C6 Badge

"What are you looking for?" Lin Bahn stuck his head out of the bed and looked curiously at Zhang Liang, who was rummaging through the cabinets.

Zhang Liang replied without looking up, "I don't know either."

"What?"

Zhang Liang raised his head in annoyance. He scratched his hair and asked, what? "By the way, do you remember? Did I buy any random things?"

Lin Bahn pointed to the bookshelf next to him expressionlessly. "Does that pile of game magazines count?"

“...”

"I'm serious. You haven't flipped through the bag yet. Maybe something is missing from it." Lin Bahn yawned and pulled his head back. Then, Zhang Liang heard the sound of the stone furnace being activated.

Zhang Liang stood up and went to his bookshelf. He took out the bag that contained the magazine he had bought earlier.

He still remembered the day he went to buy the magazine.

Due to his personal interests and habits, he had been subscribing these computer game magazines that were relatively unpopular. Every now and then, Zhang Liang would go to a shop near the university town to get these magazines. He would also take the opportunity to stroll around the area.

The last time he went there was more than a month ago. Logically speaking, it should have been more than a month ago. Now, Zhang Liang only needed to go to that shop to get another batch of magazines. However, at the moment, he really could not afford to do this.

Back at the table, Zhang Liang took out the brand new magazines and stacked them on the table in order.

Before Zhang Liang could examine them carefully, he heard a furious roar from the upper bunk. "I choose death!"

Lin Bahn stuck his head out with a face full of regret. He shook his phone and said, "I can't continue playing. This XX game relies on luck." Then, he pointed at the bag containing the magazine. "There seems to be something else inside, right? I remember that the boss gave you something back, right? "

Zhang Liang frowned. He had an impression of what Lin Bahn said. It looked like a necklace wrapped in a small plastic bag. It looked like an official gaming partner.

Very quickly, Zhang Liang took out a metal pendant wrapped in a plastic bag from the corner of the bag.

The pendant looked like it was made of a rusty metal piece, half the length of a finger. There was a serrated sawtooth on it, which seemed to be covered with a layer of soil. It was very blurry after being separated by a sealed bag.

"There really is..." Zhang Liang muttered to himself. He thought of what Zhao Soongya had said to him after dinner.

Zhang Liang remembered that Zhao Soongya had clearly mentioned the word "pendant."

He walked to the cabinet at the side and took out a pair of gloves. He then tore open the plastic bag with the pendant and carefully held it in his hand.

"What the hell? What's the smell?!" Lin Bahn looked at Zhang Liang and cried out as if he had been shocked by electricity. His face instantly turned ashen, and he looked like he was about to spit it out.

Lin Bahn was dumbfounded. He sniffed, but other than the faint smell of rust, he could not smell anything else.

He immediately threw down the pendant and opened the windows and doors. He then took two deep breaths outside the room before covering his nose and returning to the room.

Zhang Liang looked like he was about to die. Lin Bahn poked his nose with suspicion and took a deep breath.

"Are you kidding me?" He looked at Zhang Liang's face with amusement. "Or am I deaf?"

Zhang Liang ignored him. He just stood there, trying to get used to the smell in the room. After half a minute, he put his hand down.

Lin Bahn saw that Zhang Liang's face was not good, so he stopped joking. He climbed down from the bed and sniffed the air in the room again. Then he shook his head at Zhang Liang, who was looking at him.

"It only has a little rusty smell, and it's very light. What did you smell? "

Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows. "A very strange smell."

He waved his hand, indicating that it was fine. Then, he went back to the table and continued fiddling with the pendant.

He took out an abandoned brush from the brush holder beside him and began to carefully clean the layer of adhesion on the pendant.

"No... Bang, bring me my mask." Who would have thought that just as he did that, the terrible smell suddenly became stronger and almost knocked Zhang Liang out.

It was not easy for him to put on the face mask, but the smell in his nose had finally dropped to a level that he could accept.

The work continued. The "dust" that Zhang Liang swept down was all in an empty box in the tribe. He subconsciously collected them.

As the process progressed, the complete picture of the pendant was soon revealed.

It was a blade shaped pendant. On one side, there were rows of sawteeth, sharp and neat, and on the other side, there was a sharp and neat sawtooth. There were some unexplainable patterns on the chakram.

At the end of the pendant, there was a metal ring, which was connected to a half-rotten rope.

Seeing that there were no more stains on the pendant, Zhang Liang sealed the box containing a large amount of black powder. For a moment, the strong and strange smell became much smaller.

"Hu!"

Zhang Liang let out a long breath and then began to seriously look at the pendant in his hand.

However, when he truly calmed down and observed it, a strange sense of familiarity hit him.

It was not the "familiarity" from his visual perspective, but the familiarity of the objects he spent time with. Zhang Liang found that he could draw the shape of the entire pendant in his mind, including the unknown patterns on it.

Zhang Liang turned on the laptop and skillfully pulled out the document that recorded his Dreamland.

In front of the "Hunter" subsection. There was another major subsection that recorded all the things that Zhang Liang had encountered in the Nightmare Realm. The items that he thought were worth paying attention to... There were also many supplementary drawings that were relatively simple and crude, and could only be used as a signal.

The first record under this point was' Blood Vial Needle '.

"The key items used to carry out the Blood Healing are usually filled with some very special blood... It seems like it can be used to treat the illness and pain, and even break hands and legs?"

Zhang Liang placed a drawing of his own on the side. This Blood Vial Needle looked like a long test tube, but one end was installed with a tiny needle. The other end was a piston used for injections.

Zhang Liang quickly turned back to look, but soon he found his target.

Just like what he had in his hand, there was an illustration on the right side of the document. It depicted a blade with sawteeth. There were messy patterns on it, but there was no reference when he drew this picture. So these patterns were really drawn randomly by Zhang Liang, but it was enough to match the pendant in his hand.

"Saw Cleaver Badge: The symbolic badge of hunter workshop. It seems to be given to honor the hunters' heroic hunting behavior. It should be something that most hunters wear."

There were also records below:

"hunter workshop: It seems to be a special group that serves the hunters, or a place similar to a workshop?"

"However, from the previous Dreamland, hunter workshop must have experienced a few changes. Moreover, there are huge differences between the different groups of the hunters. Not only is it targeted at the organizations that serve the hunters, but it is also targeted at the hunting style and actions of the hunters."

Seeing this, Zhang Liang finally had an impression of the strange smell from before. He remembered that this smell was clearly the smell of the blood that flowed out from the corpses of those seriously injured TransFur Disease patients!

Furthermore, it was the kind of beast blood that had already fallen ill to a certain extent.

"In other words, those so-called filth... are actually all frozen beast blood? "Zhang Liang only felt a little stuffy in his chest. He had never felt that the scenes and things that he had dreamt of would be so terrifying and real.

" A prank? "

He first proposed an assumption that he would never believe.

Zhang Liang took out his phone and took a few pictures of the Saw Cleaver badge. He put them all into the document, and then spent another ten minutes recording the dream he had before he went to the gathering.

Although he was unwilling to admit it from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Liang knew that he had to make some preparations.

The frequency of nightmares was increasing. He didn't even know when he would be trapped forever. And if the Saw Cleaver badge he obtained right now wasn't some sort of prank product, then this meant that everything in his dream might actually exist. Including the TransFur and Blood Healing, which were medical techniques that he could not understand.

"Nine o'clock... there's still time!"

He looked at the time on the computer and decided to make a trip out.

The boss who gave him the Saw Cleaver badge ran a bookstore in the university town. Usually, the store would close at ten o'clock, and it would only take twenty minutes at most from the dormitory.

"Let's make a call first." Zhang Liang hesitated for two seconds, then dialed the landline number of the bookstore. Zhang Liang clearly remembered that the boss said: It was a small toy that was used to buy antiques. It was not worth much, so he gave it to his old customer.

There was no response. Zhang Liang hung up the call amidst the continuous "busy calls."

"Bang, I'm going out for a while." Zhang Liang said to the upper bunk, "Something doesn't feel right. Have you seen the owner of the bookstore recently?"

"Which one?"

"The shop where you bought the answers for the exam."

"I didn't see him. I don't think I saw him last weekend." Lin Bahn was surprised. "Why? Are you going to find him?"

Zhang Liang frowned. "Yes." He said, "There's something wrong with the thing he gave me. It appeared in my dream. I even made a record at that time. It was exactly the same."

"I have to go and find out, I'll be back in 40 minutes" After saying that, Zhang Liang walked out.

However, before he could step out of the dormitory, he heard a muffled sound behind him. It was Lin Bahn jumping off the bed.

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you." Lin Bahn said as he put on his shoes, "With your small body, you won't be able to resist extortion. Let's go!"
