Chapter 41 Lighting up the Spiritual Power
"Just grab a few things and go."
She saw Munakata approach the military equipment container, casually grab a bracelet and slip it on his wrist, then fasten a military belt. He then strapped two guns, a tear gas canister, and a dagger to his waist. He also slung a submachine gun across his shoulder. He skillfully checked the weapon, adjusting the scope, his movements expert and practiced. The belt tightened around his lean waist, adding to his masculine proportions.
"Why do you need this?"
"Your mistress is waiting outside to kill me."
She was speechless for a moment after hearing this wording, and then asked, "Can you see what's happening outside from within this space?"
"cannot."
"Then what?"
Zong Fang sneered and loaded the bullet into the gun with one hand.
"Because if any other male dared to take you, I would kill him. I suppose Scorsese and I are like him in that respect."
Qiao Susu paused and didn't dare to respond.
She saw the man picking through a pile of specially made bulletproof vests, finding the smallest one and coming over to help her put it on.
It suddenly made her even more nervous.
"Be good and put it on. Hide behind me later."
He was confident that he would not let her get hurt, but he also didn't want an accident to happen to her, even though the probability was very low.
Qiao Sui Sui sensed something was amiss. Was this a hail of bullets? Would she be accidentally injured? How many people had Lan Ze and Luka brought with them? Would a fight break out? Judging by Zong Fang's stance, he was clearly trying to force his way out and take her away. It would be best to gauge his strength beforehand.
"Munakata, have you ever been a soldier?"
"Yeah." The man was concentrating on cleaning his gun. He raised his gun and took aim while saying, "I participated in the Battle of the Two Wings."
She had heard of the Battle of the Wings several times in conversation, but each time no one went on to talk about it, leaving her with only a vague understanding.
"What exactly is the Battle of the Wings?"
Hearing her question, Zongfang stopped what he was doing, disgust flashing in his eyes, and said, "What a ridiculous farce that made 1.4 billion orcs play along with him."
"who?"
As soon as the words fell, the earth trembled and the scene around the space suddenly began to disintegrate. Qiao Susu saw the environment around her sliding down like melted ice cream, followed by a huge darkness.
"Qiao Qiao, come here."
Qiao Susu stumbled towards him, but because the whole space was shaking, she couldn't stand still. She grabbed Zongfang's arm and was carried into the corner of the container by him.
"Don't be afraid, it'll be fine."
“Will this place collapse?”
"An orc with the talent for breaking is trying to open my space from the outside. Stay still."
She nodded, and when she saw Zongfang about to leave, she quickly grabbed him. "Are you going out alone?"
"I'll pick you up in a minute."
He didn't know the situation outside, but he expected that Scorsese must have brought military troops. In this case, the best way would be to pretend to hold Qiao Susu hostage and then find a way to break out, but he didn't want to do that. Even if it was just a show, he didn't want to point a gun at her.
"Qiao Qiao, be good. This space will be safe after I leave. If I'm not back yet, just focus on imagining that thing in your mind if you need anything. I've already made this space recognize you as its master."
Qiao Susu remembered that he bit her finger before coming in. Was it that drop of blood?
Without time to think, Zongfang kissed her between the eyebrows and turned away.
She quietly leaned over the edge of the container and looked over, only to see Zongfang spread out his palms and closed his eyes, and disappeared into the space the next second.
It turned out that the way to get out was so simple. She recalled everything she saw after entering the space, and immediately guessed that the properties of this space were not only storage and accommodation, but also the ability to create everything with thought. Except for a few containers which were real objects, the others should be illusions.
She followed the method Zongfang had just described, spreading her palms, calming her mind, and concentrating on imagining getting out. However, ten minutes passed, and when she opened her eyes again, she was still in the same place. She tried again, this time starting with something simple: imagining a red apple in her palm.
However, everything remains the same, nothing has changed.
By this time the tremors had subsided, so it must have been Munakata who had revealed himself to Ruka and the others.
Qiao Susu was not discouraged. She carefully recalled what Zongfang had done. She turned her eyes and saw a glowing crystal on the diagonal of the container.
A light suddenly flashed in her eyes.
"Spiritual Power Stone"
She moved over and picked up the rough stone, which was about the size of a palm. She speculated, "Only Zongfang and I can enter this space, which means that only we are qualified to control everything here with our minds. So the rules are the same, and the space is still the same. Only the people who activate the rules are different. In other words, the difference between Zongfang and me is that he has mental power, and I don't. That's why I can't conjure things out of thin air or leave just because I want to."
Qiao Susu's thoughts were very clear at the critical moment. She began to recall how to use the mental power gemstone that she had browsed on the light brain.
She stroked the raw stone and felt a warm sensation on her touch, and even her fingertips felt slightly numb, as if an electric current was passing through them.
That post only said that the raw stone needs to be absorbed, and the better the absorption, the better the effect.
But how to absorb this?
She held the stone up and down, looking around, but couldn't find any trigger. She bit the scab on her index finger and dripped blood onto it, but the stone remained unresponsive, like any other stone. A single drop of blood slid down its surface, showing no signs of absorption.
"Could it be eating?"
She tentatively bit the edge of the raw stone, but it was too hard to bite her teeth and was useless.
Qiao Susu was holding a stone with a frown on her face. Just when she was about to give up and look for another way out, the space suddenly shook again. She lost her balance and stumbled, falling forward, and the stone was knocked out of her hand.
She fell heavily face down, and the rough stone landed right on her chest.
It’s over!
Wouldn’t this be fatal?
However, the expected pain did not occur, instead a white light spread across Qiao Susu's heart.
The spiritual power gemstone merged into her body at the moment of this accident.
[Congratulations to the host for awakening his spiritual power. Since this is not a point exchange, the spiritual power bar has been lit up, increasing the host's spiritual power level from D to C.]
Qiao Susu propped up her arms and touched her heart. Not only was it intact, but there was also a warmth. Then she could suddenly hear the sound of her blood rushing. Her whole body felt numb as if it had been electrocuted. A current rushed from her heart to her brain, making her unable to help but raise her head and groan.
Instantly, all the senses were amplified.
All the items in the container floated up, and she found that her vision and hearing became extremely clear.
