Chapter 941 -1: Full of Doubts
Jason chose [Seafood Puff Pastry].
According to previous experiences, the fullness required to enter the duplicate world generally determines the difficulty, benefits, and so on of the duplicate.
The benefits require personal exploration, with various variables.
But the overall initial difficulty is certain.
Thus, Jason chose the side dish that required the lowest fullness after changes among [Seafood Puff Pastry], [Cheese Ham], and [Tomato Cheese Chicken Chop].
As for trying out the one that required the highest fullness consumption?
Under such wariness, he couldn’t possibly take risks.
Especially when there are options.
Life in Nightless City had already made Jason as steady as an old dog.
And then, surviving while holding out!
Next, seeking victory while living!
Staying alive is the top priority.
Only by staying alive can you seek other things.
[The side dish, it’s the prelude to the main course.]
[But now it has changed!]
[It retains everything originally.]
[Yet it is different.]
[Reminder: Be cautious of seafood allergies]
Following the usual text, a checkmark appeared after [Seafood Puff Pastry].
Then, comes the annotation—
[Background:; Remote suburb, empty streets, abandoned hospital, school, desolate temple, everywhere with lingering footsteps, everywhere with whispers—As a locally known Exorcist, you engage with all these, under the gaze of common people who are either astonished, fearful, or perplexed, completing exorcism after exorcism…]
[Main Mission: Complete 33 exorcisms (0/33)]
[Gain temporary language, disappears automatically when leaving the duplicate]
[Clothes, appearance, equipment temporarily change, automatically recover when leaving the duplicate]
[Detection of no gunpowder weapons]
(Prompt: Please enjoy your appetizer—Seafood Puff Pastry!)
Jason, looking at the background introduction, unconsciously conjured up some images in his mind.
There are the two brothers hunting demons together, known as the Deadly Duo.
There are also husband and wife performing exorcisms together, in a relatively scientific manner.
And there is charging into battle alone, known as the Pile Driver.
Thinking this, Jason’s saliva began to unconsciously secrete.
His thoughts cleared gradually, leaving only one idea—
He was a little hungry.
Amid the growling of his stomach, the scene before Jason shifted.
When everything halted, he found himself in a ‘low’ room.
The room wasn’t truly low, just somewhat so for Jason who was over 2 meters tall, almost like he could touch the cement ceiling by lifting his hand and standing on his toes.
The cement was smoothed out well, a hanging light with a round, white shade hung down, meaning Jason had to tilt his head to pass it unobstructed.
The furniture in the room was even simpler, a black two-seater sofa, a glass coffee table, on the table was a tea set with four cups and a pitcher; beside the sofa was a 1-meter hallway.
At the end of the hallway, there were a coat rack, shoe cabinet, and a door.
Directly opposite the shoe cabinet was a washroom.
Jason turned his head, behind him was a desk, chair, and behind the chair was… a cot.
All four windows were wide open, facing the desk, sofa, and coffee table.
The afternoon sun blazed in, with the cicadas’ chirping intensifying the glare of the sunlight.
This was all that Jason could see.
The simple decor and sunlight were all to Jason’s liking.
He walked around to the back of the desk, sat straight down, and began searching throughout the desk.
This was the only place in the room that appeared to contain things.
The desk was large and spacious, could even be used as a bed, on it there was a desk lamp and two notebooks, three pens, with the notebooks having no records, all blank pages, and the pens were black, blue, and red one of each.
The desk had drawers on both sides.
Left from top to bottom, five drawers.
On the right, there was one drawer, the rest of the space was a cabinet door, which when opened, revealed his mask and Broad Blade Cleaver.
He touched the mask and blade with his hand, and the corner of Jason’s mouth twitched up.
Having familiar items in an unfamiliar environment, it really relaxed his mood.
Then, he started checking the drawers.
The five drawers on the left yielded nothing.
In the right drawer, he found a wallet and keys, inside the wallet was an ID card.
"Are ID photos always this ugly?”
Looking at the fierce, goosebump-inducing picture on the ID card, Jason frowned.
He was merely rugged looking, why was the picture so frightening.
Inside the wallet were three 100 RMB, two 50 RMB notes, and some change totaling to 31, adding up to 431 RMB.
There was only one key, evidently for here.
The information before his eyes was even less than expected.
At once, he stood up to search the entire room again.
Quickly, Jason made a discovery.
Under the double sofa, Jason found a box.
A matte material, square, fitting snugly under the sofa, leaving no doubt that much care had gone into choosing the box, the perfect size so even sitting on the sofa one wouldn’t feel uncomfortable, if Jason hadn’t lifted the sofa to check, it would have been impossible to spot.
He took the box out, it had a combination lock.
Jason listened close to confirm there were no mechanisms inside, then sniffed it, also not detecting any pungent smells like gunpowder or the scent of ‘food’, and opened the box straightforwardly.
