Chapter 171: Swallow "without a trace", and control the incombustible realm of ignition!

Chapter 171 Devouring "Without a Trace", the Incombustible Territory—Randian Control!

 Shen Ge’s timeline four years later is that after killing the level 4 weird thing, the weird “without a trace” appeared near the hospital.

I thought it was hidden somewhere else, but after Shen Ge killed the fourth-level lizard, he came out as the "oriole". Now it seems that the other party has been hiding in the hospital.

At this time, everyone in the hospital seemed to have been evacuated. Shen Ge walked into the lobby of the complex. There was no one there. It was gloomy and there was a rotten stench in the air.

Shen Ge's eyes darkened slightly. He was very familiar with this smell. It was not the smell of an ordinary parasite, but the smell of a weirdo.

The person being parasitized is just because after being parasitized by the strange parasitism type, except for some internal organs that "survive" under the strange manipulation, the body shows signs of "death", rotting and smelling.

The weirdo is a parasitic weirdo who has successfully "fused" with humans, and this fusion also includes previously dead parts, so the smell on his body is more pungent, like meat that has been rotten for several months and then used to make it. Canned herring, the kind whose smell alone can kill you!

Shen Ge glanced around the lobby. The power outage in the hospital should have activated the emergency backup power. The emergency lights were flashing, making the lobby particularly scary.

Things on the front desk were pushed around, and there were large areas of blood stains. Blood marks left by dragging corpses could be seen on the ground. Metal benches were also knocked down, and some were even broken in the middle. Among the parasites, the only ones with this kind of power are level 2 monsters.

 Shen Ge asked the system to scan for weird and parasitic people, and asked Xiao Qi to detect the surrounding weird energy. Soon, a large number of red dots were updated on the [map].

But most of them are near the hospital. They are very small and densely packed in a large area. They are obviously the parasitic strange things that fell from the sky before.

The largest red dot on the [map] was in the basement. Shen Ge found a schematic diagram of the hospital's safety passage at the front desk. Based on the map, the red dot's location should be in the morgue.

Tick.

Shen Ge stared at the sarcoma "heart" and thought for a moment, then cut open another parasitized body on the side, took out a bone whip and tied it up.

At this moment, the “bump” the size of a basketball began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the growth direction was approaching Toshio Saeki.

Xiaoqi’s classmate detected that the closer to the morgue, the deeper the blood in the corridor became, and now it was almost ten centimeters deep.

“Gulu.”

Shen Ge cut open the strange baby's chest and found the "heart" among the pile of internal organs. However, the heart felt familiar to him at a glance.

The sound of water dripping into the blood on the ground was extremely terrifying in the dark environment, and the invisible pressure in the air made people almost breathless.

In normal times, Shen Ge would definitely choose to save this spiritual apple, but now he is racing against time and has to fight for "unfortunate" time with the international counterattack organization, so naturally he cannot stay here for too long.

The further you go, the darker the corridor becomes. The strangest thing is that the walls and ceiling also become damp, and drops of black blood are "squeezed out" and drip onto the ground.

"I borrowed it, give me a chance." Shen Ge walked straight downstairs, and nearly ten parasitized people suddenly swarmed up. The next second, the giant bone hammer hit the wall with a "pop" and turned into A puddle of meat.

“Tsk, it’s a prequel to The Thing, right?” Shen Ge reacted immediately. No wonder some weirdos looked like they were wrapped in a piece of white thin film human skin. They looked like this after they were born for a long time.

According to his calculations, the mental energy consumed to condense the invisible barrier from here to the morgue is far less than the consumption of stepping into the black blood and humic acid while wearing battle armor.

The position from the collarbone to the lower abdomen of the parasitized person looks like something is arching outward, holding up the human skin, and moving back and forth slowly.

Shen Ge looked at the location of the bulge, inserted the bone spur, and then cut open the skin of the parasitized person. As expected, there was a parasitic monster the size of a basketball inside.

At the same time as the reminder, Xiaoqi's classmate had already entered the alert mode and began to attach the carrion armor to Shen Ge's body.

Then, Shen Ge took out a military bag stuffed with grenades from his bloodskin backpack, poured the grenades out, stuffed the tied strange baby into the bag, sealed it in a sleeping bag, and put it into the bloodskin backpack.

"It would be a pity not to bring such good research materials back for Li Xiang to take a look at." Shen Ge guessed that people from the Twelve Branches were cultivating materials that would allow members to gain "multi-headed, multi-armed" abilities in this way. If Li Xiang could discover the key , maybe we can find a way to target the twelve "changing" abilities.

If it's the former, then it's very troublesome to find it, and whether you can find it or not depends entirely on "luck"; if it's the latter, you just need to follow the red dots on the [map] to clear it all the way. Clean up the red dots on the [map]. There must be one that is "without a trace", right?

At the same time, the smell of putridity and blood in the air became even stronger. If Shen Ge hadn't been wearing a special gas mask with a layer of carrion armor on the outside, he would have definitely been vomited at this time.

The blood stains on the floor of the corridor extended to the stairwell. After passing by, we found that several parasitized people whose heads had turned into flesh-eating cannibals were squatting in the corner and eating several corpses.

Shen Ge wanted to complain about why the emergency lights had to be red. This made the scene in the stairwell feel like a scene from "Resident Evil".

Poof.

Singer Shen's bone spur stabbed forward, directly piercing the strange baby's head, but the monster did not die. Instead, he raised his hands to grab the bone spur, as if trying to pull it out.

The most important thing is that the Carrion War Armor can only recover its ghost energy by self-recovery or by absorbing the ghost energy in red mist form for transformation, and its mental power only needs to eat a mental apple.

Shen Ge took advantage of the situation and pulled out the bone spur, and then stabbed again. This time, he aimed at the "heart" of the strange baby. After piercing it, the strange baby stopped moving within a few blows.

Shen Ge took out a tentacle and tried the black blood. As expected, it was consistent with what Xiao Qi had detected. It was highly corrosive, more corrosive than the green acid in the "Liu Zongrui" villa, but not as good as the flesh-and-blood giant. The strength of humic acid in the mouth and belly of the lizard.

Shen Ge waved his hand and put away the bone hammer. Xiao Qi attached the carrion armor to his arm, and then extended a bone spur to open the body of the parasitized person.

The morgue also has the largest number of red dots in the hospital.

After seeing Shen Ge, the throats of these parasites were beating even more fiercely, as if they had seen some delicious food.

It’s just that it’s different from the previous parasitic weirdness. This time it’s not a bug or a monster, but a humanoid shape with no face or facial features. The whole head seems to be wrapped in a white film-like skin.

Shen Ge walked towards the stairwell, obviously deciding to start from the area with the most monsters and the densest concentration of monsters.

Tick.

"I told you not to block..." Shen Ge complained and was about to leave when he suddenly noticed that the abdomens of the corpses of the parasites that he had smashed into pulp were bulging.

"However, it seems that there are no weird signs above level 2." Shen Ge wondered whether the system was still unable to scan the specific location of "Wu Trace", or whether the "Wu Trace" at this period was only at the first or second level, so it was hidden in among these little red dots.

Just after he finished complaining in his heart, one of the parasites who was eating the corpse heard the footsteps, held a handful of internal organs and staged a classic zombie look back with a smile.

Classmate Xiaoqi reminded: "Master, it has been detected that these black bloods are highly corrosive and have a mysterious reaction. It is best not to come into direct contact with them."

Shen Ge raised his feet and walked forward, but he did not step directly on the corrosive black blood on the ground, but on the invisible barrier condensed by the mysterious realm.

“Gulu.”

 Shen Ge went to the basement after getting rid of the strange baby in the stairwell. As soon as he walked out of the safe entrance of the stairwell, he saw black blood dripping on the ground.

Twelve red tumors on those guys' necks, it seems.

Shen Ge found it strange that along with the sound of blood dripping, his mind unconsciously recalled the ghost movies he had seen, and the terrifying pictures kept flashing back like a revolving lantern.

 Shen Ge walked in the dim underground corridor, his movements neither slow nor slow. While observing the movement around him, Xiao Qi also entered a high alert mode.

However, except for the sound of black blood dripping, the corridor was very peaceful, with no sign of anything strange, not even a shadow of the parasite.

"Could it be that Weird's stomach is here again?" Shen Ge clicked his tongue and stopped in front of the sliding door of the morgue, trying to look inside through the window on the door.

The inside of the window seemed to be covered with a thick layer of black goo. The entire window was blocked tightly and nothing could be seen.

The door to the morgue was ajar, and black blood seemed to be flowing out of it. If you look closely, you can see that it is flowing slowly.

Morgue, corpse water?

“It would be awesome if this was a corpse cricket transformation!” Shen Ge slowly opened the door.

The moment the door opened, the morgue seemed to be flooded with black blood. As soon as the door opened, black blood surged out like a wave, drowning Shen Ge in an instant, and then poured towards both sides of the corridor. There was a great flood.

Shen Ge still remained standing, as if the impact of the black blood wave was completely resolved by the carrion armor.

But in fact, Shen Ge discovered something was wrong.

When he came, the door of the morgue was already ajar. If it was flooded with black blood, the black blood in the corridor would not be so "shallow".

“Hallucination?” This was Shen Ge’s first reaction.

But he immediately denied this speculation.

 Shen Ge had seen the impact of the hallucinations created by the eighth-level weird "unlucky" realm in the future timeline on warriors such as Fenghua Youcai, but he was not affected by the hallucinations at that time. He can withstand the weird environment of the 8th level, and it is only a 4th level, and it will not drag it into an illusion.

If it’s not an illusion, then what is this?

From the moment he entered the hospital, the system was warning about information related to "Level 4 strange 'no trace'", and Xiao Qi was also vigilantly detecting the surrounding strange energy reactions.

But in the basement, the system has been quiet for a long time, and no new warnings have appeared for Xiao Qi, which means that he should be safe now.

Most importantly, Shen Ge also discovered a detail. Washed by the black blood pouring out of the morgue, the Carrion Armor did not appear to be consuming the magic energy defense.

“Xiao Qi, check the black blood pouring out of the morgue.” Shen Ge said.

Student Xiao Qi immediately replied: "Reporting to the master, there is currently no black blood pouring out of the morgue. The black blood deposited on the ground is in the same condition as in the corridor."

“But after I opened the door, I saw black blood pouring out like a wave, and now it is surging towards both sides of the corridor, like a big flood.” Shen Ge briefly described what he saw so far.

Classmate Xiaoqi said: "Reporting to the master, the picture you described did not appear after testing. However, it was detected that your hormone secretion was too high and your brain waves had abnormal reactions. It is judged that your mental state is unstable."

Mentally unstable?

Shen Ge wanted to say that he was in good spirits, but he quickly discovered something was wrong, and immediately asked: "When did my mental state start to become unstable?"

Since Xiao Qi is always on alert, he naturally monitors Shen Ge's every move. If anything unusual occurs, he will immediately remind him or take emergency measures.

“When you enter the underground area.” Xiao Qi replied.

Shen Ge immediately understood that this must have something to do with this area. The "fusion" of weirdness and architecture is nothing new.

There is the Weigui Turtle Fusion Complex in the front, the Yanagi Sorui Fusion Villa in the back, and a certain deep-sea monster is still trying to fuse the entire Sakura Island. Now there is a monster that is merging with the hospital building. It seems nothing to be surprised about.

“So, from the moment I entered the basement, I entered the weird ‘belly’, so I was affected by the situation here.”

“This morgue is where its ‘heart’ is, so why are you trying to prevent me from entering?”

【Swallowing strange things, you can extract characteristics. 】

“Swallow!”

【Level 4 weirdness (Characteristic: Traceless) was successfully swallowed, and the characteristic " Traceless " was extracted. This characteristic will be "fused" in a form more suitable for the host, and the host attribute panel has been updated. 】

【Without a trace: After turning on the characteristic, you can be shrouded in "white mist". In this state, you will not be detected or sensed by any equipment or ability. It consumes 0.5% of your energy per second. It can be turned on at the same time as other characteristics. 】

"Good guy, first it's Boruto, and now it's the Mist Ninja, right?" Shen Ge tried to activate the feature, and sure enough, he found that a dense fog formed by strange energy appeared around his body and completely enveloped him.

"...this."

Seeing his current state, Shen Ge suddenly felt that this ability was a bit "hard to describe". Although he could block all detections by hiding in the fog, for a person with such a big "fog ball", as long as he was not blind, he would know that there was no detection at all. Problem?

But fortunately, Shen Ge not only had the "no trace" feature, he immediately turned on the most commonly used "invisible" feature. As soon as the intangible effect came out, the dense fog immediately became invisible.

Although "without trace" is equivalent to being bound to the characteristic "invisible" for Shen Ge, once the three characteristics of "invisible + traceless + silent" are turned on, not to mention ordinary anti-evil agents, even high-level eerie His presence cannot be detected, and the safety factor is directly maximized.

[Crisis Mission 2: You are currently in a strange realm created by level 8 weirdness (characteristic: misfortune). There are a large number of high-level weirdnesses wandering here affected by level 8 weirdness. Please find at least one non-"characteristic" within 15 days. "Unfortunately" has the characteristic of killing strangely and choosing to devour it. 】

【Limited time: 15 days. 】

【Reward: Characteristic enhancement point x1, system point x1000, random e-level supplies x1. 】

【Crisis Mission 2 has been completed, do you want to withdraw the reward? 】

"yes!"

When Shen Ge first entered Tuokou City, he received the crisis mission of hunting down "Unfortunate" and a non-"Unfortunate" with strange characteristics.

At that time, he deduced from the mission that there was more than one person with weird characteristics in Tuokou City, and this one with weird characteristics was probably the "characteristic" that the system was eager to devour.

Now whether it is the crisis mission released from the future timeline system or this crisis mission, it is indeed consistent with what Shen Ge guessed.

Obviously, the system believes that Shen Ge can only defeat the level 8 "misfortune" after acquiring the characteristic "Without a Trace".

【Congratulations to the host for drawing the E-level supply - "Spirit Worm". After eating the spirit worm, the spirit worm will decompose in the body, leaving the host in a full state of energy within 10 minutes (that is, there will be no mental consumption)]

?

? ?

? ? ?

What kind of rice?

Spiritual bug?

.

“Ten minutes of unlimited mental power, this bug has something.” Shen Ge put the bug away and completed Crisis Mission 2. What surprised him even more was that he got some more characteristic enhancement points.

According to his previous habit, he must save it first and use it when he has the opportunity, but now he is about to face the eighth-level weird "misfortune", and he needs more strength and more protection.

Shen Ge generally chooses to strengthen characteristics based on "common use" and the specificity of abilities.

The four commonly used characteristics now, "silent", "immovable", "invisible" and "non-exit", have all been strengthened. Among them, "silent" and "immovable" are still the mysterious realms that have been awakened after secondary strengthening.

However, it can be seen from the "invisible" two-time strengthening of the mysterious realm that produced two forms. It is not certain whether the mysterious realm will be awakened after strengthening it several times. It depends more on "luck".

Through the effect of the characteristic, Shen Ge can roughly guess what kind of abilities the characteristic will produce after awakening to the mysterious realm, but after awakening to the mysterious realm, new abilities will usually be mutated.

Such as "collapse", "heart-breaking", "barrier", "bullet time" and other special abilities.

“Hey, is there any expert from the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect who can recommend me? I also want to join the sect and increase my characteristic enhancement points to 999+, so I don’t have to worry about it.”

Shen Ge is very confused about whether to build a "Type II" mystery realm with commonly used characteristics, or to enhance the characteristics of the mystery realm without awakening the mystery realm into a mystery realm.

“The main effect of Wu Trace is to shield oneself. According to the conventional deception ability, it should be to expand a shielding area. For now, it does not seem to have much effect.”

"Incombustibility can make itself non-combustible. If the awakening of the mysterious realm has a high probability of making an area incombustible, then this incombustibility is simply 'extinguishing fire', changing the materials in the area to incombustible, or controlling the temperature in the area to make it incombustible. Reached the burning point?”

“If it’s the latter, then there is some room for manipulation in controlling the temperature.”

 Shen Ge thought about it again and again and felt that the "incombustible" realm might be of "gamble" value. If it was controlled by burning point, it would be a magical skill.

 Even if not, it is a good ability to make an area in an inflammable state. Combined with various burning props and abilities such as sly fire, you can "put out fires" instantly no matter how bad things happen.

“It’s decided, strengthen the ‘non-combustible’!”

“Characteristic enhancement!”

【Should we use characteristic strengthening points to strengthen "Characteristic: Non-combustible"? 】

"yes!"

【The characteristic "non-combustible" has been upgraded! 】

Incombustible: After turning on the characteristic, you can enter the "non-combustible" state, and any burning damage during the characteristic maintenance phase will be "invalidated". Consumes 1% of energy per second and can be turned on at the same time as other features.

Consume 1%-50% of mental power (related to the volume of the object and the level of the ignition point), attach the mental power to the object, and make the object in a non-flammable state.

【Awakening of the "Incombustible Realm". 】

“Incombustible Realm (Type I)”: After unfolding the deceptive realm, it creates an “incombustible deceptive realm” with a radius of five meters with itself as the center. Targets in this deceptive realm will be in an incombustible state.

After the host expands the "Incombustible Territory", the host can decide the affected targets through thoughts, and non-influenced targets will not be in an incombustible state.

“Fire point control”

The host can control the target's burning point by consuming mental power, raising or lowering its burning point. After leaving the treacherous realm, the burning point will quickly return to normal.

Note: The target's ignition point changed in the treacherous realm will consume different levels of treacherous energy according to the original level of its ignition point.

The greater the changed value, the greater the mental energy consumption.

Consumption 1% per second -? ? %Mental strength.

——————

Although it is not the temperature control that Shen Ge expected, being able to control the target ignition point in the treacherous realm is not much different from controlling the temperature for him.

The reason why Shen Ge chose "non-burning" in the end was actually because he wanted to "bet" on the effect of strange alienation, which could reduce the weirdness that originally had a high ignition point.

After all, Shen Ge still likes to use fire to relieve his worries.

Shen Ge couldn't wait to find a strange creature to test the effect of the "fire point control" of the non-combustible strange realm. After returning to the ground, he asked Fang Mingyue to pick her up through the communicator.

At this time, Shen Ge suddenly remembered that when he went down to the basement, he was invisibly affected by the spirit and had hallucinations.

"So it can be inferred that if the 'no trace' is enhanced, the mysterious fog that is likely to be generated will not only shield detection from the outside world, but also cause hallucinations in people who enter the fog?"

“It seems that the mysterious effect that ‘Without Trace’ can produce is also good.”

However, Shen Ge does not feel regretful. After all, he currently has six characteristics and six mysterious realms, among which a "Type II" mysterious realm has appeared invisibly.

But among the six realms, none of them are "useless".

To be precise, after the system swallowed up the weirdness, although it felt that the ability of this "feature" was weakened to a certain extent, in fact, more flexible and practical abilities emerged through the weird realm.

Shen Ge had doubted that the characteristics of devouring through the system were strange, that most of the power was absorbed by the system, and he only gained a small part of the power.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t make jokes every time and don’t feed a trick king.

However, the abilities derived from the mysterious realm are also more mysterious and changeable than the original power of the characteristics, and the system may also be responsible for this.

"Oops!"

Shen Ge suddenly thought of a problem, that is, every time the system swallows the weird characteristics, it will fall into a deep sleep for a period of time.

“System, detect the strangeness around you.”

Sure enough, the system has stopped responding at this time.

"well."

Shen Ge sighed. Although the system updated the [Map] function after level 3, which saved him a lot of trouble, but with Xiao Qi's ability to detect, the absence of the [Map] after the system went to sleep does not mean it is completely touched. Blind, he stopped worrying about it.

"Detective Shen, do you need us to descend?" At this time, Fang Mingyue's armed helicopter has arrived above the hospital. Shen Ge replied "No", stepped on his sneaky boots, and jumped directly to the balcony of the inpatient department with his carrion tentacles, all the way "Fly" to the helicopter.

Fang Mingyue was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, holding a gun in her hand and pointing it at the helicopter pilot. She saw the confusion in Shen Ge's eyes and said, "After I went to the Self-Defense Force base, I first invaded the data department to check the pilot's files. This person’s file records that he cares about his family, his children are very young, and he lives in Shizuoka.”

Fang Mingyue can use both soft and hard tactics. She has shown that she is a member of the Allied Forces and is here to help Sakura solve the disaster.

She also mentioned that she discovered a very difficult and strange existence in Sichuan District. If she reported it to the police in accordance with the handling process, the situation would definitely become serious.

 And the strangeness is moving in the direction of Shizuoka, and the pilot's family is in Shizuoka. In other words, helping can not only save his own life, but also save his family and hometown.

Although Fang Mingyue has never done anything to coerce others, since she patted her chest and promised Shen Ge to complete the task, she must complete the task at all costs!

“Tan Shen, where are we going now?” Fang Mingyue asked.

Shen Ge narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Toe City."

Toe Castle, the strange and "unfortunate" home of the 8th level!
