"I finally know what Article 4 of the code means." Li Zheng said to Miriel: "Are you okay? Do you want me to release the capsule residence? You can get used to it first, and I'll be back soon."
Miriel thought carefully after hearing this: "I... I'll stay here, so as not to hold you back."
She doesn't have much fighting power in her current state. Forcibly following Li Zheng will only become a drag.
"Okay, then wait for me here first." Li Zheng released the capsule residence and warned: "Don't open the door to anyone until I come back."
"I'm not a child, I know it well." Miriel opened the door and turned around like a young wife telling her husband who is about to go on a long journey, sincerely: "Be careful on the road."
"I will." Li Zheng lifted her cloak, kissed her hard, and said in her ear: "Wait until I come back."
"Well, you...just leave quickly." Miriel breathed heavily as he kissed her, her eyes blurred: "I can't hold on any longer."
"Bye-Bye."
Li Zheng quickly put the cloak back on Miriel, waved his hand and said goodbye to her.
After watching Li Zhengyuan go away, Miriel entered the capsule residence until he could no longer see his back. She struggled to resist the desires aroused by the environment and worked hard to temper her will.
She is not young, and her willpower is not weak, but she has been too indulgent these days and has become lax.
Today, when I was stimulated by the environment in the Sin Realm, I realized that my willpower had declined to such an extent, so I secretly made up my mind to temper it back.
Otherwise, Li Zheng couldn't leave just now, and it would take at least another three hours before she would let him go.
"Hey..."
Miriel sat on the edge of the bed, feeling that the smell of Li Zheng was everywhere in the air. She couldn't help herself, her legs rubbed against each other, and she let out a gasping sound.
…
"Those two guys were taken advantage of by evil thoughts the moment they lost their minds. The rate of infection transformation was much faster than in the outer city. It must be an environmental problem."
Li was looking at the gathering point near Chi Chi, followed the path provided by the Eye of Preles, and soon found the two infected bodies between a group of buildings.
Just the moment when the mind is lost, it can be invaded by evil energy and directly transformed into an infected body. It is understandable that the Lotte clan does not allow the Lotte clan to purify the magic crystal here at such a speed.
Every member of the Lotte clan is a treasure and must be supported by the outer city. If there is an accident and a few are infected, it will be a huge loss and will slow down the rate at which the residents of the outer city absorb the energy of the magic crystal.
You must know that compared to the entire population of the Lotte clan compared to all the residents of the outer city, it is simply a drop in the ocean. There is no comparison. Even if the number of Lotte clan members is increased tenfold, it will not be able to meet the needs of the outer city.
"Every rule is based on the lessons of blood and tears, which shows that similar things have happened before and the losses were heavy." Li Zheng quietly followed the two infected people, trying his best to cover up his presence and not act rashly.
Since being infected, the environment of the Sin Domain has been unable to affect the infected body, and he can walk with ease, comparable to Li Zheng's current state.
There were few people on the road, and there was no sound coming from the buildings of different shapes on the roadside, but Li Zheng could feel a strong aura among them.
These residents have extremely strong mental strength, and in terms of quality, even Miriel is far behind them.
"No wonder Miriel can't walk a few steps, but they can stay here."
Presumably the people here have absorbed a lot of magic crystal energy, and all of them are quite strong.
"Perhaps Miriel's breakthrough was too early. She should wait until she absorbs some magic crystal energy and further purifies her mental power before condensing it. Only in this way can she lay a solid foundation."
Li Zheng followed the two infected people all the way, thinking as he walked.
Judging from the performance of the residents of the outer city, Li Zheng believes that after he announces the method of condensing spiritual power, the entire outer city will see a huge improvement.
The players of Aqua Blue Star have little knowledge and it is difficult to compete with them. They may not be able to defend Block 4 in the end and will be outcompeted by others and kicked to a remote block.
"However, if the node aggregation method is announced, the contribution to the outer city will be huge. Maybe by then Aquablue Star's ranking will rise instead of falling, and it may firmly occupy the dominance of Block 1."
As for whether he can hold on from behind, that's not Li Zheng's business to worry about. It depends on whether the players of Aqua Blue Star can live up to their expectations.
He is like the rich generation who started from scratch and left a rich fortune to those who come after him. Whether the second generation and the third generation can keep it depends on their performance.
"Huh?"
Li Zheng paused, and the two infected bodies in front seemed to have noticed him. They quickened their pace, got into the gap in the building, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"What do these two guys want to do? Aren't infected bodies confused and only instinctive?"
The mental power was released and turned into a huge net that covered the sky, instantly covering a five-kilometer radius with Li Zheng himself as the center.
Within this five-kilometer range, every detail is visible, and even the dents on the surface of distant towers can be clearly seen.
From the perspective of mental power, two infected bodies sneaked up to a wooden building. After waiting for a few seconds, one of them stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Not long after, the door of the wooden house was half opened, and half of the face cautiously peeked out from inside. It was covered by a hood, and it was impossible to tell what race it was.
After a few words of negotiation between the two parties, one of the infected subjects suddenly removed his masking props and revealed his true body.
I don’t know if it’s because the body mutated after being infected, or if it’s because of the race itself, which looks so weird.
This person has a horse face, with half a goat's horn and half an ox's horn on his head. One side is hairless and the other is hairy. The sides of the two half-horns are covered with various styles of animal ears. He can roughly count at least five.
Ten!
The eyes are also weird, with three eyes, distributed on the forehead in a "pin" shape.
The three eyes are of different sizes, and the hole grows weirdly in circles, like the growth rings of a tree after it has been cut down.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition, ears, noses, mouths, beards, etc. all have the characteristics of several different races.
Moreover, every facial feature is asymmetrical, and the left half of the face is missing a piece and is deeply sunken.
In Li Zheng's opinion, such an appearance is as ugly as it gets.
However, the strange thing is that when the owner of the wooden house saw such an appearance, his guard was instantly overcome, and he unconsciously let the two infected people in.
"The evil aura has become stronger." Li Zheng witnessed all this happening and frowned slightly: "Are these two infected bodies looking for beings with weak willpower to spread the infection?"
Even without the assistance of the Eye of Pres, Li Zheng could tell that the owner of the wooden house was normal at first. Only after the infected body took off its cloak and revealed its true appearance, he seemed to be possessed and released the two of them.
Enter the house.
Li Zheng quietly walked near the wooden house, lurking and waiting.
Not long after, the door of the wooden house was opened, and dozens of hands and feet of different races stretched out from the door.
When he was completely out, Li Zheng saw that those densely packed hands and feet were all growing on one person. When he looked at it with his naked eyes, he found that what he saw with his naked eyes was completely different from what he could observe with his mental power.
To his naked eye, the infected body looked exactly like Zhan Zhouzhou!
Those countless extra organs seemed to not exist!
"I see, the first three rules in the rules should be countermeasures for the environment of the crime domain." Li Zheng closed his eyes, locked the opponent with his mental power, and secretly speculated in his heart: "'Observation' and 'Appearance' will strengthen the color domain.
The only way rules can affect people is to completely cover up their voices and looks, put an end to all illusions in their minds caused by observing other people's appearances, and minimize the influence of the environment."
"The reason why these two infected bodies have mutated so many limbs and organs is to satisfy the aesthetics of different races, thereby increasing the influence of the color field to the optimal state."
"But...why did I see Zhan Zhouzhou?"
It would make sense to say that what he saw was Miriel, right?
However, Li Zheng had no time to think about it. The number of infected bodies there increased from two to three, and even the evil energy surging on his body became much stronger. Obviously, as the number of infected bodies increased, the strength of the individual body also became stronger.
With this wave of improvements, the infected seemed to have gained confidence. Instead of looking for weak-willed targets like before, they went directly to the building next door and knocked on the door.
We can't let them continue to be infected, otherwise the entire gathering area may fall!
Li Zhenglang shouted angrily: "There are infected people in the gathering area, everyone should not go out!"
The sound was carried by spiritual power, penetrated those buildings, and reached everyone's ears.
This warning instantly caused a reaction in the surrounding area. The doors of dozens of buildings were opened a crack, and heads were poked out to check the situation.
These are all beings who have confidence in their own strength, and all of them are very strong. At first glance, the three infected bodies actually resisted the invasion of evil energy.
But the next moment, everyone retreated back to their residence, the door was closed tightly, their faces changed drastically, and they struggled to resist the evil energy that clung to the spiritual world like maggots on the tarsal bones.
The evil spirit became extremely fierce under the blessing of the environment and could not be driven away in a short period of time.
The three infected bodies also noticed Li Zheng's presence and swooped over without any explanation.
The big mouths covered with sharp teeth were drooling with saliva, and there was an inexplicable fishy smell, like the smell of seafood that has been stored for a long time.
"The speed...is a bit slow?" Li Zheng found it strange that the residents of the outer city who could enter the Sin Domain not only had strong mental strength, but also had poor physical fitness.
As a result, after becoming an infected body, he seemed to be affected, and his speed and strength were far less than he imagined. At most, only the Star Glory level was close to the level of a king.
Faced with such a weak infected body, Li Zheng didn't even bother to take out his weapon. He used the palm and body skills he had learned from the bear-men and rat-men before, and beat the three infected to death in a few rounds.
"So weak."
Li Zheng shook his head in disappointment: "Aside from using negative emotions to influence the target, it has almost no lethality. I didn't even use any force, and you fell down."
He thought he could finally warm up, but let alone warming up, the fighting was over without even relaxing his muscles and bones.
"I wonder if this infected body has magic crystal?"
Li Zheng knelt down to check and found nothing similar. Instead, he got two inscription cards.
"Only two?"
He looked at the inscription card in his hand, thoughtfully.
There are only two inscription cards among the three infected bodies, indicating that one of them is either a pet or a follower, or is not a resident of the outer city, but comes from the wilderness.
Li Zheng rummaged through it again, but couldn't find any more clues or anything similar to a follower's certificate, so he gave up.
Use your mental power to clean around the corpse to wipe out all the remaining evil spirits, then a bright flame appears from your fingertips, falls on the rotten flesh and begins to burn.
The grease remaining in the corpse gradually became a combustion accelerant, and the fire gradually grew larger, filling the air with a burning smell.
At this moment, Li Zheng noticed that several more powerful auras were quickly coming here from all directions.
He turned around and looked around, checking everyone one by one. They were all normal people and not infected.
There were five people in total, all wearing clothing that concealed their faces. Their appearance and race could not be distinguished clearly. What was different from the others was that they all had exquisite badges pinned to their chests.
Looking up, the Eye of Prells quickly gave the message:
[When forming a gathering area in a chaotic area, someone also needs to maintain order.]
[Although they have not been certified by the terminal, the authority of these people in this area has long been recognized by every resident who comes here, and the badges they wear have no special function and are just a symbol of identity.]
【If you have been treated unfairly in the crime field, you can ask them to seek justice for you.】
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [Assuming you can find them alive.]
In addition to this information, the identity and strength of the five people were also revealed by the Eye of Preles, and everything from race to strength rating was presented to Li Zheng.
If Lao Pu didn't have any weird hobbies, maybe even the color of these people's underwear could be exposed.
Nowadays, as Li Zheng becomes more and more powerful, especially after Xu instills all the vast spiritual power into him, the level of information that Lao Pu can detect has been greatly improved.
Not long ago, Li Zheng asked Lao Pu to explore the nature of the matrix, and thus discovered the truth that the matrix is actually a man-made object.
Although within a few days, the appearance of the terminal made him think of these things...
The last time he failed to detect information from Yakumo, Ye Lan, the doctor and others, Li Zheng asked about the Eye of Preles, and the answer he received was that Li Zheng's strength had just improved at that time and it had not yet adapted.
As a result, I met the blacksmith ten days ago and was confused again.
Lao Pu just showed off his cards this time: [Some people have much deeper knowledge than you think. If I forcibly detect the other party’s information, there is a high probability that they will discover it. So it’s not that you, Pu, can’t do it, but that you can’t do it.
!]
At this time, all the information about the five people Li Zheng faced was detected, indicating that the overall strength of these people was not as good as Yakumo and the others.
Probably only ranked within 1,000 in each block.
Having such strength is enough to stand out from the crowd. After all, unless a neighborhood is a ghost street, the minimum population is measured in trillions.
It is not easy to break into the top one thousand with such a base.
Li Zheng believed that he could be among the top 100, or even the top 50, and escape unscathed, taking advantage of the mental power that Xu had left for him.
If he didn't have such a strong mental power to back him up, anyone in the top 100 million on the block would be able to manipulate him at will.
After looking at the burning corpse for a while, one of them took out a device as big as a handheld computer and explored the area for a while. After getting feedback on the conclusion, he was surprised: "All the evil thoughts have disappeared!"
Then he pointed the device at the corpse: "If it weren't for the traces of evil thoughts remaining in the corpse, I almost thought three normal residents had died just now."
Hearing this, the other four people were also shocked and looked at Li Zheng: "How did you do that?"
Only then did Li Zheng realize that what he had done seemed to be a bit too much.
After killing the infected body, he saw some evil spirits remaining around him, and he was worried that something might happen, so he took action to eliminate it.
Among the five people who came, one was from the Lotte tribe, and he was the weakest among them. He was caught under someone's arm and flew over on the way here. Obviously, he didn't even have flying props.
The purpose of bringing him here is also very simple, which is to deal with the aura of evil thoughts left after the infected body is killed.
In this regard, they Lotte clan are experts.
Li Zheng pondered for two seconds: "My name is Le Jia. I am a mixed-race child of the Lotte clan. Today is my first time in the Sin Domain. I happened to run into these infected bodies and killed them easily."
Lotte clan.
Mixed race.
After hearing these two keywords, the four of them understood that for the Lotte clan, it was easier to deal with just a little bit of residual evil thoughts than turning over the palms of their hands.
But the Lotte clan member among the five people secretly narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Zheng with a strange look, but didn't say much.
Although magic crystal shops cannot be set up in the Sin Domain, they are worried that the Lotte clan will not be able to handle too many magic crystals and will be infected.
However, just in case, there are many Lotte tribesmen stationed in each sin area in shifts, just to worry about the invasion of infected bodies, so that they can go to deal with it as soon as possible.
This time it was Leweida's turn to be stationed in the Fourth Sin Realm. I thought that as usual, I only had to stay in the Sin Realm for ten days and then I could return to the outer city when the time limit was up.
Unexpectedly, with only one day left in his term, he would encounter an invasion of infectious agents that had been rare in the past few years.
When I arrived at the scene, I met a mixed-race Lotte person who called himself Le Jia.
He doesn't know whether others believe it or not, but he doesn't believe it anyway.
Because he knew Le Jia, it was Le Weida who brought Le Jia back from the wilderness to the outer city. Even the name Le Jia was given by Le Weida.
Therefore, Le Weida knew very well how capable Le Jia was. The person in front of him could be any resident of the outer city, but it would definitely not be Le Jia.
However, the fact that the other party knew about Le Jia's existence and some of her circumstances meant that the two of them knew each other, so although Le Weida saw through Li Zheng's bullshit, he did not expose it and planned to return to the outer city to find Le Jia after a day.
Ask what's going on.
"It turns out he is from the Lotte tribe." The man who came with Le Weida breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to his side and said, "This person is also from the Lotte tribe. You two know each other, and we will get closer to each other in the future."
Li Zheng had long known that one of the Lotte people present was from the Lotte tribe, so he took advantage of the opportunity to say hello: "Hello, senior, I am Le Jia. I used to work at the Magic Crystal Shop in Block 7."
"Hmm." Le Weida responded with a calm voice, and introduced himself with emphasis: "My name is Le! Weida."
Li Zheng did not doubt that he was there and hurriedly replied: "It turns out to be Senior Weida. Nice to meet you."
Seeing that he had no reaction to his name, the sneer on Leweida's face grew even louder.
Hiding one's head and shrinking one's tail, using a false identity to cover up, there must be an ulterior motive!
