"Do you still need to tell me?"

Crushing the broken skull under his feet with his iron-soled boots, Ian shook his head slightly: "What kind of organization the Gnosis Institute is, Teacher Hilliard told me a long time ago."

The Academy of Truth and the Academy of Gnosis are the two major departments of the empire responsible for managing ascendants. Their influence extends to all aspects of the empire, and almost every ascendant has more or less contact with them.

For example, after Ian received the inheritance of the Wavesinger and became an ascendant, his name was sent to the imperial capital by Viscount Grant and registered in the "List of Legally Ascended Persons in the Empire" integrated by the organization under the "Academy of Truth".

The Gnostic Academy under the 'Gnostic Academy' is one of the highest universities in the empire. Many prestigious bachelors and outstanding scientific researchers have emerged from it, and many cutting-edge technologies in the empire have been nurtured here.

But just as things have light and shadow, under the lofty status on the surface, the ugliness in the dark is thrilling.

There is no need for others to say more, such as 'Bioalchemy is a group of lunatics who do human experiments', 'Psychics are all monsters who can read minds and distort other people's minds' and 'Don't go near an alchemist's laboratory. There will be explosions, toxin spread, curses, life-span-taking and other weird things happening there, these stereotypes.

Basic. It's all the result of being vacated by the Lingzhiyuan.

And most of these stereotypes are correct.

——They really did these things.

"The black armor should be the special operations team of the Lingzhi Academy."

After killing the opponent, Ian was able to carefully observe the opponent's situation.

This man who calls himself the deputy section chief of Gnosis Academy is about 1.9 meters tall, but has a thin body. He should be of some kind of special bloodline.

He wore a jet-black, smooth, carapace-shaped full-body armor, the joints of which imitated the structure of some kind of arthropod, leaving no trace of skin exposed. The full-coverage helmet, which resembled a motorcycle helmet, rolled aside, reflecting the lightning in the sky.

The special operations team of Lingzhiyuan has always been secretive, but as long as you are sharp enough and penetrate into the deepest dark sides of various places, you will find their presence everywhere.

No one knows what exactly these guys are going to do.

Many times, by the time the special operations group's plan is over, the locals don't even know they have been there, and they have even been tested as guinea pigs.

But the lucky person who accidentally encountered them and survived could vaguely sense a looming line from the actions of these guys.

Their actions in various places all have complete plans...layered and intertwined.

Just like this plan that happened in Ryan Territory.

A mixture of experiments from various projects such as 'resurrection', 'chosen experiment', 'echo', 'artificial psyker', 'memory manipulation', 'flesh distortion', 'prophet carrier', etc., merged into one place, it's like a new one. It is also normal, a sacrificial ceremony performed by the Crazy Baron for his beloved son.

"If it weren't for me, even if Sister Yingguang found out Baron Ryan's plan, it would only be Baron Ryan who bears all the blame, and they can easily escape."

Clenching his fists and raising his head, Ian looked around at the fragmented valley that served as a battlefield. He exhaled slowly and calmed down the emotions in his heart: "And I remember that Elder Puder seemed to have told me that our Chehalolvo family 'The action of exploring the labyrinth back then was also supported by the Gnosis Academy."

"It's really everywhere."

Not only that, Ian also remembered that his half-senior brother, the crazy Wiggs, seemed to have been rescued from the Gnosis Academy by Teacher Hilliard.

It's impossible not to hate Wiggs. No matter what the reason or mentality, Wiggs caused Hilliard to leave him early, and there was absolutely no way that Ian would have any good intentions towards him.

But let’s not talk about it yet, Wiggs has been killed by him.

Just regarding the Gnosis Academy matter, he must have been a victim at the beginning.

The experience at Gnosis Academy definitely had a huge impact on Wiggs.

And this influence has something in common with the characteristics of psychic children...

"Can't you tell the difference between love and pain..."

Ian turned his head and looked at the light spot next to Baron Ryan's body.

One of those psychic children has serious deficiencies in this area - this situation is very similar to depression and bipolar disorder.

Ian speculated that this was a disease of the soul.

This will cause the entire person to completely lose normal emotional perception, causing the psyker to continuously slide towards the abyss of pain and emptiness.

In other words, the forced awakening of spiritual energy is itself a disease?

Only the spiritual energy of the chosen ones is the truly perfect spiritual energy?

These guesses are not necessarily correct, or in other words, they are exactly what the Lingzhi Institute wants to find out in this study.

It has to be said that the mental state of Ila and other children as well as Wiggs is indeed a wake-up call for Ian.

He did feel that because of the prophet's spiritual power, he always looked at some things too calmly, making it difficult for him to have very violent mood swings.

After all, if the trends of many things have been known for a long time, what surprises are there in the world?

Plan your future as a matter of course, just like a spider weaving a perfect web. You don't need to hunt excitedly, you just need to crawl in the web and wait quietly for the arrival of your target.

This time, if the excitement in Ryan Castle had not been too great and the anger in his heart had been exposed by Sister Yingguang, Ian still believed that he would have kept the deputy section chief of the Gnosis Academy very calmly. , prepare various measures, and then press for questioning to try to obtain some information.

It cannot be said that this is not a good thing - rather, from the perspective of the prophet, this is definitely the best choice, with low risks and relatively large benefits.

"But just because you are a prophet, you have to occasionally choose some options that are not the best."

Patting his head, Ian sighed: "Otherwise, I will definitely be like other psykers, who induce 'psionic power' due to their 'extreme emotions', and then be affected by the power of 'psionic power' Involvement leads to more and more extremes.”

"Let me recall..."

Frowning his brows, Ian closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

After a while, the boy opened his eyes and his brows relaxed.

He smiled and nodded with a nostalgic smile: "It's okay. When I recall the past, although there is pain and sadness, I can still recall studying with the teacher, taking care of my younger brother and the beauty of life. I can clearly distinguish between pain and sadness. Love the difference.”

"I also love the world of Terra - well, psychics do tend to go to extremes. Fortunately, my mental state is very healthy."

Whether this is true is doubtful, after all, he himself is not a psychiatrist, but at least Ian feels that he is very healthy.

In a sense, this is enough.

Confirming this, he walked towards the light spots.

"it's all over."

Taking off his helmet, Ian calmly said to these remaining souls: "What do you want to say to me? You don't want to survive, although I don't think you want to survive either."

[Wow, Big Brother You is so beautiful, even better than when he was in the castle before! 】

Ila's cheerful voice still sounded. Although he was much weaker than before, his mood was still high.

This child is obviously happier the closer he is to death: [Ah, I forgot, I just wanted to say that we just blocked one of his summonses! 】

"……Thanks."

Ian raised his eyebrows. He had indeed thought that facing a powerful and unknown enemy like himself, he would definitely ask for help directly, so he planned to evacuate immediately after clearing the clues present.

Unexpectedly, these children actually have the power to intercept the summons.

In that case, there would be a lot of finishing time, and he could completely process the scene into something that no one could parse.

Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "I thought you wanted to ask me to cut him into pieces."

"After all, there is a high probability that the Baron's biological son was killed by them, and you psychic children were also deliberately created by them."

[Big brother guessed it right. His soul just wanted to escape]

This book is just a rant, but Linda responded to Ian's question seriously: [But now, he is in our hands]

At this moment, as the light flashes, a group of gray-white spiritual light can be seen suddenly appearing in the center of the blue light groups. This group of spiritual light is continuously torn and shattered by the light groups, and its fragments temporarily maintain the existence of the blue light groups.

The soul of the second-level ascender from the Gnostic Academy was caught and crushed by these children without even knowing it.

"Well done. But your danger has increased."

He smiled, then his expression returned to seriousness.

Ian stared at this scene, then raised his gaze and looked at the largest resentful light group: "So, besides that, is there anything else?"

"You want me to give you an easy ride? I won't do it." He said slowly: "So many ordinary people killed by you want you to die in pain."

"I am no exception."

[Of course, of course it’s painful! 】

They said happily in unison: [But at the end of this, we want to tell you a prophecy, big brother]

[A prophecy that does not have you, but should be related to you]
