Oh no, I have become a character in the card pool?

Chapter 2: After a hundred years, the brilliant blue light flashes silently again
"No, it seems that there is nothing useful to be found elsewhere here."

After carefully searching the ruins, the girl in the hooded cloak had to return to the original facility space.

After all, it is a research institute that has been abandoned for more than 70 years.

The more valuable things were lost when the original defense line was breached again and we had to abandon the activities in the nearby town.

They were taken away by the researchers.

What remains is not some completely worthless information.
It's like the "summoning chamber" - a large device that needs to be integrated with the surrounding environment and is very difficult to move.

"My [Curse the White Walkers] are entangled outside. They will not give up until they have taken the flesh and blood of a living creature."

"The blood that flowed from my previous injury has probably left a mark on my scent."

Xia Shimi lowered her eyes.

Looking at the torn cloak on his right arm, and the blood-red bandage on his fair wrist that had only been simply bandaged.

She was silent for a while, then opened her backpack with some difficulty.

After taking a quick glance, he whispered, "With the supplies I have left, I'm afraid I won't be able to last even three days."

"Before that, they will lose their best fighting capacity due to hunger and injuries."

"If I want to break out, I don't have much time left."

Xia Shimi knew very well, let alone three days.

Even if we delay for another thirty days, I'm afraid no rescue will arrive here.

This place is located at the junction of three [Broken Time and Space] erosion areas, and is also far away from three human activity areas.

Even the garrison base assigned to the Spirit Envoys were dilapidated buildings left over from hundreds of years ago.

If it were not for the order requirements of the alliance, every area of ​​human activity must be guarded by a spirit master.

Those who want to protect their territory and resources from being cut will not deploy personnel to this dangerous area.

——No one would want to come to a place where one could die at any time, no matter how high the salary is.

in other words.

Xia Shimi, who was transferred here, was originally an abandoned child by her identity.

If you have the qualifications but no ability, no one will care even if you die.

Just send someone to replenish it at any time.

"."

The girl clearly understood her situation and looked up at the alloy summoning cabin in front of her, which was about one meter tall.

She had already taken off the hood of her cloak.

She looked to be in her early sixteens, still a little green and immature, but in her rosy eyes, there was not a trace of the panic that a young girl should have when she was in danger.

It seemed that he had long been accustomed to this dangerous situation and was able to deal with it calmly.

Because I had experienced a fierce battle and was in a hurry to explore the relationship between the building.

Her profile looked a little tired at this moment.

The soft white long hair was soaked with sweat, the bangs concealed the emotions deep in the pupils, and a strand of hair lay on the collarbone on the side of her neck.

Considering Xia Shimi's petite height, the tactical firearms she carries alone are enough to be a burden during combat.

It is hard to imagine that a girl of this age has to be at the forefront of the battlefield.

"Is this the last way left?"

Take a deep breath.

The white-haired girl seemed to have made up her mind. She walked forward silently, placed her slender fingers on the operating panel of the summoning cabin, and began to operate it quickly.

If there is no other way.

Xia Shimi would never choose to try to summon the spirit again.

Because she knew very well that the result of trying this would never change for her.

——During these hundred years, the newly born "Spirit Contractors" were unable to replicate the great achievements of the first Spirit Contractor.

There is only one reason.

To gain the recognition of those heroic spirits is far from being as easy as one originally thought.

As the erosion of those [broken time and space] intensified, it was as if the world's inclusiveness had increased, and the types of contracted spirits that could be summoned increased greatly.

This allows the soul, which originally only carved out superficial history, to have the possibility of being identified and summoned.

A simple metaphor.

It is a card pool where only SSR characters can be drawn, and non-legendary characters cannot be drawn.

A large number of one, two, three and four star cards were invested at one time, allowing a large number of "Thank You for Your Patronage" to become low-star contract spirits that can be summoned.

This is certainly a good thing for human civilization, which is in decline.

After all, even the weakest contract spirit is equivalent to the combat effectiveness of a fully armed tactical force, so the more the better.

but.

Only then did humans realize it.

The first soul-contracting envoy was able to contract such a huge number of soul-contracting envoys by himself - what an incredible thing it was.

Because these contracted spirits are originally the souls of the dead in their own broken time and space.

It is not a tool for fighting, nor a familiar at the beck and call of others, but a living, intelligent individual with its own thoughts and values.

The so-called "contract" of the spirit envoy.

The most they can do is to allow them to have a physical summoning ritual, but they cannot be used as slaves at will.

The former homeland of these spirits has been destroyed.

If you want them to fight for other civilizations, you must reach a cooperative deal.

What's more, apart from the personality conflicts, as a weak human spirit contractor, getting these heroic spirits to recognize and obey your commands is a huge hurdle.

Even if someone is lucky enough to draw an SSR.

Maybe if the other party doesn't like the summon, he will cancel the card on the spot and refuse to summon, which will make the soul summoner, who is still ecstatic about Fan Jinzhong, so angry that he will have a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.

Since Xia Shimi was diagnosed with the talent of a spirit master,
She had not been able to successfully conclude a contract once.

Perhaps it was because her aptitude was too poor, or perhaps it was because the souls' compatibility was difficult to resonate, so the summoned contract spirit was unable to exert its strength. Even if the contract spirit was summoned with difficulty, it would most likely reject her contract request.

Xia Shimi has made many efforts to this end.

She was once like an ordinary girl, hoping to become an excellent spirit master.

However, when the city-state where she lived was eroded and destroyed, she was unable to summon even a spirit to lead the battle and could only watch her parents and friends die.

She has already given up her identity as a "Spirit Contract Envoy".

otherwise.

How could there be a spirit contract user who would arm himself with guns and serve as an auxiliary but deal damage alone?

"Fortunately, although there is no medium for high-level summoning, the summoning chamber still contains the basic materials for receiving flesh."

"If you just want to summon a spirit of ordinary combat power, it shouldn't be a problem." The soft voice echoed in the empty room.

Xia Shimi's bright red eyes quickly scanned the information displayed on the screen.

Looking at the few remaining "Spirit Contract Materials".

She pursed her lips and whispered, "But, after so many years of wear and tear, is there only enough left to summon once?"

There is only one chance to summon.

Putting aside the fact that this was such an old, primitive model, the probability of failure was already high - she also had to summon a heroic spirit who was willing to sign a contract with a defective product like her.

No matter how optimistic you think, there is little possibility of success.

But Xia Shimi did not remain depressed for too long.

It doesn't matter if she fails, it's just something she has already gotten used to.

The girl lightly touched the button of the summoning cabin.

A large number of blue light particles like fireflies floated out from the back of her right hand, swirling and gathering in this ruined research institute.

These energies are collectively called "ether" and are the carriers of various energy sources that break through time and space.

Whether it is the magic power of spellcasting or the infinite battery of black technology, they all have extraordinary origins from this.

Except for the spirit masters who can use it based on their talent, it remains an unknown and mysterious area for humans until now.

Om-!
The roar gradually became louder and louder.

The swirling particles were absorbed by the instrument and turned into a continuously circling light ring. Only a small window of the summoning cabin began to flash violently!
"Is this reaction successful?"

The hooded girl's face turned slightly pale and she was panting because of the exhaustion caused by the summoning.

But her eyes were fixed on the aperture.

After all, it was a matter of life and death. Even for a girl who had been fighting on the front lines for a long time, her fingers subconsciously clenched slightly.

When summoned, all contracted spirits will be fixed in their state at a certain moment in their previous life.

From clothes to accessories, sometimes even the accompanying weapons will be constructed in material form, and there will be no embarrassing situation such as streaking.

Xia Shimi's heartbeat was as long-lost as it was a few years ago when she was a student.

There is some tension caused by the unknown.

What kind of spirit would it be? Male or female? Would it have a human appearance?
This place is located at the intersection of three [broken time and space]. Which world record would this historical hero be?
The girl, who was used to being alone, stared at the door of the summoning warehouse that was about to open.

She gritted her teeth nervously.

the most important is
——What transaction price do you have to pay before the other party agrees to sign a contract with you?
=====
"What's going on? Wasn't I just sitting at my desk?"

When Lin Xuan came to his senses.

He only felt that he was in a cramped and small space. He subconsciously wanted to reach out his hand, but he touched a metal hatch.

If it weren't for the gorgeous blue light flashing around him at this moment, like something from a special effects movie.

He almost thought he had died suddenly from staying up late playing games, and was now about to be buried in a coffin carried by black people.

Just when Lin Xuan was stunned by the strange situation.

All I heard was a dull clicking sound.

It was as if a hydraulic door was about to open. A burst of blue and white light spread out, and the bright particles were like a stage about to be unveiled, rendering the spotlights in the room.

The door slowly opened.

——And at the same moment, as if a network with poor signal was finally connected, a piece of incomplete and damaged "knowledge" flowed into his mind.

Maybe something went wrong with the process.

The program that was supposed to record basic common sense into Lin Xuan's mind when summoning only brought up a few important keywords.

Broken time and space, the end of civilization, and the eternal night without light.

And the ceremony of contracting a heroic spirit.

"Wait, Qi Ling?"

Lin Xuan was stunned. He blurted out in a low voice: "Qi Ling Poems?"

For him, who has been staying up late to play games for three months, the notes and screenshots alone add up to almost a GB.

These keywords are so ptsd that I would think of them even in my dreams!
Lin Xuan's expression suddenly became extremely wonderful. Combining the incomplete knowledge in his mind, he quickly reacted and thought to himself: "Oh my god, I am not traveling through time, am I?"

And this time.

The old, flickering incandescent lamps in the research institute slowly rose as the hatch slowly rose, casting light on the face of the boy with short black hair.

He is younger than before he traveled through time, and looks like a high school student around eighteen years old.

He was wearing the same ordinary T-shirt and sports pants that he wore at home - but the machine was kind enough to also provide him with sports shoes so that he wouldn't have to run around in slippers on the battlefield.

Putting aside the knowledge in his mind, Lin Xuan looked out cautiously.

A young girl came into his sight.

Her long light white hair was hanging down, and she was wearing a dark brown hooded cloak with an ammunition clip. Her snow-white thighs under her short skirt were tied with leather leg rings with a tactical holster hanging on them.

The girl seemed to be trying to remain calm, but she could not hide the nervousness in her expression.

Although she looks soft and cute, her battlefield experience makes her look more than a weak young animal.

just.

Facing a "legendary hero", at least a single-armored heroic spirit is the key to your survival.
It is normal for Xia Shimi to feel uneasy at this moment.

And the other side.

After a brief thought, Lin Xuan quickly came to a clear idea in his mind.

Since you have traveled into the mobile game world, then follow the development of the novice plot
ok, I understand.

Before Xia Shimi opened her mouth.

He spoke in a calm and experienced voice, "Nice to meet you, my hero who has done great deeds."

Cleared his throat.

Lin Xuan said with a serious look.

"I am the one who summoned you. I hope to fight with your strength. Can you sign a contract with me and become my partner?"

The sound echoed quietly in the dilapidated research institute.

Accompanied by the quietly dissipating phantom blue halo, it embellishes this place that once existed for rebelling against the extraordinary like stars of time, illuminating the unyielding history that those rusted instruments once contained.

It was as if there were countless like-minded people who were celebrating the successful construction of the summoning chamber and were rejoicing in the laboratory.

The first meeting between a boy and a girl, the chance encounter between a spirit messenger and a hero.

——This is full of the meaning of destiny like a vow.

however.

As a spirit contracter, he heard the heroic spirit in front of him asking to "contract" him.

The girl, who was already accustomed to disappointment, stood there in a daze, as if she suspected that she had heard it wrong. She blinked blankly on her face.

Now it is... the opposite of Tiangang?
