Chapter 53 Special Abilities (8,000 today, one update is due, but one more is due)
"Huh? What is this?"
Open the file, what Lin Qi saw It was a bunch of criss-crossed symbols, as messy as a child’s graffiti, and not a single word could be understood.
No, it should be said that there are no words at all.
The corners of the police officer's mouth turned up, looking at Lynch's confused expression, she showed a sly smile, and explained:
"Mysterious documents are more dangerous than rare objects, and are rare objects below the disaster level. As long as the object is in a containment state, it will not have much impact on ordinary people, but the mysterious document does not exist in a containment state. Every word in the document is full of mysterious filth. Anyone who reads the mysterious document will not understand it. If you are unfortunate enough to understand it, you will definitely be affected by the filth, and there is almost no chance of survival.”
"So in order to avoid accidentally injuring ordinary people, except for some notorious mysterious documents, such as the Book of Death, ancient ship scrolls, etc., most non-malicious mysterious documents will be written in some relatively rare ancient languages, such as ancient Luojia language and the like, to avoid being understood by normal people."
Lin Qi stared at the pile of crossed patterns: "Although I don't read much, I have learned five languages, which is just right. There are ancient Luojia languages, they are not like this. "
"What I just said is a mysterious document that needs to convey text content. At least it must be written in a way that someone can understand, because someone must 'read' it. But this kind of document with the ability to guide only needs to reflect the will of the writer, so the 'words' used only need to be recognized by the writer as words, and do not need to be understood by others. "
Lynch has understood that this thing is a page that is ‘read’ with inspiration.
‘Neighbor, please. ’
With the previous experience inside the Joy of the Strange Object Flasher, Lynch tried his best to let go of his consciousness and let Ms. Luna guide him to read the will hidden in the file.
"So, reading this kind of file is a long process, and you need to use inspiration to understand the will inside bit by bit. And in the process of understanding, you have to bear the spiritual impact of mystery and filth every moment, and you have to stop and stop. Come down and recuperate to avoid excessive pressure on your will."
"Yeah." Lynch nodded as he stared at the document.
“I remember the first time I used a mysterious file to comprehend my abilities, it took me nearly a month. My speed is considered normal. You don’t have to be too anxious, Lynch, your inspiration Mrs. Bessie agrees that she will definitely read it faster than me. I estimate that it can be completed within ten days. But don’t worry even if it doesn’t go well. It will be even more difficult if you are emotionally disturbed..."
"What is a mist mantis? What is a burrowing worm?" Lynch suddenly interrupted the police officer's explanation, "Also, is the long string in the last paragraph meant to be read out? By the way, what did you just say? I I didn't pay attention."
As he said that, Lynch turned his head and saw the police officer's mouth slightly opened, staring at him blankly, as if looking at a monster.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qi looked at the shirt on his body, there was nothing wrong with it.
"You...finished reading it?"
"Yes, it was a bit slow, after all, it was the first time, but I managed to read it in the end." Lynch said a little embarrassed, "I should be able to read the other one. Go faster, it’s only a hundred words long, what’s the problem? What did you say? I was distracted and didn’t pay attention to anything.”
“No, what did you say?” I didn’t even hear them. I was just saying that the moon is very round today.” The police officer shook her head vigorously and said in a calm tone, “Those two are semi-mysterious creatures and are auxiliary materials. They are both in the box. .”
moon? Lin Qi glanced at the bright sky and looked at the police officer in confusion. However, driven by curiosity, he picked up the second document as quickly as possible under the police officer's numb gaze.
I'm not surprised, I'm not surprised at all.
Isn’t it just that I read a little faster? There’s nothing surprising about that, right?
Hahaha, I won’t be surprised by anything this person does. It’s so normal, so normal.
As the police officer muttered to herself, almost doubting her life, Lynch had already finished reading the second document.
In general, these are the basic abilities under the two hidden powers.
One is lurking, the ability to use obstructions, light changes, and blind spots in the field of vision to conceal one's actions. You can move covertly in places with poor visibility without being discovered, but this is just hiding, not stealth. You will still be discovered if you search carefully, and you will still be discovered if you move to a place with good visibility.
The thieves' abilities are not beyond Lynch's expectation. His first ability is concealment, and his basic abilities will definitely include skills such as hiding traces. What's more, he thinks that he mainly relies on his brain to fight the enemy. Mastering such auxiliary skills is more suitable for his style. Anyway, he has Officer Natalie in frontal battles recently. As for the long-term, he may master offensive abilities.
The problem is that the effect of this ability is too useless. It can be discovered if you look closely. So what is the difference between it and ordinary hiding? At most, it is just a little better.
Another ability is to be silent. It can reduce the sound made by oneself, not just the sound of speaking, as long as the sound produced by one's own behavior can be eliminated. It should have a miraculous effect when used in conjunction with latency. As for other uses, Lynch immediately thought of silence. device.
They are not very useful abilities. After all, they are cheap things that can be mastered by reading files, and they are the lowest level. It is strange to be useful. It is better than nothing. Anyway, there is no upper limit to the ability, and there is no harm in mastering it. . Don’t be too sour if you get the fruit for free.
Thinking about it this way, he didn’t feel disappointed anymore. Lin Qi cheered up and started to prepare according to the method he learned from the document.
The matching box contains the powder of the wings of the mist mantis and the powder of the underground worm. According to Natalie, these two creatures are very good at ambush hunting. It makes some sense to use their symbolic meanings to help understand the latent ability.
Separate half of their powder and dissolve it in water, pour it into the bath, fill it with water, soak your whole body in it, hold your breath for thirty seconds, and pray silently three times to integrate the hidden properties of the two materials. After he succeeds, he finally mixes the other half and lets him hold his nose and drink it.
It actually had no taste, but Lynch still felt nauseated, as if he knew there were centipedes and leeches in the Chinese medicine soup he drank.
But regardless of vomiting, Lynch quickly sank his will into his soul, and saw the inside of the light ball representing concealment light up a little.
Let your consciousness continue to deepen, and it turns out that the ability you have just mastered is latent, and information including how to use it is automatically understood by your consciousness.
However, it was then that Lin Qi realized that what he had learned was not the lurking introduced in the document at all. It could be said that there was a huge difference.
Although the lurking he has mastered uses various conditions to conceal his behavior, once he succeeds, he will conceptually lurk beyond the perception of the people around him. As long as he is not directly touched, even if he loses his cover or The cover of light and shadow will not be easily noticed by others. However, if the strength gap is too large, the effect will be significantly reduced.
Closer to the stealth of thieves in the game, this is exactly what Lynch believes stealth should be like.
Lin Qi then remembered that Ms. Luna had mentioned before that after he awakened to divine power, various effects would have a qualitative leap. He didn’t feel anything special at the time, but now he understands that this is fundamentally Just two abilities.
Now he was immediately full of expectations for the second skill.
The second one is much simpler. In the box is a lot of dried petals, which are said to be five types of plants that can absorb or emit sound.
Mix the petals with a dry grass root called dreamgrass, then light it in an incense burner and inhale all the smoke into your body.
In a mystical sense, ingestion is only a means of taking effect on the body, while incense is a method of administration that directly affects the soul. It may seem like just taking a few breaths, but the conceptual characteristics have been guided into the soul by the dream grass.
Re-observation of the concealment of divine power, and sure enough, the second light spot has lit up. The tentacles of consciousness probed it and found that the effect had indeed changed.
From silence to phantom sound.
Not only can you silence yourself, but you can now make the sound within three meters around you disappear. It doesn't prevent it from coming in, but it prevents it from passing out. It is considered a range of silence. The effect is somewhat similar to the one I saw in the Dark Night Cathedral this morning. Glass cover.
Not only that, the bigger function is to transfer the sound to the surrounding five meters. Although it will definitely not be able to play a small star, it is enough to make a sound that is noticeable.
It was an unexpected surprise. He did not expect that the influence of divine power would be so great. Lynch praised Ms. Luna fiercely in his mind. Unfortunately, the gentle female voice ignored him and remained silent. After taking a look at the police officer on the sofa, Lynch realized that the abilities in this world are all kinds of weird, and the effects vary from person to person. Different effects would not arouse suspicion. Lynch rolled his eyes and showed a smirk.
“Hey, girl.”
A sudden voice came from behind the police officer. Officer Natalie looked back subconsciously, but there was nothing behind her, and then looked in the direction of Lynch. When I arrived, I found that Lynch had disappeared.
Using the shelter of the sofa, he lurked beyond perception.
Huh?
The police officer's eyes shone brightly, and she straightened her back and stood up. She first searched the room with her eyes, but to no avail, she began to pace slowly in the small living room.
"The effect is so good? You can't see it at all. Even the effect of your ability is so strange."
In fact, Lin Qi was standing at the door waving to her from a distance, but she didn't see it at all.
Lin Qi thought for a while, smiled evilly, eliminated the sound of his footsteps, and quietly approached the police officer. His goal was to snatch the top hat from Natalie's back. He was closer, closer, and he could reach out and reach out. When he reached the hat, Lynch suddenly felt the world spinning. He flew up skillfully, and then his arms were twisted and pinned to the sofa.
"I caught you, I'll sentence you to death for stealing a hat."
As he said that, Lynch was punched three times on the head, and then the police officer let go and said enthusiastically:< br>
“The effect is actually so good, much better than some mid-level soul-shifters with hidden powers.”
"Really? I think it's quite normal. Besides, I wasn't caught and executed by you. Your laws are a bit harsh."
Lin Qi rubbed his arms angrily. He estimated that the closer he got, the easier it would be to get caught. I found that, coupled with the impact of the difference in strength, being able to get within one meter was already pretty good. I still had to practice more and try to grab her hat and sell it to support my family.
The police officer raised her sword at Lynch, making a gesture of beating you, and thought: "These two abilities are really good. How can someone get such good basic abilities that can be learned by reading documents?" The effect is so surprising.”
Lynch shrugged, "People are not good enough. People have their limits, so I decided not to be a human being anymore."
This is divine authority.
“In this way, when we go out to investigate together in the future, you can hide and support me from behind when encountering enemies, just like the time when we faced the Dreadclaw, and I don’t have to worry about your safety. You... ”
The police officer was excitedly imagining the scene of the two of them investigating together in the future. Suddenly she turned her head and found that Lynch was looking at her with his chin in his hand, with a smile on his face.
The words were choked, and her face felt a little hot. The police officer bit her lower lip and kicked Lin Qixu. She sat back on the sofa solemnly and coughed dryly and said: "But you have the ability to hide. Ah, I have no attack ability at all. I was too passive when I was investigating."
"After all, it is a hidden power, so it is normal to have no attack means. I feel that Ms. Red Moon's soul-shifter will not have many attacks. "Meanwhile," Lin Qi spread his hands and smiled rather hatefully, "That's why I have to have a police officer by my side to protect me. After all, I'm just a weak detective."
"Bringing you back to the club and detaining you is the best way to protect you." Officer Natalie made a sinister expression and chuckled a few times. "It's impossible that you don't have attack methods, but you haven't developed them yet. You can only rely on them in the future." You're on your own. But for the near future... let's do this. You just broke out of a transcendental state today. The weak state after experiencing the outbreak for the first time will not be easy, so don't run around. Come to the Scarecrow to find me before lunch tomorrow, Tang. There should be information about Ni's address. I'll take you to a place first to test your affinity for the secret arts. As long as you're not as insulated from the secret arts as I am, it'll be easy."
"You. Wait, let me think about it..."
Lin Qi suddenly frowned, lowered his head and fell into deep thought. In fact, he was asking doubtful questions in his mind.
It's true that I should be weak, but why don't I feel weak anymore, Ms. Luna? ’
[I reminded you, Lynch, your current soul is like a divine power activated by the supreme will. So your transcendent state is different from ordinary people. Mortals become weak because their souls cannot withstand the explosive state and are damaged and need to recover slowly. And your soul is protected by the Supreme Will and will not be damaged by this, so you are not in a weak state. 】
‘Hiss, doesn’t that mean I can always be in a violent, no, no, transcendent state? ’
[As long as your energy can support it. 】
‘Then why couldn’t I enter that state just now. ’
[As long as your energy can support it. 】
'ha? Not enough energy? Am I such a bad person? Three seconds at most. ’
[No, one-tenth of a second. 】
‘Uh, why? ’
[Because you are using mortal soul power to supply the consumption of divine power, the effect is almost nonexistent, because mortal soul power can only support such an effect. It is not that the time cannot be shorter, but you can only understand such a short time. You don't have the idea to describe it even shorter. In fact, you only lasted for a moment, and your soul power was already exhausted. It was the spontaneous protection of the supreme will that prevented you from fainting on the spot. 】
‘You can say it more tactfully. 'Lynch sighed in imagination, but suddenly realized something, "That means that if my power is strong enough, I can sustain that state for a long time?"
[This is theoretically true, but It's impossible for a mortal soul to reach that level, I'm sure of that. 】
‘Not necessarily. What if the moonlight last night really connected with my soul? Will I be able to maintain the transcendental state while this lasts? ’
[That is a state that is difficult to recreate and can only be formed when your soul is alienated. 】
‘So every time I upgrade, I have a chance to form, right, and my idea is actually feasible, right. ’
Silently.
‘Is this also a question that I can’t understand? ’
[No, it’s just a question I don’t want to answer. 】
‘However, you don’t want to see your good neighbor messing around and trying to kill himself. If there is really danger, you will still remind him, right? ’
[Well, it’s hard to determine whether it’s good or bad for you to understand this too early, but... I will stay with you and witness every choice you make. 】
‘Thanks, neighbor, I’ll give it a try next time I upgrade. If it’s really not good, I’ll restrain myself. ’
After withdrawing his thoughts and looking at the police officer opposite the sofa who was looking at him curiously, Lynch smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm going to study my abilities tonight and try to develop new skills as soon as possible. I'll do it tomorrow." Using these two new abilities, let’s find the photos of Maya and Donnie together.”
There is a problem with this volume. These two chapters should be released in the third and fourth chapters, and then. Let’s continue with the official plot. But I made the same old mistake again, neglecting to improve my strength and gains, so I almost went straight to the official plot. Fortunately, there is an intermission after the introduction. Please make up for it quickly. I hope it's not too late.
