This is why people sometimes suddenly lose control and do things they wouldn't dare to do at ordinary times.
Theoretically, two personalities cannot manifest at the same time. If one personality awakens, the other will fall asleep.
But in fact, there is an extremely special situation - when the willpower of the first personality is extremely strong, enough to suppress the second personality under any extreme stimulation, then the second personality will be powerfully awakened in the process.
The first personality obliterates self-awareness and becomes an unconscious spiritual body like a puppet.
In this process, the remaining "body" of the second personality will bring out a part of the mental power that was originally suppressed in the subconscious. Although this little mental power brought out is completely a drop in the ocean in terms of the total amount of mental power possessed by the human subconscious.
, but compared to the mental power possessed by the main consciousness, it is extremely powerful.
This is the "self-spirit".
During the awakening process, the "self spirit" will produce some mental attack abilities that are close to illusions. Although they are not as diverse as real illusions, they are often extremely powerful.
A new trick can be eaten all over the world - this is the best portrayal of the ability and characteristics of the "self spirit".
The awakening of the "self spirit" is very random. Even Li Mengnan's line of magicians has not recorded a 100% method for awakening the "self spirit". It can be said that the only way to awaken the "self spirit" is
The only way is to encounter the illusory odds in the moment of life and death.
In line with the principle of safety first, Li Mengnan has never thought of awakening his "self spirit". After all, for him, as long as he can practice illusion to a certain level, its power is no worse than that of his "self spirit".
Moreover, illusion is better in universality than "self-spirit". Most of the things that "self-spirit" can do, illusion can do, but what illusion can do, "self-spirit" may not be able to do.
It can be done.
Unexpectedly, he was forced out of his "self" during the test at the HX Research Institute.
Of course, here at the HX Research Institute, it should be called an "alien" - a mutated copy of the subconscious mental body.
"You are using your lives to pile up 'alien' awakened ones... Don't your former exorcists have successors?"
Li Mengnan's tone was calm. This was not an accusation, just a question.
He no longer used the title "Self Spirit", but directly changed the name to the official name "Alien". On the one hand, it was easier for both parties to understand and communicate, and on the other hand, the latter was relatively more powerful.
Just like "HX Research Institute Wanrenya Branch" and "HX Research Institute Wangbatuozi Branch", although the institutions are of the same level, the strong local flavor of the latter is enough to make people complain to death.
Facts have once again proven that it is very important to have a resounding name when traveling in the world... By the way, these two branches are also the real and official establishment of the HX Research Institute.
Wei Mao smiled bitterly, exhaled a long stream of white smoke, shook his head and said: "Yes, in fact, the institute has been encouraging orthodox exorcists to establish sects and recruit disciples, but the results have not been great. I think you should understand the reason.
…”
Li Mengnan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he understood what Wei Mao was referring to.
No matter which line of inheritance, the most important thing is the disciple's qualifications. This is not because the requirements are harsh, but because the spiritual practice of an exorcist is not as good as the physical practice of a warrior. "Diligence can make up for weakness" is completely inapplicable in the inheritance of exorcists.
of.
Although those with high qualifications may not be able to reach a level consistent with their qualifications, those with mediocre qualifications will find it difficult to even get started throughout their lives.
This is a cruel threshold that cannot be said to be fair.
Throughout history, there are many exorcists from all walks of life who are amazingly talented and beautiful, but they have never been able to recruit as many disciples as warriors and form a large scale in the world. The inheritance method with only a small number of people is destined to be a dragon without seeing the end.
The flow of land gods.
Even within the lineage of magicians, there are very few who are truly qualified to practice illusions.
In short, the cultivation cannot keep up with the consumption... It is no wonder that the HX Research Institute takes such extreme measures to mass-produce awakened aliens.
Li Mengnan doesn't want to talk about humanity. The occurrence of any supernatural event will cause far more deaths and injuries than the death toll in a test like this from the HX Institute. If you do nothing because of the so-called "humanity", that would be the greatest inhumanity to ordinary people.
.
What's more, all paths are chosen by the testers themselves. HX Research Institute only gives them a chance to decide their own destiny, and there is no coercion in the process.
You must bear the consequences of your choices. This is a truth that people must understand when living in this world.
Li Mengnan picked up the gel pen on the table, read the contract word for word, and signed his name in several designated places.
Li Mengnan has never had such a lofty ideological level as to slaying demons and defending world peace. He just needs a job, a job with good remuneration.
HX Institute provides just such an opportunity.
…
Since signing the employment contract, Li Mengnan has become a formal member of the HX Research Institute.
Although the contract stated a three-year employment period, Li Mengnan knew very well that unless the HX Research Institute could find a way to mass-produce exorcists, it would be impossible for him to leave here in his life.
Fortunately, the HX Research Institute does not have too strict rules and regulations for awakened aliens like him. Except for some sudden supernatural events that must be solved immediately, the rest of the time arrangement is absolutely free and does not need to be like
Those scientific researchers also nodded every day, which was undoubtedly the gospel of heaven for Li Mengnan who was used to being lazy.
Of course, the most important thing is that the accusation of murder against him was wiped out by the HX Research Institute with extraordinary energy. He regained his identity as a free man and could finally go home to reunite with his family.
At the same time, HX Research Institute’s salary card and various benefits were also distributed.
In addition to the monthly guaranteed salary of 3,000 yuan, there is also a settlement allowance of 100,000 yuan. Although the amount is not a lot, it is enough to solve Li Mengnan's current urgent needs.
Originally, he was supposed to have a matching car, but unfortunately he didn't have a driver's license yet. Fortunately, Wei Mao promised to help him get it in a matter of minutes, and provided full guidance until he could hit the road alone.
On the afternoon of the signing day, Wei Mao personally drove Li Mengnan back home.
Because it happened to be the weekend, Xiao Hui, Minnie and Xiao Baoer were all at home. The three of them were overjoyed when they saw Li Mengnan come back, and they were busy making arrangements to welcome him.
While the three girls were cooking in the kitchen, Li Mengnan called Wu Ansu and Qingche respectively to report that they were safe.
Qingche, a little loli, was crying on the phone, which made Li Mengnan feel as if he was not being released, but was about to be shot.
Wu Ansu's reaction was not very big, perhaps because she already knew that he had been released from prison by the HX Research Institute.
However, Wu Ansu mentioned a very surprising news. It is said that the criminal police crime team discovered the first scene of Mitong's death and found a little blood on a nearby iron frame that did not belong to Mitong.
Maybe it was accidentally left behind by the real murderer during his fight with Mitong.
The DNA of the blood stain is still being identified. If the suspect can be identified through the comparison results, the grievances against him should be cleared.
Now that he has been released from prison and his entire criminal record has been wiped out, Li Mengnan no longer cares much about whether his grievances can be cleared. However, finding the real murderer may also be a psychological comfort for the mother and daughter in the family.
After ending the call with Wu Ansu, Li Mengnan thought about it and dialed Le Youyou's number again.
"Eh? Why did you remember to call me again?" Le Youyou pretended to be surprised, but it was obvious that he was very happy.
"I miss you, do you miss me?"
Li Mengnan feels very relaxed every time he hears Le Youyou's voice. In addition, he is already familiar with Le Youyou's cheerful and generous personality, so he can joke without restraint.
"Huh, I guess you thought of me by chance?"
Le Youyou hummed softly, and the sweet and waxy voice was just like a light-bodied little loli acting like a baby on the other side of the phone.
It's a pity that this beautiful fantasy picture was instantly shattered by a fat girl sitting on her butt.
"But it seems that I haven't seen you for a while. I really miss you." Le Youyou sighed softly, not knowing what he was sighing about.
Li Mengnan leaned on the back of the sofa, placed his feet on the coffee table in an inconspicuous manner, and said with a smile: "I am really flattered to be favored by Miss Le."
"By the way, have you added my sister's QQ friend?" Le Youyou suddenly changed the topic in a strange direction.
"Let me go, eldest sister, it was your sister who added me, okay? Don't beat me up!"
Li Mengnan couldn't guess why Le Youyou suddenly asked this, so in order to prevent the other party from launching an attack to accuse him, he quickly cleared the blame first.
"Look, why are you nervous? I'm just asking." Le Youyou chuckled, probably finding Li Mengnan's reaction very interesting, "My sister said you are a pretty good person, but I rarely hear her say anything to a person.
Boys rate it so highly..."
"I think her evaluation may be a bit low..."
"Tch! You said you were fat and you were out of breath!" Le Youyou was used to Li Mengnan's shamelessness and said unconcernedly: "I think my sister seems to like you a little bit. Do you want me to sign a red line for you?"
"Although I admit that I quite like chatting with her, let's forget about dating..." Li Mengnan said, picking his ears.
"Why?" Le Youyou seemed a little surprised.
"I'm a poor girl. A goddess-like white and rich girl like your sister would have no problem having sex in my head. But in reality, dating would definitely be despised... Well, if it's you, maybe you can still consider it."
"Talking about my sister, you...why are you pulling on me?"
Le Youyou didn't expect that Li Mengnan would suddenly turn the topic to her, and his tone was awkward and a bit shy.
Li Mengnan was a little surprised. Le Youyou usually didn't shy away from any jokes, so why did he suddenly turn into an innocent girl today?
But for girls, there are always a few sensitive periods in a month, where the mood fluctuates greatly and there is no reason. Therefore, Li Mengnan didn’t pay too much attention and said with a smile: "I just feel that I am more relaxed when I am with you, and there is no need to worry.
pressure."
"Huh, if you think I'm fat, just say so... I'm not as beautiful as my sister. Of course no one will kill you if you walk with me." Le Youyou snorted angrily.
"Miss Ale Le, you never cared about your weight before. Why do you suddenly start worrying about it now?"
"I..." Le Youyou was speechless for a moment, and paused for a few seconds before saying, "I'm in a bad mood today, are you going to bite me?"
Li Mengnan finally figured it out. This eldest lady is probably a relative from her mother's family. She speaks with a gun and a stick. If we can't offend her, why can't we hide from her?
"By the way, Youyou, give me your bank account number." Li Mengnan quickly changed the subject and stopped arguing about his weight.
"Why do you want my bank account number? Don't have enough money? ... No, if you don't have enough money, you should send me your account number."
Le Youyou's soliloquy was really cute and natural. Li Mengnan couldn't help being moved but also a little funny, saying: "It's nothing, I made a small fortune recently, I just want to give the money back to you..."
"Oh? Congratulations then. Remember to treat me to dinner another day."
Le Youyou was as cheerful as ever. He did not ask Li Mengnan about the source of his income, nor did he politely refuse. He directly reported his bank account number to him.
Not long after hanging up the phone, Li Mengnan suddenly received a WeChat message on his phone.
The message only had three words: "I'm sick" and the contact person was "Le Taotao".
The eldest Miss Le has just come to visit her aunt. What is the trouble with the second Miss Le...
When I clicked on WeChat, I saw Le Taotao's signature changed to "Burn with full power and watch carefully. Who dares to be my enemy when the temperature reaches 39 degrees? It will burn to the point of burning." (Note: Jay Chou)
Adapted from "Initial D" theme song "Drift")
Li Mengnan was speechless. The two eldest ladies of the Le family were really born optimists. They could be so happy even if they had a cold or a fever.
However, Lotte is just an attitude towards life. It is impossible not to feel uncomfortable when you are sick. The fact that Le Taotao sent him a message already illustrates the problem.
Girls are reserved creatures. The surface meaning of what they say is not important. Pay attention to their subtext.
Generally speaking, if a girl says "I'm sick", the subtext is "I feel so bad, come and comfort me quickly".
Although Li Mengnan couldn't understand why Miss Le Er came to him for comfort, during the time he was at the HX Research Institute, the other party often chatted with him to relieve his boredom, and he couldn't sit idly by due to emotion and reason.
"Sick? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't stop taking the medicine..."
"Do you think I didn't die quickly enough..." Le Taotao sent back an expression like a hammer hitting his head.
"No, there aren't many goddesses in this world. If you die, the vast number of people who admire you won't even have a partner to fuck with."
"You boys all have the same virtues. Apart from our face and figure, don't we girls have nothing else in your eyes?"
"This shows that we boys have few requirements for girls... We don't ask you to be able to wash and cook, we don't ask you to be virtuous and gentle, and we don't ask you to be diligent and thrifty. We just ask you to have a face and a figure. Isn't that too much?
"
"You... forget it, I can't help you, but if you can, tell my sister this too." Followed by a twisted expression of disdain.
"Ah... you've hit my weak point..." Li Mengnan responded with a burned expression.
"Humph, I knew you didn't dare to say this to my sister."
Le Taotao finally gained the upper hand this time and made a proud grin.
Li Mengnan suddenly noticed that the location displayed by Le Taotao at the moment was Donghai University in Sanshan City, and he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "You came to Sanshan City?"
Le Taotao didn't reply for a long time, and it took a long time before he said: "How dare you peek at my location... Well, I forgot to hide it. I came to see my sister, and I'm in her dormitory now."
The aroma of food came from the restaurant. Xiao Baoer greeted Li Mengnan to come over and start eating. Li Mengnan responded in the direction of the restaurant and casually replied: "It's time for me to eat. Let's talk another day."
Li Mengnan put down his phone and just stood up when the message alert sounded again.
"Eat? What to eat?"
Li Mengnan glanced at the restaurant and replied: "Some home-cooked dishes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried tofu, sweet and sour pork loin, chicken stewed with mushrooms, broccoli with garlic, oh, and preserved egg and lean meat porridge."
