Chapter 13 Be Careful of People Holding Umbrellas on Sunny Days
In the evening, when Li Yelai came to the Dongcheng branch after get off work, the iron guard guarding the door greeted him.
"Ye Jiang, I heard about it. He stepped seven times in the air and stabbed to death the virtual creature with one knife. Well done!" Tie Wei stretched out his heavy metal hand and patted Li Yelai on the shoulder: "After all, he is a member of Xiao Yang Chen's team. , very much like the first team back then!”
Li Yelai's shoulder hurt when he was patted by the iron guard. The iron guard's surname was Chen, and the other one's surname was Wang.
They are all border guards guarding the Dongcheng branch. At the same time, he is also a veteran of many battles.
In the past few days, after meeting Li Yelai several times, he was already familiar with him.
Li Yelai covered his shoulders and said, "What was the style of the first team back then? What was it like?"
Li Yelai was very curious about his team.
On the forum, Li Yelai found traces of the first team in Border City No. 3 to which he belonged, known as the championship team.
Its performance was extremely impressive, suppressing Class B forbidden objects, wiping out the Ember Church branch, and even resisting an invasion of the Disaster Restricted Area.
It can be said that it is in the limelight, but now there is no movement. It seems that some posts on the forum have been deleted. Of course, it's also possible that this level of intelligence won't be posted on the forum.
As for the senior of the first team, Cheese refused to say anything.
After the Iron Guard was silent for a moment, a metallic voice came from the helmet and responded: "Human beings will eventually pass away, and only faith can be passed down. Don't ask any more questions. You will know when it's time to know."
Li Yelai's heart moved.
Gone? Could it be that the former champion first team lost its glory because it suffered too many casualties?
Tie Wei then said: "Go, little Yang Chen has arrived a long time ago. If you go now, you can probably see a good show."
Good show? Li Yelai didn't ask any questions and walked directly into the branch after saying goodbye.
And quickly found the training room where Yang Chen was.
Because there were many handlers and clerical staff gathered there, which was very conspicuous. Cheese was among them. When he saw Li Ye coming, he waved.
Li Yelai squeezed through the crowd and came to Cheese. Through the protective glass on the training ground, he saw the shocking scene on the field.
Yang Chen was wearing armor, holding a Fangtian painted halberd, and carrying five heavy throwing spears on his back. He strode forward on the field, and every time he swung his halberd, the air roared with sound.
Opposite him, there was a man wearing an axe-shaped helmet and dark brown plate armor. He had a thick sword in one hand and a large round shield in the other. Slash with your sword!
The two sides fought hard, and the ground beneath their feet was shattered. The collision of weapons caused the airflow on the field to explode again and again. If it were not for the protective glass, it is estimated that the onlookers would have been affected.
The power they unleashed shocked even Li Yelai, who had seen Xiang Yu's illusion.
I didn't expect that Yang Chen's strength was so terrifying, and he still used Fang Tian's painted halberd.
Nowadays, Li Yelai can be regarded as half-savvy in marksmanship. He can clearly feel that even if he has completely mastered the eighteen-handed technique, he may not be able to compete with him with his skills.
"This is..." Li Yelai asked.
"The two captains are competing in martial arts, without using their abilities." Cheese responded: "The one facing our captain is the melting pot, the captain of the third team."
The next moment, I saw the plate-armored knight instantly swinging his large shield and turning his halberd, and then slashed with the long sword in his right hand.
But Yang Chen reacted very quickly. The halberd that was blocked quickly turned around, and at the same time, he twisted his body and stabbed back, returning the carbine with one hand.
It hit the sword hard, and even the plate-armored knight was knocked back several meters. His legs left two deep marks on the ground before he could barely stand.
Before the plate armor knight could attack again, Yang Chen took off the throwing spear behind him and threw it out instantly with a momentum that made everyone blush, and even made a sonic explosion!
The plate knight could only raise his large shield to block.
"Bang" followed by a muffled sound, the plate-armored knight tried his best to deflect the spear, and the spear hit the ground directly, sinking half of it into the ground.
But right behind it is the second one, and then the third and fourth throwing spears!
The plate armor knight cursed and had only time to raise his shield to resist, but was knocked back several meters again.
The third and fourth throwing spears completely destroyed the plate armor knight's combat power, and he could no longer even hold his shield.
All I could do was shout: "Stop, stop, stop, lose!"
Yang Chen put down the fifth throwing spear and said with a smile: "You are the path of all things. You are already very strong without using your abilities to fight with my real martial arts."
"You haven't resisted for five minutes. You played me before you joined me?" Furnace couldn't lift it with his left hand, so he could only drop the long sword and take off his helmet with his right hand. He looked at Yang Chen and said, "Okay, then according to the bet Yes, I will give you the ingredients for the Vientiane Potion. It’s really a bargain for you, it’s worth hundreds of merit points!”
"Thank you so much, hahahahaha." Yang Chen smiled and clasped his fists: "I will give it to you next time I get good materials."
Later, Yang Chen saw Li Yelai and Cheese in the crowd, smiled and waved.
A few minutes later, the three of them arrived in an office, which was the exclusive office area for the first team.
Yang Chen took off his armor and put his Fangtian Painted Halberd aside. To Li Ye: "You did a good job in the last mission. But it is too dangerous to use air stepping before the training is completed."
Others don't know it yet, but Yang Chen, who is the captain of the first team, knows it.
Li Yelai didn't even do any training and just started pedaling. Anyone else would have died from the fall.
Li Yelai explained: "The situation was urgent at the time, so I didn't think much about it. I just did it if I felt I could do it."
"I know, I'm not blaming you." Yang Chen responded: "Your strength and talent are worthy of recognition. Your courage and determination are even more worthy of praise! You could have escaped from there, but you chose to stay. If it hadn't been for you If you have the courage to fight back, the most you can do is replace that monster."
Cheese nodded in agreement, Li Yelai indeed saved her life.
"You can kill victims and virtual creatures in the first awakening. It is indeed rare to be powerful, but you can't be arrogant or take such risks. I have seen too many talented psykers capsize in the gutter. On the contrary, It’s important to be cautious despite my poor talent!”
‘If I hadn’t seen the battle just now, I would almost believe it. ’ Li Yelai complained in his heart.
Yang Chen picked up a box, opened it, and took out a scarlet long knife.
It was Li Yelai's psychic weapon.
"I heard that you are going to take on a private job. I have no objection to this. After all, it is your private matter. The processing department does not refuse or advocate this, so it will not arrange support and logistics for you. So, Just in case, you should bring this psychic weapon with you," Yang Chen responded.
"It's just a private job, do you need this kind of weapon?" Li Yelai was a little surprised. He had prepared a jet axe, which should be enough.
I heard from the detective that it was a private matter of a wealthy family, and Li Ye came there just to get some extra money as a detective's assistant.
"It's hard to say, but back then I took on a private job of tracking down stolen jewelry. As a result, I accidentally encountered a victim of the second awakening. I was beaten so hard that I ran away." Yang Chen complained: "There is always nothing wrong with being careful. "
With that said, he handed the scarlet sword to Li Yelai: "Now try the ability of this psychic weapon. And become proficient in it."
Li Yelai nodded, picked up the scarlet sword and asked, "How should I use this ability? There doesn't seem to be a button on it."
"Guide your psychic energy to connect with the weapon, and you will understand later." Cheese reminded: "Since you can master the psychic barrier and air stepping so quickly, this should not be difficult."
‘It’s actually quite difficult. ’ Li Yelai thought to himself, the reason why he was able to master the psychic barrier and air stepping in one go, and even improve his combat skills quickly. It was entirely because of the battlefield illusion of Xiang Yu's facial makeup that Li Yelai was immersed in the scene, which greatly accelerated his learning speed.
As for Overlord Xiang Yu, he does not have psychic weapons. It may be that psychic weapons were not yet developed at that time.
Therefore, you can only rely on your own understanding next.
Li Yelai calmed down, followed Cheese's instructions, and felt the well of his soul.
A few minutes later, I could faintly notice a force emanating from the psychic well.
That is psionics.
Humans open the well of spiritual energy and gain power from the virtual realm.
Then, Li Yelai guided spiritual energy into the weapon. Suddenly, Li Yelai felt that the weapon became an extension of his body. Become more comfortable.
"Very good, now, use the ability of psychic weapons. And pay attention to its consumption." Cheese's voice came in his ears.
Li Yelai nodded.
The next second, several eyeballs on the scarlet sword rotated.
But Cheese and Yang Chen's eyes moved slightly.
Because, Li Yelai suddenly disappeared from their sight for a few tenths of a second.
"Visual interference!" Yang Chen nodded and said: "How about consumption?"
Li Yelai felt his spiritual energy responding: "Almost five percent. Then I can only use it twenty times at most, and the spiritual energy will be exhausted."
"Normally, psychic weapons are meant to use other people's abilities. The consumption will be larger. However, this does not include the consumption of your mask and psychic barrier." Yang Chen responded: "Use your abilities now, do the math. Duration. Calculate the duration of your battle."
Li Yelai nodded, left the office and came to the spacious training room. This is done to prevent bad luck from finding an opportunity.
Then, he opened the Bawang Facebook page
An hour later, Li Yelai obtained more detailed ability data about himself.
Vientiane Facebook consumes 1% per minute
The psychic barrier triggered when encountering an attack consumes 1% to 5%, based on the barrier strength strengthened by Li Yelai himself as an example.
The visual interference caused by using a psychic weapon consumes 5%
Even if the psychic barrier is turned on under continuous attacks, Li Yelai's facial makeup can last for about half an hour.
Recovery of psychic powers generally requires the psychics to rest or meditate on their own.
But if you want to restore psychic energy during battle, this technique is very difficult and not very efficient.
After obtaining these data, Li Yelai and others began to think about how to hide their scarlet sword.
"Don't we psykers have anything like a ring?" Li Yelai asked, "Captain, how did you sneak it out?"
"After the fifth awakening of a psyker, you can throw your psionic weapons into the well of your soul and pull them out when you need them." Yang Chen responded: "You have no choice now."
"It's such a long weapon. Even if it's placed on the map of Yan Kingdom, it won't work, right?" Cheese also complained.
The three of them squatted in the corner, watching the scarlet sword forcefully. Discussing how to get Li Yelai to do the task with a long knife in a big way.
At this time, a man wearing a panda costume passed by the training room. After seeing the three of them, he came up to them.
It was 'Doll', a powerful psyker. It is said that he is the strongest handler in the Dongcheng branch.
But its terrible curse makes everyone who sees the true face of the ‘doll’ be infected with fear. The sound coming out of the ‘doll’s’ mouth is enough to make people mentally collapse.
So, I can only wear doll clothes every day, not letting the outside world see any skin, and not utter any words. Communication depends entirely on psychic skills typing, and it is said that typing is extremely fast.
Usually stay in the branch, speak intensively in forums and group chats.
This is not because he is talkative, but too lonely.
And Li Yelai suspects that his sister is similar to the curse of the ‘doll’.
The ‘doll’ is something that outsiders cannot look directly at, as if facing a flood and a beast, and is the source of fear.
And the sister, on the other hand, cannot look directly at outsiders, as if everyone is a flood and a beast.
One cannot be looked at directly, and the other cannot look directly at others. It is a curse with two extreme results.
At this time, the ‘doll’ picked up the billboard, and words appeared on it.
[What are you doing here? Take me with you! (ノ ̄▽ ̄)]
"Doll, we are discussing how to hide this thing." Cheese responded: "Do you have any ideas?"
Although there is a curse, it is difficult for people to communicate directly with the doll. But people are very friendly to the doll.
The doll was surprised at first [So big? !!!∑(Дノ)ノCan't the branch deliver it when needed? ]
Then, the panda doll, who understood the situation, immediately put his hands on his waist, and the billboard showed the words.
[Then I have an idea (^_)☆]
Half an hour later, in the old city apartment.
Li Yunyan, who was wearing pajamas and had disheveled hair, looked at Li Yelai at the door and fell into deep thought.
"Brother, are you going to set up a stall?" Li Yunyan tried to ask.
At this moment, Li Yelai was carrying a backpack and a big black umbrella. The image was really a bit weird.
Yes, this is what the doll called the idea, hiding the scarlet long knife in the parasol.
To be honest, this is indeed a method, and the small vendors on the street are indeed like this.
But Li Yelai can't always carry a big black umbrella, right?
Li Yelai complained in his heart, but there was no better way.
After returning home, he began to contact the detective.
"Detective, I'm almost ready. When will the private work be done?"
"Tomorrow, I will pick you up. Then, we can attend the dinner together." The detective responded: "By the way, the employer is a bit particular. So, I prepared a suit for you, as a gift from me."
"It may not match well." Li Yelai looked at the big black umbrella and hesitated for a while.
"Don't worry, I have measured your height and weight. It will fit you!" The detective was confident.
So, on the second day.
When he saw a tall and handsome man in a suit, standing on the side of the road with a big black umbrella.
The detective took a breath.
And his employer, an old but strong housekeeper, saw Li Yelai's dress, and his eyes flashed with surprise and horror.
He inexplicably remembered the master's instructions.
'Be careful of people holding umbrellas on sunny days! '
