Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 140 Who stopped the naming?

The cost of the new skill made Xia Shou a little nervous, but when he saw the two corpses left that had not been devoured, he immediately put all these risks behind him.

What the hell!

Eat eat eat eat!
If it were before, he would definitely not dare to devour any more corpses. After all, five skills were the limit, and seven was already seriously overweight.

But because of the emergence of the [Second Self], all the skills related to the Blood God were absorbed, and three of the seven skills were lost at once!

So, a spare skill position was left vacant!

The empty position is filled with [Power Bank], so there are exactly five skills.

Although there are still two corpses to devour, the Ability Bank can lend out two skills, and he has a stable borrower by his side - Su Weiyu.

With this arrangement, he still only has five skills!
perfect!

Xia Shou felt that he might have a talent for operations management... If he could take the college entrance examination in the future, perhaps he could develop in this direction.

Xia Shou thought for a moment and decided to lend [Substitute] to Su Weiyu first. This skill would be the same no matter who used it.

General Xia told Su Weiyu his idea, borrowed a substitute from the supernatural bank, and then began to devour the remaining two corpses.

The skinless man's body was devoured at a fast speed, and before long, the words indicating successful devouring appeared in front of Xia Shou.

[You have acquired the skill - [Intelligence Defense]]

【Intelligence Defense】

[Introduction: Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles]

[Effect: Lock on a human as the target. You can make a guess about the target's extraordinary ability. If the other party thinks your guess is correct, your extraordinary resistance to the target will increase.

The increase rate of extraordinary resistance is positively correlated with the ratio of the other party's perception of the leakage of their own intelligence, and will appear in digital form directly above your head.

For example: If the opponent thinks you have guessed 30% of his intelligence, then your abnormal resistance to the target will increase by 30% for five minutes.

[Price: When this skill is on cooldown, you will lose your sense of balance.]

[Cooling time: 8 hours]

"So this is what the 30% just now meant."

When fighting with Li Liang, Xia Shou once saw 30% green appear above the opponent's head. At that time, he did not understand the function of this ability, but now he understands it.

This ability is very targeted. If a third-level extraordinary person gains a 30% increase in resistance, then the extraordinary resistance is approximately equal to the extraordinary resistance of level 3.9.

If the opponent's ability information is fully analyzed, it can even reach level six resistance!
Next, only the body of the Blood Mother Cult leader was left.

But the abnormality level of this corpse was relatively high, and he did not have time to devour it on the spot.

But it would be such a waste to give up just like that.

Xia Shou stroked his chin and glanced around hesitantly.

Finally, his eyes fell on the red sedan chair of the Holy Son.

"Perhaps we can do that."

……

……

Sianna passed through the deepest part of the villa and came to this semi-open area that was gradually becoming ineffective.

She wandered around the huge sanatorium and finally came to this suspicious garden engraved with a magic circle.

But...something seems to be wrong.

There were many Blood Mother Cult believers at the scene, but they all fell to the ground and had been dead for a long time.

The only ones who survived were a tied-up and blindfolded couple.

There is also a girl hanging in the air by a strangely shaped branch.

Sianna did not rescue them immediately because anything could happen during the naming ceremony.

Rescuing people rashly may even harm the hostages.

The most important thing now was to confirm how far the ceremony had progressed. But what was even more bizarre was that after looking around, she was surprised to find that there was no threat at all in this place, not even a ceremony host.

At this moment, Xiaanna suddenly remembered what Yi Lei said before.

When he said failure, could it be that the naming ceremony had failed?
suddenly!

There were footsteps behind Xianna. She turned around suddenly and saw a team of fully armed special forces coming towards her.

They were well-trained and put up yellow cordons at the scene and used walkie-talkies to communicate with the outside world.

"Thank you for your hard work!" The captain of the special forces saluted Xianna, "Leave it to us to take care of the aftermath. The minister is waiting for you."

Siana looked at them and asked in surprise: "Who let you in?"

……

……

Half an hour later.

In the temporary command vehicle outside the sanatorium, Shianna was doing the final work review with Collins, the head of the investigation department of Edinburgh.

"Let me sort this out. You're saying... you didn't stop the naming ceremony."

Collins pressed his temple, looking as if he was about to embark on a study of a problem comparable to the Goldbach conjecture.

“Yes, I was stopped by the gatekeeper at the entrance to the realm, but for some reason, he used the teleportation ring to escape halfway through the fight, and even said he had failed or something.

When I went in, the scene was like that, and then the troops followed in. "Xianana replied truthfully.

She had just given this answer.

"Since it wasn't you, then there must be someone else who ended the ceremony." Collins' eyebrows were almost twisted together.

"I don't know, but I didn't run into anyone when I went in."

"This is indeed very strange. We have been monitoring the entrance to this semi-open area. If someone came out from inside, we would definitely see them. However, the investigation team has just completed a carpet search of the entire sanatorium, and there is indeed no one inside.

Apart from the dead Blood Mother Cult believers, there were only Mr. Su and his family of three.

What’s even more strange is that the couple and the girl accurately described the images of several people who were not present.

According to the description, one of them is An Gang Xiongwu, another is a skinless person, and the last one is a monster about three meters tall with red skin all over his body, who looks like a bishop. "

Sianna was silent for a moment, then asked in confusion: “I didn’t see these people.”

"Of course, as I said just now, we didn't find any, not to mention any living people, not even any corpses that met the requirements.

Moreover, the concentration of mana here is even lower than that of the villa full of rotting corpses. It is as if there is a black hole inside that can absorb abnormalities and swallow up all the remaining mana. "Collins' tone is like seeing a ghost.

This incident is indeed similar to seeing a ghost.

…Another strange anomaly.

Siana rubbed her temple through the bandages and said tiredly, "I'll go back and rest first. Tell me when there's a result. Also, the gatekeeper is very strange. He must have used some extremely powerful sealing object."

"Oh, the identity of the gatekeeper has been confirmed. According to Su Yue's confession, the gatekeeper is most likely Yi Lei, the life artist who has been committing crimes crazily in Ettingburg recently. And the host of the signing ceremony should be Yi Lei's son." Collins revealed.

Shianna was silent for a while, but Collins could not see any expression on her bandaged face.

After a while, Shiana shook her head, indicating that she had given up thinking deeply.

"Chief Collins, it is not my job to investigate the truth, but my intuition tells me that this matter will not be that simple. You have to pay attention."

Collins nodded slightly and waved goodbye to Shianna.

Then he lowered his head and looked at the transcript in his hand.

There are a lot of traces of modification and erasure on this transcript, with long blackened strips everywhere.

As a document to be entered into the archives, it does not meet the requirements at all, and the large number of traces of erasures may even cause serious reading difficulties.

But Collins ignored the smears and repeatedly read the words that could only be barely seen clearly when looking closely.

"There are so few clues," Collins lamented.
