Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 8 Inverted Space

Zhang Zhengde just stood there in a daze!

Level 3 finisher?!

Didn’t the supporting third-level finisher just arrive?
Zhang Zhengde's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly realized what was happening and immediately shouted to the person in charge on the scene, "Quick! Check for me if there is any temporary external support for this mission!"

The person in charge of the scene operated the tablet in a panic, and soon the result came out: "Yes... there is one. The third department sent a temporary support. His name is Xia Shou. It seems that he just joined the company today..."

"Don't talk about these useless things! Just talk about his title and abnormal level!" Zhang Zhengde shouted.

"He's just a first-level transcendent, and his supernatural power effects have not been registered." The person in charge's voice became lower and lower.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhengde felt like his head was about to explode.

Is this person here to support you? Isn't this just to die?

Investigate the three departments... Anything involving the three departments is bound to be bad!

"Damn it!" Zhang Zhengde took out his cell phone and immediately called his boss.

After a few busy tones, a majestic male voice came from the other side: "Hello?"

Zhang Zhengde took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and reported in a calm tone: "Minister, Shangguan Yan sent people to support us, did you know?"

"I already know this."

"Does she know what mission we are on? She actually sent a newly recruited first-class combatant to support us!
You know, every time the Blood Demon House devours a person, the danger will increase! Shangguan Yan sent this kind of person to help, which is not only irresponsible for the lives of his own members! It will also threaten the lives and safety of our team members!
Boss, we can’t continue to let Shangguan Yan…”

"This assignment was approved by the deputy director. Are you questioning his judgment?" the man interrupted coldly.

"...No, I didn't mean that, but...but." Zhang Zhengde realized his own overstepping of authority, but was still furious.

"Lao Zhang, I've already explained this matter to the animal trainer. Since Shangguan Yan has sent his own troops here to be cannon fodder, why don't we use them?

As long as he is eaten before the house, even the weakest cannon fodder can become a helper to the strong.

So, let him become food for the beasts."

Zhang Zhengde was startled, as if he understood something. He turned his head to look at the trainer in the black cloak. The other's face was buried in the shadow of the cloak, but Zhang Zhengde knew clearly that the trainer was looking at him and smiling.

The trainer took out an apple, put it in his mouth and took a bite, then said calmly, "That person has already gone in, right?"

After saying that, he touched the leopard with black flames at his feet and said, "Then let's go in quickly."

……

……

……

In front of him was the entrance hall that he had seen in his dreams. Above his head was the mahogany floor. Potted plants, shoe cabinets, decorative partitions, and other home furnishings that should have been on the ground were all above Xia Shou's head. The hanging lamp that should have been hanging from the ceiling was instead floating on the "ground" not far in front of him. This ground should have been the ceiling.

This place is upside down. Not only the furniture is upside down, but gravity is also upside down.

But Xia Shou was not affected by the inverted gravity, and his clothes and pants did not show any tendency to float up due to the inverted gravity.

Such a scene gave Xia Shou an indescribable sense of illusion.

He walked to the chandelier, unscrewed a light bulb, and let go. The bulb flew upwards like a hydrogen balloon, and with a "bang" it broke into glass shards. All the fragments remained on the floor above and never fell down again.

"It seems that only things brought in from the outside world are not affected by the inverted gravity, and the objects originally in the house all follow the direction of gravity inside the house." Xia Shou said as he continued to move forward following the thickest red line under his feet.

Although the further they go, the more dangerous it will be, Xia Shou has no intention of stopping.

Because advancing one hundred meters is the price that must be paid for launching a "self-destructive" attack. The sooner the price is completed, the sooner you will be free. On the contrary, the longer you delay, the greater the risk.

You cannot turn back from "seeking your own death" until you have paid the price.

If you unfortunately encounter the enemy before completing the cost, you will not even have the choice to retreat or escape.

So no matter how you look at it, paying the price of one hundred meters as soon as possible is the best strategy.

Xia Shou turned around the entrance hall and the ceiling under his feet began to sink like a step. A more gorgeous huge chandelier appeared in front of him, telling him that he had arrived at the living room.

An extremely strong smell of blood also hit him in the face. Xia Shou followed the source of the smell and looked up. A messy living room came into view. In the middle of the living room, a man was chopped into two pieces and lay there quietly. He was already lifeless. His uniform announced his identity: he was a fighter from the Control Bureau.

Moving his eyes to the right side of the corpse, there was a trail of blood. The traces left after the corpse was dragged told Xia Shou how the deceased was killed: the other party was hacked to death and then dragged into this living room. This was not the first scene of his murder.

Xia Shou raised his hand, his fingertips were only about one meter away from the corpse. The height of the living room was in line with common sense.

At the same time, the shadow under his feet began to move, as if it was salivating over the corpse above its head.

"Huh? Can human corpses be eaten?" Xia Shou was a little surprised.

After the black shadow devoured the wax man before, he gained a skill, and he should be able to gain something this time as well.

Xia Shou used his mind to control the black shadow under his feet. The shadow spread out like black mud and, driven by "appetite", spread toward the wall, from the ceiling all the way to the ground above, and finally came under the corpse.

The swamp formed by the black shadow sank the two parts of the body into it, and the speed was several times faster than last time.

At the same time, the same bright red words as last time appeared in Xia Shou's vision again.

[Degree of Devouring: 23%…]

[Degree of Devouring: 51%…]

[Devouring: 100%]

……

[Swallowing completed, you obtained a portion of residue——[Physical Strengthening]]

[Introduction: The master of the residue has a talent superior to that of ordinary people, but ultimately failed to cross the threshold of "transformation".]

[Effect: Gain powerful strength, nerve reflex speed, and greatly improve bone strength and muscle strength. ]

[Price: Because it is a residue, this power can only be used once and lasts only ten minutes.

But after the residue is consumed, some nutrients will be left behind and it will provide you with a little buoyancy for a short period of time. 】

[Note: Although the residue is small, if the amount is sufficient, it can be used to weaken the negative cost of skills or enhance the positive effects of skills. ]

After reading the message, Xia Shou concentrated his mind, and the scale numbers in the deep sea appeared in his left eye again.

……1221 meters.

He still had 1300 meters left to the 79-meter red line.
