Storm of Gods

Chapter 10 The Source of Worms
Li Xin integrated into the life of the night patrol faster than expected. This was not his idea, but the night patrol members felt the same way, as if this kid was born to do this.

Li Xin's current task is skill training, such as firearms, fighting, etc., and knowledge training is some mysterious events that night patrols often encounter and how to deal with them. It mainly emphasizes teamwork and collaboration, and does not advocate individual heroes.

The Night Watchmen's fighting style is to fight in groups whenever possible rather than one-on-one.

Another part is the rules and duties of the Night Watch. When Archon Luther created the Night Watch, he gave the Night Watch great power and many opportunities to civilians, and also formulated corresponding strict regulations.

"There are over a hundred rules, big and small. Take a look at them when you have time," Casey said. "The main ones are the eight precepts. You can't break them, or you can't protect anyone."

Li Xin nodded. There are still many rules for night patrolmen. After all, they have great power. Dealing with supernatural events often causes some troubles. If someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, it will be very troublesome. It is not acceptable if the ability and power are not restricted.

"Ah Xin, do you have a girlfriend? Do you want me to introduce you to one? I know a lot of pretty girls!" Cathy asked curiously. It was rare for a newcomer on the night patrol to be someone who wasn't ugly.

The butler was wearing riding boots today, a goose yellow three-quarter sleeve shirt with a beautiful lapel. The delicate edges and diamond necklace made his neck look white and elegant. Especially the pure yet young woman-like aura that was really charming.

"Sister Cathy, is the captain here?"

"Ah, him, he's here. He's almost going crazy from reading so much information lately." Casey said with a bit of heartache.

"The boss works very hard and should be taken care of more. We are all rough guys here, and only Sister Cathy is the most attentive." Li Xin said with a smile.

Only then did Casey come to his senses. In fact, Li Xin was also good at getting information. He invited Mo Feng and others to have a drink and poured out all the gossip, big and small, without asking.

Casey has been secretly in love with the captain for a long time. She is not ordinary in terms of conditions and family background. It was the captain who rescued her from a disaster. Unexpectedly, after growing up, she joined the night watchman despite her family's opposition. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but the captain is as unmoved as an iron tree.

"Ah Xin, how old are you? How dare you tease me and talk about your own business!" Casey immediately put his hands on his hips to hide his inner panic.

"Yeah, I'm just a kid, and this job doesn't last forever, so I don't dare to delay others." Li Xin waved his hand quickly, "Sister Cathy, you're busy. I've taken the manual. I have training today."

After saying that, he ran away. In addition to firearms training, Li Xin was interested in psychic power and its history. The Night Watchmen would also give a professional introduction on this aspect. However, after listening for a long time, he was a little disappointed. The Night Watchmen only paid attention to the surface of psychic power. They did not care about the origin and application of psychic power, but only paid attention to the use of psychic power.

Psychic power can strengthen the body, mobility and other basic qualities, but it also requires training to truly generate combat effectiveness, especially when facing various mysterious alien objects, sufficient knowledge is required to cause damage.

Alienated creatures are creatures that produce psychic energy. Some of them can understand human nature and are not harmful. Some nobles like to raise them, and some will hunt humans when their ambitions explode. These must be dealt with in a timely manner. Their vital points are basically the same as before the mutation, but special materials are required to kill them.

"This point must be made clear. Even if an ordinary knife pierces, it is not a fatal injury and can easily be counterattacked. The weapon must be from our Night Watchmen. Mithril was added during the refining process. If you really don't have it, you must be extremely vigilant. Beheading is not necessary. The death of an alienated creature will definitely show signs of psychic collapse. If there are no signs, it is not dead." Heisenberg said. He was not a Night Watchman, but from the Ministry of Justice. He worked part-time to train the new Night Watchmen on some basic common sense.

"The difficult ones are the creatures contaminated by the power of the abyss. They have intelligence and extremely strong combat capabilities, and they can also evolve continuously through devouring. The most common ones are the Lickers. They feed on flesh and blood, and the Awakened are a great supplement for them. Once they devour the Awakened, they will evolve some hunting abilities, such as mimicry, and their movements will be faster. The abyss worms that are parasitic in their bodies must be killed, otherwise they will not die. Moreover, once the worms find that their bodies are too severely damaged or there are better hosts, they will find ways to move." Heisenberg continued.

"Teacher, what is the Abyss? How do worms emerge from it? How long can they survive in the Daoyuan World? Do they need parasites? I'm curious about the trigger for their appearance. Is it a summons, or something else?" Li Xin asked. Heisenberg was stunned. Night watchmen generally didn't like his lectures, so he stuck to the more direct points.

Too much knowledge of the occult is actually useless to the Night Watch. The Church, the Congregation, the Night Watch, and the Knights Templar can all deal with mysterious events. Their responsibilities overlap, but they also differ, and sometimes they collaborate. The Night Watch has more freedom and greater mobility, which also makes them dislike to follow the rules.

Heisenberg looked at Li Xin's serious expression and drew three lines on the blackboard. The top line was written Daoyuan Continent, the middle line was written Spirit World, and the bottom line was the Abyss.

"The abyss and the spirit world aren't visually above or below, but simply for ease of understanding. The spirit world is where the gods reside, while the abyss is where the gods suppress the forces of destruction. Legend has it that when the abyss descends, doomsday arrives."

The abyss and the spiritual world are the foundation of the church. No one can really give an answer. What is circulating now are the answers and understandings given by each church. They are different about the gods, but they are similar about the abyss.

"What are the spirit world and the abyss like?"

Heisenberg smiled faintly. "It's hard to describe. I'd rather call it a moldable world, or a truly imaginary world. Once you step into it, you'll understand. No amount of description would be useful. But be aware that any attempt to set foot in it comes with a price."

Seeing Li Xin listening attentively, Heisenberg also perked up. "You just asked how the worms came from. They came from the abyss and penetrated the spirit world. The worms that accidentally landed there are likely to die naturally. They can't survive for long in the Daoyuan Continent and need to be raised in containers. Containers are living things, and humans have a higher survival rate."

Li Xin heard that this worm had a similar function to the divine relic, but it was simpler and cruder. They were both related to supernatural powers and needed humans as containers. Once contained, they would be given abilities and strength, and their personalities would be affected. Of course, there were differences. The worm would turn into a monster, which was disgusting. The licker looked so horrible that it looked like it couldn't even eat.

"Can the worm be controlled?" Li Xin asked casually.

Heisenberg glanced at Li Xin strangely and smiled slightly. "That's all for today's class. If anyone has any questions, please stay. I can work overtime."

The others had already dozed off and dispersed, but Li Xin stayed. Heisenberg looked at Li Xin and said, "You shouldn't join the Night Watch, you should join the House of the Lords."

"There is no obstacle to the thirst for knowledge."

"Knowledge is the most expensive luxury in Daoyuan Continent." Heisenberg stroked his beard with a hint of pride on his face.

"Ah, Professor Heisenberg, I suddenly remembered that I still have work and training. Let's have a free chat next time." Li Xin said with a smile.

"Ahem, knowledge is priceless, so I won't charge money," Heisenberg stopped him quickly. The most uncomfortable thing for a scholar is when the conversation comes to an abrupt end when it reaches something that interests him. It doesn't really matter whether this is pretentious or not.

He also wanted to get some information from the night patrolmen. Generally, the old men on night patrol were very slippery, vigilant and difficult to deal with.

This young man did have a chance, and since he had heard that he was a participant in the Licker incident, he was curious. "We can exchange."
