After confirming through the psychic mark that both the doctor and the killer were gone, Leo walked to the door of the clinic. Although there were some refugees who had just been treated and were resting around him, he didn't pay attention to these people. He opened the door directly and walked over.

Inside the clinic.

Although some people also wanted to stop Leo's movements, they didn't know whether it was because their bodies were a little weak due to the pain, or because they were afraid of Leo, who seemed to be untouchable. They all sat down quickly, or used

Cover your head with a hood, or simply close your eyes and concentrate, pretending you haven't seen anything.

Jefferson Thomson did not lock the door when he left. The reason why he was so relieved may be because the reputation of the medical team is enough to deter some people, or it may be that there is nothing to steal in the clinic itself. In short, in the past, this

Indeed, no one has broken into the clinic without permission for several months. Even if someone needs emergency treatment, they will stay outside and wait for the doctor to come back.

However, the clinic doctor does not really believe in these refugees, but because even locking the door may not be useful. It is better to leave the door open and use other methods to deal with the intruders.

For example, a small amount of property and some commonly used medicinal materials are placed in a few slightly eye-catching locations in the outer reception room. If most people get these things, most of them will stop and leave. If this still does not make the intruder stop, the operation will be done later.

The deliberately bloody scene in the room was believed to be able to dissuade a group of people. But some people still continued to go to the doctor's bedroom, so the crossbow mechanism in the bedroom would be enough to pose a fatal threat to the intruders.

However, these are not the most dangerous mechanisms in the clinic. The really dangerous mechanism is at the entrance to the basement. Even if the intruder finds the entrance to the basement, if he does not open the entrance according to the normal method, then the entrance-linked mechanism will

It will cause the refined oil hanging on the basement roof and the clinic roof to ignite and fall, turning the entire clinic into a sea of ​​​​fire. By then, the already very fragile support structure of the clinic basement will inevitably be unable to withstand the burning of the fire, causing collapse.

Thus burying all the secrets in the basement.

Although these arrangements are very sophisticated and can deal with ordinary intruders, they are not easy to use on psykers like Leo who have a mental network. Leo easily found the key nodes of those mechanisms and used the magician

The low-level witchcraft of the hand destroyed the mechanism nodes blocked in the basement, rendering the most dangerous mechanism in the clinic useless.

Finally, Leo came to the basement without any danger and stood next to the water in the basement.

Just like using the mental net to sense outside, Leo still couldn't sense any living things in the water, but the moment he put his hand into the water, he immediately felt a group of foreign objects rushing toward his hand.

Gather over here.

Leo found the right opportunity. At the moment when the foreign objects were about to touch his palm, he pulled his hand out of the water. At the same time, he pinched a foreign object and took it out of the water. He put it in front of his eyes, used his spiritual vision skills, and carefully examined the suspected

The alien object of the psionic symbiote.

I saw that this foreign object was as big as an earthworm and looked very weak. However, the opposite of its weak appearance was its dangerous nature. There was a strange mouth on both ends of the head and tail of this foreign object. This strange thing

The mouth is filled with sharp teeth that can be turned outwards, turning the teeth into barbs to hook the prey's skin.

Once a prey is bitten, the foreign object will continuously drill into the prey's body through this strange mouth, eating the prey completely from the inside out.

In addition, this foreign object has no intelligence, only the most primitive eating instinct. Even if it is pinched by Leo, it does not make any move to escape. Instead, it keeps trying to bite off the skin on Leo's fingers and burrow into Leo's body.

.

However, it was such a foreign object that could be clamped with two fingers, but Leo felt a faint spiritual energy fluctuation from it. It was obvious that this could be regarded as a spiritual creature. And, it made him feel even more

Surprisingly, this spiritual energy fluctuation actually resonated with his chaotic stomach, allowing him to enter the fragile spiritual level of this foreign object through this spiritual energy resonance reaction, and further use this foreign object to

As a springboard, I came into contact with this psychic symbiote that was tending sheep in the water in the basement.

"Hungry, eat!" When Leo's spirit connected with the spirit of the psychic symbiote, a strong desire that made him somewhat uncontrollable instantly filled his spirit, making him want to eat him.

The hunger urge of all living creatures.

Although Leo's willpower was able to control the strong desire coming out of his mind and cut off the mental connection with the psychic symbiote in time, like an infectious disease, this strong desire to eat still remained in his body.

Mentally, it had a certain impact on him.

"Soul pollution!" After carefully checking his situation, Leo quickly found a statement in his memory that was consistent with his situation.

The idea of ​​soul pollution is recorded in the wizard notes given to him by the expedition. The original source should be ancient wizards. According to the explanation in the book, if a wizard rashly establishes a spiritual connection with a wizard or a higher being with more powerful magic power,

, then the spirit of this wizard is likely to be affected by a more powerful wizard. This influence may be large or small. If it is large, he may become the slave of this powerful wizard, surrendering to him both physically and mentally. If it is small, his personality will be a little bit different.

With changes, habits will also change, and in the end there may even be the possibility of schizophrenia.

However, soul pollution is just what wizards say. In fact, a similar phenomenon is mentioned in some scriptures of the Orthodox Church of Velen World, which is the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Those pastors and believers of the Orthodox Church will

Take the initiative to let go of your own spirit, connect with their gods, and then allow yourself to receive divine inspiration, and your body and mind will become a holy spirit-like existence.

Although the sayings and practices of the two are different, in essence, they are the same, and they also have a common feature, that is, both powerful higher beings exert a spiritual influence on lower-level beings.

But the problem is that the current situation in Leo is somewhat incompatible with this characteristic. This psychic symbiote itself does not have any intelligence. Even if it has high-level three-level psychic fluctuations, it is not considered an advanced life, and Leo’s spiritual energy

The energy level is higher than that of this psychic symbiote, and even the will and spirit are much stronger than the psychic symbiote.

According to common sense, when he connects with the spirit of the psionic symbiote, it should be his spirit that affects the psionic symbiote. This is also the reason why the psyker absorbs the spiritual energy of the psionic symbiote and creates spiritual energy.

One of the prerequisites for energy network nodes.

However, the person who is now mentally affected is Leo, a more powerful and advanced life form. This abnormal phenomenon makes what was originally a simple matter a lot more troublesome.

In addition to the abnormal phenomenon of mental influence, there is another problem that is also very abnormal. Based on the large amount of data that Leo has seen in the Earth Federation, none of them shows that as long as the psychic symbiont starts the path of evolution and produces symbiotic psychic energy,

Then the intelligence of the psychic symbiont will rapidly increase and become the most intelligent existence in the universe.

However, all the information has not mentioned a psychic symbiote with a psychic level of three, and it does not have any intelligence itself, only the survival instinct of some primitive creatures.

So Leo felt that he might be wrong. The foreign objects that were put in the basement water by the medical school doctors were probably not psychic symbionts, but a species similar to psychic symbionts, or even artificial species.

, and the original cells used may come from some kind of advanced organism that has evolved to a certain extent, which can also explain why Leo is obviously more powerful than these foreign objects, but is still affected by the spirit.

Thinking of this, Leo immediately caught another foreign object from the water.

However, this time he did not rashly connect with its spirit, but he also did not stop the psychic resonance effect produced by the Chaos Stomach and the foreign object. Instead, he actively cooperated and amplified this resonance effect.

When this psychic resonance effect amplified to the point where it formed psychic fluctuations, which spread like radio waves and enveloped the entire basement, the group of foreign objects that resembled psychic symbionts immediately began to boil and gush out from the bottom of the water one after another.

, even the foreign objects on the second underground floor swam up and gathered in front of the water in front of Leo, and continued to accumulate.

Seeing piles of worms and foreign objects with sharp teeth and strange mouths appearing in front of him, and constantly pouring out towards the water, no matter how firm Leo's will is, he will still feel a little nervous.

For this reason, while maintaining this resonance effect and waiting for the subsequent changes of these foreign objects, he kept his free hand ready to cast the first-level witchcraft of Burning Hands and the Witcher's Igni Sign at any time.

The high-temperature flames produced by the spell are enough to instantly burn these foreign objects to ashes.

However, the worst situation did not occur. After the foreign objects accumulated to a certain extent, they began to eat each other, and the overall number decreased rapidly, but their spiritual energy fluctuations did not weaken.

At the same time, the foreign object held by Leo's fingers suddenly produced a powerful force, escaped from Leo's fingers, fell into the water, and participated in this feast of cannibalism.

As the number of foreign objects in the stagnant water decreased rapidly, the turbulent water surface gradually calmed down. When all abnormal fluctuations in the water stopped, the last foreign object was as big as a python.

But the devouring feast is not over yet, the foreign object that has nothing to swallow begins to devour itself. The strange mouths on both ends of it are like flower petals, and they open like a crocodile's mouth, biting each other, entangled with each other, and constantly devouring.

In the end, during this autophagy, the foreign body turned into a spherical body, and the devouring was still not over. Its body became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a black gelatinous body about the size of a fingernail, and it was different from Chaos.

The third-level spiritual energy that resonated in the stomach also disappeared at this moment.

Although the mutation of the foreign object has ended, the abnormal situation on Leo's body still continues, because the moment the black gelatinous object appeared, not only the chaotic stomach sac produced a strong sense of hunger, but also the abnormality on his body

The blood also surged, like a sea tide.

"This is..." Leo used his strong will to suppress the abnormal reactions of his body's organs and blood, stepped forward, and picked up the black gelatinous object from the water.

When his fingers touched the black jelly, not only the abnormal reaction of the chaotic stomach and blood intensified by three points, but even the twins who were originally in glove mode automatically turned into sacrificial knife mode.

As if to remind Leo to sacrifice this jelly to the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness.

At this moment, Leo was very glad that his will was strong enough, otherwise, he might have been affected by these abnormal reactions inside and outside his body.

"Is this the remains of an advanced omega-level creature?" Leo used his will to suppress all abnormal reactions, then put the gelatinous object in front of his eyes and scanned it with his mental net, but found nothing extraordinary.

signs of the presence of force.

After taking back the mental net, Leo thought for a moment, asked and answered: "No, it's not just the remains of an Omega-level advanced creature, I'm afraid this thing is a bit more advanced."

From Leo's point of view, this is not the first time that he has obtained the remains of Omega-level advanced creatures. The remains of advanced creatures he has obtained in the past, let alone the organs and blood on his body, even the Twin Sacrificial Knives have never produced such things.

reaction, so he judged that the biological level of this gelatinous object might have exceeded that of ordinary high-level Omega-level organisms.

Although all beings who have peeked into the mysteries of the universe and whose life levels exceed level nine psykers are classified as advanced Omega-level creatures, in fact there is a huge gap in the strength levels within the Omega-level. Some Omegas

Ga-level advanced creatures use galaxies as their basic psychic units, while most Omega-level advanced creatures still use planets as their psychic units.

Just like the Lord of Turbidity and Ethereality should be a galaxy or even interstellar level Omega-level advanced creature, while Omega-level advanced creatures such as the Golden Giant Deer and the Mother of Plants should still use planets as their basic psychic units.

Judging from the reactions of the twins, it is obvious that the source of this gel is at the lowest level of the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness. If Leo really sacrifices it to the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness with a sacrificial knife, he will definitely be able to

Get extraordinary benefits.

However, Leo did not intend to sacrifice it, nor did he intend to take it directly to be absorbed by the Chaos Stomach and the unknown blood in the body. Instead, he put it into the storage space and stored it temporarily until he could figure it out.

When we find out the true source of this thing, we will consider how to deal with it.

Although it is a pity not to get a real psychic symbiote, a mysterious substance with extraordinary origin is not a worthwhile trip. But Leo is not prepared to leave here, but is prepared to stay in the clinic and wait for the person responsible for feeding him.
