Hyper memory, activate!

In that instant, the bone sword was struck by the cone, hitting He Ao on the back and sending him flying, crashing into the silver iron door diagonally in front of him.

He Ao staggered around, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He smiled at the beautiful girl behind him, "I don't want to be eaten by you."

Having failed with her first attack, the girl seemed to have developed a slight interest in He Ao. Instead of continuing her attack, she looked at He Ao with a smile and said, "You really did find out, interesting little fellow."

Like a cat toying with a mouse.

"Don't you have any other appearance?"

He Ao felt a little awkward looking at her with Liu Nan's hair.

“Everyone sees me differently,” the girl said as she approached He Ao step by step. “My appearance is actually that of the person you think should be by your side.”

is that so···

He looked at her face.

Liu Nan was his only friend in the ruins. If a stranger appeared, He Ao would definitely be extremely careful and vigilant.

However, if a 'friend' appears, and this friend's appearance is reasonable, then He Ao's vigilance will naturally decrease.

In fact, this applies to everyone. The guy who transformed into Liu Nan doesn't impersonate someone to gain trust; instead, he directly transforms into the person the target feels they "should" be there at that moment.

This is 'should' rather than 'want'. Wanting is not reasonable, but 'should' is reasonable.

For example, a student forgets to do his homework, and his top-student deskmate is seriously ill and hospitalized. The person he most wants to see at that moment is his top-student deskmate so he can copy his homework.

This is a desire, not a justification; the student himself doesn't even believe it's achievable.

However, the most likely person to come in is the teacher collecting homework, which is 'expected' and reasonable.

In the heart of this student who forgot to bring their homework, the person who should be there most at this moment is the teacher.

For this shape-changing creature, when she transforms into the person the target feels should appear, she doesn't need to fabricate a plausible explanation, because the target will provide the plausibility for her.

By this point, He Ao had finally made a rough estimate of the opponent's abilities.

While he was pondering, the girl opposite him was almost in front of him, looking at him with great interest.

"Are you stalling for time? What are you waiting for?"

The silver cone was raised once more.

"Isn't your ability related to mind reading? Guess what I'm waiting for?"

He Ao raised the bone sword and looked at the girl in front of him. A metallic taste rose in his throat, which he swallowed back forcefully.

He was in bad shape. Although the violent impact seemed to have nothing to do with him on the surface, the force had fractured his ribs and injured his internal organs.

In fact, He Ao knew very well that he couldn't beat his opponent.

The being before them was clearly the 'intruder' who had tricked the entire herd of alien beasts into sacrificing their lives to create a crack in the tower's gate, and then instantly killed the tower's defense robots.

Even now, He Ao still cannot distinguish between the other person and Liu Nan based on appearance or feeling alone.

The opponent is very strong, at least a B-level.

"Sorry, the game is over, little guy."

The girl shrugged; she seemed to have lost patience. With just one move, she could take the life of this little guy who wasn't even a C-rank, and then devour him.

Yeah, we'll put him on the barbecue grill then.

However, just as she was about to make her move, she suddenly stopped.

"Woo——"

A mournful cry suddenly rang in their ears.

In fact, He Ao realized from the beginning that something was wrong with 'Liu Nan'.

This feeling of unease wasn't that he had discovered a problem, but rather that subconsciously he felt that everything was unfolding too logically.

Although he trusted Liu Nan's wisdom, an F-level non-combatant only spent half a day figuring out the weaknesses of the lowest-level C-level octopus beasts and was able to move freely right under their noses.

While this is reasonable, it's undeniably a bit too amazing.

Even with top-tier D-rank strength, capable of going toe-to-toe with C-rank when unleashed, He Ao cannot guarantee this.

This is actually the limitation of the monster's ability to transform into Liu Nan; she can only transform into the person who 'most should' be here.

However, He Ao happened to be in the ruins, and the only person she could call a friend was Liu Nan. So, in fact, she had no choice but to become Liu Nan.

If Liu Nan were a D-level superhuman, He Ao might not have been so easily suspicious, but unfortunately Liu Nan is only an F-level superhuman.

However, despite his suspicions, He Ao did not point them out directly.

First, if he guessed wrong, he might harm Liu Nan. Second, even if he guessed right, he had no idea of ​​the strength of this guy who might transform into Liu Nan, and if things turned sour, he couldn't guarantee he would escape unscathed.

So he first probed, asking about the seasonings, but the other party easily revealed the source of the seasonings.

This made him doubt his own judgment.

However, this did not dispel his doubts. Later, when 'Liu Nan' mentioned splitting up, he did not let 'Liu Nan' leave. The reason was simple.

If the other party is not at fault, letting a weak friend who just saved him face the dangerous wilderness alone is not in line with his principle of being a 'good person'.

If the other party has problems, it would be foolish to let a terrifying enemy with unknown motives escape from your sight and hide in the shadows.

However, in order to prevent the other party from using a feigned retreat as a pretext, this action was actually to follow him and verify his identity.

He then took a small test. He first imagined a mode of transportation in his mind, a 'Sprint Beetle', and imagined that with this, they could reach the tower on time.

In his imagination, this beetle was classified as a D-rank in the research institute's encyclopedia, and was very easy to tame.

Then he actually saw the beetle.

But in reality, there are no D-class beetles in the research institute's encyclopedia. The only D-class beetle in the research institute's encyclopedia is the 'merchant gorilla'.

This beetle proves three things.

First, is this 'Liu Nan' the real Liu Nan? The other party's ability should be related to mind reading, which is why the other party was able to respond accurately and quickly when he asked about the seasonings.

Secondly, the target is a tall tower. If it's not a tall tower, there's no need to spend special effort to find such a fast means of transportation.

Thirdly, and most importantly, the fact that the other party could so easily 'create' such a D-rank alien beast raises questions: whether she was a true creator or using...

He Ao was completely unaware of the illusion, and the opponent's strength far exceeded that of He Ao.

The moment He Ao saw that beetle, he thought for a split second that such a creature really existed in the world.

After making these judgments, He Ao did not immediately turn against the other party. Instead, he cleared his mind and tried not to think about anything. Then, during his journey, he gradually figured out the effective range of the other party's mind-reading ability—a radius of more than 300 meters centered on the other party.

So he often used the opportunity of hunting strange beasts to chase them out of this distance, but 'Liu Nan' was also very sharp and would catch up almost immediately. Therefore, He Ao could only use the brief time gap between going out of range and being caught up to think.

During this process, he cut off a piece of flesh from the dead octopus and mixed it with the flesh of other monsters when he killed them, in an attempt to lure the B-rank octopus leader into following their footsteps.

It was just an experiment, but he succeeded; the B-grade giant octopus chased after them while they were having lunch.

In response, 'Liu Nan' clung tightly to He Ao and hid, which proved that 'Liu Nan' was not confident in defeating the giant octopus, so she chose to retreat first.

As for clinging tightly to He Ao, it wasn't out of fear of asking for help, but rather out of fear that He Ao would run away.

From that moment on, He Ao roughly understood that the other party's first target was the tower, and his second target was him.

After that, Liu Nan also became wary of He Ao. She should know the habits of the giant octopus very well. Without some kind of attraction, the giant octopus would not have been able to come here.

So when He Ao turned his back to her and fought back-to-back with her, he was actually sending her a signal: 'I believe in you.'

This is a terrifying balance. He Ao advances by stepping on the other party's greed. Judging from the fact that the other party conjured up 'beetles' without any regard for others, the other party not only possesses intelligence that surpasses that of ordinary beasts, but also has extraordinary confidence.

She was confident that her abilities were flawless; she could even create a strange beast that she had never seen before simply by reading it from He Ao's mind. She had no worries that He Ao could lie to her.

He's terrifying balance is based on the certainty that the opponent's confidence in their own abilities and their desire for the tower outweigh their desire for He. On this basis, the opponent can selectively ignore some of the 'overstepping' actions He has taken.

As he continued his journey, Heo kept trying to control the scale of attracting the giant octopus until he could perfectly time its appearance.

When He Ao finally arrived at the tower gate, he dug up the bones of the strange beasts in order to further refine Liu Nan's abilities and determine her purpose.

He finally pieced together the timing of all the clues when he saw the tightly closed metal door of the central control room.

Clearly, the other party's target was something that might be hidden inside the central control room, the thing that attracted He Ao.

Actually, besides the things in the central control room attracting He Ao, there was also a very slight attraction to 'Liu Nan'.

Although the attraction was extremely weak, it was faintly perceptible, and it was similar to the attraction that the dancer He Ao had encountered before had to him.

From this perspective, the other party's purpose in finding him is quite clear.

What the other party actually wanted wasn't his life, but his extraordinary power—more precisely, his 'Talent Sequence 272: Hypermemory'.

Attraction is mutual. If He Ao can feel attraction in the other person's body, then the other person can also feel attraction from He Ao.

However, the allure of 'Liu Nan' was very weak, completely incomparable to the allure of the dancer at that time, and also incomparable to the allure of the things in the central control room for He Ao.

Based on the previous situation, the most likely things that can attract each other are the superior and inferior talent sequences of the same path, but the attraction shown by 'Liu Nan' is not that strong.

It's possible that the other party doesn't possess the same path as Hypermemory, but rather a related talent sequence?

But now is not the time to think about this.

He Ao stared at the girl in front of him.

The person in front of him, who appeared to be a B-level being, was after his body and his ability to access the central control room. But wasn't he also using a powerful bodyguard to safely traverse the wilderness?

Often, 'Liu Nan' would deliberately lead the way around dangerous places, and He Ao would obediently pretend not to recognize these directions and follow them. So, along the way, he never encountered any more terrifying beasts like the giant octopus.

This is the difference between having a strong tour guide and bodyguards and not having them.

But even after seeing you off for a thousand miles, we must eventually part ways.
