Volume 19 Chapter 88 Weird Soul Device

"Wait!" Just when the researchers were about to take action, a faint blue light suddenly appeared on the unknown device on the detection platform, and the researcher in charge shouted.

As soon as he called a timeout, the researchers who were about to start all stopped, and then everyone stared at the thing in confusion. While everyone was observing this thing carefully, it was also constantly growing that blue light, and after this light was formed, it did not make the light stronger, but gradually formed a jelly-like Gel-like luminous substance. This kind of luminous body with strong light transmittance is obviously not solid, because it is spreading in all directions while accumulating on the surface of that component. It really spread in all directions, even under the operating table. The operating platform made of hardened ceramics has basically zero blocking ability against this thing, and the thing can shuttle up and down the operating platform at will. Later, as the number of blue luminous objects increased, it actually began to gradually show certain biological characteristics.

"Is this thing alive?"

While we were observing, more than a dozen long whip-like objects gradually protruded from the surface of the luminous body, just like a bunch of tentacles swinging slowly and regularly in the air. This phenomenon is obviously not something that ordinary energy bodies can achieve, and mechanical bodies generally do not vibrate unconsciously. This kind of swing looks like a reaction that only living organisms should have.

We were in a daze when suddenly we heard someone from the group of people studying the soul behind us say: "Strange, why is the soul monitor reading so high?"

A researcher next to him immediately said: "How is it possible? I haven't removed the experimental container yet!"

"Then how do I get the readings here?"

I looked back at the soul research team, and after thinking about it for a while, a possibility suddenly occurred to me. "Hey, you guys push the machine over and see if this blue substance is soul substance?"

"Yes, President." The two researchers immediately put down their notebooks and pushed the experimental machine over. Then one of them pulled out the probe head of the detector and pointed it towards the blue luminous body. The result As soon as the probe was pointed at the thing, the other researcher responsible for reading the readings immediately screamed. "Oh my God!"

"What's going on?" I asked quickly after hearing his scream.

The researcher glanced at me first, then pointed at the number on the display tremblingly and said: "It... exceeded the maximum value of the counter!"

After hearing what the researcher said, I quickly walked around to the back of the machine. When I looked at it, I found that there was no number at all on the counter, only a huge red cross.

"Does our guild have a machine with a larger reading?"

The researcher was stunned for a moment when he heard my question, and then immediately responded. "We'll get it right away."

When the soul researchers were looking for the machine, the luminous body continued to grow in size. At first, the blue light just enveloped the entire unknown instrument, forming a main body about the size of a basketball and more than ten centimeters long. Tentacles, but after ten minutes, the thing actually increased to the size of a microwave oven, and tentacles nearly one meter long extended out of it, swinging irregularly in the air.

"Stay back, don't let this thing touch you. This thing is likely to attack the soul." I said to the researchers.

After hearing my words, the researchers quickly retreated from the danger zone, while I quickly called out Ling, Princess and Sayoko. After all, this thing has a soul reaction, and the three of them have an understanding of souls, so they should be able to help.

As soon as the princess saw this thing, she immediately said: "I can't do anything about this thing." Seeing the questioning look I cast, she explained: "This is a soul body without basic personality. I can only deal with the * in the personality. * Partially induced, this thing doesn’t even have personality, I can’t help at all.”

Ling came over at this time and waved his hand to send the princess back to the training space, and then said: "Sayoko, can you feel the instinctive consciousness of this thing?"

Sayoko nodded and said: "This thing doesn't have a high-level personality, but its instincts are even stronger. I can feel that it is very hungry now."

"Hungry?" Upon hearing this word, the researchers around him quickly stepped back, fearing that the thing would catch them and eat them.

"Is this thing really going to eat people?" a researcher asked worriedly.

Sayoko shook his head and replied: "To be precise, it wants to replenish soul energy, but the souls in your body are all soul energy, so it can also be said that it can eat people."

Compared to this group of technical researchers, I may know more about souls. After hearing what Sayoko said, I also asked: "Although this thing hopes to replenish energy, the soul of a living person is not You can eat it, but does it have such strong soul strength?"

Sayoko said with great certainty: "There must be. I can feel that its soul strength is very high. Although it is nothing to us, these researchers are just ordinary people in terms of soul strength. If they are touched by that tentacle , it will definitely be eaten.”

Hearing what Sayoko said, I turned to the researchers I captured and said, "Who did you get this thing from in the first place? Is it so perverted?"

After hearing what I said, the researchers began to talk among themselves. Finally, the more outgoing researcher who had spoken to me before said: "We don't know exactly who we got it from. After all, we are engaged in research, not population research." According to the census. However, I heard from the guild president and others at that time that the person who sold this thing also bought a high-level magic pet from our guild."

"Damn, there are so many high-level magic pets. How can I find this if I know this?"

When the researcher heard what I said, he knew that I had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "No, the high-level magic pet that this person bought is relatively rare. It is a top-grade type that is rare in the world. It was not even sold at the auction. Many people from abroad came to bid, and the level of enthusiasm was unprecedented!"

"A high-level magic pet that is rare in the world?" I heard that there is such a magic pet and I couldn't help but become curious. After all, if it is rare in the world, even my magic pet can't meet the requirements. , which shows how highly cherished it is. "What kind of magic pet is it? Is it a super high-level one? Or is it particularly good at fighting? Or does it have very special abilities?" After hearing my words, the researcher not only didn't tell me what kind of magic pet it was, but actually said something Stuck. Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, I urged again: "I want to ask you a question, what kind of demon pet is it?"

After hearing what I said, the researcher also knew that he could no longer hesitate. After all, they were prisoners now, and there would be no good consequences if they behaved poorly.

"Actually... in fact, the combat power of that demon pet can only be regarded as a little below the top level. If you look at this aspect alone, it can only be regarded as a powerful demon pet at best, and it cannot be said to be rare in the world."

"Then why is this magic pet listed as rare in the world?"

"This...this..."

"What is there that you can't say, hesitantly?"

After thinking for a long time, the researcher did not answer me directly. Instead, he asked first: "What do you think about doing that?"

"What is it?" I was stunned by this guy's question.

The researcher said with a red face: "It is the work of men and women working together to create the next generation."

"It's none of your business what my attitude is about this matter? Tell me what kind of demon pet it is. If you don't tell me, I'll kill it. Do you believe it or not?"

"Believe it, I believe it!" The researcher was frightened by me and finally did not dare to go around in circles anymore, and said directly to me: "Actually, the reason why that demon pet is said to be rare in the world is because she is a mutated succubus queen. "

"Damn, I've seen a lot of succubi. Even the queen is only level 1500. How can she be considered rare in the world?"

Anyway, having said it, the researcher stopped hesitating and explained directly: "If it is an ordinary succubus queen, it cannot be said to be rare in the world. The key is that this is an extreme mutant. It is said that it is due to participating in the border between Eurasian and European gods. Friction was involved in the demon refining Gu set up by the Chinese Heavenly Court. As a result, after killing all the demons in the demon Gu, she was not refined into an elixir because her strength exceeded the upper limit of the demon Gu. Instead, she broke the Gu and fled. But when she first left the demon Gu, she exhausted her own energy due to continuous fighting and the promotion. As a result, a lucky guy took a big advantage during this period of weakness. But that person also knew that this top-notch He couldn't keep his magic pet, so he put it up for auction."

I know about practicing monster Gu, and I have seen it before. Generally, the principle of this kind of thing is similar, which is to put a bunch of powerful creatures into a confined space, and then force them to kill each other using magic circles and other means. All the essence of a creature killed in the monster Gu will be absorbed by the creature that killed it, making the creature that killed it become more powerful. However, because the number of creatures in the monster Gu is fixed and they cannot reproduce in the monster Gu, only the strongest creature will be left in the monster Gu at the end. Because this creature has absorbed the essence of all previous creatures, it will become extremely powerful.

Of course, the demon Gu is not a poisonous Gu. The goal is not to cultivate a super creature, but to use the creatures inside to make elixirs. Therefore, in the end, the strongest creature will be killed and decomposed by the power of the demon Gu, and its core energy will be refined into elixir, which will produce many powerful effects. However, due to the different strengths of the people who placed the monster Gu, the levels of the monster Gu also vary. In addition, the strength of the creatures being trained is not exactly the same, and their absorption capabilities are not fixed. Therefore, it is actually uncertain how powerful a creature will be in the monster Gu. If the level of the monster Gu is too low and the binding power is weak, and then encounters a creature with strong absorption ability and wins the final victory, and its combat power exceeds the upper limit of the monster Gu's restricted ability, then this creature will not be refined into an elixir. , and it is possible to break through the restrictions and escape. This is obviously the case with this mutated succubus.

Succubi are originally a relatively common large-scale branch among the demon clan. The number of races is not low, so many people know something about them. Because this succubus is Queen-level, it can be said that she is not weak among monsters. In the early stage, she will definitely kill many creatures. As for the later stage, she will take advantage of it. You must know that the succubus itself evolves by seducing other male creatures and absorbing their essence. This enchantment is specially prepared for them. Normal creatures can only absorb 50% to 60% of the opponent's power after killing them in the monster Gu, but the succubus can absorb more than 90%. If this continues, the succubus will simply become stronger and stronger as it kills, and finally becomes the last remaining creature. Not surprising either. As for her ability to break through the restrictions of the demon Gu, this is also easy to understand. The original owner of the monster Gu must have roughly calculated the upper limit of the monster Gu, so it is theoretically impossible for the creatures put in to break out of the monster Gu. However, because the absorption ability of succubus is much stronger than that of ordinary creatures, the succubus that finally becomes a super creature may be more than 30% stronger than the strongest creature expected by the designer, which seriously exceeds the capacity of the monster Gu. At the upper limit, breaking the poison is a matter of course. The only thing that is more surprising is the guy who picked up a mutated succubus queen for free. This luck is really good and makes people speechless.

"You said that the succubus mutated because of practicing demon Gu. Then what did she become? What are her attributes?"

"I don't know the specific attributes. I only heard that her grade has evolved to level 4,800, and because she broke the poison a little late, her body has become half an elixir."

"What is half an elixir?"

"She already has the function of the elixir. It is said that as long as you kiss her, you can get three hours of all-attribute enhancement, and the enhancement ratio seems to be quite high. Also, her saliva can remove All negative states including bleeding. Her body fragrance can form a powerful recovery field, and all friendly personnel within this range can obtain the effect of accelerated health recovery. And the most important thing is that she can become the world's The reason why they are rare super magic pets is that - if you do that thing with her, you can increase the three attributes of strength, agility, and constitution by one point each time; you can increase the endurance limit by one point every minute; you can increase it by one point every five minutes. Magic attack power; every hour increases the magic resistance of all systems by ten points. In addition, the experience gained within eight hours after each interaction with her increases by 15%." At this point, the researcher paused again After a while, he said sheepishly: "Of course, it is also said that if you do that with her, you will experience extreme enjoyment that you can never experience under normal circumstances."

"Holy crap, is this a magic pet or a special service girl?"

The researcher said: "That's why that person will be auctioned in a place like ours that specializes in dark transactions. The special feature of this magic pet is reflected in her ability, and this ability can be said to be almost universal in the country. It's a very touching topic, so you can't place an order in a regular auction house at all. Even if you place an order as a normal magic pet, regular auction houses won't give him any explicit advertisements, which will definitely affect the auction price, so then People found the underground auction house of our guild. Our place is full of shady transactions anyway, and we dare to advertise any explicit advertisements. Otherwise, even foreign players would not have come to snap up the photos. .”

"Then how much did this magic pet sell for in the end?"

"Seven billion."

"gold?"

"Crystal coins."

I nodded and said: "If the attributes you mentioned really exist, the price is not an exaggeration."

Although 700 million crystal coins is indeed a lot of money, if the magic pet is really so awesome, then this price is indeed not exaggerated at all. In fact, I think the key to why others are willing to pay so much money is not in those attributes, but in what the researcher said at the end, "the ultimate enjoyment that can never be experienced under normal circumstances." You can think about it, what do rich people do with so much money? Isn’t it just to satisfy one’s own enjoyment in all aspects? For men with normal physiology, the pursuit of sex is almost inevitable.

The game mode of "Zero" is virtual signal brainwave access, so it can simulate various stimulating signals in the human brain. For example, many people have tried the delicacies in the game. Delicious effects that are simply impossible to achieve in reality can be produced here, because it is difficult to make food delicious in reality. After all, everyone has different tastes. , not everyone can find the taste that suits them best, so it is difficult for you to experience the ultimate deliciousness. But it’s different in games. If you want someone to eat a very spicy delicious dish in the game, then as long as the game helmet transmits spicy nerve signals to the player’s brain, and then transmits the signals of special comfort and enjoyment to the player, the player What comes to mind is the feeling of tasting a very spicy and delicious food. If you want to make food taste better, then you only need to increase the intensity of the signal representing delicious enjoyment. As long as the human brain can bear it, this signal can continue to be strengthened until it reaches the limit of the human brain, which is extreme enjoyment. . Therefore, you can eat delicious food in the game that you can never eat in reality.

In the same way, because "Zero" does not prohibit contact between players whose relationship reaches a certain standard, the enjoyment in this aspect is also virtual. However, because someone once suffered from anorexia in real life because of eating too much delicious food in "Zero", the level of enjoyment in "Zero" is limited to the same standard as in reality. After all, if you don’t eat food, you will starve to death. Therefore, no matter how delicious the food in the game is, there will still be very few people suffering from anorexia. But in reality, people will not die even if they don’t do it. So in order to prevent Everyone only does that in the game, which causes the natural fertility rate of the population to drop in real life, causing opposition from other countries' governments, so the enjoyment of that aspect in "Zero" is strictly restricted.

However, although it is not possible to enhance enjoyment on a large scale, if it is just an individual case, then there will be no problem. Now this mutated succubus is obviously the only existence that exceeds the actual standards in this regard. It is no wonder that wealthy wolf friends from all over the world have gathered here to compete for this super alternative magic pet. Of course, the succubus's ability to strengthen its master's attributes while doing that is also very cool. After all, her strengthening method has no upper limit. In theory, as long as you keep doing it, your strength can be unlimited. Strengthen it.

Such a special magic pet is indeed special enough. With this clue, it will be much easier to find the person who owns this magic pet. After all, once this kind of magic pet is sold, many people will definitely want to grab it. . Even if the other party had a hidden identity during the auction, it would be useless. After all, the auction was held by a black trading auction house, not a regular auction house. Maybe they would sell the auction information as soon as the price was high. In this case, who would buy it? This demon pet person will definitely be known to many people. I believe that as long as I send someone to investigate, this person should be found soon. Anyway, I just want to know where he got this magical device, and I don't want his magic pet. I believe he won't refuse me.

While the researcher and I were discussing the succubus, the size of the luminous body increased again. Now it seems to be almost the size of a freezer selling cold drinks on the street, and the tentacles on its surface have changed. It became nearly two meters long, waving in the space like a giant octopus monster.

"This thing won't keep getting bigger, right?" I asked, looking at the thing that had grown bigger again.

Sayoko said: "Probably not. Its energy is always limited. Supporting such a large volume will consume more energy. If it can no longer get energy replenishment, it should start to shrink soon."

Sayoko's words soon became reality. Within a few minutes, the thing began to shrink gradually just like when it grew bigger before, and the shrinking speed was obviously much faster than when it grew bigger before. After waiting for about a few minutes, the blue luminous body retracted into the component just as it appeared, as if what we saw before was all an illusion.

"President, we are here." Less than two minutes after the blue luminous body disappeared, a shout was heard from outside, and then the people from the soul research team who had left before rushed in pushing a large machine. "Huh? Why is the Northeast missing?" The researcher who rushed in quickly discovered the anomaly.

"You're late." I said helplessly.

"late?"

"Yes, that thing took it back by itself."

Upon hearing this, the researcher quickly directed others to set up the machine that had just been pushed in. Then he opened it and saw that the display panel indeed showed a green value, and it was decreasing rapidly. "Oops, that soul is going to disappear!" The researcher said anxiously and rushed to the device to save the soul. But just when he stood next to the operating table, I suddenly found that the monitor The green value was rising crazily. In less than two seconds, the value turned into a yellow display, and then turned into red in the next second. At the same time, the blue color on the device had disappeared. The colored luminous object suddenly burst out again, and as if it could be seen, several tentacles wrapped around the researcher at the same time and pulled him towards him.

"Ah... help..." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and *** at *** (***.***). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
