My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 12 Hunting the Terror Eaters

Arriving at the area where electric motorcycles were parked downstairs, Li Jiuhe rode his electric scooter out of the community gate.

He doesn't own a car, so he usually commutes to and from get off work and picks up Li Yi by electric scooter.

Because he was the only income earner in the family after his wife's death, he used the compensation money from his wife's death to pay off most of the mortgage, and now there is still a balance of nearly 200,000 yuan left to pay off.

In addition, Li Yi was still in kindergarten the year his wife passed away, and he was unable to pick her up on time every day, so he had to leave her in daycare.

Li Jiuhe's job as an interior designer is not as glamorous as it seems; he earns about seven thousand yuan a month.

However, the various living expenses are very high, which means that the family has never been able to save money and has only been spending money.

If it weren't for the compensation for his wife's death, the house where Li Jiuhe and his daughter lived would have been sold long ago.

The father and daughter may now be living frugally in a rented room in some remote corner.

After buying Li Yi a new phone, I only had four thousand yuan left in my account.

Now, with the arrival of that strange time traveler, his life has been completely disrupted, his daughter's fate is unknown, and he may have even less time to go to get off work on time in the future.

I've already taken several days off this month, and my income is significantly less than last month.

Thinking about all this, Li Jiuhe wondered whether he should try to make some money by using his task definition ability.

However, before that, let's define the search for those with a fear of food as a mission.

Soon the words appeared before my eyes.

[Task definition successful. The task is temporarily named "Hunting the Terror Eaters".]

【Title: Hunting the Fear Eater】

[Level: Grade I, Class B]

[Requirement: Locate and kill a predator within a three-kilometer radius of the hill behind the residential area.]

【奖励：1、任务总时长延伸到1小时10分（当前上限1小时）；2、奖励1次可携带重置之前任一物品的机会。】

[Note: 1. The total duration of the task you can currently define is 1 hour; 2. This cannibalistic individual belongs to the Level I Mysterious Sequence.]

After defining the task, Li Jiuhe glanced at the time with practiced ease.

From now on, he needs to find and kill the Terror Eaters within an hour, though he may not be able to complete the task.

Another advantage of this ability is that even if he fails to complete the task, he will not be punished by the task.

After all, he issued the task himself, and his abilities will only continue to grow; it's impossible for them to regress the more he uses them.

Of course, the dangers he encounters during the mission can also be considered a form of punishment.

The mission information revealed a new term: "mysterious sequence".

Li Jiuhe didn't expect that the Terror Eater would belong to the Level I Mysterious Sequence, so strictly speaking, this guy should be called a Sequencer User, rather than a Special Ability User as Li Yi said.

Task definers like myself also belong to the mysterious sequence.

He simply didn't know which level he belonged to.

Or your level is growth-oriented; it may not be high now, but it will become stronger as your abilities evolve.

It's clear that Li Yi wasn't being honest with herself about this, and she didn't know that her mission information would reveal information about the Sequencers.

This made Li Jiuhe believe that in the future, when he becomes more powerful, he will learn more secrets that Li Yi will not tell him.

Following the mission information, Li Jiuhe rode his electric scooter around a corner and began searching for the food-fearer who had hidden himself due to his injury, using the area behind the residential area as a radius.

Soon he passed a lottery shop that was open for business.

The thought popped into my head: should I define buying lottery tickets as a task?

This way, you can perfectly take advantage of the task reset to obtain a high lottery winning reward.

But then I realized that the lottery doesn't start immediately after sales close; you have to wait half an hour.

So even after resetting, it seems impossible to win, but the probability of winning by buying scratch-off tickets is actually higher.

However, this only applies if the scratch-off lottery tickets sold at that particular outlet happen to contain a winning ticket.

This is an option worth trying.

Just as Li Jiuhe was about to define a new task, he immediately received a notification.

You have a task in progress; you cannot define two tasks simultaneously at the moment.

Li Jiuhe knew that his abilities were still limited. It seemed that he would be able to define two tasks at the same time in the future, but not at the moment.

He glanced longingly at the lottery shop before continuing his search around.

The electric scooter was quite fast; it quickly circled the area within a three-kilometer radius, but found nothing.

This area covers a rather large area, including not only their own neighborhood and two other neighborhoods, but also a hill behind the village, a sports park, and about ten streets.

If that guy with a fear of food is hiding in some neighborhood, he wouldn't be found in an hour.

The mission ended quickly, and Li Jiuhe indeed gained nothing.

He continued with a new task, focusing on a neighborhood next to his own, and began searching inside and outside the neighborhood.

But another hour passed in the blink of an eye, and there were still no clues.

After leaving this neighborhood, they set their sights on the next one, and so on, until the task timer ended again, still without any results.

Li Jiuhe couldn't help but wonder if the food phobia sufferers had returned to their own residential area and gone into hiding.

For the next hour, after starting the mission, he searched around the stairwells, underground parking garage, and public restrooms of his own residential complex.

As darkness fell, the person with food phobia was still nowhere to be seen.

Back home, Li Yi indeed stayed home obediently and did not go out.

Actually, after almost being drowned by the fear-mongers last night, she was also a little scared. She knew that it was too dangerous for her small body to face the fear-mongers, and she still needed Li Jiuhe's help.

"It's okay, we'll look for it again tomorrow."

Li Yi smiled sweetly. She had already prepared a meal at home and was just waiting for Li Jiuhe to come back for dinner.

Li Jiuhe also noticed that the scope of the "hunting the terror predator" mission he defined was within a three-kilometer radius of the back mountain, which meant that the guy had not gone far.

Searching outside at night would be more dangerous, so this is the only option for now.

Nothing happened that night.

Li Jiuhe got up as soon as it was light the next day and immediately prepared to go out.

Li Yi also came out of the bedroom and asked him, "Dad, did you hear someone playing the flute last night?"

"Playing the flute? I didn't hear it." Li Jiuhe shook his head in surprise.

Li Yi simply said "Oh" and then fell silent.

Li Jiuhe said, "Wait for my news inside. There's plenty of time today; we should be able to find clues about the cannibalistic individuals."

"Okay, be careful!" Li Yi nodded.

Li Jiuhe quickly rode his electric scooter away from the residential area and then began his mission.

He was startled when he saw the mission information.

Because the text in the task requirements section has been changed.

[Requirement: Locate and stop the cannibalistic animal in the sports park, and kill it.]

Unexpectedly, the mission information was so clear this time, stating directly that the Fear Eater was currently in the nearby sports park and seemed to be devouring the fear of others.
