Snapped!

A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out in the deathly silent room, instantly interrupting the old woman's thoughts.

She quickly turned her head to look.

The bronze soul lamp in front of them, with its wisp of black flame, had been extinguished at some point.

A clear crack appeared on the lamp of the Soul Lamp.

It failed...

That lingering clone that carried all her hopes was actually... killed?

How... is this possible?!

The old lady's wrinkled face instantly turned incredibly gloomy.

Regardless of the reason.

but now……

The results are already clear!

Of the three chess pieces I raised for ten years, only the eldest remains.

She needs to rethink her plans!

……

East gate of Chunjiang Garden.

A black sedan drove up from a distance and eventually stopped at the side of the road.

The car door opened, and a man in a black trench coat with a cold expression stepped out of the car.

He raised his head, his sharp eyes precisely locking onto the sixth floor of building six.

There were only two households on that floor.

Jiang Luo, Xu Niannian.

These two unusual children live in those two households!

He had only one purpose for this trip.

That is……

Just as the man was about to step into the residential area, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

His gaze abruptly shifted from Building 6 to the ruins of the children's playground not far away.

There……

There was an extremely subtle, yet incredibly pure, aura of calamity!

The man frowned, and without any hesitation, he flashed away, becoming a blur as he sped towards the ruins.

……

When Jiang Luo opened her eyes again, she found herself still lying on her soft little bed in her room.

"so……"

"Was that area just now, like that bird-woman auntie's, one that pulls people's souls into it?"

Jiang Luo rubbed his eyes, secretly guessing what was going on in his mind.

But before he could think about it further...

He then noticed something was wrong with his body.

My right eye...

Why... does everything appear grayish-white?

It's like an old-fashioned black and white television that has lost all its color.

Could it be that……

Did he gain the power of its dark golden eye after eating that stupid dog, the Lord of Nothingness?

I recall the sight of a swarm of crows that blotted out the sky after that eye was activated...

It looks so familiar!

If you want to initiate it.

Should we...?

Thinking of this, Jiang Luo immediately got out of bed, then put his hand to his right eye and whispered something.

"Amaterasu!"

however……

Nothing happened.

There wasn't even a hint of warmth under my eyelids.

Undeterred, Jiang Luo tried shouting "Annihilation" again.

result……

It's still completely useless!

This made Jiang Luo frown.

He ran to his desk, picked up the small mirror next to him, and carefully looked at his right eye.

In the mirror, his right eye did not show any strange dark gold color; it was a normal pupil color, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Aside from seeing things as a hazy gray mess,

and so……

Do I... have cataracts?

How can a three-year-old child have a disease that only the elderly get?

This is outrageous!

Just as Jiang Luo was looking in the mirror, questioning the meaning of life...

A familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have survived another day in this dangerous world. You have gained 1 attribute point.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully survived the tumultuous 24 hours. Bonus reward: 8 attribute points]

Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Luo looked up at the cartoon clock on the wall.

It was exactly 2 PM.

Time really flies...

In just a short while, it was already 2 PM.

but……

Thinking that he wouldn't encounter so many unpleasant things like he had in the past twenty-four hours, Jiang Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was not at all relaxed.

The abnormality in his right eye is unlikely to be cataracts; it's most likely related to swallowing that stupid dog, [Lord of Nothingness], earlier!

And then there's that inexplicable hunger that makes him lose his mind.

These two things weighed heavily on his mind like two mountains.

He must find out exactly why.

Of course, the most important and crucial point is...

He must find a way to reliably utilize the domain anytime, anywhere!

Otherwise, having a bunch of abnormal attributes but not being able to use them at any time is the most painful thing!

but……

Right now, the most important thing is still these nine attribute points...

Defense is certainly important.

However, from the "Circling Hound" to the "Ghost Skull," and now the "Lord of Nothingness," all three incidents are inextricably linked to intelligence.

In particular, solving those three troublesome issues also requires intelligence!

and so……

"Should the focus be on defense or on intelligence?"

Just as Jiang Luo hesitated.

The system notification suddenly sounded.

[The system has detected that the host has not made a selection. The system will automatically select the Comprehension attribute for the host!]

[Host: Jiang Luo]

【Strength: 403】

【Speed: 224】

【Spirit: 307】

[Defense: 118]

Comprehension: 42 (40 + 2)

[Insight: 152]

Jiang Luo: "?"

no……

"Damn system, didn't you say it would take a minute to make a selection automatically? How come it made a selection for me in just a few tens of seconds now?"

but……

There has been no response!

Depend on!

Jiang Luo felt her mental state was about to collapse.

During those 24 hours of misfortune, at least the other attributes played a role.

Only this comprehension...

It's completely useless!

What's the difference between clicking on this and skipping stones?

"Useless system, idiotic system, I hope you'll become paralyzed one day!"

Jiang Luo cursed under her breath.

At this moment...

Boom boom boom!

A soft knock sounded on the door.

"Lolo, are you awake?"

Lu Yao's voice came from outside the door.

Jiang Luo had no choice but to put aside all her thoughts for the time being and ran over to open the door.

"Sis, what's wrong?"

Jiang Luo asked curiously.

Lu Yao pointed towards the door and whispered, "Director Zhao from the Extraordinary Bureau is here. He specifically asked to see you. He's at the entrance now, but he's not planning to come in."

"My sister-in-law was worried that he was here to do something harmful to our family again, so she was keeping watch there and then asked me to call you..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Luo was slightly taken aback.

Zhao Haidong?

Why did Old Deng come looking for me?

Did he come alone?

Jiang Luo asked again.

Lu Yao nodded.

This gave Jiang Luo a sense of reassurance.

If you're alone, there's not much to worry about.

It's highly likely that this old man really has something to ask me.

So he took his short legs and walked outside.

In the stairwell, Zhao Haidong was squatting on the steps, smoking and seemingly lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Meanwhile, Zhang Hui, the mother, stood at the elevator entrance with a polite smile on her face, but her eyes were full of vigilance and wariness.

Upon hearing footsteps, Zhao Haidong immediately turned around.

Upon seeing Jiang Luo emerge, he immediately stubbed out his cigarette on the steps. He even waved his hand after standing up, using a slight force to dispel the smell of smoke from himself and the stairwell.

After doing all this, he walked up to Jiang Luo.

"Uncle Zhao, you were looking for me?"

Jiang Luo looked up at him with her little face and asked in a childish voice.
