Chapter 61: "Start a story"

Walked up the stairs to the third floor carefully with Luna on his back. Linc looked at the super dark room, and he was speechless.

How to find a flashlight if there is no lighting aid?

It's like asking a blind man to find his way to the cemetery!

Very dark!

"Click!"

All the lights in the room immediately became bright, the entire contents of the third floor could be seen clearly.

Linc looked at Luna.

"Switch." her finger pointed to the switch attached to the wall near the two of them with an innocent face.

"...."

"[You feel so stupid.]"

Take a deep breath and feel like dying. Linc looked forward with a stiff face, and lowered Luna who was on his back.

Maybe it was because he had lived in a remote place for too long that he had forgotten about simple things like this.

According to the analysis he did while cooking in the kitchen. The dust hasn't piled up yet, which indicates that this mall hasn't been abandoned in weeks.

Realized that the stock of meat and vegetables in the storage room on the first floor had not completely decomposed. The owner of this abandoned mall seems to have functioned normally in the past 2 to 6 days.

Which indicates that the electricity supply to this building has not been cut off at all.

The "refugee" that blossom said seemed to have a close connection with what was going on around here.

Linc wasn't going to admit that he had been soo stupid. Only monkeys confess.

Monkey: "...."

Seeing Luna started to open her picture book. Linc saw that there was no threat around him, and he immediately walked over, circling this third floor.

The third floor seems to be dedicated to electronics and kitchen utensils.

There's no flashlight, but that's not too much of a problem.

He had a rank IV mechanical skill. One LED TV that is displayed in the middle of a row of shelves, can be made into an ultra light flashlight.

It just takes time to assemble, and disassemble.

"Tools? Hammers... It's been a long time, nice to meet you again, comrades in arms." Linc put a medium hammer into his backpack.

"Saw? Inefficient. Kitchen knife!"

Linc picked up a dozen kitchen knives, and carefully tucked them into his duffel bag.

This kitchen knife can be turned into a throwing knife if absolutely necessary.

However, there was no hot weapon like a gun in his hand at this time. So the effects of the time bullet and perfect aim skills are drastically reduced.

Linc could only take advantage of being a versatile, flexible human to survive in this cursed real world.

"....What happened to you?"

Dragged one LED TV to where Luna was previously sitting. Linc saw Luna crying sadly on the floor.

"The picture..." Luna wiped her tears that kept falling down, "... Disappeared."

Stood in front of Luna and saw the picture book had turned into a disgusting mix of colors. Linc did not know which chemical product to produce the picture book.

This book is not child friendly.

"Don't cry, doesn't the first floor have a lot of picture books? I think I've seen a book about a bee looking for its lost mother. You'll love that one."

Luna shook her head: "It's not the same!" Luna shouted angrily, "I want the exact same book as this!!"

Look at the very aggressive Luna. Linc stepped back a little, to avoid the spray of emotional trouble.

"...?"

Linc suddenly saw a line of text floating above Luna's picture book.

"[A book that has the exact same story as the person holding the current book. This book is most likely the reason why she wanted to run away from the tower.]"

Watching the rows of floating text silently. Linc found it a bit complicated.

"[Special mission triggered.]"

"[Special mission: "As a person who yearns for freedom, please teach your daughter the true meaning of freedom.]"

"[Reward: Unknown.]"

Take a deep breath. Linc seemed to understand why Luna shouted angrily.

Freedom.

Maybe she saw a freedom she craved in the book.

Her own ideal of freedom.

Linc was the exact same person as Luna. So he understood the feeling that Luna was currently experiencing.

"....To be honest, I don't understand what freedom really means myself."

Purchased "blank books" in the second row of store shelves. A book that had a beautiful blue cover with a gold ribbon appeared in Linc's hand.

"Luna."

She lifted her face which was filled with tears. Luna hugged the broken picture book in her hand tightly, and she saw the devil holding another book in his hand.

"How about writing your own story?"

Luna raised her eyebrows: "My story?"

"Yes, your story. The story you experienced after you came out of the tower. Your own story."

Taking the book with a blue cover in the devil's hand. Her tiny fingers, turned to a blank page.

"... Story... My self..."

Words that Luna had never imagined at all.

Since when did she have a story?

Does she have a story?

Look at this demon in front of her. Luna remembers their first meeting at the river.

She's always been locked up in the tower. The story there is very boring.

That's why she kept dreaming.

However, what about now?

Maybe... .This story is going to be a little more interesting.

Luna came to her senses, wiped away the tears, and she smiled very sweetly: "Thank you, dad!"

Father, indeed a person who can provide spiritual comfort. The devil didn't lie to her at all.

"[You got the mysterious key!]"

"[You received an attack!]"

"[You have diabetes stun!]"

"[Suggestion: don't eat too much sugar. her sweet smile can really kill you.]"

"System, you shut up."

Look at Luna's sweet smile. Linc's heartbeat quickened for a second, and then suddenly stopped just like the first time he came.

His chest was very sore.

"Cough..."

Felt the taste of rusty iron seep on his tongue. Linc suspected that his fragile heart had been the result of being in the water for too long, injured, from the workload too much.

Luna's smile, it really could kill Linc on the spot.

It's too dangerous.

"Use the mysterious key...."

"[Ding! You got...]"

Disrupt the rhythm of the system as he had been doing all this time. Linc immediately pulled the lid off the vitality potion, and he drank it on the spot.

His body got a little better.

He seemed to need some more vitality potions.

"[Ding! You successfully completed the special mission!]"

"[Prize: please ask someone who has knowledge and ask how to control the Hore energy in the body.]"

Viewing a gift notification is in no way similar to a gift. Linc rolled his eyes.

"Every day you stay away from the system image you designed for me."

Linc felt the system was hopeless.
