Indescribable cyberpunk

"The deal is established! I'll exchange it for you with the Ancient One's Crystal!"

After listening to Ivanka's words, Zhu Jue no longer hesitated and nodded immediately to agree to the deal.

Although Zhu Jue had followed this ancient crystal for five years, he actually didn't know how to use it at all.

After absorbing the energy in it, this good-looking gem was actually not much different from a broken stone in Zhu Jue's hands. It would not be a loss to exchange it for a way to strengthen the spirit.

"Now you can tell me, what is the way to strengthen your own spiritual will?"

Zhu Jue looked at Ivanka expectantly.

"You asked me how to make my spiritual will become stronger, then I ask you, how does the body of a creature like a human become strong?"

Ivanka did not directly answer Zhu Jue's question, but asked rhetorically.

"Of course it's through food and exercise, or other external forces, such as ability injections, human body modification, etc."

There are not many ways to strengthen the human body in this era. Zhu Jue thought about it and came up with several.

"Yes, the body of living things can be strengthened through these methods. Have you ever thought that human will can also be strengthened through exercise and food?"

Holding the Ancient Crystal in her hand, Ivanka let go of her hand as she spoke. The Ancient Crystal was suspended in mid-air, wrapped in an invisible force, and layers of crystal fragments were peeled off from above. He glanced at Zhujue and continued.

"I'm very curious why you want to ask me this question. When I first met you, you had already tried eating fortification, right? I have been in this time and space for 5 years and I have never seen anyone with you. People in similar situations.”

"That's not my power, it's just an external force that was temporarily seized. What I pursue is my own strength!"

In the past, Zhu Jue had eaten a large amount of evolved meat from monsters that were the source of spiritual pollution. He undoubtedly gained extremely powerful power from it, not only physical but also spiritual power.

Just like Ivanka said, when they met in the Tacoma Desert, Zhu Jue relied on that power to force him to build a gun for herself.

He originally thought that this power had no hidden dangers.

But the subsequent trip to the Swart Valley made Zhu Jue suffer a lot in this regard. The will that was easily taken away from his body caused his body to collapse.

"You are very smart, but your understanding is wrong. The power you obtained from those indescribable monsters is not yours, otherwise you would not be able to use them to develop your own unique will. What you lack is just reasonableness. Methods of utilizing this energy. Of course, there may also be racial restrictions, and the human spirit may indeed not be perfectly integrated with the soul energy of those monsters."

"Can we skip discussing my past situation? Do you think it makes sense to discuss the past me now?"

After wiping the rain off his face, Zhu Jue looked at Ivanka with a headache, who seemed to be going on a long speech, and interrupted him bluntly.

It's okay to get wet for a while, but now that my butt is almost soaked, Zhu Jue has no intention of taking a rain bath here.

"Well, you are right. Next, I will use the special skills of the great race to liberate your spirit so that it can formally contact the world, instead of like you now. Although it can achieve a certain degree of embodiment, But the real power is imprisoned in your body. In the view of our great race, the spirit should be detached from the body, rather than being imprisoned by the body in turn!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhu Jue could reply, some invisible force rushed directly into his mind.

The next second, Zhu Jue's eyesight went dark, and his body suddenly felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring. There was a sense of ecstasy in the comfort that made him almost moan in comfort.

Bang!

His body suddenly fell backwards onto the steel structure at the top of the bridge.

This scene was watched by Zhu Jue the whole time.

Yes, he clearly saw his body falling back as if he had lost consciousness.

etc.

The body is in front of you.

Then where are you now?

"What did you see?"

The familiar voice came again, and Zhu Jue, who was struggling, subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

"I saw you"

Zhu Jue's eyes fell behind Ivanka, and Zhu Jue was stunned for a moment.

This is the second time Zhu Jue has seen the body of a great race. Compared with the dream glimpse he had in a hotel in Tacoma City, this time it was a real close contact.

It was a huge iridescent cone covered in some kind of jagged, semi-elastic scales.

At the top of the cone, there are four telescopic cylindrical organs that appear to be made of the same material as the cone; these organs can sometimes shrink to the point of almost disappearing, and sometimes can extend outward to extremely long lengths.

Two of them have huge hooks at the end, like crab claws, the other has four trumpet-shaped red organs at the end, and the third has an irregular sphere about two feet in diameter at the end. , the sphere is almost yellow, with three huge black eyes in the center, arranged in a circle.

There are four thin gray-white stems on the top of the extremely weird monster's head. Each stem has a flower-like organ at the top, and eight small, almost green tentacles hang from the lower part of the head.

The chassis of the huge cone in the center is covered with a gray-white gelatinous substance. When it stretches or contracts, the huge monster can crawl like a mollusk.

"anything else?"

His voice rang in Zhu Jue's ears.

"What else? What else are these?"

Shifting his gaze, the rain curtain in the sky had disappeared at this moment, and Zhu Jue saw endless light blue light spots filling his surroundings.

Within reach!

"This is natural energy. If you put it in human terms, it is natural elements."

"How do you think those evil gods and their followers use incantations and spells? The former are born with this talent, while the latter acquire the ability to manipulate natural energy by sacrificing to the former. Some of them even have You can do something more special.”

"The great races have never worshiped evil gods like Mi Go or the Cthulhu clan. We rely on the ability to do this through thinking, experimenting and evolution over a long period of time. What I am doing now is to use the abilities of the great races. The technique helps you unlock this ability without requiring you to make any sacrifices, and this is the reward for giving me the Ancient One Crystal."

Ivanka told Zhu Jue some mysterious knowledge, regardless of whether the latter could understand it or not.

When Zhu Jue opened his eyes again, the bright light in his eyes was clearly visible in the rain in the night.

Everything in front of me returned to normal, but there was a big difference between normality at this time and normality before.

Zhu Jue can feel that his spirit seems to have broken some shackles. It is no longer "autistic", but has begun to try to contact the surrounding environment.

The most obvious manifestation in this aspect is the ability of perception.

In the past, Zhu Jue had this ability by swallowing the evolved flesh of nightmares, but it was more like a function similar to a sound wave detector. He could clearly perceive the edges and shapes of objects, but at this moment, Zhu Jue can already sense the state of objects.

For example, the raindrops beside him, the moment he closed his eyes, Zhu Jue could feel countless light blue light spots falling next to him, whereas five years ago, he could only see countless small dots.

"Previously, your spiritual will was a cub locked in a cage. It could not actively hunt for food and could only rely on you to put energy in front of it to eat and grow. Now it has walked out of the cage and can be independent. Predation, as for where the food that can make it more powerful is and how to obtain it, you have to find it yourself, that is not within the scope of our deal."

Ivanka couldn't hide her tired look. The ancient crystal suspended in front of her was mostly broken into pieces without her realizing it, completely analyzed by his powerful spirit.

"It feels pretty good."

The index finger caught a drop of rainwater and watched it condense into ice crystals on the fingertips. Both the speed of formation and the state after formation were greatly improved compared to before.

As for other changes, Zhu Jue is ready to find time to think about them slowly.

"The deal is completed, I will leave this world and return to my tribe."

She waved her hand to scatter the powder after the Ancient One's crystal was broken, letting them drift into the distance in the wind and rain. Ivanka held the steel frame with both hands and moved forward.

"etc!"

Zhu Jue seemed to suddenly think of something, and after stopping him, he continued,

"After you return, you shouldn't come back again, right?"

"certainly."

"What about this body you occupy?"

"According to our original rules, his spirit will return to this body, but because of his hostility towards me, I chose to make the return journey here."

Ivanka pointed to the river under the bridge, and her meaning was clear. Obviously, he was not prepared to let the chosen unlucky guy continue to live.

"Since you don't need this identity, how about lending it to me? I need a place to stay and a suitable identity now. You live in Dawn City, so you should have your own residence here, right?"

Zhu Jue naturally expressed that he wanted the "legacy" left by the other party. After all, he didn't have anywhere to go yet.

"Okay, this identity has no role for me anymore. My current residence is in Heywood District."

Tell Zhu Jue one by one where he lives and the locations of valuables such as keys, and the latter will try to write down some key information as much as possible.

five minutes later.

On the bridge across the river, a dark figure fell off the bridge in an upside-down posture.

About halfway through, the voice calling for help rang out. It must have been the return of the original owner of the body.

It's just that in the current situation on the river, there should be no possibility of survival if you fall.

"Come on, let's go home."

Putting his hands into his pockets, the rainwater on the surface of the steel frame under his feet condensed into a thin layer of ice. He leaned back and slid towards the bridge.

behind him.

There are dark purple runes printed on his forehead.

The giant beast with its silver mane walked with its head held high.
