"Sir, I've brought some investigators to visit you, hoping you can give us some guidance."

It wasn't just Lao Chen and the preface investigators who came over, but only the two of them arrived in front of the mysterious powerful man on the bank of the Wang'an River first, and the rest were still waiting a little farther away.

"Sit down."

Jing Chen glanced at Lao Chen and the investigator who was a little older here, and moved the stool as usual.

"Sir, this is one of our investigators from the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations, Preface. I've taken potions five times, and all five times I've been the 'Lord of Flesh'. ”

Lao Chen took the stool, put it next to the investigator, and motioned for him to sit down.

From the time he followed Lao Chen to the front of this stall, the investigator's eyes tried to look at the blood eagle on Jing Chen's shoulder from time to time, but most of the time he peeked at it and lowered his head again.

The more you let yourself feel with your keen senses, the more you pursue the feeling of a somewhat ambiguous lake...... There was a kind of trepidation, and when I got closer, I felt that there was a great, indescribable figure that seemed to begin to emerge in my mind, squeezing everything else.

He could only try to restrain his perceptions.

Turning his head, he looked at Lao Chen.

did not refuse Lao Chen's gesture, but with awe, he bowed his head and sat down on the stool.

He didn't say anything, just let Investigator Chen talk to this mysterious and powerful man.

"Sir, you may already know our plans."

Lao Chen paused, but still briefly recounted,

"We intend to use the flesh and blood of the flesh monsters in the possession of a flesh ruler as a cure for the various diseases that are now in flux, in order to curb the effects of filth and pestilence. At the same time, it delays the arrival of the Lord of Flesh that may befall as a result. ”

"But before that, it means we need someone who holds the authority of flesh and blood. The Investigator is the most suitable first person for the Bureau of Inquisition at the moment, and we wonder if the Investigator will be able to take potions again and then succeed in plundering Flesh and Blood power. ”

With respect, Lao Chen prayed to Jing Chen for an answer.

Jing Chen glanced at Lao Chen, paused, and then nodded.

didn't say much, he didn't need Lao Chen to say that he knew the wishes of the people coming from the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.

He also revealed in another capacity, suggesting the Bureau of Anomalies.

Turning his gaze, Jing Chen looked directly at the preface investigator who came with Lao Chen, concentrating and peeking into the future.

Next to him, Lao Chen also lowered his head, waiting closely for this mysterious and powerful man to give an answer.

In front of Jing Chen's eyes,

Soon a picture of the future emerges.

He saw the investigator when he was taking the potion.

The time of this future image is not far away, just over an hour later.

Sitting in the middle of an empty room in a closed room of the Bureau, the Order's investigator took the blood-red potion handed to him by another investigator.

After the other investigator left, in this closed and empty room,

The precursor paused with the potion, as if thinking of something.

Then, with a sudden movement, he drank the blood-red potion contained in the glass container.

Almost instantly, he was contaminated and affected by the potion, and his already red skin and flesh rose even redder.

As if to be roasted in the fire,

Then the flesh swelled and tore, and the blood splattered in the closed room and landed on the ground, and the flesh on the wall squirmed as if it had life.

Twisted, hideous, painful, the heart of the precursor was beating dullly, and at the same time it seemed to bulge out of the flesh of the chest,

The flesh on his chest was also somewhat torn.

Soon, the whole person turned into a somewhat twisted, bloody mass of flesh.

But

Despite the struggles and pain, the investigator managed to take the potion.

A man with a flesh-and-blood body larger than the previous one stood up from the spot.

And then,

This picture fades, and Jing Chen sees a second key picture of the future.

This picture of the future is not far away.

Just tonight.

In the same airtight room.

On the ground in front of him, there was the drop of blood that Jing Chen gave to the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau,

The blood beads were still in their original glass containers, calm, and there was no movement.

The investigator with a somewhat large body stood in front of this drop of blood, and his body trembled a little.

But he is still stubborn, staring at this drop of blood with his eyes, and feeling the existence of this drop of blood with his senses.

Trying to plunder power, as required by the rites of enthronement, needs to be overcome.

How can this drop of blood be defeated?

During the confrontation, the investigator's body exploded into many tears, and blood flowed all over his body, but he controlled it himself, and did not touch the ground.

In the picture of the future,

After the investigator sensed the existence of this drop of blood for a while,

used the ability that he gradually mastered after taking the Lord of Flesh potion this time,

The laceration wound on his body began to flow blood rapidly, and thick blood that seemed to be mixed with flesh and blood gushed outward,

At the same time, his massive body seemed to be dissolving.

Eventually, the flesh collapsed, quickly turning into a pool of blood that covered the entire closed room.

And then the blood contracted, and then rushed towards the drop of blood in the glass jar.

The thick blood of the incarnation of the Investigator attempted to wrap the droplet.

But the drop of blood remained motionless in the glass jar.

And the blood that poured into the glass jar, trying to wrap the drop of blood, seemed to continue to surge towards the inside of the drop,

However, the inside of that drop of blood seemed to have an endless airdrop, and no matter how the blood of the incarnation of the preface investigator poured in, the blood bead itself did not become larger, or there were other changes.

In the end, the blood of the incarnation of the investigator was completely submerged in the drop of blood.

The picture seemed to stop, and the drop of blood was still lying calmly at the bottom of the glass jar, and there was no movement for a long time.

Compared to the beginning, the Order, who was only trying to plunder authority, disappeared completely in the room.

“…… Failed. ”

After a long time in the future picture, someone reappeared in that room, and after a long silence, he spoke up.

The picture of the future that Jing Chen peeked into also faded away.

……

"Failed."

Jing Chen's gaze fell on the preface investigator again,

Hearing this, the preface investigator with his head bowed paused, and raised his head again.

"Just one potion, it doesn't seem like it's enough."

Jing Chen said again.

Hearing this, the preface investigator nodded, but didn't say anything.

Lao Chen next to him also raised his head and paused,

"We see, sir. We will try more and hope to get more inspiration from you. ”

】

Lao Chen said again.

Jing Chen nodded, and tried to peek into the future again to see if the new attempts of Zhong Laochen and others in the future could succeed.

Lao Chen and the investigator bowed their heads again, remaining quiet and in awe, quietly waiting for the mysterious and powerful man to give an answer.

After a little quieter, Lao Chen and the preface investigator heard the voice of this mysterious and powerful man again,

"Two times is still not enough."

Jing Chen has once again seen the ending of the future picture,

The prelude investigator who had barely succeeded in taking two flesh potions in a short period of time still fell when he was trying to plunder power,

This time, there was a bit of a reaction to the ascension ritual of the blood bead, but in the end, the blood bead was still lying quietly in the glass jar.

At the same time, before performing the enthronement ritual with that drop of blood bead this time, this order investigator had already plundered a little more flesh and blood authority than the last time, probably from some powerful flesh monsters.

It just didn't make any difference to the results.

Listening to the 'judgment' given by this mysterious and powerful man, Lao Chen and the preface investigator raised their heads again and did not speak for a while.

If it has been some time since the last potion,

Taking potions again now is a normal adventure.

Two times is to ask for death, and three times is to ask for death, and there is no chance of death.

Even if the previous Ark investigator had taken potions several times in a short period of time, there were several days apart.

In the current situation, if a potion needs to be taken multiple times, the Investigator can only take it three times in a row, one after the other.

After succeeding, he had to drag his inevitable out-of-control body and the drop of blood to perform an ascension ceremony.

"Maybe you can try, give up that blood, and take the authority of some monsters."

Jing Chen looked at the two who were a little silent, just raised his hand and touched the feathers of the blood eagle on his shoulder.

The Blood Eagle shrank back at first, and then enjoyed Jing Chen's touch.

"Is that enough?"

The preface investigator asked aloud.

"If it's not enough, I'm willing to take the potion three times."

The preface investigator's words were calm, and if one needed to do this, it could only be him.

The others had taken flesh potions less often than he did.

Jing Chen's hand removed from the blood eagle's feathers and looked at the investigator,

Didn't give a direct answer, just peeked into the future again.

After a long time,

Jing Chen saw the ending in the future picture.

After the picture of the future faded, Jing Chen paused for a while before giving an answer,

“…… Inadequate. ”

"It's very risky."

Listening to Jing Chen's answer, a smile appeared on the face of the preface investigator,

The risk is high, and that is the opportunity.

For the investigators of the Bureau, it is asymmetrical for which crisis they face.

A glimmer of opportunity is enough.

"Thank you, sir, for your guidance."

Lao Chen paused, and then put the sunflower as a reward and a tacit understanding between each other, and put it on the stall made of this cloth shop.

"I do very little."

“…… Sir, don't know about Doom Master. Do you have any more information that could give us some inspiration? ”

“……”

"She's been making a difference. Maybe she, along with filth and pestilence, is like a lie to the mother of life. ”

“…… Thank you sir for your guidance. This time, we'll take our leave. ”

After receiving some guidance from the mouth of this mysterious and powerful man, Lao Chen and the investigators did not stay long.

After respectfully saying goodbye to Jing Chen, he left Jing Chen's booth.

Looking at the helicopter carrying Lao Chen and other investigators from the Investigation Bureau,

This street, which was quietly silent and uninhabited by some special objects, slowly had some pedestrians passing by.

However, it may take some time to revert to the previous time.

After a pause, Jing Chen turned his gaze.

Then I felt the entire Wang'an City covered by flesh and blood ability.

stood up, didn't stay on the bank of the Wang'an River, and walked forward.

beside

The agent of fate, the old man Hong's stall,

After Jing Chen left, the old man Hong and his wife, who had been sitting at the back of the stall, also began to clean up the stall.

"Please come back tomorrow."

Old man Hong said with a smile, and the people in front of the stall dispersed one after another.

……

"Mr. Jing, you're back."

Waiting for Jing Chen's figure to reappear in the corridor outside the residence,

Uncle Pang, who seemed to have been waiting at the door for a while, turned around and greeted him with a smile.

"Well, Uncle Pang, I've been waiting for a long time."

"No, no, no, I'm just early. I don't know if the food you brought is still hot, why don't I go to Mr. Jing and go to the kitchen to reheat the dishes? ”

According to the words of the previous two days, Uncle Pang has been there at noon and evening for the past two days to prepare the meals and then pack them over.

"No need. Uncle Pang, go back and rest early...... Is there anything going on over there in the past two days? ”

"It's nothing, Mr. Laojing, you are worried. I felt a little dizzy in the morning, and I had a terrible headache in the afternoon, and said that I might not be able to give Mr. Jing dinner in the evening, so I had to take a leave of absence to go to the hospital...... Listening to the fact that there are still a lot of people in the hospital these days, I don't know what to do. I didn't know that by that time in the afternoon, it would suddenly be fine, and it wouldn't hurt anymore, and I felt that people were quite energetic. ”

"Well, then Uncle Pang, pay attention to your body."

"Okay, okay...... Mr. Najing, if you have dinner, I'll go back first. If the dish is really not hot, you can heat it in the microwave...... Just play for a minute or two. ”

"Hmm. Be careful on the road. ”

Watching Uncle Pang leave, Jing Chen paused again before turning his head and opening the door.

suddenly found that in this city, there are not many people he is familiar with, and Uncle Pang is one.

Pushed the door open.

Jing Chen entered the house.

Take out a few dishes that are placed in various insulated boxes,

Put it on the table one by one, taste it one by one, and after eating this dinner without being in such a hurry.

After cleaning up the leftovers, he walked into the study.

In the study,

The rest of the special drop of blood was still in a glass jar and was placed on the desk.

flew directly back to the house from the window, and landed on Jing Chen's shoulder.

At this time, it fell on Jing Chen's shoulder, just like before, as soon as he entered the study door, his eyes fell on the drop of blood, and he couldn't extricate himself.

Jing Chen looked back at the Blood Eagle who was staring intently, then moved his feet and walked to the desk and sat down.

Looking at the blood beads in the glass jar, Jing Chen reached out and picked up the blood beads with the glass jar and put them in front of him.

He shook the glass jar slightly, thinking at the same time.

He was intending to, and he also used the Enthronement Ritual of the Anomaly Bureau to try to plunder the authority contained in this blood bead.

It's a double insurance with the Abnormal Bureau.

He had already tried to take the blood beads directly as the main ingredient of the potion.

He gained flesh and blood abilities that exceeded the normal potions and he was not affected.

But using the method of ascending the god ritual to plunder, Jing Chen has never tried it, but he has seen all kinds of tragedies when the investigators of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau try in the future picture.

To fail is to die silently.

But it doesn't matter, this world will only live in two or three months anyway......

Jing Chen paused suddenly, his eyes lifted from the glass jar,

He suddenly noticed that he seemed to care less about death.

Since when did it start, the first time you took the potion,

Or is it after taking a potion made from blood beads, or is it just the beginning of the last time?

Jing Chen realized that he didn't seem to care much about death,

But even if he realized it, it didn't make his mood fluctuate much, and he didn't change his plans.

He still intends to use the ascension ritual to plunder the authority of this drop of blood.

Lowering his head, Jing Chen looked at the blood eagle next to the table, still staring straight at the blood beads,

"Don't look at it, it'll be gone soon."

Jing Chen said, and then rubbed the blood-colored feathers on the blood eagle's body vigorously.

Then he turned around and opened the glass jar directly.

Then the glass jar containing the bead of blood was placed on the table.

And Jing Chen himself, directly blooded, his body disappeared, and he directly turned into a touch of blood.

Towards the beads of blood in the glass jar,

It's just that it's not the same picture of the future he sees,

It's just that when the blood color of Jing Chen's incarnation approached, the blood beads trembled.

And then

But it wasn't the blood of Jing Chen's incarnation that melted into that drop of blood,

Instead, the blood beads melted into Jing Chen's body.

The blood bead was wrapped in the blood color of Jing Chen's incarnation, and quickly dissolved, blending into this blood color,

And the blood color of Jing Chen's incarnation did not change in the slightest.

The blood rose, and Jing Chen's figure resurfaced from the blood and sat back at the table.
