Chapter 767: Dead Pen’s Warning

Xia Shou spent half a day dealing with some trivial matters in the department, and also solved some reports that had to be completed in person, and then asked Li Ming to help him arrange some preparation activities.

In this incident, Xia Shou had to spend a lot of time to pay for the frequent use of [Future Prefabrication].

In the next few weeks, he had to do things including but not limited to drawing self-portraits, making lightning guns and wind blade bullets, making mirrored contact lenses and super-large mirror palaces.

However, these tasks only took time and were not difficult. Just take your time. What Xia Shou was most worried about was the optimization of skills.

He had too many skills, which needed to be fused and reduced. The residue obtained by devouring a large number of corpses also had to be used to the fullest. In order not to delete the most critical core function of the skills during fusion, a lot of trial and error of [Self-Death] was needed, which was a brain-consuming and precise work.

Before starting this work, Xia Shou planned to have a good talk with the Death Recorder Notes.

Xia Shou not only consulted him about the fusion of skills, he also wanted to talk about the Evil King and the origin of his strange ability. He felt that the Death Note must know a lot.

Back in the dormitory, Xia Shou took out the Death Note and told him everything during the advent of the Divine Law in detail, and then asked: "Do I have an ability to attack the corresponding things on the other side through some carriers?"

The Death Note did not answer directly, but asked an irrelevant question: [Didn't you miss anything? Except for the attack you and Edward encountered on the pedestrian street at the beginning, did you encounter any attacks from suspected traitors later? ]

"Uh... maybe, but none of them looked like the handwriting of a traitor. Naganuma Jusaburo used to be in the same group with Robert, and Robert was the traitor behind him. If you have to say it, only this portrait incident can be related to the traitor."

[It doesn't seem like it, but the name of the person who passed the secret has been unsealed, and it was you who unsealed it, so maybe the secret about you will not be leaked.

But for the sake of safety, let's not talk about this topic for the time being. When you see Jin Fenglong again, remember to ask. 】

"Okay, but the skills swallowed by the shadow are difficult to deal with. Many skills are very important. If they are merged, they may lose some functionality. Is there any way to reduce the number of skills while preserving the skill effects?"

[You want to reduce the number and keep the skill effects intact. Don't you think you are too greedy? If you can do this, the strength of the shadow will not be what it is now, and even the House of Merlin will not be necessary.

The purpose of fusion is to reduce the number of skills. The reduction in the number of skills will inevitably lead to a decline in overall combat power, but the average combat power of the skills after fusion will increase, so look far ahead, this is a spiral growth trajectory. 】

"I remember you said that if I had the talent of a craftsman, it would be possible to make the skills into a forbidden object."

[I said that, but do you?

To do this, the piety of the tailor is very high, but do you believe it? Faith in God is not just talk, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it. 】

"Can I ask someone else for help?"

[It is very difficult to find a craftsman who can turn abnormality into a forbidden object. The status of such a craftsman in the tailoring system is equivalent to that of "Golden Needle". Such a person is hard to find.

Even if they find one, they may not necessarily help you. Even if they agree to help you, the risk of leaking the information of the shadow cannot be ignored. The other party may not be a trustworthy companion.

Therefore, the method of turning the extraordinary power swallowed by the shadow into a forbidden object only exists in very ideal circumstances and is not feasible.

But the ego mask you mentioned may have the potential for further development. 】

"How to develop it?"

[Rely on yourself. I don't know everything. I haven't learned about this ego mask either.

Remember to ask Jin Fenglong after he ascends again to see if you can tell him about your matter. If you can, many things will be much easier to deal with next.

In addition, you can't let your guard down. Although the situation seems to be getting better, there are many strange things in many places.

Also, don't drink the blood that Shangguan Yan gave you in the future. I thought of a document I had seen before. It is said that there is a strange creature's blood that can temporarily resist the curse of the Root Sea, but it does not eliminate the curse, but turns the one-time curse into a long-term chronic curse.

Just like buying things, normal people pay in full, but drinking that blood becomes an installment loan. Although the down payment is almost free, the interest rate is extremely high. It will be paid bit by bit over time. The final price to pay is far more terrible than directly bearing it.

Aren't you experiencing some strange symptoms now? In fact, this is the side effect of your initial drinking of that blood that is slowly beginning to manifest.

It's not too late to stop now. As long as the growth rate is fast enough, the impact of those curses can be slowly offset, just like you have a loan, but as long as your monthly income is high enough, you can always pay it off slowly.

But if you continue to drink, the interest compounding will overwhelm you, and your sanity will quickly rush to madness like a snowball. 】

Xia Shou heard this and his expression suddenly changed. For a moment, he was a little bit unbelievable.

"Really? Are you sure this is that kind of blood?"

[How can I be 100% sure, but judging from the various characteristics, there is a 90% chance that it is there.

Remember, Shangguan Yan is called a witch for a reason. Don't forget that before you, there were others who were called witches. Don't think you are so special.

Just imagine that she dared to give you this kind of exaggerated forbidden item when you first joined the company.

Think about it again. Which of the jobs you have been doing is not a life-threatening job. Do you think she is carefully training you? 】

"The director... I don't think she is such a bad person." Xia Shou hesitated.

【Stay away, don't kill yourself. What do you think those trump cards think of her before? The reason why a witch is a witch is that she can make people willing to trade with her, like a devil who tempts mortals, leading people to destruction. 】

"I will be careful." Xia Shou agreed.

Although he felt that Shangguan Yan was far from being as bad as the notes said, he also knew that many things were clear to the bystander. If you trust your own judgment too much, sometimes you will go astray... just like Yue Zhuo Village.

Xia Shou closed the notes and sighed deeply.

He still remembered that Shangguan Yan had asked him for the Seven-branch Fragment. He had decided that if she really needed it, he would give it to her.

But now, after hearing the warning in the Death Record Note, he hesitated again.

In fact... thinking about it carefully, he didn't know the Minister at all.

Not to mention her past, he didn't even know what her daily life was like. He knew nothing about her hobbies, activities after get off work, and non-business interpersonal relationships.

Perhaps, as the note said, he was just confused by her powerful power.
