"Wrap it up, mix it up, take a dip..."
She shook the small square in her hand up and down for a while. After the two colors were completely mixed together, Leinna patted the square back into the mirror and pointed it at Dean.
"After the metal block is completely fused by [Water Observer], the pre-steps of covering will be completed."
"The first is the lack of coverage..."
She lifted the mirror and summoned a water spirit from the teapot next to Dean.
This water spirit is still in its previous form, and is no different from the individual summoned by Leina before.
From the outside, it looks like a long, weird-shaped creature with a single eye on its head. Its whole body is filled with a layer of gray-white mist, covering everything except the one eye.
Dean visually measured the length of the water spirit. If placed on the ground, it would probably reach around his chest. As a reconnaissance summoned creature, it was a bit excessive.
It's easy to spot.
Apart from its slightly weird appearance, there is nothing special about this water spirit. Even the energy fluctuations are so small that they are almost non-existent.
This means that it has extraordinary concealment and can perform detection tasks well, but it also means that this creature named "Water Spirit" is weak to a certain level.
Dean stretched out his hand curiously and touched the water spirit. Leina did not stop him, which showed that the water spirit was indeed as dangerous as it appeared.
Dean's movements suddenly became more bold. He used his fingers to scratch the layer of mist on the surface of the water spirit's body, and found that this thing seemed to be just a blindfold. He almost didn't feel anything, and he passed through easily. Shui Ling's body.
Indeed, as Leinna said, it is not an entity.
Dean took back his hand, rubbed his fingertips, and judged.
Considering the actual conditions, it is reasonable. After all, if it were a physical thing, this half a pot of tea would probably not be enough to create a foot. Then the restrictions would be even greater, and it would not be as hidden as the current situation.
And there seems to be no sanity. The one eye on the top of the head is empty and lifeless. It is more like a camera than an organ. It is only used as a prop to transmit information to the owner. All activities depend on Leinna as the controller. Perform operations.
Dean asked with some interest: "What is the specific scope of activities?"
This kind of thing cannot be expressed in words as it is in person. Leinna directly controlled the water spirit to move around in a circle. Dean roughly estimated that this water spirit with the teapot as its "birthplace" can only move around the circle with the teapot as the center and the radius. Activities should be carried out within a range of about three meters.
The limitations are too great.
Looking at the water spirit floating in mid-air like a created phantom, Dean silently evaluated in his mind.
Although it can appear anywhere there is water and is extremely advantageous in gathering intelligence, the target is too big and there are no other abilities...
No wonder The Exorcist doesn't think highly of it.
Although saying this may be suspected of hurting Leina's little heart, Dean also believes that the potential of [Water Observer] is very limited.
He is not very optimistic about the development prospects of this exorcism weapon.
And Leina, who knew nothing about it, continued to show off her abilities.
"Then cover the metal..."
Leina shook the mirror in her hand, and the exorcism weapon trembled slightly after receiving the command. The light gray metal instantly poured out from around the single eye on Shui Ling's head, and then quickly went down, wrapping Shui Ling's body.
Slender arms and legs were also molded from its original unknown shape.
The water spirit wrapped in a metal shell slowly fell from the sky above the teapot. Dean noticed that the water spirit deliberately avoided him, and its movements were a bit more flexible than the previous rigidity.
It seems that this "covering" method not only isolates the influence of the "birthplace" on it, but also enhances Shui Ling's intelligence.
“This gives you access to the outside world.”
Leina knocked on the shell of the water spirit and said with a proud expression.
This was a skill she showed in order to become a full-time employee, and it was enough to make a living. Leinna was very confident about this and would definitely be able to impress her future boss.
In fact, Dean did tend to be impressed.
Although the water spirit after completing the coverage is still not much stronger, it is at least more useful than before.
And being able to cover it with metal, does it also mean that other items can be used to cover and transform the water spirit?
Many ideas for further developing this ability flashed through Dean's mind.
"Does the exorcist know about your development direction?"
Leina nodded.
"Know part of it."
"Part of it? Why hide it from them?"
Noticing Dean's confused look, Leinna explained: "If they know too much, it will be difficult for me to stay in District 13."
"So I only said that there is a way for Shui Ling to contact the outside world, but I didn't talk about coverage."
Dean was really curious now. He couldn't understand why Leina had such strong resistance to the exorcist.
Under his questioning, Leina didn't hide anything. She only hesitated for a moment and chose to tell the truth.
"I can't get used to the exorcist atmosphere."
"The most annoying thing is the attitude of thinking that I have been given a chance to change my destiny, so I should be grateful and act like a horse for them."
Squeezing the exorcism weapon in her hand, Leina looked at the water spirit standing in front of her, her expression darkening little by little.
Her experience of becoming an exorcist was actually not that wonderful.
It's almost forced.
Although the exorcist's starting point should be said to be good, Leina could not swallow the sigh in her heart.
Perhaps others could choose to let go under the exorcist's brainwashing sermons, but Leinna couldn't.
She couldn't be such a great person, and she didn't want to.
It may seem selfish to say this, and there may also be a bunch of people who have lofty ambitions but cannot keep up with their own conditions to jump out and condemn her from a righteous perspective, but this is Leina's truest thought.
She is just a small-minded, money-grubbing, selfish and lazy woman.
I don’t have any big ambitions. I just want to find a job with good pay and live the life I like.
Leina didn't want to be a hero, let alone be forced to be one.
She respects everyone who wants to be a hero and recognizes their greatness, but if she doesn’t want to be a hero, she doesn’t want to be scorned, right?
Fidgeting with the exorcism weapon in her hand, Leina muttered in a low voice: "The exorcist's utilitarian attitude also makes me feel very uncomfortable."
"Actually, I wanted to say that a long time ago."
"Those people don't have to treat the [Water Observer] as a defective product and push it into my hands. This exorcism weapon is not as mediocre as they imagined."
At least Leinna thought it was pretty good.
Putting aside her prejudice against exorcists, she actually has a very high opinion of [Water Observer].
The two have always been very happy getting along with each other.
Maybe this is why [Water Observer] agrees with her?
Dean, who didn't know much about exorcism weapons, didn't know that not every exorcist had the ability to change the appearance of the [Water Observer] like Leina.
This is a sign of her deep control over the [Water Observer], and if this level of control is exposed, even if the exorcist does not have a high opinion of the [Water Observer], it will inevitably increase his opinion of Leina. degree of importance.
This is why she desperately wants to find a way out.
If she stays any longer, she will be discovered to be a genius!
If you don't run away quickly, do you want to be tied to death on that rotten ship? !
Leinna felt her scalp go numb when she thought about the education those "genius members" received.
Being a genius as an exorcist is really not a good status.
It is not as simple as cultivating the Holy Father and the Holy Mother. The Holy Father and the Holy Mother at least know how to cherish their own lives. The education that elite exorcists receive is to abandon their little love for themselves and to perceive the world. Great love embraces more lives.
It's just a matter of training people to be fools.
Leina was lucky enough to sit in for a while, and she felt numb after coming out.
The intensity of the brainwashing made her feel a little self-blame, feeling that she was too decadent and didn't love the world deeply enough.
One can imagine how brainwashed those little fools who are not as strong-willed as her will be.
Leina couldn't help but tremble all over just thinking about it.
Being a genius to someone else will only result in your troubles being taken away, but being a genius as an exorcist will only result in your brain being taken away.
She didn't want to be a fool in her own eyes.
Therefore, the sooner we decide on turning from darkness to light, the better!
Even if she is flipping, she still has to sell herself!
