Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 107: Path [Truth]

"Can I see all this food?"

When Alnan pushed open the door and walked into the "living room", he laughed softly.

The long tables that had been cluttered with miscellaneous items for a long time were put together, covered with a layer of tin foil, and piled with all kinds of food. Although most of them were fast food or pre-made products, the aroma after being heated still made people's appetites grow.

"Harold reworked some things, like that pot of canned stew." Not far away, Twinkle Star stretched lazily, "You know, this guy likes to make these. He specially adjusted the flavor to make sure you can eat it too."

"Then I won't be polite later."

Instead of saying “Actually, you don’t have to worry about my health”, Alnan coughed a few times and said with a smile: “How can I miss the banquet before leaving?”

At the weapons rack on the other side, Quemu was still carefully examining his weapon, the heavy Gauss sniper rifle named [Great War].

In a sense, in terms of single-shot killing power, Quemu has the highest kill rate among all the Enlightened Ones of Palose.

"Giant War" has two modes of use, one is portable and the other is positional. The former is the mode that Quemu usually uses, which is convenient for action and can be quickly folded up and moved to the blocking location.

The second mode requires that the "Giant War" be fully deployed in advance, embedded into the ground with a bracket, and enhanced modules such as the "energy enhancement battery" and "secondary acceleration electromagnetic coil group" be installed at the same time, turning it into a terrifying war weapon with a total length of more than two meters.

One hit is enough to bring down a heavily armed shuttle.

As for individuals, unless they have specialized defensive capabilities, a level 3 unit will be absolutely unable to withstand a head-on hit - in the face of such an attack, the armor on Dennis and his "light cone" will not be much stronger than paper.

The downside is that it only has one hit.

Once fully deployed, it would take a long time for "Giant War" to open fire again or to retract and move - and this time was enough for the enemy to trace back and lock onto its position and launch a counterattack.

However, as a first-ring psychic on the path of [Truth], Quemu's psychic skills can make up for this to a certain extent.

The path did not emerge out of thin air.

——It is said that the original [transcendence] originated from people's fear and desire for wild beasts.

Faced with the ferocious teeth, muscular muscles and thick scales of wild beasts, most people are afraid and even regard them as so-called "totems", offering blood food and sacrifices in an attempt to obtain their protection.

But some people chose another path.

The claws of wild beasts are sharp, so we sharpen our teeth to be sharper than them. The muscles of wild beasts are strong, so we train ourselves day after day to be stronger than them. The fur and scales of wild beasts are tough and thick, so we train our skin in the same way to be more indestructible than them!
The eagle soars in the sky, so we can also grow wings. The giant whale swallows in all directions and crosses the universe, so we can also become giants. Since the earth dragon can be split into two and remain immortal, and regenerate broken limbs, there is no reason why we can't do it!

Imitate, devour, evolve
——Until finally, completely [surpass] the opponent!
At first there were ordinary beasts, then psychic beasts, and after that, there was the fight between transcendence and transcendence, and between transcendence and psychics of other paths. Transcending everything, climbing endlessly, standing at the pinnacle of this world.

The same is true of Truth.

"Innate spiritual powers" exist in this world. Just as some people are born with the ability to listen to other people's hearts, some wild beasts are born with the ability to harness extraordinary powers far beyond their own kind, able to call the wind and rain, and heal themselves with tremendous strength.

The former are called "sensitives" and the latter are called "phantom beasts".

Of course, according to the current definition, if one does not enter the path of Taoism, these are all classified as "quasi-psychic abilities."

If a person is born with the ability to control air currents and achieve flight, then for him, this is an indisputable and very natural thing.

——You tell me, humans can't fly? Am I wrong?
But at this moment, I was hanging in the sky, the breeze blowing past my ears was real, and the whole earth was in sight.

No.

Maybe what they said was correct, but that didn't mean I was wrong. At least for me, the fact that humans can fly was an indisputable truth.

This is the "truth of oneself".

Do not allow others to question you and practice the truth that you firmly believe in.

If we say that other paths are using psychic skills as threads to weave a network.

As for the path of Truth, it is based on "one's own truth" as an axis. All of their psychic skills are entwined around this axis, constantly increasing the thickness and strength of the axis, extending straight upwards.

Maybe the field is single, but the effect confined to this field is definitely strong enough.

However, not all psychics on the path of Truth are "sensitives" who have innately awakened psychic abilities. The two have an intersecting relationship, not an overlapping one.

Some sensitive people have embarked on other paths, while some insensitive people have embarked on the path of Truth.

In history, there was once a famous third-level [Truth] psychic who was born as a non-sensitive person - the "Windmill Knight", Don Quixote.

Although he was born a commoner, he always believed that he was a "knight", and thus awakened and embarked on the path of "truth".

Don Quixote's psychic skills can be summed up as "I am a knight."

A knight should have a fine horse, so he can summon a psychic life form called "Rochinantuo". A knight should have a full range of spears and swords, so even if he holds a crudely made spear, he can use psychic skills to temporarily enhance it into a "psychic weapon" and cut through iron and rock. A knight should have outstanding martial arts and a strong physique, so he can use psychic skills to enhance his physical strength.

Don Quixote's spiritual power is entirely at the service of the concept of "knight", or his "own truth".

The final scene of Don Quixote takes place shortly after he is promoted to the third ring.

At that time, his country and the surrounding areas were divided into various lords and were in the midst of a long-term war.

When Don Quixote traveled to a city on the mountain, he accidentally discovered that the local lord had quietly resumed large-scale human sacrifice ceremonies. The situation was chaotic at the time, and coupled with the lord being the third ring of [Transcendence], the other countries and forces either did not want to make enemies or were unable to spare the strength, and watched it all happen in silence.

So Don Quixote dismissed his follower Sancho, and at sunrise the next day, he attacked the lord's castle on the cliff alone. After a fierce battle, he killed the giant who was transformed by the latter, but he himself died on the spot due to serious injuries.

It is said that his attendant and companion Sancho once said that on the night before, Don Quixote did not tell him what he was going to do, but just said he wanted to challenge the windmill.

While both are on the path of "truth", Quemu's "own truth" is his eyes.

Before he reached adulthood, he was heavily addicted to simulated documentaries about natural scenery and wonders. Most of these natural scenery and wonders were destroyed in the Seven Lands War. Now he can only experience virtual modeling in simulated documentaries - gradually, he is no longer satisfied with this and wants to see the real scenery with his own eyes.

This requires a pair of eyes that transcend the mundane, even the unreasonable.

Of course, as a first-level player, he couldn't do anything particularly bizarre or incomprehensible.

Quemu's first-level psychic skills are generally "locking" and "traction". He can use his eyes as a medium to achieve an effect similar to the "qi locking the enemy" in martial arts works and exert an invisible traction force to restrict the movement of others.

Relying on psychic skills and the restricted weapon "Giant War" from [Southern Heavy Industry], Quemu can pose a great threat.

At this moment, Song Shi also came out.

"The action will officially begin the day after tomorrow"

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile: "Is this the last supper?"
