Haven't I Seen This Ability Somewhere Weird Before?

The transition from reformism to one form of idealism is much simpler than the transition from one form of idealism to another...

This represents a vast chasm between pagan conversion and heretical conversion.

Nine's abilities and identity are quite useful.

Oute opened the terminal and glanced at the eavesdropping results on Lee's end: nothing new, this Lungmen Gintoki is just bragging.

He continued to ponder the question of number nine.

Judging from her experience in the Lungmen Guard Department and her leadership of the New Reunion Movement alongside the Guard, she possesses a certain level of management and organizational skills.

If we can pry this corner over, we'll have another useful paperwork assistant...

Buzz--Buzz!

The terminal rang; it was Warfarin.

"Oute! Is it authentic?" Bloodfiend was initially very loud, but she quickly became furtive. "Does what you said in that email count?"

The email Warfarin mentioned was secretly written this afternoon by Oute, who possessed Kal'tsit and entrusted Warfarin with the task of training the Ursus militia on the deck.

Oute said, "I do need you to help me get a medical check-up."

Those who need currency, give them money; those who need honor, give them medals; those who need ideals, give them ideologies.

What was given to Warfarin was blood.

"I have several technologies that need to be tested, but there's a high probability that Kal'tsit won't agree," Oute said. "Therefore, I can't obtain medical resources from conventional channels on Rhodes Island."

Now, Warfarin became serious. "What technology?"

"To be more precise, it's a feasibility study of two technologies." Oute remained silent, only saying, "For this, I need you to stay up a little later."

Warfarin's expression was strange. "You're not a nightmare."

In Terra, this term refers to a branch of the Kuranta (horse) race.

"If we consider this word as an adjective rather than a noun, then I could actually be," Oute replied.

"Okay, okay... I knew it wouldn't be that simple," Warfarin said helplessly. "So, what time do you want me to go to sleep?"

"After seven o'clock tomorrow morning." Oute glanced at the time.

1096/12/27/21:18:34.

"Are you telling me to eat breakfast before going to sleep?!"

"If you're not confident about your sleep rhythm... feel free to do whatever you want."

"Alright, alright, why do you two always sound the same when you talk?" Warfarin muttered, then disconnected the call.

Besides the Engineering Department and Huang, Oute intentionally arranged for Dobermann and Warfarin to enter Hamlet, with ulterior motives.

Originally, Oute believed that since he had stripped Dobermann of some of his power, it would be best to place Dobermann in the Interstice to show closeness and eliminate potential barriers.

But... Dobermann seems quite happy with this decentralization.

So Oute's actions simply became adding more burden to Dobermann... She was indeed unlikely to refuse. But objectively speaking, it was another blunder by Oute.

As for Warfarin...

Oute wants to experiment with two medical technologies in Hamlet, both of which are related to the Fate Reconstruction.

One experiment involved limb regeneration, with himself as the subject.

Even if such an experiment were to take place in the Interstice, Kal'tsit would still never agree to it.

But Oute realized that if he just wandered around Terra aimlessly, he would eventually have to deal with the problem of losing limbs.

Although Oute vaguely sensed the immense potential of Fate Reconstruction in this area, did he really have to wait until someone lay before him to test it?

Furthermore, Oute was hesitant to use other people for testing: he was human, Homo, the orphaned race of the genus Homo.

He and these "humans" on Terra, who also call themselves human, can't be said to be completely unrelated, but they would need Originium, a super lever that can move Terra, to even come together.

One of the biggest reasons he went through all this trouble was to cover his own tracks.

If things escalate to the point where the Fate Reconstruction works well for beast-eared girls, it won't be very effective at healing humans, and it won't be able to regenerate severed limbs... In practice, wouldn't that be a complete waste of time? And Oute has already proven that ordinary physical injuries from the Interstice won't carry over into reality. Therefore, the only problem with this experiment is the undeniable issue of pain...

Thinking about it this way, Oute felt a little uneasy: deliberately seeking out hardship in order to avoid suffering in the future sounded somewhat foolish.

Chapter 103 I feel like I've seen this ability somewhere before, somewhere strange?

A surge of powerful energy welled up within her, awakening FrostNova.

As her thoughts gradually cleared from the chaos, FrostNova realized almost instantly that she had been summoned back to that small town.

She recognized the ceiling.

She had spent the night in this deserted tavern when she was in Hamlet.

"Awake?" The Sarkaz girl was peeling an apple with her dagger, the slightly greenish peel spiraling gracefully under her skillful knife work.

It's that Sarkaz mercenary leader, W.

"Don't you have anything else to do?" FrostNova sat up from the bed.

"'You' and 'we' might make W uncomfortable," the Sarkaz girl said calmly.

FrostNova suddenly felt a chill: It's that Mind Flayer!

After correcting FrostNova in this way, Oute raised W's right hand, pressing the peel against the blade with her thumb.

She opened her small mouth, and in the candlelight, the mucous membranes of her mouth reflected a captivating color, while the greenish peel of the fruit was wrapped by W's tongue and slowly swallowed into her mouth.

Watching the Sarkaz girl's snow-white neck undulate with each swallow, FrostNova unconsciously licked her lips.

Noticing the white rabbit's behavior, W handed the plump apple to FrostNova, drawing out the sound, "Want to try some? Lungmen apples. Those city foxes and rats certainly know how to enjoy life."

Oh no! After the brain upgrade, W has even learned idioms!

The white rabbit shook its head and said, "I can't taste it."

Then, after some hesitation, she asked, "Who... who are you?"

The Sarkaz girl took a small bite, the juice glistening on her red lips, making them look incredibly alluring. She said, "I am Oute."

W then licked the juice down very roughly, frowning as he said, "Me too! W!"

Seeing the same person so quickly change their style, FrostNova asked, "Don't you... feel uncomfortable?"

W himself seemed a little confused and asked, "What's wrong?"

Most people wouldn't so easily allow others to... play with their bodies like that.

However, saying such things still carries some ambiguity.

FrostNova shook her head and got off the bed.

Why are you so persistent in summoning me?

"I admire you all." W walked slowly to the window, and Oute opened it for FrostNova.

Outside the window, with the official start of the fourth week, the reconstruction of Hamlet was nearly complete.

That place, which should have been a blacksmith's shop, had been occupied by the Engineering Department staff who had begun their endless drawing work there.

Two to five thousand man-hours to redraw a complete set of battleship blueprints... even for Terra Superman, that's a bit excessive.

The good news is that they have a ready-made Rhodes Island to reference; but the bad news is that Oute wants a proper battleship, and Rhodes Island wasn't designed for war, so it can only serve as a reference.

"Us? But didn't you think that... the Reunion Movement has already been controlled by Koschei?"

FrostNova had already sensed what Oute meant by "you".

That is, the "guerrillas" represented by FrostNova and Patriot.

After all, Oute had specifically spoken with the father and daughter... his intentions were quite obvious.

However, after learning that Talulah's strange behavior was actually Koschei's doing, FrostNova no longer wanted to solve the problem by executing Talulah.

Instead, FrostNova wanted to rescue her.

W's base stats were clearly not as high as Masked Rider Shark, created by Aegir Technology, but they were still higher than Oute's own. Using her eyes, it wasn't too difficult for Oute to see through FrostNova's thoughts from her body language and facial expressions.

Oute handed the apple to FrostNova again, saying, "Try it."

The white rabbit was a little confused, but in the end, it accepted the apple that W had taken a bite out of.

A faint frost appeared on the surface where her fingertips touched the peeled apple.

Click.

Elena's eyes widened.

Without realizing it, she took another bite, like a rabbit nibbling on vegetables, one bite after another.

"How did this happen?" she exclaimed in surprise. "I can actually..."

"Strictly speaking, it's not that you can," Oute replied. "It's my sense of taste."

No, this belongs to W. There should be a limit to your habit of taking other people's things for yourself.

The fruit pit fell to the ground.

This shocking fact caused FrostNova to momentarily lose her grip on the apple.

The Sarkaz girl slowly knelt on one knee and picked up the fruit pit.

"If you pay close attention, you should be able to sense it," Oute reminded him. "My power resides within you."

What triggered FrostNova's nerves and roused her was the accessory that Oute had equipped for her.

Establishing a spiritual connection through accessories, and then using that connection to achieve things like micro-management, possession, and mind control – that's precisely Oute's ability.

In fact, the third summoning of FrostNova was also an experiment.

The results were encouraging.

Oute can now stand at the Interstice and pull people from reality.

Before falling asleep, the people he wanted to Hamlet were the entire Engineering Department, Huang, and Dobermann, except for a few night shift workers.
