Their commission was suspicious.

"Who am I? I am the Herrscher of Consciousness, how could I not be? Don't worry, I won't be discovered." The Herrscher of Consciousness waved her hand and flew out of Chen Luo's body, turning into a wisp of black smoke that ordinary people could not see.

The wisp of black smoke hovered above Chen Luo's head for a while, then hovered above Möbius's head for a while before flying away into the distance and disappearing from Chen Luo's sight.

As the other bird hovered over Möbius's head, Möbius frowned, sensing something different, but couldn't quite place it.

Watching his companions leave him one by one, Chen Luo felt a little lonely.

The Herald of Knowledge went off to nurture her Hua, and Sirin and the others couldn't follow.

Ugh......

However, Chen Luo couldn't keep the Herrscher of Consciousness in his sea of ​​consciousness forever. After all, although the sea of ​​consciousness was vast, it was indeed boring, and the Herrscher of Consciousness didn't like reading.

It was already quite a lot of trouble for her to accompany me during my surgery, which took so long.

As for the safety of the Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo did not consider it. After all, Chen Luo really did not think that anyone in this world could harm the Herrscher of Knowledge.

The ability of inner demons to conceal themselves is quite strong; otherwise, they wouldn't be considered the most difficult to deal with by cultivators.

This is especially true for someone like Hua, who already has certain emotions brewing in his heart.

"Luo, you're back. I didn't expect you to be hiding this so well. You actually have a special ability that you didn't tell us?" After Chen Luo and Mebius returned to the laboratory, Danzhu saw Chen Luo from afar and raised his hand. When Chen Luo came over, he slapped Chen Luo on the back.

"Um... wasn't this something Dr. Mebius told me to keep a secret?" Chen Luo said weakly.

Well, actually, it's because Chen Luo didn't know they would come up with such a reason before.

I must say, that's a pretty good excuse.

The fact that the deceased cannot testify can also explain the origin of special abilities.

After all, even the Sixth Herrscher doesn't know how many people she has killed.

With the power of the Sixth Herrscher, even a slight scattering of black mist can cause the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

Do you... remember how many slices of bread you've eaten?

“Alright, I understand. Oh, by the way, Dr. Mei is here. She also brought the first fusion warrior, Kevin, who's always in such low temperatures. To be honest, it's really cool around Kevin,” Cang Xuan said.

Upon hearing Cang Xuan's words, Chen Luo simultaneously felt a chill.

Looking towards the source of the chill, Chen Luo saw a gentle-looking young girl and a physically cold-looking young man beside her.

Well, physically speaking...

Dr. Möbius followed behind the two.

After watching Mei and Kevin whisper to each other for a while, Chen Luo saw Kevin walk straight towards him.

"Are you... a survivor of the Sixth Herrscher incident?" Kevin asked after a pause.

"Uh...yes, is there something you need?"

"My name is Kevin. Since you joined the Flamemoth and are a survivor of that incident, you should know me, right? Back then, when facing the Sixth Herrscher, my soft heart led to the deaths of countless people. I'm very sorry for that... I'm sorry..."

"Stop, wait a minute, let me explain. I am a victim of the 6th Honkai Impact, but not a victim of the Honkai Impact that spread because you were soft-hearted. You've got the wrong person." Seeing Kevin about to apologize, Chen Luo quickly stopped him.

Chen Luoke can't afford this apology.

Kevin fell silent instantly.

Chen Luo wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the chill emanating from the other person seemed even colder.

Losing face is...

Chapter 423 Kevin gave so much.

"From a purely rational standpoint, although we are both survivors of the Sixth Herrscher, ... your apology to me is useless."

"But if you're also a victim of the Honkai, wouldn't you like to listen to my advice?" Chen Luo asked.

"...Go ahead and say it, I'm listening." After holding it in for a while, Kevin finally said.

Although the other party was not a survivor of the accident he caused, he was still a survivor of the 6th Honkai Impact.

There's nothing wrong with listening to the other party's opinion.

"I've heard about the choice and incident you faced; it was probably a choice between the majority and the minority."

"Humans are emotional beings. Even the most rational person will make emotional choices based on certain circumstances. Life cannot be measured by majority or minority. If one day, someone with absolute power would sacrifice the minority without hesitation for the sake of the majority, that would be a disaster."

"Herrschers are not absolutely wrong beings, at least not when you made your choice. The idea that 'perhaps Herrschers could fight for humanity?' wasn't wrong. And one day that choice might even become a reality."

"Human life is not something that can be easily given up. As long as it is not a cold machine, many people will hesitate when faced with the choice you make, and thus follow in your footsteps. This is almost inevitable."

"My advice to you is not to keep thinking about things in a suicidal way. It's very easy to go to extremes and become obsessed with them."

Chen Luo is trying to persuade Kevin not to become the mad old man he will become in the future.

Although Kevin's situation is indeed quite tragic, and most other people would have gone mad in his shoes, Kevin is a hero who bears the name of savior.

If possible, let's change even a little bit.

Chen Luo knew that simple persuasion would be useless, but what mattered was the little hint he gave the other party while he was talking nonsense.

Chen Luo's abilities are not simply those of a Herrscher of Knowledge, but also include a considerable amount of inner demon power. This is a power from another world, which is enough to make people unable to defend against it.

Moreover, even if it were simply the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge, Kevin wouldn't be able to stop it now, since Kevin isn't a mental fusion warrior.

Sakura is amazing, isn't she? She possesses sword skills that seem to freeze time and space, and is one of the Thirteen Heroes.

But he almost died in the Eighth Herrscher incident.

Under Chen Luo's influence, Kevin began to waver slightly.

"And our hero, don't deny your achievements because of one mistake. Killing the guardians of the Sixth and Seventh Herrschers shouldn't make you lose your composure over something like this." Chen Luo patted Kevin on the shoulder, encouraging him.

Kevin's body temperature did indeed remain around -30 degrees Celsius for an extended period.

This temperature was indeed a bit cold for Chen Luo, but he could bear it.

"Hmm? You can touch me without getting hurt?" Kevin frowned when he saw Chen Luo's actions.

A temperature of -30 degrees Celsius is extremely difficult for ordinary people to bear, but Chen Luo remained unfazed.

Touching is acceptable, but remaining unfazed is practically impossible.

Unless... the other party is very strong.

"...Damn, I forgot." Chen Luo pouted unhappily.

Then, before Kevin could react, Chen Luo snapped his fingers.

A glimmer of chaotic light flashed by.

"Kevin, our hero, don't deny your achievements because of one mistake. Killing the guardians of the Sixth and Seventh Herrschers shouldn't make you lose your composure over something like this." Chen Luo was about to reach out and pat the other's shoulder, but his hand suddenly withdrew as if stimulated by something.

"Due to the fusion surgery, my body temperature remains around -30 degrees Celsius year-round. Please do not touch me unless absolutely necessary," Kevin said, taking a half-step back as he saw Chen Luo's movement.

"It is indeed a bit cold." Chen Luo nodded.

You think Kevin is stuck in a cycle? No, no, no, this is all thanks to Chen Luo [Ten Years].

A premium reward from Estelle – [10 years].

Chen Luo just used 5 seconds to reverse Kevin's 5 seconds of memory, making the other party's memory go back to 5 seconds ago.

After noticing that no one else was looking in their direction, Chen Luo did not use it on the others.

In a sense, this "10 years" is a bit too extreme.

Oh no, it's not 10 years anymore, it's 10 years minus 10 seconds.

This was Chen Luo's first attempt. Although it seemed unnecessary, 10 years is equivalent to 1 million seconds, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

The reason for reducing the time by 10 seconds is probably because it was used on other people, not on Chen Luo himself.

It's also possible that the opponent is too strong.

It's also possible that Chen Luo made a mistake in his technique.

But overall, this thing is really useful.

"Is the hypothermia caused by the fusion surgery? It seems that the current fusion surgery still has many shortcomings, and the side effects are a bit too high. But perhaps I can help you," Chen Luo said after a pause.

"Help me?" Kevin frowned.

"Didn't you see that announcement? Because I survived the 6th Honkai Impact, I have the ability to temporarily suppress the activity of Honkai Beast Factors. This is the key to why the surgery failed but I didn't die."

"So, rationally speaking, while I can't restore you to normal by slowly exploring my abilities, I can reduce the activity of the Ice Pig Factor in your body in a short period of time, thereby suppressing your body temperature."

"In this way, you should be able to lower your body temperature by only ten or so degrees Celsius compared to that of an average person in a short period of time."

"But it feels like this is meaningless," Chen Luo pondered.

In fact, after testing, Chen Luo's Imaginary Tree Stigmata does have a certain degree of effect in suppressing Honkai.

However, it seems that it cannot be used in fusion surgery and cannot achieve what was said in the announcement.

Theoretically speaking, theoretically speaking, that means it's very difficult to achieve.

The suppression effect of the Stigmata may completely kill the activity of the Honkai Beast genes. Since the Honkai Beast gene materials are somewhat fragile before they are combined, they are easily damaged.

If it gets messed up, then what's the point of having a fusion surgery?

The specific principles behind it? Chen Luo didn't understand either.

The information edited by Cannon Fodder No. 1 and Killer No. 1 was all custom-made.

It's not entirely baseless.

Chen Luo asked them to help him fabricate lies, so naturally he had to give them some information as well.

The most difficult lie to detect is the one that is mixed with the truth.

“No, it’s very meaningful,” Kevin suddenly said.

"But if we suppress the Honkai Beast gene activity, won't you lose your ability to control solid ice?"

“But that way, I’ll have a short time to interact with normal people.” Kevin said, then suddenly turned his head and looked at the figure who was talking to Mebius.

"...Ah, it seems our hero does have some romantic side after all." Chen Luo, noticing Kevin's gaze, suddenly realized.

You're quick-witted, kid.

Even I, who's just doing this for the commissions, haven't figured it out yet, but you've already come up with one.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Embrace]: For the sake of those he loves and those who love him, he armed himself with ice and took up the Heavenly Judgment, but he completely lost the right to embrace his lover. Isn't that too unfair? Let Kevin be able to embrace May like a normal person.

Rewards: 300 Primogems + Kevin's Affection Level 20 + Ice-type Item (Random)

Difficulty: 3 stars

Well, how should I put it?

There are rewards, but not many raw stones.

The main reason is probably because Kevin hasn't been an ice person for very long, so his obsession with embracing his lover isn't very strong yet.

If Chen Luo brought this up again after the Herald of Binding appeared...

You need to farm high and low rewards to get a four-star commission.

However... this is a long-term task.

Chen Luo didn't believe Kevin wanted to return to being a "normal person" by taking his temperature once after starting his job.

"Well, although I don't want to shatter your dreams, there's something I have to tell you. You've seen the difference in strength between us. My abilities should have some effect on you, but it probably won't last very long. You should be prepared for that, right?" Chen Luo waved his hand in front of the other person and said.

In fact, although Chen Luo hasn't really tested his Imaginary Stigmata much yet, the gap between Chen Luo and Kevin isn't that big right now.

Yeah, Kevin is the one who's lagging behind.

After all, Kevin is only in the early stages, and there is no Skyfire, no artificial collapse, and no Chimera Project.

Chen Luo felt he could suppress his anger for quite a while, but the key was that he was now playing the role of a researcher who was powerless to even kill a chicken, so how could he resort to violence?

No, how can someone be so powerful?

As for what happens next... well, we'll see how Kevin performs.

“That’s enough,” Kevin said calmly.
