The End of the World: I am a rent collector in a shelter

Chapter 81 Someone Has to Walk in Front
As the crystal core changed, the seemingly casual Ji Wanwan tightened her hands slightly and stared at Xu Siming without blinking.

With the experience of losing consciousness last time as a lesson, Xu Siming concentrated his mental power highly this time.

The moment the light blue energy column entered his body, Xu Siming felt so cool and comfortable that he almost hummed.

Qi Hao on the side touched his chin.

Tsk, why does this expression look like something happened?

Is it so pleasurable to inhale crystal cores?
It made him want to try it too.

After carefully sensing it, Xu Siming stopped sensing the energy of the crystal core.

When he opened his eyes again, the light blue light in his eyes was particularly enchanting, with a captivating beauty.

They also absorbed the energy of the crystal core. After absorbing it, the people from the Bai Ze Union had a scarlet color in their eyes that only zombies had, while Xu Siming's eyes were still a light aqua blue.

In addition, the energy fluctuations emitted by Xu Siming were pure water energy, without a trace of evil aura, which was completely different from those people in Bai Ze Guild.

Ji Wanwan and everyone present could clearly feel that Xu Siming had become stronger again.

He slowly raised his hand, and a small water ball with water energy condensed in the palm of his hand.

Looking at the miniatures of everyone in the small water ball, Xu Siming thought: "My Voice of the Sea God... has broken through the third level..."

Ji Wanwan asked hurriedly: "Do you feel anything strange?"

Xu Siming curled his lips: "How should I put it? I have never taken drugs, so I don't know what it feels like after taking drugs, but to be honest, absorbing the energy of the crystal core can really make people feel high!"

"This..." Qi Hao's mouth twitched: "Old Xu, you are experimenting with loneliness!"

Everyone: "..."

Wu Xun at the side raised his hand silently: "No need to try again. Brother Xu is different from the people in Bai Ze Union. He has not shown any zombie-like behavior."

Qi Hao subconsciously asked back: "How do you know?"

Everyone was silent for a while.

Wu Xun had been in the Bai Ze Guild for so long that he was well aware of their reactions after absorbing the crystal cores, and he could tell at a glance that Xu Siming was different.

Qi Hao, who had reacted, touched his head awkwardly: "Ahem, nothing, let's continue the meeting."

Ji Wanwan held his forehead with his hand and asked, "Brother Wu, is the way my senior absorbs crystal core energy the same as that of the Bai Ze Union?"

"This..." Wu Xun looked embarrassed: "From the outside, there is not much difference, but I have never tried the union method, so I can't answer whether the internal energy flow is the same."

Wu Xun's words were very rigorous, and Ji Wanwan couldn't find any problems: "Okay, then let's put this topic aside for now. We'll discuss it again when we have new clues later."

She glanced at the almost empty milk tea, thought for a moment, and drank the last sip: "Does anyone have any other ideas?"

Ji Xing raised her hand weakly: "Sister, I'm more curious about that little blood bead."

The small blood beads are an important discovery of this operation, so it is natural to talk about it at this meeting.

Ji Wanwan nodded, took out the small blood beads from the system space, and placed them neatly on the conference table.

The one on the left was Xiang Rui whom she crushed to death, and the 22 on the right were taken from Bai Ze.

Ji Wanwan propped up her chin and stared at the small blood beads without blinking: "Have you noticed any difference between the blood beads on these two sides?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Well, Ji Wanwan herself didn’t realize it either.

She thought of the two uses that Hu Peng had mentioned in the underground casino. But now she only had one blood bead, so it was difficult to verify Hu Peng's words.

Ji Wanwan had a headache and regretted not keeping the blood beads of her uncle and aunt.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to first confirm whether the blood beads could enhance supernatural powers.

But blood beads are different from crystal cores. Because they are unknown, the risks are much greater, and Ji Wanwan is a little hesitant again.

Xu Siming stood up again: "Xiao Wan, let me do it..."

"No!" Ji Wanwan instinctively shook her head and refused: "You are currently the person with the highest level of supernatural power in the base. If something happens to you, it will be an irreparable loss for us!"

Xu Siming immediately retorted: "It is precisely because I am the highest level that I am most likely to suppress the evil nature of the little blood bead! So I will take on this matter without hesitation!"

Ji Wanwan still disagreed: "Senior, you..."

Before she could finish her words, Xu Siming interrupted her: "Xiao Wan, stop talking. As I said before, if you want to accomplish something big, someone has to take the lead. I have already tried the crystal core, so why should I drag others into it?"

This time, Qi Hao was really impressed.

He couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Old Xu, I admire you, this time it's real! If you still haven't mutated after the test, I'll lend you my Porsche for two days!"

Ji Wanwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and couldn't help but give Qi Hao a cold look: "You are so obvious!"

Xia Li also echoed: "That's right! Shut up!"

Seeing Qi Hao hanging his head in grievance, Xu Siming couldn't help but curl his lips and raised his eyebrows at him proudly.

After Qi Hao's disturbance, Ji Wanwan suddenly felt relieved.

Xu Siming's ability level is high, she has equivalent treatment, and everyone is united. They believe that even if Xu Siming will become a corpse after trying, they can find a way to restore Xu Siming to normal.

Because she was too weak in her previous life, she was always habitually cautious, but sometimes being too cautious could make her appear indecisive.

She raised her head and looked at Xu Siming: "Okay, be careful. If you notice anything unusual, tell me immediately!"

Xu Siming nodded slightly.

He first picked up one of the 22 small blood beads, and then swallowed it directly as Ji Wanwan described.

The blood bead did not change in shape after entering the mouth, and it remained a square, hard little piece.

Xu Siming's eyes rolled and he tried to bite it.

"Boom-"

A slight explosion sounded from inside his skull, and a strong smell of blood immediately filled Xu Siming's senses, causing him to put on a mask of pain.

After a brief discomfort, a strange and absurd pleasure spread from his head to his limbs and bones, making him uncontrollably excited and happy. He even wanted to kill someone to add to the fun.

Everything in front of his eyes was blood red, and the overwhelming pleasure made him tremble crazily. In a trance, he felt that he could not control his body, even though his mind was very clear.

Realizing this, Xu Siming immediately bit the tip of his tongue, letting the intense pain force him to calm down.

At this moment, Xu Siming looked completely different in the eyes of others.

In Ji Wanwan's opinion.

After the senior swallowed the blood bead, his face was first full of confusion, and then he felt extremely painful.

She was about to stand up and help Xu Siming, but she saw him suddenly startled and stopped moving...
