The comic plot quickly progresses to the part where the office building is blown up.
"It's really not easy for you to bring your men out, Captain Wilson!"
After single-handedly taking on all the serious criminals in the prison, the brown-haired boy smiled energetically with his eyes curved when he saw Wilson, but he said something that made people think deeply.
【? ? Damn, who can explain to me what this means? 】
【Wow~ smells like conspiracy! 】
[Have you noticed that Xi Ze is not next to Xia Zuo? Where did he go? :)]
[…Is he going to blow up the building?!]
[Queue upstairs, this is too possible]
After Xia Zuo finished saying this, the comic camera cut from Wilson and Xia Zuo to the black-haired boy.
He was walking slowly in the snow-white corridor, with no expression on his face. He looked calm, cold and indifferent. The baggy prison uniform with no sense of design on him made his frame look even thinner.
The corridor was very quiet, so the slightest collisions between the bunch of things he was holding, which looked like they were going to cause trouble, were particularly clear and odorous.
He came to the room he wanted without any hesitation. He was as familiar with the structure here as if he was back home, as if he knew it clearly.
[Daily speculation on what Caesar's talent is]
[Damn it, Xia Zuo didn’t even ask, the most disappointing protagonist of the year (bushi)]
[I’m so curious, this can’t really be a human-shaped satellite map, right? No way, no way]
[In fact, I think his ability should be more inclined towards spiritual or mental development, which is more appropriate]
The worrying speculations in the comments cannot affect the black-haired boy in the comics.
He half-crouched slowly and skillfully assembled the materials he had brought among the many old machines and wires. His eyes were lowered, and there was nothing in his misty blue irises.
But in just a moment, the camera zoomed out, and an improvised explosive device that looked impossible to imitate was completed.
However, after lighting the fuse, the black-haired boy did not leave.
He just stood up and calmly waited for the explosion to come, even with his hands in the pockets of his prison uniform, without any fear or intention of avoiding it.
There was no light in the dim room, and his entire face was covered in shadow.
When there was no one around him, he hardly seemed like a living human being.
However, this was the first time he saw such a scene of barrage and he did not pay attention to this point for the time being. He was almost scared to death.
[Fuck, wife, run! ! This little thing won’t do much damage if it explodes, but if you put it in such a flammable and explosive room, it will really kill people when it explodes! ! ]
[Baby, you look so handsome when you’re calm, but I don’t want to be without a wife so soon (crying)]
[I finally understand what Xia Zuo meant by "You want to die again?" Wow, this guy will really seek death if no one is watching! ! ]
[Xia Zuo, please come back soon. We need you, Xia Zuo (crazy oxygen inhalation)]
[It’s no use looking for a nanny at this time… you’ll be blown to ashes (dazed)]
Golden flames reflected in the black-haired boy's eyes.
A dialog box representing the inner voice appeared at the right time: "To ensure the final effect, someone must be watching this device."
His inner voice was as calm as his outward appearance: "We don't have enough materials. It will take a lot of time to gather them all again."
"That's a hassle. Let's just do it this once."
[I think you just want to commit suicide! Zebao, you have to believe Xia Zuo's level of procrastination ahhhhh]
[He really is making me cry. How can he be so cute and lazy at a time like this?]
[…Help, am I going to witness the death of laziness in the physical sense? QAQ My wife, please take care of me]
No matter how loud the barrage was, it was useless; the device made by César himself still exploded.
Its explosion immediately caused a series of chain reactions. The fiery heat wave instantly submerged the calm black-haired boy, wrapping him up completely, leaving no trace.
The Sera people, who were originally sitting obediently and waiting for their own highlight scene, were dumbfounded.
How long has she liked this character?! You shouldn't do this to her?
Sera wanted to say that Xizel would never die, but when she recalled the other party's defense value, she could not help but remain silent with sadness.
That defense doesn't look like it can survive a big explosion.
After all, Césaire Crest's character is that of a completely sickly pretty boy.
"Is this the retribution for me jokingly saying that he was the perfect configuration for early death when Xizel appeared?"
She turned to the next page in a daze, but the camera turned again to Xia Zuo and Wilson who were confronting each other outdoors.
[I don’t believe that Xi Ze will die!! If he really dies, I will send razor blades to the official!! QAQ]
[It's so funny, Xia Zuo is too straightforward]
[Did he actually tell Wilson his purpose? 】
[That seduction can make me laugh for ten thousand years hahahaha]
Wilson: ???
[If he knew that Cesar was likely dead, would he still be able to laugh?]
[No way, they are the protagonists after all, it would be too hasty to die like this]
[Don’t forget, the deaths in this comic are often very quick and swift, leaving people with no time to react ()]
[Shit, I'm reminded of those guys who looked like important characters but died instantly]
[No, have you all forgotten that Ursula is still here? There is no way she would let César die? ? ]
Sera, whose IQ was clouded by sadness, suddenly realized: Yes.
Ursula’s abilities haven’t been introduced in detail in the comics yet!
She instantly rekindled her hope for life.
At the same time, the black-haired boy appeared again in the comics as expected.
His hair was loose and was being tied up again. There were no wounds on his body, not even a speck of dust. People would probably believe he had just woken up.
It looks lazy, but it is not repulsive at all. Instead, it has a strange atmosphere that can make the surrounding environment quiet down.
The scene that was not drawn in the office building was finally added.
It was still a horrific explosion, but this time the location was no longer the old room where the explosive device was placed, but the stairs of the escape passage.
First, a human silhouette appeared in the flames, and then as the figure moved, it became clearer and clearer, revealing a familiar and handsome face in the flames.
In addition, one could vaguely see his tattered prisoner uniform covered in flames.
【!!! Is there anything that I, a paying reader, cannot read? ! 】
[Ahhh, this flame is too ignorant to block! ]
[Wait, am I the only one concerned about how Caesar is unharmed? Does it make sense that he doesn't even have a single hair missing? ? ]
[Walking out of the flames... Stop being scared, don't you think this scene is sacred! ]
[Strong row, even the flames on the clothes are very beautiful prprprpr]
The black-haired boy had already left the range of the explosion. He took out the prison uniform he had prepared long ago and put it on. Then he tilted his head, as if thinking about something, and moved his gaze to the window that led directly to the outdoors.
He walked slowly to the window, looked at the distance from the ground, and then looked at where Xia Zuo was.
The next second, he jumped out of the window without hesitation.
The long black hair that had not been tied up yet was blown up directly, but the black-haired boy's expression did not show any distortion due to the sudden loss of weight.
Sera: !!!
Danger! !
——Then she saw the black-haired boy in the comics landed steadily on the ground.
Not to mention broken arms and legs, he didn't even look uncomfortable for a second. He slowly straightened his sleeves and walked leisurely to the serious criminal area.
Sera: ...
She calmed down instantly, and not only that, she also went back and watched the previous clip again.
Crazy screenshotsjpg
[I’m so handsome (close my eyes)]
[There are many handsome scenes of Nishizawa in this episode, and Nishizawa is very happy]
[When did my wife become so strong? Is it the buff effect brought by Ursula? ]
[I tend to think it's a combination of Caesar's original ability and Ursula's ability... I'm really curious about when the information will be released! ! ]
[Go back and look!! Caesar’s earrings appear again here. Ursula definitely helped.]
[! Indeed, my attention was drawn just now, and I didn’t notice there was an extra eyeball hahahaha]
[Damn, I actually think it’s kind of cute]
"Xize, are you still reading?"
Xizel raised his eyes and blinked: "Of course."
——Of course not.
After friendly negotiations with the Comics Will, he got the Comics Will to agree that when the comics were updated, he could stay in the comic world and use reading media to see the updates and reader forums without having to fall into a coma at any time.
If you want to speak, just use the consciousness link.
And he can use the rest time he has accumulated to choose when to go back.
As for the real world, the only person he has a close contact with is Dr. John, and Dr. John knows that he is a person with a strong sense of territory. If he doesn't call the other party, Dr. John will not come to him casually.
Finally, without having to explain why he could faint at any time, Xizel smiled and said, "Would you like to read with me, Xia Zuo?"
The brown-haired boy's expression twisted: "Reading... It's really boring quq."
He hesitated and said reluctantly: "If Caesar really needs someone to read with you..."
"No thanks," Cesar calmly refused with a perfect smile, "It's quieter to read alone."
After Wilson stabilizes the situation, he will apply for the transfer of prisoners to a more central level prison. Before that, this is a rare period of rest.
Wilson even prepared a single cell for Cesar Crest, a minor who could not lift or carry anything, to prevent him from getting hurt.
The last person who received this treatment was a manic mental patient.
Xizel, who was enjoying top treatment, raised his eyebrows slightly when looking at the speculations about his abilities on the forum.
The reason why he was able to remain unscathed in the explosion and had the confidence to jump off a tall building was, of course, because he found Ursula, the... fairy godmother.
Cesar paused subtly. No matter how many times he said it, he always felt that the title of fairy godmother was a bit strange.
Especially when eaten with Ursula's body.
"Kleist's Fairy Godmother (full version)"
Duration: 15 minutes
"Cooling time: 13 days"
"Note 1: The current Fairy Godmother suitability is 57%"
"Note 2: When the power takes effect, you will become a god who does not bleed."
"Note 3: When using abilities, there is a certain possibility of triggering side effects. The side effects are as follows: Inhumanity increases by 10%, and there is a 5% chance of triggering the absolute sanity state."
Xizel has not yet triggered this so-called state of absolute rationality, but it looks like a side effect, so he can guess a little bit.
He was even a little curious about what he would look like by then.
Retracting his thoughts, he turned the page of the comic book projected on the book in his hand, which only he could see.
The comics have reached the part where he and Wilson are talking in the interrogation room.
[I knew that it would be useful for Caesar to keep Wilson, hahahaha]
[Good guy, tool man +1]
[Zebao really took advantage of me, it's so funny]
[When my aura is fully on, I am really charmingawsl]
[Ursula is so cute too, how can she be so cooperative——]
[Yes, yes, if she hadn’t coldly asked Xia Zuo to eat rats before, I would have almost believed it hahahaha]
[The only honest person in the audience: Wilson]
[Wow, there are three people on the cover, so Xia Zuo is the only one who is silly and innocent, right?]
Xizel glanced at Xia Zuo and said, "Indeed."
After reading this update, he opened the comic forum and began looking for influential analysis posts.
【Cesare's ability analysis/prediction】
[As the title suggests, this is an analysis post about Cecil Kleist in The Gifted. Welcome to discuss with like-minded people. ]
[According to the latest intelligence, César walked out of the explosion unscathed and was able to jump from a tall building with ease. This is inconsistent with his previous physical fitness and conditions, and must have been caused by some supernatural abilities.]
【Based on the timing, I suspect it was the benefit brought by Ursula.】
[The specific analysis is as follows: Xizel can take away Ursula (own ability), and Ursula becomes bound to Xizel, bringing Xizel a "damage-free" or "invincible" buff effect. Generally speaking, the duration of this god-level buff is not long, and the longer it lasts, the greater the consumption. Either the power is not enough to support it or the CD time is too long. ]
[From the comics, when César was standing at the window, he was thinking about when his ability would expire.]
[And his "damage immunity" lasts for a really long time. I guess there may be other side effects.]
[Ursula's only known ability is emotional perception, which is similar to a low-end version of mind reading, but looking at the way she catches a mouse, you can tell that she is also very good at fighting. It is not clear whether the effect of the ability to avoid damage is caused by Xizel or by Ursula. ]
[1l: Supplement about Xizel's ability:]
【From the comic plot, 1. It has the effect of a human satellite, can accurately avoid patrols, and quickly understand the map. 2. It may have a talent for poison, or a higher talent level (from the identity proof plot). 3. Ursula said in the comic that she could only read César's thoughts at the beginning, but not later. It is possible that César has similar immunity. 】
[2l: I have been curious about Xizel's ability for a long time. Let's see if the prediction can be successful.]
[3l: Xizel is really the Riddler himself. Nothing is clear from his identity to his abilities hahahaha]
[4l: After this summary, I feel that Caesar is really strong... I am not surprised that he is the final villain]
[5l: It’s normal for the protagonists to be strong, but they all have to be strong in their own way]
[6l: As for the riddle man in front, I don’t have high requirements, as long as his personality is genuine, that’s good enough (lit up a cigarette)]
【……】
Capability analysis...
Xizel tilted his head. If he had any real talent, he really didn't have any. The source of his current abilities was very confusing, and it didn't seem like they were given by the will of the comics.
But he won't think he has too many cards.
So, what abilities should we induce readers to identify in order to be appropriate and useful?
[Could César's talent be telepathy? ]
[First, with telepathy, he can confirm other people's locations through their voices, and can also deepen his familiarity with the map by reading their minds.]
[Secondly, a similar but obviously higher-level ability that makes him immune to Ursula's mind-listening]
[And the level of this ability must be high. It is normal to suppress the previous boss who used poison.]
[As for the binding with Ursula, I think it will be a special method that is not a talent. After all, Xizel has a special identity, so it is not surprising that he knows some secret methods.]
【54l: That makes sense, let me rank one】
Xizel closed the forum and didn't read it again.
He just tried to guide her, but with so many possibilities now, this little guidance would definitely not be of any use.
Therefore, he did not expect at the beginning that he would have any interesting talents after speaking.
But who made him appear in the comics?
For comic readers, the settings and plots that had been determined long ago were just what he wanted to reveal to them.
He is just burying a seed now, and he can completely control how the seed will grow in the future.
He could even say directly that the ability he possessed was telepathy—as long as he could convince the readers.
But Xizel is not in a hurry now, just in case he thinks of a better one in the future.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to determine your talent, and if you want to influence the reader's subconscious mind to change it after it's determined, you'll have to do more preparation and it will be harder to succeed.
After all, imagining the previous time when the identity was confirmed, almost all readers reached a consensus, which is not an easy task.
Closing the book, Xizel pressed his forehead.
...seems a bit hot.
His strange immunity is causing him trouble again.
He hadn't been sick for more than ten days, and the burden on his body had been much lighter. He almost thought that he was just a normal person with a weaker body.
The black-haired boy calmly went to the water room to get a glass of water. When he returned to the cell, he was so dizzy that he could hardly stand up.
"Are you sick?"
Ursula's voice rang out.
The little girl's figure instantly appeared beside his bed.
Since she was moved to a solitary cell, she often came out to have fun.
"Yeah." Xizel said helplessly: "Maybe it's because there hasn't been an attack for so many days, and my body is finally rebelling."
Ursula: “?”
What kind of description is this?
She didn't quite understand, but she knew that no matter which book it was, the description of illness was never good.
People who are sick will feel very uncomfortable, and in serious cases, they may even die.
“Rest in peace.”
Ursula folded her arms over her shoulders, making a standard resting posture, and said sincerely.
Xizel: “…”
Xizel was silent for a moment, and then he slowly said: "Thank you, but I don't really want to rest because of my illness."
Ursula nodded and put her hand down: "Then compared to rest in peace, César's wishes take priority."
Since Cesar didn't want to rest in peace due to his illness, he wanted to get better.
What does a patient need to get better?
Ursula glanced at the water on the cell table: there was water.
She tilted her head to think for a moment, then said happily with a blank expression, "Cesare, wait for me."
Mouse~Mouse~Where are the cute mice?
She had almost caught all the rats in the prison these days, and it was extremely difficult to find another one.
Ursula obviously prefers cute little things like mice, lizards, centipedes, etc. to some ordinary proteins.
The left paw held the "Federal Cooking Encyclopedia", and the right paw held a fresh mouse. They slipped into the utility room and took out the discarded pots and pans.
So when Xizel finished resting his eyes and opened them when he felt better, he found a figure standing motionless at the head of the bed.
The pair of vertical pupils, one yellow and one blue, stared at him without blinking. Seeing that he had finished resting, it immediately stretched out two paws from behind, picked up the bowl, and handed it to the black-haired boy.
Ursula: "Tonic, drink it and get well."
Xizel's eyes fell on the black, even churning medicine, "..."
He curved his eyes and asked softly and gently, "Ursula, can you tell me what kind of soup this is?"
Ursula deadpanned and said happily, "Rat soup."
Xizel: “…”
It is true.
He kept smiling: "I don't like eating rats - including drinking soup made from rats."
Ursula had a blank expression on her face and said disappointedly, "Okay."
She put away her claws.
Xizel changed the subject: "——However, Xia Zuo will definitely be very happy if he can drink the soup you worked so hard to cook."
"Xia Zuo?" Ursula tilted her head: "In this case, he won't hang around in front of me anymore?"
Cesar smiled harmlessly and said, "Absolutely not."
Since you are a member of the protagonist group, please let Xia Zuo bear all of this (no mercy).
Ursula immediately became happy and ran to find Xia Zuo.
"This is the soup I made for Cesar. Do you want some?"
She asked.
When Xia Zuo heard that the soup was made for Xizel, he was a little flattered: "Give it to me?"
"Drink it all and stop dangling in my eyes," Ursula pointed out with her index finger.
"Dazzling eyes...?"
Although he was a little confused, Xia Zuo still opened the lid with anticipation, but his anticipation came to an abrupt end when he saw the soup.
Xia Zuo: “…”
He swore based on his rich experience with rats these days that this was definitely rat soup! !
Does he have a face that looks like he really likes eating mice...?
Xia Zuo fell into deep self-doubt.
"You don't want to eat?"
Ursula's voice was cold and heartless.
"..." Xia Zuo struggled: "What will happen if I don't eat?"
Ursula said nothing more, but took the bowl and sneered, "Ha."
Human beings are not good.
The author has something to say:
In Ursula's heart, Cesare is not a human being (not derogatory)
Xia Zuo's character: kind, righteous, willing to believe, straightforward, frank, afraid of the dark, thanks Ursula for not killing him
Ursula's personality: chaotic, kind, suspicious, a practitioner of Gothic style, with inhuman values, hates sunlight, hates brown hair, hates priests, and today she is telling herself that she cannot let her friend rest in peace.
