The first two were okay, Xiao Xiao had already learned the power of the three vicious dogs. As for the matter of demolishing the house, Xiao Xiao had heard their owners collapse and curse in the room many times before.
As for that old record player, Xiao Xiao has heard it many times. I remember one time during the Spring Festival, this record player played cheerful songs like "Gong Xi Fa Cai", but it actually gave off a feeling of the underworld...
But the butcher...
... Did the City Will accidentally expose important information just now?
Has that butcher really killed anyone? And he might be arrested at any time?
I had thought before that this butcher might be a pervert hiding in the streets, but this thought turned out to be true?
So, you should call the police now, right?
…
…
If it had been before all this happened, Xiao Xiao would have called the police without hesitation.
However, in just a few days, too many incredible things have happened around me. Even the Rat Man has seen it. It seems that there are many perverted killers and it is not incomprehensible.
Especially, the whole city is already full of monsters and perverted killers, who seem to be on his side.
He did not call the police, but unexpectedly kept calm and thought quickly:
"There is a possibility that the things being monitored are distorted. There is some kind of substance in the body that is 'abnormal' for this city."
"However, if these things are not truly deformed, I cannot destroy them."
"Otherwise, the city will treat it as murder or other illegal activities, and the points I have will be deducted..."
"..."
He was used to thinking under pressure, but now he felt that his thinking was very clear: "Veterans like Yang Jia and Ruanruan usually pay special attention or follow up after detecting it."
"Because once detected, these things will often break through the critical point and turn into aberrant creatures in just a few days."
"But I have lived here for a long time. They have always existed and have always given me this strong sense of danger, but they have always been like this. They have not turned into monsters like rat men..."
"Then, should I tell Yang Jia and the others about this now and kill them as soon as possible, or..."
I thought of the other option Ruanruan mentioned before, and I felt a little weird: "Buy them?"
Is it possible that these three can become the special items Ruanruan mentioned?
According to Ruanruan, as long as "abnormalities" and dangers are detected, they can be purchased and strengthened to observe whether these things will become distorted.
If distortion occurs, clean it up and exchange for points.
If there is no distortion, something with some special power can be formed, which is the "special item" that collectors like most.
Of course, the possibility of the latter is extremely low, which is one of the reasons why collectors are particularly difficult to follow and can easily go bankrupt.
You wouldn't be so lucky to see three of them at once, right?
Just looking at the three options flashing on the screen, I felt a little tempted: one hundred and thirty points, 90 points had been spent, and 40 points were left.
I can't buy anything else, but those three dogs...
Xiao Xiao suddenly thought of his neighbor's three vicious dogs with strong physiques, dark red eyes, and always staring at him with salivation...
Logically speaking, it is extremely unwise to spend thirty points to buy three vicious dogs.
But in those painful memories, they left such a deep impression on him. Xiao Xiao did not want to tell Yang Jia or Ruanruan about this matter, which was also due to this factor.
When a person is affected by their fear for four years, it creates a strange psychology.
No matter what these things are like, they already have a unique concept for themselves.
There is also a vague thought: "Since these things have brought me such deep fear, then when the whole world becomes a monster..."
"I buy them, make them my own, and then bring fear to others..."
"...Isn't it very comfortable?"
"..."
This inexplicable sense of venting made Xiao Xiao unable to suppress the thought even though he knew that this might be a loss-making investment.
It's just that I can't tell Yang Jia and the others this idea, and they will definitely not agree.
"I'm not betting on dogs, I just need to give it a try..."
After struggling for a long time, he became more and more excited: "I just bought three vicious dogs for observation."
"If those two things are distorted afterwards, or there are signs of distortion, I will tell Yang Jia and Ruanruan to solve them quickly."
"And just in case..."
"In case these three things really have the possibility of becoming special items, even if only one of them can, I will make a lot of money..."
"..."
I made up my mind and made a decision.
Of the forty points, thirty were set aside to purchase these three adorable hounds.
Having said that, among these three options, only these three hounds can be bought by oneself, and the other two cannot be bought.
Moreover, the price of those two items is so high, which makes them feel unreliable.
The ability of the old record player is just to make the opponent feel bad, so what's the use of it?
What if your opponent is in a bad mood and hits you with more energy? Isn’t it common that the angrier you get, the more you want to hit someone?
And the butcher...
...There is a saying that he has the highest combat power, and Xiao Xiao is also the most afraid of him.
Who is not afraid of the butcher who cuts large animals with a chainsaw every day?
However, this person has already broken the law. If he is caught by the Security Bureau just after buying him, wouldn't he completely lose his money?
Analyzing in his mind, Xiao Xiao completed the transaction.
He watched helplessly as his field of vision showed that he had only forty points left. After a beat, there were only ten points left.
Text pops up:
【Transaction complete】
[Three cute hounds already belong to you. When you need them, they will appear on the battlefield]
[Friendly reminder: Don’t bring it to your own home, the neighbors will sue you...]
【……】
"This belongs to me?"
Xiao Xiao tried his best to stick his head out from the window and took a look at the three hounds.
Then he saw that the three hounds were also huddled in the corner of the fence. They stretched their heads hard and looked at themselves in the window.
The look in their eyes seems familiar yet strange at the same time.
Like before, they didn't bark as soon as they saw themselves. They were quiet, tilted their heads, and could even vaguely look at them. The tail behind them was trying to shake towards themselves.
To describe this moment, it would be a confused face, and three honest faces looking at each other quietly through the window.
…
…
"It does seem to be a lot friendlier..."
Xiao Xiao felt somewhat confident that if he walked by them again now, they probably wouldn't bark at him as fiercely as before.
After purchasing these three vicious dogs, he also found a new message popping up:
[Name: Three cute hounds]
[Status: Can be strengthened]
[Amount: 100 points/time]
[Note: After strengthening, their ferocity will far exceed your imagination. In addition, their ability to demolish homes will also exceed your imagination...]
【……】
"There is a vague feeling that I have been fooled..."
Xiao Xiao's heart sank slightly. The price of strengthening was much higher than he thought.
Although the description is very tempting, it is a hundred points. How many rat people do you have to kill to earn it back?
Moreover, even if you spend these 100 points, it will only be strengthened to see the effect, and there is a high probability that it will not be a very cost-effective improvement.
However, after you have already purchased them, it is impossible for you not to strengthen them.
Otherwise, these three points would just buy three hounds?
Or is it more capable of demolishing a house than fighting?
Xiao Hao suddenly felt vaguely that the pressure was a bit too much, so he quietly withdrew his body and sat back in front of the computer.
In the yard not far away, the three vicious dogs saw him disappearing in front of the window, and at the same time they let out a disappointed grunt, and even their tails that were wagging crazily drooped.
As if feeling extremely disappointed, he started digging in the yard again.
When Xiao Xiao thought about this matter carefully, he found it very strange. The nature of this kind of purchase was somewhat difficult to understand.
I have already made a deal with this city. At the city level, these three dogs actually belong to me and are particularly loyal to me.
Even if they are attacked maliciously by the city again in the future, they will not participate in the transformation.
But in terms of "reality", or in terms of the city's laws and perceptions, these three dogs actually belong to neighbors. If you want to take them back and raise them yourself, you have to be careful of your neighbors calling the police and arresting you.
If I have to describe it, it is that at the level of reality, the will of this city has constructed another logical system.
If you understand it this way, you won't be at a loss.
It’s not that I spent money and the three hounds belong to my neighbor, but that these three hounds are actually my own, but my neighbor still has to help me raise them...
I feel much more comfortable.
I silently calculated that at least I had three dogs in this twisted and huge foreign land.
However, I only have ten points left on hand.
It is better to adapt as soon as possible. After all, compared to the terrifying malice everywhere in this world, the buffer of ten points is already very weak.
