Chapter 185 The Third Master
After the meeting at the Consul's Mansion, Li arrived at the highest peak of the Reach Star - the summit of Lanyue Mountain with an altitude of 13,000 meters. Here, a majestic giant building complex was under construction.
Among some of the buildings that had been built, Li easily found the target of his trip, Jacob.
The director of the think tank is sitting in his room reading a book, with a cup of his favorite black tea placed in front of his desk as usual.
"I didn't expect you to be so leisurely." Li walked to Jacob's side, pulled out a chair, sat down and said, "I'm almost too busy to kill myself. I want to saw myself with a chain sword." Broken in half."
"You just need to set the rules, and someone will naturally do the rest. After you set the rules, you don't have much to do. At this time, you only need to pay attention to whether they are within your rules." Jacob closed the book, took a sip of the black tea, and then said: "Master Captain, do you have anything to give me, this old man, who came to see me this time?"
"Well, where's Pastor Martin?"
"He, he is very serious and persistent about religious buildings such as churches, temples, and cemeteries. In fact, he always thinks that some workers are not working carefully enough, and he is also very busy during this period. He stayed at the construction site most of the day." At this point, Jacob's lips showed a smile, and the old man continued: "Once he thought that the stonemason could not carve the perfect statue of his heart. He even drove away the masons and picked up a hammer and awl to carve out a holy statue. Not to mention, Pastor Martin is really good at sculpting. By the way, do you have anything to do with Pastor Martin? "
"No, this matter has nothing to do with Martin." Li stood up, walked to the door, opened the door, and then returned to his seat. He closed his eyes and concentrated, and gave a soft drink. A wave of psychic energy rippled out. came out, covering the room.
Jacob looked around the room calmly, and then at the open door. Li's intention was obvious. The door was open because Li didn't want anyone to eavesdrop. If the fluctuations of psychic energy expanded, then A bubble-shaped barrier was formed, blocking the prying eyes of psychic energy. Jacob frowned, and then asked: "Master, what is it that requires such caution?"
"I need your help with some personal issues, and I don't want others to know," Li said. "Let's be honest, I have a daughter who is very talented in this area, even far more than me. I hope to find a teacher for her."
"'This aspect' refers to the psychic aspect?"
"Yes, you are right, he has extremely high psychic talent."
"How old is this kid?"
"Already eighteen years old."
"Strange, how did she grow up silently? You should know the meaning of the power contained in her body. She can be a savior, but before she grows into a psyker who can control her own power, she needs more She is a destroyer, a dangerous and terrifying destabilizer. If she is a psyker with a greater talent than you, her power can even easily destroy a planet." Jacob said coldly: "Even so. You should have asked me for help eighteen years ago, not now. You are extremely irresponsible, both to your daughter and to the people around her. Li, this is not like it. Things you do.”
"Oh, it's not that I want to shirk responsibility," Li sighed, "but I only learned about this matter recently, and the child's mother is not an ordinary person. She found a solution. She found a solution for the child. I hired two Eldar people as my masters. They taught the child a lot. As long as the child has reason, no one can detect that she is a psyker, so the child is safe and she can be perfect. Restrain your own strength and do not harm those around you because of your own strength.”
"Only if she has reason?"
"As long as she has reason, that's great. Anyone who loses reason may cause harm to those around them."
"But there won't be as much damage caused by psychics." Jacob put his hands together, touched his chin with his fingertips, pondered for a while, and then said: "In that case, okay, to be honest, I can't do any better. Since this child has been able to control her own abilities, she can even make people around her unaware, so what else can she worry about? She only needs to control her own power and be happy. Isn't it enough to live on? Besides, she has two teachers who are so good that it makes people jealous. It is generally impossible to teach the methods of the Eldar people to humans. I don't think my understanding of spiritual energy will be better than that of the Eldar people. Their civilization is based on the application of spiritual energy. If I can, I would also like to ask if I can also become a disciple of those two teachers. "
"They are Eldar people. They cannot impart their skills to humans without reservation. From them, my children only learned how to suppress their own abilities, but this is not a long-term solution."
"For ordinary people, this is enough." Jacob said: "Perfectly controlling her own power will certainly improve her spiritual control to a higher level, allowing her to control her own power more freely. , but this is more dangerous, you should know this, Li."
Li nodded and said calmly: "I understand."
"Do you really understand? If you really understood, you would not make such a request to me. Every time you use spiritual power, it is a dangerous gamble. A fool who uses spiritual power unscrupulously will put his own The soul is placed on the devil's table. Are all self-awakened psykers fools? No, they have far more than ordinary minds and talents, but they still do this. There is pleasure in doing it. As soon as you use your spiritual power for the first time, you will become more and more dependent on it and cannot stop. The spiritual power is so powerful that people can easily feel the power of Ao above all living beings. What other people may take months or even years to do, psychics can do it with just a lift of their fingers. How powerful is this? But it is also extremely dangerous, involving violence and absolute control. It is also addictive. This kind of control power is too great. It controls the life and death of others. It can easily extinguish the flame of life. It can decide the life and death of others with one word. This is a terrifying power. The possibility of addiction is even greater than that of drug addiction! This road can only lead to the only end, and that is until it is swallowed by the devil.”
"Or it could transcend human weakness and reach directly into the arms of the God-Emperor."
"You and I both know how difficult it is. That is the road to transcendence. Although every psychic has this goal, there are very few people in history who can achieve this. If she can, let her Isn’t it good for an ordinary person to live peacefully like this, get married and have children, and then die in bed surrounded by his children, enjoying the peace and tranquility of ordinary people? "
"It would be best if we could do this." Li sighed and said helplessly: "But the reality does not allow this to happen. I checked the child when she was not paying attention. Her The ability is too huge to be suppressed forever. Suppressing her own ability for a long time can only lead to more dangerous consequences. Her power must be vented through a channel, a safe channel that can be controlled by herself. She's been targeted."
"Targeted? Who?"
"Revolutionaries, reactionaries, those who want to do harm to the Empire, they kidnapped her not long ago, trying to make her into a dangerous psychic bomb, or a door that summons demons. Whatever they want to do, These are extremely dangerous ideas. Although I have defeated their plot, I cannot stay by my daughter's side forever. She needs the power to protect herself."
"So you want me to be another master of your daughter, to teach her how to use her psychic powers, just like using her psychic powers to harm others, and how to use her strange power to change the world."
"Yes," Li nodded and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."
"But this is not in line with the rules. A person like what you said, especially a person with particularly outstanding psychic talents, should be sent to the black ship and enter the Academy of Psykers."
"You know, that's impossible, that's my daughter."
The two of them said nothing, and the room fell into silence for a while. Both of them knew the cruel fate that those sent to the Black Ship would face. These people with psychic talents would be arrested and singled out from the human world across the galaxy, and they would be sent Board the black ship and eventually be sent to the academies of the solar system to be tested and selected. Those who fail will be sent to the earth. They will become fuel and energy. They will die, and the ones in their bodies will Psionics would become part of the Holy Emperor's great power.
And what those who pass the test face is just a cruel beginning. The learning process of psykers is not smooth sailing. It is full of cruel competition and tests that distort human nature. The only result of failure is to become fuel. Not only does that place Destroying a person's body, it also destroys a person's mind. That academy can completely change a person completely.
It is impossible for Li Ziran to send his daughter into such a terrifying institution. Not to mention entering the black ship, it means that her life is threatened, but even if she can come out of that place alive, She is no longer a simple girl. She is likely to be transformed into a simple machine, a weapon of the empire, and a puppet that has lost its soul.
