Chapter 663: Marrow Cleansing! It has no health bar?!

First of all, the five senses are improving at a crazy speed.

The world before his eyes seemed to have been unveiled, revealing itself to him with unprecedented clarity and...strangeness.

Feng Mu looked up, his gaze easily penetrating the moist mist and falling on the white tiles on the opposite wall.

The tile is still the same tile, but in Feng Mu's eyes, it has become completely different.

It is no longer spotless, but covered with an extremely thin, yet extremely real... black air.

This black air is neither smoke nor a shadow, but more like a "background color" attached to the object itself, like decay and corruption, a silent and pervasive "pollution".

It's not strong, but as light as a trace of ink diluted a million times, but it carries an extremely uncomfortable, cold and dead smell.

Not just tiles!

Everything he saw was the polished mirror, the ceramic sink, the hanging towels, and even the toothbrush...

Everything in the room, including the thin water vapor slowly flowing and evaporating in the air, was covered with the same layer of faint black air.

They were everywhere, like a silent background radiation, filling the entire space and every corner he could see.

Feng Mu's heart skipped a beat.

What's this?

Before, even if he upgraded his perspective insight to level 3, turned on motion capture to level 3, and even used the newly upgraded Kaleidoscope Blood Eye, he had never been able to catch a glimpse of this strange black air.

It was like an underlying rule of the world that had always existed but was completely invisible to him in the past.

But now, things are different.

The three marrow cleansings seemed to have cleared the window paper that obscured his soul, forcing his eyes to a higher, or more "real" level of observation, allowing him to glimpse the terrifying "truth" that permeated the world.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand and tried to touch the black gas on the surface of the tiles.

His fingertips passed through unhindered, without any feeling, as if touching an illusory phantom, somewhat similar to the ghost he had created.

He circulated the Qi and blood in his body again, using the power of Qianchansi to attract the black Qi, but the result was the same.

The black gas seemed to exist in another dimension, in a strange "superposition state" with worldly matter. He could see it, but could not touch it in any physical form.

"Unreachable?"

Feng Mu was stunned for a moment, and a chill ran down his spine.

He concentrated his mind in disbelief, and the magatama-like lines deep in his pupils involuntarily accelerated their movement.

Kaleidoscope blood strip strange eye - open!

Something even more shocking and horrifying happened to him!

In his health bar vision, this omnipresent black energy, like the backdrop of the world... no health bar? ! !

It's not that the hidden health bar is displayed as [???], but it's completely empty!

This was the first time Feng Mu had encountered something with no health bar at all since he acquired this strange ability. It wasn't even [???].

[? ? ?] This means there is still a health bar, but he cannot see its length.

But the black energy is real...and the health bar is not lit.

what does that mean?

If we understand it from the perspective of the game, this means that the BOSS's health bar never lights up, and it is invincible.

Even if he wanted to use the imba ability of the blood bar strange eye attack to force -1 drop of blood to kill the black energy, he couldn't do it.

"What on earth is this black energy?"

Feng Mu's heart suddenly sank. He felt that at this moment he might have truly glimpsed the most terrifying secret of this lower city.

This is much more terrifying than being surrounded by monsters. After all, monsters will die if they are killed, but this black gas has no health bar.

"This world is indeed more dangerous than I imagined."

He shook his head violently, forcibly suppressing the throbbing in his heart, and looked at the mirror in front of him again.

The mirror reflected his reborn body. Fortunately, when he looked closely, he found that there was no strange black aura on his body.

His skin was smooth, his qi and blood were abundant, and he exuded a pure luster of life, which formed a sharp contrast with the dead black air in the surrounding environment.

“There should have been.”

Feng Mu immediately made a judgment.

"Three marrow cleansings, especially the last nirvana-like baptism, completely washed away the layer of black energy attached to my essence, along with the corpse poison and evil poison!"

"So, the black filth that I expelled earlier, which seemed to be alive and unwilling, was essentially a material manifestation of this black energy?

Or is it the 'sediment' produced by the black energy that has long polluted my body?"

Thinking of this, an even more horrifying question came to mind.

“However, I can understand that living things have filth in their bodies and are infected by this black energy.

But these dead objects - tiles, mirrors, walls... why do they also produce black air?

What exactly is this black energy? Even if it’s not alive, it must be alive… right? ! ! "

Feng Mu frowned tightly, and the joy and excitement brought by the upgrade were washed away by the strange black air that enveloped his vision.

Even if he himself has been cleansed and refreshed, if the entire world he lives in, from the air to the material things, is immersed in the dark "pollution"...

Then what's the point of him just cleaning himself?

Feng Mu's eyes darkened slightly. He subconsciously took a deep breath and then held it immediately.

He didn't even dare to breathe too hard, because he could "see" that the black air in the air would be inhaled into his lungs with his breathing, and even pass through the alveoli and merge into the blood.

And he is currently unable to stop this pervasive pollution.

He could stop eating the synthetic food in the downtown area, but could he stop breathing the air there?

A feeling of powerlessness and irritability came over me.

Feng Mu shook his head vigorously, temporarily suppressing these disturbing discoveries and speculations.

"Never mind. Today is a happy day after all. Let's not think about this problem for now. As long as my strength can continue to improve, sooner or later, all problems will no longer be problems."

Feng Mu could only comfort himself in this way.

The stunning visual changes brought great surprise, but also brought heavy worries. However, the subsequent auditory improvements seemed much more pure, with almost all strong positive feedback.

Feng Mu felt that the sensitivity of his auditory nerves had suddenly increased by more than a hundred times.

Through a thick wall, he could not only clearly hear the steady breathing of the person in the next room, but he could even hear the beating of the other person's heart and the faint sound of blood flowing in the veins.

He could hear the completely different friction tracks produced by the extremely slight wind outside the window as it passed over the surfaces of different objects, and he could hear the extremely slight vibrations of the leaves downstairs in the absence of wind.

And when he really concentrates and calms his mind, expanding the range of his auditory perception to the limit.

Buzz!

It was as if the volume switch of the whole world was turned on at the same time!

He could hear every movement in every household in the residential building.

The low mumbling of a couple in their sleep, the sound of a child grinding their teeth, the sound of water dripping from a faucet that was not closed tightly, the faint sound of electricity from electrical appliances in standby mode, and even some indescribable, suppressed gasps... countless fragments of sound came like a tide.

What’s even more amazing is that through the complex “sound field” formed by the propagation, reflection, and interweaving of countless sounds in the air, his brain seems to have become a supercomputer, automatically processing, restoring, and modeling the sound information.

In an instant, he had a clear outline of the three-dimensional structure of the entire building in his mind, as well as the approximate furniture layout, personnel locations and movement trajectories of each household.

All of this is achieved by listening to the almost inaudible "breathing" sounds and vibrations of the ubiquitous air flowing over the surfaces of different objects, thereby constructing high-precision acoustic imaging in the brain.

This was just like the spiritual scanning described in some novels about cultivating immortals, except that he relied on sound instead of mental power.

As a result, the images that appear in his mind are black and white, lacking color details but possessing amazing spatial precision and dynamic information.

However, the subsequent improvement in his sense of smell made Feng Mu somewhat unhappy.

His sense of smell has conservatively increased by more than ten times.

The direct consequence of this is that with every breath, a strong and disgusting mixed stench rushes into the nose.

He could even easily distinguish that this complex stench contained at least a dozen different odors.

The stench of old urine lingering in the cracks of the toilet, the putrid, marshy stench rising from the sewer, the gloomy, fishy smell of damp mold in the walls, the sour stench of rotting food wafting from the kitchen, the mixed smell of sweat and body odor from the person sleeping next door, and the rancid smell of rotting food in the distant trash can wafting in from the window...

There was really a variety of flavors, each with its own "flavor", which strongly impacted his overly sensitive olfactory nerves.

“…”

Feng Mu's mouth twitched and he was speechless for a moment.

He quickly controlled his blood and flesh, actively reducing the blood flow rate of the capillaries in the nasal mucosa and reducing the sensitivity of the olfactory nerves.

After some effort, he finally managed to suppress this extraordinary sense of smell to about three times its original level.

Although I can still smell a lot of strange odors, it has finally reached a level that I can barely bear and I won't be suffocated by the smell.

Feng Mu sighed deeply:

"It's really... hard to imagine. It turns out that upgrading sometimes doesn't always bring all benefits, but can also bring unpleasant side effects."

Is this a happy trouble?

In comparison, the improvement in touch and taste is not so prominent, but it becomes more sensitive and delicate, which is still within the controllable range.

This made Feng Mu feel a little disappointed, but also relieved.

Just when he had adapted to his new five senses.

boom!!!

A tearing pain coming from the deepest part of the soul suddenly erupted without any warning!

"Ugh!"

Feng Mu was struck by lightning at that moment. His whole body trembled violently, and his muscles were twitching wildly. His facial expression was instantly distorted, and the veins on his forehead and neck bulged out, which was terrifying.

Even with his rich experience of having died so many times and endured countless pains, he still found it difficult to endure this kind of severe pain that directly affected the essence of his soul. You can imagine how intense it was!

Feng Mu had experienced similar pain before.

It is the tearing feeling of the life level leap brought about by the injection of D-level gene injection and forcible breaking of the gene lock.

However, before, he would inject a needle at a time to break through one shackle.

And this time... it seemed like two shackles were being impacted at the same time? ! !

“Crack—”

“Crack—”

He could even clearly hear the hallucination of two almost overlapping sounds of the lock core breaking.

Obviously, the pain caused by attacking and tearing two genetic locks at the same time is far greater than attacking one alone.

It wasn't a simple one plus one equals two, but rather some kind of horrible chemical reaction. The pain index soared almost exponentially, more than tenfold.

“Huh…huh…”

Feng Mu was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe. His teeth were chattering and almost breaking. The pores all over his body closed and opened, and a dense layer of goose bumps appeared.

He almost fainted from the pain, but at the same time he laughed hysterically in the depths of his soul:

"Hahahaha——, God helps me!

As expected, the Marrow Cleansing Pill can also open locks. And it can open two locks at once. This saves me two D-level gene injections, a huge profit—"

At the same time, a strong sense of fear and relief surged in his heart.

Fortunately, I had already unlocked strength and agility through genetic injections.

Otherwise, if we rely entirely on the Marrow Cleansing Pill to attack four genetic locks at once?

Then, is he going to die in pain in the toilet tonight?!

The intense pain burned his soul, but also ignited the most intense fire in his eyes.

He stared wide-eyed, unblinking, at the attribute panel in the void that only he could see. The jumping and rising numbers were the best painkillers for him to fight the pain.

On the panel, data is refreshing and jumping frantically:

[You have completed the marrow cleansing!]

[Strength gains a certain increase↑↑]

[You have completed the marrow cleansing!]

[Agility gains a certain increase↑↑]

[You have completed the marrow cleansing!]

[My physical condition is undergoing an explosive leap↑↑↑↑↑]

[You have completed the marrow cleansing!]

[The spirit is undergoing an explosive leap ↑↑↑↑↑]

Because strength and agility have already been unlocked, the improvement of them by this marrow cleansing is relatively mild, and it only steadily increases them by a few points on their original basis.

But the physical and mental conditions are completely different. This is the first time to unlock it.

In addition, all the attributes that were previously "frozen" were completely liberated at this moment.

At this moment, the shackles were broken, the dam collapsed, and the huge attribute points that had been accumulated for a long time rushed out in an instant like a mighty flood.

The five arrows on the panel that are moving wildly upwards are the most intuitive proof!

Feng Mu stared at the wildly soaring values ​​on the attribute panel, his eyes as hot as erupting lava, and the corners of his mouth on his twisted and ferocious face were forced into an exaggerated and terrifying arc.

pain?

What's the pain?!

As long as I can gain a tangible increase in strength, as long as I can become stronger, even if the pain is ten or a hundred times greater, what is there to fear?!

How can a villain be afraid of pain?

Pain is the most abundant food for the villain's growth, and it is the sweetness that should be enjoyed the most!

"Let the pain come even more violently!"

The two extreme emotions of intense pain and ultimate ecstasy intertwined and conflicted wildly in his body, making his expression increasingly twisted and weird, as if he was crying and laughing, like a madman.

As if hearing his almost masochistic desire, the tearing pain from the depths of his soul suddenly increased by several levels.

At the moment when the pain reached its peak.

Another line of subtitles, as if catalyzed by this extreme pain, belatedly emerged with a hint of brilliance...
