Chapter 53: The Test
Here, after the end of the revelation exchange with the Revelation Organization,
Lao Chen paused, his eyes and thoughts were a little divergent.
Soon, however, he turned his head back to look at the other investigators.
Yin Tiger, Mao Rabbit, Lady, and Reptile are all there.
As the news arrives, a group of senior investigators are discussing what they have just learned from the mysterious powerhouse and follower of destiny on the banks of the Lethe.
"Judging from the information we have obtained so far, all the possibilities for resolving the crisis of the advent of this disaster king point to 'fate'."
"Just, are we sure we want to do it? According to the guidance of fate, the entire Wang'an City, the capital, and even the whole world will become everything that develops according to fate. Like a dead marionette, it dies silently. ”
Moreover, it can be expected that under the complete control of fate, there will be no more people who try to resist, and even everyone here will forget the existence of fate and ignore the influence of fate. The whole world just died in a different way. ”
Yinhu and the others waited for Lao Chen and the revelation to finish communicating before continuing the previous topic.
"Not exactly, in the description of the 'Lord of Calamity', the power of the 'gods' who have been stolen by the calamity may also be borrowed and used by us."
"It's better to take advantage of the existence of fate, at least fate has already come to some extent. It is even worse to bring these other 'gods' closer to our world. ”
The lady spoke up and spoke.
“…… The most important issue is that 'luck' should come above that. Perhaps 'luck' can solve our current dilemma and solve the problem after we use fate." ”
Lao Chen also said.
"But we can't pin all our hopes on that. We also have to find a way to get as much information as possible. ”
Yin Hu took the words, and then said,
"Didn't we speculate that the 'Wind Calamity' potion was related to the 'Lord of Calamity'? Perhaps we can use the way we take potions to learn more about the 'gods' behind this potion. ”
"It just so happens that on the trading platform that we have cooperated with Shenqi, there is a main material that is very likely to be the 'heart of the stormer'."
"That's a good proposition, so I'll take this potion."
In front of the imminent 'Calamity King', take the potion that is likely to point to Him,
No matter how you look at it, it is also a very risky thing.
The reptile listened to Yinhu's words, lowered his head, and then said hoarsely.
Yin Hu smiled at the reptilian's words, and then said,
"I'll do it, and I'll implement my proposal. And, it just so happens that my abilities are also related to the wind. ”
"If you don't have any opinions, I'll change this main material back later."
Yinhu rolled his gaze and looked at the other investigators.
Lao Chen looked at Yinhu and paused.
"It's good to try more......"
"Next, try to figure out what 'lucky' means. Also get as much information as you can about the Lord of Calamity. ”
"In addition, find out the four people mentioned by the believer of that fate first, and no matter what you decide later, make all preparations first."
Lao Chen thought of the mysterious powerhouse's last words.
After a pause, he stood up and ended the exchange of senior investigators.
Yinhu nodded and walked out of the room first.
Lao Chen stayed at the end, and then looked at the mobile phone that kept in touch with the Apocalypse Organization,
He looked up again and looked out the window.
What exactly does 'lucky' mean?
If it's really 'lucky', it can solve the impact of the Anomaly's use of the power of 'fate'.
What is that to resolve the aftermath of fate?
……
"Someone is willing to trade the skin of a temperature stealer for the heart of the hurricane monster in our hands."
On the other side, Lintian City, in the house with doors and windows closed,
The man who had previously hung the heart of the Hurricane Monster on the Apocalypse trading platform also received a message from the platform.
The body sitting on the sofa sat up a little straighter, and after saying something to his wife,
Just bow your head and reply to the buyer's message.
"Earthly Branch: Is it a need to exchange the Thermostealer's skin for the Stormer's Heart you have mastered, can you trade it right now?
Somewhat Cold: Stormer? As if it was indeed the name.
Somewhat Cold: Trading Now? Of course no problem, as long as you're willing to provide the skin of the thermostealer.
Jizhi: Hmm. ”
"The 'Earth's Branch' has made a trade request to you in exchange for the 'Thermostealer's Skin' in exchange for the 'Stormer's Heart', whether you agree or not."
This is the first time that a man has officially traded an item on the Apocalypse platform, although the entire item and information transaction process have a prompt when obtaining an account.
But there was still some nervousness and anticipation of getting something to go.
After a pause, the man agreed.
Then what pops up is not a further trading interface, but a complete teleportation ritual.
"Do we have candles in our house?"
After a pause, the man turned back to his wife and asked.
"Yes. Not enough, though. ”
The wife glanced at the instructions for the transmission of the sadhana,
"I'll go downstairs and buy it at the supermarket."
"Hmm...... We're a piece. ”
Hurriedly went downstairs, and the two bought some candles.
According to the requirements of the trading platform, after arranging the ritual, the ceremony is ready to begin.
"This teleportation ritual has a ...... for both reception and transmission It seems to be a complete sadhana. ”
His wife looked at the contents of the trading platform again, and couldn't help but say something out loud.
"After mastering this teleportation ritual, it seems that other people can use it directly?"
“…… If you are not afraid of death. ”
The man looked up at his wife, and then knelt directly in the fixed position of the arranged sadhana.
"This sadhana is clearly directional."
Just the prayer of the sadhana can be seen, and this sadhana has a clear point.
“…… You are the source of knowledge, you are the embodiment of truth......"
Religiously, the man repeated in a low voice.
This terrible world taught him to be in awe.
Immediately after, the teleportation ritual succeeded for the first time.
The man took it out, and the 'Storm's Heart' placed in the ritual vanished.
Immediately after that, the reception ritual was performed.
A 'Thermostealer' skin, stored in a special storage box, appeared before his eyes.
Originally,
In order to prevent one of the parties to the transaction from being discredited and undermining the fair trade.
When trading items, they will let the Apocalypse trading platform transfer a little.
But now that one of the parties is a heterogeneous bureau, there is no need for this.
When the teleportation ritual was completely over, the man endured some excitement and got up.
The save box was opened.
Inside the storage box is the skin of the thermostealer.
The skin is smooth, like the skin of a phosphate-free fish,
The whole is pale blue, and there are some ice crystals condensed in many places.
Slightly reflective.
It's only been such a short time in this room,
The room, which was not much warm, became even colder.
It's not so much that the skin of this temperature stealer is exuding cold,
What's more vivid is that this skin is constantly stealing the temperature next to it.
"I'm going to take potions now."
Picking up the storage box containing the skin of the Thermostealer, he turned his head and looked out the window at the thick layer of frost before speaking to his wife.
His wife looked at him and paused.
For them, every potionist is an adventure.
But in this terrible world, there is no other choice.
I can only increase my strength as much as possible to get through the difficulties.
"Okay, I'll go get the other materials."
Walking into the house, the woman went to take out the other materials that had been prepared in advance.
Carefully carrying her heart, she prepared this potion for her husband.
When this potion was configured, it was not directly put into the main material.
It's just that after the man's wife handed the prepared medicine to the man,
The man took out the skin of the thermostealer, and then plucked the skin off his body.
As much as possible, the skin of the thermostealer was covered with more skin.
"Ah......h
The man unexpectedly let out a scream, even wailing,
The skin that landed on his body seemed to grow on his flesh, gradually melting into his skin.
There was a lot of frost condensed on his eyebrows, eyes, and face.
Take this potion.
Not only the effects of pollution and runaway control,
In the process, his body temperature and life were also being stolen.
……
“…… After ten minutes, you open the sheet and follow the instructions and steps on the paper to configure the things. ”
"In another ten minutes, drink the potion."
"Yes, Mr. Apocalypse. I will strictly follow your instructions. ”
Jing Chen turned into a shadow, carrying the glass jar containing the drop of blood, and some other materials,
found Yu Huanting.
The bottom two floors of the resettlement hotel where Yu Huanting is located have been basically submerged.
Although Yu Huanting still lives alone, she has also moved to a smaller room.
Jing Chen's potions test requires someone who can carry out his orders to the letter.
Although Jing Chen will not ask the person who conducted the test to die,
But the person who conducts the test must trust him enough to drink it even if he knows that it is poison.
In order to let Jing Chen peek into the future he wants to see.
Now it seems that Yu Huanting is a good candidate.
Jing Chen glanced at Yu Huanting, and after saying a word, he put a folded piece of paper on the table next to him.
At the same time, he took out the glass jar containing the drop of blood and pressed it on the paper,
On the paper, it was written the recipe for the 'Lord of Flesh' potion.
The reason why the request for two ten-minute hours is just to give him a peek into the future and leave some buffer time.
Yu Huanting felt the drop of blood in the glass jar that Mr. Revelation took out,
The mood couldn't help but be a little restless, and the flesh and blood on his body seemed to be a little excited, and at the same time, surrendered to that drop of blood.
However, in front of Mr. Revelation, in Huanting's eyes, his face quickly brought a fanaticism for Mr. Revelation.
In response to Mr. Revelation's order, Yu Huanting also glanced at the time at the moment, so as to perfectly implement Mr. Revelation's instructions as required.
"Hmmm......"
Jing Chen replied again, put down the other materials in turn, and then the shadow of the avatar returned to blend into the shadows.
And Yu Huanting stood quietly in place, and after looking around first,
Followed by fanaticism, even reverently, staring at the things that Mr. Revelation left behind.
The great Mr. Revelation must be watching her, and she must carry out Mr. Revelation's orders perfectly.
This is the embodiment of her value.
Yu Huanting looked at the material closely, and then looked at the time from time to time.
And Jing Chen, who reintegrated into the shadows next to him, looked at Yu Huanting and concentrated his attention.
First of all, there is the future image ten minutes later.
It's almost the time when the hour hand just skips the time that Jing Chen requires,
Yu Wanting stepped forward again, opened the formula on the paper, and began to prepare the potion according to the requirements on the paper.
After the potion is configured, the potion in the glass container is clearly different from the ordinary 'Lord of Flesh' potions.
If ordinary potions are a little bloody,
This time, the potion seemed to be much purer, like a ruby lying quietly in a glass container.
It's just that in the rubies, there are occasionally some flesh and blood beings of different shapes struggling, as if they are about to break free.
And such a weird thing.
Yu Huanting in the future picture did not hesitate at all.
The potion configuration is completed, and when Jing Chen asks for it,
Without a moment's hesitation, he poured the potion into his mouth.
And then, there's a bit of gore.
The potion seemed to be very corrosive, just the entrance,
directly from the jaw, corroded to the stomach,
A straight wound that penetrated deep into her internal organs tore through almost her entire upper body.
The potion with blood like a blood gem was not something that Yu Huanting could digest at all.
The potion swallowed fell out of the torn abdomen as it was.
At the same time, the flesh on Yu Huanting's body was still cracking and festering.
Flesh and blood are easily separated from her bones, and entrails seem to have a life of their own,
Cut off from the rest of his body, the follower's potion leaped out of his abdomen.
"Ah......h
Yu Huanting subconsciously let out a miserable scream,
His eyes first looked at the potion that flowed out of his body again, and he was a little fanatical,
Then he suddenly looked around, as if looking for his gaze, and his gaze became even more fanatical.
"Ahh
Immediately after, Yu Huanting screamed, in this badly injured situation,
With fanaticism, he made a crazy move,
She grabbed the potion that had come out again, held it in her hand, and ran it along the torn open chest and abdomen.
He held the potion in his hand and stuffed it back in.
This time
The potion didn't come out again.
But Yu Huanting's body was completely decomposed, and suddenly collapsed, becoming a piece of minced meat.
From the minced flesh, some more flesh and blood life emerged, surging madly in all directions.
“…… Mr. Revelation...... I, I have betrayed your trust......"
This time, with her fanatical belief in Mr. Apocalypse, it didn't stop her body from collapsing.
It's not Mr. Apocalypse's fault, it's that her body is too weak to withstand this great power.
At the end, Yu Huanting said this sentence painfully,
And then it turned into rotten meat.
The picture of the future that Jing Chen peeked in front of his eyes gradually disappeared,
After a pause, he looked at Yu Huanting, who was still waiting for ten minutes to start configuring potions and standing there reverently and attentively.
Then, Jing Chen re-emerged from the shadows.
"Mr. Apocalypse."
Yu Huanting noticed that Mr. Revelation appeared, and said again with reverence on her face.
"Hmm...... Make some modifications. ”
Jing Chen picked up the paper pressed under the glass jar again, and took out a pen,
Some modifications have been made to the recipe.
Mainly refer to the experience of the Lower Divergent Bureau, to see if it will be useful to increase the proportion of some other materials.
"The ten minutes of waiting will start counting again from now on."
"Yes, Mr. Revelation."
Jing Chen pressed the revised note back under the glass jar.
Although Yu Huanting didn't understand the reason why Mr. Revelation did this,
But she has enough trust in Mr. Great Revelation to carry out Mr. Great Revelation's orders to the letter.
This is also what Jing Chen needs.
Jing Chen glanced at Yu Huanting again, and then reintegrated into the shadow next to him.
Yu Huanting glanced at the time again, and then began to wait intently again.
In the shadows,
Jing Chen once again tried to peek into Yu Huanting's future.
This time
The process has changed, but the result remains the same.
The color of the 'Lord of Flesh' potion dimmed, as if it had lost its light.
In the future picture, Yu Huanting once again did not hesitate to take this potion.
The potion didn't come out directly.
But it didn't last long, and Yu Huanting collapsed and disintegrated into pieces of rotten flesh again, turning into flesh and blood creatures.
The potion still failed to integrate into Wan Ting's body, and it existed independently in the rotten flesh that collapsed, lying quietly.
After changing the potion ratio, it seems to be somewhat useful.
But it doesn't seem to be big enough.
And then increase the proportion of other materials?
Or replace a higher-level material.
The picture of the future peeping in front of him faded again, Jing Chen looked at Yu Huanting and thought.
