Xu Xinyuan originally thought that only those with supernatural powers like Liu Shu who gained power and released their inner darkness would become shameless thugs. Ordinary people like Zhang Ping and Hu Jin were still very kind in nature. Yesterday, she and them When they met, they still behaved very much like innocent college students. Unexpectedly, just one day later, Zhang Ping brought people over to commit criminal atrocities. He knew people but didn't know their hearts. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ping also had the same plot as Liu Shu in his heart. own body.
Xu Xinyuan took out a fruit knife from the table. It was the fruit knife that Zhou Quan handed to her and let her practice her knife-wielding skills all night. She thought of what Zhou Quan said to her last night: "This knife is not What you use to kill zombies is for you to kill people! Don’t be surprised. You will avoid zombies and stay away from people with superpowers, but when you encounter survivors of the same age as you, will you still remain vigilant? How do you know that the other person has no intentions or thoughts about you? Now the law and the police can no longer protect you, and I can't protect you all the time. The only one who can protect you is yourself. With your beauty, you will definitely meet many people like you in the future. As an ugly person like Liu Shu, although I don’t encourage you to take the initiative to kill people, I need you to use this knife to end his life before you are harmed. The sooner you use the knife, the better it will be for you."
Xu Xiyuan thought Zhou Quan was a bit extreme last night, but now that she thinks about it, she was too naive and optimistic.
She pulled out the fruit knife and looked at the cold light above, her eyes gradually becoming firm.
Zhang Ping, I hope my guess is wrong, otherwise, I will use you as the tester of this fruit knife...
Zhou Quan looked at the strange black ball in front of him in shock. After reading the information about the black ball given in the Book of Revelation, he felt that he was about to make a choice that would affect his future life!
Judging from the opponent's skills, [Black Liquid] is undoubtedly a very powerful, even perfect auxiliary. It provides indestructible defense, increases strength and speed beyond human beings, and can also obtain powerful weapons. Only careful use of it can After fusion, Zhouquan is no longer an ordinary fragile human being, but a murderous creature with terrifying combat power, truly becoming a combat-type superpower! But at what cost? Zhou Quan calmed down and began to quietly think and analyze the disadvantages of fusing [Black Liquid].
The first is "consciousness backlash". [Black Liquid] will develop self-awareness and thinking ability after being promoted to gold level, and will continue to improve and mature in the later stages, becoming an independent intelligent life entity. However, due to its "symbiosis" characteristics , [Black Liquid] cannot survive alone without the host. Therefore, there is a high probability that [Black Liquid] will backfire on the host's consciousness, occupy the host's physical body, and eventually replace the host himself. This would be a very scary difficulty for other intelligent beings, but it is not a big problem for Zhou Quan, because he is a summoner, and a summoner is a very rare and special profession among people with powers. The abilities and combat power of superpowers come from themselves. The stronger they are, the stronger their abilities will be. But summoners are different. Their abilities and combat power come from the summoned objects. Their physical fitness is no different from ordinary people. At most, their mental power and willpower will be enhanced. Therefore, even if the summoner reaches the legendary level or above, his physical body They may still be ordinary people, but after the summoning mages who also belong to the summoning system are promoted to the monarch level and legendary level, their physical quality will far exceed that of ordinary people. Even hybrid auxiliary superpowers are promoted to high realms, and their physical The quality indicators will also increase significantly. Only the summoner has maintained a normal body.
It seems that this is very unfair to the summoner.
But summoners have a skill that all superpowers cannot envy. It is this skill that allows some outstanding summoners to greatly surpass other superpowers and become the top of the pyramid. This skill is the influence of summons on summoners. [Absolute loyalty and obedience], this kind of loyalty and obedience is neither subject to the rules of the summoning contract, nor is it controlled by the summoner's mental power, nor is it controlled by a puppet. Rather, the moment the summoned object accepts the summoner's call, its subjective consciousness, inner world, and soul will be firmly imprinted with the summoner's mark. The summoned object will retain its own consciousness and wisdom, memory, and past thoughts. The obsession has not been tampered with, and even the personality and preferences will not change in any way. However, such a summoned creature with independent personality and ability to deal with things will protect the summoner with all his heart and resolutely obey any orders of the summoner. Even if it means suicide! Not only that, their inner thoughts, obsessions, and goals will be dominated by the summoner's wishes. Even if the summoner does not give them any explicit orders, the summoned objects will consider the summoner in their daily actions. Help him realize his wishes and goals without knowing it! Moreover, the summoned object will regard the summoner as its most important, precious and amiable person in its heart. This emotion is like the warm affection between parents and children, like the strong friendship between brothers and friends, like It is the love between husband and wife that lasts forever.
Just imagine, this kind of subordinate who will never betray oneself, always obey oneself, and always thinks of oneself is the pearl that many people in power dream of? A person in a high position will have his subordinates either as dead men who are loyal but not wise, or as ambitious careerists who are wise and capable but not loyal, or as normal people who are wise and loyal but not many. , in order to maintain the loyalty and value of their subordinates, countless rulers have invented various political tactics and methods of controlling people, but even so, many rulers will die at the hands of their own henchmen. The subordinates captured by coercion and inducement will rebel one day, and the subordinates obtained by force through hypnosis and mind control are nothing more than temporarily ignorant puppets. In the end, it still needs to be executed by the manipulator himself, which is laborious and time-consuming, and unpredictable, or for anyone. For intelligent life, it is the same.
But only the summoner's subordinates can always be loyal and loving to the summoner while retaining their wisdom and self-awareness. [Absolute loyalty and obedience] is the summoner's unique skill. This is also the reason why Zhou Quan is not afraid of [Black Liquid] backfire on him, because [Black Liquid] is a summoned object summoned by himself, not something Zhou Quan accidentally obtained somewhere. [Black Liquid] is just his loyal servant, even if it later After awakening its own consciousness and wisdom, it will only bow to itself.
Since the backlash consciousness does not exist, there is only the last disadvantage of merging black liquid - "forever changing the racial body". In other words, once Zhou Quan fuses [black liquid], his identity and body will be permanently changed. , he will no longer be a human, but a [Black Liquid Creature], and there is no way to change back. Even, since [Black Liquid Disguise] is a black iron level skill, unless [Black Liquid] is promoted to a black iron level , otherwise Zhouquan would continue to live in the appearance of [Dark Iron Creature].
"It's really an option that you can't have your cake and eat it too..." Zhou Quan couldn't help but sigh. Once he merges with [Black Liquid], he will become a monster in the true sense. Body transformation is not limited to the body. A certain part of the organization, but most of it, and even your own human senses will be modified and transformed into functions different from what humans are used to. For example, the modified taste will make you feel that blood and raw meat are delicious, but On the contrary, I am repelled by cakes and sweets. Zhou Quan has been a human being for twenty years and is accustomed to human preferences and feelings. Suddenly he transforms into another species and feels completely different from what he felt as a human being. Will Zhou Quan regret it at that time?
regret? Zhou Quan suddenly remembered that he liked to eat grilled lamb skewers outside the school when he was a freshman. He remembered that the barbecue master was very skilled and could perfectly combine cumin, chili salt and the aroma of grilled lamb. The grilled lamb skewers were rich in flavor. I would buy a few skewers every time I passed by. If I became a black liquid creature, would I still have a human's sense of taste for delicious food? Can you still taste the unique cumin aroma when eating kebabs? Never again, I'm afraid.
But, is the barbecue master still there now? He may be dead, he may have become a zombie, he may still be alive in a corner, but no matter what, he can no longer go back to set up a barbecue stall with peace of mind, because the end is coming, and stability has become a luxury. If you don’t even have the chance and ability to survive, then delicious food is just an illusory bubble to you!
Only by becoming stronger can you survive and try other delicacies.
If there is no skewer master grilling the meat, grill it yourself.
If you can no longer taste the flavor of cumin and chili pepper, then use the blood and fear of your enemies as your seasoning!
As long as you are strong enough to live safely, the loss is nothing!
If you want power, you must give up something permanently, even if this thing is everything you own!
Thinking of this, Zhou Quan's eyes were full of determination and determination. If the human body is too fragile and small in this apocalyptic world, then he will abandon his human identity and evolve into a stronger existence! If you don’t want to be a human being, then be a god!
Zhou Quan took a deep breath, opened his hands to touch the black ball, and at the moment of contact, the black ball quickly turned into a pool of sticky and weird semi-liquid black liquid, squirming and turning into a black net as if it was alive. The cloth wrapped Zhou Quan's entire body in it. After it was completely wrapped, the surface of the black liquid gradually solidified and hardened, forming a large black cocoon. After that, the black cocoon stopped changing, just like a huge boulder that had existed for an unknown period of time. Standing quietly on the ground, without any sign of life...
