My left and right hemispheres fight each other.

"It's your turn," Chen Jing said, rubbing his wrist.

"What? What? Me? Me?" Chen Xin pointed to herself in disbelief.

"Before the second shot, I had already corrected the trajectory of the bullet. Considering his abnormal physical strength and the high stopping power and low penetration of the hollow-point bullet, in my simulation, this bullet would first pass through his eyeball, the soft tissue inside the orbit, and the bone of the orbital roof, then cross the dura mater and the anterior frontal lobe, and finally embed itself in the white matter of the frontal lobe. Moreover, I have left a lot of room for error. Even if the bullet goes a little deeper, it will not severely damage the brainstem, hypothalamus, or basilar artery, so as not to kill him instantly and completely." Chen Jing's lips moved like a machine gun, and his hands kept gesturing in the air, describing something to Chen Xin.

"So? What do you need me to do?" Chen Xin still didn't understand.

"Oh dear, you idiot. What I mean is, he won't die immediately. Isn't that exactly what you've been dreaming of—a chance to kill a Wanderer without feeling guilty, without violating any morals, etc.?" Chen Jing slammed his fist on Wang Yu's head from a distance, urging him on.

"So, what are you waiting for? Simply put, his vital signs haven't completely stopped, or do you want me to put it another way? While it's still fresh?"

Chen Xin, almost in a daze, held the scalpel and, under Chen Jing's detailed guidance and urging, tremblingly stabbed it into Wang Yu's brain, completely destroying the harbor where the will to live resided.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Xin's strength, combined with his psychological resistance, meant that even after several attempts, he couldn't pierce the skull cartilage that Chen Jing had carefully selected for him. In the end, he managed to penetrate the eye socket, which had already been smashed into a pulp.

"Done, done." Chen Jing clapped his hands and dragged Wang Yu's feet deeper into the area.

"What...what are we doing?" Chen Xin's mind was still somewhat numb.

"They're dumping the body," Chen Jing muttered casually.

"The police are right above us, and you're still taking your time disposing of the body?" Chen Xin came to her senses.

"If being anxious can solve the problem, I can be anxious with you. By then, I might even be crying from anxiety," Chen Jing said, still trying to laugh it off.

"Don't worry, this underground level is constructed with special building materials and is absolutely sealed. I can't guarantee that the gunshots won't get out, since the materials have aged considerably, but even if the sound does leak out, it will definitely be attenuated to a great extent." In the end, Chen Jing added a reassuring remark.

"Where is this? And how do you know so much? You...we're just mental patients locked up here."

"Didn't I tell you? This is a paradise for sinners and an Eden for the mad."

Speak like a human.

"In plain terms, this is a relic from a bygone era." Chen Jing pointed to the rooms on either side:

"This hospital doesn't have any seriously dangerous patients anymore. Even those with a tendency to harm others are only classified as low-risk, just like you who played with poop."

"It's us."

Chen Jing shrugged indifferently: "And here are all guys who have been 'completely cured' by the old-fashioned neurology or have undergone 'complete treatment' but still haven't been cured."

"When the predecessor of this mental hospital was to be demolished and rebuilt, those truly insane people who didn't know where to go and couldn't be made public were stored here."

"Haha, and you ask me how I know? Didn't you say yourself that you're the mentally ill one, and I'm the king here?"

Chen Jing threw the rather heavy corpse in his hand, whose once taut muscles had now become loose and flabby, in front of the large iron gate deep underground.

"Hey buddy, do me a favor. Keep this pile of meat safe for me, make sure no one but me finds it, okay?" Chen Jing tapped the hard black iron.

Compared to the iron doors of the other rooms, this door should be called a prison door.

Behind those rusty black iron pillars, a scarlet eye gradually lit up, staring intently at Chen Jing, who had a smile on his face.

After a long silence, a dry, teeth-grinding voice rang out: "What can I obtain?"

Chen Jing casually glanced at the eyeball that hadn't blinked for so long, without asking if the other person's eyes were dry, and leaned against the door without any suspicion: "That depends on what you want."

"I like your gun," the other person replied.

"That won't do. I still need it, and besides, it's not mine; I have to return it." Chen Jing resolutely refused.

The deal failed, and the light in his eyes intensified, revealing a hint of bloodthirsty madness.

Chen Xin gripped her wrist, trembling slightly, but Chen Jing showed no intention of moving away: "Let's discuss it again. I can offer other bargaining chips."

"You like handguns? In a few days, how about I get you a Desert Eagle, a gold one?" Chen Jing shrugged and laughed.

The murderous intent emanating from the red light remained unwavering and drew ever closer.

"Cowboy? How about the cowboy one? A super-sized, super cool leather-handled silver revolver?" Chen Jing continued rambling, making a chicken leg shape with his hand.

"Deal." The red light paused for a moment, then gradually disappeared, issuing a warning before vanishing:

"I'll only keep it for you for ten days. If I don't see what you promised by then, this piece of meat is mine."

"Please go ahead." Chen Jing gestured for him to proceed.

Chen Xin saw a withered, decaying hand, as dry and rotten as rotten wood, swiftly reach out and easily pull Wang Yu's still-warm body into the seemingly boundless darkness.

When he came to his senses, he found Chen Jing staring blankly into the cell with great interest.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Xin asked curiously.

"I was just wondering if I, the king, have had my power diminished," Chen Jing joked, then decisively turned and went back upstairs.

He walked confidently until he reached the emergency exit leading to the back of the hospital, and went into a men's restroom there.

He passed several police officers and could tell that the two gunshots had been significantly reduced in volume, failing to arouse their suspicion or concern. Only a few vigilant officers were constantly getting up and patrolling, observing the surroundings.

He removed his protective gear and threw it into the medical waste bin that had been prepared beforehand, while the young nurse quietly stood guard at the door.

"How did you do that?" Chen Xin asked in surprise.

"What do you mean?" Chen Jing used a lot of hand sanitizer, rubbing it vigorously on his face and hands.

"We...we just passed by so many police officers, and you were wearing such strange clothes, yet they didn't ask you anything?"

While lathering the foam, Chen Jing explained, "This is a common technique in psychology that can minimize your presence in the eyes of others. Its effectiveness depends on how low your own presence is and how wary the other person is."

"For example, it's difficult to do it if you're wearing particularly flashy clothes, and the same applies if the other person is very wary of you."

"On my way back to the hospital, I subconsciously told every police officer I saw that I was wearing the same outfit that they would still ignore me. Luckily, they didn't think the two shots were gunshots, and my attire is fairly common in hospitals, isn't it?"

"Haha, if I had to come up with a name, I think I've heard a pretty fitting one somewhere before, something like... Psychology Invisibility?"

"Common? Is it?"

Chen Jing rubbed his hands and face until the skin was raw, revealing a little pink, but he kept going.

"Actually, what I wanted to ask was, how did you manage to be so incredibly agile, leaping and bounding around that monster like in the movies?"

"Do you remember the basic ability of Rain Night Blade? The first sentence is that it provides the owner with a 15% speed bonus. That's right, the owner. Chen Ying's description specifically distinguishes between the owner, the user, the equipment user, etc. This means that as long as you possess Rain Night Blade, even if it's stored in subspace, you will still enjoy this bonus." Chen Jing patiently explained:

"As for that Viper Speed ​​Fragment, I confirmed after using it that the 10% speed increase is not normal... I should put it this way, the improvement that this fragment gave me is specific, not all-round."

"After using it, I immediately felt that my explosive speed had increased by a huge margin, you understand? I was completely bad at dealing with that guy's mid-range attacks. He was so fast that I couldn't react, but I could judge his position and respond to his movements based on the sound of the wind, my premonition, and the feeling of the airflow blowing on my body, so as to carry out intermittent guerrilla warfare and sudden attacks..."

"Most importantly, that so-called 'culinary master's insight,' I originally thought it was rather useless..." Chen Jing stopped washing, a smile playing on his lips.

"It seems to treat people as food as well, and I will understand everything about the food, like the butcher's skill in dissecting an ox? Although I am proficient in anatomy and already understand those human weaknesses, with this skill, even in a blurry vision, even at speeds that my naked eye cannot distinguish, I will have a very mysterious instinct, a premonition, telling me that there, that's it, and cutting open there will be a piece of cake."

"No wonder...no wonder I always have these weird feelings, especially when I'm staring at a certain person." Chen Xin exclaimed in sudden realization, "Is this the beast's insight?"

Chen Jing pursed his lips helplessly, then, as if remembering something, interrupted Chen Xin's idea of ​​doing experiments with the little girl outside the door: "Don't you have anything else you want to ask?"

Chen Xin nodded then: "Oh, right, I wanted to ask, why can you immediately perceive the changes in your body after using it?"

"That's right, that's the key." Chen Jing snapped his fingers, feeling his palms and face gradually dry, took the hospital gown back from the nurse and put it on.

"Chen Ying, we're about to enter the hunting mission, shouldn't you grant me your access now?"

"Hunting mission countdown: 57 seconds."

"Preparation has begun."

"The basic permissions of the 'Canwei' super intelligent agent have been upgraded."

"Open to Hunter 1-0"

"Hunter privileges have been successfully exercised. The captured loot will be automatically subject to basic appraisal."

Basic identification complete:

object--

"Basic Boiling Blood Potion"

Quality: Always available

基本能力:服用后在3s内释放30%的沸血药效，并在300s后达到100%，持续900s。

Unique ability:

1. Primary Blood Boiling Effect: Forcefully activates the user's blood activity to 200% of the normal level, which can greatly enhance the user's physical strength, speed, recovery ability, and endurance.

2. Exhausted Blood: After the effects of the Boiling Blood drug wear off, the user will enter a state of exhaustion that lasts for one hour, during which the user's blood vitality drops to 70% of its pre-dose level.

background:

It was a land ruled by vampires who had finally achieved peace at the height of their power and thus began to indulge in their pleasures.

To create different flavors from the blood provided by livestock and slaves, vampires developed numerous potions specifically for blood.

This bottle of basic blood-boiling potion is the entry-level version for those who prefer strong, spicy blood.

Remark:

The process of developing the drug was absolutely sinful, but the result was...

That's right, the slaves successfully mutated... no, evolved, by using these potions that were made into different flavors from their blood.

They overthrew the vampires' rule with these inhumane potions, crafted from the bones of countless of their companions.

... "

"I was the one who killed him, so how can you get the spoils?" Chen Xin asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course. Does that mean that if a hunter brings a target to the brink of death, and then a sandstorm blows in, becoming the last straw that breaks the camel's back, the hunter loses the right to obtain the spoils? It's obvious that there's no way to judge it that way. The definition of death is too vague. That so-called 'Dao Qi' main space is cultivating sharp blades, not playing word games with people." Chen Jing nodded matter-of-factly.

He waved his hand again:

"But that's not the point, don't interrupt me at this crucial moment!"

"The key to this matter is! Chen Ying, immediately conduct a 'microscopic' assessment of Chen Xin."

"The identification of 'Canwei' is in progress..."

"Identification successful:"

Name: Chen Xin.

Physical strength rating: 6.

Body speed rating: 5.

Physical strength rating: 6.

……

Overall physical fitness score: 6.

……

Brain inspiration score: 6.

Natural affinity score: 4.

Willpower rating: 5.

……

Overall combat capability index: 5.

Based on Mr. Chen Jing's understanding, Chen Ying assessed him as being at the average level of adult males on Earth.

"Alright, now proceed with the 'Shenwei' assessment for me," Chen Jing said.

"You and I shouldn't be the same..." Chen Xin's words came to an abrupt end.

"The identification of 'Canwei' is in progress..."

"Identification successful:"

Title: Chen Jing.

Physical strength rating: 9.

Body speed rating: 11.

Physical strength rating: 9.

……

Overall physical fitness score: 9.

……

Brain inspiration score: 9.

Natural affinity score: 2.

Willpower rating: 9.

……

Overall combat capability index: 9.

Based on Mr. Chen Jing's assessment, Chen Ying evaluated him as a world-class consecutive champion boxer on Blue Star.

"What...does this mean?" Chen Xin was both puzzled and astonished.

"For every ambiguous matter, such as strength, which involves multiple factors including explosiveness and sustainability, she must have considered the law of diminishing marginal utility in the algorithm. This roughly means that when using two planks of equal length to form a rectangle, the area that a square can encompass is always the largest. And its influence on the algorithm is probably quite significant."

"In other words, the more average the values ​​are, the higher the score you get from her. A score of 5 is the average level of an adult male on Earth. If all scores are 5, the overall combat ability index is 5. These 5 and 9 represent our combat power level when we are unarmed, based solely on the stats."

"This evaluation does not take into account many factors, such as mindset, environment, and creativity, and is for reference only," Chen Ying issued a disclaimer.

"No, that's not what I meant," Chen Xin interrupted Chen Jing, saying, "What I meant was, since we're using the same bodies, why are the test results so different?"

"That's the key." Chen Jing smiled and touched his chest, while his other hand pointed to his brain:

"It's the same body, but you and I have completely different levels of control over it, and the level we can utilize is vastly different."

"Neither you nor I usually exercise much. Occasionally I'll do a few sets of training while you're sleeping, so your strength score is only 6. In Chen Ying's estimation, this is the level of a fitness enthusiast."

"But with the same body, I can have more complete and perfect control. I can control the tension of every muscle group and the direction of every tendon. If I have enough muscles in my intestines, I can even make them pop out of my navel and swing wildly."

"Uh, you get what I mean. I can control the blood flow rate in every blood vessel in our body. In my eyes, the body is actually always operating like a precision instrument."

"Aren't you...tired?" Chen Xin's face was tense, unsure of what to say.

"At first, yes, but now, I'm used to it?" Chen Jing waved his hand dismissively.

"Hormones, tissue fluid, neurotransmitters... If you want, I can make your dopamine secretion increase tenfold or a hundredfold instantly." He instead revealed a mysterious look, chuckling seductively.

"Forget it... I guess that's a bad thing." Chen Xin thought about it and felt that it was a bad thing.

"I'm being very restrained about this, trying my best not to bother you." Chen Jing raised an eyebrow and adjusted his clothes to the most comfortable position.

"Therefore, I know very well that joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are just the emotions that the brain thinks you should experience at a certain time. They are the brain's reaction to external stimuli, and they are the illusions it wants to give you, not reality."

"What do you want to say?" Chen Xin suddenly became alert.

"It's nothing." Chen Jing said somewhat listlessly, and instructed the nurse, "Dispose of this garbage. If you have any questions about any step, ask your brain; your memory will tell you the answer."

The young nurse nodded, looking bewildered, and staggered toward the back of the hospital.

Chen Jing watched her retreating figure, smiled contemptuously, and said softly, "So, we are far superior to those novice-level travelers."
