143. Flying

In the next two days, Dean obtained a diploma made of high-gloss coated paper and a dazzling transcript in advance through the relationship of Principal Lanz.

The certificate is simple:

Nevada State High School, officially awarded students Dean Lew High School Diploma.

June 20, 1981 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Then there is the signature of the principal and other relevant leaders.

It's only June 17th, and Dean got his diploma earlier than most students.

"You're not attending the graduation ceremony?"

Rust curiously rubbed his friend's diploma,

After Lao Mei's high school graduation ceremony, it means that students will have to leave home to study farther away, or move out of their parents' house to live on their own, so high school graduation ceremonies are more important than any other graduation ceremony, including college.

Parents of students usually go to the school to watch the ceremony, and after the ceremony, they will hold a graduation party for their children at home, inviting family and friends to celebrate together.

Some friends will give small gifts and money, and parents will give their graduating children a car or a trip.

"I've finished my prom, and I'm done with all the photos I should have taken." Dean shook his head, "My uncle isn't here either, so there's no need to do it." ”

Rust's face darkened after hearing this, and he and his graduation ceremony did not have any relatives to attend.

"Have fun, man, and when the graduation ceremony is over, let's join in the fun at Gretchen's graduation party."

β€œOK。”

"By the way, I have spoken to the Lycville barrister at Fran Law Firm, and he will help you with the claim, but be mentally prepared, I am afraid it will take several months to achieve the result." Dean threw the car keys over,

The female lawyer who approached Rust last time and claimed to help him claim against Al Daris was just a disguise for the man in Clytie's team, Podonna.

And Dean killed Dona, and Rust's claims counselor was gone, and as compensation, Dean helped him find a more suitable lawyer.

Watch Rust leave.

Dean put his diploma and transcript into the fantasy space, came to the recliner in the courtyard, and enjoyed the lazy morning sun and sunk into the system.

……

"Shadow of the Past" lv1 (200/200), the handwriting begins to blur like a tadpole floating in the water, but it quickly coalesces.

Shadow of the Past Lv2 (0/300)

Skill Boost, you gain 0.5 Spirit,

Spiritual: 17.6β†’18.1.

Hiss...

North!

North!

Mama provoke Fak, this "north"!

Dean was full of excitement, and subconsciously hammered his temples hard to dispel the electric energy buzzing auditory hallucinations in his mind.

Another line of text flashed in front of meβ€”

Because of the special reward you chose, this time it will be improved, and the telekinesis of the Shadow of the Past will be greatly enhanced on the original basis.

……

The pitch-black figure landed in front of Dean, and in the sunlight, the silhouette around the body was like wisps of mist with vitality, constantly surging in small areas.

And that face was not as dull as an ordinary ghost, the eyes were agile, and the face was lifelike, not inferior to Clytie's ghost.

"How do you feel?"

Dean asked through telepathy.

"It was very comfortable and my mind became clear... I was reminded of some of the lost memories. ”

Shadow's eyes lit up as he looked at his body filled with black arcs, his face filled with joy as if he had been reborn.

Obviously, his mind has recovered a lot after the skill upgrade.

It used to be almost a ten-year-old child, and nowβ€”

Dean gave an order.

"Shadow" reflexively stretched out his hand to the window on the second floor at the back of the courtyard, ten meters away.

Invisible telekinesis rolled up a twelfth-grade reading workbook and a pen flew out of the window and fell far in front of the shadow.

"Shadow" sat cross-legged on the grass, and began to read with a focused demeanor, if you ignore the pitch-black body, he is a diligent middle school student.

A quarter of an hour later.

The book was handed to Dean, who checked the answers like a teacher, and the handwriting was beautiful, and the answers were right and wrong.

"Now this mind is probably at the level of fifteen or sixteen years old."

This is a good thing, Shadow's intelligent recovery can understand more complex commands, such as stalking and intimidation, and can also improvise on the orders issued by Dean in certain situations, rather than the rigid and inflexible of the past.

"Can you speak now?"

"We can communicate with our voices as long as you allow us, but I'm more used to teleporting with my heart." "Shadow" made a cold, mechanical male voice,

"Now what do you have thoughts and wishes," Dean stared at the one that was cool and self-cool, but more immature, as if locked in the face of an eighteen-year-old, "Honestly, this is an order. ”

"Your command is my wish, my mission from birth." Shadow glanced at him calmly, like a knight in military uniform who knelt down on one knee to the supreme king.

Dean almost couldn't help but pull out his unwarranted sword and tap it on his shoulder.

"Don't have any ideas? Like finding your missing parents, Lena and Light, like taking another look at the ghost of your girlfriend Mona? As soon as you say it, I will grant it for you. ”

"If that's your will, I'll do it." Ei's answer was impeccable, "It's an honor to fulfill every one of your orders, and I get great pleasure and a sense of accomplishment from it. ”

Dean became more and more curious, and the system did not know what magic could transform a powerful ghost into doing what he would say.

But he never had to worry about betrayal.

"Can you read my thoughts and my heart?"

"Unless you reveal it to me... Otherwise not. ”

"When you live in a board or hide in my body, can you sense the outside world?"

"Not at all, I'm in a deep sleep."

So there is no need to worry about privacy leakage.

Next, it's the turn of the main event, to test the mental power after the "shadow" is strengthened.

"Shadow" sensed Dean's thoughts, and immediately turned to the large object covered with canvas in the corner of the courtyard, and waved his dark arm lightly more than ten meters away.

The canvas lifted to the ground, revealing a rudimentary black motorcycle, Dean's usual simulacrum car.

"Shadow" locked his eyes on the black motorcycle, his hands were separated on both sides, and he slowly bent hard, as if he was holding something-

An amazing scene has appeared!

An invisible force wrapped around the motorcycle and lifted it off the ground in an instant, suspended at a height of almost half a meter, and moved around the yard at a very slow speed, like an old man walking with a cane.

Dean stared at the scene and nodded.

Before the upgrade, the "Shadow" relied on telekinesis to lift objects of more than a dozen kg at most, but now this motorcycle is almost 200kg, and this strength has skyrocketed more than ten times!

Already not inferior to the ghost Alexander Raphael.

"Accelerate!"

Dean gave the order.

The speed at which the motorcycle floats around the yard has changed from "an old man's slow walk" to "a normal person's walk".

"Full speed up!"

Whoopβ€”

The breeze gently shook the bushes around the yard, and the speed of the motorcycle's movement changed from "walking" to "trotting".

"How long can you stay at full power?"

"Until I'm gone."

"Good. Now, lift that Blanco. ”

But this time, no matter how "Shadow" activated his telekinesis, the two-ton car did not move, and Shadow fell into a state of sluggishness because he exceeded the limit.

Dean was thoughtful, telekinesis was like a muscle, with a certain amount of elasticity, if it opened too much and too quickly at a time, it would break.

"Then lift me up with telekinesis."

Dean felt a soft air cover his body, and then his feet rose from the ground, and in a cool breeze and a slight trance, he flew out of the second-floor window, through which he could see the bed and bookshelves in his bedroom.

But his limbs bobbed comically from side to side, like an astronaut floating in a space capsule.

"A little to the left, a little harder."

Dean continued to command micro-manipulation, and then relied on the balance brought by his superhuman dexterity, and soon stood firmly in the air of five meters, opened his hands, took a deep breath, and looked out of the fence, the small buildings on the other side of the road were extremely small.

"Stop, let me down, let's change places."

In order to avoid leaking secrets, Dean put on his watch, beer cans, and various props, and left the neighborhood to a remote and dense forest in the back mountain.

"Shadow" released his telekinesis to support him, and carefully floated into the air.

Five meters above the ground.

Ten meters.

Twenty meters.

Dean flew lightly to the canopy of a tree, the wind high above was sharp and cold, scraping against his skin like a steel needle, bringing bursts of tingling pain.

As soon as he looked down, the soles of his feet were lush green, and the jagged trees reached into the sky, and as far as the eye could see, the green clumps were dotted among the endless earthy yellow low mountains in the distance.

Turning around, the steel jungle of dense high-rise buildings in downtown Las Vegas all saluted him.

β€œCool!” Dean experienced a wonderful sense of weightlessness, spreading his hands at a height of twenty meters, his toes lightly touching the canopy, and then swaying a few steps back and forth alternately, just like a light skill master in a martial arts movie in his previous life.

"Can it be any higher?"

Dean gave the order, and the "shadow" who had been standing on the ground suddenly flew up and turned into a ghost armor to wrap around him.

Whew-

Dean is elevated above the ground again.

Thirty meters.

Forty meters.

Fifty meters.

The temperature began to drop rapidly.

The wind was blowing, and the green forest beneath his feet became smaller and smaller, and the air around him was a little thinner.

β€œWooh…”

Dean's eyes were blown into a slit by the wind, and his face began to twist and deform, and he shouted,

"Can it be any higher?"

"As long as I don't disappear, I can take you all the way up."

"In other words, there is no pressure to fly to an altitude of one, two hundred meters or even thousands of meters!"

Dean was surprised.

If, according to common sense, the "shadow" releases a force that lifts him, then the "shadow" itself must bear the reaction force.

Kinematics seems to break this rule of physics.

"It's really an unscientific force."

"But now there is no need to challenge the extreme altitude, no need to continue to rise, fly forward!"

Dean ordered, and Shadow immediately led him to soar like a bird at an altitude of fifty meters.

The speed is not fast, almost five meters per second.

Shadow senses Dean's thoughts synchronously, can take him to any desired position, and allows him to do handstands, spins, floats, walk spacesteps, and perform all kinds of bells and whistles in mid-air at will.

"I, Dean, am finally flying!"

In the special environment of high altitude, the adrenaline soared, the heart was like a drum beating so violently that it was about to jump out of the chest, and the strong stimulation and excitement made Dean's face red and roared!

A hearty feeling arises spontaneously!

Rock climbing, skydiving, and F1 racing are all weak compared to manipulating telekinesis flight, and probably wingsuit flying can be compared.

"That's the game men should play!"

Dean imitated Superman for a quarter of an hour, reluctantly lowered his body and fell smoothly back into the forest meadow.

"I'm going to fly for half an hour every day from now on!"

Dean was reluctant to make a decision.

His bold attempt also unearthed some strengths and weaknesses of telekinetic flight.

The weakness is that he moves too slowly, much slower than he can run at full strength.

But there are also many advantages, and the ability to fly is full of strategic significance.

Dean came up with several ways to use it almost instantly.

Escape –

Fleeing from the ground to a height of several hundred meters, unless the enemy has the ability to strike from a distance, or has the ability to fly, and prepares the equipment to fly in advance, he can only watch Dean escape.

Attack –

Telekinesis lifts enemies into the air and throws them from a great height.

When the universe is cast, the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, and even the steel and iron bones will be broken into pieces!

Infiltrate –

Normally, a heavily guarded building is surrounded by walls and power grids, and surveillance cameras are everywhere.

It is very difficult to enter from above the ground.

But Dean can take advantage of the night to fly to the top of the building hundreds of meters in the air, and then slowly descend, fall on the roof of the building, and sneak in smoothly.

And telekinesis flight is not like helicopters, parachutes, or hot air balloons, which can create huge movements.

It's silent and extremely hidden!

……

Of course, there are many other uses for telekinesis waiting to be discovered.

Dean began experimenting with the rest of the features.

Mental Barrier –

Shadow unleashed her telekinesis, constructing a barrier with all her might to wrap around a soft pillow that lay under a palm tree.

Dean then lifted the Colt M1911A1, loaded with .45ACP, and aimed to shoot.

Bang bang!

Two shots.

The bullets buzzed, and the two warheads were like hitting a sponge, and they were instantly bounced off and fell into a thick layer of humus.

The telekinesis shield crumbles, but the pillow in protection is intact.

Bang!

The third shot.

There was a "pop" in the air.

The telekinesis shield shattered into yellow light like glass, and clumps of white goose feathers floated out of the broken pillow.

"So, the telekinesis turned into a barrier, and the full protection can withstand two shots.45ACP..."

Dean withdrew his gun, thoughtfully, this protection was far inferior to the ghost armor incarnated by Shadow.

With the blessing of the 18.1 spiritual attribute, the Ghost Armor has been able to eat hundreds of rifle bullets in a short period of time.

But the telekinesis shield has a supporting effect and can help Dean protect the others.

Shields after experimenting.

Next is the telekinetic impact -

Dean lined up a dozen cans of pure fruit in a row.

"Shadow" launched a continuous impact.

Bang bang bang!

The explosion continued, the cans kept bursting open holes, and were blown away by the force for several meters, and the crystal wine spilled into the air to reflect the colorful rainbow light

"Using telekinetic impact to hit key points such as temples, throat, and lower body is enough to severely damage or even kill ordinary people without knowing it."

But it is very wasteful to attack the target directly with telekinesis, and the other way is more efficient -

The "shadow" locked onto the board, and its telekinesis drove it into the air, making a whirring sound of breaking through the air, turning into a silver light and shuttling quickly through the forest.

Dean held his breath and tried his best to catch it, but he was dazzled and couldn't keep up at all.

"Mental power manipulates light sharp weapons to attack, and the movement speed can reach thirty or forty meters per second."

Killing people silently, turning casually, accelerating and decelerating, is more agile than a firearm.

Ordinary people can't react and are pierced to the point.

……

"Whew... Suck ..."

Suppress the huge surprise.

Next, Dean tested Shadow's ability to vibrate, rotate, twist, and shatter objects again.

As well as its own data, Shadow's speed and power are still almost twice that of Dean.

Once, with the blessing of the 16 spirits, the maximum time limit for the existence of "Shadow" was about 20 minutes, and the range of movement away from Dean was 36 meters.

The spirit breaks through 18 points, the maximum duration skyrockets to 50 minutes, and the extreme activity distance increases to 80 meters.

More than double!

It's more than enough to deal with any battle, and it's called on and off for a day.

The "Shadow" has evolved from a killer weapon to a "conventional weapon".

……

Moreover, while "Shadow" turns into a ghost armor to protect him, he can also use his telekinesis to manipulate weapons or turn into shields in a distracted way, and Dean himself can also attack and defend.

"Shadow of the Past", Nian Power, Dean, the trinity, offensive and defensive cooperation.

Dean's strength has reached a new level.

……

His spirit sank into the system.

"Now my development has been overly biased towards the shadow of the past in my mental attributes, and my other physical attributes are too far behind, especially the perception, strength, and will attributes. But I can't rely on this one superpower alone. ”

Although blindly improving the highest attribute, it can quickly enhance combat effectiveness, just as Clayty focuses on improving her spirit, and her mental power is so strong that it is crushing.

However, this method of self-cultivation has obvious flaws and shortcomings - excessive lack of survivability, endurance, and adaptability, and it is easy to lose control of the mind and lose reason in battle.

Dean has more than one superpower, including most of the attributes, has the conditions and foundation for all-round development, and is more willing to fly physically and mentally together, with strong survivability and lethality coexisting.

"In the future, focus on improving will, strength, and perception, and strive to become a hexagonal warrior!"
