The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Strategic-level psychic skills are the top secret for any advanced civilization in the universe, because strategic-level psychic skills can cause the most direct damage to the enemy fleet on the space battlefield, or can influence the battle situation on the space battlefield .

This kind of strategic-level psionic ability is strong or weak. The weak one can only cause damage to a spaceship, while the powerful one can even create a temporary black hole, tearing apart all objects within the black hole's influence range.

By using the thunder gun skill just now, Leo clearly felt the potential of this spiritual skill. Although the power he displayed now is not enough to compare with those spiritual skills that control the space battle situation, this is mainly because His psychic level is not enough. As his psychic level continues to increase, the power of the thunder gun will also increase, which means that this is a psychic skill that can continuously increase its power.

In fact, Leo had already mastered one of the psionic skills that continuously improve the effect like this before, and this skill is the spiritual net.

When the spirit net skill is developed to the extreme, it can cover a piece of cosmic space. All spaceships in the space will be affected by the spirit net, and even the people inside the spaceship will be directly controlled or killed by the spirit net.

It stands to reason that the strategic-level psionic skill of the spiritual network should be set as the top secret by the creator's cosmic civilization, but the creator of the spiritual network may not have expected the skill of the spiritual network to be so powerful, so in the creation At the beginning, this psionic skill was published as an academic report. After the high level of that cosmic civilization realized the potential of this psychic skill, psykers who learned the spirit net skill had already spread throughout the universe.

It is precisely because of the errors in the spiritual network skills that the governments of various advanced civilizations have begun to conduct quite strict inspections of all kinds of psychic skills announced to the outside world. It will take a year or two at the earliest, or hundreds of years Possibly, as for the strategic-level psionic skills, the control is even stricter, and even the names have not been announced to the public.

When Leo was in the Earth Federation, he had never heard of any strategic-level psionic skills for a long time, just like civilians. Until he protected a senior military officer and participated in a military training, he saw some of the past during the military training. Among the images of the battlefield left behind, a psyker who was able to walk in space and had reached at least level nine cast a strategic-level psychic power, crushing three small space battleships.

Leo never imagined that he would be able to obtain a real strategic-level psionic skill. Even though it was an undoubted fact, he still looked at the hand that cast the thunder gun in disbelief.

"That's the divine thunder gun uniquely created by the eldest son of the god." Just when Leo was in a daze, the voice of the fire girl suddenly sounded in the empty prayer hall.

Hearing this, Leo turned his head to look at the fire girl beside the campfire, and asked doubtfully, "Can you talk to me now?"

"I'm just using the power of the bonfire to talk to you." The fire girl said in a deep voice.

"What's the matter now?" Leo asked, frowning.

The fire girl explained: "The time and space of the land where everything ends are chaotic. The prayer hall you are in now should be in the future, when the flame is about to go out."

Leo asked again: "How do I go back to your side?"

"It's not necessary, we are actually in the same place, it's just that the time is different." The fire defense girl then turned her head towards Joey who was still shocked by the thunder gun not far away, her expression became a little dignified, and she turned her head towards Leo said: "I hope you can still help me..."

Leo shook his head and said, "Sorry, the transaction has been completed, and I don't plan to do anything for you."

"But this matter concerns the entire royal city..." Huofangnv didn't expect such an answer from Leo, and was about to persuade Leo.

"What does that have to do with me?" Leo asked before the fire girl could finish speaking.

The fire girl was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer.

Leo turned his head, looked at Joey, swept his gaze over the opponent, and finally landed on the Ouroboros ring on Joey's hand.

Leo could feel that the fire girl's sudden request to him came from Joey behind him, but he didn't understand why Joey, who was just an ordinary person, was paid attention to by the fire girl, and now he saw this abyss snake After getting the ring, he began to understand why the fire girl's expression suddenly changed.

"Joy, where did the ring in your hand come from?" Leo asked directly, pointing to the Ouroboros ring without any worries.

"I picked it up." Joey looked a little nervous, and then quickly made up a set of explanations, but when he was speaking, his hand shrank instinctively towards the sleeve, so that the ring could be covered by the sleeve. Cover up.

Leo turned his head and said to Huofangnv: "What you want me to do should be related to that ring?"

"Yes." The fire girl admitted: "That is the secret language of the abyss snake. There are three in total. They were all brought by the princess back then, and they are also the root cause of the fall of the royal city. I don't know why he was able to wear that ring. It is not clear why he was able to be safe and sound after wearing the ring, but I am sure that the ring is very dangerous and must be sealed."

"But I don't think the ring is dangerous." Leo responded coldly, then turned his head to look at Joey with a worried face, and said to him, "What's unusual after you put on the ring?" ?"

"Abnormal?" Joey was a little puzzled.

"For example, if there is any discomfort in the body, or if you hear some strange sound." Leo thought for a while and asked in a deep voice.

"No, no." Joey replied quickly, "There is nothing abnormal, I..."

As he said that, he suddenly paused, as if he thought that after wearing the ring, he had the qualification to enter the royal city, and also possessed the ability to disguise himself as a living corpse in the royal city, which should be regarded as an abnormal situation.

"What did you think of?" Leo asked after seeing Joey's expression.

Joey hesitated for a moment. According to his personality, he would not tell anyone such an important matter, but he also heard the conversation between Leo and Fire Girl just now, and knew that the ring in his hand might be a very dangerous thing. Moreover, the strength Leo showed just now also made him subconsciously feel that the other party would not have any greed for his ring.

So after a little hesitation, Joey chose to tell what happened after he put on the ring. While Joey was talking, the fire girl stood on the edge of the bonfire as much as possible, listening carefully to what she heard.

Regarding what Joey said, Leo felt that it was very normal, there was nothing unusual, it was nothing more than getting an item with a special ability, and then possessing some kind of ability, this kind of thing can't help but happen in the world of Vinylon, even in the universe There is no lack of similar things in this kind of legend, but most of them are high-tech items of pre-civilization.

But what Joey said had a completely different meaning in the ears of the fire prevention girl. She seemed to think of something and pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned around and walked to the bonfire, and plunged her hand into the flames of the bonfire.

The flame didn't cause any harm to the fire girl, nor did it reveal any other abnormalities. It felt like the fire girl was like air.

After a while, the female fire guard pulled her hand out of the flames, then turned around, looked at Joey with a strange expression, and said nothing for a long time.

Seeing the fire defense girl's reaction, Leo also made some guesses in his heart.

Judging from the attitude of the fire girl, anyone who wears the abyss snake ring will inevitably be affected by some unknown, but from now on, it seems that Joey only got some benefits from the ring without receiving any abnormalities Influence, this is obviously different from the cognition of Huo Fangnv. So Huofang girl put her hand into the bonfire, it should be some kind of ability to get some information from the bonfire, and the information obtained is probably completely beyond the expectations of Huofang girl, that's why Huofang girl showed her current expression.

"Can you stop looking at me like that?" The mask on Fire Girl's face is a bit permeable, and her current behavior makes people feel even more uncomfortable. Joey has a feeling that he wants to activate the ring immediately. The urge to leave from here, but he still resisted the urge to escape, because he knew very well that there must be some dangerous power hidden in this ring that he didn't know. Once he missed this opportunity today, maybe he would never again Maybe you know the details of this ring.

"What did you find?" Leo walked a few steps, came to Joey's side, patted Joey on the shoulder, and then asked the fire defense girl.

"He may be a real outsider." The fire girl said with some uncertainty.

"A real outsider?" Leo was taken aback when he heard the words. It was not the first time he had heard this name. meaning. It was the first time for Joey to hear such a name, and he was puzzled, waiting for the explanation from Huofangnv.

It's just that the fire prevention girl didn't answer immediately, but went to the pile of books by the campfire and rummaged for a while, took out a book from it, flipped it quickly, finally stopped on one of the pages, and spread it out, It was placed in front of Leo and Joey.

I saw that this page was a colorful painting with a strong religious atmosphere. In the colored painting, there were gods with blurred faces, mortals suffering in the world, monsters from hell, and a sea of ​​human pus. The most eye-catching thing in this drawing is a person on the edge of the drawing. This person is lying outside the frame on the edge of the drawing, tilting his head, looking at the image in the drawing curiously.

"Is this the outsider?" Seemingly forgetting the strong malice shown by the fire girl just now, Joey leaned forward to look at the pattern, and couldn't help pointing at the person lying outside the frame on the pattern.

However, when the finger touched the pattern of the outsider, something that neither Leo nor the fire girl thought happened happened. Joey's finger did not behave as they expected, because of the dislocation of time and space. , passed through the book that was like an illusion, but actually tapped on the book, and because of the power of tapping on the book, the unprepared Huofang girl couldn't hold the book firmly, making her The book fell from his hand. However, after the book landed, it was not in the time and space where the fire girl was, but in Leo's current time and space, because at this moment Leo had already picked up the book.

"What's going on here?" The fire girl was completely confused by the scene in front of her, and the half of her face exposed under the mask was filled with a surprised expression, obviously it was the first time she encountered such a situation.

Joey didn't understand the situation in front of him at all. In his opinion, he just accidentally dropped a book in the hands of the fire girl, and he didn't know the fuss like Leo and the fire girl.

Leo looked at the book in his hand, then at Joey who was beside him, then handed the book to Joey, and said, "Give it back to her."

Joey doesn't quite understand what Leo means by doing this, because in terms of position, Leo's position is obviously closer to the Fire Defense Girl than him, so just give this book to the Fire Defense Girl, why bother to get it again? ?

It's just that he didn't understand why, so he still did it. After taking the book from Leo, he handed it to the fire girl, and the fire girl was still immersed in the abnormal situation just now. When she saw the book handed over, she also I took it without thinking too much.

Just like before, the book did not pass through Huofangnv's hands, but actually fell into Huofangnv's hands, which once again made Huofangnv fall into an extremely surprised mood.

"Sure enough." Leo said, and reached out to touch the book in the hands of the fire girl, but this time he didn't touch the book like Joey did, but walked directly through the book.

After his guess was confirmed, Leo turned his head and looked at Joey with a complicated expression, and said, "Although I don't know what other abilities you have, but from now on, you should be able to overlap with this city. connected in time and space.”

Joey didn't understand what Leo said at all. For example, words like time and space didn't understand the meaning at all, but he could understand part of the meaning, that is, he possessed an ability he didn't know. It looks very unusual.

After hearing Leo's words and recalling the situation just now, the fire defense girl also looked at Joey in surprise, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable excitement in her eyes, as if Joey had become some kind of shocking and magical existence .

"Mr. Leo, what is my ability?" He didn't like being looked at by the fire girl like this. He took two steps back and asked Leo expectantly: "It should be very useful, right?"

Leo knew that Joey must not understand some scientific explanations, so he thought for a while and said, "You can think of it this way, there are countless rooms like Wangcheng that store endless treasures, and each room has a door. No one else in the room can open it, only you can open any door and enter every room, do you think your ability is useful?"

Hearing Leo's words, Joey's breathing became heavier, and his face became even more flushed with excitement.
