Volume 13: The Son of Darkness, the Lord of the Netherworld, the Happy One Chapter 68 Bullying and Rampage Incident
The other party practiced very hard, even to the point of risking his life, but his spiritual power level was still such that he could only barely join the Countermeasures Department's combat team, and ranked last.
No matter how hard he tried, it was useless.
Moreover, compared to others, he lacks a big move to summon the soul of a general, and his strength is much weaker.
If the other party had not relied on special channels to complete some extremely difficult tasks, and also to comfort the hearts of those who had not awakened their souls, the other party would not even appear in the combat team.
At this time, this mixed-race boy was silently cultivating his spiritual power on the training ground.
In terms of combat and shooting abilities alone, he is among the best in the combat team and can even call himself the best.
However, his spiritual power is his biggest weakness, which makes his fighting ability a level lower than others.
As if sensing something at this moment, he looked up at the Gourd Taoist, with strong unwillingness revealed in his eyes.
Especially when his eyes swept towards Rota next to him, the unwillingness in his eyes became even more miserable.
Know the admiration of young people.
The young man naturally had a good impression of Rota, the captain of their action team, who had forced him, a man without a soul, to join them despite the pressure.
And as we get along with each other in the team on a daily basis, this kind of good feeling is gradually sprouting.
Unfortunately, with the arrival of Gourd Taoist, everything seems to have changed.
They were killed in one move.
The captain, who was in love with the other party, became a so-called receptionist under the other party's malicious request.
Specifically asking a beautiful woman to be the receptionist, just thinking about this kind of thing seems to involve romance.
However, no matter how unwilling he was, what could he do? He was weak and had almost no say.
He didn't even have the courage to report to his superiors. He could only watch it all happen and then comfort himself that nothing bad had happened.
"After all, they are aliens. It's normal that aliens have different aesthetics from us humans."
"Besides, I just have a good impression of him, and we haven't established any relationship. What qualifications do I have to stop this from happening?"
With this thought in mind, the boy retreated into his protective shell—trying hard to train himself to not care about what outsiders thought of him.
Taoist Gourd looked at the other person deliberately, as if he was observing something interesting .
The other person's thoughts were so strong that his brain waves seemed particularly dazzling.
As the legend of thunder, although he intentionally guided the growth direction of thunder towards the mysterious side, he did not completely let go of electromagnetic force and other directions.
This young man is a little special, his personality is a little weird.
Looks strong, but actually weak.
He exercises, hurts himself, and works harder than anyone else, but when it comes to the responsibilities he should take on, he seems very hesitant.
"This can't be an M-type protagonist in a sadistic novel." thought the Taoist priest Hulu.
But I don’t care too much, I’m even a little excited.
If the other party is the protagonist, then Rota seems to be the heroine.
The cat-eared heroine has special powers hidden in her body and an unknown and cruel fate.
The protagonist wants to save the other person, but he can only watch her fall into fate little by little and struggle constantly, but he is unable to lend a helping hand.
This kind of plot is quite exciting when you think about it.
Of course, at this stage, Gourd Taoist is just thinking about it.
However, all of Lu Bai's incarnations actually have a long-term mission, which is to use their essence as Lu Bai's incarnations to give birth to more offspring, thereby promoting the prosperity of the true self's way.
Nothing is easier than Lu Bai's offspring to find their true self.
They are born with most of the qualities of their true self.
Therefore, ideas may directly turn into reality.
"So the power in your body is the so-called soul?" Taoist Gourd asked Rota after observing for a short while.
"...Yes, it is the soul." Rota was stunned for a moment and answered immediately.
Obviously, she seemed a little guilty.
From this point of view, the thing in her body is most likely not a soul, but something else.
The Taoist priest Hulu did not expose the other party, but continued: "It seems that you are on the path of true self, and there are still some troubles."
At this time, it seemed that some instructions were transmitted to Rota through an unknown channel. She immediately asked, "Why is this?"
Although Taoist Hulu gave them some basic information on the Way of True Self, it only contained some basic preparations for practicing the Way of True Self, and did not fully explain the concept and core of the Way of True Self.
The Countermeasures Department and even the United Nations believe that it is necessary to find out what this true self path is in order to know why the Gourd Taoist came here and whether they have the ability to break free from the other party's control.
"What do you think controls all human behaviors?" Taoist Gourd asked Rota.
And Lothar immediately gave the answer: "My own mind."
"Wrong." Taoist Gourd also immediately denied it.
"The so-called self-mind is composed of many factors, including desires, morals, body hormones, instincts, habits, external environment, etc."
"All your behaviors are actually influenced by these things, and you develop coping mechanisms as a result."
"To a sufficiently powerful person, there is no difference between essence and knee-jerk reaction."
"Just press it and move it." As he said this, lightning flashed across the body of the Gourd Taoist, and Rota also felt an unprecedented impulse in an instant. She just felt that the person in front of her was so attractive.
His hands unconsciously raised up, and he was about to throw himself into the other person's arms, and then greedily absorb the other person's breath.
However, that feeling soon faded, Rota's face turned red, and he quickly put his hand down, holding the handle of his dagger, with an incredible light shining in his eyes.
"How is it?" The voice of the gourd Taoist came later: "The thought at that moment really came from your heart. At least at that moment, you really fell in love with me and had the idea of communicating with me."
"But can you still say that everything about yourself is controlled by your own mind?"
"Or is it that there is something else above my own mind that is dominating all this?"
"What is that?" Rota asked as he mobilized his spiritual power with some fear, suppressed his body's reaction, calmed his blushing face.
"The original, or first mover."
"This is your existence, the most original existence, the most primitive motivation, and the source of all your current actions."
"And the original was created by some beings whose names you cannot directly tell them."
"Once the primordial energy is withdrawn, you will lose all motivation, collapse to the ground, and die completely."
"Whatever changes are made to the original, your behavior will also change, without you even realizing it."
"That's no different from a puppet." Rota said in disbelief.
"It's a puppet." Taoist Gourd gave a confirming answer.
"To those beings, all living beings are just the dust that makes up the world, and the dust just needs to float according to their will."
The words of Taoist Gourd were extremely cruel.
However, Rota also reacted soon after, and asked with a little curiosity: "So what does this have to do with the true self?"
“The path of the true self is the path that allows all living beings to break free from their original nature, to be free from any external influences, and to be their true selves.”
“So the one who created the way of the true self is called the Lord of All Living Things.”
Hearing the name of the Lord of All Living Things once again, everyone's mood became slightly different.
I just feel that if things are really as what the Taoist priest Hulu said, then the Lord of All Living Things may really be qualified to be called that.
Of course, at this time they still remained skeptical about what Gourd Taoist said.
After all, this statement is too horrifying.
Because once you believe this statement, life seems to have no meaning.
At that time, you can only seek help from the way of your true self.
But who knows whether the path to the true self is a trap set by the so-called Lord of all living beings.
Once they embark on the path of their true self, they may end up being no better than being controlled by the original.
Those who did not know much about the Way of the True Self thought so, and then secretly sent a message to Rota, asking him to continue asking for more intelligence information and why the Soul would cause them trouble in practicing the Way of the True Self.
However, at this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded in the base.
"A time-space anomaly has occurred. According to the time-space vibration pattern, the fluctuation level is level eight."
The alarm made everyone immediately give up their training, and then started to dress and prepare to enter the teleportation facility not far away.
At the same time, someone at the center console immediately retrieved the surveillance data from the scene and began intelligence gathering.
Rota turned around and was about to leave, but hesitated and stopped to look at the Gourd Taoist.
"Go ahead. I'll also observe your actual combat and maybe I can come up with a solution."
Hearing what Taoist Hulu said, Rota nodded immediately and went to the preparation room without looking back.
Rota prefers combat missions to reception work.
Soon after they finished dressing, they tore through space with the help of the space-time converter and jumped to the place where the incident occurred.
At the first glance, Rota saw the Taoist priest Hulu, who seemed to have arrived here a long time ago, sitting next to him with a cup of milk tea.
Then his eyes flickered and looked towards the center of the incident.
This is a pedestrian street.
But at this time, the pedestrian street was full of wind and clouds, and traces of twilight were everywhere on the street, as if they had arrived at a dead city.
This street looks like it has been abandoned for decades.
At the same time, a wailing sound came from the broken door.
Like a resentful woman, she lamented her tragic fate in a place where no one was around.
"It's the time and space changes caused by the failure of awakening the soul." The corresponding information was immediately passed on.
Although they didn't know the real reason for the changes in time and space, they did find out some things.
That is, before space-time changes occur, there are corresponding triggers.
For example, if the awakening of the general soul fails, it is very likely to attract things from the past, thus causing changes in time and space.
If some people suddenly develop futuristic vision and claim that they can see the future, then they will most likely attract things from the future.
Some strange rituals will attract things from different time and space.
For example, the major event Tide of Ghouls was caused by an incident of cannibalism in a certain area of the city, which completed some strange ritual and summoned ghouls.
In addition, there are some strange things that can summon things from different time and space, thus facilitating the birth of events.
There is no way to find the initial trigger for some anomalies in time and space.
But this time the introduction is very easy to find.
A police report had appeared in this area long before. The caller said that a violent incident had occurred here. A group of bad boys and girls forced a girl who looked a little cowardly to buy things for them.
When the girl refused, they punched and kicked her and slapped her repeatedly.
It seemed that under this stimulation, the girl's emotions fluctuated violently, and she showed signs of awakening.
There are very few people who have awakened their general souls, and they have mastered military power, so their social status and welfare benefits are relatively good.
These social dregs are marginal people who make many mistakes, big and small, but usually they just break the law and rarely commit real crimes. When they cause trouble, they are at most detained for a period of time.
Now the situation got out of hand, and they naturally panicked, fearing that the girl would retaliate against them after she awakened, so they chose the most wrong approach, which was to interrupt her awakening.
This made the people who saw people being bullied and called the police panic immediately.
Those bad boys don't study well and don't know common sense of society, but that doesn't mean they don't understand.
If awakening is interrupted, it is easy to go berserk, that is, the soul that is half awakened has not regained reason and memory, so it loses its mind and indiscriminately massacres all life around it.
However, I didn't expect that this time it was not just a runaway incident, but also a change in time and space.
Those bad boys had no idea what was happening before their limbs were cut off one by one, and they were thrown to the ground like human sticks, wailing in pain.
From this point, it can be seen that what happened this time is more terrifying than a simple rampage incident, because the individual who descended has reason.
She was torturing these people, not killing them instinctively like an ordinary beast after losing her mind.
"Be careful, the source of this mutation is likely to have supernatural powers."
The legendary figures in history do not possess too many special abilities, but after they descend in the form of souls, they are able to possess some abilities that are close to the rules.
The people in the Countermeasures Department can only think that this is the bonus brought by the legend, and then intentionally or unintentionally guide these legends to give these legendary characters a positive image.
For some characters that are really difficult to guide, we design some obvious loopholes and flaws for them.
"We got the information. That girl has Li Ji's blood!" Just then, new information arrived.
