Chapter 67: You Can't Be Counted as Human anymore

Rolley opens his properties panel again.

"Energy: -74"

It didn't take long for his energy to go to the situation of negative hundreds, but the strange thing is that according to normal thinking, shouldn't the negative attribute represent a negative effect? Even if it is taken literally, it should make him less focused on things, right?

But why didn't he feel that something was wrong with him?

"Then again......"

He remembered that he also had an "attribute flipping experience card".

Maybe he used this, and under his detailed perception, he might be able to detect details that are contrary to the positive value?

"Rolley."

Just as Rolley was in thought, Gray behind him suddenly grabbed him.

"Don't go any further."

Subconsciously raised his head, Luo Lai just wanted to ask why, but suddenly he didn't say anything again.

Because the reason for Gray to hold him was already in front of him.

At this moment, the monsters that were crawling on the ground before seemed to be no longer restrained and confined and were in a state of complete free movement.

What happens when so many monsters come together?

The aggressive monsters have already fought each other, making the already dilapidated ruins fill a few more big holes, and the naturally good monsters are unwilling to participate in this dispute and seem to be unable to leave directly, so they can only hide in the corner silently.

"Let's go somewhere else." Rolley makes a decision.

Although the combat power of monsters of the same level is generally not as good as that of humans of the same level due to spiritual reasons, it means that in a one-on-one situation, such a number of monsters, no student will want to easily attract their attention, and then usher in a siege.

It's just a pity that when people usually hope that something is better off not happening, then the probability of the opposite answer will usher in a huge increase.

For example, now.

Rolley tried to avoid the group of monsters, but as soon as he made a move, almost all of them stopped what they were doing at that moment - they could even get rid of almost.

Fighting, fleeing, eager to try, faintly restless, as long as the monsters are present, almost all of them focus their attention on Lolai.

"This ...... Not really......" The mountain-like oppression from the monster made Card's feet go a little weak, "We're just passing by!" ”

Although the sudden appearance of some alien creatures in countless similar creatures is indeed worthy of everyone's side attention, this sense of oppression ...... How did he feel that these monsters didn't just want to look at them?

More like ...... Wants to kill them.

"What the hell is going on? Which monster has we hurt since we came in, right? Even if they don't have the intelligence, they should be able to smell that we are not very threatening....."

"Nope." Lolai, who was staring at the monsters, suddenly said, "They're afraid of us. ”

"Huh?" Hearing Luolai's words, Kad was slightly stunned, "Monsters? Afraid of us? ”

"Is there anything surprising?" Luo Lai said, "It is written in 'Magical Biology' that for any creature with intelligence, even if it is only a trace of it, 'fear' is their most basic physiological instinct, and it is not an incomprehensible thing that monsters can fear, right? ”

"No, I mean...... Why are they afraid of us? ”

"Just because I just woke up? Do they feel threatened by me? ”

Card's left index finger lit a small flame that could light a cigar, and wrapped his right hand around it could only extinguish the small flame.

"Because of this?"

"......" Rolley didn't bother to talk to him.

"Why?"

At this point, Grey spoke, but the focus of her questions was different.

Here's what she asked:

"Why can you feel the fear of monsters?"

This is something very wrong.

Humans have a wealth of tools to identify mood swings in their own kind, including facial expressions, body movements, and verbal communication.

But the monsters are of different shapes, and the way they perceive things is also different, some monsters nod "negative", some monsters grin "sad", even if they raise their fists and smash them in your face, it is not necessarily hostile.

They are naturally born creatures and are not bound by society, so no one will teach them to laugh and cry when they are happy, and there will be no specific rules to restrict their every move.

Each monster is a separate individual, and even the way of thinking of monsters of the same type will be different.

It is almost impossible for humans to distinguish their emotions by looking at them with the naked eye.

But how did Rolley do it?

Grey, who has always had her own unique way of looking at everything, noticed Rolley's anomaly at a glance and asked questions.

It's just that Luo Lai was also stunned by her question.

"Why ......"

There doesn't seem to be a reason.

He was simply aware of the hostility of the monsters towards him, and the fear that the hostility came from deep within his consciousness.

"No, it's not."

It wasn't that he hadn't seen monsters when he entered the secret realm, but at that time, he obviously didn't have this kind of intuitive perception.

So what came up in between?

Rolley sensed that this might be the effect of "energy" becoming negative.

But he still couldn't understand why negative "energy" had such an effect.

At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Grey on the side.

"Senpai." Slowly retreating to dodge the monsters that were gradually advancing, Luo Lai asked in a deep voice, "You say, if you use numbers to quantify people's mental power, and the normal value is positive, what does a negative number mean?" ”

Grey paused in her retreating steps and said suspiciously.

"A normal person is an integer, so isn't a negative number an abnormal person?"

“.......”

Rolley choked.

Well...... Not to mention, this is indeed an answer that cannot be refuted.

But it wasn't the answer he was looking for.

So Rolley put it another way.

"Then, what will happen if the "nothing" representing spiritual power among the five elements becomes negative?"

"This ......"

Grey was lost in thought, and after a while, she spoke slowly.

"This is an impossible situation, because the fifth element is the basis of all matter, and it cannot be in debt."

"But what if it's negative?"

"Even if it's negative, it can't be a gap, absolutely impossible." Gray said calmly, "Besides, the negative symbol doesn't just mean missing, it also has the meaning of 'antisense'. ”

"The opposite of the positive."

"If the "spiritual power" you possess as a normal person becomes negative, it does not mean that you no longer have the element of "mental power", but it should be explained that the "mental power" that constitutes you is no longer the "mental power" with the same characteristics as human beings."

"To put it simply, it's ......."

"—you can't be counted as a human anymore."
