Armor: I'm in Nava, but I'm Oxer?

His purple eyes flickered.

The rays were unleashed, cutting away the ice surrounding Duanmu Gushang.

He fainted.

The night was already deep.

Zhang Zhao randomly picked a place.

A bonfire was lit.

To help Duanmu Gushang restore his body temperature.

Duanmu Gu was not injured. Zhang Zhao's ice had put his body into a state similar to "hibernation".

The bonfire is burning.

The surrounding temperature began to rise.

Take advantage of this moment.

He reviewed the battle that had just taken place and felt that he hadn't been decisive enough. He had known early on that Duanmu Gu Shang might be possessed by Lambda, but instead he had been playing around with him and teasing him.

After he transformed.

I should have used my one-time capture king card to take him down immediately.

Although the King Captor Armor might not be very strong, Zhang Zhao felt that taking down a Lambda without the Ultimate Tyrant Worm wouldn't be difficult.

He chose the method of Oxxer fighting Oxxer.

It was very difficult, Zhang Zhao could only say.

Normally, a petrification spell, a punch, or a kick would be enough to kill Oxer.

But it turned into hand-to-hand combat.

The risks have been magnified considerably.

This also makes Lambda's health bar appear exceptionally thick.

Could this be related to the millennium-old zombie virus that just devoured the god general Oukser?

So actually, I appear to be very clear-headed on the surface.

Are you actually itching to do it and need to vent?

Was the final outcome good?

Zhang Zhao began to play with the jade pendant in his hand.

It was crystal clear, indistinguishable from any other jade pendant, given Zhang Zhao's sensitivity to Oxser.

He still couldn't feel it.

If he wasn't mistaken, Fu Ai was still inside the jade pendant.

Take her out, then eat her...

This was the first thought that crossed his mind.

He hasn't reverted to his transformation yet.

Therefore, this murderous intent overflowed.

This time, Zhang Zhao finally realized it.

The jade pendant began to glow with a greenish hue.

As fellow human beings.

He sensed a will coming from him, one that demanded submission and begging for mercy.

Kill him?

Zhang Zhao felt he had no reason to let Oukeser go.

Even if he came from a thousand years ago.

An even stronger plea for mercy followed.

“I…can…be…your…family…”

It may be due to the influence of a strong will to survive.

This time, the jade pendant did not convey a vague message.

It was a sentence that came out in fits and starts.

?

Although it is in Chinese.

But why can't I understand it?

"Why shouldn't I kill you?"

Zhang Zhao offered no explanation, but continued to unleash his killing intent.

The energy within the jade pendant seemed to be spinning rapidly.

Keep flashing.

It seems they're trying to convey some message.

But Zhang Zhao only received a jumble of gibberish...

Zhang Zhao fiddled with the jade pendant in his hand.

It looked as if it was about to break the jade pendant to pieces and devour its contents at any moment.

at this time.

Suddenly, something stirred inside Zhang Zhao's body.

His spine felt slightly warm.

Another message came in.

This seems to be the first time this thing has sent a message. After absorbing so much, it now has enough energy to communicate.

Stay put and behave!

Otherwise, you'll be the next one to be eliminated.

Zhang Zhao also gave a seemingly professional reply.

I'm already honest, please let me go!

Zhang Zhao processed the information that was being transmitted to him.

"Share some of the virus from your own body and assimilate the viruses present in your relatives..."

The death of a family member can be decided at any time...

The growth of the retinue can also provide feedback to the 'King'.

An Ox can only follow one 'king' in their lifetime.

"After the king's death, his family and relatives were also instantly annihilated..."

The above is the main information extracted by Zhang Zhao.

There's a lot of information there.

Due to the presence of the vampire insect.

Oxel is a being that needs to constantly kill each other to determine the 'king'.

If a person becomes a servant of another Oxus and wants to survive for a long time, the one he follows must become the king of the entire tribe.

Otherwise, although the Oxus possesses a long lifespan...

However, this continuous process of elimination continues.

One day, everyone will die...

Therefore, making up one's mind to become a couple is not an easy thing.

"That seems like a good idea..."

first timing.

This idea came to Zhang Zhao's mind.

Followed by.

In an instant, he dismissed the idea.

In this way, he becomes more and more closely bound to Oxel.

He can't really become a so-called "king".

Will there ever be a day when the virus is eradicated?

"This is your power, you can completely control it. You don't actually want to eliminate the virus this way, right? You crave power, but this power isn't necessarily evil..."

…………

Although he didn't immediately turn Fu Ai into his familiar, he abandoned the idea of ​​killing her.

"Keep it, you never know when it might come in handy..."

Zhang Zhao thought to himself.

………………

Zhang Zhao spent a considerable amount of time reviewing and examining the jade pendant.

Duanmu Gushang's body temperature was aided by the campfire.

It has returned to normal.

"Ah!"

Duanmu Gu Shang is now breathing normally.

Soon.

He finally woke up completely.

“欧克瑟！”

Duanmu Gushang spotted Zhang Zhao immediately and quickly took a big step back.

Ready to start.

But from that similar appearance...

He deduced that it was Zhang Zhao.

He then lowered his guard, took a few steps back, and approached Zhang Zhao and the campfire.

"Why am I here?"

Why did I lose a piece of my memory?

What's going on with that giant centipede?

As soon as Duanmu Gu Shang was released from the state of emergency, a series of problems arose.

Zhang Zhao was a little taken aback by the question.

"Think back, at the entrance of the ancient tomb, I heard a strange call. After sending you a message, I chose to enter alone. After finding a jade pendant, I have no memory of it... That's all I remember."

Duanmu Gushang held his chin.

Start thinking.

Zhang Zhao was not given a single chance to speak.

He continued to reason.

"People don't lose their memories for no reason. Was it brain damage? I didn't have any obvious head injuries, and I wasn't falling or crashing from the place I was in. There was no one around me hitting my head."

I do not have Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or other similar illnesses.

I did not have a stroke.

I did not smell alcohol or other drugs, so I did not have amnesia due to alcohol poisoning.

I don't……

I don't……"

Duanmu Gushang continued to investigate each possibility one by one.

His mouth chattered incessantly, like a machine gun.

Ultimately, he arrived at his final conclusion.

"Have I become an Ogre...?"

"After eliminating all the impossible, whatever remains, however incredible, is the truth."

These are the words of Duanmu Gushang's idol, Sherlock Holmes, or rather, Arthur Conan Doyle.

Duanmu Gu Shang has always regarded it as a guiding principle.

Now, however unacceptable it may be.

There's only one possible outcome.

Even though he knew that people without the criminal gene would have a very low chance of contracting the Oxus virus without contact...

Zhang Zhao applauded at this moment.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a curious father who also works as a part-time detective.

That's brilliant reasoning.

"So, you're the one who beat me to a pulp?"

Then I remembered Zhang Zhao not having deactivated his transformation earlier.

Duanmu Gu Shangyi changed the subject.

I asked Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao: "…………"

Did I beat you to a pulp?

That sounds so strange.

How could you say that so calmly?

We're not playing a MOBA game, we're laning here! This is mid lane!

Duanmu Gu Shang certainly didn't mean to blame him; in fact, he wanted to thank Zhang Zhao...

"Your reasoning is reasonable, but because some things have come up that are beyond your understanding, your reasoning can only be said to be not entirely correct..."

"is it?"

"But don't be too sad, everyone makes mistakes in reasoning."

Upon seeing Duanmu Gushang, he was deep in thought.

Zhang Zhao wondered if he had suffered some kind of blow.

"No, I'm glad. My reasoning hasn't been wrong for a long time. I'm glad."

Duanmu Gu Shang gave his answer.

Zhang Zhao: "..."

My native language is speechless. Yes, I don't care about you enough.

So you're not confused either, right?

Zhang Zhao then told Duanmu Gushang the whole story.

"I see."

With a single sentence from Duanmu Gushang.

Zhang Zhao finally finished his explanation.

"I'm sorry, it was my problem."

After hearing this, Duanmu Gushang apologized first.

“It was my immature behavior that put you in such danger and put you in such a perilous situation. I have failed as a qualified detective.”

An excessive desire to explore can bring endless trouble.

Duanmu Gushang kept apologizing.

Right.

All Zhang Zhao could say was...

If Lambda were that polite.

How could Zhang Zhao possibly suspect anything at first glance?

Well, Duanmu Gu Shang now is incredibly authentic!

How did you find this place?

Zhang Zhao asked.

"I know a little bit about geomancy... During my investigation of the Fifth Element, the clues led to Yitai Village, a small, dilapidated village. But this small village has a 'spirit' that many ancient county towns don't have."

I saw many ancient tombs in some records.

He recorded many natural phenomena and wonders.

Landslides, earthquakes, sea overflows, waterspouts, earth dragons turning over, and so on... Most importantly, I saw records of heavenly drums and heavenly laughter.

These terms, when translated, are volcanic eruption, tsunami, tornado, and earthquake.

The Heavenly Drum and Heavenly Laughter are like lightning and thunder…

"I found the place through some records. There are still several places I haven't been to yet..."

Zhang Zhao said in astonishment.

How Duanmu Gushang obtained the Thunder Stone remains a mystery.

Etai Village.

This is the place where Zhang Zhao had doubts after watching the TV series, since he planned to live in seclusion here before entering the TV series.

Duanmu Gushang's professionalism truly broadened his horizons.
