Chapter 717 The Essence of Light Manipulation

Just from the urban areas that have been observed so far, there are already several places that have become areas that ordinary finishers cannot set foot in.

The eastern part of the city, where the municipal building was originally located, has now become a forbidden area. The deaths of too many extraordinary people have led to abnormal concentrations of cursed energy. In addition, the abnormal bodies similar to earthbound spirits formed after the extraordinary people were alienated have caused this area to have rules that have not yet been discovered.

If it is a normal situation, the Control Bureau can use professional means to find out the abnormal rules in a short time, and then send a professional team to solve it.

But now, the manpower of the Control Bureau has been pushed to the limit, and most of the employees have entered the cracks of the reflected world. It is impossible to solve the problem in an organized and high-tech way as usual, and it can only be solved by human lives.

Of course, even such a dangerous situation is nothing. The golf course in the north of the city is already full of corpses, and drones can capture open-air conditions. Although the lighting conditions are poor, the owners of this area do not care about the lighting of the control bureau.

When several drones shone their spotlights down, they saw broken limbs all over the ground, and a dirty man sitting in the middle of the pile of corpses.

He stacked the corpses into a chair, used their skulls as cups, drank their blood, and apparently ate their flesh.

Faced with the drone's observation, he remained calm and ignored it, and had no intention of destroying the drone.

Many people in the Control Bureau are familiar with this person because they have dealt with him many times.

He is the artist of life, Yi Lei.

But now no one is sure whether this "person" is Yi Lei.

This area full of corpses is his territory. An hour ago, the Finisher "Flipper", whose level was promoted from LV4 to LV5 due to the erosion of cursed power, entered this area and had a battle with Yi Lei.

The Control Bureau observed the entire battle via drones.

Within the first thirty seconds of the fight, the Tumbler reversed Ilay's knees and elbows, leaving him without most of his mobility.

In the thirty-fifth second of the fight, the flipper punched Yi Lei three times and kicked him once. Any of these four attacks could have flipped Yi Lei's internal organs directly out of his body, but Yi Lei did not change at all.

In forty seconds, Yi Lei's reversed joints returned to their original state. In the first counterattack, he used a phantom resembling a beast to tear off the arm of the tumbler, and with the second punch, he knocked off the tumbler's head.

When the Flipper was attacked, the powerful defensive method he was proud of, the "kinetic flip", did not appear. No one knew whether it was simply impossible to use it or he did not want to use it.

Although the abnormal fluctuations at the scene were chaotic enough, the Control Bureau still observed relatively accurate results.

When a flipper who has become LV5 activates his supernatural power, his cursed energy will dissipate. This is indeed the case. Regardless of whether it is the first attack or the three punches and one kick that follow, the concentration of abnormalities in the space has fluctuated, and the abnormal components are similar to the type of cursed energy of the flipper.

Except for the first attack, which caused visible damage to Yi Lei, Yi Lei was almost immune to the subsequent supernatural attacks. During the entire battle, Yi Lei's attacks did not cause any changes in the abnormality.

The analysis team that remained in the world unanimously agreed that Yi Lei is now completely an abnormal body, and his abnormal level is likely higher than LV5, but because he is an abnormal body, his use of power will not cause the escape of cursed energy.

However, the analysis department has not yet reached a universally accepted conclusion as to why his joints were twisted when he was attacked by the tumbler for the first time.

In order to deal with this target that was clearly at an extremely dangerous level, Acting Director Lindy chose to drop a basic bomb.

They were certainly not naive enough to think that thermal weapons could kill this monster, but secular firepower has always been the lowest-cost means of probing.

But when the bomb fell and exploded, a huge shadow like a city wall appeared near the site full of corpses, isolating the shock wave of the explosion like a barrier.

When the Control Bureau was helpless against Yi Lei, Shangguan Yan, who was not in the Control Bureau, contacted the headquarters and said that they did not need to intervene in Yi Lei's case and should focus on other things. Yi Lei would be solved by others. And now, they did so.

Since they have no low-risk way to get rid of Yi Lei, and Yi Lei has been staying on the golf course without causing more large-scale damage, leaving him there temporarily is also a strategy.

“Maybe we shouldn’t be looking at it that way with drones,” Modise said.

"Because of the extraordinary person who manipulates light?" Lindy asked back.

They knew very early that there was a superhuman who could manipulate light in the writer's camp. When the family bus was hijacked, Xia Shou and others tracked it all the way. The reason they finally prevented Ke Hen from continuing the tracking was because Lin Tiandong disappeared directly in the playback of "The Bystander".

During this mopping-up mission, the battle report from the front line of Mo Ying's team also recorded this extraordinary person. In the first ambush that Mo Ying's team encountered, all the enemy members appeared out of thin air at a very close distance.

What happened to Ke Hen proved that the extraordinary ability of that extraordinary person was not just to affect other people's cognition. If it was just to affect cognition, then it could still be tracked in Ke Hen's live playback.

So the extraordinary person affects physical reality, manipulating light to affect what others see.

This is not some advanced superpower. There are many people who can manipulate light on the control bureau's list. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of them, but most of them do not perform well.

Because even if humans can manipulate light, it is extremely difficult to simulate the various reflections of natural light, just like the ray tracing in the game. Even if it relies on the super computing power of the computer, it is full of unnaturalness, and the influence of reality is greater.

Therefore, those who have extraordinary powers in manipulating light generally do not use it for camouflage, because it is too difficult. Compared to a hypnotist who directly lets the target deceive his own brain, manipulating light to achieve a realistic level is extremely difficult.

The tactics of light manipulators are generally to prevent the light from being reflected to the enemy, or to reflect it randomly, making the opponent's visual screen "black" or "flowered".

But as the saying goes, if you lose something, you have to gain something. If the light manipulator can really accurately create a realistic illusion, then the upper limit will be much higher than the hypnosis system.

Because light manipulation affects reality, there is little reliance on anomaly levels, and any indirect shots will be flawless.

However, hypnosis will become full of loopholes under surveillance.

After these two contacts, they have determined that the light manipulator in the writer's camp has incredibly high skills.

“Shouldn’t it? Drones have ultra-long-distance and multi-perspective capabilities, and no one can manipulate light over such a large range.” Lindy said in an affirmative tone.

He said it with such certainty, but if you think about it carefully, there is still a hint of hesitation.

"Director Lin, maybe you don't know this, because this happened a long time ago and it is highly confidential, but I have investigated that person for scientific research." Modise said.

Modise didn't finish his words, because if Lindy didn't know that person, there was no need to continue communicating. Personal information about that person was secret, and communication would lead to one's own forgetfulness.

Lindy frowned and his face darkened.

"Wow, it seems you know it too." Modis smiled and waved his hands.

"You mean Xianna's..."

"Not necessarily. I just want to say that it's not like no one can do this." Modis interrupted.
