Chapter 92: Strange Faces (6 more votes required!)

"A strange face growing on my heart?"

"I've never seen it, nor have I heard of it..."

Sophia and Baru both shook their heads.

"I do have a vague idea. It's a monster called a human-faced demon. It can parasitize the human body and grow strange faces on it."

Oulen glanced at him, hinting at something.

Roy's heart trembled.

When Oren was hunting down Olinda, maybe he knew something about the inside story!
Sure enough, Oulen had already vaguely guessed something.

At that time they were enemies rather than friends, fighting for what flowed out of the Cretaceous Country.

But now, he has been promoted and is ready to leave, so he simply opens up and tells Roy the relevant clues for free.

"I can't explain the details right now. Go to the library's Abnormality section and look up information on parasites."

Strange creatures, parasitic species, human-faced demons...

Roy took note and nodded.

……

The next day, the new year arrived.

Roy had just gotten up and gone to the cafeteria to eat when he heard that Sophia and the others had left through the dimensional portal on the fourth floor of the tower and went to different worlds.

No flowers, no salutes.

There was no farewell ceremony or anything.

He left quietly like that.

From then on, this witch tower entered his era as the chief apprentice.

Several mid-level and senior apprentices in the tower approached with a hint of awe and greeted, "Senior Roy!"

Roy nodded calmly and chatted with them briefly, which was considered as accepting these people's surrender.

He didn’t care much about the power of the apprentices in the tower, and only said three things: “From now on, the business of recycling debris and refining magic stones will be under my control.

I won’t eat it all by myself. I can’t make so much by myself, so I will share it among them.

Then there's all sorts of intelligence from the mission center...

All valuable information must be reported in a timely manner and must not be concealed.

Everything else remains the same.”

As for the cultivation resources he needs, various bloods and the like, there is no need to say more.

As long as you show interest in this area, there will naturally be a lot of people who will help you pay attention.

Compared with other elite apprentices, Roy, the time traveler, eats in a more elegant and civilized manner.

Some people feel satisfied about this, while others are a little surprised and thoughtful.

But without exception, they all agreed.

……

After breakfast, Roy went to the library to look up some information.

"Senior Roy!"

Many people along the way recognized him and quickly stepped aside, or came forward to greet him out of courtesy.

Roy responded briefly, but he was not used to the feeling of being the center of attention.

He shook his head, turned and entered the monster area, looking up information under the parasitic species branch.

Compared to himself, a disguised genius, Oulen is indeed a true elite and a top student.

He is well-informed and can accurately point out the information available for reference.

So Roy quickly found what he wanted.

"So that's how it is. Monsters like the human-faced demon also come from a strange world.

It seems I have a connection with these things!"

He did not borrow the book because it might leave a record and attract some unwanted attention.

But relying on his increasingly powerful mental strength, he was able to memorize it easily.

After that, go to Olinda and knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Olinda rubbed her eyes and opened the door.

But when he saw Roy, he immediately suppressed the yawn that was about to burst out.

She adjusted her pajamas, not sure whether to hide her chest or open it further.

"Isn't this our senior Roy? What's the matter?"

Roy walked in and closed the door.

"I've already found out the details of that thing in your chest."

"what?"

Olinda's originally nonchalant expression immediately became serious.

"That's called a human-faced demon, a strange creature capable of ultimate mimicry."

"It's actually a strange creature?"

Olinda seemed a little surprised.

"I originally thought it was something like Ditto from the slime clan."

"Have you also looked up the information?"

"Of course, who wouldn't be worried if something like this grew on their body?

But the library is so big, I didn't know if there was any record of it. I didn't expect you to find it!"

"This time I have to thank Oren, he told me the clue."

"Oren!"

Olinda's face showed lingering fear.

"Don't worry, he's already left. After stepping into the sea of stars, his horizons have broadened. He may not be interested in such things anymore."

Roy comforted her casually and then told her the information he had found.

It turns out that this is a strange monster that possesses the remnants of the law of transformation and can obtain the factor of change by parasitizing the human body.

It is different from the "Ditto" of the slime clan mentioned by Olinda.

The ability it possesses is a complete imitation of everything from life energy to the source of magic power to the aura of spiritual power.

"The so-called 'ultimate mimicry' is actually somewhat similar to what the arcane world calls 'ultimate transfiguration'. It is a deep-level simulation change.

It is now parasitic on you and is absorbing your life energy.

If there is an opportunity in the future, it will gradually devour your life and spirit and replace you.

The correct way to use it should be to kill it, extract the residual laws in it, and then make it into something like a human skin mask or painted skin.

To be honest, I am quite interested in this kind of thing and want to buy it.

Anyway, this kind of thing is just a parasite to you."

Olinda hesitated when she heard this: "So, what's your bid?"

Roy said: "2500 ml of blood mercury, how about it?
The market value of this item is close to ten thousand magic stones, and it can also increase your strength to that of a high-level knight, so it is a very cost-effective deal for you."

Olinda rolled her eyes upon hearing this: "Why not just use 5000 ml and help me complete the transformation of my witch body?"

"Then you should keep half of it and see if you need it in the future." Roy did not hide his wishful thinking.

Olinda laughed angrily, "You're incredible! So, I have to pay you back with the magic stones to make up the remaining half?"

"I'll give you a discount, 3 magic stones per milliliter." Roy said calmly. He mastered the technical skills and was so casual and independent.

Olinda probed again: "What about the cost of surgery and treatment for removing the human-faced demon?
How about you be generous and just take over the job, and give me some nutrition money at the same time."

Roy said, "Don't give me that. I'm already doing my best as a friend by not asking you to repay me for saving my life. How could I possibly pay you back?"

"You are so heartless!"

Having said that, Olinda thought about it and agreed.

After the two reached an agreement, they quickly began to fulfill the transaction.

"Don't dirty my bed. Come over here."

Olinda tidied up her desk, then lay down on it and unbuttoned her robe.
