Become Aquaman from Black Robe

Kevin's hand was pointed at Kate.

The smile on Kate's face froze and gradually disappeared. She stared at Kevin's palm, feeling quite uneasy.

"...Mr. Deep Sea, why...why do you suddenly want me to do this?"

Kate didn't understand Kevin's request, because in Kate's opinion, the other person didn't seem to like her very much.

Even though Kevin didn't come to the woods much during this period, Kate could still sense that the superhero of the Seven had been trying to distance himself from her, consciously or unconsciously.

That's a mild way of putting it.

To put it bluntly, this Mr. Deep Sea of ​​the Seven is afraid of Kate’s ‘compulsive power’.

Kate recognizes this and keeps her distance from Kevin in the woods.

But today, the other party took the initiative to reach out and let Kate see his thoughts.

This is not normal.

This was unusual, at least from Kate's perspective.

"It's just an experiment."

Kevin explained calmly.

But this explanation obviously failed to convince Kate.

"...What experiment?"

"Don't worry about so much for now. Let's try and see if you can hear my thoughts."

Kevin smiled and shook his hand at Kate.

Leaving the bar to meet Kate and trying to get her mind read was not Kevin's whim.

It's because Kevin suddenly thought that he would use Kate in many of the next things.

If the other party's control ability is similar to that of Professor Betrayed.

But the premise is that Kevin himself must be resistant to Kate's ability.

So Kevin thought of the magic pattern system in his skill tree system.

Nearly two months have passed since Kama Taj returned to the world of black robes.

Even though Kevin didn't participate much in the plot, because the plot itself was significantly changed by Kevin, and there was also a magically modified mission system for prompts, in the past two months, Kevin had piecemeal Broken also gained eight skill points.

In addition to the skill points originally obtained in Kama Taj, a total of nine skill points were added to the magic pattern system by Kevin.

The first skill of the magic pattern system was directly raised to level three, and the three extended skills of the first skill were raised to level two respectively.

The skill point consumption of active skills only requires a few skill points for levels one, two, and three. Kevin's remaining skill points are just enough to light up these skills.

The first skill of the magic pattern system is [Magic Pattern·Addition], a fairly simple skill that creates magic patterns and attaches them to objects to enhance the attack power of the object.

A bit like ‘enchantment’.

The three extended skills of [Magic Pattern·Additional] are [Additional (Power)], [Additional (Defense)] and [Additional (Life)].

The three active skills are easy to understand. One is to increase the attack power of the object, and the other is to increase the defense power of the object.

The last one is to increase health.

The additional duration is limited and requires Kevin's energy.

Although there is no cooldown limit, Kevin's own energy reserve limits the use of these skills.

Of course, these are not important. Anyway, as long as his physique continues to improve, Kevin will have plenty of energy, and when the [Additional] level increases, the energy consumed will also decrease.

What Kevin really cares about is the changes brought about by the extended skill [Additional (Defense)].

After a short test, Kevin found that the defense increased by [Additional (Defense)] was comprehensive.

Not only the physical defense, but also the mental defense will be increased.

In other words, after adding magic patterns to the surface of his skin, Kevin has the power to defend against those with psychic abilities.

In order to test this power, before Kevin came to Kate, he also went to find the psychic "Mezmo" as a passerby and asked him to read his own voice.

It turned out that with the magic pattern attached, it was difficult for Metzmer, a psychic, to hear Kevin's inner voice.

In addition, during this period, Kevin gained some insights from studying those magic books, and learned a unique set of meditation methods to relax the mind, which can free the mind at critical moments.

There is also the passive skill [Heart of the Deep Sea], which seems to have some means of protecting psychic abilities.

The combination of multiple factors gave Kevin the confidence to face Kate and let Kate try to listen to her inner thoughts.

Kate's current ability has been weakened due to long-term medication, and she cannot perform one-tenth of what she was in her prime.

Facing Kevin, who can free his mind and add magic patterns to himself, there is a high probability that he will not be able to hear Kevin's inner voice.

Even if he can hear it, Kevin can prevent Kate from capturing his true thoughts.

All in all, Kevin is not worried that he will be controlled by the other party, or that the other party will know his identity as a time traveler.

Kevin is still waiting for Kate to shake his hand.

Looking at the hand that Kevin handed over, Kate hesitated for a while before taking off the glove and slowly stretched it towards Kevin.

In fact, as long as she doesn't use her 'coercive power' and just listens to other people's inner voices, Kate is not very resistant.

Because when she was at Indira's house, Indira would sometimes let Kate listen to her inner thoughts to reassure Kate.

The main reason why he hesitates when faced with Kevin's request is because Kevin doesn't like doing it.

But now that Kevin is the one requesting it, Kate won't have any psychological burden.

Kate's slender hand stretched out towards Kevin, and bit by bit touched the big hand with the palm upward.

A few seconds passed like this, and finally, Kate's hand fell on Kevin's palm.

She immediately closed her eyes and used her ability to listen to Kevin's inner thoughts.

But she had only closed her eyes for two seconds when she suddenly opened them and asked in disbelief:

"how did you do that?!"

"Can't hear that, right?"

"Yes...but...but this is impossible...you have no psychic ability, this..."

Kate didn't understand that even if her abilities were suppressed to a certain extent due to taking medicine, she could at least hear what that person was saying to ordinary people and superhumans without psychic protection.

If the metahuman's mind is not at all defensive, she can even force that person to do something she commands.

Kate's 'compulsive power' is so powerful. In the black robe world where there is not much psychic ability, as long as she can contact others, she can control everything about that person.

As a result, Kate's abilities now fail in front of Kevin.

She couldn't hear the voice in the other person's heart. As for whether she could control the other person... Kate thought it was highly unlikely.

Now Kate's ability has been greatly weakened after taking drugs for a long time.

Originally, she could easily order someone to do certain things, but now Kate only needs to use this ability on others twice, and she feels her head hurt, the kind of pain that makes her want to explode.

This is still facing ordinary people who don't have much resistance.

Kevin is resistant to Kate's abilities. If Kate forcibly orders him, Kate feels that even if he succeeds, the blood vessels in her head may burst.

"Can't you hear me?"

Kevin asked again.

Kate nodded slightly, looking at Kevin with curiosity.

After being surprised, she began to wonder how Kevin did all this, and asked the same question again.

"It's... you... how did you do it?"

"My ability has improved a little bit, that's about it. Look, isn't there a theory that the ability to control people's thoughts is essentially to control the fluid in the head? And I happen to have the ability to control water flow, so a little bit After thinking about it, I came up with this defense method.”

Kevin was talking nonsense seriously, even bringing out unproven theories from the anime.

But Kate seemed to believe it. Her lovely eyes suddenly widened and she asked in disbelief:

"That is to say...the ability to read and control minds is essentially a branch of the ability to operate water flow?"

"Um... almost? But it's not proven. At least I can't control other people's thoughts in this way."

Kevin didn't expect that Kate would start to believe this statement. With a very lack of theoretical knowledge, he could only reluctantly agree.

Controlling thoughts by controlling the flow of blood, brain fluid, and spinal cord in other people's bodies. Even if it could be done, the degree of control over the water flow would have to be so exquisite that it would be outrageous.

Anyway, Kevin at this stage definitely can't do it.

If you force yourself to do it like this, you might end up blowing someone else's head off.

Yes, just like Newman.

"That's pretty awesome!"

Kate looked at Kevin with complicated eyes.

She thought, if everyone in her family had abilities like Kevin, then the tragedy in her family would not have happened, and her brother would not be unable to find him until now.

Kevin never thought that Kate would have such thoughts.

He came here to get close to Kate today mainly to get closer to Kate, hoping that one day the other party would do things according to his wishes.

So far, the effect is pretty good.

After chatting with Kate and confirming that his defensive enchantment... additional abilities could indeed defend against Kate's level of psychic abilities, Kevin changed the subject and asked naturally:

"Okay, let's stop talking here. Isn't Indira back yet?"

"...She has a lecture today and said she would be back later."

"Then you want to go back alone later?"

"Um."

"I'll give it to you. Even if you are a super human, you are still a girl. It is very dangerous to walk alone at night."

Kevin said with a smile.

He is still trying to get closer to Kate.

Although Kevin has been alienating the girl with mind control before, his sudden closeness may make Kate wary of him.

But Kevin also has his own advantages.

His advantage is that he cannot read his mind and cannot be controlled by Kate's abilities.

Now in Kate's heart, Kevin must be that very special person, and when faced with this special person, Kate may have some different ideas from others.

Kevin thought so, and felt that things should develop as he thought.

But what Kevin didn't expect was that things developed too smoothly, or simply went too smoothly.

Because just two days after Kevin sent Kate back, Indira took Kate for a visit.

And please ask Kevin:

"Kate will live with you from now on. Don't look at me like that. This is Kate's own request. She said that maybe she can feel more comfortable living here."

Indira said.

Kevin: "?"
