Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 81 Whirlpool
Following Maren, Song Shi walked into his residence.

simple.

This is the first impression the entire residence gives.

This is a two-bedroom apartment. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a small living room with only a long metal table. On the other side, there is a small refrigerator, an old-style stove, and some sundries.

On both sides of the living room are a bedroom and a bathroom. The former can only accommodate a bed and a counter, while the latter is a narrow square column space that can barely accommodate one person. The equipment and furniture in the entire residence are quite old, but they have obviously been wiped carefully, so they are very clean.

The two men walked into the room, each pulled over a stool and sat down, facing each other.

But no one spoke first, and the living room fell into inexplicable silence for a while.

Seeing this, Song Shi’s thoughts couldn’t help but fall into memories.

——【Sword of Four Principles】.

With "attack", "defense", "reversal" and "combination" as the four basic forms, it comes from the Vanpusta Empire, one of the most widely spread sword techniques of the imperial state religion.

In theory, for every member of the state religion - whether he is an armed priest, a church knight, or something else, [Sword of the Four Systems] is one of their compulsory introductory courses.

Although most people will turn to learn more suitable things according to their positions and preferences after completing the study of [Sword of Four Systems], such as firearms operation, etc., this does not mean that [Sword of Four Systems] is useless and is just an obsolete item of the new era.

Because apart from the attribute of "close combat", [Sword of Four Elements] is a serious set of "psychic swordsmanship"!
In order to ensure that they kill their enemies who are also high-level psychics, psychics, especially high-level psychics, often choose close combat and fight to the death with their weapons - because except for a few things like "space-based weapons", most gunfire either cannot hit them or can no longer cause effective damage to them.

Only psychic skills or close combat can ensure sufficient lethality and make it difficult for the opponent to escape.

Only psychics can truly unleash the power of the [Sword of Four Elements] and use various advanced sword styles involving psychic powers.

Therefore, the Vampsta Empire, which was founded on psychic power, would devote all its efforts to create a series of "psychic secrets" represented by the [Sword of Four Systems].

[Sword of Four Systems] is the best among them. It is indeed basic, but its various advancements are not basic - with thousands of years of accumulation of the Vampsta Empire, it has extremely high compatibility and expandability.

Even Song Shi also knows some of the Four Swords.

As a psychic at the peak of the fourth ring, he certainly knows this so-called "psychic secret", but it is not for a specific object, but through years of fighting and perception, learning and witnessing other psychic secrets, as well as his own talents, he has summarized and polished this "psychic secret" that is only suitable for himself.

But no name.

He had originally planned to reorganize this "psychic secret" after being promoted to the fifth ring, carefully give it a name, and see if he could find a few people who were optimistic about it to pass it on as the "inheritance of Nandou Songshi" - but before he could complete it, he was reborn in Palose.

But seriously speaking, most of the "psychic secrets" can only be truly utilized in the second ring. In the first ring, at best, you can use some "meditation methods" to assist daily practice, and anything else is of little use.

And to be honest, the power of a psychic lies in his "psychic skills", and the priority of "psychic secrets" is not as high as the former.

Even the prerequisite for using many "psychic secrets" is to possess the corresponding "psychic skills".

To a certain extent, the so-called "psychic secrets" are the development and use methods of corresponding "psychic skills" evolved based on the summary and refinement of successive holders.

--but.

In the abandoned building not long ago, Song Shi realized that the reason why the other party seemed to know the "Sword of Four Systems" was not because he had learned part of it.

It's simply a matter of experience.

When the Vampsta Empire was chasing him, he killed and injured too many people who knew the Four Swords of Control. He was really too familiar with them.

".I reject."

At some point, Maren suddenly spoke.

He raised his head, expressionless, and repeated: "I refuse. I will not do anything for you."

"No reason?"

Song Shi raised his eyebrows: "A man from the Vampsta Empire hiding in Palose, and a member of the state religion who knows the 'Sword of the Four Systems' and has a fairly high level of attainment. I thought you were happy to see the corporate alliance in trouble."

"Although your attention has been on the confrontation with the Pan-Eastern Continental Federation, haven't you also been eyeing the territory of the Corporate Alliance?"

Maren was silent for a moment.

He said: "I have nothing to do with the empire anymore. If you or you want to do something, you have found the wrong person." - Nothing to do?

Song Shi was a little surprised. Betrayal? Escape? Or something else? With the strictness of the Empire's state religion, how could it be allowed?
But then, Maren's voice rang out again.

He stared at Song Shi's mask closely, and his tone became more serious: "——Also, don't do anything unnecessary."

The middle-aged man spoke each word carefully: "Don't set your sights on those children, or you will regret it."

"—'make plans'?"

Maren suddenly noticed that the other party's tone suddenly changed.

"I'm not trying to attract their attention right now." Song Shi said calmly, "I was at the scene of what happened just now. How do you plan to make those people regret it?"

Hearing this, Maren was shocked.

He subconsciously recalled the abandoned building not long ago, and finally remembered some details that seemed a little wrong at that time - had he become so slack after all these years?
But before I could recall anything, I heard the other person speak again.

"Even if we don't talk about them, how are you going to solve the problem of the real estate developer buying the welfare home?"

".I'll find a way. This is none of your business."

Maren said solemnly.

But he couldn't help feeling a little bitter in his heart.

It's not just the real estate developer, but also the person in front of him who is somehow very familiar with the "Sword of Four Systems" but is not from the Empire - the second conclusion is not difficult to draw, because if it is a member of the Empire's state religion, he would probably be preparing to sentence him.

After hiding for so many years, is it still impossible to escape?
"I"

Just as Maren was considering and preparing to say something else, the other party suddenly stood up.

"Okay, I see."

Song Shi popped out a magnetic card and said calmly, "There are 30,000 credit points and a contact number inside - don't think too much, this is not a 'repaying a favor' or a 'threat'. The money is for the White Porcelain Welfare Home, and the contact number is up to you. It doesn't matter if you just throw it away."

After saying that, Song Shi turned around without hesitation and walked out the door.

Just as he was about to step out the door, he paused.

"I won't do anything like 'Oh sorry I accidentally revealed your identity'."

"But you should understand that nothing can be hidden for a lifetime... Sometimes just 'existence' itself will draw you in and bring about a vortex."

Maren sat in silence, looking at the magnetic card on the table.

"call--"

Pushing open the door, Song Shi casually threw the Steel Crow onto the sofa.

Just as I was about to enter the bathroom to begin today's spiritual practice, a communication suddenly sounded.

It's an unsigned link.

I clicked on it and about four or five seconds later, the voice of the pearl bird came from the other end of the phone.

"Nandou, do you have time? Come to Qianxing City."

"Oh?"

Pearl Bird's tone was surprisingly serious.

"We know what the Three-Phase Base Plan is."

I highly recommend this book! The setting is very trendy and interesting, and the first volume is very complete, enough to be called an excellent work! If you like "cyberpunk", then this book basically has the elements you want to see——
