Ten seconds later, Vera glanced at Luo Qing, whose face was still red, and slowly made an interpretation:
"The activation method of telepathy should be contact... It was Luo Qing who carried him into the car when he was unconscious, and he was handcuffed by Luo Qing. There must have been contact between the two of them."
"So...because the newly awakened ones cannot control their abilities very well, they have already activated them without us noticing. As a result, the target of telepathy is already Luo Qing."
"Then, as for the price..." Vera frowned and looked around everyone: "The contract ability is to read other people's thoughts, and the price is to speak out other people's thoughts?"
"No..." Xiaobai, who had been observing Shen Mi, suddenly said, his voice as empty as ever:
"If you pry into other people's secret thoughts, you must reveal the truth of the world to others."
This sentence completely translated Vera's guess, causing everyone present to think deeply...
Shen Mi was still a little confused for a while, and kept reciting Xiaobai's words silently.
Vera said to herself:
"The price for spying on the secret is to reveal the truth... This is really... a strange payment logic."
"If the target is just thinking about the real situation, then what is the cost? For example... I am thinking that there are 28 hours in a day, and I can just repeat this sentence?"
No one answered…
Vera showed an expectant smile on her face: "Let's test it." After saying that, he walked directly to Shen Mi and stretched out his right hand wearing a black leather glove to signal Shen Mi.
Shen Mi sighed softly and put her palm on Vera's hand.
As soon as he made contact, a spiritual feeling suddenly appeared in Shen Mi's consciousness, like an extension of his soul, which immediately tended to flow towards Vera.
Shen Mi carefully controlled this wonderful feeling and found that she could control the extension of her spirituality, but she was not very proficient in it, which caused her spirituality to be a bit unruly...
However, as time passes, spirituality becomes more flexible and easier to manipulate.
Shen Mi felt happy. This meant that the transmission and reception of telepathy could be controlled, and the ability to telepathy would not be triggered immediately when encountering anyone... The subjective consciousness can control it, which is far better than passive triggering. This can save a lot of trouble and out-of-control situations. .
Luo Qing, who was standing next to him, saw the palms of the two people were in close contact and muttered dissatisfiedly:
"Let's start quickly!"
After saying that, he immediately realized that this seemed to add evidence to his "secret love", and his face turned red again.
Shen Mi let go of her spirituality and let it flow into Vera's body along her palms...
"Hey...Are all boys so sloppy nowadays? My hair hasn't been washed for a long time, and my face is all greasy..."
This is talking about unpredictable...
Shen Mi withdrew her palm and could still hear what Vera said:
"Halo, he couldn't have heard it..."
"Don't think about it anymore, don't think about it anymore, don't think about it anymore..."
Sure enough, the back is just a repeater...
Shen Mi was not in a hurry to pay the price, because as expected, the original sin did appear, and a slight headache was coming, just like the headache he had at the beginning, but it only got worse as time went by.
Is this original sin?
Experiencing the original sin of headache again, Shen Mi raised her head and smiled back at Vera who was still reading:
"You think I'm dirty."
The headache stopped suddenly!
Vera's face was full of surprise, with a hint of apology, and she was obviously a little embarrassed, but Luo Qing next to her laughed, and seemed to have dissipated a lot of tension.
Shen Mi curled her lips... It was confirmed by the second attempt just now - Sure enough, the price is to tell the target the truth in her mind. The conclusion that Vera had in mind just now is her true emotional tendency... She is a bit Dislike the unpredictable and dirty.
Facts, truth, are all ways of paying the price!
"Um...you delayed it for too long and failed to achieve the purpose of the test." Vera paused and felt a little embarrassed: "Originally, I wanted the sun to rise in the east and set in the west, but you took too long and made my mind wander. Already…”
"Again…"
Vera stretched out her palm again, Shen Mi did the same thing, and immediately heard the echo:
"It's two o'clock in the night now... I'm staying up late again."
The headache came again, and Shen Mi didn't stop at all this time: "You're thinking, 'It's two o'clock at night...you're staying up late again'."
Then he added: "The headache is gone."
"Sure enough!" Vera turned to look at Luo Qing and Rebecca, and smiled: "Repeating what is on your mind is also a statement of facts, and it can also be used as a method of payment."
"Once you figure out the price, the most important problem will be solved..." Rebecca next to her also yawned and reminded: "This guarantees that he will not die from a headache."
…
Indeed, the headache disappeared, and Shen Mi felt relieved.
"Okay! Luo Qing, you can continue with the rest..." Vera nodded to Luo Qing.
Still have to go on...
Shen Mi suddenly looked forward to the next test, which came from the novelty and excitement of becoming a superpower. However, her rationality told her to be careful and not to reveal that she was a time traveler.
A world full of supernatural powers will definitely not be too simple...
Luo Qing did not give Shen Mi too many opportunities to think divergently. When he regained his energy, he picked up the paper and continued to read:
"Your contract title is 'Heart Nightmare'. Each newly awakened person will be given a title by Pandora, which will be determined by the measurement of the spirit puppet..."
"As a contractor, you need to use your abilities carefully, swear not to harm ordinary ironmen with your contracted abilities, and promise to keep this as a secret so that ordinary ironmen don't know about it..."
After speaking, he placed the two booklets in his hands in front of Shen Mi.
"Heart-nightmare..." He smacked the word several times at first, but without much association, Shen Mi lowered his head and observed the two books.
The book is red, and the steel nails on it are shining, solemn and solemn. The bumps on the cover form a pattern of two straight swords crossing and piercing the heart. At the top are five eye-catching characters - "Covenant of the Contractors" .
The other is a pure black book. The same concave and convex cover forms two crossed death scythes in the center. A huge water droplet drips directly below the intersection. This should represent blood. There are also two words on the top - " Curse".
Opening the "Contractor's Covenant", there are small red letters written on it like blood:
"The contracting parties swore an oath:
First, obey the laws of the Ironborn.
Second, illegal gains obtained through contract capacity and at the expense of exceeding Ironborn laws will be taken back by Pandora and punished in accordance with the relevant regulations of "Heavenly Punishment"...
third……"
Another book "Heavenly Punishment" is:
"The purpose of the legislation is to punish criminals and protect the Ironborn. According to the Contractor's Convention, the Ironborn Criminal Code is formulated with reference to and in conjunction with the Alliance Government, the only government agency of the Ironborn on the mainland of Rodinia. This law serves as the contractor's Criminal punishment standards.
First, the mission of this law...to fight against the criminal behavior of all contractors and ensure the safety of the Alliance government, Pandora Agency, and all Ironborn...
Second, crimes are legal and everyone is equal...
Third, the punishment must be proportional to the crime...
Fourth, the concept of crime, crimes are classified into negligence, intentionality, applicable age...
…
Eighth, corresponding content
1. Must comply with the management of Pandora Institution.
2. After awakening the contract, the new contractor must abide by the testing, identification, and archiving of the Pandora agency, and must obey the arrangements of the local Pandora Supervision Office...If he disobeys, he will be punished depending on the situation, ranging from three months to one year in prison.
………
7. ...If the circumstances are particularly egregious, they will be punished for violating other regulations of heavenly punishment, and will also be judged as exiled contracted persons.
…
25. If a contractor harms a human being without reason and causes minor injuries... he shall be sentenced to a prison term of not less than one year but not more than three years. If the circumstances are serious, the prison term may be increased appropriately, up to a maximum of five years.
…
38. The crime of intentional homicide...is punishable by the death penalty.
…”
This is... quite like the "Charter" and "Punishment" of the contractor world!
Shen Mi was greatly surprised. She looked up at Luo Qing and found that the other person's face was majestic and solemn, with no trace of shyness at all.
"Oath: The new contractor, Heart Nightmare, will accept the "Contractor's Convention" and the regulations of "Heavenly Punishment"..." Luo Qing's voice was low and serious, and his gaze was silent.
Shen Mi felt goosebumps on her skin, and she tried her best to respond naturally: "I accept."
Can you not accept it... Shen Mi complained, the first clause is "new contractors must comply with the Pandora Agency's testing, identification, and archiving..." - Violators will be sentenced to indefinite imprisonment from three months to one year!
"Please read aloud all the regulations of the "Contractor's Convention" and "Heavenly Punishment" in sequence!" Luo Qing's meticulous guidance.
Her eyes were full of determination, as if she was worshiping... Shen Mi raised her head and glanced at Luo Qing, seeing that he was like a carved stone statue, and then she focused her eyes on the red and black books again.
These two books are the law for contractors. The more the people in front of them respect them, the more it proves that they, as contractors, have social rules and abide by them...
This is actually a good thing... If there are no rules, superpowers will cause a lot of social chaos... Read it, I am a law-abiding person anyway, and I keep thinking about it.
only…….
The two books add up to hundreds of pages, and a casual estimate is tens of thousands of words...
Don't you want to go to bed early?
So formal…
Fortunately, it was not coding but reciting. I would probably lose all my hair if I coded tens of thousands of words, even if I copied them... Shen Mi picked up "Red" and "Black" while diverging his thoughts, and opened them under the gaze of the four people. On the first page, the recitation begins.
It feels like reciting the text in front of the teacher in elementary school!
Taking advantage of this effort that did not consume his brain, Shen Mi finally relaxed and mechanically read the words in the book word for word. He imitated the reading pens commonly used in early childhood education on Earth, and was able to read in a decent manner.
His mind gradually became more active. As he read, Shen Mi reviewed the world as quickly as possible from the unpredictable memory of the original owner——
Rodinia continent.
This world has been proven to be a planet, with the continent Rodinia surrounded by oceans...
Humans on the mainland call themselves the "Iron People" and have continued to thrive to this day... It is said that the Iron People civilization originated from the huge island in the northeastern corner of the Rodinia continent, Ayer Kula Island.
The Iron People also have racial distinctions. There are yellow-skinned people called Tang people, tall and strong Dongsi people, fair-skinned Europa people, and Hesse people with almost brown-black skin... All of them started from Ayer at the same time. Ercula Island came out and became the master of Rodinia mainland.
People from the Tang Dynasty... undoubtedly have yellow characteristics; the captain Vera in front of me should actually belong to the East Slavs, tall and strong... East Slavs... East Slavs?
