Chapter 8: Precursors

After leaving the hotel, Ji Liangying found a restaurant, and after eating a grilled fish alone, his mood was a little more relaxed.

(Damn, why do I have to take sides!) )

Ji Liangying is very clear, even if he doesn't want to admit it, his reason can still make a clear judgment, what Zhao Qianshuang said is not bad at all, her worries are not superfluous at all.

It has been at least a thousand years since the last time the aura failed, and the strange people lost their source of power and disappeared into the shadows of history, and all the supernatural powers have been greatly weakened, and the abilities of the supernatural have not been reduced at all.

The aura of heaven and earth, the magic power of demons, and the power of nature, in the final analysis, are foreign objects after all.

The source of the power of the Alien is the heart, and a few people will be born with the ability, and they can do all kinds of unbelievable things, and this power is not given by anyone, but with the soul.

On the nineteenth birthday, the one with extraordinary will among the supernatural will will be able to get a second "self", that is, the projection of the soul "soul shadow", the soul shadow has a variety of appearances, has extraordinary powers, when the soul shadow is called, even if the host does not activate any ability, his physical level has been improved to the same level as the soul shadow.

Some of them are self-aware, but all of them prioritize the will of the host, and when the host's mood fluctuates greatly, the power of the shadow will fluctuate with it, sometimes even to the point of being unbelievable, and even gaining new abilities.

And because this is the ability to draw from the soul, with the different cognition of the host, there will be different mentalities, hundreds of years ago, the humanoid soul shadow was mostly a warrior with a cold weapon, and today's soul shadow, there are even examples of the existence of computer viruses.

This is an extremely terrifying ability, and therefore, every legal citizen with a soul shadow must be hired in his country's supernatural management body, even if it is only a name like Ji Liangying.

In exchange, the state protects their identities from leakage, allows them to lead a normal life, and even provides them with employment and livelihood assistance, in addition to receiving benefits in full accordance with the standards of civil servants.

In the millennia that all the other superpowers have endured silently, the supernatural beings have enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and this time the aura is determined that they will undoubtedly become the target of all the forces.

In other words, he will become the target of public criticism, and at that time, no one will care whether Ji Liangying is a supernumerary or not, and the fact that he is an anomaly is enough to make him an enemy of some people.

(This must be retribution, it was the retribution that I helped the girl, I have to solve this matter quickly, and then find a way, any way, leave the city for a while, and flee to the countryside, so that I don't want to be involved in these things, I want to live a safe and stable life!) )

Ji Liangying settled the account and when he returned home, the windows were open, a simple wooden frame was set up at the door, and the quilt in his room was put on it to dry.

In addition, he walked into the unclosed door, and saw his reflection on the floor at first sight, this dark floor, for the first time in its original color, appeared in front of Ji Liangying.

He sniffed slightly, the air was filled with the smell of dust, apparently someone had just finished cleaning.

(Why did this girl do this...... )

With doubts, Ji Liangying walked to the living room, and at first glance saw Wei Wei'an, who had wiped the wall clock clean and was hanging it on the wall.

"The voice is...... Shadow, you're back," Vivian's voice cheerfully at the sound of footsteps, "Can you come over and help?" I'm not quite sure where the nails are. ”

"The King of Illusions!"

Ji Liangying called, and the black mechanical warrior burst out from the shadow cast by the wall clock, took the wall clock in Vivian's hand, aimed it at the nail on the wall, and hung it on the wall impartially.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." In the face of Vivian's thanks, the head of the Shadow King made a sound, which was somewhat similar to Ji Liangying's, but more ethereal, and after saying this, he quickly disappeared into the shadows.

Hearing the reply, Vivian was a little surprised, because of her background, she also knew something about the other self that a few supernatural people would awaken at the age of nineteen, that is, the "soul shadow", and also knew that some soul shadows had independent personalities, but it was the first time she had seen a soul shadow that could really speak.

"It's rare to see, I almost forgot the last time he spoke," Ji Liangying said, "This thing is like this, when you think it's a robot, he suddenly reminds you that he also has a personality, and when you think he has a personality, you can't see him do anything humane for months or even years." ”

"That, Liangying, you should know that the soul shadow is another self, and the personality also comes from the inner part of the host, so you were actually ...... just now"

“...... Well, I almost forgot, but how could it be like this on my inside, and I think his personality should be a little more elegant and easy-going. ”

Vivian was unusually silent.

"Ahem, Qian Liao has already promised to help, late tonight." Realizing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Ji Liangying hurriedly opened the topic.

Hearing that he would soon be able to meet the long-awaited King of Eternity, Vivian's voice raised, and the corners of his mouth turned into a smile: "That's great, did the committee say anything more about this matter?" ”

"You know the committee?"

"Of course, otherwise what do you think I'm going to do through security?" Vivian waved his hand, "I'm carrying a sack of religious souvenirs, many of which can be used as ritual materials, and a steel sword. ”

(Indeed, if there was no way, I would have been invited to tea.) )

"They probably don't know your purpose yet, but your country has sent someone to recover the sword, as the leylines revive and the aura rises, the value of this sword will rise accordingly, and the matter of you stealing the sword may rise to a diplomatic issue, so we want to solve it as soon as possible."

Ji Liangying truthfully explained his thoughts.

"When the matter is over, the sword will be recovered by the dragon group and finally sent back to your country, or if you wish, you can also be sent back by the dragon group."

"How can this work?" Vivian opened his mouth almost at the same time as Ji Liangying's words fell, "That sword belongs to the Eternal King, after the Eternal King is resurrected, the sword and the scabbard must be with him, once he was defeated because of the loss of the scabbard. ”

"Is that what you mean, or is it the Eternal King's?" Ji Liangying asked.

"This ......"

"Never consider the feelings of others, that's why you've been working in vain for years, Vivian." Ji Liangying sighed, "Not only do you not care about the wishes of the knights' reincarnations, but you don't even care that Arthur Xi doesn't want to resurrect himself. ”
