The night outside the window is like paint, and the stars are like diamonds inlaid on the dark blue sky.
It's now half past ten in the evening.
Homework and other things have been finished long ago, and my parents have also fallen into a deep sleep.
Xia Youyuanluo has been spending one to two hours meditating recently at night, trying to figure out what his abilities are.
The chameleon 'monster' he encountered that day was not common - the world in Xia Youyuanluo's eyes had changed since that day.
If what he saw before was light floating on the surface, now it was reality mixed with shadows.
Monsters, big or small, hide in the crowd, and some even pull on people. The unlucky guy who was entangled didn't know that he was being "ghosted". He only felt discomfort in the area where he was entangled. When he went to the hospital for a checkup, there was no problem. In the end, he could only blame it on maybe not getting enough rest.
After all, modern society focuses on fast food. People are like worker ants, busy and busy every day. It is normal to not get enough rest, and no one will realize that there is anything wrong. What's more, this is the world of science now. What gods and ghosts are there? Isn't that a setting that only exists in novels/anime/manga?
How could it be possible in reality?
Xia You Yuanluo tried to attack some monsters that looked weak, but the result was... they were indeed weak.
It is a completely different 'breed' than the chameleon monster we first encountered.
From this Xia Youyuanluo came to the conclusion:
Just like animals in nature, the weaker the animals, the more fertile they are and rely on numbers to win. More powerful animals have lower fertility rates and are rarely seen.
——Just like the little monsters that can be seen everywhere on the street and the big monster that I haven’t seen again since I met him that day.
Anyway, Xia Youyuanluo has seen many little monsters in these days, but he has not seen any big monsters like chameleons.
So their reproduction method also relies on male and female mating?
Xia Youyuanluo was curious about this. He was like a child who had a desire to explore strange things. He even had the idea of catching two monsters, one male and one female.
And he did.
However, in the end, he really didn't know how to distinguish the gender of the monster, so he had to give up with regret.
Xia Youyuanluo's hands-on ability is very strong and he does what he says.
Xia Youjie felt this deeply.
When Xia Youyuanluo was a child, he was curious about whether dragonflies could swim in the water, so he grabbed a dragonfly and threw it into the pond to observe.
After Xia Youjie saw it, he quickly fished the almost drowned dragonfly ashore and educated Xia Youyuanluo.
"...In short, being curious is not a bad thing, but it cannot have an impact on others and must be based on safety. Do you understand, Yuanluo?"
Xia Youyuanluo has the innocent cruelty of a child. And this cruelty gradually disappears with age... No, it does not disappear, but it is hidden.
Look, like now. Just because he was curious about how monsters reproduce, Xia Youyuanluo was able to capture two monsters for experiments. Although it was ultimately not possible due to force majeure.
Xia Youyuanluo also bought a utility knife and cut off the hands and feet of a small monster with wings to observe the monster's self-healing ability.
Although monsters are indeed a race that can harm humans.
But can a normal person who has never seen blood or killed a chicken since he was a child really be able to brutally cut up living creatures with an expressionless face after developing his three senses?
impossible.
Let alone cutting up live animals, I'm afraid I wouldn't even dare to kill fish.
All meats are cut up and put on the stalls for sale.
Some people can't even accept offal, or beef and mutton.
This is a phenomenon that can only occur in a peaceful society, and it is generally good, because peace accepts cowardice and does not accept "thorns in the head."
After cutting up several little monsters, Xia Youyuanluo came to another conclusion.
Ordinary utensils cannot kill them.
Even if it is minced and sliced into thin slices. They are still alive and will grow the missing parts bit by bit.
So, which part of the body occupies the main body?
So Xia Youyuanluo started experiments on new topics.
Xia Youyuanluo has been spending several days in the school's laboratory for this purpose.
After all, you can't take it home, what if something happens and hurts your parents?
Another point is that the school has professional facilities.
Xia Youyuanluo rubbed his fingertips and thought about it. He felt that he could control these weak monsters. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose to conduct the experiment in the school.
Of course, not everyone can use the school's laboratory. Even the chemistry teacher has to report to the school if he wants to lead students to do experiments.
It can only be said that Xia Youyuanluo was deeply loved by the school. He asked for a laboratory and gave him the key without saying a word.
However, it is not completely without regulations. For example, Xia Youyuanluo can only use it after school every day and before 7:30 pm without delaying the teacher's teaching.
Also clean up after use.
These are not problems, Xia Youyuanluo agreed simply.
"If you find anything, you can discuss it with the teacher." The principal said with a smile.
Ah, yes. In order to borrow the laboratory, Xia Youyuanluo made a random excuse and raised the banner of researching new substances.
Of course most people wouldn't believe the principal when they said this, but it was Xia Youyuanluo who said this.
Xia Youyuanluo first expressed his gratitude to the school leaders for trusting him, and then left with the key in hand with satisfaction.
He was simply following universal rules.
After several days of experiments, Xia Youyuanluo got the answer he wanted.
The subject seems to be random, not fixed on which piece it is.
Sometimes it's the feet, sometimes it's the head, sometimes it's the internal organs... it could be any part.
After cleaning up the body parts of the dead monster, Xia Youyuanluo thought about the little monster that he had tortured and screamed in fear when he saw it, and bought a birdcage to lock it up.
He knew that these monsters had the ability to break through the shackles of the cage and escape, so he tried to threaten: "You can't run out without permission, otherwise..."
Little monsters: frightened, desperate, trembling, and collapsed.
Xia Youyuanluo narrowed his eyes, "I'll cut you into sashimi and feed it to your kind."
The little monsters, who were supposed to reject their own kind by habit, hugged each other abnormally, with tears of fear flowing from their eyes.
Xia Youyuanluo stretched out his fingers to feel the feeling of the monster's tears. While reaching out, he said curiously: "So you can cry too."
"嘤嘤嘤!!!" The monsters leaned back desperately, trying to stay away from Xia Youyuanluo's extended fingers.
In their eyes, Xia Youyuanluo is a devil and a devil.
These days they have been tortured to the point where they have developed a conditioned reflex - fear of this terrible human being.
Monsters also feel pain. Although they are stupid, they act on instinct like animals and are murderous and bloodthirsty. But in general, he is also a member of the big family of animals.
They will be afraid of strong people, and they will be afraid of existences that constantly bring harm to them.
The seemingly harmless and beautiful human boy in front of them has left a deep imprint on their minds.
So scary, so scary, so scary, so scary, so scary, so scary, so scary, so scary!
...
A heavy hand.
Xia Youyuanluo opened his eyes, and a samurai sword appeared in his hand out of thin air.
Yes, this seemingly ordinary katana is his ability.
The first time I summoned this sword was yesterday. I searched everywhere and found no difference from an ordinary samurai sword.
Xia Youyuanluo searched the Internet and compared it, and finally came to a regrettable conclusion: this is just an ordinary samurai sword.
But this was summoned by him, so it shouldn't have any special abilities anyway.
So today Xia Youyuanluo brought back the little monsters in the cage.
The katana cannot be summoned by Xia Youyuanluo just by thinking, which is why he still spent time meditating for a long time tonight.
Good news: Katana is finally summoned.
Bad news: The forward swing is too long.
I don't understand what it does at all.
If you really encounter danger and don't have a weapon to summon it, I'm afraid the person will be cold before you summon it. It's better to carry a small blade or something with you to protect yourself.
After all, larger weapons are contraband, and there is no need for weapons in peacetime. In order to protect everyone's personal safety, the government is very strict in investigating this aspect.
After all, it’s no better than a free America, with shootings every day...
cough.
Holding the katana, Xia Youyuanluo unsheathed the sword bit by bit.
The extremely sharp blade shone with a cold light.
Xia Youyuanluo looked fascinated for some reason. His brown-red eyes were as deep and dark as an abyss, absorbing the soul.
The blade of the knife was getting closer and closer to his face, and it wasn't until a biting chill touched his lower lip that Xia Youyuanluo suddenly came back to his senses.
Wow, let’s just say his abilities can’t be that useless.
But it's also possible that it's just attractive to him as the master.
Xia Youyuanluo stroked the blade of the blade with his fingertips, gently and lingeringly like caressing a lover.
Even if he didn't understand knives, he could still recognize that this was definitely a good knife. It just looks a bit unremarkable on the surface.
Holding the knife, Xia Youyuanluo waved towards the cage where the little monsters were imprisoned.
Grab one and try it out.
Xia Youyuanluo opened the cage, reached in and grabbed an unlucky guy who was pushed out.
"Ugh!" The unfortunate man let out a rapid and shrill scream.
Xia Youyuanluo grabbed him with one hand and held the knife in the other, gesturing with his movements. Well... it would be a little difficult to do it with two hands.
So Xia Youyuanluo put the trembling unfortunate guy on the table, held the handle of the knife with both hands, and cut it vertically.
His eyes never blinked.
Watching the monster being cut in half, there was no movement.
Can it still be resurrected?
Xia Youyuanluo waited for half an hour.
Still no movement at all.
Really dead?
So this mediocre katana he summoned can kill monsters? Although I am not very satisfied with this ability, it is better than nothing.
Xia Youyuanluo looked at the katana in his hand with satisfaction. It was very clean, with no blood on it, as if it wasn't the one that cut off the monster's body just now.
Well, in addition to killing monsters, it also has automatic cleaning?
While Xia Youyuanluo was thinking, the eyes of the two remaining little monsters in the cage next to him were flashing with tears of jealousy.
If I had known that I was going for liberation, I wouldn’t have shied away!
