Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 235 Return and Choice
laugh--

Cold white air puffed out, and soon, a hand pushed open the hatch of the deep-sea submersible.

Song Shi climbed out of the submersible and stretched his body in the studio.

The hands of the transistor clock hanging in the living room were pointing to twenty past four, early in the morning.

He sat on the sofa in the living room, and after a while, he yawned: "I'm hungry."

Lapis Lazuli said nothing as it stuffed a pile of pizzas, flatbreads, and protein paste into the microwave and set it to heat for three minutes. After a "ding" sound, it used gravity to control the placement of these things in front of Song Shi.

Unpack it, eat it, unpack it again, and eat it again.

Song Shi worked at a steady pace and quickly got these things done.

“It’s average. The ingredients in these restaurants are too low. Bad reviews.”

Song Shi made a comment, then pushed away the stack of empty lunch boxes, stood up and looked at the intelligent machine.

"What are you going to do next?"

Lapis Lazuli did not answer, but asked first: "How are you now? Do you need anything?"

"It's a little uncomfortable, but not a big deal."

Song Shi leaned back slightly and tapped his forehead with his index finger: "That guy is not bad, his will is stronger than I expected."

The collision of "wills" is the purest and also the most dangerous.

Even if he succeeded in knocking down the opponent, due to the opponent's condition, there would still be certain sequelae left. However, after tomorrow, these discomforts would be negligible.

In comparison, Song Shi is more concerned about "power".

To be precise, it was the spiritual energy from Yaoxingsan and Yujiyi that was devoured by himself under the rules of the abyss.

With the help of this spiritual power, he successfully pushed the "sparks" to twenty-eight, reaching the peak of the second ring.

But strictly speaking, these can only be regarded as "ownership" on paper, and I have not yet fully digested them.

Different from the redundant psychic powers of those [derivatives].

The spiritual energy from Yaoxing San and Yujiyi far exceeds the former - both in quality and magnitude.

This certainly gave him a much better improvement than killing the derivative, but the difficulty of absorbing it also soared.

If the former is a thin biscuit that can be easily swallowed, then the latter, especially the part about "Yaoxing III", can be described as millet mixed with gravel, which requires a lot of energy to be fully transformed into one's own strength.

Conservatively speaking, it will take at least a week.

"You also heard what Yao Xingsan said."

When he said this, Song Shi glanced at his left hand. On his wrist was a half-hollow, dark golden metal pendant.

When he came out of the deep submersible chamber not long ago, this pendant was lying quietly on the young man's chest.

——A gift from Yaoxing San.

The illusory things from the abyss were transformed into the reality of this moment under the influence of will and spiritual energy.

A promise from "intelligent machinery".

Although it was only Yaoxing San and Yaoxing San's projection that made the promise unilaterally on behalf of the omnics, considering the influence of the former sole leader of the omnics, and the fact that Lapis Lazuli was responsible for witnessing and endorsing it, the power contained in this pendant is enormous.

Even if the omnics were asked to kill a fourth-ring psyker now, they would most likely accept it.

As for changing to the fifth ring.

That's a bit unrealistic. First, the cost is too high, and second, with the current strength of the intelligent machines, they can't defeat it.
"I want to make formal contact with the Enlightened One," Lapis Lazuli said.

"Which identity?" Song Shi didn't look surprised. He nodded: "Lapis Lazuli or Attar? Which style are you going to use?"

——Using the name of "Lapis Lazuli", he became a rising star in the omnic industry, and when the time came, he would reveal his true identity. ——Or he could directly reveal the name of "Attar", come back from the dead, and try to directly take over the high-level authority of the omnic industry and unify the situation.

It answered quickly: "Lapis lazuli."

"I'm afraid Attar's current identity won't bring him much. Twenty years have passed, so there's no need to rush now." It paused: "Besides, my strength and memory haven't fully recovered yet."

"also."

Song Shi stood up and said, "Please set a time. I will take you there directly. But you will not be able to hide your identity from Cha Keluo. The specific cooperation depends on how you two discuss it."

"Song Shi, you don't have a preference?" Lapis Lazuli's voice sounded a little hesitant, and it slowly said: "My choice"

"You said it yourself, this is your choice."

Song Shi glanced at it and said, "I am neither Lapis Lazuli nor Attar, nor an intelligent machine. Don't tell me that you have forgotten what Yao Xing San said."

"But can 'freedom' that relies on others really be considered freedom?" Lapis Lazuli was silent for a moment, and repeated word by word: "This is not what the omnics need."

"of course."

Song Shi looked at the intelligent machine in front of him for a while, and suddenly laughed.

"If you're ready to hire me by then, that's another matter."

Lapis Lazuli was stunned for a moment.

"Freedom." It was stunned and said it subconsciously.

The other party smiled and snapped his fingers: "——Bounty Hunter."

······
It was clearly just an artificial eye, but when Abadet slowly opened it, an astonishing divine light shone.

But the next moment, the divine light disappeared.

“It’s still a little off.”

Abadet thought.

As early as four years ago, he reached the peak of Depth 4, and was only one step away from being able to transcend from a [Devil] to an [Abyss Lord]. From then on, even within the Zero Degree Network, he would be considered a real management who was of great importance and would not be discarded as consumables.

Unfortunately, until now, that last step is still just “one step”.

So close yet so far away.

".Tsk."

Rarely, the head of Zero Degree Network's intelligence and strategic analysis department in Zhuguang City felt a little irritated.

He was once listed in Zero Degree Network's high net worth talent training directory, but now, looking at Yu Jiyi from the headquarters, he had to admit that as a talent, the other party had a higher "high training net worth" than him.

He was already forty-four years old, but the [Lord of the Abyss] was still out of his reach.

The other party was only in his early twenties, but he had achieved the level of Depth 4 Demon with the second-level psychic power. When I reached this level, I was thirty years old and had the third-level psychic power.

He browsed through the list of high-net-worth talent training in this issue. Yu Jiyi is one of the most outstanding people in it. There is a high probability that she will achieve the fourth ring in the future. She can be said to have great potential.

".call."

After a few breaths, Abadet regained his usual indifference.

He clicked on the internal communication channel and was about to deal with the matter when a scarlet urgent secret message suddenly popped up.

[Sir, please go to D-7 Diving Center immediately]

[Repeat, sir, please proceed to D-7 Dive Center immediately]

[Worker number P243, "Yujiyi", psychic response and vital signs have disappeared! ]
