Chapter 5: Troubled Times
When I opened my eyes, it was not in my familiar home, it was a wooden ceiling, and I remember that when I was very young, it was also a room like this in my grandfather's house.
Shaking his head, his mind was still in a mess, he sorted out his memories and vaguely recalled some things.
The girl who was seriously injured in the alley, the ice crystals, the hidden sea, the voice in the darkness, and the man who was on fire all these moments poured into my memory.
"These ......" are like dreaming, but they clearly know that they are not dreaming, and there is still pain in the place where they are attacked, and they take two deep breaths and get up from the bed, and their bodies are like carrying something heavy, and it is very difficult to move.
As soon as he got out of bed, the door of the room was opened, and a neatly dressed man walked in, vaguely the person who saved him and Bai Xiaoyue at the last moment.
"Are you awake, how are you feeling, are you okay?"
As soon as he came up, he asked directly with concern, and there was a kind of softness and warmth in his tone, which made people feel comfortable when he heard it, and he felt that the person in front of him was worth believing.
"How is Bai Xiaoyue?" Li Tiansheng immediately thought of Bai Xiaoyue, although he had always spoken ill of himself, but in the end he still did not give up on him and saved him, for Bai Xiaoyue, he had an indescribable feeling.
"Is that girl Bai Xiaoyue? It turned out to be the eldest lady of the Bai family, what a pity. He sighed, "You don't have to worry about her, what I'm going to tell you next, please think about it carefully." ”
This answer made Li Tiansheng's heart suddenly suddenly, what is it really a pity, is it that the body has suffered some irreversible injury, is it no longer good? Don't take care of yourself, does it mean that Bai Xiaoyue is no longer saved, and no matter what she does, it is in vain?
Seeing that Li Tiansheng was a little dazed, the man coughed, "What, is there something uncomfortable?"
"No, nothing. Tell me about it. "I was uneasy, but I didn't dare to ask, after all, it was already such an obvious hint, if I was forcibly asking something, I guess my heart would not be able to stand it.
This time, I didn't protect what I wanted to protect. A look of frustration was evident on his face.
Of course, this person seemed to see something, and just smiled, but did not point it out.
"First of all, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Lin Zhao. Although he still has that gentle appearance, his tone has become serious,
"The organization I belong to is called 'Troubled Times', and although the name may sound like a serious organization, it is not entirely so, our organization exists to fight against the 'Guardians'. ”
Li Tiansheng listened carefully to Lin Zhao's words, he had too much to ignore, and if he thought about some things more at this time, he could think less about other things.
"I know you don't know a lot of things, after all, you haven't been in contact with this circle, I'm just talking about a basic thing here, and many things are not just words. ”
Li Tiansheng nodded, as long as he knew some information, any point could make him more aware of the world he was about to face.
"First of all, you should have seen the 'ice crystals', right?"
Here again, the ice crystal was mentioned, and that icy crystal flashed through Li Tiansheng's mind.
"Yes, I have seen. ”
Lin Zhao accentuated his tone. "Do you know what this 'ice crystal' is?"
Thinking back to what I have seen and felt,
"Well, it feels like it's a crystal of some kind of energy, right?"
"Very clever, this 'ice crystal' is indeed the crystallization of some kind of power, it is a fragment of the god's body. ”
This answer far exceeded Li Tiansheng's expectations, "Fragments of the god's body?"
Lin Zhao looked at the person in front of him with an incredible face, "Yes, the fragment of the god's body, to be specific, it's a long story, you can understand it slowly in the future, in short, no matter how powerful this god was in life, it has now become this kind of fragment." ”
"So, those magical powers are given by God?"
Lin Zhao shook his head, "It's going to surprise you again, at least our strength is not given by God, on the contrary, it is the demons who give us strength." ”
The successive pieces of information completely disrupted Li Tiansheng's cognition, if there was a god, it seemed that there was no problem with demons, but to get power from the demons, as long as he read a few theological books, he knew that there would be no good end.
"You don't have to worry at all, although our power is given by demons, we have all used the fragments of the divine body, that is, the 'ice crystals' to pay the price. ”
"Well, is it the same with 'Guardians'?"
"At least not like us. Lin Zhao shrugged his shoulders,
Li Tiansheng immediately realized, "Are you the one who did evil?"
"No, no, no", directly denied his statement, Lin Zhao continued, "Those 'guardians' are the real villains, although there are not many people in the 'troubled times', but most of them are hunted down by the 'guardians', the reason is very simple, that is, we have the power of 'ice crystals'. ”
Li Tiansheng still doesn't understand, these are really too difficult for him, the side of the "gods" who should protect mankind has become some kind of evil person in Lin Zhao's mouth, and the demon has become a savior.
"I can understand your shock, I couldn't believe it at first, but the truth is that the main purpose of the 'Guardians' is to resurrect the gods, and there is a crucial step in wanting to resurrect the gods, which is to collect the gods. There must be enough divine bodies for God to be resurrected. ”
When he said this, Lin Zhao seemed to remember something, and his whole face became unsightly.
"So they went around snatching the 'ice crystals', using any means they could to obtain those things, including killing people, and I got such a thing by accident at home, and then I was found by those 'guardians', and as soon as they came up, they said that they wanted ice crystals, and we didn't give them at the beginning, so we killed our family, and I was the only one who escaped. ”
Bai Xiaoyue's experience is the same, there is basically not much difference, "They only need to collect 'ice crystals', and everything else doesn't matter, as long as someone blocks them, they will kill that person." ”
Li Tiansheng only felt a chill from his back directly to the shopkeeper's head, those guys are really going to kill.
"This whole 'troubled world' is made up of people who want to seek revenge on the 'Guardians', and our goal is to see the complete destruction of the 'Guardians' before we die. ”
There was unmistakable firmness in his voice, "I've done a lot for this goal, and I hope that in our group, we can defeat the 'Guardians'." Although it may not be. ”
At this time, Li Tiansheng finally understood the "troubled times". I also understood the "Ice Crystal" and the "Guardian", and I only felt that a new world had opened the door to me, although there was a little light, but most of it was still pitch black and I couldn't see the way clearly.
And Lin Zhao finally said his purpose, "Now, I want to invite you to join us in the 'troubled times' and become our partner." ”
This request surprised Li Tiansheng again, "I, why me, although I have also gained strength because of the 'ice crystal', but I am very weak, I can't be a good partner......
"No," Lin Zhao interrupted him directly, "It's that you don't realize your strength, among the many abilities exchanged for 'ice crystals', there are very few that directly enhance the physical body, but only this kind of person can become a real powerhouse." ”
Seeing that Li Tiansheng didn't understand at all, Lin Zhao continued. "Generally speaking, the energy we exchange for is divided into four categories, which are elemental, physical, regular, and special. ”
Lin Zhao took the trouble to explain in detail, "The so-called elemental class is the ability to operate elements, such as ice and fire, this kind of ability looks very powerful, but it is the ability to grow slowly, how many elements can you operate at the beginning, and in the end you can only operate so much, you can only keep getting stronger in operation." ”
Thinking of the scoundrel with the flames all over his body, the elemental ones seemed to be easy to understand.
"And your physical body, although it seems that it is only a little stronger than ordinary people, and there is no comparison with other forces, but at this time, your entire body has been planted with a seed, as long as you exercise, you can break through the boundaries of human beings and grow infinitely. ”
Li Tiansheng looked at his hands, that powerful power was lodged in his body at this moment, but he couldn't feel anything.
"Mine is the rule class, the ability of the rule class is very special, but basically it is to change some things in reality, simply to put it this way, you may be a little confused, I will give you a demonstration, and another word, my ability is 'Tianya'. ”
Before he understood what was going on, Li Tiansheng, who was not close to Lin Zhao, was definitely not far away, and he had already posted it on the wall.
Then it was another flower, and he returned to Lin Zhao again.
"This ability is to be able to freely manipulate the distance between myself and other people, but there is a certain limitation, that is, I can only affect one person at a time, and what I can change must be what I can see, and at the same time, before and after exerting the ability, I must also be in my own field of vision, and the maximum distance that can be changed is to halve or double the distance between me and the target. ”
After saying so much in one breath, he picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip, "In addition, the interval between each use of the ability is five seconds. ”
He didn't hide anything and told Li Tiansheng the secret of his ability.
"All rule-based abilities are to follow these rules and change some rules, but lack the initiative to fight. ”
looked at Li Tiansheng's still a little frightened face, and comforted him. "This kind of rule-based power is basically very difficult to win as long as the rules and restrictions are known. ”
Li Tiansheng understands that if this kind of rule-based ability knows everything in advance, it will be difficult to pose any threat.
"The last is the special class, which is generally not the above three categories, and will be divided into special, such as memory operations or something, which is a typical special class, but special classes are rare compared to physical classes, and they are basically invisible. ”
"Is that why I am needed?"
"This is only one aspect of it, more importantly, you have been targeted by them, you have the power in your body in exchange for 'ice crystals', so as long as you kill you, you can regain ice crystals, they can do it. ”
Li Tiansheng's body trembled, those people can really do it, he knows it very clearly,
"This is our protection for you, and if you want to help us. Even if it's not for yourself, think about your family, as long as you become a person in the 'troubled times', your relatives will also be protected by the 'troubled times', and no one knows what those 'guardians' can do. ”
The only weakness is his family, Li Tiansheng heard this, and he already made a decision in his heart, "What am I going to do?"
"Collect 'Ice Crystals' and obtain them before 'Guardians' can obtain them. ”
Thinking of the way the "Guardian" seized the ice crystals not long ago, he looked at Lin Zhao with some doubts, "Are you going to kill someone?"
"Naturally not, you listen to me tell you in detail, there are two ways to obtain 'ice crystals', the first is to find the host of this thing, pay attention to the host of 'ice crystals', not people who have obtained power, people who are eager for miracles to happen in their hearts will be favored by 'ice crystals', and then they will get the miracles they prayed for, and after becoming the host of 'ice crystals', although they will also gain some power, but once they are defeated, they will lose their power if they lose their ice crystals, which is different from us. ”
Hearing this, I understood a little, "Is it just that you just need to defeat some people?"
"Yes, the most primitive 'ice crystals' come from this way, and the second, a little more troublesome, some wishes that are not 'man' or 'man' will be granted. ”
Hearing this, Li Tianshen instantly understood that anything could become the holder of the "Ice Crystal".
"You seem to understand, any animal, even a plant can become a holder, and some 'ice crystals' will become a phenomenon, but don't worry, this kind of rarely encountered, when you encounter it, you will naturally know what to do, you know that according to the information given by the intelligence officer, you can fight or use other ways you like to get the 'ice crystal' in your hands. ”
Li Tiansheng lowered his head, and there seemed to be no reason to refuse, "I, I want to be a member of the 'troubled times', but I don't understand many things yet." ”
"It's okay, when everyone is a novice, the first few tasks are just taken by us veterans. Then he looked up and down at the muscles on Li Tian's body, "You are too thin now, you must first be strengthened in training, otherwise it will be really a shame to be compared to a group of ordinary people in terms of physical fitness." ”
"But it's ...... at school."
Lin Zhao showed his signature smile again. "You don't have to worry, everything will be done, you can train here with peace of mind. ”
I always feel like I've made a terrible decision.
