[Consumption: 10/50/100 psychic energy consumed per minute]
[Learning conditions: Intelligence is greater than or equal to 15, perception is greater than or equal to 15, and charm is greater than or equal to 15]
[Learned]
[Note: If you had to do it all over again, would you love me~]
After fully learning this skill, all the descriptions of this perfect skill were finally displayed.
There is no doubt that this skill is far more powerful than Bai Zhi expected. If he could learn this skill in that small town before, he would not have to go back to exhaustion or danger. The ring is born.
"The manipulation of shadows..."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi raised his hand and turned his attention to the shadow of his arm on the coffee table.
But following the thoughts in his mind, the shadow separated from its original place on its own, appeared on the ceiling in an instant, and then appeared on the floor in the next instant.
After experimenting for a while, Bai Zhi roughly understood the introduction to the effect of this skill ①.
Although in the description, the relevant consumption is 10 points of psychic energy per minute, the specific situation is different based on the actual combat effect. It ranges from about 5 to 20 points. The specific consumption The degree depends on how much control he has over his shadow.
For example, he just wanted to use shadows to spell out a Transformer on the wall, which cost him 20 psionic points in half a minute, and his total psionic power now is only 300 points.
However, things like shadows have no offensive power at all. Bai Zhi didn't figure out how to use this skill for a while. After reluctantly thinking for a moment... Bai Zhi felt that he could grab the hospital's shadowless lamp. Business.
As for the second effect [Strengthening], Bai Zhi also tested it immediately after that, and the effect was pretty good. Physical strength, strength, and agility were all increased to 16 points. Unfortunately, the three attributes of intelligence, perception, and charm were not improved. Although the consumption is a bit high, 50 points of spiritual energy are consumed every minute, and his current spiritual energy value can only last for six minutes at most, but it is much more practical in terms of practicality.
After all, although the attribute value bonus exchange in the mall lasts for a whole hour, it still consumes precious game currency, which is far less flexible than this enhancement.
As for the third effect [Shadow Trace], its appearance is to directly escape into the shadow. It is not just the shadow reflected by the human body, but also the shadow cast by the buildings. Let’s not talk about attacking. In terms of life-saving capabilities, it is absolutely top-notch.
The only drawback of [Shadow Trace] is that it consumes a lot of energy. It consumes 100 points of psychic energy every minute. Each time the visual distance of the jump from shadow to shadow increases, additional consumption is required. Psychic power, and you can only choose the shadow in your line of sight to jump. At the same time, when your body is hidden in the shadow, you cannot move. However, if this skill is used for assassination, it can also be called Gotta be a good hand.
"It's okay. If you have this skill, you can consider exploring the Kingdom of Shadows next..."
After everything was tested, Bai Zhi yawned and took a shower, then went back to his room to sleep.
After all, in a way, too much happened throughout the day today...
Volume One: The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 80 Chapter 78 "Life Survival Plan"
Watching the bus driving farther and farther in his sight, Bai Zhi turned around and walked into a public toilet on the roadside after a moment of wordless silence.
Just like a certain boss can never reach the reality of death, Bai Zhi feels that he has probably won the golden experience of the requiem now... He can never reach the reality of getting on the car.
Yesterday, he wanted to go back to the orphanage but accidentally boarded a bus to hell. But today, when he just bought the ticket and was about to board the bus, a mandatory task from the system jumped out in front of him.
Considering the possible consequences of his sudden disappearance in the car, Bai Zhi turned around silently, tore up the ticket he just bought and threw it into the trash can.
There is a big difference between lone wolf players and players who join an organization, and there is no effective guarantee in terms of logistics. However, both have their own pros and cons, and it is impossible to say who is better and who is worse.
Originally, Bai Zhi had been prepared for the "relevant departments" to come to him after the strange story in school. He had even thought of how to refuse, but after such a long time, in that group After Hua inexplicably gave him 1 million, he was stunned that no one came to him anymore...
Although the number of players is not large, there must be a lot of them. Judging from the skillful manner in which the "relevant departments" used to snatch wild monsters, it is certain that this kind of thing has been done frequently before.
It is difficult for lone wolf players to survive without any resources. Perhaps this is why the big organizations are indifferent
... Bai Zhi felt that this kind of matter was worth investigating.
After entering the toilet cubicle and closing the door, Bai Zhi clicked on the notification from the system again.

[0:56:43]
... If this message from the system had appeared a few minutes earlier, he wouldn't have wasted a ticket.
"Tasks with a time limit of none..."
After looking at the countdown marked at the end with about two minutes left, and squinting his eyes slightly, Bai Zhi directly chose to teleport.
… … … … … … … … … …
Under the bright sunshine at noon, the hot air was rushing up from the soles of my feet. The ground under my feet was covered with sand and gravel. It seemed to be an open space in the suburbs.
After opening his eyes, Bai Zhi first looked around, and then when he saw a building not far to the left of where he was now, he couldn't help but froze slightly.
—It was a slightly dilapidated orphanage.
Unlike yesterday when he took the wrong path and was sent back to the starting point again, this time he was directly teleported from the starting point to the end.
"Huh? If you think about it this way, it's not really a loss at all... Wait, the mission is in an orphanage? Are there weird stories happening here too?"
As if he suddenly thought of something, Bai Zhi couldn't help but frown slightly.
Comparing the description of the mission with the current surrounding situation, he immediately discovered some abnormalities.
For example, at this point in time, no one could be seen at the orphanage. An old security guard who was originally guarding the door was nowhere to be found. The surroundings were quiet, eerily quiet, and no one could be seen.
Also, since it is a teamwork mission, what about your teammates
Just as Bai Zhi was frowning and thinking, he felt a faint feeling of labor pain from the back of his left hand. He lowered his head a little strangely and saw that there was an extra line on the back of his left hand. A long, narrow wound.
The wound wasn't very deep, and if he didn't treat it quickly, it would heal on its own.
"I always feel like the development of this mission is becoming more and more strange..."
After his eyes lingered on the small wound on the back of his left hand for a moment, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and walked towards the orphanage.
As he passed the guard's room, he paused for a moment and looked inside the guard's room.
It's said to be a guard's room, but it's actually just a small room that can only accommodate a table and a few chairs. The cup on the table still contains steaming tea. A newspaper was half-open on the table... everything was normal except that there was no one around.
At this moment, his eyes also caught sight of several figures gathered under the building over there.
"Because I chose to teleport when the five-minute countdown was almost over... so was I the last one to arrive?"
Bai Zhi made such a small guess in his mind and walked towards the building over there without stopping at the guard room which had little exploration value.
one two three…
Counting himself, the number of players participating in this mission reached seven.
After Bai Zhi came closer and stood there, he glanced at him, stretched out his hand to push up his glasses, and a young man with a slightly feminine appearance wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses spoke first.
"Okay, it looks like there won't be any new players joining. Since this mission is a team cooperation mission, in order to enable better cooperation, how about we first show our ID and level?"
"Before you say something like this, I think you'd better show sincerity."
Among the crowd, a tall young woman with long hair spoke coldly.
"In the mandatory tasks assigned by the system, the more players participating, the more difficult the task is. A seven-person difficulty task is enough for half of us to die here."
"Of course. After all, only by continuing to cooperate can we gain an advantage in the face of those weird rumors."
Smiling nonchalantly, the young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses took the lead in showing his player information.
[Traveler: LV 6]
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 81 Chapter 79 Players
No one knows what the system's criteria for issuing mandatory tasks are, but among the seven players who participated in this task, there are quite a few independent people.
Not to mention the young man with gold-rimmed glasses and the cold-faced woman at the beginning, among the remaining four players, the one that caught Bai Zhi's attention the most was a burly man.
Among the players gathered here, he was the only one who still stood upright, with sharp eyes and a calm expression. He had an unusually strong military temperament. At the same time, the rank of this big man who was suspected to be a soldier was also present. The tallest among the players.
[Iron-Blooded: LV 8]
In addition to this big man, standing on the left side of Bai Zhi was a bored boy who was eating melon seeds. He seemed to be just in high school, and his ID was very suitable for someone of his age. look.
[Ye Ao, what can I do?: LV 6]
After seeing this Yeao player reveal his ID and level, except for Bai Zhi, the expressions on the faces of everyone else were indescribable.
"So it turns out that IDs can still be marked?"
Bai Zhi reached out and touched his chin, a look of regret on his face.
"If I had known earlier, I would have given myself an ID of "銊载谰奰褤妚侢开恬". The current ID is not recognizable at all..."
As he spoke, Bai Zhi also showed his player information.
[Black and white: LV 5]
"No, I think your ID is recognizable enough."
As soon as Bai Zhi finished speaking, a literary girl wearing glasses flashed her ID while complaining.
[Smiling softly: LV 6]
As one of Bai Zhi's teammates he met in the novice mission, Qianxiao Xinrou's level was actually one level higher than him. This made Bai Zhi slightly surprised. Compared with the novice mission, , the other party changed her appearance, and I don’t know whether it was her real face or a made-up face, but her beauty was even better than before.
However, Bai Zhi's impression of the opponent was not based on appearance. After all, in the previous novice mission, the opponent lay dead for the entire second half. His overall performance and brilliance throughout the entire process were not even as good as those of Night Owl...
As for Bai Zhi, Qianxiao Xinrou had an extremely deep impression in her heart. If it weren't for his ID and that way of speaking, she might not have been able to recognize him.
In addition to the cold-faced beauty with a gentle smile, there is also a female player among the seven players. She has neat short hair and an English ID that is eye-catching enough.
[Daoloth：LV 6]
Seeing that all the players had shown their IDs, the cold-faced beauty at the beginning also finally showed her player information.
[Lian Qing: LV 7]
In terms of rank, she was second only to the iron-blooded man who was suspected to be a soldier.
In fact, for teamwork-type tasks like this, it is necessary to display player information at the very beginning.
Because when facing an unknown Kaidan, no one knows what kind of abilities that Kaidan has. If you don’t figure out the identity and number of your teammates from the very beginning, then Kaitan will be among your teammates. You may not even know.
It's not like this kind of weird story pretending to be a player has never happened before. It's like the Demon King sneaking into the team of heroes who are conquering the Demon King. The outcome can be imagined.
Player nicknames cannot be forged, which is the best way to prevent those weird rumors from being mixed into the player population.
"This mission is very difficult. I hope everyone can cooperate sincerely. I believe no one will want to die here, right?"
After all the players' information was announced, the traveler clapped his hands and spoke with a smile.
"I personally still have some experience in intelligence analysis. How about I do a preliminary analysis? The main place where the strange stories happen should be in this orphanage, or the building behind us at this time. And this This mission has two goals. The first goal is to rescue ordinary people, indicating that there are still survivors in this building at this moment. The second goal is to find and solve six hidden sources of anomalies. These six sources of anomalies This is probably the main reason for the strange rumors that broke out in this orphanage. As for the explanation about no time limit, I personally think this is probably a hidden language trap. For example, as time goes by, the degree of danger will increase. will continue to increase, and our situation will become more and more dangerous, so time is a variable we must pay attention to... "
It has to be said that since he spoke as soon as possible to gain control of the discourse, the traveler naturally had his own confidence. Using the simplest and most concise words, he roughly sorted out the current situation. Again.
This orphanage in the suburbs is obviously very old. The internal building is roughly composed of a guard office, a six-story building, and a low-storied canteen on the left side of the building.
Outside the entire orphanage, no one could be seen. The guard hall was empty, and the cafeteria door was also open, with no one inside.
Among the entire orphanage, the most unusual location is obviously the building behind them, because the doors of other buildings are all wide open, but the door of the building behind them is closed.
—Through the similarly closed windows, there was deathly silence in the activity hall on the first floor.
The entire orphanage seemed to be trapped in a different space. The phone and network signals were all blocked. After the players searched around the orphanage and in the corners of the cafeteria, they did not find any abnormalities. At the same time, there was no Until the strange incident in the orphanage can be solved, they cannot leave the 100-meter radius around the orphanage.
After everyone's discussion, everyone unanimously decided to go inside the building to explore. Since no clues could be found elsewhere, it is obvious that the key clues and the survivors who need their rescue are all close to this door. in a closed building.
The seemingly closed door was not locked and could be opened with a gentle push. While carefully alerting the surroundings, the tall Tie Xue took the lead.
And just after all of them entered the building, with a muffled bang, the door was slammed shut. When everyone reacted and pushed it, the entire door seemed to have been welded to the space. They stood there motionless as if they were together.
—Like prey that walked into a trap, they were locked up in this building.
