Chapter 156 The Power of the Power Ring
When O'Connor woke up, he saw a white ceiling, and he was sleeping intact on a recliner. The wounds bitten by the piranhas could not be seen at all, and he was still wearing the clothes he had worn during the interview, without even a single cut.
This weird situation made O'Connor wonder whether everything just now was just a dream
When O'Connor was feeling panicked, a handsome boy walked up to him and said approvingly, "You are the first person to successfully pass the preliminary interview, congratulations."
"You are Battle Angel Michael." O'Connor easily recognized the boy, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Photos of Luo Di have been circulating on the Internet recently, but most of them are in the form of angels with wings, and such gentle looks are rare.
"Actually, my name is Roddy Stark, and I don't have any religious beliefs." Roddy replied a little helplessly. If Rody had a choice, he would rather have the explosive nickname of Dragon Knight than the shameful nickname of Michael.
But for his campaign plan, he can only acquiesce in this very disliked nickname.
O'Connor was very emotional, as if a lot of words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't wait to say them. It's just that the words came to my lips, but I didn't know what to say.
Roddy had a good impression of O'Connor, the same age, so he kindly reminded: "I know you have experienced many things in the illusion, so you need to calm down now and prepare for the second round in half an hour. interview."
"Illusion, you said that what I experienced just now was an illusion." Although O'Connor had already noticed it, it was impossible for Shinra Company to dig such a huge artificial lake inside. But those vivid scenes still made him feel extremely real, even the severe pain of being bitten by piranhas was not fake at all.
"Of course it's an illusion. This is just an interview. How can it be possible for people to swim in a lake full of piranhas? We are recruiting heroes, not killing people." Roddy explained with a smile.
Using the illusion to conduct interviews can screen out the desired talents in the shortest time. Time passes very quickly in the illusion, just like a dream, the experience of several days is actually only half an hour in reality. Only a little guidance is needed to clearly see the character and essence of the interviewer.
With the resources that Shinra currently possesses, physical fitness is not a consideration at all. Even if you are terminally ill, you can be cured in minutes.
Therefore, Luo Di pays more attention to the strength of the mind and will, which is the only criterion for the interview.
But this interview method exhausted Roddy and Matt,
If Rody hadn't mastered the method of connecting with other people's minds and sharing mental power, interviewing ten people at the same time would be the limit.
However, the twinkling stars in the Sea of Consciousness gave Rody huge spiritual support. As long as he was properly prepared, it would not be a problem to let a hundred people enter the illusion at one time.
O'Connor didn't know these details, but he was very happy to know that he had passed the first round of interviews, and he was one step closer to his dream.
Half an hour later, O'Connor was taken into what looked more like a laboratory than an interview room, and he entered with four other candidates.
A total of 100 people were interviewed, and 95% were eliminated in the first round. This pass rate made O'Connor feel a little proud, and at the same time, he felt even more nervous about the next test.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone for passing the first interview. This shows that you have the potential to become heroes. Now is the second interview, or the second test. O'Connor, you are the first."
Roddy handed O'Connor a ring emitting a faint red light, and O'Connor could feel the slightest warmth coming from it.
"Take it and imagine what it would be like to be a hero. You will be able to acquire what you want to be," Roddy told O'Connor.
O'Connor put the ring on his hand, and then twisted the surface of the ring under Roddy's guidance. The heat spread from the fingers to the whole body in an instant, and O'Connor felt a pain in the palms of his hands, as if something had split.
Opening up the palms, there was a light red scar on the palms of the left and right hands, but strangely, no blood flowed out.
"Try your ability quickly." Rody was very interested. Judging from O'Connor's situation, it should not be a simple evolution, but a more interesting ability.
O'Connor focused all his attention on the scar on his palm, as if blessed to his heart, he suddenly understood how to use this ability.
O'Connor stretched out his right hand, and pressed it in the air, leaving a red trace. Then the red trace opened slowly, just like the opening of the eyes, but the inside was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
O'Connor continued to stretch out his left hand and repeated the action just now, another black eye was "opened" in the air.
"What is this?" Rody couldn't understand, and was about to ask, but saw O'Connor put his right hand directly into one of the "black eyes". What was surprising was that his arm came from the other one. The "eyes" stick out.
"This is a space channel!" Rody couldn't help being shocked. Space and time can be said to be the most unreasonable abilities. So far, this is the first time that Rody has encountered this ability.
It's just that when O'Connor wanted to test his ability, he found that the ring on his hand had dimmed, and the red damage on his palm had disappeared without a trace.
"It can only last for such a short period of time, at least level three ability, O'Connor, you are really talented." Roddy praised.
It's just that in this short twenty-second test, O'Connor felt like he had gone through a triathlon. After the effect of the power ring disappeared, he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
This is also the biggest problem for ordinary people to use power rings, which consume a lot of physical and mental energy. But this kind of consumption is nothing, as long as you keep exercising, you can quickly overcome it under the action of various medicines from Shinra Company.
"O'Connor, tell me what you were thinking just now. Is this the ability you want to acquire?" This question is still crucial, and it is an important parameter for judging whether the effect of the ability ring is controllable or random.
"I didn't actually imagine any special abilities, but just now I remembered a magic show that I liked very much when I was a child. The magician can make the things in the box disappear and then put them back. I often wonder if there is one in the box that can't be opened. "Space Gate"
O'Connor explained the idea just now a little clumsily. After hearing this, Rody patted O'Connor on the shoulder with great satisfaction. This experiment was undoubtedly very successful.
Then Rody looked at the remaining four applicants with bright eyes, wondering what kind of surprise they would give Rody
