Chapter 71 The Doctor’s Trophy
As soon as the doctor died, the spear was pulled by an invisible force and flew back from the trajectory it had just come from.
Ji Xun did not dare to be careless and quietly retreated to the edge of the floor, thinking to himself: "Have you been tricked by others?"
Seeing that the three people had no intention of jumping down and taking action, That's why he didn't jump into the abyss immediately.
These three mysterious people were probably not attracted by the sound of the explosion, but came with the doctor in the first place.
Moreover, this old believer was seriously injured in one move, and he also carried a third-level relic. He was so powerful that it was hard to understand.
This is not good news for Ji Xun.
Before he could make any further guesses, the strong man holding a spear whose appearance could not be seen clearly seemed to be afraid that he would jump off the building and did not make any misunderstanding. He also took the initiative to speak: "Friend, don't Misunderstanding. We have no ill intentions towards you."
As he spoke, he introduced himself again: "We are investigators from the Federal Bureau of X, chasing this guy from the Silver Moon Sect."
X Bureau?
Ji Xun heard Chujiu say it.
But to him, it doesn’t matter whether the identity is true or false.
He didn't jump off the building not because he was curious about the identities of the three of them.
But I want to see if there is still hope of getting the loot.
The man seemed to be very keen. He glanced at the corpse and said quietly: "Originally, I wanted to capture him alive, but since you killed him, forget it."
The Old Day believers were imprinted with the belief of gods, so they had no interrogation value.
I said this just because I wanted to have the initiative to speak.
“.”
Ji Xun remained silent, tacitly understanding: Did you use that spear just to keep yourself alive?
But he didn't take action. He was a little confused about the purpose of these three people.
The man didn't waste any more words and went directly to the topic, and said, "I would like to ask, did you provide the clues about Sequoia Street?"
The tone was polite.
Hearing this, Ji Xun's expression was slightly different: What does this mean?
But after thinking for a moment, he admitted directly: "Yes."
There is no point in hiding it.
The other party has chased them here, and they also brought the relics of restraint and healing, so they obviously know a lot.
But since we didn’t take action immediately, there was room for negotiation.
Hearing this, the man was not surprised and said, "How about making a deal."
Before Ji Xun could speak.
He said directly: "Give me all the information you know about the Silver Moon Sect. In exchange, the storage ring of this corpse will be yours."
Xie Guozhong and the others followed them all the way, and their main purpose was to obtain information about the Silver Moon Sect.
In this situation, there seems to be a better option.
A person behind the scenes who plotted the destruction of three Silver Moon strongholds!
Hearing this, Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.
This guy's intuition is very sharp.
He obviously guessed that he didn't escape in the first place just because of the things on the body.
That’s why we had this deal.
If it were another exchange condition, Ji Xun wouldn't be able to offer anything equal.
But.Intelligence?
Ji Xun felt a little weird in his heart.
He also guessed this guy's intention. It was obvious that in the eyes of these three people, information was more valuable than any trophies.
Or do you want them all?
Ji Xun asked tentatively: "A word is a deal?"
The man responded sonorously and forcefully: "A word is a deal."
The advantage is not in himself. , Ji Xun didn’t hesitate anymore, and said directly: "I discovered the four-pillar sacrificial ceremony of the Old God Sect in a ruins. It happened that the moon appeared in the past two days, and I knew that there was also a sacrificial ceremony at No. 17 Tailor Street. ritual point, so we speculated on the other three strongholds.”
This is nothing to hide.
After all, almost everything was written in the report letter.
It’s just that Ji Xun explained the four-pillar ceremony in more detail.
But not as much as the three expected.
As he said it, he disappeared.
Waiting for Ji Xun to finish speaking, the man was obviously stunned and asked in surprise: "That's it?"
Ji Xun: "That's it."
He only knew so much. .
I just learned about the name "Silver Moon Sect" just now.
Ji Xun also guessed that these three guys probably thought it was him who provided the clues, so they would know the very detailed inside story.
Apparently this answer disappointed them.
He thought this guy would regret it.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the guy laughed heartily: "Hahahaha."
It seemed that he was laughing at himself for his miscalculation, but he did not hint at any intention of regretting it.
Ji Xun just looked at the guy like this, keeping an eye on the body details of the three of them from the corner of his eye, and also paying attention to the surroundings.
Everything that needs to be said has been said. There is no need to hide any other purposes at this time.
But what he didn't expect was that the man actually kept his promise and said loudly: "Okay! This body is yours."
As he said that, he turned around and left. He didn't forget to add: "If you have any information about the old sect next time, try to avoid the Golden Oak Security Company. You can go to the Train Tavern to find the bartender and say that he was introduced by 'Old Xie'." I'll pay for the information."
Just like this time.
Ji Xun listened and responded: "Okay!"
As soon as the words fell, the three figures actually turned around and disappeared.
Ji Xun looked at him slightly sideways, feeling a little unconfident.
Although these three people are just a third-level relic, they must have come from the rich ore layer with their wealth.
But did you really leave without even looking at it?
The three of them walked back all the way.
As he walked, Xie Guozhong also sighed with emotion: "Hey, I originally thought he was at least a first-level curse card master, but I didn't expect him to be just an apprentice. It's really impressive. A card master apprentice actually forced "Epidemic Doctor" Heisen here. kind of degree. If it weren't for the near-miss, he could really kill a second-level person. "
Hearing this, assistant Awen was a little reluctant and asked: "Captain, are we leaving like this? "
Xie Guozhong asked nonchalantly: "Otherwise? "
Awen frowned: "I mean. That guy is also very suspicious."
Xie Guozhong interrupted her and chuckled: "The number of suspicious guys in Innocence City ranges from 100,000 to 80,000. Is it possible to arrest them all and question them? ”
Awen said: "But. But after all, he actually knows the secret stronghold of the Silver Moon Sect, and maybe he knows something else."
Xie Guozhong smiled: "Didn't he tell you everything just now?"
Awen still wanted to argue, "but"
Xie Guozhong asked three questions one after another.
“Is he our enemy?”
"No."
"Then is he an Old Believer?"
"It seems not."
"Then why should we arrest him? We are the Federation The most authoritative law enforcement department is not the gangsters, nor the group of guys in the system who have been corrupted by power. If we cannot enforce the law impartially, then what do you think is the meaning of the law and how can we maintain federal order? ?”
“.”
The truth is this.
But hearing their captain say such words that the Holy Light burst out, both assistants found it incredible.
The mushroom head's eyes widened and he blinked again and again. In disbelief, he couldn't help but break up the trouble and said quietly: "Captain, isn't your career sequence [Diamond-6-Outlaw Outlaw]? I don’t see you obeying the rules usually.”
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lost all the “evidences” in a bet just now.
Xie Guozhong seemed to be used to this little kid causing trouble, and said seriously: "Disorder itself is a kind of order. It is not the absence of rules. Besides, we are doing things in accordance with the law. What is the federal law? ?”
Mushroom Head said for him: "Article 177 of the Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officers of the Federal Tribunal, where there is no suspicion of guilt, law enforcement officers are unclear about the criminal facts of the suspect, and the evidence is not reliable and sufficient, they should not enforce the law forcefully."
"Well, that's it."
Xie Guozhong nodded and said: "Besides, that guy only knows so much. Why bother?"
The mushroom head is already there From what I heard, the captain was just afraid of trouble.
Awen still refused to give up: "But captain, what if he lied to us? I mean, what if he deliberately concealed some information."
"Some people, you can tell at a glance that they don't bother to lie. The more conceited a person is, the more so."
Xie Guozhong shook his head and strode forward without explaining much.
Awen still looked puzzled when she heard this, but she didn’t say anything.
At this time, the mushroom head also said: "Captain, didn't you say before that the guy took something from the sacrifice stronghold? Why don't we go and take a look?"
Thank you Guozhong looked like eating from the public family would save him a lot of trouble: "There are so many treasures in the world. There are a lot of ancient relics and catastrophic objects in the warehouse of the headquarters. How many of you have seen them? If you want anything, I will send you a report." Okay. Since he is not an old believer, it doesn't matter what he takes. And since he dares to make plans, he can naturally contain it without having to write a lot of containment reports to explain how it came about. ”
Ancient relics, catastrophic objects, etc., others have sharpened their brains to think of it.
For the people in Bureau X, they are just tools.
As long as you can use it, the bureau will make a report and it will come out.
The two assistants were stunned for a while, and they were all in disbelief: The ace old agent in the bureau, instead of imparting any crime-solving skills, was actually imparting his fishing experience to them?
As he said that, Xie Guozhong added: "Besides, haven't I already told people that 'a word is settled'? When people keep their word, this is their own order. In the future, you will know that order is One of the highest laws will affect a person's luck and state of mind. If you can't keep up with yourself, you won't be able to go far in the future. ”
Awen: "."
Mushroom Head: "."
It seems that they heard some very important experience, but the two assistants didn't understand it.
“By the way, boss, the court is urging us to submit the investigation report on the attack on Cao Sihai as soon as possible, but the clues we currently have are not enough to draw an accurate conclusion”
"Just write a few sentences."
"Ah, write whatever you want?"
"Otherwise? Do you think those cunning guys in the parliament really want to investigate and find out the truth? Haha, they just want a report to give an explanation to outsiders. Besides, there are masters planning this time , it’s weird to find out.”
“Oh.”
“But having said that, it’s hard to say who the mastermind of the cemetery maze attack is. , but it’s a bit like what those guys from the ‘Thirteen Kamen Riders’ did who were just worried about the world being in chaos.”
“.”
The three of them left the cave while talking.
Ji Xun watched the three people disappear and did not act in a hurry.
Instead, he stood there for a while and observed.
After confirming that the three of them were really gone, he approached them very cautiously.
The corpse had sarcomas, which were early signs of deformation.
The body collector is familiar.
If we continue, the out-of-control extraordinary characteristics will most likely turn it into a monster.
But it’s good news for Ji Xun.
After the corpse is deformed, its extraordinary characteristics will expand randomly for a period of time, and overall it will be stronger than before it was alive.
He was completely unafraid of contamination. He walked to the side and swallowed the feast, and his attributes increased sharply.
The plague doctor's body was full of toxins, and he didn't dare to touch them.
While devouring it, use the mechanical arm to collect the loot.
The clothes are almost burned, so it’s easy to take inventory.
In addition to two storage rings, a card slot, and an amber item the size of half a brick.
It is that small piece of psychic medium.
Ji Xun picked up the psychic medium and absorbed it on the spot.
Only when this thing is completely digested can the trouble be completely resolved.
Except for the three guys who left before, no one else has figured out why the corpse collector team exploded.
Even if they see the big hole in the morgue, no one will run down in a short time.
But Ji Xun thought about it and decided to change places first.
He carried the body with a mechanical arm and went all the way to an inconspicuous depth in the cave.
There are no law enforcement agencies in Innocence City. Unless something big happens, no one will interfere.
The hours flew by.
There were no surprises this time and digestion was completed smoothly. Seven o'clock in the morning.
Workers can already be seen on the street handing over get off work one after another, and the city of Sinless City is a busy scene.
The rooftop of an abandoned building.
A figure jumped lightly across the ten-meter gap between the balconies.
After Ji Xun confirmed that no one was following him, he found a deserted place and stopped.
He sat on the rusty iron tower, overlooking the city shrouded in darkness and smoke from a height.
Let’s take a look at the loot.
Ji Xun took a long breath.
He is in great shape now.
Before he got the second piece of [Mysterious Psychic], his strength value was "4.9", but now it skyrocketed to "8.44" overnight.
The 200 kilograms of heavy iron used for training before is now as easy as wearing a shirt.
Not just strength.
The physical attributes, toughness, and agility have all exceeded 8.
A single attribute can break 8, which is a level that can only be achieved by most eighth-level and ninth-level card master apprentices.
And Ji Xun is strong in all dimensions.
The combat power has also soared again visibly to the naked eye.
Not only the physical combat power, but also the harvest of trophies is very gratifying.
Ji Xun thought of something, took out a card and waved it, and a sharp scalpel appeared in his hand.
It is the Grade I ancient relic—[The Plague Doctor’s Scalpel].
The original owner of this scalpel is dead and the spiritual mark has disappeared. He easily put his own mark on it.
Infused with mental power, the air around the blade will tremble slightly, and the flying knife will become extremely sharp.
With a slight stroke, as if cutting through the air, a smooth cut immediately appeared on an iron pillar of the rusty iron tower next to him, revealing the cold steel inside the rust.
Sharpness +9, this is also the sharpest weapon he has ever seen.
The Frost Knight's great sword that I got before is only sharp +3.
“It’s so sharp”
Ji Xun played with it and couldn’t put it down.
Moreover, this scalpel also has an extraordinary attribute of "Destroying Demons +35%".
This is the most powerful thing.
That is to say.
This scalpel may cause damage to heavy armored warriors such as the Frost Knight Armor.
But it is very easy to use against legal defense!
Regardless of the first- and second-level curse card masters, as long as they can get close and poke randomly, there is a high probability that they will poke a bloody hole.
The only thing that is not ideal is that the scalpel is a long-range combat weapon in the hands of the doctor.
Currently, what I have in my hand is just a melee knife.
Ji Xun has tried many times before. He wanted to control the flying knife with his mind, and every time out of ten, he was able to deviate slightly from the trajectory.
And the attack range is only a few meters.
It is impossible to control flying knives with telekinesis in a short period of time.
The first is proficiency, and the second is mental strength.
Furthermore, the wound caused by this scalpel is small. If it does not hit the vital point, it is difficult to be fatal.
Cannot be used as a conventional weapon, only for sneak attacks.
But Ji Xun was already very satisfied.
He now has a piece of equipment in his hand that can truly pose a fatal threat to the life of the spell card master.
Coupled with Shadow Sneaking and super agility, he felt that he was almost a good assassin.
The doctor's tactical card slot also has some one-time skill cards, such as [Plague Miasma], [Acid Splash], [Poisonous Tentacle] and other magic cards. .
These are all second-level cards.
But Ji Xun doesn’t dare to use it randomly at the moment.
Although the skill card can be used once it is activated.
But without an understanding of related spells and a certain degree of proficiency in flying cards, the more advanced the cards, the more dangerous they are.
For example, how much mana power needs to be poured into the card to activate it, and how long after pouring it into the card, it needs to be released before the expected explosion time can be achieved.
The result of being unskilled is that it might explode in your hand, or fly out without being activated.
Ji Xun had gone to the Hunter Guild to take some card lessons before.
I know why the spells in this world are sealed in cards.
The fundamental reason is that the card master has no belief in gods.
All the extraordinary powers that humans in ancient times could master came from gods.
In ancient times, believers of gods chanted magic and chanted the name of a certain god. In response, the god helps his followers master and understand the rules of elements that are beyond their ability, and also imparts supernatural knowledge.
This is "Extraordinary Divine Inspiration."
Later, a great god created a card system, using the demonic power of the mark to allow humans to awaken to extraordinary power without having to believe in any god.
Use cards as a carrier to gain the ability to release magic.
This is roughly the story.
But Ji Xun only listened to fairy tales and stories.
From a scientific perspective, the benefits of cards are obvious: instant, powerful, and easy to use!
Card masters must master this spell if they want to make skill cards.
But they rarely release spells directly, simply because the power of direct use will be very small, and it takes time to condense the spell.
Sealing spells into cards in advance will consume a lot of material costs, but it also allows the card master to cast various magics instantly.
And the power will be greater.
It's like putting gunpowder into a cartridge case and detonating it will be more miraculous.
Another point is the card combination.
For example: [Fireball] + [Injection] two first-level cards can form a compound magic, burning a large area.
If this was replaced by normal spell casting, it would be impossible for one person to cast two spells at the same time.
But it can be easily done using cards.
Even triple card and quadruple card compound spells.
The card proficiency is high enough, and as long as it does not consume too much spell power, the spell card master can release compound spells that are much more powerful than his own level.
There are also advantages such as easy portability, long release distance, concealment and so on.
The benefits are many.
So this is the most important reason why the world is so repulsive to the old believers.
If you can control extraordinary power by yourself, why should you pray to any gods?
Why kneel when you can stand?
Both of the doctor's storage rings are stuffed with stuff.
Various bottles and jars, some with labels and some without.
Ji Xun did not open it randomly.
In addition to being interested in the scalpel, he was also very curious about one thing.
That was the secret self-healing technique that guy used before.
The two storage rings each contain various materials, poisons and antidotes.
The other one contains various surgical tools, as well as many medical books and scrolls.
Ji Xun browsed through it casually, and most of them were related to plague and alchemy.
Like "Extraction of Infectious Substances from Black Death Corpses", "Detailed Explanation of Human Anatomy", "Essential Medical Knowledge for Doctors with Crow's Mouth".
This is also in line with the professional characteristics of the Plague Doctor.
The books are very old, and it can be seen that the person has done in-depth research in this area.
Ji Xun is also interested in these books.
But don’t rush, I will take a look at it later when I have time.
He searched and found an iron box in the corner.
When he opened it, it turned out to be exactly what he wanted.
This is a handwritten research note titled "Cell Activity Boiling".
“It’s actually handwritten?”
Ji Xun was also very surprised when he saw it.
After comparing the notes again, I realized that these were actually the practice notes that the doctor had figured out by himself?
It contains detailed records of his various experiences in practicing this secret technique.
"His, it turns out to be a fragment of some ancient forbidden demonic art."
Ji Xun glanced through it briefly and understood the origin of this note.
There is this passage in this note:
"Old man Duan always has some strange things in his hands. Recently he went to the old continent and dug out an ancient tomb. I gained a lot of treasures. I got a scrap of copper from the old man, which is said to be something related to the plague doctor."
"My piety has been responded to, and the great Thousand-Faced Moon has given me the ability to read the ancient demonic language. But the content recorded on the copper plate is too mysterious, and it is difficult for me to fully understand it in my current state. It also requires me to understand this part of the content. , wrote it down, and summarized this secret technique"
"."
Those who do research like to take some notes, which is also convenient for Ji Xun.
After reading the beginning of the note, he knew what this secret technique was about.
Looking again, in addition to the notebook, there was indeed a broken piece of copper under the iron box. It looked like an ancient item.
The copper sheet was densely engraved with some incomprehensible mantra symbols.
Ji Xun looked over, as if one word contained a lot of information, and it didn't take long for people to feel dizzy.
And the strange thing is that with his photographic memory, even after reading it again and thinking about it, he has no impression at all.
Ji Xun's expression was also very surprised: "Something beyond cognition?"
He had read the notes and already knew that the symbols on the copper plate were the legendary ancient devil language.
The doctor also borrowed the will of the gods to understand part of it.
The enlightenment display is also very simple.
[Mysterious Copper Piece]
Detailed explanation: A fragment that records some ancient forbidden demonic technique;
Ji Xun looked at it again and again, except for dizziness, it was still not the same. I didn't remember the words on this copper plate.
He didn't hesitate anymore.
Anyway, the thing is in my hands, and I will have the opportunity to study it sooner or later.
He looked at the doctor's notes.
Ji Xun took a rough look at it and summarized some contents: "Learning this secret technique requires relevant medical knowledge to reach Lv5 and wood element affinity 45; after practicing, you can obtain the passive of 'Strong Growth'. It has super cell activity and body tissue regeneration ability; active casting requires a large amount of mantra and life essence to heal the wounds caused at the flesh and blood level, and the recipient is immune to some negative energy erosion"
This is indeed The secret technique that made the guy almost immortal before.
But the threshold for learning is not low either.
The wood element affinity is not a big problem. I am only 21 now. If I absorb more corpses, I will slowly get up.
But "Medical Knowledge Lv5" is a bit difficult.
For a layman who has basically no medical knowledge, it may take many years of study.
Ji Xundao is also optimistic.
It makes sense that the threshold for learning high-end secret techniques is high.
Besides, he originally wanted to learn medical knowledge, such as surgical first aid.
You can’t just rely on potions every time you get injured.
Super high comprehension and photographic memory learn things very quickly. As long as conditions permit, it won't take long to reach the threshold.
The notes describe this [Cell Activity Boiling] as a forbidden technique that uses magic power to activate the body's potential.
The reason why it is called "forbidden technique" is because it consumes life essence.
In layman's terms, what is consumed is life span.
But this skill is originally used for first aid and life-saving.
Consuming life span and losing life, this multiple choice question is not difficult.
