December 24, 9:30 a.m. London time.

Xia Mingwei opened his eyes, looked around, took a deep breath of dull air, and walked straight out of the lavatory of the plane and returned to his first-class seat.

After hesitating for two seconds, he picked up a book from the shelf, which was "Falling" that Kiyotake Rin was reading, and he pretended to be calm and flipped through the book, his attention focused on Japan in Tokyo.

There was no way to test the ability of the second-order "Black Goku Sequence" on the plane, because the risk was too great, and there were two sequencer students in the first-class cabin next door.

But in the basement of the church, you can be casual, and the clone can't use the ability of the Visionary Sequence, but it can use the ability of the Black Wukong Sequence, and at the same time that the ontology is promoted to the second order, it will naturally be promoted to the second order, unlocking a new mythical power.

Xia Mingwei raised his eyelids again, but this time not on the plane, but in a dark and vast basement - when the sect leader used the "Anubis Gate" to summon him to the church, he used this basement, which could accommodate so many cultists, and the spaciousness of this place naturally needs not be spoken, at least there is no problem for him to make a big fuss, just don't make the church "earthquake".

At this time, his doppelganger was sitting cross-legged on the ground, reaching out to touch the Black Wukong Emblem on the back of his hand, and the second-order sequence information was transmitted into his mind.

[Source of the mythological sequence - "Black Wukong"]

[Mythic Sequence Class - "Second Order"]

[Mythic Sequence Ability -

1. "Clone Technique" (up to two clones exist in the second order, and one clone currently exists)

2. "Tightening Spell" (removes the influence of all psychic abilities)

3. "Seventy-two Changes" (Black Goku can use the shadow power woven by "resentment" to easily distort and transform himself into various things)

4. "Golden Hoop Stick" (Black Wukong stores the Golden Hoop Stick in the shadow power, which can use the shadow power to make the golden hoop stick "expand" or "shrink", and the scope of volume change can gradually expand as the class increases)

5. "Spreading Clouds" (Black Goku uses shadow power to gather into "somersault clouds" to achieve soaring clouds and driving fog)]

Xia Mingwei held the parietal bone, and the information from the Black Wukong coat of arms poured into his brain, "Shadow power...... This is the core strength of Black Wukong, and the difference between him and Sun Wukong is really big...... This should be the power that Black Wukong realized during the five hundred years he was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain, and the source of the shadow power is its resentment, and it is through this power that Black Wukong broke the six-character mantra imposed by the Buddha, so he can leave the Five Elements Mountain. ”

He pondered for a moment, then looked at the introduction of the previous two abilities.

The "Tightening Spell" did not change at all after it was promoted to the second order, because this ability had already reached its peak as early as the first order, which was enough to see from the ability to break the mind control power of the beauty god Aphrodite; As for the "doppelganger technique", it has been significantly improved.

"The doppelganger technique can exist at most two at the same time now, which means that my body can create one more clone," Xia Mingwei thought, "and control three bodies at the same time...... With my current mental strength, I should be able to do it, but it will be a little difficult to put it in actual combat. ”

It was hard for him not to predict when he would develop symptoms of schizophrenia in the future if he continued to live like this. If it wasn't necessary, Xia Mingwei didn't want to control too many clones at the same time, besides, one doppelganger was enough for him, after all, only the Executive Board and the Afterlife Society needed him to lurk in them.

"So......" Xia Mingwei muttered, "how long does it take to get from the second order to the third order?" In a whispered self-mutter, he touched the Black Goku crest again.

[Mythic Sequence Progress - It takes about sixty seconds to absorb the "Heaven and Earth Essence" before it is promoted to the third order. 】

[Mythic Sequence Preview - When you are promoted to Tier 3, you will unlock a new sequence ability: "Phantom of Mythology.] 】

Xia Mingwei heard Zhu Rin mention that most mythological sequences will learn the ability of "Mythical Phantom" after reaching the third order—the specific manifestation is: calling the afterimage of the mythological character to attach to his body, and during the time of the afterimage's existence, his strength, speed, and reaction will be greatly improved.

"What about Sun Wukong's fiery eyes and King Kong's incorruptible body?" Xia Mingwei was puzzled, "You must be promoted to the fourth order and awaken the 'Mythical Body' before you can use these complete abilities?" But isn't that too long...... Without Vajra's incorruptible body, I might not have been able to survive to that point. ”

Xia Mingwei knew that he was an outlier caught between the positive and negative forces, and the error tolerance rate was almost zero, and if he made a mistake, he would lose everything, attracting the pursuit of the Executive Board and the Afterlife Association. So for him, the most important thing in reaching the fourth level is not the offensive ability, but the defensive ability.

At this time, he thought of the "Black Wukong Mythical Primordial Stone" obtained from the Huaguo Mountain Secret Realm, so he suddenly realized: "Maybe the 'Fiery Eyes' and 'King Kong Incorruptible Body' need to rely on the mythical original stones to learn, as long as I don't let go of every mythical secret realm related to the 'Black Wukong', I can receive these original stones one by one." ”

Basically all the doubts were solved, Xia Mingwei stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his clothes, took a deep breath, and silently recited the words "golden hoop stick" in his heart.

Suddenly, the back of Xia Mingwei's hand glowed with pitch black, and a cold wind blew, ruffling the strands of hair on his forehead, and immediately thousands of inches of shadow poured out from the pores of his right hand, gradually converging into a long stick shrouded in black shadows.

He stared at the black-gold stick and recalled the introduction of the mythological sequence—

Black Wukong is different from Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong is used to hiding the golden hoop stick in his ear, while Black Wukong hides the golden hoop stick in the "shadow power". In this way, under the accumulation of erosion and assimilation, the color of this stick gradually became deeper, so it became what it is now.

Xia Mingwei held the golden hoop stick horizontally, and it was clear that the weight of the stick should not be underestimated, but in his hand it seemed extremely light, like a natural nature.

He tried to dance the golden hoop stick, and even tried to turn the golden hoop stick around like the monkey brother who learned "Journey to the West", but because the skill was too poor, he could be called a tiger dog, so of course he failed, and the golden hoop stick fell to the ground and "banged" out of a rectangular pit.

"How's that going to work?" Xia Mingwei gasped, "I don't know how to stick at all, do I have to ask Black Wukong twice in the fantasy theater?" He paused, "No, Brother Monkey didn't kill me with a stick, how could he teach me to play the golden hoop stick......"

Forget it, one step at a time is one step...... He thought: Practice makes perfect, maybe I will be able to play tricks, and besides, there is a mythical secret realm, maybe the secret realm can help me understand the use of the golden hoop stick. Compared to this, how do I get the golden rod back in the first place?

As soon as Xia Mingwei thought of this, the Black Wukong Emblem emitted light, and at the same time, his right hand once again squeezed out wisps of shadows, which wrapped the golden hoop rods on the ground layer by layer, and the sticks retracted into his pores with the shadow stream, as if they had never existed.

"......I see," he moved his stiff right hand, "and the question is, what is the use of somersault clouds?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the somersault cloud had already responded, and wisps of shadow power poured out of Xia Mingwei's body, and in an instant, it became a wild cloud under his feet.

He was so shocked that he stepped on the dark clouds, and rode the clouds up and soared, almost instantly speeding to the ceiling of the basement, and the cold stone was so close that Xia Mingwei's pupils contracted like the thrill of a roller coaster.

After a few moments, the somersault cloud slowly stabilized, and no longer swept its shadows like a tidal wave. Xia Mingwei stood in mid-air with black clouds, and there was a bright glimmer in his eyes.

He tried to manipulate the somersault cloud while leaning down slightly, ready to fall.

Immediately, Xia Mingwei just had a mental move, and the somersault cloud swept towards the other end of the basement at an unbelievable speed, and the icy black wind swept by, tearing his sleeves and pulling his hair high.

With Xia Mingwei's hair blowing up completely upwards and his pupils shrinking to the size of a wheat, he had reached the expected end......

And during this time, he did not feel at all to be thrown off, because his feet seemed to be stuck in a swamp, deeply sunken into the somersault cloud, which undoubtedly allowed him to relax and fly unscrupulously without the slightest fear of the risk of falling from a great height.

After a long time, Xia Mingwei came to his senses, he looked deeply at the somersault clouds under his feet, and the feeling of soaring clouds and fog was unusually free, as if he could do anything.

After galloping in the basement on the somersault cloud for a long time, he gave up the cloud and turned the somersault cloud into shadow power and returned it to his body.

"The golden hoop rod and the somersault cloud have been tried, and in the end it is 'seventy-two changes'." "But I need a mirror, so it's better to experiment in the bathroom." ”

He exhaled, looked at the pit on the ground that had been smashed by the golden hoop rod, and walked out of the basement, and just out of the basement, in the swaying cold light of the corridor, someone was waiting for him with his back against the wall.

"How?" Rin Kiyotake seemed to want to turn the page, but halfway through the turn, his fingers stopped again and he closed the book instead.

"It's the same as you said," Xia Mingwei disagreed, and said lightly, "Black Wukong's mythical will is still very weak, and he can't pose any threat to me. ”

"Really?" Kiyotake Rin tilted his head, as if he was a little surprised.

"Really." Xia Mingwei nodded, "Black Wukong's mythical will is not as terrifying as you think, and it is not completely uncontrollable. ”

According to Kiyotake Rin, the mythical will at the beginning of the second order was the weakest, but it became more and more difficult to control as the level of the mythical sequence increased.

Therefore, the mythical will of this period is the best to get along with, and the threat to the sequence holders is the weakest.

Despite this, Qing Zhu Rin also reminded Xia Mingwei to be careful many times.

She said that Xia Mingwei's Black Wukong is the most difficult mythological sequence to control, and the corresponding mythical will is naturally fierce and unruly.

In fact, Xia Mingwei wanted to say that if it weren't for the help of the Visionary Sequence, then his consciousness might have been smashed countless times by Black Wukong.

But fortunately, the Fantasy Theater created a prison cell for Black Wukong, otherwise it would not be strange for Xia Mingwei to faint directly on the plane or lose his mind.

"Yes...... "Rin, Kiyotake put his hand to his chin, "That's good, but after that, its mythical will will gradually grow and become more and more difficult to control." ”

"I know, aren't you just like me?"

"You should worry more about yourself than ...... me," she said blandly. ”

"It's okay, I can do it." Xia Mingwei said.

Qing Zhu Rin stared at him motionlessly, the cold light from the torch shining on her little face, "Let's go, let's go to dinner." With that, she turned and walked forward, holding the book of "Falling" in both hands behind her back.

"I'm a little hungry." Xia Mingwei scratched his cheeks, slipped his hands into the pockets of the church staff's uniforms, and walked behind her.

In the silent corridor, only the footsteps of the two could be heard, and the sound of the wind as the light of the torch flickered.

"Robert."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't want you to get out of control."

Xia Mingwei was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to look at her, Qing Zhulin was still walking forward, without looking back, her hands behind her back gently clenched the book.

"But I know that it may be inevitable...... she whispered, "and it is the first time I have seen such a mythological sequence, and not even Zeus and Anubis have ever scared my 'Yaki Serpent' so much, and it has been very disturbed since just now." ”

Xia Mingwei was silent, he didn't expect that the mythical sequence could actually perceive each other's existence, and the mythical will of the Yaqi Orochi was afraid of the mythical will of Black Goku?

Qing Zhu Rin didn't speak again, just walked forward with her head down, her pace slowed down a little, as if waiting for Xia Mingwei to come up and stand side by side with her.

Xia Mingwei took a long time before he spoke: "Even if what you say is so difficult, I will live, no matter how ugly it is, I will live for a long time." He paused and lowered his voice: "Otherwise...... You're alone again. ”

Qingzhu Rin's back trembled slightly, and she slowly stopped.

Xia Mingwei walked to her side and turned his head to look at her, Qing Zhurin's eyes were hidden by the strands of black hair hanging down, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"Pull the hook."

"What?"

"My mother taught me that as long as you hook up, it's a promise." "She died a long time ago, and I just remember what she said," she said. ”

Qingzhu Rin said, putting the book in his left hand, and stretched out his little thumb in his right hand, "After all, it's my personal robot, at least until I die, you are not allowed to scrap it." ”

"Are you a child?" Xia Mingwei asked funny, he hesitated for two seconds before hooking her fingers, the girl's skin was cold, as if she had come out of a heavy snowfall, "Narin-san, I also hope that you will promise me that you will never die sooner than me." ”

"Of course, who are you looking down on?" Rin Kiyotake shook his fingers slightly.

"Satisfied?" Xia Mingwei let go of her fingers, "Let's go, it's time for dinner, Rin little brat." ”

"Okay, the robot dares to call the master a little brat."

"I was wrong."

"I've forgiven you."

Talking and laughing, the two walked forward side by side and disappeared into the darkness at the end of the hallway.
