Several years have passed since the first cricket fight was held. During this period, countless contestants shined in the event, making countless cricket fight fans remember their names.
However, in that era when many heroes came together, only one person became the absolute king of this event.
In the past 36 cricket fighting competitions, he has won 34 championships.
"But I still don't understand what sinking means?"
Vadim interrupted the middle-aged man's memories and asked questions.
Although the time among the stars was extremely short, he felt an unprecedented shock from it, which was far more profound than the evolution promised by "Blue Eyes".
At the same time, it also made Vadim realize that there is an independent space outside the world he is familiar with, and in that space there are existences that are unimaginable to humans.
gods.
The name "Nothingness" he heard conformed to all human imaginations of gods.
"Every participating Cricket has a unique ability, which is the key to their victory in the fierce competition. Even for us, Cricket's talents are uncontrollable."
Crickets in name only possess independent thinking, which means that even if they follow the same path, they can still develop completely different abilities.
They didn't know what kind of cricket they would get until the ceremony was completed.
"And you, young man, your ability is really..."
"Nothing" did not continue. He knew what a strong blow this would be to a novice who had just come into contact with psychic powers.
Of course, I also learned these principles from my own students.
Abandoning the physical body and existing as pure consciousness is the way to the upper world. This also means that no matter where they have come from, they will leave behind everything in the past when they complete their "ascension".
In another world, they have almost unlimited time.
This will inevitably make them farther and farther away from their past selves, thus evolving into something completely different.
Empathy, compassion, love, these qualities will also be swallowed up by that long time.
Just like the name given to them by the people at that time, at the end of time, there is only nothingness left.
“But I’ve heard people say that a king has the talent of a king, and a chef has the talent of a chef. Similarly, there is no strong or weak distinction between spiritual abilities.
Vadim once used his relationship with Kolo Films to contact students at Wisteria Academy and heard this sentence from them.
In fact, this sentence has always inspired countless "ordinary" ability users, making them firmly believe that their abilities will shine one day in the future.
"Oh? Have you heard of this sentence too? Is this sentence already so famous?"
"Nothingness" was startled, "Theoretically speaking, this sentence is correct. As long as you have enough spiritual strength, no matter how weak your ability sounds, you can become an existence that cannot be underestimated."
This reminded him of a fight he had in a cricket fighting competition.
His disciples proved with practical actions that even the ability of "never getting choked while eating", which is not expected by anyone, is enough to win the championship in the cricket fighting competition.
You must know that after the previous experimental competition systems, the champion of any subsequent cricket fighting competition will be a well-deserved strong among humans.
"But unfortunately, this sentence has nothing to do with you, because your spiritual power is also very weak. It is like a fire that can be extinguished by a gust of wind at any time... What are you doing?"
"Nothing" looked at Vadim in confusion. The latter walked to the corner after suffering the blow, slowly sat on the bare concrete floor, and looked up at the blue sky.
"Don't pay attention to me, from now on, I am a mushroom."
This is a psychological therapy that a psychiatrist talked about on TV. The beautiful psychiatrist from District 1 believed that most mental illnesses today come from the pressure of life and society, and that corporate people are at high risk for mental illness. The essential reason for people is that they have extremely high expectations for their present and future. Once reality fails to respond to their expectations, the feeling of failed hope will deeply torture them.
Therefore, as long as we have no expectations for the future, we can fundamentally solve this problem.
For example, when you encounter setbacks, you can imagine yourself as a mushroom or a potted plant.
Just now, Vadim experienced the process from heaven to hell.
He appreciated the vastness of the stars, and once thought that he had become the one chosen by the god, but then the god told him that his abilities were almost useless, and his spiritual strength was so weak that it seemed that it would go out at any time.
Even if the "Blue Eyes" and military technology were not good enough, at least they promised that he would complete his "evolution" and surpass humans.
But if you think on the bright side...
After receiving the blessing of "Nothingness", he is at least better than mushrooms and potted plants. In this way, he will not easily lose to the employees of the weeding company and the contestants participating in the mushroom pulling competition in the future.
"Mushroom? You can't be a mushroom. You still have to participate in the 37th Cricket Fighting Competition."
"Nothingness" said quickly.
After all, times have changed, and the era of psychic energy has long ended. Nowadays, contestants in the Cricket Fighting Competition no longer have the qualifications to be picky. Even the crickets that could only be used as experience babies in the past have the need to be cultivated.
"But you just said that my abilities are useless."
This made Vadim not even willing to know what his abilities were.
"Having said that, strength and weakness are relative. You just need to be better than other contestants. Since this is your first time participating in the competition and you lack experience, it will be considered a success if you can finally squeeze into the top three."
"I see."
Vadim used the mushroom acting method to gradually adjust his mentality. After a long time, he said, "Tell me, what is my ability?"
"Attractive."
"What?"
"When you activate your ability, the eyes of people around you will be attracted to you."
This ability is closely related to Vadim's inner world.
Although he claimed that he was willing to be a "guinea pig" or "Cricket No. 1" and comforted himself countless times that his name was not important, deep down in his heart, he, like many gang members in District 17, had the same fantasy. The day when he became famous all over the world.
He wanted the name Vadim to be heard, and so the spirit responded to his wish.
Now, he can easily attract the attention of those around him.
However, for a wanted criminal, the side effects of this ability seem to be a bit strong.
"Wait a minute, I don't understand."
Vadim tried to collect his thoughts, "You said that when my ability is activated, the eyes of the people around me will be focused on me?"
"Um."
"Then what?"
He had been waiting for "Nothingness" to continue speaking.
If understood in game terms, his ability can be regarded as a forced taunting skill, which made Vadim think of many skill combinations.
For example, when he is attacked while using forced taunt, he will have a chance to unleash a devastating counterattack spiral on those around him who attack him.
No matter how simple and crude numerical enhancement, such as adding 100 points of armor, it is acceptable.
But the introduction of "Nothingness" ended here and was not continued for a long time.
"No more, this is all you can do."
The answer of "Nothing" once again extinguished Vadim's enthusiasm. Mushroom psychotherapy was no longer enough. From now on, he decided to try potted plant therapy.
Vadim really didn't understand, what was the difference between the effect of this ability and him howling in public?
He doesn't even need to speak now, his status as a wanted criminal automatically makes him the center of attention in public places.
He decided to end the discussion on the topic of psychic abilities, "Why are you so enthusiastic about the cricket fighting competition?"
"That's because it's not just our entertainment."
The tone of "Nothingness" sounded much more serious. He said, "This is also one of the ways to compare our development and research of psychic abilities. Only those who have honed the power of control to the extreme can win the championship of this event. .”
Before the Cricket Fighting Competition, their understanding of each other's psychic powers was very vague.
Being at this level, it is certainly impossible for them to recruit people to compare notes after dinner. Some small frictions in their opinion may bring unimaginable disasters to the lower world.
The power of domination...
Vadim tried to understand these concepts. The recording function attached to the "Overload" system made his memory and analysis abilities much higher.
This is not the name of the United Government's psionic research agency. In his understanding, the domination and rewriting psionic powers mentioned in "Nothingness" are variants of interference psionic powers, or they have been refined to the point of interference psionic powers. The product born after the ultimate.
That is also an area that today's psychics cannot touch.
Obviously, "Void" is the leader in the field of disruptive psionic powers, and his "ability to forcefully attract the attention of surrounding people after being activated" is also in line with people's definition of disruptive psionic powers. If it is put into a team battle, this Ability may also play some role.
"Nothingness" proudly mentioned to him more than once that he was the top three contestants in multiple cricket fighting competitions, which meant that he was also among the top three beings among the gods in controlling the use of this spiritual energy. .
But then, another question appeared that made him think deeply.
"Nothingness" mentioned that someone won the championship of the 34th Cricket Fighting Competition.
If that's the case...
"So, after the first cricket fighting competition, you never defeated your disciple again?"
"A disciple may not be inferior to a teacher."
This problem of "nothingness" has long been dismissed and admitted very frankly.
After the first few defeats, he would still use excuses such as "the remote connection is too stuck", "the cricket is not strong", "stomach feels uncomfortable today", etc. However, after experiencing day after day of failures, he had to admit The speed at which his disciple grew was really astonishing, and he could only feel that the other party was worthy of being the prophesied Holy Son.
What's more, if you look at this problem from another perspective, if the disciple is so strong, it naturally means that he, the master, has taught well.
In the words of his disciple, this is a win-win deal.
"But if I understand correctly, there was only one year between the first cricket fighting competition and the second one."
Even if he is a genius, it is difficult for Vadim to imagine what kind of genius can transcend the status of a human being to a god in just one year.
"We have to mention the source of our power. Take you as an example. If I ask you to get up right now, hone your psychic powers day and night, and risk everything to win something that you are not really interested in. Champion, how would you feel?”
Vadim didn't answer immediately.
But he felt as if "nothingness" had seen through his heart.
In fact, he was not interested in the cricket fighting competition, and after knowing that his ability was useless, he didn't want to move even more.
"It's okay, I know what you're thinking."
"Nothingness" continued, "You see, even if you choose my path, that guy's influence is still rooted deep in your heart, exerting an influence on you that even you are not aware of."
The "virus" called laziness.
It is almost written in the genes of all living things.
"If it's him, he should remind you to have a good rest and don't tire yourself. Maybe something good will happen when you wake up tomorrow."
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but after hearing these words, Vadim actually yawned.
It was obvious that he had just woken up, but he felt sleepy.
"The way he exists is different from us, and he has never competed with anyone for believers. However, when others realized the threat, they suddenly discovered that almost all believers were affected by him to a greater or lesser extent."
Before this, even the consciousnesses that had existed in the upper world for countless epochs had never seen such an evil existence.
Gain power through faith and knowledge of living beings.
Vadim vaguely understood the source of the spiritual energy of the "gods". Because of this, they wanted to create churches in human society, and even once allowed the churches to spread to every corner of the world.
At this moment, he was like an archaeologist, listening to the deeds from the past.
The only question is, what virtue and ability does he have?
A few days ago, he was a "guinea pig" for military technology. The company implanted the "overload" system in him just to obtain experimental data from him.
The executives of Kolo Films hope to use him to eradicate dissidents.
In fact, no one cares about "Vadim"'s life or death.
"Nothing"'s attitude of telling everything made Vadim feel extremely unreal.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"that is because……"
He seemed to hear "Nothingness" also yawn, "This city is too boring, I really have nothing to do."
…
After that, there was a long silence.
This was not the answer Vadim imagined, but it also made him realize a fact.
And this fact seems to explain everything.
"You were influenced by him too."
"Yes."
"Nothingness" was noncommittal, "Even for us, it is inevitable."
Thanks to lyrical000 for the 6,000 starting coins!
Small theater its two hundred and thirty-seven:
A certain day, a certain year, a certain month, a Saturday, noon
During lunch break, the members of the Junior Death Crab Detective Team found the owner of the farm.
The wind chimes treated them to the highest standard, and the desert environment simulated through technological means made them feel like they were back home.
But during this trip, the elders in the tribe also assigned them some tasks.
This is a great opportunity for them to learn about human society and other ethnic groups.
Night Heron acted as the translator and said, "The Death Crabs want to visit the great white shark you raise."
It is said that this was also the original dream of wind chimes.
When she first came to the farm, she wanted to have a great white shark in the lake.
The farmer seems to have a fondness for majestic animals.
Feng Chime agreed and led the young Death Crab detective team to the lake.
Compared with when the farm was first established, there were more and more sardines in the lake. When they saw the wind chimes, the fish immediately gathered towards her happily.
"Are they sharks?"
Ye Heron was a little confused. This seemed to be different from the shark she knew.
"They're called sardines, and they're a distant relative of the shark."
Feng Chime smiled and explained to Ye Lu and the Death Crabs that this was the explanation Song Lan gave her back then.
It also took her a long time to learn the difference between sardines and sharks.
"But the size difference between them is also huge."
"That's because they're not ready yet."
The wind chime snapped its fingers and gave orders to the eager sardines in the lake, "Fish, use swarm transformation quickly!"
