Chapter 66 Demon
After going to the toilet, my phone was still vibrating in the dark, with the "ding ding dong dong" notification sound that never stopped for a second. I thought it was haunted in the middle of the night.
Ji Minghuan scratched his ears helplessly and ignored the series of information bombardment from Su Zimai.
His fingertips extended from the restraints, and he fished out the phone beside the pillow. He swiped the screen a few times and turned on the do not disturb mode. If it was Lanqiu, he might have blocked her directly; but this was his sister, and he didn't know what she would do when she got angry, so he couldn't afford to offend her.
He lay on the bed speechless. He had no idea why his sister suddenly went crazy.
Normally, Su Zimai would either not say a word or disappear for a month or two as if he was dead; but at this moment, it was as if his brain was stamped with the idea that "family members should love each other", and he was afraid of not being annoyed to death, as if he had developed bipolar disorder overnight.
Ji Minghuan closed his eyelids and transferred his consciousness into Xia Pingzhou's body.
At this moment, the second machine "Xia Ping Zhou" also lay down in a hotel near Shiba Park in Minato Ward.
He remembered that he had just sold the event card "Twins on the Stage" to the system in exchange for a skill point.
So he called up Xia Pingzhou's character skill tree and took a look at the three skill branches.
[Branch 1 (Group): Recruiting soldiers (already learned) → Soldier training (requires "1" skill point) → Unknown...]
[Branch 2 (Brave): Chess evolution (Condition: You need to consume a total of "3" skill points in other branches before you can learn this skill) (Learning this skill requires "1" skill point) → Unknown → Unknown...]
[Branch Three (Soul): Demon Hunter (needs to consume "1" skill point to learn) → Unknown → Unknown...]
The skills of the second branch need to meet the conditions before they can be learned. If you can learn them, it is definitely the first choice, but I haven't unlocked the permissions yet;
The skills of the third branch are a bit useless. They are just disposable demon chess pieces that don't seem to be very useful. Besides, I may not have time to defeat the demons next time.
Therefore, if you want to improve your combat power, it is safest to focus on the first branch in a short period of time. Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan raised his hand and pressed the skill text of "Soldier Training".
The text changed from dark to light, emitting black and white light, lighting up his pupils.
[Consume "1" skill point and successfully learn the skill of the branch "Group" - "Soldier Training" (equip your soldiers with shields and enable the command "Shield Grid" during battle). ]
[Tip: The next skill of the branch "Group" has been opened for learning. ]
Ji Minghuan really wanted to test the soldiers right in the hotel, but the Black Iron Soldiers were heavy, not as slender as the Queen, and could even be described as clumsy. It was likely to cause a noise if they were called upon. It would be better to test them in actual combat in a couple of days.
He closed the series of panels hanging in front of him and shrank the option bar to a gear state. He thought: "Dad's official judgment is 'quasi-disaster level'... I remember the attributes measured by the restraint belt were strength A++, speed A, and spirit A."
"My best friend is a member of the Royal Court Team. This title sounds like the strongest among the Strange News Envoys, but his attributes are similar to my father's - if this is the data of 'quasi-disaster-level', then the 'disaster-level' above it is even more exaggerated. Every attribute is close to S-level, or even above S-level."
"So, putting aside the four people from Lake Hunter, who are the strongest exorcists in China, Rainbow Wing is indeed the strongest organization in the world known to the public. After all, this organization has 12 Calamity-level masters."
"Each of my character's mechas has its own skill tree system, and the skill mechanism can make up for the numerical difference... But even so, it will take at least one or two months to raise each mecha to the disaster level."
"Hey... If I hadn't been given the ability inhibitor, wouldn't it be easy to create a character with initial stats of a natural disaster level? But this is why I was given the inhibitor. How could they let me do that?"
Ji Minghuan put his arms behind his head and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
"My instructor seems to have told me to get in touch with other children in the lab in the next two days... Let's not talk about whether it's true or not. What kind of monsters are the other children locked up in the lab? Will this crappy place become the final boss concentration camp in the future?"
Thinking of this, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep amid the hum of the air conditioner.
"Restricted Psychic, No. 1002 - 'Ji Minghuan', your mentor is visiting, please get ready for interrogation immediately." Another similar voice woke him up from the darkness.
Ji Minghuan opened his eyes and slowly turned his head to look, only to see a figure in a white coat walking in from the open metal door. He asked his instructor, "Didn't you say that you wanted me to meet the other children? Why can't I see a single person?"
"Still preparing." The instructor said as he walked.
Ji Minghuan stood up from the bed, rubbed his dizzy head, and said sarcastically: "We have to be prepared... The children you have locked up here must be extraordinary. If we accidentally let them out, there will probably be fewer countries on Earth."
The instructor sat down at the table, put down the thermos cup on the table, put his fingers together, smiled and said: "To put it mildly, more than a few countries, maybe half of the human race will disappear."
"You are quite honest." Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "Actually, I am a little curious... Since you said Kong Youling is also a superpower, then what level does her superpower belong to in your system?"
The instructor replied: "She is the most promising psychic we know of so far. If she grows normally, she will at least be a quasi-disaster-level figure."
"What is the level of quasi-disaster level?"
Ji Minghuan asked knowingly, got off the bed and sat on the chair opposite his tutor.
The instructor patiently explained, "Below 'Restricted' is 'Disaster', below 'Disaster' is 'Quasi-Disaster', below that is 'Dragon', 'Kui', 'Quasi', and 'Harmless'. This is the rating sequence established by the United Nations."
"Are you from the United Nations?"
"No... there's no need to guess. If the time is right, we will tell you who we are."
Ji Minghuan didn't care. He understood why his mentor had concealed the name of the organization from him. He was a user with the ability to "influence reality". If he could break through the shackles one day, he might be able to wipe the entire organization out of history. It was even possible that before his mentor and his friends could react, they would completely disappear from the world, like a name secretly erased from history books.
In fact, he had already figured out the other party's background through his own investigation - "The Salvation Society", which was most likely the name of the organization to which the laboratory belonged.
The instructor smiled and said, "Normally, we wouldn't accept a child like Kong Youling. But her ability series is very rare, so she's a special case here."
"There's another reason... You want to use her to control me, so she becomes a 'special case'." Ji Minghuan said while tapping the table with his fingers absentmindedly.
"Rather than control, it's better to say protection. The outside world is too dangerous for you. Not only that, your own power is also dangerous to you. If a child is left with too much power, it will easily destroy itself. So we will protect you and guide you. This is what adults should do."
"Yes, yes, you are right." Ji Minghuan was too lazy to argue with him, "What about the other children here?"
"The children who are accepted here have the potential to grow into 'Disaster Grade' in the future."
"Then I am the most powerful one here?" Ji Minghuan asked, his tone like a child seeking recognition.
"Of course you are."
"Oh..." Ji Minghuan looked up at his instructor and took the opportunity to ask a series of questions: "Then why is my number restricted psychic 1002? Who is number 1001? Is there another restricted person in the laboratory? How many restricted people like me have appeared in the world?"
"Two in total." The instructor took a sip of tea. "The last restricted-level psychic was a hundred years ago. He also sought our help at that time."
"Then your organization really has a long history and such a rich history." Ji Minghuan knew that further questioning would lead to no results, so he changed the subject: "Tomorrow...which child here do you plan to let me meet?"
"The first child we plan to let you meet is called 'Firio'. He is very special... He has a physique of 'half demon, half human'."
Ji Minghuan was stunned: "Half demon, half human?"
"That's right, it's a child born from the intercourse between humans and demons." The instructor said slowly, "It's called 'demon' for short."
There will be another update in the evening, please give me your monthly vote!
