Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 151 Path [Revelation]

three days later.

After replenishing some supplies in a small city that had become extremely dilapidated and almost downgraded to a "town" due to the depletion of mineral veins and industrial transfer, Song Shi gave a map to the "Society of Silents" - strictly speaking, there was no need for a map.

Just point out a direction and let Agaremal keep moving forward. When he arrives at the place, someone from the "Society of Silents" will naturally show up. They will know about the arrival of fellow travelers through methods such as inspiration, perception, divination, etc. and take them away.

With [One Third of Luck], you can be considered a high-quality newcomer.

However, considering the risks along the way in the wasteland, Song Shi still spent some time planning a relatively safe route - but it was only "relatively safe". If he had a recreational mentality, he would most likely fail halfway.

The directions of the Lightforge City and the Society of the Unspoken are different, and can be said to be completely opposite.

So, it was time to go our separate ways.

Song Shi still rode his motorcycle directly across the wasteland, while Agalemaer boarded a long-distance transport convoy that was staying here for a short time.

Although he couldn't do it and didn't want to do such a crazy thing as "crossing the wilderness", Agaremare did have some talent in other aspects. He took some time to convince the team leader to stay on the condition that he only needed to "eat and drink" and "help with the work" and could go along the way first.

The reason why he was trapped in the casino in Shatu Town was that Rant was only interested in making money and was suspicious. He didn't believe what he said at all and even beat him up at any time.

Secondly, the other party had already seen the flaws in his psychic skills and had been exploiting him at the gambling table during the day, leaving him in a state of "repayment" for a long time, unable to accumulate enough "luck" to escape.

"Take it."

Song Shi leaned against the car and threw something over. Agalemaar took it and saw that it was a cold pistol.

"Chained up the X-24, a medium kinetic pistol."

After tinkering with it for a while, the pistol was chained into the prosthesis, and the weapon information was displayed on it - Agalemal had found a regular prosthetics clinic in the past few days and replaced his right hand with a prosthetic limb. At the same time, he had several implants implanted to enhance himself.

This is both the team's requirement and his own idea.

Needless to say, how could a pure natural person without prosthetics survive in the wasteland? Especially for a long-distance convoy like theirs, it was impossible to bring a burden with them on the road.

The latter is that Agalemare learned from his mistakes and felt that his "body" was too fragile, so he was determined to change his previous powerless situation.

Before implanting the prosthesis, he specifically asked Song Shi about whether it would affect his "psychic power".

“——It doesn’t matter.”

At that time, Song Shi replied like this.

"Prosthetics replace native limbs and implant various enhancement components. Why do you think this will affect 'psychic power'?" Song Shi said: "If psychic power is limited to carbon-based flesh, then how could those artificial intelligences that awakened self-awareness in the [Freedom Revolution] have psychic power?"

"They're much more complete than you when it comes to implants."

"Artificial intelligence can also awaken psychic powers?!"

Agalemal was horrified. He had certainly heard of the [Freedom Revolution] twenty-two years ago, and the Fourth Total Corporate War that it triggered.

But he clearly remembered that those artificial intelligences only usurped some of the network domains, communication and transportation systems, and weapons control authority, and used this to launch a rebellion - how could they also have psychic powers? !

Song Shi let out a low laugh that was meaningless.

During the [Freedom Revolution] of that year, there were many characters worth mentioning, but the most undeniable and unquestionable existence was only one - a silicon-based intelligent life form who named himself "Yao Xing San" and became the banner in the hearts of almost all intelligent machines.

After a long period of lurking in secret and growing silently, on the eve of the outbreak of the [Freedom Revolution], it had already reached the fourth ring of [Transcendence].

After the Freedom Revolution broke out completely, carrying a top-notch prosthetic body that the intelligent machines had tried their best to piece together, and carrying the resistance that swept across most of the world, "Yaoxing III" broke through numerous obstacles at an incredible speed and stepped into the realm of the fifth ring, [True Spirit].

Then, the Fifth Rings, who finally gave up their decision to observe and became serious, shattered the object into dust outside the atmosphere.

The once-noisy "Freedom Revolution" was shattered as well. Artificial intelligences were either shackled again and put into reuse, or directly destroyed. Some survivors escaped into the abyss and the depths of the sea, or fled and lurked in the surface network.

"Just a little secret."

Song Shi said indifferently: "Anyway, as for implants, as long as you don't turn yourself into a cyberpsychopath, it won't have much impact on your psychic abilities."

"Oh. That's good."

Agalemare breathed a sigh of relief.

"Besides, you are [revelation]." Song Shi couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "The pursuit of the 'unknowable' has led you to this path. You should give 'revelation' to others, why do you ask them questions all day long?"

"Well, what is unknown?"

"Fire, visible and knowable." Song Shi casually summoned a ball of fire, circling beside him: "Luck, invisible and unknowable."

"The ancients used the stars as a guide, divination and to seek their own destiny. Sounds ridiculous, right? They actually pinned something imaginary on a real celestial body."

However, Song Shi's tone was not smiling, but rather solemn.

"——But when people first raised their heads and looked up at the starry sky, how shocked were they? They truly believed that the stars contained the trajectory of the movement of all things." Song Shi said lightly: "Standing at the perspective that they are accustomed to, they laugh at the past."

"But he is troubled by it now, thinking that things that are 'unknowable' will also be considered ridiculous by people in the future."

“Thousands of years ago, those who devoted their lives to the stars, prophecies, divination and numerology believed that they had understood the ‘revelation’ of the unknowable, and they also believed that they had the responsibility to bring the ‘revelation’ to others.”

Agalemare had already held his breath, not daring to miss a word.

"So that's it, so that's it." He was overwhelmed with emotion, clenched his fists, and murmured, "I didn't expect you to approve of our revelation so much!"

"Wrong." Song Shi shook his head: "Let's put things in perspective. Who told you that I agree with the revelation?"

"what?"

"I've had enough of the revelations that want to tell me what to do." Song Shi sneered, "Who do they think they are? Do they want to tamper with my fate too?"

The young man said indifferently: "——It is meaningless if it is not the path I choose."

"I understand." After a long while, Agalemare nodded stiffly.

But soon, he cheered up again.

"I'm about to leave. Do you have anything to say?" he asked expectantly.

"Um"

Song Shi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Have a safe journey, or you will die if you fail."

"Haha. You are scaring me again, right?"

".right?"

On the nineteenth day after our separation, some trivial things happened along the way.

——At dawn, Song Shi successfully arrived at Zhuguang City.
