Codenamed "The Other Titus" Dolphin takes a deep breath to demonstrate. To avoid being exposed in front of too many people, he didn't take off the black goggles that covered half of his face when he spoke—as did most of the rest of Shüdra's troops. They can occasionally take off their masks to breathe in front of people who are not in the know, but black goggles are never taken off at any time.

After taking a deep breath, he pulled his arms in, squeezing as much air as he could in his lungs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, unlike last time, this time I need you to inhale a lot of these EITR potions. Instead of taking a shallow breath, try to empty your lungs of all the air and fill them up. But I would like to remind you that this is the ultimate goal. Please gradually increase the amount of EITR between multiple inhalations, as we do not yet know what will happen to the inhaled EITR of the Qi practitioners. You are the first ones. ”

With that, he paused, waiting for some response from below, because he couldn't force these students to participate in the experiment.

Shang Luo asked, "Are we the first batch?" ”

"To be precise, you are not the first to pass through two towers. There have been cases of using EITR in small doses before you, so you can inhale it directly when you go to Alexandria, and that just creates a protective color. But to do a phlogiston sneak directly is unprecedented. ”

"Have you done any theoretical research before?"

"Unfortunately, there is no way to conduct theoretical research, and we are completely on the same page, because we have taken completely different paths. The only thing that can be used in general is 'introductory' knowledge such as the Introduction to the Occult, which can only be introduced in principle. For example, just like "The Art of War", it mainly introduces some basic principles and general principles of military science, and we also learn them. But you can't fight a war with just one copy of "The Art of War", right? If you want to train soldiers, you have to read drill manuals, such as "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness". ”

"Hmm, so we need to give it a try?" Shang Luo looked at the cylinders. He recalled the feeling of inhaling the EITR, and while the chill dissipated quickly, it was still not very pleasant.

But the main problem is not him here. As the main beneficiary of the branch breaking ceremony, of course he will not have an opinion, anyway, it is for himself anyway.

Here are the opinions of several other people to be taken into account.

"I'm okay with that!" Han Xingzhi raised his hand, "My eldest brother's business is my business!" ”

"I'm okay with that." Lu Liang gave an answer. I heard that she was looking for a place to practice. She had just gained her true power through the sea of bottled air, and now she looked like a gopher out of a hole.

"Eh" Wen Yuan didn't react yet, and the answers of the other two people didn't think about it at all, and he thought about it a little.

"I'm okay with that." Wen Yuan replied, "Friends and the like aside, from the last experience, the negative effects of such experiments are controllable. If a large dose causes unacceptable effects, a small dose does not cause nothing. So, you can try it and increase the amount slowly. Shangluo's affairs are very important, so even if there is danger, we have to try to overcome it. ”

"Okay." Titus, codenamed Dolphin, nodded, "Let's get started." Please also sit in the sun as you do now, as this will minimize discomfort. Then just inhale and inhale slowly, and I'll time it. You can stop early, but don't exceed that. The first time was about 10 seconds. ”

"What's the limit?" Shang Luo asked.

"3 minutes and 30 seconds, that's the average time it takes to drown in the water. Yes, the essence of the process is to drown in the waters of the River Styx before you can enter the world of the night - but in reality you don't drown, because the mask ventilates externally, the oxygen is still inhaled, and drowning is just a feeling; But this feeling is so real that it creates some unpredictable psychological barriers, which is a problem that can arise for everyone. But the system of Qi practitioners is much stronger, and we don't know how much to suck. In short, just inhale it to produce the feeling of drowning. So, here we go. ”

The preparations were soon over. With the cylinder on their backs, 4 people sat in the sun and began to inhale as if practicing diving.

Shang Luo is also among them. He tried to take a sip first.

Sure enough, as Titus said, the first bite made him feel suffocated. He could clearly feel the air being inhaled from his back, but the EITR agent gave him an irresistible feeling of suffocation. He could even tell unequivocally that the suffocation was not coming from his lungs, but from his brain. Thinking he was going to drown, he instinctively took off his mask.

The early summer midday sun shone on my body, and the discomfort began to melt away like ice and snow in an instant. Although it didn't disappear immediately, it gave him a sense of happiness for the rest of his life.

"Sure enough, it's still a little uncomfortable." He was about to describe his feelings to Titus when the three men next to him suddenly took off their masks at the same time.

Han Xingzhi was the first to find the problem: "No! Not right! This thing can't be sucked! ”

1 minute later.

"Hmm," Lu Huaiyang put down his mask, "I really can't suck it." As Han described, when your EITR potions reach a certain concentration, they will collide violently with our aura and then eliminate each other. I'm afraid we won't be able to produce any effect until we drain our aura. Is there a lot of this EITR? ”

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Titus the dolphin asked.

"Because this seems to be a very good interrogation tool, which can allow the qi practitioner to return to mortal beings in a short period of time, and there will be no irreparable consequences. As long as the ambient concentration of this EITR potion is maintained, the spiritual power can be continuously suppressed, and the withdrawal of the elixir can be quickly restored. Well, do you have any of that? ”

"It's a lot in quantity, but the yield is fixed. If I want to share it with you, it may require a very high-level exchange of interests - but I can interpret your words as 'unusable', right? ”

"That's right. This can be seen as 'anti-Reiki' or 'anti-Reiki' in a way. They can't suck, or they'll lose their power even if they start the ritual. Do they have to inhale these agents to participate in the branching? ”

"It doesn't have to be inhaled. We started the Golden Bough Ritual long before we got the EITR, and the Golden Bough Ritual predates the creation of all these magic items. It's just that in this way, they can't use many of Rome's magical facilities, which is really regrettable. ”

"That's not a big deal. Actually, I had a hunch from the beginning, after all, there is no way for you to cultivate the truth over there. Instead, how is the ritual going to be performed? ”
