Ryuuji Takeda deliberately turned over and adjusted to a sleeping position facing the wall so that his back was facing Machi, and the measures he took were timely because a few seconds after he turned over, Machi woke up, and it also showed a thin line that looked dangerous.
"Damn it, I must be losing it..."
Ryuuji wanted to reach out and rub his slightly aching temples at this time, but at this moment, he didn't dare to move. If Machi suddenly woke up, how could he explain it? So pretending to sleep is the most correct choice now. God knows what kind of ghostly ability this is. After taking off his hands, he even stripped Machi's clothes.
Also, how could the ability to read be so easily unleashed? Is it because the rows of data that appear in your head are caused by ghosts?
At this moment, the pensive Ryuuji hadn't noticed that Machi had not only woken up but was also staring at him. This can't be blamed on him, because as far as common sense is concerned, Machi woke up and found that her clothes were missing. The first reaction must be screaming. Before hearing the scream, Machi should still be asleep.
"Thank goodness Machi wasn't hurt." After thinking about it, Ryuuji was very lucky.
When the transparent sphere took off and flew towards Machi, Ryuuji panicked. If Machi was hurt, he would definitely not be able to forgive himself. Fortunately, he just took off his clothes... just took off the clothes... uh.
Ryuuji shook his head slightly, threw the bad thoughts out of his head, squinted his eyes, and stared at the khaki rough wall, before his eyes flashed the picture of Machi's skinny figure, and suddenly sighed softly in his heart.
Machi has lost ribs. It must be caused by chronic malnutrition. This shows that Machi's usual living conditions are not good, but he took him home as an outsider and gave him half of his daily food.
When Ryuuji thought of this, the overlapping images in his mind slowly separated.
That Machi, who exists in memory, is a member of the Phantom Brigade. He is cold and ruthless, killing people without blinking, and is completely different from the little girl who has been together for a week now.
Time is really a pig-killing knife, and it's just to turn such a kind little girl into a wicked person.
"What did you do?"
The movement of Ryuuji's subconscious shaking her head was noticed by Machi. She calmly jumped out of the hammock, picked up the clothes on the ground, and quickly put them on, and then looked at Ryuuji's back.
It's not normal for a 10-year-old girl to react like this, but if this is Meteor Street, it makes sense.
Machi felt that his clothes, including underwear, had been taken off, but his heart jumped slightly, but he didn't react excessively. He just wondered if he was stripped naked without noticing it.
After all, she knows that her sleep level is not deep, probably in the second stage of sleep level, and has not reached deep sleep. If someone undresses her, she must wake up as soon as possible.
her doubts could not be answered reasonably, so she suspected that they were listed in the same room.
After hearing Machi's words, Ryuuji's body stiffened slightly, decisively pretending to be asleep, without any reaction at all.
Machi raised her brows slightly, and after a moment of silence, she turned on the hammock, closed her eyes, and continued to sleep, without insisting on pursuing the matter.
Her intuition told her that the clothes on her body must have something to do with Ryuuji, but even if she moved the hammock a little bit, she would wake up as soon as possible, let alone take off her clothes.
It's too weird...
Therefore, Machi did not insist on pursuing the matter, and the answer she wanted to know would always be known, as long as Ryuuji was always there.
"It's very risky..." After hearing nothing, Ryuuji breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, Ryuuji condensed the idea of continuing to try his ability to read, and turned to ponder the white smoke font that appeared in his consciousness.
He could not study the special jewel in his hand. He only felt that it was an extraordinary thing. Subconsciously, Ryuuji believed that the white smoke font appeared in his consciousness was probably because of this jewel.
I just absorbed the energy of the jewel like a star-absorbing method, and verified this guess from the side, but I don't know what effect the white smoke font in my consciousness has.
After putting away the jewel carefully, he closed his eyes to calm his emotions and then concentrated.
In the dark field of vision, white smoke-like clear and erratic fonts instantly appeared, and the regular names and data resembled the attribute maps of the characters in the game.
Because Ryuuji has absorbed the energy of the jewel, the activation level of the trait system has directly soared to 3%, and the activation level of other systems has increased from 0% to 0.1%, and the data and body changes are carried out simultaneously.
Ryuuji's understanding of the ability of mind is relatively superficial, and there is no clear signpost as the direction of thinking, so no matter how he thinks, it is of no benefit.
But the changes that took place in a short period of time tonight still gave him a lot of strange ideas. No matter what effect the white smoke font data has, at least the indicators can be set so that he will not go the wrong way.
"There are so many rare and exotic treasures in the Hunter's World, and there may be exotic treasures like jewels. Assuming I can absorb the inherent energy of these exotic treasures, it would be a way to quickly improve my strength."
"There are also various dangerous creatures that can grow in that way. There must be vigorous life energy in my body. If my hands can absorb that life energy..."
"Even if these two assumptions are not true, I can already feel the Ki in my body now, so I have a foundation for cultivation. As long as I practice slowly and down-to-earth, I will definitely become stronger."
"There is another way if you want to be quick, and that is to participate in the hunter test. Once the hunter test is passed, the Hunter Association will arrange for a master to teach the ability."
"But the hunter test is very dangerous, and the possibility of losing one's life is extremely high. I won't try it easily before I'm not sure."
"So, for now, I still need to learn how to manipulate the air first, and I definitely don't agree that my mind can only be used to pick up clothes!"
Ryuuji listed out two hypotheses for rapid increase in strength and also thought of the hunter test. Before the hypothesis was verified, he would not easily participate in the hunter test. Only down-to-earth training is the best choice now.
In the middle of the night, everything is quiet.
Ryuuji abandons the extra thoughts, concentrates, and starts trying to manipulate the faint Ki that overflows from his body.
Perceiving the existence of venting Ki, and turning the spirit into hands to manipulate Ki. This kind of thing has actually been done hundreds of times. This is quite similar to when he was practicing on the earth. At this time, he tries it and he is familiar with it.
The second hand of the clock kept moving, and in less than ten minutes, the air escaping from his body began to remain on Ryuuji's body surface for a small amount. This is the result of the trial.
Such rapid progress, placed in countless thought abilities, is a rare genius.
After the results have been achieved, Ryuuji feels slightly excited, as if a person lost in the jungle has finally found the right direction. Excitement and excitement are inevitable.
Understanding the concept of Nen manipulation, mastering Ren, practicing Ten, and achieving Zetsu.
These are the four fundamental skills for individuals with Nen abilities, and they are the skills that Ryuuji practices, focusing on 'entanglement'.
The life energy in the human body is the Ki, which is slowly lost from every position on the body all the time. It can be considered that this is the loss of lifespan, and the 'entanglement' is to keep the lost Ki on the body.
Therefore, people with high abilities tend to live longer.
As time passes, Ryuuji immerses himself in his practice with the enthusiasm of a child discovering a new toy. His interest in honing his abilities grows stronger, oblivious to the gradual passage of time, until fatigue sets in and he slips into a state of unconsciousness, entering the realm of sleep.
When he is asleep, a thin white smoke appears in the dark and silent consciousness space, as dazzling as light.
The white smoke is like dough being flattened into a sheet, and then twisted and transformed, protruding rows of text from the sheet.
[Coordinates change, start calibration]
[checking…]
[Conditions are met!]
[Host: Low-level creature]
[evaluation: extremely weak]
[Accessibility features are fully open]
[Begin to devour host consciousness]
[...]
[Unable to swallow]
[unknown mistake]
[Failed to control...Failed to control...]
The ever-shifting white smoke font vanishes instantly, as if erased by an unseen hand.
Unaware of the danger he narrowly avoided while asleep, Ryuuji remains in deep slumber, oblivious to the system with autonomous consciousness that has become implanted within him, much like a parasite.
In this manner, Ryuuji inadvertently sidestepped a potential catastrophe during his rest and gained unforeseen benefits. However, he remains ignorant of these developments, lacking system guidance to grasp the newfound auxiliary function. He must solely rely on his own experiences to gradually unravel its mysteries.
Undoubtedly, this shift from uncertainty to clarity brings undisclosed advantages for Ryuuji, serving as his assets in successfully navigating this world.
