Several years have passed since the first edition of the cricket fight, during which countless competitors have shined in the event, so that countless cricket lovers remember their names.

However, in that era of the rise of the crowd, only one person became the absolute king of this event.

In the last 36 editions of the tournament, he has won 34 of them.

"But I still don't understand what it means to be sinking?"

Vadim interrupted the middle-aged man's memories and asked questions.

Although his time among the stars was extremely short, he felt an unprecedented shock, far more profound than the evolution promised by "Blue Eyes".

At the same time, Vadim realized that outside of the world he was familiar with, there was an independent space, and in that space there was an existence unimaginable to humans.

Jinni.

The name of "nothingness" he heard was in line with all human imaginations of gods.

"Every cricket who participates in the competition has the ability to be different, which is the key to their victory in the fierce competition, even for us, the talent of the cricket is uncontrollable."

The nominal crickets have an independent sense of thinking, which means that even if they go to the same path, they can also give birth to very different abilities.

They didn't know what kind of crickets they would get until the ritual was complete.

"And you, young man, are really ...... in your abilities"

Nothingness didn't go on, knowing what a blow it would be for a novice who was new to psionic powers.

Of course, I also learned these truths from my own students.

Abandoning the physical body and existing in pure consciousness is the way to get to the upper worlds, and it also means that wherever they have come from, they leave everything from behind when they complete their ascension.

In another world, they have almost infinite time.

This will inevitably make them further and further away from their past selves, and thus evolve into a completely different existence.

Empathy, compassion, loving-kindness, these qualities will also be swallowed up by that long time.

As they were called at that time, at the end of time, nothing remained.

"But I have heard that kings have the talents of kings, and cooks have the talents of cooks, and in the same way, there is no strong or weak spiritual power.

Vadim once used his relationship with Kolo Films to reach out to the students of Wisteria Flower Academy and heard about it from them.

In fact, this sentence has always inspired countless "ordinary" capable people, making them firmly believe that their ability will shine one day in the future.

"Oh? Have you heard this phrase too? Is this sentence already so famous? ”

Nothingness was stunned, "Theoretically, this sentence is true, as long as you have enough psionic strength, no matter how weak your ability sounds, you can become an existence to be reckoned with. ”

It reminded him of a fight he had in a cricket fight.

His disciples proved with practical actions that even the ability to "never choke on eating" that is not favored by anyone is enough to win the championship of the cricket fighting competition.

You must know that after the experimental competition system in the previous sessions, the champion of any subsequent cricket fighting competition is a well-deserved powerhouse among humans.

"But unfortunately, this sentence has nothing to do with you, because the strength of your spiritual power is also very weak, like a flame, which can be extinguished by a gust of wind at any time...... What are you doing here? ”

Nothingness looked at Vadim in bewilderment, who had taken the blow and walked to the corner, slowly sitting on the bare concrete floor, looking up at the blue sky.

"Don't worry about me, from now on, I'm a mushroom."

This is a psychologist who talked about psychotherapy on TV, and the beautiful psychiatrist from the first district believes that the vast majority of mental illnesses today come from the pressure of life and society, and the company people are at high risk of mental illness, the essential reason is that they have extremely high expectations for their present and future, and once the reality cannot respond to their expectations, the feeling of disappointed hope will deeply torment them.

Therefore, as long as we do not have expectations for the future, we can solve this problem fundamentally.

For example, in the event of a setback, you can think of yourself as a mushroom or a potted plant.

And just now, Vadim has gone through the process of going from heaven to hell.

He appreciated the vastness of the stars, and at one point thought he had become the chosen one by the gods, but then the gods told him that his abilities were almost useless, and that his psionic strength was so weak that it seemed to be extinguished at any moment.

Even if the "blue eye" and military technology are not good, at least he has been promised to complete the "evolution" and thus surpass the human race.

But if you think about the benefits......

After receiving the blessing of Nothingness, he is at least better than mushrooms and potted plants, so that he will not easily lose to the employees of the weeding company and the contestants who participate in the mushroom pulling contest in the future.

"Mushrooms? You can't be a mushroom, you have to participate in the 37th Cricket Fighting Competition. ”

"Nothingness" said quickly.

After all, the times are different, the era of psionic energy has long ended, and now the contestants of the fighting cricket competition have long been disqualified to pick and choose, even if they can only act as experienced babies in the past, there is a need to cultivate.

"But as you just said, my abilities are useless."

This made Vadim reluctant to even know what he was capable of.

"That being said, it's relative to be strong and weak, you just have to be better than the other competitors – and given that this is your first time competing and you don't have a lot of experience, you can finish in the top three."

"I see."

Vadim gradually adjusted his mentality using the mushroom play, and after a long time, he said, "Tell me, what are my abilities?" ”

"Eye-catching."

"What?"

"When you activate an ability, the eyes of those around you are drawn to you."

This ability is closely related to Vadim's inner world.

Although he claimed that he was willing to be a "guinea pig" or "cricket No. 1", and had comforted himself countless times that his name did not matter, deep down, he, like many gang members in the 17th District, fantasized about the day when he would become famous.

He wanted Vadim's name to be heard, and as such, the psychic power responded to his wish.

Now, he can easily catch the attention of those around him.

However, for a wanted criminal, the side effects of this ability seem to be somewhat strong.

"Wait a minute, I didn't understand."

Vadim tried to gather his thoughts, "You say, when my abilities are activated, the eyes of the people around me will focus on me?" ”

"Hmm."

"And then?"

He'd been waiting for Nothingness to continue.

If understood in a game-like way, his abilities can be thought of as a forced taunt skill, which has led Vadim to think of a number of skill combinations.

For example, when he is attacked while using a forced taunt, he will have a chance to cast a devastating counterattack spiral on those around him who attack him.

Even if you don't add 100 armor points, this simple and crude numerical enhancement is acceptable.

But the introduction of "nothingness" ended here, and it was not carried out for a long time.

"No then, that's all you can do."

The answer of "nothingness" once again extinguished the enthusiasm in Vadim's heart, mushroom psychotherapy was no longer enough, and from now on, he decided to try pot therapy.

Vadim really didn't understand, what was the difference between the effect of this ability and his howling in public?

Even now that he doesn't have to open his mouth, the identity of the wanted man naturally makes him the focus of attention in public.

He decided to put an end to the discussion on the topic of psionic abilities, "Why are you so enthusiastic about the Cricket Fighting Contest?" ”

"That's because it's not just our way of entertainment."

Nothingness's tone sounded much more serious, and he said, "This is also one of the ways to compare our spiritual ability development and research, only those who have tempered the power of domination to the extreme can win this event. ”

Before the cricket fighting competition, their understanding of each other's psionic abilities was very vague.

At this level, of course, they couldn't recruit people to compare and compare after dinner, and some small frictions in their eyes could bring unimaginable disasters to the lower world.

The power of domination......

Vadim tried to understand these concepts, and the recording function that came with the "overload" system gave him much better memory and analytical skills.

This is not the name of the Coalition Government's psionic research institute, and in his understanding, the domination and rewriting psionic energy mentioned in "nothingness" is a variant of the interfering psychic, or the product of refining the interfering psionic energy to the extreme.

It was also a realm that was beyond the reach of today's psionics.

Obviously, Nothingness is the leader in the field of jamming psionic energy, and his ability to "force the attention of those around him after activation" also fits the definition of jamming psionic energy, and if it is used in squad combat, this ability may still be useful in some way.

Nothingness proudly mentioned to him more than once that he was the top three contestants in many cricket fighting competitions, which meant that he was also among the top three beings who could rank among the gods in terms of controlling the use of this spiritual energy.

But then, another question arose that made him think about it very much.

"Nothingness" mentions that someone won the championship of the 34th Fighting Cricket Tournament.

If so......

"So, in fact, after the first cricket fighting competition, you never won against your disciple again?"

"A disciple may not be inferior to a teacher."

This question of "nothingness" has long been seen and admitted very calmly.

After the first few defeats, he would still use excuses such as "the remote connection is too stuck", "the cricket is not strong", "my stomach is uncomfortable today", etc., but after experiencing failures day after day, he had to admit that the growth speed of his disciple was too amazing, and he could only sigh that the other party was worthy of the prophesied holy son.

What's more, if you look at this problem from another angle, the disciple is so powerful, it naturally means that he, the master, teaches well.

In the words of his disciple, it was a win-win deal.

"But if I'm not mistaken, there was only a year between the first and second cricket fights."

Even if he was a genius, Vadim could hardly imagine what kind of heaven could transcend the gods from human status in just one year.

"This brings us to the source of our strength, and in your case, how would you feel if I were to get you up right now, temper your psionic abilities day and night, and risk everything you have to win a championship that you are not really interested in?"

Vadim did not answer immediately.

But he felt as if the 'nothingness' had seen through his heart.

In fact, he was not interested in the cricket fighting competition, and after realizing that his abilities were useless, he did not want to move even more.

"It's okay, I know what you think."

Nothingness continued, "You see, even if you choose my path, that guy's influence is still ingrained in your heart, and it has an effect on you that you are not even aware of. ”

A "virus" called laziness.

It is written in the genes of almost all living beings.

"If it's him, you should be reminded to rest well, don't tire yourself, maybe something good will happen when you wake up tomorrow."

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, after hearing these words, Vadim actually yawned.

Obviously, he had just woken up, but sleepiness came up.

"He exists differently than we do, and he never competes with anyone for believers, but when others realized the threat, they suddenly realized that almost all believers were influenced by him to some extent."

Prior to this, even the consciousnesses who had existed in the upper world for countless eras had never seen such an evil sect.

Gain power through faith and the knowledge of living beings.

Vadim vaguely understood the source of the spiritual power of the "gods", and because of this, they wanted to create a church in human society, and even spread the church to every corner of the world for a time.

At this moment, he is like an archaeologist, listening to the deeds from the past.

The only question is, what can he do?

A few days ago, he was a "guinea pig" in military technology, and the company implanted him with an "overload" system just to obtain experimental data from him.

The top brass at Chloe Pictures wanted to use him to root out dissidents.

In fact, no one cares whether "Vadim" lives or dies.

The omniscient attitude of "nothingness" made Vadim feel extremely unreal.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"That's because ......"

He seemed to yawn when he heard Nothingness, "This city is so boring, I really have nothing to do." ”

……

After that, there was a long silence.

This was not the answer that Vadim had imagined, but it made him aware of a fact.

And this fact seems to explain everything.

"You've been influenced by him too."

"Yes."

"Nothingness" is noncommittal, "Even for us, it is inevitable. ”

Thanks to lyrical000 for the 6000 starting coins!

The small theater of its two hundred and thirty-seven:

Saturday, noon

During their lunch break, the members of the Teenage Death Crab Detective Group find the owner of the farm.

Wind Chimes treat them to the highest standard, and the desert environment simulated by technological means makes them feel like they are at home.

But on this trip, the elders of the clan also gave them some tasks.

This is a great opportunity for them to learn about human society and other races.

The night heron acted as an interpreter and said, "The Grim Reaper Crabs want to visit your great white sharks. ”

It is said that this was also the original dream of wind chimes.

When she first came to the farm, she wanted to keep a great white shark in the lake.

The farmer seems to be fond of majestic animals.

Wind Chimes agreed, and led the young Grim Reaper Crab detective group to the lake.

There were more sardines in the lake than when the farm was first established, and when she saw the wind chimes, the fish immediately gathered happily towards her.

"They're sharks?"

The night heron was a little confused, it didn't seem to be the same as the shark she knew.

"They're called sardines, and they're distant relatives of sharks."

Wind Chimes smiled and explained to the Night Heron and the Grim Reaper Crab that this was the explanation Song Lan gave her at the beginning.

It was also a long time before she learned the difference between sardines and sharks.

"But the difference in size between them is too big."

"That's when they're not ready."

The wind chimes snapped their fingers and gave the sardines in the lake a command, "Fish, use the swarm transformation!" ”
