Chapter 145 The Silent Learned
When footsteps sounded from outside the bar door, the bartender stopped wiping the wine glass.
The young man who left not long ago strolled in and sat back down at the bar under the scrutinizing gazes of the drinkers.
The only difference is that there is a young man behind him.
Rand people.
As one of the few bartenders and information dealers in Shatu Town, the bartender recognized the boy the moment he saw him. He even vaguely knew some inside information. This young man seemed to be a "psychic person" who could help Lant gamble and make profits.
But looking at it now, Lant probably...
Looking at the bag in the boy's arms and the blood all over his body, the bartender looked back and smiled again.
"Well, your wine is ready."
"Give him a large glass of ice water and add more mint essence." Song Shi picked up the wine glass and motioned for the young man to sit down: "A certain concentration of hallucinogenic gases and stimulants are poured into the casino to adjust the atmosphere, but inhaling too much will still have an impact on the brain."
After saying that, he turned to look at the bartender: "By the way, is there any hemostatic spray here? Please use it, the money will be credited to me."
The bartender was messing around in the background for a while. , handed a bottle of healing spray with the Jade Pharmaceuticals trademark to the boy, who didn't waste any time and started spraying it himself.
"Personal suggestion." When the ice water was brought, the bartender lowered his voice and said in a tactful tone: "You should be more 'cautious' next."
In the bar, Behind Song Shi, some people had already stood up and left.
“Is this a warning?”
"No, this is a reminder." The bartender said: "Hunting a tiger is not just about charging up with a spear and stabbing it to death."
"Then."
Facing the other party, Song Shi raised his wine glass and chuckled: "Thanks for reminding me."
He drank it all in one gulp, then put the wine glass down, stood up and sat down.
"Agalemal, gone."
The bartender watched the two people leave. After a while, he suddenly realized something.
The other party seems to have not paid.
·······
It is difficult for small and medium-sized gathering points built on wasteland like "Sand Town" to provide any high-quality services.
Even though the motel Song Shi found was considered high-end in the town, when he actually checked in, the only praiseworthy thing about renting a room was that the environment was relatively clean, without the common needles, condoms and dirt. Yellow blood-stained sheets.
"Sit down."
Song Shi pulled up a chair and sat on it.
Agalemal hesitated for a moment and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Yeah"
Looking at the other party, Song Shi pondered for a while, and finally said: "Do you know what path you are on?"
"[Revelation]. That's what it told me." Agalemal looked at his hands and said: "I also checked some information on the Internet. You are a psyker of [Great Source], right? "
"The second ring, Dayuan."
Song Shi nodded and confirmed the other party's question: "You can call me Song Shi."
"Do you still have any living family, or somewhere else to go?"
Agalemal shook his head, but his expression didn't change much, as if he was used to it.
"I was killed by Rand six months ago. He was the owner of the casino just now, the middle-aged man you killed. He saw me playing cards with others in Palos and guessed that there was something wrong with me." Agalemal laughed at himself He smiled and said: "At first he thought I had some unique cheating methods and planned to force him to find out. Then he found out that I actually relied on my psychic skills to gamble."
"He knocked me out and pretended He put it into the bag, stuffed some money into the border guard, and then tied me here.”
Agalemal lifted up his shirt, and his chest and abdomen were covered with shocking scars, like. Someone used a hot iron to leave a mark on it: "I tried to escape several times, but failed"
For the first time, resentment appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "My latest time They had already reached the entry channel of Palose, but Lant bribed the guard in advance, and the man directly detained me and handed me back!"
Song Shi's expression did not change: "Your psychic power. Where is the skill? "Land is very defensive. He brings several people to catch me every time." Agalemal took a deep breath: "And even if there is a 'delay', I can't always turn on the 'lucky'. . Sometimes I escaped from Shatu Town by being 'lucky', but then I was caught again 'unfortunately' due to various reasons."
Song Shi was not surprised.
Every road has a myriad of faces and differs from person to person. There is no certain path or direction. Just like the great source of "water", the river of life that nourishes all things and the floods that destroy the earth are completely different existences.
But overall, [Revelation] is not particularly good at head-on combat.
The most critical thing is that the opponent is only in the first level, and even the first level of psychic skills is not full. When it comes to pure combat power, it is naturally far inferior to a character like Lant who has been transformed into a cyborg and holds weapons.
A temporary "lucky" cannot establish a long-term victory after all.
“—Three roads.”
So Song Shi raised three fingers.
"Since you have nowhere to go, I can give you three ways."
Agalemal's expression tightened.
"First, go back to Paloser. I know some people in the Enlightenment. You can join them."
"Are you an anti-corporate person?" He was stunned.
"Second, you follow me for the time being, I will take you to the next nearest city, and you can start a new life on your own."
Agalemal did not speak.
"The third one." Song Shi looked at the other party and said, "I will give you a map, and you can go to the 'Society of the Silent' yourself."
".Society of the Silent?"
Agalemal recalled for a while and confirmed that he had never heard of this name, so he asked: "What is that?"
" A group of psykers, an organization that has gathered the largest number of [Revelations] in the world.
“Explain it in words you can understand, you can think of it as an existence bigger than a giant enterprise... Also. Only your revelation can create such a thing. ”
Song Shi paused.
"Of course, it is definitely not within the territory of the Enterprise Alliance."
"Not within the territory of the Enterprise Alliance?"
Agalemal thinks that he has experienced enough today, but this For a moment, he still showed a surprised expression.
Far outside the territory of the corporate alliance, how far does it have to be? Thousands of miles? Thousands of miles?
After a while, Agalemal said: "Which one do you suggest I choose?"
"You make your own choice." Song Shiyan said concisely: "This will determine the direction of your life for a long period of time. How can you leave it to others to decide?"
Agalemal opened his mouth and remained silent. After a while: "The third one."
He said: "I want to choose the third one."
"Is there a reason?" Song Shi asked with interest.
“My intuition tells me that maybe this is the best thing for me.” Agalemal said, he paused: “I want to ask, why did you save me?”
< br>
When he said these words, the young man raised his head for the first time and looked at the person in front of him.
"You can think that I did it on a whim. After all, it is not a difficult task and I don't have to pay anything. You can also think that I am upright and can't see the sin and suffering, so I killed those people and You rescued me."
"But - these are too unreal, even if they are true, it is difficult to win people's trust, let alone this is the first time we meet."
Song. Sit upright and press your hands together.
“So, if I say that I will go to the Institute of the Silent in the future so that I can get help from someone I know, would you be more accepting of this explanation?”
