Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lin Luo stood in front of a green door, knocking urgently and forcefully.
Because he used too much force, the skin on his finger knuckles split open, and streaks of blood stained the green door.
"Alright, alright! Stop knocking, or I'll twist your head off!"
The voice was deep and echoed.
The green door was roughly pulled open, and a large pink octopus appeared before Lin Luo.
He wore a small green top hat on his massive head, and a well-fitted small green suit where his eight tentacles connected to his head.
It was clear that this Mr. Wei Weisi was very fond of green.
Lin Luo took out the last envelope from the small black pouch at his waist and handed it over.
"Mr. Wei Weisi, your letter!"
Lin Luo's handsome face was full of a gentle smile, seemingly not surprised at all that an octopus could speak.
Wei Weisi, the octopus gentleman who liked green, sized up Lin Luo, his expression clearly becoming serious.
He extended a pink tentacle and took the letter.
"Mr. Postman, please forgive my previous rudeness. I thought that annoying doll was causing trouble again."
Rolling up the letter and tucking it into the pocket of his small green suit, Mr. Wei Weisi's eight pink tentacles wriggled, as if he intended to go out.
"I have something to do, so I won't invite you in to sit. Next time, I'll treat you to fresh bitter ink."
But Lin Luo stepped forward, his face still bearing a gentle smile, and looked at Mr. Wei Weisi, speaking softly.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Wei Weisi, there's something I need to tell you.
When I knocked on your door just now, I noticed some bloodstains on it."
Lin Luo grabbed one of Mr. Wei Weisi's pink tentacles; it felt somewhat slippery to the touch, but he didn't care about that.
He gently pulled Mr. Wei Weisi closer and pointed out the bloodstain on the door to him.
The bright red bloodstain was very conspicuous on the green door.
Mr. Wei Weisi abruptly pulled back the tentacle that Lin Luo was holding, then straightened all eight of his tentacles, standing upright.
At this moment, Lin Luo had to look up at him.
Mr. Wei Weisi sniffed around the bloodstain on the door, and the color of his body gradually transitioned from pink to deep red.
Finally, a terrifying roar erupted from his mouth.
"Who on earth dares to stain my door with dirty human blood!
If I find out who did it, I'll make them taste being torn limb from limb!
Mr. Postman, do you know who did it?"
Ding! The Dangerous-Grade Abnormality Kelin Vives has issued a mission to you:
Find the mysterious entity that smeared dirty human blood on the door.
Mission Completion Reward: 200 gray coins, +1 Spooky Power, +20 Kelin Vives's Favorability.
He suddenly looked at Lin Luo, pressing his entire body against Lin Luo's, and his eight tentacles tightly wrapped around Lin Luo.
Lin Luo's face was still full of a gentle smile, ignoring the somewhat disgusting, slimy sensation coming from various parts of his body.
"Of course I don't know, I just saw it now."
A moment later, Mr. Wei Weisi reluctantly retracted his tentacles from Lin Luo's body and said grumpily.
"Sorry, I was impulsive just now, you can leave now!"
However, Lin Luo stood rooted to the spot, unmoving, his face still bearing a gentle smile as he spoke.
"Mr. Wei Weisi, you're going out, aren't you?
I can help you clean up this bloodstain. I believe you wouldn't want to touch this dirty human blood."
Wei Weisi's octopus head swayed, and he said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you."
Ding! The Dangerous-Grade Abnormality Kelin Vives has issued a mission to you:
Clean the dirty human blood from the door.
Mission Completion Reward: 10 gray coins, +0.1 Spooky Power, +5 Kelin Vives's Favorability.
Watching Wei Weisi's retreating figure, Lin Luo put away the smile on his face.
He took out a red cloth with white spots from the void, and Lin Luo narrowed his eyes, diligently searching for any larger white spots on the cloth.
"Good, I'll use this spot. After this, you can honorably retire."
In a flash, Lin Luo wiped the bloodstain off the door and then put the almost completely red cloth back into the void.
Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission! You received 10 gray coins, +0.1 Spooky Power, +5 Kelin Vives's Favorability.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Crisp clapping sounds rang out, and Lin Luo turned his head to look.
A pale-faced, human-shaped creature dressed in black clothes and black pants emerged from the weeds by the roadside.
The reason he was described as human-shaped was that he generally resembled a person, but the features on his face were a jumbled mess.
Where eyes should have been, there were two bright red lips instead.
A genuine cherry-red mouth.
"How truly splendid! First, you smeared your own dirty human blood on Lord Wei Weisi's door.
Then, you hypocritically offered to clean it up yourself. Were you trying to curry favor with Lord Wei Weisi to gain benefits?"
Lin Luo faced his grotesque appearance with a calm expression, as if he had seen it all before.
His eyes moved, and lines of faint blue illusory text appeared.
Chen Xuanxuan - Ordinary Level Abnormality
Overt Trait: Greed
Covert Trait: Cowardice
An Ordinary Level Abnormality, and a timid one at that.
As if he had thought of something, Lin Luo's eyes brightened, and he slowly walked towards Chen Xuanxuan.
Seeing Lin Luo walking towards him, and with an expression on his face that seemed different from what he had imagined, Chen Xuanxuan quickly shouted.
"Stop, stop! Don't worry, I won't tell Lord Wei Weisi about this.
I just want to get a little money from you! Not much, 10 gray coins will do..."
Lin Luo naturally didn't stop his steps at his words. Instead, he directly ran towards Chen Xuanxuan and grabbed his wrist!
"Hey! What do you want to do?!"
Chen Xuanxuan's face was filled with panic, and he tried hard to break free from Lin Luo's grip.
However, he quickly realized that the guy in front of him was very strong, and he couldn't break free from his hand at all.
Could it be that he wasn't human?
But, he clearly saw him smearing his own blood on Lord Wei Weisi's door!
But how could a human have such great strength?
To be able to restrain me, a mighty Ordinary Level Abnormality!
"Do you have any missions you want me to do?"
This question made Chen Xuanxuan's futile struggle stop. He looked at Lin Luo with a suspicious expression and tentatively said in a low voice.
"Yes, for example, you can let go of me first."
Ding! The Ordinary Level Abnormality Chen Xuanxuan has issued a mission to you:
Release the hand holding Chen Xuanxuan's wrist.
Mission Completion Reward: 2 gray coins, +1 Chen Xuanxuan's Favorability.
A pitifully small reward, but even mosquito legs are meat.
Lin Luo released his grip on Chen Xuanxuan's wrist.
Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission! You received 2 gray coins, +1 Chen Xuanxuan's Favorability.
Clap—
After receiving the mission reward, under Chen Xuanxuan's bewildered gaze, Lin Luo once again grabbed his wrist.
Chen Xuanxuan: ...
