Seer Third Stage
With the Shepherds's appearance, Xiao Xiao decided to put it aside for the time being.
Even Yang Jia felt that such a guy was undefinable, and he himself was not very clear about him either. Perhaps he was indeed the strangest Aberrant Creature in history, but since even the city did not notice him and issue an order to get rid of him, the strangers naturally did not bother to pay attention to him. In fact, if it were not driven by the city, even if there was a raging flood, the strangers would not bother to care.
After all, this is a fake world, just a huge stage.
What does it matter whether a tragedy or a comedy, an inspirational film or a disaster film is performed on stage?
However, the three-stage enhancement is indeed something he is more concerned about.
Those with less than 100 points are just newbies, while those with less than 1,000 points can only be considered veterans at best.
Having completed the three-stage enhancement of 6,000 points, it means that I can be considered a top player among the strangers.
The only regret is that the Red Eyes Club, Old Zhou Under the Bridge, and the Serpent Sisters...
... Why were only one thousand given to each side?
I have a feeling they could ask for more; surely their family isn't that poor?
Of course, since Mister Ye was the one who negotiated this for me, I had no choice but to accept it.
After all, it was said that he saved them, but in reality, it was Mister Ye and Yang Jia who joined forces to deal with Luo Shen of the Silver Bullet Family. He was just an actor who helped the then-discordant Yang Jia and Mister Ye to carry out their joint attack.
"You're leaving already?"
Seeing Xiao Xiao making a phone call, the Pink Rabbit obediently sat down and waited.
But when Xiao Xiao actually left after making the call, they were dumbfounded. "What happened to protecting me?"
"It's past midnight, the assassin has been dealt with, what's there to protect?"
Xiao Xiao glanced at her in surprise, then suddenly thought of a question, "How did you feel when the assassin appeared?"
"Assassin?"
The Pink Rabbit paused, frowned slightly, and then pounded its head.
"How strange..."
"If you hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot about it, like it wasn't that important, and I subconsciously wanted to put it aside. But before that..." She tried to remember, and after a while, she said, "I only remember the power going out, and then you suddenly pulled me into your arms and pulled out a gun. I was feeling both scared and excited..."
"Etc..."
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but interrupt, "Something sounds weird about what you're saying?"
The Pink Rabbit retorted, "Is there something wrong with it?"
Xiao Xiao thought for a moment before shaking his head helplessly, "There's nothing wrong with it, you can continue."
"Anyway, someone just barged in..."
The Pink Rabbit said, "I was probably too excited. I felt my thoughts were in complete chaos. One moment I felt scared, and the next I felt very safe. I even heard barking dogs and the sound of chainsaws cutting things... The only thing I'm sure of is that my head suddenly stopped obeying me. It was like I was drunk. All sorts of hallucinations appeared before my eyes, mysterious and fragmented."
"When I came to my senses, there was nothing left around me."
"I only remember that my buttons had been undone, and a strange protein smell filled the air..."
"..."
"Holy crap..."
Xiao Xiao was completely baffled by her. "Your Pink Maiden Gang such a big business, did you start out by staging accidents?"
What is the strange taste of protein?
What was the lingering smell in the air after the older brother, who was in a vegetative state, was killed?
"That's just how it is..."
The Pink Rabbit looked down at her buttons and exclaimed in surprise, "Look, I still haven't buttoned them up..."
"This is getting more and more outrageous..."
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but take two steps back to prove his innocence. "I didn't touch your buttons..."
What are you worried about?
The Pink Rabbit rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm not going to call the police."
"It's making me want to call the police..."
Insisting on not accepting Pink Rabbit's request for him to stay and protect her all night, Xiao Xiao left the building. Anyway, the monster killer had been dealt with, and there shouldn't be any more danger for the time being. As for the Shepherds playing some role in this matter and personally dealing with Pink Rabbit, Xiao Xiao knew very well that with his current abilities, he wouldn't be able to stop him at all.
However, the feeling she described was quite interesting.
When indigenous people are faced with supernatural forces, do their brains go into a state of shutdown?
Even afterward, the memory might be erased by an unseen force?
Then why don't Shepherds have this power, or even deliberately cultivate it?
As an indigenous person, does the power he wield come from advanced technology or from the distortion of Pain Substance?
However, one thing is certain.
As the most lucid of the indigenous people, the pain he felt probably did indeed surpass that of any other Aberrant Creature!
"The Shepherds appeared in my office."
Just after Xiao Xiao went downstairs and left, Pink Rabbit smiled smugly and then picked up the phone.
The voice on the phone sounded somewhat displeased, "What is this madman trying to do now?"
"..."
The Pink Rabbit was slightly surprised. "You also call him a madman?"
"He has given a lot to the Black Forest."
The woman's voice on the phone said, "But when he started shouting that he had to rescue us from the ranch, he had already gone mad. He believed that our world was fake, that we were just a bunch of puppets, that we were strangers. And although he was determined to fight the strangers and the Mother to the end, in his mind, he was no different from the strangers."
"It just feels like..."
The Pink Rabbit seemed to hesitate for a moment, considering how to say it, before finally saying, "He's so pitiful..."
"Although he had a very strong presence, he scared my boyfriend quite a bit..."
"But in the eyes of strangers, he's just an Anomalies, and you all think he's crazy. It's a dilemma..."
"..."
"He's not the only one who's pitiful."
The voice on the phone chuckled coldly, "If he's considered pitiful, then what are the drug test subjects?"
"Eat slowly, don't grab."
After taking a taxi home, Xiao Xiao felt quite tired.
He really put in a lot of effort to complete the special training course given by Yang Jia. He didn't sleep for two days in a row. But his understanding of the city made him feel that the hard work of the past two days was worthwhile. So, as usual, he bought three hams and fed them to the three vicious dogs that had been upgraded. He glanced at the Butcher's butcher shop on the street before slowly returning to his still empty home.
"It really needs to be strengthened..."
I thought of the twisted fruits in this city, and then of the unfathomable Shepherds.
The invisible pressure also increased.
The unknown, curiosity, and the pressure to survive all fueled Xiao Xiao's renewed desire for ability.
Perhaps, only when I become the lord of Black Gate City and see what's in the Old Chairman's safe will I truly understand all of this? And completing the third stage of enhancement is the most crucial step towards that goal.
However, the first stage of the path of the insightful is keen perception.
The second stage is a comprehensive perspective, and the action prediction and environmental utilization that extend from this perspective.
So, what will the third stage be?
I sat in the bedroom, because my mother was still in the hospital, so there was no need to worry about disturbing anything.
Xiao Xiao took out the information card and placed it on his old computer case. As if the City Will had sensed his thoughts, the first thing on the pop-up dark red page was an introduction to the Enhancement Element of the third stage of the Insightful Path:
[Void Gaze: 3000 points/unit]
[Ability Description: He desperately wanted to understand that thing, thinking about it day and night. To see it, he tried everything, abandoning his work and life, finally wandering the blurred streets, burning every brain cell, just to satisfy his desire for that one glimpse. When he finally saw that thing one day, he smiled and forcefully gouged out his own eyes...]
[Tip: Although no one may be able to find fault with you again, remember this:]
Some things are illegal to see!
[...]
"What kind of nonsense is this?"
Xiao Xiao watched, his eyes narrowing. "One minute it's intimidation, the next it's warning."
"Couldn't there be at least one instance where the ability was properly explained?"
"..."
Perhaps because the paths of the Strong Ones and the Insightful Ones have been figured out, and since the second stage has been completed, they will naturally want to complete the third stage. So the City Will has no worries about finding a market, and simply let itself go.
Compared to other Enhancement Element, this seems more like a way to discourage people from redeeming it.
What's with all this talk about legality...?
Do you think I'd just sit at home watching women's bathhouses when I have nothing better to do?
While complaining, he calmed himself down and then resolutely chose to "buy".
"Bite..."
With a crisp sound, Xiao Xiao instantly felt a chill run down his spine.
He felt a sudden, inexplicable palpitation, and abruptly turned around, staring intently at what was behind him.
But that was just where the bedroom door was; there was nothing there.
At this moment, the inexplicable palpitation made Xiao Xiao not even dare to breathe, and he just sat there with his back stiff.
Unbeknownst to him, the three Eye of the Seer had slowly separated from his body and floated quietly in mid-air. This time, however, these three eyes did not seem to be under Xiao Xiao's control. Instead, driven by a mysterious force, they gradually approached each other, then carefully touched and merged. Soon, the three eyes gradually merged into one.
When the pupils of all three eyes completely overlapped, Xiao Xiao felt a "buzzing" sound.
The world around him collapsed in an instant.
"Is the young man pitiful?"
Inside the pink building, the Pink Rabbit was casually eating potato chips and saying:
"I think he's pretty cool. He possesses such mysterious power and can easily control the fate of other people..."
"..."
"Hehe..."
Only a cold laugh came from the phone, "A person whose eyes are destined to see further and further away finds himself increasingly unable to understand himself."
Isn't that pathetic?
