Althea put down her phone, rubbed her neck, and got up from the cold ground.
The number one assassination family, the killer who beats up enemy Hakkas really deserves his reputation. The two people before were probably Mi Ji's eldest brother and younger brother, but Aisia didn't know them, and she didn't intend to.
After all, those people only have business in their eyes and don’t need friends.
This is what Mi Ji told her. His eldest brother has taught them since childhood that killers don't need friends, so the relationship between her and Mi Ji is no longer just plastic.
But she didn't have time to sigh about this now. Instead, she stepped over and squatted next to her captain.
"Really, he died again." Althea sighed.
I really suffered a big loss this time... What a shame, why do I have to choose them among the four directions?
In the situation of fishing in the water, she really has no way to defeat the enemy's assassination.
Just when Althea sighed, a layer of light yellow light of telepathy lit up on her body, and then the power of thought fluctuated for a second. The light yellow light became deeper and darker, until it became dark. Purple hair and black ominous telepathy.
If any other hunters discovered what was going on here, they would be very frightened.
That ominous thought power only exists in the dead.
Thoughts after death are the manifestation of obsessions after death, so how can they exist in the living?
Mind, that is, the special ability of this world, is the embodiment of human vitality. When a person is able to control the life force (qi) in his body and prevent it from flowing away naturally, he is called awakened mind.
Therefore, the thoughts in normal people are the energy of life. If we call them 'thoughts of life', then the corresponding energy of death that arises after death can be called 'thoughts of death'.
Not to mention that living people have thoughts of death, how can a person have both 'thoughts of life' and 'thoughts of death' at the same time? It is simply unimaginable.
But that's what happened. Althea's hand with the thought of death slowly touched the wound on the back of Matos' head that was punctured by the needle. In an instant, a twisted clock pattern appeared around the skin of the wound.
Her special ability "Twisted Clock": When the clock hand (second hand) is twisted, it can twist the time node into a different time from others. When the clock hand (minute hand) is twisted, it can go back in time for a short time, heal wounds, restore items, etc. At that time When the clock hand (hour hand) is twisted, it can quickly change time, accelerate the aging of the other party or go back to the original state.
As we all know, Nian ability is divided into six major categories, namely the strengthening system, the transformation system, the materialization system, the operation system, the release system and the most mysterious trait system.
Anyone with awakened telekinesis abilities can know their abilities through a small test. As for Althea's original body, it was the release system, which was the original telepathy power of her body. And when she switches to the state of 'Death Thought', she is a trait type.
As for why there are two situations of 'want of life' and 'want of death', Althea guessed that it may be that when the original body died, her obsession with life persisted, which caused her to be attracted by that energy, and Resurrection in the other person's body.
At this point, this strange situation of having both the power of life and death at the same time was created.
When the minute hand on the twisted clock behind Matos' head turned one tick counterclockwise, Althea removed her telepathy and patted the other party on the shoulder.
"Wake up, don't sleep."
"Ah?" Matos, who was still dead just now, moved and half sat up, covering the back of his head with a confused look on his face. "what's the situation?"
The fighting in the distance still continued, and no one paid attention to the direction of the two men. Naturally, they had no way of knowing that they were actually two corpses half a minute ago.
"You were knocked unconscious by the enemy, how do you feel?" Athea asked with concern.
"Well, it's okay, I'm fine." Matos shook his head, a little confused, "I don't even feel anything."
Naturally, he no longer feels anything. After all, his body has returned to the state before he was killed due to the effect of the "distorted clock".
If you have never been injured, there will be no pain.
It's just that any ability that defies heaven comes with a price. She can control time, and time can also destroy her.
Althea feels that she may have the most dangerous telekinesis ability in the world.
Controlling time is not something humans can have. It is the power of God. Of course, if there is a God in this world.
Every time she goes back a moment in time, her own life (time) speeds up a moment, and vice versa. When she speeds up the passage of time for others or things, her own life (time) also speeds up.
If she abuses her power, there will only be two consequences. Either exhaust one's lifespan, or rejuvenate to the point of becoming an embryo.
Therefore, in order to suppress the ability to control her increasingly powerful thoughts after death, Althea could only place "restrictions and oaths" on herself.
In other words, she can accumulate storage time by forcing herself not to enter the state of 'death thoughts'.
When she is in the state of 'generating thoughts', she can accumulate ten minutes of storage time for every minute that passes, and in the ordinary state where she is forced to be unable to use thoughts, she can accumulate one hundred minutes of storage time for every minute that passes. .
The stored time can be used to offset the price she needs to pay when using her abilities.
This will prevent her from jumping back and forth in age after using her ability, and reduce the side effects of her ability on herself.
Therefore, when there is no mission, Althea is in the state of an ordinary person. When there is a mission, she will use telekinesis, but it is limited to the ordinary telekinesis of the release system.
In short, in order to save Matos this time, she not only switched to the state of 'death thoughts', but also spent some time in it. It was a big loss.
Just as Althea was lamenting, a loud bang brought her and the confused Matos, who had just been resurrected, to reality.
The two turned their heads and discovered that the fire in the direction of Group B was bright in the distance, lighting up the entire city almost instantly.
'Holy shit, it's crazy, there are too many people! ''Support support, Team B is asking for support! ''Damn you idiot! What the hell are you doing, are you dying? ! ! '
The sound of chaotic shouting suddenly came from the earphones that fell to the ground.
Matos finally reacted and immediately picked up the headphones, "Group D received it, support immediately!!"
After saying that, he winked at Althea and said, "Let's go!"
Althea nodded, immediately jumped down with the other party, and flew between the rooftops of the dark city until they saw the area where the fighting was going on.
"Just here." Althea stopped on a rooftop.
"Can you come here?" Matos also stopped, and a wearable night vision device suddenly appeared on his head.
This is his special ability, which can materialize various reconnaissance and surveillance equipment, and belongs to the materialization system.
"Okay, this place is already covered by my firepower." Aiathea also showed a sniper rifle in her hand.
"Crazy Sniper" belongs to the original ability, with one burst shot, two scatter shots, and three burst shots.
She switched directly to third gear, firing on all cylinders.
"Eight o'clock."
"learn."
In an instant, countless light golden bullets poured out from the sniper's muzzle. The silent roar gradually suppressed the enemy's firepower on the opposite side, giving others time to counterattack.
'Thanks Althea. 'Soon the voice of colleagues from Group B came through the earphones, 'It's done, let's gather and rush straight into the villa. '
'etc. The team leader of Group A suddenly interrupted. After a while, he cursed again, "Asshole, the employer is dead!" Damn it, I worked so hard and couldn’t get the final payment this time. Damn it! '
"What's going on? Why is the employer dead??" Matos yelled into the headset.
'You're asking me how I know, damn! Dead, all dead! '
'How can it be……'
…
"Okay, it's confirmed that all the employers are dead, no one is spared."
In the villa, everyone looked at the corpses whose brains had been pierced by a single blow from the mind needle, and they all had expressions of fear and fear.
"It's scary. Only people from that family can do it."
"Fortunately, we didn't meet each other." Someone finally expressed everyone's thoughts.
"Is this the strength of top telepathic people..." someone sighed, "We haven't even seen their shadows."
"It's better not to see him." Matos subconsciously rubbed the back of his head. He always felt that it was cool there, as if he had been stabbed by that terrible needle. But he immediately shook his head to get rid of this strange thought.
Althea glanced at him and said, "Okay, the mission is over, I'm going home to rest."
Matos' mouth twitched slightly, "What did you do? You need to rest..."
"I don't want to use my telekinesis ability anymore recently," Aisiya said.
As long as she uses her thoughts, even if it is 'life thoughts', even if she does not practice, her 'death thoughts' will continue to grow until they become more and more difficult to control, which she does not want to see.
"That's just right. Recently, the association has an easy job that doesn't even require the ability to read." At this time, someone suddenly said.
"What mission is so easy?" In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up, and the lifeless atmosphere just now had long since disappeared.
The hunters they assisted were indeed experts at catching fish and paddling water. Althea couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
But then again, if not for this, she might have left the organization and become a free person.
"The day after tomorrow, this year's hunter test will begin." The man said with a brisk tone, "It is said that the content of this test requires a lot of auxiliary examiners. There is still a shortage of manpower. Maybe we can make some pocket money."
"Damn it, why didn't you tell me about such a good mission earlier?" Matos said in surprise, "In previous years, we didn't need so many people, and it was difficult to grab a spot."
"It's not because we are still on a bodyguard mission. It's no use saying otherwise. I thought it must be too late, but now it's just a coincidence."
"That's great, let's do it." Matos clapped his hands excitedly and immediately took out his mobile phone to sign up.
"I don't think you should be too happy too soon." Another person said, "You may not know, but last year there was a dangerous person in the hunter exam, a madman, who seriously injured the examiner and was finally eliminated. This year That person will most likely continue to take the exam..."
Everyone gasped when they heard this.
Generally speaking, the Hunter Examination provides the Hunter Association with a channel for continuous input of fresh blood by screening outstanding ordinary people. Therefore, even if the candidates are powerful in martial arts, they are still ordinary people who have not learned telekinesis. For them, it is an unbridgeable gap for professional hunters, and there is no danger at all.
However, in the hunter tests over the years, there have always been geniuses who awakened their telekinesis on their own, which has led to ridiculous things happening where the examiner was unable to beat the candidate. Unfortunately, such an accident occurred in the last hunter test.
In other words, this time the Hunter Association's assistant exam task may not be as easy as everyone hopes.
"Forget it, I've applied for it, the worst thing is to stay away from that person." Matos pretended to be relaxed, "Besides, that dangerous person may not come to participate this year."
…
Soon, early the next morning, the association had the results.
"Asia, it's done!" Matos waved his hand and said, "We'll book the airship tickets and set off now."
"Where will this year's hunter test be held?" Althea asked, "Is it far away?"
The test will start tomorrow. If it is too far away, the time may be a little tight.
"It's not far. It's right next door to the city of Kent in the ancient Ganyu Kingdom. It's very close to here." Matos replied, "You can get there in three hours by airship, just in time."
"Well, let's go."
Althea shrugged indifferently, and at this moment, her phone buzzed twice, which was a message from her cheap partner.
[Magician: Hey, I'm going to take the magician level test tomorrow. I may not be able to reply to messages in time. Don't miss me too much~/Kiss]
[Hey, hey, hey: My dear, you haven’t passed the magician’s license exam yet? Come on, baby~]
[Magician: Hey, the examiner’s magic skills last year were really bad. I just threw him two playing cards, and he was disqualified/poor]
[Hey, hey, hey: Shocked, why is this happening? It’s really too much! /touch your head]
[Hey hey hey: You must work hard to pass the exam this year and let everyone see your strength! Come on, my dear! /爱/爱]
[Magician: I’ll do my best, little Apple, don’t miss me too much~/love/shyness]
[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, don’t worry, baby, I won’t miss you, I love you~/bixin/shy]
Althea resisted the urge to vomit after replying the message, turned off the phone, and then...
Then she realized that something seemed not quite right.
Tomorrow, the magician test, I was eliminated last year because of a conflict with the examiner...
I don’t know why, but I always feel like I’ve seen each other before.
Forget it, it’s not a big deal anyway, I’m too lazy to think about it.
So an hour later, Athea and Matos boarded the airship flying to Kent City together.
