Alive
Although Zheng Li's clothes were dirty and messy, resembling those of a "sharp-haired guy," they were still wearable. However, when Lu Li experimented with witchcraft, Zheng Li twisted and exploded, tearing his clothes to shreds.
"It's a pity, my thinking is still not tight enough and needs to be strengthened again." Lu Li returned to the forest park, looking for kind people, and at the same time began to address his shortcomings. The human brain has limits and limitations in thinking. No matter how fast the human brain processes information in a short period of time, it cannot compare to the processing speed of the Mythical Creature's other system.
"Perhaps I can combine this kind of witchcraft, using the principle of dream acceleration, to transfer my consciousness into a false space constructed by dreams. With my control over time, I can accelerate the flow of time in that space to gain more time for thinking and calculation. As long as my consciousness can hold up, theoretically my thinking time can reach infinity."
Lu Li was conceiving his own time magic when suddenly an inspiration struck him: what is most precious to a person is not their vitality, internal organs, blood, bones, or anything like that, but their consciousness.
Human thinking is not broad enough, so certain factors will always be overlooked. But if one person can't do it, surely more people can? After Extraction all the usable materials through a series of operations, that person's consciousness should have been driven mad, and their insane thinking will completely broaden Lu Li's ideas.
"The mad consciousness sub-brain can be put on the research agenda, but there are still many details to consider." Lu Li thought carefully. Wait a minute, wasn't he thinking about the technique of Time Acceleration? How did he end up in this strange corner?
"Doros's influence on me? Not too serious. Just remember that my main focus should be on studying time!" After realizing something was wrong, Lu Li checked himself and quickly found the source of the problem.
He didn't stay in Doros for very long, but he did stay for a while. In more technical terms, the information emanating from Doros, a dimensional being beyond human comprehension, impacted Lu Li, who was still human at the time. His SAN value was permanently reduced, and his thinking underwent some strange changes. This might be serious for a human, but it wasn't a big deal for Lu Li. It just meant that his future behavior would be a bit bizarre.
"It seems that the power of distortion also has this effect. Driving a person's consciousness insane through torture is too inefficient and difficult to control. We can study the power of distortion to create a fixed distorting impact on the mind. Combined with the main body's research on the protagonist's halo and the intelligence-reducing halo, it seems that we can develop a spell to artificially create mentally ill people with broad thinking."
Realizing that his thoughts had once again gone astray, Lu Li finally began to develop his own thought acceleration method, creating a secondary brain in his brain using dreams as raw materials. With the technical support of Angriel, this was not too difficult.
Then, just as Lu Li's subconscious was about to finish processing, Lu Li finally found his target. Looking at the cautious man, Lu Li sensed a slightly familiar aura. "Isn't this Zheng Li's good brother, Fang Yi?"
"He still hasn't escaped my grasp!" A faint blue flame lit up Lu Li's palm as he accelerated his body. With the Time Acceleration, Lu Li instantly arrived beside Fang Yi.
Lu Li chopped his palm toward Fang Yi's neck, but to Lu Li's surprise, Fang Yi seemed to have sensed him. Although Lu Li was incredibly fast, Fang Yi instinctively crouched down and dodged Lu Li's palm strike.
But then, with incredible speed, Lu Li kicked Fang Yi in the back, causing him to fall forward and collapse to the ground. Lu Li then stepped on Fang Yi's back, intending to knock him unconscious so he could retrieve Fang Yi's tattered clothes.
"My lord, I have no valuables on me. I am willing to join your organization and promise to obey your orders, as long as you don't kill me!" Fang Yi shouted loudly and quickly. He was trembling all over, as if he was extremely scared. There was even a foul smell coming from his crotch, which made Lu Li frown.
Although Lu Li didn't care about certain living conditions, Lu Li shook his head when he saw the pants that reeked of urine. Between wearing pants that someone else had urinated on and not wearing any at all, he chose the latter, since he was the only one who made others feel inferior.
However, Lu Li became somewhat interested in Fang Yi. Based on Lu Li's understanding of the human body, the other party's trembling was half real and half fake, not enough to be so frightened that he wet himself. In other words, he deliberately urinated, probably to make Lu Li dislike him and thus save his life.
"Look at yourself now, so lowly, so worthless, so devoid of dignity, living like a worm. If that's the case, why do you still fight so hard to live!" Lu Li was becoming more and more interested in humans, even though he had been human before, and even though his current body was human. But sometimes the difference between people was greater than the difference between people and pigs.
Some people choose to end their lives because of some setbacks and difficulties, while others will live on and persevere no matter how hard or painful life is. According to previous information, the world only started to experience catastrophe ten years ago, and Fang Yi is probably around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old now. In the normal world ten years ago, he should still be studying.
A place where people are poorly clothed, starving, fraught with danger, degraded in dignity, devoid of self-respect, and devoid of entertainment—a place of such suffering and distortion—would probably drive most high school and college students from the alternate world to suicide very quickly.
"My lord, even so, I still want to live. Please let me live!" Fang Yi cried out. He lay on the ground, clutching the soil and withered leaves. If he could, he would have preferred to die back then. But now, he had to live, no matter how lowly or miserable he was.
"A decent will to survive." Lu Li raised an eyebrow slightly. This person's will to survive was astonishing. With this level of willpower, he could even be immune to mental charm to some extent.
After considering his series of experimental plans, Lu Li realized that willpower was also a very important factor in the experiments and would greatly help Lu Li's experiments. So, the twenty-seven runes of the dead on Lu Li's palm lit up. The power of the dead from the Life-Death Interstice flowed down Lu Li's feet and into Fang Yi's body, where it Aggregation at the other party's heart and formed a small ball.
Fang Yi felt the cool, even icy aura surge into his heart, and then he heard Lu Li's voice. "Can you feel it? From today onwards, you are my experimental subject and assistant. If you try to escape or do anything that displeases me, I will activate the power within your heart and kill it!"
"Now, your first task is to find me a suitable set of clothes!" Lu Li released Fang Yi by loosening his grip on his foot.
