Chapter 428: Thirsty for Knowledge
Without the guidance of the chief, Luisa's exploration of her own abilities would have taken many detours, because in this primitive tribe in a wild state, everyone has developed and used their abilities savagely, and few people will develop in a refined direction, and others will not be able to put forward any constructive opinions at all.
When Luisa took off the linen gloves of her own volition, she had already made up her mind to strengthen the tribe, to make up for the loss of men the night before, and to prevent the powerful enemy lurking in the jungle from causing more victims.
She sealed her hands, in addition to not wanting to inadvertently catalyze a transcendent with terrifying abilities, another reason was that she relied on experience, knowing that every time she activated her ability, she would be so weak that she didn't even want to move her toes, that feeling was really uncomfortable, but now is a very moment, it's uncomfortable, it's better than the sisters of the tribe continuing to suffer more losses.
At this time, as if he saw her intentions, the chief walked up to her and said meaningfully: "Touch with your hands, feel with your hearts, we are all children of God, and the hand of God should be able to perceive more things." β
Luisa didn't understand much, and the chief didn't continue to explain, maybe it didn't work if she said it, or maybe the chief could only foresee her actions, but not her thought process.
She called a girl two years younger than herself to her side and asked, "Do you want to avenge your sister?"
One of the tribal hunters who died last night was the girl's own sister, she saw her sister turn into a murderous and bloodthirsty monster yesterday, and also bit another hunter in the tribe to death, and was finally killed by other tribe members, and she didn't even end up with a whole corpse, she cried so much that her tears dried and her voice was hoarse, if it weren't for other girls who didn't wake up, she would have rushed out of the tribe to avenge her sister right now.
The girl wiped her eyes, nodded heavily, and said hoarsely, "Yes!"
At that time, Luisa had not fully figured out her abilities, but based on her past experience, she guessed that awakening was often when she had violent mood swings, which was the case with both Layla and the girl who killed her father, so she chose this girl.
"Okay, maybe I can give you the power to take revenge. β
Luisa held out her hands and took the girl's hands.
Do you perceive it with your heart?
In the past two times, it was not only the people who had awakened their abilities who were emotional, but also Luisa herself, so she never felt anything in a subtle way.
She took the girl's hand and closed her eyes.
At first, she didn't feel anything, at most she felt that her fingers and the girl's fingers were sweating slightly.
Slowly, the hustle and bustle of the tribe gradually moved away from her, and she seemed to be immersed in absolute darkness, cut off from the outside world, and the only thing she could perceive was the girl's hands.
The lines of the girl's fingers and palms, the pulsations of the subtle arteries in the fingers, and even the occasional slight spasm of the girl's hand muscles caused by the tension were all felt through Luisa's own hands.
Luisa unconsciously adjusted the position of her finger so that the artery of her finger was close to that of the girl's finger, and the two tiny digital arteries were separated only by two thin layers of finger skin, and she believed that the girl should be able to feel her pulse.
Maybe after another ten or dozens of seconds, the pulse rate of the two people began to converge, and the rhythm of the heartbeat gradually synchronized, as if one heart was supplying blood to the two people at the same time.
In addition to the pulse, there was something more hidden that resonated, and she felt that it might resemble the existence of the so-called "qi" in the East.
In the past two crisis moments, Luisa didn't have time to think about anything, the "qi" in her body poured into the bodies of Layla and the father-killing girl like a flood, but this time she was calm, her consciousness pulled a wisp of "qi" along the girl's artery into her body, and then immediately felt the block, like an electric current meets a resistor, or the N pole of a magnet meets the N pole of another magnet.
If you push two magnets with the same pole together, when pushed closer to a certain distance, the one with less mass and weaker magnetism will be forced to flip, and the chrysanthemum will be against the other stronger magnet, as if giving in, and then the two magnets will snap together......
She could feel that the girl also had a "qi" similar to her in her body, and the two "qi" were testing each other, and finally merged together, sweeping every corner of the girl's body like a raging wave, and then it seemed that the concentration had reached a critical point, and the quantitative change caused the qualitative change, and the "qi" was ignited by a spark from the girl's brain.
Luisa and the girl opened their eyes in shock at the same time, they could both feel the upheaval in the girl's body, but this time the difference was that although Luisa was tired, at least she was not so tired that she was stuck on the ground like mud.
She seemed to understand that on the past two occasions she had released an excessive amount of "qi", hollowing out her self in exchange for the other party's instant awakening, which was understandable in an emergency, but also caused herself to be weak.
And this time, Luisa still released an excess of "qi", but the degree of overdose was still within an acceptable range.
On the contrary, theoretically, if she releases her "qi" on an awakened transcendent, she should simply enhance the opponent's strength, as if she is injecting more fuel into the opponent's engine.
I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, but the fierce enemy may have been afraid that the witchcraft tribe was ready, and since then he has not attacked them again, and has also deprived them of the opportunity for revenge.
At that time, the witchcraft tribe was not very visible, and in the world of the transcendental, it could only be regarded as a mysterious and indisputable medium-sized organization, which may not be in the eyes of some super powers, and even the possibility of deliberate temptation in order to grasp their strength is also possible.
In terms of combat strength on paper, the witchcraft tribes at that time were not much worse than other large organizations, but the problem was that the ability type was too single and not as diverse as other organizations, which was their biggest weakness.
The chief seemed to be able to foresee the wrong attempts that Luisa would make, and would stop her from exploring her abilities in the wrong direction every time, and the other members of the tribe were very cooperative with her, volunteering to act as her test subject whenever she wanted to test something.
Luisa gradually mastered the trick of her abilities, and she found that whether it was recharge or overload, that is, whether she released the ability to the awakened transcendents or the ordinary people who had not yet awakened, she would lose a large part of her strength, but these lost powers would slowly return to her body, and most of them would return within 24 hours, and the return speed would gradually decrease at first- Except in one case, the person whose abilities she unleashed died within a short period of time, such as the girl who killed her father, who died in a relatively short period of time because of her injuries that were too severe to be treated.
In addition, it may be an extra little easter egg, as long as her hands touch, she can judge the amount of source energy reserves in the opponent's body in this way, and under normal circumstances, this is directly proportional to strength.
Layla muttered to herself, "I see...... In a textbook for transcendent students in a school, it is said that the source energy is a very mysterious substance, and it has quantum properties to a large extent, that is, when no one observes, it will exist in the form of a probability cloud, theoretically appearing on the earth one second, and the next second may appear on the other side of the universe, so the person who is charged by you, even if he flies to the other side of the earth by plane after charging, still can't prevent the source energy that should belong to you from returning to your body......"
"Oh, and this kind of textbook?" asked Luisa, surprised and curious.
Her personal research and exploration are all wild ways to cross the river by feeling the stones, lacking the guidance of science theory, and she can't count on the help of tribesmen in this regard, otherwise it may be counterproductive, so when she heard that there is still a systematic teaching material for transcendent students, she can't help but yearn for it.
Layla nodded, "I got one when I first awakened my ability, and after reading it, I don't know where to throw it, it's not difficult to get another one, and this thing is not particularly secret, but I can only get the old version." β
"What do you mean?" Luisa didn't understand.
"This kind of textbook is only done by the Red Leaf Academy in the world, and it will be revised every year, so what can flow to the outside world is generally last year's version, but anyway, there are only changes in details. β
Layla thought to her cousin that it wouldn't be difficult to get her cousin to take a copy or photo of a textbook and bring it out, but she really didn't want to open it.
Luisa wanted to see the content of the textbook with her own eyes, but it was definitely impossible at the moment, so she had to ask regretfully, "What do you remember about the source energy?"
"I want to think about ......"
Layla is smart but doesn't like to learn, and if she doesn't want to know her secrets, she doesn't bother to turn to such boring textbooks.
"I don't remember exactly, but the so-called 'qi' you felt was ignited by a spark, it should be your misunderstanding, because according to the textbook, the source energy is not consumed in any known way, so what you feel is that the girl's consciousness and the source energy in her body are combined, anyway, consciousness is also a mysterious thing, and it is not strange that two mysterious and mysterious things are combined, right?" she replied from memory.
"That's right...... I thought source energy was a consumable like firewood......" Luisa snapped, and many of her previous beliefs were overturned.
"No, no, no, the textbook says that what is consumed is not the source energy, but your consciousness, your spirit, concentration, and physical strength, just like a highly stressful one-hour exam is much more tiring than watching a whole day. Layla explained.
Luisa frowned and digested her newfound knowledge for a while, then asked, "If it's like you say......"
"It's not what I said, it's what the textbook says, and it's not about me. Layla corrected.
Luisa smiled and changed her words: "Well, if as the textbook says, source energy is the state of probability clouds, which may appear in front of you and me, or at the end of the universe, then wouldn't the density of source energy on the earth be lower and lower?"
"This ...... I don't think so...... I want to think about what I said...... Atoms, you know, a nucleus, plus one or more electrons orbiting the nucleus, although the trajectory of the electron around the nucleus is often drawn like the trajectory of a planet around the sun, but in fact the electron is a probabilistic cloud state, which can theoretically appear near the nucleus or on the other side of the universe...... Although the position of the electron cannot be predicted, the probability of appearing near the nucleus of an atom is much greater than the probability of appearing on the other side of the universe, which is the origin of the 'probability cloud', otherwise it is only called a 'cloud', so why add the word 'probability'? Therefore, if the earth is regarded as an atomic nucleus, the probability of the source energy appearing near the surface of the earth is much greater than the probability of appearing on the other side of the universe, and this 'far greater' means 1 followed by you and I stand here and say 0 that I can't finish talking about all day...... So many times. β
The textbook also mentions that the source energy of the probability cloud state collapses when it is observed by its own consciousness, which is why the source energy can be guided by consciousness...... ProbablyβI mean, this is speculation about the old textbook, and it hasn't been confirmed, and I don't know if the new textbook has been changed. β
"When it comes to consciousness, it is more complicated, and consciousness includes human consciousness and animal consciousness, and even some things other than humans or animals may have some sense of consciousness...... I didn't understand these things when I first read them, and I can't explain them now. β
Layla is not good at explaining scientific knowledge to others, she struggles to speak, and the things she talks about probability clouds from memory are not entirely accurate, but fortunately, Luisa was quite serious when she used to go to school, and the teacher briefly mentioned some knowledge in this area when she learned about atoms, so after she combined the two, she basically understood.
But the more this happened, the more she longed for the textbook in Layla's mouth, in her opinion, it was like a shortcut to an endless treasure trove of knowledge, which could prevent her from taking many detours, and if she could learn the things thoroughly, maybe she could also guide the sisters of the tribe to develop their abilities more reasonably and effectively.
Many times, when the book is not used until the time it is used, Layla is a little afraid of Louisa's inquisitive gaze, because the little ink left in her stomach is about to be emptied.
However, at this time, someone helped her out, and her satellite phone rang just in time.
"Sorry, I'll take the phone, wait. β
She said to Luisa, took two steps to the side, and pulled the satellite phone out of the pocket of her hunting suit.
Seeing the name of the caller ID, she couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly scolded that Cao was here, why couldn't she help but chatter?
The caller was "Mobile Air Conditioner", which is the note she gave to Aurora's number.
It's really a rare thing that has not been encountered in a century, what did Aurora take the initiative to call her for?
