[Blood Control] + [Words of All Spirits]

For a moment.

Flesh and bone fragments flew everywhere, and the floor and walls became filthy in an instant.

The next moment.

The snoring fell silent, and even its breathing vanished.

Just as Chu Yunyi had expected.

These Gluttony patients were still carbon-based lifeforms in the end. How could carbon-based lifeforms withstand bullets?

Especially dozens of bullets per second.

Seeing that the Gluttony patient had stopped moving, Chu Yunyi stepped forward and gave it a kick. Its bloated body swayed slightly.

"Who knows how many people it ate."

Chu Yunyi glanced at it, then left.

As soon as he reached the ground floor.

Chu Yunyi caught sight of a police car in the distance.

It was one of the few in town.

During the Heitu Town beheading incident last time, Chu Yunyi had seen that car.

The police car was parked beside the building entrance.

Three officers slowly stepped out. Their expressions were grim, and there were traces of blood splashed across their bodies.

They had probably just taken down a Gluttony patient.

Since the officers had arrived, perhaps the Gluttony patients in town would soon be cleared out.

But.

All the police stations in Heitu Town probably only had thirty bullets in total.

While one bullet per Gluttony patient might work, that was far too idealistic.

Shots to the torso did little damage to these Gluttony patients, since the officers in Heitu Town all carried Type 64 pistols.

Chu Yunyi knew nothing about guns.

But he knew that a few years ago, when a mad bull had gone on a rampage, an officer had fired two shots from a Type 64 pistol into its head and still failed to kill it.

Only after firing three more shots did the mad bull finally collapse.

Seeing those officers, Chu Yunyi immediately went around the side of the building to avoid their sight.

"I need to speed things up."

Chu Yunyi casually found a door, turned the handle, activated his ability, and entered the space known as [Void Gate].

After entering [Void Gate].

Chu Yunyi turned the handle and said, "Take me to where the Gluttony patients are in Heitu Town."

Then.

Whether he could see anything or not, Chu Yunyi opened the door and unleashed a full burst.

The bee swarm appeared once more!

"Bzz~! Bzz~! Bzz~!"

"Bzz~! Bzz~! Bzz~!!"

After firing.

He instantly shut the door, opened it again, and found an entirely new scene.

"Bzz~! Bzz~! Bzz~!"

He seemed to repeat the same action without stopping in the slightest.

Little Bee had dual drum magazines, with over a hundred bullets in total.

In an instant.

Chu Yunyi emptied them all, casually replaced them with two fresh drum magazines, and did the same thing again.

But.

This time, the door handle would not turn.

"Hm?"

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Yunyi seemed to understand something.

"Have I killed all the Gluttony patients in Heitu Town?"

Afterward.

Chu Yunyi did not hesitate any longer and simply lay down in the open space within [Void Gate].

The temperature here was pleasant, seemingly fixed forever at 23°C.

Within minutes, Chu Yunyi drifted into a light nap.

Round Table Dreamscape.

Chu Yunyi's consciousness arrived here.

But the moment he did, Chu Yunyi sensed something different.

Because.

Previously, he had been unable to move the round table even a fraction.

But after killing an unknown number of Gluttony patients, Chu Yunyi seemed able to shake it slightly.

The first target.

Chu Yunyi aimed directly at the black ball.

There was no other reason. Every table had only one black ball. Scarcity meant quality, so it was the first thing Chu Yunyi wanted to get!

But.

No matter how Chu Yunyi tried to move it, the black ball would not budge.

Chu Yunyi immediately gave up and turned to the red ball, but to no avail.

Then came the purple ball and yellow ball. All ended in failure.

"Tch."

"Can I only hit the white balls?"

Chu Yunyi was somewhat dissatisfied. He had gone straight for the black ball, only to find that he could move nothing but the white balls. The disappointment stung.

Still.

He was not an ungrateful person, so he decisively chose a white ball.

It was the white ball representing [Shadow Clone].

An absolutely loyal helper was far more useful than other supportive abilities.

With that thought, Chu Yunyi's consciousness descended and completely enveloped the white ball.

But.

Even with full control, he could not make the white ball move in the slightest.

No.

More accurately, every force was directed against another, leaving the white ball stuck in place.

It was like pushing a cart. One person could move it, but if two people pushed in opposite directions, one forward and one backward, it would not move at all.

As he tried to shake the white ball, Chu Yunyi also discovered that his control over the round table was gradually weakening.

"I need another method."

Chu Yunyi pondered.

The next moment.

All his control over the round table condensed in midair into a cue stick!

"This should be enough to move it, right?"

"Heh, so it really did turn into billiards?"

After laughing twice, Chu Yunyi swung the cue with his consciousness!

Bang!

A light sound rang out as the white ball was instantly struck, rolling across the round table.

Unfortunately.

It hit the edge, rolled off at an angle, and failed to enter a pocket.

"Damn..." Chu Yunyi was a little annoyed.

He immediately struck again, sending the white ball rolling at high speed and neatly into a pocket!

The white ball rolled out from the pocket and became part of Chu Yunyi's consciousness.

Chu Yunyi now possessed that white ball.

As he dragged it along, a stream of information flooded into his mind.

[NO.002: [Shadow Clone]]

[Rank: White]

[Description: You can peel away your shadow, turning it into a physical entity. The entity's shadow can understand simple commands.]

[Note: The physical shadow possesses 50% of your physical attributes.]

[Warning: The physical shadow will disperse after suffering a powerful attack. Once dispersed, it will revert to your ordinary shadow.]

Afterward.

Chu Yunyi cast his consciousness toward the round table again, setting his sights on the other white balls.

After several collisions with the edge of the round table, two more balls went straight into pockets.

Once Chu Yunyi's control over the round table completely disappeared, he had obtained a total of five white billiard balls.

These five white billiard balls corresponded to five new abilities.

They were:

[NO.003: [Blood Control]]

[NO.004: [Eyes See All Directions]]

[NO.005: [Eidetic Memory]]

[NO.006: [Words of All Spirits]]

Perhaps only Blood Control and Words of All Spirits were worth noting.

Blood Control sounded powerful, but it could only affect himself.

Chu Yunyi did not want to cut himself and spray blood around in battle. Leaving aside blood infections and wound infections, he would not be able to endure losing several hundred cc of blood.

The main purpose of taking this ability was to prevent excessive blood loss.

No matter how badly he was injured in future battles, he could instantly stop the bleeding. That was fairly convenient.

Then there was [Words of All Spirits].

This one was quite useful:

[NO.006: [Words of All Spirits]]

[Rank: White]

[Description: You can communicate through consciousness, but it cannot be used on creatures whose 'intelligence + behavioral logic' is below 30.]

[Note: When used on humans, it can create the illusion that both parties understand each other's language.]
