Volume 1: The Beginning of the Flame Chapter 17 Guidance·Awakening!

Only by embracing the mystery can we awaken?

Investigators Jiang Tingqiu, Wei Nian, Ke Yuan and others were all thinking about it and looking at Director Zhou, waiting for further instructions.

The square-faced man paused and slowly revealed the secret, "In fact, you are already on the path of embracing the mystery."

He said, "The evil represents mystery. When we investigators come into contact with and eliminate the evil, we have already been infected with mystery and are slowly accumulating mystery. When the mystery accumulates to a certain limit, it is possible to awaken."

"The more mysteries a person has, the more likely they are to awaken. In other words, we investigators are the group most likely to awaken."

"After awakening, one does have the means to directly kill evil spirits, and may have some special abilities. At the same time, a person's physical and mental strength are also improved."

"That sounds wonderful, right? But if awakening is really so wonderful, the General Administration would not have kept it a secret."

"Because compared to the improvement, the whole awakening process is more dangerous!"

Director Zhou said, "Mystery comes from weirdness. Embracing mystery is embracing weirdness. You can imagine it yourself."

"The chance of death during the awakening process is very high. In fact, death is not the worst. Some investigators failed to awaken and turned into even more terrifying evil spirits."

"So you should understand why the General Administration wants to hide this news."

Director Zhou looked at Jiang Tingqiu.

The General Administration is afraid of investigators like Jiang Tingqiu, who are too paranoid and keep diving into the evil world in order to awaken.

This method does have a high chance of triggering awakening, but the greater possibility is awakening failure, death, madness, or transformation into evil.

Being too eager may lead to disaster!

But now, the situation has changed, and even though it may cause great harm, the Investigation Bureau has to ... disclose this secret.

…

In an ordinary house in Taiping Community, Fang You was looking through the game records, absent-mindedly, with his fists clenched.

No power!

If... this is just a game, then you can't defeat the monsters, but this is not just a game.

This is reality!

Even if he could see the movements of the Evil Snake Queen from the game interface, he could dodge, but what about others?

If such a terrifying evil spirit were to become active, how much harm would it bring to the entire Baijiang City? How many people would die as a result?

He would not be foolish enough to give it away for free, but he was eager to gain power.

If I can spend more time and train the black sword to be stronger, then I can...

Fang You was flipping through the game diary.

[Black Blade stared directly at the evil snake mother, and his sanity declined.]

[Black Blade returned, hating his own weakness, so he doubled his daily training schedule, vowing to train to death as long as he didn't die.]

[Black sword training in progress.]

[Kurodo Shuu is in training.]

Although he couldn't get into Black Blade's perspective, Fang You could imagine that Black Blade was training very hard at this moment.

Brother Black Knife's skill proficiency is also improving rapidly. In just a few days, he has trained the basic sword skills to a proficiency level of 15%, which is more than 2% a day. His training speed is as fast as flying, and is much faster than Fang You himself.

only,

It would take Black Blade thirty to forty days of training alone to achieve a breakthrough. Even if the basic swordsmanship was broken through and Black Blade's physique was improved , Fang You did not think that Black Blade would be able to fight against the Evil Snake Queen.

The gap is too big.

"Is the only way to improve the combat power of the Apostles of Destiny to improve their skill proficiency level?"

Fang You pondered, frowning, "But even if you practice a skill to the pinnacle, you still need a corresponding foundation to support it."

But now, even the organization’s top general, Black Blade, is just a mortal.

I just mastered some slightly extraordinary abilities.

Even the two-star evil spirits can't be dealt with.

What if more advanced and terrifying evil appears in the future, won’t it be even more difficult to deal with?

This is unreasonable!

Fang You flipped back and forth on this extremely simple game interface, and when he clicked on the black knife information column, he said "Huh".

[Black Knife]

[Physique: 3.2]

〔Spirit: 1.3〕

[Mystery: 1.01]!

Except that the mysterious value is a little more than before, there seems to be no change. But the key lies in this mysterious value. Fang You is very sure that there was no "!" on the right side of the mysterious value before.

There is a big secret here!

He clicks.

[Hint: The accumulated mysterious value of the Apostle of Destiny, Black Blade, has exceeded one unit, and it has the possibility of awakening. Do you want to guide the awakening? <Click to view the instructions for awakening>]

Click Fangyou and the page will jump.

The game lists a lot of instructions about awakening, which could not be fully described in thousands of words. Fang You’s eyes became sore after reading them all... It was like reading a paper!

But I didn't dare to just glance at it.

Fang You read and understood it carefully word by word, and it took him a long time to figure out the meaning of awakening.

Show a look of joy.

"Awakening, isn't that the way to become stronger that I've been searching for?"

"Mysterious value is indeed as I guessed, similar to experience value. Under normal circumstances, it has no help to combat power, but when it accumulates to a certain limit, it may trigger awakening."

One unit is the boundary.

It doesn't mean that you will definitely awaken. One unit of mystery value is just a starting point, and there is a possibility of awakening.

The more mystery value accumulated, the higher the probability of awakening, but at the same time... there is also a higher probability of going crazy, or even becoming evil.

This is a double-edged sword!

So in a sense, the sooner you wake up, the safer you will be, and the most appropriate time is "1".

However, awakening is not something you can achieve just because you want to.

It depends on fate and luck.

At the same time, the awakening process is also the process of mysterious factors integrating into the body and releasing madness.

With danger.

The instructions also list various awakening situations.

Being too paranoid and pursuing evil, awakening with the power of evil, this has a high chance of being triggered, but is also the most dangerous.

Next is the natural awakening of the primitive stage.

Awakening in a confused state.

Awakening by chance.

There is also an awakening ceremony arranged.

Used the awakening of auxiliary treasures.

And so on and so forth.

It’s just that there are no specific instructions for rituals, treasures, etc., and it doesn’t matter because the game interface provides a "guided awakening" mode.

More direct! More secure!

[Hint: Do you want to guide the Apostle of Destiny, Black Blade, to awaken?]

[Tip: This time the awakening guidance needs to consume "Destiny Point × 1" and "Ghost Crystal × 3", and the awakening probability is 90%. If it fails, the second awakening guidance will consume more resources.]

[Prompt: Do you want to start guiding awakening?]

Fang You glanced at the game interface.

There are currently 2.9 destiny points and 9 strange crystals remaining.

The cost of awakening once is huge, but why hesitate?

His turn, start guiding!

In the empty and silent space, where only the sound of a waving blade could be heard, the black sword stopped and was sheathed.

guide,

Awakening,

The eyes under his mask seemed to recall something, but then fell silent again.

He just raised his head slightly with respect and looked ahead.

It was as if an invisible finger was tapping his forehead.

Suddenly,
