Chapter 357: Escorting the Miracle (1)
After a simple test, Feng Qi confirmed one thing.
The small black ball carried by the blue-skinned a.s.sa.s.sins had the ability to locate miracle items.
From this, he speculated that the blue-skinned a.s.sa.s.sins seemed to be searching for miracle items everywhere.
But new questions followed.
He was not a miracle. How could the small black ball track him?
He had once suspected that he might have a miracle item on him.
At that time, the first subject he suspected was the narrator, thinking that it might also be a kind of miracle.
After all, the existing information did not prove that miracles had to be objects and could not have autonomous consciousness.
Even if it wasn’t the narrator, he felt that it might be himself.
Before becoming entering the sacrifice timeline, he could kill creatures and absorb their blood essence power. He could also extract the innate abilities of the killed creatures.
This ability could not be a.s.sociated with being “normal” no matter how one looked at it.
Such a terrifying ability was very similar to a miracle that could give special abilities.
However, no matter which possibility it was, logically speaking, it had nothing to do with him, who was in the sacrifice timeline.
He, who had entered the sacrifice timeline, had lost his talent to plunder abilities and absorb blood and Qi, let alone have the narrator by his side.
He was a very normal person. There was nothing special about him.
He couldn’t help but wonder if the narrator and the his other self had left some kind of mark on him when they disappeared.
Or some kind of aura remnant causing the small black ball that could track the miracles to locate him.
However, all of this was just speculation.
As for the exact reason, he did not know for now.
At this moment, Li Duo quickly walked to his side. He first looked at him in confusion, then followed his gaze to the blood stone. Finally, his gaze focused on him again.
“Commander Feng, what’s wrong?”
Feng Qi shook his head and reached out to return the small black ball to Li Duo.
“I’m sorry. I sensed the fluctuation emitted by the small black ball just now, so I searched in the direction of the fluctuation. Just as you said, the energy fluctuation emitted by this small black ball can locate the blood stone.”
Upon hearing this, Li Duo pondered for a moment before smiling.
“Commander Feng, you’ve roughly understood the situation. Do you have any other questions?”
Feng Qi immediately said,
“Supervisor Li, why is there such a laboratory under the recruitment hall of the supply area? Is it necessary?”
Upon hearing this, Li Duo smiled and replied,
“This laboratory was built earlier than the recruitment hall. It was originally the Former Days Research Inst.i.tute’s base outside the city. It was mainly used to carry out some dangerous experiments that they feared that would affect the people in the city. Later, the Combat Team Headquarters planned for a supply area at the front line nearby. As the supply area was expanded, this place became a part of the supply area.”
“This underground research base was originally not very useful. I was temporarily a.s.signed here by the Former Days Research Inst.i.tute to carry out research projects because of the blood stone.”
Hearing Li Duo’s explanation, Feng Qi came to a realization.
Previously, he had wondered why the research laboratory was set up in such an unsafe place.
From the looks of it, even Li Duo was personnel who was temporarily a.s.signed here.
At this stage, the blood stone could not be transported out of the supply area at all. Otherwise, this blood stone would have long been in the Former Days Research Inst.i.tute.
With this in mind, he looked at Li Duo and asked,
“Supervisor Li, how many combat teams are there with us this time?”
Faced with the question, Li Duo immediately nodded and said,
“In addition to the Dawn Domain Combat Team, there are also the Green Mountain Domain Combat Team, the Sky Pillar Domain Combat Team, the Desert Domain Combat Team… a total of 12 combat teams will launch a joint operation.”
“The exact time is set to be five days later. At that time, you will set off from the recruitment hall and send the blood stone to the Former Days City along the main road. Finally, you will hand them over to the staff of the Former Days Research Inst.i.tute who will come to receive you.”
The 12 combat teams that Li Duo mentioned are all extremely famous top-notch combat teams.
Among them, the commander of the Sky Pillar Domain Combat Team, Qin Shikong, had once met him and did a divination reading for him.
After understanding the detailed process of the mission, Feng Qi immediately nodded to express his understanding.
At this moment, Li Duo continued,
“When all the supporting combat teams are here, 1’11 hold another meeting. The persons-in-charge for the 12 combat teams will discuss the specific plan for this operation. I don’t know anything about this aspect, so you can decide…”
After some communication, Feng Qi bade farewell to Li Duo and returned to the hotel with Lu Yue.
In the next two days, two more combat teams arrived and were arranged to stay in other hotels nearby.
During this period, Feng Qi was not idle.
He continued to cultivate Immortality of the Mind.
The advantages of this mental attack technique were very obvious. Every time he cultivated it, his mental strength would be significantly strengthened.
However, flaws gradually appeared during cultivation.
Now, he would feel a stabbing pain in his body from time to time, and his control over his body would decrease.
Originally, the ability given to him by the Demon Dragon was perfect control of his body muscles.
However, this ability was gradually weakening after he cultivated the Immortality of the Mind.
Just as Lin Ran had said, the excessive strengthening of his mental strength had already made his body “incompatible”.
If he continued to cultivate, it was very likely that his almost materialized mental consciousness would break through the restraints of his body and turn him into a purely spiritual lifeform.
This made him think of “souls”..
