Chapter 148
Some kind of magical effect obviously occurred under the Void Scale replacement cloth.
Immediately afterwards, this tattered piece of cloth seemed to come to life, slowly squirming.
"Has the replacement started?"
Hua Mi looked at the scene in front of her expectantly.
However, what happened next was different from what Zelika said.
The replacement was not completed all at once.
The replacement cloth continued to squirm, as if it was choked.
At this moment, Hua Mi, who had released all her mental power to wrap the replacement cloth, suddenly saw a strange scene in her mind:
a bright silver scale suspended in the void.
It seems as big as a tall building and as small as dust.
Because there is no reference object in the void, it is impossible to judge its size.
Its shape is simple and elegant, with no particularly complicated components or any decorative patterns.
There are only structures that implement the most basic functions.
The basic function of a balance is, of course, weighing.
At this time, on the scale on the left side of it is the Hagoromo Qianhuan Honey that Hua Mi placed under the replacement cloth.
The scale pan on the right is empty.
To be precise, I probably haven't decided what to put in it yet.
Light spots of various colors gathered on it and quickly dissipated before they could condense into shape. The weight on both sides was never equal.
Hua Mi found it interesting.
This scale is obviously not an ordinary magic prop, it has a strong spirituality.
Like a special spirit attached to the replacement cloth.
Hua Mi was about to release her mental power to further explore its properties, but she saw that the Yui Qianhuan Honey on the scale on the left disappeared.
And he suddenly felt a repulsive force, and his mental energy was ejected.
The void scene disappeared.
Hua Mi blinked and looked at the replacement cloth on the table.
The latter no longer squirms, and the magic effect inside has stopped.
Hua Mi opened it and saw that Yuyi Qianhuan Honey was still standing there, without any change at all.
"Did the replacement fail?"
Hua Mi covered the replacement cloth again and read "Alimondo" three times again, but nothing happened.
"..."
What's going on.
Is there a bug?
Maybe it's because honey wasn't supposed to appear in this world, so the scale couldn't accurately assess its value...
According to Zelika's description, under normal circumstances, the replacement is almost instantaneous.
But it just got "stuck".
And Hua Mi also relied on her own mental power to take advantage of the opportunity when it was stuck to detect its internal space.
At this time, I tried to poke in again, but it was like a dog biting a hedgehog - there was nowhere to bite.
The surface is perfect and there is no gap to be found.
It seems that only when it is replaced can it take advantage of it.
After a brief contact, he was able to determine that the scale attached to the replacement cloth was a unique spirit.
I don't know if I'm trapped inside.
Or could it be said that it was originally a spirit body born from this piece of cloth.
Then there is a question. When the replacement cloth is used a certain number of times and becomes damaged and can no longer be used, will the balance spirit be released, or will it just die?
Hua Mi noticed that even though the replacement had not been completed just now, the surface of the fabric was still a bit worn.
It seems that regardless of the outcome, as long as it is used, it will wear out.
"Hagoromo Qianhuan Honey has obviously been blocked. How about trying other honeys? Or, just go directly to Bee."
Hua Mi wanted to find out the secret of the balance spirit body at this time.
So he controlled a Yin Yang Bee to come out of the queue and lie on the table.
The Yin Yang bee is his highest level bee species so far.
Hua Mi let the Yin Yang Bee lie down on the table, and then covered it with the replacement cloth.
As before, release the mental power to wrap the whole body, and say "Alimondo" three times in a row.
After a familiar wave of magic.
The fabric "comes" to life again.
Hua Mi also lost control of the Yin Yang Bee at the same time.
He concentrated, looking for flaws.
As he thought, the replacement was still not completed in time this time.
Hua Mi took advantage of the void and controlled his mental power to penetrate inside.
The image of the void balance appeared in my mind again.
It’s the same as when weighing Hagoromo Sengen’s honey. The phantom of the Yin-Yang Bee was located on the left scale of the scale. On the right scale, items kept flashing across the scale, but they were never able to achieve equal weight on both sides.
This time, he found that the scale seemed a little more "irritable" than before, and the speed of the right scale pan changed significantly faster.
"You failed to complete the task twice in a row. You are not good at balance." Hua Mi couldn't help but complain in her heart.
That day Ping seemed to hear his thoughts.
The surface of the body changed from bright silver to fiery red in an instant, and one or two pinches of "steam" representing irritation kept coming out of it, as if he was frustrated.
The whole thing made a "squeaking" sound like old metal rubbing against each other.
"Is it red?"
Hua Mi realized that the scale as a whole was bound by certain rules, so it seemed a bit clumsy and stupid, like a robot controlled by a set program.
But within the scope of the rules, it shows considerable spirituality and can at least carry out simple communication.
Hua Mi became more and more curious about its origin.
I saw that the scale was "red and warm" for a moment, and a stream of colorful light spots suddenly flowed out from the body surface, gathered together, and landed on the right scale pan.
The scale begins to tilt to the right.
By continuously increasing and decreasing the light points, the two sides of the scale finally reached balance.
"This is..."
Before Hua Mi could take a closer look, his mental energy was ejected again.
The Void Scale disappeared from his mind.
Hua Mi glanced at the table.
I saw that the replacement cloth was more worn out than before.
It feels like it will be scrapped after just a few uses.
There was a slight bulge in the middle of the replacement cloth. The bulging size clearly indicated that there was no bee underneath.
Hua Mi opened it and saw a group of colorful light spots underneath.
Information about it immediately appeared in Hua Mi's mind.
This is a feature.
It was the Void Scale that was peeled off from himself.
Unable to find a suitable equivalent, he actually attacked himself directly.
This characteristic, to be precise, is the "weighing" characteristic.
The Void Balance relies on this characteristic to learn the properties of objects and perform equivalent replacements.
"This characteristic can be absorbed... As long as I absorb this characteristic, even if I see a strange item in the future, I will be able to directly analyze its nature and value."
Because this characteristic is not complete, it cannot be 100% get information.
It can only be said that there is a certain probability.
But it’s already quite powerful.
Hua Mi immediately stretched out her hand, and her fingertips touched the characteristic light group.
The moment they made contact, he felt an attraction, as if there were countless particles vying to get into his body.
Hua Mi relaxed her mental strength and allowed the light group to integrate into her body.
The warmth was fleeting.
This trait has become part of him.
Hua Mi blinked and looked around the inside of the wooden house, wanting to try out the ability he had just acquired.
"No, I'm familiar with everything here, there's no need to 'weigh'... Forget it, let's try again when we get a chance." ...
As
for other types of bees and honey, the replacement cloth no longer responds.
It seems that they are classified into the same category and blocked collectively...
"I wonder if Void Balance will affect its own functions after giving some characteristics?"
If the total amount of characteristics is conserved, then its ability will undoubtedly be affected. It will definitely be weakened.
Of course, it is also possible that only some features are copied, so there is no impact at all.
But compared to these, Hua Mi now wants to know the origin of the Void Scale.
This rare characteristic is miraculous even by the standards of other worlds.
Hua Mi glanced at the badly worn fabric and did not continue the experiment - it might break if she tried it again.
Stored it properly in a storage ring.
"When my mental power is strong enough, I may be able to forcefully penetrate the space where the Void Scale is located, and then I will naturally know where it came from..." At this time,
Hua Mi suddenly felt waves of heat in his body.
This is not caused by changes in the external environment, but radiates from the inside out.
"Is it due to the absorption of characteristics?"
Hua Mi carefully sensed the abnormality in the body, and probed inwards with mental power. It was basically confirmed that it was indeed the newly absorbed characteristics in the body that were causing trouble.
It seems...a bit incompatible.
