XX - Blood Studies

And so I went into the Null chamber, bringing only the blood bottles with me. To be honest, I was expecting the Null chamber to be vast, endless, and void with no color whatsoever. But, to my surprise, it was a white room, a fresh canvas yet to be used by me. I think these Null chambers were created by someone, to let other beings be creative in them and see what they would do with the place, or they are just forgotten realms that are not being used because they have no purpose. Well, I came here, and I will give this place purpose. I will install one simple idea in this chamber and its decorations. The idea would be " A place I call home". And thus shall be light, I sat in a chair materialized and put the bottles on the table. Before starting my experiences, I thought of what The Earl said about the no-survivor thing in the last Carrington event.  Supposedly speaking the last contract holders fought each other, logically speaking there would be at least one survivor, except if he killed himself by tearing his contract after killing every other contract holder, which wouldn't make sense. The Earl doesn't lie but he sure does misdirects in his dialogues. My theory would be that ONE contract holder sure did survive and he is either imprisoned somewhere or he ascended from being a half-human to something else. Maybe they are now one of the Bourgeois, who knows? The Earl said that all this happened because of the bloodlust, but why am I the only one who felt that thirst and not Psyche? The only logical answer would be that she is sane and I am not, which I highly doubt, Psyche is far from being sane after killing those guys in cold blood at the bus station. OR that the blood attracts you when you are most in need of it. I am injured, heavily, and my instincts and body ached for a sip, I wonder why? Does it help you regenerate quickly? Let us find out. I took one of the bottles and took a sip, mmmm tasty, but not as tasty as the red vial given by The Earl. To simplify it, if the red vial liquid was an 1800 conserved red wine, then this blood was like your local store red wine. After taking a sip, I felt better, mentally and physically. And I noticed that some of my wounds started regenerating quickly, not as quickly but a little bit better. I then took some of the blood and spilled it on my hand then covered the forehead wound that Kichil gave me when he tried to scalp me. The wound stopped bleeding at once, it closed itself like a zipper, quite interesting. So the half blood after all has regenerative abilities. Let's drink a whole bottle and see if it amplifies our abilities... I took one bottle and gulped it in a second, and sure felt so refreshed and ecstatic, this indeed can be addictive. It is like being on cocaine, except that it has no after effects, except the addiction of course. I would say that after drinking this bottle, what I noticed is that all my wounds started regenerating faster, I felt stronger, and faster and felt a mental clarity, as if I was able to perform better, as if I could abuse my ability with no thought about mental exhaustion, it was like a cheat code in your average console game. Although I felt that I became more angry and devious, as if I wanted more, I want to conquer everything. I guess the blood amplifies your emotions. Now that I knew what are the short-term effects of the C-holder blood, all I had to do was to store the other bottles for future uses. Now I shall rest here, heal and explore this Null chamber while simultaneously limiting testing the extent of my "Freak Show".

After testing the extent of my ability for a long amount of time, manifesting and materializing random things, I understood that my ability is highly based on knowledge not only imagination. Even if my ability is amplified by the blood, to materialize something, I have to know that the thing I will create is made to make it work. For example, when I created the clone that fought Lucky Blaze, it wasn't just random. I completely and perfectly know and master human anatomy and physiology, and I know what I look like, that is why my clone was a perfect copycat. So if I want to create, a car, for example, a car that works, I would need to know what the engine is made of and how it works. Sure I can create a car carcass, but it will be just an empty vessel that doesn't work, get it? Luckily for me, I am quite insightful in many fields, but not enough for my ability to work to its full extent. Imagine, if I can know how the liquid of the red vial was made, I could just materialize some and create more contract holders that only follow me, that would be useful. Imagine if I can understand how the essence of consciousness works and I can create life, my ability is unbound, and has infinite potential for evolution. The only thing that binds it is my knowledge, I lack insight. But I always can create a projection of anything I want to play with people's minds. Sure, it's just a projection and it is not physical, but it will look so real that it will put fear in people's hearts, and it is not mentally exhausting.

I have acquired 4 bottles of blood from Kichil, one I drank, so I only still have 3 bottles, or 3 liters to be more exact.

Now that I have had a glimpse of what my ability is capable of, how the blood works, and  how the null chamber works I shall leave as soon as I deal with one last experiment...
