I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

Chapter 212 It's perfect! The four-dimensional chrysanthemum is complete! (Seeking monthly votes)

Ivan patted the golden head: "Sorry, this is how round-headed old men are."

"Round head—hairy? Never mind!" Vic had already gotten used to Ivan's nonsense and continued talking about familiars.

"For example, you used this cat to catch those mice this time."

"If you can catch that many mice by yourself in a day, people might become suspicious of you."

"But if you rely on a well-trained cat, you won't arouse suspicion."

"In addition, familiars can also be responsible for some simple message delivery. The most classic example is an owl or a crow carrying a letter."

Evan suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Oh! Can familiars have their masters forcibly changed? If I'm caught cursing my familiar, will I suffer the consequences too?"

Vic nodded: "If you don't take any preparations or protective measures, you will indeed be arrested, but you won't be in trouble."

"As for your question about forcibly changing the owner, that's generally not the case."

"These small animals can generally only contain the spirit of one person. Trying to remove the spirit of the previous owner is no different from killing the animal."

At this point, Vic casually waved his hand, and a jet-black raven appeared on his wrist.

This crow was quite large; it was at least half a meter long just standing there.

Its jet-black feathers resembled steel, while its eyes were a silvery-gray, similar to its owner's.

Especially the shadows cast by crows on the ground, which seemed to move slightly in the dim office like living creatures.

The moment the crow appeared, Ivan felt a faint sense of oppression.

"Ha~"

Gold immediately took off his airplane ears and instinctively hid inside Evan's clothes.

Vic's tone carried a hint of smugness: "This is my familiar, Dark."

"It has been cultivated since my apprenticeship, and now it is almost in tune with my soul."

"You should know the Night Owl's weakness, which is somewhat similar to that of the Bloodthirsty Species."

"Thirsty Blood will burn directly when exposed to sunlight, while Night Owl will fall into an uncontrollable slumber when exposed to sunlight."

"At the same time, the Night Owl needs darkness and shadows as a medium to unleash its extraordinary powers."

"So during the day, I am a rather vulnerable person."

Ivan nodded. "So you use familiars to compensate for your weakness during the day?"

Vic nodded: "Yes, familiars can move freely during the day because they don't have those class weaknesses."

"Although the abilities that can be inherited are very limited, they can still help me with the most basic vigilance and the transmission of orders during the day."

After saying that, Vic casually waved his hand, and the crow disappeared.

He looked at Ivan with a serious expression: "Familiars can grow together with their masters."

"Those who have inherited spirituality are able to break through the lifespan limit of their species."

"Therefore, the earlier you acquire your own familiar, the higher the potential of your familiar will be."

"Arkham! Treat your familiar well! It will be your lifelong partner!"

Ivan hummed in agreement: "Understood! Thank you."

"Oh, right, I want to see that child one last time."

Vic hummed in agreement: "We'll wait for your final confirmation here."

"Then he will be sent to the Church of Eternal Rest, the church of healing."

Then, led by Vic, Evan and Vic opened a hidden door in the wall, revealing a winding stone staircase leading downwards.

The moment the door was opened, a strong, otherworldly aura and a damp atmosphere rushed out, and a strange howl could be faintly heard.

Vic explained, "This is our team's temporary detention center. All sorts of supernatural prisoners and monsters will be temporarily held here."

"Subsequently, depending on the outcome, they were transferred to different areas."

As Vic spoke, he led Evan downhill.

You can see that the space below is quite large, at least two hundred square meters.

Apart from a relatively spacious foyer at the front, the rest of the area consists of small cubicles partitioned off with some kind of special material.

Water droplets seeped from the cracks in the stone walls, and a few dim lights overhead cast a gloomy glow over the entire space.

The underground area has two levels. The first level is used to temporarily manage various superhumans.

The one guarding this spot is the demonic police officer who holds flowing flames in his hand.

Vic nodded and led Ivan to the second floor.

The second floor is slightly larger, and the surrounding walls are also more solid and thick.

Even within different cubicles, there are completely different environments.

Ivan's keen ears could hear the constant sound of flowing water, the roaring fire, and the gusts of wind and sand.

"This place mainly holds various out-of-control superhumans and all sorts of monsters."

"Because these guys generally have enormous destructive power, we will target them by exploiting their weaknesses."

The person on duty here now is Allen, the tree spirit that Ivan saw doing upside down in the office last time.

The tree spirit, who was reading a book, hurriedly put it down and came over: "Captain, are we going to conduct an interrogation?"

Vic shook his head: "Take Arkham to see that kid from today."

He turned to Evan and said, "Allen, our team's interrogation and guard expert."

Ivan smiled and extended his hand, while Allen said, "I've heard of Mr. Arkham's reputation!"

Then he sighed, "Poor child!"

Vic walked forward and came to the door of a room numbered 1-14.

Standing before the heavy iron gate covered in runes, Vic and the treant Allen each took out a skeletal key, and only after combining the two could they open the gate.

The room wasn't large, with a table in the middle, where the modified child was quietly lying.

Vic's voice was full of praise: "I didn't know you had this skill. I can feel a power within him that is suppressing his animalistic instincts."

Evan nodded and said, "It's a magical artifact I got when I killed those ghouls last time."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and removed the foggy encephalitis from the child's body.

The bewildered eyes gradually returned to normal, and looking at the cold, cruel surroundings, the person murmured to themselves, "Where am I?"

"Where's my grandma! Grandma, where are you!?"

A pitiful, childish voice rang out repeatedly, and the rat's body began to struggle rapidly.

Ivan bent down and tried to comfort the child.

But when the child saw Evan's face, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and then the body of the dried rat swelled up even more.

"It's you! You damned robber! You're the one who hurt my grandmother!"

I'm going to feed you to the mice!!

Just then, Vic casually waved his hand.

Then, a great deal of darkness enveloped the child's head.

Soon, the child, who was on the verge of losing control, fell into a coma once again.

Ivan was silent for a few seconds, then turned to look at Vic: "The culprit seems to be a potion. When I fought it, I vaguely heard the name of the Institute of Excellence."

"What kind of place is this?"

After listening, Vic coldly replied, "This is a rather insane and extreme scientific organization, primarily based in the Dream Realm."

"It originated from the Green Flame Brotherhood, which worships the superior blue flame, and has been conducting rather insane and twisted experiments for many years."

"Secretly, he has a special cooperative relationship with Professor Byron of your school."

"Furthermore, this organization has a very hostile relationship with the University of Michigan, and the two sides have clashed many times."

Ivan nodded upon hearing this, clenched his fist, and said, "Understood. Give this child a quick and painless end."

The two then returned to their office.

After giving a general report on today's operation plan, Evan ate a cheap dinner at the special operations team's canteen for only sixty cents, but it cost a whopping $1.8.

Although the potion in his stomach hadn't been digested yet, it didn't affect Ivan's appetite at all.

I took the tram all the way home, turned on the kerosene lamp, and let its dim light illuminate the house.

He then quickly set up a spiritual shield and checked the status panel.

【warn! 】

[Special Trait: Starburst's Devour reaches 31%, about to unlock the first stage effect.]

Once you start the first stage, you can use your stomach and intestines as a container to create a small storage space within them.

[Warning: This effect is a cumulative extraordinary property, not a dry medicine, and its side effects cannot be reversed.]

Once activated, you will gain the following weaknesses:

[1. Primary Gut Activation: Your gut has a phagocytic instinct, absorbing 500ml of the user's blood every Tuesday.]

[2. Basic Mental Confusion: Your mental strength has decreased by 1 point.]

Upon seeing this, Ivan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Drinking 500 milliliters of my blood a week? That's interesting!"

"Since it's a special characteristic, does that mean I can just pour poison blood into it?"

"Could this further enhance gastrointestinal digestion, or reduce toxicity?"

"Maybe it might actually work!"

"As for the second one, the cost of this attribute is negligible!"

"My mental state is not low now."

After confirming the attributes, Ivan clicked "OK".

In an instant, Ivan could feel an invisible force acting on his stomach and intestines.

The stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and other digestive organs, which were originally separate, now seemed to be connected as one, forming a living thing that was constantly churning inside the body.

Evan could clearly feel the thing churning in his stomach and abdomen, and the pain it caused was more than ten times worse than stomach cramps and intestinal cramps.

Holy crap!

The intense pain caused Ivan to clutch his stomach with both hands, his body hunched over like a shrimp.

This sudden, intense pain was even more severe than when I first digested the Witcher's Potion.

Even amidst this excruciating pain, Evan felt his stomach constantly drawing his blood.

The gurgling, sucking sound coming from my body was so chilling.

Fortunately, Ivan has seen his share of great things and what kind of terrifying things he hasn't seen?

Just as Evan was sweating profusely from the pain and was about to go find some painkillers, a sudden wave of intense dizziness washed over him.

In a daze, Ivan felt as if he had entered a completely dark world.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a violent earthquake, Ivan saw an enormous figure writhing and devouring in the distance.

Its size was so enormous, stretching for several kilometers, that it resembled a mountain range.

Its skin, though very soft, is as hard as steel, and its four-lobed mouth at the front can easily swallow a small mountain.

In some mysterious way, Evan felt that he had formed a connection with this thing.

Then Ivan saw the thing rushing towards them with a roar like an earthquake.

The scene was so desperate, like an ordinary person facing a tsunami wave hundreds of meters high.

A normal person would be completely dumbfounded by this scene.

Unfortunately, Evan is not a normal person.

Faced with this situation, he instinctively grinned, then pulled down his pants and shouted.

"Come on! Let's have a proper cheek kiss, you two brothers!"

Then----

boom!

Ivan felt a tremendous force acting directly on his buttocks, which he was just about to stick out.

When he came to his senses, he found himself completely still at home.

The pain in his stomach and abdomen had completely disappeared, and he instinctively sensed a rather unique space in his intestines.

The space is not very large, currently only about one cubic meter.

Although it is located inside the intestine, it can control the structure of this space, the secretion of related digestive juices, and even the strength of the surrounding intestinal walls.

After a quick taste test, Ivan casually pulled out a bottle of Lion Potion that he hadn't drunk before.

He held it in his hand to activate its properties, only to find that the potion had not been transferred to that special space.

"It seems too far away," he muttered to himself.

After holding the potion near his lower back, Evan activated his extraordinary ability again.

In the blink of an eye, the bottle of Lion Potion vanished from his hand.

Then, in his mind, the bottle of Lion Potion appeared peacefully in a corner of that space.

After appearing, Ivan began to run and roll rapidly, but the space remained perfectly stable.

Upon seeing this, Ivan was filled with joy and excitement.

"In other words, no additional fixation is needed. My physical condition does not affect the stability of the space, so there is no need to worry about any precious items inside breaking."

"Hahaha! That's it! I've finally mastered this four-dimensional chrysanthemum technique!"

Then Ivan took out the one-meter-long silver cross sword from under the bed.

He took the sword, casually tucked it into his lower back, and then the sword instantly disappeared, appearing in his storage space.

Upon seeing this, Ivan became enraged. He turned around, picked up his crucible again, and placed it behind his back.

In his mind, the crucible also appeared in that intestinal space.

"Haha, this is hilarious!"

For the next few minutes, Ivan was completely in a state of excitement.

Then he reached down to his lower back, and with a thought, the Lion Potion he had just put in instantly appeared in his hand.

Ivan toyed with the Lion Potion, then sniffed it. "Hmm, it doesn't smell like anything else!"

"Tsk tsk! No wonder they're so particular about these extraordinary things!"

"The storage space made from intestines has absolutely no odor!"

P.S.: Sir, this place can hold quite a few monthly passes!
