Chapter 556 Anger and Calm (13)

When your own life will become a drag on your son.

When I already know that I am not far away from death.

When I saw that my son's ability was enough to win the glory he yearned for.

one person.

A mother.

A person who has spent the first half of his life and has no second half.

I choose the date when my life will end.

In your own hands.

mom? Do not! !

Things got worse when the weary man felt his long sword getting duller and harder to chop off the heads of those corpse lunatics.

Some weird phantoms began to appear in the city. Those phantom swords were difficult to damage, and only weapons with plasmic reactions or magic potions could attack, but their attacks were actually reflected in reality, and they took advantage of it.

In addition, all kinds of ferocious beasts climbed out of the city's sewers and many shadowy alleys at some point, and began to attack everyone indiscriminately, and even killed each other.

Phantoms and alien beasts attacked each other, phantoms attacked the camp of survivors, and beasts preyed on everything that could move. The ascensionists in Azure City organized a team to protect a small team of survivors and headed towards Lantern Fish City in the south. , but an even bigger giant beast appeared on the other side of Lantern Fish City, directly crushing that team of survivors.

The man even saw people from Flameland and the Institute of the Intellect. As for why he knew it, it was because they were also organizing a team to escape from this place. They were transporting instruments and materials, revealing their own characteristics.

But they all died.

Everything is getting worse. The Avak Territory has fallen into a destruction that no one expected. The Grand Duke doesn't know, the Viscount Avak doesn't know, and the people who hide in the dark in the Institute of the Intellect and the Flying Flame Land don't knowno one knows what happened to the accident. How it happened, but it's tearing the world apart.

Tear the Void and let its fragments fall into reality.

But for some reason, the man has a feeling.

He is not afraid of all the difficulties.

He is never afraid, whether it is the difficulties in life or the real enemiesno matter how powerful they are, the result is nothing more than killing and being killed. He is never afraid of this.

He is only afraid that he is greedy for peace, unable to bring glory, and let his family continue this poor life.

He is afraid that his life will be ordinary, so that his mother can only eat bran and swallow vegetables for the rest of her life, instead of enjoying happiness and laughter.

And now, he discovered something that he was even more afraid of.

That is when I have not had time to do anything, or even before I have had time to find out, my family has already left.

Mother ended her own life and cut open the blood vessels in her neck with a cloth cutting knife that she carried with her.

The warm blood was mixed with the blood of the enemy when the man was fighting. When he found out, the mother had already stopped breathing.

Mom...Mom...why...

At this moment, Ian felt a very special emotion, which was an indescribably complicated, choking sob.

At the first moment, I was at a loss. The brain couldn't understand the reality that his mother had died, couldn't understand the reason for his mother's suicide, and couldn't accept the reality that everything was over before he said the last word to his mother.

At the second time, hatred surged like a tsunami. The hatred for his own weakness, the hatred for the unknown culprit who caused all this. The hatred of his mother who didn't believe in his mother who ended her own life without authorization.

Next, there is a mess of chaos. Even Ian needs to count the emotions in detail.

A sort of...instinctive...reassurance.

Mother really slowed down my speed. If I didn't abandon my mother, I would die in Azure City with my mother and Cynthia.

Mother died. If it's just Cynthia, I can still protect her out of the city and survive.

Thoughts like this floated up for a moment, and then they were overwhelmed by a huge sense of despicability and regret like a meteorite hitting the ground.

how could I think that?

I would rather die than do this!

but

Mother committed suicide precisely because she knew that I would rather die than do this.

It's all me...it's all my fault...

I'm such adisgusting piece of shit.

Human beings, ordinary human beings, cannot control their own thoughts.

This despicable and self-destructive thought will not have more than two thoughts in the thinking of a normal person, but the man at this moment is not normal.

In a huge, tumultuous, chaotic, hard-to-outline emotional onslaught

He awakened psionic powers.

Perceiving this, Ian finally understood why he could leave such a deep memory.

Here this moment.

is an acquired psyker, the moment of awakening.

"Well?"

The light in Ian's eyes converged, and he had read the past memories hidden in this phantom.

Very close. It's just the last few days. It is the memory of one of the few survivors in Azure City.

As for why Ian can perceive that the man named Miles in his memory is still alive and a survivor...

is actually a premonition of psionic power.

In the retrospective time, Ian can clearly sense the people and objects in these past images, can sense their conditions, and even... prophesy to them with the help of the precognitive vision.

In the past, except for the elven pirate captain Andor, Ian has never seen any living people. After all, those remaining memories and emotions are too old, and they are leftovers from more than a thousand years ago.

However, the feelings in Phantom Woman are too 'fresh'. Ian could see the status quo of the surviving of these feelings, the man named Miles.

And this is why the boy was surprised.

"Silver...he has the potential of the fourth energy level?"

Ian murmured to himself, he did see that 'Myers' had a good talent for swordsmanship, but to be honest, he was not as good as him or Qing Chao.

Qing Chao is the kind of person who is born to use a sword. He can use a pen to kill three heavily armed Harrison Harbor Guards, and use a branch to beat Scott to the ground.

But in contrast, Miles actually awakened his spiritual power.

This means that he has a certain psychic potential, just like Elan and Ian, as long as he encounters specific situations and emotional shocks, he can become a psychic.

But, just for this, it is impossible to have 'silver mist'.

The future that can be predicted by the predictive horizon is not long. Generally speaking, it can manifest the fog of the last month, but if it exceeds six months, there are only a few 'signs'.

This is the result of many experiments conducted by Ian over the years. Compared with the big predictions made by other prophets for decades or decades, Ian only saw such a prediction after ending the path of the swarm. Dream.

Can Miles advance to the fourth energy level within six months? What a joke, he can't even do it, okay?

But Ian felt a slight movement in his heart: "No, the silver color on his body is the same as Frost Butterfly, it is a strange silver color."

Ian recalled the silver mist he saw on Frost Butterfly before he set off.

At that time, he was also quite puzzled, and in the end he could only conclude that 'there will be some benefits of the fourth energy level' - just like Ian's own 'ether crystallization'.

This is not surprising, rather, Ian would definitely fight for Frost Butterfly if there was one...but Miles also has this potential.

"Ian?"

And at this moment, the boy heard Hua An's worried inquiry: "Why do you seem to be very angry? Pen, look, pen, the pen was broken by you!"

"Huh? Is that so?"

Ian was a little surprised.

Miss Goblin didn't notice Ian's abnormality at first, but later she discovered that Ian could crush the pen in his hand without changing his face.

He can actually not be angry at all on the surface, analyze calmly, and then only show his anger in some small details!

Fairies can't do this, because they are born without a body, so happiness, anger, and even sadness will be particularly obvious. They are a very easy-to-understand life, completely different from human beings, which have a body as a barrier between each other. .

Lowering his eyes, Ian looked at his hands.

The pen that was originally used to write the report was crushed by him, the ink spilled out, and was suspended in mid-air by his instinctive fairy water control ability,

Watching this scene, he couldn't help sighing: "It seems that I really... haven't learned my lesson."

The last time I was with Baron Ryan, Sister Yingguang noticed this bit of anger, which made the other party aware of her true feelings. But this time, they showed this kind of emotion in front of Hua An, even in front of Mikael.

Although, in a sense, this can also be a layer of camouflage, no one will doubt that he should indeed be angry...

but no matter.

This is something that should not be done.

He needs to stay calm and not show any clues.

"Obviously when I talked about this with the teacher back then, I was always calm."

Ian thought with some self-mockery: "Now that I think about it, I'm too arrogantI've never seen the ugliness and death in this world with my own eyes, and I've never even seen dead people, ants, and garbage. "

"Yeah, it's my problem. I'm too arrogant... I haven't seen the ugliness of the former empire like my teacher, nor have I transformed the world like them. Of course, I can look at all this from the calmest and most rational perspective. .

"So... even now."

"I saw it, and I should keep calm."
