Cataclysm King - #71 - Chapter 71: doctor booty

  Chapter 71 The Doctor’s Spoils

  As soon as the doctor died, the spear was also pulled by an invisible force, and it flew back from the trajectory it flew just now.

  Ji Xun didn’t dare to be careless, and quietly retreated to the edge of the floor, thinking: “Have you been taken as an oriole?”

   Seeing that the three of them didn’t intend to jump down to do something, he didn’t jump into the abyss immediately.

  These three mysterious people were probably not attracted by the explosion, but followed the doctor.

   Moreover, this old believer was severely injured with one move, and he was carrying a third-level relic, so strong that he was a little incomprehensible.

   This is not good news for Ji Xun.

Before he could guess, the strong man with a spear in his hand seemed to be afraid that he would jump off the building, so he didn’t do anything that would be misunderstood, and he took the initiative to say: “My friend, don’t get me wrong. We have nothing to do with you. malicious.”

   As he spoke, he declared his identity again: “We are investigators of the Federal X Bureau, chasing this guy from the Silver Moon Sect.”

  X Bureau?

  Ji Xun heard Chu Jiu said it.

  But to him, it doesn’t matter whether the identity is true or not.

  He didn’t jump off the building not because he was curious about the identities of the three.

   Instead, I want to see if there is still hope for the spoils.

  The man seemed to be very keen, glanced at the corpse, and said quietly: “At first, I wanted to catch him alive, but since you killed him, forget it.”

  Old-day believers have the brand of belief in gods, so they have no interrogation value.

   Saying this, I just want to have the right to speak actively.

  “.”

  Ji Xun still didn’t say a word, tacitly said: Did you go for that spear just now because you wanted to keep alive?

   But he didn’t do anything, he was a little confused about the purpose of these three people.

  The man stopped talking, and went straight to the topic, and said again: “I want to ask, did you provide the clues for Sequoia Street?”

  The tone is polite.

  Hearing this, Ji Xun had a slightly different expression: What does this mean?

  But after thinking for a moment, he also directly admitted: “Yes.”

  There is no point in hiding.

  The other party has chased here, and they are also carrying the relics of restraint and healing, so they obviously know a lot.

   But since he didn’t do it right away, there is room for negotiation.

   Hearing this, the man was not surprised, and said again: “How about a deal.”

   Didn’t wait for Ji Xun to speak.

  He said directly: “You give me all the information you know about the Silver Moon Sect. In exchange, the storage ring of this corpse belongs to you.”

  The three of Xie Guozhong came all the way, the main purpose is to get information about the Silver Moon Sect.

   Now in this situation, it seems that there is a better choice.

  A person behind the scenes who conspired to destroy the three Silver Moon strongholds!

  Hearing this, Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.

   Open your mouth, this guy is very intuitive.

  He obviously guessed that he didn’t escape the first time just now, just because of the things on the corpse.

  That’s why there is this deal.

  If it was other terms of exchange, Ji Xun still couldn’t come up with something that was not equivalent.

   But. Intelligence?

  Ji Xun felt a little strange.

  He also guessed this guy’s intentions. Obviously, in the eyes of these three people, intelligence is more valuable than any spoils of war.

   Or, want both?

  Ji Xun asked tentatively, “It’s a deal?”

  The man responded sonorously and forcefully: “It’s a deal.”

The advantage is not his own, Ji Xun didn’t say any more, and said directly: “I found the four-pillar sacrifice ceremony of the Old God Sect in a ruin. It happened that the moon appeared in these two days, and I also knew that there was also a ceremony at No. 17 Tailor Street The location of the sacrificial ceremony, so I guessed the other three strongholds.”

   There 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 those three people expected.

   It’s gone while talking.

   Waiting for Ji Xun to finish speaking, the man was obviously taken aback, and asked in surprise, “That’s it?”

  Ji Xun: “That’s it.”

  He only knew so much.

   It seems that the name “Silver Moon Sect” is just known.

  Ji Xun also guessed that these three guys probably thought it was the clues he provided, so they would know a very detailed inside story.

   Obviously this answer disappointed them.

  He thought this guy would go back on his word.

   Unexpectedly, at this time, that guy laughed heartily: “Hahahaha.”

   It seemed that he was laughing at himself for his miscalculation, but he didn’t hear the slightest sign of repentance.

  Ji Xun just looked at that guy like this, keeping a close eye on the details of the body of the three of them from the corner of his eye, and also his surroundings.

  I have said everything that needs to be said, and if there is any other purpose, there is no need to hide it at this time.

  But what surprised him was that the man actually kept his promise and said loudly: “Okay! This corpse is yours now.”

As he said that, he turned around and wanted to leave, and he didn’t forget to add: “If you have information about any old sects next time, try to avoid the Golden Oak Security Company. You can go to the train tavern to find the bartender and say It was introduced by ‘Old Xie’. I will pay for the information.”

   Like this time.

  Ji Xun listened, and responded: “Okay!”

   After the voice fell, the three figures actually turned their heads and disappeared.

  Ji Xun also looked sideways slightly, a little unconfident.

  Although these three people are just a third-level relic, and they look rich and powerful, they must have come from the rich mine layer.

   But really leave without even looking?

  The three walked back all the way.

While walking, Xie Guozhong sighed all the way: “Hey, I thought it was at least a first-level curse card master, but I didn’t expect it to be just an apprentice. It’s really impressive. An apprentice card master actually forced “Plague Doctor” Heisen here kind of degree. If it wasn’t for the almost means, he could really kill a Tier 2. “

  Hearing this, the assistant Awen was a little unwilling, 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, chuckled and said, “There are 80,000 or 100,000 suspicious guys in Innocence City. Could it be possible to arrest them all and ask 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 say everything just now?”

  Awen still wants to argue, “Yes”

  Xie Guozhong asked three questions in succession.

   “Is he our enemy?”

“no.”

   “Is he a believer of old?”

   “It seems not.”

“Then why should we arrest him? We are the most authoritative law enforcement agency in the Federation, not gangsters, nor the group of guys in the system who have been corrupted by power. If we can’t enforce the law impartially, then what do you think? Where is the meaning of the law, and what is the maintenance of the federal order?”

  “.”

  The truth is this.

   But hearing his captain say such a bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang words from their captain, both assistants found it inconceivable.

Mushroom head widened his eyes and blinked again and again. At the same time, he couldn’t help breaking the stage, and said quietly: “Captain, isn’t your occupational sequence [diamond-6-outlaw lunatic]? rule”

   Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lost all the “evidence” in a bet just now.

  Xie Guozhong seemed to be used to this little brat tearing things down, and he said solemnly: “Disorder itself is a kind of order. It’s not that there are no rules. Besides, we are doing things according to the law. Federation. Which law is there in the Federation?”

  Mushroom head said for him: “Article 177 of the Law Enforcement Code of the Federal Court, there is no suspicion. If the law enforcement officers are unclear about the criminal facts of the suspect and the evidence is not reliable or sufficient, they should not enforce the law by force.”

   “Well, just this one.”

  Xie Guozhong nodded, and said: “Besides, that guy only knows so much. Why bother?”

  Mushroom Head has already heard it, the captain is afraid of trouble.

  Awen still didn’t 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 disdain to lie. The more conceited the person, the more so.”

  Xie Guozhong shook his head, didn’t explain much, and strode forward.

  Awen was still puzzled, but she didn’t speak again.

  At this time, Mushroom Head also said: “Captain, didn’t you say that that guy took something from the sacrificial base. We don’t want to go and see?”

Xie Guozhong had an expression on his face that eating public meals would save one thing and one thing: “There are so many treasures in the world. There are a lot of ancient relics and catastrophic objects in the warehouse of the headquarters. You see less? What do you want? Send a report That’s good. Since he is not an old believer, he doesn’t care what he takes. And since he dares to make up his mind, he can naturally contain it. It will save us finding something and writing a lot of containment reports to explain how this thing is. come”

  Ancient relics, cataclysmic objects, etc., others sharpen their heads and think about it.

   For the people in Bureau X, they are really just tools.

  As long as you can use it, the bureau can make a report and it will come out.

  The two assistants were taken aback when they heard this, and they were all in disbelief: the old ace agent in the bureau didn’t pass on any crime-solving skills, but he was actually passing on his fishing experience to them?

With that said, Xie Guozhong added another sentence: “Besides, I have always told people that ‘it is settled’. People keep their promises, this is their own order. In the future, you will know that order is one of the highest laws, and you will It affects a person’s luck and state of mind. If you can’t even hold on to yourself, you won’t be able to go far in the future.”

  Awen: “.”

Mushroom head:”.”

   It seems that they have heard some important experience, and the two assistants don’t understand it.

   “By the way, boss, the court is urging us to submit the investigation report on the case of Cao Sihai’s attack as soon as possible, but the clues we have so far are not enough to draw an accurate conclusion”

   “Just write a few sentences casually.”

   “Ah, write whatever you want?”

   “Otherwise? Do you think that group of old and cunning guys in the parliament really want to investigate the truth? Hehe, they just want a report to give an explanation to outsiders. Besides, there is a master plan this time, so it would be strange to find out.”

“oh.”

   “But having said that, it’s really hard to say who was the mastermind of the maze attack in the Great Cemetery. But the style of behavior is a bit like the gang of “Thirteen Kamen Riders” who are afraid of chaos.”

  “.”

   The three of them left the cave while talking.

  Ji Xun watched the three disappear and did not act in a hurry.

   Instead, he stood there for a while and observed.

   After confirming that the three of them had really left, he approached very cautiously.

  Sarcomas grew out of the corpse, which was a sign of the early stage of distortion.

  The corpse collector is very familiar with it.

   To continue, the out-of-control extraordinary characteristics will probably turn it into a monster.

   But it is good news for Ji Xun.

  After the corpse is deformed, the extraordinary characteristics will expand disorderly for a period of time, and the overall will be stronger than it was before it was alive.

  He was completely unafraid of pollution, walked to the side, swallowed the feast, and his attributes rose again.

  Plague doctor is full of toxins, he didn’t dare to touch it.

   While devouring, use the robotic arm to pack up the spoils.

  The clothes are almost burned, so it’s easy to count.

  In addition to two storage rings, a card slot, and an amber item the size of half a brick.

   It’s that little piece of psychic.

  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 may have figured out why the corpse collector team exploded.

  Even if they saw the big hole in the morgue, no one would rush down in a short time.

  But Ji Xun thought about it, and decided to change places first.

  He carried the corpse with his mechanical arm and went all the way to an inconspicuous depth in the crypt.

   There are no law enforcement agencies in Innocence City, and no one will meddle in other people’s affairs if there is no major incident.

  Time flies for hours.

  There was no accident this time, and the digestion was completed smoothly.

   Seven in the morning.

  On the street, workers can already be seen handing over and going to and from get off work one after another, and the city of innocence is busy.

  On the roof of an abandoned building.

  A figure lightly jumped over the distance of more than ten meters between the terraces.

   After confirming that no one was following him, Ji Xun found a place where there was no one and stopped.

  He sat on the rusted iron tower, overlooking the city shrouded in darkness and smog from a height.

   By the way, count the loot.

   Ji Xun let out a long breath.

  He’s in great shape right now.

  Before he got the second piece of [Secret Cause Psychic], his power value was “4.9”, but now it has skyrocketed to “8.44” overnight.

  The two hundred kilograms of heavy iron used for training before is now as easy as wearing a shirt.

   Not just power.

  Physique, tenacity, and agility have all broken 8.

  Single attribute can break 8, which is already the level that most apprentices with eighth-level and ninth-level spell masters can only achieve.

   Ji Xun is strong in all dimensions.

   Combat power has also soared a lot again visible to the naked eye.

   Not only physical combat power, but also the harvest of spoils is very gratifying.

   Ji Xun thought of something, took out a card and flicked it, and a sharp scalpel appeared in his hand.

   It was the Level I ancient relic — [Plague Doctor’s Scalpel].

  The original owner of this scalpel is dead, and the spiritual imprint has also disappeared. He can easily put his own imprint on it.

  Infused with mental power, the air around the blade will tremble slightly, and the flying knife will become extremely sharp.

   With a light swipe, as if piercing the air, a smooth cut immediately appeared on an iron pillar of the rusted iron tower beside him, exposing the cold steel inside the rust.

  Sharp +9, this is also the sharpest weapon he has ever seen.

  The greatsword of the Frost Knight obtained before is only sharp +3.

   “It’s really sharp”

  Ji Xun played with it, and couldn’t put it down more and more.

   Moreover, this scalpel also has an extraordinary attribute of “breaking magic +35%”.

   This is the most powerful.

   That is to say.

   This scalpel may be harmful to scraping against heavy armored warriors like the Frost Knight armor.

  But it is very useful for defending against the legal system!

   Regardless of the first- and second-level spell card masters, as long as they can get close and poke randomly, there is a high probability that they will poke a blood hole.

  The only thing that is not ideal is that the scalpel is a long-range combat weapon in the hands of the doctor.

   And currently in his hand, it is just a melee knife.

  Ji Xun has tried many times before. He wanted to use his mind to control the flying knife, and once out of ten times he could slightly deviate from the trajectory.

   And the attack range is only a few meters.

   It is impossible to control the flying knife with mind power in a short period of time.

   One is proficiency, and the other is mental power.

  And this scalpel caused a small wound, if it didn’t hit a vital point, it would be difficult to be fatal.

  Cannot be used as a conventional weapon, only for sneak attack.

   But Ji Xun is already very satisfied.

   Now he has a piece of equipment that can really threaten the life of a spell card master.

  Combined with the shadow stealth and super high agility, he felt that he was almost a good assassin.

  The doctor’s tactical card slot still has some one-time skill cards, such as [Plague Miasma], [Acid Splash], [Venomous Tentacle] and other magic cards.

   These are Tier 2 cards.

  But Ji Xun doesn’t dare to use it indiscriminately.

  Although the skill card can be used after activation.

  But without an understanding of related spells and a certain level of proficiency in flying cards, the more advanced the card, the more dangerous it is.

  For example, how much mana needs to be infused to activate the card, and how long it takes to fly out after infusion to reach the expected precise time of explosion.

   The result of being unskilled is that it might blow up in your hand, or fly out without being activated.

  Ji Xun had attended some card lessons at the Hunter’s Guild before.

  I know why spells in this world are sealed in cards one by one.

  The fundamental reason is that card masters have no belief in gods.

  All the supernatural powers that humans in ancient times could master came from gods.

  In ancient times, those **** believers chanted magic and would chant the title of a certain god. In response, the gods will help his followers to master and understand some elemental rules beyond the scope of their abilities, and also impart extraordinary knowledge.

   This is “supernatural grant.”

   Later, a great **** created the card system, borrowing the power of the imprinted demon to allow human beings to awaken extraordinary power without believing in any gods.

   Then use the card 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 point of view, the benefits of cards are obvious: instant, powerful, and card groups!

  Card masters must master this spell if they want to make skill cards.

  But they seldom release spells directly, all because the power of direct use will be very small, and it takes time to condense the spells.

   Sealing the spell into the card in advance, although it will consume a lot of material costs, it also allows the card master to cast various spells instantly.

   And the power will be even greater.

  It’s like putting gunpowder into the shell, and the detonation will be more miraculous.

   Another point is the card combination.

  For example: [Fireball] + [Oil Injection] Two first-level cards can form a compound magic, burning a large area.

   This needs to be replaced by normal spellcasting. It is impossible for a person to release two spells at the same time.

  But it can be easily done by using cards.

  Even triple-card and quadruple-card compound spells.

  The card proficiency is high enough. As long as the spell power is not consumed too much, the spell card master can release compound spells that are much more powerful than their own ranks.

   There are also advantages such as easy portability, long release distance, and concealment.

   There are many benefits.

  So this is also the most important reason why the world rejects the old believers very much.

  If extraordinary power can be mastered by oneself, why should one pray to some god?

  You can stand, why kneel?

   Both of the doctor’s storage rings are stuffed.

   Various bottles and cans, some with labels, some without.

  Ji Xun didn’t open it randomly.

  In addition to being interested in the scalpel, he is also very curious about one other thing.

   That is the self-healing secret technique that guy used before.

   Two storage rings, one containing various materials, poisons and antidotes.

  The other one contains various surgical tools, as well as many medical books and scrolls.

   Ji Xun casually browsed through it, and most of them were related to plague and alchemy.

  What is it like “Extraction of Infectious Substances from Black Death Corpses”, “Detailed Explanation of Human Anatomy”, “Necessary Medical Knowledge for Dr. Yazui”.

   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 a lot of research in this area.

  Ji Xun is also interested in these books.

   But don’t rush, take your time when you have time.

  He searched and found an iron box in the corner.

  Opened it and saw that it was exactly what he wanted.

   This is a handwritten research notebook called “Cell Activity Boiling”.

   “It’s actually handwritten?”

   Ji Xun was also very surprised.

   After comparing the notes again, it turned out that these were the practice notes that the doctor figured out by himself?

  It recorded in detail his various experiences in practicing this secret method.

   “Hiss, it turned out to be a remnant of some ancient demonic forbidden technique.”

  Ji Xun looked through it roughly, and understood the origin of this note.

  There is such a paragraph in this note:

“Old man Duan always has some weird things in his hands. He recently went to the Old Continent, digging up an ancient tomb, and harvested a lot of treasures. I exchanged a piece of broken copper from the old man, which is said to be a plague Doctor-related stuff.”

“My piety has been answered. The great Moon with Thousand Faces has given me the ability to read the ancient devil 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. Let me also understand this part of the content , wrote it down, and summed up this secret technique.”

  「.”

  Researchers like to take some notes, which is also convenient for Ji Xun.

  After reading the beginning of the notes, he knew what this secret technique was all about.

   Looking again, apart from the notebook, there is indeed a broken piece of copper under the iron box, which looks like an ancient item.

  The copper plate is densely engraved with some incomprehensible spell symbols.

  Ji Xun looked over, it seemed that a single word contained a lot of information, and it didn’t take long to make people dizzy.

   And what’s strange is that with his photographic memory, after reading it once and then recalling it, he has no impression at all.

  Ji Xun’s expression was also very surprised: “Something beyond cognition?”

  He has read the notes, and already knows that the symbols on the copper plate are the legendary ancient devil language.

  The doctor also borrowed the will of the gods to understand part of it.

   Enlightenment is also shown very simply.

  【Mysterious copper sheet】

  Detailed Explanation: It records the fragments of a certain ancient demon forbidden technique;

  Ji Xun looked at it again, but apart from being dizzy, he still didn’t remember the words on the copper plate at all.

  He didn’t bother anymore.

  Anyway, things fell into my hands, and I will have the opportunity to study them sooner or later.

  He looked at the doctor’s notes.

Ji Xun took a rough look and summarized some content: “Learning this secret technique requires relevant medical knowledge to reach Lv5, wood element affinity 45; after practicing, you can get the passive of ‘strong growth’, and you have super strong cells Vitality and body tissue regeneration ability; active casting requires a large amount of mana and life essence to heal the wounds that have been caused on the flesh and blood level, and the subject is immune to some negative energy erosion”

   This is indeed the secret technique of the guy who was almost immortal.

   But the learning threshold is not low.

   Wood element affinity is not a big problem, it is only 21 now, absorb more corpses, and it will slowly get up.

   But “Medical Knowledge Lv5” is a bit difficult.

  For a layman with little medical knowledge, it may take many years to study.

  Ji Xun is also optimistic.

  The threshold for learning high-end secret methods is also high.

   Besides, he originally wanted to learn medical knowledge, such as surgical first aid or something.

   You can’t rely on potions to pour indiscriminately every time you get injured.

  Super high comprehension and photographic memory to learn things very quickly, as long as conditions permit, it will not take long to reach the threshold.

   It is described in the notes that this [Cell Activity Boiling] is a forbidden technique to activate the potential of the body with mana.

  The reason why it is called “forbidden technique” is because it consumes the essence of life.

  In layman’s terms, life is what is consumed.

  However, this skill was originally used for first aid and life-saving.

   Consuming life and dying, this multiple-choice question is not difficult.
