My blood regeneration is 100 million points faster

Wednesday, December 3rd, 13 days until Winter Veil.

The temperature dropped sharply in the middle of the night last night.

Before Xia Zuo went to bed, he wrapped Anru'er tightly in a quilt to prevent her from catching a cold.

After the two woke up in the morning, they felt cozy for a while, then put on the winter coats given by Beatrice and went to work.

Winter is a season that will leave deep traces for Machina State.

From the beginning of December of that year to the end of February of the following year, the average temperature in the entire Machina State will not exceed 2 degrees, there will be snowfall every few days, and the sun will not be visible for more than 10 days.

This is when having a few sets of warm clothes is especially important.

When Xia Zuo put on the windbreaker-style cold-proof clothing, he realized that this coat was not simple.

The filling layer feels grainy and may be an alchemical material that self-regulates its temperature.

The heat released during exercise is absorbed by the temperature-regulating material. When the body surface temperature drops below 30 degrees, the temperature-regulating material will automatically release the stored heat.

Xia Zuo wore this dress and walked into the warm spring-like Poxin Building from the cold wind outside. He didn't feel hot at all and was very comfortable.

…

On the second underground floor, Vickers' office.

Vickers is writing text with two pens.

There was a knock on the door.

He glanced at the glass ball on the table and saw Xia Zuo waiting at the door through the projection inside.

"Come in, Xia Zuo."

"Good morning, supervisor." Xia Zuo opened the door and walked into the room, closing the door behind him.

"That's it, Xia Zuo." Vickers searched for a few seconds on the desk filled with folders, then pulled out a file bag and handed it over.

"Recently, many Category 3 disasters have occurred in the suburbs and nearby towns. You should have heard about it."

Vickers pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and crossed his fingers on the table.

"There have been some adjustments to the personnel arrangements of the appraisal working group. The main reason is to expand your daily work. Originally, you were only responsible for appraisal tasks in the field of blood magic. Now, you will also be responsible for some appraisal tasks related to Shadow Demon. Specifics The contents are all in the portfolio.”

Xia Zuo glanced at the cover of the portfolio and nodded, "Okay, supervisor."

"Give me your access card and I will grant access to the laboratory."

Vickers took the alchemy card, poured a few drops of different alchemy oils on it, fanned the card to let the oils dry as quickly as possible, and handed it back after confirming that there was no residue left on the surface of the card, and warned:

"I'll go to the laboratory on the 4th floor of the basement later and try to see if the access card works. If it doesn't work, come back to me for re-authorization."

"Yes, supervisor."

Xia Zuo put away the card, said goodbye to Vickers and left the room.

Vickers was alone in the room.

He found a notepad from the drawer and wrote on the page full of words with special ink:

[1913, December 3, 7:40 a.m., P has taken the Shadow Demon file bag from me. 】

After a few seconds, a few lines of responses appeared out of thin air below this line of words:

[The Polis team has received it. 】

[The Hakanson Group has received it. 】

Vickers' gaze moved upward.

Every time Xia Zuo receives a research plan from him or meets with him, a similar conversation will appear on his notepad. So far, there have been more than 20 records.

…

On the third underground floor, there is a poison alchemy room.

Xia Zuo put on his poison-refining leather robe, put down his briefcase on the table, opened the file bag and poured out the documents inside.

But he was in no hurry to read.

There are other things to do.

8 o'clock this morning is the time when train number BB010 departs for Polis.

Xia Zuo sat down at the desk in the alchemy room, selected [Servant No. 1] in his mind, and switched to its perspective.

The wind on the train station platform is really strong. Fortunately, I chose a corner with a leeward wind last night. I could feel the cold just by listening to the wind.

Xia Zuo discovered a potential advantage of controlling the hemogen servants to go out.

Hematin servants will be affected by the cold wind, but it will not be transmitted to the master.

At this time, the template of [Hemonic Servant No. 1] clearly marked the negative effect of [Slight Chill: Movement speed reduced by 5%].

But Xia Zuo, who was sitting in the warm alchemy room, didn't feel the chill at all.

He listened to the announcements and the sound of the wind on the platform, leisurely picked up the scalding tea, blew away the mist on the water, took a sip of hot tea, and calmly controlled Servant No. 1 to observe the situation on the platform.

There were about thirty passengers who set out in the morning. They were carrying briefcases in their hands and wearing scarves around their necks. They looked like office workers on a business trip.

The train churned into the platform with a long stream of white steam, and stopped steadily with the sound of brake pads rubbing.

Servant No. 1 got into the car, floated to the luggage rack, and found a gap to hide where he could observe the interior of the car and the windows.

"Dang~dang~dang~"

"Woo~~"

The train whistled and headed to the next station.

There are several small towns stopping on the way to the city of Polis.

The estimated arrival time will only be late, not early.

Xia Zuo set himself an alarm clock for 9:50 a.m., and then opened the documents in the portfolio.

There is a pair of sunglasses in the bag.

This is related to a type of strange demon mentioned by Director Vickers:

Shadow Demon.

It is also an inheritance path controlled by the Church of Strange Demons, similar to a mixed-blood mage.

There are 4 known levels of hybrid mage:

Transformer, Blood Addict, Blood Demon, Blood Witch.

Shadow Fiend is layered a little differently.

It is named according to its area and volume.

The first level of shadow demons is called grass shadow demons.

This means that its body is only as big as the shadow of a small piece of grass, about 0.25 square meters, and the area of ​​the grass-body shadow demon that is about to be promoted to the next level will not exceed 1 square meter.

The second-level shadow demon is called the square table shadow demon, with an area ranging from 1 square meter to 3 square meters.

The name of the third level is Cube Shadow Demon, with a volume ranging from 0.5 cubic meters to 5 cubic meters.

The file mentioned that in the first two levels, the shadow demon is a two-dimensional creature that can only live in a plane and has basically no attack ability, making it the strange demon with the lowest sense of existence.

But in the third stage.

The shadow demon will become three-dimensional, evolving from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, with its own body and its own shadow like a human being.

Its shadow is the main material of the transformation ritual, which can transform living creatures into new grass-body shadow demons.

Shadow demons belong to a special category among many strange demons.

It grows and ascends without devouring life, but by continually fusing shadows.

However, it can only use normal shadows smaller than its own area as targets for fusion.

otherwise

Shadow demons will be counterattacked by normal shadows.

Many times, it is not the shadow demons themselves who merge with shadows larger than themselves, they are forced to do so.

Let's imagine.

Assuming that we are two-dimensional creatures, the picture we can see in our eyes is a line of interlaced light and dark.

The glowing areas on the lines represent no shadows.

Dark areas represent shadows.

But how do you identify the size of these shadows?

Lines are one-dimensional.

At most, we can only roughly estimate the size of the shadow on a two-dimensional plane based on the length of the dim line.

This method is very unreliable.

Therefore, most of the first and second level shadow demons died from accidental collisions with big shadows rather than being killed...

The only one that can appear in ordinary people's field of vision is the cube shadow demon.

When the 10th and 17th action teams returned yesterday, they escorted a cube shadow demon.

It is said that this shadow demon used shadow magic to cover a large group of converts and blood addicts causing chaos in the areas around Poseidon.

After the Category 3 Disaster Emergency Response Department captured the rhythm of Shadow Magic, it took some time to gather people and set a trap for Shadow Magic, and then captured it in the southern town.

Also captured were a dozen Transformers and 6 Blood Addicts.

Considering that these are extraordinary times, the fewer strange monsters in the Posing Mansion, the better.

The command headquarters ordered all Blood Mages of the Strange Demon Church to be killed on the spot, leaving only the Cube Shadow Demon.

Kill all the half-blood mages on the spot.

"Ahem..." Xia Zuo hammered his chest a few times, almost out of breath just now... This is a huge wave of experience and specialty rewards!

The last time I had this feeling of chest tightness and shortness of breath was more than ten years ago, on the day I first arrived at Piek Fortress.

At that time, Audrey, the eldest sister, went to the fortress commander to get two bags of coins and came back, but Xia Zuo didn't gain any experience.

Now do it again...

Xia Zuo exhaled helplessly and flipped through his research plan.

Weeks arranged for him to identify the Shadow Demon's umbral form.

All shadows are divided into umbra and penumbra, which were explained in detail in the optics of the previous life and the alchemy of strange objects in this life.

simply put.

The particularly dark part in the center of the shadow is called the umbra.

The dark surrounding area is called the penumbra.

The penumbra of the Cube Shadow Fiend corresponds to the Blood Fiend's body.

Its umbra corresponds to the Blood Demon's Blood Essence Stone.

Unlike the Blood Demon's body, which is highly poisonous and difficult to cut, the penumbra surrounding the Shadow Demon's umbra is very fragile and will be dissolved as long as it is exposed to strong light.

But as long as the light weakens, the penumbra will recover. This aspect is much better than the blood demon body.

Shadow Fiend's flaws are so many and so obvious.

After the action team caught it, it took almost no effort to remove its body, and they could directly study the secrets of the umbra. It was like giving it away for free, and the research progress would advance very quickly.

Xia Zuo finished reading the file, looked at the current time, and then hurriedly walked to the door and went to the underground laboratory to get samples.

…

6th floor underground, Laboratory No. 15.

Xia Zuo put on his sunglasses, unlocked the door and walked in.

It is simply an ocean of light.

The walls, ceiling, floor, under the table, etc. of the entire room are covered with light-emitting tubes wrapped in glass plates. Light evenly fills every corner of the room without any shadows.

The cultivation tank that sealed the Shadow Demon has been specially modified.

The tank is still one-way glass.

But there is a ring of pools around it.

Place ribbons and sequins in the pool that refract light.

The water in the pool keeps flowing, keeping the ribbons and sequins in a tumbling and flowing state. When the refracted light shines on the cube-shaped shadow demon, a small amount of umbral debris will be torn off.

The debris sank to the bottom of the water, and was taken away by tiny manipulators and sent to the closed operating table next to it.

Xia Zuo stayed by the operating table and watched the operation of encapsulating the umbra debris for a few minutes, then left with a suitcase.

When I returned to the alchemy room, it happened to be 9:48 in the morning.

Xia Zuo sat down in front of the console and called up the perspective of [Servant No. 1].

The female conductor on the train walked into the carriage in uniform and reminded passengers that they would arrive in Polis in about 15 minutes.

Xia Zuo took advantage of this short period of time to put the umbra debris into the closed operating table to preprocess the poisons that needed to be identified.

15 minutes later, the train pulled into the station and stopped.

Xia Zuo temporarily put down his work and concentrated on controlling servant No. 1.

As a member of the Silver Moon Federation, Polis City is a city created by the Alchemy School. The layout of the city is similar to that of Poseidon. There are mostly buildings in the urban area and low houses near the suburbs.

Xia Zuo activated [Blood Curse] and checked the locations of the three transformers.

A second potential benefit of Hemonic Servants emerges.

When checking the target's position, Xia Zuo can switch the observation point from himself to the hemogen servant, and find the target's location from the hemogen servant's perspective.

Xia Zuo searched carefully and found that the transformer was actually underground? ?

"Huh?" Xia Zuo, who was sitting in front of the console, rubbed his head in confusion.

Is there a subway in Polis?

Definitely not.

Is there such a thing as a hidden dungeon?

The location of the three transformers is relatively deep, about 15 meters underground.

Following the guidance of [Blood Curse], Xia Zuo controlled Servant No. 1 to pass through the wall of the train station to the street and move along the street.

A high-rise building with more than 20 floors appeared near the central city.

In terms of appearance, it is somewhat similar to the Posing Building. It is also much taller than other buildings. There is also a huge white crystal suspended in the air on the first floor of the lobby. It also has the same features.

basement…

Xia Zuo's expression changed, looking a little stunned and embarrassed.

Could it be that those three transformers had long been captured by Polis City's action team and imprisoned in the underground laboratory? !

I bet he might have grabbed a wave of experience from friendly forces?

This is too embarrassing.

No, no, no, no

Xia Zuo patted his head and thought of another possibility.

Could it be that after receiving the information from Rexor, the Polis City action team found the remains of these three transformers in the DC area and brought them back to the laboratory for research?

Um..

The odds are high.

He has not paid attention to the location of the converter in the past few days, and since Poseidon and Polis City are dozens of kilometers apart, whether they are in the central city or DC area of ​​Polis City, they are all north to him. direction, the difference is small.

The key is.

Transformers cannot self-destruct while locked in a culture tank.

But the order given by the Blood Demon at that time was "self-destruct."

Therefore, it can be inferred that the waste residue in the underground laboratory was brought back after the death of the transformer.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but feel relieved after he figured out the cause and effect.

He didn't have the guts to control Servant No. 1 to fly into the building lobby. Those huge white crystals floating on the ceiling were not easy to mess with at first sight...

He could only circle around the building and guess the specific location of the transformer based on the layout of the Posing Building.

That's right, it's definitely in the laboratory on the 4th floor underground.

Xia Zuo asked Servant No. 1 to fly back to the front of the building and look at the name of the building.

【Powles Building】

He scanned the surrounding streets from the perspective of Servant No. 1, thought carefully for a few seconds, and decided to find a place to hide, maybe he could use this servant in the future.

Servant No. 1 flew to the shop on the opposite corner of the street, found a small gap in the sign at the door of the shop to protect him from wind and rain, and slipped in.

Then, Xia Zuo turned his attention to the current work.

When he put the Umbrella debris into the console, he deliberately left a small amount out, just to test the poisonous effect with [Flesh Control] and to see if the Shadow Demon had anything like a blood pattern mark. .

Xia Zuo checked the blood bag and the life alchemy stone, and after confirming that they were ready, he moved his palm to contain the handful of umbra debris.

His skin turned black in an instant, with purple lines running across the surface, the blood vessels around his eyes bulging, and swollen lines all over his face.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds passed.

"Huhu..." Xia Zuo opened his eyes and gasped for breath, and umbrage fragments appeared in his palms.

He immediately put the crumbs into the test tube on the operating table, and then realized that his skin had turned dark. After a few minutes, his skin gradually turned white and returned to normal color.

"I'll go... The poisonous effect of the Umbra debris is simply weird..."

Xia Zuohou slapped his chest in fear and looked through the list of poisonous effects he had obtained earlier in his mind.

…

[Severe self-doubt]: Every 1 second, you will have uncontrollable doubts about the operation you are about to perform, lasting for 5 seconds.

(The rest omitted)

…

It's no secret that Shadow Fiend had a difficult time growing up.

Xia Zuo speculated.

Shadow demons often get very entangled when faced with shadows of unpredictable sizes. If things go on like this, they will either die due to accidents or suffer from serious mental illness.

This may be where the toxic effects of severe self-doubt come from.

But you can't be completely unsure.

Because the toxic effects of mental illness have never been seen.

But we cannot deny the existence of this poisonous effect. It may be a very difficult poisonous effect that requires a variety of toxins to produce.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a terrifying effect!

When Xia Zuo tests poison, he always puts stability first. He must immediately release the [flesh and blood control] as soon as the poison effect appears.

As soon as he got the poisonous effect of [severe self-doubt], all he could think about was:

"Do you want to release the [flesh control]?"

"Why don't I release [flesh control]?"

"Why haven't I released [Flemish Control] yet?"

Questions like this.

If it weren't for the fact that the operating character template would not be affected by the poison effect, he would probably be poisoned to death by other poison effects.

It is a pity that this poison test only achieved poisonous effects.

Shadow Demon has nothing like a blood mark.

Xia Zuo took a sip of tea to relieve his mood and began to make an antidote to the Umbra's poisonous effect.

The backend has been written to the end of the third volume. There is still one chapter left to be released after the reward is added. It should be released on the day when this volume ends.
