Chapter 12: Heaven-Defying System
"Wake up! Wake up!"
Half asleep and half awake, Lin En felt his face being slapped several times.
He slowly opened his sleepy eyes.
After seeing the scene clearly, Lin En was suddenly confused.
Who am I? Where am I? And why am I not wearing any clothes? When Lin En realized that he was tied naked to a chair, he fell silent.
I am currently in another underground facility.
There were many old instruments, colorful gems, and magic matrices drawn on parchment around, with complicated and obscure contents.
Not only that, there was also an open magic book on a stone platform not far away.
One of the pages had a pattern that looked like vertical pupils, which looked lifelike and creepy.
It seemed as if it could penetrate his mind and give him some kind of suggestion.
Lin En vaguely remembered that in the original book, this symbol seemed to belong to the Psychic Cult, which was active in the Second and Third Ages.
Later, for some unknown reason, it was labeled a cult by a certain empire and was completely wiped out.
"You finally woke up, Experiment No. 126."
The voice from before came again.
Lin En looked around but didn't see any figure. The entire laboratory was empty.
What the hell? "Hey, I'm here."
Finally, Lynn lowered his head and found little Karami standing at the bottom of the stairs.
She was a little girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing an inappropriate white coat, with messy brown hair and a few freckles on her nose. She was looking at him intently.
"Who are you?"
Lynn looked at him warily and tried to clamp her legs together.
At the same time, develop a good habit of opening the system easily.
[Character name: Milani Valenella]
[Plot level: D]
[Plot deviation: 0.00%]
Sure enough, I then heard her self-introduction.
"My name is Melanie, you can call me Ms. Melanie." The little girl scratched her messy hair and put her hands in her pockets. "I won't say anything more. You should know why Her Highness Ivester sent you here, right?"
Hearing this, memories from not long ago flooded into Lynn's mind.
He immediately took a breath of cold air.
Did she seem to have done something extraordinary? It seemed that the villain princess was very angry about the act of removing her mask.
Recalling the bone-chilling cold he felt at that time, Lin En couldn't help but shudder.
To be honest, there are some things that you will only understand the beauty of life after experiencing them.
Now he would rather run naked on the street shouting "I am gay" than face that angry woman again.
I just don't know why she spared my life.
But it seems that there is no way to escape the experiment mentioned earlier in the underground prison.
"You want to mind control me?"
Lynn frowned.
Hearing this, the little girl named Melanie shook her head: "It's not a low-end trick like mind control, it's hypnosis, do you understand?"
"The abilities and magic related to mental interference are extremely scarce. Currently, humans only have the ability to charm, forget, psychological suggestion, etc., but they are rejected by the three major churches in the Saint Laurent Empire."
"And each of these abilities has its own drawbacks."
"For example, charm can easily arouse desires in people and cause them to lose their rationality. Another example is psychological suggestion, which has a general effect and does not work for those with strong wills."
“So research involving the mind is a very interesting topic, and I have been trying this field for a long time.”
"In general, the effect I expect from hypnosis is to be able to completely control a person's body and mind without them even noticing."
"On ordinary days, the hypnotized person will be like an ordinary person, unaware of his or her own state. But once the switch is turned on, he or she will fall into a subconscious state and become a slave who obeys the hypnotist's orders."
"Any command from the hypnotist will become a mental stamp, imprinted in the mind of the hypnotized person, and can even completely change his perception of the world and common sense."
"So, Experiment No. 126, you must understand that you are participating in an unprecedented great experiment."
Melanie suddenly stood on tiptoe, looked into Lynn's eyes, and spoke earnestly.
Lin En's mouth twitched: "Is it okay if I want to refuse?"
"Of course not." Melanie touched his head lovingly, and then put a simple helmet-like machine on his head. "Okay, you can talk about it later. Now that you are awake, the experiment can begin."
As she spoke, Melanie walked to a slab of stone stained with mud.
It was carefully carved with the mind's eye from the magic book, and around it were depicted various magic matrices and a dozen grooves for filling magic stones.
The stone slab was connected to several worn-out instruments and finally to the helmet on Lynn's head.
Damn, why does it feel like I'm on the electric chair?
Lynn thought uncomfortably.
His fate was now in the hands of others, and he had no way to resist.
"Excuse me, what happened to the 125 experimental subjects before me?"
Lynn asked with a wry smile.
Milani looked back and smiled: "Haha."
Everything is implied.
Seeing this, Lynn completely gave up the idea of talking nonsense.
The guy in front of me looks like a Frankenstein. He is so obsessed with work that he forgets to eat and sleep. It is likely that he cannot change his mind with just a few words.
What's more, this is the order of His Highness.
No, you have to save yourself.
While thinking, Lin En looked at his body.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
His hands and legs were shackled to the armrests with iron rings, and even his waist was tightly bound with several leather belts.
It seems that Yvesette and others are very wary of him.
But at this moment, I am just an ordinary person without any extraordinary abilities, and it is impossible for me to break free by force.
Thinking of this, Lin En gave up the idea of his own efforts and turned his attention to the last hope.
"system!"
The next second, a curtain of light appeared in front of Lynn.
But it was different from the simple interface he had in mind.
This time, the system seemed completely open to him.
[Name: Lin En]
[Race: Human]
Age: 17
【Faith: None】
[Rank: None]
[Supernatural ability: None]
[Divine Factor: 0]
[Remaining system points: 1]
The empty interface made Lin En feel a little embarrassed.
As far as I can remember, the predecessor of the Tianli Church, which was one of the three major mainstream churches in the empire, had 136 divine genes at its peak, making it one of the best among its peers.
But at this moment he had no time to reminisce about the glorious past, but instead focused his attention on another thing.
"Why do I have 1 system point?"
He silently asked the system in his heart.
[The host successfully increased the plot deviation of the S-level plot character "Yvesette Roland Alexini" to 0.01%, and received 1 system point as a reward. ]
[In addition, the host can spend points to extract various extraordinary abilities and strengthen them, or ignite new divine factors to strengthen their own strength. ]
Hearing this, Lynn was stunned.
Is this the only reward for S-level characters? How pitiful are E-level and F-level characters? But if you think about it carefully, most people are actually in the E and F categories. Even if you add up the number of people, it is still a large scale.
This system is really amazing.
In every sense.
It was worth being tortured for half a month.
After sighing for a few seconds, Lin En turned his gaze to the right side of the system interface.
There hung a disc that looked like a relief, divided into thirty-six sector-shaped areas, each of which was engraved with an ancient and abstract symbol.
There was a symbol among them that he was very familiar with, as if several twinkling stars were connected together.
It is the exclusive mark of the Tianli Church.
Could it be that each mark pointed to a god? There was no mention of this in the original book, but there were so many? Feeling uneasy, Lin En touched the pointer in the center of the relief disc, and then a prompt jumped in front of him.
[Do you want to spend 1 system point to extract abilities? ]
"yes."
The next second, the relief disc began to spin rapidly as if by force of wind.
At the same time, Melanie embedded magic stones of various colors into the stone slab of the mind's eye and was about to start the final step.
So Lin En muttered to himself.
Please, Brother Tong, I have never asked you for anything in my life.
Let's have a more reliable ability! (End of this chapter)
