Chapter 30: Infection Value

[Friend of the Devil (Silver): After you have made ten extremely evil sacrifices, offering sacrifices filled with human hatred and blood and sweat, the ambition buried deep in your soul has been fortunately loved by a high-ranking demon.]

[Effect of wearing: The affinity with abnormal objects with the "fallen" mark is greatly increased, while the cost of use is reduced and the effect of use is greatly enhanced]

[Advanced route: Continue to perform the agreed evil sacrifice until the incarnation of the devil is fully revived, and this badge will automatically be upgraded to the gold badge "I am the devil"

In addition, every time a sin-ridden human soul is offered to it, the speed of the demon's resurrection will be increased accordingly. The current resurrection value is 5%].

[Hidden Features (No Need to Wear): After a long time of getting along, your soul will be tainted with the evil aura of the devil, and you will be more likely to attract the attention of certain evil beings]

[Your Infiltration Value Increased]

[Current infection value: 0.4]

Dip value...

Looking at this strange number that appeared again, Leon, who was squatting in the alley near the police department and lighting a cigarette for Black Goat, couldn't help but squint his eyes subconsciously.

I asked Black Goat privately, but the Cleanup Bureau didn't seem to have any information about the contamination value, so I can only infer the meaning of this data by myself.

And if I remember correctly, this thing called contamination value has appeared four times so far.

The first time was when I touched the black goat. Through the effect of [Materialistic Soul], I learned that its infiltration value was 0.1;

The second time was when I gained the recognition of the Black Goat and obtained the right to use it, and my own immersion value was increased to 0.1;

The third time was when I learned about the Red-haired Chief's [Love Without Memory], and learned that the infection value of that thing was 7;

The fourth time was after touching the door handle of the Happy Apartment. From the pop-up message, I learned that the infection value of [Spirit Residence] was also 0.1.

Therefore, it can be basically confirmed at present that the contamination value should be a unique characteristic of abnormal objects.

In addition, since the black goat began to recover, its own infection value also increased. I am afraid that after obtaining the right to use the abnormal object, the user's infection value will increase by the same amount.

Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but reach out and stroke the black goat's head twice.

[Name: Demonic Antagonist (Fallen, Knowledge, Whisper) (Recovering)]

[Appearance: ...]

【…】

[Infiltration value: 0.4]

Sure enough, the value is the same as mine.

Seeing that the infection value of the black goat had become 0.4, Leon's eyes suddenly flashed with understanding, and he also guessed the reason why the middle-aged nurse's memory was not cleared by the evil god's brain.

According to the "Use Value" of the [Soul-Housing Residence], these residents who greet the administrator are using this anomaly every day, so their own infection value should be 0.1.

The evil god's brain controlled by the Cleanup Bureau distinguishes between ordinary people and Cleanup Bureau employees by looking at whether they have an infection value, so they are regarded as "relevant personnel" and no memory processing is performed.

If my guess is correct, then this should be the truth that the Cleanup Bureau understands, that anyone who has used abnormal objects will not have their memory cleared by the Evil God's Brain.

However, there is another question, which is what the contamination value actually represents, and the most likely inference at present is that it represents the strength of the anomaly.

Because the strength of [Devil's Horn] is the same as [Spiritual Abode], both are 0.1, so the black goat can withstand the scissors of the Zhuang uncle, but the goat's horn was scratched. And the director's [Love without Memory] can block the memories of more than 7 people at once, which is much stronger than these two, so its infection value is only ?

Hmm... I have come into contact with too few abnormal objects, and the information I have is not enough... But it seems that I can find a way to try again.

Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but take another look at the panel that appeared above the black goat's head. While looking at its immersion value that had increased to 0.4, he touched the black goat's head again thoughtfully.

If the contamination value really represents the strength of the item, then 0.4>0.1, and the strength of the Black Goat is now greater than that of [Spirit Residence].

So when I get stronger, I can go to the Happy Apartment again and try to use the Black Goat to catch the old man's scissors. If I don't get dented this time...

……

"Why do you keep touching my head? Are you petting the dog?"

Not knowing that Leon was planning to use him as an experiment, the black goat shook off Leon's dirty hands unhappily, blew out a dark smoke ring, and then squinted his eyes and said comfortably:

"Boy! Since you are so generous, I will let you forget about using me as a shield. As long as you continue to pay tribute to me, we can still be good partners in the future!"

"Uh-huh."

After perfunctorily responding twice, Leon, who was now more thirsty for power after a series of events, lit up seven or eight cigarettes again, stuffed them into the black goat's mouth, and tentatively said:

"I've observed carefully, and the people in our bureau seem to have unusual physiques! Senior Emma can make handprints on an alloy cabinet, and the director only has a slightly red face after drinking hundreds of bottles of liquor.

And Senior Harry, who was sent out again just after returning, carried a box that I couldn’t drag very far even with all my strength, easier than carrying a water cup for him…”

After telling his observations, Leon stared at the black goat and asked without blinking:

"If it was just one or two people, it might be due to the effects of the anomaly, but if everyone in the bureau is like this, there must be a reason!
So can you tell me what I need to do to have their physical fitness?"

"Tsk... you're quite observant, but this can't be rushed!"

After taking a big puff of the cigarette in his mouth, the black goat, with smoke coming out of his ears, said lazily:
"Well... let me tell you this. When you use my ability, do you feel exhausted after using it too much? It's as if your whole body and mind have been drained away?"

"Have it?"

"..."

Shit... I forgot this guy has a strong affinity with demons...

After looking at Leon speechlessly, the black goat's thick lips flipped twice, and he put the cigarette in his mouth to the sides, and then said with a bad look:
"My ability is not to observe souls, but to stir up the dark side of other people's hearts! You have always used me as a telescope and a half-mind reader, and you have never used me properly! Of course you don't feel any consumption!"

"Oh……"

"In short, every time you use an abnormal object, in addition to satisfying its own rules, you also have to pay a certain amount of physical strength and willpower as a price. The stronger the effect, the more physical strength and willpower you need to pay.

Um… For example, the guy named Harry in your bureau, the most powerful anomaly he has is a roll of tape that never runs out, which can not only stick to physical objects, but even conceptual objects."

"Conceptual things...what do you mean?"

"It's about souls, bonds, broken beliefs, and so on... Anyway, you should be careful with him. If you suddenly develop feelings for him one day, then you are probably obsessed with him. Hurry up and slap yourself in the face to wake yourself up!"
