In fact, He Ao realized something was wrong with "Liu Nan" from the very beginning.
This kind of strangeness does not mean that he has discovered some kind of problem, but that he always feels subconsciously that all this development is too reasonable.
Although he believed in Liu Nan's wisdom, it only took a Rank F non-combatant most of the day to figure out the weaknesses of the lowest C-level octopus Exotic Beast, and he was able to get in and out under their noses with ease.
Although this kind of thing is reasonable, it is inevitably a bit too amazing.
He Ao holds the D-level top, and even if he has the strength to compete with the C-level when it breaks out, there is no guarantee that he can do this.
This is actually the limitation of the monster that transformed into Liu Nan. She can only transform into the person who "should" appear here most.
But He Ao happens to be in Ruins, and the only one who can be considered a friend is Liu Nan, so in fact she has no choice but to become Liu Nan.
If Liu Nan is a D-level Transcendental, He Ao may not be so easily suspicious, but Liu Nan is only Rank F.
However, although he was suspicious, He Ao did not point it out directly.
First, if he guesses wrong, he may hurt Liu Nan. Second, even if he guesses correctly, he has no idea of the strength of this guy who may transform into Liu Nan. Once he turns against him, he cannot guarantee his escape.
So he tested it first and asked about the seasoning, but the other party easily told him the source of the seasoning.
This made him doubt his own judgment.
But he did not give up his doubts. Later "Liu Nan" mentioned that they wanted to act separately, but he did not let "Liu Nan" leave. The reason is very simple.
If the other party has no problem, letting a weak friend who has just saved him face the dangerous wilderness alone is not in line with his principle of being a "good person".
If there is a problem with the other party, then it would be a stupid thing to let a terrifying enemy who has an unknown purpose for you escape from your sight and hide in the dark.
But in order to prevent the other party from retreating in order to advance, this is actually to follow him and to verify the other party's identity.
He then took a short test. He first imagined a transportation tool in his mind, "Assault Beetle", and imagined that with this tool, they could reach the tower on time.
In his fantasy, the setting of this beetle was the D-level recorded in the Research Institute illustrated book, and it was easy to tame.
Then he actually saw the beetle.
But in fact, there is no D-level beetle in Research Institute's illustrated book. The only D-level beetle in Research Institute's illustrated book is the "Merchant Gorilla".
This Beetle proves three things,
First, this "Liu Nan" is not really Liu Nan. The other party's ability should be related to Mind Reading, so when he asked about the seasoning before, the other party could respond accurately and quickly.
Secondly, the opponent's goal is a high tower. If it is not a high tower, there is no need to spend special energy to "find" such a "fast" "transportation tool".
Loach
Thirdly, and most importantly, the other party can "create" such a D-level Exotic Beast at will. Whether she is a real creation or uses an illusion that He Ao cannot detect at all, the strength shown by the other party is far greater than He Ao.
The moment he saw the beetle, He Ao thought for a moment that such a creature really existed in the world.
After making these judgments, He Ao did not immediately fall out. Instead, he emptied his mind and tried not to think about anything. Then as he was on his way, he gradually figured out the effective range of the opponent's Mind Reading technique - a radius of more than three hundred meters with the opponent as the center.
So he often chases Exotic Beast to get out of this distance, but "Liu Nan" is also very sharp, and will almost follow him with his front and rear feet, so He Ao can only use the short time gap between being out of range and being caught up to think.
In the process, he cut off a little bit of the dead octopus's flesh and mixed it with Exotic Beast's flesh when killing other Exotic Beast, trying to attract the B-class octopus leader to follow their footsteps.
It was just an attempt, but he succeeded, and the B-level Big Octopus chased after them while they were having lunch.
In this regard, "Liu Nan" acted by grabbing He Ao tightly and hiding. This action proved that "Liu Nan" was not sure of defeating Big Octopus, so it chose to retreat first.
As for holding on to He Ao, it's not that I'm afraid of asking for help, but that I'm afraid that He Ao will run away.
From that moment on, He Ao roughly understood that the opponent's first target was the tower, and his second target was him.
After that, "Liu Nan" also became wary of He Ao. She should know Big Octopus's habits very well. Without some kind of attraction, Big Octopus wouldn't be able to catch him here.
So when He Ao gives her his back and fights back-to-back with her, he actually sends a signal to her, "I believe in you."
This is a terrifying balance. He Ao advances on the greed of the other party. Judging from the fact that the other party has transformed the "Beetle" without any scruples before, the other party not only has wisdom beyond ordinary Exotic Beast, but is also extremely confident.
She is confident that her abilities are perfect, and she can even create a Exotic Beast that she has never seen before by reading it from He Ao's heart. She has no worries that He Ao can deceive her.
The terrifying balance of He Ao is to ensure that the other party is confident in its own abilities and that its desire for the tower is greater than its desire for He Ao. On this basis, the other party can selectively ignore some of the "transcendences" made by He Ao.
As the journey progressed, He Ao kept trying to control the scale of attracting Big Octopus until he could perfectly control the timing of Big Octopus's appearance.
Finally arriving at the gate of the high tower, He Ao went to dig up the bones of Exotic Beast in order to continue to refine the ability of "Liu Nan" and determine the opponent's purpose.
The time when He Ao finally figured out all the clues was when he saw Central Control Room's closed metal door.
Obviously, the other party's purpose may be something hidden inside Central Control Room, something that attracts He Ao.
In fact, in addition to Central Control Room's things attracting He Ao, "Liu Nan" also has a very slight attraction.
Although this attraction is extremely weak, I can vaguely feel that it is similar to what is inside the tower, and the attraction of Dancer to He Ao that He Ao met before.
So looking at it this way, the purpose of the other party finding him is actually very clear.
In fact, what the other party is asking for is not his life, but his Transcendental power. To be precise, it is the "Talent Sequence 272: Hyper-memory" in his body."
Attraction is mutual. If He Ao can feel attraction in the other person's body, then the other person can also feel attraction in He Ao.
