Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 13 New Information

Entrance.

There is a shoe cabinet above the head and a hanging lamp in front.

Time has gone back.

The time when Xia Shou returned was when he had just entered the Blood Demon's House.

"It seems like an hour is a little over, but it's not a big problem." Xia Shou said to himself.

"Master Xia Shou, we are back."

"Alice?! You are still awake, even though time has gone back!" Xia Shou took out a mirror in surprise and looked at Alice behind him. Her sculpture-like calm face showed expression for the first time.

"Because of the contract? Or maybe my soul and yours are bound together? I don't really understand." Alice's tone was polite and gentle, and there was a hint of respect when she answered the question, like a maid that only a great noble family could train.

"It's okay, this should be considered a good thing." Xia Shou quickly accepted the unexpected reality and ran towards the living room in front.

"That last skill you acquired was pretty powerful, why don't you try to fight that monster?"

Xia Shou patiently explained: "The limit of time reversal is one hour, and the skill [Self-Destruction] is obtained by swallowing the shadow. I think its priority must be lower than the shadow itself.

And since I can keep my memory after going back in time, it means that some things about me will not be reset by going back in time, like memories, the price I have paid, the opportunity to go back in time that I have used, and you who are still awake now.

If we think conservatively, even the 'depth' consumed by using skills will not be reset when the game is rolled back.

If this hypothesis is true, then fighting immediately will actually overdraw resources for the next battle.

Although it is possible to win in one go, if we do that, we won’t be able to fight again the second time, and we won’t be able to save Su Weiyu.”

"So that's how you think about it." Alice exclaimed.

Xia Shou then went on to make a more in-depth analysis: "Of course, I considered more than just this. At that time, Su Weiyu threw the compass at me and told me to run quickly. She should have been alive at that time.

In other words, the blood demon does not necessarily kill its prey. If it encounters some prey that interests it, it will keep it with it like a trophy, so that the prey will not die temporarily.

The trigger condition for the death rollback is death. I am worried that once I am defeated, I may become the blood demon's collection, and I will not be able to die immediately, and thus I will not be able to roll back.

Even the worst case scenario is that even if I trigger a rollback later, I will only return to the point in time when I was defeated. "

“So there’s another reason.”

"Well, and I wasn't in the best condition at that time. Su Weiyu rashly moved me while I was devouring, which caused some backlash from my shadow. My body was actually very weak. If I had just started the fight, I would have had no chance of winning. It would have been better for me to go back and arrange the steps reasonably, and then fight in the best condition!"

"... As expected of Lord Xia Shou, you have thought of so many things in such a short time." Alice admired sincerely from the bottom of her heart.

During the conversation, Xia Shou had already run to the original living room, and the corpse was lying above his head.

While Xia Shou was driving the black shadow to devour the corpse, he was quickly thinking about his next action strategy.

The complex and chaotic spatial maze was arranged in a three-dimensional 3D structure in Xia Shou's mind. He marked the locations of the six corpses and the mysterious charred corpse in the maze, and combined with the maze structure to come up with the shortest route of action.

The price of seeking death has now been paid. He no longer needs to take a detour and can go directly to the classroom to devour the three corpses, and then go straight to the ruins to devour the other three corpses.

Such streamlined steps will save him a lot of time!
Moreover, the "dead end navigation" of [Seeking One's Own Death] still exists. He can know the direction of the Blood Demon at any time. The probability of encountering the Blood Demon directly is very small, so "Seeking One's Own Death" should now be called "Seeking One's Own Way of Life"!
……

Outside the Blood Demon's House, Zhang Zhengde had just watched the beast trainer enter the Blood Demon's House.

"This animal trainer is a non-staff cleaner, right? Is it really okay to let a non-staff cleaner do this to the employees of the Control Bureau?" asked the masked man.

Zhang Zhengde glanced at the other person expressionlessly and replied, "Shangguan Yan sent this kind of person here to die, and if we don't take action, the Blood Demon will eat him. Those who will be threatened will be the other employees who take over the project in the future, as well as the uninformed civilians." Before he finished speaking, the official communication machine of the person in charge made a shrill beep.

Everyone at the scene looked at the communication machine in surprise. This kind of beeping sound is only emitted when a temporary emergency order is received from the headquarters. It is the highest authority. If any order conflicts with the headquarters order, the headquarters order must take precedence!

Zhang Zhengde immediately walked quickly to the communication machine and picked up the receiver.

"Block the one-kilometer area outside the Blood Demon's House. No one is allowed to enter the Blood Demon's House. Wait for the execution squad to arrive!" The order was extremely brief, but it carried the unquestionable will from the highest level.

While Zhang Zhengde was still in a daze, a file had already been sent to the computer of the communication machine.

"What's wrong?" The masked man walked forward puzzledly.

Zhang Zhengde read the document with a pale face and said, "Just now, someone from the Control Bureau deciphered some of the contents of Dorian Gray's Notebook about the Blood Demon's House. They speculated that the Blood Demon might parasitize the intruder and come out of the house!"

He directly showed the contents on the computer to the other party:

[Translation of the notes: Regarding the follow-up of this house, I heard it from a local wizard. He said that people who entered that house could not come out, and those who came out were those who were parasitized by the blood demon.

People who are parasitized by the blood demon usually look no different from ordinary people. Their memories, personalities, everything is the same as before. But as time goes on, their bodies will slowly rot, and they must eat the flesh and blood of their own kind to keep their bodies from rotting.

I asked him, "Isn't it possible to destroy it directly? Can't we just burn it to death?"

The wizard said: "No, the blood demon can only be destroyed in the blood demon house. Once it comes to the outside world, the blood demon is immortal. In other words, it is not the blood demon itself that comes out, but the blood demon's evil desire."

"Then I will go and destroy the blood demon." I said.

Because of the portrait, I am immortal. I think if it were me who entered this room, I would definitely be able to destroy the blood demon.

But the wizard stopped me. He said that people with higher psychic powers are more likely to be favored by the blood demon, because only powerful psychics can bear the overly evil desires. The blood demon's parasitism is not a transformation of the body, but a possession of the soul.

█▊■█▊■█▊████■ (This location could not be deciphered)

The blood demon possessed Jeffrin's body, and he turned into the wind and ran away. I don't plan to chase him, I want to go to the next capital. 】

After reading the contents of the document, the masked man instantly understood the reason why the house was blocked.

The Control Bureau has a banned object called [Jeffrin's Blue Tear Ring], which is a level four containment object. Although it is not known whether Jeffrin's own abnormality is higher than this ring, since the notes say that the blood demon has occupied Jeffrin's body, the blood demon's abnormality level is very likely higher than level four!

The tamer who just entered was a level three finisher, and the abnormality level of the possessed spirit was also level three.

In other words, in front of the blood demon, the tamer is just an ordinary person without special powers. His possessed spirit cannot hurt the blood demon at all, and he may even have his body taken over by the blood demon, causing this extremely dangerous monster to return to the world!

Zhang Zhengde felt a buzzing in his ears, and he knew very well what this document represented.

If the blood demon's abnormality level is higher than level four, it must be handled by at least a level five transcendent.

If a level five transcendent takes action, it will inevitably cause a small-scale leakage of cursed power. If it is not handled properly, it will cause the surrounding civilians to suffer from mental illness, leading to unrest in the secular society!
The way to prevent such an outcome is to let worthless and extremely evil criminals replace ordinary people and absorb the escaped curse power first.

"Everyone retreat one kilometer and prepare to set up the death row barrier!" Zhang Zhengde ordered through the intercom.

The masked man finished reading the document and took a deep breath: "I wonder if the number of death row prisoners in the bureau is enough this year!"

At the same time, in the Blood Demon's House, Xia Shou had arrived at the classroom where the three corpses were placed. He arrived ten minutes earlier than last time.

Five minutes later, the three bodies in the classroom were devoured.

Xia Shou started moving again...
