Chapter 341: Countermeasures, Breakthroughs

When a mage casts a spell on someone else, there are usually two situations that he or she fears the most: first, if the spell fails, the spell will backlash, and second, when he meets someone who can counter the spell back on himself!

Angus is confident that he can win Jiang Yan steadily, all because Jiang Yan's appearance is too deceptive, a child of more than eight years old who has been under the supervision of the research institute since the moment he was born, even if he thinks that the other party has some special potential, how would he think that the other party is actually the reincarnation of a third-level master in another world who knows the way of concealment?

Therefore, Angus used a spiritual spell like 'Soul Baptism' on Jiang Yan without much defense.

What is the spell that the caster is most afraid of being countered by the enemy? Of course, it is the kind of spell that has the effect of mind control, charm, or enslavement, which is the most terrifying.

Unfortunately, this time, Angus accounted for both of these points.

The spell of "Soul Baptism", even if Jiang Yan did not resist at all, with the super high spiritual resistance attached to his innate soul nature that was very different from ordinary people, he was not afraid of this spell at all.

As for the skills at the level of spiritual spells, even if Jiang Yan has not learned the spirit spirit techniques that belong to this world, he can directly fight back with pure divine element techniques, not to mention, the magic knowledge on Angus in front of him is no secret under his ability scanning.

For the scanning and copying of its software capabilities, Jiang Yan had already started secretly not long after they first met, and after almost a few minutes of contact, Jiang Yan had already copied all the other party's software, and secretly installed the software "Level 2 Spirit Technique" on himself, among them, there was this trick "Soul Baptism" that Angus was performing!

The software that Jiang Yan copied from others was no different from the abilities mastered by its original owner, so Angus's spell knowledge was completely hidden from him, and since all the spell information had been obtained and mastered, it naturally didn't take much effort to crack it.

The last point, which is also the most miscalculated point of Angus, is that Jiang Yan's true spiritual cultivation at this moment has recovered to the realm of the second level, and he is not inferior to him, a veteran military-level elf, and even in terms of background, Jiang Yan is far superior to him.

What's even more excessive is that at the same time as this spell countermeasure, Jiang Yan also used the ability of the third-level heaven-level beast king 'Phantom Spirit Colored Kite' Phantom Ji from the Canglan Domain who was very good at the way of spiritual illusion, and secretly added a little special condiment to the effect of the "Soul Baptism" that was countered back. As early as when he was still in the Canglan Domain, Jiang Yan copied this software that was good with himself, and used it to create a special industry such as the Dream Arena with Phantom Ji.

Although the effect of this ability was reduced because Jiang Yan's true spiritual cultivation at this time was much worse than the phantom queen in his heyday because of his weak state, it was enough to deal with a human who was also a second-level human.

With such a comprehensive approach, how could he resist Jiang Yan's spell countermeasures with a spiritual cultivation that was even higher than his own?

"Yes, Lord Angus, you are absolutely right. Jiang Yan responded with an impassioned tone and enthusiasm, using his superb self-control to simulate all the physical reactions and mental fluctuations that matched the surface demeanor, and at the same time, while following the trajectory of the release of the technique, he secretly launched a counterattack.

Even Angus himself didn't notice the slightest difference, Jiang Yan and his eyes flashed with an extremely faint silver brilliance, and then he realized that he was in a trance for a short moment, and when he returned to normal, he didn't notice anything wrong at all.

However, there are some things that do differ between the two.

"Very well, little one, I really didn't see the wrong person!"

After receiving the feedback from the lie detection spell, Angus looked at Jiang Yan with a gaze compared to a few minutes ago just now, and the kindness in his eyes at this time was basically no longer adulterated, just like a real kind old man, he even stood up and raised his hand to pat Jiang Yan's thin shoulder, and said with a chuckle: "Little guy, work hard, I'm looking forward to your future performance." ”

"That's my pleasure, Lord Angus. Seeing Angus's attitude from the original skepticism to the gradual recognition, Jiang Yan smiled secretly in his heart, and responded respectfully and excitedly on his face.

The spell "Soul Baptism" that was countered back is essentially a spell that guides the target's emotions, and it is not a mandatory mind control technique, so most of the effects are more subtle and imperceptible.

Jiang Yan didn't use this spell to force Angus to be loyal to him, because that would be too blunt, and even if he did it secretly, such an unnatural change might make the veteran military-level elf alert to the abnormality.

Therefore, he chose to use this spell countermeasure to eliminate Angus's suspicion of himself, and try to naturally guide the other party to increase the other party's trust in him.

Because Angus had been secretly using spells to test Jiang Yan, and the camouflage reaction that Jiang Yan gave back to him in this regard was naturally flawless, so under the dual influence of Angus's own inherent psychology and spell countermeasures, he would naturally think that he had determined Jiang Yan's loyalty through the means of spells, so as to eliminate suspicion, thus changing his attitude towards Jiang Yan from suspicion to trust.

It is always easier and more natural to take advantage of the situation than to forcibly rebel.

Of course, being able to do it so smoothly is also inseparable from the power of 'Dream **' secretly exerted by Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan is now a member of the special assassination branch of Billon City, if he can gain the trust of this branch minister, his next actions will undoubtedly be much easier, he was still thinking about how to pass this level, but he didn't expect that this time Angus's summons would actually take the initiative to send the opportunity to him, so he naturally shot directly without any scruples.

Next, after the two chatted a few words without any more nutrition, Jiang Yan took the initiative to get up and say goodbye.

Not long after Jiang Yan left, Angus had a thought, and a teleportation spell was sent out, and after a while, the door of his office was knocked again.

"Lord Angus. Mande, who walked in, bowed and asked, "What are your orders?"

"Mande, you pass on my order, and the surveillance of that rookie kid named 'Jiang Yan' can be removed. Angus ordered straight to the point.

Now that he has 'confirmed' the loyalty of the rookie boy, there is no need to continue to waste manpower on the kind of surveillance that is not necessary and may actually cause the other party to be dissatisfied. Many of the missions in the Assassination Force require intelligence officers to explore and confirm, but there is not much spare time to spend on areas that are already meaningless.

"Okay. While there was some wonder why the man's attitude had changed so clearly after just one meeting, Mande didn't ask why. As a qualified subordinate, since the boss said so, then he just needs to do it, and if he is too curious in this business, he will harm himself.

......

Jiang Yan, who left the Nightingale Bar, returned directly to his mansion, and then in less than ten minutes, through the whistle machines arranged around the mansion, he discovered the kind of surveillance from the neighbors that had been there since he moved into this mansion, and all of them were removed at once.

Jiang Yan knew very well where this surveillance came from, so he was not surprised at all.

When he first entrusted the branch to help him find a house, Jiang Yan was already mentally prepared to be secretly monitored, after all, he naturally knew how he performed in the research institute, even if he left the research institute, Lux's cautious guy would definitely not relax in editing his resume.

After getting along for ** years, Lux knows everything about him before the recovery of the true spirit, even if Jiang Yan's superficial spirit personality at that time was subconsciously hidden in many places under the influence of the secret hand of the true spirit, but after all, the memory is missing, the camouflage is not perfect, and in the face of Lux, who covers the sky in the research institute and has watched him grow up since childhood, it is inevitable that a trace can be seen.

Fortunately, now that I've left the institute, I've gotten rid of the memory loss I had at the beginning, and I've recovered my abilities, so I won't make the same mistake again.

Of course, the ability experiments that Jiang Yan had done in the mansion before were all carried out with care to avoid the monitors outside the house, and even if they were really seen, they didn't need to worry about being seen anything.

What's wrong with having a few cats and dogs as pets to watch the house?

"This meeting, the harvest is really ......not small," Jiang Yan recalled the meeting on the second floor of the Nightingale Bar just now.

Angus Slint, for people in other cities, may not know who this is, but if you are a local living in Bylen City, most of them will not be unfamiliar with this name.

Because, the lord of Billon City, the hereditary marquis of Slint who was personally divided by the emperor, is called Angus!

In other words, Jiang Yan's boss is not only the controller of the city's assassination force branch, but even the actual lord of the city, and in Billon City, the other party's power is not insignificant!

"However, it's right to think about it, most of the work done by the special assassination force is not a good one, and if there is no official force on the surface to cover it, the assassination all day long will not cause panic among the citizens of the city? ”

This is also a good thing for Jiang Yan, because if he gains the trust of Angus, who is the lord of the city, then he will also leave a good impression on the official manager of Billon City, and he can reduce a lot of trouble both openly and secretly.

"It's just that the effect of 'Soul Baptism' can't be strong, and at this current level, the influence is still a little weaker, Angus's trust in me is not too high, maybe in the future, because of something, the suspicion of me will rise again, after all, looking at his statement, it seems that he is quite familiar with Lukes's guy!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan frowned slightly.

Lux, that guy, always feels that it is a hidden danger to stay, Jiang Yan doesn't believe that every newcomer who joins the assassination team will be personally summoned and tested by the minister, this kind of thing can be done by a senior team member at most, even if Jiang Yan's assassination potential is good, he must work for a character like Angus to come out in person.

So there must have been other reasons that prompted Angus to do this, and after thinking about it, Jiang Yan directly suspected Dr. Lukes.

Since it is old knowledge, it makes perfect sense for Lux to give Angus some 'advice' and follow his performance after leaving the institute through Angus's eyeliner.

"Hmm...... To be on the safe side, if the strength is almost complete, find a chance to get rid of that old guy, Angus's side, just brush a few more fantasy ** buffs from time to time! Although you can't do too much at one time so as not to be alerted, as long as you use the current trust level as the key to gradually deepen the influence, spend more time, and continue to influence for a few months or even years, I don't believe how long a second-level human can resist!"

In this way, Jiang Yan finalized the treatment plan for Angus, from today on, he directly let his subordinates have gradually laid out the mobile network in all corners of the city to find Angus's usual office location and resting place, and then every once in a while, he used the ability of data transmission to teleport part of the slime Xiaobai's clone to sneak into the vicinity of Angus invisibly, especially in the most defenseless moment when the other party was sleeping quietly in his bedroom, and remotely descended to the past to distract himself to "dream**" The art of quietly exerting influence on it.

The ability of "Dream**", as the name suggests, can also exert an impact on dreams, and if the subject of the spell is in a state of sleeping and can dream, the effect of the spell will be significantly improved!

If a person's friendliness to someone is quantified into 0~100 data, Jiang Yan's approach is to subtly brush a +0.1~+0.3 favorability buff to the other party every once in a while on the basis of already having a dozen values, which can't be seen in a short time, but after a long time, this is terrible.

To be honest, if the object of the spell is a super beauty who can make Jiang Yan's heart move, he can have more positive motivation to do this kind of thing, but an old man ...... For the sake of future development, Jiang Yan can only stubbornly persevere.

No longer thinking about the slightly depressed things, Jiang Yan's attention turned to several other gains from Angus.

"The second-level elf technique, which even has the secret spiritual power cultivation method of the Sirint family, is obviously much better than the low-level version of the "Lingzi Meditation Technique" that I was taught from the research institute, which just saves me the effort of collecting materials and optimizing it!

Jiang Yan returned to his bedroom and sat down cross-legged, his mind moved, and he started to use the more sophisticated elf cultivation method obtained from Angus, and suddenly, countless free spirit sons in the atmosphere were pulled over by him, and even caused a small whirlpool of spirit children to roll up in the room, and a trace of blurred light dust visible to the naked eye condensed and wrapped around Jiang Yan's body, and slowly penetrated into his body.

The continuous influx of spiritual sons was controlled by Jiang Yan with his own strong true spiritual power, and efficiently refined into pure spiritual power flowing into limbs and hundreds of remains, while strengthening his spiritual power cultivation, he also continued to nourish his current young body with some weakness, and subtly strengthened the quality of all aspects of his body.

In this way, after about half an hour, Jiang Yan stopped practicing this time, and he exhaled a breath of air with a faint white mist aura, and the faint aura that was entwined around his body gradually converged back into his body.

Jiang Yan mobilized his ability and looked at the column on his attribute bar that represented the realm of the elven envoy's cultivation, and at this moment, the 'elven envoy (level 1 99%+)' had indeed become the 'elf envoy (level 2 1%)', and felt a lot of spiritual power in his body, and smiled.

'Well, it's time to pause. This breakthrough is more about excavating the accumulated foundation of this body stuck on the bottleneck of the first-level realm for a long time, and if you want to make a big breakthrough in the short term, the current cultivation environment is not enough, and it is almost the same to change to a high-energy spiritual land with a concentration of more than ten times the concentration of spiritual subs!"
