Chapter 11: Hidden Ability
As the first floor of the bungalow was nned as a reception hall, kitchen, activity room, utility room, and a room that belonged to the younger brother Daqing, everyone had to stay on the second floor.
The rooms on the second floor were simply numbered from 1 to 8 and arranged from left to right.
The staircase in the middle divided the second floor into left and right sections.
Rooms 1~4 are on the left side and rooms 5~8 are on the right side.
The important characters [Granny Wang and her husband] live in room 4.
The important person [Sinister Woman - Chen Li] lived in room 6... She had to return to her room by 8:00 p.m. In addition, her brother Daqing would lock the door body with a deadly chain.
As for the reason for locking the door, Daqing does not directly state it, but it is definitely rted to Chen Li''s ''evil spirits''.
The important person [younger brother Daqing], as already mentioned before, lives on the first floor.
Let''s not talk about whether or not granny Wang has the ability to exorcise evil spirits... With the current information, intuitively, it seems that the main subject of this evil spirit-like event should be the Sinister female Chen Li.
Therefore, the level of danger living on the right side of the second floor is obviously higher than the left.
It was thought that there would be a serious disagreement because of this.
Who knew that during the room allocation, Bald Derrion actually volunteered to stay in the room next to Chen Li.
As for the more kind-hearted newspaper boy Herbert, he also signaled that he didn''t care, and that he could stay anywhere.
With the two team members giving in, Edward''s arrangements were made easy...and the final housing arrangements were made.
Second floor left.
Room #1 - Han Dong.
Room 2 - Monica the blonde.
Room 3 - Prosthetic Edward
Second Floor Right.
Room 5 - Paperboy Herbert
Room 7 - Bald Derrion.
Room 8 - Believer Akkerman
Han Dong was also surprised by such an oue.
Expressing that it didn''t matter, he was actually arranged by Edward to stay in room 1, the farthest from ''Chen Li'', the theoretical safest room.
The reason given by Edward was that Han Dong was the weakest person in the team, and at the same time only Han Dong was proficient in Chinese in the team, it was necessary to ensure Han Dong''s safety.
In addition, there are two [settings].
(1) There is no toilet in the bungalow, and the toilet is 50 meters away from the bungalow on the enemy side.
(2) The power supply to the bungalow will be cut off at 23:00 at night and turned back on at 06:00 the next day by Little Brother Daqing because the sister who is possessed at night will be stimted by electric light.
These two settings are a bit tricky.
But... everyone has a way to deal with it, if you need to get up in the middle of the night, just use the mineral water bottle you have in your backpack to solve the problem.
As for theck of electricity, everyone had purchased shlights before arriving. Also, the system was equipped with a video camera with night filming capabilities.
Before going to sleep, Edward had the squad members gather in one room.
"Gentlemen, I have a friend who became a trainee knightst year as a ''Returner''... From him, I learned the ''trivia'' of a novice''s first entry into the Fate space ''.
One of the most important things is to refrain from actively interfering with the actions and decisions of the plot characters as much as possible, and to not do things that are againstmon sense.
The more you interfere, the moreplicated events will be, and even a ''deadlock'' will form.
We hope that you will y the role of a college student and refrain from contacting the plot characters.
If you all have any ideas, feel free tomunicate with me."
"Understood!"
Edward''s point was to let the scenario develop on its own, and everyone present agreed, except for Baldy, who didn''t gnaw.
Edward continued, "Also, I suggest... that if anyone hears any strange noises during the night, do not leave their rooms.
The first night won''t be too dangerous, after all, the so-called ''Return Ceremony'' hasn''t started yet, and the plot characters are in a rtively normal state.
As long as everyone stays safely in their rooms, there shouldn''t be any danger."
"How can you be sure there''s no danger...when you''re a rookie yourself." Bald Derrion said with a scowl on his face.
Edward smiled in response, "At least it would be safer to stay in the room than to hang out in the hallway...I''m just suggesting it, not forcing anyone to do it.
The rest of the situation will be discussed in detail when the ''return ceremony'' is performed tomorrow.
Everyone go back to rest."
The temporary meeting was dismissed.
Just as everyone left the meeting, the rather poised blonde Monica deliberately remained in Edward''s room, saying something tentative that was on the ambiguous side.
Unfortunately, Edward''s attitude remained centered, and Monica was forced to return to her room alone as the atmosphere grew awkward.
During the solitude, Edward took out a clean rag as he pictured treating his ''lover'' and wiped the steam prosthetic right arm with a smile on his face.
"Four-star Evil Spirit ss, about as difficult as I expected... As long as I can be a ''Returner'', I''ll be able to sessfully be a Trainee Knight and start above the others."
.......
Room 1.
Han Dong who returned to his room immediately locked the door.
Ever since arriving here, Han Dong hadn''t been able to find a chance to be alone.
Waking up from a nightmare, he was in a somewhat strange state... Therefore, Han Dong had arge portion of his attention left to himself.
"What''s this?"
cing both hands in front of him, searching for the wondrous feeling of the nightmare from before, he slowly activated the [Faceless Man''s Head].
A strange smell spread through the room.
Crunch!
A tentacle with grey spots slowly spilled out from the palm, swaying strangely in the air.
"Hidden ability?"
Han Dong stared at the tentacles, a little confused!
"During the time I was out of prison, when I didn''t have a physical body, I also relied on the mycelial tentacles that grew from my neck to move around...but that mycelial form was not quite the same as it is now.
This tentacle is thicker and not in the category of mycelium...it gives off an odd scent..."
About ten seconds passed.
The tentacle growing out of the palm turned into a puddle of sewage, dripping and evaporating away.
At the same time, a feeling of weakness swept over Han Dong''s entire body.
"Cough cough cough... It seems that invoking such a tentacle ability will put a great burden on my body.
It should never be used except in times of crisis."
Using the sheet of paper, he touched off the filthy saliva he coughed up at the corner of his mouth.
After recovering a bit, Han Dong took out the usable items he had bought from his backpack...a shlight and a small knife ced under his pillow.
The knife wasn''t used to deal with evil spirits, but for ''experiments'' as well as defense against people.
In addition to the shlight and the knife, there were two rural-style costumes in Han Dong''s backpack that he didn''t know what to do with.
"Edward''s statement should be correct, as long as you don''t actively disrupt the plot characters, the first night won''t be too dangerous before the ''return ceremony'' is performed... Go to sleep."
Due to the effects of the nightmare. Han Dong''s rest in the car was almost in vain, plus using the strange tentacle ability, the weakened state of Han Dong was in desperate need of sleep and rest.
He fell asleep shortly after lying down on the bed.
This time it wasn''t a nightmare.
Instead, the sound of footsteps wandering the corridor and a baby crying prompted Han Dong to wake up in the middle of the night.
The electricity was off.
The room was pitch ck.
However, the redntern in the corridor was still on.
I don''t know which designer''s brainchild it is, but the center of the door is open with a round hole about the size of a head and filled with clear ss.
You can see it clearly, illuminated by the redntern.
A dark-haired woman holding a small child walked past the door.
