How come you have such strong superpowers?

Wu You asked Si Yujie to isolate a space again.

When Wu You appeared in the gourd again, he already had a heavy-looking large-caliber sniper rifle in his hand.

It's the same pistol that Zhou Jian just took out.

This gun has no magazine, or more accurately, no magazine nest.

As for the barrel of the gun that extends forward, there are no air guide holes, flame suppressors, etc., it is just a barrel.

"This is it."

Wu You handed the large-caliber sniper rifle in his arms to Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi reached out to take it and found that although the gun looked heavy, it was actually quite good to use.

I don’t know if it’s because his physical condition has improved during this period.

"This is that special weapon...a general 'cutting-edge' weapon, just like ordinary firearms, everyone can use it. After all, the stone in the gun will not recognize its owner."

Li Zheng stood nearby, pointing to a row of small holes on the body of the sniper rifle, and continued to explain: "But other people probably can't use this gun. In addition, general 'cutting-edge' weapons theoretically have automatic charging. Characteristic, because stones that have reached a certain stage have a very obvious characteristic, that is, even if they are separated from the body, they can still absorb replenishing spirits from the outside.

The ‘cutting-edge’ weapon was developed based on this feature - a weapon that can be charged, used infinitely, and has huge lethality to the empowered person. It sounds very practical, right?

But the idea is good. In reality, the automatic charging feature only exists in theory... I have just said that the gun is built with fragments of 'stone', and this thing is extremely fragile after being broken into pieces. After shooting a few shots, let alone automatically absorb the spiritual energy, thank God if it doesn't completely shatter.

In fact, there are very few 'cutting-edge' weapons that can be used a second time after being charged. Especially after rapid bursts of fire, the stones cannot bear it and will break 100%. However, if you want to avoid the internal stones from breaking, , the only way is to let it sit.

To put it simply, it means to shoot once and then stop to let the internal stones rest for a while, but this has almost no practicality. "

"...That's why you said this thing is a luxury product."

Chen Lusi nodded slightly when he heard this, then looked down at the sniper rifle in his hand, thought about it, and asked, "What about such a large firearm?"

"That's what I'm going to say next."

Li Zheng continued: "Since portable 'cutting-edge' weapons are not feasible and can only contain stone fragments, which are too small in size, too weak in bearing capacity, and easily broken, what if we change to a larger container?

Then there are 'cutting-edge' weapons like sniper rifles. The stones built into these weapons are usually complete or large stone fragments. Facts have proved that this is useful, and the power of the firearm will be enhanced, but The shortcomings have still not been resolved.

That is - even if there is a complete 'stone' built into it, if it continues to explode, the stone must be broken... I can only say that stones, even if they can still remain active after leaving the human body, are really not suitable. As a continuous energy source, it can only become a consumable. "

Chen Lusi was thoughtful when he heard the words.

"You should have heard it, right?"

Wu You interrupted and laughed: "I have to say that Ji Xin is quite powerful. After she got your detailed information and learned that you could absorb external spirits, she asked Kunlun to make this weapon almost immediately. A 'cutting edge' weapon without stones.

At first, people from Kunlun were very confused when they heard about it. Let alone them, I was actually very confused. I didn’t know what the point of her having someone make such a weapon for you.

But then I thought about your ability to absorb external spirits, which was completely cheating, and I finally understood. "

"What Li Zheng just said, all the shortcomings of the 'cutting-edge' weapons with built-in stones... don't seem to be a problem in front of you."

"As long as your body is not harmed and there are enough spirits around you, you can keep pulling the trigger while holding the gun. You don't have to worry about stone fragmentation, resting, or the source of materials for making weapons.

Not only that, you can also actively adjust the power of the 'bullet'. As your rank increases, if you can gather external spirits in a wider range, the upper limit of the power of the 'bullet' will also increase. In other words, the power of this weapon will increase. The power will depend entirely on you. "

"Let's put it this way, if this really works."

"As long as you are willing, as long as the spirit around you is enough... then you can show the enemy what a 'cutting-edge' weapon is."

"..."

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment after hearing Wu You's words: "Isn't this just using me as a humanoid stone?"

"almost."

Wu You couldn't help but smile: "But don't you think this is interesting? Don't you want to try it?"

Chen Lusi looked down at the sniper rifle in his hand and pondered for a moment: "Then how should I try?"

"..."

Wu You froze when he heard this, then looked at Li Zheng and said, "I don't know."

Chen Lusi: "..."

"We will not absorb external spirits, and this weapon was not designed by us. Let alone us, Kunlun only made it according to orders, and they probably don't know how to use it.

When it was first brought here, the people from Kunlun asked us... what is the point of making these fire sticks? "

Wu Yousan smiled and explained: "Ji Xin asked the people over at Kunlun to leave a guide hole for you in the grip position for the soul to enter, and the compression device is also retained. This is all we know. As for the rest, you can only Find out for yourself.”

"……Understood."

Chen Lusi sighed, then weighed the sniper rifle in his hand. After thinking about it, he knelt down on one knee, picked it up, and put it on his shoulder.

But soon, he thought of something and turned around and asked, "By the way, does this thing have strong recoil?"

Wu You explained: "Haven't you tried it before? Theoretically speaking, what is shot is spirit, and there is almost no recoil."

Chen Lusi recalled it for a moment, then nodded. He put his shoulder against the butt of the gun, held the gun body with his left hand, held the grip with his right hand, and put his finger on the trigger.

then.

He glanced sideways at the handle, determined the position of the guide hole where the spirit entered, and then looked at the scope.

Behind Chen Lusi.

Li Zheng, Wu You, and Zhou Jian looked at Chen Lusi curiously and excitedly.

Zhou Jian glanced at Chen Lusi's gun-holding posture and seemed to want to speak...but after seeing his serious profile, he thought about it and suppressed the idea of ​​speaking.

Chen Lusi didn't pay attention to the looks of the three people behind him. After taking a deep breath, he held the handle with a little force.

The surrounding spirits began to gather towards his hands.

The whole process is extremely fast.

Chen Lusi has been frustrating the spirit balls for so long and has gained a lot of experience. Now he can roll out a big spirit ball in one second. Although the application scenario is a little different this time, he still needs to introduce the spirit into the sniper rifle, but that's not the case. How much time to spend.

Li Zheng and others also noticed the gathering around them, and immediately opened their eyes, preparing to witness the miracle.

Chen Lusi stuffed the usual amount of a spiritual ball into the sniper rifle. When he felt it was enough, he pulled the trigger hard.

puff--

It was very strange, a sound similar to something splashing out.

Immediately afterwards.

The spiritual energy exploded near the muzzle, and a spiritual energy firework burst into bloom.

Very gorgeous.

But the duration is just like fireworks, fleeting.

And apart from this gorgeous spiritual firework, no bullets were shot out at all.

Wu You and Li Zheng were stunned for a moment, with some surprises and differences. They looked at Chen Lusi and asked, "Failed?"

"..."

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, then turned around and frowned: "Well, I have a question. I can feel that the spirit has gone through a transformation process. What is this process?"

"Compression device."

When Wu You heard this, he immediately reacted and explained: "The main function is to compress the spirit extracted from the stone, and then stimulate it to be emitted. This is a standard 'artificial antiquities', and currently has three branches.

After all, if there is no compression and the spiritual power cannot be ejected to cause damage, then there is no need to look like a gun. "

Chen Lusi became even more curious after hearing this: "Then how does the compression device give the spirit aggressiveness? How can the spirit maintain its shape after leaving the body?"

"..."

Wu You was silent for a moment after hearing this: "I don't know this either, or it's not just me, but all the empowered people may not know."

"What?" Chen Lusi was stunned.

"Just now I said that the compression device is a standard 'man-made antiquities', but that's not quite accurate. Strictly speaking, it should be called a 'standard black box man-made antiquities'. There are three branches of compression devices, whether they are domestic branches, church branches, or Is the Sumerian branch.

In fact, they are all family heirlooms, and we modern people can only use them. If you ask me how the compression device gives the spirit aggressiveness, and how to make the spirit maintain its shape after leaving the body, I can only tell you that the former mainly relies on the compression device, and the latter mainly relies on the compression device. Relying on the particularity of stones.

But the specific principle is just like if you asked me why some empowered people can use out-of-body techniques and why others can't, I don't know how to answer. "

"...Then I probably know where the problem lies."

Chen Lusi was silent for a while, then asked: "You said that the spirit can maintain its shape after leaving the body because of the special nature of the stones. Can I understand that the spirits extracted from the stones naturally have the ability to leave the body? characteristics?”

"You can say that." Wu Yang nodded.

Chen Lusi said softly: "The spirit I just poured into it was sucked in from the outside, and there is no condensed stone in my body."

Wu You was stunned.

yes.

Originally, the 'cutting-edge' weapon stone and the compression device were complementary to each other and both were indispensable.

As an energy source, the stone needs to give the spirit the characteristics of being separated from the body, and the compression device will eject the spiritual compression that has the characteristics of being separated from the body.

But now Chen Lusi absorbed the spirit from the outside... which is equivalent to missing a step.

And this problem... seems to have no solution.

After all, no one knows what is special about the stones in the body of the empowerer who can release the out-of-body technique.

Wu You was silent for a long time, and then asked: "So it failed?"

Li Zheng and Zhou Jian also looked at Chen Lusi, a little disappointed.

"I'll try again."

Chen Lu thought for a moment, raised the sniper rifle on his shoulder slightly, absorbed the surrounding spirit again, poured it into the gun, and pulled the trigger.

puff--

Exactly the same.

The spirit exploded near the muzzle, turning into a gorgeous spiritual firework.

Because the spirit poured into Chen Lusi did not have ethereal 'out-of-body characteristics', the compression device inside the gun was activated and could only set off fireworks.

And to a certain extent, this is really like burning a fire stick.

Chen Lusi didn't give up and tried again, but there was still no change.

Li Zheng and Wu You sighed, probably understanding.

What a miscalculation...

"..."

Chen Lusi also gave up, three times. It seems that the probability of success in trying again is not too high.

So he slowly stood up from the ground, and then said: "It seems that I have disappointed you."

"without."

Li Zheng shook his head. Although he was indeed a little disappointed, he quickly put away his unnecessary thoughts: "In fact, we just had the mentality of giving it a try. Of course it would be best if we succeeded. We can accept it if we don't succeed. You don't have to There is a psychological burden.

I can understand it, and so can Ji Xin. "

Chen Lusi nodded, then looked at the gun in his hand, slightly lost in thought.

to be honest.

He was actually a little disappointed.

Mainly because he quite likes this type of modern firearms.

Wu You saw Chen Lusi looking down at the firearm, thought for a while, and proactively suggested: "Then let's go out first. Since it can't be used, you'd better use normal 'sophisticated' weapons."

"...No rush, I'll ask another question."

Chen Lusi came back to his senses, thought of something, and suddenly asked out of curiosity: "Since the 'cutting-edge' weapon can be changed into a form infused with spirit...Have any empowered people tried to inject spirit into their own bodies? This can trigger compression Is it a device? For example, an empowered person who can release the out-of-body technique, can he successfully shoot bullets using this weapon?"

"This... I seem to remember similar rumors. Wait a minute, let me ask."

Wu You was stunned when he heard this, then suddenly shouted with a smile and left the gourd.

Chen Lusi waited patiently.

About twenty minutes later.

Wu You returned and as soon as he landed, he immediately said: "Yes, yes. Kunlun told me that they had tried it in the chaotic era... but it was not practical. Compared with directly implanting stones, this method has a very high conversion rate. Low, the most important thing is that the empowerers who can release the out-of-body technique are basically one in a million, and they are all geniuses.

The more advanced ones, using spiritual release techniques, are far more powerful and practical than converting them into bullets.

If you ask them to use a 'cutting-edge' weapon with built-in stones for emergency use, that's okay, but if you ask them to pour soul into the gun, it's not as efficient as releasing a spell. Simply put, the consumption is not proportional to the power.

As for the lower-level ones, which don't have enough spirit in their bodies, they may only be able to shoot one or two bullets.

This is why Kunlun said that the weapons we made were fire sticks... But this is indeed feasible. Kunlun said that some top assassins would use this method in extreme situations, such as if the assassination target is too strong and unable to The only way to use magic to assassinate someone at close range is to make a surprise attack.

Although this is very rare, there were rumors about it a few years ago. "

"I see."

After listening to Wu You's words, Chen Lusi knelt down on one knee again and put the sniper rifle on his shoulder: "Then I'll try again."

"...the spirit you want to pour into your body?"

Wu You was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "It's not necessary. The effort and benefit are really not proportional. The spirit consumed by you shooting one bullet is probably enough for you to use 'First Line' three times. In this case, it is better to use magic." It’s a great deal.”

"no."

Chen Lusi shook his head, let go of the grip of the sniper rifle, stretched out his hand, and gathered the surrounding spirits again: "I remembered something... I seem to be able to change the characteristics of the spirit ball, so I want to try to see if I can give the spirit ball its characteristics. , which in turn activates the compression device.”

In the original Feng Zhen incident, there was a big man named Ruan Dun who had very strong defense.

When Chen Lusi faced Ruan Dun, the solution was to give the spirit ball the 'explosion' property and press it on his head.

It worked in the end.

The spirit ball exploded instantly, blowing away Ruan Dun's head.

"Huh?...Give the spirit ball its properties?"

Wu You and Li Zheng were stunned when they heard this.

The two of them haven't reacted yet.

In just one second, the spirit ball took shape.

Chen Lusi finally looked back at the three of them and asked, "By the way...if this gun is damaged, I shouldn't have to pay for it, right?"

Li Zheng subconsciously replied: "That's definitely not necessary, but you are..."

When Chen Lusi heard the exact reply, he did not answer, but gently held the spirit ball.

Technique - 'change characteristics'.

Conferred 'out-of-body' properties.

Grants 'burst' property.

Gives 'impact' properties.

Chen Lusi realized that the spirit ball was about to lose control, so he stopped thinking about doing more and stuffed the spirit ball directly into the gun through the spirit guide hole.

at the same time.

He held the grip of the sniper rifle firmly and put his finger on the trigger.

Click——

呲——

The spirit ball just entered the gun.

Chen Lusi hasn't pulled the trigger yet.

There was a sound as if some structure was breaking.

Immediately afterwards.

A row of suction holes on the top of the gun body suddenly emerged with blue spirit, gushing out as if pressure was being released!

At the same time, the gun made a low buzzing sound, as if it was responding to something.

When Li Zheng and Wu You saw this scene, they looked at the blue spirit spraying out from the top of the gun body, their mouths wide open, dumbfounded and at a loss.

no.

...to relieve pressure?

the other side.

Chen Lusi took a deep breath, refocused his attention, and then... directly pulled the trigger.

As if frozen in time.

Click.

The trigger was pulled.

The runes on the compression device inside the gun lit up, and the spirit ejected from the top of the gun body suddenly paused, then instantly shrank, gathered, and collapsed.

The blue spirit condenses into bullets, spins in the barrel, and then flies out quickly.

The moment the bullet flew out.

Blue energy waves spread from the muzzle.

Like fireworks exploding.

In the center of the fireworks, a bullet came out of the barrel, flew out at an astonishing speed, and disappeared into the distance instantly.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

until.

boom--

There was a deafening roar in the distance, strong winds rose suddenly, and black mist billowed in the gourd space.

And the whole space seemed to be trembling, as if it had received some powerful impact.

Li Zheng, Zhou Jian, and Wu You staggered and sat down on the ground, their eyes almost bulging.

"Fuck..."

same space.

Shu Li and Xia Panqiu also staggered and knelt down on the ground.

Shu Li felt the shock, looked at Xia Panqiu, and said in shock: "What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"

Xia Panqiu looked around and found that the shock had affected almost everyone. She was so shocked that she could not speak.

What's going on here?

Isn't the gourd an antique?

at the same time.

external.

Boom.

A slight muffled sound was heard.

Si Yujie raised her eyebrows, disappeared instantly, and appeared in the conference room.

Then, as soon as she saw the scene in the conference room clearly, she froze on the spot.

The gourd that was originally on the table... rolled directly to the ground for some unknown reason.

"...What did you do!?"

Si Yujie frowned, and the moment she reacted, she immediately reached out to touch the gourd and entered the inside.

I want to confirm if there was any accident.

As soon as she landed, she saw Chen Lusi put down the sniper rifle on his shoulder, turned around, and said seriously: "It works."

Wu You opened his mouth and stared blankly at Chen Lusi. After maintaining this state for a while, he suddenly got excited, reacted, and said loudly: "This shit has exploded! The bullets have exploded!! Who doesn't know? !!!”

Si Yujie: "...?"
