Underworld Retrograde

Chapter 26 Funeral

The handler who arrived at the scene first was wearing a well-dressed suit and had a well-groomed hairstyle. He seemed to be a white-collar worker in a company.

He was a senior handler who had awakened many times. After hearing the alarm, he rushed to the scene immediately.

Faster than Li Yelai and Xinghuo.

But now, he stood numbly and calmly on the side of the road, adjusting his suit, as if he was going to attend a funeral.

Then, he looked at Xinghuo in the car and invited him: "Go, Xinghuo, come with me to see him off."

"Don't worry, this is his last words in the communicator. The general meaning is that if there is any accident, you will see him off. He also hopes that some mysterious materials can be kept in his soul well to make you a psychic weapon." The handler spoke calmly, as if he was just asking Xinghuo to have a meal.

Xinghuo's face was very ugly, and his body was frozen for a while.

He reached out to open the car door, but failed.

After successfully grabbing the handle of the car again, Xinghuo gritted his teeth and pushed the door open.

"How could he really do that? He was fine yesterday, why did he suddenly lose control?" Xinghuo still couldn't believe it.

Yesterday, he had a phone call with 'Motor', who was enthusiastic and generous, and encouraged Xinghuo not to be anxious and not to be competitive.

Why is he distorted now?

"The reason is unknown, and this is something we will investigate later." The handler said calmly: "Now, let me send him off. Xinghuo, this is the road you have to take. It is the responsibility of every official handler!"

Psykers are at risk of distortion and loss of control.

In two cases, the probability of a psychic losing control will increase sharply.

The first is when they are promoted and break through.

Especially for highly awakened psychics.

Because the more times a psychic awakens, the larger the soul well of the psychic, and the greater the connection with the virtual world. Its own projection in the virtual world will also become larger.

Therefore, it will be affected by the power of the larger virtual world, and even attract the attention of the creatures in the virtual world.

Under the infiltration of the power of the virtual world or the malicious induction of the creatures of the virtual world, the psychic may be distorted and out of control, and finally become a monster that they all hate.

Therefore, when breaking through, psychics must be very careful, and if possible, they will arrange teammates to protect and assist to prevent distortion and loss of control.

This also awakened Li Yelai. Why did Cheese say that he was very happy to brag to himself after completing the breakthrough three days ago.

She successfully broke through and was considered to have walked through the gates of hell.

The second situation of losing control.

It is because of some reasons that the control of psychic power is completely lost.

Psychic power is a double-edged sword. When psychics master it, it is naturally invincible.

But when psychic power begins to be out of control, it will become a nightmare that drags psychics into the abyss.

There are many causes for this, which may be emotions or knots, causing a certain emptiness in the heart of psychics, which is taken advantage of by psychic power. Thus causing psychics to lose control.

There was a wild psychic who performed evil rituals crazily in order to revive his child. After repeated failures, he became mentally ill and finally twisted.

The reason why the headquarters asked Li Yelai to contact the doll more was that they were worried that years of loneliness would overwhelm the doll and make her twisted and out of control.

But this "Motor" was not so lucky.

He was out of control after all.

From a handler to a victim, from a law enforcer who protected the people, he became a monster that had to be cleaned up immediately.

But he also made preparations. He even informed the contact person on the other end in advance through the communicator and wrote down his will.

He hoped that the younger generation he brought out, that is, "Xinghuo", could clean him up.

This was the last kindness left by the senior "Motor". In his expectation, Xinghuo would grow up and get rewarded with merit points. If he was lucky, he could even leave him a psychic weapon.

But Xinghuo almost collapsed. He was under great psychological pressure for him to kill his good buddy.

Faced with the invitation of the handler, Xinghuo stopped.

Li Yelai could understand his feelings. If Yang Chen and Cheese suddenly lost control.

Li Yelai sighed.

Ma Da and Xinghuo had known each other for a long time. They were friends before Xinghuo became a psychic. Ma Da was the one who led Xinghuo into the processing department.

Now they have to fight with swords. This is the greatest sorrow.

"But this is one of the responsibilities of the handler." The handler still said in a calm tone: "If your teammate loses control, what you have to do is to end his pain."

Then, the handler looked at Li Yelai: "You are Ye Jiang, right? As a member of the champion team, you will know what feats your captain has done for his teammates in the future."

Feats, teammates.

The former champion team, at its peak, frightened countless human enemies. It is said that there were rumors that it overwhelmed all the members of the processing department of other giant cities.

But at a certain moment, it suddenly became lonely and eventually became the current team.

Is the loneliness of the champion team related to the loss of control and distortion?

Li Yelai's heart jumped and he did not continue to ask. He suddenly didn't want to know the truth anymore.

But Xinghuo was still hesitant.

At this time, an inhuman roar came from the room upstairs.

"He's going to move. We can't wait any longer." The handler looked at Xinghuo with regret: "I'm going to get rid of him."

He is very strong, and it doesn't take much time to deal with the twisted Ma Da. He waited until now just for Ma Da's last wish.

"No, I'll do it. I'll do it." Xinghuo's eyes were red, and he responded with gritted teeth.

He picked up a glove, which was a weapon he customized from the equipment department of the branch.

It looks like an elegant cloth glove, but it can produce sparks or flames by rubbing and snapping fingers.

Combined with the flame control of the zeroing path, Xinghuo's ability is released. Just snap your fingers and rub your palms to release the flame directly.

This is much more useful than Li Yelai's jet axe, and it is also easy to hide.

There is no way, who told him that the zeroing path ability is awesome.

Xinghuo put on the gloves with red eyes, but said calmly: "Ma Da is a second awakening psychic, Ye Jiang, can you help me hold the line?"

He knew Ma Da's strength, and he might not be able to "send" Ma Da a way by himself.

"Of course!" Li Yelai responded with a heavy heart.

Then he held the big black umbrella and confirmed the summoning silver bell hidden in his pocket. With his psychic weapons and the help of the double-blade knight, together with Xinghuo, he should be able to fulfill Mada's last wish.

After that, Li Yelai glanced at the handler.

"Go ahead. I won't do anything unless it's absolutely necessary." The handler smiled an ugly smile and responded, "Be careful. Mada is a second-awakened psychic of the Universal Path. His first ability is the virtual beast language, which can control animals and even extraordinary creatures. His second ability is the mimic wolf roar, which is a sonic attack."

Li Yelai and Xinghuo nodded, and then, at the same time, they used air steps and jumped directly into the third-floor balcony of the residential building.

After entering the balcony, Li Yelai found that something was wrong with this room. There were many iron fences welded in the room that should have been the master bedroom, and chains were hanging from the ceiling. The room was like a prison.

And the figure in police uniform, with his back to the two of them, facing the corner, with his hands on the wall, let out an inhuman roar.

"Old Ma, are you okay? Let's go back and eat barbecue." Xinghuo whispered with some expectation. He still hoped that this was a misunderstanding, or that Mada could still be saved.

The figure paused after hearing this and slowly turned back.

He showed a horrified and distorted face, with bulging jaws and face, like some canine. But there was no fur, only flesh and bones growing rapidly from under the skin, and blood dripping from sharp fangs. Not only that, his limbs had also been twisted, reversed and extended, and sharp claws had grown on his fingers.

"Hehe." Mada made a hoarse sound. He turned his body towards Xinghuo, arched his body, and pressed his extended arms to the ground.

Obviously, he entered a certain attacking posture.

"You guy. Why..." Xinghuo, who was completely desperate in his heart, shook his head painfully, and then snapped his fingers violently. Sparks flickered between his fingers.

Then, the fire started!

The fanatical flames instantly ignited the entire room, and Mada was startled by the flames and screamed in shock. He rushed out of the room at a very fast speed.

Hearing his friend's wailing, Xinghuo's eyes were red and tears were already streaming down his face.

His hands did not stop, waving to extinguish the flames in the room and chasing after him.

He snapped his fingers again at Motor who was running up the stairs.

Motor, whose whole body was wrapped in flames, screamed and rolled down the stairs.

But at the moment of getting up, he opened his mouth and let out a deafening wolf howl.

The wolf howl echoed in the corridor, and Xinghuo felt that his brain was hit by a hammer, and he was actually dazed for a while, and his vision was blurred for a moment.

This is the mimic wolf howl of the Universal Path!

When Xinghuo's eyes recovered, Motor had already rushed in front of him.

The sharp claws had already swung down and grabbed Xinghuo's psychic barrier heavily.

As the claws slid down, a ripple of air appeared in front of Xinghuo, and it actually tore Xinghuo's barrier apart!

The other claw pierced out instantly before the barrier recovered, as if it would rip Xinghuo open in the next second.

Xinghuo was shocked, and while leaning back suddenly, he snapped his fingers again.

The power of the flame burst at this distance was the greatest! It can consume the opponent's psychic barrier to the greatest extent, and even directly ignite the opponent's body.

However, it's too late!

The distance between the two sides is too close!

This is the weakness of the zero path. The power of the ability is the strongest among all the paths in the same awakening progress.

But the physical strength is too weak compared to other paths.

After being approached, you can only rely on the psychic barrier to resist the attack.

When the psychic barrier is also torn apart, it depends on your own reaction.

"Hurry up!" Xinghuo shouted in his heart.

However, at the moment when Motor stabbed out the second claw, a faster cold light flashed.

Motor himself retreated a few steps, allowing Xinghuo to avoid the fatal blow.

That long knife was a long knife that flew out from behind Xinghuo!

The blade directly pierced Motor's shoulder and nailed Motor to the wall.

Motor raised his ferocious face and saw the sudden attacker.

It was Li Yelai who followed Xinghuo!

The long knife he threw saved Xinghuo, this is the Overlord Throwing Halberd!

It is also Li Yelai's only long-range attack method at present.

Using psychic skills, he can apply psychic energy to the weapon within a certain distance to neutralize the opponent's psychic barrier.

In order to achieve a surprising victory.

But Ma Da, who was nailed to the wall, did not draw his sword and flee, but looked at Li Yelai, and a smile appeared on his ferocious face.

"Thank you..." He seemed to smile and thanked in a low voice.

Li Yelai's face was moved, but he sighed: "Goodbye."

Li Yelai did not continue to attack, nor did he summon the double-blade knight.

Because, in the next moment, the scorching flames covered all the sounds.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Xinghuo snapped his fingers continuously, and flames rushed to Ma Da, who could not move, until the burning Ma Da's body fell off the long sword and no longer responded.

Xinghuo stopped attacking in despair and stared at Ma Da's body in a daze.

He knelt down on his knees, looked at Ma Da's bones, and fell into a deathly silence.

In silence, Li Yelai stepped forward and drew out the scarlet long sword. After patting Xinghuo on the shoulder, he turned around and left without saying a word.

When Li Yelai walked back to the stairs on the first floor, he heard the heart-wrenching cry from above.

Li Yelai paused, and finally, he left the residential building with an expressionless face.

Outside the residential building, more than a dozen psychics had already arrived.

They looked at the residential building in silence, seeing off their teammates. Then, several psychics with grief and anger rushed into the building.

They didn't believe that the old team member's motor would suddenly twist, there must be a reason.

They wanted to find the reason, find the possible culprit!

This had nothing to do with Li Yelai, he saw Cheese who had just arrived.

She sat in her new car, her arm resting on the window to support her chin, staring blankly at the direction of the residential building.

The firelight illuminated her face, which looked blurry and beautiful. Like a dream.

Seeing Li Yelai coming, Cheese whispered: "If, one day, I also become twisted and out of control. Then I'll ask you to liberate me. I'm afraid of pain, so I'll do it more quickly."

Li Yelai continued to remain silent, and Cheese reached out and poked his chest and chuckled: "Don't be reluctant when the time comes, that will be the greatest relief for me."

"Don't be such a pessimist." Li Yelai responded in a low voice.

The scene just now had a great impact on him. He seemed to understand the burden of the handler for the first time.

Resist disasters, suppress taboos, watch over the people, and in the end, draw the sword against his former teammates

Can I really fulfill these responsibilities? Am I worthy?

No, what else do I have to doubt now?

Isn't this the path I chose?

Li Yelai exhaled slowly, and the change in his state of mind triggered some kind of change.

It made several nearby handlers look at Li Yelai.

And Li Yelai felt that there was a new change in his soul well.

It is expanding, it is developing.

So, Li Yelai looked at Cheese and said softly.

"I am going to be promoted"
