"Tell me, what hatred or resentment makes your heart so unstable?"
"I don't."
"I am the Red Moon Warlock. Your little fluctuations in mental energy will not be hidden at all. This way of lying is just like a joke in my eyes."
"I want to become stronger."
"I know you want to become stronger. The question is, what do you want to do to become stronger?"
"My parents died during the last black tide. I want to avenge them."
This answer made Xu Le slightly stunned. Did he start to have hatred after the last black tide?
The situation in the last Red Moon Tribulation was very dangerous, and a lot of people died in the lighthouse. This reason is indeed very reasonable.
But how can I put it, this kind of revenge is too blind.
"Then have you determined your revenge plan, revenge goals, future prospects, and what you should do after revenge?"
Wu Shana was stunned for a moment, as if Xu Le's series of questions had stopped her.
Because she didn't think about it at all.
She wants to join the Night Watch just because the Night Watch can encounter monsters on the front line and kill monsters.
As for the future, it is too far away for her.
"I didn't think about that... I just wanted to kill weirdos and avenge my parents."
Xu Le looked at Wu Shana, who was gradually getting into her own rhythm, and nodded slightly:
"Very well, you want to kill weirdos, but your current strength is very weak. Thinking and doing are two different things. Do you have the means to become stronger?"
Wu Shana narrowed her eyes slightly, stared at Xu Le and said:
"I have."
"Do you have it? What do you have? Do you have the guidance of a famous teacher, or do you have powerful weapons and equipment?
You don’t think that by relying on some alchemical medicines and making some breakthroughs, you can face the weirdness, right?
What we are facing is a weird one, the most ferocious creature in the world. Do you think it’s a bumpy man beating a little monster?”
"You...how do you know?"
When she heard Xu Le talk about alchemy medicine, Wu Shana's expression obviously changed drastically.
Disbelief, mixed with some fear.
Even the mental energy experienced strong fluctuations.
Xu Le couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It's so easy to take the bait. Female college students who haven't left school are easy to deceive. This is true no matter in which era.
However, he still had to do a full set of acting. Now that he had finally found some clues, he couldn't let these clues be broken.
"Wu Shana, do you know the side effects of using alchemy drugs to force a breakthrough?
You are only 21 years old and you still have a lot of future ahead of you.
Have you ever thought about how sad and painful your parents would be if they knew you did this?
They want you to live well, bathe in the sunshine under the lighthouse, get married and have children, and live a good life.
Instead of engaging in this kind of self-destruction and meaningless blind revenge."
Wu Shana hesitated for a while, then lowered her head and sobbed softly.
Xu Le handed her a few pieces of paper and then stretched out his hand towards her.
"Take it and treat it as a responsibility to yourself and an expectation to your parents.
And you don’t need that kind of thing to become stronger.”
Xu Le didn't say clearly what he was taking. He didn't even know what the medicine to help break through would be, and he didn't know whether Wu Shana would give it to him.
But Xu Le knew that at this time, all he had to do was reach out.
As for other things, Wu Shana will figure it out on her own.
The interrogation room fell into endless silence. After Wu Shana was silent for a while, she took out a small bottle from her arms.
Xu Le picked up the bottle.
Unlike the bottle of antihypertensive medicine he originally expected, the bottle in front of him had no printed words.
The taste of the tablets inside is also different from previous antihypertensive drugs.
This means that the two are not similar things, which is a bit strange and completely inconsistent with Xu Le's previous conjecture.
Since they are not the same thing, what is the smell on Wu Shana's body?
This faint smell of decay...
"Where did you get this medicine?"
"I am not very sure."
"Not sure? Can you elaborate?"
"It's like this. After the last black wave, my parents passed away and I became very sad and depressed.
I went to the training ground to practice and kept cursing, but I felt that I was getting stronger too slowly, so I kept crying after I came back.
Then that night, I saw a note and this bottle on my desk.
The note said... If I want to become stronger at all costs, just take the medicine in the bottle.
If you still hesitate, just put the things back and don’t move them.”
"So you just ate it?"
"have eaten."
"How much did you eat?"
"A bottle of medicine contains a total of 30 pills, which need to be taken in 30 days. I broke through level 2 after taking 9 pills. I have been taking them for the past few days, and now I have taken 24 pills in total."
Xu Le narrowed his eyes slightly. With 24 pills, a Level 1 warrior who was about the same level as Zheng Wen suddenly became an extraordinary being among Level 2 warriors.
This kind of improvement... is simply outrageous.
Xu Le's first reaction was the side effects of this pill. Such a huge improvement effect cannot be without side effects.
"Very good, Wu Shana, it seems that you have realized something.
During this time, I will take you on missions as normal and teach you the knowledge and skills of the Night Watch.
Look hard and study hard.”
"Yes, I understand, leader."
Looking at the very motivated Wu Shana, Xu Le asked abruptly;
"Oh, by the way, after you took this potion, has anyone ever mentioned to you that you have a faint smell?"
"odor?"
Wu Shana sniffed her body and shook her head in confusion.
"No, I don't know."
"Okay, it's okay. You can go out first. It's just a good time to familiarize yourself with the environment here."
"yes."
Wu Shana left the interrogation room, and when she walked out of the door, she breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief.
Then, she took out another pill bottle from her pocket...
That medicine bottle is very similar to the antihypertensive medicine Xu Le found.
"The profession of warlock is too sensitive."
When she came to the toilet, Wu Shana took out a cigarette from her pocket and stuffed it into her mouth, as if she wanted to relieve her nervousness when facing Xu Le.
But after a while, she gave up and simply stuffed all the cigarettes into the toilet and flushed them away, then walked out.
…
After Wu Shana left, Xu Le continued to sit in the interrogation room.
He had no intention of leaving until some things were figured out.
Regarding the smell, Xu Le was sure that he smelled it correctly, but this matter could not be rushed. He could take Wu Shana with him for a while.
Check to see if the rotten smell persists or will disappear after you stop taking the medicine.
Xu Le picked up the white medicine bottle and put it in front of him.
Then he took out the Guyinduo card to mobilize his spiritual energy.
"Is this pill related to Bai Jing's death?
The techniques are all based on ancient sounds and many secret words."
【Red Card-Heart】
A beating heart has blood, but it is alive.
Positive: negation, mistakes, bloody lessons
Reverse: Source.
Seeing this result, Xu Le narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Is there no relationship between the two?"
After Xu Le performed the divination, a strange energy began to flow in the room, but there was only a slight fluctuation.
At the same time, in Gu Jianuo's laboratory, the green plant labeled Bai Jing suddenly rotted its first leaf.
The leaf with the eyes.
Then, behind Xu Le, an eye slowly opened from the wall.
As if he felt something, Xu Le suddenly turned his head and looked behind him, but his eye also closed.
The walls were just ordinary walls, and everything seemed as if it had never happened.
Xu Le withdrew his doubtful gaze, looked at the bottle in his hand, and turned his head suddenly again.
But he still found nothing.
"What's going on? Why do you have the feeling...that when you open the browser, there's a person standing behind you?"
Turning his gaze back to the bottle in his hand, Xu Le didn't know if he was in the wrong direction.
Maybe the rotten smell that Bai Jing produced after she sublimated her body had nothing to do with the pills?
It was just that her spiritual will had reached that level at that time, so she had a similar taste?
If level 4 warriors are the limit of warriors, then is Bai Jing's sublimated state a new realm that can be reached by practicing in the ordinary state, or is it a qualitative change that can only occur through the sublimation of life?
These are all things to know.
Xu Le didn't know much about warriors. He felt that he needed to read some books about warriors.
But from beginning to end, he had no doubts about the results of his divination.
"Let's go to the library at the headquarters. I haven't been there for a while."
There aren't many people in Team 6 right now.
Wang Shu was troubled by the captain handover issue, so no one took care of Xu Le's paid fishing.
Walking to the door, where Ding Ke often squatted, Xu Le meowed twice.
Ding Ke immediately jumped down from an unknown roof and landed on Xu Le.
One person and one cat called a tricycle and headed towards the upper city again.
Not long after, Xu Le was sitting in the library of the Night Watch headquarters, flipping through books about warriors.
"On the Ultimate Achievable by a Warrior" "The Heart of a Master" "The Normalization of the Strongest Warrior"
Xu Le is reading these three books, which are all theoretical knowledge.
Normally, real warriors would not read these books.
Rather than understanding theoretical knowledge, warriors prefer the method of "swinging the sword 10,000 times today" to practice.
However, for a warlock like Xu Le, the theoretical research in these books is still very valuable.
Especially the book "On the Extremes a Warrior Can Achieve".
It describes in detail the issues related to the ultimate warrior.
Beginner-Beginner-Advanced-Master-Grandmaster.
Normally speaking, the Grandmaster has reached the limit of human beings, which is the extreme of the physical body.
Human bodies have limitations. They cannot generate additional energy, nor can they utilize that energy. This is not even as weird as Level 1.
But there is a kind of warrior who is able to break through this limitation and reach a more powerful level of combat effectiveness.
That is a person with fruit abilities.
The fruit ability user gives the warrior extra energy, allowing the warrior to use the power of Gu Yinduo, so that he can continue to become stronger.
Biological fruits can allow a warrior's physical strength to exceed the original limits of human beings.
Elemental fruits can also enhance the warrior's action effects, similar to Bai Gu.
I don’t know much about the mysterious Xu Le.
But the above two methods can allow warriors to break through their original limitations.
So this book makes a summary and hypothesis.
Assuming that warriors can have an energy system of their own, can warriors break through Grandmaster level 4 and reach Level 5?
When Xu Le was studying warrior books, an eye suddenly opened on the bookshelf behind him.
Meow!
Ding Ke stood up and stared at the bookshelf with cold eyes.
Xu Le looked at Dingke with a little doubt. His posture felt like other cats were coming to snatch his small dried fish.
"Ding Ke? What's wrong?"
Xu Le looked at the place where Ding Ke was wary, only to find that there was just a bookshelf and nothing else.
Xu Le turned his head back. Instead of showing any strange expression, he touched Ding Ke's head.
"Okay, you're not going to fight with the bookshelf, are you? I'll buy you a book later so you can play with it. Don't break the things here."
After this episode, Xu Le went to get a few more books on warrior training.
The training of a warrior mostly involves the body and will breaking through the limits again and again.
The peculiarity of this world is that the upper limit of human beings is very high. Even people with ordinary qualifications will slowly increase in strength and speed as long as they continue to exercise.
There are very few such things as bottlenecks, at least it is difficult for ordinary people to encounter bottlenecks.
Xu Le was wondering if he could consider exercising a little while preparing for promotion to LV2.
Most of the current physical strength comes from the soul of the veteran, which is a bit too weak.
If we put aside the increase in the veteran's soul, he is not even as good as a weakling like Gu Beichen.
Not to mention becoming a level 0 warrior, but at least improving the situation of being out of breath after running a few steps.
Xu Le pulled out a book that interested him from the bookshelf.
"Warrior Quickly Becomes in One Month"
[1,000 push-ups every day, 4,000 horse steps and punches with weights, and running 20 kilometers with weights...]
After Xu Le read the content, he confirmed that the content was done in one day and not in a month, and closed the book again.
"Actually, I think...it's good to be a warlock."
Meow! Ding Ke also nodded at this time, acknowledging Xu Le's words.
Xu Le flipped through a few more books, trying to see if there was anything like a magical secret book.
Such as internal strength, breathing methods, or special warrior training methods.
Unfortunately, I searched almost the entire warrior section of the library and found nothing.
Is it true that a warrior's promotion depends on hard training? Is there no shortcut?
Just when Xu Le felt helpless, a familiar figure appeared opposite him.
Alchemist, Gujiano.
"Hey, Xu Le? Why are you here?"
"This is the library of the Night Watch headquarters. I'm a Night Watchman, so reading here shouldn't be a problem, right?
But you, as a bachelor of Beacon University, why do you always go to the night watchman?"
Gu Jianuo's face was still a little pale at this time. She raised the big book in her hand:
"My teacher is District Chief Bear, so I naturally come to a place like the Night Watch Headquarters whenever I want.
In terms of academics, Lighthouse usually does not impose restrictions on scholars. Otherwise, as an international student like you, do you think you can still learn something?"
"That's right!" Xu Le smiled, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly.
Gu Jianuo glanced at the book in his hand and laughed:
""Warrior Quickly Becomes a Warrior in One Month"? How come you, a warlock, want to read a book about warriors like this?"
"I just feel that the captain was in a special state when he died, so I wanted to check the information."
"You don't want to try the training of a warrior, right? The training of a warlock is so complicated, and you still want to think about being a warrior. That would be a waste of time."
"Yes, I took a look and felt that it was a waste of time, so I was ready to give up."
At this point, Gu Jianuo changed the subject.
"I've heard about the situation of your team 6. Madam has given you two months without having to do field work.
But even if you have 2 months, you will not be able to go out into the field without top-notch combat power.
Xu Le, don’t you have any additional plans? For example...come to my teacher’s place?"
This should be Gujiano's second invitation. The last time was the day he just returned to the lighthouse.
Xu Le pondered for a while, as if thinking seriously.
But in the end he shook his head:
"I don't want to give up so easily. After all, this is the team that the captain finally left behind, so thank you for your kindness. I still want to try and save this team."
Regarding Xu Le's rejection, Gu Jianuo did not show much emotion.
However, she briefly expressed her opinion.
"A Night's Watch team needs a core, that is, the backbone.
There is no such person in your team at present. Although you three young people have grown up very quickly, it will take time to become the mainstay of the team.
Since you don't want to, I won't force you, and my teacher's door will always be open for you."
"Thank you, Miss Gu. I will always keep your help and kindness in mind."
After meeting with Gu Jianuo, Xu Le did not stay in the library, but walked out directly.
Standing at the door, Xu Le took out the Guyinduo card and took a look.
【White Card-Joker】
The clown is smiling at you, no one knows what is under his mask.
Positive: Like a clown, something bad is about to happen.
Reverse: Disguise under the mask
"It's true, I'm like a clown."
When Xu Le saw Gu Jianuo, he already knew that he had been tricked, silently.
He would not believe that Gu Jianuo would come here by such a coincidence.
However, from the conversation, he still realized that the other party's ability was flawed.
"She can only see what I do, but can't hear what I say?"
Meow!~Ding Ke nodded on his shoulder.
Xu Le began to remember.
When did you get infected?
There are many action tracks today, including hospitals, monuments, Chaofan Academy dormitory area, Chaofan Academy, Night Watch branch, and library.
To say something fishy...
The interrogation room of the Night Watch branch, that time there was a divination about the medicine bottle.
After the divination, Xu Le felt like he was being spied on.
That's not an illusion, it's a real peek.
"The pills Wu Shanna gave me caused me to have a wrong divination and fell into the alchemist's trick."
Xu Le narrowed his eyes, feeling a little interested.
