Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 66 Doll
——I haven’t finished speaking yet!

"Carmen" thought subconsciously, but as soon as this thought arose, it turned into an intense sense of horror.

There is no way to avoid it, it’s too late!
"Carmen" cursed inwardly. When she opened her mouth just now, she used the psychic skill "Affinity" to enhance her language, intending to delay some time. However, the other party ignored the "Affinity" and attacked directly!
There is no time to hesitate.

A ruthless look flashed in "Carmen's" eyes. She twisted her body forcefully and raised her left arm to block the single-molecule knife.

Then, with a clear "clang" sound, like a hot knife into butter, this valuable alloy prosthesis broke into two pieces! Oil and cooling sprayed out, and various components burst out!
Almost at the same time as he drew his sword and slashed, Song Shi raised his voice.

"——He is no longer 'Carmen'! What we have before us is a two-ring 'consensus'! Now Carmen has become a 'puppet' controlled by the other party!"

The moment Carmen's appearance began to change, feeling the sudden burst of spiritual energy from her, Song Shi realized what was happening.

[Consensus] Before the third ring, psychics on the path will basically only choose one path between "spiritual" and "material", and then configure psychic skills. The former is like mind reading, emotional perception, etc., while the latter is telekinesis, distorting reality, etc. - with a limited number of psychic skills, if they want to take both paths in the early stage, they will only be proficient in neither, or weak and useless.

And now, it is obvious that "Carmen" has been forcibly taken over in consciousness and body by a consensus that possesses psychic skills such as "consciousness usurpation" and "puppet manipulation"!
——No, it’s more than that.

I'm afraid that "Carmen" has long been influenced and controlled by the other party. The other party made Carmen think that everything was her own choice, but the whole betrayal was a script planned by her! Even Carmen's own memory is likely to be unreliable!

Thinking of what the other party said about "Jade Pharmaceutical" and "fishing out"——

[Quemu! Charge! Three shuttles are coming towards you! They carry the armed forces of Jade Pharmaceuticals! Estimated time is three minutes! ]

"Tsk! Is there really a problem? You didn't ambush the scene directly because you were afraid of alerting the enemy in advance?"

Hearing the urgent call of "Twinkle Star" in the human cochlea, Harold immediately responded: "Twinkle Star! Didn't we have preparations before we came? Our plan--"

[It has been activated! The nearby cameras have been taken over and cleared! Next, I will silence the wide-area communications in your area and try to interfere with the shuttle! You will evacuate according to the original plan! ]

"and many more--"

[You can let him go with you! Retreat first! ]

“——Then there’s no problem!”

Everything happens in a flash.

When Harold suddenly pulled out his two guns, one long and one short, he just happened to see the mercenary cutting off Carmen's left arm.

"Hmph! Want to leave?"

At the cost of an arm, "Carmen" forcibly avoided the sharp edge and retreated violently, but laughed wildly: "Hahaha! 'Anti-company'?!"

By tampering with Carmen's memory, the gland pump secretly implanted in her body has already started to operate, injecting the hidden "Swamp Monster" biological agent into the blood vessels and organs.

In just four more breaths, the "Swamp Monster" will be able to complete the catalysis of this "puppet", causing large-scale muscle canceration and proliferation, enhanced self-healing ability, and directed gene mutation - this is the technology that Jade Pharmaceuticals is proud of, and it is an authentic biological weapon.

Even the few shortcomings of "reduced sanity" and "loss of control" can be perfectly compensated by myself as a second-ring consensus.

One forty thousand credit points.

Perfect.

This moment.

"——You all, stay here!"

Looking at the mercenary in front of him, "Carmen" raised his remaining right hand with a grim smile, and the light of psychic energy began to flash.

Psionic Skills: [Dizzy]!
But a roar of flames forcibly interrupted the spiritual energy that was about to burst out!
"Attention! Emerald Pharmaceuticals' armed forces are heading this way!"

It seemed that the bullet had clearly grazed Carmen's waist, but there was no large tear as imagined, only a shallow one.

The complex scarlet muscle bundles multiplied at a speed visible to the naked eye, entangled "Carmen's" body, and the whole person began to expand suddenly. In the next moment, the exposed outer layer quickly solidified and hardened, forming a layer of gray chitinous scales, and from the gaps in the scales, dark green thick mucus oozed out, turning into a "fluid skin care" that covered the whole body.

Bloated, disgusting, yet pure violence.

There was another violent gunshot as the special alloy bullet hit the side of "Carmen" and directly created a huge hole - but countless granulations at the hole quickly squirmed and stretched out, entangled and linked together, trying to heal the wound.

The scales and mucus greatly reduced the bullet's lethality, changing its effect from "smashing the body" to simply "penetrating". This kind of penetrating wound looks horrifying, but for the "Swamp Monster"'s enhanced self-healing ability, it is bearable.

With the impact of the bullet, "Carmen" exploded backwards again. At the same time, one of his eyes suddenly lit up in the gap of his head which was wrapped and connected by countless red and white muscle bundles!
Psionic Skills: [Dizzy]!
This time there was no obstruction, and the invisible ripples swept around. Even though he was using a remote-controlled "puppet" to indirectly cast the spell, the effect was somewhat reduced, but it was still enough to stun the two ordinary people for a breath.

As long as we hold on until the "Swamp Monster" is fully catalyzed and use it to hold them back, our company's armed forces will be responsible for the cleanup!
"Concentrate your mind and resist! It's the psychic skill of 'Consensus'!"

Harold's head shook violently. He resisted the dizziness and squeezed the trigger tightly, shouting, "Be careful! He has been injected with the Swamp Monster! It will be troublesome once his body mutates and strengthens! Buy me some time! I'll--"

But the next moment, Song Shi's voice suddenly rang out. "——It doesn't take that long!"

In less than a second, the "Forging Flame" ignited within his body and rushed into his brain, burning away the dizziness.

Then, the flames surged into his limbs and bones, and then converged into his body, and his whole body turned into "firewood" and burned again.

Then, he stepped forward and slashed with his sword!

First hit.

"Such a short stun time? Are you a psyker?!"

Feeling the completely different and increasingly powerful body, "Carmen" used her psychic power to forcibly take control of her body, which was distorted and out of control. She looked at the opponent who was coming to chop her again, and for the first time she stopped and advanced instead of retreating! She punched the opponent's head with a whistling punch!

The Steel Crow collided with the muscular and deformed arm - the former sank an inch and came to a standstill, making a dull metallic sound.

"——But it's still a death wish!"

Seeing this, "Carmen" couldn't help laughing wildly.

"Ha! I—"

But before he could utter a word, Steel Crow drew his blade and struck again.

--act recklessly!
"Carmen" tried to grab the opponent's single-molecule knife, but Steel Crow flicked and turned, avoiding the five fingers that passed by, and instead took advantage of the situation to cut several huge gaps in the flesh.

It doesn't matter! With the huge vitality of this body! It doesn't matter even if I take ten more hits!

Only when I seize the opportunity and release my psychic skills, then -

Immediately following, a nearly continuous stream of cold light engulfed Carmen completely.

Song Shi disappeared without a trace, leaving only a blurry shadow that kept flickering!

And in the next blink of an eye.

Everything came to an abrupt end.

Two breaths, nineteen slashes.

"Uh you."

"Carmen" looked a little confused.

He first looked at Song Shi, then at himself - this body that was already more than two meters tall trembled, and then large chunks of flesh and blood peeled off and slid off with a splash, and large pools of mixed liquid flowed down, accumulating into a large pool on the ground, bringing with it a pungent smell.

He wanted to do something, but his whole body had lost the ability to move.

"A second-ring consensus is to take the 'spiritual' route first."

Song Shi exhaled a long breath of burning gas, first shook off the mucus and plasma on the steel crow, and then looked at the other party: "Why don't you do something else? You have to learn 'transcendence' to fight in close combat?"

"Ah, that's not right." But then, Song Shi shook his head again and said calmly: "Now even 'Transcendence' is equipped with several guns and heavy artillery. You are really a bit weird."

"you you--"

Hearing this, "Carmen" roared angrily, but her whole body staggered and she fell to half-kneel.

"The first ring? The second ring? Which path are you on?!"

Carmen's body was about to collapse completely. He barely opened his eyes and stared at the mercenary. Perhaps it was the severe pain from the various wounds all over his body, his tone suddenly became extremely manic:

"And what you just said! Ordinary wild psykers can't possibly know! Which side are you on? Are you sure you want to stand with the Enlightened One? Are you sure you want to be the enemy of us, Emerald Pharmaceuticals?!"

The next moment, "Carmen" discovered that the other party slowly revealed a strange look and looked at her for a few seconds.

Then a cold light flashed, and his entire vision went completely dark.

Just before the head hit the ground, "Carmen" heard the last words.

"you guess?"
