ghost on paper

Chapter 28
Truman returns to the Royal Oak Hotel.

A copy of the "Lundinian" was placed at the door of the room.

There are newspaper offices and newspapers in this world, and there are many types.

A newspaper usually sells for 3 Copper Keller.

When Truman first crossed, he bought newspapers every day. Later, he found that the reporters in this world were very boring. The newspapers were full of all kinds of frivolous news, and there were very few nutritious news, so he seldom bought them.

The newspaper in the hotel was given as a gift. Truman was not in the mood to read it at first, but after being promoted to Extraordinary, his eyesight has become sharper, and he has obtained more and faster information from the world around him. At a glance, I noticed an important point:
"A massacre occurred in the central city of Lundiny! "

Truman picked up the newspaper and entered the room. There was a photo on the newspaper, and in the photo were two torn corpses.

There is no privacy protection in this world, and the dead have no way to speak out, so the two corpses are placed on the picture like this, which is very bloody.

The content of the newspaper introduced in detail the protagonist of the bloody case, an overseas trader whose main business is medicinal materials.

It also introduced that the murder was not done by humans, and the murderer was a polluted monster.

……

Truman did not know the address of Anton's home.

But he knew that Anton's father was in the overseas medicine trading business.

Compared with traders in Lundinian, overseas traders are more risky and earn more.

Overseas trade of medicinal materials, extermination of the family, contaminated monsters...

Putting all this information together, it is very likely that it is the Anton family, right?

Anton's family was wiped out?
Could it be... Anton did it?

Anton's promotion to the extraordinary failed, and his spirituality was out of control. In the process of contacting Truman, he found that his humanity seemed to be completely wiped out, and he turned into a pure monster.

It seems that such a thing as self-destruction can be done?
Truman sighed a little, but had no time to think about it, after all, he had already faced too many problems.

……

bang bang.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Truman was packing up his things.

I originally booked a room for three days, but now I only stayed for one and a half days. There were no problems in preparing and taking the potion, and the ceremony was completed smoothly.

The reason is that Truman's own "share" is large enough to digest the "characteristics" brought by the potion without any danger, and use rituals to turn them into "skills".

Therefore, Truman was thinking about finding the hotel check-out fee.

The sudden knock on the door surprised him, is it the waiter?

Truman opened the door at will, and the words and thoughts he had prepared turned into horror at the same time when he saw the face outside the door.

The person outside the door was tall and tall, wearing a bulging windbreaker, half of his face was covered under the hat, and the only half of his face was very familiar to Truman.

After all, they have been facing each other day and night for three months.

Anton!

Truman took a step back, and at the same time reached out and took out a mask to put on his face.

His figure began to fade immediately, like a drop of water melting into the ocean, and miraculously disappearing into the air.

The "actor" sequence is good at hiding itself and imitating others.

And Anton outside the door, seeing Truman hiding in the air, a bright red tentacles suddenly popped up from behind him, and all the white baby-like suckers on it were chanting three words at the same time:

"Seven Star Lamp Seven Star Lamp Seven Star Lamp..."

With this chanting, each baby's mouth is like a core that is spreading radiance, and there are circles of radiance like radiance scattered in this room.

At the same time as the tentacles popped out, Anton had already taken a step forward to enter the room, and at the same time closed the door, so that the brilliance of the tentacles behind him appeared more concentrated in the room.

Circle after circle of spiritual light stirred up the whole room as if it was filled with the clear light of sea waves.

The figure of Truman climbing out of the window was reflected.

Although there is only a faint shadow.

But still obvious.

boom!
A tentacle slammed over and smashed through the air. Truman dodged earlier, and the tentacle smashed on the masonry wall, creating a terrifying gap.

animal……

Truman retreated to the corner of the room, assessing the strength gap between the two sides.

Before losing control, Anton was an extraordinary second-order 'scholar' sequence. One of the three 'characteristics' he possessed was typed out, leaving only two.

'Scholar' is not good at fighting, and those two characteristics are not used for direct combat.

The 'actor' sequence that Truman has is similarly bad at fighting.

So now they are equivalent to scholars fighting with their fists, but Anton is at the second level, and Truman is at the first level.

When human beings are promoted to Extraordinary, in addition to their characteristics, their bodies will also be transformed. Truman can now hold broken bricks with his bare hands, but it is still a bit far behind the monsterized second-level Anton.

In terms of physical fitness, Truman has the blessing of biological medicine from the other side of the earth, while Anton has the tyrannical spirituality from the "God of Books" for improvement, and his monster-like body is more conducive to fighting.

In short, it's three words: I can't beat it.

Truman wanted to run away when he met Anton before, it was an instinctive reaction, but he still wanted to run away after evaluation, it was a rational choice.

He began to activate the effect of that earth injection in himself.

After promotion, the injection effect is stored in a certain area of ​​Truman's body, just like Doraemon's pocket.

This may also be described as an extraordinary characteristic from the earth, Truman called it 'sensitivity'.

'Acuity' was activated, and the world began to slow down in Truman's eyes.

That's a sign that Truman is 'going fast'.

At this moment, Anton suddenly had to speak: "Wait, have you been promoted to Extraordinary?"

What are you waiting for...?
Truman didn't want to wait.

But the fact that Anton can still speak human language really surprised him.

Before, they could only roar and praise the gods wildly.

"I mean no harm." Anton continued.

While Anton was talking, he had already used his tentacles to prevent Truman from escaping from the room three times in a row.

The 'sensitivity' skills are still not strong enough... There are not enough needles on the other side of the earth... Truman realizes this.

"Since there is no malice, why stop me?" Truman stopped, waiting for an opportunity to escape while communicating.

"If I don't stop you, we can't communicate." Anton said.

Listening to Anton's voice, there are indeed conditions and logic, and the mood is peaceful, which is very strange. Hasn't he already become a monster?

"What do you want to communicate with me?" Truman still asked defensively.

"I need more spiritual texts, more spiritual texts related to 'me'." Anton said, "I was injured and need them to recover, otherwise I will be swallowed by that huge will."

"I can't help you, I'm not even a member of the potion workshop now." Truman said.

"That's not important. I know that somewhere there are many spiritual carriers related to me. You can translate for me. I need your translation ability." Anton said.

"Wait..." Truman suddenly realized an abnormality, "You just mentioned the spiritual text related to 'you'? Aren't you Anton?"

"I am a pathetic young man longing for power and status, a greedy god who only knows how to claim and occupy, or an ignorant old man who wakes up for no reason. Who am I? A dead person, a dying person .” Anton’s tone was slightly pathetic and self-deprecating.

Trinity……?Truman stared at Anton in surprise.Is this the awakening of some fragment of life?
At this time, footsteps and knocking on the door suddenly sounded, obviously the hotel waiter had been alarmed.

"This is an advance payment." Anton popped out another tentacle, and then this tentacle broke away from his body like a lizard's tail.

The blood-red tentacles covered with the white baby's mouth began to wither after detaching from Anton's body, and a quill made of branches magically emerged there.

After finishing all this, Anton knocked open the glass of this room and left in a hurry.

Truman didn't even have time to ask him about the massacre.

And the hotel waiter who arrived immediately after, looked at the messy room, showing a look of astonishment.

"Sir, what's going on!"

Truman couldn't answer, he also needed an explanation.
