842: Chapter 842: The Specific Operations of Controlling Objects 842: Chapter 842: The Specific Operations of Controlling Objects “…In fact, Director San Yang didn’t go far.
Using the cover of night, he observed Xu Huo for nearly a minute before stuffing a square box into a lump of flesh emitting black smoke and dropping it into the underground pipeline.”
“…”
“…Xu Huo had almost confird the identity of his colleague, Wan Tingfang, and he began to suspect Director San Yang as well.”
“…”
“A prop was left behind on the street corner.”
“Two props were left behind on the street corner.”
“…An injured player discarded a prop in the ruins…”
“After exchanging a glance with Bai Kou, the person standing on the rooftop, who was suspected to be a Super Player, left.”
“In reality, there were far more than three people alive in the city.
At a distance of two hundred ters from Xu Huo, Qing Cai disguised herself as an advertising girl, hidden on the frozen projection screen.”
“…The black gas brought by players had already contaminated most of the city.
Due to the unique characteristics of Xu Huo’s body, he didn’t notice, nor did he realize that Bai Kou also carried that sa special gas.”
The writing of the Completed Script ca to an end there.
Xu Huo looked at the last line of text, hesitated montarily, then took out a bottle of the King Bacteria Antidote which he had prepared earlier and had the Girl in the Painting deliver it to Bai Kou.
The Girl in the Painting quickly returned, cheerfully reporting that Bai Kou had given her a small prop.
Xu Huo let the Girl in the Painting go play with it, then turned and chose two ore stones from his inventory to place in a box with the Nüwa Stone before storing it in the storage cabin.
As for the main city area, if the air were contaminated, the city residents wouldn’t return in a short ti; the Black Epaulette would likely co back quickly to clean up the city.
Although it was unclear how many mbers of the Holy Sword Society had arrived, the casualties must have been significant.
On the Guile Sound Knights’ side, the departure of a Super Player was essentially the end of it; there was nothing to speak of, and the final outco would have to wait for an announcent from the Zone 011 Governnt.
Xu Huo looked once more at the city that had regained its brightness before returning to his bedroom.
Compared to the bustling main city area, the Ancient City District was as quiet as always, passing through the night uneventfully.
The next morning, Xu Huo first kicked the Girl in the Painting, who was curled up in the corner of the bed, to the ground, “Go sleep in your own room.”
The Girl in the Painting lay sprawled on the ground in the posture she had fallen, swinging her legs and saying, “This bed is softer.”
Xu Huo put on a short-sleeved shirt and got up.
“Tonight you sleep here, we’ll switch.”
“I only take up a small space,” the Girl in the Painting gestured with her hands, looking pitifully at him, “It definitely won’t disturb your sleep, you didn’t even know when I ca in last night.”
Xu Huo gave her a look, “If you don’t want to switch, you can go sleep in the sa room as Bai Kou.”
The Girl in the Painting pouted and got up, sitting on the couch in a huff, “You’re an!”
Xu Huo couldn’t be bothered with her and went straight to the bathroom.
When he ca out, he saw her peeking outside the door again, staring at the Communicator filled with dense text.
“Stop reading all that garbage,” he took away her Communicator, “Go study with Xiao Yuan if you’re free.”
“I can read,” the Girl in the Painting feigned an unsuccessful attempt to mimic, and with a sheepish look, took out another Communicator to ask, “When is Miss Bai leaving?”
This was the first ti Xu Huo had seen her express such subtle dislike for soone.
“You don’t like her?”
“A bit scared,” the Girl in the Painting shrank her shoulders, “Seeing her makes scared.”
Xu Huo watched her for two seconds, growing increasingly human-like, “You’re a prop.”
Everyone in the ancient castle combined might not necessarily have a way to deal with her.
The girl in the painting hung her head and pinched her dress, “But I’m just scared.”
Xu Huo’s eyes turned cold, and he confiscated her second communicator, “Speak properly.”
Tears welled up in the girl in the painting’s eyes as she raised her head, and monts later, she produced a third communicator.
“You’re learning,” Xu Huo said with a smile, and kindly asked, “Still want to buy dresses on a whim?
Still want to buy snacks on a whim?
Still want pocket money?”
The girl in the painting imdiately stopped crying, raised both hands to hand over the communicator to him, and indicated she definitely did not have a fourth one.
The two of them exited the room, and as they were going downstairs, they ran into Bai Kou.
Without waiting for her to speak, the girl in the painting automatically took out an apron from her small bag, put it on, and began to demonstrate her diligence.
“What did you do to her?” Xu Huo asked Bai Kou.
The girl in the painting was very naive, but she also lacked mory, with a tendency to repeat mistakes.
Yet, upon seeing her, the girl beca as docile as a kitten.
Bai Kou was in a rather good mood today, “Because being naughty will get you a beating.”
Xu Huo had previously asked Mr.
Dong, and after Bai Kou ca to the ancient castle, she had not hit the girl in the painting.
However, when she said this, the girl in the painting, who was pretending to be busy cleaning picture fras, visibly shrank back, trying her utmost to minimize her presence.
“You knew each other before,” Xu Huo stated.
Bai Kou smiled, “Curiosity killed the cat.
Guess at your leisure.”
After breakfast, there wasn’t much to do, so Mr.
Dong arranged a table in the back garden, prepared so snacks and tea, and invited Xu Huo and Bai Kou to sit while also taking the opportunity to teach Xiao Yuan sothing new.
Xu Huo inquired about Mr.
Dong’s Static Retrospection.
He had witnessed Static Retrospection once before; it could restore shattered objects to their original form, but it only maintained the shape and couldn’t repair the cracks.
It was more like playing the object back to the very mont it broke.
This differed sowhat from Super Evolution.
One form of Super Evolution concerning property control is to change the characteristics of an object.
From his point of view, it essentially involved a change in the state of the object, focusing on the object itself.
However, according to Bai Kou, this evolutionary aspect was connected to ti.
More candid than last ti the subject ca up, Mr.
Dong said, “Players cannot learn anything from props.”
“Having the ability doesn’t an they understand it.”
Props inherently have special characteristics and can be used without them having to think or ponder, which is different from players without these abilities.
“You could demonstrate it a few more tis; maybe he’ll have an epiphany suddenly,” Bai Kou said indifferently, then quickly tapped her fingertip on a teacup, causing it to shatter.
But it was rely a dense pattern of cracks; the teacup didn’t co apart, and not a drop of tea leaked out.
Bai Kou clapped, while Mr.
Dong said with a straight face, “Miss Kou Kou, please refrain from damaging the castle’s property.”
Bai Kou pretended not to hear and turned to Xu Huo, “See that?”
Sorry, but Xu Huo didn’t see anything.
“Not seeing is normal; it’s closer to a feeling,” Bai Kou said, lifting her hand, and a flower petal that had just fallen from a bloom shot at high speed and embedded itself in the tabletop in front of Xu Huo.
“I can’t change the state of objects, but property control and spatial manipulation are quite similar.”
“Didn’t you see the Ti Ray yesterday?
You can also imagine space as a tangible object, like air that compresses everything inside.
Find this kind of object, learn to control it, and naturally you can move everything within the space.”
“The nearby,” she gently nudged Xu Huo’s teacup, “and the distant.”
A flower tree dozens of ters away was uprooted.
“As long as you study deeply enough, you can control any space.”
