Chapter 27: New Abnormality

Having prepared a pen and paper, the psychic cat began to speak.

"Number 312, Bell of Chaos."

"Form - physical existence form, revolver shape."

"Character, pranks, coordination."

"Characteristic 1. The first five bullets will definitely hit the target it wants to hit. Once the sixth bullet hits, most living creatures including anomalies will die...except for anomalies with at least one hundred numbers and the ability to restrain themselves."

"Feature 2, six consecutive bullets must be aimed at the same target for Feature 1 to take effect."

"Characteristic 3...I didn't know you left it blank, meow!"

"Preference, lubrication, normal temperature, interesting individual."

"Existence form - self-action is low, and humans are the most preferred symbiotic individuals."

"Containment method - use containment facilities to capture the anomaly after cracking it. The anomaly is currently unknown."

"unknown?"

Ye Lan stopped writing furiously and looked at the psychic cat with a look of 'are you kidding me'.

"Yes, meow...I don't know what its abnormality is!"

But what you said...don't I still not know how to contain it?

"That's it, meow! You can understand that the abnormal phenomenon is an environment created by the abnormality using its best ability. If you crack its best ability, it will lose its defense ability, and you can face the main body directly. ”

It paused and made an extremely unexpected guess.

"My guess is that you have successfully cracked the 'anomalous phenomenon' of that photo frame anomaly, but you have not yet seen the original body and missed the opportunity to contact it, so you have not been able to reach the 'containment' step."

In an instant, that memory came back to my mind.

The starting point of the incident was that I was sucked into the time and place of the photo inside by the abnormality of the photo frame.

At the end of the matter, I restored the scene in the photo!

That last... group photo!

So this is the most critical step in the containment process - cracking the anomaly?

As he thought about it, Yelan's complexion changed slightly, and the cat in the soul seemed to have thought of something. It jumped to the ground and ran a few steps to the corner of the wall, where Yelan had piled up debris.

Yelan also leaned over with a little heart, and picked up the photo frame that was thrown there in the corner.

"I'm sure you were affected by it, but I didn't feel any abnormal reaction from it tonight."

Yelan nodded slightly, picked it up and looked at it.

Above, it's still the gray and white photo. The difference is that I can already recognize everyone above.

"I was standing right here."

Yelan pointed to the middle, and the cat of the soul came over to look at it and gave a thumbs up.

"It's the C position, meow!"

Yelan:......

Is this what I'm trying to say?

"But in fact, there is no me on it. It means that everything I experienced never happened."

The mayor, Amon, the owner of the Mosquito Restaurant, and the lively townspeople...

This is false and hard to believe!

"Abnormal abilities are like this, meow." The psychic cat said.

Yeah? Why do I feel that I am not that outrageous at all? I am really a fake anomaly, right?

Probably knowing what Ye Lan was thinking, the psychic cat spoke faintly.

"Isn't it really outrageous how you chased a demon sickle there single-handedly?"

Yelan:......

If you put it that way, it does seem a little bit.

"Then I was 'expelled' in the end, which can actually be understood as its rejection and resistance."

The psychic cat nodded.

"That's right, meow!" It geared up. "The abnormality born last is unruly. Next time we find it, we need to train it properly, meow!"

Ye Lan nodded. Of course, his desire to teach this photo frame a lesson was no greater than his desire to teach the 'Clock of Chaos' a lesson.

"Let's first make a simple record of what we know about it."

With the help of the psychic cat, Ye Lan quickly divided another page for it.

Regarding the abnormal serial number, Ye Lan paused slightly.

"How to calculate the serial number?"

The psychic cat thought for a while and said excitedly.

"Let's open a new version for these new anomalies! After all, the serial numbers of the previous anomalies are full, and it is not easy to insert. If the serial number is too late, it will not match its strength classification."

Ye Lan nodded, thought for a moment, and wrote a title on this white paper.

‘New anomaly. ’

[Exception number——New 301. 】

After all, Ye Lan has experienced it personally. No matter how weird this photo frame is, it can't compare to the 003-level existence in the sky. Compared with the psychic cat, it's only 50-50. A ranking between 300 and 400 is already considered a relatively high ranking.

[Ability - Unknown, suspected of sucking people into the world of photos in the photo frame. 】

[Known characteristics - 1. Everything in the photo can be restored completely and truly. 】

[Known Feature 2 - You can enter the world in the photo. 】

[Known Feature 3 - Only photos hung in the photo frame have this effect, hanging other photos will trigger a new scene world (suspected). 】

[Known preferences - hang valuable photos and hang them where many people can see them. (suspected)]

[Containment method - enter the photo, restore the final scene, and then capture it with the containment device. 】

[Containment Recommendation: It should be carried out by personnel whose fighting style does not rely much on external objects. 】

After putting down the pen, Yelan paused.

"What's under the ditch...do you have any guesses?"

The psychic cat said nothing, stood at the window and looked out.

The green ditch looks even more filthy in front of the white fish belly that gradually appears.

"I don't feel any different, cat. But I have an idea."

The psychic cat stared at the calm water and continued.

"The first possibility is that that thing has been solved, so I can't feel it at all now. After all, decades have passed."

Ye Lan nodded. After all, everyone saw that scene. As long as the mayor didn't get kicked in the head, he would definitely find a way to solve it in the future. If you can't solve it yourself, ask someone to solve it. Look for Glory City, look for the church, there is always someone in this world who can at least discover what it is.

"The second possibility is that it is too strong, far beyond my range of perception..." The psychic cat paused. "But I don't think it's possible. That level must at least reach the 003 level. Here..."

This is just a tmd novice village! !

"The third possibility...it has been controlled, controlled in a way similar to containment."

This possibility is what worries Ye Lan the most.

That means there is at least one force hiding in this place, watching every move here!

Including... I am trying to get in touch with my abnormal self little by little!

"Of course there is another possibility. That thing is just an abnormality in the photo frame and does not actually exist."

Yelan added in her mind what she had not finished.

'It's just that the possibility is so low that it seems to exist just for one more option...'

Taking a deep breath, Yelan temporarily put it behind her.

"Then we will ignore this for the time being until we get relevant clues again. The top priority now is to contain the first anomaly and temporarily solve the hunger problem."

After a pause, Ye Lan spoke again.

"And...if this problem cannot be solved soon, we must find a way to earn next week's rent, ensure the supply of food and replenish ammunition."

Well... one second we were talking about such a big proposition, and the next second it turned into an embarrassing competition and the rent we were facing...

I went through the ideas in my mind, and it was actually good news. The psychic cat said that his hunger problem would not break out until seven days at the latest and three days at the earliest. I didn't want to delay it until the seventh day, so I tried my best to solve the problem within three days.

And it's only been two days, and I've already gotten two unusual and relatively specific clues!

Next comes two things. Follow Arthur's line to find the body of the Chaos Bell and the mystery of the Chaos Wheel; and go to the Mosquito Restaurant again to confirm the status of the photo frame.

Speaking of mosquito restaurants...

Yelan raised her head slightly, and the weak sunlight had already poured into the room.

"It's time to have breakfast..."
