Chapter 20: Psionic Migration
"Psionic Redshift Strength 2, Blueshift Strength 4...... The chip is intact and there are no traces of disassembly......"
The middle-aged fat cat bit a lollipop and flipped through Russell's physical examination report, revealing a distressed expression: "Ah, that's the case...... Isn't it just that you can only be assigned to the Special Operations Department? β
Russell also met his uncle for the first time...... It was only just now that he learned from the inferior that his name was Dodgeson.
β¦β¦ How to say it, although they are all cats, the coat color is still a little similar. But after all, both the coat color and the stripes that are characteristic of the spirit relatives are completely different.
Russell and Alice are both dune cat breeds, but his uncle is clearly not as light and small as Russell.
There is no doubt that -
Just by this weight, you can see that he is obviously a big orange.
Dodkison always squinted, had a lot of flesh on his cheeks, had a gentle and lazy temperament, and seemed to be a good old man with a good temper.
He draped his coat over his shoulders, relying on his heavy shoulders to keep it from slipping off. And the shirt he wore inside was black - although Russell didn't know anything about the brand, he could understand that it was a very expensive dress just by looking at it.
Russell also noticed a point. That is, both he and Amirus's leather boots are pointed.
Is this a particular feature of the director's attire?
My uncle's round belly was not a hard fat meat, but a soft and elastic touch. After Russell accidentally touched it just now, his first reaction turned out to be "I want to touch it again".
"Although I also guessed when I watched the news yesterday, you can kill on the airship, most likely because you have awakened your spiritual energy."
Dodkison, director of the orange cats, sighed: "But...... Alas......"
"What happened to the Special Operations Department?"
Russell subconsciously asked, "Awakened psionic energy, can't it only be assigned to the Special Operations Department?" β
"That's what I said. But after all, the work of the Department of Special Operations is much more dangerous. β
Dodkison spoke, squeaking and biting the lollipop in his mouth, and his words became blurred because of this: "The general job of the Executive Department is to arrest criminals, capture psionic mercenaries and the like, but the Special Enforcement Department is usually responsible for dealing with demons, dangerous people like demons, or intelligent criminals like psionic hackers...... Oh, you should know about demons, right? I guess Amirus must have told you last night.
"With his suspicious personality, he must have given you a medical examination."
"Hmm."
Russell nodded.
Although he knew about it before he graduated, there was no need to correct it.
But...... Suspicious?
It's not obvious. But if you want to say it, if you look back at his actions, there are indeed some traces of this......
"But no matter what, you, as a spontaneously awakened psyker, still have to enter the Special Operations Department."
Dodkison's brow furrowed, his eyes narrowed as he thought as he explained to Russell, "It's not like you're going to do anything...... I was going to put you in an idle position. For example, if you are put in the PR department, you can become a PR manager in two or three years. β
ββ¦β¦ The PR manager still forgot it. β
Russell shook his head helplessly and refused.
Don't be a PR manager anymore - he's afraid he's going to die suddenly and then travel to the next world.
"You don't understand this...... In Tianen Group, the public relations department is the core department. It belongs to the four excellent jobs that work less and get off work early and get promoted faster," Dodgson said, sighing, "But the executive department is hard work." The Special Operations Department is even more dangerous...... But you've awakened your psionic powers, and if you don't go to the Special Enforcement Department, I'm afraid you'll go to jail. β
ββ¦β¦ What does this say? β
Russell was a little dazed: "Am I still breaking the law if I am not an executive officer?" β
"βbecause the essence of psionic energy is desire."
At this time, it is the inferior who stands quietly on the sidelines.
He said flatly: "Desire will always swell and will not stop. However, the speed at which people learn, master, and comprehend will become slower and slower...... This means that your blueshift will never grow faster than your redshift. Of course, redshift can also be reduced if it is done through psychotherapy, or if the memory is removed altogether.
"But when the blueshift and the redshift coincide, the phenomenon of 'transmigration' occurs. Only then will you know the true name of your psionic energy and know everything about it. From this point on, your redshift will only go up, not down. After that, if you can't release your psionic energy, you continue to suppress it...... Out of control is probably a matter of months or weeks. β
"In other words, when my red moves to the value of four, will it be the true sense of the awakening psionic ability......
Russell muttered.
Dodgson shrugged, "yes." If you wish, you can also undergo psychotherapy and give up psionic powers...... But, would you be willing? β
Give up psionics?
- Who would want to?
It's not just about getting superpowers.
When Russell put on Alice's mask, he had a special sense of surging inside him...... It was an unprecedented thrill.
Just like the actor taking the stage for the first time.
That sense of immersion.
"I guess I understand," Russell nodded slowly, "I really won't give up psionics. But what is release? β
"This is also one of the missions of the Special Operations Department."
The inferior replied very smoothly: "The naturally awakened psionics are different from those pseudo-objects that are suppressed and always in a safe situation. You are bound to have a 'migration' phenomenon...... And in order not to go crazy when you move, you need to release your desires in advance.
"Think about it. The hallucinations you see when you awaken your psionic abilities should have revealed your 'mission' β the manifestation of your deepest desires. If you increase the 'Red Shift' in a ritualistic way by completing a mission, instead of relying on strong feelings and desires to explode your spiritual energy, you will also be permanently solidified and will not descend to the next level of spiritual energy. In fact, this is equivalent to a 'migration' in advance.
"If you advance at every level of psionic power, you will progress in this way...... Then eventually, when the 'transfer' occurs, the mental stress on you will be minimized.
"And after the shift, there is no way back. You have to keep using your psionic powers, or you'll keep building up stress. But if you're not in the Special Enforcement Department, the indiscriminate use of psionic energy will attract the Executive Department - after all, no one knows what your rituals, your mission, or your psionic abilities are. I don't know when you're going to turn into a demon. β
In other words, do you have to use psionic energy from time to time to vent your fire......
Russell was thoughtful.
Indeed, he did have a sense of exhilaration when he used psionic powers.
But.
"Quest ......"
Russell muttered.
The inferior nodded, and once again emphasized carefully: "You must know, ask your own heart." At that time, the strongest feeling was that you had to complete the 'mission' and the ritual necessary to improve your psionic energy using the regular means. β
β¦β¦ When it comes to hallucinations when you wake up, it's the space full of candles and picture frames.
Speaking of which, when his mother Alice's face was filled in one of the frames, Russell's first reaction was "Why is the other one empty, do you have to wait for me to kill my father and suck it in".
After all, the parents' photo frames are neat and tidy when they are placed together.
- But if you think about it, it certainly can't be a requirement for a neat family. After all, Russell had too many picture frames in that illusion, and his family simply didn't have enough for them.
And those two picture frames are actually quite far apart...... It's about the same distance from the picture frames in the dark.
And, the psionic energy comes from the deep desires of the heartβ
Russell was full of gratitude and love for Alice. It was a great mother, who raised him hard in every possible way, never treated him badly, and gave Russell the best he could. She never even got angry with Russell, let alone scolded him.
It's just that although Russell's memory is sealed, he is precocious after all - seeing his mother working so hard, he himself has become harder.
However, the father who left him since he was a child, and even ran away with the money, can only say...... Russell didn't kill him, just because Russell promised his mother that he wanted to be a person who could live in the sun.
Russell's innermost desire could not have wished that these two photographs would be placed together.
Taking a step back - this is still based on the psionic ability of his memories from his past life, not Russell after his memories were sealed. At that time, it was impossible for him to know his current parents.
β¦β¦ However, Russell did have a strong desire at the time.
That is, fill up the rest of the picture frame.
