XXXIII. Strongest Ability

When Sina arrived at the "base camp", it was already 9:40. When she walked to the door, she remembered that she had forgotten her book at the ramen shop. I think that after the boss sees it, he should put it away first, and then go and get it another day.

She knocked on the 'door', and soon, Han Feng opened the 'door'. When Sina entered the 'door', she saw that several boys had gotten up and sat on the sofa watching TV. This surprised her, and she smiled and said, "Yes, you guys woke up pretty early, I thought you would sleep in." ”

As soon as Hang saw Xinna, he immediately sat up straight, and the 'spirit' spirit was instantly raised, and he greeted Xinna. After Sina sat down, she noticed that the rest of the people had been staring at the TV, all looking a little serious, and asked, "What are you watching?" ”

"Come, drink water." Han Feng poured a glass of pure water for Xin Na, sat down and said, "Why do you say we got up so early?" You don't know what happened yesterday afternoon, do you? ”

"What's going on?" Sina took the glass and asked.

"Let's let Hang Yi tell you."

Hang Yi said: "It was when we left here and on our way home that Xiaomi and I encountered an attacker." ”

"Huh?" Sina opened her mouth in surprise. "What's going on?"

As soon as Hang told the story of what happened to Jiang Lixuan, Xin Na was very shocked after hearing it, and said, "Why didn't you tell me that such a big thing happened?" ”

"I called Lu Hua, and Lu Hua said to see you go home safely. I was relieved. Hang Yi scratched his head and said, "What happened on my side is actually a thrill, so I didn't tell you, for fear that you would worry." ”

After Hang Yi encountered danger, the first thing he thought of was to make sure that I was safe. Xina was very moved. "You're not hurt, are you?"

"It's fine."

"The man named Jiang Lixuan...... He's dead? ”

Hang Yi nodded silently.

Sina thought for a moment and said, "How did he get his sights on you?" You can't just meet you on the street, do you? ”

"Impossible." Mi Xiaolu said, "He planned to attack us, there is no doubt about it. ”

"So, he stalked you?" Xinna frowned, "Last time at Han Feng's house, it was the same, not long after we arrived, we were attacked by superpowers. ”

"We're really being targeted by some people." Lu Hua said uneasily.

"Could it be that Jiang Lixuan has been eyeing you since you left here? Doesn't that mean that our base camp has been exposed? Han Feng was stunned and said, "This is also 'revealed' too quickly, right?" ”

"Not necessarily." Mi Xiaolu recalled, "I used superpowers in the car, and I didn't perceive the killing intent. I found out after getting out of the car and walking for a while......"

Xina thought and said, "Maybe these attackers can find out our whereabouts somehow......"

At this time, Sun Yuchen suddenly shouted: "Look, the news of this city really reported yesterday's incident!" ”

Everyone immediately looked at the TV, staring intently at the screen.

"At about 4:50 p.m. yesterday, a bizarre murder occurred in the underground parking lot on the first floor of the Sanlian shopping mall. The body of a young man appeared in the parking lot. After investigation, the deceased's name was Jiang Lixuan. The first to find the body was the staff in the parking lot, who claimed that when he saw the deceased, the body was lying on the wall, the blood and flesh were blurred, and the clothes were broken, much like they had been killed by explosives.

"The staff member was very nervous and suspected that a bomb had been planted in the parking lot and immediately called the police. When the police arrived, they investigated the scene and found no bombs. However, after a preliminary examination by the forensic doctor, the deceased did die from the blasting. Curiously, no traces of the explosion were found at the scene, and none of the vehicles in the parking lot were damaged. None of the staff in the mall heard the explosion. As a result, the police suspect that the deceased may not have been killed in a parking lot, but was dumped there. At present, the identity of the murderer is not clear, and the case is still under further investigation......"

After the news was broadcast, Hang Yi and Mi Xiaolu, who experienced the incident, were stunned. The other four people in the living room also looked at them with wide eyes. After a long time, Han Feng asked, "Hang Yi, what's going on?" ”

Lu Hua turned off the TV on silent with the remote control, and the house fell silent.

Mi Xiaolu looked at Hang Yi and asked in astonishment: "We obviously saw with our own eyes that after Jiang Lixuan stepped on a mine, he was blown up, how could there be no traces of the explosion at the scene?" The staff in the mall didn't hear the explosion, what the hell is going on? ”

Hang Yi frowned deeply, pressed his temples with both hands, and said, "Let me be quiet and think about it." ”

After a while, Sun Yuchen said, "After Jiang Lixuan was blown up, the two of you immediately ran out of the parking lot, right?" You weren't paying attention to your surroundings at the time? ”

"At that time, the surrounding environment was the game screen in the game that Hang Yige was playing, the female 'Valkyrie of the Battlefield'." Mi Xiaolu thought about it and said, "But this is due to Brother Hang's superpowers...... Probably after we left, the surroundings were restored to the way they were. ”

The room was silent for a few minutes, and Lu Hua suddenly seemed to understand something, and after an "ah" sound, he stood up and said, "I probably know why this happened." ”

Hang Yi and the others all looked at him.

Lu Hua said: "Do you remember what the old gods once said when they gave us superpowers? He said it awakens the power that we hide in our subconscious. I think the meaning of this sentence can be understood to mean that in fact, the superpower we acquire is a kind of power generated by the "spirit" and "god". If you understand it this way, it will make sense! ”

Hang Yi didn't understand much: "You can make it clear." ”

Lu Hua pushed the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose and said, "Hang Yi, after yesterday's incident, you may think that your superpower is to be able to materialize the content in the game. But after reading the news just now, I realized that this is not the case! Instead of turning things in the game into reality, you've created a ''Spirit' Realm'!

"To put it simply, when you activate your superpowers, you create an illusion that is identical to the game's graphics. Only those who are within your power can see and feel. So you, Mi Xiaolu, and Jiang Lixuan have all seen the changes in the surrounding environment, but others can't see it. ”

"Wait," Hang Yi interrupted Lu Hua, "You said that my superpowers are just an illusion?" How is this possible? Jiang Lixuan was really blown up! ”

"I'm not done yet." Lu Hua continued, "The point is that those who die in this 'illusion' will also die in reality!" This principle is similar to how if a person is scared to death in a nightmare, he will actually die in reality. ”

"I see, when Hangyi stops using his superpowers, everything around him will revert to its original state, but the 'game result' - someone will be injured or killed - will remain!" Han Feng said in astonishment.

Lu Hua nodded uneasily.

"Is that okay? Hangyi's ability can bring people into the world of the game and attack in the way of the game. Sun Yuchen concluded.

That's pretty much what it means. If my speculation is correct, it means ......" Lu Hua took off his glasses and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "Hang Yi, your ability may be the strongest among us, at least for now." ”

Hang Yi was 'confused' by their various analyses, and even he felt frightened. He swallowed his saliva and said, "I didn't think about dragging anyone into the game to kill, I was just protecting myself." ”

"I understand, you don't have to explain." Lu Hua said, "It's good that you're not our enemy, otherwise you'll ......" He shrugged his shoulders and made a scared expression.

Hang Yi found that the people around him were looking at him with a kind of fear, he frowned and said, "Don't look at me like this, okay?" I'm not going to use superpowers indiscriminately. Besides, Lu Hua is just speculating, not necessarily like this. ”

Sun Yuchen pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Do you want to ...... Try it now? ”

"What, try now?" Han Feng jumped up. "What are you kidding! If he turns this place into a battlefield, won't he blow us all up? ”

"If you don't try, forget it......" Sun Yuchen himself didn't seem to approve of this proposal. I just think everyone should be proficient in using their superpowers, and if they encounter an attacker in the future, they won't be passive. ”

"Don't do it here if you want to ''." Han Feng glared and said, "If I try 'disaster' here, do you agree?" ”

Mi Xiaolu thought for a while: "Actually, I don't think Brother Hang's superpowers are necessarily terrifying. If you think about it, there are many types of games. There are war, action, and casual puzzles. For example, games such as "Ranch Story" and "My Summer Vacation" are very gentle, and there is no danger at all. ”

"It's a very refreshing game that I've also played in 'My Summer Vacation'." Lu Hua said, "Hang Yi, or you can use this game to try it." He said to the others, "Don't worry, what is going on, and my 'defense'." ”

Hang Yi groaned for a moment, stood up, and said, "Okay." ”

Despite being told that there was no danger, everyone was nervous, and they stood up together and gathered around Lu Hua to prepare for precautions.

After a few minutes, everything happened in the room, and there was a change in the scene.

Xinna asked tentatively, "Hang Yi, have you used your superpowers?" ”

Hang's face turned red and said, "I used it, I kept thinking about the game screen in 'My Summer Vacation', but I couldn't get it out." ”

Mi Xiaolu was puzzled and said, "Why? Then when we faced Jiang Lixuan yesterday, how did you do it? ”

"Could it be that Hang Yi's abilities can only be used in critical situations?" Sina guessed.

"No, it won't." Sun Yuchen said, "My 'idea' can be used at any time, and Hang Yi's should be the same." ”

Everyone fell silent. After a while, Hang Yi and Mi Xiaolu looked at each other, as if they thought of something important at the same time, and they called out "ah".

"What's wrong?" Lu Hua asked.

"I remember, Brother Hang Yi held the PSV game console in his hand yesterday!" Mi Xiaolu said.

"Yes!" Hang Yi said, "And the game console is on, and the game of 'Battlefield's female 'Valkyrie' is running!" ”

Lu Hua somewhat understood: "What you mean is that your ability must be ......"

"I'll be able to try it right away!" Hang Yi 'touched' the PSP game console from his sports satchel and turned it on.

"Wait," Han Feng asked, "What games do you have in this handheld?" ”

Hang Yi quickly browsed the game icons and read them out in turn: "'God of War', 'Snake Warriors', 'Monster Hunter', 'Final Fantasy 7', 'Battlefield' Female 'Valkyrie'." He looked up at the crowd.

"Don't try." Han Feng said decisively.

"Isn't there a non-combat game?" Mi Xiaolu said in disappointment.

"Nope." Hang Yi said apologetically.

"Don't really try it." Mi Xiaolu experienced yesterday's events, and his heart palpitated.

But Hang Yi is now itchy and can't hold back. He said, "It's okay, I'll just give Monster Hunter a try." There is no such thing as mines in this game, and the scenarios are absolutely safe! ”

The people on the opposite side all subconsciously took a few steps back, getting closer to Lu Hua. Hang Yi entered the game interface of Monster Hunter and read the file to the place where he was playing so far. Then, he put the console on the coffee table, took a breath, and activated his superpowers.

In an instant, the surrounding scene magically changed. The living room disappeared, and Hang Yi and a few friends were in a secret jungle. This is a typical primeval forest, where coniferous and broad-leaved forests thrive in this uninhabited woodland, and the towering trees with intertwined roots appear resolute and deep. The dense foliage prevents direct sunlight from coming down, and the ground is damp and dark. If you look closely, there seem to be traces left by some mysterious species in the branches and leaves of ancient trees and bushes. It's all unbelievably real.

Several people in the scene, including Hang Yi himself, were all stunned. They looked around in circles at the spectacle. Han Feng said in disbelief: "This ...... Is this really a game screen? How exactly like the real thing? ”

"It's just an illusion created by Hang Yi's superpowers, and we're still in your living room." Lu Hua said, but his tone was not so sure.

Hang Yi trembled with excitement: "'Hermit's Forest'...... That's right, that's the game I played yesterday! ”

Xinna gently touched a plant next to her and exclaimed, "The touch is real!" Is this really an illusion? ”

"Whether it's a fantasy or not, what happens here, the result will come true." Han Feng reminded, "Xinna, you'd better not touch them, some plants in the primeval forest are very dangerous. ”

"I'm afraid you should say that some of the settings in this 'game' are dangerous." Lu Hua looked at Hang Yi, "You should be familiar with this game, are there any traps, traps or anything like that in the scene?" ”

Hang Yi shook his head and said, "The scene should be safe, but ......" He stopped suddenly, stared at the diagonal front with wide eyes, and his face turned pale.

Lu Hua was stunned for two seconds and turned his head suddenly. Several others followed suit.

More than ten meters away from them, a pink-purple 'colored' monster appeared. The monster looks a lot like the velociraptor in the Dinosaur Illustrated Book, but the head resembles that of an Australian umbrella lizard. It was the size of a baby elephant, with a stout tail two meters long and horns like a wolf's fang. At this moment, the monster opened its large crocodile-like mouth, 'exposed' a mouth full of sharp teeth, and let out a terrifying scream. Then, at a blistering speed, it swooped down on several people.

"Ahβ€”β€”!h Xinna let out a frightened scream, and Lu Hua actually collapsed to the ground with weak legs. Han Feng was shocked and wanted to ask Lu Hua to quickly activate the superpower of 'defense', but it was too late.

At this moment, I saw a figure flying by, and a huge two-handed sword swung violently at the pink monster, slashing it to the ground. The monster screamed and fell, blood splattered on everyone. Everyone looked at it, and this warrior with a big sword turned out to be Hang Yi.

Hang Yi shouted: "Lift!" In an instant, the scene changed back, and they were standing in the living room of the base camp. The great sword in his hand, and the blood that had been splashed on everyone's body, were all goneβ€”what had just happened was like a dream.

"Whew-" Han Feng let out a long breath and sat directly on the floor. He wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It's so dangerous!"

Xinna's heart was still beating wildly, and she clutched her 'chest' and said in horror, "That monster...... Is it in the game? ”

"Yes, it's called Pink Speeddragon." Hang Yi was obviously frightened as well, and his face was now pale. "Luckily, I just started playing this game, it's just a mob. If you meet a ...... like Crashing Dragon," he swallowed, not daring to think about it.

Sun Yuchen's entire back was soaked with sweat, and he asked in fear, "What will happen if I get bitten by that monster just now?" ”

"Think about the consequences of Jiang Lixuan yesterday." Mi Xiaolu's throat shrank.

There was silence in the living room, and it seemed that everyone was too frightened to speak. After a few seconds, Han Feng yelled at Hang Yi, "I told you not to try your superpowers here, but you didn't listen!" We almost died with you! ”

Hang Yi was also extremely afraid and guilty, and said, "I...... I didn't expect that. Yesterday I used my superpowers, and it just changed the scene around me. The horn 'color' in the game does not appear, who knows ...... today"

"Brother Hang, you've been upgraded!" Mi Xiaolu reminded, "Your ability should be twice as strong as yesterday!" ”

Hang was stammered, and then he understood.

"So, you just suddenly turned into a character in the game and attacked that monster with a big sword, and you only did it after leveling up?" Sun Yuchen asked.

"Probably," Hang Yi said, "When I saw that the Pink Dragon was going to attack you, I was in a hurry, and a big sword naturally appeared in my hand, and I slashed at the monster like a game horn 'Se'. ”

Seeing that Hanbok was still glaring at Hang Yi angrily, Xin Na said, "Don't blame Hang Yi, he doesn't know anything about his abilities." Besides, Hang Yi saved us at the critical moment and saved the day in time. ”

Hang Yi cast a 'excited' glance at Xinna. Hanbok exhaled irritably, and suddenly saw Lu Hua, who was still sitting on the ground, and he was angry again: "And you!" Say 'In case of danger, there is my defensive wall' - as a result, I was actually paralyzed by fright! ”

Lu Hua's body was still trembling slightly, and it seemed that he had not recovered from that terrifying scene. He shuddered and said, "I'm not afraid of anything else...... I'm just afraid of lizards, geckos, and other disgusting creatures. As soon as I saw that monster, I was so scared that my soul flew away......"

Han Feng rolled his eyes and was speechless.

After a while, everyone finally settled down and sat down on the couch. Hang put the PSV game mechanism on the coffee table and said, "I understand, my ability has limitations, and I must have a running game around me." ”

"It's a good thing that's the case, otherwise you could have taken us into a thrilling game world at any time, so what's the matter?" Han Feng said.

Xinna held her chin and thought for a moment, and said, "Let's not talk about Hang Yi's superpowers for the time being. It suddenly occurred to me that something seemed wrong with the news I had just announced. ”

Hang Yi looked at her: "What's wrong?" ”

Sina frowned and said: "I remember the last sentence of the news - 'The identity of the murderer is not clear at the moment, and the case is still under further investigation' - this is not logical." ”

Hang Yi shuddered for a moment, the word "murderer" made him very uncomfortable, he muttered: "I was just defending myself, and I didn't expect to kill him......"

"I know, that's not what I'm talking about." Xina looked at him, "I think it's strange, how could the police not suspect you and Mi Xiaolu?" ”

"What do you mean?" Mi Xiaolu asked.

"If you think about it, the parking lot and the entrance and exit of the mall must be equipped with surveillance cameras, right? After the incident, you run out of the parking lot, and the cameras will undoubtedly catch both of you. When the police investigate the matter, won't they bring up the surveillance video to watch it? Xina said.

Hang Yi and Mi Xiaolu glanced at each other, and unconsciously opened their mouths wide, and they had to admit that this was indeed the case.

"That's right," Han Feng thought of this as well. "It's really illogical. It stands to reason that the police should have immediately designated you two as suspects, why haven't they come looking for you until now? ”

"Not only did they not look for it, but they also claimed on the news that the police had no eyebrows about the case." Sun Yuchen said, "It's really abnormal. ”

A few people couldn't figure out what was going on. Sina pursed her lips and thought about it for a long time, and said, "There is only one possible 'sex'. ”

Everyone looked at her.

"The police looked at the surveillance footage, but β€” they couldn't understand what was going on in the footage. According to Hang Yi's account, what the police saw in the surveillance video may be that Jiang Lixuan and you appeared in the parking lot, and then, Hang Yi and Mi Xiaolu fell to the ground inexplicably. Then, Jiang Lixuan suddenly flew out...... For a police officer who doesn't know the process and the hidden story, how can he understand what this is all about? ”

"That's right, in the surveillance video, there is obviously no 'game scene' made by Hang Yi." Sun Yuchen said, "However, the police can't understand it, can they forget it?" You should find Hang Yi and Mi Xiaolu to ask. ”

"Could it be that the police thought the case was too bizarre and gave up the investigation?" Lu Hua said.

Xina shook her head and said, "Impossible, this kind of thinking is too naΓ―ve. She paused, "In my opinion, it's the opposite. The police believed that the case had gone beyond the scope of ordinary criminal cases, so they reported it to a higher level of agency for stronger backing and support. In order not to startle the snake, he used the news to lie that he had no clue about this matter. ”

"You mean, the police actually take this case quite seriously?" Lu Hua said in surprise.

"Yes. Think about it, the bizarre murder that happened in the swimming pool; And that strange earthquake; Add to that yesterday's case – and maybe something else we don't know. The police are not fools, they would have noticed a series of bizarre incidents that have occurred recently, all of which are related to the Mingde Foreign Language Training Center, especially the people in Class 13. So, of course, they will pay close attention to it and inform the high-level institutions. Sina analyzed solemnly.

"By 'high-level institutions', you mean ......," Lu Hua asked tentatively.

Sina lowered her eyes and looked up for a moment. "That's right – the Ministry of State Security." F
