Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 183 The future is long
"Yu Jiyi" stretched out his right hand.

There seemed to be nothing around her, but there were illusory outlines - four nearly transparent, hazy phantoms with only rough human outlines quietly emerging.

Their bodies are so light that they dance and circle in the wind with the "Yuji Instrument" as the center.

——Psionic Skills: [Mind Servant].

In the next moment, these four snow-white phantoms swooped towards Song Shi!

With the four phantoms as anchors, layer after layer of psychic attacks targeting the mind followed one after another. Even though each attack was insignificant, the intensity of these mental attacks was rapidly increasing due to the effect of their joint encirclement and constant echoes and overlaps.

——Psionic Skill: [Echo].

There was no use of psychic skills specifically used for attack such as [Scream] and [Psychic Blast]. The mental attacks unleashed by the "Aftershock Instrument" at this moment were all pure psychic strikes, extremely simple, and without any special effects.

But “simple” also means one thing.

——That is "purity".

In the encirclement formed by four phantoms, with the repeated reverberations and overlaps of [Echo], the energy levels of these psychic attacks continued to rise. Facing this pure psychic energy, any fancy shortcuts were difficult to use.

Either evade, or confront it head-on with pure psychic energy to suppress the former!
But at this moment, Song Shi actually stood there, not moving at all.

He turned his head, moving his gaze away from the "Yuji Instrument" and towards the phantom that was approaching him - the latter was moving very fast and was already within fifteen meters.

At this distance, he could clearly see the appearance of these phantoms.

Transparent, hazy, and blurred, the body is somewhat like snow-white mist, constantly dispersing and gathering.

There is only one place where everything is completely different.

——The faces of these four phantoms.

The burly man on the upper right has a fierce look, with a scratch dividing half of his face in two. The woman in the front is probably in her early 40s, with a beautiful face after plastic surgery, but her eyes are gloomy.
Some of these four faces are already blurred, as if smoothed by sandpaper, while others are still very clear and lifelike.

"Sure enough." Looking at these faces, Song Shi nodded slightly as if he was completely sure of something: "It is indeed you."

——“The mob”, I am still afraid of it.

In my previous life, after I was promoted to the second ring, I first left the Pan-Eastern Continental Federation and went to Ye'nan for a while before entering the territory of the Corporate Alliance.

That was when he first joined the Enterprise Alliance and, by chance, he met Yu Jiyi - and thus, all the conflicts arose from that.

The path of a psychic is never entirely smooth.

The extraordinary organs of [Transcendence] may go out of control, the self-truth firmly believed by [Truth] may be defeated, and the psychic of [Great Source] may be devoured by the power of the Great Source.
However, psychics on the path of [Consensus] will inevitably come into contact with the minds and memories of others, which is an extremely dangerous thing.

Just like those cyber-psychopaths who are heavily addicted to simulation games or have too many memory chips inserted, falling into cognitive confusion and losing themselves.

Even though [Consensus] can enhance the psychic's resistance in this regard, those who drown are often good swimmers. On the road of [Consensus], there are always losers who collapse due to too many memory fragments, confused minds, and cognitive disorders, and become crazy or simply die.

And Yu Jiyi chose a special path.

She devoured others almost without restraint, absorbing all of their memories and consciousness and integrating them into herself - street wanderers and corporate people who failed in their missions, ordinary civilians and prostitutes in bars, no matter who they were, she accepted them all.

When the two met in their previous life, Yu Jiyi had already advanced to the third level of [Consensus], and no one knew how many people she had consumed.

This is why she is called "the mob".

However, Song Shi knew clearly the other party's real purpose in embarking on this path.

——It’s just “polishing”.

If genius is considered a smooth and beautiful gem, then the mediocre people who make up the vast majority are rough and inferior stones.

But even “gems” are not born so smooth and gorgeous. They need to go through a complex and lengthy polishing process with sandpaper and grindstones in a workshop before they can shine brightly.

This is Yu Jiyi's path.

With the consciousness of mediocre people who devoured at will, it gathered into a huge and turbid sand sea, and the rough gemstone named "Yujiyi" was placed into it to polish it into its magnificent true appearance.

Either you drown in it, collapse yourself, and become a part of mediocrity, or you use it to hone yourself and climb up, achieving complete blooming.

This is the road called "the mob"!

In his previous life, he had actually completed this extremely dangerous tightrope-walking path, and had made significant improvements in all aspects, achieving an extremely pure and magnificent spirituality. He entered the third ring and became one of the most outstanding of the younger generation of [Zero Degree Network].

——Then, the two met by chance.

At that time, I didn't expect that I would suffer a loss just after entering the corporate alliance.

Song Shixin thought.

At that time, he was barely in the upper second ring, while the other party had been promoted to the third ring for several years. In addition, he had just joined the corporate alliance, and he had no luck in timing and location, so he was suppressed and pursued by the other party who could mobilize the resources of the [Zero Degree Network] for quite a long time.

It's not about hatred.

Just a pure "want".

With her outstanding third ring [Consensus], after the initial brief encounter by chance, Yu Jiyi had already seen how brilliant and dazzling the free bounty hunter who called himself "Nan Dou" was.

That is a talent that could only be matched by two or three people in the entire corporate alliance.

After she had polished herself with the "mob", Yu Jiyi's next step was to use each gifted person as a mirror to reflect and contrast her own shortcomings. She wanted to "eat" Song Shi, constantly fight and learn from the latter's consciousness, make up for the deficiencies, and then turn it into the cornerstone for her to climb higher.

Strictly speaking, Song Shi does not reject this kind of behavior.

It was only natural that the other party wanted to kill him and devour his consciousness. There was no hatred - how could there be hatred?

Those who kill will be killed. "Song Shi" has killed many people, so there is no reason why he cannot let others kill him.

It’s just that the other party’s behavior is a bit disgusting.

As he was escaping and fighting back, the other party devoured most of the people he had come into contact with during the chase, and then reappeared in front of him - not simply reproducing those people who were familiar or unfamiliar, and talking to him in their appearance and tone.

She took out the characteristics of those people at the same time and made them appear on her own body.

Just like a naked stitched corpse, with just one glance, Song Shi could clearly feel the faces of all the people he met along the way at the same time.

This may disturb Song Shi's mind, or it may be completely useless.

For this uncertain possibility, Yu Jiyi took action without hesitation - in a sense, she did succeed, and she was indeed disgusted at that time.

It was also during the second half of this long chase that Qimingzhe finally became aware and sent people to provide support, cooperating with him to completely defeat Yu Jiyi, laying the initial foundation for future cooperation.

This is also one of the reasons why I am willing to stand on the side of the Enlightened One.

And later on.

When he knew that Yu Jiyi had reached the peak of the third ring and was about to enter the fourth ring [Sublimation], he, who had also reached the peak of the third ring, traveled a thousand miles in half a month with the assistance of the Enlightener and an Abyss Lord, and killed four of the opponent's incarnations in a row - not the "temporary remote substitute" in front of him at this moment, but more like the "external incarnation" in the legend that required a lot of effort to create.

According to the usual statement of the Pan-Eastern Continental Union, after the incarnation was shattered, Yu Jiyi's "seven souls and six spirits" were shattered and severely damaged. Not to mention continuing to advance, it is even a problem whether she can maintain the third ring realm.

Unfortunately, the opponent's last incarnation, or the real body, was hidden in the headquarters of the [Zero Degree Network]. Until he died in the battle, he never found a chance to kill it. This was one of the few regrets in his previous life.

Unexpectedly in this life.
It can be made up so quickly.

Facing the high-speed flying phantoms formed by the people swallowed by the Yuji Instrument, Song Shi stepped forward and slashed out with one blow.

And before the heavy assassin fell, a red-gold burning wind blew, and the flames gathered and spread, swallowing everything in front!
Under the effect of scorched earth, the ruins of the warehouse have now become Song Shi's territory.

The first second.

Song Shi took the layers of spiritual attacks on his mind head-on, and the spiritual energies of both sides were engaged in a pure struggle within their consciousness.

At the same time, the four snow-white phantoms ignited at the same time, like burning toilet paper, and the red-gold burn marks quickly spread along the edges and swept across the entire body.

Everything within the "scorched earth" will be eroded, and anyone standing there will be continuously burned.

The third second.

The three phantoms burned out, and when Song Shi was about to rush in front of "Yu Jiyi", the latter decisively detonated the last phantom that was about to burn out. The misty gaseous impact suddenly burst out, and with a violent swing, even the nearby flames were temporarily emptied.

But in the next moment, a ray of red light shattered the impact, wrapped in a stream of fire, and slashed again.

——Slash into the chest of "Yujiyi"!

Fourth second.
The dust has settled.

The burning wind suddenly shook, and a figure flew backwards, leaving a long scratch on the ground, and then was forcibly stopped - just like someone inserted an iron spike, causing the moving object to come to an abrupt stop.

"Yu Jiyi" lay weakly on the ground, lowered his head, and looked at the straight blade that cut into his heart.

She raised her head again and looked at the young man who was stepping on her abdomen and looking down at her.

Deep in her pupils, in that moist luster, an unprecedented, undisguised joy began to gradually emerge.

She stared at Song Shi as if she had seen some rare treasure and wanted to possess it, carefully playing with every piece of it.

Even the lapis lazuli behind her seemed to no longer attract her.

“…Oh, I lost.”

Slowly, the woman sighed and showed a distressed expression: "A temporary substitute is really no match for you."

"Let me ask you one more question... You won't run away, will you?" Song Shi said gently.

This body is certainly not "Yu Jiyi" herself. She just remotely took over a nearby deep diver and fought as a temporary carrier. It is far from being a real "incarnation".

But considering that they came so fast, the other party had indeed arrived in the City of Forged Light as Lapis Lazuli guessed.

Yu Jiyi tilted her head.

She raised her right hand, gently touched the young man's cheek, and smiled: "It takes time."

So Song Shi also laughed.

He looked at the woman under him and said happily, "There is a long way to go."

The next moment, Chongshi crushed the bones and internal organs, and flames gushed out, burning the body to ashes.
