Chapter 304 Thunder and Rain

The space mages took off their heavy red robes and put on their white coats; Like a countryman who entered the city, he entered a completely unfamiliar real yàn room.

In the past, I only used the spatial coordinates to peek at the structure and appearance of this place, but now when I come in person, the feeling is different. Looking at the appearance of these people, Zhou Heng was a little helpless, but it seemed that he would have to wait for them to be familiar with it for a while before he could officially start researching.

In addition to computers, there are also all kinds of auxiliary tools in the institute - Zhou Heng's real room has many auxiliary props, electronic devices on the earth, supercomputers in the science fiction world, and even the induction magic array in the magic world; These things are the basis for Zhou Heng to quickly organize a superpower with strong combat power in this war; The next task to be given to these space mages may not necessarily use these things, but it is always a good idea to familiarize them with them.

The learning process was as simple and crude as ever. Inject the summarized information directly into these people's heads, and the rest is very simple. However, in order to familiarize them with the work, Zhou Heng first gave them a relatively simple task. Find a relatively stable spatial rift that will serve as the address for a new institute in the future.

Taking advantage of their familiarity with the real environment, Zhou Heng pondered the study of the 'Soul Fall' by himself.

The 'Soul Fall' is a special item that allows two human bodies to be swapped, which is of course the most basic usage. This ability itself is not particularly useful, in contrast, Zhou Heng is a little more interested in its other function—it allows one's soul and consciousness to become one.

This kind of change is something that Zhou Heng has never heard of. Although it is not uncommon for anything to appear under the rules of the other world, there are two things: consciousness and soul. After all, it is not born of pure fantasy - it is difficult for humans to imagine what a world of 1+1=3 is like. Many of the rules in the existing world are things that are difficult to change by fantasy.

Consciousness and soul are one such phenomenon. They are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other, changing their properties, in essence, it is equivalent to growing a mouth that can breathe fire or giving a person a head that can move freely out of the body, although it is not impossible to achieve under otherworldly conditions, but this phenomenon is still too rare after all.

Zhou Heng inquired about the situation of the 'Soul Fall' from these cultists, but found that these guys didn't know exactly how this prop worked. The 'Soul Pendant' itself isn't actually very common - although it drops every time the Cursed Dragon appears, it takes a lot of mana for the Cursed Dragon to appear; This is not an easy spell for otherworldly people with limited magical power. Cursed dragons have been summoned less than ten times by heretics since they became gods, and soul falls are something that can only be condensed when magic burns extremely quickly. In the end, only two 'soul pendants' were produced.

The two 'soul pendants' were kept by the two lords, and after Zhou Heng found the two people, he confiscated their pendants. As in the game, the 'Soul Pendant' in their hands has been polished and strung with Mithril Chains, making them two very beautiful necklaces. Zhou Heng tried it and found that the effect of these things was similar to his own; However, when he put a necklace together with his 'soul pendant', a strange scene occurred - two stones were actually combined into one. The appearance and function have not changed, but the size has doubled.

After discovering this phenomenon, Zhou Heng's heart moved, and he managed to cut a small piece on the relatively small 'Soul Pendant'. Then I used this small piece to make a real yàn. The small pieces of cut crystals will no longer work after the souls of the dozen or so people in the Executive Department have been fixed - although it is possible to continue to make the two of them swap bodies. But the effect of fusing souls is no longer there.

It seems that 'Soul Fall' is clearly limited in its use.

I didn't expect it to be consumables, which surprised Zhou Heng; If the number of effects is related to the volume, the three 'soul pendants' on hand now can change the nature of about one hundred and fifty souls. And Zhou Heng had used this kind of prop on seven or eight people before, and the 'Soul Fall' of those cultists had also been used several times, and it seemed that this kind of thing could not be used indiscriminately in the future - to make a crystal, it would take a large amount of energy enough to make Zhou Heng's flesh ache for several days to summon the cursed dragon, and after the summoning was successful, the cursed dragon would have to be knocked down to obtain the crystal.

Not to mention whether the cursed dragon will be unhappy to be beaten by others, just the energy used for summoning is not something that can be squandered and wasted at will. Now there are thousands of parallel worlds that Wang Lu and the others have found, and the energy they can harvest every day is enough for their previous self to work for thousands of years to complete. But even so, the energy to summon a cursed dragon is still not a small amount - after all, the main god still needs to level up, and he will not be stingy with energy harvest in wartime, but it is better to moderate it in peacetime.

And the effect of refining souls seems to be becoming clearer and clearer.

It is needless to say that the Lord God said that the brain is clearer, the soul will not collapse due to transformation, and the endurance is stronger, and Zhou Heng also carried out a series of practical actions on this. People who have undergone soul refining have a faster reaction speed than ordinary people, their immunity is higher than that of normal people, the natural aging of some organs will slow down or even stop, and there will be some changes that are very different from most people's - their self-healing ability will produce some strange changes.

Generally, after the successful self-healing of trauma, it will not leave a scar on their body, and even if the bone is wrongly grafted after the fracture, it will not produce a situation such as long and crooked, but directly refuse to heal itself. The information in the soul dominates their entire body, so that they do not change according to their racial characteristics due to natural development.

In addition, it is the expression of superpowers.

The change in soul will not make these people encounter any obstacles in learning superpowers, on the contrary, their souls will not collapse with the change in their bodies. Zhou Heng has long been aware of this change, and what surprised him was the learning methods of some special kinds of abilities.

Since the last time Zhou Lu's ability changed, Zhou Heng has found several girls from different worlds from various worlds. Let's make them 'magical girls' with magic costumes. Of course. The purpose of this is not just to build combat power; Zhou Lu's situation is a bit special. I don't know the opportunity for her ability to change; The purpose of raising these girls is to find the possibility of allowing the same person to master multiple superpowers.

However, this reality has not actually improved. Since the beginning of the research, whether it is actual combat, training or equipment configuration, their combat conditions are exactly the same as Zhou Lu's, but until the end of the war, there are still no anomalies similar to Zhou Lu among them. Originally, Zhou Heng himself was about to give up on this matter, but this time it was really in the middle. There is a new discovery.

A young girl who has transformed the fire of her soul form by the 'Soul Fall' has a strange phenomenon in her training. The efficiency of using magic has increased, and the perception of faith has become sharper. Although no one else has changed, and it is still impossible to prove whether this change is a special case, Zhou Heng's research in this area has finally made a breakthrough.

The girl who has changed is called Lei Xiaoyu, and she is Lei Tianheng's daughter - because of the plug-in given to him by Zhou Heng, Lei Tianheng's current power is incomparable; But he was never a secure person, and although he now had a lot of power, he became interested in these things after hearing about the battle between the Paranormal and the Cultists. He wanted to get the ability from Zhou Heng. But Zhou Heng felt that he couldn't be half-hearted, so he didn't let him get involved. However, Lei Tianheng did not give up and sent his daughter over. It was said that Zhou Heng must be asked to teach her abilities, but Zhou Heng was helpless, so he let her join the actual battle this time.

Lei Xiaoyu was originally just a very timid girl, with braids and big black-rimmed glasses, although her appearance was quite cute, but because of her personality, she was not conspicuous in the crowd. She doesn't look very good on weekdays, and Zhou Heng hasn't taken any extra care of her; But what I didn't expect was that it was she who had a breakthrough now.

In the chanting of several surrounding church sacrifices, Lei Xiaoyu hurriedly drew magic patterns; As a result, due to a sudden mistake, there was an error in the drawing of the pattern, the golden light dissipated, and the magic failed. But even so, Zhou Heng still saw the result of this spell - according to the observation instrument, the process of this spell casting was essentially successful; Just like Herelli at the beginning, the reason for the failure was simply that there were some problems in the process of drawing the magic patterns.

Lei Xiaoyu's problem is different from Herelli's, who failed only because she was not skilled in this magic. After all, people like Zhou Lu who can learn it are only a minority, and in the other world, it is not uncommon to see cases of people who have been trying to pass the guò professional trial card for several years, and it has only been three or four months since Herelli learned this complex magic, and her speed is actually not slow. But Lei Xiaoyu is different - Zhou Heng can project knowledge and skills directly into her brain, so in terms of proficiency, Lei Xiaoyu will not have any problems.

What Zhou Heng wanted to do was to verify the impact and help of soul refining on superpowers, and Lei Xiaoyu provided him with precious real numbers; However, several attempts were unsuccessful, and Lei Xiaoyu became anxious. The more nervous, the more you fail; After a few more mistakes in front of everyone, tears began to roll in their eyes.

"Right...... I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou! It's sure to succeed next time, so try again! ”

Zhou Hengzheng and several researchers analyzed the real yàn number jù just observed, and replied casually: "No need, the real yàn number jù is enough, go back and rest." ”

"One more chance, next time will be successful......"

The female instructor next to her reprimanded: "What to try, let you go back, go back, where is so much nonsense." ”

was originally a female criminal from the outside world, but after being arrested by Zhou Heng, she became a staff member of the Enforcement Department; Although she won't do some bad things after being brainwashed, the nature of this female instructor hasn't changed much, and she has always been very strict when she was the instructor of these girls, so she reprimanded her directly.

Lei Xiaoyu begged, "Let me try again......"

The female instructor continued to speak venomously: "Shut up and go back quickly." ”

Because of her past prestige, and Lei Xiaoyu's popularity among girls is not particularly good, no one speaks for Lei Xiaoyu at this time. The atmosphere was a little strange, and even Zhou Heng noticed the abnormality. Lei Xiaoyu clenched his fists, tears streaming down his face, but even so. and did not leave as the female instructor said.

The female instructor opened her mouth to continue the reprimand. was stopped by Zhou Heng.

"Alright, alright. Be nice. Zhou Heng said, turned his head to Lei Xiaoyu and said, "The real number has been collected, and your table is very good." Now go back and rest, it's okay. ”

"But...... But it's coming to an end, and I must master this kind of magic......" Lei Xiaoyu was still a little choked up and said incoherently, "So please give it to me again...... One more time. I'm sure I'll be able to do it......"

Do you have to master magic? Zhou Heng quickly remembered the purpose of this little girl—because of her somewhat neurotic father, she was sent to learn abilities; Although she has now completed the real yàn, Lei Xiaoyu has not succeeded in using her skills. And now the number of magic costume props that can be stored at the same time is limited, according to the regulations, only girls who successfully use magic skills can keep magic props permanently, and others are implemented in batches, which is why Lei Xiaoyu is so persistent. Because of her father, she had to get superpowers and go back; However, until now, she had only borrowed this ability, which is why she was so persistent now.

Zhou Heng was about to tell her that since she had mutated, the magic costume props would naturally belong to her; According to Zhou Heng's cognition. The process of changing the costume props is somewhat similar to the props in some world systems; Although Zhou Lu's necklace can have all kinds of strange phenomena when she uses it herself, it is no different from an ordinary magic necklace after being handed over to others. And Lei Xiaoyu as the second successful person. There is no doubt about owning magic costume items. However, after thinking about it, Zhou Heng did not directly tell her the good news, but said, "Okay, you try again." ”

Lei Xiaoyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly prepared his magic spear, but he was ready to cast a spell. The magic costume prop used by Lei Xiaoyu is a hairpin - after the transformation, she looks like a heroic female warrior, although the green dress on her body is fancy, but the spear in her hand is a real cold weapon. There are two spear tips at the head and two at the tail, and when using the inherent magic, it can summon a huge blade to attack enemies. Seeing her weapon, Zhou Heng's heart moved; It happened that Lei Xiaoyu failed to cast a spell again because of his hecticism, and Zhou Heng asked the female instructor next to him.

"Why does she keep failing?"

"Who knows, probably not born with this piece of material." The female instructor said, "When I first took the test, the basic conditions were similar to those of other girls, and my physical balance was better than that of other girls; But it was too rough to do things, and in the end it was like that. ”

"Oh......"

Zhou Heng nodded, ran to say to a knight officer who was watching next to him, the knight officer nodded, and walked towards the field.

Failed three more times, Lei Xiaoyu bit his lip tightly, ready to cast the spell again; However, at this moment, a voice came from the side.

"Don't try the magic anymore, just do a few moves with me."

Lei Xiaoyu turned his head to see that it was the knight officer who had been standing next to him. Now that she has failed one after another, she doesn't know what to do; Hearing the knight's words, he followed him and made some basic movements. After a while, the knight officer returned to Zhou Heng and reported:

"Yes."

Zhou Heng nodded, and took Lei Xiaoyu, who was still unknown, to the real room. strengthened her body, and then 'taught' her a few knight class combat skills, and after a while, he returned to the special training room and let Lei Xiaoyu try again.

Faith as a medium is not only useful for sacrificial magic. Because of the different conditions of use, different professions can use it to create different professional skills. The two professions of the Church, knighthood and sacrifice, are two professions that are closely related to faith.

Lei Xiaoyu is not very good at the divine art of sacrifice, but his motor cells are unexpectedly good. A knight's combat skills require not only faith, but also a matching body; Rash transformation may destroy the soul, which Zhou Heng has not tried before; However, now that the soul has been refined, it will not be affected by the transformation, so Zhou Heng asked Lei Xiaoyu to try to use the knight's combat skills.

Lei Xiaoyu swung out with a sword, and a circle of white light spread out around her. This is the knight's high-level combat skill "Punishment Light", which itself is a group attack skill, and after Lei Xiaoyu used it with the power of a magical girl, the power is even more powerful; The nano glass in the training room was almost shattered by her blow, but thanks to the fact that the main god was next to her, she didn't cause any big trouble.

After Lei Xiaoyu successfully used his skills, he went back happily; Zhou Heng analyzed her skill count with the researcher again, and this time the real yàn was a complete success. Although I haven't been able to find a way to mass-produce this superpower, I have also obtained some valuable numbers. There is no doubt that 'Soul Fall' has a bonus for some skills related to the human soul. The change of Lei Xiaoyu should have a lot to do with soul refining.

After the end, the new cultists also completed the first task given to them by Zhou Heng.

Through a space door, Zhou Heng came to a strange space. A dark sky, a metal earth; Although there is no light source, you can clearly see the surrounding qiē. This is the spatial rift that these cultists have found—in the future, this will become Zhou Heng's new base camp. (To be continued......)
