Chapter 359 Gobble
"When did I say we can't do it?" Lao Mo asked back, "I just said that the extraordinary power extracted from these nocturnal species is too complex, and absorbing it rashly will only deepen the pollution and make you fall."
"Isn't that the same meaning?"
"Yes..." Old Silently, "So I didn't let you absorb it, but let you eat..."
"Supernatural power is the blue bar, but my status is "dead" and you are "alive", so once I leave the canteen area, the blue bar begins to be consumed in an unrecoverable way, but you can recover yourself. Eating food only speeds up your recovery. "
"Your recovery speed has been growing... I have been absorbing your extraordinary power along the way, but I just didn't realize it."
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "I always thought it was the influence of the gray fog!"
"That's only part of it, and part of the reason is because of me. So you can think that the consumption of extraordinary power in your body is twice the normal amount..."
"No...Old Mo, you haven't consumed any of your "blue" until now, right?!" Lin Yi's voice rose a bit, thinking to himself, no wonder I still think I have a weak kidney. I dare you to use my body fourteen times a night? !
Lao Mo coughed dryly: "That's not true... I used a little of my own. After all, you need your own battery to start the car, and then it starts to burn oil."
Such a metaphor made Lin Yi's lips twitch. He thought of how when Lao Mo used "Layer Jump", he used his own extraordinary power as a trigger, and then almost drained him dry...
So, this kind of operation was almost always done along the way? !
"Holy shit..."
Lao Mo said with a straight face, "After absorbing the extraordinary power of the matrix, I thought it was enough to support the use of "Layer Jump", but I didn't expect that you interacted with the "Shadow of the Root" when you came into contact with the scales, so that knife... consumed all the extraordinary power I extracted from the matrix. 》
Lin Yi felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
He was still wondering why along the way, he never saw Lao Mo again using the trick that almost tore the layer apart.
That sword killed the gods and Buddhas, which shocked him greatly.
He thought that the sword would consume a lot of energy, but seeing Lao Mo's calm demeanor, he almost thought that Lao Mo's flat A was unparalleled. Only now did he realize that the foundation of that sword was based on the energy consumption of the matrix.
It is a limited skill that requires half the power of the matrix to be used.
It's no wonder...
Lao Mo said: "Don't be so aggressive. I didn't say it just now. Have you not reacted yet? Do you think that is your normal state? Do you know what this means?"
Lin Yi shook his head.
Lao Mo said: "It's like you have been carrying a load along the way, and the weight you are carrying is getting bigger and bigger, but you have 'adapted' along the way. This means that when you leave me and return to campus... your own use of extraordinary power will increase by several levels."
"A person who can still eat, drink, and defecate normally while carrying a load of 100KG, when this load is removed, still has to float on his iron legs? In the future, ordinary angel sculptures want to kill you and float on their iron legs, how can it be so easy?"
"And the art building is free of charge. The extraordinary power itself is very strong, and you can recover faster than other places. "
When Lin Yi heard this, he felt a sense of accomplishment, and couldn't help but feel smug: "What you said seems to make sense."
"So please bear with me."
"Ah? How can I bear it...ah——"
Old Mo's gray eyes instantly turned into a cold golden color. His domain slowly enveloped Lin Yi, and the terrifying suction force exploded in an instant, almost pulling out his soul.
In just a few breaths, Lin Yi felt like he had been drained dry. This feeling was like cutting him open and digging out everything in his body. It was overbearing, but it left him a slight chance to survive.
"Don't be afraid, kid." Lao Mo's voice rang in his ears, "Your recovery power has never reached its upper limit. Take advantage of this opportunity. Even the boss cannot have the precise control that I can to keep you in a state of "immortality until the last drop of blood" like me."
Feelings of hunger and exhaustion gradually enveloped Lin Yi, and Lin Yi began to frantically absorb the extraordinary power around him. At the same time, he grabbed the food at hand without any image. However, when he put the food to his mouth, he realized that his "faceless" self had no mouth.
He was stunned for a moment, and then, driven by instinct, he stretched out his hand and touched the corner of his mouth...
Like opening a zipper, he opened a huge gash in the arc of his mouth, from the left ear to the right ear, like a terrifying rag doll with a gap.
This scene stunned Lao Mo, who had planned to help him open his mouth, but Lin Yi didn't realize anything was wrong at all and continued to eat all the food he could catch.
The baggage made of folded sheets that he carried behind his back, the contents of it were scattered a lot when he continued to encounter nocturnal species, but the quantity was still considerable, and now it became the focus of his care.
The more "normal" supernatural power in the air was devoured by Lin Yi crazily. Gradually, whether it was the part floating in the air or the part squeezed out of the body of the night-walker, they were all swallowed into his body by Lin Yi without distinguishing between friend and foe.
Lao Mo was shocked when he saw this. He was about to slow down the absorption process to give Lin Yi a breather, but at this moment, he suddenly froze.
“What’s going on with this kid?!”
Lin Yi was like a madman rummaging through garbage in the trash can. There was some flickering light in his eyes. He violently tore open the packaging of bread, biscuits and other food, and then kept putting it into his mouth. At the same time, his body was like a filter filtering extraordinary power. A large amount of extraordinary power was absorbed into his body, while all the unused "dross" was discharged.
This form is like a... Klein bottle with a filter?
Lao Mo rubbed his eyes, a little in disbelief, thinking to himself, could this kid have become a sperm in a Klein bottle?
Are you going to be so outrageous? !
He understands the boss more and more. If he discovers such a "magical" guy, he may not know how to train him. How can he easily let others toss him?
Understand the boss, become the boss, and surpass the boss.
Just like...he came to save Mu Daxian?
"Hey, things are surprisingly different..." Lao Mo smacked his lips and subconsciously touched his chin, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was being very unkind.
Even if it's not kind, it seems to be a little...stupid.
Because this strategy seems to be very good, but it seems to have a flaw and is a bit troublesome. In fact, the biggest problem is how to pass on the false news that "Lin Yi was in the bell tower"...
As soon as this problem arises, everything comes back.
If you have the ability to spread false news back to the campus, all my people are fucking back!
I am really a little genius...
Lao Mo sometimes feels that he has a sense of gray humor. Of course, thinking about these things when he is "recharging" can still play a role in adjusting the atmosphere, and this kind of "human color" thinking can also allow him to effectively distinguish himself from the call from the Art Building.
On the other hand, Lin Yi, while frantically devouring extraordinary power and food, gradually behaved more like some kind of beast hiding in a dark corner to secretly enjoy its prey. The slightly arched back and the faint "buzzing" sound coming from his throat made him look more and more terrifying.
If Lao Mo hadn't been able to see Lin Yi and only heard the noise coming from Lin Yi's side, he would have really thought that there was a wild beast lurking there.
Occasionally Lao Mo couldn't help but wonder that compared to Lin Yi, who looked like a normal person most of the time, but didn't even look like a human being at critical moments, he, a dead person, seemed more alive.
Lin Yi's stomach was like a bottomless pit as he devoured the food. After finishing a mouthful of bread and a mouthful of tomatoes, he drank some water. By the end of the meal, all the food nearby was almost eaten, and only half a pack of tomatoes was left at hand.
He reached out to grab the tomatoes, but his backpack was snatched away by Lao Mo.
"Huh...?!" Lin Yi looked at Lao Mo fiercely like a beast that had been deprived of the food in his mouth. Two black-edged golden vortexes appeared in the eye sockets that could not be seen except for the zipper-like mouth, like the ghostly light in the terrifying deep sea.
His body tensed up and began to exert force, like a swift cheetah that was ready to attack and was about to pounce.
Looking at Lin Yi like this, Lao Mo frowned and his tone was like a command: "That's enough."
"Huh--" Lin Yi seemed not to hear it, and rushed out like a blue lightning, targeting the backpack.
However, Lao Mo's speed was faster than Lin Yi at this moment. He grabbed Lin Yi's gaping, evil rag doll-like faceless face, and then slammed him onto the solid stone ground at his feet!
"I said...enough!!"
"Boom!!"
The sound of impact sounded, so dull that it seemed to crack the stone slabs underfoot.
Lin Yi's body was smashed to the ground in a strange way, like a piece of xylitol that had been stepped on, but it began to repair itself in the blink of an eye until it returned to its original state.
Apart from these strange signs in body movements, Lin Yi's eyes quickly recovered.
"I..." Lin Yi sat up halfway and touched his slightly swollen head, "...I'm fine."
Lao Mo opened his mouth and said silently: "I think I've confirmed that you're okay..."
He pulled Lin Yi up from the ground and looked at Lin Yi up and down, as if looking at some strange creature.
Lin Yi felt his heart tremble at the sight of Lao Mo, and subconsciously rubbed the goosebumps on his arms: "What's wrong?"
Lao Mo shook his head slightly: "Do you have any impression of what just happened...?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I was gobbling, and then you suddenly took away the backpack. I reached out to grab it, and then you pushed me to the ground..."
"emmmm... was it just 'pressed to the ground'?"
"Ah? No?"
Lao Mo exhaled slowly through his nose in silence: "..."
< br/> Lin Yi: "Huh?"
Lao Mo shook his head: "Nothing..."
He threw the backpack with half a pack of tomatoes left to Lin Yi: "It's not good to eat too much. Let's carry the rest. Let's go upstairs."
Compared to the road we have walked along this way, although this corridor is dark, there is not even a shadow of a nocturnal species. It seems to be a piece of pure land in the art building.
The candlesticks on both sides of the corridor emitted little candlelight, illuminating a limited area.
Lin Yi followed Lao Mo for a while, looked down at the time, and found that the time had already passed 1 o'clock.
He was a little surprised, and then he realized that he had just been focusing on eating, but he didn't expect that it took more than 40 minutes.
"Look at the time?" Lao Mo's voice sounded.
"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded.
"It's okay..." Lao Mo nodded and continued to move forward.
Lin Yi pursed his lips and couldn't help but asked: "Old Mo...what's going on with that music box? I mean, you seemed to be tight-lipped when you were in the gallery before. I wonder if we can talk about this matter after we leave the gallery?"
In From Lin Yi's perspective, if the music box had a mechanism similar to the "Shadow of the Root", then there would be no problem in talking about it after leaving the gallery. Moreover, compared to the "Shadow of the Root", an existence near the matrix that could not even be named, Lao Mo still muttered the name of "Amon's Music Box".
"You mean..."Amon's music box"? Lao Mo asked while observing the environment in front of him.
Yes.
"That thing... is a creation with extraordinary characteristics."
Lin Yi's heart moved slightly. Within the scope of the art building, there are many creations with extraordinary characteristics, but it is definitely not simple for Lao Mo to treat it so seriously. , he couldn't help but wonder: "Is the creator of that music box special? "Amon's music box"..."Amon"...was it created by someone else and given to the person named "Amon", or was it created by the person named "Amon"? "
"It was created by "Amon"."
"Amon..."the original apostle"—one of the earliest "apostles" recorded in the Secret Codex. Even the concept of "apostle" was proposed by them..."
"And 'Amon'... More than 90% of the entire Black Moon Outpost area was designed by him alone."
"He is also one of the few "apostles" in history to have the title..."
Lao Mo's expression was heavy and scary. He narrowed his eyes, as if reciting some kind of name, and slowly spit out the title:
""Designer". 》
