This time, he couldn't figure out how He Ao had discovered him.

However, in that brief moment of shock, a tremendous force struck his soul, causing him to lose control of his body in an instant.

Psychological interference.

He Ao twirled the short sword in his hand, reversed his grip, and thrust it sideways at the dark figure behind him.

When he touched the shadowy figure's body, he clearly felt that his short sword was being obstructed, as if it were some kind of alloy armor.

However, it is clear that the quality of this armor is not that high.

The sharp dagger pierced through the armor with ease, penetrated the opponent's lungs, and then pierced the heart sandwiched between the lungs.

Bright red blood flowed out from the blood groove on the short sword.

He then drew his sword outward, severing the muscles on the side of his opponent's body.

And the enemy's energy gathering point is right there.

As the sword was drawn, the shadowy figure staggered as if its spine had been removed, nearly falling to the ground.

Bright red blood flowed from his wound, but he ignored it.

He laboriously reached into his pocket and pulled out a test tube sealed with a white latex stopper; a translucent white liquid rippled inside.

He bit the latex stopper, trying to pull it out.

However, he ultimately failed.

His body leaned forward and he fell to the ground.

In hand

The test tube rolled out and landed not far in front of him.

He reached out, trying to grab the test tube.

But his hand eventually froze in mid-air and then fell limply to the ground.

He Ao squatted down and picked up the test tube containing the translucent solution.

The shadowy figure looked up at He Ao, his ability to conceal his form slowly fading, revealing a pale face.

He stared at He Ao, his gaze gradually losing focus.

He Ao looked at the test tube in his hand.

The liquid in the test tube was generally whitish and semi-transparent.

These liquids were not so still; as He Ao gazed at them, it seemed as if some force was slowly stirring within them.

This force gave He Ao an extremely warm and familiar feeling.

However, separated by the test tube, He Ao couldn't immediately recall what this force was.

However, this force seemed extremely active, and He had no doubt that it would escape quickly once he opened the latex stopper.

These test tubes also appear to be specially designed.

Unlike other mithril test tubes, which are mostly covered in mithril, this one is transparent like a regular glass test tube, with only a small amount of mithril inlaid around the mouth.

Judging from the shadowy figure's last movements, the test tube most likely contained something that could save lives.

Theoretically speaking, even C-rank enemies in dungeons are very difficult to kill.

The shadowy figure had not anticipated that He Ao possessed the ability to see through the energy nodes of superhumans and instantly kill C-level beings by destroying those nodes. Therefore, he was completely unprepared, to the point that in the end, he didn't even have the strength to open the test tube and drink the liquid inside.

The shadowy figure was clever and experienced. If he successfully drank the liquid in the test tube and saved his life, then He Ao would probably be in trouble.

Unfortunately, while He Ao had a fairly accurate guess and understanding of his skills, he knew almost nothing about He Ao.

After the shadow died, the mark that Heo had used returned to his body.

He can mark up to five people at the same time. The two people he marked earlier were the first doctor and the director of the institute, Reed.

The hypermemory marker can be reused repeatedly, as long as no more than five are used.

However, He Ao also discovered a problem: as the number of markers increased, the consumption of hypermemory also increased.

Pete's body is probably not strong enough to withstand such strenuous activity.

creak-

The door, which He Ao had been half-closing, was slowly pushed open, and Aini peeked out.

"Dad, is it over?"

Although He Ao had just fought many times, the frequency was high and the duration was short. Aini could hear the clanging and banging sounds from outside.

She felt there was no movement inside the house, so she came to check.

The room was pitch black. She reached out to turn on the light, but found that the light wouldn't turn on.

"ended."

He Ao stood behind his daughter and reached out to close the door.

"what!"

Annie was startled by the voice behind her. She turned around and, using the light from her bracelet, saw that it was her father. She breathed a long sigh of relief and patted her heaving chest. "Dad, you scared me. So what just happened?"

"It's okay, you can go back to your bedroom first."

He Ao waved his hand, signaling his daughter to return to her bedroom.

Although the room was completely dark, it was still...

Having lived in this home for many years, my daughter should be able to easily find her way back to her room.

At the same time, He Ao shut down his hyper-memory.

The moment he lost the support of his hyper-memory, his body went limp and he fell to the ground against the door.

He Ao felt an intense wave of dizziness and exhaustion rushing into his mind, his hands and feet felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and even moving them was extremely difficult.

This body is still too weak.

"dad!"

Aini turned pale with fright and quickly squatted down. "Dad, you have a nosebleed, and you have a lot of blood on you too."

She hurriedly rummaged through her pocket for tissues.

"I...I'm fine, it's not my blood, you go back to the bedroom first."

He Ao said with difficulty, gesturing for his daughter to go back to her bedroom.

He also needs to tidy up the scene. When he first entered the instance, the system should have a recovery ability that would help him repair some of the damage to his body.

However, his daughter wouldn't listen to him at all.

Annie stood up and turned on the lights in the restaurant next door.

This house is an open-plan dining and living room, artificially divided into a dining area and a living room.

The dim light shone into the living room, which was littered with broken light bulb fragments and bright red blood.

Annie opened her mouth wide, but she covered it and didn't scream.

At that moment, she finally understood why her father insisted that she go back to her bedroom.

Then she went to the balcony and got a mop and a broom.

She first painstakingly wrapped the shadowy figure's body in a carpet, then picked up her cleaning tools and began to clean.

"Don't use hot water, heating will denature the protein and make it harder to clean."

"Be careful not to get it on your clothes."

"Don't use a mop directly; first use tissues to absorb as much of the absorbent material as possible..."

······

"Dad, aren't you annoying me?!"

The little girl stood the mop upright and glared angrily at He Ao.

However, she still corrected them one by one as He Ao reminded her.

He Ao smiled and shook his head.

His health is recovering rapidly.

He glanced at the test tube in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then immersed his divine sense into it.

In an instant, the forces within the test tube began to surge violently.

The translucent liquid looked as if it were boiling.

Chapter 432 'Immortality' Doesn't Necessarily Mean Humanity (Long Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

When He Ao immersed his divine sense into the transparent test tube, he clearly felt a strong resistance.

Although divine sense encounters different obstacles when penetrating different objects, the resistance strength of this test tube was slightly beyond He Ao's expectations, being dozens of times stronger than that of ordinary materials.

He Ao carefully manipulated his divine sense to break through layer after layer of obstacles, getting closer and closer to the liquid in the test tube.

At this moment, a certain force inside the test tube seemed to sense the approaching divine consciousness and began to boil violently.

These forces...

As his divine sense drew closer to these powers, He Ao finally understood why they felt familiar to him.

The power 'sealed' in the test tube is 'qi'.

The "qi" of martial arts.

As He Ao's divine sense entered the test tube, the 'qi' began to surge wildly, swirling around the area where his divine sense had penetrated.

Divine consciousness is a higher and more concentrated power than 'qi', and their shared origin causes these 'qi' to begin to stir.

This also explains why this test tube has such a strong obstruction to consciousness.

This test tube was specifically designed to seal away 'qi', and it also has a certain hindering effect on divine consciousness of the same origin.
