Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 486 Two Death Row Inmates
"Sure, I'll arrange it. Just leave it to me."

Shangguan Yan was sitting behind his desk, his hands folded, looking at him with a smile.

This time Xia Shou felt calm. He was being treated like a beast of burden anyway. Since he couldn't get rid of the nose ring, he might as well tighten it and get more dry food.

“I can find you a death row inmate and have him lend you his powers. When you have completed your mission, you can execute him.

Then wait another two months and you will be able to gain his powers, am I understanding correctly?
Well, it's a special ability with particularly strong growth potential. The Analysis Department can help you come up with at least hundreds of ways to use it.

But I always respect the privacy of my subordinates and will keep it confidential for you." Shangguan Yan said with a smile.

As she spoke, she opened a drawer and took out a folder. When she unfolded it, there was a list of executions.

"In order to keep it secret, you can only use the death row prisoners that I am responsible for, and they have to be those who have not been reported. Otherwise, the other ministers will definitely find out that the supernatural power you use is the same as those of the death row prisoners I am responsible for, and then I will not be able to make excuses for you.

If I use the death row prisoners whose information I haven't uploaded yet, then your various superpowers can be said to be a top-secret ritual I used on you with the director's permission.

In this way, the abilities you display can be attributed to your physical constitution and special rituals."

Xia Shou frowned and asked anxiously, "Is this excuse too far-fetched? Will they really believe it?"

“This is not surprising. The secret method of the funeral home is of a similar type. They extract the abnormalities of extraordinary corpses to gain control of the deceased’s supernatural powers.

If the funeral home's secret method can preserve the deceased's superpowers for a long time, then the effect will be very close to that of your [Superpower Bank].

The reason why the Funeral Home is giving the Control Bureau a headache is because the secret method they rely on is indeed very powerful."

"There is actually such a secret method." Xia Shou suddenly felt relieved and felt that his abilities were not particularly outrageous.

"But it's still far from your ability to permanently gain the supernatural powers of the dead. When An Gangxiongwu was still alive, the funeral home invited him many times."

Xia Shou remained silent. He felt that Shangguan Yan was pointing at him.

Shangguan Yan flipped through the execution list and said:
“There aren’t many to choose from, but there are indeed several that are suitable for this Blood Cave Operation.

One of them has the ability to freely manipulate the growth of his own bones, making them hard, and he can also discard the fragments of his own bones and then let the fragments grow into more bones.

It is an ability that combines both offensive and defensive capabilities, but due to his physical condition, his body can heal quickly after being pierced by bones, I don't know if yours can do the same."

"Is there any energy requirement to use this power? Will I suffer from malnutrition if my bones grow so fast?" Xia Shou asked very seriously.

Shangguan Yan also answered very seriously:

“No, but the more you use your bones, the more brittle they will become. The reduction in bone hardness can be compensated by eating a lot.

But even if you eat enough, it will take time for the hardness to recover after digestion. The prisoner's bones are born with the hardness of steel and excellent toughness, so he can use it at a high intensity and stop when the bone level drops to that of an ordinary person.

But you have to be careful when using it, otherwise it will become brittle bones which will be bad.

But at least it's a power that can be used in that place."

Xia Shou did not dislike this skill. The first thing he thought of was [Reaching the Pinnacle in an Unmanned Place].

As long as you use one minute of reaching the pinnacle, you will be immune to all the negative costs brought by the superpower. At least within one minute, the lethality of this superpower will be considerable.

If there were no limit to his growth, he could even allow the surrounding area to grow all over with his bones.

"By the way, what is the name of this ability?"

“【My body turned into a forest of bones】.” Shangguan Yan replied.

Hearing this name, Xia Shou was stunned, feeling that his guess had been verified before he even put it to the test.

"Have you ever tried to exchange powers with Su Yue?"

"No." "Does Su Yue know that you can borrow supernatural powers?"

"……Know."

"Oh~ It seems that you trust Xiaoyue more than me, your boss." Shangguan Yan smiled meaningfully.

Xia Shou looked away with a guilty conscience and explained, "Su Yue will definitely keep it a secret for me."

"You think I can't?" Shangguan Yan shrugged lightly.

Xia Shou stopped talking.

He couldn't say that he didn't want to be controlled, so he never planned to tell him.

Moreover, Xia Shou also realized that Shangguan Yan was teasing him.

“Although I really want you to try it, please don’t borrow it from Su Yue.

Let’s not talk about whether the blood-inherited ability can be loaned out. Even if it can, when you return it later, it is still uncertain whether Su Yue’s previously accumulated combat experience will still be there.

If combat experience is reset, then every time she lends it to you, you have to accumulate it all over again, which is a bad deal.

Hmm... let me think about it."

Shangguan Yan stroked his chin and looked down at the execution list in his hand. The candidates were very limited to begin with.

It’s even harder to find a suitable one.

“You can only store two, for a maximum of 24 hours, so this is it.

【Best Remake】.

This person has a rare ability that can only be used once in a lifetime, which allows him to replicate the best state of a certain period of his life in the past to the present.

But what is replicated is only things other than the anomaly itself, and that does not include memories, only the body.

This 90-year-old death row inmate awakened and recognized his abilities at the age of 16, and at the age of 90 chose to return to his youthful state at the age of 16.

Hearing this, Xia Shoujue found something strange.

"What crime did he commit?"

This ability can only be used once in a lifetime, and it only applies to oneself and will not affect others. What crime can be committed?
If it is an ordinary crime, the control bureau will not take action.

"He was a fanatic believer in polytheism. He had devout faith in multiple gods, studied multiple schools of knowledge, and used various supernatural methods on himself. At the age of 90, he had turned into a deformed monster.

Then he started all over again, using his normal human body at the age of 16, optimizing the order of all the knowledge he had learned throughout his life, and achieved a superhuman physical state. "

At this point, Shangguan Yan sighed helplessly:

“Although what this guy did was quite beastly, he is indeed a genius. I have never seen so many rituals used on one person, but his brain is still normal.

Apart from the person himself, you can still use this ability, and it can also be considered an experiment.

This is a one-time ability, if you return it, it will be considered as a refresh of the number of times you can use it, then you may be able to borrow it repeatedly in the future, and get one more chance to try and fail each time.

Come on, I'll take you to meet these two people. Your transaction must be based on the premise that both parties know the rules of the [Superpower Bank], right?

This must be discussed clearly. Although the death row inmate has been sentenced to death, it will not be a free ride for you."
