Only I can make them stronger

Xia Ye sat on the chair, silently looking at the maid who was sitting on the counter with one leg up, without caring about her image.

The other party's repeated irritability made him decide to remain silent for the time being.

The latter's beautiful eyes behind the thick lenses looked up and down at Xia Ye, especially staying on the crowbar at his waist for the longest time.

At this moment, he seemed to feel vaguely that his obscured inspiration had some reaction, as if it was subconsciously resisting some kind of invasion.

"Are you using inspiration to spy on me?" Xia Ye's expression became serious, and he tried to stop the other party.

Although he had done this more than once, he still felt uncomfortable being observed so blatantly by others.

If his inspiration is still good, he will fight back well.

"You can actually detect that?" Upon hearing that, the feeling of being spied on instantly disappeared. The maid opened her eyes wide, and an extremely surprised expression appeared on her pretty face.

"You're not the only one who can use inspiration." Xia Ye responded without being polite.

After all, as a person with special abilities, he is extremely special and is quite sensitive to this matter.

"No, your inspiration should be blocked." However, the other party's next sentence made his heart tremble.

How did she know!?

Could it be that she also knew something about the House of Flesh and Blood underground last night, or even had contact with it? !

"Don't look at me like that. I've been through similar things as you, so I know exactly how you are doing right now."

"Your abilities just went out of control, didn't they?"

The maid jumped off the counter, came to Xia Ye, and pulled out the crowbar from her waist so fast that he couldn't react.

"Hey!"

"Don't scream, I'll just take a look." The maid completely ignored Xia Ye's protest, dodged Xia Ye's hand, and carefully looked at the crowbar in her hand.

"It's not the power of this weapon, but comes from yourself..."

But soon, she threw the crowbar back to Xia Ye like throwing away garbage, and said in a commanding tone:

"Use your abilities, any one of them will do."

"Forget it, there's a high chance that she can provide important information... I'll endure it..." Xia Ye persuaded himself in his heart, put the crowbar back into his waist, took a deep breath, and activated the healing fire.

And the moment she saw the white flame, the maid was stunned.

At this moment, all her violent and arrogant emotions seemed to disappear into thin air, leaving only a quiet country girl with a beautiful face.

"This is... a force that can contend with that kind of thing..."

She stretched out her hand in disbelief, muttering to herself as she slowly moved towards the direction of the fire.

But just a second before it was about to touch, the flame disappeared.

Instead, there was Xia Ye's smirking face.

"What are you doing!" The maid's irritable mood quickly returned, and she glared at him fiercely and asked.

"This is my ability. I can start it when I want to, and stop it when I want to, right?" Xia Ye felt secretly happy and said in a mean way.

In those few short seconds just now, he saw a strong desire in the other person's eyes.

Although he didn't know the reason, since he had this constraint, why should he be polite to this girl?

"You!" The maid slapped the table with an astonishing momentum, but Xia Ye was as calm as a reef in the waves.

"When you need someone to do something, please be polite and say 'please'."

"..."

"Could you please use your ability again, for a little longer?" Finally, after taking a few deep breaths, the maid gritted her teeth and spoke word by word.

"That's better." Xia Ye didn't intend to make things difficult for the other party. Seeing that his attitude had improved slightly, he relaxed and rekindled the fire of treatment.

This time, he clearly saw that the maid breathed a sigh of relief the moment the flame lit up.

It seemed as if some uncomfortable symptoms had been relieved.

And after his fingertips touched the flame, this condition became more obvious.

"Well, how long will it take?" The other party seemed very comfortable, but Xia Ye was not very comfortable.

I don’t know what’s wrong with this girl. My healing fire seems to be working, and my mental energy is being consumed extremely quickly.

If it had been another ten seconds, he would have fainted on the spot.

"Okay... let's leave it at that for now... thank you..." After two seconds, the maid withdrew her hand, and sat down on the side as if exhausted, half lying on the table.

"Thank you? It turns out you are quite polite?" Xia Ye was quite confused by the sudden change of attitude and couldn't help but joked.

"...I'm sorry..." To his surprise, he did not receive any bad response. The other party just lay on the table, gasping for breath and apologizing.

"That was not my original state."

66. I want you to swear with me

"What does this mean?".

"..." The maid hesitated and fell silent, as if this matter was difficult for her to explain.

"Is it a difficult question to answer?" The other party's state made Xia Ye even more confused.

"Before answering this question, I have something else I want to ask you..."

"You said."

"Have you ever been to Sunset Town?"

Hearing this question, Xia Ye raised his eyebrows.

I'm afraid this trip to the highway area will be more troublesome than I thought...

"No, why do you ask?"

"Because I saw the same symptoms in you as those in Sunset Town."

"Sunset Town...the infected?" The other party's choice of words made Xia Ye suddenly feel a chill.

The only events that had affected him since arriving in the highway area were those he had experienced underground last night.

Could it be that there is the same terrifying existence in Sunset Town and under the motel?

"You should have heard about what happened in Sunset Town. It was suddenly abandoned overnight a year ago. The doors and windows were closed and no one survived."

"Um……"

"In fact, the residents there are actually infected... or affected by some strange thing. They are still alive, but they have locked themselves tightly in their houses, without seeing the light or outsiders."

"The hiding place remains dark... The hiding place refuses visitors... The hiding place remains quiet..." Hearing this, Xia Ye remembered the similar words of motto that the pale spider monster had said, and recited them subconsciously.

The maid's description of locking herself in the room seemed to completely match these words.

Those closed houses are the so-called "hiding places".

After hearing these words, the maid suddenly widened her eyes, stood up in horror, her chest heaving violently, her expression becoming irritable again, and shouted, "Shut up!"

"Calm down, calm down..." Xia Ye rekindled the fire of healing and gently soothed the other person's palm.

After this action, the maid's condition improved. Her eyes showed deep confusion and fear. She sat down weakly, holding her head, her face full of pain.

"I don't want to be like this either... But if I don't use strong emotions to inspire inspiration to resist these voices, I will become a madman like them..."

"It's okay, I have a good temper and I don't blame you." Xia Ye could only comfort her with a wry smile.

His condition in the House of Flesh and Blood wasn't much better.

At that time, he just wanted to swing the crowbar and destroy everything within his sight to vent his extremely suppressed emotions.

The fact that the maid in front of him would have such a strong reaction to these words showed without a doubt that the situation in Sunset Town was very similar to that in the House of Flesh and Blood, and that they had the same culprit.

"You have a very strong heart and very special abilities..." After calming down for a long time, the maid whispered.

"Although you have also been contaminated, I can see that you can maintain your sanity on your own..."

"How do you know I'm contaminated?" Xia Ye had always been puzzled as to why the other party could see that his inspiration was blocked.

"Because I am a user of the mysterious realm, and I have a different perception of inspiration and rationality than ordinary people."

"Is it actually the mysterious domain... Judging from his skills, it's exactly like the fighting domain, right?" Xia Ye complained silently in his heart.

"From the ability you activated, I felt a very familiar strange inspiration that was exactly the same as the one lingering around me. It was this kind of thing that blocked our own inspiration and constantly affected our minds."

"But I can still feel another kind of power in you... a powerful power that is strong enough to counter this strange inspiration. I think it is because of this power that you can say those words without changing your expression."

"Power?" Xia Ye knew very well that his system and inherent abilities were definitely superior to the current ability dimension of Hill Continent.

This is not difficult to see from previous experiences.

Rather, it is because of this that he is particularly wary of the "weird inspiration" mentioned by the other party.

Because this was the first thing he encountered that could interfere with him at the ability or even system level.

"It is precisely because of my exposure to your power that I can temporarily block out the whispers in my ears and make me feel much better, so... thank you." The maid reluctantly raised her head and smiled at Xia Ye, thanking him sincerely.

"You're welcome... So as a resident of Highway Town, how did you get this weird inspiration?" Xia Ye waved his hand.

He would never refuse to help others, especially beautiful women.

"This..." However, when the maid heard his question, she hesitated again.

"It's like this. Although I have never been to Sunset Town, we are going there next because our companion disappeared in the highway area. That is the only clue we can find so far, so we have to go there."

"I'd be very grateful if you could tell me something about that."

Seeing that the other party was hesitating again, Xia Ye said sincerely:

"Besides, since you stopped me and talked to me about these things, I guess you don't just want to return to normal in a short period of time, right?"

"What if we can find a way to get rid of this weird inspiration that lingers around us?"

The last sentence was Xia Ye's most urgent thing at the moment besides finding someone.

He didn't want to return to the Shia city-state with his inspiration blocked!

"Hmm..." Hearing Xia Ye's words, the maid seemed a little shaken. After hesitating for a while, she sighed and said:

"Okay, but you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone else what I'm going to say next."

"I promise." Xia Ye agreed without even thinking about it.

"Words alone are not enough... I need you to swear an oath with me." But the maid shook her head and said a word that sounded quite ancient to Xia Ye.

The Hill Continent does not believe in gods, but only in reason. This is common sense.

If there really is a being called God, it would only be an alien, a monster, or a mythical creature that is so powerful that it is beyond comprehension.

Therefore, things like "taking a vow" seem to have only formal significance.

But seeing the serious look on the other person's face, which didn't seem like a joke at all, Xia Ye became a little unsure.

"Can you do it? If not...just leave here. I'm very grateful to you for allowing me to regain consciousness for a short period of time. I will try my best to solve my own problems during this time."

Seeing Xia Ye hesitated, a hint of disappointment appeared on the maid's face.

She called out to the man, prompted by a flash of inspiration from her genetic ability.

But now it seems that the other party is not the right person for him.

"What's impossible? Isn't it just a vow?" But suddenly, Xia Ye's words brought back the luster to her eyes.

He was not a big mouth, so it was not difficult for him to keep the secret that the other party wanted to tell him.

Even if there really were gods, he believed that they would not violate the agreement.

"This is an oath that you must never break... Otherwise, there will be very serious consequences... I'm not threatening you, it's serious!" However, Xia Ye's slightly relaxed attitude still made the maid confirm it again.

"Don't worry, it's over once you come!"

Xia Ye also nodded seriously.

He already has a lot of secrets anyway, so one more won't make much difference.
