Chapter 567: Heartbeat moment

Neither making a move nor running away? Cautious enough.

Feeling that heart on the main stage that was beating faster and faster, but never moved, instead staying in place, an old man among the guests, who was dressed somewhat sloppily and had a face full of pain, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

His ability could make everyone's heart in the range get a temporary "strengthening," and the blood all over the body would also continue to speed up.

If the other party was too nervous, or immediately retreated upon seeing the situation, the heart strengthened by the double stimulation would immediately pump blood at double the rate, making the blood flow rate exceed the body's tolerance limit, directly losing the ability to resist.

Simply put, people in his ability range could be said to fall faster the faster they moved, just like the two old men of the Bobby Laien family.

In the ten-plus minutes that his ability was slowly taking effect, they first ran around and chatted with guests, then went back and forth twice behind the target, and their emotions were continuously subjected to huge stimulation, plus they were old and their bodies were not good, so they lay down before his ability was fully activated.

And the target on the stage, although also affected by his ability, didn't know why, but the impact on his heart was much weaker than others, probably only 60% or 70%, plus his physique was slightly beyond the range of ordinary people, which led to him not losing his ability to move until now...

It seems I can only increase the intensity!

After saying sorry to a few companions in his heart, the sloppy old man pressed his palm on his heart and shook his old body violently.

At the same time, the people in the entire hall trembled along with him.

"No... no more..."

"Help... help..."

"I don't want to die!"

Because everyone's physical quality was different, originally some people could rely on things like pillars to barely stand, but under this sudden rush of hot blood to the brain, they finally all fell down clutching their hearts, and even lost the ability to beg others to save them.

Now, the only person in the entire hall who could still stand was Leon.

Done!

Feeling that heart on the stage that was beating faster and faster and was constantly moving toward the limit, the sloppy old man's lips couldn't help but curl up quietly.

Even if you saw through my ability and knew that the more you moved, the faster you would fall, it's useless. If you don't run now, you will eventually collapse, but if you run, you will also collapse!

"Step, step, step"

Listening to the footsteps that suddenly rang out on the main stage, and feeling that heart that finally moved, the sloppy old man couldn't help but show a smile that was just as expected.

Finally couldn't hold back?

It's a pity it's too late. My ability has many restrictions, not only is the range small, the activation takes a long time, and it doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, but as long as you didn't escape immediately when you first noticed the abnormality, you have already lost!

"Step"

However, unexpectedly, the footsteps on the stage didn't ring for long, and didn't even leave the main stage, just walked to the edge of the main stage and stood at a position suitable for speaking to everyone.

"Everyone."

Looking at the guests below, confirming that they had basically lost their ability to move, Leon took a deep breath, then asked loudly:

"Why don't you stand up and salute a Prince Consort?"

???

Are you sick?

Hearing this question from Leon, the sloppy old man hiding among the guests almost laughed out loud.

These people were hit by his ability and were almost dying from heart pain now, where would they have the ability to stand up and salute you? At this time, it is estimated that only I, who activated the ability, can...

Wait? Only I can stand up now?!

Vaguely discovering that something seemed wrong, the sloppy old man couldn't help but tremble all over, revealing a look of deep horror in his eyes, wishing he could make himself deaf. However, everything was too late.

Following Leon's words, the sloppy old man who was lying on the carpet in pain let go of his hand pressing on his heart, crawled up directly, bowed respectfully and fearfully toward the target he was preparing to assassinate on the stage.

"Seen the Prince Consort..."

"Bang!"

The sloppy old man who had just stood up was grabbed by an invisible giant hand, directly performed a back-tilt with an astonishing arc, hit the back of his head on the ground with a bang, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

It seems this is the person.

Feeling the heartbeat that was slowly calming down, and confirming that the anomalous object that could make the heart beat faster had been stopped, Leon's furrowed brows finally relaxed again.

Hooking his finger toward the sloppy old man who fell in the distance, and dragging him over with the power of the Holy Spirit Pendant, Leon searched his body, and finally touched a metal object that was a bit hard on the sloppy old man's heart.

【Name: Heartbeat Moment (Strengthening, Synchronization)】

【Appearance: A cardiac pacemaker made of soft brass, embedded in the patient's chest cavity, driven by regularly injecting high-concentration whale oil, with an extremely precise internal structure.

If you listen closely, you should be able to hear the hissing sound when the micro-steam engine is driven, and the meshing sound of dozens of micro-connecting rods driving the gears】

【Ability: Heart Strengthening, Heartbeat Synchronization】

【Price: None】

【File: This is a precision instrument smuggled from the City of Machines, Krolok, used to help patients with naturally weak hearts maintain their heartbeats. Just the cost of the materials themselves is enough to buy a whole hundred acres of sugarcane plantation.

It is precisely because of its overly expensive price that every user of this thing, although they obtained a healthy body and did not die because of the weakness of the heart, eventually could not escape the greedy hearts of the raiders】

【Evaluation: Although the ability of this anomalous object is extremely hidden and almost impossible to be discovered, if you don't have a heart that is several times weaker than an ordinary person, it is recommended that you'd better not use it】

【Infection value: 2.5】

【Through your own observation and induction, you have obtained a large amount of information about "Heartbeat Moment," and the different-colored badge "Materialist Soul (Scarlet)" is activated.

Because you understand the activation rules of "Heartbeat Moment," your resistance to this anomalous object has increased significantly, and you can already shield deeper levels of influence】

So... the ability of this thing is to first strengthen your own heart, and then forcibly synchronize all the hearts in the range?

Tearing open the sloppy old man's clothes, looking at the complex and precise strange device, Leon hesitated for a moment, didn't take it out directly, but took out a rope, first tied up the fainted sloppy old man.

Instructing the black goat to continue to keep an eye on the situation around, and notify him immediately if any abnormality is found, Leon took out the 【Infected Blood Band】 he got from the female prisoner, first wrapped it on the sloppy old man's leg, temporarily taking away his leg health, then wrapped it on the back of his head, and cured his head injury from the bump.

"Ah! My... ugh?"

After the concussion was cured, the sloppy old man who woke up faintly only felt a burst of severe pain in his leg, but before he could scream, a ball of old cotton cloth that was a bit salty was stuffed into his mouth.

"I ask you."

After taking off the other sock and throwing it into the small mirror he carried, Leon, who put on his shoes again, looked at the sloppy old man who was full of despair, and asked with a very fast speed:

"Are your accomplices nearby?"

"So there are still... then including you, how many rebels are there with anomalous objects around? One? Two? Three?"

"Only two people? Then..."
