I’m Really Scared
Chapter 195: Guan Shan Is Shocked

Guan Shan had previously stored some of his items, including the Furnace Core and Obsidian Polyhedron, in a relatively safe warehouse in Boxiang Town.

But that was based on his belief at the time that the simulator's items did not have a physical presence.

Now that he thought about it again, it was far from safe.

Of course, it wasn't that he feared the items would be stolen... he was more concerned that someone might fall for the Obsidian Polyhedron's trap and summon the Night Demon, leading to a bloody scene.

"However, there's been no news so far, so it should be fine... right?"

Guan Shan's mouth twitched, feeling an ominous premonition.

After all, no news could mean nothing happened, or it could mean that there were no bodies left to be found...

Hoping that no one was harmed, Guan Shan, after more than a month, returned to Boxiang Town.

He even called the landlord named Zhang to confirm the situation. Judging by the other party's tone, it seemed there were no accidents.

Guan Shan breathed a sigh of relief, stood in front of the warehouse, brushed off the snow on his body, and took out the long-unused key to open the shutter door.

"Clang—"

The cold wind and dust from inside blew out together, bringing an even colder chill than outside.

The empty warehouse was cold and desolate. The only light coming in from outside formed a rectangular patch; the rest was deep darkness.

The Furnace Core quietly floated in the center, emitting a faint glow, illuminating various items on the surrounding shelves, especially the conspicuous Obsidian Polyhedron box.

—The Obsidian Polyhedron would summon the Night Demon in the dark, so a light source had to be kept nearby.

At first glance, it seemed no different from when Guan Shan had left...

But when Guan Shan looked down, he couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitch.

The dust on the floor was clearly divided into several layers, each forming numerous chaotic patterns.

"This is..."

Guan Shan's heart raced. These marks were not just of struggle and dragging but also of shapes resembling splattered blood.

And it wasn't just one layer but layer upon layer.

Just imagining it painted a hellish picture.

"So something did happen!"

Guan Shan sighed, but logically speaking, leaving such dangerous items unattended for a month without incident would be strange!

He turned on the warehouse lights and walked around, discovering one window was not closed and had cracks.

Guan Shan checked the window lock and found signs of forced entry.

"The landlord said nothing happened, and the warehouse door was intact."

"So, it was probably a thief who came for the Obsidian Polyhedron, surely for profit... but why so many people?"

The traces on the ground indicated at least over ten people... Was it necessary to send an entire gang for such an empty warehouse?

Guan Shan frowned, puzzled by what had happened over the month.

"Wait? Was it always like this?"

Guan Shan approached the shelf and was stunned.

The Obsidian Polyhedron, originally as deep and dark as obsidian, had turned a rich crimson, like it had drunk its fill of blood, almost appearing to drip at any moment.

The red was so dark that Guan Shan hadn't noticed the difference earlier.

Guan Shan picked up the crystal, played with it in his hand, and found that not only had its color changed, but even the item description had completely altered.

[Hunter's Authority (Prototype: Obsidian Polyhedron)]

[Effect: At nightfall, it can become the incarnation of [Night Demon], gaining equivalent power until sated with blood.]

[Description: Your name echoes in the mountains, and they sing of the tyrant's virtues.]

Guan Shan: "???"

He stared blankly at the round crystal in his hand, shocked.

"This isn't the same item I originally obtained! What the hell happened in this month?!"

Guan Shan was disoriented in the cold wind.

Meanwhile, the long-separated item, now back in Guan Shan's hands, triggered a series of simulator notifications, causing a flood of messages.

[[Night Demon] has left]

Guan Shan read the entire process and looked at his skyrocketing experience points, feeling as if a herd of alpacas had trampled through his mind, leaving him utterly stunned.

This was insane! Who on earth provoked this killing god?!

"And the most crucial part is, I didn't do anything!"

Guan Shan laughed bitterly. "How did the mission get completed automatically?!"

Judging by the experience points, the first two summoning events involved ordinary people, likely just thieves with ill intentions.

The difference was that the first time involved one person, while later, it seemed to attract a group.

But starting from the third time, the experience points clearly indicated Espers, and they should be D-rank Espers.

This Esper, who somehow entered the warehouse, also took an interest in the Obsidian Polyhedron and became the Night Demon's prey.

And such high-level food seemed to trigger the Night Demon's ferocity, even activating a special mission Guan Shan had never seen before...

The subsequent developments were even more fantastical.

This Esper must have belonged to some organization, and his death brought more people, including an Esper of at least level 10 to 13 by the simulator's evaluation.

But against the Night Demon, they were just a meal...

Thus, after a feast, the Night Demon left, completing a mission for Guan Shan in the process!
