There was a long ponytail for no reason, and there was a weighty feeling on the back of his head, which made Russell feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
Fortunately, this was the bathroom. When he raised his head, he could see himself in the mirror.
It was the man who appeared in Russell's "picture frame" before.
He looks about 27 or 28 years old. His smile gives people a warm and friendly feeling, and when he deliberately keeps a straight face, he is not particularly intimidating. In terms of temperament, he does not look like a singer... but more like
He is a pastry chef. He is the one who lowers his head to decorate cakes without giving anyone any sense of disobedience.
"Is this... what Bluebird once looked like?"
Russell murmured.
When Russell spoke, he noticed that his voice had become deep and magnetic - and he had a strong desire and confidence to "sing" at this moment.
Russell was very sure that he was tone deaf and had no interest in singing at all.
When Russell was in school, she was dragged out by her tutor to sing. But as soon as Russell sang the first line, she immediately made her laugh.
Although the instructor kept apologizing to Russell, Russell was so depressed that he didn't want to sing anymore.
...In other words, after transforming into the form of Blue Songbird, not only can he use his psychic "caged bird", but he can even master the singing ability without Russell having learned any singing skills at all?
And from another perspective.
Russell also felt the slowness and difficulty of this body very clearly.
Not to mention jumping into the ventilation duct easily.
He even felt that he couldn't even jump onto the sink at this moment... As for dodging bullets, it was even more impossible.
When he became Alice, Russell didn't feel much different. Now that he has become a bluebird and lost his cat's tail, Russell even feels a little unbalanced when he walks.
You have to take some time to go shopping and get used to it, he thought.
"There is one more vacancy for the mask."
Russell sighed.
He noticed that his spiritual power should have been improved.
This means that his red shift has increased by another level... As for the specific time, it was probably when he encountered danger on the first floor.
The "impossible weapon" that could only turn into a scalpel or a blade was suddenly strengthened to the point where it could become an "arm" and extend out. And after Russell got a new mask, the previously added spiritual power
The energy intensity finally stabilized.
This should be the so-called [mission].
From this point of view, his "mission" is to obtain more masks?
But what are the rules for obtaining this mask?
Bluebird and Russell have no kinship, not even spiritual kinship. They didn't know each other before. But now, they can be regarded as enemies, not friends.
But speaking of enemies, Russell had killed many before. But none of them could trigger Russell's spiritual power.
If we have something in common...
Even their deaths touched Russell's heartstrings.
Or rather...
Is it because Russell "doesn't want them to die" in his heart? Or does he "want them to continue to live", so he got the spiritual power to continue his life?
...it doesn't seem right either.
If that's the case, why does it have to be shown as a "mask"?
What's more, this is the spiritual energy awakened from Russell's past life memory - how could he have such "original desire"?
"It seems that only after the migration is completed, can the truth about my spiritual power be known..."
Russell murmured.
But there was one thing he remembered very clearly.
Whether he was absorbing Alice's chip or the "Little Liuli" chip, he had a thirst for it.
Thirst, hunger, joy, greed - wanting.
But it's not about "possessing", but more about "reaching".
...To use a strange metaphor, it is a bit similar to the feeling when "the promotion game has reached a life and death situation".
"...Let's try out our newly acquired psychic powers first."
Russell's heart moved, and ultramarine blue flames suddenly ignited under his pupils.
A feeling of indifference, despair, and isolation that he had never experienced before surged into his heart, causing Russell's eyes to become cold subconsciously.
The next moment, Russell's body turned into an ordinary blue songbird in the ultramarine flames, soaring into the air——
——Under what circumstances can I fly?
Russell's heart was filled with uncontrollable surprise and excitement.
The first time he used his wings to fly, he felt an unprecedented strangeness. He even drew an elegant arc... and almost crashed.
But fortunately, Russell's learning ability is still quite outstanding.
He managed to pull up before crashing and flew in the air with his wings somewhat awkwardly.
However, it seems that Bluebird's flying ability cannot support him staying in the air for a long time...
The little bird fluttered onto the sink, landed for a moment, and then flew up again.
When Russell triggered psychic energy again, a metal cage emerged from the void around him, sealing Russell inside.
He instantly lost the ability to fly.
The iron cage containing the bird fell down with a clang, shook for a moment and then settled down.
Russell looked outside through the iron cage.
The strange vision gave him the feeling of seeing someone behind bars.
He also quickly understood the nature of this birdcage.
The psychic energy of "Caged Bird" is actually triggered in the form of a passive trap. Transforming into a bird is just a preparatory stage ability... It's like Russell peeked into "Xiao Liuli's" past memory, which seems to be his incarnation.
Another form of psionic energy.
If someone is in the same room with this birdcage and all the doors and windows in the room are closed, the person who closed the doors and windows last will be pulled into this one-to-one space.
Another way to trigger is that the other party opens the birdcage out of curiosity or out of sheer stupidity... Then Russell can pull the other party into that space. If triggered in this way, Russell himself will
Can jump out of the cage.
In that space, Russell can actively choose whether to eliminate both prosthetics.
"Is it to imprison or create psychic energy that is beneficial to the home field..."
Russell thought.
Although the conditions of use are quite harsh, once it takes effect it can produce quite good results.
If Russell had to fight a steel monster whose prosthetic body had been transformed to more than 80%, he could use this to peel off the opponent's prosthetic body and gain an advantage.
The prosthetic body that has been stripped away will return to its "flesh" form... If you have already adapted to the prosthetic body, you will definitely feel a lot of discomfort when you suddenly change back to your physical body.
"... Or when being chased by a group of people? Create a duel space to reduce the opponent's number or buy time?"
But one thing is unclear - whether the bird and the birdcage will remain where they are when entering that virtual space.
You can then set up a camera and record a video of the outside to confirm.
"Moreover, this psychic power also has wonderful by-products..."
Russell's expression was a little subtle.
At least, it could turn Russell into a bird.
In this way, no matter whether Russell is being handcuffed or imprisoned, as long as there is a gap, he can turn into a bird and fly away.
——No one would have thought that Russell, who has a cat as his spiritual relative, could turn into a bird.
Unlike Alice's universal psionic power, Bluebird's psionic power is quite extreme - the kind that once someone learns the secret of the psionic power, its effect will be greatly reduced.
With Russell's current psychic level, he can probably maintain that space for twenty minutes.
If the body of "Blue Songbird" is not used but Russell's body is used, it will only last half the time... and this birdcage as a trap can be maintained forever.
The disadvantage is that Russell will be very fragile in his bird form. If he dies in this form, he will really die.
...But as long as you don't use body changes, it shouldn't be a big problem.
When he was on the airship before, Russell had used the ability of the First Mask to transform into Alice, and almost immediately suffered a fatal attack.
That fierce punch directly broke Russell's spine.
But when resisting the attack that could break the spine, Russell was not injured... but was knocked back to his original form. The mask used for the transformation was shattered, and the incarnation also entered cooling down.
It will take about a month to recover.
From this point of view...
"Perhaps we can also use the incarnation ability as a substitute technique with a one-month cooldown?"
It can also be used as a vest.
I hope that the number of people who know the original appearance of "Blue Songbird" should be as small as possible...
Russell thought about what else his psychic powers could be used for.
He tentatively stretched out his right hand.
But the spiritual energy of the "non-existent weapon" had no response at all.
...I see, can’t I use the abilities of other incarnations during transformation?
Before leaving the bathroom, Russell stretched his hands to his face.
As the ultramarine flames ignited again, Russell's size shrank instantly.
Russell, who had returned to his original state, was taking off a white mask with no facial features from his face.
Not long after the mask left Russell's face, it turned into ultramarine sparks and dissipated in the air.
That cheerful smile, the desire to sing, and the negative emotions deep in his heart quickly moved away from him.
Just like an actor performing a play.
"Mask...?"
Russell was thoughtful and turned to leave.
He just tried out his psychic powers a little bit, but he didn't dare to waste too much time.
After all, the body of Xiao Liuli that he had just decapitated was still here.
Before being discovered by the guests, Russell needs to make an emergency report to Minister Delphinium.
Just like what he promised to Xiao Liuli before - he wanted "Xiao Liuli" to die cleanly as a human being.
Russell believes that his moral level may not be as good as his two colleagues who are obviously not normal people...but he also has an advantage.
That is...as long as he makes a serious promise, he will never break his promise.
