The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"How could this be?" After listening to Leo's explanation, Javier looked at him in surprise, and quickly thought: "Is it related to this world?"

"It is indeed related to this world, but not all of it." Leo nodded, shook his head again, and looked at Ji Weier thoughtfully, and said, "I am afraid that your world is not the same as the one we are in now." This world is also an abnormal world.”

"Abnormal world?" Through the particularity of the dream world, although Javier can understand the meaning of this new vocabulary in her language, she does not understand the true meaning of this vocabulary at all.

Without waiting for Jillier to ask, Leo took the initiative to explain to Jillier what an abnormal world is.

In fact, before Leo's death, the Earth Federation's research on the abnormal world had just begun, and he didn't know much about it.

According to the explanation of the early Academy of Sciences, if a civilized planet contains forces beyond the four basic forces of the universe, then this civilized planet can be called an abnormal world.

It's just that this kind of explanation is only an early generalized explanation for the public. With the gradual deepening of the Earth Federation's exploration of the universe, especially the emergence of psionic energy, they found that the previous concepts are no longer suitable for the current situation. , so there is a new theory about the interpretation of the abnormal world.

Only planetary civilizations that contain unique, non-universe fundamental forces can be called abnormal worlds, and this explanation has also been recognized by other races and civilizations in the universe, and has become the standard explanation for abnormal worlds.

When Leo was on a mission, he went to an abnormal world. That world was completely different from other planets. From the earth's core to the earth's crust, it was all composed of water. The civilized races bred in this world were born with a kind of life. The force of creation, the power capable of transforming any alien, inanimate object into a unique life form.

For example, a space battleship can become a kind of mechanical life with wisdom after being transformed by the power of this kind of life creation. The transformation of the power can become a meteorite life that has never been seen before.

This kind of power completely violates the common sense of any kind of cosmic power, but it really exists, and this kind of power has never appeared on other planets, so the civilization of the planet with this power is also called an abnormal world.

The unknown power exhibited by Jivie Elle, which even the spirit network cannot perceive, is in line with several characteristics of abnormal world power, and it is precisely because of this that Leo thinks that Jillier comes from a very abnormal world. state of the world.

While explaining the abnormal world to Javier, Leo couldn't help thinking that the weird dream-based world he was in now might also be an abnormal world.

"If this is an abnormal world, then what is the unique power of this world?" At this moment, a question suddenly appeared in Leo's mind, and at the same time as the question appeared, an answer appeared in the sub-brain system. Under his analysis, it was projected into his brain, "The power of nightmare? Could it be that the power of nightmare is the unique power of this world?"

With the emergence of this guess, some bold ideas began to appear in Leo's mind, and he felt that he might have caught some key clues.

At this moment, Jivie El looked at Leo with some puzzlement. Just now Leo explained the concept of the abnormal world to her, but as soon as the words fell, the whole person fell into deep thought as if in a daze. Although she was very curious about what Leo was thinking now, she didn't make a sound to disturb her. Instead, she quietly waited aside, waiting for Leo to recover from his contemplation.

After a while, a surprise smile suddenly appeared on Leo's face, and he patted the table excitedly, and said nonchalantly, "I see, he's not a wizard, so he's not a wizard!" He stepped forward very abruptly and shook Ji Weier's hand, sincerely grateful: "Thank you! Shirley, you have done me a great favor!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ji Weier to ask about the situation, he asked Ji Weier rudely for a piece of herbal medicine for refining swallow potion.

Ji Weier didn't care about Leo's attitude, and handed the only herbal medicine needed for the swallow potion to Leo. After Leo took it, he immediately started refining new swallow medicine on the workbench next to it.

Because of his proficiency, Leo had already refined a new bottle of swallow potion in less than two-thirds of the time.

After the potion was refined, Leo didn't give the bottle of potion that was completely useless to Jivie Elle to transform it into a swallow potion. Instead, he took the bottle containing the potion and shook it, then poured it He took out a little medicine, tasted a little, and showed a happy smile on his face.

Although Jivie Elle was a little confused by Leo's series of inexplicable movements, she was careful to see some clues from Leo's expression after tasting the potion, and asked: "Is this bottle of potion refined successfully?" ?”

Just when the voice of Jillier's inquiry fell, Leo suddenly reached out and picked up a small knife on the table, and directly cut a deep and long wound on his arm under the astonished gaze of Jillier, the blood instantly Emerged from the wound, staining his arm red.

"Are you crazy?" Seeing this situation, Jivie Aier immediately exclaimed, and skillfully took out some bandaging gauze and wound medicine from her herbal medicine bag, and at the same time picked up the swallow potion that had been refined before. , ready to help Leo deal with the wound.

"It doesn't matter!" Leo raised his hand to stop Javier from treating the wound, then picked up the bottle of swallow potion that he had refined just now and had not passed Javier's hands, and swallowed it.

The moment the medicine was swallowed, the wound on Leo's arm immediately stopped bleeding, and some fine granulation sprouted from the cracked flesh, which closed the wound and turned into a scar. What began as a layer of skin covered it eventually turned into a blurry pale white scratch.

"This? This is the high-level swallow potion?" Seeing that Leo's wound healed so quickly after taking the potion, Jivie Elle couldn't help but exclaimed. In her memory, this kind of medicinal effect can only be achieved by a few kinds of high-level healing potions refined by warlock masters, and that kind of potion is extremely precious in her world, and every time it appears, it will be in the place where it appears. Neighboring countries sparked a small war.

"No, it's just an ordinary swallow potion, no different from the potion you taught me," Leo shook his head, picked up a cloth and wiped the blood on his arm, then carefully looked at the healing of the wound, and He explained: "The reason why I have such a good effect is mainly because I have a special constitution that can perfectly exert the effect of the potion, just like the demon hunters in your world."

"No! Didn't you just say that only I can refine the witcher potion in our world?" Ji Weier suddenly frowned again, and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter with your bottle of potion now? "

"It's true that I haven't refined the swallow potion. The potion I refined just now is still a useless concoction." Seeing that Ji Weier had a misunderstanding, Leo explained: "It's just that I was inspired by you. , I found that the world we live in is also an abnormal world, just like your world has a special power, this god dream world also has a unique power, and I just took advantage of this Strength is the only way to turn this bottle of concoction into a real swallow potion."

"The power unique to this world?" Jillier was stunned for a moment, and asked with interest: "Is it the same as the power in my world?"

"It's not the same. Every abnormal world possesses unique special powers. Some powers look the same but are different in essence." Leo analyzed like a scholar: "Although I still don't know what Shirley is. What kind of power does your world have, but judging from your introduction to the origin of the demon hunter, the power in your world is a power that can cause normal things to mutate."

Javier asked with great interest: "Why do you say that?"

"I still remember that you mentioned that the world you lived in was very ordinary at first, but later, because of the phenomenon of the convergence of the celestial spheres, various monsters appeared in the world, and at the same time, wizards, warlocks and other people with supernatural powers followed suit. Appeared." Leo paused for a while, then asked: "No matter what the force that caused these phenomena is, on the whole, these phenomena can be classified into the category of normal things variation, what do you think? Woolen cloth?"

"There is some truth in that, but..." Jivie El didn't fully agree with Leo's statement.

Leo added: "The potion just now is also the best proof. Ordinary potions have also mutated into demon hunter's potions through this power."

This time, Jivie Elle didn't say anything, but fell into deep thought. It is not a good thing for her to have a mysterious and unknown power in her body. Her past experience made her have an instinct for the unknown power in her body exclusion.

Just like Javier didn't bother him just now, Leo also didn't disturb Jervier's thinking. He sat on the chair, looked at the data projected on the retina by the sub-brain system, and sorted out the gains just now.

The reason why he was able to turn that bottle of concoction into swallow potion just now was entirely because he figured out the real usage of the power of nightmare, or a part of the real usage, which is simply a dream come true.

Leo used the method analyzed from that mysterious person to control part of the power of nightmares and inject it into the potion. At the same time, he believed that this bottle of potion was swallow potion, and then this bottle of potion that had no effect turned into a hunting potion. Devil's Swallow Potion.

It's just that the power of nightmares cannot be created out of nothing after all. To achieve the effect of making dreams come true, there must be dreams first. According to the pharmaceutical process of Swallow Potion, a bottle of medicinal juice was refined.

In the process of refining the potion just now, Leo tried more than once to inject the power of nightmare into the potion before the potion was finished, trying to influence the potion, but it still couldn't produce any effect. Until he completed the entire process of refining the medicine and injected the power of nightmare, he easily completed the transformation from the useless medicine juice to the swallow medicine.

It can be seen from this that in order for the power of nightmares to produce the dream come true effect, there must be some procedures and rituals. This is not only reflected in the matter of refining the demon hunter potion, but also The same rule was reflected in the mysterious middle-aged man in the flower shop who also possessed the power of nightmare.

At that time, Leo mistakenly thought that the other party was really performing witchcraft through the scenes of witchcraft and the way the opponent cast spells, so he wanted to master the basic witchcraft of this world.

However, now it seems that the other party may have transformed into real witchcraft through the power of nightmares, but because of the restrictions of the rules of the power of nightmares, there is no difference between him and real wizards in the way of performing witchcraft. Leo's misjudgment was caused.

Before, the words "he is not a wizard" that Leo would suddenly say inexplicably also referred to this mysterious middle-aged man, because he was almost sure that the mysterious middle-aged man used those weapons when fighting him. Witchcraft is actually transformed from the power of nightmares.

At this time, Leo had a lot of associations. He thought that as long as the power of nightmare can be sustained, then any kind of psionic skills including witchcraft can pass through the power of nightmare as long as he knows how to use it completely. When it is displayed, even the psionic skills of those psykers of all levels in the Earth Federation are no exception.

While a lot of interesting ideas emerged in his mind, Leo couldn't help but want to try it out to see if his speculation was correct.

After thinking about it for a while, he had a plan in his mind, and what he had to do was also very simple, which was to directly use the spirit net skill. It's just that this time he didn't use the sub-brain system to activate the existing mental net skills, but randomly picked out a manual of the Earth Federation's spiritual net skills from the sub-brain database, and used the above method to use the spiritual net. All that needs to be done is to replace psionic powers with nightmare powers.

I saw that when Leo performed the spirit net skill completely according to all the application procedures recorded in the manual, the familiar spirit net perception immediately appeared in his brain, and the spirit net penetrated the surrounding walls to perceive The external situation, while inside the house, Jivie El's physical condition is also perceived.

The spirit net skill transformed by the power of nightmare only lasted for about ten seconds before it was automatically revoked, and through the personal data interface, Leo also found that the power of nightmare actually consumed five More than sixteen o'clock.

Not worth it! This was the first thought that came to Leo's mind after he found out that the Nightmare Power consumed fifty-six points.
