Chapter 349 Control

If you want to know the effect of Jiang Shixue's [Marionette], you naturally need to experiment. And her type of awakening, from what others say, is definitely not good enough, Wang Tao thinks it is better to experience it in person.

So, Wang Tao said directly to Jiang Shixue:

"You use your awakening on me."

"Ah?"

Jiang Shixue was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wang Tao with bright eyes.

"Really?"

Including Jiang Shixue, everyone actually didn't know that Wang Tao could directly see through other people's attributes, because Wang Tao didn't say it, and they also thought that Wang Tao was good at observation and knew a lot.

So Jiang Shixue didn't know that she had been seen through, and she was still very interested in controlling Wang Tao.

"Really, you try it-oh, by the way, sister-in-law, help me take a video!"

Wang Tao said with a smile.

"Okay! Then pay attention!"

Jiang Shixue looked at Wang Tao's eyes and suddenly a trace of red light flashed, and then Wang Tao seemed to be in a trance. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was stroking Jiang Shixue's hair, and Jiang Shixue at this time took a deep breath.

"Huh?"

Wang Tao was immediately surprised.

The feeling he just had... was nothing!

It seemed to be in a trance, but it seemed not to be? He only remembered that he asked Jiang Shixue to use awakening on him, Jiang Shixue agreed, and then...his hand was placed on Jiang Shixue's head. He didn't remember when he stretched out his hand, but now that he saw his hand, he was surprised and felt it was very natural.

"Hehe~"

Jiang Shixue took a deep breath, and a little smug smile appeared on her face.

"Very tired?"

Wang Tao felt a thin layer of sweat on Jiang Shixue's head.

"Your mental power is too strong. It's hard for me to control it..."

Jiang Shixue was a little distressed at first, and then a little happy. After all, she hoped that Wang Tao would be strong.

Wang Tao wiped her sweat and said:

"Tell me what happened in detail - Oh, by the way, sister-in-law, video!"

Ding Yuqin and others also came over in surprise. She showed Wang Tao the video she had just shot, and Jiang Shixue explained to Wang Tao what was going on.

After seeing the scene shot in the video, Wang Tao frowned.

The video showed that when he told Jiang Shixue to use awakening, Jiang Shixue glowed with a faint red light, and then his body suddenly stiffened, and then he put his hand on Jiang Shixue's head, stroking Jiang Shixue's hair somewhat stiffly.

This process lasted only one second. In this second, Wang Tao's eyes were dull, his expression was cold, and his body movements were stiff... He didn't look like him at all, or he didn't look like a living person!

Although it was only a short second, it still made everyone feel a little scared.

Wang Tao himself felt a little cold on his back, a puppet... Did he turn him into a puppet?

The main thing is that Wang Tao himself basically didn't feel anything. If he hadn't known in advance that Jiang Shixue was going to use awakening on him, he might not have known that he had been controlled until now...

This unknown feeling makes people feel scared.

Everyone looked at Jiang Shixue, and Jiang Shixue immediately explained:

"My awakening is an ability to control other people's thoughts. It is somewhat similar to my previous hidden attribute, but it is also very different..."

Jiang Shixue's [Marionette] is an active awakening.

There are two abilities, night vision and controlling other people's thoughts.

Night vision seems to be similar to before, and she naturally does not consume awakening energy when using it, but whether there are some changes in specific details needs to be further tested.

Now the main test is her ability to control people's thoughts.

When she used [Marionette] on Wang Tao, she could roughly feel Wang Tao's mental power.

At that time, she had a feeling-Wang Tao's mental power was very strong, comparable to hers!

If it was the previous hidden ability, then she obviously couldn't control Wang Tao, because her ability could only be used to control people with very low mental power, and it was generally not very useful, and she rarely used it.

But her current awakening [Marionette] is different. She can still control people with similar mental power!

She even feels that she has a chance to control people with higher mental power than her, but that requires some conditions and the improvement of her own strength.

As for how she controls Wang Tao, it is completely different from her previous hidden attributes.

Her previous [Eye of the Contract] hidden attribute, which is said to be able to control other people's thinking to a certain extent, is actually to guide and give people a hint, so that people subconsciously act according to Jiang Shixue's ideas. Or to put it more bluntly, it is a very short hypnosis.

But now her [Marionette] awakening is different. This is not hypnosis, this is forced control!

She directly controlled Wang Tao's body and let Wang Tao touch her head!

She felt that Wang Tao was like a puppet that she could control at will, and she could control Wang Tao to do anything at will!

Of course, this is just her feeling, and it is definitely not the case in reality.

She just controlled Wang Tao to touch her head, and she was sweating profusely. And it only lasted for a second, which was very short...

When she was controlling Wang Tao, she could feel any action she took to control Wang Tao, but she could also feel that those actions would not succeed. Because Wang Tao's mental strength was too strong!

For example, she wanted to control Wang Tao to take out weapons and kill the people around him. For this kind of thing, Wang Tao would instinctively resist even if his perception was blocked and he didn't know anything.

Wang Tao's mental power is very strong. If Wang Tao resists, Jiang Shixue will not be able to do anything even if he lets him touch his head, let alone let him attack. There is a high probability that Wang Tao will wake up directly.

If Jiang Shixue wants to control the current Wang Tao, she must choose something that Wang Tao will not dislike. For example, Wang Tao would obviously not be disgusted if he touched her head.

So Jiang Shixue tried it, and sure enough she could control Wang Tao to put his hand on her head.

As for Wang Tao's dull eyes and stiff body, this is related to Jiang Shixue's ability. She could feel that if she became stronger and stronger, she might be able to control someone like a normal person without being able to tell. But that’s definitely not possible now…

Finally, there is the consumption of [Puppet].

She is a bit similar to Wang Tao's [Catching Fire], which starts with 100 awakening energy each time and has no upper limit.

But [Catching Fire] with 100 awakening energy can last for 10 seconds, but Jiang Shixue's [Puppet] can only last for 1 second. This time is ridiculously short...

Of course, whether the time she controls is related to Wang Tao's level and mental strength, or whether it is fixed for one second, she still needs to continue testing...

"Amazing!"

Everyone was amazed by Jiang Shixue's [Puppet].

He can actually control others directly! Even Wang Tao can control it, this awakening is too powerful!

Although she only controlled Wang Tao for a second, and although she did not control Wang Tao to do something that Wang Tao did not want to do, she still could not hide the power of this awakening. After all, Wang Tao is inherently strong, and what if the person controlling it is not Wang Tao, but someone else?

The level and mental power of other people are not as good as Wang Tao, so what will be the effect of manipulation?

Everyone looked at Jiang Shixue expectantly.

Wang Tao took out an awakening crystal core.

"Xiaoxue, try to see if you can fuse this crystal core."

Jiang Shixue could not fuse any crystal core before, but the awakening crystal core is different from other crystal nuclei. The awakening crystal core itself has no attributes. After fusion, it simply increases the awakening energy by 100. Now that Jiang Shixue has awakened and has awakening energy, she should be able to use the awakening crystal core to replenish energy, right?

"Huh? I can fuse!"

After Jiang Shixue tried it, her eyes suddenly widened.

It was actually able to fuse, and she felt that her awakening energy was at its fullest!

A smile suddenly appeared on Wang Tao's face. If Jiang Shixue could not fuse the awakening crystal core, and if she wanted to replenish Jiang Shixue's energy, she might have to use the awakening energy beads and wait for time to recover, which would be much less efficient. Fortunately, Jiang Shixue can also fuse.

Wang Tao took out several other crystal nuclei with special powers and asked Jiang Shixue to try them, but the other crystal nuclei could no longer be fused.

Although he had already guessed this result, Wang Tao was still a little disappointed. If Jiang Shixue could fuse other crystal nuclei, her combat effectiveness would at least be improved to another level!

Of course, she is not bad now.

Wang Tao took out a lot of awakening crystal nuclei for Jiang Shixue to synthesize, and also asked her to increase the upper limit of awakening energy.

Wang Tao felt that 100 awakening energy was not enough. He could only release one awakening. For Jiang Shixue, it might only be one second. This was too short. At least 500 energy was needed to be considered adequate.

After a while, Jiang Shixue's energy limit reached 500.

"Brother, I feel like my awakening is stronger..."

Jiang Shixue looked at Wang Tao with bright eyes.

"Stop harming me, go and try to control other people!"

Wang Tao smiled and rubbed Jiang Shixue's hair.

"All right……"

Jiang Shixue looked around. Everyone was nervous and looking forward to it.

So, Jiang Shixue randomly selected a lucky person - Yang Changhong.

Then everyone was shocked to find that Jiang Shixue was completely different from Wang Tao when she controlled Yang Changhong.

When she controlled Wang Tao, she could only control him for one second.

But when controlling Yang Changhong, he can control her for five seconds!

In these five seconds, Jiang Shixue's controller Yang Changhong did a lot of things, including spinning in circles, posing, and giving Wang Tao a bite... She even hit Wang Tao with an iron bar! At first glance, it looks like the kind to kill someone!

Everyone's hair stood on end watching this.

They were still saying before that Jiang Shixue's awakening to control other people should be very effective. Now it seems that it is indeed the case!

Yang Changhong had no or no way to resist.

"ah?"

When Yang Changhong woke up, she was still a little confused when she saw that she was holding an iron rod in her hand and was caught by Wang Tao.

"What did I just do?"

She couldn't remember what happened in those five seconds at all.

Wang Tao took the iron rod from Yang Changhong's hand.

"You were just controlled by Xiaoxue."

"But...but I don't feel anything..."

Yang Changhong frowned and thought carefully, but there was really nothing in his mind.

"It's okay if you don't feel anything. Even I don't feel anything!"

Wang Tao smiled and patted Yang Changhong on the shoulder.

Jiang Shixue explained loudly at this time:

"When I controlled Sister Changhong, I could feel a trace of resistance from her. Especially when I asked Sister Changhong to attack my brother, Sister Changhong resisted very fiercely. But Sister Changhong's mental strength is much different from mine. This kind of fierceness My resistance basically had no effect on me, so Sister Changhong was controlled by me..."

Yang Changhong suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It turns out that I resisted, but I never resisted..."

Wang Tao smiled and held Yang Changhong's hand, and then asked Jiang Shixue to continue testing a few more times.

After spending some more crystal nuclei, Wang Tao had a rough idea of ​​the awakening of this [Puppet].

When Jiang Shixue dealt with Wang Tao, Lan Yulian and He Jijun of the same level, she could control them, but the control time was different.

She can control Wang Tao for one second, He Jijun for one and a half seconds, and Lan Yulian for two seconds.

This control time should be related to the mental strength of Wang Tao and others. Wang Tao has the highest mental power, followed by He Jijun and Lan Yulian the lowest, so the time Jiang Shixue controls them also increases in sequence.

Even though it only lasts for one or two seconds, it doesn't feel like much. But in actual combat, one second is enough to affect the situation of the battle.

Then Jiang Shixue discovered an easier control method. She controlled Wang Tao to do something that Wang Tao didn't want to do. Wang Tao would instinctively resist, and her successful control rate would be much lower. But it would be much easier if she just let Wang Tao be stunned for a second!

This is a very good control method, and it feels like it can be used specifically to deal with people with high mental power like Wang Tao. After all, in combat, being dazed can be fatal.

As for controlling the third-level Ding Yuqin and the others, it can only be said that this awakening fits its name - puppets on strings.

Everyone will be controlled by her for five to ten seconds.

Within these five to ten seconds, the person being controlled was like a real puppet on strings, at the mercy of Jiang Shixue. And after the control ends, they will not remember the memory of being controlled, and it feels like all their senses have been blocked...

It can be said that people below the fourth level are controlled by Jiang Shixue. If Jiang Shixue has malicious intentions, then they can basically be declared dead. After all, you can do a lot in just a few seconds.

As for the distance of this control... it cannot be too far away from Jiang Shixue, probably thirty meters at most. This is a small limitation, but it still does not affect the power of [Puppet]'s awakening!

While several people were still studying Jiang Shixue's awakening, they heard a "woof" sound and Lightning woke up.
