Chapter 670 Kind-hearted Palos!
Now Chu Yang has also successfully enjoyed the benefits of this special meditation method.
Within ten minutes of meditation, Chu Yang noticed that the peculiar sounds and double images in his brain were becoming increasingly faint.
Half an hour later, Chu Yang, having finished his meditation, clenched his fist and waved it fiercely.
"Great! I've finally officially become a true Extraordinary!"
Chu Yang's face was full of excitement.
He began to look down and scan his body, but found nothing different from before.
However, the flexible thinking ability that can be freely mobilized even without using the Pure White Eyes is demonstrating his uniqueness.
After briefly reflecting on problems that were previously extremely perplexing, he found that his comprehension and concentration had improved significantly.
He randomly picked up a book and started memorizing it, and soon he was pleasantly surprised to find that his memory ability had also become much stronger.
Judging from his current overall brainpower, he is at least three times stronger than he was before he drank the potion.
"Next, we'll examine the changes in the Pure White Eyes."
Full of anticipation, Chu Yang took out the small wooden box from his pocket and took out the sapphire.
As his eyes blinked, his pupils turned completely white.
He began to analyze the gemstone in front of him with all his might.
After a full thirty seconds, his pupils returned to their original state as the hole was punched again.
This time, he only felt slightly mentally tired, but he did not feel any signs of fainting.
"This is amazing, absolutely perfect. I could only use both of them for five seconds, but now I can break the thirty-second limit directly."
"Moreover, as long as I don't use the Pure White Eye for an extended period of time, I can use it multiple times without putting too much strain on my mind."
"However, if it is really used to the extreme, it will most likely continue to guide for at least four more hours."
"Hopefully, the duration of Pure White Pain Relief will continue to increase as the potion is absorbed."
"Moreover, the abilities of the Pure White Eyes seem to have been developed even more deeply."
As he pondered, Chu Yang felt his mind become clear, and he casually took out the ancient information he had obtained from the All-Knowing Eye.
"Never mind, let's try one more time when we're at our limit."
Then Chu Yang began to use his Pure White Eyes, and just thirty-five seconds later, his eyes rolled back and he immediately fell into a coma.
"As expected, the limit is only thirty seconds."
"Hopefully, this time the coma will last less."
Soon the entire cabin fell into complete silence.
……
Meanwhile, inside a bar in the chaotic neighborhood.
Miss Hugh was sitting at a table with a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked very anxious, and even kept banging on the table in front of him while speaking.
"I'm also curious why the boss kicked me out but took in that guy named Pushkin instead."
"That guy was just a pretty boy, but somehow he gained the boss's trust within half an hour."
"My boss, Lord Lockak, is a very suspicious person. If it weren't for the fact that his previous actions and habits matched up, I would be wondering if someone had switched my boss with someone else."
Upon hearing this, Miss Xiu's expression shifted slightly, and she thought to herself, "As expected, that guy named Chu Yang guessed right."
……
On the other side, in the courtyard, as the first rays of morning sunlight rose, Chu Yang, lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
He reached into his pocket with practiced ease, pulled out the worn-out pocket watch, checked the time, and couldn't help but sigh, "Just as I guessed, there are still four hours left. It's a pity it can't be shorter."
Although the price of overusing the Pure White Eye was unconsciousness, fortunately, he successfully deciphered a certain extraordinary material of Sequence Eight before he fell into a coma.
"As expected of a Sequence 8 reasoning student, the difficulty of finding extraordinary materials has increased dramatically."
"Of course, the biggest advantage is that I have already deciphered at least one-tenth of that ancient document."
This can be considered a major gain after being unconscious all night.
The most surprising thing was that when he activated his Pure White Eyes and deciphered the ancient document, the digestion speed of the medicine inside his body would also increase.
"This is a pleasant surprise."
Chu Yang's lips curled up slightly.
He was right to choose the path of reading.
"However, the advancement of a reader requires studying and reading all kinds of profound and ancient mysterious materials."
"So accepting the mission from the All-Knowing Eye was a lucky accident."
Chu Yang began to imagine the details about the readers in the story.
He suddenly realized that if readers continued to advance, they would become mystery students, and online there were various professions related to knowledge and mystery.
As his sequence level increases, he can even summon and utilize various monsters from mysterious and forbidden knowledge.
Monsters generated from knowledge are more destructive and stealthy than ordinary people can imagine.
"It seems that if I want to significantly improve my combat power, I must find more hidden knowledge and then slowly decipher it."
"If the opportunity arises, it's best to maintain contact with the All-Seeing Eye, but we shouldn't get too deeply involved with their organization."
Chu Yang secretly began to plan and figure out his next step.
"Furthermore, if I continue at my current pace and manage to find more occult knowledge, I can simply use the Pure White Eyes to slowly recall the hidden secrets, which might even speed up the reader's processing speed."
"If I can fully digest it before the true arrival of the Fool Klein and reach true Sequence Eight, then my plan can be further improved."
As Chu Yang was lost in thought, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard gate.
He was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized that it must be Palos who had arrived.
But when he opened the door, he found no one in front of him. He subconsciously looked across the street and found that the person standing a hundred meters away was Palos.
"Seriously? Are you kidding me? I'm perfectly fine!"
Chu Yang chuckled helplessly.
Palos observed from a distance of 100 meters for nearly five minutes before slowly approaching.
Furthermore, the wary look in his eyes never lessened, much less disappeared.
"I once witnessed someone approaching an unsuspecting person within a meter, attempting to push open the door to the Extraordinary Ones... and then..."
"Then that guy was swallowed whole by the monster."
In the end, Palos's eyes were filled with fear.
Fortunately, he managed to escape in the end.
However, it took him three whole days to finally recover from his painful memories.
Chu Yang's face stiffened, and just as he was about to explain that he was unharmed, the old man quickly handed him a black cloth bag.
"Inside is the revolver you requested, along with a hundred rounds of ammunition."
"Let me give you a piece of advice: bullets are precious, but sometimes it's best not to rely on them too much."
Chu Yang's eyes lit up. He immediately took the black bag, opened it, and saw a revolver gleaming with a dark, eerie light.
There is even a piece of walnut wood in the middle connecting part of the pistol.
Chu Yang held it in his hand, and instantly felt a strong sense of security.
The sight of the gleaming yellow bullets inside the black cloth bag was quite comforting.
Chu Yang loaded a magazine of bullets into the revolver, then carefully inserted it into his left waistband. Finally, he contentedly stored all one hundred bullets close to his body.
He even enthusiastically tried out his quick draw technique a few times in front of Palos.
"I have to say, your gun-drawing skills are absolutely terrible. If you don't want to die before you even draw your gun, you'd better get to the place I told you about as soon as possible."
Palos couldn't help but shake his head and remind him.
"Thank you, Mr. Palos. I look forward to our next deal."
Chu Yang smiled with satisfaction.
"I'll say it again: as long as you can afford it, you can buy almost anything from me."
"Don't forget that I am the all-powerful Palos."
Palos, with his gray hair, flashed a mouthful of bright white teeth before quickly turning and leaving.
He was very satisfied with the deal, as it not only repaid his old friend's kindness but also introduced him to a brand new extraordinary individual.
"Hopefully, this little guy will have good luck."
Palos's back looked particularly ragged, but he sincerely hoped that Chu Yang would have a smooth journey in the future.
Just as he rounded a corner, a man dressed in a gray-black cloth robe followed Palos.
"It seems I won't be needed this time. Your little friend seems quite prudent."
"He certainly has his father's style of doing things."
Hearing this, Palos shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice:
"He's too arrogant. I'm afraid I'll receive bad news from him someday. The world of extraordinary beings is far more complicated than he thinks."
Yesterday, Palos didn't even sleep all night. He even specially contacted an old friend to prepare for Chu Yang's funeral arrangements.
If Chu Yang really becomes a monster, perhaps this guy in the gray-black robe can save his life and turn him back into a real human.
He even paid an extremely long time's favor for this.
"Palos, you're too confident."
The man in the long, black robe suddenly spoke:
"Although I don't know which sequence of Extraordinary this little guy is, he discovered my presence as soon as he entered Sequence Nine."
"Are you serious?"
Palos was starting to lose his composure.
So it's been him since last night. He's been bringing the worry on time.
"Don't underestimate a detective's keen intuition. I just noticed that he had been watching my direction with considerable vigilance."
At this point, the man glanced at his watch and said, "But thankfully it's all over now, and I should go."
"Old friend, let me say one last thing: you'd better not get too entangled in the world of extraordinary people, or you'll eventually get trapped and unable to extricate yourself."
The man's figure immediately vanished from the spot, leaving only a faint, unique scent lingering on the ground and in the air.
"You're trying to persuade me? Aren't you also raising a few ungrateful wretches yourself?"
Palos remained where he was, talking to himself in the air, and finally shook his head helplessly.
Meanwhile, Chu Yang finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief when he returned to his rented room.
He had already noticed the mysterious figure that had been subtly following Palos all along.
It seemed that the guy was just following along without making any extra movements, or even showing any murderous intent.
Otherwise, he would have no choice but to pull the trigger of the revolver immediately.
That's why he loaded the revolver in front of Palos.
Although the outcome after firing the bullet might be even more tragic, it's still better than regretting not fighting back after death.
"Now it seems that the extraordinary beings that Palos summoned may have arrived at the scene merely as a precaution, and without any malicious intent."
"As for helping me, the chances are probably slim."
Chu Yang shook his head, banishing his complicated thoughts to the back of his mind.
Regardless of Palos's initial intentions, a bridge of trust had been built between the two of them to initiate the next deal.
"My pure white eyes haven't activated any special spiritual vision, so why were they able to detect this guy's presence?"
"Could it be that that guy didn't activate the uninstalled version at all? And what kind of Extraordinary being is he anyway?"
There are too many extraordinary beings in the series that can exist in a way that deceives the eyes of ordinary people.
Even he couldn't possibly draw out all the possible sequences in a short time.
"It seems I'll have to find another opportunity to activate the Pure White Eyes and then trace out all of that guy's suspected sequences."
This is one of the prerequisites for Chu Yang's next deal with Palos.
Otherwise, if Palos secretly harbors that superhuman and double-crosses him in the next transaction, wouldn't he suffer a hidden loss, or even lose his life?
"Speaking of which, I wonder how Miss Hugh's investigation is going."
Although the death of this body's father was inextricably linked to the loan shark, Lordak.
But he had never even met the father of this body, let alone had any feelings for him.
So of course he wouldn't go on to seek revenge; he just needed to wait patiently for an opportunity.
Chu Yang habitually went to a coffee shop, had breakfast, and then immediately headed to the subway entrance.
This has been around for at least fifty years.
The facilities inside were already old and dilapidated, comparable in state of disrepair to the subway in the beautiful country I used to live on.
"Luckily I still have a few hundred pounds left, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to bring myself to take this subway."
Chu Yang paid two pounds for a subway ticket directly to his destination. (End of Chapter)
