Chapter 64 Mental Power Harvesting 5
Chapter Sixty-Four
If the source of this world's disaster is mental strength, then mental strength must be extremely important. Should she increase her mental strength even more? In an instant, Lin Xia made her decision: increase it!
Lin Xia checked her survival points; she had 23,670 left. She exchanged 30 points for Spirit and 30 points for Constitution, wanting to see if there would be any changes when she raised them to 300.
[Constitution detected: 300; Strength: +30; Speed: +30. Keep up the good work!]
After glancing at the Notepad, Lin Xia deactivated the "Hide" function. She was afraid she would forget about it again, and seeing the Notepad made her want to make sure she didn't ignore it.
Haha, finally you're not hiding me anymore.
This notebook seems quite lively; watching it fly up and down is quite interesting.
Looking at the things on her hands and feet, Lin Xia felt very uncomfortable. She struggled and found that the things on her hands had a certain degree of freedom. She remembered what the short-haired girl had said earlier, that only those with mental power could open them.
Lin Xia did not act rashly. Judging from what these people said, mental power users were indeed different, and she felt it was better not to reveal herself too early.
She stopped talking and remained quiet the whole way. As evening approached, a long queue formed in front of her.
"Alright, once we enter the city, we'll suppress our abilities." After saying that, the young man took out a small, black, pyramid-shaped object, fiddled with it for a bit, and then stuffed it into his clothes.
The journey into the city was swift. As the vehicle passed through, a blue scanning beam swept from the front to the back, followed by a message: "Beep, welcome to Iris City."
This time, the young man drove to a villa area. When Lin Xia got out of the car, she looked down at her feet. The short-haired girl said, "It won't affect your walking. As long as you take small steps and slow down, it won't affect you."
Lin Xia slowly got out of the car and entered the villa. The short-haired girl led her directly into a large bedroom. After a while, the others came in, pushed the sofas together, and sat down around it.
They quickly drank a bottle of nutritional supplement, but Lin Xia refused the one offered by the short-haired girl.
The woman with the high ponytail glanced at her and said, "If you're not going to eat, just ignore her."
"Alright, go to sleep. We'll be on our way tomorrow morning." The young man took out the small pyramid, fiddled with it for a bit, and placed it among everyone. The small pyramid slowly floated up, emitting a barrier that enveloped them all.
After everyone fell asleep, Lin Xia opened her eyes, checked the time—10 p.m.—and realized that it could indeed block out nightmares. But she wanted to try entering a dream tonight.
Lin Xia probed the small pyramid with her mental energy, and two options popped up as soon as she made contact: block superpowers and block nightmares. Lin Xia turned off the nightmare blocking option, and the barrier slowly retracted. The expressions of the people who were sleeping peacefully changed instantly, some happy and some terrified.
Lin Xia first drank a bottle of the nutrient solution she had exchanged, then drank half a bottle of water, and without resisting the drowsiness, she fell asleep immediately.
She stood in the wilderness, surrounded by darkness, but many pale phosphorescent lights around her provided a meager illumination of her surroundings.
Lin Xia no longer held back and swept her mental energy across the area. At that moment, she felt a force of resistance, but before it could reach her, the scene before her was instantly shattered and turned into darkness.
The force surged back at her; it was mental energy, Lin Xia was certain of it, but it was corrupted mental energy, mixed with too many memories and emotions. It seemed to be trying to corrupt her.
Lin Xia could only ensure that she did not fall into the nightmare and fled at top speed. Almost instantly, she understood the core of that spiritual power. She withdrew her spiritual power and ran away at top speed, but the polluted spiritual power behind her continued to gather more and more.
Although she was running away, she wasn't too nervous; she just didn't know what would happen if her mental energy was contaminated.
This was a dream, her dream. Just like when she dreamed before, Lin Xia manipulated the dream. She imagined her mental power growing infinitely, growing and growing, until it doubled. Suddenly, the space shook, everything in front of her shattered, and she fell down.
Lin Xia saw a large number of people, about two meters apart, densely packed and almost uncountable. Each person was sitting, lying down, or crouching, with expressions ranging from joy to fear to crying.
Above each of their heads, a faint spiritual force was converging in one direction, and the extreme emotions permeating the entire space made Lin Xia very uncomfortable.
When her spiritual power reached this point, no matter how she imagined it, it did not increase further. She looked in the direction where the spiritual power was converging and walked in that direction.
She didn't dare touch the people around her. She didn't understand the principles behind it, and she was afraid that touching them rashly would bring them risks.
She kept walking and walking, passing countless people. She even saw a girl with a high ponytail and a girl with short hair, both of whom looked extremely distressed.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lin Xia finally saw the place where spiritual energy converged. There was a huge cage there, and inside the cage was a giant insect that Lin Xia had never seen before.
It lay quietly in the cage, seemingly lifeless, but its mouthparts were moving, swallowing emotions such as fear, sadness, and ecstasy.
After waiting for a while, a pure spiritual energy overflowed from its body and continued to drift backward. After waiting for a long time, a second ball of spiritual energy did not appear.
Lin Xia continued walking towards the back. When she got close to the cage, she suddenly felt a ripple in her mind, but when she tried to investigate, it quieted down again.
Behind the cage was the phantom of a black square monument. This monument attracted spiritual energy, and Lin Xia felt her own spiritual energy stirring. She restrained her spiritual energy.
They discovered that the stele was actually transparent, and the spiritual energy inside seemed to have liquefied, floating and sinking within it, and it was almost full.
Lin Xia dared not approach. She circled the object and saw a pipe on the lower right side of the monument. It was indeed a pipe, leading into the infinite darkness, its destination unknown.
Lin Xia's hands were itching to try it out. She really wanted to see if the tablet was real or fake, but she wasn't sure if there would be any consequences if she touched it.
Just then, the insect in the cage suddenly stood up, its spiritual power was suddenly blasted away, and a large mass of spiritual energy shot out in all directions.
Lin Xia was struck by a burst of mental energy, which instantly merged into her own. Before she could react, a sharp pain shot through her head. She saw countless threads appear on the top of the insect's head, connecting to the top of everyone's head, and a stream of information flew towards the crowd.
One of them was pointing towards him, but it broke as soon as it got close to the square tablet. Then the space shook, and Lin Xia was thrown out.
Her face was pale, and she felt excruciating pain in her body and head. When she checked her attributes, her mental strength had actually increased by 150 points.
Lin Xia's hands trembled. She felt as if her body was about to collapse. Almost instinctively, she quickly exchanged for 150 points of physique. Only after using them did she feel that her body had stabilized.
[Constitution detected: 400; Strength: +40; Speed: +40. Keep up the good work!]
The other four people woke up at this time.
