Colonial Suit

“Mia's ability?” Blood Eyes was taken aback.

He knew that the Gemini siblings relied on their abilities for survival, and he had seen Bo Xi's 'Severing'. It was a terrifying ability that could use certain mediums to cut up targets, and its power was so great that even the armor of a V-level battlesuit couldn't withstand it.

However, Blood Eyes had never known about Mia's ability. He had always thought that Mia's ability was marksmanship.

“Yes… this is Mia's sister's ability. And it's exclusive… it's called Mia's IOU.”

Mia's IOU?

What a strange name. Looking at Bo Xi's boastful expression, Blood Eyes found it a little funny, but he couldn't really laugh.

“So, what is the effect of this ability?”

“Hehe… IOU… of course, it's borrowing things from others. But what Mia's sister borrows isn't ordinary things, but the other party's ability.” Bo Xi proudly raised his chin. “As long as Mia's sister comes into contact with the other party, she can borrow the other party's ability to use. As long as this ability is not exclusive.”

“Are… are you kidding me?” Jack, who was next to him, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

Borrowing abilities from others, doesn't that mean that as long as there are enough ability users, Mia can change abilities at will? Others work so hard to awaken their abilities. She's good… if she sees someone with a useful ability, she just goes over and 'touches' them. Is there anything more perverted than this? No wonder the two of them are called the Blood-stained Gemini, even their abilities are so strange and perverted.

Bo Xi glanced at Jack, very satisfied with his expression. But he obviously had an even more important explanation. “My sister's ability isn't just about obtaining the other party's ability. Its most powerful aspect… is borrowing. Being borrowed an ability is like being borrowed something, the owner has no right to use it during the borrowing period.”

“Holy crap!” Hearing Bo Xi's almost boastful explanation, Jack couldn't help but swear.

What kind of IOU is this? This is simply outright robbery, okay? Taking someone else's ability and preventing them from using it. Is there any ability more perverted than this? Although this ability is not combat-related, the role it can play is definitely more terrifying than combat-related ones. Think about it, two people are fighting, and one of them suddenly 'touches' the other, and then says to him… hey, lend me your ability. Then that person instantly turns from an ability user into an ordinary person.

Are you kidding me? How can you fight like this?

Blood Eyes next to him also looked surprised. Obviously, Mia's ability was a little beyond his guess. But after a moment's thought, he said, “This ability must have many limitations, right?”

“Wuwuwu… this is the most annoying thing.” Sure enough, Bo Xi's face fell.

“This ability is very strictly limited. First of all, the other party's strength cannot be stronger than us. Then, a person can only borrow once in their lifetime, and only one ability can be borrowed at a time. The borrowing time is not long either. Finally, this ability cannot be exclusive, and we must also know how to use it. The effect of borrowing an ability is one level lower than the original user. It's really not easy to use…”

Oh God… kill me!

Jack had the urge to bang his head against the wall. Such a perverted ability and you say it's not easy to use. Is this called complaining? But looking at your expression, it looks like you're bragging… bastard!

However, Blood Eyes knew the Gemini's personality well, and just smiled at Bo Xi's boasting. But after thinking for a while, he discovered another problem.

“If your lightning is borrowed from Mia, then what about you? Can you also borrow abilities?”

“Me?” Bo Xi cutely pointed to his nose, widening his eyes. “Haha, Blood Eyes brother, you're so funny. Why would I borrow? There's no need at all, don't you know that my sister and I can share abilities?”

“%\u0026%……￥#￥.” Jack rolled his eyes and simply stopped talking.

Even Blood Eyes was speechless for a while. He really couldn't imagine that the Gemini siblings had such abilities. This had exceeded his understanding. You know, if Bo Xi wasn't lying, then it meant that both of them had two abilities, which was already equal to the strength of a genius mercenary. Even Blood Eyes would have a big headache.

But fortunately, the Gemini are not Blood Eyes' enemies, and they won't be in the future…

After clarifying the matter, Blood Eyes no longer made things difficult for the two. Although he still felt incredible about the Gemini's sneak attack on Seer. But from the beginning, he knew that the Gemini's personality was different from ordinary people. This may be related to the cruel training they had experienced since childhood. Moreover, this time, the Gemini completely showed their abilities to him, which was certainly due to the colonial implant, but it was also a sign of unreserved trust. Blood Eyes had to live up to this trust no matter what.

The shuttle advanced in the high altitude and quickly returned to the spaceport. Because the battle was over, the spaceport had also restored order. A large number of armed personnel were patrolling the dock, and they saluted when they saw Blood Eyes get off the shuttle.

Blood Eyes nodded slightly and walked onto the dock.

Captain Harry had been waiting for him here for a long time. As always, he stood with his arms crossed, a large pipe in his mouth, like a statue.

“Kid, you're late. You know? For your word, I waited here for you for more than an hour. Even if the dock was about to collapse, I didn't let Medusa take a step.”

“Thank you.” Blood Eyes thanked sincerely. He knew that Old Harry's words must have been exaggerated, but Blood Eyes remembered the favor of the other party's decision to help him in the most dangerous time.

“Hey, no need to be so polite with me.” Old Harry laughed happily, reaching out and patting Blood Eyes on the shoulder. “How is it, kid? I'm going back in a few days. Have you finished your business? If you're done, I plan to submit a convoy application. I specifically want you to participate…”

“Okay.” Blood Eyes agreed immediately. In fact, his mission was over now, and there was nothing for him to do here. It would be good to go back with Old Harry early.

After exchanging pleasantries with Old Harry, Blood Eyes returned to the hotel. Perhaps because they knew they had caused trouble, the Gemini siblings did not pester him this time, but obediently returned to their rooms.

Blood Eyes closed the door, and the room immediately became quiet.

Standing in front of the French window, he took out the lead box that the bandage merchant had given him. This was a lead box only the size of a palm. But because of the battle with the space pirates, Blood Eyes had not carefully examined it until now.

He solemnly opened the lead box. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

At the bottom of the lead box, a unit was quietly placed. Unlike the units he had seen before, this unit was very small, but very delicate, and the texture on the surface was more complex. It exuded a mysterious aura from the inside out. Thinking of what the bandage merchant had said to him before he left, Blood Eyes felt that this thing must be related to colonial evolution.

“I knew it…” Blood Eyes muttered to himself nervously, reaching out to touch the middle of the unit.

Having absorbed units many times, he was now familiar with the process. Sure enough, as his fingers touched the unit, the core in his body vibrated violently.

Unlike in the past, this time the vibration was more intense and more eager. A desire from the depths of his soul instantly swept through his body, stimulating Blood Eyes so much that he couldn't wait to grab the unit in his palm.

But he still used his strong will to control his body. Little by little, he pressed his finger on the center point of the unit.

“Pa!”

With a soft sound, the unit automatically unfolded… purple-red cellular tissue gushed out, directly pouncing on Blood Eyes.

This was the first time Blood Eyes had absorbed with his own will, rather than being led by the core. But the process was extremely smooth. As a large amount of cellular tissue merged into his body, Blood Eyes' combat uniform melted in an instant. At the same time, stinging sensations like needles came from all parts of his body. Blood Eyes gritted his teeth and endured it, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.

This was a stage that must be passed through during unit fusion, and Blood Eyes was already familiar with it.

The stinging sensation lasted for a full half an hour. During this process, Blood Eyes had been maintaining a clear consciousness, not allowing the core to intervene. Because the pain was too intense, he couldn't even maintain standing later on. The intense pain made him involuntarily groan, shattering the armrest of the recliner.

Finally, the pain receded like a tide. Blood Eyes' whole body was sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

“Sir, what's wrong?” Jack's concerned voice came from outside the door. Presumably, Blood Eyes' moan had alarmed him.

“I'm fine, don't worry.” Blood Eyes replied in a low voice, his voice extremely hoarse.

“Sir!?”

“I'm fine.”

“Yes!” Jack replied suspiciously, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

In the room, Blood Eyes gasped for breath. After a while, he felt the strength return to his body. So he stood up.

“Core.”

“I'm here…”

“How was the absorption this time?”

“The new unit has been synchronized. The nervous system has been connected and is under control.”

“Very good.” Blood Eyes said with satisfaction. He knew that this meant that the unit had become part of the colonial implant. “Tell me what it's for.”

“New database cells. Information about evolution.” The message sent back by the core made Blood Eyes' spirit lift.

“Anything else?”

“New energy separation system. Can separate biological energy and ordinary energy. With this system, the colonial implant can use ordinary energy blocks as power, saving the host's biological resources.”

“Really?” Blood Eyes' eyes lit up immediately. This was the best news. It solved his most troublesome problem right now.

You know, although the colonial implant was powerful, until now, all the energy needed to be extracted from the host. Especially the large intake of food. Even taking over the digestive system's permissions could not solve the problem fundamentally. But according to the core, with this system, the colonial implant could use the energy blocks of the battlesuit, what a huge change this was?

The most crucial thing was that this meant that the colonial implant had more abundant energy reserves, and its continued combat power was greatly improved.

Taking a deep breath, Blood Eyes suppressed the excitement in his heart and decided to directly point to the issue he was most concerned about.

“Then tell me, what does the evolution of the colonial implant… actually need?”
