Chapter 42 Absorption Power

In fact, the physical attack of the blood pupil is not only powerful, but also mysterious. If I hadn't accidentally made the blood pupil statue in advance, the encounter might have been fatal.

I don't have superpowers, nor can I predict the future. Facing unknown abnormal phenomena, making statues is a time-consuming and laborious task.

Jack deduced that if he encountered anomalies again, unless he knew other methods, he would probably need to rely on understanding the characteristics of the anomalies to lock the target, rather than making statues on the spot.

The premise of understanding the characteristics of the anomalies is to at least ensure that you have enough self-protection and even the ability to fight against the anomalies.

He took the blood pupil statue on the workbench in front of him, stared at it, and forced himself to calm down and think seriously.

At present, his understanding of the blood pupil has reached 70%.

In summary, the characteristics of the blood pupil have three main points: first, it belongs to Fiona and mutated after death; second, it can be separated from the original owner's body and exist independently; third, it can invade the eye sockets of other humans or animals, and then control the host.

These speculations were based on contact with the corpse-transformed Fiona, the fight with the mangy dog, and the close-range confrontation with the blood pupil.

As for other unknown characteristics, he racked his brains but couldn't think of them.

However, after contacting the face skin, Jack seemed to have a new revelation.

Staring at the blood pupil statue for about ten minutes, he began to talk to himself: "Blood pupil, in fact, its body does not belong to Fiona, but is an alien."

[Blood pupil, current characteristic understanding degree 85%. ]

A gleam of light flashed in Jack's eyes, and he continued to speculate calmly: "It was not formed because of the resentment after Fiona's death, but lurked in Fiona's body or around her eyes until she died unexpectedly and quickly occupied her body. The purpose of the blood pupil is to constantly find a more perfect host."

[Blood pupil, current characteristic understanding degree 95%. ]

Success, such a high level of understanding is enough to directly absorb the characteristics of the blood pupil.

Jack suppressed his excitement and silently said in his heart: "Absorb the characteristics of the blood pupil."

A line of silver-white text immediately appeared in his mind.

[Blood pupil, the current understanding of the characteristics is 95%, and its characteristics can be absorbed. Do you want to start immediately? ]

[Hint 1: If the understanding of its characteristics reaches more than 90%, there is a higher probability of discovering and absorbing the potential skills of the blood pupil during the absorption process. ]

[Hint 2: The blood pupil has potential skills. ]

"Start immediately."

Jack repeated it quickly.

As he expected, the blood pupil did have potential skills, unlike the previous fake Alen.

The next second, the blood pupil statue in front of him trembled slightly, and a crisp sound sounded in Jack's mind.

At the same time, what he didn't notice was that the fake Alen statue in the distance also trembled slightly.

He kept paying attention to his hands, especially his ten fingers, and saw that the skin of his hands was slightly red like a red-hot iron, and the progress bar of his body strength increased to "mortal body 88%".

Compared with the previous mortal body 52%, it has increased by 36 percentage points!

After absorbing the characteristics of the fake Alen, the characteristics of the blood pupil are stronger, and Jack's physical strength is completely within his expectations.

However, the words appeared in his mind again.

[Obtain potential skills: heterochromatic pupils

Method: active skill

Effect: Open a new horizon

Consumption: mental power consumption depends on the degree of use

Side effects: The right eye may be temporarily blinded, which can be recovered within six hours at most. ]

Looking at the prompt of obtaining potential skills, Jack carefully understood it.

This potential skill is called "heterophoria", which is related to the characteristics of absorbing blood pupils, which means that once it is activated, he should be able to see different visual scenes through the heterochromatic pupil fused with the right eye.

This is an active skill, which means that he can control whether to activate it.

From the opposite analysis, there must be potential skills of "passive skills", but he has not encountered them yet.

As for mental power consumption, when using this potential skill, it will consume an indefinite amount of mental power according to the degree of use. The specific consumption situation needs to be understood after actual use.

The last side effect description is very clear. Using heterochromia may cause temporary blindness in the right eye, but it does not necessarily happen. If it happens, it will last up to six hours.

Perhaps it will recover in less than six hours.

He looked down at his hands again. Now not only his ten fingers, but also his arms and elbows are full of strength.

But his hands did not become thicker, and they still looked normal.

Wanting to test his current strength, Jack took out the ironwood that had five fingerprints last time, held it in one hand, and squeezed it with all his strength.

With a click, the ironwood suddenly broke, instead of denting.

Jack was startled and quickly let go of his hand. He saw that the solid ironwood had been cracked into nine irregular pieces, and he was crushed directly!

This hand of strength is enough to perform a brick insertion with fingers!

Since he began to absorb abnormal characteristics, his body has gradually changed, extending from fingers to forearms.

Now he not only has mental antibodies to resist abnormal mental attacks, but also has improved physical confrontation and strength.

Absorbing the characteristics of the fake Alen and the blood pupils, Jack not only became calmer psychologically when facing anomalies, but also had the confidence to directly confront anomalies.

However, soon, Jack felt something was wrong, and there seemed to be some strange changes in the room.

He looked under the workbench in surprise, but there was nothing. He turned his head and looked at the head of the bed, and everything was normal.

After a pause, the strange feeling became stronger and stronger, and he still felt something was wrong.

He simply left the edge of the bed, stood up, and looked in the direction of the bedroom door. With just this one glance, his whole body trembled violently, and the whole person seemed to be frozen by ice. He stared at the bedroom door in amazement, and even forgot to breathe.

At this moment, because it was daytime, he did not close the bedroom door, but only closed the door and window of the living room.

And behind the half-open bedroom door at this moment, there was a squatting adult!

The man's head was facing the back of the door, and only half of his squatting body could be seen, but it can be seen that he was not hiding intentionally, but squatting there very naturally, without worrying about whether he would be seen.

"When did this... this person... enter the house???"

Jack's heartbeat began to speed up. He hadn't heard any movement before, and he didn't notice that the fake Alen sculpture was vibrating at the same frequency as the blood pupil sculpture.

Who would have known that there was a person squatting behind the bedroom door at this moment? !

After a brief surprise, Jack quickly calmed down and didn't say anything, but clenched his fists. With his current strength, it should be no problem to kill a cow with one punch, and he also had some confidence in facing the crisis.

Since he found this person in the house, he has never looked away, and he took steps and slowly approached the squatting person.

Because it was afternoon, the house was well lit, and he could see clearly even without turning on the lights. As he approached the bedroom door, the surprise in Jack's eyes became stronger and stronger.

The person squatting behind the door has not moved, giving people a feeling of covering one's ears and stealing the bell, and not caring about the end.

From the part of the body exposed by this person, it can be seen that he is wearing dark jeans, sky blue short-sleeved shirts, and squatting behind the door with half of his shoes exposed, which seem to be... slippers!

Jack was shocked and stopped involuntarily. He stopped approaching the other person and looked down at himself.

Sky blue short-sleeved shirt, dark casual jeans, and slippers on his feet...

A pair of identical slippers!
