After waking up in the morning, Yan Junze thought about it and felt that his nerves had indeed been getting thicker and less sensitive. He was well aware that the terrifying old woman upstairs would come knocking at two in the morning, yet he managed to sleep soundly through it.
However, becoming braver was a good thing, after all. In the future, when he completed tasks, he at least wouldn't feel so timid, which could affect his performance.
Yan Daguo got up early in the morning and seriously inspected the bathroom door, searching but still not finding any trace of the red-dressed girl. The couple's worries diminished even more.
Li Man wasn't working that morning, and as usual, she cooked a bowl of scallion noodles for Yan Junze before taking her basket and rushing to the vegetable market to buy some fresh vegetables.
After finishing his noodles, Yan Junze checked the time and saw it was still early. At the moment, Ke'er was also lying quietly on him, not moving an inch.
He accessed the Spacetime Atlas in his mind and looked at the seven lit-up nodes.
Yan Junze felt a sense of satisfaction.
If every task could be completed smoothly, he felt that lighting up the entire Spacetime Atlas wouldn't be such a difficult task.
As for the strangenesses Yan Junze had encountered so far, it seemed they differed in levels. For instance, a Wandering Spirit like Ke'er should be considered on the lower end of the spectrum.
And like the Possession Spirit from yesterday, it definitely ranked higher than Ke'er, otherwise Ke'er wouldn't have proactively left him outside the office.
Of course, the insufficient friendship level between Ke'er and Yan Junze was also one of the reasons for her departure.
Yan Junze speculated that the old woman in the "The Old Woman Knocking at Mid-Night" task was probably not high-level either, or else the task level wouldn't just be Anxiety-Inducing (Medium), which was not as high as the level of the task "Staying in the Same Room as Zhang Tiantian."
Sitting in the living room and pondering for a while, and since it wasn't time to go to school yet, Yan Junze decided to try out the "Perception of Strange Events" feature of the seventh node.
The words "Perception of Strange Events" only appeared above the seventh node, meaning that Different Dimension Energy had to reach this point to be able to activate the feature.
But Yan Junze wasn't sure how much energy would be consumed by activating it once, as long as it didn't deplete the energy from all seven nodes.
The moment he thought this, the seventh node that was originally lit went out abruptly.
Yan Junze couldn't perceive how much energy radiated out with him as the center at that moment, but his head suddenly jolted as if ripples had spread on a calm sea surface.
In less than a minute, a stream of information converged towards him, soon presenting itself in his mind.
[Detecting Different Dimension Energy and dimensional spatial frequency band, decoding in progress...]
[Coordinates determined: FH Community, Building 7, Room 503.]
[Mission Name: The Old Woman Knocking at Mid-Night;
Mission Level: Anxiety-Inducing (Medium);
Mission Background: Neighbor Granny Ren has been troubled lately because her children haven't visited her in a long time. She deeply misses them, especially her little grandson Yu Xiaochang. But Granny Ren can no longer tell them that. Can you help her?
Mission Description: Open the door for Granny Ren when she knocks at two in the morning;
Mission Reward: 200 points of Different Dimension Energy;
Mission Punishment: Unknown;
Mission Tip: 1. The Evil Spirit cannot be kept out by locks; 2. There is a branch mission waiting to be triggered;
Note: Granny Ren is not mute.]
This was the first mission Yan Junze had detected and one he was preparing to embark on next.
But other words were still converging, quickly forming a second detected mission.
[Coordinates determined: In the garden of Flowery Paradise Garden Residential Area, near the electric fountain.]
[Mission Name: Reflection Under the Moonlight;
```
Mission Level: Trembling With Fear (Medium);
Mission Background: On a night of the full moon, Fang Ning had been waiting for someone for two years. From the night of the promise up until the next morning, her body was not found until it was fished out of a short-circuited fountain. Yet that person never appeared. Fang Ning was beautiful, but the electrocution burned her for so long that her body underwent metalization; clothes, watch, shoes, and muscle tissues melted together. Still, she continues to wait for that promised moment. As long as someone is willing to stand back to back with her and join hands, to promise eternity under the moonlight.
Mission Description: Make the original promise with Fang Ning;
Mission Reward: 800 points of Different Dimension Energy;
Mission Punishment: Become her eternal lover;
Mission Tips: 1. The Evil Spirit can be put under Lockdown; 2. The mission must be carried out on a clear and moonlit night;
Remarks: No matter what she says, just try saying "no."]
Looking at the mission level marked Trembling With Fear (Medium), Yan Junze couldn't help but click his tongue. This was damn difficult. Even [Staying in the Same Room as Zhang Tiantian] was only rated as Trembling With Fear (Low), and had it not been for the Rewind activation, or if the exorcist hadn't arrived at the last moment, he would have surely been dead by now.
FH Community is right next to the Flowery Paradise Garden Residential Area where he lived. Although it was also an older residential community, the facilities were still quite complete.
It was just that Yan Junze never expected that such a terrifying accident had occurred in the Flowery Paradise Garden's electrical fountain.
Moreover, this Spacetime Atlas was too intelligent; you had to admit, the final remark about the mission was very specific, very vivid, and also very speechless.
He then looked at the third mission.
[Coordinates confirmed: Jianye Building Basement Floor 004 Storage Room.]
[Mission Name: Peeking from the Crack in the Wall;
Mission Level: Anxiety-Inducing (High);
Mission Background: His fate was tragic, with a wife lost and children scattered. His name was synonymous with loneliness, destined to never catch anyone's attention in his life. Most unfortunate of all, after an accidental incident, people forgot him in the corner. Yes, he is still there, hidden in the deepest part of the building.
Mission Description: Let him rest in peace forever;
Mission Reward: 300 points of Different Dimension Energy;
Mission Punishment: Become a substitute, trading for his freedom;
Mission Tips: 1. The Evil Spirit cannot be put under Lockdown; he is already pitiable, please let him go; 2. The secret lies in his eyes;
Remarks: Perhaps you should bring some tools.]
The mission level was Anxiety-Inducing (High), not yet reaching the severity of Trembling With Fear. Yan Junze felt slightly relieved.
But as it appeared, completing these missions wasn't as easy as imagined. Compared to his first [Hair Washing] mission, it almost seemed like a beginner's boon.
At that moment, he felt the Ke'er lying on his back seemed somehow more pleasing to the eye.
After being reborn, Yan Junze had scouted the vicinity thoroughly; he knew the location of Jianye Building very well, right across the street from his FH Community residence.
However, it seemed that there was security in the building, and getting in and reaching the basement floor was not so easy.
Looking at this, after having activated "Perception of Strange Events," the detection distance covered was mostly near his residential area, so the consumption of Different Dimension Energy wasn't too significant.
Although one node had gone out, the timeline segment was still lit. Considering its slow recovery rate, even if Yan Junze stopped absorbing energy into the Spacetime Atlas, the 7th node could also recover on its own.
As he was contemplating, Yan Junze's eyes suddenly lit up because the detection information that had not yet completely disappeared from his mind once again transmitted a text prompt.
[Detected new Different Dimension Energy and Dimensional Spatial Waveband, analyzing…]
The moment the mission appeared, Yan Junze's brain went 'boom,' and he plunged into a momentary blank.
