Cthulhu America, I can see the kill line.
Chapter 47 Fortress
"Are you... a sun?"
Looking up at the pale sun suspended in a sea of pale purple stars, Kong Jiu was so astonished that he forgot to close his mouth for a moment.
He could feel the spiritual energy within him surging and turbulent under the pale light, as if his whole body was on fire, radiating light and heat along with the sun.
Are you surprised, Kong?
In her daytime form, Neos spoke in an ethereal and slightly teasing tone, "I thought the story of the octopus and the ant I told you earlier had already given you a good warning."
"Are you really not a god?"
Kong Jiu murmured unconsciously, his gaze still fixed on that straightforward and holy radiance, his heart unable to suppress the association with a transcendent being.
He remains a materialistic atheist at heart, a fact that has never wavered.
But he also understood that the world was no longer the red land it once was.
A true materialist should openly acknowledge what he sees, rather than stubbornly denying it or being obstinate.
The sun shimmered gently, like a girl's playful wink: "Perhaps in some distant future, in some world that doesn't belong to this plane, I might become a god, but not now, nor this sun."
"This is really unbelievable..." Kong Jiu said softly, raising his arm.
The surging spiritual energy within him caused the magic circuits on his forearms to glow with a translucent blue light, subtly shimmering beneath his skin as if reflecting the scorching sunlight of the day.
He hurriedly opened the panel:
[Intelligence: 10 (temporarily +30 after facing a nascent god from a certain dimension), Rank B Psychic.]
[Numerology (Abundant spiritual energy, activated loop traits): Anchors future possibilities through numerology.]
Numerology?
Kong Jiu suddenly looked up at the bright sun and blurted out, "Neo, do you and Arthur, these gods, all like to unleash skills so suddenly?"
"How dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?" A mocking voice of denial came from the daytime. "That's the potential that comes with your own internal pathways."
The inherent potential of the loop?
Kongjiu immediately remembered what Farah had once told him.
Farah said that Congo's psychic powers came from a magic loop left behind by his close friend Oscar.
Oscar's suicide note also seemed to mention something similar to "numerology".
This magic loop, with its Mystic Eyes for observing the killing line and its ability to open subspace, has already greatly benefited him.
Unexpectedly, there are other unawakened skills hidden within?
Kong Jiu activated the skill with a thought.
one two three four……
One after another, multi-colored polyhedrons bearing numbers appeared as spiritual energy condensed, radiating various colors of spiritual light, such as obsidian, azure, and crimson, and floated quietly in front of him.
"This is... a die?"
Kong Jiu reached out and picked up one, holding it up to his eyes to examine it closely.
Each of the heteromorphic polyhedra has thirteen faces, each with a different number on its face. There are a total of thirteen polyhedra, floating quietly in mid-air.
"Is it an attempt to transform psychic prophecy into controllable calculations by utilizing the power of numbers and geometry?"
Neos quipped, "The previous owner of the circuits in your body certainly had a brilliant idea."
"Maybe he just doesn't believe in magic or psychic powers..."
As Kong Jiu pondered, he responded softly, "Like Descartes or Dickens said: God is as indisputable as the sum of the interior angles of a triangle at 180 degrees... Is that what they mean?"
He twitched his fingertips, manipulating the dice he had conjured from his spiritual energy, and threw all thirteen of them at once.
At the very moment of throwing it, a series of complex formulas flooded into my mind.
Gazing at the dice that had come to rest on different numbers after their irregular motion, his mind raced, ultimately arriving at several perplexing results:
[Enter the currently overlapping subspace node for exploration:]
27% were detected by the guard at this node.
71% in-depth node exploration.
[2% Innocents Glow is reserved for VIPs.]
[Turn around and evacuate:]
99% of them were disappointed and scolded by Arthur and Neos.
1% was deemed by Neos to have suffered from mental instability due to excessive pressure, so she lay comfortably in her body's embrace for the night.
"?"
Kong Jiu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he swallowed.
What the hell is this?
The sun trembled slightly, and a thought came through: "It seems that the psionicist named Oscar has developed a rather interesting method for predicting the near future."
"But let's get down to business first," she said, then asked, "Arthur, how's the infiltration preparation going?"
The next moment, Squich's voice echoed in his mind:
The next moment, Squich's aged voice rang in Kong Jiu's mind: "Alright, alright, I've found a secluded intrusion point within that node. Kong, prepare to enter."
Before he finished speaking, a lush green crack appeared inside Kongjiu's transit station.
Kong Jiu was about to step inside when he noticed that Neos, who had transformed into daylight, had not followed.
"Uh... I thought you'd be the one to lead the way." He scratched his head, his tone revealing a hint of undisguised disappointment.
The sunlight flickered faintly, as if shaking its head: "Look at me, Kong, I'm so dazzling and conspicuous, how can I infiltrate with you?"
But then, a flash of white light suddenly entered Kongjiu's eyes.
"However, I will certainly guide you on your path; let this glimmer of light accompany you on your journey."
The white light entered his eyes, and Kong Jiu saw two pale suns reflected in them at the same time.
Why are there two Neos?
He thought he was seeing things and quickly blinked.
A clear thought emanated from the slightly dim sun on the left: "Kong, this is an existence that only you can see. I will always accompany you and guide you."
Kong Jiu turned around curiously, his back to the original daylight.
Sure enough, the sun in his eyes moved in sync with his gaze, always illuminating the surroundings, just like a light source bound to the viewpoint in a first-person game.
"Let's go, Kongjiu, to explore this subspace node," Neos's guidance echoed in his mind.
Without further hesitation, Kong Jiu leaped into the lush green subspace rift.
The next moment, the feeling of emptiness beneath my feet vanished, replaced by the tactile sensation of solid ground, as if I had returned to the real world.
He raised his head, looked around, and his pupils trembled slightly.
A majestic fortress made of grayish-brown boulders stood prominently before us.
The castle stands atop a steep cliff, its gray stone walls covered in mottled moss, exuding an aura of resilience despite the passage of time.
The towering main tower pierced the clouds, the watchtower seemingly merging with the gloomy sky; powerful crossbows peeked out from the narrow arrow slits, casting cold, imposing shadows. An oak drawbridge spanned the deep moat, its iron gates tightly shut, exuding a stern and imposing aura.
Although the ground beneath his feet felt real, the building before him, resembling a medieval lord's fortress, immediately made Kong Jiu realize that this place was definitely not anywhere in the real world.
He instantly recalled the grand and fantastical future vision that Farah had constructed in the subspace.
However, the building in front of us has a simple and ancient style, and it is clear that no time-space technology was used.
"Arthur, Neos, did you see that?"
Kong Jiu stared blankly at the fortress, still calling out to his two foreign aids in his heart despite his shock.
"I see it..." Squich's aged voice slowly broke the silence, tinged with obvious surprise, "The upper echelons actually built a large subspace node here... a fortress at that!"
A city within a city!
The upper-class gentlemen actually built a fortress in the upper area for the nobles to live in!
