Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 1000 The Potential of Divine Might

Next, his experiment will involve locking onto the scene in a video call with his eyes.

Xia Shou did not have high expectations for this experiment.

The fact that he could fixate on the angle Alice stole was already surprising to Xia Shou. If a live stream video could be fixed by the eyes, then this skill would be pure genius.

However, Xia Shou believed that it was unlikely to succeed.

Because it's from other people's perspectives. Even though he stole it, it's still a scene that others see with their own eyes. But live video streaming is different.

Live video streaming may seem like it's projecting a scene captured by a mobile phone, but it's actually the phone's camera recording light signals, which are then projected onto a screen through the combined action of electronic programs and hardware such as chips.

Although the video footage looks exactly like the real scene, it is actually a jigsaw puzzle made up of countless colored blocks and pixels.

Not to mention live streaming. After electronic signals are processed in one mobile phone, they are sent to another mobile phone via electromagnetic waves, and then decoded and re-expressed. The resulting picture is actually a second time that the essence has been changed.

Moreover, if you're holding a live-streaming phone and have your eyes closed, you're likely locking onto the real-world space that your naked eye can currently perceive.

What he sees now, the space where the hand holding the phone is located, is the real physical space, while the scene shown in the live stream is naturally not the real physical space.

Trying to lock the live stream on your phone is like trying to read the cultivation techniques the protagonist in a fantasy novel is reading—it's utterly impossible and a pipe dream.

Therefore, Xia Shou didn't think he could succeed at all. The reason he wanted to try was simply because he thought of a superpower movie, and video calls were convenient, quick and easy to conduct experiments, and cost nothing, so he just gave it a try.

Xia Shou made a video call to the other party, and after the employee answered, a corner of the room was shown in the video.

"Is this okay?" the employee asked.

"Well, yes."

Xia Shou, without much expectation, tried looking at the room scene on his phone, then closed his eyes and tried to lock the image in the video.

...Naturally, when he closed his eyes, he was locking away the real space he saw, that is, the scene directly in front of his eyes.

Sure enough, it was impossible to lock onto the spatial scene in the video, Xia Shou thought to himself.

However, the instant he activated the skill, he felt a strange sense of unease, as if... Kamui had actually tried to lock the spatial image in the video.

Xia Shou opened his eyes, brought the phone screen close to his left eye, and pressed it against his eyeball to make sure that his left eye could only see the phone screen.

Then, Xia Shou closed his eyes again.

He felt the supernatural power attempt to lock on, but it failed. However, the subtle feeling of that attempt to lock on remained.

It's like a person in the dark finding a spider's web. Although the web breaks easily when pulled, it can be guided forward with a gentle pull.

Xia Shou pulled on the "spider silk" and tried to increase the use of the skill. He felt a burning pain in his eyeballs!

Although it was an abnormal pain, Xia Shou was extremely excited!

A capability that cannot be effective against a target will not produce any results, just as the eyes cannot smell odors and the nose cannot see sunlight.

But now, his eyes are reacting!
This suggests that... perhaps his eyes can smell, but his olfactory organs are damaged by the eyeball itself!

Xia Shou gritted his teeth and carefully grasped the spider silk he sensed, trying to lock onto the scene he saw when he opened his eyes. The connection between him and that scene was this thin spider silk.

As Xia Shou's mental focus intensified, the pain in his eyes also increased. When it exceeded a certain limit, scalding liquid seeped from his eye sockets, and the almost unbearable pain attacked Xia Shou's brain.

"puff!"

Xia Shou felt something fly out of his left eye socket. When he opened his right eye, he saw a bloody sphere hit his phone screen, bounce off, and fall to his feet. The impairment of his biological vision caused the effect of the Divine Illumination to be interrupted, and the spider silk that his soul was holding onto also snapped in his mind.

Xia Shou looked down at his feet and then realized that the swollen, spherical thing on the ground was his eyeball, which had expanded to almost half its original size.

The left side of his face was wet, as if hot water was being poured on it continuously. A strong smell of blood filled the air, and even the employees who were working diligently nearby could smell the odor.

The employee frowned and turned his head suspiciously.

"Ah!!" He screamed in fright the moment he saw Xia Shou.

Xia Shou's left eye socket was empty, and thick, hot blood was gushing out of it. The amount of bleeding and the viscosity of the blood were obviously abnormal!
"Captain Xia? Are you... are you alright?" the employee asked, his face pale.

Xia Shou staggered, feeling extremely disoriented, with half his face and half his head feeling numb and swollen.

Are the side effects... really that severe?

But it doesn't matter, I had already decided to go back in time.

Even if it didn't turn out that way, he would still regress, because he never intended for anyone to know about this little experiment in the first place.

"Calm down, it's alright." Xia Shou raised his hand to reassure the other person.

He steadied himself against the wall, staggered to his feet, and tried to put on the Blood Demon's Satisfied Mask.

As long as he can put on the mask, he can reshape his eyes, allowing him to test for a little longer.

However, Xia Shou was shocked to discover that he was unable to summon the mask!

what happened?

How could this be?
His connection with the mask of desire has vanished!

The vision in the other eye also blurred, and thinking became extremely sluggish. Because of this sluggishness, the brain began to play repetitive thoughts, and thinking ability plummeted within a few seconds. Only the five senses of the body continued to function in a basic way.

His left eye socket was still bleeding, and the bleeding continued. He felt that the blood on his body had become strange, as if there was a force that was pushing the blood towards the wound near his eye socket, pumping it out continuously.

The next second, he died.

Xia Shou rewinds time to before he found someone to conduct the experiment. He pushes open the door and walks straight to the elevator entrance on the floor, brushing past the same few employees along the way.

While pondering the unexpected situation that had just occurred in the experiment, Xia Shou idly watched the news channel in the elevator. He saw that three extremely dangerous and abnormal events were mentioned in passing by the host, while the one that was reported in detail was a Scandinavian man born and raised in Japan.

The other person was about the same age as him and spoke fluently in front of the camera. With the introduction of the host, he revealed his background and identity. His mother was a member of the Humanity Library and later left the library to join the Clock Tower, while his father was a member of the Tower of Babel. With such a family background, he chose to join the Control Bureau when he had just come of age.

"What is your motivation for joining the Control Bureau?" the host asked.

The boy looked at the camera, a sunny smile on his face, and said, "I'm here to replace Xia Shou, Miss Witch. That person isn't worthy to be your trump card."

No need to search anymore, the person who can truly satisfy you is me!

Ok?
Xia Shou was stunned.

He was momentarily stunned as the program was suddenly cut off and the channel was switched.

The interview program just now mentioned his name, and it seemed... they even mentioned the minister?
"What's going on?" Xia Shou frowned in confusion.

Is this also part of public relations?
