The picture that Lao Chen saw was indescribably great, chaotic, distorted, and intertwined with the threads of fate.

He is involved in all things, and He is greater than all His knowledge.

Even though the generosity of Him has stopped giving this knowledge to Lao Chen,

The picture that seemed to be the corner of 'fate' still lingered in his mind, and it seemed to have become the most real thing in his memory.

That is the truth, that is the source and master of all destiny.

In comparison, his small, fragile cognition, everything in the whole world, seemed so insignificant.

"Ah...... Ah......h

Consciousness was blurred, Lao Chen collapsed to the ground, his whole body couldn't stop shaking, like a fish out of water,

The eyes were closed, and there was dark red blood still oozing from under the closed eyelids, flowing on the face.

All that was left was a meaningless, repetitive instinctual wail.

Beside him, he has been watching the situation here, and when he saw Lao Chen falling, he seemed to have stopped communicating with him.

The investigator hurriedly lowered his head and hurriedly approached,

didn't dare to raise his head to look at the boy's figure, but walked up to Lao Chen, lowered his body and took Lao Chen back.

It wasn't until he was out of his vicinity that the investigator dared to lower his body and call out to Lao Chen anxiously, and took out a pair of reagents from his body.

"Investigator Tatsu, Investigator Tatsu ......"

The potion is a light blue liquid, and it is a thing that can be contaminated and sane for a short time by the Abnormal Tone Bureau.

The lid of the reagent was opened, and the investigator fed the medicine into Lao Chen's mouth.

But Lao Chen, who was confused, showed resistance to this.

Those who have seen the true and great being and who have been polluted are not necessarily willing to return to ignorance.

Compared with truth and greatness, the so-called loss of control and pollution is so insignificant,

Lao Chen, who still presents that great picture in his mind, is only willing to return to the embrace of 'fate', and his own life is also not worth mentioning in comparison.

“…… Investigator Chen, Comrade Lao Chen! ”

For Lao Chen's resistance, the investigator changed his name,

"Come back, Comrade Lao Chen, we still need you, and everyone here still needs you. Don't go! ”

The investigator called Lao Chen's consciousness while holding the medicine to feed Lao Chen,

This time, Lao Chen raised his hand to resist the action, and paused,

The potion was successfully fed to Lao Chen's mouth and swallowed with difficulty.

The potion is working, the true and great picture, the world that contains all the truth, is blinded and obscured,

This kind of pain made Lao Chen's mouth unconsciously wail,

But immediately after, Lao Chen's sanity and consciousness also sobered up.

The wailing gradually stopped, and the body was still trembling, but it stopped struggling,

Slowly opened his bloody eyes,

"Thank you......"

"Hoo ......"

"Investigator Chen, just wake up."

The investigator breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm."

Lao Chen held his hand and stood up again with the help of the investigator.

Raising his head, he looked at the boy in the garden again,

At this moment, he had already turned around again, facing the flower garden, still pausing to look at the roots of the flowers and plants.

"Hoo ......"

Lao Chen looked away again and exhaled.

Even now, he thought back to the great, indescribable picture in his mind.

There is also a painful feeling of being woken up by a sweet dream, unwilling to wake up.

However, he has always been a strong-willed warrior.

With his eyes firm again, Lao Chen reached out and carefully straightened out the old military uniform on his body, and he had fallen to the ground before with a lot of ash and blood, and he also reached out to dust it at this moment.

"Investigator Tatsu, can I call someone to come and take care of you?"

"No, everyone has something to do."

Limped, Lao Chen staggered back here,

He has a few more small tentacles on his legs, and an extra eye under the soles of his feet.

When I'm done later, I need to go to the medical department, and I have to remove these things.

……

“…… Lao Chen, how's it going? Are you alright? ”

There were still blood scabs around his eyes that had not been wiped off, so Lao Chen dialed the special line for the mouse again,

Looking at Lao Chen's haggard appearance and red eyes, the mouse asked first,

“…… It's fine, it's just a few more gadgets on my body, and I'll just remove it later. ”

"Hmm...... Pay attention to your body. ”

The tentacles and eyeballs that grow on the body can be cut and dug out, but the pollution on the body is difficult to disappear by itself.

That real picture, even if it is blurred at the moment, still stubbornly exists in Lao Chen's mind.

“…… What is going on in Wang'an City? ”

The rat nodded, then asked,

“…… Don't bother with the affairs of the south of the city, just treat it as if the memory didn't happen. ”

Lao Chen was silent for a while, and then said again.

When the rat heard this, he opened his mouth to ask something more, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

"I see."

Apparently, Lao Chen received some information from Him.

They thought that what was south of Wang'an City was not something they could resist at all.

And Lao Chen is reluctant to explain things more clearly, but he is unwilling to spread the cognition of 'fate',

According to the information they have, the more knowledge they have, and the more they understand the real world, the more vulnerable they are to danger.

Telling others about 'fate' at this moment really doesn't make any sense at all.

"I will come to Wang'an City as soon as possible, and we will focus on dealing with the matter of Qingming Temple in Beishan, Wang'an City."

Lao Chen said again, and at the same time paying attention to the reaction of the mouse,

Determine if the rat has been affected by 'fate' again in this short period of time.

"Hmm...... I still remember it. ”

The mouse nodded, and then roughly understood what Lao Chen was thinking, and said a few more words.

After finishing speaking, both of them felt a little heavy in their hearts.

When the rat tried to explore the 'Qingming Temple' earlier, he stopped him.

But at this moment he did not do anything, ruling out the possibility that he did not know about this matter,

That only proves that this is what He wants to see at this moment.

"Hmmm......"

Lao Chen answered again and ended the call with the mouse.

paused again in place, and then lowered his head to look at the changes around him,

Raised his hand to pick up the phone, ready to contact the medical department to give him surgery.

At this time,

The cell phone, which had been used to contact the 'Revelation', rang again.

"Revelation: I would like to ask, what kind of method do you use to continue to improve your abilities in the future?"

Look at the question that the revelation suddenly sent.

Lao Chen paused, and then replied truthfully.

"Lao Chen: There are only two follow-up methods for improving our ability that we have now.

Lao Chen: One is to continue to take the potion you took the first time, and take the same potion that is more powerful.

Lao Chen: The other is to take other potions. However, some potions have a strong conflict with each other, and it is easy to get out of control during the use of potions.

Lao Chen: The advantage of the former is that it is not easy to conflict, and it is relatively stable, of course, only relatively. The latter is more diverse in ability.

Lao Chen: We now distinguish the ability of the potion taker, and also by the number of times the potion is taken. ”

Although it is believed that the mysterious revelation is a powerful one, but I am worried that the revelation is a wild powerful person who does not have a comprehensive understanding of some information,

Lao Chen said very carefully, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think, which way did this powerful man use?

It may be the latter, after all, it was judged that this Mr. Revelation may have a stable way to obtain the potion formula.

Of course, the former is not impossible, the 'Lord of Flesh' formula that was previously traded to the Heterogeneous Bureau, this Mr. Revelation said that he had not taken it.

"Revelation: Thank you Investigator Tatsu for the information."

"Lao Chen: Mr. Revelation is the friendly partner of our Alien Investigation Bureau."

……

Jing Chen had already returned to the house.

After setting up the ceremony and receiving the materials he had requested from the Bureau,

At this moment, Jing Chen had already configured the 'Lord of Shadows' potion, but he hadn't taken it yet.

Glancing at the chat record with the investigator of the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau, Jing Chen turned his head and looked at the potion in the glass on the desk in front of him.

That's when I was relieved.

As for the information that Lao Chen said, he had already learned some of it in the peeping into the future picture, but it was still a little vague.

What he wanted to know was not just how to continue to increase his abilities after taking the first potion.

The most important thing is whether you can take other potions afterwards.

After all, he was still thinking about using that drop of blood from the blood-colored world to make a 'Lord of Flesh' potion.

If he was tied to death by the 'Lord of Shadows', then he would probably have to hesitate.

That's fine now.

The "Lord of Shadows" and the "Lord of Flesh" should not conflict, right?

By the way, after taking a potion, you can continue to take the same potion with a stronger potion.

Could he now take all the 'Lord of Flesh' potions?

The 'Lord of Flesh' potion materials are also available.

However, at the very least, you must take this potion of the 'Lord of Shadows' that has been configured.

Jing Chen turned his gaze and looked at the 'Lord of Shadows' potion on the table, which was contained in the glass.

The potion as a whole is a pale gray liquid, but in the middle of the liquid there is a light red cloud floating lightly, like something like a flame.

From time to time, it also emits a little bit of light that resembles a spark.

It looks like a bonfire at night, like the only flame that dances in the night.

It's kind of magical and beautiful.

Jing Chen looked at this potion with a slightly hesitant expression.

He couldn't see his future, and he didn't know if he would succeed or become a monster or rotten meat after drinking the potion.

But in this terrible world, he wants to master some abilities, this is the only way at the moment, no matter what, sooner or later.

Since gaining the ability to peek into the future,

Jing Chen has taken some unknown risks, and in the face of this inevitable risk at this moment,

Jing Chen was inevitably a little nervous,

I can't help but have some distracting thoughts in my mind, and even the idea of retreating.

Maybe he didn't have to take potions, maybe he ......

"Hoo ......"

Jing Chen shook his head violently and let out a long breath,

Then he picked up the potion from the cup on the table and poured it directly into his mouth.

the properties of taking potions,

The more you think, the easier it is to get nervous, and the more nervous you are, the easier it is to fail,

It's better to take it directly.

The entrance of the potion first felt a little cool, and then a little hot,

At this moment, Jing Chen's mood has calmed down, the potion has been in his stomach, and it is useless to be nervous.

Jing Chen waited for the impact of the runaway pollution after taking the potion, thinking about how his sanity would be impacted.

And then......

Then Jing Chen felt the potion flowing down his throat into his stomach,

Then, he didn't react at all, he was polluted, he was out of control, his sanity was shocked, he didn't feel anything.

It was like he had just had a drink.

Jing Chen, who was calmly waiting for the side effects of taking potions, froze on his face, and gradually couldn't hold back.

"? I made the wrong potion? ”

"Impossible, it's all in order?"

Jing Chen broke his defense a little, thinking that the potion materials he had finally obtained from the Abnormal Tone Bureau would be wasted on him.

Then his mentality is blown up.

Just when Jing Chen carefully recalled the steps of potion configuration and how to re-extract the materials from the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau.

He paused again, feeling like something was suddenly in his head,

And then, feel as if you have mastered some abilities?

Some shadow-related abilities.

Jing Chen was a little stunned, raised his hand and looked,

Then his hand gradually blurred, turning into a shadow-like appearance,

"It's finished?"

Then Jing Chen's entire figure disappeared with it, and finally merged with the blurred shadow on his ground,

The shadow began to move on its own on the ground, on the wall,

When I moved to the kitchen, I paused, and I was directly merged with the shadows.

Then, in the next moment, the shadow suddenly reappeared on the wall of the living room,

Then from the shadows, Jing Chen's figure reappeared, his expression was still a little confused, and he sat on the ground.

"Really? And that's it? ”

He did master some of the abilities of the 'Lord of Shadows' potion after taking it,

It seems that the potion took it successfully.

But what about the loss of control of taking potions, what about pollution?

How is it different?

Jing Chen thought about the side effects of the 'Lord of Shadows' as stated in the potion formula, and liked the shadows.

He looked up at the sun outside the window, and then at the shade next to the room.

Well...... Sure enough, he still prefers shaded places.

But...... He didn't like to bask in the sun.

It's no different from before.

What about side effects?

What about the side effects of potions?

Probably because of the effects of the potion that was originally nervous,

It turned out that the ability to come by after taking the potion was too easy, and Jing Chen was a little uneasy.

He had been doing his best to wail and roll all over the ground, and there were some changes in the 'Lord of Shadows' on his body.

Outcome...... That's it?

He didn't feel anything except the 'Lord of Shadows' potion, which seemed to taste okay.

That's how he has the ability to take the 'Lord of Shadows' potion.

Somewhat confused,

Jing Chen lowered his head, and then repeatedly tested the special abilities he had gained after taking the potion,

In the end, I slowly accepted it,

I don't know for what unknown reason,

The fact that he succeeded by taking the potion without feeling the side effects and contamination.

Jing Chen was a little silent, and walked back into the study,

From time to time, the body disappears, merges with the shadow, and resurfaces,

At the same time, he felt his ability after taking the potion.

After he took the 'Lord of Shadows' potion, his abilities were naturally related to shadows.

The main thing, there are only a few, one is what he has just shown, he can turn his body into a shadow and merge with his own shadow, and manipulate his shadow to act,

It is also possible to control your own shadow actions individually.

One is that he can jump in the shadows when he merges with the shadows, and he has been able to jump from one shadow to another when he suddenly went from the kitchen to the living room.

One is that he can also manipulate other people's shadows.

The most important thing is that he can manipulate the shadow attack to bind others, others don't have any special abilities, and when attacking the shadow, the shadow has the basic characteristics of the shadow, but it can't be hit.

In addition, some basic abilities have been improved, such as the strength of the body, and the agility has been improved a lot.

In a dimly lit environment, the eyes also seem to acquire the ability to resemble night vision.

Moreover, what he felt in his mind was that in the darkness and shadows, his abilities in all aspects would be greatly enhanced.

"Lord of Shadows...... That's not a mistake. ”

The powers brought by this Lord of Shadows potion seem more suitable to be a hunter in the night,

Hidden in the darkness, peeking at monsters, looking for opportunities, and then ...... One hit kills.

“…… Now, do you want to use the rest of the Lord of Flesh potion as well......"

The Lord of Flesh seems to grow in physique and strong physical abilities,

Add the effect of the Lord of Shadows, and that's ...... Positive assassins?
