Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Chapter 142 Communicating with the spirit world, special transactions (700 monthly tickets plus more updates)

The next second.

Chen Ye no longer hesitated, took out the suona and started playing.

He tried to concentrate his spiritual power, and suddenly, his consciousness seemed to come to the familiar gray fog.

The music played, with overlapping echoes, plays the heavenly movement prepared for the "dead".

"So...is this the spiritual power of the spiritual world?" Chen Ye opened his eyes.

The shops around him had disappeared and were replaced by boundless gray fog.

Through his knowledge of music theory, he condensed part of the final curl arrangement of "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul" to make it more suitable for the performance of suona, making it more concise and brief, so as to quickly enter the state of communication with the spiritual world.

"Heavenly Movement" seems to follow a certain music theory, and after shortening the final curl, the overall melody, harmonic direction and emotion remain unchanged, and it can still trigger the characteristics of "Heavenly Ritual Music".

At this moment, while the "Heavenly Movement" was playing, Chen Ye felt as if his mind had entered another world.

During the performance, the surrounding temperature seemed to be getting colder and colder, as if everything around me was moving away to a lifeless country.

at this time……

The gray mist air mass in front is no longer as blurry as before, and gradually takes on a specific shape, appearing in front of the field of vision in the form of a virtual shadow.

It was a young boy with a delicate face and a cute face. He looked about twelve years old. He was wearing a robe similar to a kimono. The cuffs were wide and the slightly exposed ankles were even more slender.

What's strange is that there are two pairs of snow-white fox ears on his head, and a fluffy fox tail appears in the "tail" position.

On the right side of the face, there is a shiny bronze monster mask with the image of a tengu painted on it in abstract colors, giving it a vague and mysterious feeling.

Those amber eyes looked around in confusion, with a hint of confusion.

"Is this the existence of the spiritual world?"

Chen Ye's mind moved slightly and he stopped playing.

The gray fog surrounding us gradually dissipated and faded, and in the gray world, the outline of the "Integrity Restaurant" was revealed again.

Through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on both sides, you can vaguely see the scenery outside the park. Looking upward in the distance, it seems that there are floating transparent shadows flying through the air, but it is difficult to see clearly.

Further away, there was a chaotic gray fog, and it was impossible to see what existed deeper.

Through the knowledge given by [Funeral Suona Man], he can probably understand that this place is located at the junction of two worlds, which is safer than walking on the gray fog.

The cross on the chest emits a faint glazed light, illuminating the surroundings.

This is a gray world, except for Chen Ye and the fox-eared boy in front of him, it is colorful...

Under the illumination of the cross, certain areas of the "Integrity Store" seem to be covered with strange lights and shadows, reflecting strange colors.

He stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and crossed the dividing line between gray and color.

Soon, I felt a warmth in the part I passed through, which was in sharp contrast to the coldness around me!

"As long as you can find the colored dividing line and cross it, you can return to the present world."

Chen Ye's eyes moved slightly. Last time, he followed the guidance of the cross and found the "gap" where the two worlds meet.

Through these "gaps", one can return to the safe area of ​​the present world.

The living cannot stay long in the world of the dead.

The temperature here is very low. If you stay for a long time, not only will the vitality in your body continue to flow away, but your self-consciousness will also slowly and unknowingly dissolve.

As for whether higher-sequence characteristics can support long-term residence in the spiritual world, that is something that is temporarily unknown.

At the moment, Chen Ye did not waste time, but set his sights on the fox-eared boy.

Observing with the Eye of Luck, although the opponent has the appearance of a living person, the aura is still a gray mist without any real color.

Chen Ye couldn't help but ponder for a moment, realizing that the existence of the spiritual world might be completely different from the real world.

It looks like...

This is the guy who has been hitting his own store these past two days.

"Hello!"

Chen Ye shouted at the fox-eared boy and stepped forward.

"Wow……"

The fox-eared boy was immediately frightened and sat down on the ground, leaning back slowly. Under his wide sleeves, his two slender arms were in front of his eyes, and he backed away in fear:

"You...who are you...don't come here!"

Chen Ye looked at the other party's actions with a speechless expression. A few days ago, he was so arrogant that he bumped into his shop. Why did he look like a coward now?

"Is it you who is causing trouble in my store?"

The fox-eared boy scratched his white hair and sounded innocent:

"It wasn't me...it was a dancing girl...she asked me to do this!"

"Not only does she dance beautifully, but her feet are also very beautiful, and the water she gave me is also delicious..."

On that childish face, there was a wretched smile like a crazy man, as if he had entered a state of insanity, and he was laughing so much that he was drooling.

It wasn't until Chen Ye kicked this guy that he said "ouch" and said aggrievedly in pain:

"What are you doing……"

Chen Ye rubbed his chin, thinking that this guy looked stupid, maybe he could blackmail him!

He grinned and said: "You just listened to the music I played, and you haven't paid the performance fee yet!"

"Ouch...performance fee..."

The fox-eared boy suddenly understood, then lowered his head in shame, looked at the clogs with white stockings on his lower body, and said in a low voice:

"But...I have no money...what should I do?"

Chen Ye raised his eyebrows, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the old god said:

"It's very simple. Since you don't have money, you have to use other ways to repay it!"

The fox-eared boy's eyes widened: "What do you want to do?"

"It's very simple." Chen Ye shrugged, "What do I want you to do next? You have to be obedient and don't resist."

The fox-eared boy had a troubled expression on his face, as if he was thinking about whether this transaction was of equal value.

At this moment, his nose suddenly moved a few times as if spiritually, showing an intoxicated look:

"There seems to be some kind of aroma, and there is delicious food nearby..."

Chen Ye was stunned for a moment, looked around, and suddenly found a few more ingredients placed on the dining table.

The fox-eared boy crawled on his knees and instinctively crawled towards the food on the table.

"Wait a minute." Chen Ye immediately stopped the other party, "These are the meals I cooked."

"Can you still cook?"

The fox-eared boy's eyes widened, and his pupils changed from shock to admiration:

"Amazing!"

Chen Ye couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Being able to cook...is this a very powerful skill?

However, according to the principle of "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages", since the "rice" cooked by oneself can attract the fox-eared boy, maybe it meets certain rules and conditions?

Chen Ye thought for a while, then took out an exquisite devil's dish from the mountain roll, placed it in front of the fox-eared boy, and said with a smile:

"Want to eat?"

The fox-eared boy's eyes fell on the sausage-shaped food in front of him. His eyes were bright, and he licked his lips with his flexible tongue. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said:

"Think twice..."

"The conditions I mentioned just now, plus these foods, are acceptable."

"I can!"

It seems that some kind of deal has been completed...

The next second.

The fox-eared boy could no longer resist the temptation of delicious food and wolfed it down.

In the blink of an eye, the entire food on the plate was swallowed up like a whirlwind.

"Comfortable! I'm full!"

The fox-eared boy touched his swollen belly, leaned against the wall, his eyes were blurred, and he burped.

at this time……

Suddenly, Chen Ye discovered that the shadow of the fox-eared boy seemed to have become more substantial!

Moreover, the gray halo of luck suddenly changed!

A long bridge made of purple energy passed through the aura of the fox-eared boy and reached Chen Ye's majestic black and yellow energy.

"How is this going?"

Chen Ye's eyes were slightly surprised and he noticed the changes in the fox-eared boy.

The pair of amber eyes were not as ignorant as before, but more lively. The phantom gradually became material, and one could intuitively feel that the fox-eared boy's energy seemed to be getting stronger.

This is what happened after eating the devilish food I made...

Chen Ye turned on his bloody phone again and carefully read the description of the characteristics of [Devil's Cuisine].

At this moment, his eyes fell on a line of introduction -

[The food you make will have the form of a "devil" and can be sacrificed to the "devil's soul", which may have unexpected benefits! 】

"Could this guy... be the soul of a demon?" Chen Ye looked at the fox-eared boy with suspicion.

He looked at this guy with a silly and cute look on his face. Did he look like he had anything to do with "devil"?

But the mask on his face gave him a mysterious aura.

In addition, with that delicate body shape, it seems that you can easily knock it down with your little finger.

"Existences in the spiritual world have different energies."

"Could it be that... my devil's cooking... can be sacrificed to the souls of demons in the spiritual world..."

"Thus increasing their energy?"

Chen Ye realized this and suddenly became excited.

did not expect……

The characteristics of [Funeral Suona Man] can actually be combined with [Devil Cooker]?

Communicate with the spirit world through [Heavenly Ritual and Music], and then sacrifice to the devil with [Devil's Cuisine] to get help?

At present, it seems that the theorem of equivalent exchange still exists in the spiritual world.

The last time I played the final chapter with the old man Erhu above the gray fog, the "audience" in the spiritual world raised a gold coin and injected it into the Soul Crossing Scroll, thus obtaining the [Cross of Redemption] and advancing to the second job.

Judging from the behavior of the fox-eared boy, he also has an instinctive concept of equivalence.

It can be judged that the spiritual world will also follow the equivalence, and in a more special way.

It just so happens that this guy has no money yet!

This is easy to handle!

Chen Ye looked at the fox-eared boy with a devilish smile on his face and said:

"You should understand the conditions I mentioned, right?"

The fox-eared boy sighed, as if he was lamenting that life was not easy, and he had to make compromises for delicious food, so he nodded and said:

"I understand, I will do whatever you say..."

Chen Ye looked at the fox-eared boy, and a bold idea suddenly emerged in his heart.

"Well, next, I want you to do something..."
