Chapter 799: Confirming the Situation

Looking at the half-piece of blue-black swollen corpse on the cooking table, Lu Mian muttered to himself with amusement,

"Not hiding it at all, worthy of being the 'City of Exiles,' Morora..."

Lu Mian checked it slightly and confirmed that this highly rotten corpse was the other part of the "Abscessed Hand," and it was still complete except for the missing left half, the corresponding head, and the "Abscessed Hand" itself.

If it weren't for the fact that the rotten meat near its spine was squirming and growing, wanting to return to its original state, Lu Mian wouldn't have dared to believe that the two "steaks" served to him and Albus just now were from this corpse, let alone that this kind of "steak" had been sold for dozens or hundreds of portions.

This made Lu Mian frown slightly, and a question he had thought about before surged in his heart again:

Is it necessary to recycle the "steaks" that have been sold?

Judging from the completeness of the rotten corpse, it doesn't seem necessary...

Moreover, those Morora residents haven't been eating this kind of "steak" for just a day or two, and I don't know if they have truly digested the rotten meat and completed the absorption...

Judging from my induction of the subtle connection between the corpses, even if digested, it should only have changed the state of existence of the rotten meat, and the essence has not changed...

Lu Mian thought while taking the time to stuff this half-piece of rotten corpse into the "Traveler's Bag," and used the pile of straight swords, including the "Sword of Courage," to isolate it from the other half-piece of corpse, so as to avoid them undergoing unnecessary changes before finding the head.

"So this is what we were fed, and the appearance was quite tempting." When Lu Mian was putting away the half-piece of the "Abscessed Hand" corpse, Albus's voice sounded at the kitchen door.

This former member of the "Iron and Blood Cross Order" from the Medici family was wearing a black jacket with dark red patterns, one hand in his pocket, sighing with emotion.

He didn't feel disgusted at all for almost eating the rotten meat steak.

Lu Mian turned his body and responded with a smile,

"I was quite looking forward to you eating it to see what kind of changes would occur."

"Gradually obtain a certain self-healing ability, become more powerful on nights with a moon, and be able to master some dark spells." Albus said in the tone of reading an investigation report, "But correspondingly, one's self-control drops significantly, IQ shows signs of regression, and nightmares are constant."

"Did you also discover the abnormalities of those guys and come over to investigate?" Lu Mian asked back with a smile.

His purpose in asking such a question was not to confirm—he had long confirmed it—but to indicate that he was also here to investigate, rather than knowing from the beginning that there was such a half-piece of corpse and coming specifically for it.

The "Hunter" must know how to cover up his true purpose so as not to be set up by others.

The red-haired Albus smiled,

"They actually wanted to hide this matter, hoping that only they and their partners could share the special food of this bar."

"Who in Morora is not selfish?" Lu Mian turned to ask, "How did you see that their IQ showed signs of regression?"

Albus raised his right hand and spread it outward,

"If their IQ hadn't regressed, how could they have been so easily tricked into revealing their secrets, allowing me to find this bar?"

Lu Mian nodded lightly, looking at Albus, and said thoughtfully,

"I see. Is it necessary for me to kill you to silence you, so that this secret doesn't spread?"

Albus responded to Lu Mian's gaze calmly and smiled,

"Do you think that group of idiots can keep a secret?"

After speaking, this member of the Medici family turned his body and walked toward the bar hall, exposing his back to Lu Mian.

Lu Mian stood in place, watching him leave, as if thinking about something.

Just now, for a moment, he really had the intention to kill.

He wanted to take this opportunity to kill Albus Medici, so as not to affect his action of getting close to "0-01," or even to leave a mark on "0-01" before himself for that "Red Angel."

Lu Mian finally endured this impulse.

There were two reasons for this:

One was that he currently initially judged that becoming an experimental person would have a very bad impact on self-consciousness. If it wasn't the only choice, he didn't want to try it for the time being. Since that was the case, having one more person, one more "cannon fodder" to help pave a path through heavy dangers, was not a bad method.

The second was that he didn't have the confidence to definitely kill Albus Medici. If the other party was still in the state when exploring the depths of the Red Swan Castle palace, he felt he should be able to solve it easily, but several months had passed, and he had become a "Reaper" and digested the corresponding potion, so it was impossible for the other party not to have any progress.

Moreover, if Albus was really representing the "Red Angel" to come to Morora to approach "0-01," that King of Angels would definitely find ways to improve this descendant's strength, give him powerful items, and ensure that his agent was the top-notch among those below demigods, capable of dealing with various dangers in Morora.

Lu Mian didn't leave the kitchen immediately and checked around here again.

He was looking for other special ingredients—the slightly dull and abnormal performance of that "Depriver" just now made him suspect that this was caused by him eating things indiscriminately in Morora, which was one of the main causes of death for Beyonders of the "Gourmet" pathway.

Unfortunately, Lu Mian only found ordinary ingredients such as flour, butter, and milk.

He then went up to the second floor of the "Carnivore" bar and entered the bedroom of that "Depriver."

He planned to live here for a period of time as the winner of the duel.

This bedroom was cleaner than Lu Mian imagined, without oil stains, cockroaches, mice, and various insects, except for being slightly messy, there were no other problems.

Lu Mian walked around the bedroom and tried to activate the black mark on his right shoulder to see if he could "Teleport" out of Morora.

He couldn't sense the locations he had been to.

"As expected, I can't leave, I can only 'Teleport' within this area surrounded by mountains... However, normally no Morora resident would want to leave here... I don't know if Albus would have such thoughts..." Lu Mian muttered silently while taking out ritual materials from the "Traveler's Bag."

He did a second experiment:

Summoning a messenger!

But whether it was the "Doll" messenger or his own messenger, Lu Mian failed to summon them.

"Cut off from the Spirit World? At least it's cut off to a certain extent... As expected of a place that seals '0-01'..." Lu Mian stood in front of the table by the window, looking at the dim environment outside and the rain that had become smaller, feeling the coldness filled with water vapor eroding inward.

He followed the planned plan and did a third experiment.

He walked to the full-length mirror in the room, pressed his right hand on the surface, and activated a black mark on his body.

He was using the contract ability from "Bloody Jack" to sense the mirror image marks he left in other places!

In the blink of an eye, Lu Mian grasped three quite blurry marks through the mirror in front of him.

They came from the study of Moran Avigny, the treasury of the "Blue Avenger," and the apartment rented by Franca and Jenna.

This meant that if Lu Mian could walk into the mirror, he might be able to use the "Teleport" ability to go to the mirrors corresponding to those three places. Even if not, he should be able to use this to exchange information with the outside world!

Regarding this, Lu Mian had both a sense of surprise and a satisfaction that his speculation was confirmed:

Having read the "0-01" data, he roughly knew the origin of this sealed item and its relationship with Trier in the Fourth Era. He felt that since the sealing methods were so similar, many details should also be consistent—Trier has a special mirror world, and there is likely one here too; Trier has "Mirror People," and there should be some here too!

And in the data, the experimental person "if not blindfolded, the one leaving the mausoleum will be a monster like him" is a piece of evidence for the existence of "Mirror People" and a special mirror world.

Based on these prerequisites, Lu Mian felt that using abilities related to the mirror world might be able to establish a certain connection with the outside world.

It was precisely because of such speculation that he borrowed the "Mirror Buckle" extraordinary item from Franca, and Franca had already become a "Pain Witch," and in a few days, she could use the excuse of investigating "Mirror People" to try to ask the Witch sect for charms that would allow her to transfer locations with the help of the mirror world.

Lu Mian reached his hand into the "Traveler's Bag" and took out the cufflink that looked like it was made of glass.

He didn't rush to do an experiment now to confirm whether he could leave directly or only transmit information, because the "Mirror Buckle" could only be used four more times, and he had to wait until there was important information or an emergency that needed to be communicated before trying.

Gulp, gulp... At this time, Lu Mian heard his stomach make a hungry sound.

He couldn't help but mutter,

"Really, the Church of Knowledge is too stingy, not giving me a meal or a sip of water, and just sent me into Morora. I am not Ludwig, who can eat up all the prison meals..."

Muttering, Lu Mian went down to the first floor, ready to go to the kitchen to make something to eat, and wait for the rain to stop before going out to find the head of the "Abscessed Hand."

At this time, the bar owner's corpse had been dragged away by the law enforcers, and the blood on the ground had been wiped clean by them, but the bar area that had been destroyed by the explosion and the scene of the entire hall being burned had not been dealt with, glass shards and wood fragments mixed, and the smell of wine and burnt smell danced together.

Lu Mian had just picked up the inheritance of the bar owner left by the law enforcers—420 Sassen gold—when he saw someone walk in at the door.

That person was the honest-looking human meat cook Lies.

Lies was soaked through, looked left and right, and asked Lu Mian,

"Is this place hiring a chef?"

Beyonder characteristic aggregation law? Lu Mian suddenly laughed,

"Yes, you go to the kitchen to make something to eat first, I will try the food to see how it tastes."
