Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic

Chapter 1261: Chapter 713: A New Story

So in the following time, Su Yu sat in the laboratory, gulping down the viruses and vaccines, absorbing the Spiritual Energy inside, growing stronger and stronger.

Outside the laboratory, the mutations in the city gradually recovered, thanks to the spraying of the vaccine.

The nuclear strike did not happen either, it seemed this crisis had been averted by Su Yu.

But Su Yu did not let his guard down, because the unknown entity behind the scenes wielded the Power of Narrative, capable of rewriting the story at any time.

Sure enough, before Su Yu finished consuming the viruses and vaccines, he found himself in a different place.

As the scene before Su Yu’s eyes flickered, once it stabilized, he found himself back in his home, lying on his bed in his room.

"Is there a new story again?"

Evidently, the entity behind the scenes had rewritten the story again.

Although the entity couldn’t directly rewrite Su Yu, it could change the environment around Su Yu, causing him to be transported out of thin air.

The logic behind these environmental changes didn’t matter; after all, the other party possessed the Power of Narrative, making writing easy enough that they could concoct a passable reason, as long as it wasn’t a story without head or tail, devoid of logic, it could continue running.

A long time ago, Su Yu had mastered the power of "Paradox," capable of making wishes out of thin air.

That power seemed somewhat similar to the Power of Narrative, but with excessive limitations, each paradox came with a price, and only one wish could be made, with the power of the wish confined within the Primordial Universe.

Whereas the Power of Narrative was nearly omnipotent, freely modifiable as long as it did not trigger a logical collapse, it could be altered in any way desired.

If not for Su Yu’s special status, possessing the quality of "Audience Reader," he would have long been written off, sparing no hassle.

Knock, knock, knock!

The sound of knocking echoed once again.

Su Yu swept his thoughts, peering through the door panel to see outside.

Outside the door, there was no one, to be exact, no living person, only bloodstains everywhere and a corpse, lying quietly on the ground.

The corpse was that of a young woman, presumably Su Yu’s "wife" in the story, although it was Su Yu’s first time meeting her.

At the moment, blood trickled from her seven orifices as she lay on the ground, the cause of death unknown.

The doorway stood empty, the source of the knocking sound a mystery.

Knock, knock, knock!

The knocking sound echoed again, Su Yu’s expression tensed, sensing that if he didn’t open the door before the next knock, he would be in immediate peril.

After pondering for a moment, Su Yu opened the door before the next knock sounded.

Instantly, a chilly sensation hit him in the face, as if something had attached to him.

Simultaneously, Su Yu received a piece of information.

"Nine Deadly Knocks, the Knock Curse?"

Su Yu muttered.

According to the information, he was now possessed by the curse and had ten minutes to find a living person, knock on their door, and within nine knocks, if the other person opened the door, all would be fine.

If no one opened the door, then Su Yu would certainly die.

The person who opened the door would inherit the curse.

The corpse on the ground had died because she couldn’t knock on Su Yu’s door.

Though she died, the curse didn’t vanish but knocked on Su Yu’s door under some mechanism, attaching to Su Yu.

"Starting to play with mechanism kills, eh..."

Su Yu thought to himself, simultaneously sensing time ticking, and if he didn’t find someone to knock on their door, he’d surely die.

But Su Yu remained calm, carefully sensing the cold energy that had possessed him, clearly an Extraordinary Energy, not Spiritual Energy.

So Su Yu attempted to absorb this energy directly but failed, as it couldn’t be absorbed at all.

Or rather, the energy was too advanced, involving some underlying rules beyond Su Yu’s current capacity to absorb such high-grade power.

He then tried using Super-quality Conversion to transform it into Super Quality for absorption. Although he managed to absorb a bit, it was tremendously challenging and far from completing absorption within ten minutes.

Ignoring the ten-minute countdown, Su Yu continued to absorb. As the ten-minute limit approached, he casually snapped his fingers, causing the female corpse on the ground to rise up, then walk into Su Yu’s room.

Then Su Yu came to the door, knocked on it thrice—knock, knock, knock—and the door opened, with the female corpse standing before him.

Su Yu sensed the cold energy on him transferring onto the female corpse.

The ten-minute deadline was naturally refreshed, posing no immediate threat to Su Yu.

The original curse required a living person’s door to be opened for survival.

But Su Yu had regained some strength by absorbing the energy from virus samples.

This restored strength allowed him to write in the Book of Narrative.

Though the power was too weak, permitting only a one-word edit before exhaustion.

But one word sufficed.

Su Yu had just rewritten the story, changing the original need to find a living person to open the door, to just "person."

By changing just one word, it now only required finding a person, regardless of life or death.

So Su Yu directly controlled the corpse to fulfill the curse’s requirement.

After the corpse’s door was knocked open, Su Yu entered the room, then the corpse came outside the door to knock, transferring the curse’s energy back to Su Yu.

Thus, the time limit refreshed again, and Su Yu continued absorbing the curse energy.

As the ten-minute limit approached, he immediately controlled the corpse to transfer the curse again, refreshing the time limit.

Anyway, Su Yu just stayed in this room, waiting it out. The curse was already broken; if he ventured out, who knew what other curses this story had.

Seemingly realizing that the curse couldn’t affect Su Yu, once Su Yu absorbed part of the curse’s power, the surrounding environment changed again.

"Again?"

Su Yu looked around, finding himself no longer in his room, not just off the planet but seemingly inside a spacecraft.

On the alloy floor, bodies lay scattered, all with their skulls opened, brains missing, eyes unable to close in death.

"Missing brains? Eaten by a monster, or..."

As Su Yu pondered, his skull throbbed painfully, as if something was trying to break through his cranium.

He immediately understood—it was his brain, his brain appeared to have gained self-awareness, trying to escape this body! The bodies on the ground likely died this way.

"The brain leaving the body?"

With a single thought, Su Yu began writing in the Book of Narrative.

With the preceding curse, Su Yu’s power had recovered some more, permitting him to now write seventeen characters.

He needed to utilize these seventeen characters to achieve self-rescue.
