337: suicide
"What?!"
Chen Du exclaimed in surprise.
There was only one possible explanation for the current situation: their gazes had met!
Chen Du didn't fully understand what an Energy Lifeform was; he only knew a few things from previous encounters. For example, they didn't have what humans would call eyes on their faces, but their entire bodies were made of invisible eyes.
And these invisible eyes couldn't close, which meant they were forced to see everything within a 360-degree radius without blind spots.
This state was similar to when Chen Du was possessed; he could clearly perceive everything around him.
That feeling was very mysterious; there was no concept of 'where to look.' It was like cheating, with several perspectives that could be viewed simultaneously.
Visually speaking, at the moment of Possession, Chen Du had, to some extent, experienced the vision of an Energy Lifeform.
"Brat, you really won't give up!"
Cao Daba's voice, like telepathy, emanated from the water droplet.
This also meant Chen Du's previous guess was wrong; the other party's consciousness had not been erased.
However, the other party had indeed lost some connection with the Six-Eyed Giant earlier.
It seemed he simply didn't understand Energy Lifeforms well enough; they had mechanisms he was unaware of.
"I thought you were dead."
Chen Du said calmly. This was his home turf, so he wasn't flustered.
Aside from the initial Possession, Cao Daba hadn't launched any other attacks against him.
He didn't know if it was because he couldn't or if he deemed it pointless.
"You're dead, your whole family is dead!"
"We, the great Energy Lifeforms, cannot die!"
"Energy only transfers; it never disappears!"
Chen Du heard this sentence again and frowned slightly. His intuition told him that this statement seemed to conceal some potential information.
"How about this: you answer three questions for me."
"Afterward, until the Seal ends, I won't come back here. Then you can possess whoever you want."
Chen Du had a premonition that Cao Daba had methods to cope with the Six-Eyed Giant's mental torment, so he lowered his demands.
He wanted to see if there was a chance to extract some information. After all, most people, upon hearing 'three questions,' would at least listen to what the questions were first.
"Heh."
"You want to get information from me, Cao Daba?"
"You low-level lifeform are dreaming!"
"I'll tell you straight: your previous methods won't work."
"Energy Lifeforms can 'commit suicide,' but our suicide isn't death; it's a deep sleep."
"We wake up when the time comes. Although I don't know why your consciousness has a projection of a System Star General, you are not the Dominator here!"
"To put it harshly, you only have one more qualification than me to enter and exit here. You yourself are actually passive and can't do anything to me."
"I just need to stay here for a year, what can you do to me?"
"When the Seal ends, I'll make sure to kill you, you little bastard!"
Chen Du remained silent. The other party was right; he truly couldn't do anything to him.
At that moment, an idea he'd had long ago resurfaced in Chen Du's mind.
Without another word, Chen Du directly picked up the glass vessel and left the Six-Eyed Giant's location.
Chen Du, sitting still in the house, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the half-meter-tall glass vessel in his arms, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"It actually came out!"
This Seal could actually exist simultaneously in my consciousness and the real world!
Because initially, Cao Daba was a ball of Energy Lifeform in the outside world, and was later sealed by the Six-Eyed Giant within the Xuxian Meditation Technique in his consciousness.
At that time, Chen Du awoke from the state of having broken the Possession, and his surroundings were empty; there was no trace of Cao Daba.
This indicated that the Cao Daba sealed within his consciousness was the main body, and even if it was energy, it was a truly existing thing.
At that time, Chen Du had wondered if this ball of energy could be taken out of the Xuxian Meditation Technique.
Since this thing could be put into consciousness from reality, then based on the principle of reciprocity, taking it out should be fine, right?
But Chen Du hadn't done so at the time.
Mainly because there was no need; taking this thing out had no meaning, and he was afraid the other party would escape, even though there was a Seal.
But now it was different.
There was a Giant Egg here that could be exchanged for anything of equivalent value!
If Cao Daba was destined not to speak, and would escape in a year to threaten him in the future, what was the point of keeping him?
Might as well just exchange him. Since it was an equivalent exchange, this thing should be very valuable, right?
"What?"
"Decided to let me go, your great lord?"
"A wise move!"
"But I'll tell you the truth, even if you let me go now, I won't spare you!"
"But I'll leave you a complete corpse, as thanks."
However, Cao Daba only saw Chen Du's smiling face, like someone who had won the lottery, looking at him with ill intent.
"What do you want to do?!"
Cao Daba realized that Chen Du wasn't planning to let him go, and the other party's expression made him feel a hint of malice. He yelled.
"Nothing much, you'll know tomorrow."
After Chen Du finished speaking, he closed his eyes. When his figure appeared in his consciousness, the glass vessel in his hand also appeared simultaneously.
"Sure enough, this thing can be taken out and brought back in."
After placing Cao Daba back into the Xuxian Meditation Technique, Chen Du opened his eyes again.
Immediately after, he quickly took out several items from the Shushu Civilization and once again immersed his mind in his consciousness.
Unfortunately, the items from the outside were not brought in this time. Chen Du wasn't disappointed by this, as it was just an attempt.
In the past, Chen Du had also several times immersed his mind in his consciousness while holding a sword.
But the long sword had never gone in with him. This time, he had thought that the independent space of the Xuxian Meditation Technique had undergone some change due to the arrival of Cao Daba, this Energy Lifeform.
This change even surpassed the Storage Ring, because an Energy Lifeform was also a life!
Just now, Chen Du had even wondered if he could load living people into his consciousness!
Now it seemed Chen Du had simply overthought it; consciousness was consciousness after all, and couldn't become like a Storage Ring.
It could only be said that Cao Daba was special, or rather, Energy Lifeforms were special.
Although Chen Du really wanted to go to the magma egg now, the Shushu Civilization stipulated that even Martial Artists, when not on a mission, could only go out once every two days at most.
As for those Quasi-Warriors, they could only go out if a Martial Artist took them.
Chen Du had just gone out today, so he couldn't go out tomorrow or the day after. He could only wait until the fourth day.
Of course, he could also use the alien to change his identity and go out, but that carried too much risk.
There was a chance of being caught red-handed when he returned, and Chen Du still needed to observe when the village chief would leave, so he couldn't do that.
He could only wait two days, and then on the fourth day, go out and directly feed this stubborn Cao Daba to the egg!
