"The dead are transcendents of the flesh sequence."

In the cordoned off Golden Oriole's Tavern, the "Night Watch" organization and the special police of the Constantinople Police Department are studying the murder that happened here a few hours ago. Because the gunfire at the time of the incident was too high in decibels, many nearby residents thought it was a natural gas explosion, so the first to arrive at the scene was actually the Imperial Capital Fire Brigade.

"According to the investigation of the scene, the deceased was divided into four piles of flesh and blood, which were pressed against tables and chairs in the four corners of the room. Since no special ciphers or symbols have been found, the possibility of special rituals has been ruled out, and the murderer should have done so to prevent the dead from healing and resurrecting, which is also in line with the characteristics of Flesh II. ”

The police station's special section criminal police reported.

"Through DNA testing of the deceased, we found that the deceased was not a citizen of Constantinople, or even a citizen of the Eastern Solomonic Empire, but a smuggler who had entered the country illegally. In addition, 4 bullets were removed from within the walls of the site, consistent with the 4 loud noises reported by residents. The bullet model is 15.2mm, this caliber bullet is very powerful, and the recoil when shooting is also very strong, commonly known as 'elephant hunting bullet', which is not something that ordinary novice firearms can use. ”

"15.2mm ......," the night watch captain muttered, "shouldn't this be a sniper rifle bullet?" ”

"A very small number of pistol bullets also have 15.2mm bullets, which are called 'hand cannons' by gunners." SWAT added, "For example, the famous Imperial Eagle. ”

"I'll tell the Orthodox Economic Affairs Bureau to check it out." Captain Night's Watch said.

After a while, the results finally came out.

"Asker. Lepius. Achilles. The night watchman looked at the information sent by the church and sneered, "It turns out that the bitter lord himself has taken revenge, which is reasonable." ”

"Level0 killed Level2." The SWAT also said with emotion, "If it weren't for this person's crime, I really want to recruit him to join the Constantinople Police Department, we lack this kind of special talent who can use firearms against the transcendent." ”

"Who said he sinned?" The captain of the Night's Watch shook his head, "Look at the reply from the Hagia Sophia Church, they have filed with the church in advance, and they have reported a large number of vampires. The deceased who was killed this time should be the fish that slipped through the net of the criminals in the last incident, and the church has already posted a wanted list of bounties. In other words, Asker was the one who helped the church kill the fugitive, and the church had to pay him a bounty. ”

On the other side, at the entrance of Asker's ancestral home.

"Here's your bounty." The captain of the church paladin threw him a package with a bill, "All right, boy. Single-handedly killed a vampire? ”

"It's just a fluke." Asker said.

"It's not always good luck." The captain of the paladin nodded, "The next time you encounter a similar situation, it is recommended that you report to the church first." ”

"Understood." Asker nodded.

He closed the door, and the captain turned and walked down the steps, neither of them mentioning the deceased's extraordinary properties from beginning to end.

Walking around the corner, an agent emerges from the alley next to him.

"The identification aura shows that he is still level0." The spy reported to the captain of the paladon and said, "It's not a vampire, but there is indeed an undigested spiritual escape, it should be that it has broken the transcendent characteristics by mistake and absorbed the extraordinary power inside." ”

"It's more likely." "He doesn't have the extraordinary properties of Flesh I, and taking the potion of Flesh II directly will inevitably get out of control, not to mention that he will swagger back to his ancestral home." The surveillance eyeliner at the door will be on for another three days, and I will report back to the bishop himself. ”

In the ancestral house, Asker walked up the stairs to the study on the third floor. Pushing the door in, four women were sitting in four chairs, quietly waiting for him to return.

"I'm sorry, I went down to deal with a little personal matter just now, but now it's okay." Asker said.

"People from the church?" Medea asked, "I sense that the other party is very spiritual. ”

The others suddenly tensed. The attitude of the Eastern Solomonic Empire Orthodox Church towards the transcendent, although not as extremely hostile as the Western Solomonic See, is not much more friendly. Peggy, in particular, is ready to jump out of the window at any time when the situation is not good.

"It's sending me a bounty." Aske smiled and said, "As a reward for killing vampires." ”

"You've killed vampires?" Eleanor was stunned, she certainly knew how terrifying vampires could be. Nora stared at Peggy with strange eyes, wondering what the slain vampire had to do with Peggy.

"Don't talk about that." Asker changed the subject, "Since you're here, it means you've already decided, or are you going to become transcendental, right?" ”

"Yes." Nora and Eleanor said in unison.

Two ordinary people who want to be transcendental...... Medea stared at the two of them, her mind was in a hurry, and she suddenly laughed coquettishly:

"If you want to be a transcendent, I have the potion recipe for the Mind Sequence here."

"Mind sequence?" Nora asked excitedly, "What kind of ability is it?" ”

"Psychic I, which allows the transcendent to perceive the presence of nearby mental bodies." Medea said slowly, while Nora pulled out a pen and paper and quickly began to take notes, "At the same time, it also gives the transcendent the ability to communicate with nearby minds, which is the legendary telepathy. The transcendent can initiate or interrupt telepathy at any time without the consent of the other person's mental body. In telepathy, she can also exert a certain influence on the other party in a clever way. ”

"Excuse me, what is the mind body?" Nora looked up, her eyes glinting with curiosity.

"It's about secret knowledge, and knowledge isn't free." Medea hesitated, "Fifteen pounds." ”

15 pounds, which is equivalent to a year's salary for a middle-class family. I saw that Nora didn't blink her eyes, and immediately took out two bills from her wallet and quickly handed them to Medea.

Is this woman really unusually rich, and she can't look down on the price of 15 pounds? Or is it the character itself that spends money decisively and is willing to invest in extraordinary knowledge? Medea's mind moved slightly, but for a while she found that she couldn't see through the other party. If she could have the extraordinary characteristics of Conspiracy I, she would probably be able to see it clearly, she thought with some regret.

"Normal human beings can be divided into three layers, from the outside to the inside, which are the living body, the spirit body, and the mental body." Accepting the 15-pound bill, Medea explained, "The living body consists of the body and the soul. The spirit body is the soul in a broad sense, which includes the unconscious and the conscious. ”

"The unconscious refers to information stored in the non-cerebral cortex. For example, breathing. People don't breathe all the time, but have you ever deliberately maintained your breathing? The action of breathing is controlled by the cerebellum and does not need you to maintain it. Another example is the famous knee jerk reaction, where a tap on the knee causes the calf to bounce, which is stored in the nerves of the spinal cord, which are the unconscious parts of the spirit. ”

"As for consciousness, it's a product of the activity of the cerebral cortex, and this part is called the mental body, which is actually the existence of the self that you can be aware of. According to the occultist Sigmund Freud, the mental body, the ego, can be divided into three parts: the id, the superego, and the true self. ”

"The ego refers to the influence of the physical body on the mental body, for example, some people are born with genetic defects and are unable to secrete certain hormones, which causes them to be easily irritable and out of control. This irritable personality belongs to the id, which is brought about by the innate flesh. ”

"The superego refers to the influence of education and environment, for example, children are repeatedly intimidated that the outside world is dangerous, and when they grow up, they form a conservative and timid character, which is a part of the superego."

"If you remove the parts of the id and the superego from the ego, the rest is the true self. The true self is at the heart of the most mysterious part of the mind, and no one has yet studied its origin. Freud's apprentice Carl Jung mentioned in The Theory of Psychodynamics that the true self is the quality that best represents you. If the person dies, the ego remains in the corrupt flesh, the superego sinks into the sea of the collective subconscious, and the true self disappears. Freud suspected that the true self was some kind of higher-dimensional mapping, and returned to the higher-dimensional plane after the death of the human. ”

"I've heard that there are some undead sequences with extraordinary abilities that can resurrect the dead?" Nora asked curiously, "But the Holy See of Solomon said that the resurrected dead are not the original dead, and this is because there is no true self?" ”

"That's right." Medea nodded and said, "The simple resurrection ability of the undead, the corpse evoked only has the existence of the self, and the manifestation of the undead is muddy and has no mind. Some family members will ask the high-order psychic ability to retrieve the deceased's superego from the collective subconscious and put it into the corpse, so that the deceased can have the same reason and memory as before he was alive, and be able to talk and communicate with others. ”

"But because of the loss of their true self, the deceased is not aware of their death, so they have no emotion or spirituality, and it is easy for them to fall into madness over time, or to be occupied by other spirits with malicious intentions," Medea finally said, "There have been several famous tragedies in the Quaternary Age, where the deceased family resurrected the deceased and put them at home to continue their lives, but in the end the mad deceased killed the entire family. ”

Nora shuddered, and creepy sensations creeped up her spine. Still, she overcame her fears and quickly jotted down the knowledge of her mind and body in her notebook.

"So, if you take the potion of Mind I, you can affect the mind and body of others?" Nora continued.

"That's right." Medea nodded, "But I only have the formula for Mind I, and the combination of the higher-level Mind Potion recipe and other sequences will have to be found by yourself." ”

"Oh." Nora let out a confused sigh, suddenly remembered something, looked at Asker and said, "Mr. Asker, do you have any suggestions in this regard?" ”

"Transcendents go from level 0 to 10, and each time they take a potion, their level rises by one level." Asker advised, "Potions of different sequences will basically clash with each other, causing loss of control and mutation. Therefore, your first Potions sequence needs to be carefully chosen, as it determines which other Potions you can take in the future, and what final bloodline will be generated at level 10. I suggest that you choose the final bloodline first, and then choose the corresponding potion according to the bloodline route. ”

"It's ideal." Medea sneered and interrupted him, "Actually, the complete bloodline route is only in the hands of a few secret transcendent organizations, except for the Solomonic Church in the East and West. Unless you are a child of some ancient transcendent family, how can you be able to access the complete bloodline route at the level 0 stage of an ordinary person? ”

"My advice is to start by choosing a potion sequence that you like the most. Once you have become the corresponding Transcendent, look for the bloodline route that contains this sequence, as well as the corresponding other potions sequences. You know, many people don't even have a chance to pick a sequence for the first time, they can only choose to grasp the only straw and become transcendent first, even if the only potion recipe in their hand is not what they like. ”

Aske smiled but didn't say a word. That's true for you NPCs, but you don't know the power of the player forums.

"Mr. Asker." Seeing that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, Nora seemed to understand something, and immediately asked tentatively, "Do you have a complete bloodline route in your hand?" ”
