Chapter 3500

Bill Schneider nodded seriously:

"Regardless of what weapon it is looking for, I can almost be sure that its attempt to break the seal will never succeed. I mentioned to you before that the power of that thing is now split. And the part that is sealed wants to break free, which not only requires suitable means, but also suitable time. Now the time hasn't come, no matter what means are used, it is impossible to release it."

"But what if it succeeds?"

"Yes, what if... this kind of thing cannot be gambled on."

The doctor sighed long:

"Our plan needs to be adjusted. Next, I won't go to the island again. I want to make some props in Tobesk to prevent the worst case from appearing. I originally thought about playing cat and mouse with it on the island. Now it seems that meeting it really might be dangerous for me. That blood, no, the current me absolutely cannot touch that kind of blood, otherwise the hard-won balance will be broken immediately."

"Will it go out of control?"

"Bigger trouble than going out of control."

The doctor didn't explain too much, Xia De guessed it might be that the power belonging to the "Demon King" in his body was released.

"So I want to make extra preparations in Tobesk, and I won't go to the island. Black Hand - Tifurong can't figure out what is behind you, and it will be tied up when acting."

"Then what do I need to do? I can't just let it act, right? I will continue to look for traces of demons and keep an eye on the news of the so-called weapons. Besides that, what else can I do?"

Xia De asked, and the doctor shook his head:

"No, don't do anything for now. Any deliberate action you take now is providing information to the other party. Do nothing, and it will act more carefully and cautiously.

I bet it won't show up in front of you again in the near future. After confirming that the one who possesses the power of that thing is not you, it will wait for you to bring the news back, and then wait for you to reveal other flaws.

We and it are now hunters lurking with guns, but our guns are more powerful. Wait for me to finish the preparations. The difficulty now is that we don't know what it wants to find on the snowy mountain. Detective, are you sure there is no rumor of such weapons on Fatumunster Island?"

Xia De recalled carefully, then shook his head:

"I'm sure there isn't, at least I haven't heard of it yet."

The doctor nodded:

"Looking at it from a good direction, if we can successfully solve that thing this time, we will likely obtain extraordinary information. Actually... I only know that that thing is split, but where the sealed part is and what the situation is now, I don't know."

"Then how many parts was the original demon split into?"

Xia De asked, and the doctor had never been willing to say it, but this time he hesitated and gave the answer:

"I can't give a definite answer. After all, I only obtained power, not memory, otherwise I would have become a demon. The sealing in the Mythological Era, I can't even say whether it was the work of mortals or gods themselves."

"Splitting and sealing are quite complicated. It's not a simple cut, but... a deeper stripping of different parts. The seal is not a simple ritual to suppress the fragments in the subspace, but uses more mysterious and unimaginable exquisite means to ensure that it will not wake up easily."

"Even each fragment will not know the situation of other fragments, so as to prevent one fragment from being liberated and releasing other fragments. The seal that the weapon demon wants to break must be the most core fragment. Once it really succeeds, I am afraid that other fragments will aggregate immediately."

The result that the doctor was also unsure about made Xia De feel relieved. That at least meant that the splitting and sealing means in the ancient era were still effective.

But the doctor soon said again:

"But I also have a vague feeling that the number of fragments will not exceed five, and will not be less than three. 3, 4, 5, these are the three answers."

Xia De nodded gently, looking at the doctor's pitch-black eyes:

"Then let's stop here, it seems the dream should wake up."

Silver light traces flashed in front of him, and the 【Night Watchman】 materialized from Xia De's memory in the dream beheaded the doctor. The gray-black dream turned into a chaotic vortex and swallowed them, and when Xia De jumped up from the sofa and pointed the 【Moonlight Greatsword】 at the doctor who got up from the other side of the sofa, he had actually returned to normal:

"I'm fine! I'm fine now! The sealed power heard what I just said and became restless, I didn't lose control!"

(Little Miya is running...)

Three bright moons shone on the white forest, the moonlight rippled in the hot spring, and the rising water vapor blurred Xia De's vision. So he simply closed his eyes, leaned against the edge of the hot spring, and enjoyed this quiet night.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. The feeling of soaking in the hot spring after a tiring day was indeed very good. Xia De realized at this time that the young ladies agreed to his invitation to come to the Moon Sanctuary with him, probably also to let him relax after the battle in the 【Pseudo-Human House】 and drive away the fatigue on his body.

The chirping sound of the chocobos came from the shore, but none of the fluffy chocobos approached the cat that was lying on the long stone bench that had just been installed on the shore, pretending to sleep.

Lu Lu Weiya and Duo Luo Qian leaned on Xia De's side, left and right, their hair tips rubbing against Xia De's shoulders from time to time. When Xia De closed his eyes, Lu Lu Weiya's hand was gently pressing his arm. But it was not a massage or some kind of hint, she was checking:

"The power of the pseudo-humans' blood and the eldest son's flesh doesn't seem to have changed your body much. The density of the muscles and the shape of the body haven't even changed."

"Xia De's body is already at the human limit. This kind of change should be deeper."

Duo Luo Qian said. She didn't pinch Xia De's body, the blonde girl hugged Xia De's arm and enjoyed this intimacy.

"Yes, the change in physical strength is not great, more of it is body resistance, stamina recovery speed, and self-healing. My control over shapeshifting arts can be compared to Fu Luo La to some extent. Of course, my shapeshifting range is far from as large as hers. As for the harvest this time, there is no spirit rune, but there is a new miracle 【Blood Seed Parasitism】."

This is a miracle obtained from the characteristics of pseudo-humans. Xia De just introduced it simply:

"I plant my own flesh and blood in the bodies of other flesh-and-blood creatures, thereby sensing the target's shallow thoughts and having a certain degree of control over the target. It sounds like a useful miracle, but if it's not particularly necessary, I don't intend to try it. Miracles don't have good or evil, but some miracles shouldn't be used casually."

The young ladies all understood Xia De's character, so Lu Lu Weiya smiled and commented:

"You are always like this, but this is also good."

Duo Luo Qian asked:

"Even if you don't use it, you should at least know what the specific effect of this miracle is. So, do you want to try it on us now?"

Lu Lu Weiya smiled and didn't object, but Xia De shook his head:

" 'Planting flesh and blood' is a very dangerous behavior, similar to parasitism, but more difficult to eradicate. Once I really do this, your bodies will be permanently affected by me. I won't do this kind of thing."

He skipped this topic:

"The real harvest this time is actually more reflected in the release of my fleshly power."

At that time, the description given by "She" was 【Outlander, your fleshly power has been further released】.

"What is the release of fleshly power?"

Duo Luo Qian asked while splashing water.

"Actually, I don't understand very well, but this should be similar to the development of bloodline power. It's like a dragon descendant digging out more bloodline talents, a blood-sucking species purifying its own blood, or an elf awakening more ancestral talents. But I should be a human..."

"Then what does your fleshly power release manifest in?"

Duo Luo Qian asked again, so Xia De stretched out his finger:

"Bite my finger and feel the taste of the blood."

The blonde, blue-eyed girl looked at him, then held Xia De's wrist with both hands, slightly opened her red lips and held Xia De's finger. Xia De felt that she seemed to be doing this on purpose, but it might also be because the atmosphere under the moon at this moment made it easy for people to have wild thoughts.

Duo Luo Qian gently bit Xia De's finger and sucked a little blood. But she didn't feel it immediately, but licked the wound again, and then tasted it carefully:

"Although I am not a blood-sucking species, the taste of your blood is very good... Is the spirit recovering?"

She said in surprise, so Lu Lu Weiya also held Xia De's other hand and tried it:

"Yes, the spirit is recovering. Has your flesh and blood become nutritious? Although I joked with the witches that your body is very nutritious, it only made everyone's mental state and physical state better before."

Xia De nodded:

"It's not that it has become nutritious, but that my vitality, stamina, mental power, and spirit can be converted into each other. My vitality contains mental power, stamina, and spirit, and others also contain each other (Note). I cannot recover by sucking my own blood, which is like people cannot quench their thirst by only drinking their own urine. But you can recover by sucking my blood, and my self-recovery power is amazing, so just sucking blood will not affect my health."

"What kind of strange metaphor is this... We are not blood-sucking species, who wants to suck your blood."

Duo Luo Qian said with a pout, wanting to treat Xia De, but found that the wound on the fingertip had disappeared. The snow-white body continued to hug Xia De's right arm. Although Lei Qianya wanted to exchange, the writer lady didn't want to leave for the time being:

"But why? Xia De, why can you always absorb these messy things?"

She asked with some melancholy. They had long known about Xia De's abnormality, but because the changes had always been positive, they rarely mentioned it actively.

?? PS: Equivalent to red bar, blue bar, stamina bar can be converted into each other.
