Beneath that layer of polluted black mud were a dense wriggling myriad of red worms, which frantically gnawed at the remains of Heman's white bones, and at the same time formed a strange flesh and blood tissue to sustain his life.

But the picture that Cheng Shen saw was directly through such a curious appearance, receiving the strong pheromones emitted by those red insects.

Strange,

twist

crazy

Indescribable.

All kinds of chaotic information suddenly impacted Cheng Shen's consciousness, making his perception seem to be bursting!

Immediately retracting his mental touch, Cheng Shen's consciousness body fluctuated unsteadily in mid-air, and after a while, it gradually became calm. He caught a familiar smell in the rush of the frantic flow of information.

It was the power of the remains of the gods!

Cheng Shen didn't dare to look at it more, even the spiritual strength of his body couldn't look directly at the remains of that ancient god through the memory screen, let alone the fragile recognition he was now.

If it weren't for the strength that remained on He-Man's body, it would not be one-ten-thousandth of the remains.

Cheng Shen was afraid that he would collapse directly the moment he saw his real body!

"The sick ghost of the deserted village originated from the remains of that god......?" His mind settled, and then he thought, "The deserted village originated from a group of displaced people from the old city, which means that the real source is still the ...... of that city."

"What happened to that body that would make the inhabitants of the city look like this...... What the hell did those unbelievers do?! ”

He still feels palpitations when he thinks back to that feeling.

Consciousness sinks.

Cheng Shen gradually felt that the void soul was wrapped in a layer of cold and tight substance, the flow of blood, the creaking sound between the gears, and the noise occupied all his perception for a moment.

And then it suddenly converged.

Airplanes!

A pair of eyes on Cheng Shen's face, which had all been replaced with crystals, lit up.

Creak!

He sat up from the operating table, and there was the sound of metal grinding in at least a dozen parts of his body. This transformation operation is to completely replace his body parts, and the degree of deification has exceeded 85%!

In addition to the two important structures of the heart and the brain, the other organs of this body have basically been replaced with special deification parts.

However, this kind of deification part is not the same as the puppet parts in the conventional sense, and some are like flesh and blood demon puppets, a strange state of symbiosis between flesh and machine, but the apotheosis technology is obviously more complete.

Cheng Shen couldn't help but wonder if the mutilated flesh and blood demon puppet information he obtained was originally a branch of research in the apotheosis experiment?

He didn't think much of it.

Open your dashboard.

He was very satisfied with the attributes of this newly replaced body.

He-Man also made a bloody investment, and concentrated on transforming the excellent deified parts that he had been reluctant to use before on Cheng Shen's body, transforming his body, which was originally just an ordinary person, to the leader level!

Compared to the strength of his body, it is naturally far behind.

But enough is there here.

"You're awake!?"

Cheng Shen was still familiar with the functions of this new body when he heard He-Man's voice of surprise.

His form had been restored to its original form, and the horrific images on his body were once again wrapped in a thick strip of white cloth.

Cheng Shen didn't feel the power that drove him crazy anymore.

The inconspicuous strip of cloth seemed to be an artifact that could isolate the influence of the power of the gods, but Cheng Shen still thought more about the layer of polluted black mud covered by He-Man, and couldn't help but guess a little more in his heart.

"How are you feeling? Is there a ...... A...... Unique feelings!? ”

Seaman didn't know how to describe it.

"Nope."

Cheng Shen shook his head.

"No!?"

He-Man was stunned for a moment, his dull voice suddenly raised, and he was as sickly as he was at a loss at the moment, "How can there be no change?" How could it be that there had been no change? You must have missed something critical! ”

He's going to pounce.

"You lie down! I'll help you check your body carefully! ”

Zheng!

On Cheng Shen's arm covered with black lines, a sharp blade suddenly extended, and the blade was aimed at He-Man, and the cold breath made his footsteps stop in place suddenly. But He-Man's eyes grew wild.

"Who told you that the success of the apotheosis experiment must have changed?"

Cheng Shen said.

This question made Seaman, who was on the verge of going berserk, slightly stunned.

"No one...... But, it's ......."

He muttered.

The 70% threshold of the Apotheosis Transformation Experiment has been stuck for countless years for the alchemists of their generation, and they have used all the methods they can think of, and the test subjects consumed can even use the corpse mountain as a unit of measurement!

But it's true that no one has ever told them that as long as they break through this threshold, there will definitely be unique changes?

Seaman was suddenly discouraged.

He didn't think at this time that it was because of Cheng Shen's own special situation, after all, the secret method of the Demon Soul Thousand Bodies was not such a common thing in itself.

And the parasitic spirits that can also do this are extremely rare.

He-Man has been doing decades of research and has faced countless subjects who are only ready to be killed.

His thoughts and cognition are also confined to this field.

"What is the purpose of your research on the apotheosis experiment?"

Cheng Shen asked again.

"To achieve ideological immortality......"

He-Man replied subconsciously, and then, his eyes calmed down, as if he had suddenly figured out the crux of the matter.

"I know, you must not have reformed thoroughly enough!"

He was sure.

That's right, although the results of Cheng Shen's experiment broke the bottleneck they had for many years.

But in the final analysis, it has only reached the level of apotheosis of 85%.

Not even 100%!

It has not yet reached the key shackles that cause qualitative change!

"Can you stay!" He-Man, who had figured this out, suddenly said with fiery eyes, "I will ask the lord to forgive you for all the sins you have committed here, as long as you can continue to be a test subject!" ”

"Trust me! If this experiment is successful, it will definitely turn all the rules system in this world upside down!

And you will hopefully become the first deity of the new era! ”

He was fanatical like a cultist.

No, the image should be removed, and what he did was fully worthy of the title of cult god.

"Impossible."

Cheng Shen decisively rejected him without thinking about it.

He knew his situation, and of course he understood that the hope that He-Man saw at the moment was just an illusion, not to mention that in all other aspects, Cheng Shen had countless good reasons to reject him. He's not going to be a guinea pig.

"You can try to keep me forcibly."

Seeing the swaying figure in the inner room, Cheng Shen said calmly.

Zheng!

The blade that stretched out from his forearm suddenly retracted, and Cheng Shen moved up as if no one was around, and after receiving the deification transformation, his consciousness and the degree of rejection of this body deepened again, and his actions were a little sluggish.

The feeling of controlling the puppet in the first person is also becoming more and more apparent.

Fortunately, Cheng Shen used to play a lot of first-person perspective games, and he usually controls the scout guards in this mode.

Able to adapt quickly.

Seaman looked at Cheng Shen's body, and his dark eyes swelled with longing.

He was still unwilling, and said in a deep voice: "You just need to hide in my place for a while!" I need to look at your body data and at least let me know where the key question for the success of this experiment is where it appears! ”

This condition is naturally impossible for Cheng Shen to agree.

But he didn't directly refuse.

In fact, if he hadn't just witnessed the terrifying truth of He-Man's true body, he would have already started to use his own means to ask him about the information he wanted to know, how could he still stand here and talk to him slowly?

As for saying that Grace will take revenge?

The premise is:

The other party did have good intentions to help him treat his injuries.

And the reason why Seaman helped him was not because he threw out information that the other party was interested in.

Again.

His purpose of helping himself to transform is not very kind.

"I'd like to know more about that village." Cheng Shen directly diverted the topic, "As I said at the beginning, I'm not going there to get your attention, but I have a reason to go."

The more detailed you can help me understand, if you have the conditions, I will try my best to help you complete it. ”

"Sick Village ......"

He-Man suddenly struggles violently, and he is caught between the apotheosis experiment and his own obsession.

After a while, Seaman finally made a decision, he put down the scalpel he was clutching tightly, and said with mixed emotions: "Are you really going there?" ”

Cheng Shen responded to his question with a calm gaze.

"That village is already shrouded in nightmares......" He-Man was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly closed his mouth, as if he was afraid of something, he looked around cautiously, and then said, "I can't reveal much information." ”

"Is it the devil's curse?"

Cheng Shen recalled the strange man he caught in the sacrificial temple, and the other party was just about to speak, but he was killed by an unknown force.

He-Man did not respond.

It's as if he just mentions it and catches the other person's attention.

"Trouble."

Cheng Shen secretly pondered to himself, if he suddenly made a move, controlled He-Man, prevented the other party from releasing those red worms, and then dismantled the devil's restriction through soul stripping and other means...

At last.

He dismissed the thought anyway.

Regardless of whether the soulstripping technique is effective against the restriction of the devil.

The power from the remains of the gods alone was not something that his clone could deal with, and there was no benefit in making rash moves other than ending up in a situation where the fish was dead and his plans were disrupted.

"I can tell you a few taboos about it."

Seaman spoke.

"What taboo?"

Cheng Shen was ready to leave.

"Don't go out after dark...... Don't come near when you hear the singing...... Do not enter any room without windows...... Finally, and most importantly, don't trust anyone! Even if you meet me there! ”

Seaman said slowly.

"Humph......"

He seemed to have a way to prevent the devil's curse from taking effect, but it was extremely costly, and with every word he spoke, a large amount of filthy bodily fluids would ooze from his body, and in the blink of an eye, the strip of cloth he had just changed would be completely soaked again.

"Met you?"

Cheng Shen pondered the meaning of Seaman's words.

He had heard the same words from the mouth of the transcendent who had been killed by him.

However, the place mentioned by the other party is in the old city.

"Nightmare ......"

Cheng Shen thoughtfully.

"Could it be that there is some nightmare-born power in the Old City that will bring back people or things from the past? And the deserted village is also a part of the old city, and it has also been affected by this inexplicable power......"

He looked at Sea-Man, who shook his head weakly, apparently unable to provide him with any information.

"Name your terms."

Cheng Shen said.

If these taboos provided by Seaman are true, they will indeed help him a lot, this is a favor that is independent of previous grievances, although Cheng Shen is disgusted by what he has done, he doesn't want to owe him anything.

"To be honest, I don't think you can do it...... "Seaman has the only humanity in his eyes, "If you can find the souls of my wife and daughter, please take them away, or... Send them complete liberation. ”

“…… I see. ”

Cheng Shen nodded.

His previous guess was correct, the pair of corpse golems were very important to He-Man, and now he was not too surprised to receive this commission.

"You bring this."

He-Man then offered Cheng Shen another support, and he took out a silver-white one-piece robe, "This dress will prevent you from being watched by the Storm Lord in the castle, you...... Ask for more blessings. ”

He also seemed to know what Cheng Shen was going to do next.

Cheng Shen's face, which was already half partially transformed into metal, pulled out a stiff smile.

"That being the case,

We should be half partners now. ”

Seaman turned to look at him, unafraid of the plain meaning of his words, "I helped you, and I can expose you at any time, and you are not qualified to threaten me with this." ”

"How could I threaten you, you are now a partner entrusted to my wealth.

Don't worry, I just need a little help from you. ”

Cheng Shen said.

"I will never do anything for you in this castle."

Seaman was alarmed.

"No, just tell me what the other alchemists are good at and what weaknesses they have......

Also, I see that your lab has a lot of good stuff......"

Cheng Shen's tone was relaxed.

Soon, a tall figure wrapped in an embroidered silver-white robe quietly pushed the door open and left the laboratory.

Cheng Shen's two newly replaced eyeballs are like two bright light bulbs in the darkness where he can't see his fingers.

"Interestingly, there is actually a goblin mechanic expert among these alchemists...... Also, the goblin clan is a slave in captivity in the temple of sacrifice, and it is not an accident that their people will appear here. ”

Cheng Shen recalled a list that Seaman had given him.

Among them, the first to catch his attention was a mad scientist of the goblin clan.

That guy may have been locked underground for too long and his mind was completely distorted, so he turned around and joined the camp of the Sacrifice Temple, and then was sold to Storm Castle after several turnovers, and he did quite well here.

"That's you."

Cheng Shen walked towards Laboratory No. 7 without the slightest sound.

Knock knock!

He knocked on the door with his dark palm.
