7. Temptation

"You say, what do you say? You have super, superpowers?! ”

Some stammered and repeated Wende's words, and Jiang Li's expression was also a little complicated.

"This kid-trick isn't funny at all!" She patted the table, wanting to emphasize that she didn't believe this kind of nonsense at all, but there was a hint of hope in her heart for no reason, "Are you serious?" ”

Winder shrugged, "What's the point of lying about something like this that can be proven right away?" ”

"This ...... This is also ......" Jiang Li remembered the current situation, agreed with Wende's opinion, and then became a little excited, "So, you really have superpowers?" ”

Seeing Wende smiling and nodding, he immediately asked, "Then what can you do?" Bending a spoon out of thin air? Float the teacup? Control the flames? Can fly? ……”

Asking endlessly, Wende really didn't expect this girl to have so many ...... Bizarre thoughts.

At the same time, he kept smiling and shaking his head, only to make Jiang Li's expression depressed at a speed visible to the naked eye, "You still say that you are not a liar?" You don't know anything at all! ”

Wen Defang said: "Girl, what do you think of superpowers?" It's a science, too! It's just that the vast majority of people have not yet come into contact with it and understand it. If you want to master it, you also need to learn systematically and exercise rigorously......"

He moved some of the settings from the past or the future when he wrote online articles, "For example, superpowers are strictly called 'psychic', which means 'psychic energy'. It is divided into five categories in terms of direction, namely 'reinforcement', 'foreknowledge', 'manipulation', 'manifestation', and 'extra-argumentation', and their ......"

Jiang Li was only stunned for a moment, her eyes were about to become mosquito coil eyes, and when Wende finished her tirade and ate a few mouthfuls of food leisurely, she gradually recovered from the confused state of the truth, and gradually believed it because of the rich details, "...... After talking about it for a long time, what is your ability? "I haven't forgotten my purpose.

Winder replied, "My ability belongs to the manipulation category, if the specific effect is ...... It is capable of influencing human emotions. ”

"Affect mood?"

Jiang Li was surprised by Wende's incomprehension at first glance, so she further explained: "You should have heard that many human emotions are actually closely related to trace chemical elements secreted in the body, such as the well-known adrenaline, which is related to emotions such as excitement and nervousness. And the essence of my ability is to stimulate the production of these hormones, so as to achieve the effect of affecting the mood. ”

Jiang Li understood, and then she was eager to try, "So you plan to affect my emotions to prove it?" ”

"Yes." Wende nodded, ignoring Jiang Li's inquiry, "Then what do I need to do?" "But there are some things that need to be told to you in advance. ”

"What?"

"I've just mastered my abilities, so there are still a lot of limitations." Winder cocked up a finger, "First of all, I have a limited amount of emotions I can influence, and I'll try to make you feel 'scared' later, rather than asking for it by name." ”

waited for Jiang Li to happily agree, and then continued: "Similarly, the way I influence is also very limited, and I must have physical contact. ”

Jiang Li hesitated and asked tentatively, "Is it okay to shake hands?" When he got an affirmative answer, he agreed, "That's no problem." Then he stretched out his hand, "Shall we start now?" ”

Wende was not in a hurry, "There are still some things that need to be told to you in advance, the commonly known 'mind reading' and the legendary 'hypnotism' are theoretically existing in terms of psionic energy. However, they have similar limitations to my abilities, that is, they require the cooperation of the participants, and hostility and defensiveness will have an impact, which will weaken the results caused by the abilities, or even ineffective......"

Slowly speaking out the prepared words, Jiang Li, who was not surprised, hesitated, and retracted her outstretched hand, obviously thinking about what to do if Wende's ability was not to affect emotions, but to read minds or hypnosis.

This result was obviously harmful to Winder's desire to dispel Jiang Li's vigilance, but he had to do it.

Because Jiang Li found out that he existed, the way of contact was not very good, and it was difficult to judge how serious her vigilance was. Even if it has been weakened a lot now, I don't dare to take it lightly.

Because Wende knew that it was because Jiang Li was attracted too much attention by the mysterious word superpower, and when she was alone and thinking about it afterwards, she would inevitably think more and be more confused - problems like mind reading and hypnosis are almost unavoidable, who said that they appear most often in film and television works?!

So instead of making Jiang Li feel a pimple in her heart at that time, Wen De would rather put the problem in the light and make a calm, open and honest appearance.

In this way, Jiang Li can dispel all her doubts, and if there are any problems, difficulties, and troubles in the future, he will be the first to think of him, instead of putting his energy into indifferent vigilance and temptation......

Therefore, Wende didn't care much about Jiang Li's hesitation and hesitation, but said a cold joke, "Actually, you don't have to worry so much, if I really have that ability, the first time we met was the best time." He gestured, "Lose consciousness for a while, and then listen to me for everything." ”

That's right, Jiang Li admitted, but the decision in her heart was not so good, Wende didn't urge, picked up the chopsticks and compared, "Let's eat first, or the dishes will be cold." ”

The familiar taste of the dishes made Wende have an appetite, and he added three bowls of rice in a row to eat it to his heart's content. Compared with him, Jiang Li was a little unate, whether she should trust Wende was a question, and after a while, she picked up her phone and stretched out her right hand, "There are a lot of people here, you'd better not have any bad intentions." ”

Winder laughed, "You should believe in my sincerity." Reach out and hold Jiang Li's hand.

Jiang Li's hands were small and slender, warm and dry, something that Wende was familiar with, and had never felt before. But when I came into contact again at this time, and felt a little calloused because of exercise, my heart was a little swaying, and I forced down my inexplicable emotions, Wende smiled: "We have some unique skin care products there, do you want to try them?" ”

Jiang Li tilted her head, "Are you very good at pleasing girls?" ”

"Nope." Winde replied meaningfully, "You deserve to be treated like this." ”

Jiang Li didn't know how to respond, so she could only treat her in silence. Seeing this, Wen De didn't dare to continue to tease, and dived into activating his ability.

Don't look at Wende's superpowers before Jiang Li's talk about the head is the Tao, and there is nothing wrong with the logic after a long speech. But in fact, to achieve the result of making Jiang Li feel frightened, the means have nothing to do with superpowers, and what Wende uses is actually one of the effects of Hanabi's core ability.

A method that uses physical contact as a precondition can indeed make Jiang Li feel frightened.

Jiang Li did feel it. When the two of them held hands together for nearly a minute, at a moment without warning, she suddenly noticed that the light in the room had dimmed suddenly, and subconsciously focused her attention, and suddenly found that what was in front of her was no longer Wende, but the spider that made her feel the most scared and panicked, and it was the size of a basin!

The roots of her hair stood on end all of a sudden, and her body became stiff, she tried her best to suppress her exclamations, but she subconsciously made a dodge movement, but it turned out that she smoothly withdrew her hand from the prepared Winder's hand.

In the next moment, the spider, the source of fear, vanished, the light returned to normal, and Winder reappeared in her field of vision.

Jiang Li still had palpitations, gasping and looking around, a little incredulous, "What was it just now?!" ”

"There are many reasons for fear, and depending on your reaction, you probably see something that scares you, right?" Winder smiled and reassured, handing over the prepared warm tea, "Those are all illusions, it doesn't matter." At the same time, he didn't forget to seize the time to confess and correct the impression in Jiang Li's heart, "It's still difficult to do this with my ability, and this time my luck is really good." ”

Jiang Li glared at him angrily, "Why do I think this is bad luck." I wanted to say something more, but suddenly I heard a faint human voice at hand, turned my head to look, and found that she had just unconsciously pressed the dial button of the mobile phone because of nervousness.

At this time, the 110 operator was on the other end of the phone, calling a little nervously.

Jiang Li looked at her phone, then looked up at Wende. Seeing that Winder smiled at her, she pursed her lips reflexively, and she had a decision in her heart. She put her phone to her ear and said in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, I was just explaining to my friend how to call the police, and I found that I accidentally connected it." ”

After a few more nice words, he hung up, put the phone on the table, and the room fell into a slightly strange silence.

There was an unexpected interruption in the alarm, but Jiang Li took advantage of the situation to get rid of the psychological emotion of fear. That's when she had the time to think about the meaning of the act of fear itself.

The first reaction was excitement, this world really has superpowers!

But then, her expression became solemn again, and she began to think about what effect her superpowers would have on her.

It took a long time for Jiang Li to ask a little hesitantly: "You came to contact me on purpose, why?" ”

"Because you have this qualification, you can be one of us, and that's the premise of noticing you. But also to investigate your mind, which is the key to deciding whether or not to engage with you. "As you can see, our abilities are powerful and difficult to guard against for ordinary people, so once they are mastered by those with evil intentions, they can cause incalculable harm. ”

Jiang Li has always dreamed of being a righteous hero, and when she heard Wende say this, her eyes couldn't help but brighten a little, "That's why you only acted like that before?" So now you are contacting me to recruit me to join you? ”

"No, no, no. Joining the organization is a relatively long process, and for now, it's just a matter of making you a 'seed'. Wende hurriedly dispelled Jiang Li's thoughts.

In addition to dispelling his vigilance, the main reason why he used such rhetoric to contact Jiang Li was that he wanted Jiang Li to realize his wish to become an "excellent criminal policeman" and at the same time, he could have more insurance means in the face of danger.

Superpowers and psionic abilities are all said for this purpose, and they are not intended to win over Jiang Li to join an unwarranted organization.

It would be terrible for her to have such thoughts! Not to mention anything else, where can Winder conjure up things like werewolves and vampires?

So Wende said to Jiang Li: "The seed is equivalent to a reserve, and before you officially enter the organization, we need to exercise, take exams, and supervise you to a certain extent to ensure that you are ready to face danger when you enter the organization." ”

Jiang Li was a little disappointed, "How long will that take?" ”

"It's been a long process." Wende looked at himself, "Even I'm just a person who has just joined the organization and is currently in charge of logistics and leading work. ”

He calculated in his heart that Jiang Li still had more than two years to graduate from college, and her mother's lack of support made it difficult for her to become a criminal policeman as soon as she graduated. There is still plenty of time, enough for Wende to explore other worlds and get something that can keep Jiang Li safe. I think Jiang Li should be given some hope, "For you, it is conservatively estimated that it will take about three years." ”

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, "That's not too long." Curious, "What do I need to do if I say yes?" ”

"It's not much different from what you're doing now, study hard and keep a good and optimistic attitude. The difference is that I will be your single point of contact for your psionic exercises and exams. Winder thought for a moment and added, "Other than that, there's your relationships that you might need sometimes. ”

Jiang Li nodded as if she didn't understand, and after thinking about it, she was a little embarrassed, "I need to think about this matter." ”

"Of course." Wende understood very well that such a decision was a major decision in Jiang Li's life, so he didn't rush, "You have two days to think about it, and if you decide, you know that you can find me there." He smiled brightly at Jiang Li, "Your stalking skills are really not very good." ”

Jiang Li lowered her head embarrassedly and promised in a low voice, "I understand." ”

There seemed to be nothing more to say next, Jiang Li was a little eager to say something, as if she wanted to say goodbye and felt embarrassed. Wende turned a blind eye, and after pretending to ponder for a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand and threw out the last bait that attracted Jiang Li's curiosity so that she would never run off the hook, "Since you have learned so much, then this can be taught to you according to the rules." ”

Jiang Li was a little puzzled, but at Wende's signal, she still stretched out her hand to shake Wende.

There was another period of silent contact.

A moment later, Jiang Li saw another Wende in her mind.

He stood in a clearing in a brightly lit environment, his eyes closed, his chest heaving and his breathing long.

Jiang Li was instinctively taken aback, and wanted to withdraw her hand but was tightly held by Wende, and he reminded: "Don't panic, this is a normal situation." Pay attention to the rate of your breathing. ”

It took some time for Jiang Li to calm down again, and then pay attention to the breathing rhythm of the figure in her head according to Wende's prompts, and soon discovered more wonderful phenomena.

- Once she focused on her breathing rate, she quickly had new knowledge in her mind that didn't exist before. Tell her exactly how often she breathes, what to do, how to do this, and how to avoid bad situations.

The shadow breathing in the brain takes about two minutes to cycle, and the cycle returns. After Jiang Li watched it three times, her own breathing rate unconsciously tended to be similar to it.

Three more times, Jiang Li has already entered the respiratory rate without the leadership of the figure in her head.

So it was over for the time being, the figure in her brain disappeared, Jiang Li opened her eyes again, and asked with some excitement: "What was that just now?" Psionic exercise? ”

"The method of teaching commonly used by our organization is more accurate than words and images, because it is a kind of empirical memory." Wende smiled and said, "As for the content, it's just a basic breathing method. ”

He said it very lightly, but this breathing method is actually not ordinary, it is an exercise method that has never appeared in this world and Wende's hometown, and can be summarized under the "supernatural".

It is also the only supernatural ability training method that Wende has mastered so far, except for the fireworks ability.

It was taught by Wende's Traveler Mentor and was divided into four types.

The first one, which Jiang Li has just learned, is also the most important for travelers. It can make them quickly enter a meditative state and feel the essence of the spark more intuitively. At the same time, it can also be more effective than sleep to restore the spirit.

The second breathing method can effectively cooperate with various exercises to achieve twice the effect with half the effort.

The third breathing technique can speed up the recovery of physical strength.

The fourth can stimulate the potential of the human body in a short period of time and gain greater strength.

Winder explained and demonstrated live.

In front of Jiang Li, he used two fingers to forcibly pinch a one-yuan coin into a semicircle, which made Jiang Li's eyes light up, "Since you are now able to breathe meditation on your own, then in the last three days, you can trigger the tutorial I left during meditation to learn the remaining three breathing methods." Learn them well – whether you decide to join us or not – the breathwork will be very helpful for you. ”
