Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 73 Lost Soul
"It's done."

Qin Xia opened his eyes and was about to talk to the gladiators about the subspace teleportation, but found that all the gladiators gathered around him.

"What's wrong?" Qin Xia asked.

The gladiators' reactions reminded Qin Xia of the last time he dived deep into the subspace, when these people looked at him with the same eyes.

There was confusion and concern in his eyes.

"You just suddenly scolded whoever you caught." Ono had a complicated expression, "You scolded every one of us."

Hearing this, Qin Xia looked at Angron.

“I know you don’t mean to scold us.” Angron’s face was filled with concern. “But…what’s wrong with you?”

Qin Xia looked at Brown again.

The stone man frowned helplessly and said hesitantly: "You said my flying skills are not good, man, that really hurts me. I am most proud of my flying skills."

Others had similar reactions.

Qin Xia was confused: "I was sitting cross-legged with my eyes closed just now, traveling in a spiritual space. How could I possibly scold you?"

"When you first came to the arena, you sat cross-legged on the ground for a while and then suddenly started laughing." Ono said, "I thought you knew what would happen to you last time. If you didn't take the initiative to confess to us, you must have something to hide, so I didn't mention it..."

Qin Xia recalled Ono's reaction after his first deep dive into the subspace, and what Ono had concealed at that time.

"You just said that you traveled to a spiritual dimension?" Brown suddenly realized something and suddenly became very serious. "I have read some research materials on mental illness. If a person's soul and body are cut off from each other for a long time, your situation will occur."

"For example, a good person suddenly becomes evil for no reason, or a bad person suddenly becomes unconditionally nice to others."

"In short, a certain aspect of the mind becomes extreme and out of control."

"Doctors have a jargon for this disease of the soul: lost soul."

During the most prosperous era of the human race that Brown experienced, many terminal diseases that were absolutely untreatable in ancient times were treated or had a deeper understanding of them.

For example, in ancient times, there were terminal mental illnesses such as hysteria or insanity.

Through human exploration of things related to the subspace, the cause of these mental illnesses has also been discovered, which is what Brown said, the so-called "lost soul".

"First of all, I can be sure that I will not lose my soul."

Qin Xia said, thinking.

He was certain that what he had felt while deep in the warp was real, and not some dream that concretized irrational abstractions into understandable sensations.

When diving deep into the subspace, Qin Xia will have a feeling of being separated from his body.

It can be concluded that after the soul enters the subspace, a certain aspect of one's psychology will become extreme and out of control, but fortunately this only makes people feel confused. After the soul enters the subspace, it also takes away the psychic power, so it will not be out of control to the point of releasing psychic energy indiscriminately.

When the soul returns, everything returns to normal.

As to whether this problem can be anticipated and prevented...

Qin Xia knew clearly that he was walking on a spiritual power path that had never been taken before and would never be taken again.

For a normal psychic, no matter if he has the courage or not, it is extremely difficult to penetrate the veil of the real universe, so there is no precedent for Qin Xia to refer to.

Regarding this kind of situation similar to losing the soul, the only solution Qin Xia could think of was to find a closed place in the future to conduct a deep dive into the subspace.

"You all heard what Brown said." Qin Xia glanced at everyone helplessly, "Lost soul. How can you take what he said in this situation seriously?"

The gladiators were not hurt by the extreme emotions Qin Xia displayed when he dived deep into the subspace.

They saw what Qin Xia did. For these people who had known each other for a short time but had been through life and death together many times, no words or actions could alienate each other.

They were just concerned about Qin Xia's condition. Now seeing that Qin Xia was not in a hurry, they were all relieved.

"Let's go scout the territory of the Murray family tonight."

"We'll take that tonight if we can."

Qin Xia stood up and announced to everyone. Oenomamos raised his hand.

Qin Xia nodded and signaled Aonuo to speak.

"I know some more detailed things about the Murray family..." Ono said, "because I was a slave of their family when I was a child."

……

late at night.

The temperature in the Red Sand Desert is extremely low.

One thousand meters away from the Murray family fortress territory, gladiators wearing armor and holding weapons were lying on the desert.

The omni-tool called Silver Vine is wrapped around their arms.

These armors and weapons were brought by Brown and were originally placed in the cargo hold of a large anti-gravity aircraft.

It can be seen that these things were made in a hurry and have no advanced functions, but the materials used are very powerful.

The material used to make the armor is a material called "bronze". It is not real bronze, but a material that is extremely tough yet surprisingly light.

The material used to make the sword is called "brass", which is a slightly heavy but extremely sharp material.

Tark created these weapons based on the information he collected about each gladiator, ensuring that each gladiator had the weapons they liked and were good at using.

"My anti-gravity spear is ineffective." Kleist crawled on the red sand to Qin Xia's side and whispered.

Qin Xia looked back and found that the anti-gravity spear on Crest's leg was no longer releasing energy.

"There is a control core of the close defense fire array of an orbital defense platform in this damn place." Qin Xia recalled what the stone man said, "So your anti-gravity spear should be locked by it."

"And the locking range is only one thousand meters." Kleist said, "An ancient creation. I heard that chatterbox praise this thing to the sky, but it turns out that the effective range is only one thousand meters. I thought the control core was so powerful."

The nearby gladiators also agreed with Kleist.

They kept approaching the fortress territory in order to test the range of the control core that Brown mentioned. It was not until they were within a thousand meters that Crest's anti-gravity spear became ineffective. This situation was better than anyone expected.

"How could these barbarians know how to adjust the performance parameters of the control core? When they got it, it was in the extremely close-range emergency mode, and these people don't know how to adjust it, so they can only use the mode they got when they got it, so the range is only one thousand meters."

The chatterbox in Crest's mouth walked towards the gladiators and responded to Crest's words.

Qin Xia turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see Brown walking towards the crowd in stealth mode.

"Didn't I ask you to watch over the cave and protect those who can't fight?" Qin Xia quickly stretched out his hand to signal Brown not to move forward. "You are also a technological creation. What if the core of the defense platform invades you and locks you up?"

"You're right, but I'm a stone man."

"The computing power in my brain plus the additional computing capacity provided by the Butcher's Nail is greater than the computing power of all the functional cores of its entire orbital defense platform."

Brown continued to move forward, approaching the edge of the control core's range.

"Don't forget that I am a stone man. Even if I am a low-functioning stone man, I am still a stone man. I will protect the glory of the entire stone man race, and by the way, let you see what ancient times are..."

Halfway through his words, Brown fell down in the red sand.

[Under...under attack...]

[All computing power has been transferred to the firewall center... Resisting the invasion... Restarting...]

Brown's body was convulsing violently, and a cold warning sound came out of his mouth.

When the control core was invaded, Brown didn't even have a bit of extra computing power to maintain the operation of the emotion simulation function.

"I have seen the power of the ancient relics." Qin Xia looked at Crest helplessly, "Take him back."

"Yeah." With the anti-gravity spear locked and even his movements affected, Crest had no choice but to take on this task and drag Brown back to the cave shelter.
