Chapter 33 [Secret Cause of Psychic Medium]
“Old Miracle. What is this?”
Ji Xun immediately became alert.
Obviously, there are some mysterious existences hidden under the surface in this cellar!
He is always paying attention to his attribute panel, and if there is anything wrong at all, he will immediately prepare to evacuate.
But after observing carefully for a moment, there didn't seem to be any danger.
[JOKER] There is an attribute in the Trickster's entry. He has a probability of understanding the devil's whispers.
It seems that now that I have stayed in the cellar for a long time, I have heard more of the demonic whispers that sounded like ringing in my ears, and I have gained enlightenment.
Also let him understand some meanings: sacrifice, joy, faith, ancient gods
Not words, but an indescribable cognitive endowment, which seems to point to some Something beyond human comprehension.
miracle?
Ji Xun was thoughtful.
But although I don’t understand what the indescribable is, the phenomenon it manifests is: mental pollution.
No wonder I always felt like my head was buzzing.
Ji Xun thought of something and reached out to touch the [Joker's Mask of All Things] card placed in the mezzanine of his trouser pocket, chanting in his heart: "Solution!"
The mask has immunity to various mysterious forces. Since it is mental pollution, this mask is useful.
As soon as he put on this ancient relic, he immediately felt that his sensory world became clear.
And immediately there were new discoveries.
"Sure enough, there is something hidden."
Without the interference of the indescribable external factors, Ji Xun's eyes immediately looked different in the cellar.
It was as if the blur filter had been eliminated. In the field of vision, the dark energy on the corpses seemed to be drawn by a mysterious force and converged on an inconspicuous wall tile.
Ji Xun walked over and looked at the brick in front of him that he had not noticed before.
Because cognition exists, it appears.
With this fixed focus, I gained enlightenment.
【Secret Psychic Medium】
Detailed explanation: An energy condensate containing powerful dark supernatural properties, a spiritual medium that touches the miracles of the past; an evil material of flesh and blood, with a very slight trace of divinity;
"Is this still a supernatural material?"< br>
Although Ji Xun didn't know what the amber-like thing in front of him was, he could see the terrifying extraordinary properties.
If the energy unit of the out-of-control extraordinary characteristics overflowing from these corpses is 1, it is like a star; then Ji Xun feels that this dark amber substance is at least 100, as bright as the moon!
What surprised him even more was that the extraordinary properties of this thing seemed to be able to be swallowed directly?
Ji Xun looked at the extraordinary characteristics that were also overflowing, and wondered if [Feast] could be used.
Thinking about it, he reached out and touched it carefully.
Then his expression was startled, as if he had discovered a new world.
The extraordinary characteristics pour into the body.
"You used Feast Devouring, your constitution +0.021"
"You used Feast Devouring, strength +0.018"
"You used Feast Devouring, toughness +0.009"
"You used Feast Devouring, Dark Affinity +0.04"
「.」
“It’s really good!”
Ji Xun's eyes lit up instantly as he looked at his changing numbers.
What a surprise!
With this exaggerated efficiency, he could devour more corpses than any other before, dozens of times.
The purity and richness of the extraordinary characteristics are something Ji Xun has never seen before!
He looked at the changes in the data after swallowing and made a rough calculation. If he really had to swallow this whole piece, the strength, agility, constitution and other attributes would most likely exceed 3.
What is the concept of almost all attributes being more than three times what they are now?
The physical combat power may be more than ten times what it is now!
This is definitely a treasure that can bring a leap in his strength.
“What a good thing.”
Ji Xun’s mind turned around and it was the first time he encountered such a weird and evil supernatural thing.
But poison can also cure diseases. This thing is evil to others, but to him, it is a great tonic.
Seeing this medium, he now understood what was going on with these corpses.
The corpses in these cellars seem to be some kind of evil ritual, and then the ritual gathers extraordinary characteristics and condenses into this [Secret Cause Medium].
But I don’t know why I was discovered by the company’s field agents, and I ran away in a hurry before I could take away my things.
I don’t know who arranged this ceremony. There is no need to guess. Using human sacrifices is obviously not a good thing.
Probably some kind of evil wizard, or an outer god sect.
So taking away this [Secret Cause Medium] will definitely involve big trouble.
At this moment, people seemed to get a glimpse of the crime and disorder of Innocence City.
But.
Big trouble?
No, no, no.
Ji Xun never considered this in his mind from beginning to end.
Since he just discovered that this thing's extraordinary properties can be swallowed, his mind has been deducing various risks that he will face after taking away this piece of psychic medium.
The cellar has been searched. The two men in suits outside obviously didn't know this thing existed, and they wouldn't know it if it was taken away.
Not long after the body died, the cellar was probably raided, and the medium had not yet been transferred.
And if the person who arranged the ceremony is not dead, then he must know.
When he came back and found that his things were gone, his first thought must be that the field agents of Golden Oak Security Company had taken them away.
If "that person" had a way to confirm that the company's field staff didn't take anything, they would definitely turn their suspicions on the body collector.
A series of cause and effect plots were deduced in Ji Xun's mind.
But the problem is not big.
He needs this [Secret Cause Medium] not to sell, nor to keep it as a collection.
After all, you can catch the thief and catch the dirty guy.
If this thing is absorbed, won’t there be no evidence in the end?
The only uncertainty is that it takes some time to absorb. There are definitely risks.
But compared to the rewards, it’s definitely worth the risk!
Ji Xun made a decision almost instantly after thinking about it in his mind.
Not far away, Gibb was still carefully handling the corpse in the dim light, and did not pay attention to this side.
Such evil material can be taken away without any psychological burden.
Ji Xun will not hesitate when he thinks about it.
He carefully removed the piece of [Secret Cause Medium], and then quietly stuffed it into the abdomen of a corpse, hiding it in the flesh and blood tissue.
Usually no one will touch these corpses before they are burned, and things will be safe inside the corpses.
The rest of the body collection work will be done step by step.
The three corpse collectors from Dongjiu upstairs showed no intention of going down to the cellar to help. Ji Xun and Jibu were busy dealing with the sixteen corpses.
After working for more than half an hour, the sixteen body bags were moved upstairs one after another.
Captain Dongjiu greeted everyone, "Okay, let's call it a day!"
Hearing this, the two men in suits who had been guarding the door also walked in.
Looking at the eighteen corpses on the ground, they had no intention of opening the body bags to check.
Ji Xun thought he had passed the test smoothly, but at this moment, the man in the white suit suddenly took out an antique camera and said casually: "I'll keep a photo of the scene."
< br> Before anyone could react, he clicked the switch towards the body collectors in the room.
"Poof~"
The spotlight illuminated the dazzling light and white smoke, making people blind for a moment.
What’s even weirder is that the moment the fire lit up, the whole room seemed to be swept by some mysterious force.
The soul is in a daze.
In this strange state, a low-pitched inquiry from a man in a white-faced suit came to my ears: "Did you find anything unusual while collecting the bodies?"
Dongjiu, the three of them, and Jibu all shook their heads, and responded as if they were hypnotized: "No."
Beside the crowd, Ji Xun looked at him with the same expression as the other four, and responded na na.
But he muttered in his heart: "I'm really coming."
When he came up just now, in order to keep the hidden secret of the [Secret Psychic Medium] from being exposed, he had already I guessed that I might encounter some situations.
For example, hypnotic questioning.
So when he came up, he put on a clown mask.
I didn’t expect to encounter this.
But the enlightenment has already shown what happened just now: "You are immune to memory tampering."
The mask plus the [JOKER] Trickster entry can exempt everything up to and including the mark. Cognitive tampering with rules.
Be prepared and hit the mark.
Hearing this, the man in the white-faced suit didn't care at all. He took out a photo-like card from the camera and shook it.
It seems as if some of the memories of several corpse collectors have been pulled out by this photo.
They had searched it once and thought nothing was left behind.
The questioning is just a routine procedure.
The white-faced man is already very proficient in this procedure. After questioning, he said something with strong psychological implications: "You just collected some ordinary corpses and forgot the details in the cellar. There is nothing worth remembering. .”
As soon as these words came out, there seemed to be some kind of magic power. The expressions of several corpse collectors were obviously stiff for a moment, and they nodded as if they were lost.
When the white smoke from the spotlight gradually dissipated, the eyes of several people gradually focused.
No one could see any flaws in Ji Xun’s professional performance.
Erasure memory?
Seems like necessary confidentiality procedures for these field agents.
After thinking about it for a while, Ji Xun felt that he could understand.
Due to the nature of their profession, body collectors often come into contact with corpses and crime scenes. There are some sensitive incidents among them. But if even this low-level temporary worker knows about some top-secret events, then the whole city may know about it.
It is normal to have confidentiality procedures.
He just didn't expect that there was a magical method of "camera tampering with memory" in this world.
After taking the photo, the bearded man was no longer interested in staying in this shabby house. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can take the body away."
Captain Dong Jiu also seemed to have no memory of what happened after taking the photo, and said with a smile: "Captain Lu, let's leave first."
Field agents are part of the official company, this is not a body collector. It's comparable to temporary workers. But Dongjiu has already submitted a job application for field service, and he might even become a colleague in the future, so naturally he has to get acquainted with him in advance.
Ji Xun played his role as a qualified minion throughout the whole process, helping to carry the eighteen corpses onto the truck.
Getting in the car, Dongjiu and the others seemed to have recovered from their abnormal mental state.
Dong Jiu has reached the seventh level of spell power and is the strongest person among the corpse collectors. He seemed to have noticed something and murmured to himself: "It's strange, I seem to have forgotten something. What did I forget to take away? Is it over?"
It was as if I had done something in my memory, but in the blink of an eye I had no memory at all.
The other people have completely forgotten.
No one took it seriously.
The steam car carrying the body sped down the street.
In the carriage, Ji Xun was silent.
After experiencing this incident, he realized that the water in Sinless City was deeper than what he saw.
The profession of corpse collector is not as ordinary as it seems.
He had previously wondered why he had never heard from Dongjiu and other old employees that they had encountered any bizarre missions when he was exposed to so many corpses and murders every day.
Now it seems that maybe it is not impossible.
But they may have dealt with similar bizarre incidents before, but they just don’t remember it.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun's eyes had a strange look, and he suddenly felt that this job was becoming more and more interesting.
