$ Chapter 380 Strange Object [Artificial Man]

Artificial man, as its name suggests, is a man made by man.

Its own abilities extend to the various props and equipment made by Li Qi for it.

The first is the universal tool, which Li Qi originally used to repair the puppet's body and put in the puppet's body to do other things. After becoming a strange object, it has become a universal tool that can cope with almost all occasions where tools are needed.

The second is the weapon arm.

Li Qi's right hand hides many weapons, blades, hidden weapons, long whips, claws... and other weapons used for fighting.

After becoming a strange object, Li Qi's right arm can be freely transformed into any weapon he knows.

Including the weapons on the strange weapon list in the previous life, Li Qi can also change.

The third ability is self-healing skin.

Li Qi's skin is a bionic skin made of a mixture of special materials. It originally has no self-healing ability. Once injured, the mechanical structure inside will be exposed.

But now, even if the entire skin falls off, as long as a little remains, the skin can heal itself.

When injured, it will also ooze out red liquid like a human, which adds to the authenticity of Li Qi's puppet body.

The last ability is the change of its own ability value.

The puppet's body was not very strong. Even when it encountered a car accident, Li Qi had to find a way to leave the car first, instead of staying in the car to resist.

Because his body itself could not withstand the damage caused by high-speed collisions.

But after becoming a strange object, Li Qi's overall body strength has risen to a higher level. In the future, even if he encounters a car accident or accidentally falls from a very high place, he does not have to worry about his body being shattered by the impact.

And this kind of strengthening will become stronger as Li Qi's body strength increases.

This is a growing strange object.

The puppet has become a strange object and has new abilities. According to the rules of this world, there will naturally be corresponding costs.

As a strange object itself, Li Qi does not need to pay any price.

But if others want to "use" him or want him to do something, they need to pay a price.

This price is based on Li Qi's intentions, called "equivalent exchange".

For example, if Sun Xiaoqing wants Li Qi's puppet body to do something in the future, such as getting rid of someone, then Sun Xiaoqing must pay the corresponding price.

That is, a life.

Of course, although it is an equal exchange, the price that the user has to pay is still up to Li Qi himself.

It is certain that the price cannot be avoided, but Li Qi can reduce the impact of the price.

Let's use the example just now to explain. If someone wants Li Qi to take someone's life, normally, he needs to pay the same amount of life as the price.

But Li Qi can change the price of "the same amount of life" to "a small amount of life" according to his own ideas.

According to this rule, the user only needs to pay a trivial life, such as a stray dog, a stray cat, or even a mouse and a fly, to complete the price of the equal exchange.

Similarly, Li Qi can also choose to magnify the impact of the price.

That is to say, the user needs to pay more lives to fulfill his wish of "getting rid of someone".

"This way, it's very easy to operate."

After figuring out the ability and cost of his current body, Li Qi showed an interested expression on his face.

The cost can be small or large, and how it will change depends on Li Qi's mood. Such a cost is really interesting, and many interesting ideas flashed through Li Qi's mind.

But then again, Li Qi has no habit of handing himself over to others to use, even if it is just a doll body.

From that special spiritual world, back to his doll body, Li Qi opened his eyes on the sofa in Yi Cheng's house.

It was late at night, and Yi Cheng had gone back to the bedroom to sleep.

Even if she called herself the 'Eternal Night Demon Lord', Yi Cheng was still a sixteen-year-old girl, and she would be hungry and sleepy, and night was also her time to rest.

When Li Qi opened his eyes, Ye Yue had just come out of Yi Cheng's room.

She had just finished telling Yi Cheng a story, and watched Yi Cheng fall into a sweet dream, and then left the bedroom and returned to the living room, and then happened to meet Li Qi's eyes.

"Is it solved?"

Ye Yue asked in a low voice.

She knew what Li Qi had done, and Yi Cheng actually had some idea of ​​it, so she didn't make a fuss about going with him.

Chuunibyou is not stupid, Yi Cheng actually knows everything, but just doesn't want to face it.

Li Qi nodded to Ye Yue in response:

"It's solved."

He paused for a moment, glanced at Yi Cheng's bedroom, and then asked Ye Yue: "Do you want to come and live with me? The end of the world is coming soon. It's not very safe to stay outside."

Even Li Qi's safe house in the real world is not very safe.

The only place that is relatively safe is Li Qi's dream town.

Facing Li Qi's invitation, Ye Yue thought for a long time before shaking her head:

"I really want to go, but Yi Cheng doesn't seem to want to go."

"You seem to care about her thoughts?"

Li Qi looked at Ye Yue with a little surprise.

He thought Ye Yue would hate Yi Cheng, after all, it was Yi Cheng who caused her reincarnation to go wrong and she was trapped in a dead body.

But now it seems that Ye Yue doesn't hate Yi Cheng as much as he imagined. She even cares about Yi Cheng's thoughts.

This surprised Li Qi.

Ye Yue quickly answered Li Qi's question. She did not hide anything and said frankly:

"In my last life... I had a daughter."

She looked at Yi Cheng's bedroom door and whispered: "It was a bad world. Few people could survive, including my daughter... and when she died, she was just about the same age as Yi Cheng."

"I understand."

Hearing Ye Yue say this, Li Qi quickly understood her feelings.

Li Qi also had a son, was a father, and had experienced the feeling of sending off a young person.

Although Li Bofan died of old age, Li Qi should have no regrets, but occasionally thinking back, Li Qi would feel a little sad.

So if he saw someone similar to Li Bofan, Li Qi might care about him more.

Such care may not be replaced by new feelings until the next life, so he can understand Ye Yue's feelings.

Li Qi did not persuade her any more. He just handed the photo of the Dream Town to Ye Yue and said:

"If you run into trouble with Yi Cheng, take this town as your goal. Maybe it can help you at a critical moment."

"Thank you."

Ye Yue did not ask any more questions. She put away the photo and thanked Li Qi.

Li Qi nodded slightly, turned around and left without saying anything more.

He had just "eaten" a super tonic. He had to go back and digest it well.

Although the [Friend] pollution did not allow Li Qi to advance to the fifth level of Tiangong Soul Transfer, it was not far away.

If he went back and closed his eyes for a while, he would be able to break through.

For this, Li Qi still needed to work hard.

...

Inside the Ancient Monument Society.

Zhao Hong and several code-named members of his circle gathered in Zhao Hong's own room.

Among them was the pale Reptile, who seemed to have not slept well. She was leaning on the Knight at the moment.

Zhao Hong glanced at the half-closed eyes of the reptile, and did not disturb the poor girl who was unconscious because of playing horror games all night, but turned to look at the knight.

"You said that the pollution has a very high growth potential?"

The knight looked down at the dozing girl, and seeing that she had no intention of answering, he nodded and said:

"That's what the reptile said. She saw with her own eyes that the pollution ate [friend] and then grew greatly."

As soon as the knight finished speaking, Zhao Hong's female secretary took over and said: "The pollution of [non-existent friend] in China was confirmed to be completely eliminated yesterday. They just reported this matter to the United Nations today."

What the reptile experienced was a few days ago.

After some strange investigations, China confirmed that [non-existent friend] had been completely eliminated by unknown things.

Because of this, Zhao Hong took the reptile's words seriously and called all his confidants here.

Of course, Zhao Hong also took what the reptile said seriously before, and even used [mother-child mirror] to contact his superiors again, but there was no relevant news from China at that time.

Until today.

"Is it possible that it is another strange object?"

After the female secretary finished speaking, another young man in the room who was wearing glasses and looked a bit like a nerd raised a different opinion:

"Maybe it's not pollution, but some strange object that can eliminate pollution? After all, the information provided by the reptile is too little, and we can't confirm whether it is pollution or not."

As soon as the young man with glasses finished speaking, the reptile spoke:

"The only thing that can deal with pollution is pollution. This is what the superiors have confirmed, and so far, have you seen pollution that has been dealt with by strange objects?"

The reptile did not open his eyes when he spoke, and the strength of his speech was also weak.

Because of excessive use of USB flash drives, she played several horror games on the market in the past few days, and she cried one after another in fear. Now she is completely burned out, and she doesn't even have the strength to curse loudly.

Not to mention the reptile who is almost half dead, after hearing what the reptile said, everyone fell into a brief silence.

Compared with other countries, the Ancient Monuments Association is actually the organization that is most familiar with pollution and strange objects.

Because they were the first to come into contact with strange objects, and they were also the first to come into contact with pollution. Even now, according to the speculation of the superiors, it is very likely that this is a super-large pollution that sweeps the world.

So the information obtained by the superiors will basically not be wrong.

In this way, what the reptile said is very likely to be true, and it is a new type of unknown pollution that eliminated the "non-existent friend".

Zhao Hong was thinking, and when he was about to say something, his internal dedicated communicator suddenly beeped.

All the members who heard the sound shut up and looked at Zhao Hong at the same time.

Zhao Hong took out the communicator, looked at it, turned it off, and then said to everyone:

"The superiors want me to go to the meeting. You continue to discuss, I will be back soon."

There will be similar communication devices on the twelve stars and some top code members.

When the communicator rings, it means that the superiors have new orders.

Members who do not have work to complete must gather somewhere according to the instructions of the communicator after receiving the order.

Just like Zhao Hong now.
