Chapter 468: Cut Weeds and Roots
Putting on the 'mask', Dean immediately experienced a wonderful feeling.
"How about it?"
"I found that my breath was hidden, and my sense of smell seemed to be affected, well... and the air seemed to be fresher?" Although he was wearing a 'mask', his voice was the same as usual.
"Use your extraordinary ability again to feel it."
"good."
The ethereal form lasts for one second.
"This...can it hide my divine characteristics?!"
In the past, Jock's use of extraordinary abilities would be accompanied by a series of elements related to death such as coldness and decay, but when he used the ethereal form just now, none of these 'accompanying phenomena' appeared.
"Keep trying." A body mirror appeared in the room, and Klaus motioned for Dean to stand over.
Half of his face below the tip of his nose was wrapped in a death smile, and the strange patterns on the mask made Dean look like a grinning humanoid monster with several terrifying big mouths.
The extraordinary ability was activated again, and when Dean saw himself in the mirror, his eyes did not turn green.
After repeating it several times, he discovered the pattern.
Whenever Dean uses his extraordinary powers, a clock-shaped fluorescent pattern will appear on Dean's left eye, while his right eye will appear in the shape of a propeller.
"The smile of death conceals divine characteristics perfectly and completely."
Klaus stood behind him and explained.
"The divine characteristics of extraordinary people can be inferred to a large extent through the changes in their eyes when they use their abilities. Often the reaction of eye color is more convincing than the manifestation of the ability itself."
"Just like we have similar abilities to the guys from the Demon Castle, but they are actually good at different things. If the enemy can tell early on whether they are fighting a 'demon' or a 'shadow', the advantage is self-evident."
"The path of life also has similar green eyes." The old butler further explained, telling Dean the value of this mask.
In fact, Jiao Ke once thought about hiding the eye color. Ordinary eye mirrors will flash blue when used, while the Skyman's ones are blood red.
However, whether it is eyeglasses or other items that can hide eye color in normal times, they will be ineffective when the extraordinary person activates his ability.
"Indeed, this is very beneficial to experienced extraordinary people in combat." Dean nodded in agreement.
"It can also purify the air. Even in a 'poisonous fog', Death Smile has a strong filtering effect."
This is not particularly useful to Jock. Let alone the terrifying immunity of the Crazy Mastiff itself, even the clone genetically bred from the original body is also very resistant to 'pollution'.
"As for the negative effects, I think you have already felt it."
"Well." Dean touched the face covered by the death smile, "From time to time there will be voices talking to me, which is very similar to the whispers when I was promoted. I feel that my sense of smell is not as sensitive as usual, and I occasionally get tinnitus."
"That voice has been telling me to kill you, Mr. Claus. It seems that every time it tells me, the desire to kill in my heart will increase, but I can still suppress it now." Dean knew everything.
"Now that you are already a mid-level transcendent, every subsequent promotion will have extremely high requirements for the 'quality' and 'limit' of divinity."
"Spiritual will is very important to us. I suggest you always wear it and talk nonsense for a long time. It is very beneficial to temper your will."
"I see."
Dean just kept talking to the old butler with a death smile on his face.
"Mr. Claus, were the bodies in the cellar placed because of the 'door'?"
"Well, that's the 'Door Attraction Ceremony'. Through enough deaths, we can have a chance of randomly attracting the appearance of a door. The door in the manor's cellar was only opened after I confirmed that you have become a shadow transcendent.
Decided to call."
"In order to keep the appearing door from disappearing again, I need to keep the energy of the ritual sufficient."
'No wonder those people didn't die at exactly the same time...'
Dean solved another doubt.
"I will teach you this ritual." The old butler knew that he wanted to help Luona find the doll's house as soon as possible.
"Thank you Mr. Claus!"
"You don't need to be so polite. Now the Necromancer..." Klaus's tone was a little lonely, "Maybe we are the only two left..."
...
Infinity Tower;
President's Office;
"President." Klaus closed the door behind him.
He and Estiva were alone in the room.
"Quintina hopes to let Mutu stay with us for a while." Estiva directly told the old housekeeper what she had just discussed with the other party.
"It seems that the situation in the southern continent is not good for the vampires..."
"This woman is very smart. She now knows that we are on the same warship as the new queen of Remont, so she chose to entrust the little prince with us. According to her judgment, it should be second only to the palace in Remont.
"
Klaus knew that Kunstina would never seek help from the palace, so Bulma Group was her only choice now.
"How's it going over there, Dorothy?"
"Vanessa hinted to me that night that none of them would be able to come back. It seems that the dinner party was indeed a trap set by our Queen... First Felix's mutation... Then the palace collapsed... She
It’s really cruel..."
"Now that Vanessa has become a veritable Queen of Remont, the group's business should be undergoing large-scale expansion in the near future, right?"
"That's what I'm worried about now." Estiva looked worried.
"how?"
"On the day of the coronation, Vanessa hinted to me again. It seems that she has destroyed the consciousness backup of Dorothy and the others."
"What?!" Klaus was surprised when he heard this, "How is this possible?!"
"When I first heard the news, I thought it was impossible, but she revealed a few names to me. They were some of the consortium executives who originally sided with Prince Otis. With their status, those people must have a backup of consciousness.
"
"Then I investigated it secretly."
Speaking of this, Estiva also looked at the old housekeeper in disbelief.
"Such a long time has passed, and none of those names have been resurrected... Several companies have even had new people in charge..."
Klaus also fell silent after hearing this.
...
"It seems that Vanessa's strength is far beyond our imagination. There is at least one super AI, CEO, in her team. We must be careful not to be eaten by her inexplicably."
"I have told Nini about this matter. She has always been responsible for our consciousness backup and technological security. Nini has not found any problems for the time being. At the same time, she is also looking for the place where Dorothy stores the consciousness backup.
, to further confirm the authenticity of what Vanessa said."
"There is one more important thing I want to tell you."
Estiva continued, her expression extremely solemn.
