Chapter 165 Chaos Block No. 13 (22) Gaining fighting ability...
"Chief Gao! Chief Gao!"
Hearing the call, Gao Mengtang slowly opened his eyes, and hanging before his eyes was Wei Xiangchen's deathly pale face.
"Why did you faint? I was scared to death." Wei Xiangchen patted his chest.
Gao Mengtang smiled with effort: "I'm dead, shouldn't you be happy?"
yes.
Why worry about the leader of the enemy camp?
Wei Xiangchen suddenly came to his senses: "Don't try to seduce me, I will not leave Heiou."
Gao Mengtang:?
don't know.
He lay on the ground, his thoughts slowly coming back to him. Why was he lying on the ground? He just did... did his hair!
Use hair to refine soul gems!
"Didn't I tell you to close your eyes?" Gao Mengtang sat up in a panic. "I don't want others to see my bald head... Hey, I still have hair."
Not only is it there, it is also very thick and can be tied into a ponytail, which is too thick to be held in one hand.
"The refining furnace only took more than 200 strands of your hair." Wei Xiangchen said, "The soul resides in the brain, and the hair contains the soul code. The research notes record that most moon creatures lose more than half of their hair when refining soul gems."
"Your situation is very special," Wei Xiangchen flipped through the mini notebook, "Only a small amount of your hair was taken away, which means, first of all, your soul is strong enough."
Wei Xiangchen flipped through a few more pages, as if he couldn't quite believe it: "Secondly... your soul is incomplete. Especially incomplete."
"Hmm, is that so?" Gao Mengtang looked for a mirror everywhere.
Hairstyle and other things are more important than the completeness of the soul.
Although only more than 200 hairs were removed, what should we do if they were only removed from a small area and he developed alopecia areata?
Wei Xiangchen went to clean up the machine after refining the gemstone. Black hair can also be used. I don't know if it's because of the wrong color, the soul gems refined are fragments, and they are still relatively small.
After hearing the system prompt "Congratulations on obtaining the item [Soul Gem Fragments x4]", Wei Xiangchen felt relieved. All that was left to do was to glue the gems together so that they could be used.
"You can leave now." Wei Xiangchen said, and when he turned around, he saw Gao Mengtang with his back to him, holding a mirror in the room and looking left and right at his face.
Wei Xiangchen was stunned for a moment, and the waxy skin around his eyebrows wrinkled: "Chief Gao, why is your hair color..."
Just three minutes ago, Gao Mengtang had medium-length black curly hair, but as soon as he turned his head, his hair had turned into long straight silver hair.
"What's going on?" Gao Mengtang turned his head. When their eyes met, Wei Xiangchen took another breath.
The color of his eyes also changed, the sclera turned light gray, like a cold ice cube, with a small black pupil in the middle, staring coldly at Wei Xiangchen. His slate-gray eyebrows were furrowed, making his skin look even colder and paler.
"Please explain to me what's going on?" Gao Mengtang repeated.
Wei Xiangchen flipped through his mini notebook quickly: "Um, I don't know. Maybe it's a side effect. I'll go back and check it out."
After listening to his explanation, Gao Mengtang said softly, "Is that so?" and continued to look at his face in the mirror. His face was exactly the same as that of the Twelfth Prince.
"I am also very beautiful with silver hair and gray eyes, right?" Gao Mengtang said while looking in the mirror.
Wei Xiangchen: “…Yes.”
Somehow, Gao Mengtang just changed his hair and eye color, but he seemed like a different person.
The smile was no longer filled with amiable kindness, but rather... rather... Wei Xiangchen found it difficult to describe the feeling.
When Wei Xiangchen saw Gao Mengtang put the mirror back to its original place gracefully and calmly, he suddenly remembered a word: charity.
I mean no harm, but you should be flattered if I smile at you.
It was so strange. Wei Xiangchen suspected that he was getting senile and confused.
After leaving Epiphyllum Ridge, the two took the bus again and traveled around the city.
"It seems that this was not the road we took when we came here." said Gao Mengtang.
Wei Xiangchen: "Really? Old people don't have very good memory. Did you take bus No. 202 when you came here?"
Gao Mengtang: "I didn't notice."
20 minutes later.
Gao Mengtang: "This is really not the way to go."
They are lost.
"I will take you out." Wei Xiangchen turned into a cloud and lifted up Gao Mengtang.
Another 20 minutes passed.
They circled back to Epiphyllum Ridge.
Gao Mengtang smiled helplessly: "It's three o'clock in the morning, I want to sleep."
"I remember there is a map of Fulin in Epiphyllum Ridge. Let's go look for it." Wei Xiangchen walked in again.
Gao Mengtang looked at his back, sighed, and followed him in silently.
One hour later.
"Why don't we sleep on the floor here for the night!" Gao Mengtang suggested with a smile.
Wei Xiangchen: "I don't need to sleep."
A story of two people, only one gets hurt.
The Fulin and the copy world are connected by a narrow door, but the opening point of the narrow door is only at the place where they came in.
Think of it another way. As long as you can open the narrow door by yourself, you don’t have to look for the way around and can go back directly.
"How about opening a narrow door directly?" Gao Mengtang put his hands together, "This is Epiphyllum Ridge, there should be an instrument to open the narrow door."
Wei Xiangchen thought for a moment and said, "Yes, it is here. Please follow me."
They returned to the Epiphyllum Ridge Auditorium, went up to the third floor, pushed open a door, and the smell of incense filled the air, as if they had entered a thousand-year-old temple.
Hundreds of niches were dug out on the walls of the room, and in each of them was a dark mass. When you get closer, you can see that they are actually mini dolls.
Wei Xiangchen said that these are the young of the [Ancestral Giants].
The Ancestral Giant is a special life created by the Supreme Order. It is mainly used to protect the safety of the Wise King and maintain law and order in the other world. Its function is equivalent to that of the Iron Lady in the copy.
The creatures of the inner world are regarded as gods and worshipped by humans in the outer world. They also have another function: to communicate with believers in the outer world.
In the war in the other world, after the death of the giants, the remains of the ancestors were left behind, which became the necessary props for upgrading in the Black Tower game. Due to the different degrees of completeness and energy residue, the remains of the ancestors are divided into 1-9 levels.
The experiment in the Black Tower at Epiphyllum Ridge preserved some young ancestral giants in case of emergency.
Gao Mengtang picked up a small ancestor giant, which was only the size of an egg and had a metallic skin.
"Can the young giant open the narrow door?" Gao Mengtang asked.
Wei Xiangchen flipped through his notes: "Yes, the Ancestral Giant is also responsible for monitoring the surface world, but opening the narrow door requires certain conditions..."
While he was flipping through his notes, Gao Mengtang poked the doll in his palm. Suddenly, the doll opened its chin and said crisply, "Please confirm your identity information."
Gao Mengtang almost threw the doll away.
"Please confirm your identity information!" said Wawa.
"You scared me." Gao Mengtang poked its chest even harder.
Wei Xiangchen closed the mini notebook and said, "Well... to open the narrow door, you need to pass the identity verification of the internal employees of Tanhualing. How about you take a nap first and look for the exit tomorrow?"
On the other side, Gao Mengtang was still poking the puppet. One of the puppet's hands fell down with a thud, and its jaw opened and closed: "Please confirm your identity information."
A USB port was exposed at the broken wrist.
An internal employee of Tanhualing...Bu Xiaoting.
Gao Mengtang somehow thought of Bu Xiaoting's USB flash drive. He rummaged through the glove box for a long time, took out the USB flash drive, and tentatively inserted it into the port on the broken wrist.
"Key activated."
"Identity verification in progress."
"Identity confirmed. Welcome back, Class A researcher - Heimuhe."
The giant juvenile chuckled, "Good evening, thank you for taking the time to think about work while you're busy with your wife."
The USB flash drive connected to the broken wrist gradually disintegrated, like a mecha warrior transforming, and turned into a silver-white skeleton hand with long nails.
The surname "Hei" is not very common.
It is reasonable to suspect that Hei Yan Kai is related to Sha Mu He. Moreover, could the "wife" mentioned by the ancestor's young body be Bu Xiaoting?
"Who is my wife?" Gao Mengtang asked.
"Hehe, why are you asking me who your wife is?" the young ancestor said lively, "Your dear Xiaoting."
It's true. The man Gao Mengtang saw in the illusion was Hei Muhe.
This is not Bu Xiaoting’s USB flash drive, but Hei Muhe’s USB flash drive.
The skeleton hand tightly grasped one of Gao Mengtang's fingers. The ancestor's young body made a few jokes and then returned to a serious tone: "Please enter the command."
"Open the narrow door?" Gao Mengtang asked tentatively.
“It’s being tested.”
"Test completed. You have [1] remaining number of times to open the narrow door. Do you want to open it?"
"Reminder: The [key] is very old and has been severely damaged. It has not been maintained for many years and has insufficient stored energy. The narrow door may be unstable. To ensure your safety, it is recommended to open the low-level narrow door."
The order of the narrow gates is: surface world → copy world → border area → inner world. The direction can also be reversed.
A high-level narrow door can lead directly from the surface world to the inner world, while a low-level narrow door can only pass through one world. The Fulin is the border between the dungeon and the inner world.
"Open it," Gao Mengtang really wanted to go back to sleep. Besides, the USB flash drive had been damaged before, and if it wasn't used now, its function would deteriorate over time. "Open the narrow door and connect to the dungeon world."
"I am following the instructions."
"Keep your keys?"
Gao Mengtang: “Yes.”
A white light appeared out of nowhere, expanding in all directions to form a narrow rectangle. This stunned Wei Xiangchen.
"Zizi, please, keep it, zizi, your key." The doll twitched and leaked electricity. The USB flash drive was too badly damaged, causing it to malfunction. "Goodbye, zizi, Class A researcher, zizi, Hei Muhe."
With a crack, the doll's hand broke, and the skeleton hand made of a USB flash drive was still holding Gao Mengtang's left ring finger.
System: "Congratulations on obtaining the special item [Activation Key [Severely Damaged]]"
[Activated Key [Severely Damaged]] Item Description: This is an activated key, but due to long-term lack of maintenance, some functions are unusable and you cannot use it to control the Ancestral Titan. Some basic functions are not affected, such as injecting sedative toxins and relaxing tense souls to reduce the speed at which your spirit value is consumed at the border.
Note: To replenish the soul-calming toxin, grind the remains of your ancestors into ashes and sprinkle them on the key.
Most of the employees in Epiphyllum Ridge are humans. They often cannot withstand the mental pollution of the laboratory. [Soul Calming Toxin] is of great help to them.
But for Gao Mengtang...it seems to be useless.
His mental state is very stable.
The skeleton hand clasped on the ring finger looked like a ring and was quite beautiful. Gao Mengtang touched the ring and a roulette wheel appeared in front of him.
One was a black icon of [Soul Calming Toxin], with a pillow and a quilt drawn on it, like a cozy bedroom. However, in a dark corner, there was a pale ghost face.
Another icon is [Antidote], which is a sun.
The detailed description of the skill is: Soul Calming Toxin is also a toxin. If you are in a state of soul relaxation for a long time and lose the restraint of reason, the evil in the depths of your soul will get out of control. Please use this item reasonably.
There is a battery symbol in the upper left corner, which indicates that you can inject about 5 toxins and 5 antidotes.
Gao Mengtang stroked the ring, placed the roulette cursor on the [Cancel] key, and walked through the narrow door with Wei Xiangchen.
*
Wei Xiangchen turned into clouds and sent Gao Mengtang back to the old mansion.
On the way back, Gao Mengtang took out his phone and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you. Let's add your contact information."
Wei Xiangchen declined politely: "If you add me as a friend today, you can steal me away tomorrow, and the whole Heiou will be yours the day after tomorrow. I dare not add you."
Gao Mengtang: ...
Slander! Rumor!
At this time, He Lun sent a message.
: Brother, Mr. Wei is very ill. What should we do? I am so worried.
Gao Mengtang frowned and said, "I'm not going back to the old mansion. I want to go see Wei Wei. Go to the temporary office building of the Court of Justice."
"I'm not a Didi driver." Wei Xiangchen seemed resentful.
Gao Mengtang sighed pretentiously: "You are not my subordinate, but you are disobedient. It seems that I have to consider recruiting you into Yuefan."
"We'll be there in ten minutes." Wei Xiangchen said immediately.
The temporary office building of the court is a suburban villa. There are no surveillance cameras, but there are many patrols.
To Wei Xiangchen, it was useless because he could hypnotize NPCs, and as a soul, he would not leave any energy fluctuations of the black tower.
A skinny finger with long black nails was raised in front of the lips, and a soft hushing sound was made. Hundreds of NPCs immediately fell to the ground.
They arrived at Wei Wei's special ward without any obstruction.
"You wait here, I'm going to see Wei Wei." Gao Mengtang said.
Wei Xiangchen: “Yes.”
Only after the ward door was closed did Wei Xiangchen come to his senses.
What was he doing? Helping the leader of the enemy camp with all his heart and soul, but sending him to meet a traitor from his own camp?
Gao Mengtang has brainwashed me. Wei Xiangchen suddenly became terrified.
*
In the ward.
Wei Wei had just sent away three waves of courtroom staff who came to visit him. He looked weak on the outside, but was cursing in his heart.
Pretending to be sick is also tiring.
Just when I was about to take a break, the door of the ward creaked and was pushed open again.
"Ahem." Wei Wei immediately began to perform. His eyes were slightly closed, his brows were tightly knitted. It seemed as if he would die in the next second.
There were light footsteps, followed by the sound of a chair being dragged, and the man sat down beside his bed.
Wei Wei still had his eyes closed, pretending to be unconscious, and muttered in a low voice: "City gate...southwest..."
A slightly cool hand gently held Wei Wei's hand that was not pierced with a retention needle.
Wei Wei took the opportunity to tightly grasp the hand, like a dying person grasping a spider's thread: "Ahem, ahem, I'm not... a traitor."
With a very light sigh, the man said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Isn't this the voice of the Blind Man?
Wei Wei opened his eyes a little, and the person sitting beside the bed was indeed Gao Mengtang. He sat up immediately, his voice was no longer weak, his condition was no longer serious, and even his cheeks turned slightly red.
"How much did it cost?" Wei Wei asked.
Gao Mengtang: “Eh?”
"Your new hairstyle," Wei Wei frowned disapprovingly, "straightened and dyed silver, and your eyebrows bleached. How much did it cost?"
Is this the point...
"Wait, aren't you seriously ill?" Gao Mengtang held his hand. "How are you? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Can I help you?"
"I'm fine. I'm just pretending to be sick for others to see." Wei Wei was obviously more concerned about the cost of the new hairstyle: "Bleaching and dyeing it should cost more than 3,000, right?"
Gao Mengtang: "...Zero Yuan. Two mysterious gems."
He told Wei Wei what happened in Fulin and the Black Tower Laboratory in Epiphyllum Ridge. After listening, Wei Wei breathed a sigh of relief, slowly leaned against the head of the bed, and said earnestly: "We still need to save money to buy train tickets, so we should spend frugally. A meal for Pegana costs more than 400 yuan? We can't spoil our pets, just give him a few steamed buns, and keep the meal budget within 30 yuan."
He Luowu felt sorry for his fellow creatures, so he stretched out a thin, dry tentacle, hooked Gao Mengtang's wrist and shook it. An eye also appeared on the tentacle, and tears were dripping from it.
The two chatted for a while, and Gao Mengtang learned that due to the shortage of staff in the trial hall, the admission requirements were relaxed. With the help of Wei Wei's connections, He Lun became a non-staff member of the security department, and He Yi became a non-staff logistics staff member.
"Is your wound really not serious?" Gao Mengtang asked.
Wei Wei: "It's okay. He Luo can relieve the pain. He Lun is just worrying for nothing, you don't have to worry."
After a pause, Wei Wei continued, "Li Ren came to visit the ward and his attitude was unusually good. I suspect he has bad intentions, so please pay extra attention to him."
"good."
"Your new hairstyle looks great," Wei Wei said, "and it makes you look more like a leader."
Half an hour later, Gao Mengtang and Wei Xiangchen left the temporary office building. Wei Xiangchen went back to glue the soul gem fragments together. Gao Mengtang, wearing the Black Prince mask, walked slowly towards the old mansion.
He could have asked Wei Xiangchen to take him home, but Gao Mengtang wanted to be alone for a while.
Iron Lady was patrolling in the distance. Surprisingly, Gao Mengtang was not very scared. The night wind blew through his long silver hair, and Gao Mengtang recalled the few hours he had entered the Fulin.
Why did he become silver-haired and gray-eyed?
Who is that person who looks exactly like him and has his eyes poked out?
The inscription said that in order to avoid repeating the same mistake, the throne controlled the eyes of the Wise King Twelve, so the Wise King Twelve blinded his own eyes.
The black-haired man was blinded. Was he the twelfth wise king? Was he the man lying on the back of the thirteenth wise king? Why was the silver-haired man sitting on the throne?
And that conversation:
"Why do you want to be the only king?"
"Go ask the sun why it shines so brightly."
My head hurts a bit, as if memories are about to grow out.
Suddenly, an electric current ran through his spine and Gao Mengtang turned his head sharply.
There's someone behind me.
The black shadow rushed towards him at such a fast speed that he had no time to think.
——Gao Mengtang reacted instinctively.
He leaped up, arched his body, and jumped over the man's head. He clamped his calves around his neck, turned like a shuttle, twisted the man's neck and knocked him down, then stepped on his throat.
The man held one of Gao Mengtang's legs with both hands. Just as he was about to exert force, he heard a familiar voice:
"Duan Song?"
The person he knocked down just now turned out to be Duan Song? !
An excellent killer would not be confused by a familiar voice. Duan Song only paused for a few tenths of a second and decisively believed that this person was faking his voice, so he grabbed his legs and was about to throw him out.
"It's me, don't do anything." Gao Mengtang took off his mask.
Duan Song was completely confused. Not only could he fake his voice, but he could also change his appearance?
"It's really me. I... changed my hairstyle. You get up first." Gao Mengtang moved his feet away and helped him hide in the empty building next to them.
The Iron Lady passed by the window, two people hid under the windowsill, and shadows passed overhead.
When she walked away, Gao Mengtang breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did you sneak attack me?"
Duan Song had short flaxen hair with delicate curls, but the battle just now had messed up his hairstyle, with a few clumps of hair sticking up on top of his head, and there was dirt and gravel among his hair.
He stared at Gao Mengtang in shock with his light blue eyes.
"Speak." Gao Mengtang urged, "Why did you attack me? I'm sad."
You almost broke my neck, why are you so sad! Duan Song couldn't believe it: "Senior, when did you become so good at martial arts?"
Gao Mengtang didn't know either, maybe it had something to do with his hair. Would dyeing your hair make you stronger?
"I want to capture the Black Prince and the Axe Man and ask them for money," Duan Song looked at the mask in Gao Mengtang's hand, "Are you the Black Prince?"
"Yes, I am." Gao Mengtang looked down and sized up Duan Song's clothes. "Your appearance... is very distinctive."
Duan Song was wearing a black two-piece vest that was slit to his belly button and had lace cutouts on the back. His jeans had holes cut under his buttocks, revealing a large area of his leg muscles. He was wearing a pair of black double-sided leather shoes that looked very formal when worn alone, but looked very sexy when paired with other shoes.
"I'm a resident singer and dancer in a bar," Duan Song said proudly. "I just got off work, and the people who came to drink in the courtroom all liked my muscles."
Gao Mengtang: "...how much did you earn?"
"150,000." Duan Song casually lifted his bangs, "Appearance is hard currency everywhere. Senior, you took the booster, what happened just now? You are a master who can run 800 meters in 4 and a half minutes, how could you knock me down?"
Can you please stop mentioning the 800 meters? Gao Mengtang glared at him angrily.
Duan Song couldn't accept the reality, and kept muttering, "No, it's definitely not right. I underestimated you. From behind, I saw that you were quite thin. I didn't expect you to be able to fight, so I only used half of my strength. Let's fight again."
As he said that, he pulled Gao Mengtang up and wanted to show him how to do it.
"No, let's go back to the old mansion first..."
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a whoosh sound in his ear and Duan Song threw a punch.
Gao Mengtang grasped his fist firmly.
The two looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
"Oh my God, you opened up your Ren and Du meridians?" Duan Song pulled his curly hair, unable to accept the reality.
The senior has become stronger and no longer needs his protection.
This won't work.
"I only used 2.5% of my strength just now. I was afraid of hurting you. You attack me, don't hold back." Duan Song got ready for the fight, jumped back two steps, and smashed his fists against each other several times, "Come on, hit me."
Gao Mengtang looked at him speechlessly.
"Please, hit me hard and show no mercy." Duan Song said pleadingly.
You seem to have some alphabetic attributes.
Gao Mengtang was also very curious about how high his fighting skills suddenly were, so he tied up his hair and kicked over.
He attacked, and Duan Song countered his moves, commenting from time to time.
"Good, very quick response."
"The power is a little lacking."
"You're not very skilled. You'll get better with more practice."
"I can defeat you with only three points of strength, try harder."
This made Gao Mengtang even more dissatisfied. He held his breath and attacked more and more fiercely.
After 15 minutes, Gao Mengtang was the first to run out of energy. He sat down on the ground and said, "I won't hit you anymore. I didn't hit you at all!"
"Don't be discouraged, let's do that scissor kick again." Duan Song pulled him up, determined to avenge his previous humiliation.
Gao Mengtang gritted his teeth, jumped up suddenly, and clamped his legs around his neck. This time Duan Song was prepared, pinching his waist to pull him down, and holding him firmly.
"I feel relieved," Duan Song breathed a sigh of relief. "If the news that I was knocked down by a blind man gets out, where will I put my handsome face?"
Gao Mengtang pushed him away and straightened his hair: "We can go now. Come with me to join the Axe Chopping Man."
"Okay." Duan Song smiled happily, "But we have to find Xiao Canglan first. She is still waiting for me."
"She's at your place?" Gao Mengtang asked hurriedly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
When they found Freesia, Freesia had captured an innocent passerby and ripped off an arm to feast on.
Her sin value rose to 57
Gao Mengtang: "...next time, please tell me the important things earlier."
Duan Song: “Oh.”
Now that they had been killed, they might as well eat them. The three men returned to the old mansion with a bag of corpses.
That night, Gao Mengtang was in a daze and had many dreams. When he woke up, it was already 11 o'clock the next day.
"Watch this!" Duan Song threw a punch, his fist stopping 5mm in front of the tip of his nose, "Why don't you take my punch?"
After a few seconds of reaction, Gao Mengtang came back to his senses, grabbed his arm, and kicked him in the stomach twice: "You almost hit me!"
Duan Song cried out, "Stop kicking me, stop kicking me. It doesn't hurt when you kick me. Where's the strength you had last night?"
After waking up, Gao Mengtang had returned to his original appearance, with messy black curly hair.
In his current state, let alone a scissors kick, just kicking Duan Song a few times would make Gao Mengtang's ankle hurt by the vibration of his hard bones.
"Well, it seems that I can only fight if my hair turns silver." Gao Mengtang sat up and rubbed his eyes.
Duan Song took out an air-cushion comb and combed Gao Mengtang's hair, muttering as he combed: "You are so delicate. You have to bring an air-cushion comb into the dungeon."
"It's time to apply hair oil." Gao Mengtang ignored his words.
Duan Song rubbed the hair care essential oil into his fingers and kept muttering: "People are receiving seconding motions and objections downstairs, and you still want to apply essential oil. Why don't you bring a barber shop here?"
"Fu Yi?" Gao Mengtang was stunned. Isn't that the owner of the underground clinic? What is he doing here?
"I don't know." Duan Song said.
Gao Mengtang knew some of the connections that the Axe Cutter had accumulated, and he also knew that Fu Yi was a partner of Guangming Pharmaceutical Factory. He always felt that something was wrong.
"I'll go down and take a look." After saying that, he stood up and ran away. Liu Duansong raised his two hands covered with hair care oil, looking confused.
