Volume 1 • Across the Seven Seas [040] Positive and negative mana

"It's an amazing desire to survive, but it's a pity that it's just an obsession!"

Hawkins slowly approached George, and although George showed a strong desire to survive and hadn't given up yet, he knew very well that these were just illusions.

The real George is dead, and all that remains here is a modified shell and remnants of desire.

Hawkins had been thinking about the difference between George's mana and his own, and he realized the problem when he saw George wriggle like a caterpillar.

That kind of magic power, full of desire, that is George's desire to survive before he dies.

"Don't hurt George!!"

George roared loudly as he saw Hawkins slowly walking towards him.

But now that it was unable to attack, Hawkins walked up to it and reached out to pull a knife from a ripple to apply anesthetic.

"Don't worry, I have an anesthetic on the knife, you won't feel any pain!"

Hawkins' mana covered the blade, and after saying that, he raised his hand and slashed out, directly cutting off one of George's arms.

Sure enough, George's body was also full of black hair, which was like the fluff in a stuffed toy, filled under the skin.

However, Hawkins keenly felt that these hairs were not the same as the hairs in the body of the hairy ghost before.

He crouched down to examine, a wave of mana extending from his fingers and colliding with the mana in his hair.

Mana is a power that ordinary people can't see.

Hawkins still hasn't figured out the nature of mana, but this collision has given him a glimpse.

If his mana is compared to addition, then the mana that resides in George's body is subtraction, and he can clearly feel that his extended mana is consumed by about ten points.

In general, when mana extends to detect objects, it is actually by feeling the existence of that object to determine the nature of things.

Unless a cursed relic is found and the mana comes into contact with the cursed relic, probing does not consume mana.

Hawkins used his mana to touch the hairs again, and sure enough, the mana reappeared, this time with a clearer feeling.

"It's like a positive and a negative, if my mana is positive, then the mana in George's body is negative, so...... The reason why Mark was knocked away was actually because his positive mana power was perfectly offset by George's negative mana? ”

Hawkins stood up, looked at George, who was still struggling, and made a basic judgment in his heart.

opened the chat group and took a look, and sure enough, Jenny and the others were worried about Mark, because Mark's video screen was black, which meant that Mark was either unconscious or dead.

After closing the chat group, Hawkins' mana quickly extended in all directions, and in a moment he spotted Mark on a tree branch a few hundred meters away.

Mark was not killed by George, but was seriously injured and unconscious, and he was lucky enough to have a tree as a buffer, so the most serious injury was only the part where George hit him head-on with a big tree.

comminuted thoracic fracture, hemorrhage in the lungs, massive hemorrhage in multiple visceral areas, minor concussion......

Hawkins found Mark, immediately began the diagnosis, and inserted hair by hair into Mark's body to begin treatment.

It's a pity that the construction of Eternal Space has not really been completed, otherwise it would only take a moment to heal Mark by sending Mark into Eternal Space.

Hawkins has a lot of knowledge in his consciousness, but if he wants to turn this knowledge into a tool that can be used, even if he has eternal space, he still needs to prepare enough resources, such as an island with abundant resources.

However, at present, Hawkins has not found a way to send the entire island into eternal space, after all, the maximum space passage for the time being can only be opened to about ten meters in diameter.

After treating Mark, Hawkins sends Mark into Eternal Space and heads back.

On the other side, Victor is holding a knife and frantically slashing George's head, in addition to hating Jobs who killed Avril, he also hates George, who uses Avril as a meat shield.

"How can you not cut it, damn it!"

Victor had used all his strength, but his knife slashed at George's head and cut off the hair.

At this moment, he was deeply aware of the gap between himself and Mark and Hawkins, don't look at the two of them killing the hairy ghost is an understatement, in other words, he has only one way to die.

He had never felt as weak as he did at this moment.

Hawkins stood behind Victor, reached out and pinched the knife raised by Victor, and said: "Actually, he is only an innocent victim, although his behavior is despicable, but there is actually no difference from the result." ”

At that time, whether George used Avril as a shield or not, the result would not change, and the final result must be that Avril was killed, George was captured and sucked blood, and finally became a monster.

This is not an accident, but a necessity.

"I know, actually, I just hate myself, this lord, what can I do to be as strong as you?" asked Victor with his head down, feeling Hawkins let go of his knife and slowly lower his hands.

Hawkins shook his head and said, "No matter what you do, you can't be as strong as me, die." ”

It's not that his life can't be replicated, but if it is said that everyone can, he is not sure now.

After all, he had no way of knowing how many unlucky people there were in the previous universe.

Realizing that there are infinite possibilities, if any, the possibility of making the wrong choice, he is no longer sure if all of his friends and relatives are the ultimate consciousness.

Moreover, even if they really become the ultimate consciousness in a parallel universe like him, they may not escape from the universe after the heat death of the universe like him, or they may choose to stay, and they may eventually become meaningless existences.

This is also the reason why he wants to resurrect his relatives and friends.

And the situation with Victor is more complicated.

Hawkins has basically determined that there is no parallel universe in this universe, because after the death of people here, their consciousness directly enters the delusion realm, and eventually becomes the cursed spirit in the cursed relic.

So if Victor wants to be as powerful as him, he can probably only dream.

Victor couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, he also knew that he was delusional, after all, Hawkins was powerful, and he had seen it with his own eyes just now.

This kind of strong man must have experienced a tempering that he can't imagine, and not everyone can imitate it.

Hawkins walked over to George and continued to study George's body, while Victor retracted the knife from its scabbard and waited quietly.

The main thing is that he doesn't dare to go too far away from Hawkins, although Hawkins and Mark have killed a lot of hairy ghosts, he can't be sure if there are more hairy ghosts around.

If he leaves alone and then encounters the hairy ghost, it will be a dead end.

Half an hour later, Hawkins took out a knife and cut off George's pig's head, and then said to Victor, "Let's go." ”

"Not looking for Jobs?" Victor hurriedly followed.

Hawkins patiently explained as he walked: "Jobs is not here, we are late. ”

It is estimated that Jobs left directly after sucking up George's blood last night, which shows that Jobs's actions were purposeful, not purposeless and random as previously speculated.

However, whether Jobs will come to his senses is still a question mark for the time being.

Hawkins couldn't be sure of that either.

"Your Excellency, you and Jobs...... Is there any hatred?" asked Victor, following Hawkins, cautiously.

He had a great curiosity about all things Hawkins, and he had never seen a big man as powerful and charismatic as Hawkins in the past.

Hawkins didn't look back, thought about it and smiled lightly: "It's not a grudge." ”

Hawkins, who really has a grudge against Jobs, is dead, he really doesn't have a grudge with Jobs, even if he does have a grudge, Jobs hates him, and he never regards Jobs as an opponent.

Victor was a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask, "Then why are you ......?"

"You mean why I wanted to kill Jobs? Because of the benefits, of course. Hawkins couldn't help but laugh when he heard what Victor meant.

There were two reasons why he wanted to kill Jobs.

One is that Jobs is 100% a spell master, and he must have a cursed relic with good ability, and the reward for killing Jobs will not be bad.

The second is that Jobs is now slaughtering cities and destroying villages at every turn, whether it is the elderly or children, even pregnant women cannot escape the poison, Hawkins can't see it.

Although he knows that the ultimate fate of these people is inevitably death, at least they also have the right to survive, and everyone's life is an irreproducible miracle.

So, since he has the ability, Hawkins doesn't mind doing something good for the benefit of others and himself.

The two returned to the port, and Hawkins jumped on the Black Knife and said with a smile: "Okay, boy, it's time to say goodbye, it is estimated that after a while, this place should be safe." ”

It's not clear whether Jobs is crazy or not, but when Jobs needs it, the hairy ghost who stayed around here should rush to Jobs' location to act as an executioner, so just wait for a while, and the hairy ghost will naturally leave.

In fact, Hawkins has another option, which is to stay nearby and wait for the hairy ghost to follow when he rushes to Jobs' location, so that he can naturally find Jobs.

It's just a waste of time.

Hawkins doesn't mind doing something good for the benefit of others, but he certainly doesn't waste time waiting for the sake of doing good.

"Wait, sir, are you short of men on board? I can be a sailor, a cook, and I can make a little music, even if it's a fight. Seeing that Hawkins was leaving, Victor finally couldn't help but ask.

Hawkins turned his head, thought about it for a moment and smiled: "Trainee sailor, the monthly salary is 15 silver coins, and after the regularization, 20 silver coins per month, can you do it?"

"Do it, I'll do it!" Victor replied with a nod of surprise.

Not to mention having a salary, even if there is no salary, as long as there is food and accommodation, he is willing to get on the boat.

Hawkins laughed, "Then get on board, boy!"

After Victor boarded the ship, the Black Knife reversed course and continued its voyage towards the Black Market.
