Althea put down her phone, rubbed her neck, and got up from the cold ground.

The first assassination family, the killer who beat the enemy Hakka really deserves his reputation. Those two people before should be Miji's eldest brother and younger brother, but Althea didn't know them, and she didn't plan to know them.

After all, those people only have business in their eyes, and they don't need friends.

This is still what Mi Ji told her, his eldest brother taught them since childhood that killers don't need friends, so the relationship between her and Mi Ji stopped at plastic.

But she didn't have time to sigh about this now, but strode over to her captain and crouched down.

"Really, dead again." Althea sighed.

It's a big loss this time...... Unlucky, why do you have to choose them in the four directions?

In the case of paddling and fishing, she really has no way to beat up the assassination of the enemy.

Just as Aithea sighed, a layer of pale yellow telekinetic light lit up on her body, and then the telekinesis fluctuated a little in the next second, and the pale yellow light became deeper and darker, until it became a dark purple and blackened ominous telekinetic power.

If other hunters found out about it, they would be horrified.

That ominous telekinesis exists only for the dead.

The thoughts after death are the obsessions of people after death, how can they exist in the body of the living?

Mind, that is, the special ability of this world, is the embodiment of human vitality. When a person is able to control the life force (qi) in his body and prevent it from draining naturally, it is called awakening thoughts.

Therefore, the thoughts on a normal person are the qi of birth, and if we call it 'the thought of life', then the qi of death that corresponds to the death that arises after death can be called 'the thought of death'.

Not to mention that a living person has the thought of death, how can a person have both the thought of life and the thought of death, it is unimaginable.

But that's how it happened, and I saw that Aithea's hand with the thought of death slowly touched the wound on the back of Matos's head that had been pierced by the reading needle, and in an instant, a twisted clock pattern appeared around the skin of the wound.

Her trait ability "Twist the Clock": when the clock hand (second hand) is twisted, she can twist the time node into a different time from others, when the clock hand (minute hand) is twisted, she can go back in time for a short time to heal wounds and restore items, etc., when the clock hand (hour hand) is twisted, she can quickly change the time, accelerate the aging of the opponent, or go back to the original state.

As we all know, the ability to read is divided into six major systems, namely the enhancement system, the change system, the embodiment system, the operation system, the release system, and the most mysterious trait system.

But anyone who has awakened the ability to read can know their ability through a small test. And Athea's original body is released, that is, the original telekinesis of her body. And when she switches to the state of 'Dead Thoughts', she is a trait.

As for why there are two situations of 'life thoughts' and 'death thoughts', Aithea speculates that it may be that when the original body died, the obsession with life caused her to be attracted by that energy and resurrected in the other party's body.

So far, this strange situation has been caused to have both life and death at the same time.

When the minute hand turned a scale counterclockwise on the twisted clock behind Matos's head, Althea withdrew her telekinesis and patted him on the shoulder.

"Wake up, don't sleep."

"Huh?" Matos, who was still dead just now, moved, and half-sat up with the back of his head covered, looking confused. "What's the situation?"

The fighting in the distance still did not stop, and no one paid attention to the direction of the two, so naturally there was no way to know that half a minute ago, these were originally two corpses.

"How do you feel about being knocked unconscious by the enemy?" Althea asked with concern.

"Well, it's okay, I'm fine." Matos shook his head, a little confused, "I don't even feel anything." ”

Naturally, he didn't feel it anymore, after all, his current body had returned to the state it was in before he was killed because of the effect of the "twisted clock".

If you haven't been hurt, why is it painful.

It's just that any ability to defy the sky has a price, she can control time, and time can also destroy her.

Althea felt that she might have the most dangerous telepathic abilities in the world.

The control of time is not something that people can have, it is a power that belongs to God. Of course, if there is a god in this world.

Every time she turns back a moment of time, her own life (time) spends a moment backwards, and vice versa. When she accelerates the passage of time in other people or things, her own life (time) also accelerates and reverses.

If she abuses her power, there will only be two ends. Either you run out of life, or you rejuvenate yourself to the point of becoming an embryo.

Therefore, in order to suppress the ability to control her increasingly powerful afterlife thoughts, Althea can only give herself a 'restriction and oath'.

That is, she can accumulate storage time by forcing herself not to enter the state of 'dead thoughts'.

When she is in the state of 'giving birth to thoughts', she can accumulate ten minutes of storage time for every minute that passes, and in the state of ordinary people who are forced to be unable to use her thoughts, she can accumulate one hundred minutes of storage time for every minute that passes.

And the time stored can be used to offset the price she needs to pay when she uses her abilities.

In this way, it will not cause her to jump back and forth in age repeatedly after using the ability, reducing the side effects of the ability on herself.

So when there is usually no task, Althea is in the state of an ordinary person, and she will only use telekinesis when she has a task, but it is limited to the ordinary telekinesis of the release department.

In short, in order to save Matos this time, she not only switched to the state of 'dead thoughts', but also posted some time to go in, which is really a big loss.

As Althea lamented, there was a loud 'bang' that pulled her and Matos, who had just been resurrected and was in a daze, to reality.

The two turned their heads, only to find that the direction of Group B in the distance was brightly lit, illuminating the entire city almost instantly.

'Damn, crazy, crazy, there are too many people!' ''Support support, Group B requests support!'' ''Fuck stupid! What the hell are you doing, don't die?!! ’

The sound of shouting suddenly came from the earphones that fell to the ground.

Matos finally reacted and immediately picked up the headphones, "Team D received it, support immediately!" ”

After saying that, he glanced at Aithea and said, "Go!" ”

Althea nodded, and instantly jumped down with the other party, darting through the rooftops of the night city until they saw the chaotic territory.

"That's it." Althea stopped on a rooftop somewhere.

"Can you do it here?" Matos stopped, and a wearable night vision device appeared above his head.

This is his special ability, which can manifest various reconnaissance and surveillance equipment, and belongs to the telekinesis ability of the embodiment system.

"Yes, it's already under my firepower." A sniper rifle also appeared in Althea's hand.

"Crazy Sniper" belongs to the original ability, one burst shot, two scatter shots, and three burst shots.

She switched directly to third gear and fired at all speeds.

"Eight o'clock."

"Understood."

In an instant, countless pale golden light bullets poured out from the muzzle of the sniper gun, and with the silent roar, it gradually suppressed the firepower of the enemy on the opposite side, creating time for others to counterattack.

'Thank you, Althea. Soon the voice of a colleague from Group B came from the headphones, "That's it, let's gather and rush straight into the villa." ’

Wait. The leader of Group A suddenly interrupted, and it was a long time before he cursed again, "Bastard, the employer is dead!" Damn, I'm tired and tired, I can't get the balance again this time, it's a day! ’

"What's going on, how did the employer die??" Matos yelled into the headphones.

'Why do you ask me how do I know,!' Dead, all dead! ’

'How could it be ......'

……

"Well, confirm that all the employers are dead, and none of them are spared."

In the villa, everyone looked at the corpses that had all been stabbed through the brain with a blow from the pin, and they all showed a look of fear and fear.

"It's terrible, and only people from that family can do it."

"It's good that I didn't meet it." Finally, someone said what everyone wanted.

"Is this the strength of the top minders...... someone sighed, "we haven't even seen their shadows." ”

"It's better not to see it." Matos subconsciously rubbed the back of his head, always feeling that his place was cold, as if he had also been inserted by that terrible reading needle. But then he shook his head and shook off the strange thought.

Althea glanced at him and said, "Alright, the mission is over, I'm going home to rest." ”

The corners of Matos' mouth twitched slightly, "What did you do?" That's where you need to rest......"

"I don't want to use my mental abilities anymore lately." Althea said.

As long as she uses her thoughts, even if she is a 'birth thought', even if she doesn't practice, her 'death thought' will continue to grow until it becomes more and more difficult to control, which is what she does not want to see.

"That's right, the association has had an easy job recently, and I don't even need the ability to read." At this moment, a person suddenly spoke.

"What task, so easy?" In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up, and the atmosphere that was still lifeless just now had long since disappeared.

The hunters they co-ordinated were indeed experts in fishing and paddling, and Althea couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

But then again, if it weren't for that, she might have left the organization and become a free man a long time ago.

"The day after tomorrow, this year's hunter test will begin." The humane, brisk tone, "It is said that the content of this exam requires a lot of auxiliary examiners, and there is still a shortage of manpower, so we may be able to earn some pocket money." ”

"Damn, why didn't you say such a good task earlier." Matos was pleasantly surprised, "In previous years, there were not so many people, and it was difficult to grab a spot. ”

"It's not because we're still on bodyguard duty, and it's not like that. I thought it would be too late, but now it's not just a coincidence. ”

"That's great, that's it." Matos clapped his hands excitedly and immediately took out his mobile phone to apply.

"I don't think you're too happy." Another person said, "You may not know, last year the hunter exam came out of a dangerous person, a madman, directly beat the examiner to serious injury, and finally was eliminated. There's a good chance that that person will continue to take the test this year......"

Hearing this, everyone immediately gasped.

Generally speaking, the hunter exam is to provide a channel for the hunter association to continuously inject fresh blood by screening outstanding ordinary people. Therefore, even if the candidates' strength is strong, they are still ordinary people who have not learned telekinesis, and it is an unbridgeable gap for their professional hunters, and there will be no danger at all.

However, in the hunter test over the years, there will always be geniuses who awaken their mental power on their own, which leads to the absurd thing that the examiner can't beat the candidate. Unfortunately, such an accident occurred in the last hunter test.

In other words, the secondary examination task of the Hunter Association this time may not be as easy as everyone wishes.

"Forget it, I've applied for everything, it's a big deal to stay away from that person." Matos pretended to be relaxed, "Besides, that dangerous person won't necessarily come this year. ”

……

Soon, the next morning, the results were available on the part of the association.

"Althea, it's done!" Matos waved his hand and said, "We'll book an airship ticket and leave now." ”

"Where will this year's Hunter Test be held?" Althea asked, "Far away?" ”

The test starts tomorrow, and if it's too far, it can be a little tight.

"It's not far, it's in the city of Kent in the ancient Ganyu Kingdom next door, it's very close to here." Matos replied, "It's three hours away by airship, just in time." ”

"Well, let's go."

Althea shrugged indifferently, and at this time, the phone 'buzzed' twice, which was a message from her cheap partner.

[Magician: Hey, I'm going to take the magician level test tomorrow, and I may not be able to reply to the message in time, don't miss me too much~/Kiss]

[Hey, my dear, haven't you even been admitted to the magician's license?] Come on, baby~】

[Magician: Hey, the examiner's magic tricks last year were so bad that I just threw him two playing cards, and I was disqualified/Poor Baba]

[Oops: Shocked, how can this be, it's too much!] /Touch your head】

[Hey, hey: You must work hard to get admitted this year, so that everyone can see your strength! ] Come on, dear! /Love/Love】

[Magician: I'll come on, little apple, don't miss me too much~/Love/Shy]

[Hey, hey: Uh-huh, don't worry, baby, I won't miss you, I love you~/Bixin/Shy]

Althea resisted the urge to vomit and finished the message, turned off her phone, and ......

Then she realized that something was not quite right.

Tomorrow, the Magician test, was eliminated last year because of a conflict with the examiner......

I don't know why, but there's always a sense of déjà vu.

Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway, don't bother to think about it.

An hour later, Althea and Matos boarded the airship bound for the city of Kent.
