Underworld Retrograde

At this moment, Li Yelai didn't know that while he was signing his name on the document.

The girl codenamed Cheese had quietly exited the ward and waved slightly to the quiet corridor.

The next second, the elite soldiers who were waiting in various positions in the corridor quietly retreated. Several official psychics waved slightly and disappeared.

Then, Cheese grabbed a few fructose candies from his pocket and threw them into his mouth. He picked up a Bluetooth headset and contacted the other end: "I have used my ability. He did not lie. He did meet the Skinner by accident." He accidentally became a psyker during the battle, but for the sake of concealment, I didn’t guide him into giving more details.”

"That's enough." A steady voice came from the other end of the earphone: "What do you think of him?"

"He is indeed handsome, tall and thin, with a very honest look." Cheese commented.

The other end was silent for a while and then responded: "I'm asking if you think there's anything unusual about him? I'm not asking you to go on a blind date."

After eating a few more candies, Cheese responded: "This guy is a bit picky, and it has to do with family conditions. It has lowered the risk a bit. There is nothing abnormal so far. But obviously, he still has something to hide."

Then he looked at Li Yelai's information.

‘Li Yelai, twenty-three years old. Citizen of Border City Three. Nine years ago, my father left home, and my mother died of illness three months later. He and his sister Li Yunyan depend on each other for life. Currently an antique store employee. No criminal record. ’

"At present, it seems that they are not members of the Ember Church."

"The probability is indeed low, but you still have to be careful."

In the conference room of the Disaster Management Department located in Border City No. 3, several senior executives who hung up the communication fell into silence.

The white-haired old man in the first place said: "This Li Yelai should be a psyker of the Vientiane Path, right? But he was the one who instantly killed the Skinner who was also on the Vientiane Path. His origin is by no means simple, and his abilities must be extremely special. I don’t know if it’s the method of a certain restricted area king.”

"Since you suspect him, you still want to invite him to join the processing department?" Someone asked: "Are you planning to keep a close eye on him?"

"I have this consideration, but I don't think the person who can say in his last words not to scare my sister is a monster. Even if he really has some secrets, as long as his heart is towards humans, we can accept him."

An old woman said quietly: "Of course, necessary vigilance and testing are inevitable. Let Xiao Yang Chen pay more attention and take advantage of the training to understand his abilities."

On the other side, Li Yelai, who officially became the Disaster Preparedness Manager of Border City No. 3, was taken out of the private hospital by Yang Chen and Cheese.

Li Yelai was in a coma before he came because he was not used to the physical reaction of psychic energy after awakening for the first time.

Now that everything is fine, Yang Chen plans to take Li Yelai to the nearest processing bureau branch so that Li Yelai can familiarize himself with his abilities in the training room there and receive corresponding knowledge and skills training.

Today, Li Yelai does not have the technical level required by a handler, so he is a reserve handler for the time being.

So, the three of them got into a dark off-road vehicle in fear.

Along the way, the three people's faces were very serious. They were afraid that Li Yelai's curse would be triggered and the car would be destroyed!

Li Yelai was afraid that if he really failed, he would lose money.

Fortunately, there were no issues with the vehicle. Driving smoothly on the road.

"It seems that your curse only lasts for a period of time after using your ability, and does not last around the clock." Cheese in the back seat smiled and said: "This is a good thing, otherwise, if there is a mission later, you will have to run to it by yourself. ”

"How do you usually suppress curses?" Li Yelai, who was also sitting in the back seat, asked looking at Cheese beside him.

The girl is young, beautiful, capable and valiant, and does not seem to be cursed. But his sister Li Yunyan could not even leave the house. She would show a look of fear when she saw any outsider, even some small animals.

"Curses are different. Compared with yours, my curse is much easier." Cheese looked at Li Yelai and said: "Actually, every psyker's curse is a secret, because it represents some kind of weakness. But I Let me tell you, my curse is sugar addiction.”

"Sugar? Is it the kind of sugar I understand?" Li Yelai was a little surprised.

He had heard of people who were addicted to alcohol, but he had never heard of people who were addicted to sugar. This curse is quite arbitrary.

"Yes, every time I use my abilities, I need to consume a lot of sugar. Otherwise, my heartbeat will weaken." Cheese opened the big pocket of his sweater, took out one of the candies and handed it to Li Yelai: "Here, specially made Sugar. Although it will be painful to eat too much sugar, compared to other colleagues’ curses, this is nothing for me.”

Li Yelai took the candy, tore off the icing, threw it into his mouth, and felt an unusually sweet taste blooming in his mouth.

Eating too much of this kind of sugar may lead to diabetes or other diseases. It's said to be a pediatric drug, but the body can't handle it even if the dose is too high.

Seemingly sensing Li Yelai's thoughts, Cheese responded with a smile: "Don't worry about this. Psykers are stronger than ordinary people and can avoid many diseases. Of course, as a psyker on the 'Babble' path, My physique is not the strongest yet, so I have to be careful.”

"Path?" Li Yelai asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"You will get detailed information later." Yang Chen, who was driving, responded: "To put it simply, this is a classification based on the psychic characteristics of psykers. Each has different abilities and tendencies. Currently, the official paths are: Seven types. Ranked from the proportion of spiritual energy and physical enhancement brought by each awakening.

They are: Gui Ling, Ya Yu, Shen Yu, Wan Xiang, Netherworld, Ling Mu, Zhen Wu. With each awakening, the spiritual energy of the zero path increases the most, while Zhenwu strengthens the body the most. As for the characteristics of each path, you will get the information later. "

Li Yelai silently wrote down the names of the seven paths and paid attention to everything in them.

My ability is All-Seeing Faceless. Does it mean that I am a psyker of All-Seeing Path?

"What is awakening?" Li Yelai continued to ask.

"This is still far away from you. Simply put, awakening is a promotion ceremony for a psyker to once again open up the well of his soul and get closer to the virtual realm." Cheese continued: "Every time he awakens, a psyker will Strengthening the original ability and gaining new abilities along the way is that it is more likely to be distorted.”

"Remember, never try to awaken when you are not completely sure. There was an official psyker in the giant molten city who twisted and lost control during his fifth awakening. He forcibly tore apart the giant city's High walls.”

Cheese's words shocked Li Yelai. Tear down the high wall?

A high wall more than fifty meters high and nearly ten meters thick, made of reinforced concrete?

What kind of humanoid self-propelled cannon is this?

A psyker who has awakened many times is actually so terrifying?

At this time, the vehicle slowly stopped.

I came to a clothing store located on the edge of the old city. The business of this clothing store was very bleak. Not only the clothing stores, but also the shops on this entire street had no customers.

However, Yang Chen and Cheese were not surprised. After greeting the employees of the clothing store, they took Li Yelai directly to the fitting room in the store.

"Isn't it bad for two men and one woman to enter the same fitting room?" Li Yelai tried to say.

"What's going on? You still feel like you're at a disadvantage?" Cheese joked, giving Li Yelai a rollicking look.

"That's another price!" Li Yelai complained, and saw Yang Chen opening the second door in the fitting room.

It was a bright passage, and at the end of it stood two steel giants.

They were wearing thick power armor, with raging steam spurting behind them, and their three-meter-tall bodies seemed to have endless power.

Li Yelai looked at the two steel giants, lost in thought, and whispered: "Border Iron Guard!"

This kind of elite soldier wearing thick power armor is the strongest military unit in Border City.

Border Guard!

It is an existence that the residents of Border City know, but are almost unable to see.

According to an antique shop owner who claims to be a veteran, in the chaotic era, when Iron Guards appeared on the battlefield, they would knock one out if they had the chance.

Because that iron guard might be able to turn the tide of the battle and save your life.

And when you see the full-fledged border guards appear, look for an opportunity to kowtow one to yourself, and put the dog tag in your mouth, so as not to cause trouble to your comrades who are collecting the corpses. This means that the next war will be extremely cruel.

Unexpectedly, I saw two iron guards directly here. It seems reasonable?

"They are reliable comrades-in-arms." Yang Chen greeted the two iron guards as he walked through the passage.

The humanoid tank-like Iron Guard nodded slightly. He looked at Li Yelai.

"He's a newcomer. If nothing else, he should be one of my team members." Yang Chen introduced Li Yelai's identity.

"Understood, welcome to the Dongcheng branch." One of the iron guards made a metallic voice and opened the thick metal door.

The Eastern Processing Bureau branch is hidden underground, and the former clothing store is one of the entrances.

The interior space is not small and the facilities are very complete. Lounge, training room, canteen.

Psykers belonging to the branch will train, equip equipment or awaken here.

Not surprisingly, this will be Li Yelai's future workplace.

But Li Yelai didn't have time to look at the layout of the branch, so he was taken to a training room by Yang Chen.

The training room is about the size of a basketball gym. There are various cold weapons placed on the edge. In the field, there is a huge metal cube. It's covered in various scratches and cracks.

Obviously, this is a target for official psykers to practice their abilities.

"I just put up a new one yesterday, why is it like this?" Yang Chen looked at the cube and tsked, and said to Li Yelai: "You should practice here and become familiar with your abilities. I see that your hands are long and your waist is thin. It’s suitable for learning swordsmanship, so go pick one up.”

And pointed to the weapon rack on the edge.

Li Yelai scratched his head and asked: "Why use cold weapons? Do we also need to use cold weapons to deal with psychics and victims? Times have changed, sir."

"Because every psyker is protected by a psychic barrier. Only a very small number of thermal weapons can consume the psychic barrier efficiently." Yang Chen took out a large-caliber revolver from his arms and replaced it. After a group of bullets, he shot himself in the head.

'boom'

The sudden suicidal behavior made Li Yelai almost jump.

However, he found that the bullet was firmly fixed in the air about five centimeters outside Yang Chen's temple. No matter how high-speed the bullet spun, it could not get any closer to Yang Chen. Eventually, the bullet's kinetic energy was exhausted and it fell to the ground helplessly.

This reminded Li Yelai of his initial attack on the Skinner, which was also blocked by a similar barrier.

So, this is the psychic barrier?

"If you have undergone special training, you can also block some bullets. This is the most basic use of the psychic barrier. Skilled psychics can also use the barrier to jump in the air." Cheese on the side also explained.

Can a psychic like me who has just awakened once also resist bullets?

Li Yelai's heart moved, and he couldn't imagine how terrible a highly awakened psychic would be.

"And the psychic barrier can be disturbed or neutralized by the barriers of other psychics."

"So, using psychics to fight psychics is the best solution. Because they need to get close, official psychics must be good at using cold weapons, and kill the enemy with one knife while neutralizing the psychic barrier." Li Yelai nodded slightly to show his understanding.

Then, he came to the weapon rack to choose a weapon.

He had no intention of hiding his ability, and the official would design equipment for him based on his ability.

And since he was ready to join the official, there was no need to hide his ability.

As for the black shadow, Li Yelai had not yet decided to tell the official. He was not sure about the official's attitude towards the weird existence of the black shadow.

Soon, Li Yelai followed Yang Chen's advice and chose a long-handled blade that was either a broadsword or a saber.

He held it with both hands, and it was powerful and heavy.

If it was the previous Li Yelai, it might be a bit difficult to hold it, but after becoming a psychic, he was much stronger and could swing it freely.

On the other side, several official psychics quietly came to the training room.

"What a handsome guy, is he the one who killed the skinner?" A sturdy man wearing a black sports vest sat aside and asked Yang Chen.

Yang Chen nodded slightly: "One axe chopped the man and the sword into pieces."

The sturdy man's face changed slightly: "What path? Zhenwu?"

"According to the test, it seems to be Wanxiang." Yang Chen responded.

"Are you sure?" The sturdy man frowned: "I am the Universal Path. The skill I awakened for the first time was the beast language, and the second time I awakened was the mimic sickle. Only then did I have a certain combat power. You also know that the abilities of psychics are random, but the early awakenings of the Universal Path are mostly auxiliary abilities. How can I kill the skinner who is also the Universal Path with one knife? What's wrong, is his face so good? Did he draw a magical skill?" In his cognition, the ability of the Universal Path can be summarized as driving and mimicking extraordinary creatures. What did Li Yelai mimic? Can he defeat the enemy with an axe? "It will be revealed soon." Yang Chen said in a deep voice. His eyes swept everywhere, and the official psychics were observing silently. There was a handsome man wearing a silver cloak and carrying a shield and axe. There was a black-robed doctor carrying a briefcase and a bird-beak mask. There was a guy wearing a frog doll costume and holding a billboard. It seems that the headquarters is a little worried about Li Yelai and called almost all the captain-level combat power in the branch. On the other side, Li Yelai came to the metal cube with a big knife.

After taking a deep breath, he recalled the feeling when he used his ability before.

He stretched out his left hand and wiped his face, and a black and white mask appeared instantly.

The double pupils appeared!

In an instant, the faces of almost all psychics changed.

Because Li Yelai's momentum changed dramatically in an instant, and the domineering aura bloomed in the field. It seemed that it was not a person, but a battle-hardened army!

After performing the mask, a lot of skilled fighting skills flooded into his mind. Li Yelai held the knife with one hand and chopped it down.

The harsh sound of metal cutting resounded throughout the venue, and the blade embedded in the metal cube like cutting tofu, tearing a huge crack abruptly!

"What did he mimic?" Yang Chen asked in a low voice.

Looking at the double pupils, the sturdy man suddenly stood up, his eyes full of disbelief.

"He mimicked the spiritual eye path!"
