The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

"So what is going on here?" Shen Ge was a little confused for a moment. This situation obviously completely violated the strange space principles of the "reality" and the dream world.

However, this is not the only question that Shen Ge has. If he can't figure it out, he just stops thinking about it. Things will work out when the time comes. These questions will naturally be solved one day.

The most important thing for Shen Ge now is to recover as soon as possible, and then return to "reality" through the power of dreams to see if something has happened there during the "most of a day" he was missing.

If he wanted to recover quickly, it was impossible to expect to lie in bed for more than half a month. Shen Ge thought of the recovery items he had just drawn.

But he suddenly realized that the Red Mist Armor was not with him, and the things he drew had been kept in his backpack, but where was the backpack now?

What about the blood spider controlled by Xiaoqi?
"Fang Mingyue?" Shen Ge shouted towards the door.

The next second the door opened, Fang Mingyue poked her head in and asked, "Shen Ge, you looking for me?"

Shen Ge knew that this guy would not leave obediently. He would definitely wait outside the door until he was fully recovered. It was worth it that he had never treated this paramecium badly either in the "real" world or in the dream world.

"I should have been carrying a black backpack. Do you know where it went?" Shen Ge asked.

Fang Mingyue walked into the room and came to the cabinet next to the bed. She opened the cabinet, took out Shen Ge's clothes and backpack, and said, "I'll keep all your things for you. Because you have a special identity, the leader also ordered that your things cannot be touched... Take a look, are these the ones?"

Shen Ge took the backpack and put it on the bedside. He didn't open it directly. Instead, he thanked her and said, "Actually, I'm fine. Besides, this is the hospital of the exploration team. It's convenient to find you if I need anything. You must not have rested well after watching over me for a few days. Go back and rest first. I'll find you if there's anything."

"Okay, I've asked the doctor on duty to arrange a nurse to wait outside. Call her if you need anything. If you want to find me, ask her to contact me. I'll go back to the group first." Fang Mingyue said.

After Fang Mingyue left, Shen Ge took the backpack and opened it. His equipment and supplies were all inside. Judging from the position of the items, it was just as Fang Mingyue said, no one had touched his things.

The most important thing for Shen Ge now is to replenish his strange energy, so he directly took out a spiritual apple and ate it, and then... nothing happened?
Due to his weak body, his attribute values ​​were very low, but at least they were recovering slowly, except for his weird energy which was still 0. Shen Ge thought that his weird energy had been drained and that he could get a spirit apple to restore it to full, but at this time, there was no movement at all.

"System?" Shen Ge called out.

no response.

But Shen Ge quickly realized that the system was not Xiao Qi and would not communicate with him beyond instructions, so he added: "Proceed with the lottery."

As Shen Ge's order was given, the system's familiar lottery interface appeared before his eyes, and it could be used normally like the panel functions, indicating that there was no problem with the system.

"System, scan me." Shen Ge said.

[Now start to detect the host's strange energy strength——]

[Current rating: Level 5.]

There was no problem with the rating. At least in the eyes of the system, there was no problem with the strength of my strange power. Then why didn't I have any strange power at all?

"System, why can't my strange power be restored?" Shen Ge asked.

The system pretended to be dead again. Fortunately, Shen Ge was used to the system failing at critical moments. At this time, Xiao Qi was much more reliable than it.

Wait, speaking of Xiaoqi...where is the Blood Spider?
Shen Ge turned his backpack upside down and dumped the contents all over the bed. He even forced himself to open the closet and take out clothes to look through them, but there was no sign of the blood spider.

Where is classmate Xiaoqi?
Shen Ge didn't believe that Xiao Qi would leave while he was unconscious. Either he fell somewhere else when he fell, or he was left in that strange black space.

The system pretended to be dead, and the spirit apple could not restore its strange power. Shen Ge could only place his hope on other recovery products.

He first took two internal injury healing pills, then removed the gauze on his body and treated it with healing bandages. Sure enough, after the treatment, his attribute values ​​increased significantly.

Although Shen Ge was seriously injured, he did not lose any limbs, so he used a lot of "limb repair agents" and the like.

At this time, Shen Ge noticed a ball of black rotten flesh "body regeneration material" the size of two fingers pressed under the Destroying Ghost Revolver. This thing gave the Red Mist Armor extremely strong recovery ability. Shen Ge couldn't help but wonder if he swallowed it, would he turn into Majin Buu?
But he quickly dismissed the idea. After all, he was only half human and half ghost now, and did not consider himself a complete weirdo. If he swallowed this thing into his stomach, there would be no turning back.

[If a substance that can repair the system is detected, should it be "devoured"? ]

?

? ?
???

Shen Ge looked at the black rotten meat in his hand with a confused look on his face. He wanted to ask, "System, are you okay? You gave me the reward yourself, and now you want to swallow it back? What does this mean? Self-production and self-sales?"

Shen Ge was almost laughing at the system. Throughout the history of the "system" that had records, was there anyone who would ask his or her host to "reclaim" the rewards it had issued?

But despite all the complaints, Shen Ge's current "symbiotic" relationship with the system is similar to that of Venom and Eddie. All the strange powers in his body come from the system, so after the system devours the "body regeneration substance", it may really allow him to have the ability to regenerate.

Although this situation of "I gave it to you, and I want to come back and eat it myself" is a bit ridiculous, it at least avoids the danger of Shen Ge swallowing it himself.

"Swallow!" Shen Ge thought about it again and again, and finally decided to let the system swallow. After all, he also wanted to know what changes will happen to the system after swallowing.

[Begins to devour the strange cells of the ancestor——]

really!

Shen Ge was not surprised to see this prompt. The system was most likely interested in the "Original Weird Cells", even if this thing was a reward from it.

However, since the system's "rewards" are either transferred from reality or from the dream world, it is not surprising that there are things that even the system is interested in.

【Swallowed successfully.】

With a flash of white light, the black rotten flesh in Shen Ge's hand disappeared, just as it appeared when he drew it before. [The system is upgrading its basic functions. New functions will be enabled after the upgrade is completed. Please check it in two days.]

[All system-related functions are currently unavailable. 】

"Great, another downtime for upgrades, right?" The familiar downtime for updates, although there were many points to complain about, but Shen Ge really had no interest in complaining.

Two days is enough. He can take this opportunity to investigate the weird organization behind the shelter. If he can find clues related to "reality", that would be the best. If not, he can take the opportunity to help the "acquaintances" in this world deal with some troubles. Shen Ge was very satisfied with the way the backpack matter was handled.

During the two days of waiting for the system update, Shen Ge was still in a weak state and could only move around in the hospital and the exploration team.

During this period, Deng Yuqi and Liu Jiayi came to see him several times. The other groups and the new parliament had also long heard of Shen Ge, this "mysterious figure". The increasing number of people coming to visit made Shen Ge very annoyed, so he handed the task of dealing with the visitors to Fang Mingyue.

Although Paramecium has an unconventional way of thinking, it is very adept at handling such matters and solved a big problem for Shen Ge.

Shen Ge has not been idle these two days. He went to the research department and the underground factory accompanied by Fang Mingyue on the pretext of a "visit". What surprised him was that the researchers involved in the research did not seem to see any problems. What's more, what they were researching were not projects related to monsters, but some practical strange equipment.

For example, the strange energy detector that Shen Ge had "contributed" before, the research department has now found some research directions and wants to try to mass-produce this type of detector to ensure that soldiers who go out can safely avoid high-level strangeness and increase their survival rate.

Shen Ge was a fighter rather than a researcher, so he didn't have any better suggestions on research. However, with his many years of experience in dealing with high-level weirdness, he did tell Fang Mingyue a lot of ways to deal with high-level weirdness.

Fang Mingyue could tell from the "unbelievable" tactics against ghosts proposed by Shen Ge that the strange events, big and small, that Shen Ge had experienced were beyond their imagination. Suddenly, her admiration for Shen Ge increased a little more, and she wanted to recommend Shen Ge to Deng Yuqi to be a tactical consultant.

On the morning of the third day, when Shen Ge was resting in the dormitory, a message rang in his mind reminding him that the upgrade was complete.

[Currently, all system functions have returned to normal. 】

[The system has completed level 6 upgrade, and the host can query new functions through the panel. 】

"Level 6?" Shen Ge sat up from the bed, all sleepiness gone. He thought it was just an ordinary swallowing recovery, but who would have thought that it actually completed a level 6 transformation?
No, if you think about it again, the Red Mist Armor can be transformed into an indestructible artifact with the help of this strange "body regeneration substance", it can be seen that the gold content of this strange ancestor cell is very valuable.

What made Shen Ge feel strange was that when he drew the first piece of "body regeneration substance", why didn't the system prompt to swallow it?
Could this be somehow related to my weak body?
Shen Ge opened the panel with doubts, wanting to see how the system would be different from level 5 in completing this "high-level weird" transformation.

The result was shocking. Not only had all the functions of the system undergone earth-shaking changes, but some functions had also undergone disruptive upgrades.

【Song】

Rating: Level 6

100% integration with the system
"System (Level 6)": Artificial Weirdness Sequence 1, Features: Devouring - After killing the Weirdness, the corpse of the Weirdness can be swallowed.

System integrity: 60%
Features: "Devouring"

This characteristic ability is divided into "Charging Devouring" and "Fusion Devouring".

Charging and swallowing: After swallowing the target, the system can be charged to obtain energy (system points) using the "random delivery of materials" and "fixed-point delivery of materials" functions.

————The host can use the "power of dreams" to lock coordinate points, build transmission channels, and transmit matter through the channels.

The dream power consumption for teleporting in the current world (weak);
Transmission across space (extremely strong).

It is impossible to cross the dream world that has not been locked through the power of dreams.

--------

The first thing that surprised Shen Ge was the evolution of the "Energy Devouring" function. Before, he could only "extract (transfer)" supplies to himself through the system.

Although after the system is upgraded, you can first consume system points for scanning and then transfer in a targeted manner to avoid the system extracting some useless "garbage" and transmitting it together when extracting a certain area, the essence of this ability is still one-way transfer.

Now after the upgrade, Shen Ge can not only use the power of dreams to establish a transmission channel to transfer materials in an area to himself, but he can even transfer things to the location where the channel is established.

"Why do I feel that this ability is somewhat similar to the teleportation device of the Monster Organization? Wait, could it be that the Monster Organization also has the power of dreams?" Thinking of this, Shen Ge suddenly felt that it seemed that this was really possible, and then thinking of the "big whale" that could travel through space...

The key, the weirdness of space travel, the power of teleportation... Shen Ge believes that there is definitely some connection between these points. If the goal of the Monster Organization is to establish a connection between the "reality" and the dream world, then it is very likely that the "big whale" is their initial research, and Shen Ge... is a more reliable "key".

Shen Ge suddenly had an epiphany, and seemed to understand why Rongshan Psychiatric Hospital had been committed to some parasitic and weird research.

First of all, a monster gradually evolves from a low-level to a high-level, which means that they are gradually out of the control of the researchers. The danger of creating a high-level monster can be imagined.

If the "Big Whale" was the Monster Organization's initial research on cross-space, then the other party has obviously escaped the control of the Monster Organization at this time.

So they learned from their experience and began to make new attempts. First, they studied parasitic monsters that were easier to control. These "little bugs" were easier to control, and secondly, the probability of alienation was lower than that of ordinary monsters. By having them "parasitize" in the bodies of high-level monsters, the Monster Association could control high-level monsters.

The high-level monsters and high-level weirdos that Shen Ge encountered, whether they were of the fusion type or not, had more or less traces of parasitic monsters in their bodies, which shows that this speculation is indeed very likely.

And the "key" that Shen Ge holds in the eyes of the Monster Association is most likely the third-stage result derived from the first-stage "Big Whale Project" and the second-stage "Parasite Weird Project".

It's not Shen Ge's fault that he thought too much. The series of experiments conducted on him by the people from Rongshan Mental Hospital and the Monster Association must have had some purpose.

If a world is destined to be destroyed, then human thinking will naturally seek a way out. Moreover, the earth will have a "restart" mode, erasing everything and restarting. Even if it is still unknown whether this mode exists now, these people do not want to wait for death.

So they thought of a solution that was not a solution. Shen Ge had also thought of this solution after mastering the ability to travel through the power of dreams. That is to find a world where the ending has already appeared, lock the coordinates of the world to establish a teleportation, and then transfer the survivors to live there. (End of this chapter)
