Chapter 497: Chain Reaction (2)
【…… The power of the primordial mind comes from emotion. Paradoxically, we need to use our intellect to control this power. The growth of spiritual power is always accompanied by the confrontation between reason and emotion, and the way of balance lies in finding a belief that supports your growth, so that this belief can take root in your heart and become the fulcrum of balancing your emotions and reason...... Warriors condense their beliefs into an invincible "martial will", an incomparably powerful way of using psychic power, although it may be too stiff. The power of the mind is essentially a flexible and elastic power, a sublimation of the essence of the transcendent mind, and every forerunner of the spiritual path should discover his own spiritual path, and there is no force in the world that is more malleable than the power of the mind, just as nothing in the world can be compared with the kaleidoscopic changes of the mind. 】
Sadako Yamamura was awakened in a daze by the warning signal, and the audio lesson in the headphones was still playing unhurriedly. She glanced at the information interface of the character card, and her body suddenly tensed.
"Don't worry, gentle young lady." Sitting next to her was the red-haired Lazarus. The middle-aged man known as "Old Ancestor" glanced at her with dark eyes, "You're waking up too slowly. If I wanted to kill you, you'd already be dead ten times. ”
The temperature in the cabin was a comfortable 28 degrees Celsius, but Sadako Yamamura felt a little sweat break out on her back. Lazarus, who sat next to her, was holding a newspaper with a pair of large sunglasses covering half of her face.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you, no matter what way you think about it. It's better for me and my broken team to live than you lived. "The ancestor flipped through a page of the newspaper, and his face didn't turn from beginning to end." Maybe you won't believe it, but my luck in this life is not very good. Experienced a more unfortunate event than the current situation...... More than a hundred times. It's better to say that this situation is just a defection of a team member, which makes me breathe a sigh of relief......"
Sadako Yamamura didn't answer, and she couldn't explain why she followed the other party's captain to Asia as a supernatural detective. In fact, both teams didn't feel that Lazarus' trip to the East was of much significance, but the captaincy gave "Old Ancestor" an unnegligible amount of dominance, and when there was a discussion within the team about whether or not he needed to be monitored closely, he volunteered......
Xiao Qi needs to participate in the first actual battle of the main quest, and Ah Luo needs to sit in the center of the demon force as the strongest support combat power at present. Ms. Lu entered the financial hinterland to carry out business regulation, while Ah Jing laid the foundation for the overall strategy in the future...... The only idler is himself.
"You know what? The reason why I studied Oriental metaphysics. The most valuable skill learned is divination. As if bored, Lazarus's box was opened and closed, and the red-haired old man always had an unfathomable sense of incomprehension, "Reading from the unknowable that can predict the future with coins, tortoise shells, hay, stars, and even any kind of randomly generated natural phenomenon." I didn't believe in this kind of thing at first, and it wasn't until the skill saved me several times that I started to study seriously. ”
“…… Did you divinate the betrayal of Konstantin? Sadako Yamamura instantly understood what he was trying to say. And you chose to come to Asia to avoid the whirlpool of turmoil? ”
"To be precise, I didn't come up with the fact that Konstantin had a problem by divination." Lazarus shrugged and flipped through another page of the newspaper. "This man, I can smell the ominous smell of him from ten meters away. When you've met a lot of people, it's natural to divide a pattern from the crowd. What kind of people will succeed. what kind of people fail; What kind of people are trustworthy, what kind of people you will stick a knife into your ribs as soon as you turn around; What kind of woman is worthy of your love. What kind of woman will take your money and slip away...... It's already an instinct of mine. There was an air of sorrow and depravity in the sorcerer's body, and he tried to pretend to be a prodigal son. But in essence, he is an egoist, maybe he thinks he has a bottom line, but his life is made up of 'last resort' and 'sacrifice of others'. When I meet this kind of person, my first reaction is to get as far away from him as possible, unfortunately it is an infectious disease, although I have lived for a long time, I am not noble enough to sacrifice myself for such a man. ”
“…… Then you said that you came to find traces of the supernatural powers of the East, ......" Sadako Yamamura straightened his words.
"I can tell from the first breath I took after coming to this world that there are no immortals, Taoist priests, or Buddhas in this world...... Something like that. There is a very subtle sense between the Qi refiners, and this world is very clean and pure, and the only supernatural power is the polar power of angels and demons. So you guessed it right, I came to Asia to avoid turmoil. Lazarus picked up the flask with his rough fingers with a jasper ring and poured it into his mouth, "Divination is not a very intuitive and detailed prediction, but a vague sign. I didn't know what he was going to do, but I felt the danger coming - as I expected, your cards were beautiful, and in an instant, I felt the golden power rising from the other side of the earth...... But it doesn't last, right? ”
His fingers twirled around the flask and he groaned for a moment.
"I've only faced a gold-level adventurer twice, and I've faced the power that changed the world. These two adventures were the most memorable experiences of my life. But...... They are not invincible. Even gold-level power can be defeated if you find your way. But, no matter what, gold-level power is enough to change the scales in an instant. And for our side, it is very important to have an equal stake. Konstantin is out of the group, and only me and the alien guy and the little mouse are left...... I need a hostage. ”
"Me?" Sadako Yamamura asked, biting her lip.
"I won't hurt you, girl. I don't like to hurt women, it's against my personal morality. But I have a lot of ways to restrain you. Lazarus' red hair swayed slightly.
"I ...... It is possible to leave this plane at any time, as long as I want. Sadako Yamamura insisted, "My manifest speed can be done in an instant. Even if it's you...... Also...... Nor can it stop me. And I can transform my body into a form you can't hurt at any time......"
"If you are five meters away from me, I will start killing people." Old Ancestor said calmly.
Sadako Yamamura didn't speak.
"We're 10,000 meters above sea right now. There were 153 people on this plane, apart from you and me. All I need is a sword to pierce the plane's engine, perhaps a straight wing. All these hundred and fifty-three people will fall in the middle of the sea. Old Ancestor explained in a gentle tone, "Maybe you think there is a way to save all these one hundred and fifty-three people, but - to state in advance, violence, killing, these are my last resort, I am a pacifist - I will go on a killing spree in the nearest city from here." Unless you can destroy me in an instant, someone will die for your choice. ”
Sadako Yamamura sat motionless in her seat.
"As I said before, I can quickly see the essence of a person. And in your ranks, you are the most vulnerable to coercion. If it's your lover. The man with the smell of xenomorphism, he would gladly go to war with me at once, not caring at all about the hostages on the plane; If it was that little woman, she might be quicker to kill than I am...... And you, you are a kind and good girl, the only child in this group of murderers, thieves, and liars who keeps her heart pure. ”
Lazarus sighed in a mournful tone.
"Well, your boyfriend should have heard enough. I know he's kept in touch with you. ”
The cell phone in Sadako Yamamura's bag rang, and she quickly made a gesture to silence the ringtone with a little trick of psychic power. She glanced at the caller. He handed the phone directly to Lazarus. The latter directly pressed the hands-free answer button.
[Hello, Lord Lazarus. 】
"Mr. Su, if you heard the conversation just now, then you should know what card I am holding in my hand. I believe that there is still a possibility of reconciliation...... Konstantin's betrayal was a great disservice to both of us. His purpose is to provoke war between us - in a dangerous situation surrounded by demons and angels - and your fellow mages should be searching for Van Newven right now, as a word of advice, this alien guy is not easy. ”
The man on the other side of the phone politely waited for him to finish.
[I admire your sanity. But allow me to ask a few small questions. 】
"Say it." Lazarus emptied the jug of the liquor.
[First.] Have you looked into me? 】
"Su Jing, when she last appeared, she was assessed as a five-star star. However, estimated at the growth rate, it should have entered the six-star field. The character is arrogant, precipitous, and unscrupulous. The mental age should be lower than that of the average person...... I'm just reading from the information, no offense. From my personal point of view, you have a strong romantic mind...... So your actions are predictable in a certain way. ”
[It seems that you have a deep understanding of me. Well, you should know that I am a person who does not get angry very often, because I always try to find all kinds of fun out of life...... Except in rare cases, it is ...... Someone threatened me with someone I loved very much. I would be very, very, very angry. 】
"It's romantic, Mr. Sue." Old Ancestor licked his lips, "I don't want to use such unseemly tactics if the situation allows, but for now, it seems that the only way for me to safely return to the Western world is to threaten." Van Newwen's cyber surveillance told me that eighty seconds ago, you had that mechanical girl hack into a secret military base, and more than twenty tactical nuclear missiles had been aimed at the plane - a reminder, someone had tried a similar trick and it didn't work for me. ”
[Second question, do you know the girl sitting next to you?] Have you ever heard that there is a mind mode that can quickly switch to another channel with a single prompt word? 】
"Ah Jing, don't!" Sadako Yamamura's face suddenly showed a panicked look.
[I'm sorry, my dear, your safety is more important to me than a qiē in this world. The key word is "Kuroshio". 】
Sadako Yamamura's eyeballs were flooded with pure black for a moment. The next second, Lazarus. The dragon unleashed the True Yuan with all its might, and its soft power skyrocketed at high speed, slicing the airliner in two. The icy atmosphere instantly poured into the cabin, and the pressure formed a turbulence in the atmosphere, sucking a qiē out of the cabin - as it should be.
A nightmarish psychic force has taken control of the entire plane, leaving the plane that should have been destroyed and disintegrated in its original structure. The viscous, cold, slippery force caressed the surface of the Qi Refiner's True Yuan shield, scraping into a highly corrosive groove.
“…… Look away. ”
The Ancestor stared at the monster in front of him and let out a self-deprecating sigh.
The black spiritual power carries the pure white life. She meandered and spread, crawling through the cabin, devouring the souls of one living person after another. She'd been hungry for too long, had been locked up for too long, pain and fear, thirst for black emotion, she let out a growl.
[It's been a long time, the little Sadako of the beast demon.] Say hello to Lord Lazarus. (To be continued......)
