2 The Body of Radiance

[You have awakened a transcendent skill, the body of the Radiant]

……

[Body of Flare: You can absorb and store light from your surroundings, and release it when needed.] The storage limit depends on your person]

……

[With Ingersoll's Humility, your skills have a Divine Effect applied]

……

[Sanctification: Your stored light will automatically be transformed into holy light, which has a healing effect, depending on your own ability to recover]

……

[The current level is beginner (1/10)]

……

A whining sound could be faintly heard in the corner of the silent room, the sound of the cold wind outside blowing through the cracks in the walls.

Bernie, who was leaning on the handrail of the wooden staircase and looked like he was heading downstairs, stood there motionless, silently feeling a physical change that accompanied the flow of information.

It was a change that started from the chest, and the warm current spread from the chest to the whole body, slightly sour, but more as if the internal organs had been washed away as if the heavy comfort, the inside and outside of the body became more and more light.

This change lasted for about ten minutes before quietly disappearing.

Instead, there is a feeling that the surroundings are becoming very warm and your body seems to be cold.

Just like walking from the cold outdoors to the warm interior in winter, bursts of hot air are merging into the body from all directions, constantly dissipating the cold in the body.

It's just that this dispersal speed is not fast, and the warm atmosphere around is only relative, and it is not much warmer than before.

This was normal, as it was night, and Bernie hadn't lit a candle for lighting since he entered the room, and the surroundings were dark.

So he turned around and went back to the attic on the third floor.

Because there is a skylight in the attic, the space is relatively bright, so the "cold" in his body dissipates faster.

And as he poked his finger out of the window, the moonlight slowly began to twist and glow at his fingertips.

It was as if his fingers had a strong attraction to these lights.

The environment in the attic was much darker as a result.

After waiting for a few seconds, Bernie snapped his fingers, and a cold glow appeared between his fingers.

Unfortunately, after a few flickering moments, the glow was dimmed.

But that's enough for Bernie to see some information—

[This is a light with a faint healing power, and it can work on all the incongruities in the flesh]

……

"Everything is out of ......"

Bernie pondered this, and then looked at the long barrel-shaped turtle container he was carrying, or the turtle player inside the container.

The way players appear in this world is to possess animal bodies, rather than directly possess humans, which is normal for Bernie.

Because the human soul is closely related to the physical body, and the soul has a strong sense of autonomy, it is difficult for foreign consciousness to invade the human body without the consent of the human being.

Even if it is a devil like him, if he wants to possess a human being, he still needs to sign a contract, and it is even more impossible for the player to possess him at will.

Therefore, they can only attach themselves to animals with weak spirituality and weaker independent thinking.

It will be difficult to become a human in the future.

During this period, the so-called upgrade of players is actually the spirit that slowly encroaches on the animal's body after possession, and then strengthens the soul under its own control.

But there is an obstacle to this encroachment, and that is the body of the animal itself.

In other words, any physical body is a line of defense for the soul.

Therefore, if players want to level up, they have to follow the instinct of the possessed animal to play, paralyze or even "please" the animal's own flesh.

Then step by step, the body mistakenly thinks that the player's "soul" is its master, and correspondingly weakens the protection of the animal's own spirituality.

Eventually, when the animal's body is completely returned to the player, the animal's own spirituality will naturally be swallowed by the player, turning into a pile of experience points.

It's just that before this encroachment is completely over, there are actually two owners in the animal's body, one is the player and the other is the animal itself.

In the same way, the animal's body protects both souls at the same time.

It's actually a dissonance.

So what happens when this dissonance meets a force that heals the incongruity?

Strength was stored in the moonlight with his right hand poking into the skylight, and Bernie scanned the small brown-shelled grass turtle in the container.

The other party seems to be a night owl, and now he has quietly gone online, and now he is chatting with his girlfriend.

They usually chat, but it's basically gossip.

Therefore, Bernie didn't look closely at the contents, and when he felt that the light stored in his hand was almost exhausted, he aimed at the target and flicked his fingers.

A pale white ball of light that popped out of his fingertips shot into the container and stuck to the tortoise's brown shell, then slowly melted into its body like water.

Two messages floated out of the turtle's head immediately after—

+20 XP

Level up to 6

……

"Huh? Why did I suddenly upgrade? “

The turtle, who was busy chatting, obviously didn't see what had just happened on her shell, so she was still puzzled by the sudden hint of an upgrade.

"What do you mean suddenly?"

"Because I just gained an experience ...... in an instant."

"Instantaneous...... You're not going to be dazzled, are you? Or misremembered? ”

"No, I have a good memory, and I have ...... eyes Well, I've been playing with the computer lately, and my eyes are a little sparkling, and I seem to have had a seizure just now...... Maybe it's time for me to go to the hospital for a check-up. ”

"So you suddenly upgraded by mistake?"

"I don't know, it's level six anyway......"

The long, deep container made it impossible for the turtle to detect Bernie's peeping as it did in the first pot, so the little creature didn't notice Bernie's presence.

However, a turtle has nothing to peep at, and Bernie, who has obtained the results of the experiment, then retracts his gaze, and plans to observe tomorrow whether there are any players below level 5 in the city of Neam, and then see if this healing can be turned into experience reduction.

It's just that the next conversation between the two guys unconsciously attracted his attention.

"Mengmeng, how did you complete that task?" The grass turtle asks friends from an unknown distance.

"It's going well, I think I'm almost in the place where the uncle said...... Do you want to give him a little reward after I complete the task? If he hadn't told me this information, I might not have been able to find a place for a week, and it would have been too hard to find. ”

"I don't know what your rules are for playing games."

"Well, that's the score...... We'll talk about that then. Anyway, what's your escape plan? ”

"What's the plan, I can only wait for the upgrade to increase my strength, and then practice my operation skills, and try to hold on to this bottle to see if I can climb out......"

"I still think it's a pity that you left, the video you recorded is now popular on the forum, and they all guess that the angel is a main character."

"What a pity? Why don't we change numbers to play? ”

"Well, I don't have the patience of you."

"So, it's boring to be in a cage all day. And I wasn't going to be a normal gamer, I decided to be a casual gamer and look at the game world, and I found the various details of the game particularly interesting. ”

"That's right, yesterday I also saw someone who forced someone to open his mind, saying that this game is connected to the real world hhh, the key is the evidence he put forward, think about it carefully, it's really like that......"

……

The fairy player is about to complete the mission, and Bernie is a little surprised by this, thinking that she will have to grind for a long time.

But that last sentence had become the focus of Bernie's thinking at the moment.

As for the little turtle's so-called escape plan, he didn't pay much attention to it.

His research does not require the cooperation of players, and it is even better for players not to go online.

So he basically ignored the idea of the person in front of him before, and he didn't have any worries about fiddling with the other party.

I thought that the other party had wanted to run away a long time ago, but I didn't think that this person seemed to have such a plan recently.

It's really bearable......

As he was muttering secretly, there was a sudden knock on the door downstairs, and Bernie was stunned.

He had only been separated from Bishop Rhodes and the rest of the investigation team for a short time, and it stands to reason that no one would come looking for him at this time.

Did something go unexpected?

With that in mind, Bernie lit a candle and walked down the stairs to finally open the door.

What I saw was a young aristocrat, dressed in a simple black shirt and long breeches, with a heroic temperament and a very mediocre appearance.

"Hello."

After seeing Bernie open the door, the young nobleman stroked his chest and saluted,

"I'm Levi Cambore, and I'm sorry to be here. Just about my brother Mitchell so had to bother ......"
