Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 158: Reversal of Contract and Psychic Skills

"But, we still have to clean up first."

Chakoro looked around.

Even though the destructive power has been restrained to a certain extent.

From the battle between the two men just now, this place was still a mess, with the ground cracking and sinking in pieces. The scorching flames melted a part of the alloy dome, which condensed into sharp irregular points as it slid down. The air boiled in the flames, giving people a feeling of suffocation.

If placed in a city, the aftermath of the two men’s all-out efforts would easily be enough to flatten an entire city block.

Chakoro snapped his fingers.

Time and space stopped.

The scorching air stopped flowing, and the floating dust particles could no longer move at all - as if someone had pressed the "freeze" button for the world.

Then, "freeze frame" turns into "regress"!
Within Song Shi's vision, the remaining flames collapsed and extinguished, the shattered fragments of the earth returned to their original positions, the broken earth healed again, and even the wisps of ashes that were burned out under the effect of [Embers] retreated and gathered from all directions, restoring the outline of the original things.

Under the molten alloy dome, the irregular prisms that looked like stalactites, melting and solidifying like wax torches, began to return to their original positions.

But in the blink of an eye, the entire hall returned to its original appearance.

Chakoro's power in the fifth ring.

【reverse】.

The man snapped his fingers a second time.

Then, it can be seen that the winding cracks on the surface of Song Shi's body faded away, and the red-gold flames reappeared and dissipated, and he forcibly exited the "self-immolation" state——

No, not "quit" at all.

It was obvious that Song Shi's condition was constantly regressing and returning to the state it was when he stepped into this hall!

The injuries from the previous fight, the aftereffects of the "self-immolation", and the consumed fire were all restored to their original state, as if nothing had happened.

"reverse"

But looking at this miraculous scene, Song Shi's emotions did not fluctuate.

It feels not as good as the "reversal" that Chakoro showed for himself when he was at the peak of the fifth ring in his previous life.

At that time, the opponent could even achieve the manipulation of "resurrection" by [reversal]. Reversing the dead, forcing the world to bow, reversing time, and giving the former life again.

Of course, this kind of "resurrection" still has some limitations.

——At least, even Chakoro cannot bring the enemies he killed back to life.

The "killing" of an ordinary person and the "killing" of a fourth-ring peak psychic are completely different things. To put it in the words of the Pan-Eastern Continental Union, the cause and effect represented by the two are completely different.

"Okay, now we can talk about business."

Looking at the restored environment, Chakoro nodded with satisfaction and said, "Ah, wait a moment, I'll call Gwenlin in."

The alloy gate reopened.

Outside the gate, Gwenlin stood upright, the etched circuits on her chest flickering in and out. When she saw the gate open, she stepped into the hall and saw this scene.

At the back of the hall, he saw his leader and Song Shi sitting on chairs respectively, with several large bottles of red-packaged drinks on the round table next to them.

As the administrative director of Enlightenment in Palose and Chakoro's personal assistant, she clearly recognized that the round table and chairs were made by Chakoro through on-site "material reconstruction", and the drink next to it was one of the main products of Enlightenment's subsidiary company [Chunguang Beverage Industry].

Because market assessment and production capacity are sometimes misjudged, Enlightened People often distributes various soft drinks that have not been sold out or are about to expire to members in the name of "welfare", in order to consume inventory and reduce storage costs - and as the current leader of Enlightened People, Chakoro himself must of course take the lead.

Anyway, no matter how much he drinks, it won't have any effect on Chakolo's body. "Hmm? Song Shi, you don't want to drink it? Is it not to your taste?"

Seeing that the other party didn't move, Chakoro was puzzled. Then he saw Gwenlin not far away and raised his voice again: "Gwenlin, come and sit here."

——Of course I don’t drink it.

Song Shi thought to himself, and the whole person did not move at all.

In my previous life, you piled up dozens of boxes of this stuff outside my room and were just short of pouring it into the bathtub. Now you want me to drink it?
Gwenlin did not sit down, but stood behind Chakoro.

Seeing this, Chakoro sighed but didn't say anything else.

"Song Shi, I've read Harold's report and know what you need." He picked up the drink beside him, took a big sip, and said, "Originally, I had some ideas before you came - but now, all these arrangements can be put aside."

Hearing this, Gwenlin's stand-in showed no emotion, but she was shocked.

——Because she was the only one besides Cha Keluo who participated in the formulation of the appointment plan for the special non-staff cooperation staff member "Song Shi"!
In that appointment plan, the other party was already regarded as an absolute elite. But now looking at the meaning of his leader, this is still not enough attention?

Song Shi raised his eyebrows: "So what are you planning now?"

As if he suddenly remembered something, Cha Keluo pondered for a moment and said, "Song Shi, you already have four second-ring psychic skills, the last one, do you have any idea?"

"【Scorched Earth】." Song Shi answered quickly.

"Is this so"

"But when I was promoted to the second ring and passed the trial of the path, the gift of the path was an extra vacant space for psionic skills."

"So this is not a problem." While Chakolo was thinking, Song Shi looked at him and said with interest: "I can accept it, but——"

It was obvious from Chakoro's words just now that he was trying to recommend or provide a psychic skill for himself.

——In the previous life, after the battle at the "Sky Tower Data Center" fourteen years later, the other party also provided a psychic skill.

But that is something from the fourth ring. At this point in time, even I am quite curious about what kind of psychic skills the other party will use.

".Extra space?" Chakoro's expression changed slightly, then he relaxed again and praised: "Your Dayuan Dao is so generous? A gift of this level, 'Extra space', was only obtained by me when I was in the third ring."

He nodded: "That's fine."

"But the zero element crystal infused with psychic skills is not in the Light Forging City at the moment. Even if I notify you now, it will probably take some time to be delivered." Cha Ke Luo smiled slightly: "As for what it is, let's keep it a secret for now."

"These days, we are temporarily at a ceasefire with the giant companies headed by Fubo Energy. You can take a few days off and take a look at Zhuguang City. This is the last bit of leisure time you have."

"As for the appointment plan."

"There's no need to do this kind of thing anymore." He said, "Song Shi, you can choose the mission at will according to your own preferences, and Gwenlin will be responsible for telling you the content of the mission. Well, as for the reward, logistics and supplies, I haven't taken care of it much, so you can ask Gwenlin directly when the time comes."

"Personally, I only want you to do one thing." The man slowly stood up: "—Witness."

He stood there, his eyes starting from Song Shi and looking around.

"From today on, witness the ending of us and the City of Forged Light."

The man's voice was neither loud nor forceful.

It's even light.

But at this moment, everyone could clearly feel the unquestionable will from his words.

"—this won't be long."
