Psychics don't die from gunfire

When Song Shi opened his eyes again, he saw himself standing on top of a building with most of its surface covered with algae.

The sky was filled with a rich dark blue, and fissure-like flowing clouds slowly passed by, casting blocky shadows one after another.

The air is filled with the unique salty smell of sea breeze and the lingering smell of rust.

Song Shi glanced around and found that the building under his feet was not an exception - to the end of the field of vision, and even beyond the end, there were ruins and ruins everywhere. Many buildings were even soaked in some kind of viscous blue fluid, and they were covered in various colors. of giant algae.

It is reminiscent of the ships that were dragged to the bottom of the sea by those huge deep-sea phantom beasts in the past during the Age of Discovery.

"——This is [Binhai Ruins]."

Lapis Lazuli's voice came from Song Shi's chest, and it turned into a necklace again.

"You're lucky. This is an abyss area that has been explored. There are relevant information for reference." It paused and said cautiously: "The danger coefficient of this area is considered to be medium to low. It is a suitable start for the first dive. ”

The abyss is large, very large.

In a sense, today's abyss is a city of all network users - considering the popularity of the Internet, this "all network users" can be approximately equal to all human beings.

[The Abyss] is a "dream" for all mankind.

And if we were to select dreams, then the abyss would undoubtedly be the most bizarre and magnificent dream. With the daily use of network users over the years, nearly endless information and data have accumulated here along with redundant spiritual energy, forming an unprecedented spectacle.

Considering omnics, there are a small number of phantom beasts with high intelligence. They will also go online and indirectly participate in the formation of the [Abyss].

Everything that exists in reality will exist here, and everything that exists in imagination will exist here.

"The Ruins of the Coast."

No impression at all.

Song Shi recalled it and thought to himself.

In my previous life, I didn't dabble much in the [Abyss]. Although I had dived as deep as depth 6, that time was considered an accident. After only staying for a short while, I surfaced and returned to reality.

The highest depth I have ever reached in a true sense should be "depth 5".

At that time, I was hired by an abyss lord to help him fight a bloody battle as an off-site aid - to be precise, it was a bloody battle between abyss lords.

If you want to be promoted from [Demon] to [Abyss Lord], the former must build and occupy a network of his own through bloody battles in the abyss, and have his own territory in the abyss. This is also the origin of the name Abyss Lord.

Abyss lords and abyss lords can also launch bloody battles and annex each other's territory.

In his previous life, as a fourth-ring psyker, under the shielding cover of his employer, he airborne from orbit, broke into the opponent's territory as a single soldier, and successfully beheaded him.

But there is a saying, when killing an Abyss Lord in the [Abyss], the opponent's difficulty is several notches higher than reality.

If he were in reality, even if he was also a fourth-level psychic, he would be sure to kill him within twenty-five moves. However, in the abyss, the opponent actually lasted for a hundred moves before dying.

"I saw the spawn."

Song Shi suddenly spoke.

Four hundred meters ahead, a spiral outline slowly emerged. It looked like a nautilus, but it was thousands of times larger, like a moving four-story building.

The huge shell on the back is no longer just calcium carbonate, but is made up of countless broken mechanical parts, with smooth scarlet muscle tubes squirming between the mechanical gaps.

The blue viscous fluid slowly flowed down the shell. The derivative body that Song Shi conveniently named "Nautilus" broke out of the sea and slowly climbed up the building nearby, causing the latter to stagger and gnaw at it. Seaweed on top.

"These algae are 'redundant data'. The components of this derivative should have a 'cleaning program', so it will be cleaned up spontaneously."

Lapis Lazuli quickly saw what was really happening under the surface: "But in addition to the 'cleaning program', it also consists of an 'ice pick' used to break through the firewall."

"Did you see that building crumbling?"

"Because while the derivative body is clearing the redundant data, it is also destroying the underlying protocol and maintenance structure of the building. Two contradictory operating logics appear at the same time. This is the 'derivative body'."

Seeing this scene, Lapis Lazuli's tone darkened slightly as he seemed to have thought of something.

——Most of the "derivatives" are suture monsters.

Just like the current nautilus, there is a high probability that it has some ice pick module and data cleaning software that have sunk into the abyss.

Among the objects from which the derivatives can be stitched one by one, there are also some omnic parts.

In other words, the "corpse" of omnics.

"——Okay, I understand."

Song Shi stared at the nautilus in front of him, feeling the fluctuations of spiritual energy on it.

In terms of strength alone, it is about the middle of the second ring, but its composition is extremely turbid. Transcendence, Great Source, and Truth—the redundant spiritual energies of the three paths are randomly sewn together, or in other words, they are located in different parts of the Nautilus. body parts.

Then, the flames ignited.

The surging flames emerged with the control of will, with Song Shi as the center, suddenly dyeing the surrounding area red.

The young man took out his sword and smiled softly.

"I haven't killed such a large unit for a long time. It's just a good time to recuperate——"

"Etc., etc."

Lapis immediately stopped feeling sad.

"You should know that in the battle of the abyss, psychic energy only accounts for part of it, and technology is also required."

An interface suddenly popped up in front of Song Shi.

There was a line of words on the top - "Deep Diving Assistance Countermeasures v.1.0.1 (Trial Version)".

The content of the interface was very concise, with rows of options on it.

[Energy Output Threshold Enhancement], on/off.

[Penetrating Damage Protection], on/off.

[Disguise Detection], on/off.

[Abyss Oppression Resistance], on/off.

[Giant Killer], [High-Speed ​​Nerve Reflexes], [Wound Expansion].

"You are responsible for the psychic part, and I am responsible for technical protection. I made a set of visual interfaces, which is what you see."

It spoke quickly: "For example, this [Disguise Detection] can ignore the hidden program of the derivative and lock the position of the real body."

"I won't explain its technical principles. In short, you can understand these options literally. I can now turn on four items at the same time - just choose from them when you need them, and I will provide conversions at any time. "

Song Shi scanned it and picked four.

After a few breaths, feeling the change in his own state, he nodded slightly.

--It's really not bad.

To make a rough assessment, it seems that the strength has been improved by 20% to 30%. No, it can't be calculated like this.

For example, when [Giant Killer] is used against large enemies, the damage caused is increased, which cannot be completely regarded as an increase in strength-most of the protection provided by lapis lazuli are such "special effects".

"Huh"

Song Shi slowly exhaled.

He stretched out his five fingers to clasp the blade of the heavy killer, and as he slowly passed, a trace of slightly golden blood was winding-then, this trace of shallow blood suddenly burned, and the surging flames wrapped around the heavy killer, turning into an extremely dazzling blaze.

Psychic Skills · [Burning Blood].

And the next moment, there was something that seemed the same, but was completely different in nature. The flames burst out from Song Shi's body and poured into Chongshi.

Psychic Skills: [Forging Flame].

So, under the gaze of Lapis Lazuli, the young man turned Chongshi and then slanted it to his side - then, the surging fire stream stretched out in an instant.

Even the outline of Chongshi was looming. Song Shi stood on the roof. In his clenched hands, a stream of red-gold flames that stretched for more than ten meters roared in the wind!

No, it was not a "flame stream".

——It was clearly a terrifying fire sword with Chongshi as the handle and a bunch of flames intertwined and entangled as the blade!

Forging Flame, Specialized Recasting.

The next moment.

Song Shi shuttled and jumped between the rooftops. When he was about to reach the Nautilus, he raised the fire sword high.

The surging red flames dragged a gorgeous stream in the air.

Song Shi slashed down with a sword, breaking the sky and enveloping the Nautilus and the building together!
