If her sister wasn't here, she might have helped Cen Xiangyun deal with these fake "meat animals".

But now, she just wanted to take her sister away from this place of trouble.

"That's fine. We'll see you again someday. The door of the company will always be open to you."

Cen Xiangyun did not insist. After waving to Luo Ling, she walked towards "Uncle Huang".

Without any sound, "Uncle Huang" instantly collapsed and turned into a pile of sand and gravel frozen by ice crystals. The passers-by were so frightened that they moved away a little and looked up at the ceiling, thinking that it was something that fell from the sky.

When Luo Ling looked over again, Cen Xiangyun had disappeared.

Chapter 5: The Strange Awakener, Bloody Crescent Moon (k)

"It seems like you have wasted quite a bit of time. What did you do?"

A middle-aged man leaning against the wall in a secluded place was playing with the lighter in his hand nonchalantly, and the lightweight metal product flew up and down flexibly.

But upon closer inspection, his fingers did not touch the lighter at all.

As if there was an invisible barrier, there was always a fixed gap between the lighter and his fingers.

"Uncle Shao Heng, it only took a minute. Why are you so strict?"

Cen Xiangyun took off her sunglasses, giggled, and a hint of frivolity hung between her eyebrows.

"When executing a commission, you must stay focused and rigorous no matter what, especially since the enemy we are facing now is the "Pioneer." Li Shaoheng pinched the lighter hanging in the air and put it in the pocket of his windbreaker. He glanced at Cen Xiangyun with sharp eyes, "Who did you just come into contact with? There is a strange smell."

"A newcomer who just awakened not long ago. I wanted to invite her to the "company", but was ruthlessly rejected." Cen Xiangyun held up her chin, "It's rare, it's so rare. I finally caught an awakener who is close to the weird side. I was counting on her to complete my OKR this quarter."

Luo Ling's appearance emerged in her mind. Hmm, a pretty girl. If she dressed up well, she could indeed make her debut... Maybe she could really be a talent scout.

However, what caught her attention more than the girl's appearance was her eyes.

With years of experience in makeup, Cen Xiangyun could tell at a glance that Luo Ling was wearing colored contact lenses, and they were pure black... If it wasn't for covering up the abnormality of her eyes, she would definitely not wear this type of contact lenses.

In addition, there seem to be some strange scale remnants on both sides of the girl's cheeks...

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Li Shaoheng's expression became a little more serious.

The awakener on the weird side.

The abilities awakened by this type of awakener are closer to the strange path.

Although it is still on the Awakener Path, it is more inclined to the Weird Path than the ordinary Awakener Path, and its abilities will show some weird characteristics.

The members of the "Evil Pioneers" who call themselves "Pioneers" are basically awakened people on the weird side, so they can use the abilities that should be weird more skillfully.

Although the actions of the "Evil Pioneers" are disgusting, the philosophy they uphold is not entirely wrong.

Compared to the weird abilities, the awakened ones do have many shortcomings. The most important point is that only the awakened ones who embark on the weird path can master the "power" that is a level higher than ordinary abilities.

But on the other hand, generally speaking, these awakened people will have some "defects" to a greater or lesser extent.

For example, a performer's personality disorder, a scientist's right eye, an artist's dwarfism... and so on.

And Cen Xiangyun guessed that Luo Ling was a rare awakener of the weird side through her eyes and the scales on her temples.

Among the "Evil Pioneers", the known three are the "Philosopher", the "Educator" and the "Historian", all of whom possess strange powers. Therefore, they can fight against the powerful "Company" and a group of other awakened organizations with very few people.

Therefore, the major awakening organizations that understand this are trying their best to recruit awakened people who are close to the weird side in order to explore the path of "power".

"Did you leave her your business card?"

Li Shaoheng asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, how could I not keep it? This is related to my year-end bonus. However, they don't seem to be happy about it." Cen Xiangyun sighed, looking melancholy, "I even showed my face on purpose, but in the end, no one recognized me..."

The reason why Cen Xiangyun always concealed her appearance when she appeared in the shopping mall was because in addition to being a company employee, she also had a more conspicuous identity.

——A popular and sought-after star.

Cen Xiangyun has starred in many movies with strong female leads. One of her movies is currently being shown in theaters. She is currently a very popular star.

It’s just a pity that Luo Ling and Su Wan don’t have the habit of watching TV, or there is no TV or Internet in their homes, so... they don’t know each other at all.

The cold reaction of the two sisters made Cen Xiangyun begin to doubt herself. Was it because someone in the "company" gave her a lot of Internet trolls to make her feel that she was famous...

"That's all. When she encounters difficulties, she will come to you." Li Shaoheng nodded slightly.

"Hopefully you'll come to me before the end of the quarter... there's less than a month left."

Cen Xiangyun scratched her hair in annoyance, blaming it all on the agency for arranging too many schedules for her.

I finally got some free time with the opportunity of being assigned a task by the "company". I followed my elders to this small place, Jiangcheng County, to take a break and make up for the quarterly OKR... It's related to the year-end bonus, so I can't be careless.

The company's year-end bonus is not just ordinary money, it is a large amount of GPA that can be used to exchange for rewards.

As long as you have enough points, you can even get the top-level "high-risk and weird" sacrificial instruments.

Cen Xiangyun has been coveting a hairpin sacrificial vessel for a long time, not only because it looks good, but also because this sacrificial vessel comes from the 172nd "Disaster" path "Weeping Snow Girl" in the weird sequence, which greatly enhances her abilities.

The Weeping Snow Girl once caused a region to have snowstorms for five consecutive years. Although the area was located closer to the equator, it was as cold as the Poles. It took the "company" two P9-level and seven P8-level specialists to resolve the disaster. Even in the company's history, it was considered a relatively large-scale operation.

Of course, this hairpin sacrificial vessel is indeed very beautiful, which is also a plus.

"Let's go, the 'Evil Herald' has released a lot of these sand and stone monsters," Li Shaoheng's eyes flashed with a bit of coldness, "It's probably the 'Artist' who did it, but he should have been in 'Victoria' not long ago..."

"Victoria?" Cen Xiangyun was stunned for a moment.

"Just pretend you didn't hear it. You are not qualified to access this "knowledge" yet." Li Shaoheng said calmly.

"Oh." Cen Xiangyun was very tactful and did not ask further, but soon she thought of something and asked, "By the way, Uncle Shao Heng, can ordinary people...see strange things?"

She remembered it very clearly. At that time, Luo Ling's sister clearly saw the fake weirdness created by the artist, but when she approached, she found that the other party was just an ordinary person.

It is still easy to distinguish between awakened people and ordinary people.

"Of course not." Li Shaoheng shook his head and said flatly, "Ordinary people, ordinary awakened people, and awakened people who have come into contact with power, there will be cognitive barriers between each level.

"Ordinary people can't see the weirdness. You can't see some things that I can't tell you now. Even I have some things that I can't see or perceive. Forcing perception and understanding will only bring cognitive pollution... In short, it will turn you into a madman.

"Like the mental hospital we visited this morning, some ordinary people were forcibly made to feel strange by some existence, and thus became insane, with completely disordered cognition, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion."

"Seems to be..."

Cen Xiangyun nodded thoughtfully. She still remembered that Uncle Shao Heng was questioning the director of the mental hospital, the old man who had been lying in bed, in the morning, asking why there were so many patients with this condition in Jiangcheng County.

Unfortunately, the old man was also confused and didn’t even know what Uncle Shao Heng was talking about.

...After all, Jiangcheng County is just a small place without much history, so there are few awakened people here. If the old man hadn't helped the company find a very important person in the early years and got some favors, the company would definitely not be able to invite people.

"This is strange. Her sister can see, but she is not crazy..." Cen Xiangyun frowned.

"Maybe he has awakened but is too weak to be sensed, or for other reasons. In short, although this situation is rare...it has happened before. It's not a big deal. As long as he's not crazy, it's fine." Li Shaoheng said, "However, if that newcomer comes to see you, you still have to remind him."

"Yes, of course I know."

Cen Xiangyun nodded, turned around and continued to deal with the sand and gravel monsters roaming everywhere.

But before he had taken a few steps, Li Shaoheng heard a burst of exclamations coming from nearby.

"Ah, it's the Empress Sister! The Empress Sister is actually in Jiangcheng County!"

"Wow...it's really the Empress Sister! I just finished watching a movie, and when I came out, I actually met her in person!"

"Sister Empress, please give me an autograph!"

Li Shaoheng turned around and saw Cen Xiangyun surrounded by many fans, and she was fleeing in panic.

While chatting just now, Cen Xiangyun took off her mask and sunglasses and forgot to put them back on... As a result, she soon bumped into the audience who had just finished watching a movie in the shopping mall. It was quite unfortunate.

"..."

Li Shaoheng curled the corners of his mouth and quietly left before Cen Xiangyun asked him for help.

"Elders should not get involved in young people's affairs."

......

"Have you heard? The Empress Sister has come to our Jiangcheng County, right here in this shopping plaza!"

"Oh my God, is that true? Come on, let's go over and take a look..."

"A real person, a living person!"

Luo Ling looked at the pedestrians around her walking excitedly in the direction she had just left. From what they said, it seemed that some big star was coming.

She wasn't really interested, not to mention... there was an employee of the "company" over there, still dealing with strange events.

It’s better not to involve my sister in this kind of thing.

Su Wan was a little curious, after all, she had never seen any big stars in her life, but when she saw her sister holding her hand and walking quite resolutely, she had no choice but to give up.

Huolu Mountain is not far from my home. It is a not-too-small tourist attraction in Jiangcheng County. Every morning and evening, there are many tourists or locals climbing the mountain for exercise.

The sisters occasionally go for a walk, but rarely go hiking.

Because there is never enough time.

It was a rare holiday, and Luo Ling had planned to

"I heard that the sunsets at Huolu Mountain are very beautiful," Su Wan chuckled, "I heard from others that there are also some old legends that young lovers can be together forever if they make a vow at sunset... I just didn't expect that the first time you went to Huolu Mountain to watch the sunset, Xiaoling, was with me, your sister."

"It's pretty good, isn't it?" Luo Ling said, "My sister and I can also..."

"Stop, don't continue talking." Su Wan put her finger against Luo Ling's lips, her bright eyes smiling. "It's okay for me to talk, but the seriousness you showed when you talked... I can't stand this kind of mushy stuff."

"...elder sister."

A few black lines appeared on Luo Ling's forehead. She also felt that it was corny. It was because her sister always liked to talk to her like that that she learned it.

However, after hearing her sister's joke, Luo Ling relaxed a lot and temporarily put the strange things behind her.

They strolled along the streets and climbed the mountain together. When they reached the highest point of Huolu Mountain, it was almost dusk.

For some reason, there were only a few people on the top of the mountain today, only Luo Ling and Su Wan. Of course, they were happy with it, as no one came to disturb their wonderful time alone.

At this time, the setting sun on the skyline is about to set. Looking from a distance, the sunset glow is as bright red as blood.

“It’s so beautiful…”

Luo Ling squatted on the rocks, his chin resting on his knees, staring intently at the grand sunset.

"Yes."

Su Wan carefully moved closer to Luo Ling and leaned slightly on her shoulder.

She was not watching the sunset, but was looking at the people who were watching the sunset with her eyes slanted, with the corners of her mouth unable to stop rising.

The dim sky gradually eroded the bright red. Winter nights always come unusually quickly. After a while, you can see the stars in the sky, all shining brightly.

A waning moon was rising slowly, and it seemed to still have some of the blood-red color of the sunset.

The sister was still leaning on Luo Ling, and Luo Ling didn't think about moving her shoulder. It seemed that it would be good to continue like this.

At this moment, Luo Ling's cell phone suddenly vibrated. She was startled and then she remembered that she had rushed to find her sister and forgot to drop the phone into her hair.

but...

Luo Ling secretly looked at her sister, but found that her sister had her eyes slightly closed, as if she had fallen asleep, and did not notice the movement of the phone.

Fortunately, it was not discovered.

This phone is not cheap, it costs 800 yuan, it would be bad if my sister saw it...

“Who would message me at this time?”

Luo Ling muttered to himself, took out his phone, and saw an unexpected person.

""prophet"?"

Luo Ling unlocked the screen and found that the "prophet" had sent her more than ten messages in a row. She was slightly shocked and immediately checked them.

"Xiao Xiaobai! I remember! I remember everything!"

"I remembered where the giant mushroom appeared! It was the moon! The ragged red moon! I saw it when I went to pick mushrooms!"

"Wow wow wow wow wow... Look up, that's the moon! The big mushroom crawled out and ran around under this moon!"
