Not long after, the truck stopped at the body collector's building at No. 117 Dongcheng Road.
Captain Dong Jiu and the other two veteran team members went straight back to their rooms to sleep. It was the job of the two newcomers, Ji Xun and Ji Bu, to carry the bodies to the morgue.
They also take it for granted.
The two brought a cart, one person piled eight body bags on the cart, and then took the elevator down to the third underground floor.
Except for transporting corpses, no one would come to this unlucky place on weekdays.
The body was put into the lead iron box and Gibb left.
Ji found an excuse to stay.
Hearing the old elevator creaking up the stairs, he glanced at the empty corridor again, and then pulled out one of the iron boxes.
After opening the body bag, Ji Xun found the [Secret Psychic Medium] from the belly of the corpse with a calm expression.
He knew that Chi Ze would change, so he didn't waste any time. He directly crossed his legs on the ground and started to devour it using the secret technique of feasting.
Ji Xun had just tried it briefly in the tailor street cellar before, but now Ji Xun was like a whale, devouring the dark extraordinary properties in the material without any worries.
This was the first time he had swallowed such pure extraordinary characteristics. As soon as he swallowed it, the flesh, bones, and internal organs all over his body began to faintly emit a burst of heat energy.
Ji Xun is already familiar with this feeling, it is a sign of flesh and blood growth!
But right now this feeling is stronger than ever.
In the past, devouring extraordinary properties from a corpse was like squeezing water drops from the wet sand by the river and getting it bit by bit; but now it was like drinking directly into the river, gulping it down in big gulps.
The body gradually changed from burning to boiling, and there was unbearable pain.
But now is not the time to rest.
Ji Xun was always paying attention to the data on the panel. As long as it was not fatal, he did not stop and continued to devour it.
He knew very well that he could never keep this thing.
The nights are long and there are many dreams, and now we must race against time to digest them.
As time went by, the size of the amber psychic became smaller and smaller.
...
I don't know if it was luck, but after returning from Tailor Street, their fifth team has not been on a mission again.
This also gave Ji Xun enough time to devour the [Secret Cause Medium].
From the afternoon to the next morning, he stayed in the morgue for more than ten hours.
The long night suddenly dawned. Ji Xun, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes.
I looked at my pocket watch, it read a quarter past seven in the morning.
Ji Xun looked at the psychic medium who had completely disappeared in his hand, and exhaled a long breath: "Finally, the devouring is complete."
The physical evidence has been eliminated, and the biggest hidden danger is gone.
But when he looked again, his attributes had changed drastically.
"Ji Xun"
Strength: 3.15
Physique: 3.55
Agility: 2.78
Toughness: 2.56
Spirit: 5.97
Mantra: 114/115
...
As Ji Xun predicted, after devouring the piece of psychic medium, his physical attributes basically exceeded 3.
He looked at his forearm, clenched his fist hard, and the knotted muscles under the skin bulged.
This feeling of being filled with power throughout all the limbs and veins is great!
"So strong."
On a whim, Ji Xun lay on the ground and did more than ten push-ups at once, as easily as breathing.
The strength of his arms allows him to easily support his body, and his muscles are as strong as springs. The body swelled in a circle, but it didn't feel clumsy. Instead, the real person felt lighter.
He tried to use the absolute strength of his arms to support his balance, and did a few push-ups while standing on his head.
He still felt relaxed.
The hands were changed to one hand, then to five fingers, and finally to three-finger handstand, still stable!
The threefold increase in strength allowed him to easily perform strength training movements that were impossible to complete before.
I tried the strength of my lower limbs again and took off vertically. Because I was not familiar with the soaring jumping power, I hit the ceiling head first.
There was a muffled sound of "dong".
Ji Xun's head was buzzing, but his face was full of energy.
After visual inspection, he just took off vertically and easily exceeded about 1.5 meters. This is a height that no professional basketball player in the previous life could reach.
"This is the extraordinary one!"
Ji Xun enjoyed this feeling of bursting with power, finally mastering this physical ability that exceeded the limits of the ordinary human body.
Before, when I devoured corpses, I grew little by little, but it felt so amazing to grow taller and taller like this.
It’s not just strength gains.
That [Secret Cause Medium] is evil material, and the dark factors it contains are also very exaggerated.
The darkness affinity value has directly changed from "12" yesterday to "27".
In other words, he can now use the [Shadow Sneak] skill at any time even without wearing a mask.
In addition, the mental power has also increased by more than 1 point. This is the first time that Devil's Feast is used, and the extraordinary characteristics are directly devoured and the mental power increases.
And the mantra value also became 115.
According to the description in the breathing law book, if the mantra value exceeds 100, does he have a level of mantra power?
In other words, he is now a "card master apprentice".
Although he is still in the most elementary stage, you must know that he has only been learning the breathing method for four days!
If this were to be done in normal cultivation, it would be impossible within a few months.
Ji Xun looked at the huge changes in his body and thought in his heart: "If there were a few more pieces of [Secret Cause Medium], how much would it be strengthened?"
If we really had to absorb the extraordinary properties from the corpse, it would take months or even years to reach the current level.
But just think about it.
There is no need to think about the dark secrets involved in this thing, and getting a piece of it is already taking a big risk.
Even if there was another chance to encounter a mission like yesterday, Ji Xun would not dare to take the second piece easily.
Once you can rely on various conditions to cover it up, but the second time you are seeking death.
Now that the "physical evidence" is gone, Ji Xun no longer has to stay in the morgue.
He took out disinfectant in the corner and started cleaning.
The smell of disinfectant water is very pungent, which can detect most of the olfactory perception. Moreover, this is also the normal cleaning procedure for corpse collectors. It is done almost every day and will not make people suspicious.
The reason why he didn't run around and stayed in the morgue last night was because he learned from the experience on the train last time.
The stench in the cellar of Tailor Street is difficult to get rid of, including the smell of the psychic. I am afraid that the olfactory card spell master will follow the smell and find it.
If Jixun takes the psychic to other places, it is likely that people will detect abnormalities.
And if you stay in the morgue, even if someone comes smelling the smell, the dozens of corpses found in the cellar in the morgue can mislead and cover up the smell of the psychic.
After finishing everything, Ji Xun got up and left the morgue.
Today was a day off and he had other things to do.
That is to take free courses from Hunter Guild card makers.
...
After walking out of the branch building, Ji Xun looked at the time, it was eight o'clock sharp.
A large number of factories in the city spewed exhaust gas day and night, and the air was filled with a lingering smell of coal ash all year round. Ji Xun walked on the street wearing a gas mask.
In the early morning, Innocence City was still a busy scene, and workers from the night shift also poured into the streets in large numbers.
Because it is an underground city, there is no sun.
The difference between night and day is that during the day, the lights on the towers in the city blocks are much brighter and there are many more pedestrians.
Innocence City is very large, and the city area is estimated to be at least hundreds of square kilometers.
Fortunately there are intricate tracks and intercity steam trains.
Ji Xun took the train across half of the city, from Dongcheng to Gro Street in Nancheng District.
There is a very conspicuous yellow-painted building on this block. It is the tallest building in the neighborhood. The towering spire has always been hidden in the darkness, making it majestic.
There is a huge bow and ax badge hanging on the wall. This is the headquarters building of the Hunters Guild at No. 1 Grot Street.
The Hunter Guild is a centralized place for hunters to publish recruitment, obtain tasks, buy and sell information, and conduct transactions.
So there are a lot of people at all times.
The streets were filled with hunters carrying various firearms, blades, and steam machinery equipment.
Ji Xun walked towards the main building, and within two steps of walking out of the tram station, he climbed onto the covered bridge. When he looked down, he saw mist rising dozens of meters high.
This is the architectural feature of the Innocence City.
The entire city is built on the mountains, complex and three-dimensional. We are now on the first floor facing the street where we just got off the bus, but after walking through the covered bridge, we find that we are on the 20th floor from the first floor.
The fog and shadows are lingering, like a dream.
The buildings under the lights are bustling with activity, and there are countless dark secrets hidden in the darkness.
The streets are lined with various stalls, this is Hunter Place Market.
It was like an antique market in a previous life, with all kinds of strange items on the stalls.
"Come and see, the elemental demon mark just produced by Watch Fortress only costs 250,000."
"The aberration materials produced in the Devil's Cross ruins are common materials for assassins and nannies. The larger the quantity, the better..."
"The Hidden Soul Wood produced in the Western Plague Forest is the best undead material. Come and take a look..."
"The rare mithril ore produced in the Eagle's Nest Mine is the best material for forging alloy machinery. The finished Hailuo K-3 mechanical arm is also sold, and the standard equipment of the Shangcheng Army..."
"..."
Most of what is sold at the stalls are various cards and extraordinary materials obtained by hunters from exploring caves.
There are also some stone carvings engraved with ancient texts, broken books, scrolls and so on.
The dazzling array of items frequently attracted Ji Xun's attention.
These are treasures produced by major ruins.
When hunters come back from visiting caves and have free time, many of them will come here to set up stalls. Because the price will be much higher than buying directly from a black-hearted middleman.
In addition to street stalls, there are also shops facing the street.
Ji Xun had been here once before and bought the book [Great Darkness Breathing Method].
It was almost nine o'clock, so instead of wandering around the city, he went directly into the Hunter's Guild Hall.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the thousands-square-meter hall was packed with people, and in the most conspicuous position of the hall, there were several huge magic light screens.
There is a lot of recruiting information on the screen.
"'Grand Cemetery Maze' recruits teammates, explores C-level difficulty, and finds undead materials. Priority will be given to dark priests and those who are good at solving puzzles..."
"'Twin Tower Fortress' opens up wasteland and recruits a marksman and a heavily armored black knight..."
"'Plague Mine' is used to farm mysterious materials. We will set off in three days, with Old Gun Luo leading the team and bringing in some healing professions..."
"..."
Hunters will publish task bounties in the union, and at the same time, large and small hunter teams can also recruit and find a suitable team to set off together.
Ji Xun came in for the first time, and it looked quite magical.
It turns out that in addition to the [407 Abnormal Creature Shelter] that I encountered before, there are many various extra-dimensional spaces in this world.
He glanced at it a few times and then walked to the elevator nearby.
The elevator goes down to the third floor, where there is also a huge staircase conference room.
Free courses on spell card knowledge are very popular. When Ji Xun came, there were already hundreds of people sitting here.
However, since it was about basic card knowledge, most of the people who came to listen were young hunters and half-grown children, and the atmosphere was lively.
Ji Xun looked around and sat down in an inconspicuous corner.
