Invade the World

  Chapter 136 Youth Mind

   "...you are not a psychic?"

  The man frowned, as if he felt incredible.

  Xu Xiangyang felt that if it wasn't for his expression to be sincere, the other party should directly express his doubts at this moment.

  He can guess the reason.

  According to the conversation just now, in the eyes of Meng Zheng, or people who know the world of psychics, the evil spirits of the level of the old man in the haunted house can only be equally powerful psychics.

   "That, I want to ask."

  He suddenly found that his throat was a little dry.

   "Can the psychics dispel the evil spirits?"

   "Didn't I just say that the human brain has limits. It is already very difficult to accurately observe evil spirits. How can you fight monsters that really live in different spaces?"

  Meng Zheng sighed.

   "It is true that psychics will have this performance similar to superpowers, but what you need to pay attention to is that people who can become psychics have stronger psychic abilities than ordinary psychics."

  "Didn’t it mean that there is the possibility of becoming a psychic in the future?"

"Although it is divided into congenital and acquired in terms of address, the principle is the same: only after becoming a psychic can you feel the connection between yourself and the individual in another world. If you are awakened, stimulate your The supernatural factor failed to successfully transform into the evil spirit controlled by you. Unfortunately, you are not a psychic medium."

  ...The first evil spirit I saw was the old man in the haunted house.

  Of course it is not under their control.

  After understanding this, Xu Xiangyang leaned against the back of his chair, and suddenly his whole body felt weak.

  For some reason, he recalled a past event.

   said it was the past, but it is not too far away from the present, but half a year's time.

  It was the experience when the two siblings decided to settle in this city, and they were going to let Xu Xiangyang find a place to transfer.

Because of family changes and job transfers, starting from junior high school, he followed his sister in several cities for a long time. Affected by this, Xu Xiangyang's grades were actually not outstanding at that time, and he did not have sports or art. His specialty is an ordinary high school student that can be seen everywhere.

  So, Li Qinglian first looked for two key high schools that ranked better than the 15th middle school, but in the end they both chose to reject his admission request.

  The school's decision is completely understandable. It was not easy to insert transfer students in the second semester of high school, let alone a mediocre boy in all aspects.

  So, no one will blame him.

  The only thing that can be blamed is yourself. It is precisely because he didn't work hard enough in the past that his sister has to worry and run around for herself.

Xu Xiangyang was eager to prove himself, so after he transferred to the 15th Middle School, he was able to rise from a humble ordinary student to the second grade in less than one semester, becoming a top student in the eyes of teachers and classmates. There is still dissatisfaction.

  However, grades can be improved through hard study, but some things are different.

   Just like a person who works hard, his origin and family will not change.

  The inherent and insurmountable difference is often the cruelest.

  What's more, Xu Xiangyang now has different ideas from the past.

  He is no longer just for himself.

  At this moment, the same thought is always in his mind:

  —— "I am really different from them."

  This fact makes him feel quite frustrated. Compared with it, the anxiety and anxiety in the past seems to be nothing.

  ……

   "Since you are an ordinary psychic, the other psychics passing by are the ones who repelled the old man in the haunted house."

  Meng Zheng knocked on the table, showing a pensive expression.

   "He didn't show his face in front of you?"

  Of course Xu Xiangyang would not tell about Lin Xingjie and Zhu Qingyue, so he just shook his head.

   "It seems to be the type that hides itself."

  Meng Zheng sighed.

  "If there is a chance to recruit such a private master, it will be very beneficial to our future work. It's a pity. But..."

  Meng Zheng glanced at him, as if he had noticed the faint loss of the boy's eyes, and comforted him.

  "Don’t be too discouraged, student Xu Xiangyang. I think you should feel more fortunate that you can survive the attack of the A-level evil spirit. This is really not ordinary luck. If someone else died early."

  Xu Xiangyang did not answer.

  What he recalled in his mind was the scene of the confrontation with the old man in the haunted house.

  The fierce confrontation between wills, even though he failed to win, is there really nothing the psychic can do?

  The two ends of the small round table are once again shrouded in a quiet atmosphere.

  After a while, he said as if talking to himself.

"……existing."

"Ok?"

  Meng Zheng raised his eyes with some doubts.

  Even if this is the consensus in the world of psychics, Xu Xiangyang still doesn't want to just admit it honestly. He wouldn't say anything about Xingjie and Qingyue, but his own experience was different. He wanted to get approval from the experts in front of him.

   "There must be a way for psychics to fight evil spirits in this world."

  Meng Zheng was taken aback.

  Looking at the boy opposite, with the words "unwilling" written in his eyebrows, the man felt a little funny.

  It's not that he can't understand this feeling, after all, who would be willing to admit that he was born mediocre? Especially for boys at this age who have strong self-esteem and emotional sensitivity.

   But there are some things that can’t be said, and some real unfairness is something people will face sooner or later. He feels that as an adult, he has the obligation to remind him and avoid the other person from going on a crooked road.

  "I’m not clear enough? It’s not a psychic who is a psychic, no matter how outstanding he is, there is an insurmountable boundary between him and evil spirits. This is no longer a difference in talents, but a difference in species."

  Meng Zheng thought for a while, and added:

"Let me be more specific. The so-called psychic ability is actually the ability to connect consciousness with the distant realm. This ability is even sufficient to interfere with reality, so it will present a feature similar to the'superpower' in the eyes of ordinary people: Including reading and writing, remote sensing, and even moving animals. The most famous example is that in a public experiment, someone moved a glass out of thin air with psychic power..."

  He sighed.

"But this is the limit of the human brain. This is not on the same level as the evil spirits that can cause huge damage to the real world and large-scale physical phenomena. Only the small group of people who are lucky enough to have contact with the evil spirits. Only then has the opportunity to exceed this limit."

   "But, maybe there is another way."

  Xu Xiangyang's heart began to pound.

  I have to admit that today’s meeting with Meng Zheng is equivalent to a pre-exam lesson for him, and the content of the tuition is about the basic knowledge of psychics.

  At first, he felt that what he and the two girls possess are all superpowers, but the types are different;

  Until today, Xu Xiangyang realized that this difference is the difference between psychics and ordinary psychics.

  Indeed, human beings’ psychic abilities cannot forcefully interfere with reality, which he knew long ago. Only after possessing an evil spirit controlled by humans like Xiaoan or Human Face Spider, it is equivalent to indirectly possessing powerful destructive power.

  However, not being a psychic does not mean that you cannot fight against evil spirits, at least for Xu Xiangyang. He has a method, a method he has figured out himself, that is the guarantee that he can fight side by side with them——

   "Evil spirits are creatures in the distant realm, and the distant realm is connected to human consciousness, so we don't actually need to fight against it on a physical level at all, as long as we directly channel the evil spirits... isn't it all right?"

  Xu Xiangyang has made such an attempt a long time ago, and after listening to the popularization of Meng Zheng’s basic knowledge, he found that his ideas are indeed supported by theory.

  He thought that the other party’s expression would become very consterious, but the result was completely different from Xu Xiangyang’s imagination. Meng Zheng’s facial muscles suddenly tightened, and sharp eyes radiated from his pupils, becoming very serious.

  "Should you never do this kind of thing?"

   "Uh...I don't have one."

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback, but his reaction was fairly quick, and he instinctively said a negative answer.

  Looking at the other person’s expression, you know it’s not good, but you can’t admit it at this time.

  Meng Zheng looked at his face carefully, and after a while, the man's expression slowly relaxed.

   "It doesn't look like you are possessed, and your mental state is normal. I really haven't tried it."

"……What's the meaning?"

   Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but asked cautiously.

   "It's my fault. I should have explained these things to you a long time ago, but at the time I thought you were a psychic..."

  Meng Zheng held his forehead, his tone rather annoyed.

"I should put this matter first, but your performance has been very mature all the time. I almost forgot that you are a high school student...Listen, whether you are a psychic or a psychic, there are Surpassing the abilities of ordinary people, this is very powerful, and as I said just now, I think that the psychic group represents the future direction of human development. These words are serious. But in everything, the greater the benefit, the greater the risk. , Possessing the ability to deal with supernatural events is actually a double-edged sword."

"In short, the contact and communication with the distant realm is very, very dangerous. If you make a mistake, you can fall into the abyss." The man said every word, "And the fate of those who have gone astray, you Haven't you seen it with your own eyes?"

  Xu Xiangyang felt a bit bitter in his mouth.

   "Uncle Meng means those possessed?"

   "Yes, the end is either to become a monster, or it is a vegetable, or the brain is burned out, and the possessed directly died."

  Meng Zheng nodded heavily.

"The unique thing about psychics is that they can use their own consciousness to control evil spirits. This process seems very easy. A qualified person wakes up as soon as they are stimulated... But in fact it can be very dangerous. Natural methods can be realized, because from an objective law, the connection with evil spirits is a little closer-as long as you go one step further, you will be possessed. And with the current scientific knowledge level of mankind, it is not even sufficient to distinguish this. What is the difference between the two in the formation process, which led to completely different results."

"Furthermore, after awakening, psychics are not going to be all right. The confrontation with the distant lands against the erosion of the human will will accompany them throughout their lives. The stronger the evil spirit controlled by a person, the more serious the consequences will be if the emotions are out of control. ."

  "As for the method you said...There were indeed psychics before and tried this method. Since they can't fight in the physical world, they hope to find the weakness of the evil spirit in the spiritual world."

   "However, once they get deep into it, their ending is without exception being possessed by evil spirits. It is good luck to be forcibly stopped in the middle."

"That--"

  Really no one succeeded?

  My words may be different from others.

  Xu Xiangyang wants to refute.

  However, the experience of going deep into the spiritual world last time came to his mind again.

   In the final analysis, he did fail, and the consequences were really serious. He had a feeling of "almost impossible to come back".

  At that time, if the power of the old man in the haunted house hidden in Teacher Yang's body dragged down the abyss of his soul, his ending is likely to be just like Meng Zheng said, being taken advantage of by evil spirits and occupying his body.

"In short, you can't do it in the future... No, you can't even think about such dangerous things. What's more, even if you want to channel the evil spirits, you have to see if you have this ability. This is completely the same as seeing them. Two different things."

After    said these words sternly, Meng Zheng's expression eased a little bit.

  "I can understand what you think. I'm also here at this age. In fact, you don't need to care too much about this kind of thing."

  "The confrontation between psychics and evil spirits is equivalent to a frontal battlefield, but if you want to win a war, it is not enough to fight it. Logistic support is the key."

"Because of the scarcity of psychics, there is a lot of work that needs to be done by psychics. It's like... uh, it's like a commander in the army, do you know what I mean? It's not like generals and soldiers. The difference is the difference between the commander and the combatant, but the division of labor is different."

  "We are the same here. In the working environment, everyone is a peer and their status is equal."

  Believe you to blame.

  Even if Xu Xiangyang is a high school student who hasn’t had much contact with society, he knows that the other party’s words are inaccurate.

   "Moreover, being able to awaken psychic abilities means that you are already different from ordinary people. Compared to those who know nothing, this is undoubtedly a thankful thing."

  I don’t want to compare with others, he thought, I just want to stand beside two friends on an equal footing.

  Xu Xiangyang still feels that Meng Zheng’s statement may not be correct.

  He had dealt with the old man in the haunted house, and successfully taught a psychic of his age, although he did not pay attention to the attack.

  As the saying goes, practice leads to true knowledge, maybe he is really different?

  But after all, the other party is a member of an official organization and an expert on supernatural issues. What Meng Zheng said didn't sound like he was fooling him. It felt like it was common sense in the world of psychics.

   It seems more reliable to trust common sense and authority, at least for children like Xu Xiangyang.

  Therefore, the boy's long-term thinking inevitably shaken.

  He found a kind of unprecedented confusion in his heart, a feeling of wanting to go back to his small bedroom, lying on the bed with a quilt and wrapping himself up.

  I am really unwilling...

  And what made him feel even more confused, and Meng Zheng's next words:

   "——By the way, do you believe in'the end of the world'?"
