"From your description, it seems that Wuzi is possessed by a strange monster? It's the shadow she saw in the fog."
The 37th floor of the Mysterious Tower, in the legendary residence of the brave team, a young man with short fiery red hair analyzed: "And it sounds... it feels like a weird rule."
"If she acts coquettishly three times, her eyes will turn black. If she fulfills one more wish, she will be able to change back to her original form..." Asuna gently put her hand on Kiriko's arm to comfort her: "It's okay, everyone will help you. Find a way to recover.”
Wuzi was a little depressed: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone. I can feel that there is another consciousness in my body, but it refuses to communicate with me. I also completely lost it when I was 'acting like a baby' and 'making a wish' Control over the body.”
Negishi Yoshiyuki beside him also comforted him: "We will definitely have a way to get rid of this monster, Kiriko!"
His eyes turned to the dozen or so people around him for help.
At this time, three hours had passed since Kiriko's situation appeared on the 51st floor. He was surrounded by his more trusted friends, including Kirito Asuna, excluding Eugene and others, because he was worried that they would do something. Unfavorable judgment for Kiriko.
Wistoko's previous changes really frightened him and the other three people in the team.
The dark eyes and mouth were indescribably weird and ominous. If it weren't for Kiriko, he might have made the judgment that "it needs to be shot."
It was relatively easy for Kiriko to recover. After just asking, 'that thing' told him the rules of making wishes. Negishi Yoshiyuki had the courage to make a wish of 'hug me'. After that thing did it, Kiriko It changed back to its original state.
But there is such a thing in Wuzi's body, and he can't rest assured unless it is eradicated.
Everyone understood the situation and began to think in silence. Kirito and Asuna looked at each other and thought of a name at the same time - Ji Xing.
With that kind of health bar ability, is there a way to kill monsters without hurting Kiriko?
However, the risk is not yet certain...
“Eugeru, I want a glass of water.”
At this moment, Wuzi suddenly spoke, causing the surrounding area to become silent, and even the sound of breathing disappeared.
coming? !
The man named ‘Yujiru’ is a young man with short red hair, who is from another attack team. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Wuzi to ask for water if she wanted to. Is this "acting like a baby"?
Negishi Yoshiyuki looked over quickly, and Yugiru shook his head: "Okay, okay, I'm still thinking about what will happen if I don't cooperate. Since you are worried about hurting Kiriko, don't try it now."
He walked to the kitchen next to him and got a glass of water for Kiriko. Kiriko didn’t drink it, but continued: "Eugeru, I want a candy."
“Here, there happens to be one.”
“Eugeru, I want a piece of paper.”
When the paper was handed to Wuzi, everyone's eyes were fixed on her face, but no one could see the process of change clearly. Just the moment Wuzi took the paper, her face changed!
The black eyes and the pitch-black mouth are not scary, but they are indeed weird and abrupt.
Everyone was a little wary, and Yugilu scratched his head with a headache: "The next step is to make a wish, right? What can you make, but you can't also ask for a hug?"
Negishi Yoshiyuki's face turned slightly green: "Don't mess around, Yugiru, just ask for a candy."
"Wait a minute." At this time, another strong man with a goatee interrupted: "Only the person who satisfies her coquettishness can make a wish? How big is the range of wishes? Monster, I wish you to come out of Kiriko's body."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they looked at the "blackened" Kiriko, but she did not give a reaction. Yugiru repeated it again, but he was not "satisfied" either.
"Ha, you are a pretentious guy." The strong man with a goatee smiled: "It seems that he is wise, but he is pretending to be mysterious and not communicating with us. Then you can't just satisfy the wish of kissing, hugging and eating sweets, right? What is this called making a wish? If it really exists If I have the ability...let me become the strongest player."
“Just do it!” Negishi Yoshiyuki frowned.
This goatee-bearded man is named Fujino Kazuki. He is a fitness fanatic in the strategy team. In reality, he seems to be a fitness coach. He has always been proud of his physical strength and was the first to reach the extremely strong level, with the goal of becoming the strongest player.
But don’t mess around at this time! Whether it's hurting yourself or Wuzi...
Fortunately, Wuzi probably won't...
The girl's clear and sinister reply echoed, instantly making the room quiet again.
No way…
Boom!
The next moment, a powerful thought energy that he had never felt before swelled from Wuzi's body!
The eaves could not block it at all, forming a beam of light that surged into the sky, causing the players in the 37th-level town to look at each other in amazement.
Yoshiyuki Negishi, Kirito and others who were around him were all shaken away in shock. Only Fujinoichi, who had made a wish, stood there and felt a huge power being continuously injected into his body!
The muscles are obviously expanding.
Spiritual power is obviously increasing.
After a brief daze, he opened the information column in surprise and waved to those who looked at him in shock: "I'm fine! No, I'm fine!"
“Hahahaha, it’s amazing!”
“It’s like cheating?!”
“Extremely strong has reached level 4, and I will jump up to level 330,000 with experience! It’s level 5!”
“My spiritual power is also improving, it’s B-! It’s going to be B-level soon, my God! Hahaha~”
“I’m getting stronger! I’m really becoming the strongest!”
No way? ! Everyone was shocked. Looking at Wuzi again, the information column couldn't be a lie, so... the ability of this thing is so exaggerated? !
“Stop it! Just for a moment! Don’t waste Kiriko’s power!” Negishi Yoshiyuki shouted worriedly.
"It's okay, isn't this good?" Immersed in the pleasure of increasing strength, Fujino waved his hand casually, not noticing that a few white hairs had been added to his hair.
Kirito noticed it keenly, and his eyes narrowed slightly - it is impossible to improve without any cost, is it overdrafting the potential? !
Just as he was about to remind me, Fujino Kazuki's loud laughter rang out again: "I've reached level 10 of extreme strength. It seems I'm going to be upgraded to absolute strength! My spiritual power has also reached B+, and I'm about to beat Toguru Brother!"
Poof—as soon as he finished speaking, a blood mark suddenly appeared on the side of his upper arm, and a sharp pain hit him, causing his smile to falter slightly.
What's wrong? The next moment, the severe pain coming from blood vessels, internal organs, and muscles all over his body made his face distorted and he fell to the ground!
“Ah—it hurts so much!”
"as soon as?!"
ifies
Wuzi (black) means you are not enough.
When Fujinoichi's strength level in the information column jumped to absolute strength (level 1), his spiritual power also reached A- level, and he suddenly shattered.
Like a torn doll, the broken flesh and blood and internal organs were shot everywhere! The unbearable head rolled to the feet of Kirito who wanted to interrupt Kiriko, causing an instant silence in the room! The powerful mental energy in Kiriko's body faded away, and her face finally returned to normal. She shook weakly. The moment she fell, she was caught by Negishi Yoshiyuki, who reacted, and fell into a coma.
“Dead as soon as…?!”
"how so?"
“The corpse is so broken that even the Resurrection Grass can’t repair it. This **** is messing around... How is Kiriko? Are you okay?!”
"That's not strengthening." Kirito, who had seen a lot of life and death, tried to calm down and said: "Have you noticed that Ichi looked like a middle-aged man in his 50s before he died? That was letting him overdraw his potential. Quickly gain the power of the future.”
“So... maybe the limit is extreme strength level 10 and spiritual strength B+? If you strengthen beyond the limit, it will end up being exploded alive?”
“What a cunning and insidious monster! I knew I just wanted to be the strongest player, but I kept pushing him to the limit! With extremely strong strength of 10 and B+ spiritual power, I’m already ahead of everyone!”
“Damn it, as soon as…”
Everyone complained that he was acting recklessly, but they felt unworthy and confused because of his death.
Furthermore, the abilities of this mysterious monster on the 51st floor seem to be a bit exaggerated...
…
“Something is looking at me.”
On the 49th floor of the Mysterious Tower, Ji Xing, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing the Holy Thought Qi, felt a sense of being spied on and looked around in surprise.
Can’t find the source?
It shouldn’t be the players, but some special situation occurred on the 56th floor? After clearing the 55th floor early in the morning, he only went up to the 56th floor for a short walk and then went home to practice instead of exploring further.
“The feeling of peeping is gone, no, it’s more like scanning than peeping.”
Ji Xing walked out of the house and took a walk. He didn't notice anything strange. Just when he was about to return, the communication crystal rang.
As usual, it's Argo's.
The other party is holding a strategy group meeting again. Speaking of which, Argo rarely participated in strategy group meetings. It was only after Ji Xing gave her the information about Brother Toguro that the Treasure Rat Guild's presence was strengthened again, and after knowing 'Ji Xing is related to the mysterious team', and Argo will not miss the most cutting-edge information and intelligence.
Argo was not speaking on the other side of the communication crystal, it was just relaying the meeting to him.
After listening to just a few words, Ji Xing's eyes lit up: "Yes!" This is one of the five major disasters in the Dark Continent along with the immortal disease, a dependent body of desire, and a gas life form!
It is a strange life form that can attach itself to other people's bodies and bring about a second personality. It has the theoretically unlimited ability to fulfill other people's wishes and get back the corresponding price from those who act like a spoiled child later. Unexpectedly That girl named Kiriko will fall for it.
The situation is equivalent to Killua’s younger brother (sister), Alluga who was beaten and imprisoned by the enemy Hakka! Among the five major disasters, Ji Xing is most interested in this kind of gas life angstrom!
According to Ji Xing's judgment, it is the ultimate embodiment of the oath and restriction of Nian ability, touching the regular life of Nian's origin! Even if it wasn't, it was still a carrier of rules that Ji Xing had never come into contact with - desire and wish.
After his Nian ability (human) was raised to the limit, while Ji Xing was creating the Holy Nian Qi, he was also thinking about building a new ability.
“If there is an angstrom for research, new capabilities will probably be built very easily.”
He listened carefully to the conversation in the communication crystal and quickly learned the location where Ai appeared.
The death of Fujino Kazuki probably had something to do with Ji Xing. The most powerful player was none other than Ji Xing.
If you make a wish to become the second strongest player, you might be able to realize your overdraft potential, but this wish is also a bit 'greedy'. When Kiriko wakes up, the next three acts of coquettishness will probably be very troublesome. When the situation is unclear, this player Too messy.
Argo's goal in contacting him should be to warn the 'Mysterious Team' to be careful, and also hope to get information from Ji Xing. This is the mutual benefit Ji Xing wants to get from the players.
If he was left to look for it on his own, who knows how long it would take him to find the 51st floor if he was unlucky, and if he didn't know it, he would miss it permanently.
Now... Let’s go to the 51st floor first!
When the strategy team started discussing this, Ji Xing cut off the communication crystal, turned around and walked towards the teleportation tower, teleporting to the 51st floor.
Monsters and monsters did not pose any threat to him. The whole morning journey of Negishi Yoshiyuki's team only took 10 minutes for Ji Xing who was traveling at full speed.
The meeting of the strategy team was probably not over yet when Ji Xing appeared near the center of the fog.
No fog was found in the surrounding area. Ji Xing's field expanded and he first found the acid spring that had been explored by the player. He didn't pay attention to it at first, but if there was ammonia nearby, then the spring water was probably liquid. Source three original water.
It is the original liquid of all liquids. What it will change into depends only on what you mix it with.
It shows "acidity", probably because Eugene accidentally contaminated it with sweat when taking it.
It has great research value and economic value. The original expensive and rare liquid can be added out of thin air by blending it with it and then purifying it.
Ji Xing thought for a while, half-crouched down, and a few small **** of telepathy rolled around on the fingertips of his right hand, and then fell gently into the Sanyuan Water.
There were only a few bubbles in the spring water.
“No response to thoughts.”
But there is.
The next moment, a strange mist suddenly spread around Ji Xing, and quickly reduced the visibility around him to extremely low!
However, Ji Xing's eyes were clear, and his vision was not affected at all: "It turns out to be the fog that acts on the spirit. No wonder Yu couldn't catch it. When he entered the fog, he had already been hit by Ai's trick, so Yoshiyuki Negishi and the others were in While the worms were parasitizing on the body of the mist, my sense of self broke through the mist."
Looking back, he saw shadowy figures in the distance, a dozen beings with dark eyes and bodies made of gas that floated like ghosts.
quite a lot. Ji Xing smiled, but the next moment the smile froze slightly on his face.
The fog suddenly dissipated.
More than a dozen angstroms disappeared out of thin air!
“…WTF?!”
“They made a wish for themselves to teleport?!”
“Where is Sanyuan Water? I don’t want Sanyuan Water anymore? I don’t want Sanyuan Water anymore? You don’t want it for your home either?!”
“Don’t be afraid, I’m a good person!”
“Come on and parasitize me!”
Looking at the empty forest, Ji Xing felt a vague feeling of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
Am I... scary?
