"Cunning Forest" is the default nickname within the Special Operations Team. For ordinary people, this is a forest park in the city located at the junction of District 11 and District 10. It is very suitable for camping, barbecues, and team building.
They may never know that in the deepest part of this natural oxygen bar, there lives a group of aliens who look like humans but are not human.
Under Li Qin's operation, the Forest Park in the city issued an announcement to close the park for rest. The once bustling park was now silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects and birds coming.
Li Qing drove the only car in Team 11, carrying the girl and speeding towards Nightmare's hometown.
He really didn't expect that the "clue" mentioned by the two riddles was——
When the police handle a case, they come to the door to ask questions. The main thing is to get straight to the point and communicate with each other sincerely.
Outside the car, green and yellow trees passed by quickly, and the unchanged scenery became quite boring after looking at it for a long time.
In the car, the girl didn't say a word, her eyes fell on the long silver knife across her legs. The atmosphere was as dull as the heavy rain was coming.
"I'm sorry." Li Qing hesitated for a long time and finally choked out a sentence. He didn't dare to look at the girl and could only stare nervously at the road in front of him.
"Huh? Because during the sparring session yesterday, did you chop me twice again, senior?" Of course Lin Zuzu knew what the young man meant, but she had to consider him.
"Hey, don't blame the captain, ah, it's not...hey...the duty of the special operations team is to find out the causes of these unusual events."
"Yes, I understand that we need to protect ordinary humans." The girl said her high-sounding words without changing her face.
So, in their eyes - at that time, had I become a threat to humanity?
Even if I turn into a monster, I just...want to live.
He clearly said that the idea of "wanting to live" is not wrong, right?
Or maybe, he is not that noble at all and just wants to get information from me.
"That's not what I meant...Hey..." The heroic young man was a little discouraged.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, ex...Brother Qing." The girl showed a standard but false smile and officially changed her name to Li Qing.
Sure enough, as she expected, the young man became even more depressed after hearing this title.
Now, it's not your turn yet. The girl looked back with satisfaction.
The two of them were already approaching their destination—the deepest part of the treacherous forest.
Ordinary humans generally will not break through the "no-passage" fence and go deep into this territory.
Of course, there will indeed be a few curious little masters who insist on writing "Yes, I am just tired of living" on their faces. At this time, the basic illusions and knots arranged by the nightmare on the periphery
The world will also put them into a state of ghostly beating the wall, and eventually they will be frightened and choose to return the way they came.
When they arrived at the meeting point, there were already two figures waiting there. Li Qing parked the car and had to walk the last part of the way.
Before getting off the bus, Lin Zuzu took a look at the time. There were only two minutes left before the final gathering time.
As expected, Li Qing was not in his best condition today, and the crazy young man drove so slowly.
The two people who arrived earlier stopped talking when they heard the noise and turned around.
"Brother Qing, ah... hello." Ming Qiaoqiao greeted cheerfully, but the moment he saw the girl, his smile gradually faded.
Lin Zuzu knew why she was like this, and she also had complicated feelings about Ming Qiaoqiao.
It was this young "messenger" who used mental disruption techniques to influence his own mind, which indirectly led to the birth of the tragedy. But it was also she who... did not hesitate to overextend her mental power to teleport continuously, allowing her to see her mother's face.
The last side.
The mental power fluctuation test based on high pressure is the consensus of all departments of the government for aliens. Not to mention, Ming Qiaoqiao, who grew up on the back side of this world, has received such an education since she was a child——
Personal sacrifice is always insignificant in the face of collective interests.
Ming Qiaoqiao is a high-profile genius, but he is not a bad guy in the true sense.
She occasionally thought, if Ming Qiaoqiao had not taken action, could she really have resisted opening the door?
Of course, the past is a foregone conclusion, so——
Anyone who thinks too highly of himself will surely fall from his height if given the chance.
Lin Zuzu thought about it and said calmly: "Hello, you two, I am Lin Zuzu, the newly promoted junior member of Team 11."
Liu Ying naturally knew what happened to the girl, and she could not be said to have nothing to do with her. However, as the oldest and most senior member of the four-person team, she quickly entered the task state and said:
"Captain, please give the order." She reminded the commander-in-chief of this mission.
After being pointed out, Li Qing came to his senses and nodded: "Clearly clarify the goals of this operation, communicate with the nightmare, find the cause of death of the deceased, obtain more clues, and avoid unnecessary fights."
"No. 2, help us safely enter the barrier arranged by the nightmare."
"No. 3, be alert and protect against illusions. If possible, communicate with the nightmare in advance."
"No. 4, cover my operations. Once an emergency occurs, protect No. 2 and No. 3 evacuate immediately. Don't be reluctant to fight."
Once they have no mental power and get caught, they will most likely have to rely on the abilities of Ming Qiaoqiao and Liu Ying to escape.
"Now, check the intercom for the last time." Li Qing seemed to finally cheer up and behave reliably.
"I will first give you a blessing spell to increase resistance to low-level ghosts and illusions. It will take about two hours."
Ming Qiaoqiao formed the magic formula with both hands and muttered silently: "Calm your mind, repel evil spirits, protect your innocence, and ward off evil spirits." She took the lead in superimposing a layer of buff on Li Qing.
When Lin Zuzu saw this, she couldn't help but think, the "Demon Spirit"'s spiritual explosion technique couldn't withstand her, so could Nightmare's mental attack really have an impact on her? It shouldn't be of the same magnitude, right?
There is also the so-called hallucination of seeing dead relatives. This does not require Nightmare to cast illusions. She is reviewing it every day.
But she was not a proud person to begin with, so she didn't say anything.
The pretty girl walked up to Lin Zuzu and started to do the same thing. Suddenly her face changed and she whispered: "Why did you fail?"
It's not a difficult spell...it shouldn't be.
She smiled awkwardly and said, "I'll do it again..."
She worked hard, but nothing changed.
"No. 4 is highly resistant to mental spells." Liu Ying explained the secret.
Lin Zuzu nodded in agreement. Master "Tianyan"'s examination results also proved this. Among the 10 people attacked by the "demon spirit", only she and Master Liang Wen were unscathed.
"Well, that low-level intrusion shouldn't have any impact on you." Ming Qiaoqiao concluded.
Hearing this, Lin Zuzu's expression changed.
Speaking of which... when did my patience with mental spells begin?
She clearly remembers that on the day her mother arrived, the 500 degrees of myopia that she had suffered for many years miraculously disappeared.
After recovering her memory, she knew that from that time on, she, who was carrying the blood of demons, had... begun to evolve.
Although the performance of the gain is not significant in terms of Qi, blood, muscles and bones, it improves very quickly in auxiliary abilities such as vision, hearing, and perception.
A trace of uneasiness seized her heart.
"Then..." The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat, and she didn't dare to ask.
If the blessing technique Ming Qiaoqiao used today was more advanced than the disruption technique that day...
So, was that initial low-level spell... really successful?
