Volume 1: The Beginning of the Flame Chapter 34: An Jianyou's First Battle
"Here it comes, this girl is going to try out the Gui Yu skill, what will she do?"
To be honest, this skill is powerful, but it requires development, and it is still quite awkward in the early stages, as it is equivalent to having control but no output.
However, An Jianyou’s basic 2D skills are still pretty good.
〔An Jianyou〕
[Physique: 1.5]
〔Spirit: 1.7→1.8→2.0〕
[Mystery: 0.19]
[Skill: Trick Defense (Entry Level: 3.1%)]
Her mental strength is very strong, even 2.0. With the support of this mental strength, Fang You believes that An Jianyou can also exert considerable power of Gui Yu just by controlling it.
The most important thing is that she is blessed with talent, and the Eye of the Netherworld can do more than just see.
Fang You thought about it without saying anything. He wanted to see what this girl would do. It was also a test... This girl had been able to live safely in an environment "full of evil" for several years. Fang You was quite confident in An Jianyou.
He made himself a bucket of instant noodles, swallowed his saliva as he smelled the aroma, and looked at An Jianyou's busy figure on the "Vision Synchronization" screen.
He slurped a handful of noodles.
Very smooth.
That's right, the place where this girl An Jianyou lives seems to be a little bit bigger than a billion.
Fang You looked at his own little house and fell silent.
…
Inside the villa, An Jianyou was rummaging through some items and soon found a few Buddha amulets locked in a small wooden box.
This was something she had begged for from many people and spent a lot of money.
If you say they are useless, these amulets are somewhat useful. If you say they are useful, these amulets are not very useful.
She tried.
When approaching stronger ones, these amulets will immediately crack, and for some weaker evil spirits, they can only make them afraid and retreat.
It's still a long way from getting rid of the evil.
But in an occasion like today, these amulets are my means of saving my life!
An Jianyou kept encouraging himself, and after a while he wrapped all the silk threads tied to the Buddha amulet around his hands. After thinking for a while, he picked up a broom. Although he knew that this thing was useless, he always felt more secure when he had something in his hands.
That's right!
It’s time to start, don’t be afraid of coming and going anymore.
An Jianyou walked out of the villa and came to the small garden outside. The sun was warm at this time, and it made him feel warm all over.
In the distance, you can see an auntie trimming the flowers and plants , and you can hear the sound of children playing and fighting in the distance.
It's a very beautiful world if you have never seen the truth beneath reality.
An Jianyou stretched out her hand, covered her eyes, closed them, and opened them again. The next moment, the scene in her vision changed completely.
The sky became gloomy, and the roads were filled with an impenetrable grey fog which became thicker. There seemed to be many more figures staggering in the fog than in the previous few days.
besides……
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The huge figure of the flesh and blood giant appeared from a distance, leaving deep pits on the ground wherever he walked. The bang bang bang sound seemed to be stepping on An Jianyou's heart, and the pair of terrifying eyes seemed to be looking over.
Like a thorn in the side.
It’s gonna be bad, it’s gonna be bad, it’s gonna be bad, it’s gonna be bad…!
Cold sweat rolled down his face. An Jianyou tried his best to control himself from looking. There was no expression on his face, but his teeth still chattered uncontrollably. The sound of the giant's movements became louder and louder.
It seems to be getting closer.
Help!
Her eyelids were trembling and the frequency of her blinking became faster and faster. At a certain moment... Whew~ the gray fog on the road became much thinner, and the sky was not so gloomy. It seemed that she had returned to the real world, but not completely.
An Jianyou let out a long sigh, his heart beating, "Too dangerous, too dangerous, I must practice these eyes more!"
"Why are there more and more scary guys out there? That giant seems to be more observant, too."
She wasn't sure, and she didn't dare to try.
Survival is not easy, Youyou sighed. An Jianyou stopped for a while, trying to adjust the opening degree of her "Eye of the Netherworld".
She divided herself into several categories.
First gear, second gear, third gear, fourth gear.
When I was young and ignorant, I couldn't control my eyes and they were always kept at the third gear, so I would see many scary big guys.
Now that she had learned how to control it, she could use the full power of her eyes, turning it to fourth gear, allowing her to see deeper things... She had never tried it, and didn't dare to try.
You can also lower the "power" of your eyes, but you're not very good at it.
An Jianyou tried hard to shift to the first gear. The gray fog was thin at this time, and there were rays of sunlight shining through. The terrifying flesh-and-blood giant on the road outside had disappeared. This was a world without giants. There were also fewer figures staggering like zombies. Those that remained were probably the weaker ones.
besides……
An Jianyou turned her head and looked around. She had already found a target, a weak enough target.
Yes, it’s you, the evil one watering the flowers.
This evil creature has been staying in the garden of her villa and won't leave. An Jianyou has been in contact with it many times and is familiar with it. He is sure that this evil creature is not strong.
She took a deep breath and walked forward like a warrior rushing to the battlefield, her eyes fixed on the evil creature watering the flowers, and this time, she did not move her eyes away.
“Hiss~!”
"You...see...you...saw...me..."
“You saw me!!”
It was as if a circle of water curtain exploded, and the evil flower-watering creature jumped out of it.
Its limbs were twisted, but it ran very fast, like a strange species.
An Jianyou was startled, and for a moment he couldn't remember any of his plans. His mind was blank and he instinctively raised his hand and swung the broom.
Wow——
The sweep created a gust of wind. She was very strong now and she waved the broom with both hands vigorously.
This is of course useless, as physical attacks will only make you immune to them, but the strange flower-watering monster hesitated with some fear.
What he was afraid of was the Buddha amulet wrapped around An Jianyou's hand.
Yes! Don’t panic, panic is useless!
An Jianyou came back to his senses very quickly. It seemed that the evil creature was only moderately afraid of the Buddha amulet and might pounce on him again at any time.
She calmed herself down, bit her lip and tried hard to use the skill of "Strange Control".
Her Gui Yu was only at the entry level and she was not very proficient but...but she was gifted!
In just a moment, An Jianyou's eyes began to glow with blue light, his black hair fluttered slightly, and an invisible force spread out.
This power has no effect on humans, but when it falls on Guixie, the flower-watering Guixie seems to have encountered a natural enemy. His whole body begins to tremble, and his movements become slower and slower, as if he is restrained by something.
An Jianyou took a look and saw that the evil creature seemed unable to move, so she plucked up her courage and took one, two, and three tentative steps towards it.
