Chapter 81 Whirlpool
Following Maren, Song Shi walked into his residence.
Simple.
This is the first impression of the entire residence.
This is a two-bedroom apartment. When you enter, you will see a small living room with only a long metal table. On the other side are a small refrigerator, an old-style stove, and some sundries.
On both sides of the living room are a bedroom and a bathroom. The former can only accommodate a bed and counter, while the latter is a narrow square column space that can barely accommodate one person - the equipment and furniture in the entire residence are quite large. It's old, but it's obviously been wiped carefully, so it's clean.
The two walked into the room, each pulled a stool and sat down, facing each other.
But no one spoke first, and the living room fell into inexplicable silence for a while.
Seeing this, Song Shi's thoughts couldn't help but fall into memories.
——[Sword of Four Systems].
With the four basic types of "attack", "defend", "reverse" and "combination", it comes from the Vampusta Empire, one of the most widely spread swordsmanship of the empire's national religion.
Theoretically, for every member of the state church - whether he is an armed priest, a church knight, or anything else, [Sword of the Four Systems] is one of their required introductory courses.
Although most people, after finishing studying [Sword of Four Systems], will switch to learning something more suitable according to their position and preferences, such as gun operation, etc., this does not mean that [ The Sword of the Four Systems is useless and is just a discarded object of the new era.
Because apart from the attribute of "close combat", [Sword of Four Systems] is a serious set of "psionic swordsmanship"!
Psychics, especially high-ranking psykers, in order to ensure that they kill their enemies who are also high-ranking psykers, often choose to fight in close quarters and decide life and death with their swords - because except for a few For some things similar to "space-based weapons", most of the gunfire either cannot hit them or can no longer cause effective damage to them.
Only psychic skills or close combat can ensure sufficient lethality and ensure that it is difficult for the opponent to escape.
Only psykers can truly exert the effect of the [Sword of Four Systems] and use various advanced sword styles involving psionic energy.
That’s why the Vampusta Empire, which was founded on psionic energy, did its best to create a series of "psionic secrets" represented by the "Four Swords".
[Sword of Four Systems] is one of the best. It is indeed the foundation, but its various advancements are not basic. With thousands of years of accumulation of the Vampusta Empire, it has extremely high compatibility and expandability.
Even Song Shi knows some of the four swords.
As a psyker at the peak of the fourth ring, of course he also knows the so-called "psionic secrets", but it is not a specific object, but relies on years of fighting and understanding, learning and witnessing other psionic secrets. His own talents, and thus summed up and polished the "psionic secrets" that are only suitable for himself.
But there is no name.
I originally planned to re-integrate this "Psionic Secret" after being promoted to the fifth ring, carefully choose a name, and see if I could find a few promising people to serve as "Nandou·Song Shi" "Heritage" was passed down - but before it was completed, he was reborn in Palother.
But seriously speaking, most of the "spiritual secrets" can only be truly utilized in the second level. In the first level, at best, some "meditation" can be used to assist daily practice, and nothing else. It's of no use.
And to be honest, the power of psykers still lies in "psionic skills", and the priority of "psionic secrets" is not as high as the former.
Even the prerequisite for the use of many "psionic secrets" is to have the corresponding "psionic skills".
To a certain extent, the so-called "psionic secrets" are the development and use methods of "psionic skills" that have been evolved based on the summary and refinement of past holders.
——But.
In the abandoned building not long ago, Song Shi saw that the reason why the other party seemed to know the "Four Systems of Swords" was not because he had learned part of it.
Simply a matter of experience.
When the Vampusta Empire was chasing me, I was killing and injuring too many people who knew the Four Swords, and I was a little too familiar with them.
“.I refuse.”
At a certain moment, Maren suddenly spoke.
He raised his head, expressionless, and repeated: "I refuse, I will not do anything for you."
"Is there no reason?"
Song Shi raised his eyebrows: "A member of the Vampusta Empire hiding in Paloser is still a member of the state religion who knows the 'Four Swords' and has not low attainments. I thought you would be happy to see trouble in the corporate alliance." "
"Although your attention has been on the confrontation with the Pan-Eastern Continent Consortium, haven't you also been eyeing the territory of the Enterprise Alliance?"
Maren was silent for a while. .
He said: "I have nothing to do with the empire anymore. If you or you want to do something, you have found the wrong person." - It doesn't matter?
Song Shi's heart moved and he was a little surprised. betray? escape? Or something else? With the strictness of the empire's state religion, how could it be allowed?
But then, Maren's voice sounded again.
He stared closely at Song Shi's mask, and his tone became a little more serious: "——Also, don't do unnecessary things."
The middle-aged man said word by word: " Don't play tricks on those kids, or you will regret it."
"——'Playing tricks'?"
Maren suddenly noticed that the other party's tone suddenly changed.
"I'm not trying to distract them right now." Song Shi said lightly: "I was at the scene of what happened just now. How do you plan to make those people regret it?"
Hearing this , Maren couldn't help but be surprised.
He subconsciously recalled the abandoned building not long ago, and finally remembered some details that seemed wrong at the time - had he slacked off to this extent over the years?
But before I had time to recall it, I heard the other party speak again.
"Even if we don't talk about them, how do you plan to solve the issue of the real estate developer's acquisition of the welfare home?"
".I will find a way, this is none of your business."
Maren said in a deep voice.
But there was some bitterness in his heart.
Not only the real estate developer, but also the person in front of me who is somehow very familiar with the "Sword of the Four Systems" but is not from the empire - the second conclusion is not difficult to draw, because if it is the state religion of the empire People are probably already preparing to decide and execute themselves.
After hiding for so many years, is it still impossible to escape?
"I"
Just as Maren was thinking about what to say, the other party stood up directly.
"Okay, I get it."
Song Shi popped up a magnetic card and said in a calm tone: "There are 30,000 credits in it, and there is also a contact information - don't think too much , this is not a 'repayment' or a 'threat', the money is for the Baici Welfare Home, and the contact information is as you wish, it doesn't matter if you just throw it away."
After saying that, Song Shi turned around without hesitation and left towards the door.
Just when he was about to step out of the door, he paused.
“I won’t do anything like ‘Oh, I’m sorry for accidentally revealing your identity’.”
“But you should understand that nothing can be hidden for a lifetime. Sometimes just 'existence' itself will be involved in and bring about a whirlpool."
Maren looked at the magnetic card on the table and sat silently.

“Huh——”
Pushing open the door, Song Shi threw Steel Crow onto the sofa.
Just as he was about to enter the bathroom and start today's psychic practice, a communication message suddenly sounded.
This is an unsigned communication link.
Click to enter. About four or five seconds later, Zhuniao’s voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
"Nandou, do you have time? Come to Thousand Stars City."
"Oh?"
Zhudiao's tone was surprisingly serious.
“We know what the Three-Phase Basic Plan is.”
Highly recommend this book! The setting is very fashionable and interesting, and the first volume is very complete, enough to be called an excellent work! If you like "cyberpunk", then this book basically has the elements you want to see——
