Chapter 52 Mysterious File
The sound of crying came faintly from downstairs, leaving the two people on the second floor looking at each other.
Just now the little thing hugged her mother and cried heartbrokenly. She told her mother all the bad things she had done in the past few years. She just cried and begged her mother not to abandon her and jump into the river. If she wanted to jump, just take her with her. Jumping with her, Lin Qi realized that he had accidentally hit the little thing's most feared spot.
If you think about it carefully, Martha is actually not a heinous person in terms of purpose, and the effect is indeed good. At least she controlled the group of wild children who had no bottom line and morals, and indeed improved the security environment in the King's District.
According to Ms. Police Officer’s experience, even if she is taken to the Hall of Order to surrender, she will not face any embarrassment, and it is not even easy to return the stolen goods, because the amount of money for each victim is not large, and I didn't want to argue with a bunch of kids, so no one pursued me, and very few even called the police.
So the most she could do was to be given a lesson and kicked out, because she saved the police a lot of trouble, and the police didn't want to take care of her at all.
Generally speaking, it has not caused irreparable consequences, but the means are too bad, and they are all based on taking advantage of the goodness of human nature. If this continues, big things will happen in the future, not only harming ourselves, but also harming others. We must correct it. come over.
Maggie never dreamed that her daughter would have such an experience. She no longer cared about fighting with Lynch. She hugged her daughter and ran downstairs. The mother and daughter were ready to talk in detail behind closed doors.
But Lynch was not ready to jump out of the window to escape. Seeing that Mrs. Maggie's complicated expression seemed to be a little grateful, she should still be reasonable, and it seemed that she did not need to face a violent mother. It would be much easier if he was willing to be reasonable. Lynch probably wouldn't have to move, but now he needs to face another trouble.
A woman with strong curiosity, even her eyes are sparkling. In the words of her hometown, she has a burning spirit of gossip.
This surprised Lynch extremely. It turned out that the serious and brave police officer Natalie still had this side. Even half-cold black tea could not stop her mouth, and she kept asking questions, forcing Lynch to just Can be blocked with something else.
Of course the honey biscuits bought on the road.
So, the tall, mature, long-haired police officer held a honey biscuit in his hands like a little squirrel and nibbled it while listening to Lynch's story with bright eyes.
In the end, Lin Qi also realized that the little thing did not mean any harm today. I guess I found out that my mother was not at home, so I took the initiative to make black tea and help serve it. I wanted to please this disgusting adult who promised to keep it a secret. But when I saw the bits and pieces on the table, I started playing with them without any sense of boundaries, and almost lost my life. .
“I also have a long memory. I must buy a safe and lock up all the strange things every day. It’s so scary.”
The police officer smiled: "I told you when we first met that every strange object is very dangerous to ordinary people. Now you understand."
Well, I understand. I will never be careless again, thank you.
Thinking like this in his heart, Lin Qi said: "You didn't say anything when we first met. You just pushed me to the ground and said that you would agree to everything if I survived... Ouch. ”
Her toes were stepped on again. How could this woman step over the coffee table while holding biscuits in the blink of an eye, then go back to nibbling on biscuits?
No, she didn't even blink.
But this reminded him of business, and he said excitedly: "I couldn't save Martha just now, but it felt like something exploded in my head. This is the feeling of activating power, right? , as if his whole body was full of strength, as if he was omnipotent, he rushed to that little bastard in an instant, just like this..."
Lynch wanted to try to recreate the experience he had not long ago, but no matter how hard he tried in his mind, he could not find the feeling of exploding deep in his soul. When he looked up in confusion, he saw Officer Natalie using a strange looked at him with a smile.
"I'm not wrong. You will fight for a little girl you don't know well. Your heart is indeed worthy of trust." The police officer's smile was particularly soft and she said softly, "No need to try, that's you Inadvertently stimulating the soul's instinct to enter the final transcendental state, in addition to the huge consumption, the soul will be in a weak state for at least an hour each time. You can't try it now."
"Huh? That state?”
"Yes, in fact, it was enough for you to activate a single power to enhance your strength and speed, but you didn't have the fighting consciousness of a soul changer at all, and you were really anxious, so you instinctively activated the strongest state."
It seems true. After the alienated soul activated the power of the red moon last night, he went home and fell asleep without even trying the new ability.
Although there is a reason for excessive consumption of soul power, I am also a little slack. In this mysterious world full of dangers, no one knows what will happen next moment, so you must be as prepared as possible. , to keep yourself in the best condition, otherwise it will be a disaster if you are not careful.
One lesson is enough, and you must never get carried away in the future.
"It's good that you understand. Now that you have entered the mysterious world, every time you relax, it means slipping deeper into the abyss of fantasy."
Although I am still holding honey. Chewing biscuits, but the tone of the police officer was very serious:
"That's why I'm here today. It's time to systematically let you know about the soul-shifters."
Lin Qi's heart tightened, knowing that this meant that he would finally become a soul-shifter in the true sense. He raised his hand to signal the police officer to stop. Then he took a few deep breaths to calm down his nervousness, and then he sat upright and nodded.
“Everyone who wants to maintain a normal will needs to rely on soul power, which we call energy. After alienation, our souls are exceptionally powerful and have far more energy than ordinary people, which can support us in using abilities and secret techniques. Energy generally recovers quickly during sleep, and there are some special items that can help with recovery, but they are relatively small. The energy reserve will gradually increase as we understand the power. Generally speaking, the higher the energy, the stronger our combat effectiveness. "Lin Qi nodded, Lan Tiao, understood.
“But alienation is also harmful. The biggest harm is that our souls have lost their barriers and will slowly absorb mystery from the environment every moment. In addition, we are in a high-concentration mysterious environment, or are in contact with mystery. In-depth contact with events will quickly accumulate mystery in the soul. This is what people often say is being eroded by mystery at all times. This process is irreversible."
"So this is a road that cannot be stopped? "Lynch thought of Archbishop Trinleth's previous warning, "What will happen if you accumulate too much?"
"The mystery that fills the soul may escape at any time, thereby contaminating our will and turning us into out-of-control lunatics or twisted monsters. Therefore, we must always maintain the strength of our will and the stability of our soul, otherwise we will be completely destroyed. Assimilate into a member of the mystery."
"Then we can only try to avoid too much contact with the mystery?"
"Unfortunately, it won't work if you accumulate it every day. One day. If you continue to pour wine into a sealed wine barrel filled with water, the wine inside will naturally be squeezed out from the cracks in the wood, and the soul will not be able to start the next alienation in time to expand its soul. It will gradually expand. The higher the degree of expansion, the greater the possibility of mysterious escape.”
"Then start the next alienation as soon as possible."
"It's not that easy. The next alienation needs to meet two conditions. First, there is a sacred mystery that guides us to understand the characteristics of the gods, and second, a thorough understanding The power itself has been alienated, and each power has at least four abilities. The higher the power level, the fewer suitable holy mysteries and supporting materials, and the higher the difficulty of comprehending the ability. Therefore, many mid-to-high-level soul-shifters tend to have different powers. The soul has long been filled, but it has never been able to carry out the next alienation, and eventually twisted into a monster."
"Then if you want to understand the ability..."
"Two ways, one is mysterious files, which are actually records left by predecessors. They are transformed into mysterious files because they carry mysterious information. This kind of ability is generally a very basic bottom-level ability. More powerful abilities are difficult to Record it in writing, because most soul-shifters can’t bear the mystery.”
Officer Natalie patted the box she brought:
"The other is to keep in contact with mysterious memories, whether they are strange objects or mysterious events, taste and learn from the memories, and realize your own abilities."
"No matter which one, it will actually make the mysterious pollution in the soul more serious."
"Yes, but there is no need to consider these in the early stage. After all, we cannot come into contact with things that are too mysterious in the early stage, otherwise we will not be able to deal with it. , so there is no need to consider excessive mysterious pollution. That is a problem that needs to be worried about later.”
The problem is that I need to compete with the evil god for divine power.
Lynch could only smile bitterly. He finally realized what a difficult path he had chosen.
The path of an ordinary soul-shifter is already bumpy enough, and he has to frequently come into contact with evil gods...
[You don’t need to worry too much about the mysterious filth, Lynch, your will The resistance to filth is very high. The evil god will not increase the mysterious filth accumulated in your body too much, and the effects of the mysterious filth can be recovered quickly. I warned you about this from the beginning. 】
Lin Qi thought about it, and indeed, she had reminded herself from the first time she saw the body of Drunk Peter, but...
'Why is this happening? ’
【Your soul is special. 】
‘Because I’m a time traveler? '
[Actually... no, you will know the reason in the future. All you need to remember now is that you don't have to worry about accumulating too much filth in your soul like most people, but the filth escaping is not good for you. Still deadly, so be careful. 】
Well, at least it’s good news.
Lynch smiled and pointed to the box in Officer Natalie's hand: "So, my journey as a soul-changer will begin with this box?"
Officer Natalie looked serious. Opened the box.
There are two book-sized wooden boxes inside the box, with an envelope pressed on each box. There is a faint feeling of danger inside, which is a warning of inspiration.
"Here are two abilities that are subordinate to the hidden power. It is said that they are the soul changers from the goddess of the night. She seems to also share the hidden power. Different from comprehending the ability from the mystery, when accepting the understanding of the predecessors from the mysterious document , due to the lack of mystery, various mysterious materials must be used to guide the user to understand the ability. Some high-level ones also need to refine the materials into potions, but these two do not require it.”
Lin Qi Diandian. Head, picked up the first document.
