Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 602: Truth Transaction and Prophecy
New Light City.

"Ah, there are a lot more subtle glances."

Twelve minutes after leaving the underground base, Rachel sighed as she faced the falling sunlight.

"Oh?"

On the other side, Song Shi was pulling his baseball cap down to cover his face.

Ever since he publicly reminded those companies that claimed to suppress Jiuyu Defense at a press conference a few days ago - of course, the unscrupulous media called this intimidation, the popularity of "Nan Dou" Song Shi has exploded again.

The fan community even raised money to buy giant advertising screens for twelve hours in several commercial plazas in Xinzhuguang City, which played a video clip of Song Shi's theme. Recently, it is really not possible to go out without covering up. You can't just burn all the onlookers to death with a fire.

Of course, some anchors who change their faces at the speed of light just to take advantage of the popularity are a different matter.

As for the companies that were threatened, they showed no sign of backing down and quickly stated that for the sake of the safety of the general public and the most basic public order and morality of society, they would not be afraid and would not compromise with a security contractor that was in cahoots with extreme terrorists.

However, due to various reasons, their deployment work encountered various problems and had to be temporarily suspended - absolutely only temporarily.

"I mean, looking at me."

Rachel half closed her eyes, basking in the sunlight, not feeling the heat at all.

"Passing public cameras, patrol drones flying by, and eyes staring directly at me"

It seemed to be because of the sun, Rachel's voice had a more lazy tone: "You know, my path is [Revelation], and my psychic specialty is premonition. Ever since I took the initiative to reveal my identity, many eyes have been on me. I can feel it."

"I understand. If I don't do this, it would be an unqualified leader's behavior." Rachel sighed, "But every time I personally experience this kind of treatment, it still makes me a little sad."

"At least now it's just simple surveillance, and I won't kill you directly like before." Song Shi bought a cup of iced drinks from a street cart and said with a smile: "Does it make you feel better if you think this way?"

"After all, many times, the 'truth' itself often represents a catastrophe of conspiracy and massacre, which originates from the revelry of ambitious people." Rachel said gently: "So those who pursue records and the truth have been persecuted repeatedly since ancient times. Even our Silent Society has been discontinued several times."

"——But as long as you hold on to the truth and record it, you will be resurrected again. On the scale of history, the current destruction is insignificant, and survival will be born from the future."

Song Shi inserted the straw and said slowly, "Let me guess, what you are going to say next is this?"

"Perhaps, you can get a good score in the clerk's theoretical graduation examination." Rachel did not show any annoyance, but smiled: "Yes, this is the creed of us Silent Ones."

"So did you have a 'premonition' that I was going to say this?" Song Shi bit the straw and looked at the man with interest.

"The spiritual power of [Revelation] is not a panacea, nor is it so magical - at least I can't make it magical."

Rachel sighed, "You are a fourth-ring psychic, and you have been deeply involved in many great undertakings. You represent a great historical weight. Oh, I forgot. According to your habit, you should say 'cause and effect'. The cause and effect involved are too heavy. I cannot use you as the target of my spell."

Song Shi chuckled. ——【Revelation】The birth of the Tao comes from the exploration of the "unknown" and the "unknowable".

However, just as the stereotype of [Dayuan] is the elemental torrent washing the ground, the most well-known and common ability of [Revelation] is still "prophecy".

Premonition, intuition, direct feeling, spiritual perception, sixth sense, divination, cute idea, whim
Due to differences in habits and cultures, these abilities with similar effects have different names, but in essence, they are all an exploration of the future that should be unknowable, so according to today's mainstream name, they are all collectively classified under the category of "prophecy."

As for the reason why Rachel claimed that his psychic expertise was "premonition" rather than "prophecy", it was because he believed that he was still far from reaching the level of "prophecy" -

"Premonition" is an involuntary, sudden and inexplicable feeling, that is, your intuition tells you that something important is going to happen, but you don't know what it is or when it will happen.

"Prophecy" is an affirmative prediction of future events, which has higher certainty and reliability.

In a broad sense, premonition is also a kind of prophecy, but as a member of the Society of Silents and a golden-titled clerk, Rachel obviously follows the classification standard of prophecy in a narrow sense.

"I have already promised you, the Unspoken Society, to participate in the test, so it may seem strange to say this now."

Song Shi put down the shriveled ice cup and threw it to the city cleaning robot in front of him. The latter's eight tentacles danced wildly, accurately captured the ice cup, and stuffed it into the left belly of the green logo.

The young man turned around.

"—So, what can I get?"

"You will receive assistance from the Society of the Silent. Unfortunately, this goes against the principles of silence, and I cannot make such a promise."

A smile slowly appeared on Rachel's face: "But we can give you something else."

"Many times, 'truth' itself represents power. Coincidentally, the Society of the Silent is the place that holds the most truth in the entire Terra."

"Three Sages System, have you heard of this name? And what does it mean?"

Rachel said, and shook her head again: "You may not know this a month ago, but after getting the loom, I think you already know this. I can tell you frankly that the Silent Society can give you the 'truth' like this, the truth you want or don't want."

"For example, I've read your resume. You've never been to the Vampstar Empire, but I think you definitely know something about the situation there. Aren't you curious? Why did the people of the Empire spend thousands of years to forge today's fanatical beliefs? Even if it led to consequences such as 'negative entities', they still have no intention of stopping."

“These so-called truths are attractive, but they are not enough.”

Song Shi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled as well.

It was not a gentle, polite smile like Rachel's, but a flat, unquestionable smile.

"Because even if you didn't tell me, I could still get it myself."
