Chapter 13: The Secret of Awakening
When it comes to the Holy City, we have to mention the current layout of the human reserve.
When the weirdness came, order collapsed around the world almost overnight.
In the desperation of humanity, a group of supernatural beings who call themselves "The Chosen One" stand up and lead humanity in the fight against the weird, and give humanity the method of sealing the passage and how to develop psionic energy.
Some people say that the strange advent has changed the world, and human beings can also develop themselves and explore the potential of life, and these "Chosen One" are the first generation of awakened people.
The first generation of Awakened Ones established the "Holy City", and it is rumored that the secrets of psionic powers, as well as strange secrets, as well as the knowledge of the realm of the gods, are among them, and the name of the Holy City is called - Abaddon.
With the Holy City as the center, the surviving people of various countries spontaneously went to establish a base area, and soon the prototype of the reserve was born.
"Like a concentric circle, the Holy City is the center, and the civilized kingdom built by the other survivors surrounds it."
Lorna looked at Su Ling, who was looking at the map, and explained to him, "So you should know how important this commission is, the Holy City has designated you to participate in the mission, and it is obviously a test of your loyalty to the human race. β
The word "loyalty", she bit very hard.
Su Ling looked at the scene outside the car window and replied lightly, "I know." β
Lorna is a little itchy, this guy doesn't even say thank you, when has she ever been treated like this?
Immediately, he recalled the mess in Su Ling's bedroom, and felt more and more that this thing was a sullen otaku.
The sullen person is very involved in chatting, but the two can't talk at the moment, what common topic does a noble lady who aspires to be a hero and a sullen man have in common?
So the atmosphere inside the car was silent again.
Su Ling looked at the scene of this elegant country, windmills, roses, top hats, armor...... It feels like going back to the days when knights took oaths in the Middle Ages.
It seems that people no longer believe in science, and individual heroism has prevailed.
Is it backwards or forwards? It's hard to say, after all, times have changed, C-level psionics who specialize in defense can jump in the rain of bullets, the power of science seems weak, and knights who charge single-handedly are more popular.
"Miss, sir," the driver had already stopped while Su Ling was thinking, "we have arrived...... Hall of Dawn. β
"Thank you." Lorna smiled at the servant who pulled the door open, and stepped out gracefully.
Su Ling shrugged and followed behind her.
I looked up and looked at the building in front of me.
A golden plaza hall with many quest windows, the sun shining golden rain through the rose glass windows, and the sacred statue is like a church prayer site, where many demon hunters hand over tasks.
"This is a sacred place for all demon hunters," Lorna explained to him, "and the Demon Hunting Center, founded by the Dawning Squad, three of the original Awoken Legends, has been a milestone in the Demon Hunt operation. β
"Listen to your tone, yearning for them?" Su Ling saw the adoration in the girl's eyes.
"Of course," Lorna puffed up, "I'll surpass my father!" β
"What are you fighting for? If you can't find the meaning of perseverance, you may not be able to go on, the horror I have seen in the abyss is far beyond your imagination, it is the fear beyond death, what faith do you have to support you against death? β
Su Ling suddenly asked a clueless question.
Lorna was stunned, what faith did she have to support her to persevere, not even afraid of death?
There seem to be many reasons, such as the glory of the family, such as the rise and fall of mankind, such as the ideals of childhood, such as ......
However, it seems that it is not enough to support himself to face death.
After all, these things are the ideas instilled in her by the outside world, in the end, the girl is still confused, Lancelot saw through all this, and knew that glory was just a false thing, but he still decided to die, because he believed in human beings themselves.
The girl lowered her head, bit her lip, and whispered in her heart, "That's it again...... Why do you always like to ask nasty questions? β
It's really strange, this cold-faced man is completely different from his father, why does he seem to see himself through, it's really hateful!
As for the beliefs that you insist on, you will understand one day!
She raised her head and looked into Su Ling's eyes: "What about you?" What are you fighting for? β
Su Ling shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's for a warm hug, maybe it's for a heart that can beat." β
Lorna remembered the hug she had given when she mistook Su Ling, and the heartbeat in her cold chest was calm, as if it would never rise or fall, and it would continue to run mechanically.
Is he a man or a monster?
"Then this operation will verify that you are not a monster."
As they were talking, a hearty voice came from the front.
Su Ling looked up and saw a tall and handsome blond man, and a nun wrapped in a black robe walked towards them.
The man stretched out his hand, with a sincere and warm smile on his face, which was easy to arouse people's favor: "Hello, my name is Julius, and I am the main person in charge of this operation, a B+ level witcher, and I am in the Department of Plastic Energy." β
He looked very familiar, and pointed to the black-robed nun beside him: "This is my good partner, Miss Cecilia, she has the ability to foresee danger, and her ability rating is also B+." β
The nun kept her head down, and her face under the black robe couldn't be seen clearly, but she replied lightly: "Hello, my name is Cecilia, mystical department." β
Su Ling stretched out his hand: "My name is Su Ling, in addition, the plastic energy department, the mystery department?" β
Julius withdrew his hand and looked at the red-haired girl beside him, "Let the general's daughter tell you." β
Lorna bent down and performed court etiquette and looked at Julius strangely: "It is not unusual for Your Excellency to know my father, why do you know me too?" β
Julius said solemnly: "The heroes who died for mankind are worthy of respect, and his family has archives in the Holy City, and their safety is always guaranteed." β
Lorna's pride was full of disappointment: "I will surpass my father's ...... Take a different path. β
"Yes," Julius smiled, "it's good to be young, Cecilia and I just want to live in peace, to live a life without shame, saviors and heroes or something, it's too troublesome." β
The nun on the side had already tightened the skin of his arm in private, and Julius grinned in pain: "It hurts, but what I say is from my heart!" β
Lorna felt that these two people were a little strange, but she didn't say anything, and turned her head to look at Su Ling:
"Then let me give you a good overview of the psionic lineage."
The girl took out a mobile phone and called up a picture, which was the appearance of a tree:
"Psionic energy, the essence is the common reaction of life energy and spiritual energy, in which life energy determines strength, spiritual energy determines nature, which can be understood as the level and quality in the game, and the better the quality of the same level, the stronger."
"After years of research, human beings have divided psionic energy into five categories, namely: reality, plastic, mystery, summoning, and special."
"Among them, the reality system refers to the ability to directly affect reality, based on the things that exist in reality, such as physical enhancement and the like, and the advanced ones can even directly rewrite reality, in this Kabbalah tree of life, it is in the position of the root system."
"The reality system is the most basic psionic energy lineage, and the plastic energy system is a step further, manipulating substances such as common molecular atoms and other substances, but energy-form substances such as fire and thunder, such as my [Red Lotus] and Uncle Heinill's [Thunder], which is the component of rhizomes on the tree of life."
Lorna stretched out a hand, and a flame erupted from the palm of her hand: "It's like this." β
Su Ling nodded, curious: "What about the aftermath?" β
Lorna withdrew her hand, and her tone was a little curious: "If the reality system and the plastic energy system can find the prototype, then the summoning system is created out of nothing, and many summoning systems can even summon subordinates out of thin air, I don't know much about this, but it is also a green leaf on the tree of life." β
Su Ling's heart moved, he borrowed the power of Hanako and them seemed to be like this?
Lorna didn't pay attention to his face, but looked at Cecilia, who was dressed in black robes: "The summoning system has begun to transcend reality, so the mystery system has completely transcended the shackles of reality, involving abilities such as [fate], [cause and effect], and it is the red flower on the tree of Kabbalah." β
Cecilia didn't speak, just cast her gaze on Su Ling.
If the gaze under the black robe was substantial, Su Ling felt like a mang on his back, as if he had been seen through.
His heart sank, and he contracted his mind to completely suppress the consciousness of Hanako and the Rift Girl, and then he felt better.
The ability of the mysterious system is really mysterious, Su Ling is secretly vigilant in his heart, and he must pay attention to it in the future.
Luo Na finished speaking in one breath, slowed down, and looked at Su Ling: "If you have a special department...... I don't know anything about it, it's just a saying among psionicsβ"
She said word by word: "That is the most precious fruit of the tree of life!" β
Julius walked over, looked at Su Ling with a serious face, and patted his shoulder: "Ability category is not the key to determining strength, the ability to copy reality is no worse than any ability, and your ability to decompose the material structure is also a rare strong ability in the reality system, play it well." β
Su Ling thought to himself that I have four abilities in my body, one is teleportation, one is to decompose matter, one is spiritual interference, and one is the ability to devour, what am I called?
"Alright," after Lorna's introduction, Julius put away his smile, "Then let me introduce my ability, [Candlelight], which is to cause explosions and high temperatures, which is somewhat similar to [Red Lotus], but it is still a little different." β
He turned to Cecilia: "My non-talkative partner is much more powerful than me, [Oracle] is the existence of the ceiling in the mysterious system, it is easy to predict fate, it is easy to predict danger, and of course, the price of predicting fate is also very troublesome. β
Just looking at the ability, Su Ling's side was simply crushed, although the two leaders from the Holy City this time only had B+ on the surface, I am afraid that the A-level may not be able to please them.
He scratched his head and looked at Su Ling and the others: "Don't be shocked, the Holy City is full of the elite of the psionics, and the two of you will enter Abaddon sooner or later, and at that time, the truth of the world will be open to you." β
Lorna nodded vigorously, unable to hide the yearning in her eyes: "That will be my honor." β
Su Ling was silent.
"So," Julius regained his seriousness and handed over a sealed document, "let's get ready to go, this mission is not easy, our target is the Compny Hospital!" β
