Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 155 Monsters (Part )
"Machiko, you go up first." Gwenlin looked at the man who was still shocked: "Someone will explain it to you later."

"Oh, I understand." Machiko finally came to his senses and nodded repeatedly, but until the elevator door closed again, his confused gaze still stayed on Song Shi.

Song Shi disagreed.

He just slowly looked at the person in front of him.

Gwenlyn.
The young man thought.

It's rare to see acquaintances.

In his previous life, as one of the partners of the Enlightened One, he had some dealings with the other party. Although they didn't have a deep private conversation, they could at least be considered acquaintances.

Gwenlin's network technology is good enough to reach Depth 4, but compared to the former, her real talent is actually "management". In the future, she will become one of the highest decision-makers of the Enlightened, responsible for the administrative management of most of the Enlightened.

At this point in time, Chakolo asked her to come forward to guide him. The other party might have passed the "newbie" stage, gradually emerged, and was entrusted with important tasks.

Seeing that the young man whom Chakoro himself said he wanted to meet was not speaking but was looking at her, Gwenlin spoke first: "I am Gwenlin, and I am currently the administrative director of the Enlightened One in Casting Light City."

"Well, I've heard a lot about you. I'm Song Shi."

"Due to some personal reasons, please forgive me for not being able to receive you in person."

Gwenlin pointed to her chest, she thought Song Shi was curious about this body.

You can feel that this highly realistic, feminine body has no flesh and blood texture, but is made entirely of alloy, composite materials and high carbon fiber. It outlines anthropomorphic curves and is filled with various implants. Thin connection marks are spread all over the surface of the body. The entire body is a pure mechanical creation.

A stand-in that is remotely controlled through network technology.

That’s nothing…

Anyway, every time I met you in my previous life, you looked different.

But Song Shi certainly wouldn't say these words. He just nodded and said, "Please lead the way. I also want to meet the famous 'Rebel'."

Then, Gwenlin nodded.

She deliberately took the lead by half a body length, leading the way, and spoke at the same time.

"I have read the records about Palose. Although Harold and the others have probably told you many times, I still want to say it again in person - Mr. Song Shi, on behalf of the Enlightened, thank you for your support and help to us in Palose."

"Each party gets what it needs." Song Shi said succinctly: "This is a two-way cooperation."

"No, that's not the case."

Gwenlin shook her head and kept walking. "We have done a review and analysis. Without you, the success rate of Operation Moth would only be 19%. You are the core factor that determines the success of the entire operation."

"if not you."

"Many people will die, including us and Palose." She emphasized in a heavier tone.

"As it should be."

This time, Song Shi did not deny it.

He said calmly: "If I can't even become the 'decisive factor' in Palose, then there is no need for me to come to Forge Light City."

At this moment, it was Gwenlin who was stunned, as if she did not expect the other party to be so "confident".

But then she smiled and said nothing more.

——When she is about to meet the leader whom she is willing to follow with all her heart, what is the point of talking about “genius”?

What's more, this Song Shi is also a psychic. She didn't want to say anything too harsh, but the gap between psychics and psychics, and between talents and talents, might be greater than the other party imagined.

I just hope that after today, he can adjust his mentality as soon as possible.

From above the black metal dome, the light array casts pure white light, like a white sun rising, illuminating the entire area.

This underground base has the 13th floor below ground at its lowest level. Looking around, there are no mechanical carts, intelligent machines, large equipment, or logistics teams moving back and forth. The huge space seems empty, with only pure silence.

Even the ventilation ducts and fans that were supposed to be there were nowhere to be seen. This place didn't look like the base of the Enlightened One, but more like a "throne" built just for one person.

Gwenlin and Song Shi didn't speak along the way. Not long after, Gwenlin stopped for the first time.

In front of them, at the deepest part of this level, there stood a huge gate, like a stone pillar connecting heaven and earth, connecting from the ground to the dome above.

The prosthetic eyes of Gwenlin's body lit up, and the gates slowly opened to both sides - compared to its huge appearance, it opened without the slightest sound.

Then the world came into view.

Behind the gate is a hall-like space, and in the center and back of the space, there is a nearly ten-meter-high platform made up of stacked steps.

In the center of the platform, a figure stood quietly.

He was a handsome man, wearing a coat and smiling. When he stood there, the light in the whole space seemed to gather spontaneously. No matter what state or attitude people came into the room, they would definitely look at this man at first sight.

Until this moment.

After Song Shi stepped in here, before Gwenlin was about to speak, when he saw the former with his own eyes, the man who had been waiting with a smile slowly revealed a hint of surprise.

It was like a monster hiding deep in the mountains, realizing for the first time that there were creatures of its kind on the other side of the distance.

In the next moment, this surprise turned into relief.

The man tilted his head slightly, as if he was laughing, or as if he was sighing.

He turned his gaze downward again and suddenly spoke.

"How many second-ring psionic skills do you have now?"

"——I have obtained four of them."

"Four?"

Under Gwenlin's respectful gaze, the man known as the "Rebel" stood up and began to walk down the stairs step by step.

And from the open right hand, with every step taken, countless microscopic particles gathered, and from the void, an outline spread out inch by inch.

Molecular Recombination
No, that's not right. It is the reconstruction of matter that has reached the "atomic level".

The terrifying psychic energy that was enough to wipe a city off the face of the earth also began to descend at this moment and froze in the middle of the second ring.

"Gwenlin, could you please leave for a moment?"

The man whispered.

Gwenlin was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied, "Yes."

She nodded to Song Shi, then quickly walked out of the room and closed the gate again.

There were only two people left in the huge space.

"I have read the files of Plosser, so I want to meet you - either as the 'chief commander' or the 'psychic'."

"I originally wanted to give you some advice as a way of thanking you... Now it seems that I took it for granted."

The man's voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear.

The reconstruction of matter has been completed.

He held the weapon and pointed it forward - it was neither blunt nor sharp, neither long nor short, and was similar to a four-sided vertical pillar of a "mace".

"The Enlightened One, Chakoro Vaughan."

Song Shi calmly pulled out the heavy knife, just like every time before.

"Free bounty hunter, Song Shi."
