Yin Ren was wandering outside, and Zhong Cheng asked to consult Qi Xin, a psychiatrist. Naturally, the other people in the white room would not keep quiet.
After practicing in this room for several hours, everyone was able to subconsciously imagine its existence, and then had enough time to move around freely - Fu Tianyi hugged Dr. Cat, and everyone else gathered around him.
When the environment is stressful, having a soft cat in your arms is also a way to relax. Considering that this cat was our colleague and the most highly educated creature present, everyone could only watch helplessly and did not dare to take action.
"Why did you come in?" Lu Xiaohe came closer and looked at his colleague's furry tail.
"It's an emergency, and you're all going to come in when it's approved."
Qi Xin's lingering power is still there, and it's rare for a black cat not to have any yin and yang aura.
"While Qi Xin was holding the entrance, I jumped in by myself."
"Emergency?"
As a teammate, Fu Tianyi touched two handfuls of warm cat hair. Normally, Dr. Cat would have swung it away with his paw, but now he has his ears flat and behaves calmly.
"The situation has been unstable recently. The leaders of Yandu and Linan have not left. I am staying at the city hospital..."
"Yes, that's why the primitive creatures hate Charon." Dr. Cat licked his paws, "Next, only the 'Infinite' branch to which I belong will be left."
It's a pity that it doesn't have any fighting power at all.
"Using the network analogy mentioned by Zhong Cheng, if the biological brain is an independent device - a branch of 'ghost eye' with mutated observation ability, it is a bit like the Apple system installed with Windows and Android emulator, allowing it to receive and process things that it cannot handle originally. information."
"Let me have a bite." Zhong Cheng said, staring at Qi Xin like a man who has been hungry for three days staring at a bowl of steaming milk porridge. There is no intimacy in it, just "I have to eat."
"This is the most common type of pollution caused by the evil force - you have obtained the most external perception ability of the 'original object', although it is just various incomplete leftovers."
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Being infiltrated by the power of evil and gaining special abilities sounds like a logical thing. Except for those in scientific positions who are not busy at work, no one will think about this kind of problem.
However, when he heard the conversation between the two, he wished he had choked to death just now -
No wonder. During previous competitions, this cat could convey thoughts and comfort everyone. Now that it has never seen a white room, it can still be here... I'm sorry that this cat uses their brains as a mining machine, constantly mining IQ coins. [*Note]
"Thank you for your little knowledge." Huang Jin pressed his temples, not sure whether his IQ would be lowered as a result. "So you took such a big detour. What does this have to do with the 'emergency' you mentioned?"
"Hmm." Speaking of Qi Xin, Dr. Cat's ears were pressed against his head again.
The "Infinite" branch, whose information processing capabilities have increased dramatically, and the "Charon" branch, which can travel to and from the other side, are extremely rare in number, but they are also in the pollution ability category.
"The principle is very simple." Dr. Cat's pupils became slits and his tail flicked. "The physical structure of my brain has not changed, but I can call other devices through the network on the other side—that is, call the human brain."
"Do you know what the nature of the ability polluted by the evil force is?"
"I know that people from the Wuliang branch have particularly strong computing power and will have a huge leap in intelligence." Fu Tianyi answered quickly.
By the end of the story, its cat smell became stronger again, and I think I felt a little refreshed.
Huang Jin moved his body slowly, trying to slowly leave the center of the storm. As a result, before he could get very far, Zhong Cheng grabbed him by the collar of his back shirt and said, "I'll see you later if I have anything to do."
Why was he so blinded by money that he didn't resolutely change the group
"I only want enough for six arms." Zhong Cheng said, turning back and continuing to bargain with Qi Xin, "And when I get what I want, I will return some to you."
"I've been thinking about things related to Yuanwu recently. Thanks to this guy Fu Tianyi, I also got higher browsing permissions."
"This is different from the physical diseases and evil pollution I have seen before. It makes me very uncomfortable. In order to investigate the situation, I can only come in person - I can't leave it to you people who have no infinite ability to investigate. How can you see What a fart!”
Hold.
"When I was connecting recently, I found that many people had problems with their brains." Cat's voice became serious. "The reason is unknown, but they will all see an arm that only they can see."
Huang Jin almost stopped breathing, let alone his thoughts. His "What are you doing!" was stuck in his throat, and he almost choked to death.
Not only is this scientist not busy, he is not even human.
The black cat purred to explain.
"Charon is the most special - elemental objects cannot move directly in this world, just like fish cannot walk on the road. But what if animals living on the land unexpectedly have the ability to breathe in the water?"
In the next second, Zhong Chengshuo and Qi Xin flashed in front of him at the same time, almost trampling on him.
After suddenly returning to "normal vision", Huang Jin is still not used to seeing people's faces. But he could hear the vague fear in the woman's tone. It seems that even if Zhong Cheng loses power, the fear he once had still remains.
"During this process, I can retrieve or write simple information to the associated device."
The inpatient department of the hospital is relatively clean and the garden is nice. When Dr. Cat wants to think quietly, he always walks around the neighborhood.
Huang Jin was stunned.
With no cat to pet, Huang Jin squatted in the corner with no interest, and looked at Ding Lizi's photo again.
"What about 'Wuliang' and 'Charon'?" Lu Xiaohe keenly sensed the lack.
Ms. Qi's face was uglier than the bottom of the pot. If she hadn't been wearing a bun, her hair would have stood on end: "How dare you!"
"That's what I say, you'd better not run around." Fu Tianyi patiently hugged his teammate, "That Qi Xin doesn't seem to have a good temper and will never care about your life or death. If you want to investigate, let us assist you. ”
"You look for your people, and I'll look into my affairs. Just don't interfere with each other." It emphasized forcefully.
"He won't like it." Zhong Cheng said silently for a few seconds, "And I'm not sure of the effect. This is just an attempt - now we are all on the other side and need your protection, and we will not be disadvantageous to you."
Ge Tingting couldn't help but nodded. She, Huang Jin and Liang Shan were all of this type. Those with the "Ghost Eye" ability are the most numerous. They can at least gain strong spiritual vision, or at worst perceive messages that should not belong to this world.
Huang Jin instantly slumped in the corner, too lazy to struggle. The King of Hell could not afford to offend him, and with fear and the power of the King of Hell doubled, he did not dare to disobey.
"...the abilities are still the same, but the adaptability of these animals surpasses fish." Lu Xiaohe suddenly realized.
"Why don't you find Yin Ren?!"
He didn't bother to think about the nature of his abilities or operational problems. Ding Lizi is protected by the great elemental creature Yin Ren, so she will be fine. If he can go back safely this time, he will definitely...
"The 'resonance' branch that affects other people's emotions and the 'obfuscation' branch that distorts cognition are the basic abilities of Yuanwu. It is said that the living thing is contaminated to produce superpowers. In essence, the living thing just absorbs the minced flesh of Yuanwu. It’s still a degraded version after absorbing Yuan Wu’s own abilities.”
Qi Xin stared at him warily, and Zhong Cheng said he looked at her calmly.
"… Fine."
She forced out a sentence through her teeth.
"Just this once."
Huang Jin didn't want to hear any of the secret gossip between Da Yuanwu. Just as he was about to cover his ears, the scene in front of him completely turned into a whirlpool. The unique information overload on the other side struck again, and Huang Jin's brain was buzzing.
But before he could imagine the white room, the scene stabilized again—
It was a dark, windowless basement, with countless metal cans twinkling on two rows of shelves. Various specimens are hidden deep in the shelves, with empty eye sockets peering in all directions. The torture chair converted from an armchair was parked in the corner, with the restraints hanging down like tears.
At first glance, it doesn’t look like a serious place.
In this small basement, there were only three living creatures, Zhong Chengshuo, Qi Xin and Huang Jin.
"This... this is..." Huang Jin tried hard to keep his voice from shaking so much.
He doesn't know this ghost place at all! Is this also the ability of Yuan Wu
"Just use it as a private room." Qi Xin said without interest, "Hey, can we start?"
Zhong Cheng walked silently to the table in the middle of the room. He pulled out the evil fruit, and the flowing red light almost blinded Huang Jin's eyes. It's a pity that this spiritual craftsman has experienced great storms. Even if Zhong Cheng said he took out Fu Xingchuan from his pocket, he wouldn't be surprised.
Well, the legendary evil consequences, and then what
Then Comrade Zhong Cheng said that he firmly grasped the legendary spiritual weapon and stabbed himself in the left shoulder.
Huang Jin: "???!!!"
He leaned back and almost fell to the ground.
Zhong Cheng frowned slightly. He looked like the most skilled butcher and removed the entire arm along the joints in two seconds. When the white and strong arm was put on the table, the blood started to seep out.
"Qi Xin." Zhong Cheng said.
Qi Xin's face was sullen, the corners of his mouth turned downward. She hesitated for a long time before she poked out a gray-black limb shrouded in mist out of thin air. She gestured for a while, then twisted it off and then whipped it into meat sauce. The balls of meat sauce were manipulated by her, suspended in the air, and then floated near Zhong Chengshuo's shoulder wound.
Like a sponge absorbing water, they were absorbed completely by the wound in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, a stubby baby arm protruded from the wound. It expanded up and down unnaturally, and soon stretched into an adult arm. And not long after it grew, Zhong Cheng said it was removed again with evil consequences, and the board was placed next to the previous arm.
This cycle repeats six times.
Looking at the six neat left arms on the table, Huang Jin stopped thinking.
Qi Xin cut the body and thoughtfully used his own meat pieces to make food for the elderly. He didn't want to think about it in the first place. Zhong Cheng said that this style of eating and growing quickly made it difficult for him to accept it for a while.
The seventh arm has grown, and Zhong Cheng said he moved his shoulders for a while. He looked up and down at the six arms on the table, and the evil results rolled around on his fingertips a few times: "Huang Jin."
"Arrived." Huang Jin replied drowsily.
"Spirit craftsmen know how to maintain limb mobility." Zhong Cheng said firmly, "I would like to ask you to help prepare for the spell."
Huang Jin tried hard to change his rusty thinking.
They do know that kind of magic, it is one of the basic skills of a spiritual craftsman. Only by maintaining the activity of biological materials can we make high-quality spiritual weapons. But…
"But I am a serious spiritual craftsman." Huang Jin said tremblingly, "I am still... still a little bit... when it comes to using human torsos as spiritual weapons."
"Not for direct use."
Zhong Cheng lowered his eyes and saw the light of his sword flashing.
His movements were very neat, and within a moment, the bones of the arm were smoothly picked out. Huang Jin's brain hadn't finished reacting yet, and there were only a few piles of white bones left on the table. Zhong Cheng said that all the bones were roughly divided according to size and category. The human bones are neatly arranged together, looking a bit like assembled parts. The removed skin and flesh were piled aside bloody, and the structure of human fingers and wrists were clearly visible. Even Huang Jin, who had seen strong winds and waves, felt his scalp numb.
Zhong Cheng said that this guy is indeed not a human being.
Just as Huang Jin resisted retching, Zhong Cheng packed the fresh flesh and blood into bags and gave them to Qi Xin. Qi Xin had never seen return food from Fear's mouth. She took the bag and held it firmly in her hands.
"Animal bones are a common material."
Zhong Cheng said turning to Huang Jin.
"Please take care of these bones."
"Ah... uh... ah..." Huang Jin tried his best not to look at the pile of bones, his tongue almost cramped, "Wait, wait... I can't use magic here... I..."
"If it's just a small area, I can adjust the environment." Qi Xin held the bag, "Hurry up."
Huang Jin pulled his hair frantically: "But this is still material for living people, and you are still in the science department. This..."
"No. Although I am in the science department, I am not a human being."
Zhong Cheng said that the emotions on his face were subtle and complicated, so complex that Huang Jin could not analyze them for a while. He could only see that there was a touch of sadness in it, but more of a strange determination.
"Animal bones are a common material, aren't they?"
Zhong Cheng said, pushing up his glasses. His newly grown arm had been wrapped in a phantom sweater, and all the blood stains had been absorbed by the skin. The man's whole body was clean, as if nothing had happened.
Huang Jin said in a daze. In the illusory room supported by Qi Xin, he almost handled the pile of bones by instinct.
Crystal white, hard, jade-like bones.
That's right, Zhong Cheng said it was a strange life of Yuanwu mixed with human beings, so his bones could still be used as materials. But what can it do? Huang Jin couldn't think of it and didn't dare to imagine it.
He just watched blankly as Zhong Cheng said he sorted the bones into categories. Zhong Cheng said he kept a phalange and put the rest into the phantom backpack. Bone upon bone, they piled up into a small pile.
"Okay." Zhong Cheng nodded with satisfaction and put his backpack on his back.
Qi Xin let out a long breath and stuffed the bag of meat into her abdomen. Then, there was a sticky chewing sound under her clothes. Huang Jin finished his eighteenth shiver and wiped away the non-existent cold sweat: "Is this the end?"
"Remember to keep it secret from Yin Ren." Zhong Cheng said, nodded, and took care of the consequences. "If it goes well, I might even ask you for help."
"No...what do you want to do?" Huang Jin tugged at his hair again.
"I can't turn back into 'Fear'. The fighting power of the human body cannot help Yin Ren. And no matter on the other side of the world, there is no knowledge that can guide me."
"So, I have to study it myself and find a way."
Zhong Cheng said that he spread out his palms, and the white finger bones were still warm, rolling gently in his palms. It is like an ordinary dead thing, just like Zhong Cheng himself, with his breath completely retracted.
Huang Jin's hanging tone relaxed a little: "It's okay, okay, I told you how to do this kind of thing, it turns out there is a direction."
"No." Zhong Cheng said solemnly.
"Huh?...Are you crazy?!"
Huang Jin choked on his saliva and coughed crazily.
"You don't even know if your own bones are useful, so you just get rid of so many of them? You... you must at least have a feasible plan!"
"Exploring the unknown, how can we wait until we know it will succeed?" Zhong Cheng said, looking at him with some surprise, "Even if it is a wrong attempt, there must be a beginning. This is how everyone explores step by step."
"Where does 'everyone' come from?" Huang Jin covered his forehead and spoke in an erratic tone. "What kind of theory are they all..."
"This is science."
Zhong Cheng replied like this.
"At this stage, this is my strongest ability."
Huang Jin opened his mouth. He instinctively wanted to refute, but he couldn't find the words to refute.
"Mr. Coal Ball is right. There are some observational experiments that only us 'special researchers' can do."
Seeing that Huang Jin didn't say anything anymore, Zhong Cheng said that he clenched the phalanx.
"To fight Yuanwu, this is an excellent scientific research venue."
"Hey, why did you get a satchel?" Yin Ren asked curiously.
He proudly dragged a long list of Yuan objects and returned home with a full load. As soon as he returned to the white room, he saw a dazzling cross-body bag on his lover. The satchel is not large in capacity and can hold at most three bottles of mineral water. Judging from the style, it looks like the kind that scientists would carry on field trips.
It's possible to build something here with your imagination, but building a satchel specifically is a bit of a fuss.
"To contain the fruit and materials." Zhong Cheng said, opening a corner of his bag and letting Yin Ren see the red light of the fruit.
Yes, Zhong Cheng said that sampling is always necessary. Perhaps this man had already gone out to pick something while he was away.
Yin Ren made a sound, and grabbed the string of yuan objects as if offering a treasure: "Look at this! Can it be used as a sample?"
The element he mentioned looked like a black radish with worm links. The radish twisted wildly, and the "roots" on the tips kept swinging. It is thinner than the intruder in the archives, and must be a species at the bottom of the food chain.
Zhong Cheng said taking the black radish with both hands.
The touch of the small Yuanwu is very strange, soft but a little tough, a bit like jelly.
Just when Zhong Cheng said he caught him, the carrot seemed to have been cast by a body-holding technique, and it instantly became straight and motionless.
"Weird, so honest?" Yin Ren turned his head and stared at the carrot seriously, "I showed off my momentum just now, and this group of little things ran the fastest... Not bad, Brother Zhong, you are still a precious sword."
"Its response is really interesting and worth studying."
Zhong Cheng said sincerely.
In the palm of his left hand, he held the phalanx quietly. It was close to Xiao Yuanwu's body and still carried a warm body temperature.
Yin Ren was extremely exhausted and had no doubt that he was there. He put the small Yuan objects into a pile and lay down next to Zhong Cheng. Like a wild beast returning from hunting, Yin Ren stretched his limbs and quickly closed his eyes.
His black hair was scattered all over the floor, exuding a faint scent of fragrant wood. Zhong Cheng said, lifting a strand of black hair and touching it lightly with his lips. The black hair hangs down naturally and is slightly cool to the touch, just like real hair.
"have a good rest."
Zhong Cheng said softly.
Shian Building, top floor office.
Li Nian and Fu Xingchuan each sat at their desks and looked at each other for a long time.
"Is it my imagination, or do you really dislike me? What a look." Fu Xingchuan put his feet on the table, "It's only been a few days, and you start to miss that kid Xiang Jiang?"
"I miss the days when I could catch him." Li Nian said with a straight face, "Have you changed your socks? It smells like feet."
Fu Xingchuan quickly put his feet down on the table: "Sorry, sorry. I've been so busy lately, I really forgot."
Li Nian snorted.
When Fu Xingchuan first came back, his mental outlook was not what it used to be. This guy healed his legs, his waist straightened, and the dark circles under his eyes were gone. Unfortunately, within a few days of taking up the post, the dark circles under his eyes returned to Minister Fu's face.
Without him, the pollution source case is too troublesome. Not to mention, they had just sent away nine groups on the front foot, and then something went wrong on the back foot.
A few people claimed online that they saw "angel's arms" and felt "soothing love", and then had their Yin and Yang eyes opened. They were indeed chosen by God. Although most citizens were not interested in such secondary arguments, Shi'an still sent people to investigate as usual.
No clues can be found.
Even the top practitioners cannot see any "angel's arms". Even if the respondent wildly points to something, saying "it's right here," the instrument can only detect a blank.
In fact, one wave of cases has arisen after another, and they are all such extremely energy-consuming wrangling cases.
Without finding out the truth, the case cannot be closed. Right now, the piles of documents on the desks of the two ministers can literally crush people to death.
"Let's order a small stove in the cafeteria for lunch. I want to eat stewed pigeons." Fu Xingchuan pulled at the paper painfully, "Old Li, we are old enough and we need to make up for it—"
Before he could finish speaking, the intercom phone rang.
"Hello?" Fu Xingchuan pressed the hands-free button with his backhand.
"Minister Fu? Someone wants to see you and Minister Li." The subordinate reported diligently, "They are two female citizens, ordinary people. I said that you need to register the reason for the visit when applying for a meeting, but they insisted on meeting you before telling me."
"Ah?" Fu Xingchuan reacted for several seconds, "We don't have time for the time being, let them register according to the rules."
Then there was silence on the phone. The subordinate probably covered the phone and went to communicate with the two ladies.
"They said they originally wanted to find someone from Group 9, but they couldn't get in touch, so they jumped over the top and contacted you."
After a while, the subordinate's voice appeared on the microphone again. There was a little more helplessness in his tone.
Fu Xingchuan and Li Nian looked at each other: "Nine groups?... What are their names?"
"Hold on."
After a few seconds, the subordinate cleared his throat.
"...It's Ms. Lin Bei and Ms. Gao Mengyu."
