I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1429 - 1017: Numbness (Part 2)
A single Proxy Agent’s resources might not be enough, but gathering a dozen would be more than sufficient.
As for the issue of consumption, completing the mission is the most important now; any consumption is secondary.
Stabilizing the parallel space, usurping control over it, and preventing it from being compressed by other overlapping parallel spaces, these are all prerequisites.
However, out of caution, the Proxy Agents staying in the Dusk Cathedral hope they can provide more useful information, striving for the tools created to have an immediate effect.
Although Dusk can modify and add to existing complete items by consuming some merit points, the current issue is not about consuming merit points, but rather the inability to return once they leave!
This is the biggest problem, and with so much intelligence gathered, if the Proxy Agents in Dusk Territory start taking action, they would leave together, not individually.
Their resources are abundant, but they can’t provide each relevant tool to everyone.
"More information?" Seeing the stream of messages in the communication platform, Zheng Yichen refrained from speaking further for the moment.
Previously, the exchanged information was relatively little, and there was even less casual chatting.
No one has it easy, so who has time for idle chat?
But now there’s a new turn of events, and those Proxy Agents who were under great pressure have squeezed out extra time to specifically share new intelligence.
Even if some information is repeated and not very useful, it’s like a summary of rules—big rules naturally come with small rules.
Anything with a bit of utility is useful.
After Zheng Yichen rested for more than ten hours, that sword cultivator Proxy Agent began to take action.
As the sword cultivator Proxy Agent left the safe house, he slightly wrinkled his nose, sensing nothing within the safe house but smelled blood upon leaving.
Although the scent of blood seemed a bit stale due to time, he was certain it was human blood.
After glancing at the seemingly normal appearance of the safe house, he quickly left the place.
After leaving, a female voice over the broadcast informed him that they would be unable to communicate normally beyond this point, but the Unifiers would be watching him, and they had agreed on a gesture signal.
When he needs their help, he can make that gesture signal.
However, their support is limited; preparing such a safe house requires time, and it can’t be present every time they relocate.
For the sword cultivator, that’s enough. As long as the relocation places him in a new environment, that’s better than wandering in the same one as before.
After all, in a single environment, enemies have ample time to prepare. Within the same parallel space, as long as he enters another parallel space, he might encounter landing explosions.
There are countless ambushes like that, and on the communication platform, too many Proxy Agents have suffered miserably from such situations.
Even with experience to deal with it, having the experience doesn’t mean a 100% success rate in coping.
Especially when being pursued by monsters, such situations are practically his replication.
Monsters with countless parallel entities, even if they can’t directly exist within a single parallel space, can replace or overlap attack in an instant.
Double attack multipliers of a few times or a dozen times from others may be considered manageable, but these entities have multipliers going up to several thousand times.
It’s utterly shameless.
So, what action to take next? The sword cultivator Proxy Agent glanced at the distant environment; the place he was in seemed to be a small city, with many pedestrians visible in the distance.
The ability of the natives to recognize Proxy Agents is poor. Even if spotted, those people merely felt puzzled and didn’t have excessive reactions.
But that’s only for ordinary people; before long, some law enforcement personnel approached.
They carried weapons that clashed with the city’s environment, and upon seeing the sword cultivator Proxy Agent, they began to attack.
They didn’t even entertain any idea of communication.
A web of sword energy enveloped him, severing those attacks, and without hesitation, the sword cultivator Proxy Agent retaliated against the local enforcers that appeared.
The materialized Sword Qi killed them on the spot, but these people showed no fear, only bewilderment at their lack of response.
Passersby who witnessed this scene were not panicked; instead, they displayed curiosity like spectators of a show.
They didn’t view this as a terrorist attack, but more as a brand-new ’script’.
This bizarre emotional display made the sword cultivator Proxy Agent frown. This was more than just simple curiosity; it was an abnormal numbness.
The chances of altering this world’s natives are near impossible. Countless parallel entities keep them in an undying and indestructible state.
Moreover, these parallel entities anchor each other, eliminating any potential for madness or other abnormal states, while this anchoring also locks them.
Although these natives are still human, they are simultaneously a unique type of monster. Meanwhile, the sword cultivator Proxy Agent noticed an issue.
He could see high school students, adults, and middle-aged people on the road, but almost no children or elderly.
As someone eagerly took out a weapon, a materialized Sword Qi surrounding the sword cultivator Proxy Agent rapidly darted out, an imperceptible stream of light passing swiftly through them.
When those people hadn’t even reacted, they were struck down on the spot.
Panic still didn’t occur. The corpses of the slain natives remained, but these bodies underwent an abnormal ’reversion’. Soon, they stood up again.
They seemed unsurprised by this situation; only their torn clothes indicated what they had been through.
Clearly, the existence state of these natives differs somewhat from the monsters he had encountered before.
Those monsters disappeared when killed, while normal natives in countless parallel spaces had flesh and blood.
No matter even if they were blasted apart, they wouldn’t truly die. The scattered flesh would reassemble, and even if it was completely obliterated, a version of them would reappear.
The location might vary from before as if a corrupted save file was replaced by a recent save, yet they retained all relevant memories.
Then the sword cultivator Proxy Agent stopped doing this. Whether fully annihilating the enemy or efficiently hitting vital areas, the outcome was the same.
The regeneration time was about the same.
And the full annihilation’s consumption could allow him to precisely kill hundreds.
Since it’s been tested, there’s no need to conduct repetitive, futile tests.
Everything around him gradually changed. The natives in this parallel space gained new weapons.
These weren’t normal weapons. The sword cultivator Proxy Agent had destroyed weapons in the others’ hands, and those abnormal weapons dissipated once destroyed.
Yet certain things left behind debris, like the mobile phones the natives carried.
Objects in this world also had differences between ’entity’ and ’projection’.
Projection wasn’t truly projection; to the sword cultivator Proxy Agent, such things probably resembled mirror images. Though considered parallel entities, they weren’t fully solidified.
Before destruction, there was no distinction between them.
Only after destruction did differences manifest—the mirror images dissipated, while normal parallel entities left corpses or debris.
But only a human’s corpse would persistently regenerate; object debris seemed to require choice for restoration.
And animals and such were likely ordinary native entities.
As the number of ’spectating’ natives increased, the sword cultivator Proxy Agent casually killed a pet belonging to a female college student.
The other party screamed and immediately took out a gun to shoot him.
The pet he killed showed no sign of regeneration or revival.
This marked a distinction as well. He wasn’t sure if non-human animals had special attributes, or if they could retain the parallel entity state.
But as the battle went on, the dead animals indeed didn’t regenerate, either lacking that trait or the world’s ’management’ could disable it.
