Communicating with the dead, roaming the Age of Gods, bringing the dead back to life.
Indeed, this was a skill the Taishan Knight was rumored to possess.
Zhou Yi imdiately clarified, "I am not."
"Then who are you?"
The mutant child was even more puzzled this ti.
"Chairman of Wasteland Developnt Company, Zhou Yi."
The na left the other party sowhat blank, evidently having never heard of it.
He also said at last, "My na is Li Mo, a mutant."
There was a pause for two seconds.
Zhou Yi took the initiative, "The Tianjin Knight downstairs, the one mutated by your radiation, is there any saving him?"
"I don't know."
Li Mo said, "I warned him, but he still ca closer to . My radiation radius is confined to this floor, already the smallest limit I can control."
Red Kestrel spoke inside his mind, "Zhou, ask him how many Guangna Organs he has."
Zhou Yi repeated it.
"Five."
The child did not intend to hide anything, "They are in my left hand, right hand, brain, heart, and all my bones."
Such extensive organ enhancents made Zhou Yi think of Qian Su, though the young arms dealer had prosthetic limbs.
"It's as I suspected."
Red Kestrel transmitted to Zhou Yi, "Each Guangna Organ extends a trait, what we call skills. His various abilities co from different organs."
Li Mo raised his right hand, a layer of flas appearing on it, "This hand's ability is 'High Temperature,' capable of heating things it touches to very high temperatures, lting steel effortlessly."
He then opened his left hand, its surface covered with frost, "It's 'Low Temperature,' the opposite of high temperature."
The boy also touched his chest, "The ability of the heart is 'Regeneration,' allowing my body to rapidly repair and heal."
"The bones have the 'Reduction' trait, able to disperse and lessen the damage received."
"The most crucial is here."
He pointed to his temple, a self-mocking expression on his face, "The brain is the hardest to modify, but mine was successfully altered without damage or collapse, hence it gained the 'Overclocking' trait."
"'Overclocking' can temporarily mobilize all my enhanced bodies, keeping them in synchronous connection, concentrating all energy into one ability, producing a transformative effect far surpassing previous."
"Even for external radiation, it can be enhanced through overclocking. The enhancer who ca up earlier, I used overclocking to activate his enhanced body to prevent him from rembering my appearance."
Li Mo paused for a second, "But you are completely different from them, my abilities seem to be totally ineffective against you."
Zhou Yi was slightly surprised.
'Overclocking' sounded like a comprehensive skill with an inherent enhancent benefit.
He couldn't help being interested, "Try using 'Overclocking.'"
The boy did not refuse, standing up.
The flas rose from his right hand.
The temperature of the flas gradually increased.
Li Mo's entire hand was engulfed in flas, only the shadowy silhouette of his arm visible within.
"This is regular 'High Temperature.'"
"Then..."
His entire being was wrapped in an invisible air current, the flas winding around his right hand turning cold white. Suddenly, the temperature around surged rapidly, the entire area becoming a rolling heatwave distorting the scene.
"This is super high temperature!"
Li Mo swung a punch at Zhou Yi.
The flas exploded wildly.
Furious white fire swept across the world.
Streets burned, people evaporated, the old street scenes incinerated like photographs in fire, leaving only debris and broken walls.
Li Mo gasped for air, his eyes searching through the thick smoke for his target.
Above his head, Zhou Yi reappeared.
"You look quite spirited, good."
Zhou Yi laughed, "Your skill set is very interesting."
Li Mo looked up, his expression turning extrely grim, "This place is indeed your creation...I'm inside an illusion you crafted..."
"You like to fight, I'll accommodate you."
Zhou Yi snapped his fingers.
The world background music switched to "The chaotic giant star."
Amid Cantonese BGM, two Golden-armored Warriors flew toward Li Mo on the ground.
"Ah ah ah ah damn it, damn it!"
Facing the Golden-armored Warriors, Li Mo could only turn and run.
The Golden-armored Warriors rely waved their batons chanically, electrocuting Li Mo into continuous screams.
Zhou Yi continued observing from the side.
The silent Duke Baili suddenly spoke, "Mutants are usually irrational monsters, with enhanced bodies undergoing severe mutations then inversely controlling the host. However, he looks clear-headed and controllable, which reminds of a rumor."
"A sea lord I deeply respect once said that mutants were discarded bodies once used by the Heavenly People, usually thrown directly into the Dead Sea. A very few mutants retained so consciousness after being used and were tasked to be destroyed by the 'Golden-faced Guards.'"
"These two armored warriors, with golden-masked faces and long beards and tails, capable of flight, are characteristic of the Golden-faced Guards."
Zhou Yi looked at Duke Baili, "What is the relationship between the Heavenly People and the Heavenly Kingdom?"
"The Black Emperor and the Heavenly People co-govern the Heavenly Kingdom."
Duke Baili said without hesitation, "In the laws of the Heavenly Kingdom, assisting and serving the Heavenly People is a duty of the citizens."
"However, the group of Heavenly People is very special; they hardly participate in the daily affairs of the Heavenly Kingdom, and they are more like a group of nobles behind the scenes, enjoying the benefits of the empire… It is said that the Black Emperor was able to establish the Heavenly Kingdom because he had the support of the Heavenly People."
"Heavenly People are different from all existing forms of life; every ti they appear, they use different bodies, and it's hard to confirm which one they really are. But they all have extrely powerful bodies, usually hide their identities, and look for strange items or life forms."
"The Golden-faced Guards are the servants of the Heavenly People, summoned only when necessary."
Zhou Yi stroked his chin.
So that was what the Heavenly People were all about.
Extrely powerful, hiding identities, collecting strange things...
Wait, Qian Su was so obedient to him, could he have mistaken him for a Heavenly Person?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seed.
That being said.
Previously, the Reverse Flow was attacked by three Heavenly People - apparently, to the Heavenly People, Xiao Fu was of great collection value.
Zhou Yi had gradually co to appreciate the power of Circular Flow Technology. Transforming ordinary life into Fire Seed Life, it's like amalgamating the powers of various lives with strategists and warriors ready to be summoned at any mont.
Snapping back to reality, Zhou Yi saw Li Mo had been electrified by the Golden-faced Guards and was twitching on the ground.
He stopped the background music.
Zhou Yi approached the mutant child again, "Do you know about the Flying Star that fell here not long ago?"
The child on the ground lifted his eyelids, his voice intermittent, "So that's what you're here for... It's not with , nor in this building... I don't know where it is."
"You should have said that earlier."
Zhou Yi snapped his fingers.
The world instantly reset.
Li Mo across from him suddenly woke from his stupefied state, taking two steps back, his eyes filled with fear and wariness towards Zhou Yi.
"Let's pretend today didn't happen then, it's better for both of us."
Zhou Yi waved his hand, "Goodbye."
"..."
He turned and left.
Then Li Mo ran after him, "Are you from Star Axis?"
"No."
A hint of disappointnt appeared on his face.
"Then, are you a Skywalker?"
"No."
"That's impossible." The mutant child was certain, "You must be a Skywalker, otherwise I couldn't have been so powerless against you."
"..."
Zhou Yi simply went along with him, "If you say so, then it must be."
"Can I hang out with you?"
Li Mo's eyes cleared, "Whatever you tell to do, I'll do it, as long as you be my boss and protect ."
Zhou Yi was taken aback, "Why?"
He found it strange.
The kid had been all aggressive and rebellious before, but after a beating, he suddenly turned docile and obedient.
Was corporal punishnt really effective?
"I can't stay here forever."
Li Mo admitted with a troubled expression, "Though this is a good place, and the Alien is good, more and more people are finding out about here, coming up to the 13th floor, and it's hard for to hide my identity."
"You've read my mories, you should know, I escaped from the Heavenly People... They will find this place eventually and deal with for good."
"I have to find a new place to hide. I want to continue living, not be dragged back and have needles stuck in my head until my brain stops working..."
"I know about the Flying Star."
Zhou Yi frowned, "You just said you didn't know the Flying Star."
This kid wasn't honest.
Impression score, minus one.
"That's not what I ant."
Li Mo struggled to explain, "I really don't know about that Flying Star you ntioned, but there were other Flying Stars earlier, at least two more, and I know where they are."
Zhou Yi was shocked.
Three Flying Stars fell in this place?
What situation is this, satellites falling here?
Joy Valley talked about falling luminous objects, they were actually Flying Stars.
He pondered for a while.
It might be troubleso for soone else to take Li Mo along, but for Zhou Yi it was simple.
Even without a proper arrangent, he could just transform him into Fire Seed Life and imprint it on his shoulder.
Zhou Yi nodded, "Okay."
Li Mo's eyes suddenly sparkled, quickly changing his address, "Boss!"
