Chapter 4: The New Humans of Burglary
In addition to the Batman signals created by not just fanatics and paranormal phenomena, there are other paranormal phenomena in this Gotham City.
One of the most popular in the United States is probably the superpower that has suddenly appeared recently.
These people have six spiritual abilities, including insight, creation, spirit travel, heart transmission, manipulation, and change, and will randomly awaken among ordinary humans (not limited to Ah Mei, you see).
It's just that because of the tradition of freedom in this country, the superpowers who have gained incredible power suddenly consider themselves "new humans" and decide to gather superpowers to rule the earth.
"It's worthy of Ah Mei, you see, it's really a good place for a brilliant person, very good from the other world, love comes from Asta."
Chen Zhou almost thought that he was actually sent back to Asta by Liu Yi (Junzi Liuyi).
"Isn't this a psychic ability! The rat had indeed heard of the existence of psychic abilities in some places where magic was not prevalent, but he didn't expect that even the hometown of the undead beast had such an ability."
Chen, who had never seen such a system in Asta before, knew nothing about it.
"Psychic abilities, as the name suggests, are a natural power that comes from within, and people like the famous Psionic are experts at manipulating them."
This kind of power that is different from magic can be performed purely by mental activity without posture, materials, equipment, or chanting, and is a kind of mental power similar to magic.
Basically, it's equivalent to a special spellcaster who is simpler and more talented than a Warlock.
However, unlike soul energy, which manipulates primordial magic, psionic energy is still a part of magic.
Any effect that works on magic can also work on psionic energy, and vice versa.
Unless there are special circumstances (worldly), the anti-magic area of the Necro area will also cause psionic energy to become unusable.
"It's easier than a warlock and eats a special caster with talent (random)?"
Through Jerry's introduction, Chen has a general understanding of this power.
Basically, psychic abilities are about the same as the superpowers he knows.
"Psionic energy is indeed a very powerful spell-like spell, but it is more talented than a warlock, and it is not able to gain power from inheritance or origin like a warlock, so it must take longer and more energy to practice and study."
On top of that, just like Warlocks, Psychic Warlocks (one of the most prevalent psychic abilities) and Zealists awaken abilities that are largely random.
"It's hard brother, why do you feel like I'm suddenly on the mutant set next door."
There is no doubt that Gotham City also has Adepts who call themselves "New Humans".
They will openly attack government facilities, attack official forces, and buy cemeteries.
This has led to some anxiety among ordinary people across the United States, especially in the slums, in recent times.
"Lily, if you're going out, be careful."
Although Chinatown is not a slum, the security at night is also very bad, and there are often desperate old Americans armed robbers.
"Lily will avoid causing too much damage."
"Don't worry about her, she can shoot a few buffs to brush most of the legions in this world alone."
Chen Zhou thought about it, indeed, their family did not persecute others, it was merciful.
He then tried to search the Internet for videos related to Gotham City.
Fortunately, the new human beings have no hidden thoughts at all, and there is no shortage of bold people in Ah Meiling.
It didn't take long for him to find a video of a black maniac robbing at gunpoint.
In the video, a black man in shabby clothes, dreadlocks, hair and earrings rushed into a convenience store and reached out to touch the other person's chest while the clerk scanned the code.
In the next moment, the convenience store clerk's body shattered and collapsed from the neck down and above the waist, and a hole the size of a basketball appeared.
Even the heart is gone, and the people of this world naturally die in an instant.
"This is a Level 1 Ability Dissipation Touch, which can teleport a small part of a human body or object to a distant place, and is an ability of the teleportation system."
There is no forward shaking, no chanting, just a touch can kill, and the power of the psychic ability is stronger than Chen Zhou imagined.
※ The HD of a civilian is d4, in other words, a level 1 ordinary person who is average in all aspects only has 1-4 HP, which is comparable to the damage of the 0 ring trick.
"It's too much!"
Lily was incredulous about that.
You know, even Asta, who advocates personal force, is unlikely to have such a professional killing a merchant on the street and taking away the goods.
"Ah Mei, you see that this is the case, the air is filled with the smoke of freedom, but this 'new human' has been taught a lesson immediately."
Before the black man could walk out of the store after killing the clerk and stealing the goods, a gunshot rang out nearby.
Passers-by, who were also in line, shot the maniac in the head with an American-style home.
"My impression of Blue Star has changed, this is too fierce and martial, I feel more dangerous than the grassland known for its martial arts."
At least in the grassland and Lionheart City, they will hardly be shot in the head while walking on the street, and this is an ordinary daily life in Ah Mei's opinion.
"Fortunately, the durability of new humans is comparable to that of humans, and they will still die if they are shot."
Considering that the Mindset also has random awakening abilities and can't learn as specifically as a mage, the chances of a new human appearing that can resist modern weapons and have great lethality are not high.
"But there is also a profession called a psychic scholar who is as capable as a mage, and can master psionic abilities by learning."
If such professionals begin to appear among the new humans......
"Hell, can't you just live in peace?"
At the same time, Chen Zhou and Lily looked at the balcony of the study on the second floor of the small building.
Unexpectedly, on the first night I moved to Gotham, I encountered a small probability event like a burglary, and there were three ......
……
The Dixon Pier, north of Chinatown, is extremely high-capacity, with the potential for weapons, drugs, people, and even more indescribable illegal goods.
The remote area, the high frequency of people and dangerous goods made it a seedbed for evil, and the psychic people who claimed to be new humans gradually took root here.
In the absence of a leader, these psionics, who gain psychic power by releasing primal emotions, are more inclined to chaos and rarely suppress their desires.
That's why they're eyeing homes along the river on the south side of Dixon Wharf, near Chinatown.
The house, which had been uninhabited for a long time, suddenly turned on tonight, and it was clear that it had a new occupant.
And these new humans decide to give their neighbors a small superpower shock, earn some extra money from each other, and make each other the cornerstone of the rise of the new humans.
