Chapter 27 Promotion, Second Awakening!
When it was completely dark, Xinghuo was taken away for psychological counseling to avoid leaving psychological trauma.
A considerable number of handlers were investigating the cause of this out-of-control incident.
Mada is a second-level psychic. He has been a handler for several years and has a lot of experience.
He usually has no so-called "heart demons" and has not reached the point where he needs to be promoted.
But it suddenly twisted during an operation.
While the officials were sad about this, they also responded with absolute vigilance.
A group of handlers with various tracking and investigation capabilities rushed to the scene, hoping to find the real culprit from clues.
If someone looked down from the sky of the giant city, they would see a large number of figures moving in the air at a speed that ordinary people could not understand in the dark.
At the same time, the three wild psychics caught by the logistics team during the "team building" were also strictly guarded and interrogated by the officials.
They were wild psychics from different urban areas, but they could accurately find each other in the giant city and tried to raid a handler at the risk of risk.
Obviously, someone is connecting them, and the authorities must follow the clues to find this person. Eliminate risks for the giant city in advance.
Judging from the current intelligence, the other party's ability is very strange.
It is said that they have some kind of mysterious communication channel.
They can contact without any time difference, and even directly contact psychics in the same camp in several giant cities.
Some people will trade or issue tasks, and those who complete them will get potion materials or psychic weapons.
After each "contact", the items will be delivered to the other party through some unknown channels.
This makes them hide very deeply, and even if the giant cities notice it, it is difficult to eradicate it.
The mysterious organization of unknown origin and the sudden distortion of the handlers show a sense of oppression that is about to come, which makes the senior executives of the processing department a little serious.
Both should not be underestimated, and they must be vigilant and careful.
At this time, a message was reported to the headquarters.
"Yejiang. The young man with the mask of the Mimicking Overlord? Is he going to be promoted now?" A white-haired old man was surprised: "So soon? How long has he joined the processing department?"
"It's been almost a month." An old woman responded: "After all, he has experienced many battles, even shattered taboos, and once faced a ghost fairy of unknown level. I thought I would have to wait another month, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. It is estimated that there has been a change in mentality, which has allowed the soul well to extend."
"That's good. Although it is not clear what is behind him, it seems that he has no hostility towards humans at present." The old man said: "If, while Yejiang breaks through, we can glimpse the figure of that existence, it would be better."
"At that time, we only detected the disappearance of the breath of the ghost fairy, and did not see the figure of that existence. What a pity."
On the other side, Li Yelai felt the changes in his soul well, and after confirming that his mentality had changed in some way.
His soul well began to extend and continued to open up towards the virtual realm.
This is a sign of awakening again.
So, he said calmly: "I'm going to be promoted."
He became the fastest promoted handler among the dozen newcomers in the four branches of Border City No. 3.
If Li Yunyan were here, she would probably shout
'Today I enter the land fairyland! '
For safety reasons, Cheese's face changed slightly and he said softly: "Congratulations."
He then carried Li Yelai into the car and immediately notified Yang Chen.
When the two arrived at the branch, Yang Chen was already waiting at the door.
Yang Chen didn't seem surprised by Li Yelai's promotion speed. After looking at Li Yelai for a while, he nodded and said: "It is indeed going to be promoted. This is your first promotion. Before you are successfully promoted, you must be careful of the infiltration of power in the virtual realm and the possible interference of virtual creatures. Cheese, I and the other teammates will take care of you."
The promotion ceremony is dangerous, especially during the promotion. If you encounter interference from virtual creatures, it is simply a matter of life and death.
Because, in addition to some bloody and evil rituals, virtual creatures want to come to the physical world. There is another way. That is to occupy the body of a psychic!
A perfectly fitting body is an irresistible temptation for the virtual creatures.
Several cases can be found in the forum of the processing department.
It is said that a virtual creature with a good IQ launched an offensive against a psychic after discovering a body that fits it very well.
After many failures, it set its sights on the children and grandchildren of the psychic.
It persevered in interfering and tried to seize a body.
The probability of the psychic in this family losing control is very high.
And the virtual creature is immortal, and killing his physical body will only exile him back to the virtual world.
It has become the nightmare of that family.
This is the difficulty of the virtual creature.
Of course, low-awakening psychics generally cannot attract the attention of virtual creatures. It is a low probability problem for Li Yelai to encounter a virtual creature at this level.
"If I am unlucky and I really meet a virtual creature, how should I deal with it?" Li Yelai referred to his own luck and felt that it was not impossible for the virtual creature to have a similar face.
"After the psychic opens up the Well of Soul, he will actually leave his own projection in the virtual world through the Well of Soul." Yang Chen led Li Yelai and Cheese into the branch and explained: "The more times you awaken, the larger the projection you leave in the virtual world will be."
"I understand. My current projection is still too small, and the creatures in the virtual world generally can't find me. After I awaken many times, the projection becomes larger, and they can naturally sense me." Li Yelai nodded: "But my luck is really not good. What if I am really caught?"
"Don't say such unlucky words." Cheese frowned and kicked Li Yelai's calf lightly with some dissatisfaction.
"However, it is normal for you to have such worries." Yang Chen comforted: "When you are promoted, we will also watch you in our soul well. If there is really a virtual creature that discovers you and attacks you who only have the second awakening, it will not be a powerful virtual creature. We can scare it away. Or delay until you finish your promotion."
"No wonder you need to take care of it. It's like the guardian in the fairy tale novel." Li Yelai thought.
"So, with us here, you should be more careful about the influence of the virtual world on you." Yang Chen showed a serious expression: "According to our analysis, it may be the rules of the virtual world, or guide you to fall into the desire of killing, and turn into a killer. Or guide you to liberate your desires, or induce you to pursue some mysterious knowledge that cannot be touched."
Li Yelai has heard this statement many times, but still doesn't quite understand this danger.
"Is it a direct change in personality?"
"Yes, after being affected, you are no longer you. And you yourself have no idea." Yang Chen said in a deep voice: "For example, the glutton I dealt with before."
"He was originally a man who loved his family, but the Embers Church guided him to become a psychic, which caused him to be directly distorted. In order to suppress the insatiable hunger, he finally attacked his wife and children."
"There was also a big man in the academic world who was bewitched when he was promoted, and thus gained some mysterious knowledge. In order to pursue this knowledge and the so-called truth, he conducted human experiments on his daughter and students. A sighing tragedy occurred."
"Turning a man who was willing to die for his family into an ogre who devoured his family. Turning a kind scholar into this paranoid monster. This is the influence of the power of the virtual realm."
Li Yelai was shocked when he heard it: "This Embers Church is really doing all kinds of bad things!"
At the same time, Li Yelai was also glad that he chose to join the official.
If he was a wild psychic and lost control and was not cleared up in the first time, then his sister didn't know what would happen. Eat? Sacrifice?
Li Yelai couldn't believe that he would do such a thing, but this is the distortion power of the virtual world.
Before being distorted, those psychics would not believe that they would do those things.
However, Mr. Shadow might not let himself be easily distorted by the virtual world, right?
It's hard to say, maybe Mr. Shadow just wants to distort himself.
Or I know too little about Him, so I have to find an opportunity to ask him questions.
Li Yelai asked again: "As a psychic of the Universal Path, do I need to take potions for the second awakening?"
Without using accurate potions, the abilities of psychics are randomly acquired when they are promoted.
Random!
Therefore, psychics of the same level will have very different strengths even if they have the same path.
Some handlers have extremely strong offensive capabilities.
For example, Xinghuo, once he became a psychic, he had extremely strong destructive power and became a human flamethrower.
Other psychics of the same path may have water source perception or auxiliary abilities such as electromagnetic interference.
Newcomers of the same path ended up with a big gap in combat power. Isn't it infuriating?
In order to avoid this situation, psychics need to take potions.
For example, Cheese, the first two awakenings were auxiliary abilities, and it was not until the third awakening that she used potions to gain offensive abilities, the Word Spirit.
Because she didn't dare to take the risk of looking at her luck, she could only spend merit points to buy potions.
"No. Our processing department doesn't have potions for the second awakening of the Universal Path." Yang Chen shook his head regretfully: "We only have the second awakening potions for the Divine Control Path and the Netherworld Path. There are no potions for the other paths, maybe some psychic families with a long history have them."
"For the third or fourth awakening of the Universal Path, I can arrange potions for you, and even prepare some materials for you. But there is really no way for the second awakening."
Before, Yang Chen fought with the captain of the furnace, in fact, to obtain a relatively rare material.
It can be used in the third or fourth awakening, which can be regarded as laying a good foundation for Li Yelai's awakening later.
"Captain Champion is biased!"
"That's right!"
"The captain is not kind!"
The team members present immediately pointed at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen grinned and scolded: "Who among you hasn't been helped by me!"
In fact, Yang Chen did spend a lot of energy to help Li Yelai. He even intended to let him take on more responsibilities.
But this time, Li Yelai can only rely on his own face.
Li Yelai nodded to Yang Chen gratefully: "Thank you, Captain, but this time. Although it is a matter of face, I am still awakening for the second time. There must be a rough range, right?"
"Virtual beast language, or mimicking the ability of some kind of animal. What's even rarer is mimicking the characteristics of some extraordinary creature. All things, all kinds of things, all kinds of things." Yang Chen thought about it: "Do you remember Captain Furnace? He is just like you, It’s the Path of All Things. The second awakening is to obtain the Mimic Scythe.”
Scythe is a small, extraordinary creature that lives in groups.
It has sharp fangs and claws, and a razor-sharp dorsal fin on its back. Once it rolls, it will turn into a dangerous circle of knives.
This extraordinary creature lives in the disaster restricted area, the Doomsday Forest. It is a native creature among them.
A single sickle may be at the lower end of the food chain, but once the number increases, thousands of sickles will turn their blades at the same time. It can even hunt down disaster beasts.
Captain Furnace gained the ability to mimic this creature at that time.
The limbs can be transformed into weapons at any time, which greatly enhances the melee combat capability.
There is no need to even prepare psychic weapons.
Li Yelai nodded after thinking: "I understand, but in the end it still depends on luck. What should I do now?"
"Sit quietly, meditate, and pass through the well of soul until you feel that you can pass through. When your consciousness reaches the virtual realm, you will succeed. Be careful during the process!" Yang Chen walked in with Li Yelai and others. In a small room full of observation windows in the branch.
The room was not big, but it was filled with various instruments that Li Yelai could not recognize.
Most of these are instruments that stabilize the user.
It also allowed the outside world to know exactly Li Yelai's physical condition.
"We will stay outside to protect you." Yang Chen asked Li Yelai to sit in the instrument and then exited the room.
Appear in the testing room outside the house.
"How long does it take to advance?" Li Yelai sat on the lounge chair in the middle and asked them.
"It's all possible." Yang Chen's voice came from the communicator on the wall of the room: "Some people will finish it in two minutes, and some people will take several days. During this period, we will always take care of you."
"Don't be nervous, don't respond to those calls, and don't be confused by illusions." Cheese reminded him again.
At this time, Cheese saw a frog doll appearing in the observation room at some point.
She was also holding a billboard in her hand.
[Come on, don’t be nervous, I’m here with you ψ(*`ー)ψ]
‘Dolls also come to guard him? When did this kid become familiar with dolls? ’
Cheese thought to himself, but didn't care and continued to look at Li Yelai. To prevent accidents.
In the room, Li Yelai closed his eyes and entered meditation.
Soon, his consciousness saw the well of his soul.
It was a passage projecting a bright starry sky, and my consciousness was located in the mist-filled space under the passage.
As long as you pass through the wellhead, you can reach under the starry sky and successfully advance.
Li Yelai thought to himself and tried to pass through the passage.
As soon as I entered the passage, I heard many noisy sounds.
Then, pictures appeared in front of his eyes.
Li Yelai saw himself sitting on a magnificent throne, with countless figures kneeling down towards him. It's like giving an order and exerting supreme power.
'That's bullshit, this wouldn't happen in my wildest dreams. ’ Li Yelai complained in his heart.
Then, there were countless gold and silver treasures, and it seemed that you could get everything by just asking.
‘Wow, that’s so fake! ’ Li Yelai sighed in his heart and continued to move forward.
After that, he saw beautiful girls wearing scantily clad clothes and smiling charmingly at him.
It seems that if you hook your fingers, they will take off their clothes.
Li Yelai even saw Cheese and Dolls, Heavy Cavalry and Shadow Liu among them, as well as many girls he had only met once.
‘You’re really not particular about it. I haven’t even experienced torture, so how come I fell into a beauty trap? ’ Li Yelai moved on.
Then, all the pictures disappeared, but he heard a voice.
"Your father cruelly abandoned you, causing your mother to die of illness, and you and your sister depended on each other. Don't you want to know where he is and what his fate is?" The voice was low and elegant: "You can see the answer if you look back. ”
Li Yelai paused. He really had the urge to look back and see where that bastard was now.
But reason made him stop his impulse and move on.
He was already close to the exit of the Well of Souls.
When he passed through the Well of Souls, he saw the starry sky. Some powerful force surged into the body.
He also saw Yang Chen, Cheese, Doll and others who were excited and excited.
Li Yelai smiled and suddenly made a sign.
‘Want to eat? ’
Everyone was surprised that the words "What's wrong, what does it mean[_?]" also appeared on the doll's billboard.
Everyone also looked at Li Yelai with puzzled faces.
Li Yelai sighed: "It's so insidious to do this!"
He knew that the doll had learned sign language before mastering billboard typing.
And if this doll doesn’t know sign language, then she is fake.
All this is false!
So, Li Yelai took a step forward again.
In a daze, he heard the laughter of 'Mr. Shadow'.
Then, all the hallucinations in front of him disappeared, and the real starry sky in the virtual realm appeared.
A force quickly poured into the body, making Li Yelai's physical body and spiritual energy become more powerful.
Li Yelai was successfully promoted. Second awakening!
