The view of the hospital was bleak and black and white, and Lu Ban felt that everything around him was distorting and shrinking.

He seemed to see the figures in the corridor, and the hungry poor people in the slums further away, the upper class people who were still drunk and partying, and the center of the abandoned city. In the tall tower, a woman in a fitted black cheongsam covered her face with a fan, leaving only her bright and beautiful eyes exposed. She seemed to be staring at Lu Ban.

The next moment, countless eyes appeared on Lu Ban's body.

From the tips of the fingers to the arms, to the arms, to the chest, densely packed eyes opened on the skin. The pupils of these eyes were different, as if they came from different people, or from different creatures.

All eyes were emotionless, staring blankly at Lu Ban.

Even Lu Ban's own eyes were staring at himself.

There was a buzzing sound in his brain, as if he was thrown into a big clock and hit it hundreds of times. Lu Ban felt a splitting headache. Those eyes began to look around again, and soon they began to converge towards Lu Ban's room along with the surrounding scenery. Those eyes closed again, and the skin was refreshed, as if nothing had happened.

But when Lu Ban's sight left, in the corner of his eye, he saw another unknown eye slowly opening in the corner of the skin, spying on everything.

Lu Ban couldn't be sure whether this was an illusion or reality.

In a flash, he returned to the room.

Those shadows that looked like eyes moved around, forming the cold and indifferent words of the system.

【Welcome to the quiet place again】

"Eighty percent exploration degree... so low."

Lu Ban let out a somewhat extravagant sigh.

Although for many God's Chosen Ones, an exploration degree of 80% at the difficulty of [Alienation] is already the limit, but in Lu Ban's opinion, an exploration degree of 80% is equivalent to exploring nothing.

"Something's wrong, why is it so low?"

Lu Ban thought about it. He and his friends have already found the murderer who killed Dr. House and solved the origin of the mud monster. Why is the exploration level so low?

He expanded his thinking and thought about what else he had not done.

"Although we know that the original body of the sludge is Liz's sister, named Aio, we have no contact with her. Even her name was picked up by Lao Cui who resonated with the sludge. Perhaps the mission is for us to explore the case through reasonable means and finally deduce the existence of Aio?"

"Although the apartment manager of Happy House doesn't know about the twins, we can get information about the previous manager from him and get Io's name?"

"The connection between the several people can only be known through Lao Cui's dream. According to normal means, it is already very difficult to find Flora, Tucker and Liz. Stone brought the information of the Sharp Knife Gang that day, which means they have archived it. Maybe we need to further promote the case and wait for two more people to die before closing it?"

"And that woman... huh? So, the bartender who broke his leg once saw a similar woman near the slums. She had almost nothing to do with the case, but she showed up when I came back. Is there any reason for that?"

"Lao Cui's dream girl, the singer, doesn't look special. She should have nothing to do with the mission, at least not this time."

"In the final analysis, why did Lao Cui's dream appear? This is the key to our solving the case. It's like cheating. If there is no dream, we may have to go around for several days. Is this the fundamental reason for the low exploration degree?"

"So this is what you mean, you can't get full marks even if you cheat?"

Lu Ban thought about it and felt that there were indeed many points in this mission that he had not fully explored, so this evaluation was not unfair.

After getting the points, Lu Ban was not in a hurry to look at the next career development task. After all, according to his thinking, the next step would be nothing more than some movie box office or award requirements, which was not much different.

He has two pressing things.

The first thing was to take advantage of Lao Cui's coma to search for "The Legend of Crane Ming's Ascension" from the Catania family. This was the refined material for his "Last Words". Now that the three materials were gathered and there were points, Lu Ban could choose to refine it to the next stage.

With the essence of [Last Words], the extraordinary power of this thing is becoming more and more obvious. Lu Ban is still looking forward to what special abilities it will have next.

Secondly, his accumulated silence points have exceeded 500,000, which means that his store can be upgraded and enter the next stage.

Lu Ban decided to refine his [Last Words] first.

He looked at his material.

The [Lucky Amulet] from Wadao, the [Pale Heart of the Winter Wolf] from the Kingdom of Night, and the [Legend of the Crane's Ascension] from the Ruined City.

Lu Ban flipped through the last book casually. It recorded the story of how Taoist Heming ascended to heaven. It was interspersed with many dreams, strange stories, and fabricated elements. After reading it, ordinary people would probably feel dizzy, as if their brains were punched by something.

After placing the three things on the table, Lu Ban opened the [Last Words] panel and selected [Essence].

【Essence】

【Sublimation and qualitative change】

[Spend resources in exchange for miracles]

【Recommendations】

[Required Silence Points: 200,000 points]

[Required materials: Lucky amulet]

[Required materials: Heming Feisheng Zhuan]

[Required materials: Pale Heart of Winter Wolf]

Two hundred thousand Silence Points were enough to buy two and a half [Small-Scale Natural Disaster Generators]. Fortunately, the effect of [Last Words] had no side effects on Lu Ban, and it had been of great use in several previous missions.

Compared to some unreliable and expensive props, this silver revolver is already a pretty good weapon.

Worth trusting.

It's impossible that the refinement fails and the enhancement will be reset to zero, right?

Looking at his +2 Ultimate [Last Words] and confirming his choice, Lu Ban clicked on the essence.
