Chapter 275 Chapter 272 Absorbing the Resentment
"You want to use our heads? What do you want to do!" Yan Que stared at Zhuang Xuteng with a wary expression on his face.
"I can relax people's minds. If we are compatible, I may be able to reduce the mental side effects of implants." Zhuang Xuteng opened his palms to show them and said, "Look, there are no implants on my palms. I won't do anything to you."
Nightingale turned her head, smiled at her sister and said, "Maybe you can let him try. I will watch you. If I find that you are wrong, I will kill him."
"He is a combat mercenary. I am afraid you can't beat him." Yan Que rolled his eyes, then leaned forward, put his forehead on the backrest of the front seat, and said to Zhuang Xuteng, "Look, the head is here. If you make me feel uncomfortable, you are finished!"
"Okay." Zhuang Xuteng agreed happily, but he was actually unsure in his heart-he was using the two sisters for experiments!
Dormant martial arts can transfer the effects of implants on body organs and accelerate the recovery of the body; the series of spells of the vengeful spirit of the necromancy can absorb vengeance, and Zhuang Xuteng guessed that the vengeance also includes the side effects of the shadow implant on the mind. When he was with Liuxing before, Zhuang Xuteng used the vengeful spirit spell to absorb her vengeance. At that time, it was just to relieve her fear and tension after leaving the familiar closed space, but after thinking about it...
Liuxing has not been maintained, but her implants have been in good condition. She was a little tired physically - caused by running around - but her mental state was completely fine. She even said afterwards that the few days she spent with Zhuang Xuteng were the most comfortable days for her: she could go out to play, defeat the enemy, and was safe.
Through studying the "Magic Encyclopedia", Zhuang Xuteng has a further understanding of the vengeful spirit spell. He believes that the connection between the vengeful spirit and the shadow is closer than originally imagined. In many "symptoms", the physical and mental effects of the dead spells represented by the vengeful spirits are very similar to those caused by the shadow implant, and can be treated by analogy; the vengeful spirit series spells taught by the lich master are based on absorbing vengeance, and the techniques in them take precedence over eliminating the effects of carrying vengeful spirits on the caster. If you make some changes and use these techniques on others, you should be able to realize Zhuang Xuteng's idea.
He placed his palms on the forehead of the rock sparrow and began to use the vengeful spirit absorption spell. At this time, Zhuang Xuteng discovered something he had not considered beforehand: the vengeance emitted and the vengeance accumulated in the body have different properties.
The vengeance absorption of the lich master is effective for two conditions: the vengeance emitted and the vengeance in the corpse - the common feature of the two is that they are not controlled. The vengeance in the rock sparrow - or the mental manifestation of the side effects of the shadow implant - operates with the work of her brain, and like the implant, it has become a part of her body function.
Zhuang Xuteng can't "pull" this vengeance, but does he have no other way? No, he also has the Hibernation and Super Cache martial arts.
In principle, the Hibernation martial arts can only control one's own skin, which is what Master Famine Stranger said. However, Zhuang Xuteng thought that he forgot that the transferred creatures - insects and mice - also had to stick to the skin. In fact, their hair and skin were also affected by the Hibernation martial arts. However, it really cannot affect other people's skin. For example, Zhuang Xuteng tried to absorb or transfer the fatigue of training to Dao Ge, but it was completely ineffective.
What if the Super Cache martial arts is added? Extending the resentful spirit and turning it into an invisible, perceptive, and neural-like skin to increase the underlying foundation of the Hibernation martial arts is the core of the Super Cache martial arts. The resentful spirit can be invisible and pass through other people's bodies. If it is used to establish a channel with the other party's skin, can the Hibernation martial arts be applied?
Zhuang Xuteng decided to try it with the Rock Bird. Anyway, he estimated that the worst result would be that people would feel pain, just like the side effects of implants.
"Huh... It's so strange, I feel something sticking in..." The Rock Bird raised its head, opened its eyes, and tried to lift its eyeballs upwards, while touching with both hands. "Strange! Sister, his fingers are on my head, but I feel like he put something inside me."
"You..." Nightingale looked back and asked, "Nake, do you have a needle in your hand?"
"No." Zhuang Xuteng raised his hands to show them, then put them back on the top of Rock Sparrow's head and said, "What you feel is a kind of massage force. Hmm..."
"From your voice, you don't seem to be very confident." Rock Sparrow decided to grab Zhuang Xuteng's wrist, so that if there is anything abnormal, she can react as quickly as possible. "Hiss... Here it comes again, something is stuffed in again."
"Don't talk like that, okay?" Zhuang Xuteng and Nightingale said in unison, then smiled awkwardly at each other.
Rock Sparrow sighed, drooped her eyelids, and made an expression of being at the mercy of others.
The vengeful spirit surged out of Zhuang Xuteng's palm, penetrated under Rock Sparrow's skin, and wrapped around her implant. At this time, Zhuang Xuteng only needed to use one thought to drain the shadow energy of the implant, and he could use the super cache martial arts with another thought - of course he used the latter.
It didn't go smoothly at first, it felt like learning a dormant martial art for the first time. Zhuang Xuteng made adjustments based on his original training experience, and realized that this was a process that made the two of them closer in nature. The process of extracting resentment began, from a little bit to a lot, Zhuang Xuteng became more and more skilled, and his efficiency continued to improve. At the same time, Yanque's expression changed from nervousness to relaxation, from doubt to enjoyment.
Nightingale looked back: "Is it so comfortable?" She reached out and pinched her sister's cheek.
"Don't move! My head feels so good. I've fallen in love with this feeling. It's like..." Rock Sparrow seemed reluctant to open her eyes. If it weren't for her sister's concerns, she wouldn't even bother to speak: "It's like asking someone to clean both ear holes at the same time. Oh... Hoo Hoo..."
"Please don't make strange noises. I need to concentrate." Zhuang Xuteng gently pressed the top of Rock Sparrow's head and moved his fingers through her hair. From the touch of her fingertips, her hair was natural, not all wigs like Meteor, which means that she had installed fewer implants than Meteor.
But from the perspective of the resentment she absorbed, she was more serious than Meteor. The side effects of long-term accumulation accumulated seriously in her head, and the amount extracted by Zhuang Xuteng was comparable to that of a corpse that died of fear. On the one hand, this was related to the poor quality of the implants of the two sisters. I'm afraid that Steyer didn't use the best for them, and daily maintenance was also saved as much as possible. On the other hand, they were not happy working under Steyr, and their mood was a bit depressed, which promoted the mental side effects of the implant.
Through direct contact, using super cache and dormant martial arts, Zhuang Xuteng successfully extracted the mental side effects of the implant of Rock Sparrow in the form of resentment, which was a very important achievement-but Zhuang Xuteng did not stop there. He shifted his target to the physical side effects of the implant of Shadow Cong, trying to move those hidden injuries to the mouse.
"Itchy... very itchy... why did the feeling change?" Rock Sparrow opened his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said: "No, it's uncomfortable, can I change back to the previous method? The itchy feeling is drilling down... are you a gangster?"
Zhuang Xuteng heard it and quickly stopped trying, only extracting resentment. The extension of the dormant martial arts did not extract the hidden injuries and fatigue at the physical level, but only transmitted the "itchy" feeling to the inside of the body. The reason is unknown, and it cannot be said that this method is definitely ineffective, but it is not easy to continue the experiment. Zhuang Xuteng concentrated on absorbing the resentment, and Yanque also moaned comfortably, resting her chin on the back of the seat, almost falling asleep.
"Okay." Zhuang Xuteng loosened his palm when he could hardly draw out the resentment, and said, "Massage has no hypnotic effect, don't pretend to be asleep. Tell me how you feel."
"I'm not sleepy, but it's so comfortable..." Yanque still closed her eyes, as if this would allow her to immerse herself in the comfortable feeling for a while longer. "Sister, you should try it. I highly recommend it."
"Is it that good?" Nightingale looked at Zhuang Xuteng's hand and said, "Is this some kind of shadow spell? Will it burden your body?"
"You guessed it right, it's a shadow spell." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and said, "The burden is not zero, but it won't cause any problems. I can slowly dissolve it through normal metabolism."
"Before the Golden Basin Retirement Ceremony, there were a lot of news about your master, Famine Stranger. We have heard some rumors that his ability is to make people bear more implants and reduce the side effects in general - is this what you use?"
"I can't admit it or deny it." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and pinched his nose.
"Sorry, I asked too many questions, please forgive me." Nightingale looked at her sister lovingly, and then said, "Okay, since my sister recommends it so much, I'll try it too. Rock Bird, come and drive."
"Oh... wait a minute, I still want to feel comfortable for a while. I don't have night vision glasses, so I can't drive as fast as you. I'll let you take over after we get on the train."
Although it was a bit of a backstab, how could Nightingale care about her sister. She continued to drive and let Zhuang Xuteng take a short break. She insisted that the side effects of shadow spells and implant abilities should not be ignored. "There is no free lunch in the world," Nightingale said, "the more powerful the ability, the greater the price."
"I will pay attention." Zhuang Xuteng heard it, but didn't take it to heart. If the more powerful, the greater the price, then what is the company's strength in exchange for? Poverty?
The car sped through the night, and Zhuang Xuteng was glad that he didn't pick a cheap car when renting a car, but found this one with low mileage and good condition. Nightingale kept driving at full speed, and it held up, which allowed them to get to the station in time.
After explaining the return of the car over the phone, the three of them finally did not delay the departure time. They booked a sleeper, and the three of them bought four seats, which happened to be a room, so no one would come to disturb them.
Zhuang Xuteng consciously stretched out his hand, and Nightingale dodged. "Look around first, don't rush to think."
"Okay!" Zhuang Xuteng stood up with a smile and said, "It's right to work first. I'm here mainly to serve you this time and listen to your instructions, so where are we going next?"
"Dining car." Nightingale said, "There are no additional carriages today, and the dining car is next to the sleeper. I want to see the connection between the two, maybe I can find an interface, so that I can connect to the train system at a faster speed."
Yanque continued, "If the connection goes smoothly, we can try to open the door from the inside, then go over the roof and go to the front of the car. All lines will be connected to the system at the front of the car. If we can do it there in advance, it will be easier next time."
It sounded very correct, and Zhuang Xuteng did as he said. After the car started, they left the sleeper and came to the dining car, ordered three meals and some drinks. After the conductor finished checking the tickets, Nightingale winked at Zhuang Xuteng, and the two got up and left the table and came to the connection in the middle of the car.
When the train is needed to transport cash and valuables, the dining car and the sleeper car will be separated, and the "treasure car" will be inserted. This happens at least once a week, so the connection device in this part is often used and there is a greater chance of access. Zhuang Xuteng used his body to block Nightingale and opened his five senses to keep watch for her. Nightingale searched along the seams of the car, looking for the data cable.
"Someone." Zhuang Xuteng heard the footsteps and hurriedly reminded her. Nightingale immediately let go of the wall and lay in Zhuang Xuteng's arms. The two lowered their heads to avoid sight and waited for others to pass by behind them before letting go. Zhuang Xuteng glanced outside and said, "They are going to the dining car. According to the instructions on the top of the car, the people behind are likely to go to the dining car for a meal, which means that there may be many people checking the connection."
"Yes." Nightingale already understood what Zhuang Xuteng meant. She said, "When the official operation is carried out, there will definitely be some people who don't know that the dining car cannot reach it. They will try to pass through the connection and wait and see. This is not good for our operation. Brother Dao needs to stop them."
"What method will Brother Dao use to stop them... I'll think about it." Zhuang Xuteng looked at both sides and said, "We can act now, one problem at a time."
Nightingale turned around and lay on the wall again, close to the joint of the car, and Zhuang Xuteng was standing guard behind her. After a while, Nightingale removed the rope that tied her hair, and with a flick of her wrist, it became hard and could be twisted into various shapes. This is a metal that can change shape under electric current. The mercenaries use it as a temporary tool, guest hooks, ropes, keys and the like.
"No, I can't reach it. Naike, come and help me." Nightingale called Zhuang Xuteng over, and said while digging the gap of the canvas connecting the carriages: "Can you see a square socket on the right? There is a black-green cable on it."
"I see. That wire is as thick as my wrist. How can you pull it with such a thin wire?"
"Listen to me, don't talk nonsense!" Nightingale slapped him on the chest and said: "There is a square iron cover under it. It is the connection port for maintenance. Just pull the pin. It may have not been repaired for a long time, and it is a little rusty. I can't pull it, so I leave it to you."
"I understand, give me the wire." Zhuang Xuteng took the tool, stretched it out from the gap, and slowly hung it on the pin. "By the way, we have to restore it later, right?"
"Of course." Nightingale said: "Do it quickly, the gap is a bit big, the wind sound is obvious, and it may be heard by others."
Zhuang Xuteng nodded, hooked the pin and started to exert force. He was stronger than Nightingale, and could adjust his movements based on tactile feedback, but the bolt was severely rusted, and it kept creaking, but it didn't move much.
"Sound! Someone is coming!" Nightingale was not as good as Zhuang Xuteng in keeping the wind out, especially when he encountered a child who suddenly ran over. There was no need to worry about the child, the key was that there was an adult chasing him behind him. In a hurry, Nightingale pressed Zhuang Xuteng's head, blocked the whirring gap with his face, and then squatted down quickly, using Zhuang Xuteng's body to cover his face.
Two children shouted "Let's eat, let's eat" and ran past Zhuang Xuteng, followed closely by their parents. At this time, the couple stopped and stared blankly at the two people at the connection of the carriage.
A man stood with his legs apart and his back to them, his face pressed against the wall, and a woman squatted in front of him. Although the face could not be seen, the two people...
The child turned around to urge them, and the couple blushed, and quickly stopped the child who was about to stick his head out to check, and pushed them to continue to go to the dining car. "How can this be?" They both said in low voices, shaking their heads at the same time.
PS: I went to the hospital for a checkup this weekend and needed to stay in the hospital for a few days. I'm sorry for the lack of updates recently.
