Chapter 2 Tentacles
  This sudden electronic sound stunned Yu Qian for several seconds.

This guy... is a candidate?

That so-called Cultivation Examination candidate?

——Get the other person’s heart and let them solve the problem for you.

She remembered this passage again.

So this is okay?
  "So I'm considered a superpower now?" She glanced at the body lying on the ground and murmured, "Then I don't have to deliver goods. People with superpowers can go uptown. I heard the salary is six figures. .”

Is this really pie in the sky?
  Compared with the ancient word "cultivation", Yu Qian knew more about the "superpowers" that had appeared in major forums over the years and were speculated about.

In the Federation, although it is not made public, there are always some "informed people" who reveal information about "people with special abilities".

Yu Qian became curious - could those so-called superpowers be cultivators?
  She quickly opened her bracelet, turned to the news section, and searched around on the translucent light screen in front of her.

"Why is it gone?" She frowned.

The news about the recovery of spiritual energy and cultivators disappeared, which made her experience a strong sense of unreality.

"Would you like to try it?" She held the gun, thought about it, put it back in her pocket and replaced it with a short knife, and cut her palm, and blood immediately poured out.

She touched the wound, and a faint white light lit up on her fingertips, as if something in her body was resonating with certain elements of the world, and then the wound stopped bleeding and scabbed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yu Qian glanced at the dark wastewater plant, which was like a giant mouth of an abyss. The smell of blood inside was even stronger. It looked like many people had died. That cultivation test seemed a bit evil.

She carried the goods and walked inside, her curiosity overcoming her instinct to avoid danger.

silence.

The only sound in my ears was the sound of her very light footsteps.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Yu Qian seemed to smell a strange smell in the blood, like the fishy smell of sea fish.

After walking for a while, something suddenly hit her foot. She looked down and saw that it was a hand.

There was a man lying under the water pipe, with only one hand stretched out. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

The water pipes here were winding and winding. Yu Qian bent down and looked inside, and met a blood-red eye without warning.

She couldn't believe her eyes. The picture in front of her had a huge impact on her——

A thick tentacle wrapped around a corpse, the suction cup was tightly attached to the corpse, and the parts of the corpse touched by the suction cup were melting, and the corpse turned into nourishment. This was a feeding.

The most horrifying thing was that a red eye as big as a human head opened on the tentacle.

The moment they looked at each other, her head suddenly started to hurt, her temples jumped suddenly, and she felt a wave of nausea, as if her brain was trapped by a titanium alloy door.

There was a strange sound in the ears, as if it came from ancient times. It was hollow, vague, and echoed, making people's consciousness instantly confused.

Yu Qian couldn't help but retched, and his head throbbed.

The blood-red eye stared at her coldly, making her feel dizzy.

She took a few steps back, turned around and ran away.

She ran very fast, staggering like a drunkard, and almost hit the water pipe several times.

"Oh shit!"

I thought it was a pie falling from the sky, but when I opened my mouth to catch it and took a bite, I realized it was stuffed with dog feces.

It’s so evil.

what is that?
  A man-eating octopus?

Although she only saw one tentacle and a blood-red eye in the darkness, she was certain that it must have a larger body deeper in the darkness.

The thing didn't catch up, which made Yu Qian sigh in relief. Her physical strength was really average.

She hurried to the exit.

"Da da da da..."

A series of footsteps came from the other direction, and a figure ran over on hands and feet. "Help...help!"

He was a man, he looked very young, and he was wearing a simple T-shirt and trousers.

However, before he could move over, he suddenly stopped in place, his face full of panic, and he looked behind Yu Qian, his legs couldn't stop shaking, his eyes became distracted, and his whole person showed a state of dementia. .

Touching the other person's eyes, Yu Qian immediately felt a chill down her back. She lowered her head and saw that her shadow was completely covered, and the shadow of a tentacle was waving.

A huge shadow loomed over her.

She didn't even look back and ran away: "Run, are you just standing there waiting to die?"

The man seemed to be awakened by her voice. He shuddered and his legs went weak, almost falling, and he ran wildly to keep up with Yu Qian's footsteps.

The only sound left in my ears was the whistling of the wind.

"Click! Click! Click!"

There were several loud noises in succession, and the water pipe passing by suddenly broke, and wastewater spurted out instantly, followed by thinner tentacles.

"Ah——" Seeing this scene, the man screamed like a frightened groundhog.

Countless water pipes burst open, and countless tentacles stretched out from the gaps, some thick and some thin, as if they belonged to different subjects, waving in the night, like a scary scene in an old movie.

"Shh!"

Yu Qian's feet suddenly slipped, and resistance came from her ankles. A slippery tentacle wrapped around her ankles at some point, and she fell to the ground.

Countless tentacles swarmed behind him.

"so much!"

Yu Qian immediately pulled out his short knife and cut off the tentacles wrapped around his ankles, and blue liquid burst out.

She immediately got up and ran forward before the other tentacles caught up.

The sound of bursting water pipes was endless, and after each sound, more tentacles emerged from a gap in the water pipe.

She glanced sideways: "Is this really a wastewater plant and not some kind of monster breeding base?"

What kind of octopus can grow so many legs?
  "Front...front!" The man suddenly stopped.

Tentacles were also drilled out of the burst water pipe in front, and they stretched out from all directions.

Yu Qian took a breath of air. His only thought at the moment was that he was glad that these thin tentacles didn't have eyes.

The scene where she met the red eyeballs before has almost become a psychological shadow for her. She doesn't want to experience that disgusting feeling again in her life.

The man was about to cry: "What should I do?"

Yu Qian also stopped, they were surrounded.

She turned around suddenly and ran towards the observation deck not far to the right.

This observation tower is more than 100 meters high, with only one ladder going straight up and down.

Hopefully these tentacles aren't a hundred meters long.

The man quickly climbed up behind her.

Climbing to the top in one breath, Yu Qian stood at the top of the observation deck and stuck his head out to look down. His scalp suddenly went numb——

There were countless gaps in the overlapping water pipes below, and the densely stretched out tentacles seemed to sense that she was above, and they all waved upward. At first glance, it looked like a bare forest.

The man who was running for his life with her also stuck his head out and took a look: "Damn it! They are coming up!"

"What thing has such long tentacles?" Yu Qian couldn't believe it either.

She stared at the tentacles climbing up the observation tower below. They came out of the pipes. Who knows if they were as long as the winding pipes here.

In just a few seconds, dozens of slender tentacles have climbed to a height of more than ten meters, and it will not take long to climb to the top.
