Chapter 188 Wants... a Reward
He hadn't anticipated this development before absorbing the sixth-order crystal core, even though he had only absorbed less than 40% of it.
Absorbing crystal cores across two different classes would likely cause other people to lose control of their powers and die from an overabundance of energy.
However, Lu Yize has lived two lives, and perhaps because he absorbed Jiang Yue's spiritual power before he died in his previous life, his spiritual power is several times that of an ordinary person.
The stronger one's mental strength, the faster one can absorb supernatural abilities. Generally speaking, apart from those with mental abilities, the stronger one's mental strength, the higher one's talent.
Lu Yize's supernatural abilities gradually returned to calm, and the supernatural abilities that had been strongly overflowing outwards were now obediently hidden around him.
As the most perceptive mentalist, Jiang Yue sniffed the lingering scent of supernatural abilities in the air.
She couldn't sense the presence of those superhumans, and even Lu Yize seemed harmless at the moment. However, a strong intuition told her that she was still in danger.
Lu Yize watched Jiang Yue's reaction and saw that she looked wary before he smiled. With his chuckle, the tension that Jiang Yue had been holding in by instinct finally eased.
"Can you detect it?" Lu Yize asked Jiang Yue as he approached her.
Jiang Yue thought for a moment, then shook her head and nodded. She couldn't explain her state after Lu Yize released and then withdrew his superpower.
The previously restless superpowers calmed down, and everything seemed no different from usual. However, Jiang Yue always had an extra sense of danger and felt a strange sense of crisis.
Lu Yize stared at Jiang Yue, his eyes revealing something Jiang Yue couldn't understand. After acquiring this domain, he naturally knew that it was his exclusive territory.
Jiang Yue was able to sense his intentions within his territory, which was probably related to the fact that he had absorbed her crystal core in his previous life and had cleansed her spiritual sea every time in this life.
Of course... we can't rule out the possibility that he subconsciously shares everything in his domain with Jiang Yue.
This is a question that can't be pondered too deeply, or he'll start to think he's head over heels in love with Jiang Yue. Lu Yize looked away. "Once you enter the fourth tier, besides the materialization of your attacks, see if there are any other changes."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue closed her eyes and sensed her supernatural abilities, which she hadn't yet had time to process. Before reaching the fourth level, her attacks were mostly aimed directly at the opponent's mental sea, or she would control other creatures to launch attacks.
But now, after entering the fourth tier, her attacks have materialized, forming external force strikes. However, because it is a mental ability, its attack power is slightly inferior to that of a pure offensive ability.
However, Jiang Yue clearly felt that her ability to explore and attack had become more sophisticated.
Before reaching the fourth level, she could extract people's most fearful memories.
Just like back in the emergency at the hospital, she extracted the most cherished and painful memories buried in the zombie king's mind.
However, because her level was too low at that time, she almost exhausted all her energy in one go.
Moreover, it was just a simple memory retrieval. If the zombie king's memories weren't so heavy, it probably wouldn't have had a significant impact on him.
"I can extract memories, distort memories, and reshape memories."
As she spoke, a hint of anticipation lingered in her voice, her fingertips rubbing her palms together, as if she wanted, wanted... a reward.
Hearing these words and staring at Jiang Yue's sincere gaze, Lu Yize felt a dull thud in his heart. Jiang Yue, at the fourth level, was at the same level as in his previous life and had regained most of her memories.
At least she knows who she is, has human emotions, and even human perception. She regained her sense of pain but was injured with broken legs and arms. She regained her memories but found that he didn't recognize her at all.
She even has the ability to make him remember who she is, and can even fabricate memories to change his attitude towards her.
But this zombie was so stupid that it did nothing, enduring physical pain, mental humiliation, and the need to take care of a useless person like him while being hunted.
Lu Yize recalled his past life, his face contorted in pain. Jiang Yue was truly stupid to the extreme; that's why she died in her past life.
Lu Yize closed his eyes to calm himself down. In the later part of his previous life, he had been thinking about why they couldn't have a better start.
However, the moment that thought appeared, he immediately suppressed it, consumed by hatred.
He hated so much that he couldn't tolerate anything but revenge, not even a disabled zombie who had witnessed all his lows, not even her sincere feelings, and not even his own fear of being questioned.
The events of his past life flashed through Lu Yize's mind like turning the pages of a book. He opened his eyes and stared intently at Jiang Yue, "Use your powers on me and make me experience my most terrifying memories."
Jiang Yue was usually obedient, but when she saw Lu Yize's grim face, she hesitated for a moment. She frowned, unwilling to let Lu Yize get hurt, even if it was just a minor memory trauma.
"Jiang Yue, be good."
Lu Yize emphasized it a second time. Jiang Yue pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then did as he said. Jiang Yue looked at Lu Yize's gray eyes, which invaded his mind and stirred up the fear buried deep in his heart.
Jiang Yue cut off any possibility of prying into Lu Yize's memories. Her intuition told her she shouldn't look, even though she desperately wanted to.
Lu Yize felt a sharp pain in his head, and he also thought about what he hated and feared the most.
Is it the five-year transformation of the laboratory, the beginning of losing self-esteem after a broken leg, or the despair of the coming apocalypse?
The next moment, an image of a disfigured zombie appeared in Lu Yize's mind, blocking his way and revealing a smile that was not exactly handsome.
He knew better than anyone what was going to happen next; his crushed nerves were transmitting excruciating pain.
This scene before him had repeated itself in his mind a thousand times, ten thousand times, each time waking him up in shock.
Her death, hypothermia, decay...
Lu Yize had experienced this countless times in his dreams, unable to find peace of mind. Each time, he would pull the sleeping Jiang Yue into his arms to release the suffocating feeling in his heart. He was still alive, even if he had become a zombie, he was still alive.
Only now has he reluctantly acknowledged the fear in his heart.
Jiang Yue looked at Lu Yize with a puzzled expression. His forehead was covered in sweat, but he remained calm when he opened his eyes and saw her. It was unclear what he had seen.
Lu Yize scanned Jiang Yue's features with his gaze. Her eyes, the eyes that looked at him, overlapped with the smile in his memory. They hadn't changed in either lifetime.
"gone back."
Lu Yize withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at Jiang Yue, and used his supernatural ability to create a vortex for transfer. Jiang Yue thought blankly for a moment, until she saw Lu Yize standing in front of the vortex with his hands empty. It was as if a nerve suddenly clicked in her body, and she actually understood what he meant.
Jiang Yue hesitated before stepping forward and quietly taking Lu Yize's hand. As she felt uneasy, she was enveloped in a pair of hot hands. Her eyes lit up uncontrollably, and she forced a stiff smile.
