Chapter 249 Shaking

There was no electricity in the cabin. Shreli took out a candle from the cabinet and lit it, then sat at the head of the bed and prepared to take off her clothes. Chen Ke threw a blanket from the small sofa on Shreli.

"It's 2 o'clock in the morning. Hurry up and take a nap." Chen Ke said, turning and walking out the door. He wanted to be alone.

"Then you open the door." Shreli said.

She put on her clothes again, put the blanket on her shoulders, and lay on the bed.

Chen Ke pushed the wooden door open, and sat on the small steps, looking at the lake under the moonlight.

Shreli looked at Chen Ke's back and fell asleep slowly.

The surroundings became quiet again, leaving only the chirping of insects. The night wind gently supported the lake, creating ripples and breaking the reflection of the moon.

Chen Ke still had 3 hours left to live, but he was not panicking at all.

He didn't want to do anything now.

Chen Ke was not tired at all. He had unlimited physical strength and energy, but now, he just didn't want to do anything. He just wanted to sit here and be in a daze.

Perhaps most people don't realize that in addition to energy and physical strength, emotions are also a kind of energy that will be exhausted, and the speed of emotional consumption is strongly related to many other factors.

No one has unlimited physical strength and energy like Chen Ke, so many people mistakenly believe that as long as they don't get tired, they can continue to do one thing forever.

However, this is not the case.

Imagine those mechanical and repetitive jobs, such as factory assembly lines. It doesn't consume much energy and physical strength, but no one can tolerate such machine-like work.

Or think about it again, let a person do a job that he doesn't like or even has emotional resistance, how long can he persist?

Of course, there are not so many choices in this world. Many people have no choice to make a living, so over time, they just get by, start to slack off, and start not wanting to go to work. Going to work is like going to the grave.

The great consumption of emotions will also accelerate the decline of energy and physical strength, and the loss of physical and mental will also slow down the recovery of emotions.

This is also why modern young people are becoming more and more depressed and more and more Buddhist.

Chen Ke is in this situation now.

He was an ordinary office worker before he crossed over. The things he encountered in the twenty-four years combined were not as many and bizarre as those he encountered in the half month after crossing over.

He was not a natural killer, and he had never thought about being a hero. He was just an ordinary person.

But fate played a joke on him, making him suddenly have killing skills that he dared not even think about, and a strange life countdown.

Under the threat of the life countdown, Chen Ke had to face things he didn't want to face at all, and began to kill people and monsters continuously.

Chen Ke was emotionally resistant to these things, but under the threat of death, he had to do it. And the unlimited physical strength and energy allowed him to hold on for so long without collapsing.

However, what is coming will still come, and people's emotions will always fluctuate.

Now with more than 40 deformed souls in hand, the 3-hour life countdown seems to no longer be a threat.

Chen Ke suddenly cooled down.

It can be said that he is now in a state of PTSD. Of course, this is not accurate, but his mental state is indeed completely different from before.

Chen Ke sat on the small steps and examined what he had done, the people he knew, and his body.

It was as if Chen Ke had become the ordinary employee who worked in a small company with a mortgage. His soul shed its shell and rose to the air, looking at the skin called "Lin Mo" below.

Chen Ke took out a soul that could increase his life limit by 3 hours. When he wanted to crush it, he thought about it and took it back.

After crushing this soul, he would have a whole day of life, and it would immediately fill up his life limit.

But it would be a bit of a loss to crush it now, there are still three hours... Chen Ke thinks it's better to wait until there are only half an hour or ten minutes left before crushing it.

He looked behind him and saw that Shreli was already snoring and sleeping. Before, she was always involved in strange things or had to run around looking for fights. Now, for Chen Ke, it was a rare leisure time.

For the first time, Chen Ke began to examine his life countdown... Although this thing is deadly, it turns Chen Ke into a human perpetual motion machine.

Moreover, as long as he dies with 30% of the remaining life limit, he can be resurrected on the spot. This ability is simply abnormal.

Furthermore, judging from the rules of increasing lifespan, as long as there is a soul, one can increase the upper limit of one's lifespan.

Is there a limit to the increase in the upper limit of lifespan? Chen Ke couldn't help but imagine that if there is no limit, wouldn't it be a disguised immortality?

In addition, he can use the effect of extraordinary skills to increase lifespan...

Imagine, if Chen Ke's lifespan can reach a few years, hundreds of years, thousands of years... millions of years..., using a million-year lifespan crystal gun... I'm afraid it can burst a star...

"Infinite... This is... Infinite..." Chen Ke was a little excited. He had never thought about this before.

He is very likely to be infinite...

Infinite growth space, infinite lifespan...

Am I a god?

Thinking about it this way, the current upper limit of 21 hours of lifespan is not so scary...

It's like playing a game to upgrade, your lifespan is the level!

Chen Ke counted 10 hours as the first level, corresponding to the psychic level, he should now be the level of a second-level psychic, and his psychic level is estimated to be similar to Diana.

But in addition to the psychic ability, Chen Ke also has a unique series of murderous aura!

As a second-level psychic, he can use the life-enhancing extraordinary skill to exert a power far beyond that of psychics of the same level.

Chen Ke suddenly felt relieved, as if he had opened a knot in his heart, and some of the mental shackles on his body collapsed.

Pressure turned into motivation.

The life countdown is Chen Ke's blessing!

Inspired by this sudden joy and hope, Chen Ke felt very excited. The feeling was like winning the lottery, exciting and delightful.

"Fakeyes!" He stood up excitedly and cheered softly, with a smile on his face as if he had picked up a box of money, and clenched his fists and waved them in the air for a while.

Then there was a sense of emptiness.

Chen Ke sat down again. Now, he no longer thought that this countdown was a shackle planted by the S Consortium, but this thing would definitely not be groundless.

All good things must be exchanged with chips, and all power also needs to be paid for.

Chen Ke fell into a new round of higher-level confusion.

God will give a man a great responsibility, but he must first take his life. Now, Chen Ke is still alive and he has passed the test, but what does this mean?

It's not that he wants to take on a certain mission. On the contrary, Chen Ke is worried that if he enjoys this power and does not take the corresponding responsibility, will there be any punishment?

Before, he always wanted to contact the extraordinary level, because that would find a way to become an ordinary person, or even a way to go back...

Ordinary people will die one day. In the original world, he was just a poor office worker tied up by a mortgage.

And here, Chen Ke has the opportunity to become eternal! And he can make a lot of money.

He is not so interested in killing people and fighting monsters, but with his current strength, it is not difficult to defeat some ordinary monsters. It is also good to maintain it like this and live a rich and free life...

Maybe he can find a way to travel back and bring his parents and friends over...

Thinking of this, Chen Ke suddenly lost the motivation to move forward. In the past half month, all his motivations for behavior are nothing more than saving his life and finding a way to cancel the countdown.

Now, he has no motivation.

"Heinard is right. Go to Xiaoyao City to buy a big house, enjoy life with Lucina, and kill monsters to prolong life as work... Let the consortium, the Great Void, Asra and the like go to hell... I am just an ordinary office worker... Why should I help others rob and kill people..." Chen Ke whispered to himself.

He took out his mobile phone and found the contact information of Pihom, Lester and others. His thumb was hovering over the delete option, and he hesitated.

"Swoosh..."

A strange and familiar sound of breaking through the air came from a distance. The sound made him feel anxious and uneasy. Chen Ke remembered that he had heard this sound in the news.

It was the sound of a rocket launch, and it was very far away.

He looked to the right, chasing the source of the sound, but saw an orange-yellow object flying rapidly at an altitude of less than 2 meters above the ground.

His brain suddenly went blank, followed by the body's instinctive reaction. Chen Ke fell forward and lay on the ground.

"Pujika!"

Half a second later, a violent explosion sounded, and orange-red fireworks rolled onto Chen Ke along with high-temperature air waves, and the sky was immediately lit up with flames.

He got up from the ground and saw that the Jaguar more than 20 meters away from him was blown into a pile of burning rotten iron.

In this chapter, Chen Ke's psychology changed. Some people may think that this change is a bit low, but I think that after an ordinary person has experienced these things, he will have similar thoughts to a certain extent. After all, it is everyone's natural instinct to escape from responsibilities that they cannot bear, and the growth of a character also needs an arc. It will have a downward and upward trend. It takes a process to go from a loser to a hero. This arc should not only be in the power system, but also include the psychological level. Chen Ke needs this psychological downward arc to make the subsequent rise and responsibility more impactful and more natural.
