Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 145: The Silent Society

When footsteps were heard outside the bar, the bartender stopped wiping the glasses.

The young man who had left not long ago walked in and sat back down at the bar under the scrutiny of the drinkers.

The only difference was that there was a young man following him.

Rand's people.

As one of the few bartenders and information dealers in Shatu Town, the bartender recognized the boy the moment he saw him. He even vaguely knew some inside information, that the boy seemed to be a "psychic" who could help Lant gamble for profit.

But now it looks like Rand is probably...
Looking at the bag in the boy's arms and the blood all over his body, the bartender retracted his gaze and smiled again.

"Well your wine is ready."

"Give him a large glass of ice water and add some peppermint essence." Song Shi picked up the glass and motioned for the boy to sit down. "The casino is filled with a certain concentration of hallucinogenic gas and stimulants to adjust the atmosphere, but taking too much will still affect the brain."

Then he turned to look at the bartender and said, "By the way, do you have any hemostatic spray? Please use it. I'll pay for it."

The bartender rummaged around backstage for a while and handed the boy a bottle of healing spray with the Emerald Pharmaceutical trademark. The boy didn't waste any time and started spraying himself.

"Personal advice." When the bartender brought the ice water, he lowered his voice and said tactfully, "You should be a little more cautious next."

Inside the bar, behind Song Shi, some people had already stood up and left.

“Is this a warning?”

"No, this is a reminder," the bartender said, "There's more to hunting a tiger than just rushing up with a spear and stabbing it to death."

"So."

Song Shi raised his glass to the other party and smiled softly, "Thank you for the reminder."

He drank it all in one gulp, then put the glass down and stood up from his seat.

"Agalemare, let's go."

The bartender watched the two men leave. After a long while, he suddenly realized something.

The other party didn't seem to pay.

······
It is difficult for small and medium-sized gathering places like "Shatu Town" built on wasteland to provide any high-quality services.

Even though the motel Song Shi found was considered high-end in the town, when he actually checked in, the only thing worth mentioning about the room was that it was clean, without the usual needles, condoms, and bed sheets stained with yellow blood.

"sit down."

Song Shi pulled over a chair and sat on it.

Agalemare hesitated for a moment and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Um"

Staring at the other person, Song Shi pondered for a while, and finally said: "Do you know what path you are on?"

"Revelation. This is what it told me." Agalemaal looked at his hands and said, "I have also looked up some information on the Internet. You are a psychic of the Great Source, right?"

"The second ring, Dayuan."

Song Shi nodded and confirmed the other party's question: "You can call me Song Shi."

"Do you have any living family, or anywhere to go?"

Agaremar shook his head, but his expression did not change, as if he had already gotten used to it.

"I was killed by Lanter, the owner of the casino just now, half a year ago. He saw me playing cards with others in Palose and guessed that there was something wrong with me." Agalemare laughed at himself. "At first, he thought I had some unique cheating method and planned to force him to tell me. Then he found out that I actually relied on psychic skills to gamble."

"He knocked me out and put me in a bag, then gave some money to the border guards and brought me here."

Agaremar lifted his shirt, revealing shocking scars all over his chest and abdomen, as if someone had branded them with a hot iron: "I tried to escape several times, but failed."

For the first time, anger appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The last time I ran to the entry channel of Palose, but Lant bribed the guard in advance, and the man directly detained me and handed me back!"

Song Shi's expression remained unchanged: "Where are your psychic skills?" "Lant is on guard, and he always brings several people to catch me." Agalemare took a deep breath: "And even if there is a 'delay', I can't always be 'lucky'. Sometimes I rely on 'luck' to escape from Shatu Town at first, but later I will be caught again 'unlucky' for various reasons."

Song Shi was not surprised.

Every path has its own unique facets, and it varies from person to person. There is no fixed path or direction. Just like the great source of "water", the river of life that nourishes all things and the flood that destroys the earth are completely different.

But overall, [Revelation] is not particularly good at head-on combat.

The most important thing is that the opponent is only at the first level, and even the first level of psychic skills is not full. In terms of pure combat power, it is naturally far inferior to a character like Lant who has been cybernetic and wielded weapons.

A momentary "luck" can never lay the foundation for lasting victory.

“——Three roads.”

So Song Shi raised three fingers.

"Since you have nowhere else to go, I can give you three options."

Agalemare's expression tensed.

"First, go back to Palose. I know some people in the Enlightened Ones. You can join them."

"Are you a member of an anti-company organization?" He was stunned.

"Second, you follow me for a while. I'll take you to the next nearest city, and you can start a new life on your own."

Agalemare said nothing.

"The third one." Song Shi looked at the other party and said, "I will give you a map, and you can go to the 'Silent Society' by yourself."

".The Unspoken Society?"

Agalemaal thought for a moment and confirmed that he had never heard of this name, so he asked, "What is that?"

"A group of psychics, an organization that has gathered the most [Revelations] in the world.

"To explain it in terms you can understand, you can think of it as an existence that is even larger than a giant corporation... Only you, Revelation, can create such a thing."

Song Shi paused.

"Of course, it is definitely not within the territory of the Corporate Alliance."

"Not within the territory of the Enterprise Alliance?"

Agalemaal thought he had experienced enough today, but at this moment, he still showed a surprised expression.

Far beyond the borders of the corporate alliance, how far is that? A thousand miles? Ten thousand miles?
After a long while, Agaremar finally spoke: "Which one do you suggest I choose?"

"You make your own choice." Song Shi said succinctly: "This will determine the direction of your life for a long time to come. How can you let others make the decision?"

Agalemaal opened his mouth and was silent for a while: "The third one."

He said, “I want option 3.”

"Is there a reason?" Song Shi asked with interest.

"My intuition tells me that this may be the best choice for me." Agalemaer said, and then he paused: "I want to ask, why did you save me?"

When he said this, the boy raised his head for the first time and looked into the eyes of the person in front of him.

"You can think that I did it on impulse, because it's not a difficult thing to do, and I don't have to pay anything. You can also think that I am righteous and cannot stand evil and suffering, so I killed those people and rescued you."

"But - these are too vague. Even if they are true, it is hard to convince people, not to mention that this is the first time we meet."

Song Shi sat up straight with his hands clasped together.

"So, if I say that I will go to the Silent Society in the future and it will be convenient to get things done by knowing someone, would you be more receptive to this explanation?"
