Chapter 16, The Altar and Source Energy

When Shuki Mitsuki returned to his yard, he found that the old lady had not gotten up yet, so he walked into the kitchen with exhaustion, put the lid on the food and put it in the dining room.

Then he returned to the room, didn't even wash his body, and fell asleep directly, which completely exhausted him after a few tosses this night.

This sleep went straight to the afternoon, and Shuki saw that the moon barely recovered and got up.

After cleaning his body, he sat down on the bed and closed his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, my surroundings had completely changed, and I also felt that there was something strange about myself, and a sense of vanity rose again, obviously not in a physical state.

This is a square the size of a basketball court, the whole square is paved with white stone of unknown material, it looks extremely old and dilapidated, and it is full of strange and mysterious textures.

There was a white mist at the edge of the square, and beyond the white fog was darkness, and his intuition told him that it was best not to get out of the white fog, otherwise something unexpected would happen.

In the center of the square is a triangular platform of one meter on each side, which is also full of strange and mysterious textures, and it is more dense and mysterious.

The platform was empty, and only a fist-sized white ball of light was suspended, and the ball of light emitted a hazy light, the light was not strong, but it shone on the entire square.

"Welcome to my space, host." The glow of the orb of light became slightly more intense, making a mechanically rigid sound.

Tsukimitsuki walked over to the platform and examined the ball of light, "This is your body?" ”

"Yes and no, to be exact, I belong to a part of here." "Besides, you're the first person to enter here after I regained consciousness. ”

"The first one?" Shuki Mitsuki frowned and said, "Could it be that Shiraishi Kei hasn't been here either?" ”

"Yes." The ball of light was still in that uninhibited tone, "I have always appeared in his cognition as the so-called 'system', and I also think that this is more in line with his cognition and easier to be accepted by him, and he has always taken it for granted." ”

"In other words, even Kei Shiraishi doesn't know your true face, so why don't you continue to appear in front of me in a 'systematic' way now." Shuki Mitsuki asked.

The light of the ball of light suddenly whispered, still cold, "I mentioned before, the death of the former host caused me a lot of damage, and now is when I am the weakest, I can no longer continue to hide this space, and I don't think there is any need to hide for you at all, and I have never deliberately wanted to hide, but compared to the previous host, it is more advantageous to hide." ”

"Then tell me, what the hell are you, and what is this space?"

Shuki Jianyue's eyes narrowed slightly, whether it was this space or this ball of light, there was something strange everywhere, which made him have to doubt.

The ball of light suddenly fell silent, and then said, "I'm sorry, host, I can't fully answer your question, because I can't know the root either, I only have a record of awakening, and the only thing that can answer you is that this space, including me, belongs to this altar below, and does not belong to this world." ”

Suzuki had reservations about the credibility of what it was saying, and had no intention of continuing to investigate, knowing that no further entanglement would reveal all the truth.

Capturing a certain word it had just said, it shifted its focus and asked, "You said that I was stepping on an 'altar', could you tell me where it came from and what it does...... Well, that's nonsense, and I'm guessing you're going to answer again that you don't know. ”

The white ball of light was silent.

Shuki Mitsuki looked at the so-called altar under his feet again, especially the triangular platform in front of him, which was obviously the core, but soon the mysterious texture on it made him dizzy again, and he quickly retracted his gaze and stopped exploring.

So in another way, what is the meaning of your existence as a part of it? What is the purpose of your possession of me and Kei Shiraishi? Don't tell me you're selfless in order to help us become invincible in the world, sorry, it's not a third-rate novel, don't take me for a fool! ”

"I also have the idea of explaining this to the host."

The light on the surface of the white ball of light flickered for a moment, as if combing through the language, and then it was still the same tone without warmth. "When I woke up, even though I had lost my previous records, some instructions were already engraved in me, telling me what I needed to do and how to do it, and that, according to human beings, was the reason for my existence.

And all my patterns of behavior have only one purpose, and that is to repair this altar that has been damaged for unknown reasons. ”

Although Shuki Mitsuki also intuitively felt that this altar was not simple, he didn't expect it to be broken, but then he felt that he had grasped the key point again.

"How are you going to fix it?"

The White Orb replied, "That's why I need your help, repairing the altar requires an energy I named 'Source Energy', and I can't collect this energy alone, so I need the host to collect it for me;

The Source Energy is also of great help to you, but you cannot use it directly, but there is no such restriction as a lodger at the altar, so it is a win-win cooperation for you and me. ”

"This is the fundamental reason why Kei Shiraishi's strength has progressed so quickly in a short period of time?" Shuki Mitsuki spoke, but he was already sure in his heart.

"The points that the former host thinks are 'source energy', and he can use the points to increase the attributes of his body at will, even the so-called 'chakra' in your mouth;

But this is only one of the functions, the altar is definitely far more helpful to the host than the host thinks, as long as the higher the degree of repair of the altar, the more functions will be restored, and the greater the help will be to the host. ”

Although the tone was still cold, it felt weird to see how the big bad wolf tempted Little Red Riding Hood.

However, this can be regarded as solving a lot of his doubts, and he will have the confidence to use this altar in the future.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't look at the perverted strength growth rate of the red and white stone kei, and now that this 'hanging' is owned by him, even if he can't completely trust it, it doesn't prevent him from making good use of it to enhance his strength.

"How do you get what you call source energy?" Another question came out immediately, even though Shuki Mitsuki already had a guess in his heart.

"The host has investigated the former host, doesn't it already know the easiest and most direct method?" The white ball of light said lightly, "All living beings have source energy, and the difference is only the size of the quantity; However, the source energy of the living beings cannot be directly obtained, and the host does not have to worry about this problem, as an altar resident, it is also a medium for obtaining source energy. ”

"Sure enough." Shuki Mitsuki nodded, not the slightest surprise.

"Also, I need to warn the host." The white ball of light suddenly spoke, "Please be sure to obtain a hundred units of source energy within a month to carry out the first stage of restoration for the altar; Originally, the altar had successfully completed the first stage of restoration with the help of the previous host, but thanks to the host, it had to start from scratch. ”

Shuki shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and didn't pay attention to what seemed to be a complaint, and instead asked, "Why do you have to get a hundred units of source energy within a month, if I don't have enough source energy by then?" ”

The white ball of light suddenly spoke in a faint tone, "If possible, I hope the host had better seriously consider not doing this, if the source energy is not enough for the altar to absorb at that time, the altar will think that the host does not meet the qualification requirements to become a host, and in order to repair itself more ideally, the altar will automatically find the next qualified host." ”

Shumu saw the moon's small eyelids immediately darkened, he had a hole in his brain to let this 'hanging' get out of himself, although he couldn't completely trust the other party, but it didn't prevent him from coveting its effect.

Thinking about the end of the crane in Shiraishi, it only took a month for the strength to skyrocket, and he didn't have the idea of letting the cooked duck fly away.

Thinking so in his heart, it didn't prevent him from pretending to be blackfaced, "Hehe...... If you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I'll just pick up the mule and not do it? ”

"The host cooperates with us fairly, I think being open and honest with the host at the beginning is more conducive to future cooperation, and I am part of the altar, but the altar has its own mechanical settings, and it is not under my control." The white ball of light explained.

"In addition, each stage of restoration of the altar is completed, and the host will also receive great benefits; For example, if you eliminate all the negative effects of the body, as long as your head is not lost, even if you are missing an arm or a broken leg, it can restore you completely; What is more intuitive is the leap of life level, the increase of life expectancy, and the huge improvement of various talents and qualifications; Therefore, please be sure to collect the source energy carefully. ”
