Infinity Throne

"..."

"..."

five minutes later.

"You actually hate the food delivery AI? Do you still have humanity? Are you addicted to playing?"

Yi Lin looked dumbfounded at the "takeaway" that had been knocked to the ground. The fresh meat exuded an alluring aroma, which was a bit of a pity.

"It's not important. What was that move you just made? Magic?"

But Molly couldn't forget the coffee liquid that was still in mid-air.

Hearing this, Yi Lin also closed her eyes and recalled the scene just now.

Because the "spiritual" attribute was raised to more than 10 points with the ghost energy BUFF in the Ghost Mist Mountain, Yilin also naturally unlocked the first layer of "spiritual lock" and regained control of the power of telekinesis.

This ability, for the "previously" Yi Lin, was already at his fingertips and extremely proficient.

There are even many tricks to play.

In fact, as early as three years before she was reborn in this timeline, Yi Lin had tried to use the method in her memory to drive telekinesis.

But because the mental attributes were too low at the time, there was no reaction at all.

Unable to lift even a grain of gravel.

So in the past three years, Yi Lin also gave up efforts in this area.

"My current mental attributes are only 6.4... Could it be that the first level of mental lock is loose?"

Yi Lin stared at the cup on the table. The next second, the empty coffee cup shook slightly.

As Yilin activated his telekinesis, his psychic energy value dropped a little to a degree visible to the naked eye.

Suddenly, Yi Lin couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, Hundan, I want to ask you something!"

Molly stretched out her white palm and waved it in front of Yi Lin a few times. She didn't notice the cup shaking slightly.

"Haha, it's forbidden."

Yi Lin shook his head and didn't explain much.

"Hmph...another forbidden matter."

Molly already knew Yi Lin's identity and roughly understood that Yi Lin had some weird skills.

So although she was as curious as a cat scratching its itch, she was smart enough not to delve deeper.

Yi Lin ordered another takeout and asked casually: "I thought it was about time you came to the door. Where are the things?"

"How do you know?" Molly's expression was slightly startled.

"Didn't you promise to help me with the 'retest'? You wouldn't have forgotten it, right?"

But in fact, after Yi Lin obtained the status of a "member of the special group", even if Molly didn't help, Yi Lin could solve the problem by herself.

It's just a little troublesome.

And it requires a little bit of privilege.

Moreover, the Xiao family incident has been taken over by the special team, and Gu Sinan and Xu Zhiyong no longer need to investigate the cause of Xiao Yang's death.

Furthermore, although Xu Zhiyong didn't say it, he vaguely guessed Yi Lin's hidden identity.

Even if Yi Lin showed an astonishing improvement in his attributes in the "retest", it would only be in the news and not a big deal.

It really doesn't work, so this retest... is nothing more than an accident.

However, Molly didn't think too much about it. Seeing that Yi Lin had already guessed the purpose of her visit, she didn't hide it anymore and happily took out a small medicine bottle from her bag.

I saw a handwritten label on the small bottle.

Like Molly's handwriting.

"NT-046".

Yi Lin looked strange and glanced at Molly.

No matter how you look at this little bottle, it looks a bit like a legendary one...

Three no products.

…

…

So the day came for the official retest.

Every student's face is full of complex expressions such as nervousness, excitement, and eagerness to try.

During the retest, authoritative personnel from specialized certification agencies will come to the class with a special "attribute tester" to register each student and test their attributes.

Everyone is familiar with this process, so there is not much explanation.

After entering fingerprints and iris, the tester will automatically read the student's personal information and conduct the test on-site.

Cannot be faked.

It also eliminates the possibility of cheating to some extent.

Of course this is not 100%.

For example, Yi Lin is about to cheat in reverse at this moment.

Yi Lin looked at the translucent pill in her hand.

This one is "NT-046" specially developed by Molly.

At that time, Yi Lin also asked what the effect of this thing was.

But Molly ignored him and refused to talk about life or death.

In the end, the question seemed to make her a little impatient, so Molly just said: "You won't understand even if I tell you, but it will help you pass the test smoothly, as long as it doesn't kill you."

Staff members in white coats have entered the classroom pushing instruments.

Silently locking the classroom door——

Locked.

Yi Lin sighed, having no other choice, and quietly swallowed "NT-046" while others were not paying attention.

Of course Yi Lin also prepared a backup plan.

If Molly's trick doesn't work, the worst thing is... just use the privileges of the special group and just fool around.

"Take it five minutes early."

"It takes effect in two minutes."

"The effect lasts for one hour."

Yi Lin silently counted the seconds in her mind.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5…

The staff began to push the instruments and conduct attribute tests one by one.

The test method is also very simple. After entering personal information, you only need to cover your palm on the sensing position, and the personal attribute values ​​will be detected in a few seconds.

Simple, fast, easy and enjoyable.

Compared with the examination system of the last century, this instrument that directly detects body measurements is hundreds of times more efficient.

"Hahahaha! My agility has exceeded 3.5! I can be a surgeon!"

"The mental attribute is only 3.0? Is there something wrong with the instrument?"

"Come on! 3.0 has reached the key line! Still too little for you? My highest strength is only 2.8! It's over now! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"..."

Some are happy and some are sad.

Yi Lin's expression was calm and she was still counting down the seconds silently.

It was as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.

100, 101, 102…

102.

102…

Yi Lin was counting and suddenly froze.

What comes after 102?

"it's your turn."

Unknowingly, the attribute tester was pushed in front of Yi Lin.

At this moment, Yi Lin felt as if something had blocked her mind. Her thoughts were disorganized and she couldn't think normally at all.

His mind was still stuck among "102, 102, 102"...

Infinite loop.

"This classmate?"

Yi Lin raised her head, responded casually, and put her palm on it in a daze.

At the same time, others also turned their attention here.

After a few seconds.

The screen began to measure Yilin's attributes line by line.

"Strength...2.4."

"Agility...3.9!"

If Yi Lin had a clear mind now, she would discover one thing.

This attribute is exactly the same as the value on the "Apostle Panel".

As soon as this number came out, the other students who were watching suddenly took a breath of cold air, and the whole class seemed to explode in an instant, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Damn it! Yi Lin's agility seemed to be less than 3.0 in the first test, right?"

"Did this kid take drugs? His progress is too exaggerated!"

"It's so scary! It's so scary!"

"Yi Lin is stable this time! The agility attribute is so high, a key university is stable!"

"Majors that focus on agility, everyone is rushing to get this score!"

"..."

Everyone cast envious glances at Yi Lin.

Immediately afterwards.

Finally, the spiritual attribute also popped up.

"Spirit……"

"1.8."

The next second, the whole class fell silent.

…

…

After one hour.

Yi Lin silently dialed Molly's phone number.

Before Yi Lin could get angry, Molly burst into gloating laughter on the other end of the phone: "How's it going? Did I tell you that I can help you cover up your mental attribute surge problem? I, Molly, am a genius, wow... …”

Yi Lin seemed to be able to imagine Molly laughing so hard that she fell on her back.

"So your codename NT...means cerebral palsy?"

Yi Lin held the phone tightly.

Poker face.

"Wahahahahaha..."

"What kind of ghost medicine is this?" Yi Lin listened to the unbridled laughter on the other end of the phone and resisted the urge to hang up.

"Hehehe..." After laughing for a long time, Molly finally regained her breath, and then said: "Actually, this drug is essentially the latest type of sedative drug, which can suppress the activity of brain waves, but I have no intention of doing so. It was discovered that this kind of drug would cause a decrease in mental attributes after being taken, so I made some improvements..."

"Give me the mask back."

"Huh? Are you angry?"

Molly subconsciously touched her slippery face and spoke a little weaker.

Yi Lin thought about it for a while. Although Molly had some elements of prank in this incident, she still managed to fool her into it.

The agility attribute increased to 3.9 within three years, which can also be explained by diligence.

But if the mental attribute is measured to be 6.4... Yi Lin can guess without guessing that the next days in Qingcheng will definitely be restless.

never mind.

Yi Lin couldn't help laughing when she recalled the "interesting things" that happened in the classroom.

Can't laugh.

Unexpectedly, in the days when he was pretending to be an "ordinary person", he would leave a legend in Qingcheng High School.

【Shock! After a certain class of students’ heads were caught between the cracks in the door, their mental attributes dropped significantly! What is the truth? Is this a moral decline or a distortion of human nature? 】

It is said that after the results of Yilin's retest came out, this post became very popular in the campus forum.

"correct."

Yi Lin didn't intend to dwell on Molly's "cerebral palsy movie" prank, and her tone changed slightly: "When will your investigation team...leave out?"

Molly replied absently: "Well... uh... it should be mid-August, what? Do you have other things to do?"

"It's not a big deal." Yi Lin chuckled and said in a calm tone: "I may have to leave Qingcheng for two days. When I am not here, you should not leave the hotel casually. It is safer when other field personnel are around. And because Regarding the follow-up of the Xiao family, Zhao Yulong should not leave yet, if anything happens..."

"Okay, what else can happen?" Molly interrupted Yi Lin impatiently: "You can just leave. I'm busy. Do you think I run around like you every day?"

Yi Lin didn't ask much about what Molly said she was "busy" about.

After a few more casual instructions, he hung up the phone.

"The middle of the year..."

Yi Lin didn't put down her phone.

Lost in thought.

Normally, the interval between each time an apostle enters the "other world" trial is about one month.

Yi Lin had just come out of the tower, and there was plenty of time before the next trial.

After thinking for a while, Yi Lin dialed another number.

"Dean, um, it's me, Yi Lin... Long time no see. Yes, I've been a little busy lately... Haha, you know, I'm in my third year of high school. Is it convenient tomorrow?"

…

…

the next day.

sunny.

Ling Wuyan put on clean and casual clothes and followed Yi Lin silently.

Taking the "Diwang" express line, we arrived at another small county hundreds of kilometers away from Qingcheng.

Yiwu County.

Due to its remote geographical location, Yiwu County still maintains the style of the late last century and does not have many modern buildings.

Pedestrians walked slowly on the road, and from time to time children ran barefoot and played on the street.

The moment you walk out of the "underground network", you actually have the illusion of traveling back to the end of the last century.

In 2121, perhaps only backward counties like Yiwu County can still see this classic "four-wheel drive" mechanical structure of transportation.

Yilin swiped her card and got on the bus with familiarity, and got on the four-wheel bus with Ling Wuyan.

"Almost two months."

Yi Lin looked out the window at the scenery that was rapidly flowing backward behind her, and fell into deep thought.

Although Ling Wuyan didn't ask much, why Yi Lin would bring him to such a backward place.

But for some reason, he had a vague premonition.

This may be the reason why Yi Lin took action to save him.

The county town is small in area and is surrounded by mountain peaks. In the south of Yiwu County, there is a clear river. The entire county town stands next to the river, making it feel like a paradise in the world.

Looking from a distance, there is a large sunken pit on one of the mountains.

It is said to be the landform left behind by the impact of satellite debris during the "Night of Starfall".

The county is not large.

If you hike, you can circle the county in just half a day.

You can also go shopping.

This shows how far this county has fallen behind.

Ten minutes later, Yi Lin asked Ling Wuyan to get out of the car.

After getting off the bus and walking several hundred meters, Ling Wuyan followed Yi Lin and came to an old courtyard building.

Ling Wuyan raised his head and saw a red sign on the top of the building.

"Yiwu County Welfare Home".

"?"

Ling Wuyan slowly raised a question mark in his heart.

He looked at Yi Lin's calm profile and still couldn't figure out why Yi Lin, as a powerful apostle, would come to such a small place.

"Yo! Look who's here!"

An old man with white hair and a cane walked towards Yi Lin with a smile.

Yi Lin smiled and greeted the dean.

In the courtyard house, there are many elderly people active in the yard.

Some are playing games, some are using VR equipment for "outdoor fitness", some are playing retro board games, and there are many children running innocently in the yard.

When everyone saw Yi Lin, they all had bright smiles on their faces and came forward to chat with Yi Lin.

"Eh? Xiaoliu, have you grown taller again? I remember you can sign up to study next year, right?"

"Uncle Qing, you are using this move incorrectly. When the opponent uses 'Iori Yagami' to release the eight young girls, you should do this, this, this... you see... KO."

"You brat! You actually helped your Uncle Qing beat me up? Your wings have grown hard, right?"

"Haha, it's just a game, it's just a game. Didn't I see how badly Uncle Qing was tortured by you..."

Yi Lin's arrival injected a different kind of vitality into this orphanage.

Ling Wuyan witnessed with his own eyes that Yi Lin was like a simple young man, blending into this happy atmosphere without any sense of disobedience, which actually gave Ling Wuyan a strange feeling in his heart.

He couldn't connect the Yi Lin in front of him with the Yi Lin he knew.

It's like...two completely different people.

Which one is his true face?

At this moment, in a corner of the yard, Ling Wuyan noticed a quiet girl wearing small headphones, her eyes closed, the corners of her mouth raised, and a gentle smile.

The quiet and gentle posture gives people a feeling of independence from the world.

It seemed that no matter who it was, all the restlessness in their hearts would be calmed down instantly the moment they saw the girl.

suddenly.

Ling Wuyan noticed something.

Yi Lin started talking to everyone in the orphanage, whether intentionally or unintentionally, but she ignored the quiet girl sitting alone in the corner.

This is somewhat unusual.

Just when Yi Lin was happily playing the "lift high" game with the children in the orphanage, the old dean came over again and laughed.

"Xiao Lin, if you are busy, you don't have to come all the way. This is actually quite troublesome."

"Nowhere, it's actually not too much trouble. I just finished the retest yesterday and am free. I also remembered that I haven't been here for a long time, so I came here to take a look."

"But yes, hehe... you people in big cities are under a lot of pressure, especially you, Xiao Lin. You are young, and your studies and exercise are your priority. Learn to strengthen your brain, practice martial arts to strengthen your body, and work and rest on time to strengthen your kidneys, hehehe ..." The old dean warned in a long-winded way.

"..."

Yi Lin didn't mind, and was used to it.

While I was free, I started chatting with the old dean.

If this scene fell into the eyes of someone who didn't know why, they might mistakenly think that this was a pair of grandfather and grandson who had a harmonious relationship.

"By the way, old dean, actually I came here this time to trouble you with something."

When the old dean heard this, he immediately became a little unhappy and glared at Yi Lin: "Xiao Lin, are you out of touch now? You have taken care of us so much over the years, and your business is also our business, but Old man, I’m worried that I can’t help you much!”

Yi Lin smiled slightly, pointed at Ling Wuyan, who was silent behind him, and said the reason for coming: "I have a friend, his name is Ling Wuyan, he had an accident some time ago, and he has a throat problem, and he also suffers from it. It’s a big blow, so I would like to ask you, Dean, to let him live here for a while.”

The old dean then raised his head and looked at Ling Wuyan in surprise.

In fact, he had noticed Ling Wuyan's presence a long time ago, but Ling Wuyan's expression was stern, and there was an air of indifference about strangers, so the old dean didn't ask in detail before Yi Lin introduced him.

Hearing what Yi Lin said, the old dean suddenly understood.

It turned out to be an accident, no wonder he was lifeless.

Life is a long road, and who can guarantee that everything will be smooth sailing?

The old dean quickly agreed to this trivial matter.

Ling Wuyan's empty and indifferent eyes moved slightly, but he quickly lowered his head and remained silent, still standing quietly behind Yi Lin, like a shadow.

"Old Dean, I checked in a lot of small gifts this time. They should arrive after we leave. You can check them out then."

"Oh, you are always like this, please be polite, please be polite."

"It's not a big deal... By the way, there are a lot of e-books in it. Remember to supervise the children to read more. Now they are in the golden age of intellectual development. Reading more will help develop their 'spiritual' attributes. "

The old dean happily agreed.

After chatting for a while, the old dean showed a strange smile on his face. He looked at the quiet girl in the corner of the yard and lowered his voice: "You are here this time, why don't you go and chat with Xiaoyi? It seems like you are here too. You haven't been here for almost two months, right? I remember that kid, he even said a few words to you last month."

Yi Lin's pupils shrank slightly, but her expression remained unchanged. She even complained: "It's not that you don't know that my personality doesn't get along well with hers..."

But as he spoke, Yi Lin slowly walked toward that corner.

Yi Lin slowly walked towards the girl step by step.

Very slowly. Very slowly.

With a kind of... caution that perhaps even Yi Lin herself didn't notice.

When she was still about ten meters away from the girl, the corner of her mouth curled up and she actually took off her headphones.

Then he looked up.

Those were a pair of eyes that were so clear and free of dirt.

It is as pure as a canvas, black and white, and cannot tolerate any other colors.

"Xiao Lin, is that you?"

The girl's thin arched eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there was a hint of doubt in her tone.

Her eyes fell in front of Yi Lin, but there was no focus.

Yi Lin knew that Xiao Yi... couldn't see with her eyes.
