Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 580 Skill Fusion: Impermanence Eyes (4K)

On the way back to the Control Bureau, Xia Shou was thinking about this matter all the way.

In his opinion, Lin Tiandong's matter had become a complete mess.

After talking with several people, Xia Shou roughly understood the situation Lin Tiandong was facing now.

He was promoted from LV3 to LV4, and was judged by the Analysis Department to have disorderly absorption of cursed energy. This kind of physique is equivalent to chronic cancer for a finisher.

Everyone knows that once the abnormality level exceeds level three, the person's absorption of external cursed energy is no longer under his control, and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted from level four to level five. But even so, there are still differences in the physiques of level four transcendents.

Just like the same disease, some people's symptoms develop slowly, while for others, once they are sick, they are as ferocious as a tiger. The rate of absorption of external magical power and the type of magical power absorption tendency will lead the extraordinary people to different fates.

Different cursed powers have different characteristics, splitting, stitching, killing... various abstract concepts represent the source of power, the god at the highest point.

If the type of absorption is single, then even if one goes crazy in the end, it will be a "normal" madness, and it can be alleviated through various means, or even by satisfying the excessive desires of the person concerned, so that rationality can remain stable.

But some people's bodies accept all kinds of magical powers and absorb a variety of types.

This kind of person will definitely go crazy, and will go completely crazy and be unreasonable.

Their minds are pulled by various conflicting desires, like schizophrenia, longing to do completely opposite things. Perhaps they want to kill lives in the last second, and want to save the wounded in the next second.

This kind of person is absolutely not suitable to continue doing the job of finishing. Lin Tiandong is in this situation, so everyone in our second department wants Lin Tiandong to retire.

And Lin Rize hoped that he would not agree to any of Lin Tiandong's requests.

This situation is embarrassing to think about.

Although Xia Shou verbally agreed to Lin Tiandong, he did not stick to the promise and only said that he would try his best. As for what to do in the end, it all depends on Lin Rizhe.

After all, Lin Rize is his brother, he must know better what to do to benefit Lin Tiandong.

But Xia Shou guessed that Lin Rize might not know how complicated his brother's situation was.

Now Lin Tiandong wants to visit his mother but cannot get permission from his superiors. He even fell out with his boss and threatened to leave the control bureau.

But even so, the Minister of the Second Department still did not agree to approve the visit application.

Any normal person would know that visiting one's mother involves huge risks, so no matter what choice one makes, the result will be a headache.

Even as a bystander, Xia Shou could see that the situation had no solution.

Xia Shou took out his cell phone, sorted out the information he knew, and sent it to Lin Rizhe.

Then, he saw the message “The other party is typing…” appear above the chat box.

After a while, there was no reply, and then there was another prompt that I was typing.

After a full minute, Lin Rizhe sent four words: [Let me think about it.]

This reply was also expected.

If it were Xia Shou, he wouldn’t know what to choose.

Xia Shou sighed, got off the car, walked into the museum gate, and checked his parcel at the mail storage area.

Sure enough, the scissors lubricant sent by Lin Rizhe arrived on time.

"Just right."

Tonight, you can go outside the city to fuse your skills.

……

……

At night, the moonlight is dim.

The trees cast heavy shadows and the cicadas chirp loudly.

Xia Shou stood in the middle of the empty woods, with the fusion formation under his feet already set up.

As the candles in the six corners were lit by Alice's transparent hands, the powder and liquid under her feet began to emit a faint fluorescence in the moonlight.

Xia Shou began to pray for the power of God according to the spell he had learned.

“I put a silver needle in my palm, and I put a strand of hair in my palm. The holes between the objects were seen by the craftsman’s eyes, and they fit perfectly, as if they had never been damaged.

They have not changed, but their shapes have become completely different, climbing to a higher perfection in perfection, clothes become skin, lenses become eyes, bones become knives, and can be changed into hoes..."

Xia Shou finished reciting the Tailor's Prayer, and when he saw the reactions of the sacrifices, he knew that the connection had been completed, and then he began to recite the Prayer of the Splitting Shears.

This time he not only needs to borrow the power of the Tailor, but also the power of the Splitting Shears.

Therefore, the steps of the ceremony are more complicated than last time, requiring more concentration and greater carefulness.

Soon, the ritual of the Splitting Shears was completed, and the most critical step came.

His eyes swept through the forms of his skills that manifested before his eyes. Among them, [Self-Destruction] and [Future Prefabrication] were two skills that could not be operated in any way.

[Future Prefabrication] does not belong to Xia Shou, nor does it even belong to the present time.

It was a fragment of the brand attached to the Seven-branched Tree that was brought to the modern era by Xia Shou from the 16th century.

Essentially, it does not exist in this space and time.

Finally, all the preparations are complete.

Before the ceremony officially began, Xia Shou had already entered the [road to self-destruction] and paid the price of losing one hundred meters.

He did a lot of things specially to prepare for the integration tonight.

For example, the soul of Huangfu Zuoren sealed in the mourning stick and the soul of the woman in the funeral home were all transferred to the soul-imprisoning birdcage and locked together with the remaining soul of Song Jianshou.

This is to prevent their souls from losing their seals and constraints and dispersing due to the loss of skill effects when the skills are integrated.

Of course, this was just an attempt to find out the compatibility, and Xia Shou had no intention of achieving it in one go.

But if the result of the integration is really good, then you don’t have to choose to backtrack and can directly implement it into reality.

Xia Shou silently went over all the skills in his mind - reaching the pinnacle in an empty place, substitute, power bank, mirror magician's information scissors, soul-binding and soul-locking, yin-yang eyes, and flash kill when hit.

The upper limit of the safe weight limit for skills is five, and Seeking Death and Future Prefabrication already take up two places.

And among the remaining seven, there are a few that require extra caution when handling.

Stand-in, Reach the Pinnacle, and Power Bank are all very useful.

The skill of Stand, when used in conjunction with the Power Bank, can turn negative costs into positive effects.

The most important thing is that this skill can effectively improve the survival rate of Su Weiyu and Su Yue.

Yin-Yang Eyes and Soul-Binding and Soul-Locking are both skills obtained from Hei Wuchang. Perhaps the fusion of them will have a good effect.

As Xia Shou thought about it, the two abnormalities began to approach each other and mix, and then lines of text slowly appeared in front of Xia Shou's eyes.

【Impermanent Eyes】

[Introduction: There is a demon in the pupil, and a blade in the eye]

[Abnormal Level: Level 5]

[Effect: When the Eye of Impermanence is opened, you can witness some things that are normally invisible. The spirits in your field of vision can be visible in the ordinary world, or hidden.

When a spirit is made visible, abnormalities of LV2 and above can affect it (the effect includes gain or damage).

You can consume the spell power and use your sight to condense into a LV5 spirit blade, causing damage to spirit creatures and suppressing their abnormality level (reducing the abnormality level by one level). The flight trajectory of the spirit blade is a straight line, and the speed is 3000m/s. 】

[Price: None]

Xia Shou looked at the description of the new skill in surprise and was stunned for a moment.

Although Death Notes has long said that skill fusion is highly random, the fusion of two skills may develop a completely new effect, or become garbage.

But this is the first time I have actually encountered it.

This new skill has basically nothing to do with [Soul Binding and Soul Locking]. The effect of Yin-Yang Eyes has been completely retained, while the ability of Soul Binding and Soul Locking to seal ghosts has been completely removed.

Instead, the attack on spirits was strengthened to the extreme.

[Soul Binding] When attacking the spirit enchanted by the weapon, as long as you see the opponent, not only you can attack the spirit, but also other people around you can attack the spirit as long as the level is higher than LV2.

Furthermore, the effect of transforming the sight into a spirit blade can suppress the abnormal level of the spirit body.

In extraordinary combat, the level of anomaly is everything. What does a one-level difference mean?
This means that a power that is one level lower than the opponent can also cause damage to it, but the extraordinary power of the spirit cannot affect the extraordinary people of the same level! Because the level of the spirit has been lowered!
The key is that this [Impermanence Eyes] can also hide the shape of the spirit, which means that through some small tricks, you can turn the Alice you see into an invisible state!
This is totally a magical skill!
The most important thing is, there is no price!

Skills without cost are so rare.

Very good, he has decided on this skill. Next, he will continue to integrate other skills. If the integration effect of other skills is very poor, then he will go back to the time when [Impermanence Eyes] was integrated.

What are the remaining skills that can be boldly integrated?

Even if there are slight mistakes in the Mirror Magician's intelligence cutting, substitute, and flash kill, they will not affect Xia Shou's current combat power skills. At most, the tactics will change.

"Anyway, we can trace back, so just give it a try." Xia Shou encouraged himself.

These three skills have nothing in common, either in terms of their origin or effects. It is completely unknown what will be created after their fusion, so we can only try to synthesize them randomly.

Combine [Flash Kill When Hit] and [Substitute].

The two abnormalities, one large and one small, floating in front of me seemed to be pulled together slowly by some force, wrapping and covering each other, visually presenting a kind of "stitching" behavior.

One mass of abnormality is stretched and, like skin, sewn onto another.

[Stand-in Flash Kill]

[Introduction: Is there anyone willing to die for you? If so, that would be great, but I hope he won't change his mind at the last minute.]

[Effect: If someone is willing to be your substitute, you can transfer the injuries on your body to the substitute.

The severity of the injury you can transfer depends on how much the other person is willing to bear for you.

During the binding period, if both parties are attacked, they can exchange positions at any time.

In addition, the substitute can terminate the substitute relationship at any time.

(The stand's abnormal level cannot be higher than yours, and the upper limit of the number of bindings is one, and you cannot actively cancel it)]

[Price: When the Stand terminates the relationship, the Stand can transfer the injuries on its body to you to any extent.]

"Tsk... what they came up with is a complete pile of shit." Xia Shou frowned in disgust.

The effect of being hit and flashed to death is limited to the position swapping between the Stand and the bound person. The original mobility is completely lost, and it becomes a double-choice question of whether you get hit or the Stand gets hit.

With this fusion, [Stand] has been slightly strengthened, with an additional option to swap positions and let the opponent take the beating.

But since there are substitutes to transfer injuries, the only meaning of changing positions to get hit is to change the position over a long distance.

This effect... can only be said to be better than nothing.

The skill [Flash Kill When Hit], which was already ridiculously powerful, has been nerfed.

"It seems that this fusion can only go as far as [Impermanence Eyes]."

But since the time has not come yet and we can go back, we might as well combine the rest.

Next, Xia Shou randomly combined the remaining skills and tried them out.

As expected, the final results of several synthesizers were not satisfactory. Some became complete garbage, while others were okay, but after the effects changed, they lost their linkage with other skills, and the overall combat effectiveness continued to decline.

Moreover, as the number of synthesizers increased, Xia Shou felt a strange fatigue, which meant that the ritual consumed a lot of his cursed energy.

Excessive consumption of cursed energy is somewhat similar to muscle exhaustion. When activating supernatural powers, one will feel like one is powerless and must concentrate more to use the supernatural powers.

As the consumption of cursed energy increases further, this fatigue will be reflected in both physical and mental aspects, and different people will react differently.

However, in Xia Shou's memory, except for the feeling of magic power being consumed during such rituals, it can be said that he never ran out of magic power during the rest of the battles, and he didn't even feel tired.

Xia Shou launched a self-destructive retrospection, leaving behind his impermanence eyes.

As the ritual atmosphere lifted, the quiet woodland was filled with sound again, with the chirping of summer cicadas and the buzzing of mosquitoes in the ears, all ringing out at the same time.

Although it was night, the heat of this season had not subsided, and the sweat on my body made my clothes and skin stick together.

"Alice, please clean up the scene."

"Yes, Master Xia Shou."

Several pairs of ghostly hands began to efficiently erase the traces of the magic circle, gathering up the half-burned candles and placing them in the box they brought with them.

While waiting, Xia Shou opened his cell phone and read the letter.

Because I told Wei Yu and Su Yue in advance that I would be going out in the evening, there was no news from Su Yue, and Su Wei Yu only sent a message saying "When will you be back?"

Xiao Zuo and Xiao You asked about the specific situation of Lin Tiandong.

Lin Rizhe did not reply to the letter and changed his signature to "I am on a business trip and cannot reply in the near future. Sorry."

Xia Shou felt that the other party had probably entered the blood cave.

Apart from that, the leisure group of the three departments is quite active. Brother Bai and Brother Pang, who had not been active for a long time, are now speaking in the group.

Baihe: [@Su Yue, Xiao Yue, have you ever been in love? ]

Su Yue: [No.]

Goro: [Is this true? Are you kidding?]

Xia Shou looked at the time of the speech. Goro replied immediately and took a selfie. In the photo, in addition to Goro's fat face, the back of a woman who was writing calligraphy occupied a larger area. You could tell she was a beauty just by looking at her back.

Then, Goro continued to speak: [Even I have been in love before, so it’s impossible that you haven’t been in love before, right, Xiaoyue? ]

Xia Shou could see that this ninja didn't care about the topic of conversation at all, he just wanted to share the photo of his fiancée's back!

"This man is beyond saving."

Xia Shou's finger continued to slide the screen, and Su Yue below once again solemnly denied it:

[Really not, I'm still in high school, how can I fall in love. ]

Shirakawa: [@Wu Lang, stop interrupting, let's be serious. The weirdness I encountered here is a bit difficult to deal with. It takes some experience in love to investigate.]

Jiang Wengao: [How about playing some bishoujo games to find some inspiration? ]

"Lord Xia Shou, everything is packed." Alice said softly.

"Oh, let's go back then."

Xia Shou put his phone back into his pocket and turned to walk out of the woods.
