Cui Zuojing hurriedly went to the study, where Victor was lying in the cathouse on the table, surrounded by stacked hard-covered books. Hearing the movement of Cui Zuojing pushing the door and entering, the white cat raised his head slightly with difficulty, his ears stood upright, and his amber eyes were filled with the same gentleness as always.
"Uncle, how are you feeling?" Cui Zuojing stretched out his hand and asked softly. Fu Zhe followed behind him and closed the door.
"It's okay." Victor gently placed his front paws on the palm of the boy's palm, his voice low and indescribably weak, "My first seal has been undone."
"I know, Dong Linhai told me everything at that time." Cui Zuojing paused, and finally couldn't hold back, "How could you be so impulsive at that time? If the seal was not lifted in time, wouldn't it be— "
"If I didn't stand up, Linhai might not be able to get out of the box." Victor said, the tip of his fluffy tail twitched lightly, "I thought that the power of the master of the body was there, even if it really came out. No matter what, it won't kill you in one hit."
Cui Zuojing didn't speak, just looked at him silently.
After all, Victor was defeated by this kind of gaze, and said, "Well, I rushed up subconsciously."
Cui Zuojing sighed, took Victor in his arms, and stroked his back: "I knew it was like this."
Fu Zhe leaned back on the edge of the table and said, "You are no longer a human body with strength and patience that have been strengthened to the peak. If you encounter this situation again in the future, don't be impulsive. If something happens. , Ah Zuo's return this time has lost half of the meaning, and his physical strength will continue to be attached to the next master, and then just looking for that person will be enough trouble."
Victor nodded, but still didn't make the promise of "never again".
"By the way, how is the condition of the box?"
"It was passed very smoothly, and the final true ending was explored. It is estimated that it has left a lot of psychological shadows on everyone. Although no one has shown it yet, it must be uncomfortable in private."
Victor and Cui Zuojing looked at each other and didn't ask what the ending was. Since the purpose of the box was to create and collect despair, he didn't need to let his mood be affected at all.
"How is he Linhai?"
Fu Zhe: "His ability really showed the trend of evolution. At the juncture of life and death, he changed the shape of the dagger and saved one of his and Lin Hang's lives."
"Metal control..." Victor pondered, "Very practical ability."
Cui Zuojing: "Yeah, the stupid kid will finally stop being stupid and clumsy. Find someone to teach him, and progress should be very fast."
Victor nodded. After all, he had just woken up from the coma of excessive overdraft. He was still very tired, and he was not able to adapt to the physical state after the unblocking. He curled up in Cui Zuojing's arms.
Fu Zhe: "After you unblocked, did you get any information from your body elements?"
"Prisoner, servant, messenger, master." Victor whispered, "This is our title under the Queen's triple seal, and it is also a test given to us by the power of the elements. Every time a seal is unlocked, our level will increase accordingly. And after finally breaking the triple seal, he becomes the true master of the elements."
Only then did Cui Zuojing know that after unsealing the seal, he would still get news, and asked Fu Zhe, "What did you get when you unsealed it?"
"Some of the secrets of the laws of time and space, this is rather mysterious, and it is not easy to explain."
Seeing this, Cui Zuojing did not force Fu Zhe to speak, and the two said something that only the three of them knew, so they stopped disturbing Victor and walked out of the study.
As soon as he went out, Cui Zuojing was a little surprised to see Dong Linhai leaning against the wall, staring down at his toes and waiting silently. He was as tall as a grown man, but the outline of his face still had a hint of youthful childishness.
Seeing Cui Zuojing and Fu Zhe come out, Dong Linhai raised his head and hesitated.
It was rare that Cui Zuojing didn't slap him on purpose. He pointed to the door and said, "Go, uncle wants to see you too."
Dong Linhai's dull eyes lit up immediately, he bit his lower lip, and couldn't wait to push the door in.
"uncle."
"Linhai." Victor seemed to have expected him to come, and smiled while lying on the table, "I heard Azuo say that your real ability is metal control. You found the true form of your ability so quickly, you Very talented."
"Ah, is that so?" Dong Linhai scratched his head a little embarrassedly after being praised by Victor, but he didn't come here to talk to Victor this time. He sat at the table and asked, "How do you feel about your body? When I saw that you were hit by Pan Chuangen, it really scared me to death."
"No breaking, no standing." Victor laughed, "As you can see, I was lucky to unlock the first seal."
Dong Linhai pursed his lips and was silent for a while, touched Victor's head, and said firmly: "Uncle, from now on, I will never let anyone put me in danger in order to protect me. I used to blame me for useless, now that I have With the ability, I can definitely be on my own.”
Victor rubbed his palm and said softly, "I believe it."
Everyone else was still waiting downstairs, Cui Zuojing clapped his hands and successfully attracted everyone's attention.
"Fu Zhe has sorted out some information and will send it to your mobile phone later. I will try to read the top 100 scp projects he selected tonight, understand the Cthulhu mythology system, and then have a good rest, and start physical training tomorrow. , by the way, I want to test the material I read today."
Allen raised his hand: "Should there be punishment for those who behave badly!"
"Of course." Cui Zuojing smiled brightly, "If there is no punishment, how can it be motivating? The specifics...you will find out tomorrow."
Lin Hangzhi and Dong Zheng made dinner together. Lin Hangzhi has been single for a long time and has a strong ability to take care of himself. Dong Zheng helped him and learned how to do it by the way.
What Cui Zuojing said is right. This is very different from the real world. There are many things that he needs to change and learn. He is no longer the Dong Zheng who used to be full of work.
A table of people had a lively dinner. Dong Linhai continued to practice his skills while the iron was hot. Now, he can easily make the spoon into various shapes, and even used the iron spoon to bend a small flower in shape and give it to Allen. he plays.
And his ability... It seems that there are no restrictions on its use? Unlike Aaron, who is easily exhausted, Dong Zheng will have a headache and can't concentrate if he uses it too much. Lin Hangzhi comes with his own debuff, and he seems to be able to use it any number of times without feeling tired.
It may also be because, now he is using the simplest spoons for testing, and there may be restrictions on switching to other metal objects later.
Fu Zhe took the dagger to Linhai, "It's unclear whether the mechanism of your ability is to change the arrangement of metal atoms or something else, but it's okay, you try to come first."
"Okay." Dong Linhai happily took over and fiddled, trying to recall the mysterious feeling, but still unsuccessful.
He was not discouraged. Dong Zheng was about to go back to his room and passed by him and said, "Don't patronize the experiment, and read the data carefully."
"Got it." Dong Linhai turned his head and smiled at him, "I know scp and Cthulhu very well."
Dong Zheng saw that Lin Hai knew something, so he stopped talking, went back to his room and sat at the table and started to read Fu Zhefa's materials. After a while, he felt tired and lay down on the bed to read.
In the real world, he rarely has such a leisurely time, with too much social pressure on his body, but he is not as simple as he is now when he only has the purpose of survival.
Fu Zhe sent three document packs, namely, scp foundation project excerpts, Cthulhu mythology, and Norse gods.
Dong Zheng started from SCP. Since Cui Zuojing mentioned SCP, he took the initiative to learn more about it. It is undeniable that this is an excellent collective creation project, and the very imaginative brain holes can indeed be found in the box. Gives a lot of inspiration for decryption.
The clinical body looked a bit tiring, but Dong Zheng was very patient. After reading thirty items in a row, he put down the phone and prepared to rest for a while.
There was a knock on the door at this moment, Cui Zuojing looked out from the outside, pushed open the door consciously, and asked, "How is your ability training? I heard from Fu Zhe that with his help, you can go smoothly. Is it inside the kernel?"
"Yes." Dong Zheng sat up from the bed, watched Cui Zuojing come and sit next to him, and said, "But it's still a little difficult to take the initiative to enter, it seems that we have reached a bottleneck and there is still a lack of opportunity."
"You are already very fast. The mental system is probably the most difficult to control of all abilities. It took Fu Zhe more than a year to control his abilities."
"If it wasn't for his help, I wouldn't be so fast."
"So Fu Zhe asked me to bring this to you." Cui Zuojing took out a small box from his pocket. Dong Zheng watched him carefully open the box, and there was a copper-colored bell inside, and the tongue of the bell was fixed with rosin.
"I will test you, can you guess which SCP Fu Zhe made this thing according to?"
Dong Zheng picked up the bell, thought about it, and said, "Cow bell?"
"Not bad." Cui Zuojing was a little surprised that Niu Ling was not in the resources currently given by Fu Zhe, "How did you know?"
"I checked the scp and browsed the directory, and it seems that I only saw this one about the bell."
"Then do you know the function of cow bells?"
Dong Zheng shook his head: "I didn't read it carefully, but since it was made by Fu Zhe, it should be related to mind control."
"SCP-513, Cowbell, Class Euclid, makes a sound that will cause anxiety to any creature that hears it, and will cause the victim to turn their head, pass windows, mirrors, open doors, and suddenly glimpse anomalous creatures, and Constantly disturbed and attacked by the anomalous creature during sleep, resulting in extreme tension and panic, causing the victim to lose sleep, become overstressed, have a nervous breakdown, and ultimately commit suicide."
"After questioning, all victims indicated that the anomalous creature was an excessively emaciated humanoid with unusually large hands."
Cui Zuojing swayed the cow bell carelessly, the tongue of the bell was blocked and no sound came out. He raised his eyes and stared at Dong Zheng, and said with a smile, "Would you like to try it?"
Dong Zheng: …
He sighed: "It seems that since I told you that I am afraid of supernatural things, you especially like to scare me."
"Who told you to take the initiative to expose your weaknesses to me, but don't worry about it, everyone has weaknesses, so don't feel embarrassed."
"Then do you also have weaknesses?" Dong Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Of course I have weaknesses." Cui Zuojing smiled slyly and tapped Dong Zheng's chest, "Isn't my weakness yours?"
Dong Zheng was stunned, and immediately realized that Cui Zuojing was referring to the blood contract, and the injuries he suffered would also appear on Cui Zuojing, which was naturally his weakness.
He dodged his eyes, calmed down, and said, "Okay, are you going to use this on me?"
This is a prop made by Fu Zhe, and it is not a real cow bell. The effect it has should only allow him to enter the illusion without Fu Zhe being there.
"Well, Fu Zhe wants to test the extent of your ability." Cui Zuojing made a gesture, "Lie down."
Dong Zheng lay flat on the bed again, slightly tilting his head to look at Cui Zuojing.
"Do you like to sleep on your back?" Cui Zuojing sat on the edge of the bed, propped up the bed with one hand and held the cow bell in the other, and asked, "Then I start?"
Dong Zheng snorted, Cui Zuojing put on his headphones, turned on the music on his mobile phone, and carefully took out the rosin that sealed the bell tongue in the noisy DJ sound, shaking his wrist.
jingle-
When the crisp sound of the bell was caught by Dong Zheng's ears, a flower suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and the bed under him suddenly disappeared along with the floor, and the sense of weightlessness suddenly wrapped his whole body.
He fell heavily, into the never-ending darkness below.
fall
Down

.
Dong Zheng seemed to lose consciousness the moment the bell rang. Cui Zuojing observed him, looked at the bell again, and asked curiously, "Is it really that magical?"
So he took off his earphones and shook it tentatively.
jingle-
The young Hei Liang's eyes lost all clarity, he paused for two seconds, and fell down without all support, lying face down on Dong Zheng, who was completely unconscious.
The bell rolled from his hand, and after making a series of sounds, he lay quietly on the quilt.
