Psychics don't die from gunfire

"you"

The captain barely stood up, like a fish lying in a mud puddle without water, opening its mouth weakly, looking very miserable.

Then, the moment he opened his mouth to attract the opponent's attention, while still maintaining this miserable appearance, an inch of light burst out from his exoskeleton-wrapped palm, and his whole body burst into thorns!

——Folding dagger with built-in power air pump!

In the face of this thorn, an ordinary cement wall will not be stronger than a block of tofu.

But Song Shi's expression remained unchanged.

He just turned his weight slightly to avoid the first thrust, and then clasped the forearm of the exoskeleton with his five fingers from top to bottom.

The flames came from the heart, burning out a few mottled cracks in an instant, and then poured in along the cracks, but in the blink of an eye, the entire forearm was like a sand castle eroded by the wind, turning into large pieces of ashes.

Seeing that the last attack failed, the captain's eyes showed despair, he staggered back a few steps, and his whole body collapsed to his knees.

However, even at this moment, he remained silent.

Even among giant companies, [Zero Degree Network] is the company that attaches the most importance to "information", even to an almost pathological level. Employees need to undergo "memory review" regularly to determine whether confidentiality regulations have been violated.

——The same is true for him.

Even as a member of the deep-diving force responsible for [Abyss] salvage and network information operations, the confidentiality regulations he signed were stricter than ordinary employees.

If the company's information is leaked now and discovered in the future, their family members will face extremely high compensation claims, become homeless overnight, and even lose their citizenship rights, becoming the company's living assets.

"——That's fine."

When the man subconsciously raised his head and stared in astonishment, the young man in front of him actually retracted his hand, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

The man was stunned for a while, and finally understood what he was talking about. He struggled to say two words: "Thank you."

The opponent's psychic flames that turned people into ashes not only destroyed the exoskeleton, but also caused great pain. Even if he adjusted his sensory parameters in time, it was still quite uncomfortable.

Mastering this psychic skill, even if he is not a professional torturer, he can easily think of several ways to torture people——

Song Shi nodded again.

He turned and left, and flames surged out behind him, completely engulfing the opponent.

"I thought you didn't know how to do it." On the other side, looking at the young man walking towards him slowly, the man in beach shorts considered his words: "It's so simple."

"Zero Degree Network must have set up things like 'confidentiality thresholds' and 'memory shackles' for them. He couldn't tell you any valuable information."

"And, the dead are great - I have always been tolerant of the dead."

Song Shi stared at the man.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he was approaching the latter, holding his neck tightly with one hand and slowly raising it.

"Uh-huh. Uh-huh."

The man struggled desperately, and his voice was hoarse: "Wait a minute - you want to kill me."

"What do you want me to do? We don't have any grudges!"

"——The 'consciousness' of this deep-diving team did not successfully surface and returned to the physical body in reality."

Song Shi's tone was cold: "My psychic skills do not target 'consciousness', so you are the one who blocks it."

There was one thing he didn't say, and that was that he didn't know much about this technology.

"No. Is this also my fault?" The man tried his best to raise his voice: "They want to kill us two! Is self-defense wrong?!"

"This is where the problem lies."

Song Shi raised his eyes: "Their death has nothing to do with me, and there is no reason for them not to die - but the 'two' you mentioned?"

"My fault! Sorry! I can compensate!"

The man immediately knelt down and said: "I don't want you to get involved! But in the emergency situation just now, I really couldn't do anything! You can also see it! It was purely accidental!"

"No, that's not right." Song Shi shook his head: "This is not an 'accident', you chose me from the beginning."

"At that time, there were eight people near you on the street, but I was the only one who could kill this deep-diving team and solve your dilemma, so you bumped into me."

"The [Second Ring of Psychic Power] ensures that there is enough power, and the [anti-company stance] ensures that it will not turn to the company, but will stand on its own side."

"You know I am 'Song Shi'."

Song Shi's voice became colder and colder: "——I didn't expect that someone could see through Thousand Star City's anonymity protection and directly see through other people's identities!"

"what"

The man's voice sounded extremely shocked, and he said loudly: "Let's not talk about whether I have the ability to do this, but it makes no sense for you to make a judgment based on these two! Does this count as evidence?!"

"Yes, this is very incomplete logic."

Unexpectedly, Song Shi admitted this without hesitation.

Then, he said word for word: "But my intuition tells me that my judgment is not wrong."

——This is also illogical.

But after hearing these illogical words, the man stopped struggling. He seemed to be simply silent, but also seemed to be thinking about something.

But Song Shi didn't stop.

tumultuous!

From within the clasped fingers, red-gold flames spurted out and enveloped the man.

But unlike the previous "devouring" of the deep-diving team, these flames spread out into thin tongues of flame and "licked" the man's body.

Just like a candle melting under the heat, under the licking of these flames, the short-sleeved shirt and beach pants burned out, and the man's body began to gradually dissolve, revealing his true appearance - his lower body was empty!

No, to be more precise, the body below the man's neck was empty.

Only a skull with the surface skin removed and a dark metallic luster remained.

In the hollow pupils of the head, two strands of green light flickered.

"- Tell me your identity."

Song Shi said.

Feeling the undisguised murderous intent, the upper and lower teeth of the head opened and closed, and said a word: ". Lapis Lazuli."

Lapis Lazuli?

Song Shi searched his memory and confirmed that he had never heard of this name - whether in his previous life or now.

Alias?

But looking at the head held in his hand, Song Shi had no impression of this appearance.

His psychic flame burned the other party's body, and theoretically this was the other party's "true appearance" in the [Abyss].

".Intelligent?"

"Yes."

"Was meeting me a plan?"

"Coincidentally."

"Why did Zero Network find you? Okay, I asked a stupid question."

"Indeed."

"Participants in the Freedom Revolution?"

Silence.

"Are there any accomplices?"

Silence.

"How did you see through the anonymous protection of Thousand Star City?"

"Technology. You don't understand the principle."

Silence, this time it was Song Shi.

"Okay."

The next moment, the originally gloomy murderous intent suddenly disappeared, just like an illusion, as if it had never existed.

"Lapis Lazuli, let's call it this name for the time being."

Song Shi completely let go of his hand, slowly put the other party on the ground, and squatted down himself.

He said lightly.

"Since everyone is not a good citizen, are you interested in causing some trouble for the company together?"
