"An Qingyu... why is it you?" Lin Qiye frowned when he saw the familiar face.
When they just fought, he used his mental perception to see that face. To be honest, the result really surprised him.
In his memory, after the incident with the Nanda snake demon, the genius An Qingyu should have forgotten all memories related to the "mystery" and returned to normal campus life.
How did he avoid having his memory erased, and how did he gradually become a ghost in Cangnan City
An Qingyu smiled and asked, "Are you surprised?"
He turned around and walked towards the depths of the sewer. "Come with me. You are the first guest here in more than a year."
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, waved his hand to disperse Mumu, and followed.
"What happened after the Nanda snake demon incident?" Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask.
An Qingyu sighed, a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and he spoke calmly, "That day, after you left, I secretly hid in the sewer holding the head of the Nanda snake demon, and then..."
An Qingyu briefly told Lin Qiye how he awakened, how he avoided the night watchmen's searches, and how he hid in the sewer system to build his own underground laboratory.
"Your Forbidden Ruins can copy the power of 'mystery'?" Lin Qiye asked in surprise after hearing this
"It's different." An Qingyu shook his head. "The essence of my Forbidden Ruins is 'analysis'. Through a lot of dissection and experiments, I analyze the principle of the existence of a certain 'mysterious' characteristic, such as the snake species of the Nanda snake demon, the regeneration of lizards, the fighting instinct and mental attack of the killer ghost, and the freezing power of the frost vines...
It is fundamentally different from traditional replication. It takes a lot of time from obtaining a corpse to analyzing a certain ability. The more special the ability, the longer it takes. But the advantage is that after I fully understand the principles of their operation, I can improve and enhance them myself.
In addition to the anatomical "mystery", this ability can also be used to "analyze" other things. For example, the structure of a precision instrument, I only need to take a look, and I can use it skillfully. I can also clearly perceive the structural state of the human body, and so on. "
After saying that, An Qingyu turned to look at Lin Qiye, a hint of gray appearing in his eyes.
"For example, you... your current physical condition is simply a miracle compared to normal humans, but you are also shrouded in a strange power that I cannot explain yet."
Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Now he is still under the bonus of [Starry Night Dancer]. Of course, An Qingyu cannot analyze the power of the Goddess of Night with his current strength.
"So, have you ever tried to understand what your forbidden ruins are?" Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask.
A forbidden ruin like this, which can analyze everything and even achieve the effect of copying, is definitely at the super-high-risk level in the forbidden ruins sequence and should be considered very famous.
"I have learned about it, but... there doesn't seem to be any Forbidden Ruins of mine in the existing Forbidden Ruins sequence. The only similar one is the [Eye of True Vision] in Sequence 315, but it is only similar and has completely different functions."
Lin Qiye was stunned. "In other words, this is a brand new forbidden place that has never appeared before?"
"That should be it." An Qingyu nodded, "My Forbidden Ruins is not in the Forbidden Ruins sequence, and no one has ever owned it before. I named it... [The Only Correct Answer]!"
"… Why is this name so strange?"
"This is a science and engineering man, pursuing the truth."
"Okay." Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was finally not the one with the worst name.
"What about the rats?"
"I'm in control." An Qingyu nodded. "I analyzed the ability of the snake from the Nanda snake demon, which is similar to the ability of the 'snake species'. However, this ability is very complicated, and the analysis has not been completed yet. At first, it could only be used on mice, but now it can be applied to all non-human creatures. However, considering that mice have the highest concealment, I did not develop other species.
I named this ability 'Fish Fingerling'."
"… What a good name." Lin Qiye's mouth twitched slightly.
As they were talking, the two of them had already walked into an underground cave. Seeing the specimens, instruments, and lab tables filling the entire space, Lin Qiye's eyes showed shock.
"You built a large laboratory here?"
"Yes, all the equipment was eliminated by hospitals and laboratories on the surface, but their structures are not complicated. I modified them a little bit and they can still be used. They are even more effective than the most advanced equipment."
Speaking of experiments, excitement gleamed in An Qingyu's eyes again.
Lin Qiye walked to the four formalin specimens, looked at the "mysterious" bodies immersed in them, and spoke slowly:
"Are these... the bodies you stole?"
"First of all, I don't agree with you using the word 'steal'. Perhaps it should be 'borrow'. This is just a necessary means for me to get closer to the truth." An Qingyu said very seriously.
"Secondly, only three of them were 'borrowed'. The last killer was a trophy I killed myself. At the beginning, I had no fighting ability except for the 'fish', so I could only 'borrow' the lizard's body, but I at least left half of the body for the Night Watch.
After obtaining 'Super-Speed Regeneration', my survivability was only improved, but I still did not have the ability to attack, so I could only 'borrow' the corpse of the frost vine in the same way. After obtaining the ability to freeze, I finally had the real combat power.
Then, I took action myself and killed the murderer.
In a sense, I risked my life for the Night's Watch, and then gave the credit and reward to them, leaving only half a 'mysterious' corpse behind.
This is a true win-win situation."
Lin Qiye looked at him deeply and sighed.
"Although what you said does make sense, you should know that any civilian superpower who does not belong to the Night Watch group has the risk of disrupting social stability, and the Night Watch will not let you continue your activities.
Once you are caught, you will only have two choices: be forced into the Night Watch or be locked up in a prison."
An Qingyu pushed up his glasses, looked seriously into Lin Qiye's eyes, and spoke slowly:
"Now that you've caught me... you want to turn me in even though you know I'm not a threat to society, right?"
Lin Qiye was startled, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I just don't understand, you obviously have such a unique Forbidden Ruins, why don't you want to join the Night's Watch?"
