"I can tell you the results, but before you do, you have to answer me a question first."

It seemed that he had already guessed that Ye Yu would have such doubts, Lou Yue did not show much surprise, but dragged a chair next to him and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"I didn't ask a few days ago because of your physical condition, since you took the initiative to bring it up, then I need you to tell me first, what happened during your investigator exam." Lou Yue looked at Ye Yu on the hospital bed, and there was an invisible pressure hidden in his calm tone.

"When you were sent back for first aid, you were completely unconscious, and your life was hanging by a thread, it is said that if someone hadn't dealt with you in the examination room at the beginning, I'm afraid you wouldn't have the life to talk to me here now."

In other words, I almost couldn't come back......? Ye Yu thought silently, and couldn't help but feel palpitations.

"And an acute shock like yours is bound to be the result of excessive squeezing of the body in the short term." Lou Yue continued. "Although there is a certain amount of pressure on the exams you have gone through before, in terms of your physical condition, those experiences will not have such a bad impact on your body, so there must be other reasons......

Lou Yue looked directly at Ye Yu, seeing that the latter was a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but look away, but these small movements still did not escape Lou Yue's keen gaze.

"Looks like you're hiding something from me." In Lou Yue's dark eyes, the sense of oppression became more and more intense.

"Uh...... I ......" Ye Yu lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Lou Yue, and suddenly felt a little slumped.

"It's okay if you don't say it, I'll naturally investigate thoroughly." Lou Yue looked at Ye Yu's expression, and something cold flashed in his eyes. "I was the one who sent you to the exam in the first place, so I have to be responsible for you. If it turns out that other candidates have used improper means to put your life in danger, I will naturally 'take care of' them......"

"No, no, it's okay with others! It's my own sake......" Ye Yu hurriedly denied it, but his heart was a mess - because he didn't know how to explain it at all.

Let's be honest. In fact, Ye Yu didn't count the "reason" that caused him to almost die, but he didn't think about it all the time, and he was afraid to think about it.

Because in the final analysis, it is caused by the "abnormality" of his own body.

That's right, just when I was chased and killed by "devouring" and fell into the trap of "virtual reality", "mutations" began to happen again and again.

His eyes were blood-red, and his strength skyrocketed. Even...... Loss of mind.

Ye Yu still vaguely remembered the fierce burst of hot energy in his chest shortly after biting the tip of his tongue when he was chased and killed by "Fake Xiaoyan" in "Virtual Reality", and his almost crazy state.

Because that state almost caused him to fall off the building and die, Ye Yu was actually quite taboo in his heart, but then whether it was the time when Xiao Yan was kidnapped by Wu Xuebing, the time when he climbed out of the skeleton room in the Zheng family's villa, or even the time when he escaped from Dr. Yan, that scorching energy always helped him at the most critical time, so for Ye Yu, who was robbed repeatedly. This energy is both a "taboo" and a "savior".

And through the previous experiences, Ye Yu found that he was more and more able to control this energy, so as not to go out of his mind. So at that critical juncture when rescuing Shinoru. A crazy thought instantly germinated in Ye Yu's mind, he wanted to 'actively summon' that energy again—through a way of 'self-harm', because Ye Yu found that every time his body 'changed' in the past. Both are accompanied by two conditions:

First, my spirit is highly stressed, and secondly...... It's bloodshed.

Although Ye Yu is not 100% sure of this. But under the circumstances, he didn't care so much, and the row of bloody tooth marks on his arm was his final decision.

In fact, he did "summon successfully", but what he didn't expect was that this "active summoning" brought about an unexpected result in addition to the energy of "mutation......

"You're almost dead." Lou Yue stared at Ye Yu with a tangled face, his face was as cold as frost. "I don't know what you're afraid of, but for the sake of your own life, I hope you don't hide anything from me."

“…… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I really don't know what to say......" Ye Yu sighed, and after thinking about it again, he finally opened his mouth and told Lou Yue about the 'mutation' of his body......

……

"That's the way it is......" Ye Yu carefully observed Lou Yue's expression. It may be hard to believe, but it did happen a few times, so I just took a gamble at that time, but I didn't expect ......"

"According to you, the first time this kind of 'mutation' occurred was when he was kidnapped by Wu Xuebing and fell into 'virtual reality', right?" Lou Yue listened to Ye Yu's narration and lowered his head to think.

"That's right." Ye Yu nodded. "At that time, you said that my 'Expulsor' constitution had 'evolved', so I was able to break through 'Virtual Reality' and be immune to such traps from now on."

"If that's the case, maybe the 'abnormal energy' you are talking about is also the result of that 'physique evolution'." Lou Yue raised her head and looked at Ye Yu again. "If you accidentally bleed, will there be such a mutation?"

"Not really, bleeding seems to be only one of the conditions that trigger that state, and as I said earlier, it only happens when it is both at the same time and in a very critical situation, which means that the mind has to be tense to a certain extent."

Lou Yue pondered quietly, her brows gradually tightened, and she didn't know what she was thinking; And Ye Yu is like a patient waiting for a doctor's diagnosis, and his heart can't help but go up and down.

"That...... Does this have something to do with my 'Expulsor' constitution? And my ability to heal myself faster and faster after the last few injuries, is this also because of my physique...... ”

"As it should be. In fact, scientifically speaking, the human body contains huge potential, including strength, bodily functions, healing ability, etc., and this potential is less than 5% used by most people, and most of the potential is dormant. Lou Yue said slowly.

"Under normal circumstances, these potential abilities are suppressed by our own body, like a 'control door lock', which is in a 'closed' state all year round, and only briefly 'opens' when stimulated by a critical moment, bursting out those potential powers, but this is only 'occasionally'. However, for you, this 'control lock' seems to be broken. ”

"'Broken' ......??" Ye Yu's eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Yes, it may be that your 'Expulsor' constitution has evolved after the previous 'virtual reality' trap, causing your body to be unable to completely suppress its latent power, which is why those 'mutations' have occurred; And the 'burning energy' you feel can be seen as those hidden potentials in your body. ”

"In other words, the reason why there are those 'abnormalities' is because of the stimulation in the 'virtual reality' that activated the potential 'energy' in the body?" Ye Yu muttered to himself, but a trace of doubt passed through his heart.

Speaking of which, in fact, that "energy" ...... It seems to have appeared a long time ago. Just when he first met Lou Yue and was tried to search his brain, a strange energy appeared in his body, and all the interventions that invaded his brain were expelled, although there was no red eye at that time, but it was true that the feeling of energy surge was very similar to the subsequent 'abnormal change'.

What the hell is this...... What's ...... situation??

Ye Yu thought about it, and felt more and more headaches, so he simply put the doubt behind him, and at the same time raised a new question.

"If you say that, I can be considered 'Superman', right?" Ye Yu smiled self-deprecatingly. "That's a 'potential barrier' that ordinary people can't break through, and it seems that I have to thank them for giving me this 'good gift'."

"Heh, Superman...... Is it? Lou Yue raised his head and looked directly at Ye Yu, there was no joy in his eyes, but a faint worry surging in his eyes. Do you know why the human body has such a 'control switch'? ”

"This ......"

"This is a natural generation of human beings over a long period of evolution, and its purpose is to ensure one of the basic needs of human beings – that is, 'survival.'" Lou Yue is colorful.

“…… Survive? ”

"Everything in the world survives because of 'energy'. A person obtains "energy" through daily diet to maintain the functioning of his or her own functions; And because human cells are constantly providing "energy" conversion for the body, they are also constantly aging and dying in metabolism, once the cells are unable to convert "energy" for the body, the main body will die after consuming the remaining "energy". Therefore, we can say that the 'energy' in the human body is limited in life, and if the body does not control it and allows the 'energy' to explode and pass at will, then the results can be imagined. ”

"You mean, if you overdraw your body's 'energy' in advance...... The human body will ......" Ye Yu suddenly understood what Lou Yue wanted to express, and his voice became a little trembling. "Then I almost hung up this time, is it because I overdrew the body's 'energy' at that time, causing my body to be unable to function for a while?"

"Yes, the Inquisitor Exam is an extremely mentally and physically demanding test, and you are undoubtedly killing yourself by forcibly overdrawing your physical potential under such circumstances." Lou Yue stared at Ye Yu and said word by word.

"I ...... This ......" Ye Yu didn't know what to say for a while/

"If you want something, you have to pay for it...... Equivalent exchange is an eternal truth of nature. Lou Yue muttered softly, not knowing what he thought, his eyes were a little empty in an instant.

"And the price you pay for forcibly overdrawing those potentials...... It's your lifespan. (To be continued.) )
