9. New neighbors

This face is cold and tyrannical, and the facial muscles are all long.

> What? Doesn't it look great? ”

A very deep voice, as if speaking in a baritone, but the tone of the other person's voice makes it difficult to associate with this voice.

& Don!! My God! How is this possible?! ”

Gehr exclaimed as if he had seen something unbelievable, looking at the familiar face in astonishment.

&Look at my memory, I don't think I should have made this secret public, right? Sergeant Hood scratched his face in frustration and shook his hand to remove Pastor Gehr's head.

It was as easy as picking up a red apple from the table.

Reverend Gehr maintained a stunned expression, and a writhing green thorn also emerged from the headless corpse.

Flipping his head, Sergeant Hood shook his head and said, "Actually, I like this guy very much, but it's a pity that he is not religious enough for his belief in the 'Lord'. ”

Dole didn't speak, but looked carefully at the system prompts.

& Discover the Combat Component! ”

& Host access to combat components! ”

& Schematic diagram of the combat component, please pay attention to the host! ”

An image flashed through Dole's mind, which was exactly what the combat component looked like at this time.

Crimson, short thorns like a pig's tail. Completely rooted in Hood's spine, it rolls around Hood's neck like a scarf.

& Love your new scarf, did your mom choose it for you? Crimson doesn't seem to work for you. Dole said with a smile as his eyes fell on Hood's neck.

Sheriff Hood, who was full of gangsterism and even a little lazy, suddenly stared at him! A wolf-like gaze swept over Dole. Killing intent burst out from him irrepressibly.

& For a lamb, you know too much! "Hood's killing intent surged. It's going to destroy this guy who makes him hate.

&Can you ask a question? How did you get these people to believe in you? Did you lead the conflict between the reservation and the Jewish diocese? What exactly do you want to do? Subverting the government? Or do you want to be Pope XVIII? ”

&There are a lot of questions, but it's actually quite easy to summarize. The white light on Hood's body fluctuated a few times like water streaks. It means that the other party's mood has also changed slightly.

Hood took control of the Jewish diocese and reservation, and then manipulated the Red Bone Gang to carry out a bloody massacre of the Jewish diocese. As a result, the Light's Order, which had been slow, expanded to dozens of followers at once.

Hood had little interest in the pigtailed Indians on the reservation, but the Jews were old-fashioned. The long period of complacency makes it almost difficult for them to accept the outside.

Even the Order of Light, which was born from within the diocese, was met with great resistance and criticism.

After Hood obtained the combat component, the mutated combat component gave him a way to transform his faith into power. He uses false gods and patchwork doctrines to control the Light Society for the purpose of collecting faith.

As a result of the conflict between the two sides, the Light Order, which could be said to be unknown, suddenly became the spiritual backbone of a large number of young Jews. Although the real Holy See has sent a number of diocesan administrators to check what is going on here, the results are clearly not very good. At least the large number of missing persons has made the Holy See pay attention to the security and faith of the Jewish diocese.

& How do you get things? You can't buy it from a supermarket, do you? "Dore's soul power is surging, ready to fight the other party at any time.

Sheriff Hood flicked his fingers in the white light and glanced at Dole with some surprise, "How do you know that this thing is not my own?" Do you know any secrets? ”

Dole nodded, ready to scare the other party, "This thing should be called a combat component, right?" I also have one. ”

& There's one too? Is this thing still a mass-produced product? Hood was indeed shocked, but that was all, after all, he was a murderous and violent sheriff, and he quickly calmed down.

>> Companion, then I'll give you a chance. "Hood is not kind, he is going to try the other party's catties. The combat component implanted in his body tormented him like a nightmare. But it also gave him unparalleled strength.

Although it was fused with the combat component, he could feel that he couldn't completely control the combat component at all. Only a portion of the functionality is available. It felt like picking up a device with a secret and only being able to use the lowest level of functionality on the outside. The core competencies are locked.

But even so, Hood gained power that a normal human would not have been able to obtain in a lifetime. But people's hearts are greedy, so Hood did not hesitate to prepare to kill Dore. Snatch the combat components from the opponent's hands.

Since the other side knows so well, then surely even if there is no combat component. Knowing some secrets of the combat component, Hood was ready to use parasitic methods to control the other side first. I am slowly learning the information and secrets I want.

The figure flashed and kicked out of the ground, and Hood could barely see his movements, and he came to Dole at once.

Of course, Dore would not let the other party wreak havoc, and directly exploded his whole body soul power, and frantically attacked Hood.

Hood raised his hand, and a cloud of white light easily blocked Dole's attack, and even some rebound force shook his internal organs on Dole's body.

Dalton was shocked, and continued to frantically urge his soul power, concentrating on a certain point, wanting to break through Hood's defense just like breaking through Pastor Geer's defense.

But the effect is very insignificant, obviously Hood's protection is more thorough and strong, and it basically can't be broken by Dole's critical hits, at least with Dole's current soul power, it can't break the opponent.

Dole actually knew that he couldn't beat the other party, but if he didn't try, Dole couldn't sit still. Since you can't break it after trying, then it can only depend on luck.

Apparently luck was on Dole's side, as he had previously revealed a lot of secrets that only Sheriff Hood himself knew, so Sheriff Hood decided to drain Dole's surplus value, at least until he died. Be sure to learn more about the IQ treasures and secrets of the combat components.

The neck is cracked, as eerie as an eight-petaled flower opens. The crimson thorn inside was like a pig's tail. A body that writhes like a meat worm.

>> I know what's next, but I'll have to say it anyway. This thing is disgusting! I don't want my new clothes to get dirty!! ”

After Dole finished speaking, he immediately pounced on Sheriff Hood, making a posture ready to fight for his life.

Hood was fooled and threw out his strongest attack directly.

The crimson, pig-tail-like thorn instantly drilled out of Hood's neck and stabbed into Dole's body like a sharp sword.

Dole dodged 'hard' but was still stabbed!!

But Hood didn't look happy, for he noticed the smile that had unintentionally welled up in Dole's eyes.

&Ghost!! Fooled!! ”

He tried to pull back the thorns, but found that the thorn strips that had been like fingers were like electric toys that had lost their batteries, and they didn't respond to Hood's instructions at all.

Hood's ghost is in danger. Speechless in astonishment, he basically lost his combat capability.

With a hard pull, Dole pulled the crimson thorns attached to Hood's body completely.

& Touch the combat components! ”

& Complete the trigger quest to reward a Variety Orb and 1 Spirit Points! ”

& Combat Component Restructured Formatting! ”

& Combat Component Fusion! ”

The crimson thorn slowly melted like a noodle, completely integrated into Dole's body.

Hood was like a bandit and hooligan who had been taken to his lair, and he was so frightened that he ran straight outside. He was well aware of the power of the combat component, which had helped him sweep away the entire Red Bone Gang and suppress all the mob in the reservation.

In fact, the power of the combat component is not even a tenth of it. When he first fused into Hood's body, he had a very unsettling sense of repulsion, and he had to collect a lot of faith power in order to mobilize the abilities and power of the combat component slightly.

Hood can be said to be deeply touched. If it weren't for the combat component, he would have died no one more times, and it would have been impossible for him to fool so many parishioners of the Jewish diocese into believing in himself.

Don't say anything else. Speaking of the large number of scouts sent by the Holy See alone, many of them are mutants.

Their abilities are almost bizarre. Basically, everything you can think of, and everything you can't think of, comes up.

But in front of the Hood combat component. It's simply a fragile commodity. So after losing the combat component, Hood thought of not fighting, but escaping, as long as he could escape, as long as he could survive, Hood felt that he should celebrate this luck.

It's a pity that the fusion of the combat components only took a few tens of seconds. For Hood, it can basically be said that the combat component that was barely used was finally exerted in the hands of Dole.

& Combat Component Restoration Sequence! ”

> Battle Analysis, Battle Enchantment, and Skill Optimization are all available! ”

& Combat components mutated! ”

& Combat Component Fusion with Thorn Head Ring, is it going to continue? ”

The hint was a bit messy, but Dole knew what to do first.

When the soul power was surging, Dole's figure shot out, swept over a large shadow, and stabbed directly into the back of Hood's head!!

&

A very rounded wound that evaporated Hood's brain almost instantly!!

&Pass! ”

Hood fell to the ground and died!

Dole looked around and saw that there was no one, and then he took a closer look at his combat components.

The combat component has mutated, somehow come into contact with the contemporary Holy See relics, and according to the self-operation mode of the combat component, it seems that the Thorn Head Ring has been assimilated.

However, because of the lack of system permission settings, it is only basically fused with the holy relics, but in fact, the inner essence has not changed.

It is said that the mutation of the combat component is because the combat component with the power of faith has actually begun to prepare for the complete fusion of the thorn head ring with water milling.

& The Holy See is not allowed to send someone to investigate here, not because it is a matter of uncommon converts, but because it is tracking down the whereabouts of the Thorn Ring! ”

As the mystery gradually unraveled, Dole had no impression of it, at most it was just a group of parishioners with divine attributes.

&Bottom Fusion Relic!! ”

Now that it's already in hand. There's no way Doll would be stupid enough to return things to the Holy See.

& Relic fusion please later! ”

With system permissions, the power of the combat component is completely unfolded. The holy relic, which had to be suppressed with faith power, suddenly lost its ability to resist and quickly merged with the combat component.

& Combat Components and Relic Fusion Completed! ”

& Battle Component Activation! ”

& Scan the host body please later! ”

A white glimmer flashed. Dole's body was quickly scanned.

& Skill Analysis> starts

The speed of skill resolution was slow, and Dole had to go back home to see how Natasha and Ben were doing.

Natasha was already unconscious, and by this time, Dole and the others didn't bother to hide their identities directly, which scared the Patty family into looking at Dole strangely.

Directly took out a few drops of the active energy liquid that had just accumulated in the past two days, poured a little diluted active energy liquid into the unconscious Natasha, and then applied a thin layer of dilution of the active energy liquid to her face.

The effect was very obvious, and by the next day, the blisters on Natasha's face had actually shrunk a lot. The red skin, which used to look like a boiled egg, is also showing signs of improvement. After coming to her senses, Natasha knew that Dole had helped her save her face, and secretly made a decision.

& Skill analysis is over! ”

In the middle of the night, Dole suddenly heard a system prompt, and quickly opened his eyes to check the analyzed skills.

Highland Physical Technique: Based on mental ability, through special movements, the mental power is transformed into an energy body that can be accepted by the body. This energy stimulates and optimizes the body's cells, gradually increasing the host's three-dimensional stats. (Optimisable)

Critical Hit: Detonates the soul power in the body, causing the explosive growth of the three attributes, with a time limit. (Optimisable)

& Optimization skills will occupy a lot of system resources, please choose carefully! ”

Dole didn't quite understand what this system resource meant. Immediately raised his own questions.

& A large number of system resources are occupied, and the whole system will be in a semi-paralyzed state! ”

& How long does it take to optimize Geosphere and Critical Hits? ”

> Highland Physiognomy takes 584 days, and critical hits take 9 >

Dole was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed.

Don't look at the amount of time it takes. But it is foreseeable that once the optimization is completed, the power of the skill will not be a small increase.

& Crit! ”

& Optimized Critical Hit Skills. Are you sure? ”

&Set! ”

> Skill Critical Hit Optimization Begins"

The whole system suddenly dimmed, as if it had lost its vitality. Questions about Dole and posting of tasks have all been stopped.

Fortunately, the active space can still be opened. Although the inside is now empty, only a thin layer of red sand and vo soil. But Dole was confident that he would be able to recover slowly

On the third day, Dore and Natasha left the parish.

After all, his identity was exposed, and soon the federal government and mutants would hunt him down, and for his own safety and the safety of the Patti family, Dole still left.

The three of them completely changed their faces at this time, and the rewarded Variety Orb could change ten faces every day.

Dole turned into a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. Natasha also covered her delicate face with a freckled face. Ben fulfilled his wish to become a little white face and became a handsome and strong man.

Ben and Dole are people with little roots, but Natasha is a representative of the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, and actually finds a few pieces of buried gold and diamonds in a hidden sewer.

These are all prepared by Natasha for herself, but I didn't expect it to really help a lot!

With the money, the trio inquired about the current news about superheroes and mutants through secret channels.

A large number of superheroes disappeared at the same time, which has caused panic and alarm among mutants.

& The mutant school founded by Professor has almost disappeared from everyone's sight, and everyone doesn't know if it was exterminated by the government, or if Professor X himself went into hiding.

The righteous side has disappeared, but Magneto and Doctor Doom have become the main force in the rebellion against the government's federal purge.

It's a very ironic reality that superheroes protect the population. But they were imprisoned in cages and became ornamental objects of the government. The evil villain is in constant friction and conflict with the government for the future of mutants and transcendent humans.

In addition to these big things, there are those rumors about the superhero's family. They don't seem to be being harassed by the government. Maybe it's also worried that those escaped mutant dogs jumped off the wall.

The trio left the main city of New York City in hiding and took refuge on Staten Island.

Staten Island is also part of New York City though. But because of the coast, it is no more prosperous than the downtown area of New York.

It is a great place for tourism and vacation, so various vineyards and resort hotels abound.

Using fake documents made by Natasha, they rented a small vineyard in a very remote location

Pillars of light shone into the dappled room, a vineyard on the outskirts of Staten Island.

The room is not big, and the furnishings inside are not very special. Only the old and quaint wine cabinet is still somewhat interesting.

Dole stretched, very comfortable in the warm sun.

&

A crispy groan sounded from the side. A snow-white pink arm encircled Dore's chest.

& Love, what do we have for today? ”

Natasha completely regained her delicate face, clinging to Dole's back, and the smooth skin felt slightly hot to Dole's lower body.

After completely healing the burns on Natasha's face, the other party sneaked into Dole's bedroom that night, ready to 'repay the favor' to this good gentleman!

In the face of the beautiful woman who took the initiative to send it to the door, Dole really couldn't say no words.

A night of spring breeze.

Natasha originally had the mentality of repaying the favor, so she didn't expect anything from Dole, but things often happen by chance.

Dole's physical strength, Dole's energy. Dole's technology, Dole's fit with himself

Natasha didn't expect that Dole, who looked ordinary on the outside, would be so wealthy. The staying power is also far beyond that of normal men, at least Natasha couldn't lift her eyelids at all the next day.

Conquer and be conquered. It's that simple. Natasha, who has always been based on the character of Mustang and never let love bother her, put forward a reasonable request for mutual comfort.

Dole gladly accepted, and as soon as he came, he said that he was in love with each other. Obviously not very realistic.

The vineyard is not large, with large vines and cellars. It's the whole plantation.

This is not a tourist plantation, but a real winemaking base with a focus on growing grapes.

The grapes are not tasty. That's what Ben and Natasha had to say after trying it.

Because of the season, a batch of growing grapes here has become the main way for the three of them to pass the extra time.

He wasn't a guy who could calm down and tidy up the grape planting, so on the second day, he went out on a trip around the island with a sum of money.

Just spread out, it can also confuse the federal investigation, and it can also make Ben change his mood, and by the way, ask about the news about mutants and superheroes around him.

After getting up, washing, and eating, Natasha went out to buy some new farming tools, while Dole stayed in the plantation to experiment with the effects of the active energy solution.

There is almost no area in the active space now, and there is not even a desk in it, and if you want to expand, it is unlikely in the near future, because most of the system resources have been used to optimize the crit.

The space cannot be expanded, and the planting area is about less than half a square area, and not even a single Chinese cabbage can be planted, so it can only be put aside for the time being.

However, due to the restoration of the system's main capabilities, the collection of energy liquids after the repair has reached the previous level.

After a few days of experimentation, Dole found the optimal ratio of the energy solution, and then began to spray the active energy solution in the grape plantations that had already grown young shoots.

The purchase of farm tools and some fertilizer raw materials went smoothly, and there is a large supermarket specializing in building materials and plantations nearby, which is enough to meet the needs of building materials and plantations in the area.

Natasha returned with a cart of tools and necessities, said hello and hid in the house.

Dole began to organize the tools and then inspected the cellar.

There were a few bottles of wine left in the cellar, all of which were of poor quality, and the good ones had long since been taken away by the landlord.

Dole tried to add some energy to it, but it didn't work. It seems that the active energy liquid only works on living organisms.

&Are you new neighbors? ”

Dole was tending the vines when he heard a brake sound at the plantation gate, and a young woman with blond hair leaned out of the car and waved at Dole.

Dole walked up to her with a smile and glanced at the other person slightly. This is a very healthy and beautiful young girl, even when sitting in the car, you can see that she is full of youth. (To be continued......)
