Chapter 12: The Outsider's Gift

However, just as he was about to test the Outsider's attitude again, he was forced to stop halfway through, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Because he saw that everything in his field of vision suddenly became blurred, and he could not see the form, and the mysterious and ethereal young man in front of him was getting farther and farther away from him.

"Now, I'm going to send you back to the real world and use your new abilities to the fullest, that's my gift to you......"

The Outsider had fully opened his arms at this moment, as if he was about to embrace something, and as his last words fell, the world around him gradually became dissonant and distorted.

Wait, it's so neat? Mo Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, a little unable to react.

Therefore, a "master of the world" like the Outsider Demon is really the most powerful.

As long as you make him find interesting and worth watching, then he will directly open a plug-in for you. And just after saying that, he will leave, and he will not drag the mud and water in the slightest. Throughout the two generations of games, it is a classic routine that he directly came out to give the protagonist at the beginning.

There are also characters such as Mouse Boy and Uncle Morality, all of which are like this, and they are also opened as official plug-ins because they are interesting.

The downside, however, is that the Outsider always only follows his own mood, acts unpredictably, does not deliberately show any factional tendencies, and does not ask you to do anything...... He's just here to see interesting things.

Because of this, people can't figure out what he's thinking.

And most importantly –

Neither Corvo nor Emily himself, why did he give himself a "heart"? Mo Chen felt that the Void Realm was rapidly rejecting himself, as if he was falling from a high place to a downstream.

There seemed to be something whistling past him at a very fast speed, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly subconsciously reached out and grabbed the mechanical heart that had been floating in front of him.

The touch of the object in his hand came, and when everything was calm again, he found himself back in the alley.

The two headshot corpses on the ground are showing that it all happened not so long ago.

"Wait......"

Mo Chen looked around for a moment, and then suddenly thought of something, and quickly lowered his head to look at his body.

The waist is no longer sore, the leg is no longer painful, the paralyzing pain in the right shoulder has disappeared, the abdomen that was pierced has fully recovered, and even the city police officer saber that pierced his body has disappeared.

If it weren't for the fact that half of his body was dyed red, and the clothes on his body were not only torn but also sticky with blood, he might even think that his previous injuries were hallucinations.

"It's amazing, but then again, I seem to understand what he said, right?"

Mo Chen raised his left hand, looked at it and looked at it, he still felt a dreamlike feeling, and he found another key thing in hindsight.

However, it's not that he is slow to react, but that he can hold on to his previous injuries and not pass out is already very good, how can he still be able to think comprehensively and rationally in all aspects.

"Well, this power ......"

Feeling the Outsider Demon Mark on the back of his hand, some kind of vague connection with the distant void, Mo Chen closed his eyes and carefully experienced it.

He felt that his spirit seemed to become clearer than ever, and there was a special ...... in his body Strength? Or energy?

Unlike the vague concept of "physical strength", people can only know that they are exhausted when they need to rest after exerting a lot of physical energy.

But in normal times, people can't accurately sense how much physical strength they have and how many things they can do.

- This is not a quantifiable figure.

But this new energy is different, it is the kind that can be clearly felt, as if it were a body of water in a transparent bottle, you can clearly see its height, you can clearly feel its weight.

So you can tell if the bottle is full or empty, if there is only a little bit left, or if there is more than half of it.

The most important thing is that Mo Chen can deduce what kind of abilities he can use based on this, because this is the so-called "magic power", the mysterious source of the magic ability that actively urges it.

The Outsider Mark did give him supernatural power, and this power did not need to be explained, as if it had been directly imprinted through the spiritual level, allowing him to instinctively master the method of using it.

To put it simply, the Outsider Mark has both active abilities and passive effects.

The former is a magical ability that needs to be actively used, and it consumes mana. The latter is some kind of permanent enhancement that doesn't need to consume any mana to maintain-

For example, strengthening physical strength can make people have stronger strength and higher bursts, as well as more durable endurance, which will be greatly improved, so that the physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people.

For example, strengthening the vitality can make people have stronger activity and resilience, and when facing damage, they can withstand more blows, and the damage they receive can also recover quickly, and the body will become extremely strong.

Or strengthening the ability of nerve reflexes can make people have faster instantaneous reaction speed, and be able to do more dexterous or agile movements......

Basically, these passive buffs alone are pretty powerful.

Mo Chen has now noticed a significant change in himself, his body seems to be full of strength, which can make him easily jump higher and farther, run faster and longer, and his vision can also see very far and very clearly.

It can be said that not only the strength and reaction, but also all the senses seem to have become more acute. It's just that he knows that he has been strengthened, but he doesn't know where his limits are, so he can't be sure how much he has improved.

Moreover, these passive enhancement buffs are not really the point, the real focus is actually on those magic abilities that need to be actively used-

Of course, Mo Chen, who had just received the gift of the Outsider, was far from mastering the anti-heaven skill of "Time Warp", and what he currently seemed to possess was only the two most basic standard abilities.

The first is about the "perceptual" aspect.

After using it, it will further strengthen its own sensory perception, and can better observe the surrounding environment, and can use the pulses that appear every once in a while to identify targets through obstacles and grasp information.

The second is about the "mobile" aspect.

Able to teleport super-fast, flashing and teleporting from one place to another without being detected, as it is even able to move through obstacles, limited only by its own perception.

But no matter what, it's also a supernatural ability, a real magical power! No matter who you are, you can't help but get excited when you face such a situation, right?

Mo Chen was no exception, he kept looking at his left hand over and over again, repeatedly confirming the new power he had gained.

However, this situation did not last long, and soon he was back to reality, after all, now is not the time to think about this at all.

Hearing the sound of shooting, explosions, and cries coming from all sides of the city, you should know what you need to do first, even if it is the first time that a gun enthusiast is exposed to real guns on the battlefield, you should first consider your own situation.

The most important thing to do is to use firearms to help you get out of trouble, rather than studying the knowledge and aesthetics of firearms on the spot.

Weighing the pistol in his hand, and then pinning it to his waist, Mo Chen leaned over and picked up another city police officer knife on the ground, let out a long sigh, and raised his gaze to look above the roof in the distance.

To be precise, he looked at the top of the towering chimney.

I don't know why, he seems to be struggling with something, and he keeps taking deep breaths as if he is mentally preparing for something.

Until he finally made a decision, so he ...... In the next instant, his figure disappeared directly on the spot.

It seemed to flicker suddenly, and then appeared above the chimney.

"Hmm——!! Good risk, good risk......"

It was probably the first time to try such an experience, and he had no experience, Mo Chen stumbled and didn't stand firmly, and almost fell off it, but it was so dangerous that he stabilized.

He exhaled softly imperceptibly, then crouched down and leaned down, quickly scanning the smoky city in all directions with the advantage of his height.

And I'm still muttering in my heart, sure enough, the game is not reality, and the magic abilities given by the Outsider Mark are not something that can be easily mastered with a mouse or keyboard...... Keyboard warrior or something, in reality, there is really no future.

It was the first time he had used the ability to teleport, and he felt uncomfortable when he thought about it. Specifically, it is to confirm and lock a direction through one's own perception, and then pass directly in front of you.

There is no bump, no inertia, just the moment of space displacement, which will make people feel very abrupt, and the brain will have a slight feeling of dizziness and discomfort.

If you can't adapt, you won't be able to respond appropriately to the first time the teleportation is complete, just like you did just now.

If you go to a high place, you may fall directly, and if you want to rush directly to the enemy and want to kill, it is easy to give away your own life if you don't control it well......

And for now, Mo Chen can only move within the line of sight that can confirm the specific situation.

Perhaps, after using the magic ability of perception, it can be combined to further increase the range that teleportation can safely reach?

"Magic...... Well, can you use teleportation four times in a row, and the perception is also ......"

Feeling the amount of magic lost in his body, and then waiting for a while, he found that the magic power had been slowly recovering, and Mo Chen felt that his confidence was much more sufficient.

He withdrew his gaze, then looked at the mechanical heart he had been holding in his hand.

It was beating slowly but vigorously in its own hands, as if it was still alive, but it was a little cold to the touch. Mo Chen forcibly endured the slight tingling feeling on his scalp, and wanted to use this thing to search for nearby magic reactions.

This thing can lock the location of the ancient rune or the bone talisman, and before returning it to the original owner, Mo Chen plans to make good use of it.

- That's right, it wasn't his thing in the first place, and he felt that the reason why the Outsider put this heart with him didn't mean that he gave it to himself.

He just wanted to see what he would choose, and he was very interested in the chain reaction that followed.

Mo Chen just thought about it for a while, and decided that this thing must not be left behind, this is not an indispensable thing for himself, but it may make himself hostile to the legendary royal guard, or the legendary contemporary empress.

After all, this heart is the mastermind behind the solution to the threat of this coup d'état, and the key prop for the final big boss...... Things like being enemies of the protagonist are better left to someone else to do.

It's just that before returning it, maybe I can make full use of the function of this heart - the royal city of Danwall is about to fall, or it has fallen.

There are many valuable things in the city that should be ...... rather than let them fall into the hands of those rebels and thugs

Mo Chen looked at the heart in his hand, as if he had thought of something.
