Thinking silently, Xiao Xiao gradually clarified some things.
Of course, what is the essence of painful matter, and whether there is only one essence or a collective name for many elements, is another question.
At least these three vicious dogs also devoured a lot of things when they fought against the Nest of Suffocation, but they showed no signs of strengthening. This already shows that the Nest of Suffocation and the Swamp of Despair are both aberrations, and they also have pain.
Matter, but the two are not similar in certain properties. Therefore, Xiao Xiao even has some doubts that there may be a periodic table of elements in this city that is similar to the classification of painful substances?
Sighing lowly, huge and twisted, living cities, deformed creatures, painful substances born in the bodies of desperate people...
He vaguely felt as if he had discovered some kind of logic behind all this absurdity.
However, compared to this huge world, what I saw was just the tip of the iceberg, and I was unable to make any effective guesses.
…
…
"You did a great job..."
Without thinking any more, Xiao Xiao gave verbal praise to the three vicious dogs in the yard.
These three vicious dogs, which had been strengthened and had high energy, suddenly rushed around excitedly, bumping around in the yard, wagging their tails crazily.
Although they have been strengthened, they should not have broken through the IQ level to understand Xiao Xiao's words. It is just some kind of deep connection that allows them to feel Xiao Xiao's inner satisfaction with them.
"Come……"
Xiao Xiao looked at them and smiled, then stretched out his palm: "Bite me..."
"?"
The three dogs were stunned for a moment.
Ever since I became a dog, I have never heard of such excessive demands...
"Bite boldly, I'm not that stingy and I won't hold a grudge..."
Xiao Xiao persuaded them gently, knowing that his request was rather strange.
However, since the three dogs have completed strengthening, it is still necessary to test their abilities.
In the Swamp of Despair, he could feel that after the three dogs were strengthened, their strength, speed, and even a certain twisted temperament became stronger.
However, they have been strengthened by swallowing painful substances, and there should be more than just this change.
So Xiao Xiao also felt that he had to personally test their strengthening effects, but he couldn't just take them to the street and test them on pedestrians, right?
People will call the police.
Regarding his request, the three dogs' reactions immediately seemed somewhat different.
The ferocious big black dog immediately raised its head high, with a stubborn look on its face. I would rather bite myself than bite my great master.
Huang Mao, on the other hand, had an honest face and squatted there motionless, as if he didn't hear anything.
Only the black and white dog, after being stunned for a moment, immediately bit Xiao Xiao's hand with an "ouch" sound.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao immediately felt an unbearable pain in his palm, but he couldn't help it. With this pain flowing throughout his body, all kinds of weird memories suddenly appeared in his mind.
Just like the feeling of uncontrollable memory when approaching the core of the Swamp of Despair, it made him feel as if his heart was missing a piece, making it difficult to form effective memories.
Fortunately, his ability to think explosively allowed him to get through the most painful period in an instant, even on the surface as if nothing had happened.
I just looked at the three dogs with some surprise.
"They have acquired the same ability as the core of the Swamp of Despair. They can disrupt or awaken some people's painful memories and disrupt their thinking."
"Is this because they originally swallowed this painful substance?"
"..."
"Woof woof..."
Seeing Xiao Xiao's happy face, the black and white dog immediately stuck out its tongue happily, looking eager to give him another bite.
On the other hand, the two dogs next to it looked at it with confused expressions.
"Give you something delicious..."
Xiao Xiao waved his hand, saying no, and then took out the three sausages he just bought from his pocket.
I gave one and a half to the black dog, and one and a half to the yellow dog.
When it was Erha's turn, he clapped his hands and it was gone.
It's not that I'm being petty, I'm angry that this Erha didn't hesitate to bite me, it's just that there are exactly three ham sausages, not enough...
As he happily turned around to go home, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt something in his heart. He turned around and saw Nono standing quietly at the door of her living room in the neighbor's side bed.
She put on a pair of cute white pajamas, and some fresh scars could be seen on her face.
It seemed that something had been applied to cover it up, but some of the stains at the corners of his eyes were still very noticeable, so he put the white bear-eared hat on his pajamas on his head.
She looked at Xiao Xiao from a distance, and there seemed to be a little mist in her eyes.
Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, not sure what question Nuonuo would ask him, and he didn't think of how to explain it.
But unexpectedly, Nono didn't ask anything. Instead, he walked up to the three vicious dogs, squatted down gently, and stroked their heads.
"Thank you..."
Xiao Xiao heard her speaking softly, and there was a touch of emotion in her voice about surviving a disaster.
This is a smart girl. She didn't ask anything, she just thanked her silently. When Xiao Xiao left, he saw her eyes.
In his eyes, there was gratitude and a silent guarantee that he would take good care of them.
Xiao Xiao likes this tacit feeling that similar people really have something in common.
Regardless of whether this neighbor's little girl is a real person or just a monster, Xiao Xiao can feel a certain similar temperament from her.
Now, he still doesn't know much about the world and doesn't know why, but he feels that something is important.
It is important that a girl's world is prevented from collapsing, and this little thing that makes her feel is also important.
Maybe in this world, except for strangers, everyone else is a monster...
But looking at the clean girl next door and thinking that he helped her avoid the fate of becoming a deformed creature, Xiao Xiao still felt that he was protecting something.
The monster is real, and the little thing I have protected is also real.
When he got home, his mother hadn't gotten off work yet. Xiao Xiao took out a bowl of instant noodles and realized that he had made a mistake.
There is no need to divide the three ham sausages into two and a half pieces.
Can you keep one for yourself...
As he was sitting in front of the table, waiting for the noodles to be soaked, and sorting out what happened today, Yang Jia's call came in: "Did you meet Xiaosi today?"
"right."
Xiao Xiao, who originally planned to tell Yang Jia or Ruanruan about this matter, smiled quickly and said: "We also encountered an aberration incident by accident, and we solved it together."
"According to Xiaosi, he didn't do much, and it was you who solved it."
Yang Jia was silent for a moment and said: "In addition, he said that he saw three enhanced creatures with abnormal power next to you?"
"Yes."
This was exactly what Xiao Xiao wanted to ask Yang Jia about. Seeing her take the initiative to bring it up, he hurriedly took the three dogs to help, and unexpectedly discovered that their reinforcement amount was getting less and less.
Yang Jia has been listening silently, and you can feel Xiao Xiao's happiness at this time. After a long time, he said: "Then do you know that this kind of behavior is actually very risky?"
"They can be strengthened for free because they have devoured enough homologous substances and reached the critical point of distortion. Of course, you can directly strengthen them so that they can instantly gain an order of magnitude more power, but once the strengthening fails, they will also
It will immediately turn into a deformed creature. At that time, you will not only have to face the core of pain, but also three monsters that have turned into dogs of pain."
"..."
Faced with this question, Xiao Hao suddenly fell silent.
To say he didn't expect it would be a lie. His ability to think explosively allowed him to think about countless problems every moment.
Naturally, this also includes the possibility of reinforcement failure.
However, he also did some serious analysis first.
After all, I was right in front of the coffee shop at that time. If I saw something bad, I could leave immediately. Moreover, Xiaosi was not far away. I believed that if there was a problem, he could help solve it.
Of course, a more important reason is that at that time, I deeply realized that if I did not strengthen them, then I would have to give up the task. Once I succeeded, everyone would be happy.
In addition, I also have an inexplicable trust in them.
From this perspective, I am not betting on dogs, I just... trust my intuition!
Thinking silently, he smiled into the phone and said, "I know, I will definitely not do such risky things in the future."
Seeing his answer, Yang Jia slowed down and said softly: "I'm just reminding you that the results are still very good."
"Actually, although we will also stay together to keep each other warm, in principle we will not interfere too much in each other's choices."
"It's just that I originally thought that you would have to grow up for a while before you would have such a high degree of autonomy. I didn't expect that you have always been such a thoughtful person."
"..."
Xiao Xiao could only smile and said: "Actually, not really..."
He could actually feel that Yang Jia seemed to be too tolerant of him, and even took care of his emotions when giving him suggestions.
According to Ruanruan and Xiaosi, she seems to be a leader?
Leaders should have more demands on newcomers, right? Why does she seem so tolerant?
Because of the relationship in high school?
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
At this time, Yang Jia also laughed and said: "However, the main reason why I called you is to remind you of another thing."
"According to Xiaosi, your neighbor's girl seemed to have almost turned into an aberrant creature. Although she was finally stopped, you still need to pay more attention."
"If she changes in some way afterwards, you'd better clean it up in time or notify us."
"..."
Xiao Xiao was shocked when he heard this: "Is it possible that she is still deformed?"
"Normally speaking, it's unlikely."
Yang Jia said softly: "But if there is a problem again, it means that her deformation may have been specially bred by those crazy guys..."
Xiao Xiao was stunned: "Who?"
Yang Jia whispered: "A group of stubborn and stupid guys think they have the truth about the world..."
