The System Is Four Years Ahead Of Schedule, But Anomaly Is Still A Cub

Chapter 135 "LiXiang II type armor (red mist form)"

There have been a lot of changes in the research department recently. After Li Xiang became the research director, Deng Yuqi also assigned many new people to him.

Li Xiang's laboratory was also transferred from Laboratory 3 to Laboratory 1, which is the largest. Because he was responsible for too many things, Deng Yuqi even assigned Laboratory 2 to him.

When Shen Ge went to Laboratory No. 2, a total of thirteen people, including Li Xiang and Zhu Li, were crowded in the laboratory, surrounding a two-meter-high cylindrical glass culture tank.

Shen Ge put on the laboratory's exclusive protective clothing and walked in. Taking a closer look, the group of people were studying the floating heads in the culture tank.

This head is none other than the head of the young man who was beheaded by Shen Ge under the normal condition of the twelve leaders.

At this time, the broken part of the head and neck was covered with a layer of red mist. His eyes were open, but there were only whites and no pupils in them, which looked a bit scary.

"What happened? Did he come back to life?" Shen Ge asked standing behind the crowd.

When everyone turned around and saw Shen Ge coming, they greeted him politely.

"Tan Shen."

"Tan Shen."

Over the past month, Shen Ge has been basically spending time in the research department. The euphemistic claim is to give newcomers more opportunities to practice, but in fact it is just fishing.

Of course, the main purpose is to cooperate with Li Xiang to upgrade his armor.

Li Xiang glanced at Shen Ge and explained the question he just asked: "The current situation of this head is a bit complicated. At the biological level, it is not only 'alive', but it is also an independent individual, one that does not require other parts of the body. , an independent individual with only one head.”

"We have made many dissection observations and found that there is no normal human tissue structure in the head. In other words, there is no brain, but there is something like a heart that can produce red mist. If the cut-off head is fit together, these red mist The magic will quickly repair the wound."

With that said, Li Xiang asked a researcher to take out a bottle and hand it to Shen Ge.

There were two blood-red leeches in the bottle, which were somewhat similar to the "worm leeches" that Li Xiang extracted from the body of the sly mouse.

"This is the 'self-healing bug' extracted from the carrion of the sly rat before. Do you still remember it? I recently extracted the red mist sly energy from this head and fused it with it to enhance its healing ability. I combined it with After the drug treatment, I got this thing." Li Xiang picked up a small tray from the table next to him. On the tray was a small white pill the size of a fingernail.

"Does it look familiar?" Li Xiang raised his eyebrows at Shen Ge.

Shen Ge picked up the small white pill with tweezers and brought it to his eyes to look at it. He then felt in his pocket, took out a small pill bottle, and poured out one pill.

Good guy, internal injury recovery pill!

Li Xiang smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I have to thank your friend. He is indeed an expert in pharmacology. Without the data he provided, I wouldn't have made this thing so quickly. Gong Quan, Zhou Jing, you go to Experiment No. 1 The research room continues the research on the xtpa-9684 treacherous equipment."

"Okay." The researcher who was named responded, picked up his things and walked towards the next door.

Li Xiang assigned tasks to others, and soon, only he and Shen Ge were left in Laboratory No. 2.

"Everyone has left, can you tell me now where you found this pill? After my testing, the ingredients of these two pills are almost the same. If you didn't give it to me... I would even suspect that it was me. It's done." Li Xiang said seriously.

Shen Ge struggled and said, "This matter is a long story."

"Then let's make a long story short." Li Xiang said calmly.

"I am a Transcendent Level warrior of the M78 Nebula. I have awakened the mystery-killing system in my body and can accurately capture the location of the Anomaly." Shen Ge looked serious.

Li Xiang adjusted his glasses: "You told me this before, but I forgot to tell you. I believed it, otherwise I wouldn't have let you cooperate with me in doing so many examinations. But unfortunately, all research reports and experimental results have confirmed , there is nothing related to Anomaly in your body, at least, it cannot be detected with current scientific and technological means."

"That's such a pity." Shen Ge sighed.

"Indeed." Li Xiang nodded in agreement.

"well."

"well."

The two of them sighed together, feeling a little regretful that they couldn't find anything from Shen Ge.

"So what's the difference between this red mist treacherous energy and ordinary treacherous energy?" Shen Ge asked.

Since there was no way to confirm the existence of the system, Shen Ge simply didn't think about it. After all, so far, the system had not had any negative impact on his body.

What's more, neither Tang Jinze nor Li Xiang can confirm its existence. Even if it has an impact, Shen Ge can only suffer it.

Li Xiang made some manipulations on the console. Two robotic arms reached into the culture tank and controlled the cutting machine to cut open the strange head in the tank, revealing the red mist strange energy inside.

Then, Li Xiang injected several more medicines into the culture tank. The red mist in Jui's head slowly dissipated. In the center, there was a fist-sized thing that looked like a brain, but was somewhat similar to a heart. The red object is beating "plop-plop".

"This 'heart'... let's call it a heart. It should be a part of a certain Anomaly. The Anomaly I am talking about is not the people with the twelve branches, but the real Anomaly. Based on my more than a month of research and speculation, combined with Judging from the report of the Haiya Research Institute, the leader of the twelve branches was a member of the Haiya Research Institute and hid part of Anomaly's body after the experimental accident."

"In other words, this 'heart' should be the 'first Anomaly discovered' as mentioned in the Haiya Research Institute's report, or it could be the second Anomaly found from the ground by the Institute through special energy detection."

"I remember you said that the leader of the twelve branches is close to two meters three. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a researcher to be that tall. So he should have been exposed to human experiments and mutated, or... the torso is his 'Ontology'."

Shen Ge frowned when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

Li Xiang replied: "According to what you said before, you chopped off the leader's head twice, and this one was chopped off when he was in his normal state. Except for a very few creatures, most creatures will have their heads chopped off. Death. Unless, this head is not a head, but something like a gecko's tail."

"You also mentioned that when the twelve leaders are fighting, they would rather give up using the red mist to protect their heads and limbs, but rather protect their bodies tightly. So I'm wondering if his body is just an 'empty shell' ’, or a piece of treacherous equipment? His true form hides in this piece of treacherous equipment and controls his body. His head, hands, and feet are actually all treacherous equipment."

Shen Ge thought for a while and raised a question: "Assuming your guess is correct, what about the cadres of the other twelve branches? I have fought with several members of the font. Apart from their heads and hands, they are actually not much different from normal people. Even if the head is cut open, there is no red mist magic inside, right?"

Li Xiang nodded: "Yes, the headquarters has completed the anatomy of 'You', and indeed no red mist secret energy was found on him. However...according to the test results of the report, You's human tissue and Anomaly tissue are still there They are separate, in other words, humans still reject Anomaly."

"The anomaly tissue on 'You' is also different from ordinary anomaly. After comparison, it was found that it came from the two heads you chopped off."

"After several days of video research, the person in charge of the twelve branches at the headquarters and I came to the conclusion that this leader became the only one to fuse with Anomaly, or to create a 'body', through the remains of the 'ancestral Anomaly' Case.”

"The parts transplanted by the other members of the twelve branches, the red tumors you see on their necks, came from the leader."

Shen Ge suddenly said: "The leader is fused with the Anomaly, the ancestor, and the cadres of the twelve branches are transplanted with cell tissue from the leader. Although the human body rejects Anomaly and uncanny energy, it does not exclude 'half-human, half-creepy' human tissue."

"Correct answer!" Li Xiang snapped his fingers.

Shen Ge was silent for a while, and then looked at Li Xiang with a strange expression: "So the solution you want to tell me about recharging the armor is..."

Li Xiang shook his head: "Unfortunately, you guessed wrong. After the temporary research team created by the headquarters and I came to this shocking conclusion, the superiors and the minister immediately had a call and strictly prohibited us from conducting human experiments. "

"In fact, we have tried to transplant the human tissue of the leader's half-human and half-trickster into mice and some animals whose genetic tissues are similar to humans, but all ended in failure. So the people of the twelve branches should have some kind of special method , or perhaps it was through a lot of 'sacrifice' that we achieved the current results."

"Then how to solve the charging problem of the armor?" Shen Ge is not interested in human experiments. After all, the system problem has not been solved yet. He doesn't want to stuff inexplicable things into his body, let alone the things on the twelve leaders. .

"Watch." Li Xiang said, continuing to control it, and put a piece of Anomaly meat with black mist into the culture tank.

Then, the "heart" in the head beat thumpingly, and the black magic energy in Anomaly's body was sucked into the heart as if being pulled, and soon the heart "spit out" the red magic energy.

"According to our tests, the 'Heart' can absorb trick energy and convert it into red trick energy. The red trick energy is completely harmless to human tissue, similar to the existence of a higher Rank One. The most important thing is that this star The 'heart' can absorb weak evil energy that cannot be seen by the naked eye."

"The 'LiXiang Type I Battle Armor' has the memory function of the trick brain and the fusion ability of the trick turtle. I want to integrate this 'heart' into the battle armor, so that it can absorb ordinary trick energy and transform it into red mist trick energy. , to achieve the effect of charging the armor." Li Xiang said.

Shen Ge said: "This is indeed a solution."

"If this 'heart' can be successfully integrated, then your Fire Gauntlets and other equipment can also be integrated into the armor. Of course, this is just my expectation, and the specific situation will be determined based on experiments. But you In conjunction with my work this month, I have simulated all the rough data, and only practice is left," Li Xiang said.

Being able to integrate equipment such as the Artifact Arm Armor and the Bloodskin Pocket into the armor can save Shen Ge a lot of trouble. He immediately said: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's start now?"

"OK."

However, the specific experimental process was much more difficult than Shen Ge and Li Xiang imagined. The two worked overtime in the laboratory for more than half a month, and finally used all the Anomaly corpses stored in the containment room in the past two months. Completed the armor upgrade——

"LiXiangII type battle armor"

Its initial state is the same as Type I, which is a black watch. The difference is that it has changed from two fingers wide to three fingers wide, and the thickness has increased by 0.5 cm. It looks more like a black "protector". wrist".

"LiXiang II type battle armor" has three forms -

One is the split form, that is, different effects of the trick equipment.

1. Shield.

The specific shape of the shield can be controlled by Shen Ge. It is a circular shield with a total area of ​​about two meters in diameter. It can change its shape as needed. It cannot continue to "enlarge", but it can be reduced. After the guile shield shrinks, its thickness will change and its defense will also increase.

The most important thing is that according to Shen Ge's choice, it can be attached and condensed on any part of the body, such as arms, back, chest, etc.

2. Tricky tentacles.

Shen Ge can control the carrion to cover both arms and turn them into tentacles. In the state of non-body-covering armor, the length of only the arms can reach ten meters, and if one arm is covered, it can extend to twenty meters. But as the length increases, the tentacles will become thinner and thinner, and their strength will also be greatly reduced.

Under the control of Xiaoqi, the multi-tentacle state can also be used, but the length and thickness will change according to the number.

Counting his own two hands, Shen Ge can transform into "one head and eight arms".

3. Weird stomach.

After upgrading, the stomach can be attached to both hands, which is equivalent to being divided into two. Although the swallowing size is doubled, it can swallow two targets at the same time.

If the Strange Stomach is used in conjunction with the Strange Tentacle, the attack distance can be extended from the original five meters to twenty-five meters, and the devouring effect remains unchanged.

The fourth and fifth forms are sneaky gloves and sneaky boots.

Shen Ge's sneaky gloves are different from the special equipment department's standard equipment, the slippery gloves, with the added feature of "holding on", and there is not much change after the upgrade.

The sneaky boots can double the original maximum jumping height of 8-10 meters by consuming the red mist sneak energy, but the consumption of the red mist sneak energy is very large, and it also requires Shen Ge to be attached to the whole body of the armor. The experiment can only be done under protection, otherwise the body will not be able to withstand the load brought by the jumping force.

6. Fire gauntlet.

After the gauntlet was successfully integrated into the battle armor, the intensity of the devious fire increased a lot, but the consumption of devious energy also increased. In the state of consuming the red mist's trick energy, the black trick fire turned into red trick fire, which was less powerful, but consumed a lot less trick energy.

7. Sneaky backpack.

After being integrated into the armor, Shen Ge can control the shape of the sneaky backpack at will, and can also switch between black and red. The maximum capacity is not much different from an ordinary backpack. But like the guile shield, it can be attached to any part of the body at will.

For example, Shen Ge turned it into a black shoulder bag and attached it to his back, and put the butcher knife into the bag. When Shen Ge wanted to use it, he only had to tell Xiao Qi what he needed, and he would kill it in the next second. The pig knife will pass through the carrion and the knife will be sent into his hand. No need to throw it casually, the carrion will send it into the bag.

The most important thing is that the items placed in the backpack will be shielded by the armor. The most advanced scanners currently cannot scan the items in the bag and can only detect that it is an empty backpack.

In addition to the split form of the "LiXiang II type battle armor", the remaining two forms are the body-attached battle armor form. After integrating the devious heart, even if it is integrated into the seven sub-forms, there will be no additional deceptive power. Consumption, defense power is stronger, and deception energy consumption is greatly reduced.

The previous maximum trick energy capacity was 300%, but after being integrated into the trick heart, it was expanded to 600%. The normal knife damage consumed by the weapon almost consumes no trick energy. For ordinary pistols, submachine guns, and rifles, it takes several shots to reduce the trick energy by 1%. The energy recovery rate is still 10% per hour, which has not changed much.

There is still not much change in appearance. The whole body is covered with melted rotten flesh. The "villain version" of venom gives people a more disgusting and terrifying feeling.

The third form is a state where the red mist's magic energy is fully activated, converting the black mist's magic energy into red mist, reducing consumption, making the armor enter "violent" mode, and enhancing various sub-state abilities.

As for the appearance... In Shen Ge's words, it looks more like Anomaly than Anomaly.

Two months have passed since the end of the Dajing disaster to the completion of the armor upgrade. In addition to completing the weekly tasks every week, Shen Ge spent most of his time in the laboratory to cooperate with Li Xiang's work.

The successful upgrade of the armor has greatly improved his strength, and the daily survival rewards plus weekly rewards have also allowed his mental power to successfully exceed 600% and complete the level 3 rating!

[Congratulations to the host for successfully advancing to level 3, you will be rewarded with 1 characteristic enhancement point and system function upgrade! ]

"System function upgrade?" Shen Ge was a little surprised when he heard this prompt. After all, there was no prompt when he upgraded from level 0 to level 1, but he became able to see weak ghost energy.

Level 1-2 gave some strengthening points, and he only discovered the appearance of [vehicle] in the lottery system when he was doing the lottery at the Seoul base.

This time, the upgrade from level 2 to level 3 directly prompted the system function upgrade, which immediately made him curious about what changes would happen.

——————————————

Judging from the information panel, Shen Ge did not notice any changes in the system. After opening the system, there were still only three sections: [Panel], [Log], and [Lottery].

"So where did you upgrade the system?" Shen Ge asked.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response from the system.

"Sigh. It seems that this upgrade is similar to the upgrade from 0 to 1. There should be some kind of change, but you can only discover it yourself." Shen Ge sighed, the system's intelligence was never as good as Xiaoqi's.

Garbage system!

…

"Detective Shen!"

On this day, when Shen Ge was cooperating with Li Xiang in the research on armor in the laboratory as usual, he hurriedly found the spy Tu Doupi.

Since Tu Doupi and Yang Yuxin joined, Shen Ge's state in the past two months is somewhat similar to Deng Yuqi's back then. Low-level Anomaly incidents are all handled by them, and they will only take action at level 1 or above.

But there is still Lin Yin, the scroll king, in the Naihe department, so there are occasionally one or two level 2 anomaly incidents, but Shen Ge's turn is actually not his turn.

Unless the Anomaly materials in the underground containment area are exhausted, Shen Ge will be taken out of the laboratory and search for Anomaly materials on the streets.

At this time, Tu Doupi came to see him, and he obviously encountered a problem that they couldn't solve.

"What happened?" Shen Ge asked.

Tu Doupi said solemnly: "When Captain Lin was investigating an Anomaly incident, he discovered a group of twelve people and tracked them all the way to a high-end club in Shiyanqiao. They were lost after chasing them, but the existence of a mysterious space was detected. Captain Lin I’m keeping watch there, and I’ll let you go over and take a look, saying there’s something wrong with that strange space. It seems like... it’s controlled by humans!”
