Chapter Fifty-Nine: Oh, Mom, my hand slipped and scratched the painting

"Even such things as talent and extraordinary potential can be erased?" Wu Ming's face was full of surprise when he heard Mia's explanation, he was not surprised or questioned the ability of the containment object or Mia's description, but he was wondering a more practical question: "How to erase this abstract and intangible thing?" ”

If this eraser can theoretically be used to erase the excess extraordinary potential of Lin Jiaojiao's body, and there are no big side effects, then the first problem he has to face is: how to use the actual eraser to erase an intangible and substantial abstract thing.

Mia's answer was somewhat unexpected: "By imagination." ”

"Huh?" Wu Ming's thoughts couldn't keep up with Mia's rhythm for a while, and he almost wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Seeing that his face was full of doubts, Mia, who had already been surprised, directly explained the use method to Wu Ming according to the experimental records that appeared in his mind: "Regarding the use of the universal eraser, many operators in the office have submitted experimental applications and application applications before, and its usage has also been relatively perfected in the process of exploration again and again. ”

"If you need to erase something that actually exists in the form of a table, chair, bench, or living organism, or something that can be clearly captured by the eye, such as a wound or a germ that causes disease, it is not difficult, you just need to focus your attention, describe in your mind what the thing you want to erase, and then rub it against the area that needs to be erased like you would normally use an eraser......

"Abstract concepts that do not have a physical form, such as memory, emotion, and even talent and extraordinary potential, are more difficult to erase, and the user has to use his imagination to define the abstract concepts that need to be erased, and know what he wants to erase, and those intangible and insubstantial things will become a strange children's stick figure and naturally emerge in front of him."

"What we need to do after that is to constantly describe, reinforce and solidify the concepts that need to be erased in our minds to prevent the scroll from disappearing halfway, and at the same time use an eraser to gently erase the corresponding stick figures to erase those abstract concepts that do not have substance."

Wu Ming's face became more and more strange when he listened: "Since you have written down all the containment information, why didn't you say it earlier...... if there is such a useful thing?"

Mia Fan clenched her fists slightly, gently knocked her head and stuck out her tongue to try to get by: "Even if it's a search engine, if you don't limit the keywords, you can't search for the content you want~Hey~"

"......" Wu Ming opened his mouth and stammered, speechless for a while, so he could only change the topic, "Then I apply to use this containment object, oh, what are the side effects of using this eraser before this?" ”

If the side effects are too great, forget it...... This is Wu Ming's subtext, after all, he has consulted countless abnormal object materials these days, and he has fully seen the side effects of the pit that are disproportionate to the effect of the abnormal object itself.

Some anomalous objects, while very useful in their own right, have also very high side effects.

For example, Wu Ming saw that there is a kind of medicine that has the effect of expelling diseases, pains and all the bad states that arise in the process of growing up the day after tomorrow, so that the rough skin due to pollution and wind and frost will return to a baby-like and delicate state, and the myopic vision caused by hard reading will return to normal, and all the defects that you are not satisfied with can be reversed, and the user will experience the feeling of rebirth.

It sounded very tempting, and Wu Ming almost applied to use this anomalous object for Lin Jiaojiao to take at that time, until Mia told him about the side effects of this potion:

The side effects of taking this medicine can restore the person to the state of a newborn baby......

Memory, intelligence, consciousness, and life experiences are all reversed back to infancy along with the physical body.

There are also anomalous objects that are not very effective in the first place, but the side effects are too large to accept.

For example, the crystal ball Xiaosun, which can burn an ordinary person to ashes in three seconds, and the brooch that can seal extraordinary potential but will be in your ear 24 hours a day, all belong to this type of harm that does more harm than good......

There are even many abnormal objects that have no use in themselves, and the side effects are as big as the others.

Therefore, Wu Ming is most worried about the problem of side effects, if the side effects are too big, then the cart before the horse outweighs the loss.

However, to his surprise, Mia, who thought that she would report a large list of cheating side effects as always, shook her head this time unprecedentedly: "If you put aside the fact that the volume of the eraser will continue to decrease with use, there are almost no side effects from using this anomalous object, as long as the user's imagination is reliable enough, then it is harmless." ”

"In fact, in the past usage records, there have even been operators who used the universal eraser and their own imagination to directly erase the 'death facts' and bring back to life the people who had just died."

Speaking of this, Mia paused, and saw that Wu Ming had almost digested it before she continued: "But this kind of violation that originally applied for the erasure of the 'injury' but actually counted the death as the scope of the injury was also punished by the firm. I also hope that Mr. Wu Ming can take this as a warning and not repeat the same mistakes. ”

Wu Ming was a little puzzled after hearing this: "I know that there are non-specific circumstances in the employee code that you cannot interfere with the development of civilization, and although there are aftermath requirements for interfering with individuals with extraordinary power, there is no explicit prohibition of interference in the regulations, does it mean that the firm actually does not allow the operation of reversing death, which is contrary to nature?" ”

At this moment, his mind was full of words: reversing death is a violation of the natural cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, which is not tolerated by heaven and earth, and even the operators of the Lucky Ancient God Office cannot easily break this natural law that has been handed down from ancient times to the present, and so on.

"Because erasing death consumes a lot of volume of the universal eraser, the cuboid eraser was worn into an oval shape, causing unexpected damage to the anomalous object, so he was punished."

After speaking, Mia looked at Wu Ming with neurotic eyes, stared at him for a while before muttering: "Sure enough, it's the same as what the director said, people are good, but they have a little problem with their brains and like to think too much......"

Wu Ming: "......"

…………

More than half an hour later, Wu Ming teleported to Lin Jiaojiao's house with the universal eraser and the crimson queen he had just claimed.

"I always feel like this is the first time I've experienced this battle...... I'm a little nervous......" Lin Jiaojiao sat on the chair and twisted her body uneasily, thinking that she was going to receive 'treatment' next, she felt uncertain, "Hey, do you think I'll travel to a small private clinic with a Victorian background later?" ”

Wu Ming rolled his eyes and complained: "I'm not here to give you blood therapy, besides, the act of crossing the black household is strictly forbidden, and one of the unregistered traversers has to be repatriated to the original world." ”

"I see...... Is there a time-traveler in our world? ”

"I don't know, I haven't encountered it yet, but there should be......"

Although there are inconsequential words on his lips, Wu Ming is also the first time to experience this kind of battle, even if he has seen the memory images of more than a dozen or twenty operators and hundreds of pages of experimental records and summary experiences before coming, in theory, he has fully understood the next steps and practices, but when it comes to practice, he is still a little nervous.

But these emotions naturally cannot be revealed in front of Lin Jiaojiao, not only can they not show timidity, but they must also tell the latter calmly and confidently: "Don't worry!" It has taken me ten minutes to fully grasp how to use this eraser. ”

With the help of the additional thought circuits provided by the assistive devices, the turmoil in his heart quickly calmed down.

"Ready, right? I'm going to get started. ”

Lin Jiaojiao nodded: "Hmm." ”

Then Wu Ming waved his hand to open the containment space, and after he reached out and dug into the swarthy spatial crack that seemed to be an abyss, a round brown-yellow eraser appeared in his hand.

Outwardly, this eraser resembles the kind of eraser that elementary school students often use to erase pencil characters, and does not show any peculiarities, but like all inactive passive anomalous objects, it only reveals specificity when used correctly.

"What needs to be erased is the extraordinary potential of Lin Jiaojiao...... Wu Ming has adjusted his mentality to a state of mind like water, staring intently at Lin Jiaojiao who is sitting on a chair and looking up at him, and with the muttering to himself, he uses his imagination to sketch and define the approximate erasure range in his mind.

"What needs to be erased is the extraordinary potential of Lin Jiaojiao......"

"What needs to be erased is ......"

Gradually, a strange picture began to appear on Lin Jiaojiao's face......

The overall tone of the painting scroll is dark and treacherous, and several huge tentacles and countless insects and ants can be faintly seen in the dim and blurred background.

Perhaps the painting has some kind of bizarre optical illusion, or perhaps the painting itself is a 'living' relationship, hidden in the dim background of insects and tentacles, always giving people the feeling that they are slowly wriggling.

Even Wu Ming looked at it and felt that the dense tentacles and insects and ants had brought him some spiritual pollution.

And in the very center of the scroll, the only place that is not infected by the dark tone of the background, is a crooked black stickman, whose surface is covered with an arrogance, his hands raised in the air and trying to radiate light in all directions, but still unable to stop the progress of several black palms sticking out of the dim background around him.

It's like trying to dispel the unstoppable darkness and madness in the background.

With the formation of the scroll, Wu Ming, as a user of the embodiment of the scroll, also vaguely understood what the stick figures referred to.

The crooked stickman represents Lin Jiaojiao, and the layer of arrogance and the light emitted from her body represent the excess extraordinary potential and the accumulated extraordinary power, respectively.

As for what the slow but unstoppable darkness and madness were, Wu Ming didn't know.

Don't think too much, don't think too much, the most important thing now is to solve Lin Jiaojiao's problems...... Wu Ming forcibly reined in his consciousness that was about to diverge, turned his attention back, pinched the eraser and pressed it next to the stickman in the painting, and began to vigorously wipe the arrogance that represented the extraordinary potential next to the villain.

Wu Ming was concentrating on wiping here, but from Lin Jiaojiao's point of view, the other party just stared at her, and then took an eraser and wiped it only five centimeters away from her face, which looked quite funny.

At the same time, Lin Jiaojiao also had the opportunity for the first time to observe this worldly master who saved her life three times several times.

It's not handsome or ugly, it's not an ordinary appearance, except for a little baby face that doesn't match the real age at all, there are no impressive features, and the black eyes give people an indescribable depth, like staring into a bottomless abyss, as if staring at it for too long will even pull a human soul into it.

But for some reason, Lin Jiaojiao always felt that something seemed to be missing from the depths of Wu Ming's eyes.

But she couldn't see what was missing, but she felt a ...... in his gaze

A sense of alienation from being out of place.

Crash!

At the same time as this strange thought popped up in Lin Jiaojiao's heart, she and Wu Ming both heard a crisp tearing sound.

It was like the sound of a cloth being torn, and it was like the crisp sound of a paper being torn.

Then she saw Wu Ming have an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Oh my god, my hand slipped and accidentally scratched your painting......"
