should have something to do with mind control."

"scp-513, Cowbell, Class Euclid, the sound made by it causes anxiety to any creature who hears the sound, and causes the victim to suddenly glimpse anomalous creatures when turning their heads, passing windows, mirrors, opening doors, and Constantly disturbed and attacked by this abnormal creature in sleep, resulting in extreme tension and panic, causing the victim to suffer from sleep deprivation, stress, mental breakdown, and finally suicide."

"After questioning, all victims indicated that the anomalous creature was an overly emaciated humanoid with unusually large hands."

Cui Zuojing shook the cowbell casually, the tongue was sealed and did not make a sound, he raised his eyes to stare at Dong Zheng, and said with a smile: "Do you want to try?"

Dong Zheng: …………………

He sighed: "It seems that since I told you that I am afraid of supernatural things, you especially like to scare me."

"Who told you to take the initiative to expose your weaknesses to me, but don't worry about it, everyone has weaknesses, so don't feel embarrassed."

"Then do you have any weaknesses?" Dong Zheng asked back.

"Of course I have a weakness." Cui Zuojing smiled slyly, and tapped Dong Zheng's chest, "Isn't your weakness my weakness?"

Dong Zheng was stunned, and then realized that Cui Zuojing was referring to the blood contract, and the injuries he suffered would also appear on Cui Zuojing, which was naturally his weakness.

He dodged his eyes for a moment, settled down, and said, "Okay, are you going to use this on me?"

This is a prop made by Fu Zhe, and it is not a real cowbell. It should only have the effect of allowing him to enter the illusion without Fu Zhe being present.

"Well, Fu Zhe wants to test your ability." Cui Zuojing gestured, "Lie down."

Dong Zheng lay back on the bed again, tilting his head slightly to look at Cui Zuojing.

"Do you like to sleep on your back?" Cui Zuojing sat on the edge of the bed, propped up the bed with one hand, and held the cowbell in the other, and asked, "Then shall I start?"

Dong Zheng hummed, Cui Zuojing put on the earphones, turned on the music on the mobile phone, and carefully took out the rosin that sealed the bell tongue amidst the noisy DJ sound, and flicked his wrist.

jingle--

The moment the crisp sound of the bell was caught by Dong Zheng's ears, his eyes suddenly blurred, the bed under him disappeared along with the floor, and the weightlessness suddenly enveloped his whole body.

He fell heavily, into the endless darkness below.

Dong Zheng seemed to have lost consciousness the moment the bell rang. Cui Zuojing observed him, looked at the bell again, and asked curiously, "Is it really so magical?"

So he took off the earphones and tried shaking them again.

jingle--

The young man's bright black eyes lost all clarity, he paused for two seconds, lost all support and fell face down on the unconscious Dong Zheng.

The bell rolled down from his hands, and after making a series of noises, he lay quietly on the quilt.
