My Salvation Game Became true?!.

Chapter 35: Chapter 35 From today onwards, you are the number two worker.

An Jianyou’s eyes widened, still shimmering with a faint blue glow as she took hesitant steps forward, fear still present.

It was like a mousetrap catching a big rat. Even if you wanted to grab it with your hand, fear would take hold, and Mysterious Evil was much scarier than a rat—ugly and frightening.

An Jianyou, the girl, wasn’t very brave or fierce, but she had a certain tenacity in her bones.

Having persisted for so many years, she wasn’t about to shrink back now. Despite looking almost frightened to tears, she continued to approach Mysterious Evil step by step.

Watering Mysterious Evil: I should be the one afraid, don’t come any closer!

As An Jianyou got closer, the Buddhist amulets wrapped around her hand began to emit a faint light. When quality wasn’t enough, quantity made up for it, especially since Watering Mysterious Evil was just a minor Mysterious Evil.

Immediately, a hissing sound emitted, and a faint smell of burning… a scorched stench became apparent.

An Jianyou, who was suppressing the Mysterious Evil with ‘Ghost Control,’ felt significantly more at ease.

The Mysterious Evil had weakened.

So, she had grown stronger.

When facing stronger Mysterious Evil, the effect of Ghost Control weakened, the consumption was greater, and she could only comply obediently. But against a weaker Mysterious Evil, the suppressive power of Ghost Control became evident, and she struck with force.

After a barrage of forceful punches, mainly thanks to the Buddhist amulets, the Watering Mysterious Evil grew increasingly weaker.

An Jianyou no longer needed to use Ghost Control to suppress it, as the minor Mysterious Evil no longer posed any threat. She began the final steps.

Branding, controlling.

The dim blue light in her eyes flared up once again, this time even brighter, as if etching a unique engraving inside the Mysterious Evil.

After a while,

the blue light in An Jianyou’s eyes faded, and the Watering Mysterious Evil stood still, looking both stunned and foolish.

“Is, is it done?”

“I caught my first Mysterious Evil, yay!”

She gave a “V” sign before her whole body staggered as if about to be blown away by the wind. She felt weak all over, her head throbbing with pain. An Jianyou let out a “woof” and collapsed onto the ground in a duck-sitting position, her eyes blank. It took her a good while to regain her senses, and her head still ached.

“Is this due to the excessive consumption of physical and spiritual energy?”

“Dealing with Mysterious Evil is indeed a difficult task. The skill’s duration is too short. I’m too weak.”

“Work hard! Train!”

“Hm… I think I can control another Mysterious Evil. I’ll catch the second one after I recover.”

“Even though having two Mysterious Evils might still be too weak compared to the seniors in the organization.”

…

In front of the phone screen, Fang You fell into deep thought, the noodles in his hand no longer appealing.

He calculated the time An Jianyou spent on this battle.

Well, at least ten to twenty seconds.

In his view, there were quite a few mistakes in An Jianyou’s battle execution: panic when facing Mysterious Evil, not quickly weakening it with the Buddhist amulets despite having it suppressed, and so on.

A huge waste of precious time, precious energy.

Yet, An Jianyou could still be described as having a complete victory in this battle, even though ‘Ghost Control’ was essentially a skill of duration. For a girl as meager as An Jianyou, maintaining it for ten to twenty seconds was…

Too strong!

Thinking about his own modest capacity,

thinking about Black Blade who could only exert his full power for a few seconds at most, Fang You continued in silence.

“My Angel Envoy An Jianyou has the potential of a strong fighter.”

Of course, An Jianyou’s current strength was not up to par. In Fang You’s eyes, Watering Mysterious Evil was worth at most 0.3 fate points. Not to mention Black Blade, even he could slap this Mysterious Evil away with a single hand.

But the skill Ghost Control, ah, its true strength lies in the late game.

“This ability has four types of powers: suppression, weakening, control, and enhancement.”

Suppression is what An Jianyou just displayed, which can slow down the movements of the Mysterious Evil and even imprison it.

Weakening can lower the ‘energy level’ of the Mysterious Evil, causing sustained damage, and if the user is strong enough, killing the Mysterious Evil with just a glare is not impossible… But that would be a waste.

Both of these abilities are merely auxiliary; the real core technique is controlling the Mysterious Evil, manipulating it to fight against enemies.

At the introductory level, Ghost Control usually allows one to control just one Mysterious Evil, which Fang You read in the skill description, but since An Jianyou is convinced she can control a second one, it must be a boost from her talent.

Fang You couldn’t say he was envious, he could only say he was very envious.

Although such a talented girl still works for me, so… I’m still the awesome one, huh.

…

After eating breakfast and training for a while, Fang You turned his attention back to An Jianyou. By this time, the girl had rested, eaten, and drunk and was almost fully recovered.

As soon as she recovered, she used the ‘Ghost Control’ ability to replenish the energy of the watering Mysterious Evil, which was visibly invigorated despite its injuries.

But it was still under An Jianyou’s control.

She muttered, “After recovering a bit more, I can go catch the second Mysterious Evil. This time I can aim for a slightly stronger one. Once I have two, I can select the third target.”

“Then I can discard one weaker one and replace it with a stronger one.”

She felt no guilt about discarding a Mysterious Evil; if it weren’t for battle purposes, she really wouldn’t want to carry these Mysterious Evils around.

They are so ugly, so hideous! Seeing them every day would really give me nightmares; they’re nothing like pets!

And furthermore…

An Jianyou furrowed her brows again. She was no longer completely naive and had come to understand some information.

Ordinary people can’t see Mysterious Evils, but they subtly influence people’s emotions and reason, posing a significant risk! She wasn’t too afraid and wouldn’t be affected, but carrying them was like carrying a mobile pollution source, which was not okay to do when going out.

She even feared affecting the neighbors if she locked them up at home.

As she was thinking this, numerous particles of light gathered, outlining an object the size of a palm, with long flag-like strips hanging from it.

It materialized out of thin air and appeared in her hand.

This method,

the method of transferring objects across infinite spatial distances,

greatly shocked An Jianyou. The mentor is really amazing! She thought to herself, feeling weak. Could she really live up to the mentor’s expectations?

…

Among the items An Jianyou received along with the others was a precious artifact called ‘Mysterious Soul Banner’ in addition to the ‘Ghost Control’ skill.

The term ‘artifact’ was also new to Fang You, referring to things that are strange, come with side effects, and, of course, have all sorts of wondrous effects.

And the effect of the Mysterious Soul Banner is simple: it can store Mysterious Evils that lack resistance, and it can absorb and store ‘filthy wind’ for the recovery of Mysterious Evils on ordinary days.

It can’t be said to match perfectly with Ghost Control, only that it’s a complete set.

And just like that, it was tailor-made for this girl, because… the side effect of the Mysterious Soul Banner is that its bearer is constantly exposed to Mysterious Evils, and their sanity slowly erodes.

Only two kinds of people would dare to hold onto it continuously—madmen and An Jianyou.

An Jianyou’s sanity is unaffected, at least not by common or slightly advanced ones; though she can be scared, she is scared every day.

With one Mysterious Evil and the artifact Mysterious Soul Banner, An Jianyou’s system could be said to have begun taking shape.

Young girl, from now on, you are the organization’s number two worker.

Strive to overtake Black Blade one day. I’m rooting for you.

In the name of training newcomers, Fang You equipped An Jianyou with the ‘Mysterious Soul Banner’ and urged her to make early… to make an early contribution to the future of humanity.

“Once An Jianyou gets more familiar with the skill, she can be assigned missions,” Fang You thought.

“As for now, the skill Ghost Control is quite nice, and in the next moment, it will lie in my skill bar.”
