I kidnapped the timeline

After talking with Lin Ran all night long, Feng Qi was arranged to stay in the room next to Lin Ran.

In the next few days, Feng Qi had a general understanding of the Hupo Research Institute branch base.

This is one of the many branch bases in Star City of Hu Po Research Institute. It has the eighth authority level. It is also called Hu Po Base No. 8. It is mainly responsible for the research of magic.

The base is now managed by the deputy director of the magic team.

Lin Ran is the leader of the second spell group of this base. He has a spell research team of thirty-eight people, and he also has three laboratories belonging to his group in the base.

Although he has no real power, Lin Ran's status in the base is unquestionable.

Through Lin Ran's narration, Feng Qi quickly understood the general situation of this sub-base.

Since he had just joined Hu Po Research Institute and was still in the internship period, he had not participated in any testing experiments of exercises and techniques in the past few days.

During this period, Lin Ran submitted a letter of recommendation to Hupo's senior management.

I hope he can join the exercise research group.

But the reply from Hu Po's senior management surprised Feng Qi and Lin Ran.

The reply given by Hu Po's senior management was that he hoped Lin Ran would tap into his talent in magic research and try to conduct research on magic.

The senior management of Hu Po seems to be interested in sending all capable talents to the magic department.

This behavior coincides with Feng Qi's speculation.

He felt that it was most likely that the forces in the field behind the scenes were controlling the Hupo Research Institute and allowing human geniuses to research the required spells for them for free.

Next, they decided to launch an investigation in this area.

On this day, Feng Qi followed Lin Ran to the No. 3 spell laboratory as usual.

The magic laboratory is completely different from the scientific research laboratory of Scarlet Research Institute.

Each laboratory is as big as a basketball court.

The furnishings inside are very complicated. The walls are covered with red-yellow talismans used to block the leakage of spiritual energy. The floor under the feet is also made of special forbidden magic stones produced in the field.

The layout here is designed to minimize the power of the spell.

The process of researching magic is full of instability, and explosions are more likely to occur.

Sometimes unstable spells can cause the caster to be counterattacked by spiritual energy.

Therefore, the first thing that the experimental testing site must ensure is the personal safety of the magic researchers and limit the power of the magic.

Only spells that have passed the initial laboratory test can be exposed to the outside world for subsequent testing and updates.

In addition to various forbidden decorations, there are also many instruments placed in the laboratory.

For example, the aura detector and the psychic detector.

These two machines can test the purity and quality of the spiritual energy released in the room, and better assist the research on the improvement of the magic.

In addition, there are also spell track recorders, spell fluctuation numerical detectors, and data correctors.

What caught Feng Qi's attention was the metal nutrient chamber placed in the corner of the laboratory, which reflected black luster under the light.

After asking Lin Ran, he learned that this instrument was the "Virtual Experimental Chamber", the latest scientific research product of Scarlet Research Institute.

Its function is to simulate the real-life environment for spell release simulation, and the internal virtual system can also record the details of the spell release in real time.

But in Lin Ran’s words, the simulation effect of this virtual game warehouse is not ideal and is rarely used.

After hearing Lin Ran's explanation, Feng Qi was very surprised.

The technology of the virtual future had been initially perfected long before he traveled through time.

Moreover, the Scarlet Research Institute has conducted many virtual reality simulation experiments, and the results have been unexpectedly good.

For this reason, the Scarlet Research Institute has even connected with the Future Research Institute, and is preparing to build a super factory of virtual game warehouses outside Star City after obtaining relevant technologies, and produce high-end virtual game warehouses on an assembly line to lay out the future.

But judging from Lin Ran’s explanation.

After so many years, virtual technology has not progressed, but has regressed.

But when he thought about it carefully, he understood the reason.

Obviously, the virtual technology released by the Scarlet Research Institute is a castrated version.

The full version is definitely not released to the public.

This can not only test the promotion effect of virtual technology, but also cover up a series of virtual technology research carried out by Scarlet Research Institute.

After all, actions such as building super factories will definitely attract the attention of external forces.

But as long as all parties believe that virtual technology does not pose a threat, this research can continue.

Everything is for safety reasons.

This semi-finished high-end virtual warehouse is obviously a smoke bomb released by Scarlet Research Institute.

Entering the laboratory, he and Lin Ran came to the data control console, called up the spell test videos from the past few days and started watching.

At this moment, a dialogue request popped up on a screen in front of the control desk.

Upon seeing this, Feng Qi immediately connected the video call.

A man wearing a base security uniform suddenly appeared on the screen, and he said:

"Team Leader Lin, here is your express package."

Lin Ran, who was sitting next to Feng Qi, heard this and nodded immediately:

"Send it to the laboratory."

After hanging up the video call and waiting for a long time, the security staff carrying the express box came to Laboratory No. 3.

He put the express box down, said hello and turned around to leave.

Feng Qi picked up the express box at this time and saw that the sender column was "Scarlet Research Institute".

"Memory clearing potion?" Lin Ran, standing aside, asked curiously.

"Well, it shouldn't be wrong."

After removing the packaging from the express box, what appeared in front of them was a black metal box.

There is also a fingerprint unlock button on the top of the metal box.

Fengqi is no stranger to this.

This type of metal box is used by the Scarlet Institute when transporting special items.

The box must be opened by relying on a specific method, such as fingerprint, iris recognition, blood recognition, etc.

If you try to break the box violently using non-specific means, the inside of the box will enter a self-destruction state, and the highly acidic substances extracted from the domain creatures will destroy everything inside.

At this time, Feng Qi stretched out his index finger and pressed it on the fingerprint detection area.

"Click!"

Accompanied by a crisp metal collision sound, a metal column slowly rose up in the center of the metal box, and the cold air rose.

When the ice fog dissipated, what appeared in front of them was a glass container the size of a Coke bottle.

It is filled with purple translucent liquid, and you can see countless small black dots suspended in the liquid, which is really weird.

Underneath the glass container, there is also an instruction manual.

After picking up the manual and checking it, he handed it to Lin Ran:

"There are 500 ml of memory erasing fluid in the glass container. If you calculate that each ml has 20 hours of memory, this bottle can erase all your memories within a year."

After hearing Feng Qi's explanation, Lin Ran, who had never been exposed to biotechnology, was curious, and then he opened the manual and started to read it.

"You take a look first, and I'll put the box away."

With that said, Feng Qi stood up and pressed the metal cylinder containing the "memory erasing fluid" back into the box.

"Click!"

There was a sound of metal hitting, and the box locked automatically.

At the same time, the three lights above turned green and entered the refrigerated storage mode.

Picking up the metal box, he walked straight out of the laboratory to his room, and then stuffed the metal box under the bed.

With this memory clearing potion, he no longer has to worry that the content of his communication with Lin Ran will be known to the Lord of the Mist.

But to be on the safe side, he decided to let Lin Ran try the potion's effect tonight.

After processing, he returned to the laboratory again.

At this time, Lin Ran was still reading the instructions and seemed to be very interested in this technology.

At this time, he came to the console and sat down.

Just as he was about to speak, his phone vibrated.

After taking out the phone from his pocket, it read "Wang Yi".

Realizing that this was a call from the Lord of Mist, Feng Qi immediately gave Lin Ran a wink, and Lin Ran nodded understandingly.

After the call was connected, the voice of the Lord of Mist came from the other end of the phone:

"Isn't it convenient for you to talk?"

"There's no one around me, tell me."

"I have made progress in my research on the Miracle Bracelet. Please come back when you have time."

Hearing these words, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The Miracle Bracelet was the first miraculous item he and the Lord of the Mist obtained in this timeline.

But it is different from the blood stone.

The Miracle Bracelet does not create derivatives in real time, and cannot be activated and used in any specific way.

Just guessing from the way the humanoid leader uses it, it may have something to do with the arrival of the power to summon the ancestors.

So far they have not been able to figure out how to use the Miracle Bracelet.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Lord of the Mist has always focused on the blood stone and did not pay too much attention to the miracle bracelet.

He didn't expect that just a few days after he left, the Lord of the Mist had already cracked the mystery of the Miracle Bracelet.

Thinking of this, he immediately said:

"I understand, I'll take leave tonight and come back."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the same place."

After hanging up the phone, he turned to look at Lin Ran:

"Team leader, I need to take a leave tonight."

"Brother Qi, is it the call from the Lord of the Mist? What happened?"

"Remember what I told you about the miraculous items?"

"Remember, especially the blood stone you described, it simply violates the law of conservation of energy and can continuously create pure blood stones without reducing the quality."

"And what you described about Xiao Hei, his ability to almost ignore all harm is really outrageous."

Feng Qi nodded at this moment and said:

"This time the Lord of the Mist should have mastered how to use the Miracle Bracelet. I have to go back to learn the details. This is a relatively important piece of information, and it may be of great help to the other one."

"Understood, your request for leave has been approved by the team leader." Lin Ran nodded with a smile.

…

After lunch in the evening, Feng Qi changed into casual clothes and left the Hupo branch base.

I took a taxi along the way and went straight to a hotel in the North District of Star City.

After he and the Lord of Mist came to Star City, they had been staying in this hotel and waiting for the opportunity to contact the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

After a while, he arrived at the door of the Mist Lord's room.

After pressing the button at the door, the door opened after a while.

Following the Lord of Mist into the room, he sat down on the sofa nearby, then looked up at the Lord of Mist.

The Lord of Mist did not speak, but raised his right hand at this moment.

I saw blood mist starting to spurt out from the palm of his hand, and finally turned into a blood ball.

When the blood balls dispersed, a bracelet made of green light floated above his palm.

"I already understand the efficacy of the Miracle Bracelet, and its use is related to faith."

"What do you mean? Tell me in detail."

Facing the inquiry, the Lord of Mist had a smile on his face, and then asked:

"Do you believe there is a God in this world?"

"If you don't believe it, in my eyes, the pillar gods you talk about are just high-dimensional beings, not omnipotent gods. Even if there are gods, I don't believe they will protect mortals."

Believers will always say that gods appear at a certain moment, and even say that they have noses and eyes, that gods shine, and that gods entrust them with dreams, etc.

But he never believed it.

Since there are gods who can help people in trouble, why didn't they appear when the domain invaded?

Why did human cities not come out to rescue the suffering when they encountered biological disasters from the realm and countless creatures were brutally killed and displaced?

Why does the God who believers say is omniscient, omnipotent, and capable of rescuing people from suffering always fail to appear at critical moments?

But he always comes out to make mysterious appearances when it doesn't matter.

In the end, the field was dispersed and it was the soldiers on the front line who fought bloody battles.

They built the Great Wall with their flesh and blood, fought to the death one after another, guarded the last line of defense for mankind, and built the five major cities today.

He does not exclude humans from believing in gods.

Even though the gods are illusory, they are the spiritual sustenance of a few people in this era, giving these people hope for the future and allowing them to live in hope.

But to him, gods are just decorations enshrined in temples.

In his eyes, the pioneers who fought bloody battles to protect human civilization were the true gods.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the Lord of Mist:

"Old fan, why are you suddenly talking to me about gods? Is this related to the Miracle Bracelet?"

"That's right." The Lord of Mist nodded immediately, and then continued:

"I was bored these days, so I wanted to learn more about the structure of human society, so I wandered around the north of the city, and ended up visiting a temple. That's when I discovered that the Miracle Bracelet actually responded..."

Listening to the Lord of Mist's story, Feng Qi gradually understood the situation.

According to the description of the Lord of the Mists, after he entered the temple, he found that the miracle bracelet actually responded to the worshiped gods.

He was very puzzled by this.

An investigation was launched.

As a result, he discovered a strange thing. He found that the Miracle Bracelet seemed to be able to absorb some kind of energy from those statues.

This energy is completely different from aura, is extremely difficult to sense, and does not radiate energy fluctuations outward.

So he started researching this energy.

To this end, I also read collections of human myths on the Internet.

It turns out that this form of energy is documented in mythological stories and is called "faith."

It is a purely spiritual force.

In mythological descriptions, this power is a tribute from the "gods" and can be eaten by the gods.

The Lord of the Mists scorned the human gods.

I feel that if humans really had the blessing of gods, they would not be in such an embarrassing situation now.

But "faith" is a type of energy that can be explained from a scientific perspective.

It is a special energy gathered bit by bit by pure mental power, and this special form of mental energy body cannot be utilized by normal ways of absorbing energy.

From this perspective, the Lord of Mist started research on the Miracle Bracelet.

After many attempts, he finally understood how to use the Miracle Bracelet.

The function of the miracle bracelet is actually to use the power of faith to bless yourself.

It's actually not difficult to use.

First, you need to build a statue for yourself, and then place a ray of your consciousness and pure blood inside the statue.

In this way, as long as this statue is worshiped by believers, it can absorb the worshipers' faith power.

The function of the green bracelet is to summon the power of faith to oneself regardless of distance, greatly strengthening one's various abilities.

The phantom behind the humanoid leader we met on the Black Island was actually its "body of faith".

After hearing the explanation from the Lord of Mist, Feng Qi suddenly felt enlightened.

When a phantom appeared behind the humanoid leader, his tribesmen knelt down and worshiped. At that time, they speculated that this might be the power to summon their ancestors, and they were worshiping their ancestors.

Now it seems obviously not.

In fact, it was the humanoid leader who made himself a god within his tribe, absorbing the power of faith from his tribe to strengthen himself.

After understanding the effect, he was a little surprised

In his opinion, the ability of the Miracle Bracelet seems to be incomparable to other miracle items, and its efficacy is really useless.

At this time, the Lord of Mist continued:

"By the way, I also discovered a strange thing during the testing phase. When I tried to worship my own idol, I found that my spiritual consciousness had a secondary connection with my body, and I could even transmit power to myself through the idol."

“What does secondary connection with the body mean?”

"I used the Miracle Bracelet to transmit power to the statue of God, and the statue used the power of the Miracle Bracelet to transmit this power to me. The Miracle Bracelet uses the statue of the God as a transfer station to transmit it to believers who have established a spiritual connection with the statue of God. Strength and ability.”

"This is somewhat similar to the way of borrowing divine power in human mythology."

After hearing the explanation from the Lord of Mist, Feng Qi suddenly felt enlightened.

After listening to the explanation of the Lord of Mist, he understood that the Miracle Bracelet has four functions.

1. Absorb the power of believers’ faith in themselves regardless of distance.

2. Establish spiritual connections with believers regardless of distance.

3. Transmit your power to believers regardless of distance.

4. Ignore the distance and control the acquired faith power to bless yourself.

Then he suddenly thought of something.

Believe in yourself?

So if he establishes a faith connection with another self, can he gain the power and blessing of the other self regardless of distance and space?

Based on the characteristics of miraculous items, he felt that it might be possible.

After all, the characteristic of miracle items is that they transcend common sense.

There is no miracle item whose efficacy can be explained theoretically.

Thinking of this, his heart rippled.

Blood source, purple soul, telekinesis... If he can borrow the power of another person, he will be able to walk every sacrifice line more smoothly in the future, and maybe even the narrator can be borrowed and used.

But these ideas were just speculations on his part.

It is completely unknown whether the Miracle Bracelet can obtain the power of another person across space, time, and distance.

In this timeline, he obviously couldn't prove whether this guess was feasible.

If you want to try the test, you must let another person have the Miracle Bracelet.

An idol is then built so that he can have a spiritual connection with its idol in a "devotee" way.

Then the other person can use the Miracle Bracelet as a transfer station to transmit power to himself.

Thinking of this, his eyes changed when he looked at the Miracle Bracelet.

Just when he was thinking about how to get the Miracle Bracelet, he saw the Lord of Mist grabbing the Miracle Bracelet and throwing it towards him:

"I have already studied the function of this thing for you. It's up to you how to use it in the future."

"I recommend you to develop believers, and then use the power of believers' faith to make yourself stronger. Occasionally, you can also lend some power to believers to make them stronger in your belief."

"Did you give this to me?"

Looking at the miracle bracelet in his hand, Feng Qi was stunned.

"You and I each have one. I said that whatever I have in the future, you will definitely have a share."

As he spoke, a bright smile appeared on the Lord of Mist's face.
