Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 84 Psionic Skills: Embers

"You actually have this?"

Hearing the words of the pearl bird, Song Shi couldn't help but be a little surprised.

It's not anything else.

The so-called "zero-element crystals" can be seen as a concrete solidification of "psychic energy". After a series of extremely complex evolutions, "zero-element crystals" may be generated in nature, or they can be manufactured by high-level psychics themselves. Up to now, zero-element crystals cannot be artificially synthesized by non-psychics.

Even though twenty years later in the previous life, someone announced the successful synthesis of "zero element crystal", it was a product that could only exist for a short time in a high-precision laboratory environment and was more like an "accidental" product.

But because of this, [Zero Element Crystal] can act as a medium for "psychic energy".

Whether it is creating a "psychic creation" or "directly serving as a spellcasting resource", most mortal objects cannot carry psychic energy, so zero-element crystals must be added - psychics make a copy of their "psychic skills" and seal them in zero-element crystals as a legacy, which is also the most common use.

Psychics can directly use this zero-element crystal to learn "psychic skills", which is equivalent to a shortcut.

Of course, this practice of sealing up "psychic skills" is harmful to psychics. At the very least, this "psychic skill" will enter a "cooling-off period" of varying lengths, or even disappear directly. Usually only dying psychics or certain large forces have stable inheritance.

As for the psychic skill [Ashes].

This is a second-level psychic skill, and the prerequisite for its use is the great source of power, fire.

It has two effects. One is that it makes the psychic's flame sticky, and once it is contaminated it is difficult to dispel. In a sense, it is a more advanced psychic skill than the [Tarsal Fire] with a similar effect.

But that's not the point.

Its core effect is actually "erosion". For psykers who possess this psychic skill, their flames will quickly erode matter and decompose it into ash-like dust when it touches matter - this is also the origin of the name [Embers].

Different from [Forging Flame] which is a sustainable enhancement of "forging things", [Amber] is a pure offensive ability that "turns into embers".

Even if it is only a second-level psychic, with [Amber], he can burn a heavy explosion-proof shield to ashes in a breath.

After a [Great Source] psychic is promoted to the second ring, he can release the "Great Source Power" remotely. Combined with the "erosion" and "adhesion" properties of [Amber], the holder can directly transform into a humanoid white phosphorus bomb projector - and [Amber] will be even more terrifying than a white phosphorus bomb.

——This is an absolutely superior psychic skill.

Even though the value of [Amber] is lower than that of cornerstone abilities like [Forging Flame] because it is purely an offensive ability, there is no doubt that the two are absolutely psychic skills of the same level.

Precious.

In the previous life, I had specifically inquired about the rituals and information of [Ashes] and was tempted, but later due to a series of reasons, I gave up [Ashes] and chose other psychic skills for attack.

Song Shi felt a little weird.

He really didn't expect that he would be so close to [Ashes] at this moment - on the other hand, this psychic skill that is specially adapted to the great source power of fire happened to be in the hands of Parose the Enlightener?

"This is not something we collected, this is the legacy of the second commander."

As if guessing what the other party was thinking, Zhuniao raised a finger: "I have browsed the records. At that time, the second commander accidentally obtained this zero-element crystal of "Ember". He originally planned to leave it to a member - that member is also a first-level [Great Source] psychic like you, and the Great Source Power he chose is fire."

"They have all died?"

"Dempsey Ijie was killed in an ambush during a raid on a group of organ dealers due to a miscalculation of the timing."

Zhuniao said: "Later, among the members of Palose's Enlighteners, this Zero Element Crystal has never been found to be a suitable candidate, so it has been kept until now."

"Now that you have made your decision, join us in stopping Jade Pharmaceuticals. We will not be stingy. Besides, 'items' are valuable only when they are used by 'people'."

"But, Nandou, judging from your expression, you probably understand how precious Embers are." The man paused, and his tone became serious: "It is risky for psychics to master Psychic Skills. I don't need to explain this."

"According to the information from the Enlightened One, Embers is indeed powerful, but the requirements to control it are equally high. There are many Great Source psychics in history who have failed in their attempts to forcibly control Embers and were burned to ashes instead. You must consider this clearly, otherwise..." The Pearl Bird stopped talking.

Even with the "anonymity masking" service, the faces of the two people present were blurred, but at this moment, he suddenly felt for no reason that the expression of the person in front of him was in a very subtle state.

Just like, a person suddenly hears something "unexpected", and then has a subtle sense of dislocation?
".Harnessing the risks of 'psychic arts'."

The required requirements, high?
After I obtained the name [Nan Dou] as a free bounty hunter in my previous life, how long has it been since I heard someone seriously warn me about such things?
"——Don't worry."

"Zhu Niao, I can only tell you that you don't have to worry about all the problems regarding 'psychic power'."

Song Shi sighed in his heart and stood up: "When are you going to take action against 'Kland'?"

"Four days later."

Hearing this, Zhuniao suppressed his confusion, stood up, and nodded: "I will send you a more detailed plan when it is ready."

"See you in four days, then."

"Well, see you in four days."

The entire room is in a uniform, almost unpleasantly cold grey tone.

Although there is no exposed lighting equipment, the entire space is still as bright as day.

"You still don't want to say it?"

At the innermost part of the room was a metal chair embedded directly into the ground, with a young man sitting on it. At this moment, his limbs were tied to the chair, and all the implants in his body had pop-up windows saying "temporarily unavailable".

Gabey looked indifferent as he looked at the man in front of him.

His voice was as flat as his expression: "My patience is limited."

Gabe's pupils lit up, and then a holographic projection rose silently from the room.

As the data stream washed away, one photo after another emerged on the projection, until finally, it stopped at one of them - in a park somewhere, a middle-aged man with a smile on his face stood by the bridge, and next to him was a young man in sportswear.

The latter is the person sitting in the restraint chair in front of him.

When the young man saw this photo, his pupils shrank instantly.

"Gary Fijer, an ordinary employee of the Nande Trade Network, and your father."

Gabey read the file: "And now, you are suspected of twelve crimes including illegal possession of weapons, murder, property destruction, and joining an armed anti-corporate organization-"

"You've already killed my mother! Now you want to threaten me with my father?!"

After hearing the second sentence, the young man struggled violently and yelled, "If you hadn't caused the explosion in the industrial zone, how could my mother have died? You——"

"You have one last chance."

Gabeyi's expression remained calm.

He raised his index finger slightly, and pointed to the picture of "Gary Figger" as the young man's expression changed again.

"Now, tell me everything you know."

"Speak out, you still have a chance to make up for the damage you have caused. Think about your father and don't let things get to the point of no return."
