Your knowledge is too taboo

Three fifty-eight in the morning.

Chen Qing was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed tightly, looking like he was asleep.

But he didn't feel like he was asleep at all.

Wariness, excitement, expectation, curiosity, fear... all kinds of complex emotions were intertwined in his mind, making him more excited than ever at this moment.

After briefly thinking about the motivation of the shadow, Chen Qing believed that the other party's intelligence level was definitely not too high.

Because it only took two coins, and it was still caught on surveillance.

Chen Qing was still asleep at that time and was completely unaware of everything. At that time, the shadow appeared and took the coins from Chen Qing's pocket.

If it has sufficient intelligence, it should know that the result of this action will cause Chen Qing to become wary of its existence. So if you really want to take it, at least take a bunch of them, not just two.

Moreover, it happened to be photographed by the surveillance camera for a period of time, and the surveillance camera broke down after it appeared. This means that what can damage monitoring is its own characteristics, not its intentional behavior.

Otherwise, it should have destroyed the surveillance from the beginning, instead of giving Chen Qing a chance to see the scene of its actions.

"So, it may be instinct that drives action." Chen Qing had such an idea flashing through his mind.

Just like animals, they rely on instinct to hunt and live.

If this can explain why Chen Qing's coin was felt by the shadow shortly after he entered the hospital.

Perhaps it sensed the smell of "prey" and was ready to come here to find food.

Chen Qing was very curious about this.

This was the first time he saw a "living" extraordinary creature.

And the other party obviously doesn't think much about itself. Even if it is sleeping soundly, it just "steals" coins.

Yes, Chen Qing felt that the other party was clearly "stealing".

Just like a dog at home rummaging through boxes and cabinets, it eats when it finds something and runs away when it can't find it.

So Chen Qing is probably safe until all his coins are eaten.

And this also gave Chen Qing an excellent condition.

A condition to be able to observe "living" extraordinary creatures at close range!

"Obviously there are extraordinary beings in this world, so I need to know their special features as much as possible. And now, a temporarily harmless extraordinary creature is right in front of me. This opportunity is once in a lifetime!"

Therefore, even if Chen Qing learned that there was something abnormal in this hospital, he did not escape immediately.

On the one hand, it was because he had coins that had been discovered by the shadow, so even if he ran away, he might not be able to escape. On the other hand, it was because he urgently wanted to know the mechanism of this extraordinary power.

Maybe that shadow is a "taboo"!

And taboo objects are the foundation for one's future settlement.

Therefore, Chen Qing closed his eyes tightly and began to pretend to sleep.

He waited patiently until four o'clock in the morning came.

However, he actually felt somewhat unsure.

After all, the other party may not come every day. Maybe he has already "eated" today and plans not to come later?

There's no way he could stay in the hospital forever, right? !

Fortunately, perhaps it was because Chen Qing's thoughts were so strong that they affected reality.

It might also be because the shadow was not full and planned to feast again.

Anyway, when four o'clock in the morning comes.

Chen Qing could clearly feel that the temperature of the ward he was in seemed to have increased a little!

This feeling is like a flame appearing not far from you. It will not burn you, but it can let you touch the warmth of the flame.

……etc.

Maybe it’s not the feeling?

Squinting his eyes slightly, Chen Qing saw the "scene" in front of him through the dense eyelashes.

And this look almost made him unable to hold his face while pretending to be asleep!

Because he finally saw what the so-called "distorted shadow" was.

It was clearly a bunch of flames dancing in the air!

Right in front of Chen Qing.

A thin, warm flame was burning slightly, flying on the pants.

Then, a few sporadic flames poked out from its body, and then stretched into Chen Qing's pants pocket...

Two seconds later, two yellow gold coins were touched out by the scattered flames.

After taking out two coins, the speed of the flames became visibly faster.

It's like it's...happy.

"The flame will be...happy?"

Chen Qing was frightened by his incredible thoughts.

But he always felt that he could sense similar "emotions" from the flame.

This emotion is very primitive and not as complex as human beings. Happiness is happiness, sadness is sadness, and fear is fear.

But the idea that a flame can give people the impression that it has emotions is already outrageous!

And what's even more outrageous is.

The flame stuffed two gold coins into its body.

The next second.

Chen Qing felt keenly that the light on the flame seemed to become brighter.

And the emotion in it also became stronger.

This means that it "ate" the gold coins and became stronger? !

Chen Qing was horrified when he saw the scene before him.

Is this a characteristic of fire, or is it an extraordinary characteristic?

If it is the characteristic of fire, it means that it has considerable potential and can eat up other extraordinary power evolutions. It will mix well no matter where it is placed.

And if it's the latter...

So, is there a similar devouring relationship between taboo objects?

Between swallowing and being swallowed, there must be a flow of energy. So, what is the origin of the energy between taboo objects?

All kinds of speculations lingered in Chen Qing's heart, making him more and more awake and not sleepy.

On the other side, the flames seemed to be full again.

It shook its body awkwardly twice, and then rested on Chen Qing's trouser pocket for a long time, seemingly reluctant to let go.

This feels more and more like an underfed puppy.

And at this time.

"Jingle Bell"!

A rapid ringing sound came from Chen Qing's pants pocket.

The moment it heard the phone ringing, the flame suddenly backed up a few meters, whimpering and hiding in the shadows like a frightened dog.

This left Chen Qing speechless.

He had planned not to answer the call so that he could continue observing the flames.

But the person who made this call was very persistent. After hanging up the phone, another one called.

The noisy ringing echoed in the ward, tearing the originally quiet atmosphere into pieces.

Chen Qing felt that even if the flames were still here, they would probably not appear again.

So he could only sigh, get up and pick up his phone.

"Hello?"

On the other side of the phone was Lu Mingcheng, a classmate who had dinner with Chen Qing before.

His voice was very urgent and he seemed a little scared.

While listening to the call, Chen Qing's originally helpless face became more and more serious.

"You mean, the Xu Xiangyang we were talking about at the table who played with girls' emotions and then disappeared... did he send you something?"
