Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 160 10. Whoever dares to say that Zhongyan is a miser, my loyal Zhou Ke will be the first to smash his head!
Things in the Badlands were always so bad, and everything related to psychics was even worse. For example, two days before the agreed departure time, a drug addict's mistake directly led to the high-level leaders of the Eagle State being almost "caught in one fell swoop."

These are all Zhou Ke's comments in a "conservative" way.

To be honest, if he had not been enabled by the "End of the World Power" to make an ultimate heroic appearance at the last moment, the Beta Base would have already transformed into a "great anomaly" and stood upright in the occupied area where no one paid attention. This would be equivalent to the Jiubang performing a spiral-ascension-style self-destruction operation in a corner where no one paid attention.

I won’t talk about the culprit, Master Gris.

That guy knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he still had some sense of responsibility and stayed in the unstable spiritual world instead of escaping from the crime. His body, which was used by the Shadow Offspring as a node to invade reality, had been chopped into pieces by the Evil Vulture and "evaporated" by Zhou Ke. Even if he wanted to return to the material world, he could only do so by "finding a substitute."

And now no one else can spare the time to open the "Jiubang Xiangtang" to conduct the "Trial of the Psychic" on him.

The main thing is that other qualified masters are all looking more miserable than each other.

You, Gris, should just be happy about losing your body. Look at the recognizable Master Pent in leather pants. He has grown a third and fourth hand, and his eyeballs that were punctured by himself have grown back, and he has been given "rare skin and double pupils".

The torture he suffered on both the mental and physical levels was basically equivalent to throwing a person into a meat grinder and then sewing him up again. The level of contamination is now so high that he has to lock himself in a confinement purification room. He dare not step out of the cage until his self-purification is complete.

In my current "half-demon" state, if I dare to speak to anyone, the other party will have to pass at least three San Checks first. If they fail, the consequences will be disastrous.

The situation of the other masters was not as bad as that of the unfortunate Leather Pants, but it was definitely not much better.

So when Ms. Evil Eagle woke up the next day after having a strange nightmare all night, she was faced with an Eagle State where the upper levels were almost completely paralyzed overnight, the middle levels were frightened, and the lower levels suffered heavy losses.

Although the spatial structure of the entire Beta base has returned to stability, those subtle spiritual realms still exist in many corners. If they are not cleaned up carefully, the base will soon be uninhabitable. The number of psychics who were "missing" because they were dragged into the spiritual phase last night has not yet been counted, but it is conservatively estimated that there are no less than 150 people.

This is not just a storm, this is a serious injury.

The cause was simply a ruthless display of strength by the "Chaos Idea King" from the Lightless Sea.

After all, being a psychic is basically like cutting off your head and hanging it on your belt the day you enter the profession, and every day you live after that is considered a big win.

However, the advantage of the Eagle State is that when Rhine established this organization, it had planned a "talent reserve" mechanism for it in advance. Although the recruits in the psychic training camp that has been operating for several years are not very useful, there is still a psychic master who is good at teaching and several high-level psychics in charge, and they can pull together a team at a single command.

It is definitely not possible to expect them to accomplish great things, but it is entirely possible to maintain order and clean up the remaining spiritual realms under the current panic situation in the Beta base.

The first order that Ms. Evil Vulture issued after waking up was quite harsh.

She demands that "drugs must be banned" in Jiubang in the future. If anyone dares to take drugs again, she will chop you to pieces before the shadow descendants or black evil monsters come to find you to prevent future troubles.

It can only be said that the Evil Eagle knows how to "mend the fold after the sheep have been lost", although in Zhou Ke's opinion, this order still came a little late. Hopefully, this bloody lesson can help the drug addicts in the Eagle State to make some progress.

So, what is Mr. Zhou Ke, who appeared as a hero last night and saved the situation, doing now?

Answer: I am happily being an "evil earth male succubus".

"Don't tell me, this twitching is really itchy."

Qiao Shan, who looked as exhausted as a sharpshooter who had fired twenty shots in one night, sighed. He had now returned to his normal form and was feeling the "emptiness" in his body with a conflicted look on his face.

Zhou Ke, who was sitting on his left, leaned back on the sofa, accepting D-4's gentle shoulder massage while looking at the new mask in his hand that only he could see.

This is what was just extracted from Qiao Shan.

Obviously, Zhou Ke intends to replicate the "Ajie story" on Qiao Shan, who has already "changed his fate". He will complete the "in vitro precipitation" for Qiao Shan by extracting a large amount of biological energy in a short period of time. Then, when Qiao Shan's body and combat skills have grown to the peak, he will use the "mask return" method to help him become an ascender.

This process has been tried once on Ajie, and it is absolutely feasible both in theory and practice, provided that Qiao Shande can endure the severe pain during the return.

Judging from Ajie's performance at the time, the pain was not simply acting on the physical and nervous levels. If his will and spirit were not strong enough, there was no way he could complete the "promotion".

"Your little mask is quite interesting."

Zhou Ke looked at the black mask that had already taken shape in his hand.

This thing is black and red in color, and is very similar to the ghost mask of Ajie, the biochemical madman, but Qiao Shan's improvement and enhancement was added with some "special seasonings" by the Flash Organization, which directly caused the main body of Qiao Shan's mask to present a more hideous posture.

Ajie's evil ghost mask at least had some human shape, but the one in front of him was almost a weird combination of some insect, beast and human face.

It reveals the uniqueness of a "stitched monster", but judging from the appearance alone, it still has a bit of domineering.

"To be honest, I didn't quite understand the process you just described, but I roughly understand that as long as you extract 'bioenergy' from me regularly, you can help me complete the most important energy purification process for the Ascendant?"

Qiao Shan weakly picked up the water cup and took a sip, moistening his throat before saying:
“How many times do I need to draw?”

“It all depends on talent and luck.”

Zhou Ke played with the "black beast" mask and said:
"I drew about 10-15 times from Ajie, but his situation was special. His final promotion was achieved by burning his life potential, so it will take longer for you. But if you can accept that each draw will completely 'drain' you, I estimate that it should be done within 10 times.

Including the time left for you to rest and recover, it will be two months at most."

"That's acceptable."

Qiao Shan nodded, and then was hit by a wave of critical attacks from D-4. The mechanical girl said calmly:
"What the boss said is only what he has to do during this period of time, but you can't just wait for the boss to help you purify the energy. The sublimation state is a complex and comprehensive breakthrough. While the biological energy is being purified and precipitated, your own container must also meet the standards.

According to Ajie's standards, the potential of the enhanced biological surgery you are currently undergoing has not been fully developed, your willpower still has room for further improvement, and most importantly, you must learn about psychic power from scratch.

You are not required to master spellcasting skills, but you'd better be able to control the psychic organs in your brain and make sure you don't fall into the temptation of psychic power.

Based on my assessment of your current situation, you won’t be able to rest for the next two to three months. You will have to complete exercises that push your physical and mental limits every day.”

"more than!"

Wu Neng also spoke:

"Biochemical warriors are ultimately just inferior substitutes for the Flash Organization's artificial sublimator project. Your use of anger is commendable, but this way of fighting is obviously not enough to unleash the full potential of your body.

I have to tell you with regret, Johnson.

You will then undergo a series of rigorous combat training from D-4 until your rough fighting habits are completely reversed."

"The practice of meditation begins tonight!"

Zhou Ke blew out a smoke ring and said:
"I have the meditation method of the Serpent State Knight Commander. You don't need to pursue complex elementalization, but you must learn to use meditation to control the excessive release of emotions and thoughts. According to the Enlightened One Thoth's theory, anger also consumes biological energy. You must learn to carefully control your rage while releasing it.

So, how difficult is this process?
Let me give you an analogy. It is basically equivalent to giving junior high school dropouts in this power system two to three months to prepare and then take the college entrance examination, with only one chance.

The consequences of not passing the passing line are similar to what happened to Ajie. "

Qiao Shan's expression was very serious at this time, but he was not afraid. Instead, he asked in a cautious tone:
"But these enhancements were made for me by the Flash Organization. Zhou Ke, do you think they did something in the process? For example, they wrote an obedience program into my genes. All it takes is a wake-up word to make me lose my mind and hurt you.

I heard something similar from Mr. Moni. He said that Panis' biological laboratory has such technology."

"It's possible, and the possibility is quite high."

Zhou Ke said:
"But this is not what you need to worry about now. When you complete the Ascendant's breakthrough, you can avoid similar biological control through the reshaping of your life rank. After all, I don't think the genes of an Ascendant are the same as those of an ordinary person. Once the foundation changes, those control methods based on the mechanism will naturally be abolished.

I'll take care of these things, you should start your practice as soon as possible.

Go and have a rest, come back in the evening and I will teach you how to meditate."

"Well, thank you for your help, Zhou Ke."

Qiao Shan stood up and bowed to Zhou Ke. He said in a deep voice:

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I won't let you down."

"I never entrust others with tasks that I need to complete myself, so you don't have to worry about disappointing me, Ashan."

Zhou Ke put out his cigarette in an ashtray made of a can and said:

"If you care too much in your life, you won't be happy. My advice is, don't always care so much about other people's feelings. There's nothing wrong with living a more selfish life, but the premise is, don't let yourself down."

"Yeah, I understand."

Qiao Shan walked out the door with weak legs. After he left, rubbing his head, D-4 whispered:
"He didn't ask about Mu Fang and Xiao Ya. Did he lose some memory?"

"Probably not."

Zhou Ke stroked his chin and said:

"Maybe it's because Qiao Shan thinks it's his private matter and he can handle his own life. Besides, I'm not his father, so I have no reason or motivation to pay so much attention to Qiao Shan's private life. I'm actually quite interested in his scripted 'ability'."

As he spoke, Zhou Ke put on the "black beast" mask on his face, adjusted himself to it after a while, then raised his left hand with anger radiating from his heart. The strange black keratin quickly covered his arm, and with a swish, a sharp blade like a rhinoceros beetle's halberd popped out.

"Swish" Zhou Ke swung the sharp blade down, splitting the scrap steel table in front of him into two, showing that this inconspicuous biological blade has exaggerated cutting performance.

"The sharpness and durability are both good. It is obvious that this is not an ordinary biological feature enhancement. I guess this is a hard job that the Flash Organization got from some extraterritorial monsters."

Zhou Ke took off his mask with some regret and said:
"Unfortunately it's a melee enhancement, so I can't use it in most situations."

"You should probably keep it as a trump card."

D-4 suggested:
"The strength and upper limit of this mask are much higher than the 'Flash' mask in your hand. You can keep borrowing it until it is returned to Qiao Shan."

"Even after I return, I can still borrow it when I need it."

Zhou Ke smiled and said:
"Bioenergy is like a man's strength. Once it's used up, you just need to rest for a night and it will grow back. It's almost the purest clean energy. Qiao Shan will not refuse to share his talent with me, but I'm actually more curious about another thing."

He reached out and pinched D-4's cheek, saying:
"Don't forget, the Metal Hunter Mask in my hand is continuously strengthened by extracting 'abnormal energy' from you. I'm very curious, when that mask reaches 'permanence' one day and I return it to you, what kind of appearance will you, this charming robot girl, transform into?

Does the theory of the Ascender also apply to machines?"

"I think that's probably the last step for D-4 to fully perfect his pseudo-personality. What I mean is, from 'pseudo-personality' to 'real personality'."

Wu Neng guessed:
"Or to put it another way, from a simulated soul to a real soul. The upgrade of machinery and data. To be honest, this machine is also very interested in this."

"Please stop treating me like a test subject, two perverts, or I will sue you to Ms. Evil Eagle."

D-4 reached out and pushed Zhou Ke's fingers away, pretending to be angry and said:
"Rather than exploring my future form, there are obviously more important things to deal with right now, right?"

She pointed to the seemingly ordinary iron box that Zhou Ke placed on the table, and Zhou Ke also set his eyes on that thing.

He picked it up and opened it carefully. Inside was the broken "Demon Eye" left after the "Son of Chaos" was "purified" last night. This thing was no longer strongly contaminated, but Zhou Ke could still hear sneaky whispers in his ears when he touched it.

"According to Afu's previous description, she said that this high-level trophy from the Sunless Sea comes with a special conceptual power called 'Subspace Essence'. For psionic masters, this is an important material for them to complete the 'Soul Transformation' to the next step."

Zhou Keru tossed the strange demon pupil up and down like a pinball and said:
"Afu said that when this thing is used properly, it can elevate the essence of a mortal's soul."

“But I don’t recommend it.”

D-4 said with concern:
"Your situation is different from that of everyone else in the Badlands. There are three higher-dimensional projections within your mind, and you cannot directly use other people's theories.

What's more, you said before that after you embarked on the path of psychic power, the symbol of the black sun has subtly overwhelmed the pale light corona. This is not a good thing. If you continue to use this strange object that comes directly from the warp, I estimate that the black and white confrontation on your spiritual level may be completely unbalanced.

Although it is impossible to predict what will happen, I still think we should not take risks in this matter."

"This machine agrees!"

Wu Neng said:
"Why don't you throw this sneaky thing into the trash can? Or since the psychics want it so much, why not use it to make a deal? Haha, I see that Ms. Rhine is still charming, and her hardware in all aspects is even better than that of Weng Meiyu.

The most important thing is that they are not "leftovers".

Isn't this what you like?"

"You're getting more and more outrageous, Wuneng."

Zhou Ke put the cold demon pupil back into the box and cursed:

"Don't think about helping me build a harem every day, Eunuch Wu. Is it really that good to be a shrimp-headed robot man and let yourself go? And how can such a good thing be exchanged for a body that I will get tired of sooner or later?
Of course, we will use it as a tool to dig out the biggest secret hidden deep in Rhine's heart!
That secret about her and little Acholi's mysterious father, I'm sure Rhine knows something, even the truth we've been looking for!
She may not know it all.

But she certainly knew some of it, and that was one of the reasons that prompted her to come to the Badlands and establish the Eagle Nation."

"Hohoho, this machine knows that D-4 is fully capable of fulfilling her duties."

Wu Neng sneered sarcastically:
"If you're feeling weak, just say it. No one here will laugh at you. Um, someone is coming. My machine has dodged. Silver Fox and the other AIs are fighting with Rust Castle and are calling my machine to watch. As everyone knows, my machine loves to watch group fights.

The energy-enhancing device has entered standby mode!

Call me if you need anything."

It made a "beep" sound, and then all the noisy sounds disappeared. Zhou Ke sighed helplessly and turned to D-4 and said:
"This guy is really letting himself go. Don't mind his teasing. You know, I respect you very much."

"Yes I know."

D-4 smiled and said:
"Please use this sentence to convince yourself next time before you force me into that damn slut mode when you're horny. And I think that in such an extreme situation, I can really drain you, an unethical Ascender, dry. After all, my energy system and central drive won't get tired, but yours will...

Anyway, boss, don't embarrass yourself next time, OK?"

"understood."

Zhou Ke made an OK gesture.

A few seconds later, his door was pushed open, and Afu supported Ms. Rhine and walked in. The latter had recovered a little, but her heroic face was still so pale that there was no blood in it, and she looked like a vampire.

She had a scar on her forehead.

If you look closely, it looks like a tightly closed eye, which undoubtedly adds a touch of mysterious ominousness to the evil vulture.

"I'm here to thank you, Mr. Zhou Ke."

Ms. Rhine said politely:

"I must admit that bringing you to Beta Base was the best decision I made this year. You undoubtedly saved my little business. However, I am very curious about the abilities you demonstrated last night."

She stared at Zhou Ke.

This time, Zhou Ke in her eyes was a normal flesh and blood being, just as if those high-dimensional projections she saw last night before she fell into a coma were just illusions caused by mental damage.

But Rhine knew that he might have accidentally seen something extraordinary.

Although the man in front of him who always smiles with squinting eyes modestly calls himself an "ordinary wastelander", he is definitely not. His real existence is something of a higher dimension, which can even be called a "large active phenomenon."

This is a special term used by psychics such as Jiubang to summarize all psychic phenomena that cannot be explained at present. For example, they will regard the time maze as a "great anomaly" and call all subordinate existences related to the time maze "subsidiary anomalies."

It is worth mentioning that Jiubang regards the month of fetal movement as the No. 001 major anomaly.

Obviously, in their eyes, the existence of the fetal movement moon directly constitutes the foundation of the current world.

"Can you let me see your unique power again?"

Rhine said softly:
"I must confirm that what I saw last night was not an illusory end! I had only heard of it in certain legends before, that high-dimensional symbol that could fight against chaos."

"Well, I have some idea of what you want to see, but unfortunately, that boss is not someone I can always call upon."

Zhou Ke put his hands in his trouser pockets, shrugged, and joked:
"Unless you take the risk of summoning another Shadow Spawn into the material world, I imagine that Boss would be happy to kill them all for free. He truly hates these Chaos creatures.

But if it is the secondary power of the end, there is nothing inconvenient to show it."

Facing the partners he recognized, Zhou Ke was quite generous. With a wave of his hand, three shadow warriors jumped out from his elongated shadow, forming a triangular formation to protect Zhou Ke.

But at this moment, everyone in the room exclaimed, including Zhou Ke.

Because the three shadow warriors are "different"!

This time they were still dark as if they had fallen into a jar of soy sauce, but within the torsos of the shadow warriors visible to the naked eye, there was a chilly white glow that flickered in the form of arcs of light.

That was the light Zhou Ke used to crush the offspring of shadow last night.
"Ah, last night I begged the boss to give me some reward, but I thought he was too lazy to pay attention to me. I didn't expect that the real boss would do things so quietly."

Zhou Ke raised his eyebrows and watched Uncle Ohm use his shadow to shape a sword. The white light was dancing on the blade.

He knew that the end had rewarded him!

Now his Shadow Warriors are the "Plus" version, and they also have the valuable "Special Attack Against Chaos Creatures".

Who said that the boss is stingy?

Come on, come on, stick your head out and let Zhou Ke give you a buff. Isn’t this being fair?

Zhou Ke helped others vent their anger, and he got the reward he deserved.

Hey, who wouldn’t be confused if you meet a boss like this?

Zhou Ke decided to find a piece of rag and embroider a dragon robe for Boss Zhongyan himself! What chaos and psychic power? Don't call me anymore. I'm afraid Zhongyan will misunderstand.
