Chapter 227 One Week

Chen Ke couldn't tell the strength of a monster just by looking at its appearance and size. According to common sense, the bigger the monster, the stronger it is. But in order not to waste energy, he decided to let Ying Baiyi give some reference opinions.

Each monster was numbered by the Administration according to its attribute strength. When entering the Xijin Building for the second time, Shreli and Yang Xiao had already told Chen Ke about some basic catalogs that investigators need to remember.

As a level 9 agent, Ying Baiyi must know more than them. He directly targeted S-level monsters and listed hundreds of them from thousands of contained monsters.

Chen Ke looked at the monsters on the screen carefully. S-level monsters do not necessarily have souls. Only alienated individuals that are identified as "supernormal" by the life countdown have "large deformed souls".

So far, Chen Ke has only obtained souls three times.

The first time was a giant toad in the sewer. The first time he faced a supernormal monster, the life countdown directly passively absorbed the soul power, adding five hours to his life limit.

The second and third times were the contracted demon and Faralis respectively.

The large deformed soul of the contracted demon added ten hours to his lifespan, and the great soul of Faralis was exchanged by Chen Ke for a two-handed sword that she used.

The rating of monsters by the Administration is not the same as Chen Ke's life countdown.

For investigators and agents, the ratings from D to S correspond to the degree of danger judged by humans, while the level identification provided by the life countdown is more like the absolute biological level.

Only monsters of extraordinary level have powerful souls, while ordinary monsters do not even have an information box, but only give a prompt information based on the investigator document that Chen Ke reads.

As for how much threat the monster poses to Chen Ke, the most intuitive expression is how much life its murderous aura can add to Chen Ke's lifespan. The stronger the monster, the more life it adds.

"Look at that... that big one." Chen Ke pointed to a minotaur on the screen and said.

It is called a minotaur, but it is actually a giant with a pair of curved horns on his head.

He was so big that he could barely fit into the 18x18 room. He curled up in the room with his hands around his knees. His skin color could not be seen on the green night vision screen, but just by looking at him through the screen, one could feel that he was a strong man.

"Oh... this is a tough guy. I remember he was taken out of a big void. I don't know what the institute wants to get from him." Ying Boyi shook his head, entered the room number, and selected the "extermination" command.

A sharp alarm sounded from outside, and the red police light also illuminated the dark environment outside with a blood-red color. In this silent place, people felt their scalps numb. A 2-minute and 30-second countdown began on the screen.

"Fuck... so slow... can you kill him immediately? This alarm makes me panic..." Chen Ke complained.

"No way, this is an insurance mechanism. You are given 2 minutes and 30 seconds to regret, and you can only deal with one at a time." Ying Boyi shook his head.

This design was intentional by the Administration. The two could only endure the annoying police experience and waited silently for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

"Snap!"

The alarm suddenly stopped, and the monitor screen suddenly became pitch black. After a dull ten seconds, the red light outside turned green, and then went out silently. Chen Ke immediately looked at the screen, and saw that the bull-headed man in the room disappeared...

"Where is the man?" Chen Ke was surprised.

"He was exterminated." Ying Boyi said.

"So thoroughly..." Chen Ke couldn't help but be speechless.

"It is estimated that the repulsive psychic repulsion field was used to annihilate it directly." Ying Boyi explained.

Chen Ke walked to the edge of the transparent wall and looked down. He didn't get the soul just now. He was not sure whether the music was too far away or the monster was not of extraordinary level.

In the Kingdom of Vanhede, he fell off the cliff with the contracted demon. Even if he returned to the real world through the portal, the contracted demon died and let him get the soul. So Chen Ke guessed that the distance should not be a problem.

Then, either this monster is not of extraordinary level, or... there is a prerequisite for obtaining the soul... the monster must solve it by himself or indirectly.

If you really have to do it yourself, it will be a bit troublesome.

"No... this won't work..." Chen Ke shook his head.

Ying Boyi shrugged and dropped out a list of monsters for Chen Ke to choose from.

"Is it difficult for me to operate this time?" Chen Ke asked.

"It's not difficult. I'll tell you what to click and what to input. Just like a video game." Ying Boyi smiled and stepped aside.

Chen Ke looked at the list on the screen and selected an S-level monster. The monster was not big, about the size of an adult, but it was covered with black hair and its head looked a bit like a husky...

Under Ying Boyi's instruction, Chen Ke entered the room number and selected the annihilation command.

After waiting for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, when the red light outside turned green and fell into darkness again, a familiar feeling surged into Chen Ke's chest, and a line of orange prompts suddenly appeared in his vision.

Soul Obtained: Small Deformed Soul

[Small Deformed Soul]

[Effect: Increase lifespan by 5 hours or open a portal]

[The soul of a killer, a man with a deep blood feud, his heart is always filled with anger, as time goes by, his hatred transcends time and turns himself into revenge itself. ]

[That dog has a different meaning to him, they really shouldn't have done that...]

A purple mist penetrated the wall and rushed towards Chen Ke from the dark below. In his soul interface, a deformed soul appeared!

"How is it? Will this work?" Ying Boyi asked standing aside.

Chen Ke was secretly happy, but did not show it. He coughed and shook his head.

"Excuse me, how do you judge whether it works or not...? Maybe I can help..." Ying Boyi asked.

"I have a special way. Whether you believe it or not... Anyway, I can feel it." Chen Ke said.

"Whatever you say, if you don't want to tell me, you can find it slowly by yourself... But you'd better know that we have limited time..." Ying Boyi shook his head.

Chen Ke took out an orange holy diamond and threw it to Ying Boyi, who caught it steadily and summoned it with a "swish". It was a blasphemous dagger.

"Take it, you will use it later." Chen Ke said.

Ying Boyi didn't say anything, put the holy diamond in his pocket, and watched Chen Ke looking for monsters there.

In this way, Chen Ke constantly used the containment measures to wipe out the selected monsters, and various souls continued to flow towards Chen Ke from the room matrix below.

Ying Boyi naturally couldn't see these soul mists. He only knew that Chen Ke was constantly killing those monsters, and his face occasionally showed surprise or dissatisfaction.

After a while, the white fluorescent light in the control room suddenly went out and turned into a dark red emergency light.

"Damn... There is not enough power, don't play anymore, is it done..." Ying Boyi walked to Chen Ke's side.

Chen Ke had a satisfied look on his face at this time. In the busyness just now, he killed at least 54 monsters. Except for 13 without souls, the rest brought Chen Ke souls of all sizes.

In the soul list, except for Lin Mo's soul, there were 42 souls on display, which came from the 41 monsters with souls that had just been annihilated, and the soul of the dog-headed man obtained in the first attempt.

The life span that these souls can replenish is as short as 1 hour, and as long as 20 hours, which adds up to 168 hours!

Counting his current 20 hours of life span, if he squeezes all these souls, he will be able to live safely for more than a week.

"Be prepared, Ying Baiyi, be prepared, it's time to go home..." Chen Ke turned his head with an unfathomable smile on his face.
