Chapter 5 [5] Ghost Claw

Not long after, all the street lights beside the road came on.

The lamps are lighting fixtures fueled by "brown oil," a perennial tree called the stone fruit tree.

When the tree reaches 12 years old, it will bear stone fruit, its skin is as hard as a rock, and contains viscous high-calorific oil, called "stone pectin".

After refining, brown oil can be obtained; the refining residue, mixed with sawdust, can be pressed into honeycomb fuel; brown oil can be mixed with resin, and can also be made into candles.

All in all, a lot of uses.

Cheng Han feels that stone pectin is a bit like oil in his previous life.

The difference is that the latter is drawn from the ground, while the former grows from trees.

10 minute later.

Cheng Han rode his bicycle and arrived at the main entrance of Shanyifang.

The so-called "Shanyifang" is a welfare community built by the government. The civilians living here are all low-income families, with a total of more than 160 households. There are not many orphans like him.

Cheng Han jumped off his bicycle and pushed it towards the gate.

"Wang! Wang!"

A loud barking sound came from the door.

Two majestic and majestic mastiffs, reaching the waist of an adult male, trotted over from left to right.

They are spirit mastiffs, their intelligence is comparable to that of a 15-year-old boy, and they can understand human language.

The spirit mastiff is a working dog with a "staffing" and belongs to the inspection department, which arranges several spirit mastiffs for each community to act as security for the residential area.

Cheng Han immediately shouted: "Peach, plum, it's me!"

The two mastiffs shook their tails a few times in a friendly manner.

The spirit mastiff named "Taozi" walked around Cheng Han, put the dog's nose close to his schoolbag, and sniffed carefully several times.

This is a routine check.

There are many dangerous items related to Ability God in this world. One of the responsibilities of the Spirit Mastiff is to identify these items and prevent them from being brought into the community.

"Wang!"

Tao Zi barked, and the dog's head swung towards the gate, as if saying: "Go in."

Such a performance can be called perfect.

Cheng Han waved at them and walked through the gate of the community.

"Wang! Wang!"

The two mastiffs each responded and watched him enter the community.

Cheng Han's small apartment has a layout of one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, with a total area of ​​more than [-] square meters.

Before he reaches the age of 16, he does not need to pay a copper coin for rent, and can receive 450 catties of rice, [-] catties of flour, and [-] copper coins every month.

In contrast, in his previous life, his shabby single room was only [-] square meters, but the rent was as high as [-] yuan. He spent one-third of his salary, and after deducting expenses such as food, transportation, and clothing, there was not much left in the monthly balance.

Although there are not all kinds of household appliances in this world, the convenience of life is much worse, but the pressure of life is far less than that of the previous life.

Cheng Han put down his schoolbag and started making dinner.

First pour a little brown oil into the stove, ignite it, and then put a piece of honeycomb fuel, and after a while, a hot flame will emerge.

Simply wash the rice, put it on the stove, grab a handful of white umbrella mushrooms and wash it twice, serve with some bacon, stir-fry in an iron pan, and a dinner is ready.

Cheng Han took a bite of the white umbrella mushroom and nodded slightly: "The taste is not bad!"

The white umbrella mushroom contains a variety of amino acids, and the oil fully stimulates the umami taste, which is no less delicious than the truffles from the previous life.

He deeply felt that the development and utilization of plants by humans in this world was much higher than in another time and space.

Stone fruit trees are a typical example, and fungi are an example.

Since time travelling, Cheng Han has bought at least [-] kinds of mushrooms in the vegetable market, and all of them are delicious and not expensive.

After dinner, he entered the bedroom, lay on the bed, and his breathing quickly became long.

In the school's meditation class, a technique called "Fushan Breathing Method" was taught. According to Qiu Yuan, if you master this breathing method, you can enter a deep sleep state in 3 minutes.

This method requires extremely high talent, and only one person in the class barely started, and only one or two times out of ten attempts can quickly and deeply sleep.

Even in the whole school, the number of entry does not exceed 15 people.

Of course, the predecessor is not among them.

After Cheng Han traveled through time, he used his skills to deduce the breathing method on a whim, and got feedback—if he adjusted a certain detail, it would help him master the breathing method.

He tried it and found a slight improvement in sleep status.

Surprised, Cheng Han decided to improve the breathing method in an all-round way. After half a year of deduction, he finally obtained a brand new breathing method-Cheng's breathing method.

More importantly, this is a method that perfectly fits oneself.

Not only has it been tried and tested, but the effect is also surprisingly good.

You can enter a deep sleep state in 2 minutes, which is much stronger than Fushan breathing method.

after an hour.

Cheng Han woke up.

At this moment, he felt full of energy, and there was no longer a trace of dizziness in his head.

Looking at the attributes, I saw that the spiritual value reached 7.2/13.2.

Compared with before, the mental value has fully recovered by 6.6 points.

This is the benefit of deep sleep.

Cheng Han imagined the image of the black cat, and said silently: "Using the black cat I met earlier as a clue, deduce what will happen to it in the next few days."

The scalp feels immediately refreshed.

But did not get the message.

The deduction failed.

Spirit value decreased by 0.3 points.

Cheng Han took a few deep breaths, and said silently for the second time: "Deduction."

The coolness reappeared.

But still no feedback.

Failed again.

This is actually normal.

According to past experience, the failure probability of using the all-seeing eye is almost [-]%, and success is rare.

Cheng Han tried five times in a row, until the sixth deduction, and finally got feedback.

His eyes blurred, and a somewhat blurred illusory lens appeared:

The black cat jumped down from the wall and landed lightly on the ground. It screamed sharply and ran towards the place not far away.

A second later, the shock turned abrupt.

Suddenly a dark shadow appeared on the ground, and a black ghost claw flashed out of it, and quickly grabbed the black cat.

The black cat seemed to be aware of it, and at the very moment, it jumped up high.

The ghost claw immediately changed direction, touched the black cat's body like lightning, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke, and then dissipated.

Incredible things happened.

The black cat's body, as if it had become a leaky balloon, quickly deflated.

"Snapped!"

A complete cat skin fell from mid-air to the ground, making a soft noise.

Its flesh and blood disappeared strangely.

The camera freezes for a moment, then disappears.

一道信息一闪而至：“熟练度+4，目前熟练度为20/1000，精神值为2.4/13.2。”

Cheng Han only felt creepy: "My previous hunch was correct. The black cat does have a problem. Could it be that the shadow and ghost claws are the power of Ability God?"

He never expected that a chance encounter on the way home would involve the terrifying Ability God.

Cheng Han calmed down and began to analyze: "In the scene in the illusory scene, there is light rain in the sky, which means that the ghost hand will appear on a rainy day.

"Judging from the actions of the black cat, most of them ran away in panic when they encountered something terrible inside the enclosure, but they couldn't get rid of the bad luck."

He couldn't sit still: "There is a textile factory inside the wall, I'm afraid something big will happen there."

The ghost claw can suck up the black cat in an instant, so it is not difficult to kill people, but the factory is a crowded place, if something happens, many people will definitely die.

Cheng Han used the all-seeing eye again: "Deduce when it will rain."

The result came out soon - three days later in the morning, there will be a light rain.

This also means that the disaster will happen in three days.

Cheng Han pondered for a long time before making a decision: "Although I am currently unable to prevent the disaster, I can always call the police.

"Let's do this, find detailed evidence first, and then try to notify the authorities.

"The black cat is the predicted victim, and its fate is closely related to the ghost hand. It is naturally the best related item, which can greatly increase the success rate and deduce more information.

"Tomorrow, I will ask for a day off first, try to catch the black cat back, and then use the omniscient eye to make further deduction."
