Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Life energy, unknown.

It is very likely that one has broken through the boundaries of intermediate professional titles and moved to a higher level.

The ability is related to creating and utilizing strange stories...

However, when the monster moved, Duan Mingyuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

The right claw that was waving towards him suddenly disappeared. At the same time, the sound of wind breaking through the air came from behind him. The speed was so fast that he didn't have any chance to react. The claw, which was several times larger than his body, smashed down to the ground on his head.

Is this an attack mode other than a ghost story?

In Duan Mingyuan's conception, the owner of Congyun Hotel should be a summoner, and his attack mode should be to control and summon evil spirits. He has carefully studied every ghost story in the hotel, and has never found any mention of an attack method that can cross space.

Looking back, everything about Qian Congyun’s wife is a mystery.

The monster made of bones did not pursue. She landed on all fours, her scarlet eyes staring at her right hand in disbelief. Even her whisper turned into a strong wind and roar, shaking the entire space. "What is this? What on earth is this? What's going on in your mind?"

The amount of information that kept pouring into her brain almost caused it to shut down.

The attack is powerful enough to cross space, and the energy stored in the beast's eyes will cause time to stop.

Unparalleled physical strength and the ability to regenerate in an instant even if only one cell is left.

In addition to this, there are dozens... no, hundreds of abilities. At this moment, each ability seemed to have become an "instruction manual" and flooded into Bai Gu's mind.

This was incomparable and far more powerful than she could comprehend.

It is neither evil nor a monster, but the ultimate creature that is superior to all living things.

"I call it 'destruction'."

A sound was heard as someone was smashed into a pulp by an attack that transcended space, and a human figure was looming in the smoke and dust.

As soon as the monster launched the attack, Jiu Yue straightened his body, as if he was in a state of stress.

This is different from the rumors!

Although the owner of Congyun Hotel has some skills, if calculated according to Mr. Mingyuan's formula, at best he has only taken half a step into the category of senior professional title. However, the monster in front of him looks more like an existence capable of destroying the city.

Is there something wrong with her intelligence network?

What does the “destruction” mentioned by Mr. Mingyuan mean?

"This is one of the few pleasures I have. I like to try to piece together the abilities and characteristics I have encountered or seen in some fictional works into a creature. According to the setting, it should be able to destroy a country."

Duan Mingyuan's voice was cold and stern. No wonder he felt a strong sense of familiarity the moment he saw the outline of the monster just now.

But he didn't expect that his usual hobby would be displayed in front of others in this way.

It's quite embarrassing to have other people discover the childish setting I wrote as a child.

But it was also because of this that he understood the other party's abilities and the purpose of the big pot boiling the dark green liquid.

"It's the smell coming from the pot. Your ability was activated the moment we walked into this room."

The essence of ghost stories is the manipulation of negative human emotions such as fear, but ordinary people's fear is not enough to cope with this level of battle.

So deep down in his heart, what kind of opponent is the one he truly regards as a formidable rival?

Perhaps only this monster, which has gathered all his "knowledge" so far, can take on such a heavy responsibility.

Duan Mingyuan observed the creation that existed in his imagination, "The real enemy is one's own heart? What an interesting ability."

The monster's roar was deafening. "This is all your fault. This is all your fault!"

The brief discomfort passed, and the monster looked down at her new body. After understanding the "Guide to Using Abilities", she realized how invincible this "Destruction" was.

But at the same time, anxiety also planted the seeds in Bai Gu's heart.

The power of the barrier cannot expand infinitely with the boundless imagination of human beings. What she can conjure up is only an existence that exists deep in the other person's heart, but can be understood and recognized by them.

If all the other party has in mind is a monster that "destroys the universe", then the illusion will fail due to lack of details, and all that will be presented is an empty shell.

In order to eliminate her inner anxiety, she must act quickly.

"Go to hell and reflect on why you created this kind of shit!"

The monster's huge pupils turned into a clock, and the rotating hour hand stopped at this moment. The floating smoke and scattered gravel also stopped at this moment. The swung claws crossed the space again. According to the "setting", these claws could easily tear apart hard alloys.

"Because I also have some unrealistic fantasies."

The approaching claws hovered less than a centimeter behind Duan Mingyuan. An invisible wall of air blocked the two, forming an obstacle that could never be crossed.

The monster looked horrified. According to the "settings", Duan Mingyuan should have been frozen in place as time went by. When time passed again, his body would have been torn to pieces.

He looked at the monster seriously. So far, this academic exchange has been going very smoothly.

It could even be said to have far exceeded his expectations.

"Don't look at me like this. In fact, sometimes I also imagine what kind of enemy I would encounter in order to start a battle of equal strength."

Just as passionate young people would fantasize about suddenly awakening their abilities one day, becoming different from others, and becoming invincible in the world, Duan Mingyuan also carefully and meticulously added all the powerful settings he could imagine for his rival.

But it ultimately failed.

He gradually realized that this problem would be fruitless from the beginning.

The more things he knows, the more settings he adds to "Destruction", and his abilities will also increase.

"As you can see, as long as it is within my cognitive range, no matter what form of attack it takes on me, it will be deconstructed by my ability before it touches me."

He glanced at the sharp claws that crossed the space behind him. From the beginning, he never thought of dodging or defending.

There is no need to engage in meaningless behavior.

"You are the strongest opponent I have ever faced."

Duan Mingyuan pointed at his chin with his left hand, and after a moment, he suddenly said, "How about 'growth potential'? I think this word is very suitable for you. The stronger the opponent you meet, the stronger the effect of your ability will be. In the absence of intelligence, even if the life energy of your opponent is stronger than yours, you will probably capsize in the ditch."

Thanks to Xi Yeying for the reward of 100 Qidian coins!

Thanks to Dang Zhangsan for the 100 Qidian coins reward!

Thank you for only accepting the 200 Qidian coins rewarded by the Eight Thousand Emperors!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 51 Thank you for your contribution to the study of enchantment (please read it later)

Duan Mingyuan didn't want to miss this rare opportunity for academic exchange.

He opened the memo on his phone in front of the two of them, not wanting to miss any details. "Question, can you use the full power of 'Destruction'?"

After a brief battle, he began to doubt the powerful enemy that existed in his imagination. If Madam White Bone (corrected by Jiuyue's reminder) could really exert 100% of the destructive power of her powerful enemy, then although the previous attacks could not touch him, they could destroy the entire Congyun Hotel in an instant.

The time stop can only be described as half-baked, the only decent thing is the space attack.

This discovery made him feel a little regretful. "Is it the limitation of life energy? Yes, the evaluation of the barrier should adopt a multi-faceted measurement standard."

With September's reminder, they reached a consensus on the name "barrier".

Things really happened as Jiu Yue expected, and a battle of barrier level broke out between the two sides, but...

Mr. Mingyuan never had the idea of ​​fighting from the beginning. As he said, he came for academic discussion.

As for victory, it was a by-product of the academic seminar.

It was as natural and relaxed as taking away the mineral water prepared by the organizer from the venue.

At this moment, Jiu Yue suddenly remembered Mr. Ming Yuan’s pre-war declaration when they first arrived at Congyun Hotel.

——He is the strongest.

These few short words carry unimaginable weight.

Mrs. Bones did not continue to attack. The monster named "Destruction" lowered its head, and the flesh and blood gathered on its body slowly faded away. Within a minute, the monster disappeared, and Mrs. Bones returned to the wheelchair.

Duan Mingyuan understood.

It seems that the change did not take long.

If you cannot defeat your opponent in a short period of time, you will be exposed.

Jiu Yue could understand Mrs. Bai Gu's feelings at the moment, and even felt a little sympathy for her.

She suspected that Mr. Mingyuan did not understand how shocking a fact he had just stated in such a casual tone.

All cognitive attacks will be deconstructed before they touch him.

No need to defend, no need to dodge...

What’s the difference between this and using a damage-free cheat?

Fortunately, Mr. Ming Yuan is a serious person. At least he didn't cheat like in the video, doing a 360-degree dance and blowing Mrs. White Bone's head off as he passed by.

The gentle Mr. Mingyuan respected his elders and gave them ample time to speak.

"In addition to the growth potential, another thing worth mentioning is the duration of the barrier. Ever since Tianwaimin died here, your ability has been activated every moment."

Seeing that Madam Bai Gu remained silent, Duan Mingyuan once again used his eyes that were good at discovering the strengths of others.

Only after truly understanding the "barrier" could he summarize it systematically and form a quantifiable evaluation system.

Tang Qianqian and Yang Ping will need it in the future.

In the process of constructing a "barrier", theoretical knowledge is essential.

If he were to evaluate it, Mrs. Bones' barrier would receive an excellent A rating in terms of growth and sustainability. As long as she stays here, the strange stories at the Congyun Hotel will continue.

"Then there is the lesser barrier area. Your ability can cover the entire Congyun Hotel."

It was not very vast, and was even smaller than the intermediate-level evil spirit he encountered last time at an abandoned construction site. Out of respect for his elders and a blank database, he decided to give it a medium rating of B.

"The last one is the relatively weak lethality, activation efficiency, and precision."

He could only euphemistically say that none of these three things were what Madam White Bone was good at.

The barrier relies on ghost stories to exist, and the rules are too complicated. Even ordinary people have the opportunity to go through the sacrificial ceremony. If the "ultimate move" that serves as a trump card is used, it will be difficult to cause harm to those who are well prepared based on the existing rules and ghost stories.

As for this ultimate move with a very high upper limit, it may be restrained depending on the opponent.

For example, if the person who inhaled the hallucination mist was Comrade Tang Qianqian, then based on the truest portrayal of her inner self, the person that emerged from the hallucination should be an angry section chief.

Although very angry, the life energy is 0.

With sufficient intelligence, Tang Qianqian can form a restrained relationship with Madam Bai Gu.

In this way, the complete evaluation system of the barrier comes to light.

“Then I’ll give it a C.”

Madam White Bone suddenly spoke, leaning on her wheelchair, her voice returning to its low, hoarse state, "It's exactly the same evaluation method as the company. No one likes to use grades and data to judge everything more than them. The pair of monoculars you are wearing is also a product of the company, right? How much did they pay to get someone like you to work for them?"

She is now very sure that Universal Company must have contacted Duan Mingyuan.

This is probably why the legend of Yunlong City suddenly disappeared. "It seems that strength has nothing to do with personality. I was wrong."

She originally thought that anyone who would bow to the company could not be that strong. Ability is an extension of desire and obsession. How could a spineless person gain powerful strength from it?

But the world is so unpredictable. She hasn't left the Congyun Hotel for too long, and the place she cherishes most eventually became a coffin that bound her here.

But this is also a good thing, out of sight, out of mind.

"Yes, Mr. Mingyuan, why do you want to work at Tianwaimin's company?"

September took the opportunity to chime in.

Mr. Ming Yuan’s previous explanation was that he found exorcising evil spirits to be a rubbish job, so he decided to change careers.

But she obviously misjudged Mr. Mingyuan.

What Mr. Mingyuan reflected in his heart was not Universal Company. He could only piece together an imaginary enemy from those fictional works.

"Because exorcising evil spirits is a garbage industry."

Out of serious consideration for his future life, he should leave this garbage business as soon as possible.

Facing the questions from Lady White Bone and September, he said, "Its garbage is not only reflected in the low pay, high risk, and inability to be understood by others. The real danger is that the further you go in this industry, the further you are from humanity."

Twist the forms of evil spirits at will, transforming them into pure life energy.

From helping others, which is a thankless task at the beginning, to respecting personal destiny, even if life passes by in front of your eyes, it will not cause any waves in your heart.

Until, life is taken away peacefully.

"As you said, the company did come to me."
