Chapter 120: The Illusion of Time Fireflies

At about 11 o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ying received an address. She said hello to Zhao Yuxi and said, "I'm leaving."

Zhao Yuxi said: "Good luck to you. If anything happens, remember to call an ambulance."

She watched Xu Yingze go away, then sent a message to her assistant: "Send Zhou Chuanxue's file to Xu Yingze."

Zhou Chuanxue is a mental patient. When Xu Yingze saw the words "mental patient" in the file, she felt hesitant and shaken.

She hesitated because she had never thought about the situation of such people. If the characteristics of the asymptote are really as her classmates said, the stronger the desire, the lower the asymptote, then these mentally ill people who are obviously different from ordinary people must have a much better asymptote than ordinary people. The twisted will and fragmented thinking of these people will fuel their ambitions and arrogance in the form of domain radius, which is too terrible.

She was still wavering because she couldn't see through Dean Zhao's intention: The detailed information you sent me must not have been obtained today. It is unknown how long you have kept this information, but one thing is almost certain, that is, before today's tragedy happened, you already had information about Zhou Chuanxue. Think boldly, did you cause today's tragedy? Why? Do you want me to advance by stepping on the corpses of these people? This way of advancement is simple, but...

In the more than ten years before the advent of "darkness", Zhou Chuanxue could see all kinds of bacteria without the help of any tools, just with his naked eyes.

When the doctors saw the bacteria he drew, they were so shocked that they were speechless.

It is incredible that a person who has never learned to paint and has never observed bacteria with the help of a microscope can actually draw bacteria of various shapes and lifelike forms. It is not so much that he saw the bacteria, but rather that the bacteria used his eyes and his hands to show the spirit and appearance of microorganisms to the world.

Later, he was sent to a mental hospital.

Some color pictures were inserted into the archives, which were Zhou Chuanxue's own drawings.

Xu Ying had never observed the morphology of bacteria in person. Her impression and understanding of bacteria were limited to biology textbooks and popular science videos. When she saw those colorful pictures, her first reaction was that the bacteria in the pictures were alive. Secondly, these bacteria had emotions.

This inexplicable feeling made her shudder. She hated such paintings and abilities from the bottom of her heart. Moreover, this ability was not given by "darkness", but was originally possessed by that person. There really are people with superpowers in the world! Is this person's asymptote also related to bacteria?

Xu Ying continued to read on and had a basic understanding of his asymptote: expand the asymptotic domain, synthesize an inanimate material structure in the domain, and this structure can decompose bacteria in the human body. The decomposition effect is affected by the domain radius. The larger the domain radius of the decomposed object, the worse the decomposition effect.

She felt a little horrified: because she saw bacteria, she was admitted to a mental hospital. Because she hated bacteria, she got an asymptote that could decompose bacteria. These things seemed reasonable and natural, but what if the order of these two things was reversed?

Xu Ying put aside her curiosity for the moment. She should focus on the mission at this moment. She already knew the enemy's capabilities. All she had to do was face the enemy and defeat him.

In Qingzhu Park, Zhou Chuanxue was planning his escape route. Before he could flee to his next destination, he was stopped by someone.

Xu Ying put the shrunken windmill into her pocket.

Domain blessing, countdown, accelerated timing.

"Outside the arena, my victory poem has finally begun to be written. Time flies."

From this moment on, it becomes even more difficult for the world to recognize the true face of “operating power”.

Xu Ying raised her right hand high, and the outline of the hourglass in her hand emitted a red light. The height of the light beam was equal to the radius of the domain.

In the distance, Zhao Yuxi opened her asymptotic domain and scanned the beam of light. She suddenly discovered that the red light carried some traces of the flow of past events. Could it be that this light was really "time"? This guess was inconsistent with common sense, and she did not dare to jump to conclusions. She decided to find a time to ask the King of Dongting Lake to see the strength of this person's asymptotic line.

Since the asymptote, Zhou Chuanxue has been able to get six hours of "freedom" every day. During these six hours, he will no longer see all kinds of bacteria. During this precious time, he can eat, drink, sleep, and chat like ordinary people... Such freedom is not easy to come by. He does not want to be punished and dealt with by the institute at the end of his life. As soon as the red light appeared, he made up his mind to go all out and escape.

His asymptote was running at maximum power, and all kinds of material structures were frantically harassing the enemy. Originally, this domain would also harm his own side, but for some reason, he had absolute resistance to the structure.

The beam of light spread out into a hemispherical shape, covering the earth, and then quickly shrank and converged at the apex of the hourglass outline.

The moving force of the air is transformed into driving force, driving her to move, driving the enemy to stop moving, and driving the structure to decompose.

Xu Ying held the outline of her hand in reverse and flashed in front of the culprit.

Run to clear, run to mark, no language is needed, what you think in your mind will become a reality.

Zhou Chuanxue fell to the ground, motionless.

Xu Ying raised the outline of the hourglass, and a stream of light emanated, completely clearing all structures.

At this time, Zhao Yuxi "just happened" to arrive: "You can instantly kill an Ancient One whose domain radius is larger than yours, how amazing!"

Xu Ying asked her: "How do we deal with this person?"

Zhao Yuxi jokingly expressed her true thoughts: "Kill him and bury him on the spot?"

"Will you do it or should I do it?"

"It's all fine." This is also Zhao Yuxi's true thought.

Xu Ying stopped her: "No, none of them. Send him to prison first."

Zhao Yuxi was stunned when she heard this: "Then what?"

"Then...then...let's think about the future later. Send him to jail first."

Zhao Yuxi re-evaluated Xu Yingze's performance and attitude: Are you so opposed to changing your life form? This is not right. There are no pure "civilian staff" in the institute. Everyone will go to the battlefield at any time. Once on the battlefield, how can we not change our life form? But since this is your bottom line, I will try my best not to go against your wishes.

"You are too kind. Don't worry, he won't die for a while. We can send him to the Academy of Sciences and let him contribute to the cause of science."

Xu Ying said bluntly: "It sounds more painful than death."

"That's not necessarily the case. It'll just make life more restrained. Aren't you curious about the Academy of Sciences? Do you want to come with me to the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences?"

"An institution corresponding to the research institute? Where is its headquarters?"

The stationmaster has no right to know where the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences is. However, the person who holds the "power" is Zhao Yuxi, so this is another matter. She said, "It's also in Youlong City. Do you want to go? Travel expenses, food expenses, and accommodation expenses are all free."
