Tokyo Juggernaut 2077

In this world, Yuan Ye can even feel that time has slowed down—or, in other words, his thinking has speeded up.

The moment he entered this world, Yuan Ye was clearly aware of the warm current flowing in his body, which was the magical energy called psionic energy by Goldfinger and the name [Qi] in this world.

— Qi, stay in my body.

At the moment of this thought, the qi stopped flowing out.

——Think first, how should I act.

——It should be impossible for mere language to have such a great influence on me, and it is indeed just ordinary words, not mixed with any strange energy.

Memories of the past emerge one by one, and information that is not conscious, conscious and unnoticed is recaptured for analysis.

——It is an environmental problem.

——It should be right, as soon as I came here, the decoration of this room gave me a very uncomfortable feeling. Now that I think about it, it is a kind of continuous psychological suggestion.

—Do you want to destroy the furnishings of the house?

——No, that would be too late.

Thoughts collided in my mind, and a plan of action took shape instantly.

Without hesitation, Yuan Ye stretched out his hand and pulled out the pistol from the holster under his arm.

- First the headlights, then three ambient lights, and a light bar on the floor.

In the black and white world, the light source was accurately identified as a white circle, Yuan Ye opened the safety and fired rapidly.

Although this was Yuan Ye's first time shooting, his marksmanship in this state was terribly accurate, he didn't miss the target, and all hit the target.

The moment the house was dark, Minato turned his gun and fired several times at the place where Taketa Ito was standing in his memory.

——The last shot.

Yuan Ye, who had accurately counted the number of bullets, raised the muzzle of his gun and fired the last bullet at the frosted skylight.

After the bullet was ejected, Yuan Ye let go of his right hand, held the knife again with both hands, and began to charge forward.

Yuan Ye is already aware of the obstacles in front of him, even if there is no light, they will not hinder him.

Halfway through the breakthrough, the skylight shattered, and the clear moonlight fell down along the breach and flowed on the knife.

The white blade reflected Yuan Ye's face, calm and calm, as if nothing had happened.

--add a bit.

——Physical fitness: 16

Just after Yuan Ye finished adding a little bit, Da Dao left the range of the moonlight,

A physical quality of 16 is already the limit of ordinary people. If there is no genetic adjustment technology or special methods, just through mechanical exercise, the limit of the human body is here, but this is far from the carbon-based limit.

The knife sliced ​​through the moonlight and slid a graceful arc in the dark room.

The feeling of piercing into the flesh came along the fingertips, and Genye's knife accurately slashed Taketa Ito's neck.

Then, the lights came on.

The light was restored in the room, allowing Yuan Ye to see Taketa Ito clearly in front of him.

And the bullets floating between the two.

===Chapter 53 Hard to Surrender===

"It's a surprise, it's a surprise." Taketa Ito wiped the blood from his neck with his hands. It seemed that being injured was not something to be afraid of, but a happy event for him.

"Aiko, come down, you made a mistake this time." Taketa Ito said loudly.

The knife in Yuan Ye's hand shattered, and the broken blade and the bullet were in free fall, falling straight and hitting the ground, making a pleasant sound.

Yuan Ye held an empty handle awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

He glanced at the label on Taketa Ito's head, it was still [like an ant], which made Yuan Ye wonder if there was something wrong with his golden finger.

"You are still very confused." Ito Taketa looked at Yuanye's distorted face and laughed, "I told you everything, your experience did not lie to you."

"Let me introduce, this is my wife Aiko." Ito Taketa pointed to the beauty in kimono who came behind him and introduced her.

Yuan Ye was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to say hello, but in the end, out of habit, he said politely: "Miss Aiko, hello."

Ito Taketa looked at Yuan Ye's performance, and laughed again: "You are so polite, you are so interesting, among so many people who accepted this commission, you are the only one who can say hello."

"Just now, it was Aiko who was using Qi to help me defend against your attack. It's not that you were mistaken." Taketa Ito sat down on his own, pointing to the sofa in front of him, "Sit down."

Yuan Ye had no choice but to sit down, and now he understood that there was a person present who exceeded the carbon-based limit, and he had no chance of winning from the beginning, so he had to sit down and listen to the other party's actions.

"Although my body is weakened, my eyesight is still there. You just strengthened your body with Qi, right?" Taketa Ito looked at Yuan Ye with a look of looking at a baby, "Although it may be an emergency Subconscious action, but also very remarkable, if I am not what I am now, I will definitely want to accept you as a disciple."

"It's ridiculous." Yuan Ye replied.

"Okay, I'm not a person who likes to talk nonsense, let's reveal the answer to the previous story, but before that, we must first finish the story." Taketa Ito turned around and turned to his previous story. Yuan Ye was a little confused about the story.

"After losing the duel, Jiro was depressed and died soon after, which made Taro very sad." Sato Taketa said, "Actually, Taro and Jiro are close friends who traveled the world together, the so-called number one swordsman in the world, but It’s just a battle of wills.”

"So Taro is deliberately sensual, and wants to lose to Jiro?" Yuan Ye asked.

"How can there be so many others? Taro is just such a lazy person. At most, he doesn't pay attention to his reputation, but he won't do this kind of behavior that is equivalent to insulting the other party. It's just that his nature is hard to change." Ito Taketa laughed. He said, "After Jiro passed away, in order to commemorate him, Taro bought Jiro's mansion and lived in it himself."

"You know how it turned out? Taro forgot to stop the money of those bragging people, and being bragged by those storytellers, Taro found that his skills became more and more refined."

"This is too... shameless." Yuan Ye was a little speechless. Doesn't this mean that as long as he listens to people's praise, his skill will gradually increase?

"That's why I said that qi is an energy that goes against common sense." Ito Taketa sighed, "But after another year, no matter how much the storyteller brags, Taro's skill has not increased again, even after Taro It didn’t continue to grow even after paying for new and more storytellers.”

"Is it because you are tired of listening?" Yuan Ye guessed from the changes in his mind.

"Of course not, it's just because he sucked up the naturally occurring jade mine underground in Jiro's mansion." Taketa Ito said the answer with a smile, looking at Yuan Ye, waiting for his reaction.

Yuan Ye frowned as expected, this result was too difficult for people to accept.

"So, although qi is the energy that moves with the changes of the mind, it actually follows the rules very much." Taketa Ito explained, "As long as you want to become stronger, the qi contained in nature, even other people's qi If you think you are weak, the qi in your body will flow out naturally; if you think others are strong, your qi will automatically strengthen him, and even mobilize your own qi to collect natural qi, to strengthen him."

"But the premise of all this is that you have to have Qi." Taketa Ito stretched out a finger, "As long as there is no Qi, you cannot become stronger out of nothing, no matter how powerful your heart is. There have been There are examples of people who have dried up their qi and get angry again, but no matter how many times it happens, it is finally proved that the potential of the flesh has not been fully tapped, rather than the qi being generated out of thin air."

"Isn't this too strange?" Yuan Ye didn't know what to say. The energy of qi seems to be quite idealistic, but it still abides by some materialistic principles. It is really difficult to summarize. "What is the answer to the story?" What is it?"

"It's Feng Shui, or in modern language, it's the influence of visual elements on the spirit." Taketa Ito explained, "When you break the lamp, don't you realize the influence of the environment on you? This room is the corresponding technology applications, but in a more aggressive mode."

"The feng shui of Jiro's mansion helps to calm the mind and concentrate. In other words, the architecture of that mansion can not easily attract attention and make people concentrate. And this kind of concentration does not include external voices. , on the contrary, the function of helping to concentrate can make those words more deeply engraved in people's hearts."

"But didn't you say that Jiro withstood the pressure?" Yuan Ye asked.

"This will involve the content of the next step after stepping into the extraordinary realm." Taketa Ito deliberately kept it a secret, and waited for a while until Yuan Ye finally understood his thoughts and let go of his expression Controlled, after pretending to be anxious, he said slowly, "Because people cannot completely control their own hearts."

"What exactly do you mean?" Yuan Ye was a little bit broken, he could see that the old man Taketa Ito just wanted to see his complexion change to gain a sense of superiority, although this made him feel that the old man was quite interesting and made people feel very close , but he was not a person with big mood swings, so he could only put on various expressions to satisfy the old man's "childlike innocence".

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Ito Taketa seemed to notice that Yuan Ye was a little irritable, so he stopped in time and said, "Let's have some tea and some snacks before we talk."

Aiko, who had been waiting for a long time with a tray behind the two of them, came over when she heard this, and offered tea and refreshments to the two of them.

===Chapter 54 Breathing method===

After Aiko served the tea, Yuan Ye did not taste it, but hurriedly returned a message to Hoshino Shiori who had been sending him messages non-stop after hearing the gunshot.

"As soon as you stop, reply to the message from the people outside. Is it your girlfriend?" Taketa Ito asked Yuan Ye's actions when he noticed Yuan Ye's actions.

Yuan Ye heard Taketa Ito's question, and understood that their actions may have been under the observation of the old man in front of them from the beginning, without any secrets.

"No, it's just a friend." Yuan Ye hesitated, and finally gave this answer. He is now connected to Hoshino Shiori. If he pretends to be this boyfriend, he thinks it may cause Hoshino Shiori's displeasure , "Has Mr. Ito discovered us from the beginning?"

"It's not like an ordinary friend who is willing to accompany you in the cold wind." Taketa Ito shook his head, and didn't continue to delve into this topic.

"However, it is indeed a very smart way to form a surveillance array with drones. As long as it rises to an altitude of about a thousand meters, normal people will basically not notice it." Taketa Ito pointed to the top of his head, "But now in low-Earth orbit But there are tens of thousands of small satellites suspended, they not only serve as signal relay stations, replacing the base station in non-populated areas, they can also be used as 'eyes in the sky' to monitor the ground."

"Of course, you don't need to worry. There are still very few people who can mobilize the video surveillance satellites. It's not because of privacy protection, it's just that they don't want to share this precious power." Ito Taketa said calmly, but The implication is that he also has this authority.

"Don't you want some snacks? Aiko's cooking skills are still very good." Ito Taketa glanced at Yuan Ye, saw him shaking his head, and continued, "It's a good thing for young people to be cautious, and I won't force it. Then keep talking."

"Let's change an example that you young people can understand. For example, there is a saying that 'music will force your ears'. Have you heard it?" Taketa Ito said, "That is to say, no matter how much you How to control one's mind, after all, people have limits, the mind will always have omissions, and under strong external interference, flaws will appear quickly."

"There are also various sects who regard spiritual cultivation as the most important thing. Are their attempts wrong?" Yuan Ye asked. According to the situation in this world, most of the spiritual cultivation that was just empty talk before time travel is here. On the contrary, it may be some early attempts to explore the superhuman realm and use Qi.

"It's said that the Buddha also had Vajra's glaring eyes. Jiro's failure was also due to this. It doesn't mean that his sword heart is not perfect enough, it's just that he was limited by the cruel laws of biology." Taketa Ito shook his head, "But their It's not wrong to try."

"Most of the cultivation methods in the early days were just a summary of experience, and did not introduce scientific verification methods like modern times. Their secret books use obscure language, mixed with countless metaphors and allusions, as well as the author's nonsense." Ito Mrs. Wu smiled, "You probably don't want to hear me talk to you about the theory of four body fluids or the theory of yin and yang balance, which require a lot of metaphysics to understand. Let's talk about it in modern language."

Ito Taketa is like an old teacher who is proficient and seductive, knowing everything and talking endlessly, as if Yuan Ye didn't collect money to come to him to complete the commission, but Yuan Ye paid to come to him to receive teaching.

But the knowledge of these extraordinary fields is urgently needed by Yuan Ye, who has no understanding of it. When the human body reaches the carbon-based limit, what should be the next step? It couldn't be better, so he settled down and played a good student.

"Since the words from the outside world will affect people's mind, that is, thinking, which will lead to changes in the movement of qi." Taketa Ito thought about it and said, "then those who have qi have made a guess-whether language precedes Thinking, or rather, language is the basis of thinking."

"Language relativity? Hasn't that thing been falsified yet?" Yuan Ye was a little surprised. This was a theory almost 200 years ago, and it had been questioned before he traveled. Completely falsified.

"Do you also know about the Wolfe hypothesis?" Taketa Ito asked in surprise.

"I prefer to read some casual books."

"It's a good thing to like to read, but the structure of the human brain has not yet been fully explained scientifically. Although the existence of qi seems to prove that human beings are special, it is still unknown whether we are a more advanced biological machine. "The praise in Ito Taketa's eyes was added, "Therefore, it has not been confirmed that the innate ability to generate language prior to language, that is, the existence of generative grammar, has not been confirmed."

"However, in the research in the second half of the 21st century, the relationship between language and thought is considered to be a more ambiguous relationship, but that is all scientific research. If you want to understand it, you should consider getting a doctorate in linguistics degree, instead of listening to my old man’s nonsense.” Taketa Ito smiled self-deprecatingly, “And this is all research done not long ago. What I want to say is an even older time, or in other words, modern science. It has not yet been established.”

"Those who discovered the relationship between language and thinking began to study. Since language can affect thinking, it can also affect the operation of Qi. We can use it to help people grow and control Qi." Takeshi Ito is not happy He said in a hurry, "But the results of the initial research are not useful to those who have exceeded the carbon-based limit, but they are of great help to those who have not reached this field."

"That's the birth of the breathing method." Taketa Ito turned on the projection TV on the wall and brought up a human body anatomy map, "In the final analysis, the basis of language is nothing but the vibration of the air. Before the formation of civilization, primitive people Thinking and language already existed, and at that time people hunted together, and they only used one or two short syllables that were customary to influence others, and naturally they could also influence themselves.”

"Just like the encouragement of others sometimes makes people exert stronger power, the idea of ​​finding a way to guide oneself to be stronger and move closer to the carbon-based limit has resulted in the breathing method."

"However, the breathing method at that time was still very rough. Everyone just found a certain breathing rhythm that contained only one or two syllables that were useful for strengthening themselves. In fact, there were still many useless parts. The key to really explaining the breathing method The role of speech syllables in themselves, and arranging them like the periodic table of elements, is already a thing after the creation of science." Taketa Ito said with some nostalgia, "I also participated in this work at that time, and people from all over the world Under the pressure of muskets, the primitive cultivators took out their secret books and selflessly communicated and researched, it was really a wonderful time."

Yuan Ye couldn't help feeling a little creepy, this guy's age is definitely more than 112 years old, and the gift of advancing in the extraordinary realm definitely brought him a lifespan far beyond Yuan Ye's imagination.

Itoh Taketa seemed to have noticed the change in Yuan Ye's face, and asked abruptly: "Do you want it? Breathing method."

"If you want, come and make a deal."

===Chapter 55 Trading===

"Okay..." Yuan Ye replied subconsciously, but he came to his senses in an instant, "Are you hinting at me with that special tone again?"

"Sorry, sorry." Taketa Ito rubbed his hands, not sure if he was really apologizing or relieving the embarrassment of being seen through, "I'm used to it, I couldn't hold back for a while."

"Before that, I want to ask, Mr. Ito, what exactly are you trying to do with this commission?" Yuan Ye didn't want to fall into the previous rhythm, so he could only passively accept psychological hints, and asked proactively.

"Because I'm old." Taketa Ito showed a complicated expression that he didn't know whether it was sadness or helplessness, "I'm so old that I can't even hold my breath."

"As I said before, qi is the energy that moves with the changes of the mind. For someone like me who has gone a little further in the extraordinary realm, the day of my inevitable death is also predictable. .In the face of this irresistible natural law, my heart can no longer stick to it, I no longer believe that I can live forever, and the qi that maintains my life will naturally leave me."
