Mygo, New Tokyo Black Girl

After having Lenna briefly describe her newfound abilities to her four fellow members of the Lost Child Group, Chihaya Aine asked Lenna this question:

"But, this sounds like a combination of 'ignite objects' and 'teleportation'?"

Chihaya Aine's question was actually quite insightful. After all, for a "guitar" who often needs to hide her whereabouts to carry out actions, the ability to jump back and forth in the flames is certainly convenient, but it is a bit too conspicuous.

Although Chihaya Aine herself does not dislike this gorgeous movement effect, from an exploratory perspective, she still has some doubts about this kind of mental imagery ability.

Regarding this question, Yaonai explained:

"When ignited, particles gain energy at high temperatures, and electrons transition to excited states, making it easier to find strings in spatial dimensions..."

Lenai was asked to explain to his companions using a mixture of poetic language and scientific principles why his jumping movements were accompanied by the generation of flames.

"I don't understand physics!" Even Chihaya Aine, who was quite good at physics, couldn't understand Kaname Rakuna's bizarre statement.

As for Gao Songdeng who was listening on the side, he didn't understand anything at all.

Contrary to the stereotype that people usually have, Kaname, a girl who is like a stray cat, actually has very good academic performance, especially in physics. She even knows a lot of relatively advanced knowledge that is not expected of her grade.

Of course, even someone who has systematically studied the relevant knowledge may not be able to fully understand what Yao Lenai said.

After all, Kaname's words were mixed with a lot of things that could only be observed from the corresponding perspective after possessing her mental image [Unbound Sharp Arrow] or a similar spatial domain mental image.

This kind of thing that is different from ordinary people and far beyond human normal senses is difficult for Yao Lenai to convey in ordinary and plain language.

To give an inappropriate example, suppose there is an intelligent creature whose eyes can see infrared and ultraviolet rays. How can it convey the color of this light to humans who do not have this kind of vision?

"So that's why you said, Lena, that you... inherited some of Ms. Tsuzuki's abilities?" Nagasaki Suyo asked Lena.

Nagasaki Suyo, who was used to speaking politely, naturally did not repeat the word "eat it", but Lenai's situation did make the quick-witted Nagasaki Suyo have many associations.

New Beijing Elegy: Chapter 163: Big Fish Eat Small Fish

If we say that the ability that Le Nai just demonstrated, using fire as a door to move freely across distances within a certain space, was not the product of her further development of her mental imagery and the discovery of her own potential.

Then, for Lenai to suddenly acquire this new ability that is deeply related to the space field, it can only come from Lenai's grandmother, the "Lord of the Burnt City" who was defeated by the five members of the Lost Group.

In fact, Nagasaki Suyo was extremely impressed by the ability to move across space using flames as a support.

After all, Nagasaki Suyo was killed by the Lord of the Burning City who used this ability to suddenly come to her back and stab her with a knife.

Even now, when Nagasaki Suyo recalls the scene, she still feels a dull pain in her waist.

That thrilling feeling still seems to linger in my mind. The Lord of the Burnt City, transformed from the legendary ninja, is the most powerful opponent that the five members of the Lost Group have faced since the team was established.

The memory of how two members of the Lost Group who possessed the ability to heal their bodies and minds were defeated in a single blow, rendering them unable to fight, is still vivid in my mind.

If it weren't for the fact that at the end of this battle, Shiina Riki hadn't dared to take the risk and sacrifice himself, gambled his entire body and soul, and took a huge risk, using the burning of his body as a guide to accept the heart fire power belonging to the fire worshippers, and through this, completed the awakening of the mind image...

Normally, the five members of the Lost Group would have absolutely no chance of winning against an enemy of the Burnt City Lord's level.

After all, as a person who also possesses the ability of telepathy in the spatial field, the Lord of Burning City's telepathy ability is far more profound and powerful than that of Lenai.

Compared to the "Flashing Arrow" movement that usually requires the use of mental power to mark objects, the Lord of the Burning City's method of using fire as a medium to instantly cross distances appears to be more ingenious and convenient.

What's more, the Lord of Burning City can easily escape his body into an unaffected virtual space, making him almost invincible.

Under the circumstances at that time, only when the Lord of the Burning City launched his attack, were the members of the Lost Group able to effectively launch their counterattacks on the opponent.

However, compared to the opponent's almost invulnerable super-fast reaction ability, the offensive that the Lost Group could launch was undoubtedly not fast and powerful enough.

Even bullets fired from guns can be easily neutralized by the opponent's terrifying reaction.

If it weren't for the fact that Shiina Riki completed his own mind awakening and had the ability to counter the mind of the Lord of Burning City, the price paid by the Lost Group in this final battle at the end of Burning City would have been much more painful than it is now.

But back to the current topic, if this new ability displayed by Lenai is not the so-called inheritance of blood from her grandmother... then it can only lead to a more shocking speculation.

Perhaps, as she claimed, Kaname's newly acquired abilities were the result of "consuming" the Burnt City Lord's mind power. As for why Kaname gained this power from the Burnt City Lord, it might be because Kaname's mind power was closer in nature to her grandmother's.

As a mental image that also belongs to the realm of space, it is perhaps understandable that after killing the Lord of the Burning City, Lenai's [Unbound Arrow] was able to use the opponent's mental image as nourishment to gain further growth.

However, the occurrence of this situation directly revealed a disturbing possibility to Nagasaki Suyo: the inheritance and absorption of mental imagery abilities might not be an isolated incident.

If this is true, then all people who possess mental images may be devoured and merged with people who possess similar or similar mental images, thereby expanding their own mental imagery abilities and possessing more powerful mental imagery power.

So... this means that once two people with similar mental image fields meet, they will naturally have the idea and desire to use each other as nourishment and material for promotion without any hostile reasons.

'Being close means cannibalism.' This speculation about the nature of the power of mental images sent a chill down Nagasaki Suyo's spine.

Even as a gangster who was used to fighting for profit, Nagasaki Suyo had never thought that the competition among the awakened minds would even regress to this primitive law of survival.

As a "Best" who is well versed in human nature and accustomed to planning, Nagasaki Suyo knows very well that if this conjecture comes true and this law is made public, the world of the awakened mind will fall into endless disputes and devouring, and the dark side of human nature will be completely released.

Of course, mind awakening is not yet so popular in the world, and there are only a few people who can complete their own mind awakening at this point in time.

Theoretically, there shouldn't be any mind-awakened people who would directly start a dispute just because they want to use the other party as material for their own promotion.

Nagasaki Suyo continued to think along this line of thought. From this perspective, the wider the scope of a mind-awakened person's abilities, the wider the range of objects that this person can "merge and devour", and the greater the potential danger.

Moreover, judging from the ability that Lenai has currently demonstrated to transcend her original spatial domain and initially involve the ability to control fire, her mental imagery ability is no longer limited to spatial movement, and may even expand to the realm of fire and heat.

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but have some fantasies. Is there such a thing as an "all-powerful person" in this world who can devour any awakened person with a mind image from the very beginning?

You just need to kill the mind-awakeners one by one and devour their mind images. Such people will only become stronger and stronger, and eventually, all the people in the world who possess this magical power will be killed and eaten.

In this way, the only person who is awakened in mind will become a god walking on earth.

Nagasaki Suyo's mind was filled with strange thoughts, and this uneasy feeling immediately made her start playing with her fingers unconsciously, pinching the nails of her left and right hands together. This was a habit Nagasaki Suyo had when she was nervous or deep in thought.

Takamatsu Deng, who came to the side of the conference table, quickly noticed Nagasaki Suyo's little action and immediately realized that Nagasaki Suyo was in a nervous state.

Gao Songdeng asked softly, "Su Shi, what's wrong?"

New Beijing Elegy: Chapter 164: Enemies and Villains

After hearing Takamatsu Deng ask her this question, Nagasaki Suyo did not intend to hide it.

After all, this matter concerns the safety of all people who possess mental images, and there is no need to hide this kind of thinking from your partners.

Nagasaki Motoyo shared with her fellow lost children some of the associations she had made based on the fact that Kaname Rakuna had successfully 'inherited' some of her grandmother's mental imagery abilities.

"It's actually possible to do this..." Chihaya Aine listened carefully to Nagasaki Motoyo's speculation about the extreme law of the jungle and the Matthew effect that is very likely to exist among the awakened mind images.

This very straightforward speculation that would make people feel insecure made Chihaya Aine subconsciously pinch the ends of her hair.

Although she never said it out loud, Chihaya Aine was still somewhat proud of herself for being able to complete the awakening of her mind image and become a true psychic.

After all, there were many hardships behind this extraordinary ability, not to mention that this unique feeling of being "different" could indeed arouse the little vanity of a girl of Aine's age.

Even Chihaya Aine occasionally fantasizes that the information that she is a person with super powers is accidentally made public, and she is widely and enthusiastically admired and praised by the people of New Tokyo.

Well, it seems that once the information about myself as a mind awakener is leaked, there is no need to say whether I can be accepted by the general public. Even those who have a certain common language with me and are also mind awakeners, according to Su Shi, are probably not the same kind of people who can get along with each other in a friendly manner.

Once the general ability and tendency of one's own mind image was exposed, the people who would come to the door might be some gluttonous maniacs who were eager to turn the mind image in the same field into food and wanted to tear Aine into pieces and eat her like a piece of luncheon meat.

Of course, this so-called "eating" is only an act in the sense of the mental realm. There is no need for the awakened mentalists to eat human flesh if they want to quickly accumulate mental power!

Takamatsu Touma, who was sitting next to Chihaya Aine and close to Nagasaki Soyo, did not have any special reaction. She had personally experienced the ugly things of human nature represented by this little penguin-like girl, and the so-called tendency of mind awakeners to devour each other was not too strange to her.

As long as this kind of thing doesn't affect Gao Songdeng's lifelong gang membership, it can be treated as an anecdote and passed over.

Across the conference table sat Tatsuki Shiina and Rakuna Kaname, who were sitting side by side.

After listening to Nagasaki Motoyo's statement, Shiina Riki frowned, but soon relaxed.

"It's nothing serious. If someone wants to attack us in the future, we can just beat them up until they lose the ability to take care of themselves."

Shiina Riki said this.

Simple and direct principles are always convenient.

The "drummer" in this gang has always advocated this kind of quick style of repaying blood with blood.

This speculation, which reveals that the situation among the awakened minds is as barbaric and bloody as a dark forest, is certainly terrifying. However, as long as the five members of the Lost Group unite as one to face the various challenges they will face in the future, even such a daunting crisis is by no means an unsolvable dilemma.

What's more, the Lost Group hasn't encountered many mind awakeners yet... well, there's just an organization with mind awakeners as cadres, and half a city made up of crazy monsters.

The fact that awakened minds can fight and devour each other like refining poison is probably not a consensus among all awakened minds.

How could the awakened minds, who are already a minority among the crowd, have so much room to engage in such a life-and-death struggle one by one?

As for this madman who only exists in imagination and "wants to kill and devour all the awakened minds", Shiina Riki's idea is that there is no need to worry about such a guy suddenly appearing in front of him for the time being.

To be honest, are there really people who have such unrealistic fantasies?

Instead of worrying about the existence of this madman who is conjectured based on a little information, it is better to concentrate on discussing the real theme of this group meeting of five people from the Lost Child group gathered in the conference room.

Yes, in fact, the five members of the Lost Group gathered here today to communicate and discuss something else.

That is……

Kaname Runa, who was sitting next to Shiina Riki, was still the relatively quiet one in the Lost Child group today.

For now, Kaname is actually in a pretty good mood.

After all, Lenai is now able to become the true inheritor of her grandmother's mental image and ideas by inheriting her abilities, and Lenai is indeed happy about it at this moment.

Even though this phenomenon reveals the dark reality among those who have awakened their minds, Kaname still uses it to inherit what belongs to her grandmother.

This incident was a great comfort to the girl who had lost her last relative.

Today, what the Lost Group is going to discuss is actually closely related to Kaname Rakuna.

In other words, this five-person meeting can actually be considered to have been initiated by Kaname Lenai.

Kaname said to his four companions in an earnest tone:

"Ritsuki, Aine, Suyo, Tomo... help me."

Kaname, whose family she yearns for day and night, and whose grandmother, Tsuzuki Shifune, is a master ninja, taught Kaname the techniques to survive in this world and guided Kaname throughout her life...

Such a person, as a crazy monster, died in the harbor area in an unclear manner.

However, Yao Lenai had no idea who had persecuted her grandmother to such a state.

Kaname Lenai has completely accepted the fact that she has gained her grandmother's power through the devouring of mind images.

This matter really made Kaname happy.

And... the unforgettable burning pain after the pleasure, and the strong hatred for those who wanted to use my grandmother as a pawn and turn this ninja into a monster, and the heart-wrenching desire to personally grind the bones and scatter ashes of the person behind the Harbor District incident.

If it weren't for these trustworthy companions, if it weren't for the four girls fighting alongside Lenai, Lenai would probably have fallen into endless rage and become another madman who set the entire city on fire.

New Beijing Elegy: Chapter 165: Working Together

"Stray cat... Lenai, I'll support you."

In response to Kaname Rakuna's earnest request, Shiina Riki simply said these simple words.

But anyone could see the undisguised firm belief in Li Xi's eyes.

Shiina Riki's simple words were absolutely serious.

The "drummer" of the lost group will do his best to help his friend who wants to track down his enemy.

Moreover, even if it means risking one's life for it, one will do it.

Li Xi would not tolerate anyone who dared to murder the family of someone close to him.

What's more, it was this kind of thing, which turned a master with excellent skills into a heartless monster who only knew how to kill and torture.

The friendship between Shiina Riki and Kaname Rakuna alone is enough to allow her to empathize with Rakuna who lost her grandmother.

After all, just when Li Xi, the owner of the cafe, interacted with Yao Lenai, a customer, he could easily feel the loneliness of this girl who was one year younger than him, as well as her desire for the bond of family.

A gang is a community with a shared destiny of life and death. Shiina Riki has the courage and awareness to face the enemy together with Kaname Rana.

"I will work hard with you too. We are a lifelong gang." Takamatsu Deng took over the conversation and directly expressed his support for Kaname Rakuna, the "guitar" of the Lost Group.

"Those bastards who turned the entire city into a scorched earth will be punished by our Lost Team!" Chihaya Aine used language that was very much indicative of the team's collective consciousness, and also expressed her willingness to fully support the revenge that Kaname desired.

"To be able to create such a grand scene, there must be a very powerful force behind it." Nagasaki Motoyo told her companions how difficult this operation, which had not yet begun, would be and how huge the hostile forces they might face would be.

"However, there's nothing wrong with adding some challenges to your life, right?" Nagasaki Motoyo said to her four companions with a smile.

In Neo-Tokyo, a gang rarely acts out of pure revenge, but more for survival and profit.

But perhaps the five members of the Lost Group are indeed exceptions. These five gang girls can indeed try their best for the emotions and morality between each other and do things that can be proven to be irrational.

However, having said that, if they cannot even share the anger and hatred of their companions and unite against the common enemy, then the existence of the Lost Child Group will lose its meaning.

When the five people reached a consensus and wanted to investigate the mastermind behind the incident in the Harbor District, the basic purpose of the Lost Group's gathering was achieved.
