The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 329: Doomsday Wasteland (V)

By the time Ling Xiaoshu arrived at Red Star Primary School, Liu Sheng had already finished reading the limited books in the room.

I didn't gain much, but at least I learned about the 900 scenic spots and historical sites of the Chinese Empire scattered across many cities.

It's a pity that I probably won't have the chance to visit it again.

I looked up and saw Qiao Yu still busy writing and drawing.

[Tsk tsk, you ungrateful woman, I saved you, and now you want to leave. ]

Liu Sheng said helplessly: [You are all me, don't you know how much we still have to do? I can't even send a spiritual message to ensure safety. If it's a few days later, I'm afraid the news of the new champion's disappearance will spread throughout Chang'an. ]

[Luckily, Ling Xiaoshu is here to help pass on the message. ]

[But the palace examination will be held in ten days, and it will be troublesome if I don’t show up then. ]

[That's right, it's helpless... Who made us unable to stop at all...]

[It would be nice to live a carefree life. 】

[You're not going to live a carefree life here, are you? ]

[Anyway, stop gossiping and go comfort them. Look at that resentment, it’s about to materialize.]

This Liu Sheng is right.

Perhaps it was some unclear special mechanism of the new humans, plus Qiao Yu's realm was still relatively high. When she was unhappy at this moment, the strange energy on her body was infected by her emotions, causing the strange energy around her to condense and form a small dark cloud above her head.

It is invisible to the naked eye, but to Liu Sheng, it is quite conspicuous.

Liu Sheng sighed softly.

I tiptoed over to see what Qiao Yu was writing or drawing so attentively.

Originally Liu Sheng wondered if she was drawing the terrain, as she seemed quite skilled.

Or you can draw simple and cute patterns like little flowers and puppies, which are more in line with her personality.

Unexpectedly, when I looked down, I found that he was actually drawing talismans!

A strange aura emerged from Qiao Yu's hand, condensing into a yellow rectangular piece of paper.

The thickness is appropriate, the cutting is good, and there are no rough edges.

In the other hand appeared a blood-red pen dipped in cinnabar.

With a flick of the red brush, he outlined an intricate pattern on the talisman paper, completing it in one go without any hesitation.

Finally, a dim red light flashed.

Fu Cheng.

Then, Qiao Yu immediately started drawing the next one.

Liu Sheng saw a small stack of freshly drawn talismans placed on the bed that was used as a table.

"What is this?" Liu Sheng was very surprised.

Then suddenly I realized.

"What are your abilities?"

“Yes…” Qiao Yu nodded and whispered as she painted, “Once, I was attacked and was about to die, so Master and the others stuffed a handful of crystals into me, and I actually survived and gained this ability.”

Liu Sheng had always thought that Qiao Yu should have awakened an ability like physical enhancement. Who would have thought that this big and strong girl would actually awaken... to draw talismans?
"I actually don't know what I'm drawing, but I just draw according to some random patterns in my mind." Qiao Yu continued to say sullenly, "This thing doesn't suit me at all. I don't have the patience, and I can't understand it. At the beginning, I always drew it wrong, and my master kept watching me with a ruler."

"She said if I didn't learn this hard-earned skill, I would die."

"She's right. If I didn't have this ability, I would have died long ago." Qiao Yu's voice was calm, but with a hint of sorrow.

Liu Sheng gently patted Qiao Yu's shoulder and asked, "What happened to your master?"

It sounds like Qiao Yu's master is no ordinary person.

Qiao Yu shook her head and continued in a flat voice, "She wanted to give it a try and ate the crystals, but she turned into those monsters."

"I killed her myself."

An extremely plain sentence.

Liu Sheng patted Qiao Yu's hand and paused slightly.

Liu Sheng felt the pain and numbness in Qiao Yu's words, and his heart sank.

It seems that these crystals cannot be eaten casually.

[Don't worry, this crystal is pure strange energy, it will do you no harm.] The world suddenly said.

Qiao Yu also said: "But you are different. I can feel that you and I are the same kind of people. You can eat this crystal."

Is this the mutual induction of the new humans?

Liu Sheng still doesn't understand the principle behind this.

After all, she wasn't sure whether she was a new human being.

I don't even know if I'm still human.

[According to my observation, you are not yet a new human being.] The world said.

[A characteristic of the new humans is that they have abilities that evolved like monsters, but you don't. ]

【So what am I? 】

[It is difficult to define an existence. ]

The world always speaks so directly, and never forgets to remind:

[What you need to do now is to recover quickly and become stronger.] Qiao Yu also thinks so.

"Since you have decided to cross the Great Rift Valley, you need to become very strong, otherwise..."

She bit her lip, not wanting to curse Liu Sheng.

Then she took out a cloth bag and handed it to Liu Sheng.

When I opened it, there was a bag full of black crystals.

Liu Sheng couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

"You can try to absorb it." She was afraid that Liu Sheng would mistakenly think that she was harming her, so she nervously added, "You will not end up like my master. I will protect you!"

As she spoke, she pointed to a large stack of talismans she had just drawn and said, "These are the soul protection talismans I just drew. They can keep you sane."

"Back then, I hadn't learned this kind of talisman..." Qiao Yu looked at the stack of talismans and suddenly felt depressed, "Otherwise, my master wouldn't have died... and so many of my companions..."

Liu Sheng was speechless for a moment. She was not good at comforting others, so she could only pat Qiao Yu's shoulder silently.

The other Liu Shengs couldn't stand it anymore.

[…Please study “Ten Lessons for High Emotional Intelligence People”. ]

【Or, "Language and Art." 】

Fortunately, Qiao Yu has a free and easy personality and does not need Liu Sheng's artistic and high EQ words of comfort.

She wiped her face with her big palm-leaf fan-like hands and said with a smile, "It's okay."

"You are really nice to me, thank you." Liu Sheng said seriously.

"I used to think I was the only human here, but now there's another one. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?" Qiao Yu grinned. "Besides, you're so weak, how can I feel at ease?"

Liu Sheng tried to argue: "I'm actually not weak!"

"Then how did you get sucked into the mouth of that weird thing?"

Qiao Yu talked about the scene when they met again, that disgusting scene.

"I...I, that was a roundabout tactic!"

Liu Sheng wanted to say that she was preparing to break it from the inside, which was her most skilled trick, but she was rescued by Qiao Yu before she could perform it, and then she has been misunderstood ever since.

But Qiao Yu had already changed the subject: "Anyway, if you remain like this, I won't let you leave."

"Of course, if you'd like to stay with me, that would be great too."

This was a tentative joke, and Liu Sheng did not respond, which made Qiao Yu a little depressed.

……

Liu Sheng sat cross-legged and put the first crystal into his mouth.

The world reminded her to be careful, the entrance would be a little uncomfortable.

Sure enough, as soon as the crystal entered the mouth, it immediately turned into a wisp of pure strange air and entered the body, attracting the rich strange air around it.

Since Liu Sheng's body is now made up of energy, it is clear and unobstructed. A constant stream of strange energy flows into Liu Sheng's body like a whirlpool.

At the same time, whispers began to emerge in her mind, as if ancient spells were echoing in her ears.

Layer upon layer of black fog filled up, transforming into all kinds of strange shapes, like tentacles from an endless abyss, twisting, entwining, and carrying unspeakable fear.

Liu Sheng felt an indescribable sense of oppression, as if she was drawn into a strange abyss. Ancient whispers seemed to come to her ears, dark scenes emerged in her vision, and unknown monsters were wriggling in the darkness, as if to devour her sanity.

Fortunately, her resilience was extremely high, even higher than before, and she quickly suppressed these whispers and illusions.

Qiao Yu was guarding beside him. Seeing Liu Sheng's painful expression, red light flashed on his hand. He immediately put the first talisman on Liu Sheng.

Originally, Liu Sheng thought that according to his physical condition, he would not be able to use this soul protection talisman, but when the power of the talisman penetrated into his body, his mind instantly became clear, and the darkness suppressed deep in his brain instantly disappeared.

[Because your brain is still a mortal body, please protect it. ]

【Know. 】

Finally, Liu Sheng was able to control and allocate the energy that was pouring into his body.

She skillfully followed the formula of the "Seven Mysterious Spiritual Energy Sutra" to circulate the energy through her meridians. After being filtered and transformed by the layers of sacred energy in her body, this strange energy gradually changed from deep black to brilliant gold, and then formed a ball of golden mist suspended in her dantian.

[Suddenly I wondered, am I still cultivating Reiki? ]

[You should be truly cultivating immortality and becoming a god.] Shijie said with a smile.

Under Qiao Yu's surprised gaze, Liu Sheng quickly knocked off the second crystal and absorbed and transformed it.

Then, the second, the third...

Although the speed was a bit faster, from Qiao Yu's observation, Liu Sheng seemed to be able to bear it.

Only when Liu Sheng frowned did she take action immediately and took out another soul protection amulet and put it on.

Just like that, a night passed, and the sky gradually turned from black to red and became brighter.

And Liu Sheng finally absorbed the large bag of crystals.

As for the soul amulets, only five were used, far less than the number Qiao Yu prepared.

She slowly opened her eyes, looked at Qiao Yu who looked nervous, and smiled slightly.

Everything is going smooth.

She has recovered her cultivation to the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.
