Chapter 70 Shortcut

The joy of gaining new abilities did not last long. Chen Ke immediately realized that if other killers also had this life countdown, it was very likely that the other party also had the same ability as himself.

Although he was not sure whether this strange ability was instilled by the Si Consortium, it would not hurt to be cautious. What exactly is the meaning of this life shackle? He still needs to find Pan Jiya to find out.

He took out his mobile phone and wanted to record his current abilities in a notebook for future reference and research, but after hesitating for a while, he still closed the notebook.

In the Internet age, all the information you leave on the Internet can be easily obtained by service providers. Your shopping records and payment information will expose your income and hobbies, and your travel records and social records will also expose your social network and living environment.

Large companies will decide what ads to push to you and what level of service to provide you based on this data. And based on your income, social status, and age, the hospital will even decide whether your cancer is worth treating and how long it will take for your organ transplant surgery.

The data you leave behind is more valuable than you as a person. This is the essence of the Internet age.

Even when your phone is connected to the Internet, the front camera will be inexplicably turned on so that the big consortiums can obtain your iris and face data.

Chen Ke still remembers that in the world he lived in, some manufacturers launched mobile phones with lifting structure front cameras in order to pursue screen-to-body ratio. When some apps privately turned on the front camera, users would find that their cameras would pop up automatically. That was the first time the public found that these companies would arbitrarily start their mobile phone cameras to record information.

In addition to the camera, there are also recorders, microphones... Any sensor on the phone that can obtain external information will be called up for no reason. Maybe you just joked with your friends that you want to change your phone, and when you open the webpage next time, you will be pushed an advertisement for a new phone. Maybe your daughter complains to you about toothache, and you will see advertisements for tooth extraction from time to time. This is the practice of capitalism. In order to make money from you, your privacy is violated without limit.

This world is still in 2009, not 2019, and the mobile network is not that developed, but it is necessary to nip the problem in the bud. What's more, the things he wants to record are too bizarre. He doesn't want anyone to know. It seems that it is more reliable to bring a small notebook and a ballpoint pen.

He now has an extraordinary skill, and with the life engine, he can make the originally weak skill play a huge role. If he encounters other psychics, he has the confidence to compete head-on.

The only thing that is unclear is what determines the power of those psychics when they activate their skills? Simply improve the skill effect through holy objects like black ring candlesticks? Or do they have other ways to enhance the skill effect themselves?

It is still unknown now, but Chen Ke believes that he will find the answer.

He picked up the blown fire-starting broadsword and was about to return from the small passage. At this time, he saw a strange thing from the corner of his eye.

From the round hole above the cave, a beam of light flashed a black shadow, as if something was looking down from above.

What is above this round hole? Chen Ke looked up curiously.

At the entrance of the cave, a figure was curiously looking down, but the round hole was still too high from the bottom of the cave, and it might be pitch black when the person looked down.

Chen Ke suddenly thought of something and shouted up: "Parker?"

"Huh? Who?!" The guy above was stunned for a moment, and actually answered.

"Parker, is that you?" Chen Ke raised his voice and asked.

"Chen Ke?! What are you doing in the well?" It was Parker! His tone was full of surprise.

"It's a long story, but I found a safe place, can you come over?" Chen Ke shouted.

"Of course, I just found that the range of activities of those ash zombies is getting larger and larger, and I was looking for you! The safe place you mentioned, isn't it in this well?" Parker said with some excitement and some doubts.

"Of course not, I found a church, I came here from the path in the church kitchen, you go along that road, there will be a slope that can go down..." Chen Ke told Parker the way to the church.

"It sounds like a long way. Are you sure it's safe?" Parker asked.

"At least I didn't run into anything strange. It's just a little dark. It will take about half an hour to get to the church." Chen Ke said.

"Is this well...deep? I can't see you. It's too dark. If it's not deep enough, I can jump down." Parker seemed impatient and didn't want to walk that far.

"No, no! I estimate that this height is six floors...you will die if you jump down..." Chen Ke hurriedly stopped him.

"Is there a ladder down there?" Parker was a little unwilling.

"Don't joke. There is only an underground river down there, and it's not deep enough. You will die if you jump into the river. Just run away!" Chen Ke said.

"Okay... okay... wait for me, Chen Ke. I'll go to the church right away." Parker said and left the well.

It turned out that the hole was the abandoned well that Chen Ke had seen in the ruins of the village. If there was a rope or something, it could really be used as a shortcut to the church's nave.

Chen Ke returned to the kitchen from the passage, and then came to the hall outside. He saw a downward staircase on each side of the end of the hall. One was a stone corridor going down along the outside of the mountain wall, and the other led to the lower level of the church building.

Chen Ke did not choose to continue exploring. He decided to go back to the church hall to meet Parker and explain the situation to him. Parker must not have seen the discouraged brother yet.

Return to the church hall along the same route.

Parker sat on the bench in the first row, near the goddess statue, and was looking at the ceiling and sighing boredly. The discouraged brother also maintained the posture as if he had seen through everything, sitting at the entrance of the passage.

Seeing Chen Ke come in, Parker was a little excited. After all, he was the only familiar person he could see in this big void. Chen Ke came to Parker and put the two swords on the bench on the side.

Parker glanced at the discouraged brother, and then whispered: "Chen Ke, what's going on with the guy at the door...?"

"I don't know, don't provoke him." Chen Ke shook his head.

"What does he mean by loop? Is he also from the Administration?" Parker was still a little curious.

Chen Ke was stunned. It seemed that the discouraged brother was a repeater. He said almost the same thing to everyone he met. And for some reason, Chen Ke always felt that he saw some contradictions in the discouraged brother, but he couldn't tell where the contradiction was.
