In an old and spacious warehouse.
The windows on the four walls were nailed with wooden boards and steel plates, and ventilation holes were cut out one after another on the wall near the roof.
There are many butchering tools on the warehouse floor.
There are instrument tool tables, dissecting tables, meat grinders, and hooks.
In addition, there are six containers placed around.
But the most eye-catching thing is not these dazzling array of bloody tools, but the large dried blood stains that can be seen everywhere on the ground.
These blood stains obviously came from slaughtered animals.
certainly.
Humans are animals too.
"Plop."
There was a sudden sound of heavy objects hitting the ground in the warehouse.
Through the faint and dim light of the wall lamp, one could vaguely see a man lying motionless on the ground.
There was a deep depression in the man's back, and he looked like he was going to die.
But suddenly, the man's corpse turned into scattered swamp, flying into the darkness.
After a while, a dark man walked out of the darkness and came to the place illuminated by the light of the wall lamp.
Chichi——
With an inaudible soft sound, the pitch-black figure gradually faded away like a muddy thing, slowly revealing Moyu's appearance.
And the dark thing that faded from Moyu's body turned back into a shadow silently.
"As expected."
Moyu looked down at his hands.
After the shadow clone absorbed a large amount of swamp mud, its body strength increased dramatically.
This has been verified by Hisoka.
However, this "strength increase" only belongs to the shadow copy and cannot be fed back to Moyu as the original body.
In other words, as long as you continue to absorb the sludge...
The physical strength of the shadow clone will become stronger and stronger in a short period of time, while Moyu's physical strength can only stand still in a short period of time.
Moyu is not an enhancement type, but he is also very envious of the intensity-increasing efficiency of the shadow clone.
So he came up with the idea of attaching the mimetic shadow directly to himself to gain strength in disguise.
However, the test results were unsatisfactory.
the reason is.
Although the mimicry ability that Soul Echo currently displays seems to have the possibility of "imitating everything", it can only be maximized when it mimics human form.
in short.
Its power, speed, intensity...
It can only be perfectly embodied in the form of a shadow clone.
At least that's the case for now.
Whether this can be changed in the future through the improvement of "Fa" and the effects of "Constraint and Oath" is still unknown.
This idea of directly putting the shadow clone on his body and becoming Iron Man came to nothing. Moyu didn't think it was anything, at most it was a pity.
After all, he is a special ability user, and because of the "soul echo" characteristic, he prefers to let the shadow copy take on the main attack task in battle.
This is a style based on the operation system and the materialization system, and it is also the correct way to use shadow copies.
Therefore, it is a natural phenomenon that the strength of the shadow copy is greater than the strength of the main body.
certainly.
If conditions permit, it is naturally the best if the body can be as strong as the shadow.
"There are quite a few swamp people in this area."
Moyu glanced at the various slaughtering tools in the warehouse.
The prisoners who escaped from the Fox River probably never dreamed that they would become so valuable one day.
They would never have imagined that they would be captured by local gangsters like wild beasts and then slaughtered in a place like this.
The useful organs are sold in the underground world, the useless bodies are thrown into the meat grinder to be made into feed, and the last heads are used to cash in the bounties.
The gangsters' approach to this group of crazy prisoners can be said to be making the best use of everything.
But thanks to the ruthless tactics of these gangsters, Moyu was able to find more than 20 prisoners waiting to be slaughtered in the container at once, saving the time of searching.
I just don't know if any of the prisoner Swamperts had been dealt with by the local gang before he came here.
If anything, it's quite a waste.
"After one trip, a total of 101 were absorbed, which is a pretty good harvest."
This is the final result of Moyo's wandering around the Roland neighborhood.
But there was still one place he hadn't gone to yet.
According to the intelligence bought, that place was a black boxing ring specially used for business openings, where big shots and wealthy people from all over Los Santos gathered.
This is the last location of tonight’s trip and one Moyu won’t miss.
When he was about to leave, Moyu suddenly thought of the surprise box he just got from Guangan and couldn't help but stop.
As his thoughts moved slightly, a ball of telekinesis appeared on his right palm.
Immediately afterwards, the telekinesis ball turned into a square red box and appeared in Moyu's hand.
The box is about the same size as a basketball, with a clown on one side and a black and bold question mark on the other five sides.
Moyu held the box with one hand, very lightly, and it felt like an empty box to him.
"Is it the most needed item right now..."
Moyu looked at the surprise box.
Strictly speaking, this kind of telepathy object with special abilities is enough to be classified as a telepathy tool.
Too bad it's a disposable item.
But think about it, with the mechanism of the surprise box, if there is no limit on the number of times it can be used, the 50% probability is meaningless.
Moreover, in the face of the effect of the ability to draw various items out of thin air, the constraint of consuming 50% of the potential energy is so low that it can be ignored.
"The items that were opened are items, which means that the opportunity to eliminate thoughts is not within the range."
Moyu looked through the surprise box. If it is not opened, it will be no different from an ordinary box.
After playing with it for a while, Moyu removed his telekinesis, and the surprise box suddenly turned into a ball of white light and disappeared.
I have already received one opportunity to eliminate thoughts. As long as I can get another opportunity, I can consider solving the matter of the thoughts space.
To be on the safe side, Moyu felt that at least three chances would be needed to eliminate the thought.
Once for the mind space, and twice for the terrifying aura of the scales.
However, considering that there are also mind-killing masters invited by the association, maybe two chances to clear the mind are enough.
Because Moyu can completely let those mind-eliminating masters deal with the mind space. In this way, he only needs to free up two mind-eliminating opportunities to deal with Libra.
The problem is how to convince those mind-killing masters to take action.
"Don't think about it so much for now..."
Moyu shook his head slightly.
The rewards given by perception are too random.
I don’t know when I will get the second opportunity to remove thoughts.
The only thing that is certain is that as long as you interact with characters such as Hisoka Yin Ermi who have a "high appearance rate" or "high popularity" in the original work, the possibility of getting high-level rewards will be higher.
Without staying too long, Moyu left this warehouse, which was no different from a slaughterhouse, and went straight to the black boxing ring.
Soon, Moyu arrived at his destination.
The so-called black boxing stadium is actually a large abandoned building.
Looking from a distance, tall buildings with only shells standing in the night.
In the center of each abandoned high-rise building, there is a high-rise building with bright lights.
With this high-rise building as the center point, the surrounding open space was filled with various luxury cars, as well as many big men in black suits standing guard.
Moyu hid in the darkness, silently observing the building in the center.
Even though they were some distance away, they could actually hear the noise coming from that building.
Moyu could almost imagine the scene inside:
There are two strong men fighting in the ring to the death.
The ring was surrounded by a group of upper-class elites in suits and formal wear, as well as gang bosses who had a strong presence in Los Santos.
They would shout all kinds of vulgar words into the ring regardless of their image, and their foreheads and eyes would become bloodshot due to excessive excitement, making them look like evil spirits returning from hell.
This is the picture that comes to Moyu's mind.
"Let's sneak in and take a look."
Moyu stopped for a moment and summoned a shadow to form a swamp-like lake on his body.
In just a moment, Moyu turned into a dark man with only his eyes exposed.
After making these preparations, Moyu quietly walked toward the brightly lit tall building.
Judging from the large number of defense forces near the high-rise building, the organizers obviously attach great importance to security issues, which is enough to illustrate the scale and weight of this event.
When he came to the area near the high-rise building, Moyu did not act rashly. He first observed for a while and found a place with the weakest defense. Then he started to take action and sneaked into the building smoothly.
After entering the building, Moyu discovered that there was something special inside.
A large number of crystal tiles are laid on the floor of the corridor, and a red carpet covering the floor of the crystal tiles is extremely eye-catching.
On the walls, on the ceiling.
Various Western-style lamps emit bright light, filling every corner you can see.
Looking from the outside, the outer walls of the high-rise buildings are clearly made up of red brick walls, without even cement.
Moreover, the floors above the fifth floor have air leakage from all sides, just like other unfinished buildings around, with only one outer shell.
But the interior decoration of the building is as luxurious as the big casino in Los Santos.
Moyu avoided the eye-catching red carpet corridor and walked around for a while before finding a corridor leading to the ring.
Arriving at a double door with handles inlaid on it, Moyu slowly opened the door.
As the double doors slowly revealed the gap, one after another sound waves passed through the cracks and reached Moyu's ears.
Moyu didn't pay attention to the deafening noise, and walked sideways through the slightly open double door gap.
The double doors closed, and Moyu stood in front of the door, looking forward.
The floors above this room were completely penetrated and transformed directly into a style similar to the Roman Colosseum.
In the center is a wide circular arena.
There are dozens of transparent glass cabinets placed in the open space around the ring, and a strong man is imprisoned in each cabinet.
Outside the open space is a circular, wrap-around auditorium that goes from low to high.
With the direct beam of light coming from above the ring, I could barely see clearly that the audience stage was full of people.
Moyu glanced around the environment and felt that this place looked familiar.
He thought for a while and then thought of the 1V1 arena event in the Sky Arena.
That place is very similar to this place. It is possible that the organizers made reference to the ring style of the Sky Arena before renovating this place.
"The lighting in the auditorium is very dark, but if you walk around casually, people will probably notice you."
Moyu was hidden in the darkness. He glanced around the dark auditorium and then looked at the more than 80 glass cabinets around the ring and the two strong men fighting on the ring.
This place is too big.
With the range of Moyo's ability to sense the aura of the marsh people, if he wanted to accurately find the marsh people among the hundreds or thousands of spectators, he would have to move around.
That kind of action is so eye-catching.
Moreover, the glass cabinets placed around the ring were at least a hundred meters away from the first row of auditoriums.
So even if you touch the first row of the auditorium, you can't confirm it.
suddenly.
Moyu was attracted by the narrator's voice.
The commentator's passionate voice was amplified through the loudspeaker, drowning out the sound of the entire audience, and echoed over the ring.
From the explanation content, Moyu heard the words "Fox River No. 5" and "Fox River No. 11", and his heart was slightly shocked.
Fox river and number?
In other words, the two men fighting in the ring were most likely prisoners who escaped from Fox River Prison.
The organizers caught these prisoners, put them on a life-and-death ring that could please distinguished guests from all sides, and compiled easy-to-remember numbers for them.
"Are those people in the closet...also prisoners of Fox River?"
Moyu turned his eyes and looked at the transparent glass cabinets around the ring again.
The men imprisoned there have two things in common.
One has a short head, and the other is tall and strong.
This couldn't help but remind Moyu of the group of swamp people he found in the "Slaughterhouse" just now. They all had short hair, but there was basically no tall and strong person in sight.
Could it be that the organizer of this place mobilized a lot of manpower to hunt down the prisoners who escaped from Fox River Prison?
Judging from the general environment of Los Santos, this possibility is not impossible.
Because gang members are hunting down prisoners, they are expected to be more active than the Los Santos police force.
so……
The organizers here caught many Fox River prisoners, and then the tall and strong Fox River prisoners were directly sent to the arena of life and death?
And those Fox River prisoners with ordinary bodies can only be sent to the slaughterhouse to be directly broken down into money?
If the speculation is true, then this method of making money is simply treating the Fox River prisoners as a cash cow.
However, the real inducement can only be the sexy operation of the Dana region officials.
"There are people in 81 lockers, plus the two in the ring, there are 83..."
"If they are all swamp people, after absorbing this wave, the strength of the shadow clones may be increased by another level."
"No matter what, just let the shadow clone try it."
Moyu stared at the transparent glass cabinets around the ring and made a decision quickly.
He turned around and left here, found a hidden place, and immediately created a shadow copy.
Instead of directly controlling the actions of the shadow copy, he slowly closed his eyes and sketched out the image of Hisoka in his mind.
It is no longer the two-dimensional image seen in the original work, but the realistic image that I saw with my own eyes after meeting Hisoka tonight.
After a while.
Color slowly emerges from the dark shadow replica, and at the same time, the outline and volume of the body also undergo noticeable changes.
This visible change lasted for about twenty seconds.
The shadow copy turned into Hisoka's appearance.
It is no longer Picasso Sisso, but the evolved Sisso Benso, with only a few places on his face swollen.
"Well……"
Moyu rubbed his forehead gently.
Because I couldn't get the image of Hisoka's pig-headed face out of my mind tonight, even though I could recreate Hisoka's dress and hairstyle tonight during the mimicry, I had no choice but to add bumps on Hisoka's face. set up……
"Forget it, it's just a little flaw."
Moyu raised his hand and patted Xisu Bensuo on the shoulder.
"The decision is yours, Hisoka Benso."
The words fell.
Sisu Bensuo walked towards the ring.
