Chapter 666 Chapter 662 Assuming Zhuang Xuteng is back
No matter how Liu Xing viewed the world she lived in, whether Zhuang Xuteng came back or not, she could not overcome the physical demands. After supplementing nutrition and receiving treatment, her body and mind issued instructions for rest.

She fell asleep quickly, but it was a very light sleep. Her body would often twist restlessly, and tears would flow from the corners of her eyes. Zhuang Xuteng sighed, sat down beside the bed, and placed his hand on Liuxing's forehead. He steadily and quickly absorbed the resentment, reducing the impact of the side effects on her, just like in the past. In this way, Liuxing could sleep more and more soundly, and have a real rest.

Liu Xing was still alive, which gave Zhuang Xuteng a lot of hope. If one survived, the other could survive. With their intelligence, connections, and strength... maybe after their death, the company's willingness to track them would no longer be so strong, and they would have a chance...

Zhuang Xuteng sincerely hoped so, but he also knew that hope could hurt people in many cases. He did not dare to blow up his hopes, and only thought about it for a moment before gathering his emotions. After this resurrection, perhaps because he had absorbed the Lich Master's life box, he found that it was very easy to control his emotions, and gathering his thoughts only required a thought. This was very undead, and very convenient.

"It's time to get down to business."

After leaving the protected area of ​​the Wall of Sighs, Zhuang Xuteng only wanted to get rid of the company. For this purpose, he had invented a whole set of spell systems and tested them in the Shadow Realm. However, the environment in the Shadow Realm was different from that in his hometown. In the Shadow Realm, he could only confirm through experiments that the spells had no logical problems and could be established through mana, but the actual effect could only be tried here.

Zhuang Xuteng extended his sensing tentacles. There were social public work points everywhere nearby, so he could just pick one. He had improved his spells and used his zombie physique to connect directly to the human brain computing network.

To put it simply, zombies were used to replace the dead bodies, and they were connected to the computing network through existing workstations. After entering, Zhuang Xuteng was not in a hurry to expand the area of ​​influence, nor did he use the network to extend his sensing tentacles to increase the scope of investigation. He began to use Dr. Senna's theory, gradually replacing the mana in his spells with the power in the computing network.

If this step is successful, then the sensing tentacles will be equivalent to obtaining nearly unlimited mana support. Assuming that the mana generated by a social public work point can support a sensing tentacle, then Zhuang Xuteng has the opportunity to create a tentacle in every social public work point in the world. The coverage area of ​​each tentacle is about a sphere with a radius of four kilometers, and according to the distribution data of social public work points in various cities, these tentacles can definitely cover all cities.

"It would be even better if it could support more than two tentacles..." Zhuang Xuteng focused on controlling the spell, using the method of robbing Peter to pay Paul, gradually replacing the source of mana in the spell. Soon, he found that the amount of mana seemed to be insufficient. The users of the public work points lacked shadow slaves and implants. Most of them were just people at the bottom of society, and their shadow slave mana was quite limited.

The nearest public work station of Zhuang Xuteng only has 30 machines, which is not enough to support a sensory tentacle. Zhuang Xuteng changed a shop again, which has a scale of 70, and there are 66 people working on the machines. Here, the shadow from the magic power is definitely enough, but this cannot satisfy Zhuang Xuteng.

He wanted to cover all areas. If he only relied on more than 50 social public work points, there would obviously be many loopholes. The method he invented had one thing in common with the magic circle used by the lich master to destroy the world: there was only one chance. Zhuang Xuteng could not accept the result of being lame, he had to...

"Wait, I have infinite mana right next to me. I can use this shadow suppression net..."

The Shadow Network that was used to track him was not shut down for more than a year after his death, and it was still consuming huge amounts of Shadow Energy. This puzzled Zhuang Xuteng. He wondered if there was another guy like him, and the company was under pressure to maintain the detection network in order to strike? But no matter what the company's purpose was, with so much Shadow Energy constantly reverberating and consuming in the air, why not use it to do something truly beneficial to mankind?
"The second source of mana: Shadow from the atmosphere."

Zhuang Xuteng continued to adjust the sensory tentacles, and he soon discovered that allowing a sensory tentacle to obtain two sources of mana at the same time exceeded the design framework of the spell. In fact, this statement is not accurate. The spell of the sensory tentacle requires Zhuang Xuteng to control it, so he always retains a trace of mana and most of the control mechanism. The computing power network of the social public work point is actually the second source of mana, and "Shadow from the atmosphere" should be considered the third.

A third source of mana is unacceptable - that's the most accurate way to put it.

In this case, let's create another sensory tentacle that uses the "shadow atmosphere" as the source of mana. Zhuang Xuteng can maintain multiple sensory tentacles at the same time, and now he does the same, diverting the mana of the shadow atmosphere.

The whole process went smoothly, and he quickly solved any unexpected situations that occurred along the way. Zhuang Xuteng successfully created two different types of sensing tentacles, one using the resentment and shadow energy of the staff at the public work point, and the other using only the energy of the shadow atmosphere without any resentment. Both tentacles have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they both need further adjustment when performing tasks, but they can both be used, and if used well, they can both meet Zhuang Xuteng's spell needs.

"Halfway done... Hey, Meteor seems to be waking up."

The vengeful servants and the sick lady he created have been guarding Liuxing. The former is responsible for observing Liuxing's condition, helping her get things, opening doors and lights for her, etc. The sick lady is responsible for bodyguards, not only to prevent others from hurting Liuxing, but also to prevent Liuxing from hurting herself. When necessary, she will directly whisper "Hi yo hi" in Liuxing's ear a few times, and Liuxing will be shocked, paralyzed, and fall down. This small banshee howl is used by Zhuang Xuteng as a non-lethal weapon, and the effect is guaranteed.

This was also a helpless move. Liu Xing thought that she might be under the control of the company, and it was hard to say whether she would choose to commit suicide in order to keep the secret. Zhuang Xuteng thought of this in advance, and of course he had to prepare in advance.

Liu Xing opened her eyes, still in a state of confusion. She pushed her hands down and sat up, which was obviously much better than before when she first rolled over and then slowly got up. Liu Xing first looked at the bandage on her arm in confusion, then lifted the quilt to look at the bandage on her body and legs. She asked, "Did you bandage me?"

"Yeah. How do you feel?"

"My skin is itchy, and I feel like I'm being pricked by needles from time to time. Can you adjust the program? It's either itchy or painful, not mixed. I don't know how to react to these two mixed feelings."

"Haha, it can't be adjusted. Your skin is infected by fungus, and this is what happened after you used the medicine. Meteor, are you hungry?"

"A little... I'm going to the toilet first." Liuxing hesitated. Seeing Zhuang Xuteng was boiling water and cooking porridge, she rushed to the door and reached for the padlock with both hands.

Boom... She was bounced back. Zhuang Xuteng used the Wraith Servant to block the door and applied a thin layer of disintegration effect shield on its surface, which was enough to offset the impact of the meteor. "Meteor, I'm Zhuang Xuteng, Naike, and Scarecrow. I finally found you, don't rush around - I don't want to attract the company's attention so early, do you understand?"

"Tell me something that only Zhuang Xuteng and I know!"

"So when we lived on the upper and lower floors, your door lock code was..." Zhuang Xuteng said a lot of things, including the detail that Roubao would hide when he saw her. He noticed that Liuxing had a skeptical expression, so he sighed and said, "I'm afraid you still don't believe it, right?"

"If I'm mind-controlled, my brain might make judgments without thinking, including judging that what you said is right. I can't tell which are the facts and which are the illusions brought to me by the technology." "Then there's nothing I can do..." Zhuang Xuteng rolled his eyes, sighed and sat down. "Why did you keep me talking for so long if you said there was no way earlier?"

"I want you to talk for a while longer. Just pretend that Zhuang Xuteng has really come back and is really here to accompany me."

Hearing her pitiful words, Zhuang Xuteng lost his temper. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then came up with an idea and said, "Liuxing, regardless of whether you think I'm genuine or not, you don't have to tell me anything you don't want to leak. Can you tell me something that the company must know?"

Meteor tilted his head and asked, "Why do you want to know something you already know?"

"Just pretend I don't know." Zhuang Xuteng spread his hands and said, "How are my family and friends?"

"How should I know this? I'm not Nike's exclusive intelligence officer. I serve Lucy."

"So how is Sister Lucy?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

Liu Xing grabbed the pillow beside her and placed it on her head, then made a gesture with her right hand as if she was scratching a lighter. She imitated the sound of the fuse, then thrust her hands upwards. "Bang!" She kept pouting, raised her hands high and swayed them from side to side.

Zhuang Xuteng closed his eyes, closed them tightly. He fully understood the meaning of Meteor's actions.

"My mother arranged a substitute for me, so I ran, I ran, and hid, but I was still found." Liu Xing smiled and said to Zhuang Xuteng, "It's a good place here, let me die here. If you agree, maybe I will confess."

"Keep living! I don't have the ability to change the scene, so just stay here." Zhuang Xuteng said, "When it gets dark, you come out with me. I'm going to check out a few places, and I'll take you with me. Then we'll change hotels, and I'll find one with better facilities."

"Upgrade the system, there are new scenes?"

"Whatever you say." Zhuang Xuteng was in no mood to joke when he thought of Sister Lucy's last scene. "I will avenge her. She is not only my middleman, but also my good friend - it's all my fault that everyone got into trouble."

"It's not your fault, it's the company's fault! Even if there was no Naike, the company would have taken away Mom's property."

"Wait, Lucy is your mom?"

"Don't you know?" Liu Xing looked at Zhuang Xuteng and blinked her big eyes. She suddenly realized something and tears started to flow down, as if the sluice gates of a reservoir were opened to release water. Zhuang Xuteng was at a loss and hurried to comfort her, handing her tissues and towels.

After crying for a long time, Liu Xing finally stopped. Her eyes were red. She held a wet towel in her hand and began to purse her lips. Zhuang Xuteng waited for her for a while and said, "Don't be so excited. Sister Lucy never said that you are her daughter. I was just surprised. Uh, you don't look like Lucy's photos when she was young. I really can't see it."

"She showed you a photo of her when she was young, but she didn't tell me she was her daughter?"

"Yes! That happened after I returned to Peicheng after hiding outside for half a year. She took off her mask and showed it to me, told me about her past, and then promised me that she would never sell me out to the company. She showed me photos and said that she used to be very beautiful..."

"What's in that photo?" asked Meteor.

"I remember it very clearly. She was holding up the fish she caught, and the background was a small pier on the Pei River. It seemed to be somewhere outside the city." Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said.

"Your authenticity has increased by five percentage points, but it may also be that my brain's secrets have been opened by five percent." Liu Xing shook her head vigorously, and Zhuang Xuteng quickly held her cheeks with both hands, asking her to stop to prevent her from hurting herself. At this time, Liu Xing hugged Zhuang Xuteng and fell into his arms, saying softly: "That photo is fake, I made it. She doesn't look like that, and only a few people know her true appearance."

"Okay, it's okay. Sister Lucy is always very cautious. I can handle... Meteor? Meteor?"

Liu Xing was fine just now, but suddenly she started to tremble in Zhuang Xuteng's arms, and blood flowed from her left nostril. Zhuang Xuteng immediately used his super cache martial arts to provide her with vitality while checking on her condition.

The Shadow Eye showed that Liu Xing's brain suddenly had a lot of resentment, and the side effects of the shadow were about to explode, and it could induce Lanqi syndrome at any time. Zhuang Xuteng was very surprised. He had obviously transferred and eliminated all the side effects that had accumulated before, so how could there be so many suddenly? No matter how it came about, he immediately relieved Liu Xing's symptoms and finally pulled her back from the brink of life and death again.

After her resentment was resolved, Liu Xing started to cry again, with snot and tears, and at the same time, she tightly grasped Zhuang Xuteng's arms with both hands. At first, Zhuang Xuteng thought she was scared, so he comforted her softly. After a while, seeing that she was still like this and had not improved at all, he frowned. "Don't cry, crying too much is harmful to your health. Tell me what's wrong. If you feel uncomfortable, you can beat me up - just pretend that Zhuang Xuteng is alive, and then it's me, okay?"

"You are so mean, you don't want to spend money... Can you give me some safety blue? The lowest dose is fine! The Dream Mist Experience Machine will give a little bit. You control my mind, do you still want to torture me like this?" Meteor's face turned blue, he curled up, lowered his head, and sobbed. "It's so uncomfortable... I don't want Nike, give me some safety blue... Even if he is alive, he won't come to me, just spare me! I like him very much, but he has Morgana, he won't want me at all. You go to catch Morgana, why catch me... Even if he tortures me to death, he will only miss me for a while, and will never expose himself for me. He is a bad guy! Bad guy! Big bad guy! Woo woo woo..."
