It's about time for me to wake up too."
Feeling the Demon Slayer projection enter a resting state, Luo Men looked at the empty Mirror Dimension and murmured to himself.
As Luo Men's thoughts changed, he returned to reality.
"Luo Men's awake!"
The moment he opened his eyes, a loud voice, belonging to Buck, rang out beside him.
Then, opening his eyes, Luo Men saw the space above him filled with heads, looking quite crowded.
"Why is everyone squeezed in here?"
Sitting up, Luo Men looked at the people surrounding him and asked with some confusion.
"You've been unconscious since you came back, for almost three hours now," Buck was the first to speak again.
Hearing Buck's words, Luo Men was a little surprised.
He had thought that even with the time spent observing the two projection bodies, it shouldn't have taken too long.
However, after a moment's thought, he recalled that after he fainted, while he was sleeping in the Mirror Dimension, his breathing seemed to align with the rhythm of the entire Mirror Dimension.
Luo Men understood that his current closer connection with the Mirror Dimension was likely due to this process taking a considerable amount of time.
"I'm fine," he smiled at the people around him, letting them know not to worry too much about him.
Seeing that Luo Men was indeed alright, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it hadn't been long, Luo Men was truly their backbone, and if something had really happened to him, they wouldn't have known what to do.
This time, the Black Strong Man's attack with his people had indeed caught them off guard.
However, after confirming Luo Men was fine, everyone gradually dispersed to do their own things.
"Come, have a bowl of meat soup."
As she spoke, Lisa, the young girl who could accelerate plant growth, walked in carrying a bowl of meat soup.
"Thank you."
After taking the meat soup, Luo Men tasted it.
Although everyone had come out of the laboratory and had no cooking experience, Lisa had a talent for cooking. After not much time trying, the bowl of meat soup Luo Men was currently drinking felt quite good.
"What should we do next?"
Watching Luo Men drink his soup, Lisa sat beside him and asked curiously.
They were now settled, but still somewhat uncertain about the future, especially with Luo Men encountering an attack while hunting, which had indeed increased their unease.
Luo Men looked at Lisa and pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.
Looking at Lisa, Luo Men remembered that among the abilities he had copied, there was one called Sublimation, which could help people strengthen their abilities.
Currently, Luo Men's abilities were limited, but he was, after all, a relatively powerful Level 3 Mutant, and should be able to help Level 2 Mutant like Lisa sublimate their abilities.
If Lisa's ability was strengthened, would she be able to gain the ability to control plants?
Even if it was just the level of the "Three Rooms and Two Halls" technique or the "Tree Planting and Forestation" technique from the Great and That, it would still be quite useful. At that time, concealing their current base should also have a good effect.
"Don't move."
Saying this, Luo Men reached out and touched Lisa's palm, trying to sense his Sublimation ability.
After sensing it, Luo Men's eyes also lit up. According to his sensing, he could support the strengthening of Lisa's ability, and it wouldn't have much impact on him.
Since that was the case, Luo Men didn't hesitate at all and directly used the Sublimation ability on Lisa.
"Mmm~"
Lisa, who had been wondering what Luo Men was going to do, hadn't even spoken when she felt a surge of warmth appear in her body, and then she narrowed her eyes, unable to help but let out a comfortable sound.
However, this comfortable feeling didn't last long and quickly ended.
[Plant Manipulation (Level 3): Can accelerate plant growth and manipulate plants within a certain range.]
Seeing that Lisa's ability had indeed upgraded and that she had indeed gained the ability to manipulate plants, Luo Men's eyes lit up.
However, before Luo Men could have any thoughts, a feeling of being completely drained spread throughout his body, and the bowl in his other hand almost slipped.
"Eh, what's wrong with you?"
Lisa, who felt some change in her body and was about to try it out, also noticed Luo Men's face instantly turn pale, and she became somewhat anxious.
Luo Men had only just woken up a short while ago; it would be best if no more problems arose.
Taking a sip of meat soup, Luo Men felt a little better, and then he asked Lisa, "Nothing, just feel it. Your ability should have evolved."
"Evolved?"
"That's right. How do you feel now?"
"I've never felt so good. I seem to be able to manipulate plants."
Looking at Luo Men's weak appearance, Lisa felt that Luo Men might have paid some price to evolve her ability, but her current state was indeed wonderful.
"Can you demonstrate it?"
Looking at Lisa, Luo Men had a hint of anticipation.
Seeing Luo Men's gaze, Lisa thought for a moment, said nothing, and instead looked at the ground.
Luo Men also looked over, and then he saw that under Lisa's gaze, an almost imperceptible green sprout in a crack in the ground rapidly grew into a small blade of grass.
If it were just that, there would be no difference from Lisa's previous ability.
But under Luo Men's observation, that small blade of grass slowly changed its shape, forming several patterns, with the transformation speed gradually becoming more skilled and rapid from its initial awkwardness.
Seeing this scene, Luo Men felt that this ability was indeed good. Although his own consumption was a bit large, the result was also quite good.
Now that Lisa's ability had evolved, it could truly be said that her future was promising. Although her combat ability would still not be particularly strong, her support ability would definitely be maxed out.
"Good. Next, Lisa, you should practice your ability well and try to arrange the surrounding environment to reduce the possibility of us being discovered."
"Okay."
Hearing Luo Men's words, Lisa immediately agreed. She felt that her ability should make doing such things relatively simple. After speaking, Lisa, unable to hold back, immediately left to try out her ability.
Looking at Lisa's retreating figure, Luo Men thought of more things.
Among all the personnel who had followed him here, most were Level 2 Mutant, and their abilities were not considered strong, but after Sublimation, several good abilities would surely emerge.
Once his own strength improved, sublimating Level 3 Mutant like Buck might even evolve a powerful Level 4 Mutant.
However, thinking about the consumption of helping Lisa sublimate her ability, Luo Men felt a sense of emptiness. This was not a simple matter; one could only say that the task was arduous and the road long.
