Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Chapter 57 (Two in One)...
“It’s purifying, it’s really purifying!”
The observer standing in front of the screen wanted to burrow his head in it: "Luo Tianen's pollution value is rapidly decreasing!"
Everyone was shocked.
Everyone hopes that Luo Shi can really do it.
But no one expected that he would do it so quickly, so quickly that people were unable to react in time.
"Quick! Record the data! Write down all the data every twenty seconds!"
"First responders ready."
"Let's check Luo Shizhen's vital signs again."
Another observer quickly said, "The vital signs are normal. The heart rate is slightly elevated, but only slightly."
"You have to keep a close eye on it. If anything goes wrong, stop immediately!"
The officials in charge were already of high rank, but at this moment, looking at the scene in front of them, they all stopped and watched for more than ten seconds, and then hurriedly contacted their superiors.
Everyone present was busy. Some were busy checking data, ready to stop immediately if anything went wrong. Some people did not need to observe the data, but kept looking at the screen, then the data, then the vital signs. Some were also reporting to their superiors.
Only Chen Heyan did not move, his eyes behind the lenses staring straight at Luo Shizhen, his student.
Luo Shizhen had no idea how chaotic the outside world had become because of him; he was still immersed in "eating".
The taste of this roast chicken is different from the roast chicken I have eaten before.
It has a tougher texture, is chewier, and tastes more delicious.
Logically speaking, Luo Shizhen had eaten very full before and should not be able to eat anymore, but he was not affected at all.
After leading the black fog out little by little, looking at them floating in the air, it was as if a roasted chicken was shaking its head and tail at itself.
Luo Shizhen stared intently, and the white mist that surged out of his body turned into the image of a python, with a large bulge on his abdomen. It was obvious that the pollution he had swallowed before had not been digested yet.
But the python transformed from the white mist was visibly greedy. It had already rushed to Luo Tianen and was biting and swallowing the black mist on his body.
"This is……?"
The staff in front of the screen were shocked again: "Qi body transformation?"
"Only fifth-level energy users can achieve the Qi body transformation. He's only at the third level, or has he just reached the next level? How can he achieve it?"
"No, that's not right. This isn't a Qi body transformation."
Soon someone noticed something was wrong, and the older experimenter stepped forward and carefully looked at the 3D structure of the "white python" that was quickly analyzed.
"In the actual combat exercise these students participated in previously, the third-level Gu worm they were fighting against formed a giant python. The internal analysis of this python was exactly the same as the giant python in the video."
"Even if you don't notice it during normal times, the transformed part of the Qi body will be revealed when it moves. For example, the Qi body of an angel sequence will become a pair of wings when it awakens. Part of the Qi body of an awakened angel sequence looks like feathers."
"But you see, before Luo Shizhen came into direct contact with Luo Tianen, his Qi body had always been in a scattered chaotic state, without any changes in appearance. His current Qi body state is more like an imitation."
"His Qi body mimicked the appearance of a python he had seen face to face before, and also mimicked its attack capabilities."
"It's amazing. A supposedly harmless energy being, by mimicking the strange things he's seen, has developed his own aggressive nature. Rather than the ability to devour, I think it's more like a mimetic ability that can be used for personal gain."
Chen Heyan stared at the students on the screen.
Luo Shizhen's hand was on Luo Tianen, motionless. The giant python behind him bared its fangs, as if roaring silently.
"So, does this have any effect on his body?"
The older experimenter quickly said, "Don't worry, there doesn't seem to be any physical effects at the moment. This is the most amazing thing. It must be that the purification ability offsets the negative effects of the pollution."
Chen Heyan stared at the scene inside.
"Stop! Stop now!"
He shouted, and although the others didn't understand why, they immediately gave the order to stop.
"What's wrong, Mr. Chen? His vital signs and heart rate are normal."
Chen Heyan ran into the room anxiously: "That look is wrong!"
As a teacher who spends every day with Luo Shizhen, Chen Heyan knows very well what Luo Shizhen's eyes look like.
It is shiny black, seems to be curious about everything around it, and is non-aggressive.
But now Luo Shizhen's eyes were filled with a hint of emptiness.
Sui An in the room also noticed something was wrong and quickly pulled Luo Shizhen's hand away.
"Shi Zhen? Luo Shi Zhen?"
Luo Shizhen came back to his senses a little, smacked his lips, and looked up at Sui An slowly.
"Teacher Sui..."
Sui An: "I'm here."
Luo Shizhen said slowly: "You smell so good..."
Sui An didn't understand what this sentence meant, and saw Luo Shizhen buried in his arms with his eyes closed.
His breathing stopped, but fortunately, the next second, he noticed that the other person's vital signs were still normal.
Chen Heyan and others have already run over.
"How about it?"
Sui An: "He fell asleep. It was the same reaction as after he purified Lu Qiujin. It must be because he purified too much pollution, so his body automatically entered the protection stage."
"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're okay."
Chen Heyan was shaking all over and hurriedly took Luo Shizhen from Sui An's arms.
He doesn't look very strong, but he is an awakened person after all. He can easily carry someone and carefully check if Luo Shizhen is feeling unwell.
Sui An subconsciously wanted to reach out to stop them, but he didn't, and let Chen Heyan take the person in his arms away.
"Strange, his vital signs are apparently stable."
"Come and check again, what went wrong?"
"Teacher, look here."
Everyone looked up and saw the white python.
Luo Shizhen's hand had clearly left Luo Tianen's body, and he himself had entered a sleeping state, but the white python was still unaffected and was still swallowing the pollution.
Luo Tianen had already regained most of his consciousness, and his face had regained some human appearance. He looked at this scene:
"Send me away, isolate me quickly. If the purification continues like this, his abilities might be overloaded!"
Luo Shizhen began to feel a little full.
But although I felt full physically, I strangely didn’t feel full mentally at all. On the contrary, it was as if there was another self in my head shouting, “Eat! Eat! Eat it all!”
The meaning of eating up does not only refer to the black fog in front of him, but also seems to include Luo Tianen, the ironwork that binds him, and the pillar supporting the beam of the house.
He seemed to have his eyes closed, yet he seemed to be able to see everything. He saw a group of people taking him to the medical room, he saw Teacher Chen carefully stroking his cheek, and he saw Teacher Sui standing by his bed with a frown on his face.
A group of awakened staff gathered nearby.
But he just felt that they all smelled so good.
They all look delicious.
The next second, Luo Shizhen shuddered and woke up.
How could he think the teachers looked delicious? It must be that during the purification process, he was also polluted.
Fortunately, the contamination has not been complete, and Luo Shizhen no longer feels that Teacher Chen smells good.
He not only wants to eat everything he sees.
And... there was a breath lingering on Luo Tianen, which seemed to come from far away.
If the fragrance on Luo Tianen's body is like a carefully cooked roast chicken placed at the school gate, tempting parents who come to pick up their children to buy one to take home.
The aura that lingered on him was like that of a native chicken that had been foraging for insects all over the mountains since its breeding period, never eating chicken feed, and had a strong body and firm chicken.
The surface is baked golden, shiny, and crispy. The chicken inside is chewy, tender and juicy. Every fiber tightly locks in the gravy, exuding an extremely tempting aroma.
It smells so good.
Luo Shizhen is not picky about food.
He also likes to eat raised chickens (the pollution in Luo Tianen).
He also wants the free-range chicken.
It smells even better than fried prawns. Once you smell it, it will linger in Luo Shizhen's nose, making him want to swallow it in one bite.
But there was only the taste, not the real thing, so he couldn't swallow it even if he wanted to.
As he swallowed more and more pollution, Luo Shizhen felt that the smell was more and more delicious.
It reminded him of the flock of free-range chickens that his grandmother used to raise. These chickens were free-range and the door had to be closed when catching them. If a chicken accidentally slipped out, it might not come home because it was frightened before.
What did Luo Shizhen do at that time?
He chased after it swiftly, caught up with the local chicken, brought it home, and made a pot of delicious chicken soup.
Now...it's the same, right?
Luo Shizhen was thinking vaguely, and as he smelled the fragrance, he felt as if he was floating in the air.
Hey, it didn’t seem like he was just feeling dizzy, it seemed like he was really floating.
Luo Shizhen had a very strange feeling. He seemed to have become bigger, very big, bigger than Yongzhou and even bigger than Luoxia City.
A wisp of white mist slowly rose up, soon becoming transparent and disappearing, passing through the laboratory ceiling and going all the way out, following the fragrant smell, flying over the mountains and rivers at an astonishing speed.
Cities, mountains, rivers, farmlands, these scenes were quickly passed by Luo Shizhen. Now he had nothing in his eyes but the fragrant roast chicken.
Roast chicken roast chicken roast chicken roast chicken.
After crossing countless cities, Luo Shizhen saw a huge angel.
His body was enormous, with huge white wings spread out. His height alone was at least a thousand meters. He sat on a mountain, and the tall peak was just a seat for him.
As if he saw Luo Shi really coming, his drooping eyes slowly opened, and his gaze fell on him from a long distance, as if he was observing him.
In the past, Luo Shizhen would definitely look at him curiously, but now, his mind was full of roast chicken, roast chicken, roast chicken.
Luo Shizhen ignored the angel and followed the smell directly, impatiently landing on a mountain. As he drifted for longer, his memory and mind gradually became blurred, and he became "Him".
Inside the mountain, a toad head with crooked human limbs was plucking an arm from a corpse and stuffing it into itself, trying to insert it more correctly.
Its body was also covered in a sticky liquid, containing the same venom. The ground was littered with human remains, and some small poisonous toads nearby were gnawing on them.
Some small poisonous toads started fighting for food. The loser lost a leg, and several other poisonous toads rushed forward, dismembered and ate the toads, and soon not even a bone was left.
When the toad man saw this scene, he showed a look of disgust.
A poisonous toad on his shoulder was spewing black mist and laughing:
"You still despise them, but weren't you once a human? Aren't you still killing your own kind?"
"I am not the same as lower creatures like humans! I will become the supreme being!"
Toadhead spoke in a very unclear manner, his tone was sometimes drawn out, sometimes rapid, and sometimes in the middle of his speech, his voice would turn into the cry of a toad.
He shook his head and his face skin fell off. He quickly pressed it back on and tore off a human face skin to cover his own face.
The black toad on his shoulder spoke clearly, even more clearly than this pre-human:
"You humans say you don't eat your own kind, but for all sorts of strange reasons, you still kill your own kind."
"We weirdos are different. All weirdos follow the principle of the big eating the small, and the small eating the smaller. This is the law of survival. These little toads devour each other to gain more power, but they don't realize that to me, they are just food."
As it spoke, it stuck out its tongue, quickly rolled up a few small toads into its mouth, and chewed them a few times, as if they were snacks.
The Toad Man showed a look of disgust: "You're... disgusting."
"Before you start talking about me, you should take a look in the mirror first. If I hadn't been parasitic on you, you would have been hit by a car and died long ago. Stop gossiping here and go find me more food."
The Toad Man slowly lowered his head, picked up a doll's coat, and put it on himself:
"I've already tricked so many people for you. When will you give me the power to surpass humans? I want to be as powerful as you!"
The black toad chuckled: "That depends on how much food you can bring me next time."
The black mist on its body continuously flowed into the Toad Man's mind. As more black mist flowed in, the Toad Man's movements became slower. On the contrary, the black Toad knew more and more of his memories.
In about three days, this body will be completely replaced by the black toad and become its shell.
The black toad felt a little regretful, because the body it had set its eyes on before was not this useless human.
It was a fifth-level awakener with a strong physique. It was a good body and the best body it could have at this stage.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain in the end.
After finally contaminating the human, a few awakened humans appeared and rescued the human, and seriously injured it.
It was forced to hide in the mountains to recuperate in a hurry, relying on such a useless human for food.
But...it doesn't matter.
That strong human has been contaminated by it. As long as he is not dead, once its wounds have healed, he can follow this breath and pursue it all the way to regain his body.
The black toad looked at the broken limbs on the ground, wrapped its tongue around an arm and quickly swallowed it, with a look of satisfaction in its bulging eyes.
It loves this place so much. The food here is plentiful and small, so it can eat its fill without much effort. The powerful adults are all asleep, so it doesn't have to worry about being eaten.
The only trouble is that group of annoying awakened people will be hunted down by these humans as soon as they show their heads and eat a few people.
Fortunately, it is a parasite and does not need to show up. It can find a lot of food by manipulating some humans.
The black toad stared at the body of the parasitic human with disgust, thinking that the knowledge in his head was too shallow. His mind was full of finding women, making a fortune, and traveling back to ancient times to start a harem.
Eating his memory doesn't seem to help him understand humans at all.
What a waste of energy!
Thinking about the memory of human education in his mind, the black toad decided that his next target would be to find a powerful human to parasitize.
For example, in human memory, there are people sitting on TV talking about how they are experts in treating certain diseases, and their ancestors have been doing this for many generations.
It is said that he can specialize in treating more than a dozen diseases. In the memory of waste humans, the expert appears in different interview scenes, and you only need to dial the human hotline to contact him.
This expert must have a lot of human knowledge. Next, let’s devour his memory.
The toad man, wearing a doll coat, staggered and prepared to walk out slowly, but suddenly, he stopped.
"What does this...feel like?"
"It's so scary, like drowning... It's like there's water all around me, squeezing me so hard I can't breathe..."
Toadhead felt the same way: "Idiot! This is level suppression! There are stronger ones than us nearby! Take me away!"
The Toad Man didn't move at all, his voice shrill with fear:
"I can't move! I can't move!!"
The black toad understood him because it couldn't move either.
No, it shouldn't be.
Those powerful forces should be sleeping. Even if they wake up, they should not come to such a remote place.
Wouldn’t the combined population of a large city taste better than this?
The toad man knew nothing. He only knew that the fear from the bottom of his heart almost crushed him. Not only could his body not move, but even his gradually rotting heart seemed to be squeezed by external force and kept shrinking.
"Help! Help! I don't want to be weird anymore! Let me go! I want to be human again!!!"
--Bang!
With a small crisp sound, his already polluted heart, facing the powerful aura, could not withstand the pressure and exploded.
The Toad Man stared wide-eyed, unable to comprehend. Hadn't he been aided by some external force? Shouldn't he have been gifted with a golden finger, becoming a leading figure from that moment on? How could he die just like that?
The doll fell heavily to the ground, and the black toad held its breath, its body stiffening.
I don’t know who the important person is who is coming. I don’t know if it’s too late to kowtow at the mountain gate and express my willingness to surrender at this time.
It looked out cautiously through the gap in the doll.
But all I saw was a cloud of white mist.
There are no rules or regulations, no boundaries or forms.
The black toad felt hopeless in an instant.
“You…it’s you…”
It no longer had the will to escape or beg for mercy, and it squeezed out a weak, shrill voice of fear:
"Aren't you dead? Weren't you suppressed? How could you be here? No! How could you be here?!"
Bai Wu looked at it and should have swallowed it immediately, but facing the humanoid object in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and walked around hesitantly.
For some unknown reason, He didn't want to eat human-shaped objects.
The black toad was even more shocked: "You, you are listening to me? You have a brain? No! You have a soul?! How can you have a soul!"
Bai Wu finally followed the voice and found that the person speaking was not a humanoid object, but a toad hiding inside.
The black toad was still trying to persuade Him:
"My Lord, my Lord, do you understand? Let's discuss this. You can go eat others. They are more delicious. They are more delicious than me. I know that several Lords are here too! I know where those Lords are sleeping. I will take you to find them. Don't come over here, don't come over here!!!"
The mountains and forests returned to silence again.
The white mist stayed where it was, and looked at the small black toads on the ground without being picky about food, with only a little dirt on their bodies.
He swept through, and the figures of the little black toads quickly disappeared in the white mist.
Bai Wu had no concept of being full and still shifted his gaze back to a tree next to him.
A few seconds later, the forest turned into an open space, and even the soil was eaten clean.
Only some human remains remained.
The white mist was floating not far away, and his instinct told him that everything was his to eat.
But it seemed as if another voice was preventing Him from eating these remains.
Bai Wu hesitated and circled around the stump, wanting to eat it but inexplicably not wanting to.
It seemed as if there was a short, thin figure of the same type as these stumps always in front of him. She had white hair, a face full of wrinkles, wore cloth shoes, had a slightly hunched body, and looked at Him with a smile.
Bai Wu was dazed. He couldn't tell the difference between memories and the scene before his eyes. He wanted to touch her, but after flying out, he hit nothing.
This was too strange. Bai Wu couldn't figure it out, so he continued to circle around the stump.
——Cuckoo!
A little toad, which was lucky enough not to be contaminated, jumped out of the pond.
The toad's eyesight was so poor that it could hardly see anything still, and it didn't notice any danger outside. It just lay by the pond, croaking.
The white mist was attracted and floated over, but did not swallow it. A wisp of white mist picked it up, as if observing it.
In my mind, a kind voice said:
“Beautiful things make me happy just by looking at them.”
pretty--
Bai Wu stared at the little toad in front of him and slowly put it back to the edge of the pond.
"Cuckoo!"
The little toad was frightened, screamed, and jumped into the pond with a splash.
The water splashed and the mist formed a very short-lived, almost invisible small rainbow in the sunlight.
The white fog stared again.
pretty--
What to do now?
He floated blankly by the pond.
Eat, want to eat, must eat, eat everything.
Bai Wu vaguely knew that he should now use this pond as a base point and swallow everything he saw into his stomach. He should eat all the way and eat everything he touched, whether alive or dead.
But it stared at the butterfly that flew over to the pond at some point in time, and it didn't want to move. It just wanted to stare at the butterfly flapping its wings and flying.
The butterfly flew closer, but Bai Wu retreated slightly in response to the food that was delivered to his door.
He watched the butterflies fluttering lightly and landing on the leaves in the pond.
A picture seemed to flash through his mind, a slightly hunched figure wiping his saliva:
"We'll have delicious food when we get home. Let's not eat anything else but rice."
go home--
What is home? Can you eat it? It must be delicious, right? That's why it wants to go home so much.
The white mist no longer hesitated, letting go of the pond butterflies and the little toad, and rushed up.
When passing by the angel, the archangel, who was a thousand meters tall, looked at its departing back quietly and slowly closed his eyes.
——Eternal daylight.
Luo Shizhen suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, hugging the quilt.
"Shi Zhen? How are you? You scared me to death!"
Chen Heyan had been waiting by the bed. Seeing that he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and hugged the student.
Luo Shizhen was held obediently and swallowed his saliva: "Teacher, I'm fine. Is that uncle okay?"
"He's fine now, conscious, and his alienation level has dropped to 57%. Even if you don't purify him next, he might be able to be purified by other energy users in his current state."
Chen Heyan was completely soft-hearted. "Why don't you ask yourself what's wrong? The examination said that your ability has reached the threshold and your body has entered self-protection mode. Fortunately, you just fell asleep and there are no other injuries."
Luo Shi was really a little embarrassed: "It's okay, teacher, I want to eat."
Chen Heyan was stunned. "Food? What food? What do you want to eat? I'll ask the canteen to make it right away."
"Just the usual meals we eat at home, rice, vegetables, meat and so on."
Chen Heyan touched his head and said, "Okay, I'll let the cafeteria do it. Shi Zhen, next time you purify, if you feel you can't stand it, just stop. Fortunately, you just fell asleep. If something happened to you, the teacher would not have lived in vain."
Luo Shizhen chuckled and shook his head: "I'm fine, just a little sleepy, I even had a dream."
"Hmm? What dream?"
Luo Shizhen thought about it and smiled embarrassedly:
"I can't remember, but it seems like grandma called me home for dinner."
In the dream, I seemed to be chasing a roast chicken, but I ate the roast chicken too quickly and couldn’t taste it. I just remember that it looked delicious before I ate it.
Chen and Yan paused.
He had read Luo Shizhen's information and naturally knew that the child had been raised by his grandmother since childhood. After his grandmother passed away, he lost his last relative in this world.
Chen Heyan controlled his expression and smiled gently.
"I remember that I can cook, but it may not be as delicious as what a chef makes. I can only make some home-cooked dishes. Can the teacher make them for you?"
Luo Shizhen was surprised: "Okay! Thank you, teacher!"
He didn't expect to be able to eat the meal made by the teacher. He turned over and tried to get out of bed: "I can help, I'm also a good cook."
Chen Heyan did not refuse. He watched him come down with a smile and looked at Sui An.
"Teacher Sui, why don't you come and help me? Learn some cooking skills so you can cook for the students in the future."
Sui An, who couldn't cook, paused again and again.
He grew up eating in the cafeteria, and he couldn't even cook rice, let alone cook.
Chen Heyan looked at Luo Shizhen's back as he excitedly went to the dressing room to change clothes:
"Teacher Sui, Shi Zhen is very dependent on the people around him and loves to eat. The food made by those close to him has a different meaning to him."
"My suggestion is that if you want him to enter the Silver Cocoon, you can learn cooking now. When necessary, he will be very happy to have the food cooked by the people around him."
The broad-shouldered, long-legged man nodded as if he had received a request.
"I will learn."
Half an hour later, thanks to the efforts of Teacher Sui, a small fire broke out in Yongzhou's kitchen.
