Chapter 13: Changing Hearts

"I'm going to be the 'plague doctor'!?" Chu Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and the picture of nothing under the black robe of the masked monster flashed in his mind.

"That's right. 'Plague Doctor' is just a concept, a collection of pre-death wishes of a large number of beings who have died from reality distortions. The 'plague doctor' can be a mask, a robe, or a person. ”

As the masked stranger spoke, he suddenly grabbed Chu Cheng's neck, "As a 'plague doctor', my ability is to be able to suppress the distortion of reality by the mind, and the reason why I was able to erase your position of release before was also due to this principle, because the force field you released itself is the ripples formed by the distortion of reality by the mind. As long as you and I are one, the 'plague' that has spread throughout the containment base will lose its source, and the situation will not continue to deteriorate! ”

As the masked stranger spoke, the black robe on his body suddenly squirmed like a living thing, and a large amount of black filamentous matter was gathered in it like a meat worm, spreading rapidly towards Chu Cheng's neck, frantically trying to wrap Chu Cheng's body.

Chu Cheng struggled hard, but his body couldn't exert his strength at all. At this moment, the black robe on the masked monster, along with the mask, had completely turned into a strange wriggling thing, pressing Chu Cheng under him like a huge slug.

"Damn it!" Wrapped in the wriggling thing, Chu Cheng immediately used the master key, and his body rushed out directly from the inside of the wriggling thing under the constraints of a large number of mosaic cubes.

"Your methods are really peculiar, it seems that it is impossible to forcibly fuse you." Seeing Chu Cheng standing out of the encirclement, the wriggling thing quickly stood up and turned into the body of a masked monster again, "But if I kill you directly, your resentment before death is likely to cause the 'Hume Index' in the area to plummet, which will instead contribute to the outbreak of the 'plague', which is not easy to do." ”

The masked freak didn't attack again, but still chattered to himself, holding the masked chin with his hand, looking thoughtful.

It is also strange to say that although the masked monster had just attacked Chu Cheng, Chu Cheng did not feel the slightest malice and murderous intent on the other party's body.

"In that case, it is better to ...... How we join forces! Thinking of this, Chu Cheng thought for a moment, and suddenly spoke, "The purpose of your existence is to stop the spread of the plague, and I don't want my power to get out of control. At this point, you and I have the same purpose. You help me control my power, and let's get out of this base together! How is it? ”

"So, you're going to make a PY deal with me?" When the masked stranger heard this, he thought about it very seriously, and suddenly said, "Your idea seems to be feasible." ”

As the masked freak spoke, his body suddenly lost its support and fell directly to the ground, turning into a black robe and a mask.

"Put me on. I'm here to help you control the power in your body. There was a sound from under the mask, and the picture was ghostly no matter how you looked at it.

"Uh......" Chu Cheng hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't step forward.

"Oh, what? What are you worried about? A somewhat mocking voice came from under the mask, "It's obviously your own proposal, why did you hesitate." Even if I attack you again, you can repeat what you did and run away. ”

"I was mocked by a mask." Chu Cheng was a little helpless, but he had to admit that the other party's words were indeed reasonable.

Looking at the surrounding doors and walls that seemed to be melting, Chu Cheng finally picked up the robe from the ground. He also wanted to know if the other party's previous words were true, and he ...... Is it the source of the distortion of the world's components?

Holding the robe in his hand and checking it, Chu Cheng picked up the mask from the ground again, and then he had time to look at himself.

Chu Cheng found that the blood hole that ran through his chest before had been repaired by unknown means. Chu Cheng could feel that in his chest, there was a heart beating, but it was obviously not his original heart!

In addition, Chu Cheng also noticed that the LCL formed by the melting of the Immortal Lizard body had disappeared at some point, and I don't know if it had evaporated naturally or was used for some other purpose......

"What have you done to me? I mean...... What kind of surgery did you do on me? Thinking of this, Chu Cheng hurriedly asked about the robe and mask in his hand.

"What kind of surgery could it be. You're missing a big chunk of your heart and lungs, and if I don't make it up for you, you're going to die. Anyway, do you want to join forces with me, why are there so many problems? Immediately, a voice came from under the mask, and there was a slight resentment in the voice.

"Help me make it up? What did you use? Chu Cheng immediately grasped the point of the other party's words, it was about him, and it was impossible for him to ignore it.

"What else could it be? The flesh and blood of the immortal lizard! Although it has melted into LCL, it is not difficult to cultivate a fresh heart from it with my means. ”

The voice under the mask said proudly, "By the way, this heart in your chest is fused with all the flesh and blood essence of the Immortal Lizard itself, and even I don't know how powerful it is." Maybe if you succeed in fusing it, you'll gain the immortality of an immortal lizard. Fortunately, your body is relatively compatible, otherwise even if I save you, your body will be burst by this heart. ”

"Won't you destroy the flesh of the lizard? Sure enough. Hearing this, Chu Cheng took a deep breath. When he saw the LCL disappear on the ground, he guessed what the other party had done.

Draping the black robe on his body and putting on the eagle beak mask, Chu Cheng's eyes suddenly widened, and the world in his eyes had completely changed at this moment......

Information that can now be made public:

"Hume index" is a concept proposed by Huaya Heavy Industry in the early years to measure the stability of reality.

According to the parameter measurement standard of Huaya Heavy Industry, the "Hume index" of the basic reality is about 1, and the materialistic and idealistic components that constitute the reality are in a relatively balanced state.

A decrease in the "Hume index" means that the idealistic component of reality begins to increase, and the structure of reality begins to gradually lose its stability. The lower the Hume index, the more distorted the structure of reality is, and the more dangerous it is.

According to the current theory of Huaya Heavy Industry, the drop of the "Hume index" to 0 is a theoretical extreme, and it is not yet possible to predict what kind of terrifying phenomenon will be caused when the "Hume index" is 0.

As for the situation that the "Hume index" is less than 0, it is considered impossible by Huaya Heavy Industries. Therefore, discussing the negative value of the "Hume index" is considered meaningless by Huaya Heavy Industries.
