Chapter 114 The Fifth Evolution
Hearing that I finally got to the point, Jiang Wang also put away his original expression.
"So, I have passed the probation period?" Jiang Wang asked with raised eyebrows.
"That's not up to me," I answered truthfully.
In fact, Jiang Wang didn't need any probation period at all. The bureau wanted him to join, but Lin Hanning's identity was more of a concern to the investigation bureau.
But since they came together, they decided to check them both out.
After finding out Jiang Wang's attitude, I went straight to the training room.
During this mission, Chen Yubing suddenly lost his ability. I realized that no matter how strong the awakened ability is, there may be a time when it is useless.
The key is to improve your own abilities.
And my sudden loss of control in Tiannan City made me want to train even harder.
If you want to improve your ability to withstand the negative effects of using fear projection, the best training method is to use mental power to suppress the helmet.
What’s interesting is that every time my mental strength improves, I can feel my physical fitness improve.
It seems that for evolvers like us, improving mental strength is an important way to become stronger.
As I stepped into the training room, I saw Chen Yubing tinkering with her modified mechanical Tang sword. When she saw me, she put down what she was holding and smiled at me.
"Are you here? The helmet is right there. Song Nanxing wanted to use it just now but I stopped him."
Chen Yubing’s words made me feel a little strange, because I clearly didn’t tell her that I wanted to use a helmet.
Seeing my confusion, Chen Yubing's lips curled up slightly, forming an elegant arc.
"I know you well. After this mission in Tiannan City, someone as stubborn as you would definitely come here for training immediately."
I nodded awkwardly but politely. She really saw through me.
Wait, didn’t she also come to the training room right after she came back?
It seems I'm not the only one who's stubborn and determined to be strong.
Just after picking up the helmet and putting it on, Song Nanxing walked in from outside the training room with his hands folded.
When he saw me wearing the mental suppression helmet, he walked up to me in a mean manner.
I suddenly became alert, feeling like he was up to no good...
"Ultimate Unlucky Guy, have you rested well? You came so early."
Sure enough, I knew that nothing good could come out of his mouth.
Seeing him look so shameless, I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him.
Seeing my expression, Song Nanxing said:
"Don't be so unconvinced. You've participated in two missions in a row, both involving secret-level dangerous tasks. Tsk tsk... Such luck! You're the only one among the L-level personnel under investigation who has that."
"Song Nanxing, are all your injuries healed?"
After hearing what I said, Song Nanxing patted his chest and said, "It's just a minor injury."
"That's good."
Since Song Nanxing said so, I won’t be polite.
He turned to Chen Yubing and said, "Yubing, Song Nanxing wants to practice with you."
Before Song Nanxing could refuse, Chen Yubing picked up his Tang sword.
"Is there such a thing? I also want to try it."
Chen Yubing was eager to try.
"No, when did I say that? Hey! Wait!"
Before Song Nanxing could finish his words, he was pulled away by Chen Yubing.
Seeing Song Nanxing's miserable look, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Such a scene made me feel relieved.
But what Song Nanxing said just now reminded me.
As he said, although Song Nanxing's concept of evil gods was limited to the one from the Apocalypse Sect, he didn't know about the others.
But according to "Wu", these missions seem to point to different existences.
Several consecutive missions involved different evil gods. It seemed like a coincidence, but I had a creepy feeling. When I thought about the inexplicable dreams I had before, I always had the illusion that everything was arranged clearly.
Thinking of this, I suddenly lost interest in training. I hurried back to the dormitory, took out my notebook and pen, and wrote down a few nouns on it.
The Apocalypse sect's Lord God and the Red and White Moons have now been confirmed to be evil gods.
As for the suspected evil god... After thinking about it, I wrote two words after the suspected: Zhoutian.
In addition, there are powers whose belonging to unknown things include: cloud thunder pattern and Morse code.
Except for the third row, the two rows above are obviously very dangerous.
Although I don’t know the origins of the cloud-thunder patterns and Morse code, they are what I can rely on for now.
After thinking about it, I wrote Lin Hanning's name in the notebook again, and then put a question mark behind it.
Lin Hanning's power is very special. In comparison, the cause of her mutation does not seem to be a source of pollution, but rather a strong purification ability.
Does her power also come from the evil god? Or some other being?
After drawing the mind map in a notebook, the ideas become much more intuitive.
What I need to do now, in addition to strengthening my own abilities, is to observe Lin Hanning.
Fortunately, I haven’t been very busy recently.
Since returning to Xinyan City, our lives have become stable.
Every day, it's just training, and the captain doesn't give us any tasks.
In such a life, time flies by quickly.
In a blink of an eye, a month has passed since the last mission.
Xinyan City has bid farewell to autumn and entered winter.
During this month, all abnormal units in Xinyan City were controlled by the Investigation Bureau.
Those strange red threads and flesh lumps seemed to have disappeared.
It's like being frozen by the sudden drop in temperature.
The survivors of Xinyan City finally had a chance to catch their breath.
To be honest, we all feel a little confused about this situation, because it clearly looked like the end of the world before.
However, despite our doubts, since the abnormal units and mutated monsters have been controlled, we are happy to have some free time.
So everyone in the task force spontaneously devoted their time to training.
The experimental department is also stepping up its research.
Just when I was about to get rusty from idleness, the task came down.
When Chen Yubing, Song Nanxing and I arrived at the office, Gang Jue was already there.
Seeing everyone gathered, the captain said:
"There is a very urgent task now."
To be honest, I rarely see the captain so serious. Most of the time, he has a kind face. Although he lost an eye in the Battle of the Western Suburbs, it did not make him more terrifying.
Seeing the captain's expression, Song Nanxing nodded seriously and said:
"Captain, you say it."
"It's about the Apocalypse Cult. The mission is very difficult, so secret-level personnel and some elite Level L troops will participate. But if you don't want to go, I'll talk to the higher-ups."
When I heard that it involved the Apocalypse Sect, I subconsciously pricked up my ears.
Since the last mirror world, the Apocalypse Sect seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
Apart from the church Jiang Wang mentioned, I have almost no clues.
Now that I finally have news about the Apocalypse Sect, I will naturally not let it go.
As for the high difficulty of the tasks, to be honest, none of the tasks we have done during this period were not difficult.
Besides, I have evolved five times now.
Yes, I have completed my fifth evolution this month.
To be precise, I have actually started my fifth evolution in Tiannan City.
The last time I almost lost control when I used fear projection.
Fortunately, Lin Hanning helped me suppress the out-of-control power at that time.
So during this month, I used the mental suppression helmet to increase my mental power a lot.
This is how evolution succeeded.
So naturally I don’t want to miss this mission, but I don’t know what others think.
I looked at the two people next to me with some hesitation.
To my surprise, neither Chen Yubing nor Song Nanxing declined, but nodded and said:
"We're willing to take it."
The captain nodded and handed each of us a document.
"Then take a look at this document."
After opening the file in my hand and reading it carefully, I was really shocked by the contents of the file.
"Captain, is everything in the document true?"
"Um."
The content of this document stated that in recent months, the Apocalypse Sect had secretly planned and actually summoned an extremely powerful abnormal unit directly in Hanwan City.
After this abnormal unit appeared, several nearby shelters were attacked and no survivors were spared.
Among them are also many evolvers.
According to the aerial footage from the drone, the entire Hanwan City has become the home of this abnormal creature.
"And your two friends, Jiang Wang and Lin Hanning, you can ask them if they want to participate, even if it's just an inspection." The captain looked up at me again and said.
"Captain, isn't this risky?" Song Nanxing frowned, somewhat disapproving.
"Xing, I know what you're worried about, but all the secret-level personnel are on this operation. No matter how powerful Lin Hanning is, he won't be able to cause any trouble under the eyes of so many secret-level personnel. Besides, this mission is very dangerous, and they may not be willing to go."
Seeing that the captain said this, Song Nanxing didn't say anything more.
"Go and ask them about their willingness first. If they are willing to participate in this mission, bring them to the conference room at 2 pm."
I nodded, took the order and went out, heading straight for the outer resettlement point.
Lin Hanning had already woken up at this time. Neither she nor Jiang Wang was too surprised to see me coming over.
"It seems like you probably know what I want to say?" I said with a smile.
"If I'm not mistaken, my guess should be almost right." Jiang Wang nodded.
"Well, now you all know it. I came here just to ask if you are willing to participate in a mission." There is nothing to hide now, so I just said it directly.
Lin Hanning thought for a moment, then looked up and asked me, "Can I know what the content is?"
"certainly."
I nodded, repeated the content of the mission, and emphasized the danger of this mission.
"In short, it's very dangerous. It's no exaggeration to say that this mission might put your life in jeopardy."
Jiang Wang nodded and said, "I have no objection."
Lin Hanning lowered his head and thought for a while, then repeated, "Is it dangerous?"
"It's very dangerous. No one can guarantee that they can come back alive."
During this process, I was observing Lin Hanning's expression.
Although she hesitated, she did not show too much fear.
He wasn't even as nervous as Jiang Wang.
After a while, as if he had made up his mind, Lin Hanning nodded.
"I do."
Seeing that she agreed, I continued, "Okay, I'll come to see you this afternoon, and we'll go to the meeting room inside the Investigation Bureau together."
Having said that, I turned and left. After walking a distance, I conveyed the results of the inquiry to the captain.
After a brief rest, I went out again and brought Jiang Wang and Lin Hanning in.
"Wow, such a big underground base?"
Jiang Wang has been talking non-stop since he came in. He exclaimed in amazement: "So punk, so cool."
I smiled but said nothing.
When I got to the conference room, I was a little surprised to see it was full of people.
Are so many people going to participate in this mission?
Looking around, I saw that almost all the people present were members of the "Sword of Dawn", about a hundred of them.
The captain sat on the podium, waiting for the arrival of other team members.
A few minutes later, almost the entire "Sword of Dawn" team was here, including the secret-level "Sword of Dawn" team members.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the captain and several commanders began to explain the mission content.
Then start dividing the work.
The main task of our Level I "Sword of Dawn" is to cooperate with the "Eye of Perseverance" task force to conduct preliminary exploration and launch tentative attacks, eliminate interference factors and create a favorable combat environment for the secret-level "Sword of Dawn" team members.
The meeting lasted for an hour and the deployment was finally completed.
Chen Yubing, Song Nanxing, Gang Jue, Jiang Wang and Lin Hanning and I were assigned to form a special operations team.
Not only do they have to cooperate with the preliminary investigation of "Eye of Perseverance", but they also have to participate in some secret-level "Sword of Dawn" tasks.
"This mission requires destroying the anomalous units created by the enemy at all costs, regardless of containment."
"Currently, the comrades of 'The Eye of Perseverance' have already taken action. Tonight, the members of Groups One and Two will go to support 'The Eye of Perseverance'. The other groups will stand by."
After the captain finished speaking, he announced the end of the meeting, leaving only a few of us.
"You guys still have a week left. During this time, you should intensify your training or recuperate. Make sure you are in top condition for the mission."
We all nodded.
It seemed that because of the task at hand, there was a sense of urgency, and everyone came to the training room at the same time.
My goal was very clear, and as soon as I arrived at the training room, I went straight to mental training.
After the fifth evolution, I gained two new abilities.
In my mutated state, I had two more eyes on my forehead, looking like a spider, except without eight legs.
Although my appearance is a bit strange, fortunately, when I don't use my abilities, I am no different from usual.
One of the two extra eyes is used to distort space. As the name suggests, it directly distorts a small piece of space to achieve the purpose of destroying objects and enemies.
After many experiments, I found that this skill has no negative effects, except that it cannot be used continuously for a short period of time.
Moreover, when dealing with Jiang Wang, who can change his shape at will, distorting space will not have much effect on him.
The other one is more powerful. He can directly seize the opponent's soul to control the opponent.
But it doesn't always work, it depends on the opponent's mental strength and number of mutations, and only one can be controlled at a time.
In addition, my agility has been further improved.
Now my speed is so fast that even Chen Yubing and Gang Jue can't catch up with me.
I think I am quite satisfied with this.
