Chapter 471: 'Common People'
In some unknown way, two people are linked together, and wounds and even death are synchronized to the other......
Lu Xiang listed the news he knew in a memo on his mobile phone.
A series of events on campus are enough to illustrate the effect of the other party's abilities, but if you dig deeper, you will find that almost all casualties have one thing in common - the "common people" are bound to the "nobles", whether they take poison, fall from the building or cut their wrists, their purpose is directly clear.
In the way of one life for one life, kill the object bound to them.
The dozens of people who survived the serious injuries were not shaken by their determination, but by a "mistake" in their means, allowing Jasmine to stabilize their situation before they died.
Just then, there was a knock on the door behind her.
Song Lan brought back the latest news from the "front line", "I went to the school hospital, and the seriously injured have basically stabilized. ”
That's the power of the Support Psionic Abilities, as long as the students are still breathing before they are taken to the school infirmary, Jasmine will be able to save them.
She was able to stabilize the situation with her psionic energy alone, which made Song Lan a little curious about her specific abilities.
"How's it going for me to ask you to inquire?"
Lu Xiang froze and asked, since she learned the true face of this ability, she has always felt a little wonderful, according to the coalition government's definition of psychic ability, it should be classified as a disruptive psychic ability, and this also means that in addition to the ability itself, the holder of the ability can force students to act harmful to themselves through the characteristics of interfering psychic.
In order to answer the questions in her heart, she specially asked Song Lan to go to the school infirmary.
"It was found that their mental state was normal, and there was no sign of being manipulated by psionic energy."
In fact, this result also surprised Song Lan.
As a detective, he applied for some time with the "common people" through Jasmine, and through conversation, he found that this did not seem to be a temporary idea, "They have hated those people since a long time, but they have no means to resist." ”
After learning what Yin Sabel and her followers were doing, he, as a melon-eating crowd with a neutral attitude, more or less understood the thoughts of the "common people".
It's just that the "aristocracy" often has some of the same characteristics.
For example, the school rules can't restrain them, even if they violate the laws of the coalition government, their advisers can always settle all the troubles for them, and the fate of the whistleblower, for the sake of Lu Xiang's mental health, Song Lan omitted some details.
For people living at the top of this society, money has never been a problem, and what restricts them is only the compatibility between machinery and flesh, but even so, 20% of the prosthetic implantation degree allows them to easily sweep away all the resistance from the "common people".
And they believe that the shadow of the self-proclaimed merchant only provides them with a weapon to resist.
In order to make the "nobles" pay, they were ready to sacrifice their lives.
"It's ...... Abilities that belong to the weak. ”
As Song Lan narrates, Lu Xiang comes to an answer that makes her feel incredible, and as she comes to this conclusion, she immediately realizes the danger of this ability to the coalition government, and the reason why they are trying their best to imprison it in the black pyramid.
From the perspective of the ability itself, once the effect is activated, it will ignore the transformation of psionics, prosthetics or flesh, and it puts the two sides who are linked in a state of complete equality, but if Song Lan's judgment is not wrong, then the rules of this ability activation have reached the point of harshness.
Hatred, and the consciousness of giving one's life.
This is undoubtedly an ability that only the weak will use when they want to take revenge on the strong.
For revenge, they willingly sell their consciousness and soul to the "devil".
When the strong swing the knife at the weak, there is no need to rely on this kind of lose-lose power at all.
However, even in the face of such harsh rules, they had dozens of casualties in just half a day.
What's even more ironic is that Daystar is already one of the fairest cities in the coalition government, and Lu Xiang can hardly imagine how much turmoil it will cause if he lets this ability holder leave District 7 and go to another city.
"It's not so much about ability as it's about giving people a weapon."
A weapon that once you have enlightenment, you will definitely make the object of hatred pay the price.
It is this era that gives it the soil to thrive, and the more people who hate it because of oppression, the more fertile the soil becomes.
And the last thing the company and the family want is for the lambs to the slaughter to get this weapon.
……
At the same time, Yin Sabel's ward.
"Oh, this is the future heir of the Iris Foundation, and he doesn't look like any different from other students."
Jasmine didn't respond to the playful voice.
She faced the shadows that grew from the corners of the wards in front of her, and assumed a fighting posture.
The Coalition Government's Handbook of Psionics refers to her as δ and one of the most dangerous psionics to date, after a six-star rescuer had died at her hands.
"But I'm more interested in you than they are."
At this moment, the monster hidden in the shadows was staring at her, "It's a pity that I searched the entire city, but I couldn't find anyone who wanted to kill you. ”
"You're in the wrong place."
Not to be outdone, Jasmine glared back, "There are a lot of students in this hospital who are very angry with me, and it shouldn't be difficult for you to change the object of the link." ”
Instead of thanking her, the students who had been saved by her spiritual power glared at her and spoke ill of her.
"Anger and hatred are different, I'm a businessman, and business is the number one priority over personal feelings."
"What do you want to say?"
"I'm just saying that if those students really wanted to kill you, you'd be dead a long time ago."
Faced with the threat of the shadows, Jasmine scoffed, "You can try. ”
"So I've come to you, and I'm curious how many bones you've stepped on to get you to where you are today."
Shadow noticed Jasmine's glances at Yin Sabel from time to time, and guessed the reason for her vigilance.
With her current position, with the movement of her fingers, she can take the life of the future heir of the Iris Foundation, and the entire consortium will also fall into a long period of infighting because of Yin Sabel's death.
"I've always been a man who kept her promise, and the one who took her life would be the one who lived next door to her. To be honest, if you put aside the business, I still like this eldest lady, and I really hope that she can live a long and healthy life. ”
The shadow's voice sounded harmless, as if the deaths and injuries of the whole day had nothing to do with her, and she saw Jasmine's defiant eyes and chuckled, "Don't you understand?" The more people like her, the stronger I become. ”
She couldn't remember how long she had been guarded by the Colossus, but the moment she escaped, she understood a fact.
The time outside came to the year 2166.
It doesn't get much more appropriate for her times.
"Jasmine."
Shadow called out her name, "Do you want to make a deal with me?" ”
