Underworld Retrograde

When it got completely dark, Xinghuo was taken away for psychological counseling to avoid leaving a psychological shadow.

There are also quite a few handlers who are investigating the cause of this out-of-control incident.

Ma Da is a second-awakened psychic. He has been a handler for several years, and his experience can be described as seasoned.

There are no so-called 'inner demons' in normal times, and there is no need to advance.

But it suddenly twisted during an action.

While the officials are saddened by this, they are also extremely vigilant.

Groups of handlers with various tracking and investigation capabilities rushed to the scene, hoping to find the real culprit from clues.

If someone looks down from high above the giant city, they will see a large number of figures moving in mid-air at a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to understand in the dark night.

At the same time, the three wild psykers captured during the logistics team's "team building" are also being strictly monitored and interrogated by the officials.

They are wild psykers from different urban areas, but they can accurately find each other, gather together in the giant city, and take risks in an attempt to surprise a handler.

Obviously, someone is related to them, and the officials must follow the clues to find this related person. Eliminate risks for Jucheng in advance.

Judging from the current intelligence, the other party's ability is very strange.

It is said that they have some mysterious communication channel.

You can make contact without any time difference, and even directly contact psykers of the same camp in several giant cities.

Someone will trade or give tasks there, and those who complete them will receive potion materials or psychic weapons.

After every 'contact', the items will be delivered to the other party through some unknown channel.

This makes them hide very deep, and even if the giant cities are aware of them, it is difficult to eradicate them.

The mysterious organization of unknown origin and the sudden distortion of the handlers showed a sense of oppression that was about to come, making the senior management of the handling department a little serious.

Neither should be underestimated, and one must be vigilant and careful.

At this time, a piece of news was reported to the headquarters.

"Night General. That young man who imitates the face of the Overlord? Is he going to be promoted soon?" A gray-haired old man was surprised: "So fast? How long has he been joining the processing department?"

"It's been almost a month since I finished fighting." An old woman responded: "After all, I have experienced many battles, even smashed forbidden objects, and once faced ghosts and immortals of unknown levels. I thought I would have to wait another month, I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. It’s probably due to a change in mentality that allowed the Well of Souls to expand.”

"Okay, although we don't know what kind of existence is behind him, but at present, that person does not seem to be hostile to humans." The old man said: "It would be better if, while Ye General breaks through, we can get a glimpse of that existence. alright."

"At that time, we only detected the disappearance of the ghost fairy's aura, and did not see the figure of that existence. What a pity."

On the other side, Li Yelai felt the changes in his soul well, and after confirming that there was some change in his mentality.

The well of his soul began to extend and continued to expand towards the virtual realm.

This is a sign of an imminent reawakening.

So, he said calmly: "I want to be promoted."

He became the fastest-promoted handler among the dozen newcomers in the four branches of Border City No. 3.

If Li Yunyan were here, he would probably yell something

‘Today I enter the fairyland on land! ’

For the sake of safety, Cheese's face moved slightly and he said softly: "Congratulations."

After changing hands, he carried Li Yelai into the car and immediately informed Yang Chen.

When the two arrived at the branch, Yang Chen was already waiting at the door.

Yang Chen didn't seem surprised by Li Yelai's promotion speed. After looking at Li Yelai for a while, he nodded and said: "It is true that he is about to be promoted. This is your first promotion. Before you are successfully promoted, you must be careful about the virtual realm. The penetration of power and the possible interference from virtual creatures will be taken care of by me, Cheese, and the other teammates.”

Promotion rituals are dangerous, especially during promotion. If you encounter interference from virtual creatures, it will be a narrow escape.

Because if creatures in the virtual world want to come to the physical world, there is another way besides using some kind of bloody evil ritual. It is to occupy the body of a psychic!

A body that fits perfectly is an irresistible temptation for virtual creatures.

Several cases can be found in the processing department's forum.

It is said that a certain virtual creature with a good IQ found a body that suited him very well, so he launched an offensive against a certain psyker.

After many failures, he set his sights on the children and descendants of psykers.

Perseveringly interfering in an attempt to seize a body.

As a result, the psykers in this family have a high probability of losing control.

And a creature in the virtual realm cannot be killed. Killing his physical body will only banish him back to the virtual realm.

It has become a nightmare for that family.

This is the difficulty of creatures in the virtual realm.

Of course, low-awakened psykers generally cannot attract the attention of virtual creatures. It is a low probability problem for Li Ye to encounter virtual creatures at this level.

"If I am very unlucky and I really encounter a virtual creature, how should I solve it?" Li Yelai looked at his luck and felt that it is not impossible for a virtual creature to encounter me.

"After the psyker opens up the Well of Soul, he will actually leave his own projection in the virtual realm through the Well of Soul." Yang Chen took Li Yelai and Cheese into the branch, and explained: "The number of awakenings The more you have, the bigger your shadow will be in the virtual world."

"Understood, my current projection is still too small, and virtual creatures generally cannot detect me. After I awaken many times, the projection becomes larger, and they can naturally sense me." Li Yelai nodded: "But I am It’s really bad luck, what if you are really caught?”

"Don't say such unlucky words." Cheese frowned and lightly kicked Li Yelai's calf with some dissatisfaction.

"However, it is normal for you to have such worries." Yang Chen comforted: "When you are promoted, we will also watch you in our soul well. If there is a virtual realm creature that discovers you and attacks you, If you're the only one with the second level of awareness, it won't be a powerful virtual creature. We can scare it away or wait until your promotion is over."

"No wonder I need your care. This is like a protector in a fairy novel." Li Yelai thought.

"So, with us here, the main thing you should be careful about is the influence of the virtual realm on you." Yang Chen showed a serious expression: "According to our analysis, it may be the rules of the virtual realm, or lead you to fall into the desire to kill, incarnate Kill the devil, or guide you to liberate your desires, or induce you to pursue some untouchable mysterious knowledge."

Li Yelai has heard this statement many times, but still doesn't quite understand this dangerous person.

"Is it a direct change in personality?"

"Yes, after being affected, you are no longer you. And you yourself didn't notice anything." Yang Chen said in a deep voice: "For example, the glutton I dealt with before."

"He was originally a man who loved his family, but the Church of Ember guided him to become a psyker, which caused him to be directly distorted. In order to suppress the insatiable hunger, he finally attacked his wife and children."

"There was also a big shot in academia who was bewitched during his promotion and gained some mysterious knowledge. In order to pursue this knowledge and the so-called truth, he conducted human experiments on his daughter and students. A story appeared A heart-wrenching tragedy.”

"Turning a man who was willing to die for his family into an ogre who devoured his family. Turning a kind scholar into this paranoid monster is the influence of the power of the virtual realm."

Li Yelai was horrified when he heard this: "This Ember Church is really doing all kinds of bad things!"

At the same time, Li Yelai was also glad that he chose to join the official team.

If I were a wild psyker and I lost control and was not dealt with immediately, my sister still doesn’t know what would happen to her. Eat it? Sacrifice?

Li Yelai couldn't believe that he would do such a thing, but this was the twisted power of the virtual realm.

Before being twisted, those psychics would not believe that they would do those things.

However, ‘Mr. Shadow’ might not allow himself to be easily distorted by the virtual realm, right?

It’s hard to say, maybe ‘Mr. Shadow’ just wants to distort himself.

I still don’t know much about Him, so I just look for opportunities to make excuses.

Li Yelai asked again: "As a psyker of the Path of All Things, do I need to take magic potion for my second awakening?"

Without the use of exact potions, a psyker's abilities are randomly acquired upon promotion.

random!

Therefore, even if psykers of the same level have the same path, their strength will be very different.

Some handlers are extremely offensive.

Like Starfire, he became extremely destructive once he became a psyker, becoming a humanoid flamethrower.

Other psykers on the same path may have auxiliary abilities such as water source sensing or electromagnetic interference.

The newcomers on the same path have a big difference in combat power. Are you angry?

To avoid this situation, psykers need to take magic potions.

For example, Cheese, the first two awakenings were auxiliary abilities, but it was not until the third awakening that he used magic potions to gain an offensive ability, the spirit of speech.

Because she didn't dare to take the risk and could only spend merit points to buy potions.

"No. Our processing department does not have the magic potion for the second awakening of the Vientiane Path." Yang Chen shook his head regretfully: "We only have the second awakening potion for the Divine Path and the Netherworld Path. We don't have the potion for the other paths, maybe some There must be a long-standing psyker family."

"For the third or fourth awakening of the Vientiane Path, I can arrange potions for you, and I have even prepared some materials for you. But for the second awakening, there is really no way."

The previous fight between Yang Chen and the furnace captain was actually to obtain a relatively rare material.

It can be used in the third or fourth awakening, which can be regarded as laying the foundation for Li Yelai's subsequent awakening.

"The champion captain is quite biased!"

"That's right!"

"The captain is unkind!"

A team of players present immediately pointed at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen grinned and cursed: "None of you have been helped by me!"

In fact, Yang Chen did spend a lot of energy to help Li Yelai. It is even more intentional to let him take on heavier responsibilities.

But this time, Li Yelai could only let him see his face.

Li Yelai nodded gratefully to Yang Chen: "Thank you very much, captain, but this time, even though it's a matter of face, this is my second awakening. Is there a general range?"

"Virtual beast language, or the ability to imitate a certain animal. What's even rarer is to imitate the characteristics of some extraordinary creature. All things, all kinds of things, all kinds of things." Yang Chen thought about it: "Do you remember Captain Furnace? He is just like you, It’s the Path of All Things. The second awakening is to obtain the Mimic Scythe.”

Scythe is a small, extraordinary creature that lives in groups.

It has sharp fangs and claws, and a razor-sharp dorsal fin on its back. Once it rolls, it will turn into a dangerous circle of knives.

This extraordinary creature lives in the disaster restricted area, the Doomsday Forest. It is a native creature among them.

A single sickle may be at the lower end of the food chain, but once the number increases, thousands of sickles will turn their blades at the same time. It can even hunt down disaster beasts.

Captain Furnace gained the ability to mimic this creature at that time.

The limbs can be transformed into weapons at any time, which greatly enhances the melee combat capability.

There is no need to even prepare psychic weapons.

Li Yelai nodded after thinking: "I understand, but in the end it still depends on luck. What should I do now?"

"Sit quietly, meditate, and pass through the well of soul until you feel that you can pass through. When your consciousness reaches the virtual realm, you will succeed. Be careful during the process!" Yang Chen walked in with Li Yelai and others. In a small room full of observation windows in the branch.

The room was not big, but it was filled with various instruments that Li Yelai could not recognize.

Most of these are instruments that stabilize the user.

It also allowed the outside world to know exactly Li Yelai's physical condition.

"We will stay outside to protect you." Yang Chen asked Li Yelai to sit in the instrument and then exited the room.

Appear in the testing room outside the house.

"How long does it take to advance?" Li Yelai sat on the lounge chair in the middle and asked them.

"It's all possible." Yang Chen's voice came from the communicator on the wall of the room: "Some people will finish it in two minutes, and some people will take several days. During this period, we will always take care of you."

"Don't be nervous, don't respond to those calls, and don't be confused by illusions." Cheese reminded him again.

At this time, Cheese saw a frog doll appearing in the observation room at some point.

She was also holding a billboard in her hand.

[Come on, don’t be nervous, I’m here with you ψ(*｀ー)ψ]

‘Dolls also come to guard him? When did this kid become familiar with dolls? ’

Cheese thought to himself, but didn't care and continued to look at Li Yelai. To prevent accidents.

In the room, Li Yelai closed his eyes and entered meditation.

Soon, his consciousness saw the well of his soul.

It was a passage projecting a bright starry sky, and my consciousness was located in the mist-filled space under the passage.

As long as you pass through the wellhead, you can reach under the starry sky and successfully advance.

Li Yelai thought to himself and tried to pass through the passage.

As soon as I entered the passage, I heard many noisy sounds.

Then, pictures appeared in front of his eyes.

Li Yelai saw himself sitting on a magnificent throne, with countless figures kneeling down towards him. It's like giving an order and exerting supreme power.

'That's bullshit, this wouldn't happen in my wildest dreams. ’ Li Yelai complained in his heart.

Then, there were countless gold and silver treasures, and it seemed that you could get everything by just asking.

‘Wow, that’s so fake! ’ Li Yelai sighed in his heart and continued to move forward.

After that, he saw beautiful girls wearing scantily clad clothes and smiling charmingly at him.

It seems that if you hook your fingers, they will take off their clothes.

Li Yelai even saw Cheese and Dolls, Heavy Cavalry and Shadow Liu among them, as well as many girls he had only met once.

‘You’re really not particular about it. I haven’t even experienced torture, so how come I fell into a beauty trap? ’ Li Yelai moved on.

Then, all the pictures disappeared, but he heard a voice.

"Your father cruelly abandoned you, causing your mother to die of illness, and you and your sister depended on each other. Don't you want to know where he is and what his fate is?" The voice was low and elegant: "You can see the answer if you look back. ”

Li Yelai paused. He really had the urge to look back and see where that bastard was now.

But reason made him stop his impulse and move on.

He was already close to the exit of the Well of Souls.

When he passed through the Well of Souls, he saw the starry sky. Some powerful force surged into the body.

He also saw Yang Chen, Cheese, Doll and others who were excited and excited.

Li Yelai smiled and suddenly made a sign.

‘Want to eat? ’

Everyone was surprised that the words "What's wrong, what does it mean[_?]" also appeared on the doll's billboard.

Everyone also looked at Li Yelai with puzzled faces.

Li Yelai sighed: "It's so insidious to do this!"

He knew that Doll had learned sign language before mastering billboard typing.

And if this doll doesn’t know sign language, then she is fake.

All this is false!

So, Li Yelai took a step forward again.

In a daze, he heard the laughter of 'Mr. Shadow'.

Then, all the hallucinations in front of him disappeared, and the real starry sky in the virtual realm appeared.

A force quickly poured into the body, making Li Yelai's physical body and spiritual energy become more powerful.

Li Yelai was successfully promoted. Second awakening!
