Chapter 40: Fear Descends (8)
Tang Wu picked up her mobile phone and looked at the time, and said, "In less than an hour, these two guys drank to death?" You okay? ”
With the help of Tang Wen, Huang Rui helped the two guys to the sofa next to her, returned to her seat, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't worry about them, you can't die...... Awakened people usually have a lot of pressure, and there's nothing wrong with relaxing once in a while. "Like Lu Zhi, he just likes to eat some food and drink some "water of life", which is nothing at all. It's Lin Mu, who has been suppressing his heart, not as open-minded as Lu Zhi, and this time he was poured a glass of high wine, maybe he can really relax, which is a good thing.
"Awakened ......," Tang asked tentatively, "It's dangerous?" ”
"It's very dangerous, fighting to the death with ghosts, any small negligence may bring about a catastrophe, of course it's very dangerous...... In addition, there is one more ......" Huang Rui paused, considering what these Tang Sisters originally knew, and the sooner they knew, the better, and asked: "Tang Aunt, what do you think the Awakened One has awakened?" ”
Is this an important question? Tang Wu was stunned for a moment, guessed and replied, "It should be the potential of people who awakens, right?" ”
"You're not wrong in saying that." Huang Rui pushed the orange juice aside, picked up a bottle of cold fresh beer, took a big sip, and said bitterly: "Tang Wu, many of the supernatural events in this world are caused by powerful ghosts, and people turn into ghosts after death, which means that ghosts originally belong to people, belong to a part of people, and everyone has ghosts in their hearts. Those of us who are awakened are the ghosts in our souls. ”
In this world, there is a certain chance that a person will turn into a ghost after death, and a ghost will have a certain chance to turn into a powerful ghost full of killing desire and destructive ability. After the outbreak of the supernatural event, the first chance has not changed much, but the second chance has increased, and now the newborn weak ghosts, that is, ordinary ghosts, are very likely to become powerful ghosts, and the ability of powerful ghosts has become extremely powerful, and a few powerful ghosts even have the ability to rule, and they must find rules to solve them, and they can't deal with them at all.
In addition, there is another chance in this world: people are not dead, they have not turned into ghosts, and the ghosts that are still in people's hearts have turned into powerful ghosts, which is the so-called "awakening". It is the ghosts in people's hearts that are awakened, not the people themselves, and this kind of person is called the awakened person.
"Everyone has a ghost in their hearts...... Tang Wu guessed, "is it obsession?" ”
Huang Rui nodded and said: "It can be understood that the ghosts in people's hearts are a kind of obsession, and people with strong obsessions are more likely to turn into ghosts after death." But the strength of the obsession has nothing to do with whether it awakens or not, it is just a matter of probability, the obsession is very small, and even people with a peaceful state of mind may awaken. However, whether the obsession is strong or not is related to the ability after awakening, and the stronger the obsession, the stronger the strength after awakening. ”
Worried that Tang Wu misunderstood and drilled the tip of the bull's horns, thinking that only people with strong obsessions can have strong power, Huang Rui specially explained: "Whether the obsession is strong or not is only related to the initial strength after awakening. Most of the Awakened only have an F rank at the beginning, but some people with particularly strong obsessions have E-rank strength immediately after awakening. But you don't have to worry, once awakened, it is actually very simple to improve your strength, and often only F-level awakened people can gradually improve their strength and go further at the beginning, while many awakened people who have E-level strength at the beginning have become paranoid madmen, and they will go to self-destruction if they don't last for a few years. ”
"Captain, are you saying it's easy for the Awakened to improve their strength?" Tang Yu asked in disbelief.
"Yes, it's easy for the Awakened to improve their strength." Huang Rui smiled, then retracted her expression, and said solemnly, "But easy, doesn't mean there is no risk." In fact, the Awakened need to take a lot of risks to increase their strength. ”
After listening to Huang Rui's explanation, Tang Wu understood what was going on. Speaking of which, the method of the Awakened to increase their strength is indeed simple, they only need to devour the ghosts. But if you swallow it directly, it will not only fuse the power of the ghost, but also absorb the powerful negative emotions of the ghost, this extreme and paranoid emotion is not something that a person can bear at all, and the ghost in the body is easy to get out of control. Once the awakened person gets out of control and the ghost in the body is completely revived, not only will the person die, but the ghost in the body will get out of trouble, which will cause another disaster.
Because of such a big risk, the Awakened can only slowly increase their strength in another way - taking Soul Candy.
“…… Soul candy was developed by our supernatural research laboratory, it is a relatively pure power, there are not so many negative emotions in it, and it is a great contribution made by the laboratory to the entire human race. Huang Rui said proudly.
Unlike Huang Rui, who had a proud face, Tang Wu thought of another question: "Captain, can only the Xuan Soul Candy be made in our laboratory?" ”
"yes." Huang Rui nodded and said.
Monopoly, and it is a monopoly of such an important material, the supernatural research laboratory is not simple! The wealth is moving, with such an important and key technology in hand, the supernatural research laboratory has not been swallowed up by other strengths, the strength must be very strong, and the weak can't keep the good things in their hands at all.
Noticing a trace of greed flashing in Tang Wu's eyes, Huang Rui warned: "No matter how gentle it is, the Soul Candy is also a product of powerful ghosts, and it is impossible not to be dangerous. Even I, for the sake of insurance, can only take one soul candy a month, and if I really have to eat too much, it will also cause the revival of the ghosts in my body. ”
"Well, I know, thank you, Captain." Tang Wu took a sip of the juice and asked, "Captain, do we awakened people have any cultivation methods?" "In Tang Wu's opinion, the Awakened have existed for several years, and have formed such a powerful organization, not to mention how sophisticated, they have always figured out some superficial cultivation methods, right?
"How to practice?" Huang Rui frowned slightly and said, "No, the Awakened don't have any systematic cultivation methods, but there are two more general paths. It's very simple for the awakened to improve their strength, just take the Soul Candy, and the trouble is to suppress the riot of the powerful ghosts in the body. One is to fight poison with poison, and suppress the riot of the ghost with strong willpower, which is characterized by fast progress, but it is too rigid and easy to break, not very stable, once the mentality fluctuates, it is easy to cause the ghost in the body to lose control. Another way is to find a way to resolve it, the methods are different, learning theology, reading philosophical classics, fishing, drinking tea and other self-cultivation, you can do it, this method is relatively safe, but the progress is very slow. Under normal circumstances, the awakened are two in parallel, on the one hand, they must be suppressed by willpower, and if they are usually fine, they will cultivate their self-cultivation more. ”
Tang Wu nodded and said, "That's it...... By the way, the Soul Candy is exchanged for points, right? ”
Huang Rui nodded and said, "Yes, take in an E-class ghost, bring it back to the laboratory, hand it in, and you can get a hundred points." "F-level ghosts are twenty points, D-level ghosts are five hundred points, and C-level and above are not something that Huang Rui's team can deal with.
"E-class ghost...... How strong? "Tang Wu needs to make an estimate of the difficulty of the supernatural events in this world.
Huang Rui said: "Remember the lunch box you encountered when we first met, right? It's an E-class ghost. F-level ghosts, ordinary people can resist a little with their inner bravery and strong qi and blood, such as escaping, facing E-level ghosts, ordinary people who have not awakened are powerless to fight back, and must be dealt with by the awakened. ”
"How many Soul Candy can you exchange for one hundred points?" Tang asked asked.
"One."
"One?"
"yes, just one." Huang Rui comforted, "Don't worry, our squad is too weak to deal with ghosts above the D level, but if we are E and F grades, our own strength is enough, we don't need to exchange for any powerful equipment, and the points earned from daily tasks are enough to exchange for Soul Candy." ”
Huang Rui is a D-level awakened person, and he can only take one soul candy a month, while Lin Mu and Lu Zhi are E-level awakened people, and one soul candy can last for three months. In other words, their squad solves two or three less dangerous E-class supernatural events every month, and the points are enough. Even if a newcomer Tang Wu is added, the cost will not be too big.
"How's your spirit lately, okay?" Huang Rui asked.
Soul candy has a special attraction to ghosts, and when she met Tang Wu for the first time, Huang Rui took out a soul candy to lure the ghost doll released by Tang Wu, wanting to stimulate its ability, but she didn't expect the speed of the doll to be so fast, and she directly ate a soul candy.
One hundred points are gone, of course, it is very distressing, but Huang Rui is more worried that Tang Wu, who has just awakened, will there be any problems if she rashly eats a whole Xuan Soul Candy. During this time, Huang Rui would call Tang Wu every day to ask her about her mental condition, such as whether she had nightmares, hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, etc.
"It's fine." Tang Yu smiled and said, "That Soul Candy is not eaten by me, it is eaten by the ghost doll, most of the power is stored in its body, and it is slowly digested, there is nothing wrong with my own soul." ”
Of course, this is perfunctory, as a trialist, Tang Wu's soul is much stronger than these awakened people who are alienated by ordinary people, a mild Xuan Soul Candy is directly digested, and because of this, Tang Wu urgently needs to get more points.
