Chapter 230 Reagents
In the dream, Mo Zhou did not try to break through Lao Dengtou's cognitive distortion, but tried to use the existing information to deduce Liu Ruoxin's abilities.
Different from the situation last night, if Old Dengtou alone had returned to normal cognition, Liu Ruoxin would be even more wary of herself than the four-person investigation team.
Moreover, as a tool man, Old Dengtou may not know much about the situation even if he returns to normal.
On the contrary, Liu Ruoxin was even less wary of this person after being distorted.
Based on Lao Dengtou’s memory, he inferred that the opponent’s ability to activate was likely based on one or more of the following conditions:
1. Gift. The keychain Liu Ruoxin gave to the other party is very suspicious, but Old Dengtou had a vague affection for Liu Ruoxin before that. It cannot be ruled out that this thing is a condition for deepening the influence of the ability;
He also has similar abnormal items, such as [Lightning Leech], which itself has unstable discharge capabilities, but can be roughly controlled after being attached to a subject;
2. Sleep. The villagers have a different set of memories as soon as they wake up. It is assumed that things like souls have been converted or split. Falling asleep may be a convenient operation, or it may be one of the conditions;
3. Contact or dialogue, Lao Dengtou's emotional change is not sudden, it is likely to require subtle influence.
Mo Zhou is more inclined to this, because Liu Ruoxin has been trying to talk to him all the way, and now it seems that he may have activated his ability.
But it doesn't seem to have any effect on him. Maybe he has mental resistance?
After all, in terms of mental strength, abnormal blood itself can improve the holder, and he has never neglected to exercise.
Kuharuichi's mental power would still be exhausted at that time, but now it may only take more than ten hours of fighting to exhaust him, and he himself cannot determine his upper limit.
If Liu Ruoxin's ability effects were aimed at the [mental power] dimension, it would most likely be ignored by her.
At present, Liu Ruoxin’s abilities are roughly reflected in two directions:
[Cognitive Distortion] and [Soul Transfer], but it is unclear whether the latter can be forcibly activated.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Zhou exited the dreamland, immediately stood up and supported Old Deng's head as he slowly woke up:
"Brother Deng, are you okay? I was shocked. I thought you had a heart disease!"
Old Deng shook his head as if he had just woken up from a dream, looking a little tired:
"I don't know... It's probably because I'm old and didn't sleep well last night."
"That's good. If something happens to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it even if I have the words."
"Oh, you should just take a rest."
Mo Zhou turned around and gave Old Deng a bowl of porridge and said:
"It's okay. I heard that you are a corpse chaser and you often deal with corpses. You should pay attention to it to avoid contracting any diseases."
Old Dengtou's face darkened when he heard this:
"What nonsense are you talking about! You outsiders, don't understand and don't talk nonsense!
You can't just say that you're driving away a corpse, you have to say it's "walking away". Besides, we use medicine to maintain it, so where does the disease come from? "
"I'm sorry, sorry for the layman's inexperience."
"snort!"
Old Deng snorted, but thinking that Mo Zhou had given him a hand earlier and that he had tricked them again, his tone softened a little:
"You outsiders are just causing trouble when you come here. When these two days of walking are over, hurry up and go back and forth from wherever you are, so as not to cause any trouble again, which will be bad for you and the village."
Mo Zhou was slightly confused:
"You have to go to a funeral in such a hurry...Oh no, you have to leave so early? This person has only been gone for less than a day."
"There is no way, the road is blocked by you, one of them is soaked in water, and the materials are not enough.
Besides, the two of them have been born and raised here all their lives. Going back is not considered a return to their hometown. It just leads them to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestral land to meet their parents and fellow villagers.
The traditional should be traditional, and the flexible should be flexible. Do city dwellers like you think that we are all pedantic old men? "
"Haha, don't dare."
Mo Zhou answered with a smile, but there was something wrong in his heart.
Previously, he thought Gewei was stalling for time, but now it seems more like he wants to kill them, or is the other party's plan matured in advance?
While the two were chatting, there was another knock on the door.
Old Deng went to open the door. It was the butchers from the investigation team.
Coincidentally, the other party also came here to "have a meal".
Old Deng wanted to refuse, but after looking at the four people on the other side, he took out a hundred-yuan note and hesitated before letting them in.
"The porridge is not enough. There are still some leftovers and cold steamed buns. If you don't mind, I'll make do with it."
"Just pad it."
Old Dengtou's tone was cold. The four butchers noticed Mo Zhou immediately after entering the door. Their eyes were slightly focused, but they did not speak to him.
"Wang Chao seems to know Old Man Deng?"
Seeing the food on the table, the butcher became more suspicious that Mo Zhou was a member of the Geyi Society or the Xingxiu Palace.
But before that, he had to confirm the identity of the dog.
The four of them were not particular about it, so they found a place to sit down in the courtyard, picked up some leftovers, and each of them took a steamed bun and a cup of hot water to eat.
But Mo Zhou still noticed that one of them was sitting near Dahuang, seemingly unintentionally, and looked at the yard curiously.
Mo Zhou squinted his eyes, broke off a small piece of steamed bun, dipped it in some fish jelly, put it to Dahuang's mouth, and touched Dahuang's head.
I saw Dahuang wagging his tail excitedly, circling the table several times, and shaking off a few hairs on his body.
Several people left after breakfast, and there were also two hairs missing in the yard, and no one seemed to care.
"Captain, the results are out. From a biological perspective, it is not the same as the [Heavenly Dog] under King Zhou."
At noon that day, the members of the butcher's men reported to him and handed over a tube of black reagent.
The investigation team had exchanged fire with King Zhou many times, and the DNA of the other party and his men had been backed up.
In order to quickly determine the identity of the abnormal person, this reagent developed through abnormality was also quickly promoted.
In short, each tube of reagent corresponds to 20 individual biological tissues during development. Once it is compatible with other biological tissues, it can correspond to different colors, thereby determining its identity.
If the creature does not belong to the abnormal person included in the investigation team, the color of the reagent will be converted to black.
The several tubes of reagent stock solution they carried did not correspond to the obtained hair after dilution, indicating that the dog was either just an ordinary dog or an abnormal person that was not included.
The butcher looked at the reagent and nodded, but he always felt that things were not that simple.
"What else is going on?"
"The main force found a suspicious forest with an explosion yesterday, and found a stone slab with a detector embedded in it.
They suspect that there is a third party guiding us, or it may be a trick of the Ge Yi Society. Now they are trying to capture the other party's signal source in reverse.
In other villages, most of the villagers have been evacuated. The organization requires us to take action as soon as possible, but requires the captain not to take the initiative to sacrifice the lives of ordinary people."
"Huh?"
The butcher laughed in anger:
"Another fucking want both? I was tricked as soon as I got here. Let's not talk about whether this group of people has problems. There is at least one abnormal person hidden in just over a hundred people, and you won't let me take action?
I can't care about so many things. I will protect these people if I can, and I can't be passive if I can't!
When we retrieved the bodies yesterday, we took a lot of people's biological tissues. It can be basically confirmed that Liu Ruohan is [Shen Shui Yuan]. Then Liu Ruoxin must have problems too, but her true identity is unclear.
You guys should make arrangements as soon as possible before the funeral. The other party is likely to take action on that day. You must play a long game to catch big fish!"
"Yes!"
