While He Jin left to spread the news, Zhou Chen took out a simple mirror and observed it.
This was the bizarre mirror and its use was mainly to investigate.
After activating the mirror's ability, Zhou Chen realized that a scene in a house had appeared in the mirror. Following his will, the scene kept moving and changing from one place to another.
"This is really a peeping tom ability, but the surface area of the mirror is a little small." After a few seconds, Zhou Chen knew the pros and cons of this thing.
The advantage was that it was inconspicuous and could scout for information of the specified locations. The disadvantage was that the locations needed to be specified. Otherwise, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. It was very time-consuming.
After a few more seconds, Zhou Chen saw the blood-eyed man in the mirror. At this moment, he was hiding in a cabinet, and outside the cabinet was a pitch black monster slowly moving around.
The evil entity did not seem to notice the blood-eyed man and was leaving the room.
"Found an evil entity. Time to work."
Zhou Chen put the mirror in his inventory and immediately headed in the direction of the evil entity.
Within a few seconds, he charged into the house and quickly destroyed the pitch black evil entity.
[You have killed the Insidious Black. Reward: Bizarre Car. ]
[Bizarre Car
Type: Low Silver item
This bizarre car can pass through physical objects and move at a maximum speed of 1, 000 kilometers per hour.
It has the characteristics of not easily damaged and self-repair.
Driving it consumes the driver's blood. ]
Zhou Chen frowned, he was not too satisfied with this reward.
However, he ignored it. He walked to the cabinet and opened it to reveal the shocked blood-eyed man.
The blood-eyed man was shocked because he had seen through the gap in the cabinet door how Zhou Chen had beaten that evil entity, making him understand that Zhou Chen's strength was beyond his imagination.
While this person was staring at Zhou Chen in a daze, Zhou Chen extended his right hand and swiped across his arm, splashing some blood to a black book that suddenly appeared in his left hand.
"I am going to test something, cooperate for a bit." The blood-eyed man, who had been cut by Zhou Chen's finger, immediately woke up from his shock. Just as he was about to flare up, he heard Zhou Chen speak to him gently.
However, before he could react, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart and curled up in the cabinet.
Zhou Chen was speechless when he saw the blood-eyed man's situation.
"Is it that painful? I specially chose mild pain."
Zhou Chen had used the blood medium to inflict some pain to the blood-eyed man. He had also suffered a backlash from the book, suffering half the pain.
However, according to the blood-eyed man's reaction, Zhou Chen felt that the pain he felt was far less than half, because the blood-eyed man was clearly in great pain, while he had only felt an almost insignificant pain.
"Is he acting?"
He thought inwardly. Then, he used the bizarre book to torture this person again. This time, the pain level was intermediate.
Zhou Chen immediately felt something when the curse was activated. It was as if there were many needles pricking his body. It was quite uncomfortable.
The blood-eyed man in the cabinet had already fallen unconscious.
"Looks like there's a problem with this bizarre book. From his actions, the pain I suffered is clearly less than half."
After he finished testing, Zhou Chen stored the bizarre book back in his inventory and took out the bizarre mirror to begin searching for evil entities, ignoring the blood-eyed man who was already on the verge of dying.
After looking at the bizarre mirror for a while, Zhou Chen did not see any new evil entities, but he suddenly looked at the door.
A pale shadow had appeared there at some point in time, emitting a cold aura.
"Is this an evil spirit that was attracted by the bizarre mirror?"
Zhou Chen guessed. Then, he called Little Red from his ring through the spiritual connection.
"Little Red, let's destroy it together."
In order to quickly destroy this evil spirit that was clearly immune to physical attacks, Zhou Chen decided to go all out.
[You have killed the Specter. Reward: Ghost Face]
[Ghost Face
Type: Low Silver item
After wearing this mask, you can change your whole appearance and aura at will.
You cannot use it for more than ten minutes each time, or you will be cursed by the ghost face. ]
"This is similar to the mask that Li Guofu gave me, but it can change my entire body."
Zhou Chen felt that there would be times where this mask would be useful.
Then, he and Little Red continued to search for evil entities and kill them, sweeping through the entire bizarre village.
After a while of searching for evil entities, he returned to his house and saw He Jin and the others.
"Brother Zhou, can you give a few more quotas? Many residents are interested in evilization."
There were seven to eight people beside He Jin, far more than the three spots that Zhou Chen had mentioned.
"If you choose partial evilization, then okay."
If there were people who wanted to cooperate with him in the test, Zhou Chen would naturally not refuse. He had given only three spots because he had considered the lack of time.
"I don't want to become a monster."
An apartment resident immediately replied when he heard Zhou Chen. They had already learned the price of partial evilization from He Jin. Its price could be considered much worse than the lifespan cost of complete evilization.
"I am going to go with partial evilization. I'm already old, and I really don't have much lifespan to spend."
Some were unwilling, but there were also some who were willing. The one who spoke was the middle-aged man, Uncle Wang. He was indeed not young anymore, and it was quite cost-effective to choose partial evilization.
"Alright, line up and enter it one by one. The ones who want to do partial evilization enter first."
As Zhou Chen spoke, he took out the bizarre coffin and placed it on the ground, beginning to arrange the transformations for them.
The transformations did not end until the morning of the third day. At this moment, Little Li was lying in the coffin. Just like He Jin, she had chosen the intermediate level complete evilization.
As for Uncle Wang and the others, they had already completed partial evilization. Uncle Wang chose to evilize his eyes, while the others chose ears, hands, or other organs.
"The evilization by this bizarre coffin is quite different from the ones in the Hell Theater. I can't discover any abnormality in these people without looking carefully."
Among the people who chose the partial evilization, Zhou Chen did not notice anything conspicuously abnormal. Instead, they were very similar to ordinary people. Only by observing carefully could he see some subtle differences, such as being pale and lacking color.
According to the feedback of these people, these evilized organs had enhanced abilities. For example, Uncle Wang, who had the evilized eyes, could see things that ordinary people could not see. The resident who had the evilized hands had greatly increased arm strength and toughness.
What was worth mentioning was that the yellow-haired woman, who did not belong to the apartment, also joined in. She chose the low level complete evilization and obtained an ability similar to freezing. If not for the lack of time, she had planned to undergo the intermediate level complete evilization like He Jin.
Little Li got up from the coffin before the mission was about to end. She excitedly told Zhou Chen about her gains.
"Brother Zhou, I obtained the blood specter's ability. In the future, I will definitely be the first to escape." As she spoke, she activated her ability and turned into a pool of blood. She quickly crawled out of the door and came back inside before turning into her original form.
"Your evilization ability is really good. It's much better than my evilization ability." He Jin could not help but be envious. If he had a choice, he would definitely want this kind of ability.
"Not only do you have the ability to escape, you should also have a spiritual attack ability."
Zhou Chen immediately remembered after seeing Little Li show her ability.
This was because his Touch of Evil passive skill was obtained from a blood specter. Although it was a silver rank existence, its lower ranked version probably had a similar ability.
In this way, Zhou Chen spent the last period of the mission testing the bizarre coffin. Through these tests, he learned some of the effects of the bizarre coffin and increased his understanding of it.
When the mission duration was up, everyone was instantly pulled back to the hall of the Blood Letter Apartment.
Zhou Chen counted and realized that there were more than twenty residents left in the apartment. More than half had survived.
This outcome was clearly not normal. According to He Jin and the others, the survival rate of a normal blood mission would not even reach a quarter, but this time, it was so high that it could be considered a bug.
This was mainly because these residents had someone to rely on this time. When the evil entities appeared, they would be found and eliminated by Zhou Chen before they could start their killing spree, reducing the difficulty for the other residents.
Zhou Chen did not care much about this. He killed the evil entities for the rewards, and not specifically to save them.
At this moment, his time in this world was nearing its end.
In the last two days, he easily completed another mission and observed He Jin and Little Li team up to clear a mission. Then, he returned to the Planet Blue world.
He left just as quietly and suddenly as he had arrived.
However, many years later, He Jin and Little Li, who returned to the living world after completing ten blood missions, still remembered him. They remembered that there was a mysterious young man named Zhou Chen who had brought hope to this tragic world.
[You have completed the Survival mission. Reward: 1 Spirit Scroll (Low Silver), 1 Bizarre House (Low Silver), 1 Bizarre Shoes (Low Silver)]
As the dazed feeling dissipated, Zhou Chen found himself back in his villa in Yang City and was sitting on the sofa.
He first checked the low silver spirit scroll and realized that this scroll added 1 spirit attribute, so he immediately used it.
Then, he looked at the two rewards.
[Bizarre House
Type: Low Silver item
This amazing house can not only shelter you from the wind and rain, but it can also provide a comfortable living environment. It can also change into various styles to satisfy your aesthetic needs. It can even provide you with three healthy and delicious meals a day. It's the best choice for traveling. ]
[Bizarre Shoes
Type: Low Silver item
When you wear these shoes, you will obtain the following two skills:
Phasing: Your body will turn into spirit form. You can pass through physical obstacles at will. You can use it once every 15 minutes; every use can last for up to a minute.
Invisibility: Your body will become completely transparent, and your aura and presence have greatly decreased, making it difficult for others to discover you. You can use it once per hour; every use can last for up to ten minutes. ]
"There are no negative effects?"
He looked at the details of the bizarre house and the bizarre shoes and found that they did not have any negative effects. This made him feel that the names of the two items should be changed.
But in any case, these two things were quite useful. The bizarre house could be used to stay in during Survival missions, while the bizarre shoes had nice abilities
"Bronze-ranked dungeons really can't be compared to silver-ranked dungeons. Although this Survival mission wasn't long, I have gained a lot."
While thinking, Zhou Chen opened his character interface.

Comprehensive Evaluation: Mid Silver. ]
"What the hell? How did I advance to the middle rank?"
After checking his interface, Zhou Chen realized that other than the summon row on the interface, his overall evaluation had increased by another level.
"Low silver missions are over for me in one mission? This is too fast..."
Zhou Chen felt that there was a problem here.
However, no matter how much he felt that something was wrong, the system would not react, much less change it. He could only accept this fact.
"Forget it, I'll eat something first... hmm, let's try the food of the bizarre house."
Zhou Chen had eaten nothing for seven days in the previous Survival mission. He was hungry, but when he remembered how the bizarre house could provide food, he wanted to try it.
"Little Red, take a stroll in the villa and get familiar with it."
He casually called the red female specter who was hiding in his ring and went downstairs to release the bizarre house..
