【Talent: Book of the Immortal】
{Talent Level: 1st Tier}
{Effect 1: You can extract self and self-related items, as well as the stored soul, with the possibility of consuming a certain amount of energy, and transform it into some kind of heroic body or treasure and skill (energy can be replaced by life force and mental power)}
{Anchored: Warrior's Body}
{Effect 2: Soul can be stored, 1/1 stock}
{Saved: Shahril}
In Jiang Wei's eyes, Shahrir, who was stored in the Book of Immortals, was entangled in the black and red gas of despair, as if the soul was tormented by its own resentment.
This is not just a grudge that will be born when you are killed.
The regret and unwillingness in Shalier's soul were perceived by him, and there was not much resentment towards Jiang Wei himself.
"Seems to want revenge?"
Jiang Wei subconsciously frowned, and with a random thought, Shahril's memories reappeared in the Book of Heroic Spirits in the form of images.
……
[Heran City, a baby was born in the city hospital, and his parents happily named him Shahril, which means healing in the federal language, which contains his parents' expectations for him to spend his life healthy and safe]
[4 years old: You are enrolled]
[7 years old: Your father bought you toys from the toy division of the Karls Group, and you are curious why the things produced by the Karls Group are everywhere]
[10 years old: my father is sick]
[11 years old: My father was admitted to the hospital, and the family was in debt]
[13 years old: My father was discharged from the hospital, but he needed to take medicine to maintain his health, and because he was confined to a wheelchair, his father, who was a worker, lost his job, and the family could only rely on the meager salary of his mother, who was a dishwasher, to support him]
[14 years old: The house was taken away because of debts, so your family moved to live in the slums, and you dropped out of school because you couldn't pay the school fees]
[15 years old: You started to wander the streets and participated in fights, because of your strong body, you have a bit of fame]
[16 years old: You were valued by a member of a gang and joined his Bloodstripe Gang, and you started selling contraband and participating in gang fighting......]
[18 years old: You became the little leader of the Bloodstripe Gang]
[20 years old: The leader of the Bloodline Gang appreciates you, so he arranges for you to undergo a transformation operation, you are chained to the operating table, endure the pain like Ling Chi, cry so much for the first time, but in the end the operation is successfully completed, and after the recovery period is over, you awaken the inferior recovery ability]
[21 years old: In a fight with the rival gang Black Snake, you went on a rampage like a monster and killed a dozen enemies, you are called a beast]
[22 years old: The credit is getting more and more, and eventually you became a mid-level manager of the Bloodstripe Gang and took over a bar]
[22 years old: After stabilizing, you decided to share the joy with your family, but when you got home, you only saw two corpses that had been broken into pieces, which were your parents]
[22 years old: You are desperate to track down the murderer, but the truth is easily revealed to you, this is just the revenge of the hostile Black Snake Gang, you recklessly led people to retaliate, and finally was captured, and the leader of the Black Snake Gang gouged out one of your eyes]
[22 years old: You are completely desperate, the Bloodstreaks have abandoned you. Because before you decide to take revenge, the two gangs have actually made peace talks and negotiated a big deal, and in order to make up for the Black Snake Gang, which is already an ally, your leader gives you to his new friend as a gift to bridge the relationship]
[23 years old: The leader of the Black Snake Gang sold you to a businessman who is said to have ties to the upper echelons of Heran City, and who likes to take over the Reformers.] 】
[23 years old: You were sold to a drinking party and became a toy in a killing game, and the organizer told you that if you live fifteen times, you can get money and freedom]
[23 years old: You survived four killing banquets, because you are not very good-looking, you look a little vicious, and you are called a crocodile by the guests]
[23 years old: You're dead]
……
"This guy, is it only 23? ...... old enough."
Jiang Wei looked at the short life of this man named Shahril and felt a little emotional.
What do you say, this guy seems to be a little miserable......
"But it's really a bit weird to see myself from other people's memories, the image that Paradise arranged for me, except for the color of my hair and eyes, my facial features are similar to my original, and they haven't changed much."
Jiang Wei sighed a little in his heart, and he said silently in his heart: "Life has weight, but when you die, there is nothing, but I am different, I can give you new weight......"
The Book of Heroic Souls in the spiritual space began to glow, as if there were endless threads of fate flickering in it.
"Heroic Spirit...... Mold! Possibilities reinvented! ”
The scene in front of Jiang Wei's eyes began to change.
……
"Is it in this timeline, but there is some room for maneuver."
Jiang Wei appears in a cramped, dilapidated apartment with a lot of fragments of corpses on the floor, which are the bodies of Shahril's parents.
Clearly, he came to a turning point in Shahril's life.
Feeling the anger and despair in his mind, he closed his eyes and slowed down for a while, then silently closed the door behind him, and then came to the bathroom, looking at Shahril who still had two eyes in the mirror on the sink, he sighed softly.
It's a desperate world.
Some information about talent flooded into his mind, and what he had to do next was to leave a legend belonging to Shahril in this potentially virtual world as Shahrir.
When the legend takes shape, Shahrir's soul can be transformed into a Heroic Spirit that can be summoned.
"Let's get revenge, then."
Jiang Wei gradually immersed himself in Shahril's emotions, and the flames of revenge ignited his soul.
Now, he's Shahrir.
……
[You have returned to the biggest turning point in Shahril's fate, the day his parents died, and in Shahril's memory, your understanding of Herlan City gradually became clear]
[This is a city that seems even more desperate and dark than Gotham City, where a business group called Kars occupies the main body of the city's economy, and its business scope penetrates into almost every corner of the life of every citizen]
[It's like the Wayne Group in Gotham City, but unfortunately there are no righteous superheroes in this world, and the chairman of the Kars Group is not Batman, and will go around defending justice like a big bat at night]
[There is abuse on the news every day, as if poverty and death are related to the gang]
[But as a low-level background, Shahril can feel more about the gap between the rich and the poor since he was a child, as well as the dilapidated working families because of the loss of their jobs, and the law is just a rag to be taken at will in front of the rich]
[At the same time, this is also a world without the soil for the birth of superheroes and supercriminals]
[There are superpowers in this world called the Transformers, but the way they get the superpowers is not by mutation, but by surgery, which is the only way to the transcendent, but the place where the most transformers are not in the army, the security bureau and the gang, but in the Kars Group]
[Those who break the rules of the Kars Group will only become criminals]
"The greatest violence is in the hands of merchants? No...... No, there is a problem with this group, and if it is said in this way, the distribution of government power in this world is also problematic, and the Kars group may just approve a layer of businessman's skin. ”
Jiang Wei found that the bottom of Helan City was indeed very chaotic, and gangs of all sizes had become tumors in Helan City, often creating tragic bloody cases, but the overall situation seemed to be a little chaotic and orderly.
It seems that someone has deliberately created this situation.
"I still need to know more ......"
Jiang Wei found a person from Shalier's memory, Ethan Lao, a fifty-four-year-old car mechanic on Aikole Street, who once had another identity, that is, a top student who graduated from Herland University. After graduating, he worked for the Kars Group.
Later, he was fired because he took the blame for his boss, and in the end, because of various deep-seated reasons, he could only repair cars to make a living.
His acquaintance with Shahril was because Shahril once crashed into the other gang's stronghold with a car in a gang fight, and repaired it at Ethan's afterwards, and the two chatted for a while, which was a bit of a relationship, and they both liked to study the aesthetics of heavy vehicles, which was a strange hobby.
The two got to know each other like this, and then gradually became familiar with each other in the following time, and finally became New Year's friends.
[After collecting the corpses in your home, you ask your friend Ethan to meet up at a restaurant you frequent]
[A few glasses of inferior industrial wine, in the small talk, Ethan, who used to be a graduate of Herland University with a major in medicine, revealed some inside stories about the transformation surgery]
[Modification surgery requires an essential drug called X-synthetic drug]
[You find out that you are no stranger to this synthetic drug, because in the bar you are watching, there is a banned drug called X-27 for sale]
[It is an extremely expensive drug and is prohibited under federal law because it is highly dangerous, but this does not mean that it is addictive, but because it can cause great damage to the human body]
[Gang members and some young people like this thing very much, because it is an alternative transcendent experience volume, which can increase strength and recovery in a short period of time, and there will not be much problem with a small amount of use]
[And for the transformer, the synthetic medicine can also greatly improve their own abnormal abilities, which is also a way to make the transformation level promotion]
[Regarding the promotion, Ethan obviously told it as a joke, because in his opinion, this is completely spending money to buy a priceless high-tech instrument to kill himself, and if he wants to be promoted by this method, he must first spend a lot of money to buy high-purity synthetic drugs, even if he succeeds, his body will be seriously depleted, and he may only have one breath left before he dies]
[The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, you tentatively ask, what if it is a recovery system]
[Ethan admires your brain hole and drinks a few more glasses of wine]
In the dilapidated shop, Ethan put down his wine glass, shook his head and said: "The idea is very good, I also thought about it when I was in school, but there will be no exceptions, although it is said that the transformer with the ability to recover can generally survive to the final stage, but you will still die, and the side effects of synthetic drugs are so domineering." ”
Ethan shrugged his shoulders and drank another glass of wine as if he didn't seem to care, but his eyes flashed with concern for a moment when he looked at Shahrir.
He felt that Shahril was in some trouble, so he turned his mind to a synthetic drug.
"I understand, there's something, I'm out of company first."
Shahril nodded, got up and walked straight away.
Ethan looked at his back blankly, and when the person left, he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "What is this kid crazy about, is he fooling me?" ”
He staggered and got up and tried to walk out of the hotel, but was stopped by the boss.
"Sir, you can't go ......"
……
Shahrir, who had left a distance, suddenly stopped, he seemed to have forgotten something, he frowned and thought about it carefully, only then did he realize that he had not paid in advance at the hotel.
Forget it, it's not a big deal......
But Ethan is probably going to be angry and want to smash his head with a wrench now, right?
"Then he probably won't have a chance."
The tall man sighed softly and continued to walk in silence.
