Lost Narrative Poetry

The middle-aged bald man had an expressionless face, as if he had returned to his own home. He had not even changed his shoes at the entrance.

And he was not like the average burglar who would subconsciously feel guilty and worried. Instead, he turned on the light as a matter of course, and then patrolled around like a carnivore patrolling his territory.

From the first floor to the second floor, it was obvious that he was not here for property, but was inspecting something with some purpose.

However, Xia Ran had originally planned to leave tomorrow morning, so she had already made preparations. Her clothes had been put away, and the water vapor had been turned off. There were many signs that the owner of the house might have gone away.

Looks like I'm going to be hungry today...

The expressionless middle-aged man stood on the second floor and looked around. The expression on his face seemed to have no fluctuation.

He didn't waste any more time, but turned around and went downstairs, seemingly preparing to retreat. After walking down the last flight of stairs, he raised his hand to turn off the lights on the second floor, and then walked towards the entrance.

But before he had even taken two steps, there was a faint ringing sound from upstairs at that moment, as if a call suddenly came from a cell phone that had been left at home.

The middle-aged man almost subconsciously stopped and turned around to look upstairs. But at this moment, there was a very slight click sound coming from the direction of the entrance hall, as if the light switch was turned on. It looked like it was pressed down.

The entire living room on the first floor was instantly plunged into darkness.

...!!

At the same moment, the wind howled, and the middle-aged man instantly turned his head to look in the direction of the entrance. Even in the darkness, he was still very keen to capture something flying towards him!

Also in the darkness that no one could see at all, this man's head suddenly cracked open, as if a chrysanthemum was blooming!

Moreover, the inside is covered with densely packed sharp teeth, and a long tentacle quickly emerges from the body deep in the throat!

There is a strange eyeball at the top of the tentacle, and bone sharp blades extend from both sides of the eyeball. No one will doubt its sharpness and sturdiness. It just hits the oncoming person in a straight line. The attack... all of this happened in a flash of light!

Then--

Bang! It was like the sound of a glass bottle breaking, and then the liquid splashed out, directly splashing the entire long tentacle, especially the eyeball, which was suddenly bathed in strong acid!

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!!

A tragic scream suddenly sounded from the darkness. As if it was a signal, the lights in the living room on the first floor came on again.

Xia Ran walked in from the entrance, keeping a very careful distance, and holding a bottle of strong acid in his right hand. He saw at a glance that he was holding a sarcoma-like head that had shrunk into a ball at the entrance of the stairs, roaring wildly. Spasmodic...monster.

The next moment, without any hesitation or hesitation, the bottle in his hand came out again!

There was no accurate hit, but in fact Xia Ran didn't put his hope in the accuracy of his throwing skills. He simply smashed directly into the wall next to the parasitic beast!

With the sound of the glass bottle breaking, the liquid inside sputtered out again, splashing on the body of the parasitic beast next to it, and a considerable part of it splashed on the swollen tumor on its head, making a sizzling sound. There is a sound, and there is white smoke rising!

The sarcoma-like head opened instantly, like a chrysanthemum blooming, and a long tentacle was corroded to the point of unbearable pain. It twitched and danced around crazily, and the strange-looking parasitic beast let out a miserable howl.

This appearance is really disgusting. If I hadn't been mentally prepared, I might have been really frightened...

Such a thought flashed through his mind for a moment, but Xia Ran did not stop moving his hands. He was not stingy at all with the weapons he had collected in the past few days. Bottle after bottle of strong acid was thrown out in his hands. !

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bottle after bottle!

The parasitic beast whose body was severely corroded by the strong acid could not do anything at all. It fell into a continuous chaotic dance state. Slowly, it finally fell down, and its entire body was covered in a pool of blood mixed with the strong acid and blood. His body twitched and spasmed, and a large amount of white smoke was emitted.

Gradually, it stopped shouting and made no struggling movements, as if its body had completely lost its vitality.

Xia Ran didn't stop there. He was still very cautious and smashed several bottles of acid over to confirm that there was really no movement from the other party before he stopped. After all, used resources are resources. If you are accidentally killed by the opponent, then there is no point in preparing more.

His nerves and muscles were tense all over, and he stared at the corpse lying on the stairs as if facing a powerful enemy. He was not sure whether the corpse was really a corpse. Anyway, he did not dare to approach it for a while.

After facing off like this for more than ten seconds, he suddenly remembered a method and quickly searched the system.

Then I found a prompt message, which was more than a minute ago. It said that he had killed a parasitic beast and obtained points x 500 and free attribute points x 3... But maybe he was too focused at the time and didn't. noticed.

But in this way, this is considered a kill by the system, which means this thing is already dead, right? Think about it, after all, it is a body of flesh and blood based on carbon-based cells. The mass on the neck is the main body of the parasitic beast. When it is completely exposed to strong acid and is continuously corroded and damaged for so long, death is the normal result.

Xia Ran felt relieved, but immediately understood what he should do now. So he hurriedly rushed over, and with some difficulty crossed the bloody and severely corroded corpse and rushed upstairs. On the way, he was inevitably worried that the thing was dead but not stiff.

But fortunately, nothing so deceptive happened, and the system is worthy of trust... Under the calculation of the mind and unintentionally, it has been so aggrieved that it has no power to fight back.

He quickly cleaned up on the second floor, picked up the new mobile phone, and then quickly rushed downstairs with the cleaning tools. He put on gloves and resisted nausea and touched the body, and the body Just disappeared.

——Appeared in his personal space, occupying a grid.

He hastily cleaned up the rest of the scene, then turned off the lights and locked the door, and quickly left this residential street... Of course, Xia Ran, who did not have enough experience, did not expect to be able to hide it completely, but at least he could save himself. Buy some time.

The movement just now was neither big nor small, and it might have attracted the attention of the surrounding residents.

But because it ended quickly, considering that the sound insulation of the house was relatively good, and the family next door was probably watching TV or discussing something, there shouldn't be much of a problem for a while.

After that, the disappearance of the school teacher probably cannot be concealed, and it will soon attract attention. Maybe the police will come to the door the day after tomorrow. If it is more brutal, maybe the recent vicious cases in this city will be detained. On his head.

But even so, he still had to at least remove the body and clean up the scene first. In this case, even the police would have to spend some time investigating to determine what happened in the house.

As for leaving the corpse and letting the authorities discover that this was a monster's choice, he felt that it was not a good choice for the time being. Firstly, it would greatly increase the attention of the authorities on him, and he might not be able to escape.

There is really a problem with his own identity, and when dealing with the official, he is definitely unable to hold his arms against his thigh, and he feels very guilty in this regard... Secondly, the trend of parasitic beasts sneaking into official organizations and using political power is unknown when it started.

If you are unlucky, you may actually bump into the hand of the parasitic beast.

…

…

The next morning.

The tram started moving slowly, and the scenery outside the window began to speed up towards the back of the field of vision. Xia Ran, who was sitting in the seat, yawned slightly, then leaned on the backrest with a depressed look and began to close his eyes to rest.

He only dared to do this on this kind of transportation. If he was alone in a taxi, he would never dare to close his eyes... No, it was impossible for him to be alone in a taxi.

Who knows if the driver is a human or a ghost? Anyway, as long as there are not many people coming and going, he is extremely vigilant.

Especially at night, it is definitely more dangerous than during the day. He didn't get much rest last night. After leaving his familiar residence and disposing of the body, he didn't even think of finding a hotel to stay temporarily.

He was just afraid that he would be alone and be targeted by some parasitic beast that came out to look for food... What's the difference between being alone in a completely unfamiliar closed environment and being given free time?

He had just encountered a parasitic beast, and although it was a near miss, no matter how rough his nerves were, he couldn't pretend that nothing happened.

Xia Ran found a KFC that was open all night on a prosperous shopping street, and spent the whole night in a place where many people came and went... However, sleeping on the table was really uncomfortable, and Uncomfortable and he was very poorly rested.

Therefore, his current mental state is very bad. After all, his mental attribute value is only 3 points. According to the standard, his mental power is only about 60% of that of a normal person——

Maybe if you just sit in school and don't do much, there won't be any obvious impact. But then it was completely impossible for him to stay up late to cultivate immortality or something, because the upper limit of his energy bar was much shorter than that of a human being.

However, there is no way to change it. Now Xia Ran has three free attribute points on hand. According to the instructions, he can invest these precious points into any of his basic attribute values ​​in a one-to-one ratio. Improve own attributes.

The so-called concept of free attribute points is probably the crystallization of high-purity source matter of the enemy's vitality, spiritual power, soul will, etc. After the lost person kills the enemy directly or indirectly, the rules of the white space will use the subtle mysterious connection to forcibly extract the essence and use it to improve the lost person's own ability value.

The main influencing factors are quality first and quantity second, and the former is the decisive factor and the latter is the influencing factor.

Because the parasitic beast's abilities in all aspects are definitely much higher than those of ordinary people, and its life essence is definitely several times stronger than that of a weak chicken like Xia Ran. Even in the system's judgment, the value of the latter is 500 points.

So after completing the kill, Xia Ran directly got three free attribute points.

According to the description, as he improves and grows in the future, the points for killing parasitic beasts and free attribute point rewards will be quickly reduced.

After all, the experience points gained by a first-level trumpet from killing a one- or two-level monster may be enough to move up one or two levels, while a fifth- or sixth-level character may not get any experience points from killing a one- or two-level monster... …
