Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 104 37. The action is postponed, the damn psychic storm is coming again!
When the belated mechanical police officers began to "clean the floor", Zhou Ke and Mulan, who had a slap mark on his face, had already arrived safely at the Slag Bar.

Amanda did not come back with them but went to Weng Mingyue's clinic to complete her interrupted physical examination. D-4 went to Bert's private factory to use the equipment there to complete the "combat backpack" designed for Wuneng in Professor Qiao Sina's laboratory, and to help Bert discipline his troublesome harem.

What happened tonight was just a daily occurrence for Zhou Ke, but Director Mulan hadn't experienced such a scene in many years.

In addition, the stimulant he had just injected still had some aftereffects, and Amanda's slap in the face made him even more anxious. He needed to drink a lot of wine to numb his nerves.

Tsk, you crazy woman, I just commented on her figure as a veteran in the world of women, why are you so angry?
The most important thing is that I am not talking nonsense!

She trained for years to fight, which resulted in her muscles replacing some of her fat, which seriously affected her temperament, which could have been more coquettish, wild and aggressive.
"Yo, this is a pretty good stupid place."

He looked around in Old Taf's pub and said to Zhou Ke who was sitting at the bar:

"It's decorated in the style of the Badlands. There are few good places like this in the city. Other places with this gimmick are just selling dog meat under false pretenses, but I know this place is for real! That kind of smell can't be imitated. Only people who have been in the Badlands can create this kind of atmosphere."

"Where is this idiot from?"

The busy old Taf said to Zhou Ke with an unhappy look on his face:

"Why are you talking nonsense about my pub right away? What I'm like has nothing to do with him. Drink if you want, or get out of here!"

"Great, it's the Pharaoh of the Bad Land. We are saved."

Zhou Ke said something in a sarcastic tone, then knocked on the table and said to Old Taf:

"Let's have something good and pure to welcome our new friends. If he hadn't shown his might just now, I would have lost some arms and legs."

"Hey, it's really worth a good drink to be able to rescue your idiot."

Old Taff grinned, reached out and took two glasses from the bar, took out the goodies he was enjoying, poured two glasses and added ice cubes and pushed them over.

Mulan was an old drunkard. He lowered his head and smelled it, then gave Old Taff a thumbs up, grabbed the cup and drank it all, groaning with pleasure.

"Cool!"

He smashed the cup on the table and said loudly:

"Have another drink. Tonight has been exciting enough. I'll pay for everything!"

"Ow Oo"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire bar was visibly filled with happy smiles. Even the tired-looking office workers cheered at this moment. Someone recognized Mulan and ran over to ask for his autograph, but was almost smashed by the casual director with a bottle of wine.

He hates this kind of fanatical movie fans who have no sense of boundaries the most. You are not a sexy little girl, so don't come near me!
"This old guy is quite capable of dealing with things. He doesn't look like a fool who pretends to be rich."

Old Taf whispered to Zhou Ke:
"What's the story?"

"A truly wealthy person doesn't care about such a small thing, as long as he is happy."

Zhou Ke waved his hands and said:
"Is anyone using the second floor? I need a place to chat."

"Let's go to the third floor."

Old Taff threw out the key and said:
"The second floor is reserved by Ahong and Qiao Shan. They just acquired a new piece of land, and the brothers and sisters are celebrating inside."

"Okay, I won't disturb you from doing business."

Zhou Ke drank some wine, got up with the key, and went upstairs, grabbing Mulan who was signing autographs for a female fan and touching her butt to tease her.

The third floor of the pub is where Lao Tafu and A Miao live. It is very clean and there is a vase of flowers on the table, which looks very lively. Zhou Ke poured himself a cup of hot water, and Mulan sat on the sofa very familiarly, turning on the TV hanging on the wall to search for news channels.

As expected, the fighting that just took place in the urban area did not make the news at all.

"Dog fucking thing!"

He cursed like an old angry young man:
"They don't report what they should report, and they are just playing tricks to fool people! This city-state is going to be ruined, so they are just treating people like pigs. Look at this bitch who seems to be quite serious, you probably don't know how much fun this guy has in private."

Zhou Ke glanced at the female anchor who was reporting the midnight news on TV and said with a curled lip:

"Your fuck buddy?"

"Humph, I don't have such a good appetite. I've played with it a few times, just for fun. I'm not interested in bringing someone else's trained dog back to my home."

Mulan picked up the water cup and took a sip to sober up, then turned to Zhou Ke and said:

“There’s something wrong with this assassination tonight, they look like they’re going to kill you, but in fact, it’s more like a test.

The thing we killed is not the Panis Group's flagship product. That kind of biochemical beast is a high-level cannon fodder in the border war zone. If they really want to kill people, they will definitely use something more deterrent.

For example, their signature 'Eye Demon'.

That thing is awesome!
It is said that they are monsters taken from the legends of old civilizations. Their seven tentacles can break steel, and their special biochemical eyeballs can emit disintegration beams. The most amazing thing is that they have psychic adaptability and can fly at high speed and low altitude. Once released, they can kill the small leaders of the extraterritorial monsters alone.

Its movements are strange and more suitable for assassination. If that thing appeared tonight, it would never make such a big noise."

"I roughly guessed what the Panis Group was going to do tonight. It's just that the Flash Organization has been closely watched by Little Acholi recently and couldn't do it themselves, so they had to entrust them to act. This move is considered a 'pledge of allegiance' from the Panis Group."

Zhou Ke shook his head and said:
"Doing this openly in the City-State District means that they have completely torn their relationship with Little Acholi and are going to join the Shunguang side. Don't think too much, we are just a part of their play. I guess they themselves don't think they can kill me tonight."

"Oh, there is this inside story? You mentioned the surface archons and the Flash Organization right away. Your connections are really amazing. It seems that you have done things in the City-State District that are no less than those in the End Castle."

Mulan became interested and wanted to ask more questions, but Zhou Ke changed the subject and said:
"How do you think about it? Is my secret enough to exchange for yours?"

"Well, that's certainly enough."

Director Mulan curled his lips, took out his pipe and played with it in his hand. After a moment, he let out a long breath, patted his hips in a somewhat obscene manner, and said:

"You guessed it right. Mu Fang is not my biological daughter. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. When I went to rescue people, I accidentally entered the infected area and injured my body. Although I replaced most of my internal organs and survived, I can still use my body but I can't have children. My bad friends even gave me the nickname "Lone Testicle Warrior".
Anyway, remember that guy I told you about earlier?"

"Remember, as a senior researcher and time psychic of the Flash Organization, I was able to help you go back in time to make a movie. This kind of non-professionalism has already demonstrated the strong friendship between you two."

Zhou Ke leaned against the window and said:
"So, he is Xiaofang's"

"Yes, my biological father."

Mulan sighed and said:
"My friend had a miserable life. When he was receiving enhancement in the Flash Organization, he fell in love with a female doctor. They were both talking about marriage, but in an experimental accident a few years ago, his wife died inexplicably.

From then on, my friend was like a possessed person.

He has said more than once that he joined the Flash Organization to make the world a better place, which actually means he wants to create a world without pain and disaster for his daughter.

It's a good idea, but I think it's bullshit.

He was just escaping from reality, and was brainwashed by the Shunguang Organization. He knew that something was wrong with him, so he entrusted Xiaofang, who was only two years old at the time, to me.

That's my buddy's child, and of course my child too!
Although I am not Xiaofang's biological father, I do take care of her as my daughter. Unfortunately, I have been a playboy all my life and I really don't know how to teach a child. I can only give her whatever she wants. Fortunately, I am not short of money.

But money can't buy true love, and as a result, the relationship between father and daughter is now very bad.

I suspect Xiaofang may have known the truth a long time ago, and the reason why the child is so rebellious is that she doesn’t know how to deal with this fucked-up relationship between us.”

At this point, Mulan raised her head, looked at Zhou Ke, and said:

"I knew Xiaofang had made new friends at the Consortium Academy. When she asked me to delete that girl's scenes in the movie, I knew she simply wanted to protect the little girl named 'Qiao Ya'.

Is that your family?"

"Yes, I am her guardian."

Zhou Ke lit a cigarette, glanced at Mulan, and decided not to hide it, and told him Qiao Ya's true identity. When Mulan learned that Qiao Ya was Weng Yafen's daughter, he was stunned.

"There's something wrong with this!"

He rubbed his head and cursed:

"Why does it feel like it was planned?"

"Nonsense, if this relationship hadn't been confirmed, do you think I would just find a guy who claims to be a mystic and tell you the secret that could kill everyone?"

Zhou Ke blew out a smoke ring and said:
"Before you knew it, I knew we were bound together by our friendship as little girls, but it's just as well.

With this kind of relationship, everyone can trust each other.

I know from your stupid look that you will not give up the pursuit after knowing the 'truth', but I asked you to come here not only for this, but for everything related to myself. Do you know that psychics need to clarify their psychic attributes in the pursuit of sublimated power? "

"Nonsense, isn't this common sense?"

Mulan looked Zhou Ke up and down, and said suspiciously:

"You have shown the qualities of a psyker in combat before, but the problem is that you don't act like a psyker outside of combat. This is not normal. I guess that's why you are looking for a mystic?"

"Well, I need your help in the consultation."

Zhou Ke nodded and said:
"Originally, it would be better to ask a psychic for this matter, but the problem is that I don't have any connections with them. I don't trust the psychics within the Acholi Group, not to mention those illegal psychics who are hiding their heads and showing their tails. They are even more unscrupulous than me. I don't have any connections with the Eagle State, and I have offended them because of some previous things.

So..." "Then you are really good at causing trouble."

The great director curled his lips and said:

"It's the kind of 'troublemaker' quality that movie protagonists must have, the kind that gets into trouble wherever they go, the kind that is doomed to fail. I made the right choice in choosing you as the male lead.

Fine.

Sit down and talk.

Although I'm not a psychic, I have seen a lot over the years, and I have my own theories about these weird things. Maybe I can help.

Even if I can't help, I have a psychic brother who can help. As long as that guy doesn't involve his bottom line, he is willing to help in his spare time."

"Are the psionicists of the Flash Organization so idle?"

Zhou Ke pulled out a chair and sat down, and said curiously:
"Shouldn't a secret organization like them hide in the sewers every day to think about how to destroy the world?"

"Well, that's your stereotype of a secret organization."

Mulan shook his head and said:
"According to my buddy, the internal structure of the Flash Organization is actually no different from a regular research organization. They also have different research subjects, clock in on time every day, produce research reports every week, and do work ratings every month.

The KPI pressure is very heavy!
The consequence of trying to slack off in a place like that is that you will be kicked out in less than a month. Mr. Roger, who is currently working at the Surface Management Research Institute, is not a person who can tolerate any sand in his eyes. Working under him, the work pressure is absolutely extreme. Although I don’t know much about their specific research subjects, there is one thing I can be sure of.

Although you have opinions about the Flash Organization, it is undeniable that what they are currently researching is quite important to the surface world in the Badlands era.

For example, they reproduced the old civilization's technology of using carbon dioxide to convert matter in their early years, and made effective improvements several years ago. Otherwise, with the poor productivity of the Badlands and the soil that had been contaminated by psychic energy, it would be impossible to grow food or feed so many people.

Do you really think that the food you eat every day comes from the ground?

Do not be silly!
There is pure natural food, but only the truly powerful and wealthy can enjoy it.

The food source of the wastelanders in the Badlands is ultimately produced by the consortium system. From this point of view, although the Acholi Consortium is rotten, it does feed the people of the Badlands era.

As for why people can waste abundant resources in the city-state, but can do whatever they want for a bite to eat in the badlands, this is not a problem of productivity, but a problem in the distribution process.

In short, in my opinion, the existence of the Flash Organization has its own significance, and it cannot be evaluated simply by good or bad.

Perhaps 99% of their grand ideas of saving the world are lies to paralyze themselves and deceive others, but there is always that 1% that really wants to do something. "

"I thought you were just a simple old angry young man, but I didn't expect you to have something to say."

Zhou Ke smiled and said:
"Let's not talk about these grand topics. Let's talk about the troubles I'm in."

Since it was a request for help, he couldn't hide it. Zhou Ke told Mulan how he used his psychic powers. Mulan felt annoyed after hearing this. He asked back:

"Are you sure you have some masks that only you can see, and that give you different abilities when you put them on? Well, it's not that I don't believe it, it's mainly..."

"Okay, I know what you want to say. Weng Mingyue had the same reaction at that time, making me look like a delusional patient."

Zhou Ke sighed and said:
"But you saw it with your own eyes before. I can indeed walk in the spirit world after putting on the mask. Each mask has different effects. My shadow can also transform into a physical warrior. I have two different 'psychic talents'. This is exactly what bothers Weng Mingyue.

He must figure out where my true talent lies, otherwise the subsequent mental strengthening will be impossible."

"I have indeed never heard of anyone in the Badlands having two psionic talents. In fact, this does not conform to certain basic characteristics of psionicists at all."

Mulan smoked his pipe and said:

"Your situation is indeed a bit tricky, but I think these superficial techniques can actually be ignored. Let's get straight to the essence. The power shaping of the sublimator is nothing more than strengthening the container while purifying the 'energy' in the body. All self-strengthening is carried out around these two aspects.

You said that you can extract the energy of others to form masks with different functions. This can be regarded as a less standard "energy purification".

After all, you can only extract energy from those individuals who are not normal, and you cannot extract energy from ordinary people like me. Therefore, from this point of view, I think your psychic talent should be related to "extraction".

Um.
Now that we are here, I have to ask you something."

The great director took on the role of a mystic. He took out a piece of paper and wrote and drew something. Finally, he looked up at Zhou Ke and said:

"Can you draw on your own energy?"

Zhou Ke did not answer immediately, but looked at Mulan and asked:

“Is this question important?”

"Of course it's important!"

Mulan emphasized:
"You have to understand the basic principle of the Ascendant's breakthrough in life form, Zhou Ke. Currently, all the Ascendants in the Bad Land, no matter what method they use to break through, the core is the same!

They must find ways to reduce their own consumption of "bio-energy". While using drugs or meditation to stimulate the human body to produce more bio-energy, they must constantly purify and compress this energy, transforming it from quantitative change to qualitative change, and finally extracting the qualitatively changed bio-energy out of the body when they are about to break through.

After the final round of 'external purification', the biological energy is achieved in a 'sublimated state', and then it is poured back into the container that has been strengthened to the limit to achieve 'return', so that the 'spiritual and physical unity' is achieved and the dual physiological and spiritual evolution of the individual life form is realized.

Of course, psionicists who focus solely on mental strengthening are an exception.

But they actually also abide by this "sublimation system", but their focus is not on the physical container, but on the dual strengthening of the "spiritual container" and the "soul".

As far as I know, the energy sublimation in Eagle Nation will be completed with the assistance of other sublimators, while Snake Nation adopts the most ancient method to achieve sublimation by integrating individual biological energy with abstract elemental concepts.

Hubang is the roughest, but also the most technological.

They will complete the final energy sublimation in the Acholi Consortium's laboratory, using some special instruments to strengthen the individual's energy, and finally complete the rough infusion.

The risk of death from this procedure is quite high
Next time you meet a Tiger Nation Ascendant, you can pay attention to their bodies, fingertips, spines and foreheads. Those marked special parts have obvious "needle holes" and suture marks. Those are the scars left when they extract and infuse energy into their bodies.

So, here comes the question!

If your ability is 'extraction', it means that you don't actually need any external help and can complete the process of 'self-extraction' by yourself.

Use your ability to extract your own biological energy to form a special mask, and then continuously extract it to strengthen it. Continuous strengthening will eventually allow it to complete external qualitative changes. Finally, after your container is strengthened, use your own method to "return" the sublimated energy of this mask to your body.

In this way, you will naturally enter the sublimation state.
What the hell!

Your ability sounds lame, but it's actually amazing, buddy!"

Mulan exclaimed:
"This is a smooth ascension with almost no risk! The talented guys in the Badlands will go crazy over this."

"That makes sense. You are indeed a professional."

Zhou Ke nodded, and then, under Mulan's gaze, he took out his never-used white mask from his arms.

That was something that was formed after he extracted abnormal energy from himself every time he encountered emotional fluctuations during this period. Of course, Mulan couldn't see it, but from Zhou Ke's action he realized that Zhou Ke could indeed "extract himself".

"Brilliant!"

Mulan gave a thumbs up and praised:
"You are really a freak! It's amazing that someone like you could be born in the Badlands. Well, it seems that it's only a matter of time before you become an Ascendant."

"But it's just a gift, Mulan."

Zhou Ke waved his hand to wake up his two shadow warriors and said:

"I haven't figured out how this thing works yet. It makes me a little worried. If I really have two different powers, should I only take one path of sublimation? What if after I complete the sublimation, the shadow warrior's ability is gone?"

"This"

Director Mulan hesitated for a moment and said:
"Then you should take your time. I will study it further and try to give you a conclusion. Then you can tell me in detail the hallucinations you see every time you have a mental disorder.

Don't skip the details!

Those visions must have a meaning!
I suspect that it is the projection of the 'gaze' of a higher-dimensional force on your spiritual level. Their meaning in the field of mysticism is absolutely amazing. I need to find some evidence to assist me in drawing a conclusion. "

"Don't worry, I also have a question."

Zhou Ke looked at Mulan and said:

"You just said that I can use my extraction ability to help me cross the sublimation state 'risk-free', but I can also extract the energy of others to form a mask. I have actually been wondering, is this equivalent to helping others purify their own energy?
If I return the purified masks to their 'owners', thereby completing the 'return' of the sublimated energy in their bodies, does that mean I can also 'help' others cross the sublimation state?"

"???"

This question made Mulan's eyes widen, and the two men in the room stared at each other.

"Fuck!"

A few minutes later, Mulan uttered an indecent word, but it was obvious that Zhou Ke's psychic attributes might be even more extraordinary than he had imagined.

But if you think about it, you will know that this is just a guess and needs a lot of verification.

Just as the two were about to continue their communication, Wu Neng suddenly sent out a message reminder, interrupting Zhou Ke and Mulan's small mysticism class. He turned his head and saw the message, then frowned.

"what happened?"

Mulan asked, and Zhou Ke shook his head and said:
"Nothing. The previously scheduled operation time has been postponed. Little Acholi postponed the dinner time because the psychic storm was about to blow through the city-state area. Trouble!"
