"You can choose any rune card as a reward:"
As soon as he returned to the mist, Cha Xiu heard a series of messages bombarded and three cards appeared in front of him.
The card on the left has a dark blue pattern engraved on the back;
The card in the middle has a blood-red pattern engraved on the back;
The card on the right has a light red pattern engraved on the back.
Cha Xiu secretly felt that he was misled by the task system - the task reward he saw at the beginning was 'an optional rune', and Cha Xiu thought that he could identify the most cost-effective rune from more than three runes to be selected, but he didn't expect it to be a blind selection.
Although it is not completely blind, the color of the pattern on the back of the card represents the faction of the rune, which means that Tea Xiu can choose either the dark blue rune or the red blood rune.
Among them, the crimson cards are divided into light red and blood red, and according to normal logic, light red is most likely the basic rune, and dark red is the advanced rune.
If he could know the details of the runes, Cha Xiu might still think about it seriously, but since the so-called 'optional' is only a limited choice, Cha Xiu naturally doesn't want to do so much, and can choose directly according to the needs.
Almost all of them in the four-person squad have life-saving skills, and there is no need for dark blue runes for the time being, but there is a need for red blood runes - offense is the best defense.
Especially for Tea Repair, his only output ability at the moment is the "Lightless Shield", once the Lightless Shield cools down or sacrifices his name, he returns to his essence - to be a wet nurse.
In the red blood runes, there is no doubt that the priority of the basic runes is higher than the advanced runes. Advanced runes may not be applicable, but the basic runes can be used by anyone.
After thinking for only two or three seconds, Cha Xiu chose the light red card on the right.
"You obtained the rune 'Frost' (team warehouse)."
Tea Repair: "......"
Anyway, this rune is indeed a basic rune, but it is a more popular kind.
It's the kind where you can see someone live on Douyin and Station B.
It is not yet known what factors affect the type of runes they awaken by those psykers who randomly awaken runes. But according to the show-off videos on the Internet, the 'fire' and 'frost' runes should be the two most mainstream awakening runes.
Of course, this is not to say that these two runes are too weak.
There are no weak runes, only weak psionics.
How to obtain runes, and how to use them, is always the subject of lifelong learning for psionics. Tea Xiu once looked at a TOP10 psionic energy collection, and found that someone could displace, solidify the flame and turn it into a weapon through explosive flames, etc., Tea Xiu would like to call him the flame master, and the flame master's unique skill is enough to face any dilemma.
But reality is always a bit unbalanced, after all, 'fire' and 'frost' have always been superpowers in human fantasy, and they are also the most common sources of destruction in reality, so these two types of runes are easier to target and defend against.
Among other things, the world's most advanced body armor today tends to use flame-retardant fabrics and insulating fabrics, which means that it is difficult for Flame Frost Psykers to harm professional soldiers wearing body armor unless they are capable of their real names.
'Real names' can override reality, and in the face of real-name level flames, body armor is no different from a gasoline pack. But the 'runes' are still limited by reality and restrained by the laws of physics.
So-so...... Cha Xiu turned off the "Quest Interface" and saw that the Bamboo Fairy and the Ghost had returned, and he raised a hand to indicate silence:
"Wait a minute, Catwoman."
A minute later, Catwoman also returned, and Chaxiu said, "Nexus escaped, and I destroyed her coordinates, so the mission is complete." Nexus has three traits: Infinite Strength, burrowing into other people's bodies and exploding, and Blacken, which is immune to all psionic attacks and increases attack speed. β
Shiluda then said: "I have lost both with the red-armored samurai Kushiro, and Kuroshiro has three skills worth noting: the 'Dream Sword' that automatically counters all attacks, the 'Goldenfinch King Sword' that turns golden and slashes out a wave of phoenix qi that can force psionics into the air, and the 'Whisher Knife', which uses itself as the center radius and blooms sword qi to destroy everything around him. β
Cha Xiu and Xi Luda were very experienced in summarizing the battle, and You Zhuxiao and Cai Junyan couldn't help but glance at each other.
You Zhuxiao smiled awkwardly and raised his hand towards the ghost sister, indicating that you come first, you come first.
She didn't know that she would have to do a sudden spot check on her speaking homework when she returnedβbut it was the first time they had done it separately. The fact that the captain and Catwoman are so skilled shows that exchanging combat information with each other is the work ethic of the members of the Nether Society.
Cai Junyan didn't give up this opportunity to perform, she pondered for a moment and then said: "We are inseparable from Dark Fear, and Dark Fear shows three abilities:
Time rewind, which rewinds the body to a time when it was not yet injured, but only seems to be able to go back 2 seconds ago;
After the attack is delayed, after he performs a physical attack, his clone will perform another unstoppable illusory attack within three seconds, and about one attack will be triggered once in six attacks;
Mad Mask, his helmet will suddenly turn blood red, and his attack speed will be greatly increased, during which he should not be able to rewind time, but there is still a chance to trigger the attack delay. β
When Cai Junyan finished speaking, You Zhuxiao was stunned.
"Sister Ghost, how do you see so many details of the battle?" Her tone was full of admiration.
You Zhuxiao could see the skills of time rewind, attack delay, and crazy mask, but she didn't pay attention to other details at all, after all, it was a fierce battle of life and death.
However, what the ghost said, 'no matter whether you win or lose', the water is actually very large - in fact, just now, the two of them were beaten by Dark Fear and other Heavenly Demons all the way. They were all about to be killed, and You Zhu laughed as miserably as if he had participated in Chainsaw Horror, and the ghost also destroyed the sword, and in a few seconds he should have sent his own projection blood.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the mission ended, and the two were summoned back to the misty clock, successfully maintaining a record of 0 deaths.
Cha Xiu looked at Cai Junyan and suddenly asked, "Confidant reflex?" β
"Yes." Cai Junyan replied honestly.
She was able to obtain so much useful information about Dark Fear, not by her own observations, but by the help of the Runes of 'Reflection' and 'Confidant'.
These two runes allow her to automatically obtain and update enemy skill intelligence during battle, which is equivalent to a psionic plug-in that collects enemy data for analysis, as if fighting with an auto-assist plugin. In layman's terms, that's WOW's big feet, FF14's ACT.
"Is there anything else you would like to add?" Tea Xiu looked at You Zhu and smiled.
ββ¦β¦ Maybe it's my delusion. You Zhuxiao hesitated for a moment and said, "After I was attacked by him once, I found that I seemed to 'stop' for a while. β
Hiluda repeated: "Stopped? β
You Zhuxiao explained, "That is, in the blink of an eye, I noticed that the ghost teleported to the front, and the positions of the Dark Fear and the Heavenly Demon also changed, but I didn't see the process of their movement. β
Cha Xiu nodded noncommittally: "Is the power of time ......?"
He tapped the stone table with his knuckles and said calmly, "The rune you want is already on paper. β
As always, three blank sheets of paper were laid out in front of Xiluda, You Zhuxiao, and Cai Junyan.
At this time, Cha Xiu continued, "You also really feel the power of your true name tonight. If you continue to follow the information provided by Nether and perform achievement quests to obtain runes, then you will continue to combine other real names. β
You Zhuxiao and Cai Junyan naturally knew the power of their real names, if they didn't both have real names, they would have been knocked to death by the secret fear.
More runes, more real names......
"The conditions of the Nether Society are always impossible to refuse." Cai Junyan responded politely.
"Can I request the effect of my next real name?" You Zhu smiled and asked, "For example, I don't have to sleep, I don't get fat no matter how I eat, or I have good luck......
How dare you ask...... Cai Junyan was slandered in her heart, but the captain said, "You can ask for it." β
"Really!?" You Zhu smiled.
Cha Xiu said: "But if Nether accepts your request, I don't know." β
When you want to accept it, you accept it yourself, and when you want to refuse, you push the pot to the unknown existence Nether, do you use Nether as a rag...... Hiluda held back a smile and said, "When your real name and runes become more and more, you will find that your wish has been granted without realizing it. β
"Will there be a rune that does not sleep and does not fat......" You Zhu smiled and sighed, and suddenly asked: "By the way, Nexus has already escaped, so tomorrow's Longmen Heavenly Ceremony ......"
Tea Xiu replied: "It should not be held." β
You Zhu smiled and blinked: "Then how will the official explain ......?" β
"The headline was 'Nex assassinated by a mysterious organization,' and then a couple of us were on international arrest warrants, something like that." "But we're all using false faces, so wanted doesn't mean anything to us," Hiluda said. β
Everyone nodded, then glanced at You Zhu and smiled.
You Zhu smiled and tilted his head, and said 'um' suspiciously: "What's wrong?" β
Although Zhuxian used the face of a big star, it shouldn't have much effect...... Cha Xiu asked calmly, "Do you mind this?" His actions were slandered as assassinations, and the avatar of his projection was wanted. β
While Cha Xiu himself doesn't mind what humans think, he's not sure if others will.
Xiluda and Cai Junyan both shook their heads, and You Zhuxiao's voice was even a little excited: "I'm looking forward to it!" β
Make headlines!
Wanted!
Oh my God, isn't this the glorious moment that You Zhuxiao dreamed of!
And she doesn't have to pay any price, back to reality, she is still a good girl You Zhuxiao, and every Saturday she transforms into a beautiful girl thief...... That's cool!
Tea Xiu found that he was overthinking, he thought about it for a while, and said, "By the way, Nex once said something like this......"
He told the story that the earth is a prison, humans are prisoners, and the heavenly demons are jailers, and everyone feels as if they are listening to the story.
You Zhu smiled and blinked: "What did she say...... Is it true? β
"Assuming that what she said is true, there are still many doubts." Tea Xiu said, "Why did they come to purify the earth and open the prison? Why did Kuroshiro not show the appearance of 'restoring the memories of the celestials', but was bound by the samurai life of the previous life? What is the true purpose of the Heavenly Demons? β
"I'm just an ordinary Captain of the Nether team, I can't judge the truth for you, I can only tell you the information. As for right and wrong, you can consider for yourselves. β
"The only thing I'm sure of, from beginning to end, is only one thing."
Cha Xiu poked his finger at the stone table and pointed to the clock on his head.
"We're in the Nether Society, and as long as we complete the mission, we can get rewards."
"Whether or not you hear something like 'world truth' in the future, just remember that."
"Anything can be fake, but the reward is real."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The Longmen Police Headquarters was still brightly lit until the early hours of the morning.
"Report sir, seven witnesses have completed their physiognomy reproduction."
Commissioner of Police Liu Jiehui stopped analyzing the case, nodded, turned his head sideways to the middle-aged man next to him and said, "Chief Chen, please." β
As the most senior leader of the Longmen Police Department, Liu Jiehui still has to call the person next to him as a chief, which is enough to show that Longmen is still under the complete control of Xuanguo.
The two came to the information department, and Liu Jiehui glanced at the seven people sitting inside: two Xuanguo, two Federation, and three Europeans. But nationality doesn't matter, they have to obediently reproduce what they see - they can't even refuse, and the few psionic beings brought by Chief Chen happen to have the ability to induce spirits.
On the computer, there are four photos, three women and one man.
"These seven reporters are Nexus's observers, and that's what they remember the attackers to look like." "It's a pity that all the filming equipment can't record their real appearance, and all the pictures they have appeared in, their faces and bodies are covered by black mosaics, which we suspect is an optical shielding psychic ability," Liu Jiehui said. β
"Also, the attacker didn't just show up tonight, someone called the police a few days ago, and people like this with their own optical shield have attacked Nex's subordinates several times. We had pursued it before, but we couldn't find any clues, and we didn't know until today......"
Chief Chen said, "I only knew that they were using spatial teleportation to carry out decapitation tactics. β
Spatial teleportation, decapitation tactics.
No one understands the meaning of these two terms better than they police.
Organizations with this precise spatial teleportation capability are equivalent to their ability to place any bomb anywhere.
They are like the sword of Damocles, hovering over everyone's head.
Thankfully, this mysterious organization is targeting these extraterrestrial visitors.
However, no one knows what other purpose this mysterious organization has.
Once the space teleportation ability of this mysterious organization is in the hands of any nuclear-armed state......
Then the earth will go straight to the age of unity.
In the face of visitors from different planes such as Nex, Xuanguo and Longmen can still confidently control the overall situation.
However, after the mysterious organization surfaced, their self-confidence had evaporated.
Hostile?
Fools are hostile to this mysterious organization.
Ally?
Of course, if you want to form an alliance, even if you can't get their space teleportation ability, you can't let other countries get it!
In the final analysis, this is actually a grudge between a mysterious organization and a visitor from another plane, and Xuanguo is completely neutral about it!
"Find a way to control the situation, whether Nex is dead or on the run, don't affect that mysterious organization." Chief Chen said: "These pictures are listed as sealed and stored by the machine, and no one is allowed to disclose them, and those who violate discipline will be dealt with seriously, and network supervision should be more strict." β
"Yes."
Nexus could not have imagined that the world was changing faster than she had imagined. A spatial teleportation that she didn't care about at all actually ruined all her setups.
Humans are also not so easy to exploit.
"Speaking ......"
Chief Chen suddenly frowned at this time, and looked seriously at one of the pictures of a beautiful girl with a particularly high appearance.
"Is this man ...... Frequently featured in advertisements? β
