“Captain, don’t use…”
Hua Qianmei spoke as soon as she stepped forward, but she was still a step too late.
She saw the same white light appear around two identical figures. Before she could finish speaking, it spread suddenly and was about to touch her as the two beams of light collided with each other.
Hua Qianmei took a quick step back to avoid being affected. The moment she looked up, her brow furrowed even more.
Compared to her, Lou Yueren was caught in the middle, and he obviously wasn’t so lucky. The two beams of light hit him almost directly. The two forces dissipated in an instant under the counteraction with each other, leaving only the action of standing still in place. The specific situation couldn’t be seen.
Seeing that Ji Xingque was about to make another move not far away, Hua Qianmei could only raise the scythe to meet him. She intercepted the opponent while raising her voice to remind Song Xuefeng behind her, “Old Song, protect these two!”
She glanced at Lou Yueren, who was hit twice by ‘Superpower: Spiritual Authority.’ Even though she was more worried about the captain’s situation, she still prayed silently in her heart, ‘I hope he is okay.’
Everyone in Dawn knew that Chi Ting hadn’t used Spiritual Authority for a long time.
The absolutely powerful ability was too inhumane as if it had absolute power to play with people’s hearts. On the other hand, it also hid huge hidden dangers.
It was precisely in order to better control this double-edged sword that Chi Ting gradually derived another new use from this special ability, which he later named ‘help the soul find peace.’
If he could still remember the source of these beads and use them, it would be easy to deal with the situation. However, after losing his memory, Chi Ting instinctively remembered the original Spiritual Authority. Even though the NPC in front of them had obtained all of the captain’s memories, he was unable to replicate the existence of the beads. Thus, he was left with the only option of using the original superpower. No one knew whether this was a good thing or not.
Song Xuefeng’s barrier was perfectly raised the moment Hua Qianmei finished speaking. Even though the outside world was filled with bullets and gunfire, it remained peaceful inside.
The figure in the barrier didn’t move for a long time. With the slow rise and fall of his chest, it was impossible to tell who had the upper hand.
“What’s going on?” Song Xuefeng turned around and looked at Lu Nanling.
He still didn’t know the specific situation, but after such a short period of observation, Lu Nanling had already made a judgment. “It looks like it should be a mind control ability. This type of ability is indeed very effective on the weak, but now…”
His peripheral vision swept across the seemingly completely still figure. He stated calmly, “These three people are fighting now.”
This explanation was concise and to the point. There was just one thing that Lu Nanling didn’t say. One of the three people at the moment was an NPC who was a replica of Chi Ting. In this case, two identical forces collided. From a certain perspective, it could be said that one of the game partners of his person on the field was actually himself.
Lu Nanling originally stayed in the back to observe the situation, but now he could no longer hold back.
He took out a delicate monocle and put it on. The moment he looked up, the color of his eyes had turned into a deep blue. They gradually shrank and turned into vertical pupils like venomous snakes.
In an instant, the world before his eyes were completely filled with countless layers of digital locks.
‘Superpower: Data World’ was enough to transform all the information he wanted to know into the most intuitive and rigorous data presentation.
Lu Nanling’s eyes fell on Chi Ting, and he froze.
The data bar representing the degree of alienation was jumping wildly between two extreme values. The chaotic state that could break through the critical point at any time caused his usually calm demeanor to fluctuate significantly.
He suddenly stood up from his chair.
However, in this situation that could get completely out of control at any time, there was nothing anyone outside could do. Only the people on the field themselves could do something.
Lu Nanling could only watch as the figure, who had been standing for a long time in the protective shield that blocked the noise outside, gradually kneeled down and covered his head.
At this time, Chi Ting didn’t hear any noise outside.
Before this, he had no idea what the result would be if his ability collided head-on with his own. However, when he saw that the ‘Chi Ting’ on the opposite side had taken action, he subconsciously wanted to block this absolutely fatal blow for Lou Yueren due to his understanding of his own ability.
Spiritual Authority was a completely inhumane supernatural power. Once a person was struck by it, their inner world would be completely destroyed and everything inherited. Then he would become a walking corpse controlled by the user.
This was an existence that was enough to cause humans to be trampled on like ants. It was irreversible.
Chi Ting didn’t remember what happened before, but he could clearly feel that he obviously didn’t like this type of ability.
The colliding white lights spread out. He could feel an invisible force pulling violently in his mind, tearing his nerves to the extreme. At the same time, what kept pouring into his mind seemed to be the fragments of memories that he had forgotten.
Everything from the past emerged in his eyes like a kaleidoscope of events. The moment such a large amount of information poured in, it seemed as if his head was crowded and ready to explode.
Pulling desperately at the string that wanted to surrender, Chi Ting’s empty vision showed familiar yet unfamiliar figures. They became distorted and weird due to vague memories. They appeared in front of him in rows, filled with cries for help that came from far and near. “Save us… Dawn, save us… Captain Chi… Captain…”
The voices rose one after another, gradually faded away, and slowly turned into hysterical shouts.
“Why? Why didn’t you come to rescue me?”
“No, I’m not a monster at all… If you don’t help someone in need… you will be punished!”
“Woo woo, Captain, I really can’t die! There are people waiting for me. I can’t die!”
“So what if my alienation level is too high? I’m obviously still a human being!”
“Hehe, are you going to let me die now? Then when are you going to die?”
Chi Ting felt a splitting headache as he tried hard to keep his eyes open. He vaguely felt that the figures among them were somewhat sadly familiar.
In the past, he seemed to have saved a lot of people, but he also seemed to have killed even more people in disguise.
More and more figures started to gather around him. One after another, of all shapes and sizes, with different faces.
The endless accusations filling his ears were enough to drive a person crazy and into complete despair. A few veins faintly popped up on Chi Ting’s forehead, but he slowly stood up while holding his head that was about to burst.
The tug of his mind made his pupils seem to be filled with distorted human figures. The corners of his pale lips, without a trace of blood, gradually showed a sickly arc.
His palms slowly slid down to cover the side face, whose expression remained unchanged. The eyes revealed through the slightly open fingertips gradually became more sarcastic.
So, these were the memories he had forgotten.
He always felt it wasn’t a good thing.
But whether it was saving people or killing people, they were all choices he had made before.
What was done was done. Did they still want to use the past to judge him now?
Sorry.
Maybe he did feel a bit lost and regretful, but no matter what, there must be a reason for the choices he made. He had never been a person who would regret and repent for something that had already happened.
It was really boring.
The swirling air currents silently gathered at the soles of his feet. At this moment, they exploded. The originally bustling and noisy world was dispersed as the surrounding figures all scattered and fell into complete silence.
The world finally quieted down. The voices that seemed to fill his mind had finally quieted down.
The confusion in Chi Ting’s eyes gradually calmed down with his heavy breathing. The fatigue that followed from the intense struggle made his whole body feel a bit cramped. He resisted the feeling of exhaustion that made him want to fall asleep on the spot. He tried hard to lift his heavy eyelids, and looked around at the empty world with only a piece of white light left. Then he slowly took heavy steps.
Compared to the physical memories that obviously couldn’t make him happy, he hadn’t forgotten that there was probably another person who had also been brought into this spiritual world.
Finally, he saw an abrupt and independent pink door at the end of his vision.
There was an inexplicable familiar feeling that came over him. After a brief moment of faze, Chi Ting quickened his pace.
He got there and realized the door was half-open. He pushed it gently and walked in.
A figure came into view. This person turned around and looked over as if he had heard the noise.
“Who are you, and how did you get in?” Chi Ting heard Lou Yueren ask this as if he couldn’t see the door at all.
The surrounding walls were all light pink. It was like a huge cage, creating a whole world that imprisoned the person in front of him.
A glance out the French windows in front of him showed endless false and blurred scenes.
However, judging from Lou Yueren’s calm demeanor, the energies released by him and ‘Chi Ting’ at the same time just now had canceled each other out. It did drag Lou Yueren in, but it didn’t cause too much impact.
Chi Ting slowly closed his eyes at the feeling of relief. Then he walked over and calmly extended his hand. “I am the one who will take you out.”
Lou Yueren still looked a bit gentlemanly, but after a few seconds of eye contact, he extended his hand. “I don’t know why, but I feel like we should know each other. We should be very familiar with each other.”
“Who says this isn’t the case?”
The countless unfamiliar images that emerged in his mind at the moment of contact made Chi Ting pause for a moment. Experiencing this situation again had made him accustomed to it. After a while, he walked out the door while holding Lou Yueren’s hand. “In any case, it is time to go back.”
The surrounding light suddenly converged the moment they passed through the door.
The figures of the two people completely disappeared in the dazzling white light.
After all, a replica was just a replica. The authority of Spiritual Authority ultimately belonged to the strongest person with the strongest will.
The starlight lingered for a long time, as if bidding farewell to the absolute king of this spiritual world.
