Life in North America, you call this an autopsy officer?!-Chapter 442 - 256: The BUG Born Under Talent Fusion_2

Surely, this wasn’t why Brian looked pleased.

He was delighted because he had discovered a BUG.

Previously, he had obtained a "Super Adaptability" talent.

This talent allowed his body to actively adapt to the environment in a passive state and to passively evolve in that direction.

It was a very powerful survival talent.

Unfortunately, Brian had only acquired one-third of the "Super Adaptability" talent’s strength.

Because of this, he had felt somewhat regretful.

Later, the "Body Control" talent fused with the "Super Adaptability" talent, and Brian felt a bit of trepidation.

Because the "Super Adaptability" talent was actually a passive one.

It was difficult for Brian to actively control it.

The key issue was that this talent could cause changes to his appearance.

For instance, if Brian was locked in an iron coffin and thrown into the sea, he might grow gill-like organs to survive in the water as quickly as possible.

At the same time, he might also develop organs that could consume microorganisms in the water to prevent starvation.

In short... all these would passively alter his body structure.

When one-third of the "Super Adaptability" talent fused into "Body Control," it underwent a change.

For example, the gills could transform into skin respiration according to Brian’s will, actively exchanging oxygen with the environment, and the ability to consume microorganisms for survival could be controlled as an internal organ change, rather than an uncontrollable passive alteration.

In other words, the passive talent of Super Adaptability, with only one-third of its full strength, not only became less effective and slower in changes but also gave Brian the ability to actively influence the transformation.

The benefits outweighed the drawbacks.

In conclusion, this passive talent simply made it harder to kill Brian.

His ability to survive had been greatly enhanced.

But previously, he hadn’t made a special effort to do anything.

Mainly because he didn’t have the time or energy.

Now, it was different!

While experimenting with "Self-Deception" just now, Brian discovered that his "Super Adaptability" talent was actively adapting to his super-limit state!!!

...

"Super Adaptability + Self-Deception + Body Control, the fusion of these three talents is terrifying!

That means from now on, I can continuously passively enhance my body’s strength based on my own thoughts.

The longer this passivity lasts, even if I lose the enhancement of the Gift Energy in the future, I will become stronger and more monstrous by the day..."

As long as I live, will I eventually be invincible?

Brian hadn’t expected the fusion of these three talents to create such a major BUG. free𝑤ebnovel.com

So awesome!

Isn’t this just like a real-life version of Saitama’s human body?

Consequently, Brian hurriedly began experimenting.

About an hour later, his face showed both shock and delight.

What shocked him was,

The process consumed too much energy.

According to the information collected by the "Supercomputer Perception" talent,

If he relied solely on his body’s energy to maintain this passive enhancement, then the strength increase per day would be limited, and it might take years to see any real effects.

And this speed was continually slowing down as his body’s strength increased.

Using Gift Energy was not cost-effective by comparison.

Directly using Blood Moon Gift Ability to enhance his body’s strength was many times more efficient than using it to replenish the energy consumed by passive enhancement.

Much more so.

Therefore, this ability was at best a Passive Enhancement Buff, which allowed Brian to maximize the utilization of the food energy ingested into his body to enhance himself, without fear of becoming a waste processing machine.

What delighted him was,

After all, it was an era of significantly increased productivity.

Some food wasn’t worth much; it just took time.

Passive enhancement, although not as quick as direct points addition through Gift Energy, could serve as a daily check-in for guaranteed enhancement.

Over time,

He would become a true Big Boss.

As long as there was no limit to this talent, having a body resistant to nuclear bombs was not a dream.

There was another surprise.

His "Super Adaptability" talent had been enhanced.

Using the stored Gift Energy through "Self-Deception" and combining it with "Super Adaptability," Brian could quickly adapt to the surrounding environment in a very short time under extreme conditions.

And one more surprise,

He could rapidly change features like his hair color, hair shape, iris pigment, and skin tone.

Truly—a male version of Mystique.

Brian was quite fond of this coincidentally acquired ability.

He stood in front of the mirror, constantly changing his eye color, hair color, shape, and even his skin tone...

In the mirror, a new face appeared every second.

Sometimes it was a blond-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian; other times, a blond-haired, blue-eyed African American, and sometimes, a typical mixed-race person with curly black hair...

A transformation could be completed in just one second.

Each transformation consumed about half of Brian’s bodily energy, or 0.5 units of Gift Energy.

Crunchy goodness.

This was so much fun!

After playing for a few minutes and wasting more than twenty units of Gift Energy, Brian suddenly realized what he was doing and felt a pang of distress.

Damn it!

He gave himself a hard slap on the face.

Those Gift units were the accumulation of his blood and sweat!

The next moment,

Supercomputer Perception relayed a Gift: his skin had become slightly more resilient and strong due to the slap he just administered.

Brian: ...

Forget it, today is a day of great joy, let’s not fret over some wasted energy.

Out of boredom.

This time, while absorbing the obsession spiritual body crystal from Sudan, Brian perused the death replay of the other party.

This time was somewhat magical.

Brian actually saw all the memories from three days before the other’s death.

He wordlessly gave himself another slap.

Damn!

Memories of death were so boring.

He hadn’t actively watched them for a long time; he usually just devoured the deceased’s obsession crystal after settling their spirits, to avoid exposing himself to too much darkness and affecting his mood.

And now he just realized this.

This must be one of the changes brought about by the third Transformation of his Blood Moon Ability.

The more Brian thought about it, the more speechless he became, so he slapped himself a few more times.

Consider it training the resilience of his face.

...

The next day.

Humming a tune, Brian arrived at the B6 unit office building to deal with the aftermath of last night’s case.

The massacre created by Sudan was somewhat outrageous.

This case was also quite troublesome to handle.

Next, there were some press conferences, small-town police station arrangements, and post-case proceedings to deal with.

Ivan and those guys weren’t in Los Angeles.

This left a bunch of people running around like headless chickens.

It wasn’t that Brian needed to handle it.

Old Hardenn and the others could take care of these issues just fine. The problem was that the state of Sudan’s corpse was too gruesome. The man was dead, without any proof to the contrary, and the case was closing too quickly, more like it was being dismissed by the police.

This made it difficult for the reporters and victims’ families to accept.

Eventually, it was Brian and Green who went to Sudan’s residence and found a videotape of the crimes he had recorded, barely managing to subdue the chaos.

As to why Brian knew about the videotape, naturally, it was from the death replay.

The three days of death replay coincided with the timeframe when the crimes were committed.

Brian also took the opportunity to learn about Sudan’s situation in the mental hospital.

He began to understand why the other was so obsessed.

The people in the mental hospital, probably having spent too much time with the mentally ill, truly lacked skill and sense, mindlessly bullying a suppressed talent without ever considering possible retaliation.

Brian didn’t like these people.

Subordinates too foolish could easily cause him trouble.

He planned to sell the mental hospital.

...

After busily wrapping everything up, it was already four or five in the afternoon.

Brian hadn’t done anything today other than sort out Sudan’s aftermath, which was more annoying than solving the case itself.

The only gain was probably the gratitude from the small-town sheriff.

Right, he also got Sudan’s file.

The file had almost all of the other person’s information!

Well, well, it was quite interesting. From it, Brian discovered yet another tip of the iceberg that Black Light Biotechnology concealed beneath the water.

He had somewhat underestimated the radical faction of this NW organization in the past.
