Death Benefit

The other party practiced very hard, even in a desperate manner, but his spiritual power level was still barely enough to join the combat team of the Countermeasures Department, and he ranked last.

 At this point, no matter how hard he tried, it was of no use.

Furthermore, compared to others, he lacks one ultimate move to summon general souls, and is much weaker in strength.

If the other party had not relied on special channels to complete some extremely difficult tasks, and to calm the hearts of those who had not awakened their souls in the world, the other party would not even have appeared in the combat team.

At this time, this mixed-race boy was silently practicing his spiritual power on the training ground.

In terms of combat and shooting abilities alone, he is at the top of the combat team, and can even claim to be number one.

 But spiritual power is his biggest shortcoming, which makes his combat effectiveness lower than others.

He seemed to sense something at this time. He looked up and looked at Taoist Gourd, with strong unwillingness in his eyes.

Especially when his eyes glanced at Lotta next to him, his unwillingness became a bit greener.

 Zhimu Shaoai.

For the captain of their action team, the young man naturally had a good impression of Luo Ta, who had been forced to take him in as a man without a soul under pressure.

 And as we get along with each other on a daily basis in the team, this goodwill is gradually sprouting.

  Unfortunately, with the arrival of Taoist Calabash, everything seems to have changed.

 They were defeated in one move.

 The captain, whom he admired, also became the so-called receptionist at the request of the other party with malicious intentions.

 Specially requesting a beautiful woman to be the receptionist seems to involve sensuality as long as you think about it.

 However, what can he do no matter how unwilling he is? He is weak and has almost no right to speak.

He didn't even have the courage to react to his superiors. He could only watch all this and comfort himself that nothing bad happened.

“After all, the other party is an alien. It’s normal for aliens to have different aesthetics from us humans.”

"Besides, I only have a good impression of it, and I have no definite relationship with it. What qualifications do I have to prevent this from happening?"

With this thought in mind, the young turtle retreated into his own protective shell - training hard to not care about the opinions of outsiders.

Taoist Calabash glanced at the other party specifically, as if he was observing something interesting.

The other person’s thoughts are so strong that their brain waves are particularly dazzling.

As the myth of Thunder, although he intentionally guided the growth direction of Thunder toward the mysterious side, he did not completely let go of the electromagnetic force and other directions.

This boy is a little special, but his personality is a little weird.

 Seems to be strong, but is actually weak.

 When I exercise, I hurt myself, and work harder than anyone else, but when faced with some of the responsibilities that I should bear, I seem very hesitant.

 “This can’t be an M-type protagonist of a sadistic novel, right?” Hulu Taoist thought.

 But I don’t care too much, and I’m even a little excited.

If the other party is the protagonist, then Lotta seems to be the heroine.

　　The cat-eared heroine has special power inside her body and has an unknown and cruel fate.

The protagonist wants to save the other person, but can only watch her sink into her fate little by little, struggling constantly, but unable to help her.

This kind of plot is quite interesting when I think about it.

Of course, the Hulu Taoist at this stage is just thinking about it.

However, Lu Bai's many incarnations actually have a long-term mission, which is to use their essence as Lu Bai's incarnations to give birth to more children, thereby promoting the prosperity of the true self.

 There is nothing easier than Lu Bai's descendants to follow the path of the true self.

 They are born with most of the conditions for the true self.

 So ideas may directly evolve into reality.

"So the power in your body is the so-called general soul?" Taoist Calabash asked Luota after observing for a short time.

“…Well, yes, it’s Jiang Hun.” Luo Ta was stunned for a moment and replied immediately.

 Obviously, she seemed slightly guilty.

From this point of view, the thing inside her body is most likely not the soul, but something else.

Taoist Calabash did not expose the other party, but continued: "It seems that you have some troubles when you embark on the path of the true self."

At this time, it seemed that some instructions were transmitted to Rota through unknown channels, and she immediately asked: "Why is this?"

Although Hulu Taoist gave them some basic information on the True Self, it only contained some basic preparations for practicing the True Self, and did not fully explain the concept and core of the True Self.

The Countermeasures Department and even the International United Nations believe that it is necessary to figure out what this true way is, in order to know why the Calabash Taoists are here and whether they have the ability to get rid of the other party's hostage.

“What do you think controls all human actions?” Taoist Calabash asked Lota.

 And Lothar immediately gave the answer: "Self-mind."

"Wrong." Taoist Hulu also immediately denied it.

“The so-called self-mind is composed of many factors, such as desires, morality, body hormones, instincts, habits, external environment, etc.”

“All your actions are actually affected by these things, and you have developed a coping mechanism.”

“In the eyes of a strong enough person, there is no difference between the essence and the knee-jerk reaction.”

"It's all about pressing and moving." As he said this, a flash of lightning flashed across Taoist Calabash's body, and Lotta also felt an unprecedented impulse for a moment. She just felt that the person in front of her was so exciting.

Hands raised unconsciously, he was about to throw himself into the other person's arms, and then greedily asked for the other person's breath.

However, that feeling quickly faded, and Lotta's face turned red. He quickly put his hand down and held the handle of his dagger, with an incredible light shining in his eyes.

"How is it?" The voice of Taoist Calabash came later: "The thoughts at that moment did come from your heart. At least at that moment, you really fell in love with me and had the desire to communicate with me. idea."

“But can you still say that everything about you is controlled by your own mind?”

“In other words, is there something else above my own soul that dominates all of this?”

 “What is that?” Lotta mobilized her spiritual power with some fear, suppressed her body’s reaction, calmed down her blush, and then asked.

 “Original, or first driving force.”

“This is your existence, the most primitive existence, the most primitive motivation, and the source of all your current actions.”

"And the original came from the hands of some beings whose names you cannot directly tell."

"Once the original is mobilized, you will lose all motivation, collapse to the ground, and die completely." "Whatever changes the original makes, your behavior will also change accordingly, without even knowing it."

“That’s not the same as a puppet.” Lotta said in disbelief.

“It’s just a puppet.” Taoist Calabash confirmed the answer.

“For those beings, all living beings are just motes that make up the world, and the motes just need to float according to their will.”

 Hulu Taoist's words were extremely cruel.

However, Lotta also reacted later and asked with a little curiosity: "Then what does this have to do with the way of the true self?"

“The way to the true self is the way that allows all sentient beings to get rid of their original state, be free from any external influence, and be able to truly be themselves.”

“That’s why the great man who created the way to the true self is called the Lord of all living beings.”

 Hearing the name of the Lord of All Living Beings again, everyone's mood became slightly different.

 I just feel that if things are really like what Taoist Hulu said, then the Lord of All Living Beings may really have some qualifications to be called such a person.

Of course, at this time, they still remained skeptical about Taoist Gourd's statement.

 After all, this statement is too shocking.

 Because once you believe this statement, life seems to have no meaning.

 At that time, we can only seek help from the true self.

 But who knows whether the way to the true self is a trap set by the so-called Lord of all living beings.

  Once they step into the path of the true self, they may end up no better than being controlled by the original.

People who don’t know much about the way of the true self thought this way, and then secretly sent a message to Luota, asking him to continue to ask for more intelligence information, and asked why the general soul gave them trouble in practicing the way of the true self.

However, at this time, an alarm suddenly sounded in the base.

“A change in space and time has occurred. According to the vibration patterns of space and time, the fluctuation level is level eight.”

 The sound of the siren caused everyone to immediately give up training, and then began to get dressed and prepare to enter the teleportation field not far away.

At the same time, someone at the center console immediately retrieved the surveillance data of the incident location and began to conduct intelligence investigations.

Rota turned around and was about to leave, but hesitantly stopped and looked at Taoist Gourd.

“Go ahead, I’ll also observe your actual combat, and maybe I can think of a solution.”

Hearing Taoist Calabash’s words, Lotta immediately nodded and headed towards the preparation room without looking back.

 Compared to reception work, Rota prefers combat missions.

Soon after they finished dressing, they used the space-time converter to tear apart space and jump to the location where the incident occurred.

At the first glance, Luo Ta saw the Taoist Calabash sitting next to him on the side of the road, as if he had already arrived here, holding a cup of milk tea.

 Then his eyes flickered and he looked towards the center of the incident.

 This is a pedestrian street.

 But at this time, the pedestrian street was filled with wind and clouds, and traces of twilight were scattered all over the street, as if we had arrived in a dead city.

This street looks like it has been abandoned for decades.

At the same time, a whimpering sound came from the broken door.

Like a resentful woman, complaining about her miserable fate in a deserted place.

“It’s the change in time and space caused by the failure to awaken the general’s soul.” Corresponding information was immediately passed on.

　　Although they don’t know the real cause of the change in time and space, they have also found out something.

 That is, before space-time changes occur, there are corresponding primers.

For example, if the soul fails to awaken, it is very likely that things from the past will be attracted, causing changes in time and space.

 And if some people suddenly develop future vision and say that they can see the future, then most of them will attract things from the future.

 Some strange rituals can lead to things from different time and space.

For example, the major event of the wave of ghouls was due to a cannibalism incident occurring in a certain area of ​​the city, which resulted in the completion of some weird ritual and the summoning of ghouls.

In addition, there are some weird things that can summon things from different time and space, thereby promoting the birth of events.

 For some changes in time and space, it is impossible to find the initial trigger.

However, the introduction this time is very easy to find.

There was an alarm message in this area a long time ago. The caller said that a violent incident occurred here. It was roughly a group of delinquent teenagers and girls who forced a timid-looking girl to buy things for them.

 The girl refused, so they punched, kicked, and slapped the other girl repeatedly.

It seems that under this stimulation, the girl's mood fluctuated violently, and she showed signs of awakening.

 There are very few people who have awakened their general souls, and they have mastered military force, so their social status and welfare benefits are relatively good.

This kind of social dregs are themselves marginalized people. They make big and small mistakes all the time, but they generally break the law and discipline. They rarely commit crimes. They usually get into trouble and are detained for a period of time at most.

This time the game was too big, so naturally they were panicked. They were afraid that the girl would retaliate against them after awakening, so they chose the most wrong approach, which was to interrupt the other party's awakening.

This made people who saw people being bullied and called the police immediately panic.

Those bad boys did not study hard and did not understand social common sense, but it does not mean that they do not understand.

 When the awakening is interrupted, it is easy for a rampage incident to occur, that is, a half-awakened soul has not gained sanity and memory, so it loses its sanity and massacres all life around it indiscriminately.

However, he did not expect that this time it was not just a rampage incident, but also a change in time and space.

Those bad boys didn’t even understand what was happening, so they had their limbs cut off one by one, turned into human sticks, and were thrown to the ground, wailing in pain.

From this point of view, it can be seen that the incident this time is more terrifying than a simple rampage incident, because the individuals who descended have reason.

 She was torturing these people, rather than killing them instinctively like ordinary beasts after losing their minds.

“Be careful, the source of mutation this time is likely to have supernatural powers.”

 Those legendary figures in history did not possess many special abilities, but after they came in the form of souls, they could possess some abilities that were shortsighted in the rules.

People in the Countermeasures Department can only think that this is a bonus brought by legends, and then consciously or unconsciously guide these legends to give these legendary characters a positive image.

 For some characters who really cannot be guided, design some obvious loopholes and flaws for them.

“Information has been found. That girl has Li Ji’s bloodline!” At this moment, new information arrived. (End of chapter)
