Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Swallow
The glass bottle shimmers with a crystal luster under the blue artificial light, and the water droplets add a dreamy color when they are gently shaken.
When Su Yuan saw this familiar thing in disbelief, he was a little dumbfounded.
Su Yuan didn't know how the organization defined these tears or how they described them, but it seemed that after his successful "apparition" last time, the organization had some intention to spread the message among its members.
The originally pious atmosphere became even more boiling. When everyone stared at the glass bottle intently, the breathing of the entire square became disordered.
The square was clearly well ventilated and the night wind was cool, but when the glass bottle was placed in front of everyone, the air seemed to become a little hot.
Everyone looked at it fervently and devoutly, as if it was something extremely desired to exist. Su Yuan, wrapped in the surrounding heat, couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
This organization fervently believed in the mysterious sculpture whose appearance could not be seen. His tears were mistakenly misunderstood as something closely related to the sculpture, and were attached with similar emotions.
But wrong is wrong.
Su Yuan, who thinks he is just an ordinary person, cannot bear it no matter how many times he experiences it.
Su Yuan pursed his lips and tried not to react abnormally. He really wanted to destroy his tears. Not only because he couldn't help the reaction of the crowd, but also because these followers, the more they put strong and fanatical emotions into his fake tears, the more likely they would be unwilling to give in and want to make up for it when the truth was revealed.
But now, with all the enthusiastic breaths and gazes, even if Su Yuan was not afraid of death, he couldn't rush up and destroy this disaster directly.
Not to mention that this will directly implicate the protagonist and may very likely bring life-threatening danger to the protagonist. In this situation where everyone is staring at the tears and treating them as treasures, Su Yuan, who has no attack ability and extremely poor physical fitness, has no ability to destroy them in public.
The tears brought out by the person in charge successfully mobilized the whole audience and inspired the emotions of all those who came. The factors in the entire square became extremely active.
Su Yuan could clearly sense that everyone was becoming restless and seemed eager to contribute something.
The person in charge at the front, who was suspected to be Xie Yuan, looked at everyone's reaction with satisfaction and finally spoke.
This seems to be a common practice in this organization. Every senior executive speaks in a very strange tone, making it impossible to distinguish their original voice.
"We will raid the academy soon to create opportunities for you. You must seize the time..." He began to coordinate the plan.
Su Yuan was not surprised at the location of the academy's mission, as Yan Zhou, as the protagonist, would definitely be involved.
Even if this task is moved forward, it will not be too far in advance. It is normal that the location happens to be in the college where Yan Zhou will stay for a while.
The person in charge methodically assigned tasks to everyone. Su Yuan listened to the locations of the academies where everyone was assigned to go, and realized that this was a collaborative task that required everyone to complete their tasks at the same time in order to succeed.
"...In this way, it can resonate with the [Mirror of Omniscience] and form a new copy."
When the person in charge slowly stated the ultimate goal, Su Yuan was stunned.
Is cultivating new copies relying on the power of the [Mirror of Omniscience]?
resonance……
Thinking of the dark room where the [Mirror of Omniscience] was located, Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat and his cheeks wrinkled.
Why does he always encounter these key items and events?
Su Yuan felt that he was quite unlucky and had a bad premonition. After hearing this key information, he quickly recalled the details of what happened when he came into contact with the [Mirror of Omniscience] before. Su Yuan was a little afraid that he would accidentally get into trouble again.
It should be nothing.
After he felt that the mirror seemed to have not answered all his questions, he used his previous method to coax and praise it for several sentences. Although the [Mirror of Omniscience] ignored him and did not tell him the rest of the content, his behavior might be different from other people who came into contact with the [Mirror of Omniscience]. But even if the [Mirror of Omniscience] really did not have its own consciousness, it was impossible for the [Mirror of Omniscience] to be displeased by being praised.
And then——
Su Yuan, who was thinking randomly, was interrupted again.
"Come forward one by one."
The person in charge's voice caught Su Yuan off guard. He couldn't figure out the other party's intention. As he hastily raised his eyelashes to observe, his heart pounded several times.
The tasks have all been arranged, why are you suddenly asking people to go up one by one?
Could it be that he and Yan Zhou were discovered to be abnormal?
Su Yuan, who had never had such an experience, became extremely nervous. It was no wonder that he was so nervous. The subconscious fear of being discovered was the instinct of most lurkers.
Su Yuan tensed his body and held his breath, thankful that the cloak on his body could completely cover his face, otherwise his reaction to these words, which made his face turn pale and sweat break out, would have exposed him.
The face covered by the cloak felt a little hot again. Su Yuan's breathing was slightly choked when he saw the first person walk up to the person in charge. He became nervous and tense.
When he looked carefully, almost out of breath, the situation that had frightened him of using a special method to verify his identity did not happen. However, Su Yuan did not feel relieved that his bad expectation did not come true. His beautiful, pale pupils, which were covered tightly, still shrank uncontrollably.
Under Su Yuan's gaze, it was unclear whether the person in charge, whom he could not help associating with Xie Yuan, used his own card abilities or the power of the organization.
As he held the glass bottle reverently in his left hand, amidst the sudden and chaotic gasps from the people around him, an identical glass bottle filled with tears appeared in the pale right hand of the person in charge.
Su Yuan has already accepted the many wonders of the card world, but when he saw his own tears being replicated, his heart still beat violently.
As Su Yuan bit his lower lip uncontrollably, something even more unacceptable happened to him.
The person in charge handed the newly-replicated glass bottle to the first cloaked man who walked over.
Su Yuan's mind was blank at first, and he had no idea what was going on. Then, he saw the cloaked man impatiently open the bottle cork after taking it, and then -
He raised his head and poured it into his mouth.
The other person's Adam's apple rolled greatly in his sight. When Su Yuan looked at the arc with his eyes slightly opened, his eyelashes trembled several times.
The sudden sense of shame made Su Yuan unable to control himself anymore, and a soft gasp escaped from his bitten lips.
Su Yuan's strange behavior did not attract any attention.
Perhaps this is not an anomaly at all.
The people around were also panting, making much louder noises, completely drowning out Su Yuan's.
Even though Su Yuan no longer wanted to look down, in the last second of his sight, he still saw the other party continuing to lean down, as if he couldn't bear to miss any movement, and in a state of intoxication, he murmured hoarsely, not sure whether it was because he had gotten what he wanted or was still unsatisfied.
"…It's really sweet, and also, a little fragrant."
Su Yuan's face was steaming and he closed his eyes, but he could sense that the surroundings were becoming even stranger.
His hearing seemed to have become more sensitive, or perhaps the noise around him was indeed a bit loud.
The sound of hurried footsteps almost running immediately rang in Su Yuan's ears, as if the second person was already impatient to get his own share.
The person in charge's usual strange tone sounded again. He said this amid the burning breath in the square, "At present, we can only copy half of the holy water's properties..."
For the safety of the protagonist, Su Yuan tried hard not to slip directly into Yan Zhou's sea of consciousness and disappear on the spot. With disordered breathing, she was forced to accept that her tears were defined by this mysterious organization as -
Holy water.
"…If we can successfully obtain the [Mirror of Omniscience], we can use it to replicate the exact same holy water for you. Everyone, please do your best."
The person in charge did not seem to notice that some people below had been replaced. After issuing the task, he called people up one by one and gave each of them a bottle of replica holy water as a final encouragement and motivation.
By giving everyone partial rewards and introducing future rewards, we can make everyone pay more attention to this action.
The effect of his actions was remarkable. Something that was faintly surging in the square seemed to boil over.
When Su Yuan curled his fingers to grab his clothes, his body stiffened by the continuous swallowing sounds around him. He instinctively reduced his sense of presence and tried his best to empty his brain and ignore the situation around him.
When it was Su Yuan's turn to take it, Su Yuan was still sweating from the heat around him and felt a little dizzy.
He withdrew his gaze too hastily, and his attention was diverted elsewhere by shame. It was only when Su Yuan walked in front of the person in charge that he realized that he seemed to hate contact with people.
Su Yuan was a little slow when he reached out to take it with his stiff arm. Before he could touch it, the other party withdrew his hand.
Su Yuan tried to catch it in a panic, and when he successfully caught the glass bottle containing his replica tears, his fingertips accidentally touched the sleeve of the person in charge.
In fact, it only touched lightly, and didn't even touch the other person's skin, but the person in front of Su Yuan paused, then took out something out of thin air and wiped it with some disgust.
Feeling the other person's somewhat disgusted and cold gaze, Su Yuan was stunned.
