Chapter 31: Another Self
At the police station, Edward sensed the change in the door of truth.
At that time, Edward had doubts about the sudden changes in the Gate of Truth, and then he had a guess that the complete awakening of the Gate of Truth was not only related to the development of the brain.
To confirm the speculation. In the days that followed, Edward went out early and returned late, changing his appearance, going in and out of different restaurants, and consuming a huge amount of food.
Supplying the body with a large amount of energy, Edward underwent a dramatic change. And then, as his body changed, the Gate of Truth also underwent a new transformation, confirming his conjecture.
The door of truth is not only related to the development of one's own brain, but also closely related to one's own body.
"Strong, or rather, evolutionary ......"
Staring at the ground, covered with a layer of silver frost, Edward's blue eyes shimmered with a faint light.
Edward was very clear about his state of life. Far beyond the metabolic speed of ordinary people, he brought huge trouble to himself and shortened his life to a limit.
On the other hand, vigorous metabolism and frequent division and differentiation of cells are making cells stronger, a kind of strength at the cellular level.
The cells in Edward's body are like a person who exercises to the limit, and by constantly tempering his body, he has become far stronger than ordinary people.
This is true for intact people, and the same is true for individual cells.
"Extreme life activities, make your cells stronger."
"It seems that in order to fully awaken the door of truth, you need not only to develop your own brain to 10 percent. I also need to have a strong body. ”
Knowing this, Edward was afraid for a while.
In the past, he believed that in order to awaken the door of truth, he needed a super brain that could process a large amount of information. To do this, he devotes a lot of energy to the development of the brain by interfering with the metabolism of the whole body.
However, this is not the case.
Now it seems that the human body is a whole. And the Gate of Truth is another form of existence of this living being, a more abstract existence, another self.
His overall strength is the basis for the existence of the Gate of Truth.
"If it weren't for the previous accident, I might have waited until I died, and I wouldn't have been able to awaken the door of truth......"
"The awakening of the Gate of Truth, in addition to the development of the brain, requires a strong body and even a higher form of life existence......"
"In the past, I had been suppressing the other cells in my body, reducing the rate of cell renewal as much as possible, in order to buy myself more time, but now that I think about it, I am completely wrong. I'm pushing myself to a dead end. ”
In these few short days, Edward did not limit his cells, but on the contrary, he continued to supply sufficient nutrients, and he could feel that the cells in his whole body had become stronger. And the strong cells, it seems that the lifespan is enhanced.
In other words, the time to maintain peak life activity is extended. Stronger cells can maintain that intense metabolic rate. Don't rely on that crazy update speed anymore.
This discovery made Edward's mind very complicated. In the past, in order to ensure that the metabolism of his cells was used for the development and development of the brain as much as possible, he had been a waste person for more than ten years.
Don't do strenuous activities, maintain emotional stability, etc., and reduce the consumption of your life activities as much as possible. Even if it is to learn knowledge, it is for the use of the brain and to promote brain development......
But now I found that the previous approach was not right, not only was it useless, but it also pushed me further to a dead end. If this continues, all that awaits him is death.
Although I know that I have done useless work in the past. But he does not regret that the acquisition of any power is not simple. It is not surprising that we paid with our lives for this.
Equivalent exchange is the truth of the world.
Of course, if he had found out earlier, maybe he wouldn't have had to be so passive.
It's not too late......
"But before that, I need money, a lot of money." Edward's brow furrowed.
During these days, Edward changed his appearance, eating and replenishing his nutrition in different restaurants, for which he spent a lot of money.
Thinking that in just a few days, he spent $10,000 just to supplement his own nutrition and meet his metabolic needs. The amount of money spent in the future is definitely astronomical.
"I can't help but spend money~ It's time to find some people to 'borrow money'." Looking up at the outside of the house, the pitch-black void, Edward said quietly.
In the past few days, Edward has not only verified his own conjectures, but also thought about ways to get money.
Robbery, which comes quickly in the short term, is a good way.
In the slums of New York, there is never a shortage of bad guys in the dark night. And those bad guys are Edward's targets.
Just do what you say.
After making sure that the three of them were asleep, Edward opened the window and jumped out, melting into the night.
It's late at night, but for many people in New York, life has just begun.
The night in New York is a strange exuberance.
Edward, got out of the taxi and stopped by the road for a while. Looking at the prosperous streets, the faces are full of excited people, speeding cars, slowly moving their feet, walking in, blending in.
The thriving street is full of people and vehicles. It was like a muddy river, flowing straight ahead. On the sidewalk, Edward was like a drop of water, blending into the crowd, into the murky river. Edward, who was in the crowd, began to slowly change the breath of his whole body, and the originally distinct breath became one with the crowd at this moment.
In the blink of an eye, the original teenager disappeared. In his place was a decadent-looking youth. Blending into the crowd, Edward quietly disguised himself.
After the change, Edward did not have the slightest discomfort, and the image of a decadent youth was exactly the same. Mixed with the flow of people, he walked aimlessly, his eyes were blank, and his face was tired and decadent.
After a while, the decadent young man seemed to be tired, and naturally left the crowd, walked to a corner, paused slightly, changed direction, and turned into an alley.
Silver moonlight, very bright. But it didn't shine in this dark corner, Edward stood there quietly, his eyes twinkling into the alley not far away. With well-developed eyesight, I can vaguely see several figures shaking inside.
The suppressed screams, the sound of fists hitting flesh, all this clearly reached his ears. Edward watched all this with a calm face.
Stand there silently. It's like waiting for something......
