Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Realm of Abilities
Magnolia's nights are very cold, and if the usual magnolia still has the softness unique to the south, then once it is night, the magnolia will slowly show his cold side. If you don't wear a down jacket, or wear a little less, as long as the wind blows, you will be shivering from the cold. The cold wind has always forgotten to drill in the bone marrow, cold to the bone, cold to drill the heart.
But no matter how cold the weather in Magnolia is, even if he stands naked in the North Pole, he will not catch up with his current coldness. He was frightened by the sloppy middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Floating in the air, it seemed that the whole world had suddenly become a lot stranger. The same air, the same cold wind, the same time, but he felt that the air was like dirt now, firmly binding him, even if it was an unrestrained wind, it became heavy, stopped in the air, motionless. At this time, don't say it's hands-on, even the blink of an eye has become a luxury.
Fortunately, although the body is directly restrained, at least it can breathe, otherwise there is no need to use your hands at all, as long as the time is smooth, Wu Ling is very sure that he will be suffocated to death.
"Tsk, it's still comfortable to look like this, children's families, why are you so angry!" As if he was very satisfied with his movements, the sloppy middle-aged man nodded and said a few words of appreciation.
"What's the matter, aren't you going to do it!" After a minute, the middle-aged man asked Wu Ling.
With such a big gap, Wu Ling had no choice but to nod his head. But he only remembered at this time that he was still bound in the air, and it was impossible to nod his head.
But the middle-aged man seemed to sense Wu Ling's thoughts, and with a little effort, the environment around Wu Ling returned to normal, and there was no abnormal air, and Wu Ling fell directly from the air.
Probably because of the temporary discomfort, Wu Ling couldn't help but stumble when he fell, his feet were crooked, and he quickly took a step forward before he stood firm. And after standing firmly, Wu Ling was less than two meters away from his sloppy middle age, and if he had a sword in his hand, it would only be the distance between his arm and the sword.
It's just that maybe it was intentional, maybe it was unintentional, Wu Ling's standing posture always maintained the best attack posture, and although the dagger in his right hand hung down, it was not sheathed. If there was someone who cultivated the sword technique present at this time, he would definitely find that Wu Ling's gesture of holding the dagger was directly a killing move in the sword technique.
It's strange if you don't do it, it's just that now you have to find an opportunity!
"Who are you!" Wu Ling asked this question again, the answer he wanted to know the most now.
"Who am I?" The middle-aged man may not have noticed Wu Ling's actions, or he didn't care about it, the gap is too big, and it is not something that some moves can make up for at all. Holding a cigarette, clasping his hands to his chest, and rubbing his chin with his thumb unconsciously, the middle-aged man seemed to be recalling who he really was.
After thinking for a while, the middle-aged man's expression lit up, his hands waved up and down, and he said excitedly: "I remember who I am, I am the most benevolent and kindest old man in the Alien Ability Realm, Wu Yan!" ”
"The Realm of Abilities?" Wu Ling ignored the person named Wu Yan in front of him, boasting about himself. Being able to ignore the corpse not far away, and even watching the two of them fight to the death, no matter how you look at it, there is no way to put the words kindness and mercy.
"Well, it looks like his head is still very clear, and he can grasp the key points, and he really deserves to be the person I fancie!" Wu Yan was very satisfied with the words proposed by Wu Ling and nodded.
But looking at Wu Ling's curious gaze, Wu Yan couldn't help but fan the air in front of him, and then said: "I can explain it to you, but I don't want to be here, the smell of blood is too strong, and the benevolent old man doesn't like it here!" Let's go, take you to a place, let's talk slowly! ”
As he spoke, he didn't care about Wu Ling's thoughts, turned around and walked towards the outside of the woods.
Looking at the back of Wu Yan leaving, Wu Ling gritted his teeth, thought for a while, and still followed. It can be seen from the weird fixation of himself in the air just now that there is still a big gap between him and this person named Wu Yan, and this gap is not only manifested in strength, but also in what he has seen and heard.
For example, he doesn't know anything about the other party now, but Wu Ling is very sure that the other party must have a deep understanding of himself, otherwise he wouldn't have so many comparisons in his speech, which is the situation before and after he came into contact with the battle.
If you say something unpleasant, if the other party wants to kill you, then you may not even be able to resist a look from the other party, and the gap has reached this level, and there is no need to be vigilant.
And Wu Ling is also quite curious about the ability realm in the other party's mouth, although it is only three simple words, but because of the awakened one, the sword technique, Wu Ling can be very sure that this parallel space is absolutely different from some places on the original earth, such as this more mysterious ability realm.
Now such a mysterious place is slowly opening the door to him, whether it is to unseal the space, or to know himself and the enemy, this time he must go. If he misses this time, when will there be a chance next time, or if there is any chance, Wu Ling has no way to be sure.
One last glance at Luo Jun's corpse, which was already stiffened, Wu Ling quickly followed Wu Yan's footsteps. He knew that after tonight, a mysterious place was going to open its doors to him.
At the edge of the forest, Wu Yan was leaning against a small tree and smoking, and the white smoke slowly drifted away in the setting sun, as if to cover up the last sunset.
"Before I answer for you, answer my question!" Wu Yan turned his head, his face was no longer the same joke as before, and he asked Wu Ling with a serious smile, "How does it feel to kill someone for the first time?" ”
"Not bad, isn't it?" Looking at the white palm, Wu Ling said what he thought, but he didn't say his truest feelings.
Not only is it good, after the killing, he did not have the so-called vomiting, nor the so-called sadness, but a sense of control spontaneously arose, and even a faint excitement in his heart, the excitement after the killing.
"Anything else?" Wu Yan continued to ask.
"It was an amazing feeling. It's like, once upon a time, I lived in a huge cage, safe but restricted at every turn. Now, all of a sudden, it seems to have been freed from the cage, although there is no cage defense, and you can only face the dangers of the outside world by yourself, but this sense of freedom. Wu Ling paused, "It's very comfortable." ”
"Ha, sure enough!" Hearing Wu Ling's answer, Wu Yan took a deep breath and said with a slight mockery.
Wu Ling didn't know who Wu Yan was talking about, either laughing at him or laughing at others, he didn't know, so he didn't speak.
"But yes, for a lot of people, we're not ordinary people. Having strength stronger than ordinary people, but being required to live a weak life, this is a shackle in itself! But do you think it's a burden, a shackle? Without looking at Wu Ling, Wu Yan asked lightly.
"Burden?" Wu Ling was stunned for a moment, the faces of his parents sounded in his mind, and he also remembered the home that was not too big, but happy.
Shaking his head: "I don't think it's a burden, no matter what kind of power you have, if you can't protect the people you want to protect, then what's the use of power!" ”
"Haha...... Guarded? I love your answer! Hearing Wu Ling's answer, Wu Yan laughed out loud, this smile had a hint of regret, but more of a relaxation and joy. Little guy, then from now on, you must remember this goal to the death, and never forget it! ”
Wu Ling nodded, he understood that he had now passed the test of the mysterious person in front of him.
"Okay, before I talk about my purpose, then let me tell you about the power we have now!"
This is the information that Wu Ling wants to know the most now, he is now sure that there is a mysterious power hidden in this world, whether this power is good or evil, but if he wants to protect the family well, he must integrate into it and become stronger.
"The so-called supernatural person, in fact, is also very simple, it is a part of the human race that has awakened a certain ability, in ancient times, it was called a demon, a heretic, a wizard, a devil, and so on. But in reality, we are just a group of slightly different human beings. In essence, it is not much different from other human beings, but it has the power that ordinary people do not have. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Yan glanced at Wu Ling, and saw that the other party also nodded slightly, and then he continued with satisfaction: "Because of the different levels, the ability levels are roughly divided into eight levels, gfedcbas!" And those who have just acquired the ability, we generally call them the Awakened, and the Awakened ability can only mean that you have crossed the door of F-level power. And an ordinary person, who does not have any talent, just relies on special forces trained for many years, and his actual combat power is also G-level. So, don't take any opponent lightly because of an ability. At this stage, we are all still very vulnerable. A bullet, a knife, can easily kill us. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Yan's tone was quite serious. Over the decades, he'd seen too many people who were arrogant because of their ability awakenings, and who saw ordinary people as ants. However, they didn't know that the newly awakened ability was not yet powerful, and even a head-on battle could be defeated, not to mention that there were various means. Especially in the modern era of firearms, a single gun can easily take out all abilities below E-level.
Wu Ling nodded, he agreed with Wu Yan's statement. It's not ancient now, if it's ancient times, with his current physical fitness, it's a little more likely that he will have ten thousand enemies. But in modern times, let alone 10,000 enemies, if you fight with the army, he can't fight a class. Seven or eight guns were swept away, and he was seriously injured if he didn't die.
Not to mention that there are more powerful weapon deterrents, which emerge too quickly and die faster.
