Chapter 40: Lying down and upgrading
"The trick is in your will, the slightest control over every muscle in your body."
Shen You walked on the way back to the store, carrying the shopping bag that had just been stuffed from the supermarket, and at the same time patiently educating Kara beside him.
"Listen only to what you want to hear, and cut out all other superfluous sounds. Focus your attention on a single object. Shen said.
Kara walked beside him, wearing a headphone-like device on her little golden head.
It was a sound insulator specially built for her by Shen You overnight, which could help her block all external sounds. If a normal person wears this thing, it is basically equivalent to deafness, even if someone slaps them in their ears with all their might, they can't hear it. But for Kara, it just slows down her hearing to a certain extent and filters out some of the farther sounds.
Yes, that's right, the body of the little Kryptonite is starting to develop again. This time it was the ears that went wrong.
In fact, super hearing has already begun to awaken before, but the time is not effective, and the farthest range can only hear the aunt scolding the street a street away.
But this week the situation seems to have deteriorated. The source of the sound she heard was getting farther and farther away, as if the sound of the whole city was pouring into her ears like an ocean.
All of a sudden, the nerves of the Kryptonian girl were almost overloaded, and the most serious one would almost roll her eyes and faint on the spot.
It is impossible for ordinary people who have not experienced it to imagine what kind of pain it is, as if the whole world has turned into a huge engine, roaring in their ears.
Shen You also has super hearing, of course, it is far less exaggerated than the Kryptonian covering the whole world. And he didn't have this kind of experience because of his hearing problems, because he received systematic training and guidance from professional teachers in the Land of Light from the beginning of his senses, and he was able to control his senses freely from an early age.
Because of this, he also has some experience in sensory control.
"Let's start simple, let's focus on listening to a specific content, and focus your full attention on the object you want to hear to the exclusion of everything else."
Shen You patiently explained.
Helping Carla train also helps him to brush up on the basics of various courses on his own. And watching a Kryptonian girl slowly change from a delicate beautiful girl in her hands to a god in the world who can tear a battleship, there is also an inexplicable pleasure like cultivation.
"Like over there." Shen You casually pointed to a man and a woman at the corner of the street in the distance, "Listen to what they are talking about?" ”
Kara took off her headphones, closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and endured the noise coming in all directions, trying her best to keep her focus through the noise.
"Like...... Heard it. ”
She looked delighted.
"It really worked. The man was talking...... He said, 'I have brought the tools to unclog the sewer, do you want me to help you unclog it?' ’
The woman said, 'Okay, but you'd better remember to bring the lube, I've been doing a lot of things here for the past two days.......'
Kara looked at Shen You with a cute face: "What do you mean?" Did I hear it wrong, why don't I seem to understand? ”
Shen You coughed and quickly helped her put on the sound-isolating headphones again.
"You heard that right, that means the man came to fix the water pipes."
Kara seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and she still seemed to be a little skeptical, but she nodded her head to accept the statement.
The wizard old man, who was holding the newly bought oven box next to him, took a sip and muttered, "The wind is going down, the wind is going down!" Young people now......"
He shook his head as he spoke.
Night.
The old wizard held a transparent circle of blue light in his hand, and in front of him was a projection of magic energy.
It was an island.
The detailed undulations and curves of mountains, hills, canyons, and rivers can be clearly seen through the light and shadow of spells, and even the waves that constantly crash against the shore are brought to life.
"Parr, have you recorded the coordinates?" Shen You asked.
"The location has been marked, and the address is named 'Paradise Island.'" "A flight route to Paradise Island is being planned. ”
Shen You was very satisfied, and also expressed his admiration in a timely manner: "It's amazing, you really found this island blocked by the gods in such a short time......"
"Not enough. Truly great wizards never rest on their laurels. The old wizard touched his beard and continued to lean back tactically, "Like me, the 'wizard' who has guarded the mortal world for nine thousand years, suppressed countless demons, and guarded the magic of the present world, have I mentioned this?" ”
That's about 3,000 times a week. Shen Youxin said.
Shen You said: "By the way, the trial I talked about last time ......"
"Ha, of course it's fine." The old wizard stroked his beard with a teachable expression, "There are not many enterprising young people like you now. It's a pity, if you were a human, you would definitely be the best heir to my divine power......"
The DC magic side has always made Shen You not very reassured, after all, he doesn't know much about the principle of this thing. If you have the opportunity, I still hope to practice to strengthen my resistance to magic, or to find out how it works and how it works.
The Ultra clan has a huge advantage that many superpower systems cannot match, that is, their ability not only comes from racial talent, but also from a more systematic learning and scientific system. Based on their knowledge system, even if they encounter some abilities and phenomena that they have not seen before, they can explore and understand them with the eyes they already have.
And right now, there is a top mage in front of DC-although the strength is no longer there, but the theoretical knowledge is still top-notch, Shen You naturally can't let go of the opportunity to ask for advice.
"Then let's start with a simple illusion." The old wizard smiled, "This is also a common control method that is more confusing, and it can also use the dark side of the opponent's heart to strengthen the effect. Let's see what you think about this genre first. ”
"Okay." Shen You took a deep breath and got ready.
So the old wizard began to cast spells.
A string of words that Shen You had never heard before, chanting like chanting, accompanied by rapid changes in gestures.
The light blue light path weaved a complex magic array in his palm, followed by the old wizard's eyes, and patted lightly on the magic circle, the magic circle suddenly transformed into thousands of butterflies, floating towards Shen You, and then quickly dissipated.
Then the old wizard and he stared at each other for a long time.
After a while, Shen You couldn't help but say, "It's already ...... Has it begun? ”
The old wizard maintained his palms out, and the atmosphere stiffened for a moment.
Then he withdrew his palm and said sullenly, "It's over." ”
Shen You: "? ”
He looked around and made sure he was still sitting in the kitchen chair.
But nothing seems to have changed?
The old wizard was also a little at a loss for this reaction.
Shouldn't it?
Even if you are facing a stronger demon or wizard, maybe the other party has the powerful means and rich skills to easily dissolve their spells, but it doesn't feel like this at all, right?
Could it be that the spiritual power of this alien is so strong that it is against the sky?
"Ahem." The old wizard coughed twice to ease the embarrassment, "It seems that you have had a certain amount of mental training, and this kind of pediatric spell will not work...... Oh, it looks like I'm going to have to show a little bit of real skills. ”
Follow him solemnly.
"This spell is more dangerous. If you notice anything wrong, blink desperately. I'll break the spell right away to avoid any bad effects. ”
Shen You nodded: "Okay." ”
So the old wizard began to cast spells again.
Another chant of an unknown incantation, and finally a string of vernacular.
“...... The supreme god, the demon god of fear, accept my call and become a wave of fear! ”
He let out a loud shout, and the light blue magic circle between his palms swirled, and a great terror struck like an overwhelming one!
A few seconds after the spell was activated, Shen You's pupils shrank and his face moved......
The old wizard's eyes lit up.
Ha, he knows!
To be honest, he was really nervous when that spell hit an "HP-0" just now.
The strongest wizard in the hall, Thunder Shazam, although the magic level is the end of the strong crossbow, but people sit there and let him fight, and the skills are all missed, where does this make his old face go?
It's okay, it's not too embarrassing...... Oh yes, gotta break the spell quickly. He likes this alien guy very much, and it won't be good if he is really mentally wounded......
As a result, before he could make the next move, he saw Shen You stand up suddenly.
"Wait a minute, pause."
Follow Shen You as he strode through the kitchen.
"Kara? I just saw through that there are green peppers in the trash can outside, did you throw them away? ”
The little girl who was memorizing the words was startled, and her eyes were evasive: "No...... Nope. ”
Shen You raised his eyebrows: "Really? Then you follow me, 'The El family never lies.'" ”
"The El family never ...... Well, well, I threw it. ”
Kara put down her textbook with a sad face.
"But it's really unpalatable, why did humans invent something so unpalatable......"
"Don't be a picky eater."
Shen You said earnestly, paused, and muttered.
"Besides, it's so delicious......"
"I was wrong, and I won't." Kara obediently admits her mistake.
Shen You, who had received a confession, nodded with satisfaction and returned to the kitchen to sit back in his chair.
"Ah, sorry I just got distracted, let's move on...... Hey? What's wrong with you? ”
When I turned my head, I saw that the old wizard's face was already flushed.
"Hmph."
The old wizard snorted heavily and shook his hands.
"The wizard is gone."
With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Shen You: "? ”
