Chapter 264 Blood and Emotions Sang Zhitao lay on the bed…
Sang Zhitao lay on the bed, but her thoughts turned to the two people who had just fought.
She had just sensed from the two people's supernatural abilities that the concentration of their "true" aura was much stronger than that of the injured who had fallen into the East District.
Sang Zhitao rubbed her fingertips on the small blanket for a long time.
"Why the expression?" Lin Mo saw her lying on the bed looking deep in thought, and after thinking for a moment, handed her a pastry.
After hesitating for a moment, Sang Zhitao said, "I sensed an evil aura in Kane and the others' abilities. I suspect that this aura is the reason for the birth of their abilities."
After a slight pause, she continued, "Jenna said that she discovered a special molecule in the human body, and the concentration of these molecules can affect the strength of superpowers."
"So you suspect that this special factor is the same as the evil aura you sense?" Lin Mo frowned as he looked at her.
Sang Zhitao nodded: "Mm."
Lin Mo sighed softly and patted the small blanket covering her: "Go to sleep first. You're tired enough today. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Sang Zhitao thought she couldn't sleep at all, but unexpectedly she fell into a deep sleep in no time.
The 1.5-meter-wide single bed looked unusually large against Sang Zhitao's petite frame.
Lin Mo pressed his temples. He really wanted to recall the past so that he could help Sang Zhitao in some ways.
After all, besides the one in the Spiral Tower, there's also Sang Zhi Tao, who's the only one who's lived for a full three hundred years.
The one in the Spiral Tower is likely an enemy. Sang Zhi Tao has been under surveillance and is still an immature child. Only I have experienced countless things and may be able to tell her some unknown secrets.
Lin Mo didn't doze off in bed until dawn.
After Sang Zhitao woke up, he got up immediately.
Now, due to the overall collapse of the eastern area, the world of pipes is like a skylight has been opened, allowing people to see what daylight looks like.
"This is what it feels like to be woken up by the sunlight~" Sang Zhitao stood at the entrance of the pipe, looking at the light outside, and the person next to her sighed.
"Ran Yue?" Sang Zhitao asked in surprise, looking at her.
"Yes, Brother Feng asked me to come find you," Ran Yue replied with a smile.
Sang Zhitao recalled that she had talked to Hanyue about the password before returning to her room yesterday, and knew that Hanyue must have told Ranfeng.
Without delay, she went straight to where Ranfeng was.
"Aren't you taking anything?" Lin Mo asked, somewhat surprised to see that her hands were empty.
Sang Zhitao glanced back at him and said with a hint of smugness, "I'm not stupid. Of course I'd carry something like that with me."
Lin Mo tapped her head speechlessly, then picked her up and said, "Alright, how long are you going to walk with those short legs? I'll carry you."
Sure enough, with Lin Mo carrying them, they arrived at Ran Feng's place in just three to five minutes, taking two steps at a time.
"The boxes are here." Ran Feng pointed to the stacked combination lock boxes.
Sang Zhitao took the small wooden box out of her pocket, and then took out a set of stickers with numbers engraved on them.
This password was 28 digits long, which made Sang Zhitao, who is not good with numbers and has a poor memory, try to guess it correctly seven or eight times.
"Aaaaah!! Why does every mistake mean going back to square one!" Sang Zhitao stared at the combination lock box in frustration, only kicking it after she opened it.
Looking at the many boxes behind her, she felt a real headache coming on.
"I'll get someone to come." Seeing her expression, Ran Feng chuckled and took the wooden box.
Sang Zhitao ignored him and instead opened the wooden box in front of her, revealing dozens of classic works inside.
“The Wind and the Blue... they seem to be world classics from your area,” Sang Zhitao said, flipping through the pages briefly before looking up.
“These are…” Ran Feng’s expression was rather unpleasant.
Sang Zhitao looked over curiously and saw that he was holding a novel with a brightly colored cover. Upon closer inspection, she saw that the cover had the words "The Romantic Widow" written in cursive script.
She couldn't help but twitch her lips. The friend Da Shu was talking about really had a taste that could be found in both grand halls and humble cottages.
"this!"
"Bang!"
The sound of Ran Yue slamming the box shut was accompanied by her face, which was as red as if it were dripping blood.
Taking advantage of her young age, Sang Zhitao crawled into the box and peeked inside.
Lin Mo and the others didn't react at first.
It wasn't until Sang Zhitao, who was holding the box lid with both hands and exclaiming with increasing excitement, realized that something was amiss.
"My Eighteen Years in the Countryside", "XX's XX", "XXXX", "My XX Wife"...
The novel, whose very title suggests a highly unhealthy nature, lay naked in the box.
After Lin Mo, Ran Feng, and Ran Yue came over, they all covered Sang Zhi Tao's eyes at the same time.
"Turn it off, turn it off!!" Lin Mo's usually calm voice trembled slightly.
"What are you afraid of? It's not like I haven't seen it before." Sang Zhitao impatiently tore Lin Mo's hand off.
"Where did you see this?! Who corrupted you?!" Lin Mo squatted down, grabbed Sang Zhitao's arms, and asked her with murderous intent.
Sang Zhitao patted his hand: "Don't worry, this is child's play~"
"You know about cuckoldry, fetishism, and even more niche experiences of death..." She opened her mouth and recited nearly ten niche fetishes, but gradually fell silent as Lin Mo's expression turned ugly.
"Aren't you her father?" Ran Feng pulled Sang Zhitao away from Lin Mo's hands and asked with a frown, "What kind of nonsense are you showing the child?"
Lin Mo choked, but couldn't help but retort, "This child has been raised and monitored by the Spiral Tower all along, it must be the Spiral Tower's fault!"
"Spiral Tower surveillance?! What's going on?" Ran Feng asked, frowning.
Lin Mo briefly described the information he found in the cabin.
"Those people at Spiral Tower are such hypocrites!"
"Exactly, a bunch of hypocrites."
“Every day they talk about how human nature is inherently good and needs to be taught, but they just say useless things.”
"If it were useful, we wouldn't have fought the Shadow Council for so many years."
...
Just as a group of people were criticizing the Spiral Tower, Kane and his companions arrived with Han Yue and overheard their conversation.
"Pfft, hahahahahaha!" Leo, standing next to him, laughed maniacally, ignoring Kane's ugly expression.
"Alright." Han Yue glanced at them helplessly and then said to Sang Zhitao, "I've told you everything."
After glancing at the books in the box, she said, "I thought you didn't have enough stories, but I didn't expect there to be so many here."
Sang Zhitao chuckled and said, "This is a treasure left behind by your ancestors."
“We’ll report this,” Kane said.
"I wonder if your Spiral Tower dares to publicize these stories, as they can weaken your abilities," Leo said sarcastically, glancing sideways at Kane.
Kane swept his gaze across him coldly: "The Spiral Tower respects the free will of living beings."
Leo gave a light scoff.
Everyone ignored their argument and looked only at Sang Zhitao.
Sang Zhitao tapped her chin: "I've made a discovery, and I need everyone's cooperation."
"What?" Han Yue looked at her curiously.
"I need you to use your abilities on the open space, and I also need the corresponding blood for each of you," Sang Zhitao said.
Although Han Yue didn't understand what she wanted to do, she didn't intend to stop her and simply nodded in agreement.
Not just anyone can use superpowers and draw blood.
Sang Zhitao categorized people into different types, such as those above and below ground, those with strong abilities and those with weak abilities, and those with good and weak emotional control, and then conducted experiments on them one by one.
"How did it go?" Han Yue asked Sang Zhi Tao, noticing that it was getting late. "Shall we continue tomorrow?"
Sang Zhitao shook her head: "No need, I know what I'm doing."
"Shall we have a meeting to discuss this?" Han Yue smiled gently.
Sang Zhitao nodded with a somewhat unpleasant expression.
Lin Mo held her in his arms with concern. Seeing him like this, Sang Zhitao patted his arm to comfort him silently.
"The baby from the baby team who's looking for her dad? What are you trying to say?" Leo finally turned his attention to Sang Zhitao and realized that she was someone he had seen before.
Lin Mo didn't have the memories Sang Zhitao had told him, so he subconsciously glared at her.
Just as Leo was about to make a joke, Han Yue gave him a warning look.
"Jenna, I remember your experiment found a special molecule in the body of a superhuman that determines the strength of their superpowers, right?" Sang Zhitao ignored their commotion and instead looked at the silent Jenna.
Jenna glanced at her in surprise and nodded.
Sang Zhitao then looked at everyone and said, "I believe that these molecules not only exist in the bodies of superhumans, but also in the air."
“I checked yesterday. The people in the Pipe World, whether they are positive or negative ability users, have very low levels of these substances, but their abilities are still very high.”
"The injured members of the Shadow Council and the Spiral Tower who fell here a couple of days ago have relatively low levels of this substance, but it is higher than that of the people in the Pipe World."
Then Sang Zhitao looked at Leo and Kane and said, "You newcomers have the highest levels of this substance in your bodies."
Sang Zhitao then looked at Jenna: "Contrary to what you think, the amount of superpowers in the body is related to the theft of superpowers. I believe that the strength of superpowers is also related to emotional control."
She pointed to Lin Mo behind her: "My dad, although his molecular content is low, has very high superpowers."
He then pointed to Han Yue: "The president is the same way."
"Moreover, I found that the lower the level of a person's blood sugar, the lower the rate of violent outbursts, and the easier it is for them to control their emotions."
After Sang Zhitao finished speaking, she looked around and observed the expressions on everyone's faces.
Kane's expression was serious.
Leo's expression was serious.
Jenna's expression, however, was full of interest.
As for Han Yue and Lin Mo, their expressions remained indifferent.
"Why is there such a big difference in the levels of these substances in the bodies of people from the Pipe World compared to ours?" Kane asked, frowning as he looked down at the data report prepared by Sang Zhitao.
Sang Zhitao sighed: "You've hit the nail on the head."
Before anyone could react, she continued, "I personally believe that these molecules exist in large quantities in the air, which is why there is such a big difference between the world of pipes and the ground."
“Air?” Jenna frowned. “If it’s air, the difference in data is too big, isn’t it? After all, the pipe world breathes the same air as the outside world.”
Sang Zhitao shook her head: "The world of pipes is too big. Most people live far away from the entrance. Even though they breathe the same air, there are still differences between them."
“Can’t it be soil?” Jenna asked curiously.
She picked up a piece of paper and handed it to Jenna: "Look, if it's soil, the soil in the Pipe World has almost no connection with the outside world. In that case, the content in the human body in the Pipe World should be close to zero."
“But…” Jenna still hesitated.
Sang Zhitao sighed: "This is just my guess."
"So what do you want...?" Everyone looked at her.
