Chapter 1256 No. 163: First-level separation is successful

A few minutes later.

On the mountain path leading to the back mountain, Xiao Lu and Mi Yu were looking at Omar running on the ground, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.

"Um, Linton-san?"

At the end of the tangle, it was Xiao Lu who first mustered up the courage to speak, causing the delicate combination to pause.

"If you want to know why we have to prolong the state..." Omar, who was running in the front, moved past the round body that was once suspected to be unable to run.

"I can give you a simple answer, so it's less likely to be discovered."

"Eh?"

To be honest, Xiao Lu had more than one doubt in his mind, and this was not the most urgent thing for him to speak.

But it must be said that there is a kind of magical charm in watching a guinea pig giving a serious explanation. This charm is like some memes that he is reluctant to break, so he chose to listen obediently at the moment.

The person/mouse whose brain was working at a high intensity all the time lacked such self-awareness and continued to explain as usual:
"Remember the 'bioinformation' I told Tachyon about before?"

"This appearance is not only difficult to detect visually, but also an excellent camouflage for biometric identification."

"In this state, I only have to consider the flaws in my mind and soul."

"But Suzuko also said that if you overdose on that medicine, you will become confused like before..." Mi Yu whispered, "...Do you consider that as a solution?"

"Very perceptive, Miss Mi Yu," the guinea pig raised its paw, used its toes as fingers, and shook it at her.

Then he turned around again, spread his paws, and left the two of them with his back like a big ball of wool.

“Normally you don’t have to go that far.”

"But if necessary, I will seek your help in advance."

"Is it my illusion... Omer-san you..." He silently called out to Xiao Lu who was following Mi Yu, and lowered his head to look at the guinea pig trotting in front of him.

"It seems like they're already assuming that there are enemies in Zero's place."

"Not necessarily friends, but they will definitely be alert and more professional..." The demon guinea pig answered while running, only looking back out of habit, "Xiao Lu, this topic itself should be considered serious, right?"

"Uh... sorry." Xiao Lu awkwardly turned his eyes away from Omer.

He really wanted to be more serious, as it would be more in line with the current topic, but seeing the other party running as if he was crawling happily, no matter how serious his tone was, he could not stop the subtle look in his eyes.

“Actually, I wanted to ask at the beginning…”

“It’s not difficult, nor is it tiring.”

The mouse answered without even turning his head, as if he had anticipated this question. It would be more accurate to say that Xiao Lu was not the first one to ask him this question.

"I've had similar experience in a very immersive monster game."

The mutated monster King Morat in the Tiga studio is a giant mutated mole and also a rodent that needs to crawl. The only difference between it and the current one is that King Morat has well-developed muscles and his body performance is not bad.

On the other hand, this guinea pig body...

I can only say that it is improving.

The soul that has been re-assimilated with the body will act as a flag and beacon in every confrontation between the body and the power of the drug.

It not only allows the body to change back to its original appearance, but also allows the self to gradually return to its original state quickly.

Right now, the size of the demon guinea pig is obviously expanding as time goes by. According to Speed ​​​​Zong's estimation, he will return to his original state within an hour, and the final recovery will be like a reverse magical girl transformation. He will be wrapped in darkness and then covered by light. By then, he will look like he was before drinking the medicine, with even clothes "growing" out.

To be honest, it is to restore it.

So-called magic potions are often simulations of source energy.

Especially the magic potion with the function of transformation, which is closer to the distortion and rewriting at the level of "information" than the transformation and rewriting at the level of physical body and genes.

The so-called transformation, including Omar's demonization talent itself, also follows the same path. However, inferior inferior products can usually only achieve changes in "cognition", and it is difficult to deceive the machine, which can see through the reality through a layer of screen, and is far from being comparable to the current transformation effect.

From this perspective, you can clearly feel the extraordinary achievements of Elise Tsuyoshi.

Even if she failed to truly overcome the barrier of experience, her resume was already filled with achievements that transcended factions, and what was undoubtedly more valuable about this achievement was that she was always able to control these effects to the level of 'side effects'.

This means that the main effect she calls "resetting metabolism to achieve recovery curve" has a far more stable, more obvious, and more direct effect than "becoming a guinea pig."

She always tried her best to achieve the coexistence of two drugs with very different effects. Every failure made the subjects breathe a sigh of relief and sigh from the bottom of their hearts, "There are no side effects this time."

It also allowed the pharmacist to pretend to have nothing to do and take notes, do his job perfunctorily, and look for plans and opportunities for improvement.

So, from some point on, Omar's view on those "side effects" also changed. He no longer simply regarded them as a burden, but saw them as a possibility that could be utilized.

Perhaps it was because the drugs that Tachyon showed him always had side effects of one kind or another.

Or maybe it was because he was wearing a helmet with his eyeholes open and used the "photon force ray" to trick Qianming that made him pay special attention.

Although the result of Airi Tachuko's work this time ultimately pointed to guinea pigs, which was beyond his expectations, the direction of "transformed animals" was a cause and effect that he had to admit.

As early as last week, he had specifically asked about Elise's current scientific research results, and then mentioned the possibility of animal changes.

Even though she only spoke in a way that provided the other party with ideas, it was clear that Airiya was not slow.

Not only was she interested, but a certain Miss Quetzalcoatl had given her the final piece of the puzzle.

As a result, it is obviously not the reptiles that the proposer is keen on, but the rodents that are often mentioned by practitioners.

Rodents are rodents...

Always good at quick thinking, in other words, always cleaning up after things, which also means that psychological expectations are always low.

Omer Linton, who always looks at the pros and cons comprehensively, is obviously not a complete pessimist. A complete pessimist will face everything negatively until he loses confidence and courage in life. But someone who is always cleaning up the mess should at least have an optimistic mindset to find joy in suffering when he is at the bottom.

'At least having a pet guinea pig is more natural and reasonable than having a pet snake...'

"Besides, King Morat has actually done it before. A complete snake body might be as embarrassing as Holhaiya when he just turned into a feathered serpent..."

Although this is true, it is more like a self-consolation, which is the trainer's helpless optimism.

'Crisis is also an opportunity' - many people have said similar words, and Omar has used them to comfort others, but he doesn't think so in his heart.

He just felt that these words paralyzed many people and made them put the cart before the horse.

Opportunities are always there, but you never care about them, let alone seize them. However, opportunities in crises are so conspicuous because they are extremely valuable. If you don’t seize them, it will end in tragedy.

This book should be used as a warning to yourself not to end up in such a situation, rather than deliberately putting yourself in danger for the sake of opportunity and taking a gamble.

But if I were to say this to Elise, I don't know how much she would understand.

Even if I tell this to Zero, I don't know how much he will understand.

There are also people who don't like gambling but are just used to being reckless. If you expect such a person to keep things secret, it is better to expect him to have an assistant who is more considerate.

Of course, it is also possible for him to be the perpetrator instead of an assistant.

But considering Cerona's strength when he is not acting, Omer is more inclined to the former.

So now he crawled among the grass leaves, following the light of Cero, and then in the sudden alarm.

He picked up the reagent from under his little paw, took a few drops, and froze on the spot.

"So it's Zed and Miyu, and... the pet mouse?"

"Let's send them away first. What should we do with this rat?"

"Oh, then take it to Ace."
