"Among those people just carried out were a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain, a famous psychic, a renowned exorcist, and a professor from a magic academy. They all either died or went insane, while you resolved the problem unscathed. And you still say you're not a big shot?"
"This is really my first time in a place like this! I'm such a newbie!"
------
I'll try 4K in a few days. I had a meeting at school today and got home too late.
Chapter 220 Go and slaughter, my monsters!
(I forgot to mention, last time I got Kallen's Hymn from the Honkai Impact 3rd Supply, which was originally useless to me, but now, hehehe...)
(Additionally, this chapter contains 4000 words)
------
The subsequent auction had nothing to do with Chang Yan.
They either bartered or sold directly for money, so Chang Yan could only watch helplessly.
The final item up for auction was a bronze sword, said to be a flying sword used by an ancient cultivator in ancient times. There weren't many bidders, but they were all wealthy, and the prices were all ridiculously high.
The auction ended quickly, and Chang Yan returned to his hotel to rest.
The next morning, under Mr. Wang's arrangement, Chang Yan boarded a plane and flew to a certain place.
I'm back.
Chang Yan got off the plane and walked to a place prepared by Young Master Wang, waiting for night to fall.
"Is the intelligence accurate?"
"Of course, we have people in the hospital. Miss Zhang and that Xu guy have been staying in the hospital, with only 4 elite bodyguards and one member from the corresponding bureau."
Five trash.
Although he still looked disdainful, Chang Yan still gave a blank "hmm" with an expressionless face. However, he seemed to suddenly remember something and ordered the man from earlier to bring back a calligraphy brush, some yellow paper, and some cinnabar.
Although the man sent by Young Master Wang had his doubts, he still went to buy it. Young Master Wang had instructed him long ago to try his best to meet any needs the young man might have.
A writing brush, some yellow paper, and cinnabar—it wouldn't cost much. But why would this boy buy these things? Aren't these the things Taoist priests usually prepare? Could this boy be a genius Taoist priest? Venturing into the mortal world at such a young age?
Chang Yan was not a Taoist priest; he bought these things on a whim.
While modifying the Taoist's soul, he naturally learned some Taoist magic. Now, what he wants to do is see what the consequences will be when these magics are combined with his own magical techniques.
After purchasing the items, Chang Yan naturally began to take action.
He would soak cinnabar in his own blood, dip a brush into it, mutter incantations, and then write with great skill and grace on yellow paper.
When Chang Yan stopped writing, the eerily bright red cinnabar instantly turned into a night sky-black color, and the entire yellow paper instantly lost all its color, becoming a blank sheet of paper.
White paper with black talisman.
This is the talisman that Chang Yan made. The original function of this talisman was only to summon a Yellow Turban Warrior, but now, who knows what it will summon?
"...As expected, things have changed, but the summoned creature should be a bit more powerful than that Yellow Turban Warrior. There are a few more left, I'll draw them all together."
Swish swish, swish swish——
Soon after, eleven talismans made their dazzling appearance, each consisting of white paper and black symbols.
It's not that he can't draw anymore, it's that he's too lazy to draw now.
After all, it was just a drawing to see the effect and play around with. If these summoned guys were weaker than the Yellow Turban Warriors, wouldn't Chang Yan have wasted his time?
Dinner was specially prepared by Wang Gongzi's subordinates and was made by a master chef. The aroma and appearance of the food were so appetizing that they were sure to whet one's appetite.
It is said that this chef graduated with excellent grades from New Oriental Academy and can be considered a first-class chef.
--------
The moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a murderous night.
"Alright, let's try these talismans first... Wait, I don't seem to have any magic power or mana! I can't seem to activate them, damn it!"
Just as Chang Yan took out a few talismans, intending to use them, he suddenly froze.
He then realized that he possessed no extraordinary energy, no magic, no sorcery, and no spiritual power...
What am I supposed to do...?
After a moment's thought, Chang Yan placed a faint glow on the talisman.
Instantly, the black patterns on the talisman became even deeper, and the black aura swallowed the faint radiance. Suddenly, the entire talisman exploded, and a chilling aura began to permeate the area.
This was a gigantic and blasphemous monster, its appearance somewhat like an ape and somewhat like an insect; its skin hung in clumps, and on its wrinkled head were traces of degenerated eyes, its head swaying from side to side as if drunk. Large, outstretched claws protruded from its extended forelimbs. Although no expression was visible on its face, a cruel and ferocious aura emanated from its entire body.
——Konggui
Like oil, yet a liquid organism that can transform at will.
—The Invisible Child
A faceless terror. A standing humanoid figure with dark skin, horns on its head, large bat wings, and a tail behind it, like a faceless demon.
Nightmare
A terrifying, hydra-like ancient race, a group of utterly bizarre beings... Their bodies are only partially material, and although they have no wings, they can soar freely through the air.
—Flying Hydra
Flying in the sky was a gigantic creature resembling a venomous snake. It had a bizarre and twisted head, and appendages with enormous hooked claws. It floated easily in the air with its terrifyingly large, black, rubbery wings.
—Terror Hunter
The monster is invisible to the naked eye; its existence can only be detected by hearing its nauseating, cold laughter.
However, in Chang Yan's eyes, the strange creature's form could no longer be hidden.
It was entirely red, dripping with blood, and countless tentacles pulsated on its deep red body, like a constantly writhing, pulsating block of jelly. At the tips of the tentacles were sucker-like mouthparts, which opened and closed hungrily... This monster was bloated and repulsive: the huge mass had no head, no face, no eyes, only an insatiable mouth and claws befitting its status as an interstellar monster.
—The Essence of Stars
A giant purple spider, its entire body covered in wart-like growths, with bristles on its long legs. Its abdomen is a mottled pale purple, the front of its body is indigo blue, while the tips of its legs and pincers are black.
In its seemingly wild pupils, a respectful glint occasionally flashed towards Chang Yan, revealing that this giant spider possessed wisdom.
—Cold Spider
Upon seeing these creatures, Chang Yu felt that the world was doomed.
I was just making a normal summon, so why did I summon so many high/low-level minions that cause such a drop in SAN value?
Are there any more Shoggoths around? Otherwise, I'll have to kill my own people before we even start fighting.
Shoggoths, as protoplasmic organisms with amorphous forms, look like giant amoebas made of tar, with glowing eyes on their surface.
Of course, the reason that Chang Yan took action was not this, but rather Shoggoth's nature.
Betraying one's race—the indomitable rebel!
(Ai-chan: You oppressor!)
Each cell that makes up Shoggoth's amorphous body possesses a unique property that can be described as a self-evolutionary ability, which allows those cells that seem to be bubbling to reorganize and reconstruct themselves in an instant, simulating the generation of various shapes and organs.
Although no matter how you look at it, Shoggoths are just creatures born to be used by their masters, they will soon begin to develop intelligence, begin to rebel, and begin to imitate their masters; they once rebelled against the ancient race that created them and destroyed it.
While they cannot imitate those indescribable gods, they can imitate some of the superior races.
It is said that they are very likely the ancestors of humankind.
What's the point of keeping such a traitorous creature around?
Fortunately, the monsters that followed, while still looking like they would drain your sanity, at least weren't related to those strange deities.
A knight clad in jet-black armor, riding a headless nightmarish horse engulfed in hellfire, his neck now facing the headless creatures around him, the blade in his hand poised to strike.
Headless Horseman
A skeletal body with four wings made of bones on its back—it is such a terrifying image, yet it possesses a mysterious sense of holiness.
—Skeleton Angel
His entire body was covered in blue, armor-like skin, which, combined with his strong torso, formed a body of steel and iron. Two eerie tentacles extending from his back and the blood-red marks on his face gave off a tremendous sense of oppression. A miniature mouth full of sharp teeth occupied his left eye.
—Child of the Demon (CSOL)
The humanoid creature, radiating bright blue lightning, had a face mask that resembled a blue fluorescent veil and a pair of withered twig-like wings on its back. It was currently hovering in mid-air.
Terminator (Crossfire)
(Note: The official explanation is that the Terminator is floating because it has become an infected being that uses electricity to sustain its life and movement. If its feet don't leave the ground, all the current will be conducted into the earth, and the Terminator will die from lack of electricity. As for why the Terminator won't die in water, you'd have to ask the Terminator's creators.)
(Suddenly felt so low-class...)
Looking at the bizarre and grotesque monsters in front of him, Chang Yan felt like something was wrong with him.
Why do all these things I summon look so strange, and yet so familiar?
Anyone who sees them for the first time would think they're a bunch of monsters, clearly villains...
All I want to do is be a good person...
Oh right, I remember I had another strange item that I hadn't used yet!
Chang Yan suddenly remembered a strange object he had forgotten for a long time—an unknown coin, an object that could summon a unit or weapon.
"The front is a weapon, the back is a unit, so let me see my luck."
As the saying goes, if you toss a coin around, it will spin and spin in the air.
"—"
The coin landed in Chang Yan's palm.
The side facing up is the back.
"Looks like my luck is pretty good. Come forth, my warrior."
A red portal opened, and a silent mech stepped out with a thud.
Anti-Entropy Titan - An ancient mech.
"This... I remember there's such a thing as entropy reversal in this world. Could this teleportation system be from this world... Oh well, whatever. I was just planning to summon a bunch of henchmen to help me out, but I didn't expect to get this group of fierce-looking guys..."
Chang Yan glanced at the group of monsters he had summoned, then stared intently in the direction of the hospital, and let out a cold laugh.
"Young Master Wang, there will always be traitors and fools in this world. Hmph, a whole bunch of people are lying in ambush here, waiting for me to take the bait. But I guess you know about this kind of thing, right... But it doesn't matter, today I, Chang, am going to tell you something: sometimes being too low-key will also attract people who will keep bothering you, but if you are powerful, it doesn't matter how arrogant you are. Strength is truth!"
"Everything has its opposite, and so does the world. Even the world reflected in the mirror will be within my grasp! O inner world, show me your true face—"
After saying this, Chang Yan took out a double-sided mirror, pointed it at the hospital, then flipped it over, and then—
The targets that were often mentioned in the hospital, and the people in the highest levels who were full of ambushes, all disappeared. And in the mirror that reflected the hospital, another abandoned hospital was revealed.
"Go forth, my monsters, fight, plunder, slaughter! I grant you permission to act with impunity!"
"Hoo~~, hoo~~"
The sound of the wind whistling.
"Sigh~"
The sound of a snake hissing.
“Hehehehe——”
A cold laugh.
"Duang, Duang—"
The sound of a sword striking armor.
"Roar--"
The roar of the demon.
"Buzz, buzz——"
Electrical noise.
After receiving their master's permission, the monsters let out eerie howls and rushed into the small lens.
