Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 370 [Bad Tribulation]

He fled hundreds of miles in one night.

They were still in Anning City last night, and when the morning glow rose the next day, Song Shi and his companions had arrived at the border of Baishu County.

It is almost nine o'clock now, and the Academic Council has begun a new day of operation. Employees from the workshops go to their workstations, and researchers from universities continue to work hard, trying to grasp the vague inspiration to further advance their research directions.

"——My purpose?"

Song Shi stood in a collective housing room. In order to avoid unnecessary social disputes, trivial matters and waste of resources, the [Academic Council] built collective housing for employees, a kind of complex apartment building, with unified occupancy and unified management.

"I thought you would ask sooner."

Song Shi had no psychological burden about breaking into a private house and looked at the layout of the room naturally.

The Council of Knowledge has not skimped on this aspect. They believe that appropriate welfare can stimulate higher work efficiency. These collective houses have undergone meticulous interior design. They are not luxurious, but they are definitely comfortable.

On the bedside table, there was a group photo. The man, who had changed into casual clothes, was hugging his wife and daughter, and showing a happy smile from the heart to the camera.

Song Shi turned to the back of the photo frame and saw a sentence printed on it.

【Everything for the future】

At this point in time, the Council of Knowledge's socialized care system hasn't started yet...

Then, Song Shi looked at Ai Lu again.

The latter just asked this question after evacuating all night long.

"First, it's still that point." Song Shi leaned back on the swivel chair, turned around twice, and said calmly, "I think."

Then come.

"But if you really want to add something to it."

Song Shi smiled: "Do you know the 'Three Disasters'?"

Ai Lu thought for a moment and said slowly, "There are great disasters in the world. Each great disaster has four intermediate disasters: creation, maintenance, destruction, and emptiness. Each intermediate disaster contains twenty minor disasters. War, epidemics, and famine are the three minor disasters, which begin at the end of the reduction disaster in the maintenance disaster."

"Fire, wind, and water are the three great disasters that arise at the end of the catastrophe."

Ai Lu chewed on a few words, and suddenly raised his head: "You asked for the fire among the three great disasters?"

"——Every great calamity is a calamity for attaining enlightenment."

"And the three major disasters and the three minor disasters are all part of the calamity of enlightenment. In our East Continent, there has been a myth since ancient times that the Emperor of Heaven went through three thousand disasters before he succeeded in attaining enlightenment."

Song Shi sighed and said, "Do you still remember the battle at Wuxu? To be honest, Wang Chenlie's 'Five Phases Rotation, Five Punishments Destruction' was too powerful. I actually lost based on that move alone."

"I reflected on it later and realized that my offensive methods are still a little lacking, so I want to take the Great Three Calamities Fire that symbolizes the 'Calamity of Enlightenment' to make up for this."

".Ritual of the Psychic Arts."

Ai Lu murmured, "So that's how it is."

"——【Bad Tribulation】." Lapis Lazuli suddenly said: "I searched the database and this is the psychic skill that best fits your description. This is it, right?"

"good."

Song Shi clapped his hands and praised: "Creation, stasis, destruction, and emptiness, after all, the time when the three great disasters were born is the destruction catastrophe."

"The ritual to achieve [Bad Tribulation] is very simple."

Song Shi looked around at the two and said, "We just need to transform into the 'Calamity of Enlightenment' and use it to produce some results."

"Hearing the Truth in the Morning"

The young man raised his finger again and pointed to the ceiling.

"It is enough to die at night."

"Even when the Buddha was at the Bodhi tree, he had to go through the trouble of Mara to disturb the mind of the Brahmin, and only after that did he truly achieve enlightenment. Then how can these seekers of the Council of Knowledge achieve the results they want without going through the disaster?"

"——I am on this trip."

Song Shi laughed wantonly, and in a trance, it seemed as if a flame suddenly rose, and the young man's face became bright and dark: "I want to be their 'Catastrophic Tribulation' and help them fill the vacancy of this catastrophe!" "Okay, okay, okay." Ai Lu's brows relaxed at once, and he nodded solemnly: "I will help you."

"Oh, right." Song Shi snapped his fingers, pointed at Lapis Lazuli, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your imprisoned fellow omnics must be rescued. After all, this is our main task."

As Song Shi spoke, he seemed to suddenly think of something and took out a metal pendant from his arms.

It was a half-hollow, dark gold badge.

"Hey, Ai Lu, do you know what this is?" Song Shi spread out the badge: "Friendly reminder, it's related to intelligent machines."

Ai Lu noticed keenly that Lapis Lazuli was obviously stunned for a moment.

Just a few seconds passed and the latter remained silent.

"I don't know." Then Ailu answered.

"This is the relic of Yao Xing San." Song Shi smiled and said, "Yes, it's the Yao Xing San you are thinking of."

At this moment, Ai Lu's expression changed significantly.

It wasn't until a few seconds had passed that he calmed down, but he still couldn't help but speak: "Legion, Yaoxing Three?"

"Exactly."

Song Shi stuffed the badge back into his arms: "This was given to me by Yao Xing San himself—"

He looked at Lapis, who understood.

So it slowly stated it.

——Those about the identity of "Meteor" Attar.

".Is that so?"

Ai Lu whispered, even his state of mind was greatly affected at this moment.

He had made some guesses about the identity of this intelligent machine that was traveling with Song Shi, and also wondered whether it was related to the [Freedom Revolution].

After all, the only information circulating on the Internet is about the battle of Zhuguang City.

But the other party's true identity was one of the core followers of the former [Legion] Yao Xing San, which was still surprising.

"Since we are going to rescue them together, there is no need to hide this kind of thing." Song Shi pulled aside the curtains casually: "Well, let's work together?"

So the three of them opened the electronic map.

"We are currently close to the border of Baishu County. A little further ahead is Sanping County. The outpost has probably received a martial law order, but it doesn't matter to us."

The configuration of his team is enough to capture a city. How can he possibly stop them with just the outposts within the county or province?

Of course there are ways in which the Council of Knowledge can threaten him and others, but this is definitely not a routine deployment like this.

"After leaving Baishu County, the next step will be easy. The research projects of the Council of Knowledge are all public, at least most of them are public. Lapis Lazuli will be responsible for searching and making a summary table, and I will be responsible for selecting. I have some experience in these areas."

As he was talking, Song Shi suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Ai Lu: "Ai Lu, I want to ask you again, are you determined to save everyone?"

Ai Lu did not notice the word "again". He just remained silent for a while and then spoke.

"As we speak, across the Council of Knowledge, beyond my sight, there are things like 'mind-transmutation' happening."

"Yes, I want to, but I can't do it." He said, "But I still have to do it. If I don't, I won't be able to save even these few people."

Song Shi smiled, with a hint of nostalgia in his smile, as if he had heard something familiar.

Maybe one second, maybe two.

"I don't have any obsession with saving everyone."

Finally, Song Shi walked to the window and spoke slowly.

"——Let's go, let's go to Sanping County and fight."
