List of strange talismans

Chapter 72 The Brain in a Vat
Jeffrey never expected that things would develop to this point.

The too smooth capture plan made him lose his vigilance against Gu Xiuya who fell into the trap.

However, his morbid desire for expression and lack of reason made him reveal too much information unconsciously.Give the opponent too much preparation time.

All these mistakes eventually became Gu Xiuya's bargaining chips to reverse the balance of victory.

He spread his tentacles and pretended to attack, but secretly used the stupid boa constrictor's powerful ability to find 'alien energy' to locate the divine blood scattered in the brain tissue one by one.

When Geoffrey summons the worm, he seizes the opportunity and drives the tentacles to start devouring the blood.At the same time, he deliberately displayed the ability of the bottle of Tianshui to divert Jeffrey's attention, and spread clouds to block his sight and cover up his actions.

The interlocking arrangement is designed to accomplish one battle, and the final result can be said to have been doomed from the beginning.

One is a lunatic with arrogance, confusion, and a pathological desire to express; the other is a ruthless person who is cautious, never gives up, and will take someone on the road with him even if he dies.

The two compete with each other, whether they have mental calculations or unintentional calculations. Unless the former has the ability to know without asking, how can it be invincible?
"Give me back the divine blood!"

"give me back!"

Jeffrey howled in pain.

At first, he was full of air.

But soon, the voice became weak.

Later, he even started begging.

"……please."

"Give back... to me my divine blood."

Some things have a price to be paid when they are obtained, and the same is true when they are lost.

While endowing Jeffrey with powerful abilities, the divine blood completely corrupted his mind and took over his brain tissue, nerve vessels, and even cells.

It is not so much that Jeffrey contained the blood of God with his brain.Rather, it was the divine blood that changed his brain, temporarily turning it into a new species.

——A brand-new species that surpasses the limit of human physiological structure and relies on the blood of gods to survive.

This is creation after destruction.

And the price is life itself.

Therefore, when all the divine blood was stripped away, the brilliant and short life of this species had already come to an end.

Geoffrey's wailing quickly turned into a scream.

The originally active brain gradually became sluggish, the beating blood vessels stagnated slowly, and the flailing nerve tissues fell from mid-air one after another, falling into the mucus and losing their movement.

As if the stop button of a machine was pressed, all signs of life activities in the brain were silenced in the blink of an eye.

The nerves stopped beating, and the gray matter in the brain, which was still alive a moment ago, shrank and collapsed before Gu Xiuya's eyes, turning into carrion, as if after a long time of baptism.

The darkness that lingered around began to dissipate, and light gradually emerged, illuminating the eyes.

A monstrous monster appeared in sight.

It appears to have once been a human being, with the structure of its limbs and fingers still visible.But other than that, all the characteristics that should be human have been erased.

It has no head, only the body below the neck, and these remaining bodies are still proliferating, like fermented dough, not enough to expand outward.

Its skin was torn apart by countless swollen and twisted pieces of flesh, and blood gushed out from all over its body, forming a large dark red puddle at its feet.

Its entire body was barrel-shaped, and its chest and back could no longer be distinguished. The flesh and blood that swelled to the extreme constantly fell off from its original position and fell to the ground, moving around like a living thing.

The huge human-shaped piece of meat kept raising its hand, and fell in front of a glass jar.

Its fingers grabbed the edge of the glass jar, and blood dripped down.Inside the glass vat was half a vat of foul-smelling slime, with a piece of decayed brain tissue floating on top of it.

...This is Jeffrey's body?

Why is it so big?

Is it because of being polluted by the blood of the gods?

Gu Xiuya was puzzled in his heart.

He looked around and found himself standing on top of decaying brain tissue, surrounded by pale yellow glass walls.

He looked up and guessed that the top of the glass tank was at least a hundred meters away from him, which was unbelievable for a moment.

Why such a large glass container?
wrong!

It's not that the glass jar is too big, it's because I'm getting smaller!
The darkness completely dissipated at this moment, and Gu Xiuya saw the scene outside the glass tank.

A laboratory filled with various research tools.

It's exactly the same place where Jeffrey studied the blood of God in the hallucination.

And now, he is in the glass jar that Jeffrey used to dilute the blood of God.

Gu Xiuya was startled suddenly.

He originally thought that his consciousness was distorted by the ability brought by Jeffrey's divine blood, and he could escape safely as long as he stole the divine blood.

But now it seems that the biggest trouble is not the blood, but the strange glass jar in front of him.

What the hell is this?
Why can I be so small and contained inside?
Could it be... some kind of resident fetish?

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Xiu reached out and tentatively touched the glass wall in front of him.

Unlike when he touched the bottle of Tianshui, this time, he didn't feel any power of consciousness, and his reason was not affected.

The touch on the hand is ordinary, smooth, with imperceptible bumps, just like touching a normal glassware.

Gu Xiuya frowned for a while.

If this is really a resident fetish, then after Jeffrey's death, it becomes an unowned thing, and it stands to reason that it can be obtained by others.

But why the touch has no effect?
Is it because.
Gu Xiuya raised his head, his eyes fell on the squirming human-shaped piece of flesh outside the glass jar.

If we look at the duality of spirit and body, although Jeffrey has died in consciousness, his body still retains a strange activity, and it can indeed be said that he is not dead.

If the attribution of the resident sacred object complies with this point, then things will be troublesome.

——If you want to leave the glass jar, you must first master this sacred object.

The prerequisite for mastering the residing fetish is to kill its original owner first.

Things run into a paradox.

Gu Xiuya's face was a little ugly.

After thinking about it for a while, with the attitude of giving it a try, he activated the power of the ignorant boa constrictor.

Countless fine tentacles fluttered in the wind and landed on the glass wall.

Gu Xiuya tried to send the split body out of the glass tank to devour Jeffrey's body.

Once the plan is successful, the residing fetish will become ownerless, and he can take it into his pocket as a matter of course.

But what he didn't expect was that the little tentacles climbed up the glass wall and finally reached the top, but the moment they jumped out of the glass tank, they burst into ashes with a pop.

Obviously, this seemingly ordinary glass cylinder has some magical properties. Once the creatures in it try to escape from the prison, they will be attacked by some invisible force.

This may be why Jeffrey chose it to hold the brain.

Gu Xiuya was at a loss for a moment.

The only hope now is that someone out there can kill Geoffrey's body so he might have a chance to get out.

With this in mind, he glanced at his watch.

It was already noon, and according to the agreement, Childe and the others should have come in by this time.

Gollum.
Suddenly, there was a sound of bubbles.

Gu Xiuya looked down and found that the decayed brain was sinking under his feet.

The pale yellow mucus gradually leaked out from the gap, spread over the heels, and approached the knees.

That's too late.
