Chapter 55: Combat Element Condensation

“Repairing damage to the Host’s body. Duration is thirty minutes.” This was the voice of the System.

……

“Detected intrusion of nanometer-sized robots in the Host’s body. Activating body defense mechanism. Invasion will be dissolved in ten minutes.” These were the restorative nanobots injected by the physician, but sadly, the System mistook them for intruders.

“The Host’s body has recovered to full status. It is recommended to replenish energy in time.”

Then, Lin Lei’s consciousness returned. He opened his eyes and felt a sudden brightness before him. The overly strong light from outside made him squint involuntarily.

The surrounding environment slowly changed from blurry to clear. Lin Lei found that he was in a spacious room, and a slender figure was moving around inside.

Looking at the back, the figure was very similar to Fuweili, but Lin Lei knew it couldn’t be her, so he quickly shifted his attention and began to observe his own condition.

He was now lying on a soft bed covered with white sheets. He was naked, and electrodes were stuck all over his head, arms, chest, abdomen, and thighs. In the air beside the bed, a holographic image of his body was displayed.

This image reflected all his physical states. His internal organs, blood vessels, bones, and even the condition of his brain were all displayed in a semi-transparent manner.

Lin Lei realized that he had been saved and was safe. He was probably in a medical room now, and that figure busy in the room was obviously his guardian.

Lin Lei, regardless of anything, tore off the electrodes attached to his body and sat up. He knew that his body was now completely healthy.

“Hey, you’re awake. I didn’t expect you to wake up so soon. That’s just as well.” That figure immediately noticed the movement over here and immediately greeted Lin Lei. There was some surprise and some joy in her voice.

As soon as Lin Lei heard this voice, his whole body shook. It was such a familiar voice. Soft and gentle, yet without losing a bright quality, it was almost exactly the same as Fuweili’s.

Lin Lei raised his head in shock, but what he saw was not the woman he loved. Although her face was eighty percent similar to Fuweili, there was something on this face that he least wanted to see!

It was a pair of black double pupils, which harbored Lin Lei’s endless hatred.

“Who are you!” In an instant, the trace of warmth that had just risen in Lin Lei’s heart vanished completely, replaced by endless coldness and hardness. If the other party gave a poor answer, he wouldn’t mind destroying her, even if she looked like Fuweili.

A race with such eyes was forever the mortal enemy of the Earthlings. This hatred could not be resolved; it could only be repaid with blood!

The air in the room seemed to freeze at this moment, becoming incredibly heavy, so heavy that the female physician named Moira could not bear it.

“I… I… am your rescue physician. My name is Moira, and I am… am a member of the Level Six Civilization, the Musen Civilization.” Moira only felt that the man in front of her was the source of all terror. It seemed that in the next moment, he would turn into a beast and tear her apart. She was so scared that she couldn’t even speak clearly.

“You’re lying!” Lin Lei lunged forward suddenly, appearing in front of Moira as if teleporting. He grabbed her neck with one hand and lifted her up.

“I will never forget the eyes of the Layite People. They destroyed my home! They kept us Earthlings like pigs and dogs on a Savage Planet, for people from high-level civilizations to visit, and even conducted inhumane biochemical experiments on us. Do you think that with just one sentence from you, you can erase the racial mark on your body? Ridiculous!”

As he spoke, Lin Lei’s eyes began to redden with blood. In his eyes, everything in the room suddenly changed. All the instruments turned into simple geometric shapes, and even the Layite Person in his hand turned into an image outlined by various curves.

Various things like color and texture that described an object’s attributes all disappeared, and the whole world turned into black and white.

The white in this room represented the amount of energy an object contained and its operating lines. Lin Lei could even see the transport of energy pipes behind the walls, the distribution of blood vessels in the body of the woman he was holding, and that beating heart emitting a mass of rich white light.

“2.7 Standard Energy Level body energy.” A piece of data popped into Lin Lei’s head out of nowhere. This felt completely different from the System’s information stream; it was entirely his own thought.

And the center of Lin Lei’s attention, the Layite Person he was holding, was surrounded by layers of phantoms around her image. Some of these phantoms were rich and clear, while others were ethereal and elusive, and their number was countless.

In the next second, how would she react? Lin Lei suddenly had such a thought.

One second later, the image of the woman struggling on the verge of death in Lin Lei’s hand overlapped with the most rich and clear phantom from before. Subsequently, new, countless phantoms, either dense or faint, derived again.

“System, what happened?”

“The Host has comprehended a high-level skill: Combat Element Condensation.”

“Combat Element Condensation: Selectively collects information about the surrounding environment. The collected information only includes an object’s shape and energy distribution, and uses this to condense and predict the object’s possible future states.”

“Trigger condition: A combat state with highly concentrated mind.”

At this time, Lin Lei found that the light on the human body in front of him began to dim, and the beating speed of the mass of white light representing the heart was also slowing down noticeably.

“She’s going to die!” A thought automatically floated up into Lin Lei’s consciousness again.

Lin Lei’s emotions had calmed down because of this turn of events. He loosened his hand and threw the Layite Person onto the ground as if discarding a garbage bag.

As Lin Lei’s mood eased, the blood color in his eyes also slowly faded away, and the whole room returned to its original appearance.

“Cough! Cough!” Moira fell to the ground, coughing desperately and gasping for air. Just now, she thought she was going to die.

This man named Lin Lei had bloodshot eyes, and the light revealed was ruthless and cold to the extreme. No matter how she struggled, she could not shake that iron-cast arm.

She could feel the hands grabbing her neck tightening slowly. Her neck bones made creaking sounds under the unbearable burden. Just when she thought her neck would be snapped like a branch, he let go without any warning.

Moira, having narrowly escaped death, felt weak all over. Her hands and feet were soft and had no strength. Even though she clearly knew she should stay away from here, she couldn’t do it!

Without looking at the eyes of this Layite woman, she was indeed eighty percent similar to Fuweili. At this moment, on her snow-white slender neck was a purplish-black terrifying handprint, which looked somewhat shocking.

She was coughing loudly, even coughing up blood, which was caused by broken capillaries in her throat and was not serious. However, combined with her pale and delicate face, it was enough to arouse pity in a normal male.

But those double pupils ruined everything. That Lin Lei could spare her life at the last moment was already a great kindness.

“Eyes are black, with a small light-adjusting pupil inside the large pupil. As far as I know, only the Layite People in the Galaxy have such characteristics. And the Musen Star people you mentioned, their characteristics are ice-blue hair and dark blue eyes like Crystal Diamonds. Were you bullying me for being ignorant just now?” On the Aiwei, Fuweili had long taught him this common knowledge.

“Cough… I really have Musen Star citizenship. I didn’t say I was a Musen Star person, but I belong to the Musen Civilization. Cough…” Moira explained while coughing. She had no intention of resisting this man at all.

“Oh, explain clearly.” Lin Lei carefully recalled her words. It seemed she indeed had not said that earlier. It appeared he had been impulsive.

Moira propped herself up on the ground with both hands and stood up with difficulty. She wiped the blood from the corner of her lips with one hand and leaned on an instrument beside her with the other. Her voice became low and hoarse due to the violent coughing.

“My father is a Musen, and my mother is a Layite. I inherited my father’s blue hair and also my mother’s double pupils. I grew up in the Musen Star Region, and my relationship with the Layite People is only these eyes. I’m sorry that they brought you painful memories, and thank you for showing mercy!”

At the end, Moira’s tone became mocking. She had overcome her fear, and her anger rose up. Anyone treated like this would be furious.

But Lin Lei had no intention of apologizing at all. “Yes, you are lucky. You are the second person to survive in my hands. Alright, you go. Don’t let me see you again.” The first person was Yan Siyu, though that was a misunderstanding.

These words, originally extremely barbaric, showed a plain truth when spoken in Lin Lei’s calm tone.

Moira then realized to whom she was speaking. The martial power of this guy in front of her was already strong enough to ignore the entire Galaxy Flight, so how would he care about her dissatisfaction? That her life was spared was indeed very lucky.

But knowing was one thing; the anger in her heart needed to be vented. At worst, she would die. Who was afraid of whom!

“Is this how you treat your savior? I just saved you, and in the blink of an eye, you want my life. Are all Earthlings so ungrateful?”

“Get out! And tell someone to bring me a set of clothes.” Lin Lei was too lazy to argue. He lay directly on the bed, closed his eyes, and said indifferently.

“You… you bastard!” Seeing that Lin Lei was stubborn as a mule, Moira grit her teeth and rushed out of the special observation room angrily.

“Hey, Doctor Moira, are you okay?” As soon as she went out, Moira found the Galaxy Flight’s first mate, Annis, standing outside. He was putting on a fawning smile and greeting her.

“Not bad, my neck isn’t broken!” Moira glared at this Apocalypse Person with a wretched smile on his face, speaking aggressively.

Annis spread his hands and said, “That’s indeed not bad. You really survived! Do you know how many people Lin Lei has killed since he boarded the Galaxy Flight?”

“How many?” Moira was quite curious about this. She only knew that Lin Lei had driven away the pirates, but she didn’t know the specific process.

Annis said, “He killed twenty-three pirates driving Mechas on the Galaxy Flight, all with one hit. In the end, he destroyed a 500-meter-long flagship of the pirates. According to our estimates, there were at least four hundred people on the flagship. In other words, in the ten days since the Galaxy Flight met the Sky Pirates, he has killed an average of more than forty people every day.”

Annis shrugged his shoulders at Moira’s shocked expression and summarized, “So, you really have to thank Lin Lei for his mercy. You know his body Energy Level is 15.8, but you don’t know what that represents!”

“What does it represent?” Moira asked somewhat foolishly.

“It represents that if he just flicks your head lightly with his finger, your beautiful head will explode like it fell from a height of one hundred meters. So, leaving just some bruises on your neck is indeed very lucky. It seems Mr. Lin Lei has always been rational. If I had such powerful strength and had experiences like his, I would execute all the double-pupiled people on the Galaxy Flight to death by a thousand cuts.”

At the end, Annis laughed with a bit of mischievousness.

Moira lost all her anger. She just treated it as a medical accident, a crazy symptom of a patient whose consciousness wasn’t clear. It seemed she would have to stay away from this dangerous man in the future!
