I write obituaries for the gods

"These areas of reality that have collapsed will eventually sink due to the sedimentation of the blue energy, and finally fall into the subspace, becoming a 'ruin'."

"By now, you should realize that simply acquiring the Azure Matter is not enough to become a Spirit Awakener. Generally speaking, people who are exposed to subspace contamination for extended periods without protection will gradually transform into subspace entities... Oh, speaking of which..."

Jürgen got up, rummaged around on the table for a bit, and then took out a report and handed it to Lin Chen.

"Although your psychic awareness is unknown, the gun you conjured up in previous tests contained a certain amount of subspace contamination."

"Section Chief Jiang suggested that you try to find a way to turn those things back into their original form. If not, try not to carry them around with you for long periods of time, and don't keep them at home. Although the pollution level is not high, it is still easy for accidents to happen over time."

Lin Chen glanced at the report, was slightly startled, and quickly grabbed his backpack from the side.

He pulled out the projected revolver shotgun from inside, making Jürgen feel ashamed.

"Dude, do you really carry a gun to work like that? Isn't it heavy?"

Then Lin Chen pulled out a second revolver shotgun from his bag.

This is the gun he picked up on his way to work today from the hideout; it's the one that killed Qingtian.

It's authentic and has spirit rings on it.

Professor Jürgen: ......

He looked at Lin Chen with obvious helplessness, scratched his head, and said:

"I can try to see if I can change back."

The result was simpler than Lin Chen's. He entered the "Mirage City," had a thought, and then felt the weight in his hands lighten.

At the same time, the blue substance surrounding the white city seemed to have increased.

Therefore, projection also requires the blue substance, but the amount is relatively small, so it was not noticed before.

Lin Chen estimated that this was calculated based on the quality of the projection, which essentially meant that he shaped the Azure Energy and turned it into matter in the real world.

Looking at it this way, he really shouldn't project everything in the future: at 2500 yuan a bottle of Blue Factor, he might as well just buy it directly.

Moreover, putting aside the cost-effectiveness issue, this thing also causes subspace pollution in normal times, but Lin Chen felt that he might be fine.

But he lives with Li Zhanyi and Huihui.

Money should be saved where it should be spent, and spent where it should be spent. Anyway, we're not that strapped for cash right now, so let's not think about projecting everything...

The ability to project images is best used in actual combat.

For example, if a gun is taken away, he can simply project an identical one.

His knife was taken away, and he also projected his image.

He would project his attack ten times for every ten attempts the opponent made, infuriating them to no end.

However, since we can't just project things out...

The plan to use the projector to get some gold and exchange it for money has fallen through...

Lin Chen sighed softly, feeling that he was getting further and further away from Section Chief Jiang's sports car.

"..."

Professor Jürgen observed the entire process of Lin Chen destroying the revolver shotgun with a look of astonishment.

He only noticed a slight change in the light near Lin Chen's body, accompanied by a faint sound of breaking glass.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Professor Jürgen pushed up his glasses. “Let me take a look with my instruments when I have time.”

"Okay." Lin Chen nodded.

"Then let's continue with the previous topic."

Jürgen paused, then continued:

"If the Azure Energy can cause humans to become abnormal, then what kind of beings are the Awakened Ones?"

"It's actually quite simple: pure blue matter does indeed possess strong subspace pollution, but some creations made from blue matter do not."

"For example, anomalous entities."

Have you ever heard the story of a girl who made a wish to a god and then received magic?

Lin Chen's brow twitched slightly:

"This...is like a fairy tale..."

“What about mythology? What about religion?” Professor Jürgen smiled faintly. “Odin asked the three Fates for the future? God sent sulfur and fire to Sodom? Since the birth of civilization, those entities born from the Warp have left their mark on history. Humans resonate with them in some way, some becoming mythical figures, and others becoming recorded calamities.”

"Of course, the truth of history cannot be verified; all of this is deduced from modern paranormal theories."

"The essence of psychic awakening is that humans have achieved a 'resonance effect' with anomalous entities. Those blue energies indirectly influenced humans, giving them the physique to contain blue energies."

"The specific mechanism of inclusion has not been clarified, which is why Gnostic awakeners are usually recruited from the general populace, because awakeners cannot be artificially created."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen recalled the day he first walked into the Investigation Bureau's lobby.

That day, he looked up at "Mirage City," and with just that unintentional glance, he entered that white city.

Was that a resonance with "Mirage City"?

During this period, Lin Chen would take a look at "Mirage City" every day when he came to the Investigation Bureau, but no matter how he observed the painting, he could not find anything unusual in it.

From another perspective, if that painting really is unusual...wouldn't the investigation bureau have noticed it?

"After all that, you probably understand why there are so many spiritual awakeners."

Professor Jürgen picked up his thermos, walked to the water dispenser, and poured himself a glass of water.

"Compared to ancient times, the phenomenon of subspace erosion is becoming more and more frequent in modern times. As more people come into contact with it, more people will unexpectedly resonate with it."

“Their awakened psychic awareness is different and not limited to a single ability; it is often a mixture of different abilities.”

"Therefore, in order to categorize psychic abilities, visionaries have subdivided all psychic abilities and arranged them into a spectrum, so as to facilitate a quick understanding of the abilities of psychic awakeners."

"That's not very important. Just remember this principle."

"The higher the purity of the spectrum, the stronger the ability—this means that a psychic awakener only has a single ability, but it is very powerful. For example, Zhanyi can only 'prophesy,' but her prophecies are very accurate."

“A less pure form of psychic awareness, such as an awakened psychic who includes ‘prophecy’ and ‘air manipulation’, may only see some fragmented and inaccurate pieces when he prophesies, and the upper limit of his air manipulation is just to create a gust of wind.”

“I see…” Lin Chen nodded. “What if a person’s spectrum contains more than fifty different kinds of psychic abilities?”

“There are indeed such people,” Jürgen nodded.

"Really?" Lin Chen's brow twitched.

"some."

"What would he be like?"

"He's no different from a normal person. He can predict the future 0.0001 seconds in advance, manipulate electricity but can only generate static electricity, enhance muscle density but only by 0.0001%, and manipulate airflow but can only produce something like a sneeze..."

Lin Chen: ......

It seems that many people are already spiritually awakened, but they may not even be aware of it.

......

Chapter 44 A Trapped Beast's Struggle (Third Update, Please Read On!)

In the director's office on the 50th floor, by the floor-to-ceiling window, Hua Molan gazed at the azure skyline, a rarity in the rain capital, but her face was full of worry.

She turned around, gave Jiang Zhengge a disapproving look as he sipped his coffee at the table, and said in a low voice:

“Jiang Zhengge, I emphasized last night that the investigation into Captain England should wait until things calm down.”

"There was no investigation. Didn't he just give himself away?" Jiang Zhengge shrugged. "He slipped up, so I'm sticking to it. Is that okay?"

“There’s a problem. This concerns the ecological balance,” Hua Molan sighed softly. “Pressing us like this will only force the foundation into a corner.”

"Isn't that a good thing?" Jiang Zhengge smiled. "The Foundation prides itself on being the cornerstone of Yudu. How has it managed all these past ten years? Now we can suddenly put their arrogance to a halt. Isn't that a good thing?"

"Anyway, I'll just say it here: we can't start a war of words right now," Hua Molan frowned. "Now, get out. If you don't get out, I'll throw coffee at you and let you drink your fill."

"..."

Five minutes later, Jiang Zhengge scratched his head and walked out of the director's office.

He didn't rush to leave, but lingered by the window, lit a cigarette, and looked down at the rain-soaked city from the fiftieth floor.

"A cornered beast's struggle," Jiang Zhengge chuckled lightly, "a newcomer arrived, and now even the rainy season is about to change?"

He suddenly felt that fate was a very strange thing: Lin Chen was just dragged into the situation without knowing why, but he had disrupted the binary balance that had existed in Yudu for so long.

The extent of the changes was so great that even Hua Molan, known for her radicalism, became conservative.

If the investigation bureau can't win a media war, then find a partner.

Jiang Zhengge took out his phone and searched for names in the files.

He quickly identified the partner he had previously selected:

Shen Xuanyi, interim director of United Concrete Group.

"Let's observe for a few days, and then let the young people get involved," he muttered.

......

After the topic ended, Lin Chen and Professor Jürgen talked a lot, from things like spectroscopy to their views on the current situation.

“There’s going to be a lot of commotion in the rainy season,” Professor Jürgen said. “The peaceful days are numbered.”

Before they knew it, it was noon. Professor Jürgen glanced at his watch and said he still had projects to deal with, asking Lin Chen to come and pick up the Azure Crystal later.

Before leaving, Lin Chen asked Professor Jürgen one last question:

"Professor, if psychic beings are the product of anomalous entities and human resonance, then..."

"Where is the demigod?"

Upon hearing this question, Professor Jürgen paused for a moment and put the experimental equipment he had picked up back down.

“Demigods do indeed possess blue energy within their bodies, but unlike those who have awakened spiritual awareness and need to replenish it with blue factors, they generate blue energy naturally within their bodies, and it is almost inexhaustible, much like a physical being.”

"So, compared to humans, demigods are more like anomalous entities?"

Lin Chen nodded, then asked again:

"Do you think demigods can be artificially created?"

“At least for now, it’s hard to imagine that even a Spirit Awakener would be eroded and collapse if injected with too much Azure Energy,” Professor Jürgen shook his head. “Moreover, almost no one has done any related research. After all, the identity of a demigod from outer space is a consensus.”

"..."

Lin Chen went to the cafeteria, where he found Li Zhanyi. The two had lunch together and then returned to the office of the First Department.

As Lin Chen walked down the company corridor, he clearly felt that he was being stared at all times, as if everyone had recognized him overnight.

“I already told you, you’re an action star,” Li Zhanyi blinked. “I heard that Lucy bragged about you a lot last night when she was drinking, saying you were some kind of John Wick, Leon S. Kennedy or something…”

"It can't be that exaggerated, right..." Lin Chen said, feeling embarrassed.

"She likes to talk nonsense when she's drunk, there's nothing I can do about it. She even said before that I was a fairy descended from heaven, and that my looks surpassed 99.999% of carbon-based life forms in the world..."

Hmm... that doesn't seem like an exaggeration.

Lin Chen spent the afternoon under this debuff of being the center of attention.

Section Chief Jiang didn't assign any tasks, so he had nothing to do and could only slack off at his workstation, looking at the abnormal entities in the database and learning about some past anomalous events.

At first, Lin Chen felt a little nervous, always feeling that he would be called out at any moment and then be assigned to various dangerous missions.

This tension lasted for a week.

Nothing happened for a whole week. The closest Lin Chen ever came to the smoke of battle was when he went to the shooting range with Li Zhanyi.

Sometimes he would enjoy his leisure time at his workstation, and sometimes he would step into the atmosphere of their complaints when he passed by the Second Department's office on his way to the restroom.

Suddenly I understand why Section Chief Marcus was being so arrogant...

"..."

Within a week, Lin Chen kept an eye on the streaming media: the incident of Qingtian's death gradually subsided, and online discussions began about various deeds of "Captain Britain".

This made Lin Chen feel a little sad. Just a week ago, Qingtian was the star of Yudu and the focus that the foundation was trying to cultivate.

Even the fact that he killed an entire Foundation squad during a live stream was erased by his lie that he "fell into despair due to guilt and injury."

As the controversies surrounding Qingtian faded, he was gradually forgotten by the public, like a popcorn movie that had finished its run.

After being idle for too long, Lin Chen felt he couldn't stand it anymore.
