Chapter 12: The Runaway
Meng Fan knew before that this praying mantis and falcon had "special abilities".
But he thought that this ability was only for ghosts, but he didn't expect it to be useful for people.
It's scary to hear the falcon say that!
Let others do what they want, others have to do it, this ability is simply everyone's dream.
"Mr. Falcon, what do you mean by saying that I inherited the forbidden power of the praying mantis?"
Meng Fan looked at his pitch-black right hand, he had a faint guess in his heart, and estimated that this guess was not far from ten.
That is, what kind of awakened person has he become, and he also has this forbidden power?
"What do you mean? Literally, of course, you inherit the forbidden power of the praying mantis, and you also become an Awakened.
Still, boy, don't think it's a good thing to be an Awakened One.
If I could, I'd rather be an ordinary person than be this bullshit awakened person at all! ”
Falcon looked indignant, and from his tone, it seemed that he was envious of ordinary people.
Meng Fan was very strange, and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it a good thing to have this kind of superpower?" ”
Falcon sneered, "Superpowers? Hehe! There is a price to pay for acquiring any ability, do you think there is no price for us to get this ability? ”
"At what cost?"
"At the cost of life! Becoming an Awakened and having this inhuman power proves that you won't be able to live long. ”
"What does that mean?"
"Because of the forbidden power, there is also a risk of losing control, and once the awakened person gets out of control, it is death.
Not only will you die, but your body will also become a monster that only knows how to harm people, and this kind of monster is called a runaway person.
The praying mantis that just grabbed your neck is the one who is out of control!
Also, once the awakened person dies, they will also become out of control and start harming people, as is the case with praying mantises. ”
"Isn't there a way to stop the runaway?"
"There is a way, but it's too difficult. For example, when you know that you are about to lose control, you introduce a second forbidden force into your body, and the two forbidden forces may compete with each other, and you may reach a kind of equilibrium, so that you can live for a longer period of time.
However, the success rate of this situation is very low, and it can be said that it is a life of nine deaths.
And even if it is successful, it can only live for a longer period of time, and after a long time, there will still be a risk of getting out of control. ”
"Isn't there a way to completely solve the problem of getting out of control?"
"Theoretically, there is such a way."
"What's the solution?"
"Turn yourself into a taboo!"
"Huh?"
"This method only exists in theory, and no one seems to have actually done it yet.
In fact, those of us who are awakened can no longer be regarded as human beings in essence, and can be said to be half a taboo.
So when you become an Awakened One, that female corpse will give up chasing you.
Maybe in her eyes, you are no longer human.
And what she wants to kill is people! ”
Meng Fan said excitedly: "So you mean that that female ghost won't come to kill me again?" ”
Falcon nodded and said, "It should be so, if she wants to kill you, she won't leave just now, because in the battle she fought with me just now, she actually had the upper hand." ”
Meng Fan was a little puzzled: "How can this be, didn't you still detain her yesterday?" Although she ran away in the end, she was clearly no match for you. ”
Falcon was also a little puzzled, and said in a somewhat complicated tone: "I don't know about this, but she is indeed much stronger than her yesterday, I don't know why she has strengthened so much overnight!" ”
However, this kind of doubt does not bother Falcon too much, because for forbidden things, it is normal for strange things to happen.
For Meng Fan, no matter whether the female ghost has become weaker or stronger, as long as she no longer comes to chase and kill herself, then it has nothing to do with herself.
"By the way, why did the forbidden power in his body inherit to me when the praying mantis wanted to kill me after he got out of control?"
This question is actually what Meng Fan is most curious about.
At that time, the posture of the praying mantis was not to pass on the forbidden power to itself at all, but to obviously kill itself.
"It's useless to ask me this question, it only proves that your physique is special, many people have become awakened inexplicably after facing taboos and forbidden powers, you have to ask why, no one can answer clearly."
Falcon paused for a moment and said with a wry smile: "But you kid is indeed special, the female corpse chased you twice, but she didn't kill you, it's a miracle." ”
Meng Fan said with a smile: "The female corpse didn't kill me, it's not thanks to your help. But today I found out one thing, that is, the female corpse seems to be afraid of the mirror, and I dragged her with the mirror so that I could wait for you to rescue her. ”
Falcon was surprised: "The female corpse is afraid of the mirror, this is information that we don't know, we have to record it." ”
"But the mirror can only hold her back for a while, and she seems to have a corrosive ability to corrode the mirror."
"Even if it can only be blocked for a while, it is still very important information, and many times it can be life-saving, such as you escaped today.
When we saw the female corpse yesterday, you were lying next to the female corpse, and we all thought you were dead, but you got up again, but you didn't die.
This is very abnormal, maybe you will be affected by the forbidden power and become an awakened person by then. ”
Meng Fan was puzzled: "It's unlikely, I didn't find out that I have any special abilities yesterday?" ”
Falcon shook his head and said, "No one knows this, anyway, you have inherited the forbidden power of the praying mantis now, and you can be 100% sure that you are the Awakened." ”
"Then if I become an Awakened One, will I also be like you said, and I will lose control and become a monster who only knows how to harm people? Oh, you call this monster a runaway. ”
"You have just become an awakened person, it is impossible to get out of control in a short period of time, as long as you try not to use the forbidden power, you should be able to last a long time, don't be afraid!"
"By the way, what is the ability of this forbidden power that the praying mantis inherited from me?"
"The power of the praying mantis lies in the right hand, as long as it is touched by his right hand, it will be suppressed and unable to move, and it will be slaughtered by others, just like the acupoint technique in classical martial arts novels, and the fixation technique in Xianxia novels."
"So powerful?"
In fact, his right hand can not only be used on people, but also on taboos, but the use of taboos is extremely expensive, and it is easy to get out of control when it is used too many times.
In fact, no matter what forbidden ability is the same, the consumption of ordinary people is very small, and the use of taboo is very expensive, because ordinary people have no power to resist, while taboo objects have the power of taboo to resist.
The greater the power of resistance, the more you consume.
For example, if you use the forbidden power of your right hand on a B-class or even A-class taboo, the power from the taboo resistance may be able to make you lose control in one go! ”
