Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 569 Comprehension

"What a joke." Xia Shou burst out laughing.

He didn't know how to feel about this matter. He had always felt that he was being used by the Death Notebook, but in the end, he was being used by himself.

But this makes him feel utterly unreal, because as a character in a book, he has not experienced anything that he should have been destined to experience, and has experienced.

"What a headache. What should I do?" Xia Shou said to himself.

It was completely unclear, all he knew was that he was surrounded by a lot of dangerous factors.

Moreover, these risk factors may still be at the named level, because judging from the tone of the death notes, he should have been promoted to the named level before.

[Why are you in a daze? Have you figured out what I just said? ]

Xia Shou was stunned for a moment when he saw this line of words: "Huh? What's your attitude now? Didn't you just say..."

Before Xia Shou could finish, the next sentence immediately appeared in the Death Note:

[That’s enough. I just called you this just to give you a hint.

It's enough for you to figure it out. Do you really want me to call you "sir, sir" every day? 】

After reading this, Xia Shou frowned in displeasure.

Although there seems to be nothing wrong with the notes, it is still so annoying to read them.

"Before you entered the notebook, did anyone tell you that you deserved a beating?" Xia Shou sneered.

[I will return this question to you.

Anyway, I have hinted at everything I can now. Don’t ask me about those shitty things about you in the future.

From now on, I will only provide consultation on strength improvement.

In addition, I advise you to think more about how to become stronger and sign up as soon as possible. What you care about now is actually the least important. Promotion and signing up are the top priority.

Oh, I also want to remind you in particular to pay attention to Shangguan Yan and always remember that you are only in a relationship of exchanging interests.

As a resource provider, Shangguan Yan is very qualified, but when it comes to conflicts of fundamental interests, she will not hesitate to abandon her subordinates as consumables. 】

"Minister... Indeed, I think so too." Xia Shou murmured.

However, given his current situation, it is rare to have an ally to cooperate with, and he is quite satisfied with the current mutually beneficial relationship.

Just as the Death Notes said, as a resource provider, Shangguan Yan is absolutely qualified. In the secular world, he is simply a super good boss, the kind of leader who will not pay for your insurance but will provide full support for your project.

[By the way, have you ever met someone who wanted to kill you in the book? ]

"You know this as well?"

【Have you ever met someone who wants to protect you? 】

"No."

It took a full ten seconds for the next line of text to appear in the notebook.

[Don't go there from now on. If you die, you'll really die. You're lucky this time.]

"This method was told to me by Dorian Gray," said Xia Shou.

Dorian Gray's pocket watch was in Merlin's House, and it chose him as its owner. He also knew so much about "The Season When the Stars Set", so Xia Shou didn't believe that the notebook and Dorian Gray didn't know each other.

[You saw Dorian Gray?! ...Damn it, I wish I were still alive now.]

"Why do you seem so excited?"

【That’s Dorian Gray! He can be said to be the idol of all investigators!!

Not only investigators, but anyone who is engaged in abnormal research should understand the importance of Dorian Gray among modern scholars. Xia Shou stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

From the looks of it, it seems that the Death Note doesn't know Dorian Gray at all. So what's the matter with the pocket watch?

And the rote notes say "he" instead of "she".

But the Dorian Gray that he had seen within the choir walls was very handsome and feminine. When he didn't speak, he could easily be mistaken for a boy, but the voice that he spoke was definitely that of a woman.

"You haven't seen her?"

[It would be great if I could see him. Please take me to see him next time. ]

"Then why is her pocket watch in Merlin's House? Also, why did her advice go against yours and she asked me to escape from the book?" Xia Shou asked.

[Hmm... maybe the information is outdated.

That's normal. Mr. Gray doesn't understand what happened. Looking at the problem from his perspective, it's understandable that he made such a suggestion.

Just listen to me. If Mr. Gray gives you any advice in the future, please tell me and I will help you analyze it.

As for the pocket watch, you are just overthinking it. Although I have owned a pocket watch, unfortunately I have never met Mr. Gray. 】

Xia Shou nodded thoughtfully and found the point where he could exert his strength.

From the words in the Death Note, it can be heard that Dorian Gray should also be involved in this matter.

This way, he has two sources of information.

Although Xia Shou felt that the dictated notes were trustworthy, it was risky to believe in them 100%. With a Dorian Gray to compare information with, his autonomy would be much greater.

"Okay, let's talk about the current problem. The depth of my Origin Sea has reached 1800 meters, and the number of skills has increased a lot. This shouldn't be a problem, right?"

【1800 meters?
How long has it been? We are already at 1800 meters? 】

After a while, another line of words appeared.

[How many skills do you have now? ]

Xia Shou counted on his fingers.

"Nine. Apart from the ones that turned into the Mask of Desire, there are still nine on my body."

[Your depth dropped suddenly because you used some skills, right? This is difficult to deal with.

I told you that the more skills you have, it's like the more iron blocks tied to your body, the faster you sink. This example is very appropriate in the early stages.

But now let's make this example a little more vivid so that it will be easier to explain.

Let me ask you, which sinks faster in water, a piece of iron weighing 1 kilogram or a piece of iron weighing 100 tons.

"It depends on the shape of the iron. After all, whether it sinks or not depends on its density. If it becomes a big hollow iron ball, it is possible that it will not sink." Xia Shou said without hesitation.

[There is no need to be so rigorous now. Without considering the shape and the resistance during the sinking process, just look at the buoyancy and gravity. The greater the density of the things tied to your body and the heavier it is, the faster it sinks, the closer it will be to the speed of free fall, right? ]

"Yes."

[Your current situation is that you have a bunch of iron blocks tied to your body, which makes you sink very quickly, but you will eventually tend to stagnate, because in a sea area governed by a god, the density of liquids at different depths is different.

If you are diving in water when you first enter the sea of ​​blood, then you are already in oil when you reach 1000 meters.

Now, if you continue going down, you will be like sinking into mercury. No matter how many iron blocks you tie on your body, it will be useless. This is determined by the density.

The density in this example is often called insight in the study of the supernatural. 】
