Gu Bei closed his eyes and sat on the floor. Nono stood beside him and watched his every move, always ready to wake him up.
With magic, the stronger is never the better.
Different techniques of this level like the Eight Strange Techniques are more powerful, and they have reached the pinnacle of a certain technique.
But in a sense, the Eight Magic Techniques are no longer used by humans, so when used, they are always accompanied by various side effects.
That's not quite right, because these side effects are entirely caused by human weakness and have little to do with the Eight Magical Skills themselves.
But it is undeniable that the side effects of Baqiji are never trivial.
Gu Bei has never ignored this issue.
Take Fenghou Qimen as an example.
Although he has reached the peak of his Qimen skills, he can set up a Qimen game with himself as the center. He can switch the four disks in the game at will and work out the time, space and the life and death relationship between the four disks.
Relying on this ability, Fenghou Qimen can basically defeat all other warlocks, and is called "the ultimate of Qimen".
However, while Fenghou Qimen turns the four dials and reverses time and space, it will also exert a huge load on one's body. If used regularly, it will seriously affect the operation of yin and yang and the five elements in the body.
The symptoms are that of being frail or suffering from serious illness.
Just like Wang Ye.
But at this point, Gu Bei is stronger than Wang Ya.
Although Gu Bei was slightly inferior in terms of brains and extraordinary attainments, he couldn't resist the fact that this guy knew so much.
Another Eight Magic Skills perfectly neutralizes the side effects of Fenghou Qimen.
Liuku Immortal Thief.
As the pinnacle of body training and Qi Qi, the Immortal Thief of Liuku gave Gu Bei absolute control over his body, and could even adjust the Yin, Yang and Five Elements in his body by himself.
It's easier to understand if you express it another way.
In the Five Thunder Methods of Tianshi Mansion, one can usually only choose one of the Yin Five Thunders and the Yang Five Thunders. Once the body is broken and the kidney water is flowing down, one can only abandon the Jiang Palace and practice the Water Zang.
But Gu Bei doesn't care. He has control over all the five elements in his body and can use whatever he wants.
However, although Liuku Immortal Thief has filled the vacancy of Fenghou Qimen, it also has its own shortcomings.
Continuously perfecting the physical body will make it become an existence that is infinitely close to "immortal". However, human beings are composed of two parts: life and life. If you only cultivate life and forget about nature, human emotions will be worn away.
This state may be different from that of a saint and closer to the rules.
Coincidentally, regarding the side effects of the Liuku Immortal Thief, Gu Bei also found a solution in the other Eight Wonders...
Well, maybe that's not a coincidence.
In fact, Gu Bei also noticed it.
Now Gu Bei has mastered four of the eight magical skills, namely Double Hands, Liuku Immortal Thief, Fenghou Qimen, and Julingshuangjiang.
Among them, the earliest mastery of Shuangquan Hands has a vague meaning of breakthrough.
There are two types that are still being studied, Shenji Bailian and Tongtianlu.
The other two that have no contact are Daluo Cave Temple and Qi Tiyuanliu, and there is also a divine spirit at the level of outsiders.
During such a long period of Qi practice. Gu Bei learned more and more, mastered more and more, and gained more and more insights.
And as the eight magical skills were unlocked one after another, he secretly felt that there was some kind of special connection between the eight magical skills.
They are not a simple and independent eight stunts, but there are conditions for strengthening and complementing each other.
As mentioned above, one magical skill serves as a supplement to another magical skill, or, like the blue hand and the spirit-binding general in Shuangquan's hand, they complement each other as the same soul-targeting ability.
This made Gu Bei couldn't help but think.
What exactly is the existence called Eight Wonders?
A strange technique? Understanding of Tao? Eight paths to the top?
Why is it that there are only eight types of Eight Magic Skills, but a god spirit is inserted into it?
All these are questions, but Gu Bei can't find the answer.
He can only try his best to unlock every magic skill, use them, understand them, and integrate them.
Waiting for the day when I can truly peep into the secrets of the Eight Wonders.
Let’s get back to the point.
Regarding the side effects of the Liuku Immortal Thief, the one among the Eight Magical Skills that can make up for it is the Juling Dispatch General.
The Julingsend itself does not replenish the user's feelings, but it can ensure the integrity of the user's soul. In this way, even if the body wears out the soul, the soul will avoid harm.
However, the side effects of Julingsendang also followed one after another.
Empathy.
Strictly speaking, it is not a side effect, but a way to hone the user's mind through strange skills.
To put it simply, after the user restrains the spirit, he will feel the spirit's emotions all the time.
Sadness, despair, pain...
This kind of emotion will naturally not have any impact on some heartless or distorted scumbags.
But Gu Bei still has some justice and conscience.
In the name of honing his skills, he will clean up the gangsters near Shilan Middle School; he will also be kind enough to free the imprisoned little monsters; and he will carry fifty thousand souls across mountains and rivers to seek relief for them. .
Although Gu Bei didn't think so, it didn't matter whether you were arrogant or soft-spoken about strange skills.
What it tortures is the heart.
Therefore, after Gu Bei liberated 50,000 souls, his use of Ju Ling Sen General became very rough.
From the original three steps of "Ju Ling - Empathy - Extradition", it has become the current three steps of "Ju Ling - See if it works - Die for me".
There are no fewer steps, but there are fewer things.
From here we can see Gu Bei's fear of empathy.
Although he is a psychopath, he is a psychopath with a bottom line.
So Gu Bei hates empathy very much.
Especially, after arresting the soul, in a state of empathy, use the blue hand to search for the remaining memories in the soul.
The immersive feeling was no less than letting Gu Bei experience what the deceased had experienced.
It's equivalent to dying all over again.
As far as Gu Bei's current magical skills are concerned, there is no way to alleviate it.
So we can only resist hard.
In the sea of consciousness, Gu Bei's soul was wrapped in blue Qi, and he slowly touched the dark soul fragment.
For a moment, the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
After walking through the darkness, Gu Bei opened his eyes and found that he had turned into a woman with a crumpled baby in his arms.
Gu Bei understood.
Mary Parker's soul was too damaged, and the time of her death was uncertain, but it should have been a long time ago. Even the Dragon King's soul could not withstand the wear and tear of reality before it was cocooned, let alone a woman.
Even if the existing ones survive, it is a miracle among miracles, so only some of the more important parts can be retained.
For a woman, giving birth is indeed an important memory.
But there was one thing that Gu Bei couldn't figure out.
What about the memories before this? Why is nothing preserved?
Could it be that there was nothing memorable about Richard's feelings?
Gu Bei looked down at the baby, and it was actually Mary who was looking down.
Gu Bei is just a spectator to the world in his memory. He is just possessed by Mary and observes it from Mary's perspective.
Following Mary's perspective, Gu Bei saw the infant Peter Parker sleeping soundly in Mary's arms.
Light and shadow flow, and the scenery changes.
The baby in his arms disappeared and turned into a dark behemoth.
A sniper rifle.
In the scope, there is an elegant and easy-going white man, having a lively conversation with the person opposite.
The man opposite the white man is Richard Parker!
Really perform the task?
But why did this scene stick with Mary?
Just as Gu Bei had this question, suddenly, the white man in the scope turned his head and looked at Mary's position, showing a strange smile.
Mary hooked her finger, and a large-caliber bullet powerful enough to kill an elephant was shot out, smashing the white man's head into pieces of watermelon on the ground.
In the scope, the headless white man's body hit the ground like a jade pillar pushing a mountain of gold. Richard Parker extended his thumb to Mary, but Mary looked panicked and seemed a little uneasy.
Gu Bei also felt that something was wrong.
The man's smile was so weird, as if he had known about Mary's existence for a long time and deliberately stimulated her to shoot.
The scenery changes again.
The scene this time was a dark night. Mary was being held by someone's hand and running wildly in the alley. Looking up at the hands they were holding, it was Richard Parker.
But there was something wrong about Richard.
The dazzling golden boy, his cheeks were covered with scales, and his hair had a hint of white.
Deadpool-ified.
Gu Bei could tell Richard's state at a glance.
Gu Beike is no stranger to Deadpool. The number of Deadpools who have died under his hands is almost three digits. He also understands the transformation of Deadpool because of the existence of Chu Zihang's inner demon.
It should be the sequelae of violent bloodshed.
Gu Bei guessed.
In terms of status, Richard is only in the preliminary stage of becoming Deadpool, and it doesn't seem to be too serious.
But that's not what it said.
The concentration of dragon blood is irreversible.
Once the Deadpool transformation begins, the hybrids transformed into Deadpool will gradually degenerate. Unless someone like Eri Yi or Chu Zihang has a high enough bloodline and has the help of a special expert like Gu Bei, otherwise There is absolutely no way to recover.
Becoming Deadpool is the normal state of an ordinary hybrid.
Just as he was thinking about it, Richard suddenly stopped, and Mary stopped as well.
Because on the opposite side of the narrow alley, stood an Asian man.
Although Mary didn't express anything, Gu Bei, who was possessed by Mary, frowned.
The man opposite is very strange.
Before Gu Bei could think of anything, the Asian man opposite raised his lips and smiled!
The weird smile was exactly the same as that of the man who died when Mary snatched him away!
In a state of empathy, Gu Bei clearly felt the shock, fear and confusion in Mary's heart at that time.
In fact, Gu Bei was quite shocked now.
what happened?
Isn't that man dead?
No, he is indeed dead. That was a white man, and now this one is a yellow man.
But what’s up with that smile! ?
Are they the same person? Not alone?
Gu Bei fell into a strange loop of thinking, but the scene in his memory did not wait for him to think about it.
Richard leaned forward, exerted force under his feet, and flew out like an arrow, leaving afterimages in the space he passed, and then crashed into the Asian man.
Deadpool's transformed claws were the best weapons, and he tore off half of the Asian man's body. Even part of his brain was cut off, and white brain fragments flowed out.
Most people, even mixed races, would die suddenly on the spot after suffering such an injury, but the Asian man took out a remote control from his pocket like a normal person.
remote control?
Richard looked down at the Asian man's torn body and found a small metal ball placed on the man's abdomen.
Alchemy bomb! ?
Richard's hands were inserted into the Asian man's flesh and blood, and he had no time to pull back to stop him. He could only watch helplessly as the Asian man pressed the switch of the remote control.
"boom!"
The alchemy bomb was detonated on the spot, spreading over more than ten kilometers around, with flames rising into the sky and smoke rising everywhere.
Gu Bei was possessed by Mary, feeling like something was protecting her, and then he heard Richard's small beep: "Tmd, I have to ask Principal Angers to approve a note for me after I go there. In the cellar Don't you take out the things you have and keep them as decorations?"
"Are you OK?"
This was the first time in his memory that Gu Bei heard Mary speak, softly and softly, like a spring breeze blowing on his face.
"I'm fine."
The smoke and dust dissipated, and the two stood in the ruins. Richard's golden boy was even brighter, with scales covering his entire face.
His Deadpool-ness deepened.
It was obvious that at that moment, Richard was in the Deadpool state and suffered a second bloodbath before he was able to withstand the alchemical bomb.
Mary supported him and saw that his back was full of flesh and blood.
It seemed that he didn't mean to be fine as he said.
"It's okay with me. Let's go quickly. It won't be good if they catch up later."
Richard was still smiling and comforting Mary, but Gu Bei could tell that his condition was not as good as he said.
His Deadpool transformation has been very deep. Generally speaking, in this state, most hybrids have gradually lost their minds and cannot be called hybrids.
At this time, they are beasts.
But Richard's expression remained as normal. Although he was holding fists in his hands and digging his sharp nails into his flesh, he was still facing his lover with a smile.
It must be said that this man has a strong will.
Gu Bei felt a little admired for a moment.
Under the moonlight, the two supported each other and left the ruins. The lights were brightly lit in the distance, and a tall tower stood under the starry sky.
Eiffel Tower?
Gu Bei was stunned.
This is Paris?
Only then did Gu Bei realize. Before that, he had always thought that the two of them were somewhere in the United States, but as soon as the Eiffel Tower came out, his suspicions were completely overturned.
So, "family" doesn't just refer to a local family in New York?
Is the French family involved in this matter?
The secret party is really in chaos.
Gu Bei was just thinking when he suddenly felt a needle-like gaze behind him.
Mary seemed to feel it too and wanted to turn her head away.
"Don't look back!"
Gu Bei shouted, but he was just a phantom to the memory and could not interfere in any way.
Mary finally looked back.
Then with Mary's eyes, Gu Bei saw a tall figure, riding on an eight-legged horse, raising the spear in his hand.
The spear is pointed at fate!
