Bai Muchuan finally arrived home.
Because the school is on holiday, he doesn't need to ask for leave from the teacher. If the folding realm above the school cannot be eliminated before the college entrance examination, he will never be able to return to school. The class group had already exploded, so he turned on Do Not Disturb.
After taking a simple bath, Bai Muchuan collapsed on the bed. He was shocked by what happened in the past few days, but unexpectedly, he was calm, calmer than he imagined.
He closed his eyes tiredly and wanted to take a nap. The room where he lived alone was very quiet, but after a while, there was an unrhythmic and sparse "dong-dong" sound, like someone tapping the glass with his knuckles.
From the door? no. Bai Muchuan quickly denied it, locked his ears on the source of the sound, and finally determined that the sound came from outside the window.
He lives on the 23rd floor, and it's not raining now, but there are knocking sounds, and the noise is a bit louder than before.
"Dong, dong dong, dong dong..."
"Dong dong dong dong dong dong! Dong dong dong dong..."
"Crack-!"
The lock inside the window slid open, and a squirming thing squeezed into a paper-thick shape stretched out from the gap under the window and opened the slide lock inside the window.
Bai Muchuan had already taken a kitchen knife from the kitchen. He didn't turn on the light, but his eyes could clearly see the fluid-like thing sticking out.
The flesh-colored thing has no eyes, but there are many small raised bumps on its body, which are its many receptors. Bai Muchuan couldn't tell what this thing looked like. It should make people feel uncomfortable and disgusting, but he... swallowed his saliva.
This is an infection.
Tianyuan: [Take out your key. 】
The infection climbed through the window. It smelled the fragrance of humans and wanted to feast until...the key gradually melted into the center of Bai Muchuan's eyebrows. It hesitated for a moment, and its body covered with sensors froze in place.
Bai Muchuan suddenly felt a wet and cold feeling. It took about five seconds before his body started to become warm.
He is hungry.
- It's a craving for food, and a delicious meal is right before his eyes.
Reason told him that this thing was disgusting, and he might turn into a mindless infection if he was touched, but all the organs in his body were clamoring for food.
Tianyuan's voice is full of temptation: [The door opened by this key allows you to have another personality - "Glutton". He is the nemesis of infectious agents. 】
[Eat it and you can become an E-level spirit walker. Don't you want to have power? The world of spirit walkers has been opened to you! 】
"No." Bai Muchuan's face was distorted. On one side was his main personality, and on the other side was the new "Glutton". Different expressions appeared on his face, "No eating allowed."
【All right. ] Tianyuan said regretfully, [You try to control "Glutton" and let his abilities be used for you. 】
Bai Muchuan suppressed his inner desire to eat and walked towards the infected thing step by step.
The ugly, monstrous infection recoiled. It clung to the window and seemed about to fall.
It's afraid.
The human in front of him was obviously his food, but it gave him a chilling feeling.
Bai Muchuan picked up the kitchen knife with his right hand and cut it, and a piece of rotten flesh was chopped off. He kept his wits about him, and eventually his desire to eat was suppressed. He grabbed the infected object with one hand, pulled it toward the window, and swung the knife wildly with his right hand like chopping meat until the infected object was chopped into pieces.
Tianyuan seemed to be frightened by this crazy posture: [...It is already dead. 】
"I know." Bai Muchuan said, then he calmly shoveled the mess into the toilet and dumped it, and then took a mop from the kitchen to mop the floor clean.
A shining golden door appeared behind him that only he could see. Bai Muchuan could feel that some power seemed to be drained from his body, and then he no longer had the desire to eat these things.
The "Glutty Ghost" left the body and was sealed inside the door.
The first time he used the F-level [God's Key], Bai Muchuan felt like he was being hollowed out. This time it’s [God’s Key·Glutton], what about next time? Is it still him behind the door?
Tianyuan felt extremely regretful: [If the gluttonous ghost had eaten him, you would have become an E-level spirit walker by now. 】
"Don't even think about it." Bai Muchuan refused, "I won't eat such disgusting things."
【Alright alright. 】
[You have now come into contact with a corner of the world of spirit walkers. how do you feel? 】
"I have a few questions." Bai Muchuan has been thinking, "Can a spirit walker only have one ability? How to increase the level of evolutionary ability?"
【Of course not. The ability of a spirit walker comes from one's own "awakening". Some European emperors who are extremely lucky can awaken multiple ones at once, or after awakening one, they awaken another one after a period of time. They are born with L organs. The probability of this happening is extremely low, but it is not impossible. 】
[The second method is transplantation the day after tomorrow. We usually inject inhibitors to reduce rejection and allow multiple L organs in the body to coexist. The sources of L organs that can be used for transplantation in the world are firstly the posthumous agreement signed by spirit walkers voluntarily; secondly, they are plundering and directly stealing other people's L organs. The underground market demand for L organs is huge and supply exceeds demand. 】
"What about evolution? For example, how do I increase my evolution level?"
[First of all, you must understand that the L organ is the source of our abilities. If you want to improve your level, you must increase the activity of the L organ. Different people's L organs are stimulated to increase activity in different ways. "Glutton" relies on eating to improve. Because your current level is only F, it is easy to upgrade to E level. If you rely on gluttons to go from E level to D level, you will have to eat a huge amount of infectious materials, and these infectious materials must be of high quality. 】
[Modern technology has developed a vaccine. Antigens extracted from infected objects stimulate the L organ and increase their chance of level evolution. Or you can increase your chances of evolution by taking some dried meat or drinks made with infectious substances. 】
"I see." Bai Muchuan cleaned the balcony and closed the window. There were no strange sounds this time. "Sequence nine, [Key of God] seems to be very powerful."
[It used to be sequence one, just because ***#%**&'...]
Another bunch of gibberish. Everything Tianyuan said turned into a fuzzy sound of "didi-didi", and then garbled characters scrolled around Bai Muchuan, like a crashed computer.
It wasn't until the three major editions of gibberish almost overwhelmed him that Bai Muchuan heard his last words clearly: [...One is better than twelve. 】
"...Woof, woof, ham sausage?"
【……】
[I can only tell you that you have this ability, which is equivalent to others having 12. 】
Bai Muchuan repeated: "Twelve?"
【yes. 】
In fact, he still has a question, and that is about the glutton. The appearance of "Glutton" gave him an extra personality. Although Glutton seemed to be sealed behind the door and could only be opened with a key, Bai Muchuan always felt that schizophrenia was not a good thing. But if he wants to use this ability, "split" is inevitable, unless he will never use this ability, release the personality behind the door without a key, no longer think about "evolution", and then return to the world of ordinary people.
He now seems to be standing at the junction of two worlds, taking a step back and continuing to be an ordinary person - taking the normal college entrance examination, going to college, maybe studying for a master's degree, and then going out to work and living a normal life as a social animal.
But the world is too boring. Bai Muchuan admitted that he is a little crazy. He wants to be a spirit walker, even if he is only F-level now. Since he chose to embark on this road of no return, he could only accept the existence of "Glutton" and then ensure that he was above other personalities.
He keenly realized one thing: the "twelve" mentioned by Tianyuan meant that he would have 12 keys, and 12 doors would appear behind him, and 12 personalities would be locked inside.
He asked: "You mean, I have 12 more personalities like Greedy Ghost?"
【11. 】Tian Yuan replied, 【The other one is your main personality, which is you now. 】
Bai Muchuan originally thought that he had thought clearly enough, but when he said this, he was a little confused: "That should be equivalent to 11 abilities of others. How can it be 12?"
Tianyuan Shenhe pretended to be dead and stopped answering his questions.
Bai Muchuan didn't expect Tianyuan to be able to answer all the questions. He thought about the details of the past few days, and suddenly discovered that his body structure was different from before-memory. His memory has always been very good, but now this "good" memory can allow him to review all the details in his mind. He only needs to search for the time and scene to locate it.
His personal panel has been updated:
Name: Bai Muchuan
Sex: Male
Age: 18 (one month difference)
Power: [Key of God] ([Key of God·Glutton])
Evolution level: F
Power sequence: 009
Additional abilities (attributes): [Flesh and Flesh Regeneration], [Sixth Sense], [Super Vision], [Memory]
…
It's dawn all night.
Bai Muchuan woke up at six o'clock on time. He turned on the radio news to listen to current political hot topics. Surprisingly, four of the ten morning news items were about spirit walkers and infectious agents, and two of them were about the Folding Realm that appeared above their school.
"The High School Affiliated to the Federal Polytechnic University in District 1 has become a new source of infection. It is initially rated as a Level 3 source of infection. Students from the High School Affiliated to the High School will have trouble with the college entrance examination. The examination center will be transferred to No. 13 Middle School..."
"Currently, the federal government has sent people to deal with and control it, but there are still very few infectious agents that have escaped. Residents in the first district are asked to pay attention to personal safety, try to avoid dark and uninhabited places, close doors and windows at night, and do not open the door easily..."
"...But everyone does not need to panic and worry too much. I believe that the source of infection in the Affiliated High School will be solved soon. The team of spirit walkers sent by us has entered the Folding Realm at one o'clock this morning..."
"The following is some basic information detected in the Affiliated Folding Realm: scope of infection source: established (non-spread type); main type of infectious agent: alien... and other unknown indicators."
