Chapter 58: Oni Ancho

Wu Quan saw it in his eyes, but he was helpless.

After all, this is not a healing magic at all, but a very rare "qualitative change" magic.

He must remain absolutely mysterious about Longnsmu's abilities.

After making sure that there were no windows or crevices next to the wooden house that could be peeped into, Wu continued to give instructions with confidence.

"Let's do it!"

Longensm bowed his head in promise.

At the same time, he stretched out his hands and touched the old man's body, as if he was looking for the virus in the old man's body.

Finally found - Longensmu began to inject the power of "qualitative change" into the virus.

"Qualitative change" launched.

Suddenly, Wu could vaguely feel that the air around him was stirring, the ground was also slightly shaking, and the strong smell of dampness and the smell of the old man's corpse seemed to be dissipating.

It's as if it's being eliminated by some kind of force.

This is the power of "qualitative change", a powerful magic that can erase any matter.

Even viruses can be eliminated -

At this time, the old man's body shook violently suddenly, as if he had received a strong electric shock.

The amplitude of the vibration increased until the disgusting appearance began to change.

The chapped skin began to peel off in large quantities, which caused the unknown creature hiding under the skin to appear—Wu was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this a ghost anchovy!? Could it be that the cause of such a disease is the oni anchovy?

The treatment is not over yet, and the old man's body is still changing.

Because of the detachment of the ghost anchovy, the old man's skin gradually produced its original luster, the swollen eyes were decreasing, and the eyelids were able to close peacefully.

The skin of dead wood is like a golden cicada shedding its shell, and the healthy old man is coming to the fore.

End of treatment.

The process takes no more than a minute, but the picture is quite shocking.

Everything seemed to be reborn, the old man's face returned to roundness, and his pale lips gradually became bloody.

Although this process is full of surprises, the point that Wu is more concerned about is the scattered and still struggling on the ground - could these be the monsters that attacked us earlier?

However, Bessemore also said that this "strange disease" had happened as early as a month ago.

Could it be that today is exactly a month after my death?

This is not impossible, the temporal difference between space and reality exists.

That also means that the anniversary of Eynke has long since ended.

Doesn't it seem like you've been in the space for too long?

The ground was full of ghostfish, and it seemed that it was very uncomfortable with the cold wooden floor.

This image also confuses the dense fears - Chiao casts a disgusted look at it.

"It's a disgusting monster, exactly like the siblings around the Night Pavilion."

"No—disgusting to disgusting, but it's still a monster worth cultivating."

"You mean ......?"

"There are various possibilities for evolution in the body of this mid-level monster, and if you can rely on different methods to cultivate or transform, you may be able to cultivate quite amazing power."

"Do you want to collect these monsters?"

"Maybe it's not a bad idea - Chiao, do you know anyone who specializes in transforming monsters?"

"Report to your lordship, the knowledge and knowledge of monsters is none other than that guy in the Night Pavilion."

"Very well, you and Longnsmu will collect these and hand them over to the Night Pavilion after this operation is over."

"Yes."

Wu smiled with satisfaction.

In fact, Wu wants to know more about the habits and origin of these ghost anchovies than the transformation of monsters.

At present, it is only known that the ghost anchovy was created by summoning magic, but it is not normal for it to appear on the plains - if the murderer can be traced after research, it may also have something to do with the inside story of my assassination.

It's something worth looking into.

Sure enough, it was the right choice to choose a village in the east of the plains, and I didn't expect to be able to meet the oni anchovy.

At the same time, he became more and more curious about these monsters.

After giving the order, Wu calmly walked out of the house and called back Behemo and Lola, who were waiting outside.

"Squeak—————

There was another annoying sound of the door opening.

Outside, not only Besimo and Lola, but also the other villagers gathered around them.

Walking back and forth without worry.

"The treatment is complete."

"The result?"

"The process has gone very well, and the fathers of the two have returned to normal."

Besimo and Lola looked surprised, and the other villagers were even more surprised.

This was a disease that had plagued the village for a month, but it was cured in less than a minute.

Sounds like a fantasy.

"Can you show us?"

"The treatment process is over, of course you two can come in and have a look."

"We want to see it too!"

One of the middle-aged female villagers shouted.

Then came the pleas of the villagers, who seemed to be eager to see the impossible miracle.

However, Wu did not intend to let too many people visit—he could not stand the noisy noise when he was recovering from a serious illness.

"I'm sorry - I hope I can let the patient recuperate, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate for so many people to visit at the same time."

"Just take a look—please!"

"Yes, yes! Our family is also suffering from this, and we want to see how quickly the village elder recovers! ”

The villagers were quite determined to visit, but if it didn't work, it wouldn't work.

"I'm sorry, but please go home first."

"Mr. Fortes is right, let's go back to our rooms and rest!"

Lola also calmed everyone's excitement and hurriedly echoed it.

There was a sense of disappointment among the crowd, as if they really wanted to see such a miracle with their own eyes.

Just as Wu thought everyone was about to leave, one of the female villagers suddenly rushed towards the wooden house.

"Wait! What do you want to do? ”

Wu hurriedly drank and stopped-unexpectedly, the female villagers threw bricks and jade, causing the villagers to follow.

More people began to rush to the hut in disobedience, eager to witness the miracle with their own eyes.

Is this the feeling of being suppressed by a long period of panic?

Wu didn't have time to explain this phenomenon.

The old man has just recovered his health, and he needs to recuperate well, so it is absolutely impossible to be so noisy.

It is still impossible to confirm whether the old man's body can withstand this kind of noise.

There is a high chance that something will happen.

But there are too many people, and I don't know how to shout at so many people-

What to do? Even Bessimo and Lola couldn't stop all the villagers from rioting.

There's nothing you can do - even if you have the strength, you don't know how to stop these people.

Now all I have in my head is the desire to immediately control everyone present.

Can it be controlled?

Just as the broken wooden door was about to be broken by the villagers, Wu could only shout helplessly-

"Don't go in——!"

It was this roar that caused a miracle to happen.

A pitch-black aura suddenly erupted around him, and the empty village was instantly filled-

This aura comes from Wu's body.

Maybe Wu himself didn't notice this inexplicable force, but the strangeness of the surrounding villagers deeply shocked Wu.

The villagers seemed to see the horrific picture, and everyone stood in place with shocked faces.

There was no movement.

Obviously, this has something to do with the aura just now.

This silence did not last long, and the villagers gradually became rational.

Then they each walked back to their homes in silence, as if nothing had happened—the scene was unusually eerie.

Not only Wu was shocked, but even Lola and Behemo were deeply shocked.

Surprised eyes both fell on Wu's body.

Maybe Wu himself didn't notice this aura, but he knew it very well.

All of this is done by his own roar.

He froze in place, and all the results exceeded his expectations.

In fact, Wu has already vaguely felt it, this is the feeling that he had before his death.

It's an inexplicable power—not the power of gluttony, is it?

The first time it was used vaguely seems to have been at the temple, when Tyre was approaching him.

At that time, I was very scared, because death was approaching, and there was only one thought in my mind.

Don't come near me.

At the moment when the villagers were about to rush into the wooden house, they also had a very strong obsession.

I hope the villagers don't go into the wooden house to wake up the old man.

Maybe it's just a coincidence, but it can't help but make me think about it.

Could it be that the conditions for triggering this power require a strong obsession?

I don't know - I used it too suddenly, and I didn't pay too much attention to it.

But it's really funny, I didn't expect that I had such a strong strength, and I was born with it.

Is this magic? But didn't gluttony show that he was incapable?

In short, I am not the only eyewitness, and I must explain it well-

The dumbfounded brother and sister walked towards Wu, looking at Wu suspiciously and in horror.

"Mr. Fortes, what is this ......?"

"Well, let's do it first. Let's go first and see how the two fathers are doing. ”

"Good ......"

The dazed brother and sister followed Wu into the wooden house, completely unable to explain the phenomenon just now.

But what the two don't know is that even Wu himself is difficult to explain.

Wu opened the wooden door first - the house was quite clean.

The newly recovered old man was sleeping peacefully, and his original terrifying illness had disappeared.

Putting aside the suspicions that had just been subjected to a strange atmosphere, the brother and sister rushed to care about the old man quite happily.

And Chio and Longensmu on the side greeted Wu's return with a calm attitude.

Maybe they've just felt it—that strange aura.

It was already about five o'clock the next morning.

The village was silent, for the villagers had not yet woken up - but a lonely figure stood in the village.

Wu stood alone in a corner of the village, enjoying the undisturbed tranquility and the cool breeze.

But it's not so much about enjoying as it's about thinking.

He frowned deeply at the sky that was gradually illuminated by the sunrise.

After treating the old man last night, it was confirmed that the old man had returned to his original state, and the brother and sister seemed to be relieved, and at the same time they were quite curious about the whole treatment process.

Of course, he didn't tell them - but he promised that they would treat all the villagers.

In return for freeing up space for us.

Despite the lack of space in the cabin, the siblings piled up the shabby furniture in the corners and struggled to make room for the three of us to sleep.

It's still crowded, but I'm embarrassed.

And this long night, I also thought a lot.

After a series of events last night, I have a few clues-

There is an unknown smell about drinking the villagers.

I can invisibly burst out of a certain breath, and this breath does not come from the power of gluttony, because I used this power before I was alive.

Judging from the reaction of the villagers last night, it seems that this force will tamper with the will of others according to its own will.

To put it simply, it is to forcibly pour one's own orders into the consciousness of others.

But there are certain conditions.

It seems that this force can only have an effect on "specific targets", not if it is an outsider.

The best example of this is Behemo and Lola, who didn't go to their own volition last night.

But this is not surprising - because they did not go against their will, that is, "broke into the cabin".

It can be inferred that this force seems to be able to pick up targets, but it is still uncertain how widely it can be used.

Based on this argument, Wu is even more puzzled - why was Thiel not controlled by me in the first place?

At that time, I was very sure that I had indeed burst out with the same power as last night.

This remains an unsolved mystery, perhaps the deeper meaning behind this power.

Of course, last night's discovery wasn't the only one.

There are "side effects" about this body.

It may seem too subjective to say that the side effects are true, but for the current self, they are indeed very disturbing "symptoms".

First of all – you don't seem to need sleep.

This is a fact to be confirmed, but I did not sleep all night.

However, I still don't feel tired.

Even though I tossed and turned, I didn't feel tired at all, and I suddenly forgot the comfort of falling asleep.

Moreover, at the same time that I found myself losing sleep – my "partial sense of touch" seemed to be gone.

You can still feel the sensation of touching objects, but only the "temperature" and "pain" aspects suddenly disappear.

I can't feel the coolness brought by the cold wind at night, and I can't feel the coldness of the thin bamboo lid.

Early this morning, I walked out of the house barefoot, but I didn't know that the sole of my right foot had stepped on the hard gravel. I was supposed to be screaming in pain, but when I returned to the house to wash the soles of my feet, I noticed blood gushing out.

The wound was there, but it didn't feel any pain.

This is a very negative phenomenon – because just because just because the sensation is gone, it doesn't mean it's not life-threatening.

It is not yet possible to determine the maximum limit of a "hunger strike", but there is a maximum limit to any magic.

Of course, this will need to be carefully observed in the future.

In addition, there is the latest information about the "Onishad".

Although he had been aware of it, he did not expect to invade this village so soon.

However, the cause of the incident appears to be different from what was originally expected.

Last night, in order to make sure how much the difference between space and reality was, I pretended to have forgotten the date and asked Lola for the exact date of yesterday - the result was very unexpected.

Yesterday was the 26th of October—the night of my death.

Staying in space by yourself is only about three hours—if you count the hour of the gluttonous real body going to the human world.

A rough estimate of his death was about eight o'clock in the morning, and it was already nine o'clock in the evening when he arrived in the village.

If these things happen on the same day, it means that the whole process is only thirteen hours.

Three hours in space is thirteen hours in the real world, and the time difference is even less than imagined.

But this is enough to bother yourself for a long time - about the timing of the ghost anchovy.

That's right! The village had been infested by anchovid a month earlier, and the damage was so severe that it was clearly different from the pod of anchovies we had encountered.

As can be seen from yesterday's illness of the village chief, this batch of ghost anchovies seems to be more violent than the previous species that attacked us, and even a "virus" that will cause harm to the human body for a long time.

But after all, it's just a mid-level monster - relying on the "qualitative change" of Longensmu, he can easily drive out all the ghost anchots in the village chief's body, although he still accidentally destroys a few in the process.

Of course, it is also possible that the oni ancho that escaped from the village sneaked up a month after the attack and passed through us in the east.

In any case, this group of unnatural monsters has been surviving in the wild for a month.

What is even more exaggerated is that not half of the country is aware of it.

This kind of existence, which is clearly a threat to all species, is bound to attract the attention of countries - it is too strange.

Someone must have maliciously concealed this.

"Night Pavilion - are you there?"

Wu suddenly asked into the air—but soon there was a shriveled response, faintly coming from the cuffs.

It is a splinter of the Night Pavilion that was previously hidden in the cuff of the Wu.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Well, I have something I want to ask you."

"If it's a matter of ability, I'm very happy to do it."

"According to the reports of the splinters who inhabit Kurt and the Sirens, they have found a suitable permanent residence, right?"

"Yes."

Wu didn't think much of it, and didn't ask what kind of place Kurt and Siren had found.

Just confirm with the Night Court.

"In that case, pass the word to the two of them, and I'll arrange for Chio to join them, and then Chio will join Kurt and the Sirens in their actions, and be responsible for assisting them in their future course of action."

"Do you mean to make Chio your agent?"

"It's worthy of the Night Pavilion, and it understands so quickly and accurately."

"You've won a prize."

The Night Pavilion still calmly thanked Wu for his praise.

"By the way—according to Chiao, you seem to know a lot about monsters?"

"Don't dare to be, it's just a trivial knowledge and understanding, not enough to worry about."

"So what do you think of the 'Monster Mutation'? It's okay to say it though. ”

"Mutation......? Report to my lord, the monster belongs to a special species of drastic changes in the elements in the body, and its existence itself is the product of mutation, if you want to carry out further mutations, I am afraid it will be difficult. ”

"But you don't deny it, do you?"

"It's really undeniable."

"Then you should know the monster 'Onishak', right?"

"Yes, this is a mid-level monster born through summoning magic."

As Thiel and Kurt introduce, this is the third time Wu has heard about the origin of the onishak.

But it's definitely not because he doubts Tyre and Kurt - Wu has some kind of speculation about the anchovies.
