Chapter 148: Strange Shell

connect?

The two of them naturally had many connections, but Chloe knew that wasn't what Hughes was talking about, and she finally shook her head.

"Do you feel that you have some kind of connection with me that caused me to lose control and even lose my memory?"

"Yes." Xius hesitated and did not mention the symbiotic contract.

He took advantage of the symbiotic contract's error in judgment and initially discovered that he and Chloe had established some kind of connection.

Hughes looked into Chloe's eyes. The blood in the corners of her eyes had already coagulated. Although the light was much brighter now, Hughes could still clearly see the light in her eyes.

The light was much dimmer now, and Xiusi could sense that she was not in a good mood.

"Has anyone ever told me that you have this kind of light in your eyes? It flickers."

"No, you know, I see a lot of people every day. If there is such an abnormality, they will tell me immediately." She patted her face uncomfortably. The blood had already solidified. "Do you want to wash it first? There is a lot of blood on you."

Hughes nodded, and Chloe took him around to the back of the church, where there was a well.

"I usually live here, that's the house over there, and I use this well for washing clothes and cooking. But now it's rarely used. There aren't many people coming to the church, so I basically go underground."

As she spoke, she threw the empty bucket into the well and scooped up water by pulling the rope.

"Speaking of which, I'm still a little curious. Why did you occupy the Candlelight Society's church?"

"It's safe. The Candlelight Society is still rich. They have taken a lot of protective measures for such a remote church. We can move in with a little renovation."

Safe? Living in the enemy's lair is still safe?

The corner of Hughes' eye twitched.

"Aren't you worried about being discovered?"

Chloe filled the bucket with water, tilted it slightly, and motioned for Hughes to come over and wash his hands.

"It's still hard for her to find us. There won't be any extraordinary people in a small church like this. Beatrice's coming here was just an accident, and she was notified in advance. To be honest, even if she really lives in the church, she may not be able to find us. The nymph's hiding ability is so strong."

After washing his hands, Hughes also helped her pour water. Chloe gestured to Hughes to pour the whole bucket of water directly over her head.

"Isn't this bad?"

"It doesn't matter. This suit is no longer wearable. It's so tattered. The bloodstains are hard to wash off."

Finally, she poured a bucket of water over her head, which diluted the blood on her face a lot.

"Come to think of it, when I first met you, I didn't see this strange light in your eyes."

"That's what happened later. What happened later? It seems like nothing, right?"

Chloe scratched her head. Her wet orange-red hair lay on top of her head, as if she was wearing a woolen hat.

But Hughes' eyes lit up.

He remembered that the two of them did establish a connection afterwards.

He purified the Lord of Moths and descended again into the body of the worker Zeus.

It was indeed during this recent period that he vaguely felt that the two of them had some connection.

The body of the Moth Lord can hear the prayers of his believers, which must mean some kind of connection, but he just doesn't know it yet.

Now it seems that this connection is gradually changing.

This is worth studying carefully.

Hughes looked at Chloe and realized that she was dripping with water all over. The nun's uniform was tightly attached to her body, and seemed to have shrunk and was stretched tight.

"Do you want to change your clothes? You might catch a cold."

"How is that possible? I'm a superhuman." Chloe waved her hand nonchalantly. "Do you think those curses were in vain? Superhumans are much stronger than mortals."

“Is this true for all pathways?”

"Yes, at least that's what I know. So the simplest way to judge whether a person is a transcendent is to see whether his physical strength is different from that of ordinary people."

"I see." Zeus looked down at his hands. He actually gained a lot of extraordinary abilities through the symbiotic contract, such as entering water, night vision, and judging the composition of objects, but he was still a mortal.

Sometimes he wondered if he could be considered a transcendent to some extent, after all, he had some extraordinary abilities.

But the standard Chloe set gave him an answer: he was still a mortal.

"Let's do this for now. You go and investigate this matter. I will check what changes have taken place recently. We can actually do this experiment again, but we have to be more careful. Next time we will go to the test site in the east."

"Okay." Chloe nodded and put her hair aside. "Then I'll go back first. You can call me if you have any trouble. Lina's body will be left there for now. You can come to me when you have an idea."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Oh, I almost forgot about this. He originally came here because of Lina's body, and this matter is also strange.

Could it be that he was influenced by her? After all, when the strange thing happened, Lina's body was also in the room.

Hughes hesitated for a moment and decided to remind Chloe.

"I always feel like there's something wrong with Lina's body. You should be careful. Can you control her in some way? A ritual, a seal, or something like that."

"You think something's wrong with her? What did you see?"

"I seemed to see her move."

Chloe looked a little surprised. She had checked the body many times and there was no way it could move. There was no soul inside it.

Hughes' tone was also hesitant, perhaps it was an illusion.

".Okay, I get it. I will be careful. Do you suspect that I am not normal today because of her influence?"

"I can't say." Xius suddenly remembered the word "Shell" that flashed through his mind when he pulled out his fingers.

Is this a subconscious hint to him, telling him to be careful of Lina's body?

Xius felt a chill on his back.

"You should take her to the eastern testing ground. There are many banshees guarding there, and there are even more extraordinary people. There's no harm in being careful."

Chloe glanced at him and said nothing, choosing to trust his instincts.

"Okay, I'll find someone to send her over, and I'll also strengthen my control over her."

Zeus nodded at her, and they both left with heavy hearts. Although they successfully purified the pollution in Chloe's body, her previous weird and out-of-control behavior was like a huge rock pressing on Zeus' chest.

[Shell], why does it remind him of the shell?

Shaking his head, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Zeus opened the mind link.

"Ash, how is the investigation going in the open sea?"

"That's bad, my Lord. Our troubles may not only be caused by the murlocs."
