Chapter 4: The Advent of the Eerie
In a daze, Zhang Yuanqing felt something soft and plump pressing down on him and was a little breathless.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a round and delicate face, as well as a promising smile.
The sister-in-law grunted:
"Bastard, dare to stand me up, my old lady will sit on your ass and kill you."
She duck-sat on her nephew, leaning forward and lifting her butt to sit down hard.
Zhang Yuanqing was sitting with a muffled grunt and almost broke his breath, annoyed, he pushed up his waist and back, turning the woman upside down.
In his sister-in-law's "ouch" shriek, he saw that it was already dark outside the window, unknowingly, from the morning to the night sleep.
"Dinner!"
Sister-in-law lying on her side on the bed, with a life-threatening chain kick nephew's ass.
"Don't you retaliate alright, old me respects the old and loves the young, I won't get into it with you."
Zhang Yuanqing slipped to the side of the bed, put on his shoes and walked out of the room.
The living room smelled strongly, grandparents were sitting at the dining table to have their meal, grandpa had silver hair, thin and tall, his face was serious and unsmiling.
"How's it going, is the person I arranged for you this time okay."
At the dinner table, Grandma asked with some anticipation.
"Not bad, annual salary of one million dollars, corporate executives, satisfied satisfied satisfied!"
The sister-in-law's head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"You say that every time, every time you pull the rug out from under people." Grandma reached out her finger and poked her daughter's brain hard, reprimanding:
"Grow a pair, think about how old you are."
"Right, right ...... Zhang Yuanqing gloated on the side before his calf was kicked hard by Jiang Yu Bait.
The two of them kicked each other at the bottom of the table, and the dining table "clunked" non-stop.
"If you're not going to eat, get your ass back to your room."
Grandmother roared, and Zhang Yuanqing and his sister-in-law immediately lowered their heads to pick up their food.
"Grandma, when will cousin come back." Zhang Yuanqing asked.
The uncle's family lived right across the street, and a while ago, the aunt who came from a wealthy family and the debauched uncle had traveled abroad, and during this time, the cousin's dinner was eaten over here.
"Said he's working overtime tonight and won't be coming back at night...That guy of his, he doesn't care about his life when he's working, he's completely at the opposite end of the spectrum from his idle father." Grandma complained.
Overtime ..... Zhang Yuanqing couldn't hide his disappointment and let out an "oh".
After dinner, Zhang Yuanqing and Jiang Yu bait each went to their own rooms, leaving Granny to clean up the mess.
.........
Returning to his room, Zhang Yuanqing locked the door, picked up his cell phone and dialed his cousin's number.
Since he couldn't say it face to face, he should just make a phone call.
It's just that communicating on the phone is not as clear as saying it face-to-face.
The phone quickly went through, but what came out of the speaker was a bird's voice that prompted the shutdown of the phone.
"In a meeting?"
Zhang Yuanqing hung up the phone helplessly, his cousin, as a security captain, was busy with his affairs, his rest and diet were irregular, and cases like this where he couldn't be contacted happened from time to time.
He was used to it.
Zhang Yuanqing lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, letting his thoughts fly away ......
Assuming that Bing s disappearance is man made, and the other party s target is the black card, then I have to be careful, the safest way is to give the black card to my cousin, who will then feed it back to my superiors.
With the administrative level of the Songhai City Security Department, the influence of the forces over in Jiangnan Province is limited.
But the problem is that the black card is missing, this is the most headache ....... Zhang Yuanqing scratched his head in agony.
A black card that can disappear out of thin air, think about it, I feel shocked, can not find the black card, the method of handing over to the state will not work.
I can only confess to my cousin first, and then let him react to his superiors, and then listen to the arrangements, I'm just an ordinary college student, I can't do anything.
Suddenly, Zhang Yuanqing felt a little pain on his forehead, a little hot, reached out and scratched, the pain became even more intense.
The pain is even more intense. Painful and hot, what happened ......
He left the bed in a bit of a daze and walked to the dressing mirror standing by the window, examining himself in the mirror.
Dressing mirror, reflected a young man's face, features clear, fair skin, no social poison out of the fortitude, there is no age washing out of the vicissitudes of life.
There is only a young man's vigor.
In the position of his forehead, there is a round black full moon mark, vivid, irregular surface patches clearly visible.
At the bottom of the full moon imprint, there was also something similar to a progress bar, showing that it was: 90%
This ..... Zhang Yuanqing thumped back in shock, he rubbed his forehead hard, but the imprint seemed like a tattoo, how could he not rub it off.
How did I get this kind of thing on my forehead? When did it appear? Confusing thoughts flashed through his mind, mixed with panic and confusion.
"Wait..! This, isn't this pattern the black moon on the card."
He froze at first, and his thoughts became clear.
The black card wasn't lost, but had entered his body and turned into a mark on his forehead in a way he couldn't comprehend.
Just as he was confused, he realized that the progress bar underneath the Black Moon Seal became 92%, accompanied by the number of words jumping, and his forehead rolled.
What was this, paranormal? High-tech? Hallucinations?
At this moment, the content of the letter once again came to mind: this is a gift that can change lives ......
"The black card is really a treasure, so my previous guess was right, someone coveted this card, and Bing didn't want to let the other party have their way, so he sent it to me, and he disappeared because of it ......"
Zhang Yuanqing worried about Bing while staring at the progress bar with secret anticipation.
What would happen when the progress bar reached 100%? Having witnessed the divine difference in front of him with his own eyes, he was filled with curiosity about the next changes.
After a few more searing pains, the progress bar at the bottom of the Black Moon finally finished its journey and reached 100%.
In the next moment, a voice without emotional fluctuations and without feelings rang in his ears:
Character card restart complete ......
Name: to be named (please name immediately)
Race: Human Occupation: Nightwalker Level: 0
Skills: None Experience Value: 0%
Moral Value: 60 (initial value)
There is also a line of notes underneath the moral value:
Never let your moral value fall below 60, you may not have had a choice before, but now please be a good person.
Looking at the fluorescent blue character attribute panel floating in front of his eyes, Zhang Yuanqing was confused for half a day, thinking, "What is this thing?
He tried, "System?"
As a small-time web surfer, being knowledgeable is a necessary quality.
A voice without emotional ups and downs once again echoed in his ears:
Please name the character immediately!
A fluorescent blue handwritten box popped up on the attribute panel that was frozen in mid-air.
It's not a system, or the intelligence is too low, it can't even communicate ...... Holding the idea of taking a step forward, Zhang Yuanqing stretched out his finger and wrote down his name:
Zhang Yuanqing Warning, please do not use this name.
Can't use this name? Zhang Yuanqing froze, then wrote down a second name:
Yuan Shi Tian Zun naming success! The spirit realm will be opened in ten seconds... Good luck, Origin Heavenly Father!
Listening to the voice echoing in his ears, Zhang Yuanqing was confused for a moment, thinking, "What's the situation, opening the spirit realm? Shouldn't you explain what the spirit realm is first.
Before he could regain his composure, the ten second countdown ended.

Introduction to Spirit Realm No. 0079: Do you know about the She Spirit Tunnel, one of the ten strangest stories in Songhai.
The She Ling Tunnel was built at the end of the last century. During the construction of the tunnel, a construction team entered the tunnel to dig on a rainy night and disappeared into the tunnel, never to be seen again.
The Sheriff's Department organized a search party to look for several days and found one worker in the mountains who was involved in the digging that night, while the others were nowhere to be found.
That survivor although survived, but by some kind of inexplicable stimulus, mental problems, become crazy ....... No matter how much the vigilantes questioned him, there was only one sentence that came out of his mouth as he tossed and turned.
He said: do not enter the temple, do not enter the temple ........
The sound in his ears is getting lower and lower, gradually becoming inaudible, and the scene in front of him is like the surface of a wrinkled lake, appearing distorted and blurred.
In a few moments, the picture gradually stabilized, the dim light shone on the uneven walls, and under his feet was a pavement of fine gravel.
"Where is this place?"
Zhang Yuanqing looked around in dismay and realized that he was in an old tunnel, with an old xenon lamp on the curved dome, emitting a faint orange-colored glow.
.......
