I Just Want To Retire Quietly

Chapter 90: Consciousness Intrusion (IV)

Views:

The helicopter was not traveling very fast, and it was exactly midnight when everyone arrived at the teleportation point. The helicopter landed on an open space near the cemetery.

Lucas and the other two: “…”

Why is the teleportation point in such a terrifying location

Not to mention them, even the superpower team felt that this place was much more eerie than other places.

"The dark energy is very strong," Liang Xian frowned, "much stronger than in Shijiazhuang city."

"Of course," Aunt Yang took out a quilt from the space and wrapped it around herself, but she was still shivering. "How could the nebula in the cemetery not be heavy?"

Liang Xian had given up explaining the dark energy theory to everyone. Except for the exchange students, everyone in the superpower team accepted the aunt's ghost theory. Only Tan Yan, a staunch materialist, still believed in Liang Xian, but he didn't understand and could only take notes seriously.

Everyone abandoned the helicopter and walked to the teleportation point. Although the way home was right in front of them, they couldn't leave immediately.

"We can't go on like this," Tan Yan looked at the distressed Aunt Yang and Lucas, "They won't be able to wait until dawn."

The two of them were the weakest among the crowd, with the lowest internal energy. They had just been possessed, and the dark energy here was too strong. The two were about to freeze to death. Tan Yan tried to help Aunt Yang keep warm by rubbing his body, but it was useless.

211 and 203 were actually also very cold, but they had received different training and their tolerance was stronger than the other two.

Although Liang Xian was able to prevent them from being possessed by conscious entities, he was unable to stop the invasion of dark energy.

Minister Yu said that Lucas and the others would be injured, and now there are still six hours until dawn. It is estimated that the three of them and Aunt Yang will be frozen to death by then.

Everyone in the superpower team looked at Liang Xian. After all, Liang Xian was the only one who could still use power in this world.

Liang Xian shook his head and said, "I can dispel the dark energy appropriately, but it requires the cooperation of their own consciousness, otherwise their bodies can't bear it."

Tan Yan’s protective shield cannot resist the ubiquitous dark energy. Is it possible for him to just watch them get into trouble

"How about I share my power?" Qiu Qizheng, who had recovered a little, said, "Combine the power of the superpower team with theirs and help them resist the dark energy."

"No, with the bodies of the superpower team, they may not be able to hold out until dawn. If we divide them among others, it will be even worse."

Indeed, the faces of the members of the superpower team are now turning green, they are just enduring it.

Tan Yan looked at Aunt Yang who was in pain and couldn't help asking, "What about me and Liang Xian?"

Liang Xian looked at him.

"Lend me Liang Xian's strength, and I will open a protective shield that can defend against dark energy. Although I cannot dispel the dark energy in everyone's bodies, I can prevent them from continuing to deteriorate. This way, they should be able to hold on until dawn." Tan Yan looked at Qiu Qizhen.

Qiu Qizhen shuddered. It was really a painful thing to come into contact with Tan Yan's consciousness twice in a row.

However, he had no way to refuse at this time, so he could only fight: "... I'll try."

Upon hearing that they were going to combine their powers, Liang Xian happily took the initiative to hold Tan Yan's hand with a look of anticipation.

"It's a combination of consciousness, not body. Can you not show that expression? It's very hurtful to the eyes in the middle of the night. Consider people with good eyesight." Yan Yongfeng said unbearably.

“No, there is actually a theory about dual cultivation of the primordial spirit…” Ah San said.

"Then each of us has practiced dual cultivation, and Qiu Qizhen is still the C position." Yan Yongfeng retorted.

Liang Xian: “…”

Shut up! All his beautiful fantasies were destroyed by this group of people.

Qiu Qi was focusing most of his energy on Tan Yan. He swallowed and nervously placed his hands on their shoulders.

At this moment, two huge forces of consciousness, one light and one dark, surged into Qiu Qizhen's mind. He groaned, and his consciousness was squeezed out of his body.

Qiu Qizheng: “?”

He floated in the air, watching his body being occupied by two forces. The consciousness struggled for a while, and the dark consciousness voluntarily lay dormant, dominated by the light consciousness. A faint light emanated from Tan Yan's body, enveloping everyone.

After becoming a conscious body, Qiu Qizhen was able to feel the dark energy around him. This cold force was very harmful to the physical body, but it was very nourishing to the conscious body. Qiu Qizhen felt very comfortable being in the dark energy.

At this moment, after Tan Yan protected everyone in the upgraded protective shield, he let go of Liang Xian's hand. As soon as he moved, Qiu Qizhen's body fell down.

Ah San supported Qiu Qizheng and said, "Xiaozheng must have fainted. Spread out his clothes and let him lie down flat."

Qin Li stepped forward to help Asan support Qiu Qizhen, and the two dragged him into the protective shield. The floating consciousness Qiu Qizhen immediately found that he could not feel his body.

Qiu Qizheng: “…”

Yan Yongfeng touched the monitor's nose and found he was still breathing, but he felt something was wrong. He held Qiu Qizheng's body and looked up, and saw a transparent version of the monitor floating outside the protective shield.

Yan Yongfeng: “…”

Liang Xian also noticed that Qiu Qi's consciousness had left his body, and he followed Yan Yongfeng's line of sight and found him.

Qiu Qizhen, who was in a conscious state, was speechless and could only wave his hands and feet for help. Yan Yongfeng opened his mouth twice, rushed out of the protective shield and pounced on the squad leader, but missed. The transparent Qiu Qizhen went straight through his body and couldn't touch him at all.

"What are you doing?" asked Ah San.

Yan Yongfeng had no time to pay attention to him. He looked at Liang Xian for help. Liang Xian's first reaction was to touch his pocket, but found nothing.

"I still have some crystal cores on me, and I wanted to give them to him to absorb, but the crystal cores don't seem to have followed me into this world." Liang Xian was a little at a loss. He had never encountered a situation like Qiu Qizhen.

Aunt Yang felt much better after entering the protective shield and managed to sit up and drink some hot water. Yan Yongfeng saw that science could not solve the problem, so he cried and threw himself on Aunt Yang: "Auntie! What should I do if the soul leaves the body?"

Aunt Yang was nearly choked by his attack. She coughed twice before saying, "Call the soul back. I heard a story when I was a child. It involves pinching the philtrum, pricking the fingertips, and then calling out the name after dripping blood. It's said that the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and if you make the heart ache, you can call the person back. But this method of dripping blood is easier to do if it's done by a direct relative. Why are you asking this?"

"The squad leader has left his soul. I'll try your method, Auntie."

"What?" Auntie Yang ignored her weak body and ran to Qiu Qizhen's body. She patted Qiu's face, and when she saw that he didn't respond for a long time, she panicked. "Auntie, you are talking nonsense. How can what you know from watching TV dramas and listening to stories count? We still have to find Captain Xiao Liang. When he was helping the stall before, didn't he say something about glass color condensation?"

"Bose-Einstein condensate," Liang Xian corrected calmly, "Don't worry, Qiu Qizhen's body is still alive. Those consciousnesses can seize the body, so there is no reason why he can't come back. As long as it's not daybreak, his consciousness will not disappear under the protection of dark energy. We still have time."

Qiu Qi was floating around outside in a daze. He tried to enter Tan Yan's protective shield, but was bounced back.

It seems that after the upgrade, the protective shield can really resist dark energy.

"Let's try Auntie's method first."

Seeing that Qiu Qizhen couldn't get in, Yan Yongfeng dragged him out, bit the tip of Qiu Qizhen's middle finger hard, pinched his philtrum hard and called his name. Qiu Qizhen floated twice and felt nothing.

Everyone panicked and ran to Qiu Qizhen's body to try various methods, including pacing and artificial respiration, but to no avail.

Even the international friends were lying in the protective shield and said to try the cross, but everyone glared back. The cross is for exorcism, and Qiu Qizheng is now in a soul state, how can he use it casually.

Qiu Qizheng: “…”

Has he become a demon now

"Squad leader, try lying in your own body for a while," Yan Yongfeng shouted, "Didn't they show it on TV that the soul and spirit merged as soon as they lay down? After all, it's your own body."

Qiu Qizhen leaned over and tried it, but there was no response.

"Pah!" Ah San yelled anxiously, "Those consciousnesses can enter our bodies at will, why is it so difficult for Xiao Qiu to return home?"

"Maybe there is a different way," Tan Yan suddenly said, "We can ask them."

“How can I ask? They can’t speak…” Ah San paused in the middle of his sentence.

They actually spoke after they possessed the body.

"You're not planning to let them possess your body, are you?" Liang Xian asked.

"This is the only way for now," Tan Yan said, "I am quite powerful. After suppressing their consciousness, they should be able to invade, right?"

"No, no," Qin Li shook his head, "You still have to set up a protective shield to protect everyone. I'll do it."

"What if you are unable to defeat the consciousness after being invaded?" Tan Yan objected, "I am quite confident in myself. Let me do it."

"Stop arguing!" Liang Xian suddenly said, "You all have such good health. These consciousness bodies cannot possess you without the dark energy invading your shells. Let me do it."

Seeing that everyone was about to object, Liang Xian said, "I don't need dark energy to invade, I can let them possess me directly. I have been suppressing them before, and now I just need to restrain my power."

Qiu Qizheng floated in front of Liang Xian and shook his head in disagreement.

Liang Xian pretended not to see it and ordered everyone to lift Qiu Qizhen's body back into the protective shield. Without the protection of consciousness, his body would be more easily affected by dark energy.

He walked a little further away, stood quietly in the night, and fell down after a while. Then he immediately jumped up and rushed towards Tan Yan and others.

But before he could rush to the front, he was pushed down by Tan Yan.

"How did you attach yourself to that person? Tell me! And then get out of Liang Xian's body right away!" Tan Yan said coldly.

The author has something to say: Ahhh, I am good at science but not metaphysics, these chapters are not easy to write!!!

This chapter is a bit short. I will continue writing it in the evening. I won’t take a rest today because I was too tired yesterday!

The following is nonsense

I found two points in the comments that some people didn’t understand. Let me explain them.

First, it was really Tao Yuanming who said that it is good to read without seeking to understand too much. He mentioned it in "Biography of Mr. Five Willows", which means that one does not need to read word by word. My personal understanding is that he was hinting that in the current Chinese language exams, reading comprehension does not require such thorough analysis, and things that the author has not even thought of are not presented for people to analyze. Therefore, Mr. Tao Yuanming is probably a person with special abilities who could foresee that thousands of years later students would suffer from seeking to understand too much.

Second, someone left a comment below the article, saying that foreigners have watched Saint Seiya, and they know Athena? This is really original to Saint Seiya. Saint Seiya was created based on ancient Greek mythology, and Athena is a goddess in the mythology thousands of years ago.

Athena is the daughter of Zeus and the goddess of wisdom Metis, and she is the same mother as Polo. Gaia and Uranus predicted that after Metis gave birth to a bright-eyed daughter, she would give birth to a son who would overthrow Zeus. Zeus was afraid that the prediction would come true, so he swallowed Metis whole. After that, Zeus had a severe headache, and Apollo's treatment was ineffective. Zeus had to ask the god of fire Hephaestus to open his head (some say it was Hermes), and the god of fire did so. To the surprise of the gods, a beautiful goddess with a graceful figure and armed with sharp weapons jumped out of the cracked head. She was radiant and graceful. This was Athena.

In fact, looking at ancient Greek mythology, I think it is basically a war between the god king Zeus and his illegitimate children and his original wife who are scattered all over the world...

But I personally still like ancient Greek mythology very much, the humanity and divinity portrayed in it are very realistic.

For example, Medea (note, it has nothing to do with fate), after falling in love with Jason, betrayed her father for him, helped him get the Golden Fleece, eloped with Jason, and gave birth to two children after marriage. As a result, when Medea got older, Jason cheated on her and wanted to marry a younger woman. Medea agreed to their wedding, and then poisoned the mistress and her two biological children, burned the palace, and drove away in what seemed to be a flying car under the fire and Jason's painful eyes. After returning to her country, she reconciled with her father and helped her father become the throne.

Well, the real-life version of women awakening is much more awesome than relying on rebirth for revenge.

Speaking of which, I thought about the plot of Saint Seiya... It's basically about Athena leading a group of worthless humans to madly diss her uncle (Poseidon) and an old man (Hades).

In fact, it was not uncommon for gods to destroy the world in ancient Greece. In mythology, humans changed several times. The first batch of humans created by Prometheus were golden humans, who were similar to gods and very powerful. God also liked golden humans very much. Later, he felt that they were not obedient, so he destroyed the world and created silver humans. Silver humans were also disobedient, so he destroyed them and created bronze humans. It is not clear whether bronze humans destroyed the world later, but there was a fourth generation of humans, the Black Iron Period. This period was the most chaotic, and it is estimated that the gods were not willing to care about them.

And during this period, Athena really did not protect mankind. When the first generation of humans was created, Prometheus created humans and Athena gave humans wisdom. Later, she was jealous of Prometheus, so she helped Zeus create Pandora, and let Pandora take the box to the world and release the disaster.

In ancient Greek mythology, Athena is really smart. She usually does not express her opinion or take a stand. When Hera dissed the children born to other mistresses, she did not confront Hera openly, but secretly helped. Except for the golden apple incident, she rarely challenged the authority of the queen of gods head-on, so Athena is very popular among the gods, second only to Hermes.

Speaking of Hermes... He is even more of a good guy. Emma can't say anymore. I have to write_(:3∠)_

I really like ancient Greek mythology, and I can't stop reading it. When I was a kid, I hated Hera. She was everywhere and harmed everyone. When I grew up, I realized that there were so many gods in ancient Greek mythology, and they were all illegitimate children of Zeus. Hera was really tired.

In fact, Zeus pursued Hera in every possible way. Zeus liked Hera, but was rejected when he pursued her. So he turned into a wet cuckoo. The kind-hearted Hera hid the cuckoo in her chest to keep warm. Zeus turned into his original form, raped Hera, and promised Hera that she would be his only queen of gods.

In fact, Hera was already Zeus' seventh wife, but she was the Queen of Gods, or the queen in the traditional sense. Hera had a good relationship with Zeus's wives, but she couldn't stand the fact that Zeus had so many wives but was still flirting with them everywhere. She would hunt them down wherever she went and persecute these illegitimate children and mistresses. Zeus felt guilty and didn't dare to disobey Hera openly, but secretly found someone to raise the children (Hermes was needed here, as he was the one who took the children to adoptive parents). When the children grew up, they became gods, mistresses, and deified. As Zeus had more and more children, Hera made enemies everywhere in the world of gods and became the big boss in ancient Greek mythology.

Actually, when you think about it, it was the scumbag Zeus who was wrong. He turned Hera, who was once so kind that she couldn't bear to see the cuckoo suffer from the cold, into a resentful woman. Alas...

I'm going to type_(:3∠)_
