"Spiritual energy."

For a long time, although Ji Xinghuo didn't figure out how the spiritual source could be obtained, it could be guessed from its name that it must be an energy related to will or thinking.

He opened the Vientiane Star Pupil interface and found out after a closer look.

The information bar on the left side of the interface has no changes except for the values; But on the right, the virtual image of the human body that is exactly the same as himself, inside the two arms, the neural network representing the "thousand dexterous hands" is flickering slightly, very conspicuous.

His gaze fell on it, and it immediately appeared: Thousand Dexterous Hands, Level 1, Upgradable.

There are more "upgradeable" options than before.

"Upgrade?"

Ji Xinghuo's heart was shocked, and he almost couldn't control himself, "This can be upgraded, can't it be a direct upgrade ability?" ”

He struggled to calm down and focused his mind on "upgrading".

Suddenly, the thousands of dexterous hands in the virtual image of the human body, the fine lines in the arms became brighter, flashing with light, and the energy flowed rapidly along the neural network.

At the same time, Ji Xinghuo felt the changes in his body.

From the brachial plexus in the neck, all the way to the arms, palms and fingertips, there was a slight feeling of heat, as if something was crawling inside, itchy and numb, and a little tingling, but it was within my own tolerance.

The values on the left side of the screen are also jumping.

Originally, it was [Ability: Thousand Dexterous Hands (Level 10/47)], and the first number in parentheses represented the progress of the ability's current level, which is growing rapidly!

It took me three weeks of hard training to improve my progress from 1 to 10.

And now, it's going up every second!

Ji Xinghuo looked motionless and remained calm under the camera in the interrogation room, but his heart set off turbulent waves!

At the same time, the value of the [Spiritual Source Energy: 137] column dropped rapidly.

Ji Xinghuo carefully observed, and paused for testing during the period, confirming that every time the progress of the ability increases, the spiritual source energy is consumed, and the increase and decrease of the two are 1 to 1.

Half a minute later.

Thousand Dexterous Hands' progress reached 47/47, and the upgrade was automatically stopped.

Ji Xinghuo carefully felt the changes in himself, and the hands hidden under the table trembled at an extremely high frequency, but the amplitude was extremely small, and they returned to normal after a few seconds.

He could feel his hands becoming more nimble, and he could easily do movements that he couldn't do before.

The reaction speed and stability have also been improved!

In the interface, the information of Thousand Dexterous Hands has also been updated, and it has become (Level 2 1/227) in parentheses, and the ability display in the human virtual image is still upgradeable.

"Level 2 Thousand Dexterous Hands!"

Ji Xinghuo exhaled softly.

He'd been aware of the difficulty of leveling up his abilities.

The vast majority of rangers stay at the first level all their lives, and only a few rangers above the intermediate level can only be promoted to the second level after years of training.

And it only took me three weeks.

He glanced at the spiritual source energy, and there were exactly 100 points left.

"The progress of the second-level thousand dexterous hands turned out to be 227, which has increased nearly five times at once." Ji Xinghuo calculated for a while, and the rest of the spiritual source energy was put into it, and it was not enough to upgrade a thousand dexterous hands.

Until you are sure how to obtain the spiritual source, it is more reasonable to keep it for the time being.

"Spiritual Energy ......"

Ji Xinghuo muttered to himself in his heart, what the hell is this energy, it can directly upgrade the ability! It's a bit like the experience points in the game, but after a few rounds of groping, he confirmed that the spiritual source energy can't increase star power and evolve his life.

He didn't understand, but he was shocked.

"If you can get more spiritual energy......

Just as Ji Xinghuo was researching the use of spiritual source energy, Min Chongwu walked into an office not far from the interrogation room, and Yan Xiao followed behind.

"Weekly Bureau!"

"Weekly Bureau."

The two spoke out one after the other, but received no response.

A middle-aged man sits behind a desk, looking in his forties, with an ordinary appearance, medium build, and no signs of exercise, if he walks on the street, he will not attract much attention.

Min Chongwu and Yan Xiao restrained their posture before entering the door, and even their steps were lighter.

They looked at the man behind the table, their faces slightly startled.

As one of the three deputy directors of the Sword Bureau, and ranked first, Zhou Yishang, whose power position is second only to the director, was looking at the screen in front of him intently at the moment, frowning, as if he hadn't heard the words of the two.

"Zhou Ju, what are you looking at so seriously?" Min Chongwu asked curiously.

Zhou Yishang finally raised his head, "You guys also take a look." ”

He tapped the desktop and projected the screen into the air to zoom in, and Min Chongwu recognized at a glance that the scene on the screen was under the building where Ji Zongbang was killed.

This is a surveillance footage.

And it's a multi-angle shot, so it's clear even if the scene is at night.

Yan Xiao didn't understand at first, but he saw that one of the images was a shadow under the bridge pier, and after post-processing, a vague figure appeared, and he immediately understood that this was Ji Zongbang's hiding place.

What happened next was completely unexpected.

In the video, Ji Xinghuo went home like other pedestrians, sliding quickly in power shoes, very vigilant all the way, and there was nothing abnormal. When he reached the main entrance of the building, he turned his head to look at the side of the building, where Ji Zongbang was located.

When Min Chongwu and Yan Xiao saw this scene, they felt a little strange in their hearts.

Yan Xiao couldn't understand it even more.

He has personally fought with Ji Zongbang, Ji Zongbang is a super shadow blade, his "shadow escape" is very clever, at least level three, and he is very good at concealing his whereabouts, especially in a dark environment, even it is difficult for himself to lock Ji Zongbang's traces.

It was by relying on this shadow that Ji Zongbang was able to escape with serious injuries.

As a result, he was seen through by a junior ranger?

Then, suddenly, the battle broke out.

Ji Xinghuo walked into the door as usual, and suddenly seemed to have a premonition of danger, took out the compound hunting bow and arrows as quickly as possible, and took the initiative to attack.

Almost at the same time, Ji Zongbang also realized that his whereabouts were exposed, and flashed out of the shadows.

The two of them seemed to have rehearsed many times beforehand.

Ji Xinghuo opened his bow and shot three arrows, one arrow more bizarre than the other.

The first arrow exploded the billboard, the second arrow collided on the wall of the building, hitting Ji Zongbang's knee, and the third arrow was pressed down, originally like it was going to shoot Ji Zongbang's chest, but Ji Zongbang's body was unbalanced and fell, so that this arrow just shot into the eye, and it was exactly the same.

"Hiss......"

Min Chongwu was dumbfounded, his whole body seemed to have been shocked, and if there was still hair on his body, it was all standing on end now.

Yan Xiao's pupils contracted violently into a dot.

"How is this possible?"

His first reaction was fake, this was a fake video synthesized by artificial intelligence, but Zhou Ju had watched it for so long, how could he not have thought of this.

The course of the battle was short, less than five seconds.

It was played on a loop on the screen, and the three of them watched it more than a dozen times in a row, and the more they watched, the more they didn't understand.

Zhou Yishang paused the video, his face was thoughtful, and he suddenly asked, "Do you think, which of his three arrows is the most clever?" ”

Min Chongwu subconsciously wanted to say the second arrow.

"The first arrow." Yan Xiao replied immediately, without a trace of hesitation.

"Oh?" Zhou Yishang was a little surprised.

"The second arrow allows the arrow to be steered with the help of a collision, which is a great trick, but a lot of Super Rangers and Stalkers can do it too." Yan Xiao's mouth hissed, and his speech was slurred, "The third arrow is prediction, and the difficulty is a little lower than the second arrow." ”

"It's the first arrow that's really powerful."

Yan Xiao pointed to the billboard that exploded on the screen and said: "The design of this kind of billboard is perfect, almost all potential safety hazards are eliminated, and in most cases, even if it is damaged, there will be no explosion, let alone electricity leakage." ”

"And he shot the billboard with one arrow, which made me wonder if it was luck or if he already knew there was something wrong with the billboard."

"The explosion of the billboard is actually not lethal and does not threaten Ji Zongbang."

"The reason why he did this was to force Ji Zongbang to bypass the stagnant water that had been turned on and get close to the wall of the building, so as to create favorable conditions for the second arrow to turn."

"These three arrows, one arrow after another, form a chain of traps, interlocking with each other."

"If any arrow goes wrong, it is impossible to shoot Ji Zongbang......"

Speaking of this, Yan Xiao's eyes were still full of incredulity, even after watching the surveillance video more than a dozen times, he didn't think that this was something that a junior ranger could do.

But the facts are in front of us.

Min Chongwu couldn't help but look at Yan Xiao, and sometimes he had to admit that this poisonous snake's brain was more flexible than his own and could see more information.

"But he succeeded!"

Zhou Yishang let out an exclamation, shook his head again, and said, "But I don't understand." ”

He operates the screen, which shows Ji Xinghuo's citizen file.

Yan Xiao had quickly browsed it before, but Min Chongwu saw it for the first time, so he hurriedly read it carefully.

"This person is a public child, his identity is innocent, and there is no problem with his whereabouts from childhood to adulthood, and the recorded remarks, Internet browsing records and search content, as a result of big data analysis, the probability that he is a spy or a hostile element is only one in a thousand."

Zhou Yishang said softly: "His family, friends, classmates, and people who have been in contact with him in the past five years, several of them have been included in the first-level monitoring list, but the problem is not big, and it has nothing to do with him." ”

"The political coordinates and ideological spectrum of his artificial intelligence speculation are 93% materialistic, 87% supportive, and 68%."

"Ji Xinghuo is a standard excellent citizen!"

Zhou Yishang finished reading the information.

Ji Xinghuo's file resume is impeccable, and people like him are not uncommon in APAC, and there are many, many of them.

This is true of more than ninety percent of the citizens' files accessed by the Sword Bureau.

"In other words, Ji Zongbang really just happened to run into Ji Xinghuo and was shot by him?" Yan Xiao asked.

Zhou Yishang nodded, "Yes." ”

"Then how do you explain that he, a junior ranger, actually killed a super Inhuman?" Yan Xiao was still unwilling.

"Because he's a genius!" Min Chongwu said loudly: "A world-class peerless genius with a fighting talent that none of us can match!" ”
