Human Federation, District 11, Hachioji City, a suburb of Tokyo.
In midsummer, at night, the fireworks from the temple fair in the distance dye the sky with colors, and the shadow of Qiao Shuya in this abandoned small bungalow is particularly ferocious and distorted.
The decoration and layout of the small western-style building are very modern, but the ground is covered with thick dust, and occasionally you can see traces left by rats.
Deeper in the corridor, there is a strange smell, like the decaying bacilli of gangrene.
On the window sill next to it, under the sparkle of fireworks, half a woman's palm print seemed to appear on the accumulated dust.
Not only that, there were half-naked footprints on the floor under his feet, but Qiao Shuya was wearing leather boots at this time.
"Da da da..." The thick soles of the shoes stepped heavily on the ground. When passing by the full-length mirror hanging on the wall, I saw myself in the mirror.
Qiao Shuya stretched out his left hand, and himself in the mirror stretched out his right hand.
He smiled, and his reflection in the mirror also smiled, even more wildly, with the corners of his mouth split open to the base of his ears.
Qiao Shuya turned around calmly, and suddenly felt something tap him on the shoulder. He turned around, and a split face suddenly appeared behind him, only a few centimeters away.
You can even clearly see the trembling polyps on the cracked face, and there is madness and greed in those eyes.
"Caught-you-yo!"
It stuck out its tongue, and on that tongue was another face, a face as abstract as the world-famous painting "The Scream".
However, unable to see any panic or fear in the young man, Qiao Shuya squeezed his arm in an instant, and a dazzling blue light erupted from his hands, turning into a blue fist that was burning with fire.
"Now, I've caught you!"
The tongue with a human face was stunned for a moment, but all he could see was the blue-fired fist enlarging in front of him, and then enlarging again...
"Eula!"
The blue-fired fists were imprinted on that terrifying face, and there was no time to feel the pain. In less than half a second, the blue fists were so fast that they punched hundreds of times like afterimages.
This twisted monster was left in shock and confusion. At the last moment of its life, it had only one thought.
Has this guy never hit anyone in his life? He punched hundreds of times...
A moment.
The monster evaporated without saying a word, and the mirror shattered, completely turning into glass fragments as small as gravel. The surrounding area seemed to be raging in a strong wind, with fragments and dust flying everywhere.
The fireworks of the temple fair in the distance were still bright. Under the colorful flashes, the shadows on the ground returned to normal, as if the monster just now was an illusion.
"Number of layers + 3..."
Qiao Shuya felt his ability and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
[Ghost Siphon (the only passive skill): Obtain a certain number of passive layers based on the strength of the enemies killed, and each layer permanently increases 1 additional point of additional damage, agility and damage reduction. 】
[Current number of layers: 606]
"Unknowingly, this passive has reached level 606. I should be able to barely protect myself now, right?" Qiao Shuya said, slowly looking at the fireworks at the temple fair in the distance.
It has been seventeen years since I traveled to this dangerous world, and I have been passively stacked for a long time. At this level, the old man who played with the dog head may have already left the mountain.
You should have the ability to protect yourself, right?
Maybe?
Qiao Shuya was still a little unsure, so he quickly adjusted his mentality.
"It's not enough. This world is too dangerous. There are monsters who want to invade the world every moment. Many monsters have even disguised themselves as humans. There is no guarantee that they will suddenly attack at any time. Don't waste time, first
Stack the passive, set a small goal, stack it to 1000 layers... no, 2000 layers and then come out."
"The strange demons currently disguised in Tokyo are still very weak, allowing me to add enough layers..."
Qiao Shuya muttered to himself. After searching for a while and finding no traces of other strange demons, he walked out of the small foreign-style building.
…
It has been almost seventeen years since Qiao Shuya came to this world. He must have passed through his soul and become a baby.
But luckily, he was adopted by a woman when he was a child, and then grew up with that woman until her adoptive mother passed away two years ago, and Qiao Shuya was old enough to be independent.
To put it bluntly, this world is very dangerous, and strange monsters have become enough to threaten human civilization. Such monsters can completely replace humans, and even absorb the person's memory and personality, completely imitating the original owner.
Until the critical moment, these strange monsters will become time bombs, causing appalling terrorist disasters.
The organization among humans that specializes in dealing with strange demons is called the "Watcher Association."
Among them, Qiao Shuya's adoptive mother was somehow well-connected and managed to get a nominal high-level position in the Watcher Association.
Even though that woman was lazy every day as if she hadn't woken up, throwing dirty clothes and socks around, and never going to work seriously, in this life Qiao Shuya had never been short of money since he was a child, so he knew that his adoptive mother was a fat man
A slippery job.
A few years ago, before her adoptive mother had an accident, she used her connections to make Qiao Shuya a "guest" of the Watcher Association, and today's mission to search for strange demons was considered a commission from the Watcher Association.
However, Qiao Shuya directly dealt with the strange monsters, so he should not only get the money to search for the strange monsters, but also get the money to clean up the strange monsters, plus the employer's money to get it again, and he stacked it up again
Several layers of passive.
This wave is a win-win situation. Qiao Shuya won twice and won a lot of money...
Qiao Shuya is also quite satisfied with the position that his adoptive mother got for him. Maybe it's because there are people in the Watcher Association who take care of him. Every time he receives a mission, he is a very weak monster. He can make money and be relaxed and happy at the same time.
Stack passive.
It's really comfortable to sneak into the Watchmen Association if you have connections.
But now that he is not strong enough, Qiao Shuya decided to stay in the Watcher Association for ten or eight years, quietly developing his passive skills. After he has more than 2,000 passive layers and a set of other invincible skills, he will come out secretly.
Amazing everyone.
…
The fireworks at the temple fair in the distance have stopped, and the night is already very deep.
Under the moonlight, seventeen-year-old Qiao Shuya strode out of the courtyard.
Seeing someone coming out, a luxury car slowly drove over from the far side of the street. A plump and generous beautiful lady seemed to be nervous and asked: "Little handsome guy, how are you doing with the demon slayer?"
"The strange demon here has been solved. I will notify the Metropolitan Police Department and the Watchmen Association. Professionals will come here to finish the work later." Qiao Shuya smiled at the lady and saw the cracks between the woman's fingernails.
The dust inside.
The other party is the client this time.
This is a beautiful and wealthy lady whose husband died. This mansion is one of her assets. However, it is said that many people have disappeared around the mansion recently. Someone reported it to the Watcher Association, and she was reluctant to do so.
Pay money.
After hearing Qiao Shuya's words, the wife's face was very complicated. She put her fair arms on her chest that was still shaking slightly. On the one hand, it seemed that there was really a strange demon coming out and she felt scared. On the other hand, she also felt scared.
I feel relieved and feel an indescribable sense of security.
"Thank you for your hard work, handsome man. The moonlight is beautiful, but it's very late. Do you want my sister to take you home?" Mrs. Fu patted the steering wheel and twisted her waist, as if to hint at something.
Qiao Shuya smiled, and blue light emitted from the fist in his hand: "Madam, you don't want your identity as a strange demon to be exposed, right?"
