Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 142 Chapter 140 Debt Transfer
"If you die inside, you can be considered a warrior, and you can't be scared to death outside." Ge Gongdao stopped by the pool full of mealworms, and kept cheering himself up. "Hehe, hehe...Ge Gongdao, you are fine."

"You talk too much nonsense." Zhuang Xuteng took off his underwear with trembling hands, and put his left foot in, enduring the constant pain from walking all over his body. "Shasha... so exciting..."

"How does it feel?" Ge Gongdao asked loudly.

"It's really covered with mealworms, which can definitely bury you in it—it's much better than a bathtub." Zhuang Xuteng said, holding the pool wall with his hands, moving his body slowly, and finally put both feet in. "Don't worry, mealworms don't have mouths, so they don't have the ability to bite people. I'm not worried about them at all, but I don't know what this purple potion is."

"I don't know. Maybe when we finish the training, he will decrypt it..." Ge Gongdao gritted his teeth, first put his hand into the pool to feel it, and then frowned and stripped himself naked.His movements were stiff, trembling and slow, like an old man in his dying years.

Zhuang Xuteng had already lay down, submerged in the pool water except for his head.His body sank and squeezed the mealworms, so he was wrapped.The Famine Stranger was right, those squirming bugs were all itching.

Ge Gongdao was still in the process of slowly entering the water, and he was still trembling - although the laughter was not suitable for this scene, Zhuang Xuteng really couldn't help it. "Hahahahaha...that's so weird...I'm sorry I couldn't help it, hissing, hahaha, it hurts and itches! I didn't mean it, hahaha, don't you seem a little perverted..."

"Damn it, fight!" Ge Gongdao's spirit continued to be tortured by Zhuang Xuteng's laughter, and he couldn't bear it!He pinched his nose with his hand, handed over his fate to gravity, and sat down.His pool is noticeably deeper and has more mealworms.I saw the water in the pool was rippling, Ge Gongdao was completely submerged and disappeared, and many mealworms were squeezed by him and floated on the water.

Zhuang Xuteng raised his hand to cover his laughter, and kept staring at Brother Dao to see if he needed help.After a while, Brother Dao surfaced.He slowly spit out a mouthful of purple liquid, his eyes were closed tightly, and a few mealworms lay on his head and face.His body was still shaking, and he was clearly still trying to overcome his psychological resistance. "Don't say anything, feel for yourself..."

"Okay. Persevere and train." Zhuang Xuteng gradually got used to the itching, at least he could hold back his laughter.He took his hand away and found blood on the palm of his hand, which he knew came from the skin of his face.He suddenly thought of Meteor, she would get blood all over her face when spying on information, and he didn't expect me to do the same.

"I think what you did was right. You can't be shameless. It also needs treatment. It should be submerged in the water." Zhuang Xuteng looked around and said, "Brother Dao, do you have a breathing device over there?"

"No...unless it's this." If Zhuang Xuteng didn't need him, Brother Dao would never open his eyes again and let the breadworm enter his sight. "There's an iron pipe right next to the pool, maybe you can hold it in your mouth and breathe?"

"If I have it here too... sure enough. It seems that this thing is for us to breathe underwater—why didn't Mr. Ke tell us directly?"

"No... I don't know, maybe he wants us to find out by ourselves?" Brother Dao trembled and closed his eyes again. "He must have said that we should understand it ourselves in the process of exploring."

"It seems so." Zhuang Xuteng picked up the iron pipe and blew on his mouth.Its length is about [-] centimeters, which is completely sufficient. "Okay, Brother Dao, let's meet underwater. Don't forget to practice breathing and feeling the skin."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk, I..." Ge Gongdao had already sunk into the water with the pipe in his mouth before finishing his sentence.

Zhuang Xuteng smiled, supported the pipe with his hands, and sank.After a while, the mealworms had already crawled all over his body, covering him tightly.

The skin is the largest organ of the human body, the main source of the sense of touch, and the first layer of protection for the body.It can be tempered hard, or it can be very soft and silky, and it is also one of the organs with the strongest self-healing ability in the human body.

Capillaries and nerves are all over the skin, and it is also one of the channels for exchanging material and energy between the body and the outside world.Sweating, detoxification, and warming up by the fire are all skin functions.Now Mr. Ke asks Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao to further develop the ability of the skin, making it a bridge to communicate with other creatures.

It sounds amazing, right? Zhuang Xuteng doesn't quite understand how to do such a thing.Teacher Ke told them: Those people can make their skin not afraid of burning and cutting, the reason is actually the same.

The specially formulated purple potion is the medium, and the mealworm that absorbs nutrients through the skin is the teacher in another sense.The external conditions for training have already been met, and Teacher Ke also taught them the method of breathing, and the rest depends on their inner efforts.

Breathing method is the core of dormant martial arts, it is actually a set of techniques for controlling the body.Among the various basic functions of the body, breathing is far more controllable than heartbeat, gastrointestinal motility and hormone secretion. It is actually the entry way to control the body.All strengthening methods involving the internal organs must start with breathing.

Zhuang Xuteng strives to maintain a specific rhythm, focusing on the subtle changes in the body.The expansion and contraction of the chest, the rhythm and intensity of the heartbeat, the movement of pain and itching in the nerves... Zhuang Xuteng gradually felt that he was not himself, he was manipulating the body from the perspective of a bystander; then, he He felt that he was more himself, because his ability to control himself was improving.

They need to teach the skin to "breathe" like the already existing respiratory system.This is not to turn people into frogs, human skin can never be a pathway for oxygen exchange.The breath here has two meanings: one is the way of control, and the other is its ability to exchange.

Human breathing does not need to be controlled to be able to proceed autonomously, of course it can also be actively controlled.Dormant martial arts require skin breathing to achieve this level.As for the exchange ability, in addition to what the skin can do originally, under the action of the special potion, the skin will have the characteristics of a shadow implant.

This does not involve any implant modification, the skin is still the original skin and can still accept new implants.The "implant" feature here refers to tricking other implants into thinking "human bodies" don't exist.

The ability and side effects of the implant are an exchange of equal value. If you want a strong ability, you have to pay a price, just like you have to pay back the money in debt, and you must pay it back in time, otherwise the interest will be rolled up and you will be killed.The essence of the so-called transfer of side effects is to deceive the implants and let them find the wrong "creditor".Starting from the skin, the human body is disguised as another implant to join the ranks of creditors in disguise.

So who will bear the debt?It is the other animals around.The Stranger Things use experimental mice because they are biologically stable, easy to obtain, and highly receptive.Of course, the best recipients are organisms such as mealworms that can absorb nutrients through the skin, or amphibians with the ability to breathe through the skin—represented by frogs.It's just that neither mealworms nor frogs can leave the water environment for a long time, and the portability is not as convenient as that of experimental mice.

Owning money and others paying it back, this is the essence of dormant martial arts.The Famine Stranger was quite frank with his apprentice. He said that he was like a parasite, and that this martial skill was greedily and ruthlessly absorbing everything that did not belong to him.

"Once, all my mice were dead, but there were still many enemies. In order to survive, I dressed up dying people and used them as stepping stones to kill them—so this martial skill can be used On any creature you can touch with the skin." The Stranger said: "But I don't recommend you to use other people. On the one hand, that condition is difficult to achieve, and on the other hand, there will be sequelae-you practice the normal ones first. , After I have experience, I will tell you unscrupulous things."

Zhuang Xuteng has to practice hard even if it's just to be able to listen to what's not serious.He continues to control his breathing while paying attention to maintaining mental focus and controlling the rhythm of the body in a specific state.The purple potion entered through the wounds in the skin, healing them while acting as a medium between them and the mealworms.

The mealworms crawled around, very itchy, but they still only stayed on the touch, and the effect of absorption and transformation did not appear.Zhuang Xuteng was a little anxious, because he was not sure whether these wounds could heal on time with only purple potion, and whether the next training session would be delayed.

After thinking about it, Zhuang Xuteng decided to increase his strength, and activated binaural enhancement.In an instant, the sound of hundreds of mealworms swimming and wriggling rushed into his ears, and his sensory abilities were greatly enhanced.At the same time, the implant will have an impact on the body, and the side effects always need to find a bearer.At present, the recipient is still Zhuang Xuteng, but this time Zhuang Xuteng can use his dormant martial arts to chase side effects and collect debts from him.

Well, without doing anything else, Zhuang Xuteng cast the bone spear technique with both hands, keeping his mouth shut, to simulate the effect of the bone spear pistol - the same is also the eye of the shadow.Although they are necromancy spells, they also include shadow techniques, and the underlying principles are the same.The mental exhaustion and shock caused by mana consumption can also be seen as side effects, which are creditors on another level.

Physical injury, implant side effects, mana consumption, Zhuang Xuteng found three times as many creditors for himself... Now, the debt pressure becomes clearer, and the accumulation of interest is more intuitive, and he still needs to continue to control his breath and adjust his state , Constantly examine the changes in the body.

Perhaps the debt pressure is too great, they are always looking for a breakthrough, and changes occur at this time.The adaptive implants, located in Zhuang Xuteng's arms, were originally designed to alleviate the side effects of shadow guns, and it gave Zhuang Xuteng his first inspiration.

Like suddenly seeing a bright light in the dark, Zhuang Xuteng suddenly "enlightened": it turns out that the feeling of skin breathing is like this, or it should be like this.Through his arms, Zhuang Xuteng found the feeling, and he used this feeling as a reference to find a breathing rhythm that can make the feeling clearer and the exchange process more efficient.Then, he let his body enter that rhythm, and let the feeling of finding spread from his arms to his whole body.

Interestingly, wherever that feeling spreads, the itching disappears.The mealworm seemed to be a part of his body, just like the upper and lower lips stuck together would not make the other person feel itchy.

So, the mealworm was tricked by him into taking on the debt...
