In short, after probably more than ten minutes of shock, Benjamin slowly accepted the fact that the system had become a "funny" special effects version of 50 cents.
It doesn't matter... Anyway, we can't have expectations for the system in the first place.
"How did you save me from that knife?" Facing that mocking face, he tried to maintain a serious expression and said, "Where's your new function? Show it off."
"Um..." The system's voice suddenly became a little embarrassed, "Actually, I don't know what's going on, but if you return to reality, I can show it to you again."
Back to reality
Isn't it possible to perform it in the consciousness space
Thinking this, Benjamin left the conscious space with hesitation and returned to the hotel room. In reality, he was lying on his bed in a daze, and the surroundings were very quiet, with no sound.
"Can we start?" he asked in his mind.
"Just a moment, it'll be ready soon... I'll count down, three, two, one, let's start!"
Along with the sound of the system, Benjamin suddenly felt his eyes flashing. Then, he found that he was maintaining the same posture, falling directly from his waist to the bottom of the bed, and his back suddenly fell to the ground, which still hurt him a little.
What the hell
Benjamin was stunned.
Feeling the dark bottom of the bed and the dust on his face, he rubbed his eyes and crawled out from under the bed. The hotel room was still the same, with the oil lamp flickering and unusually quiet, which made him feel confused.
"What happened?" He couldn't help asking in his mind.
"Just... I activated that ability, and then you passed through the vagina and fell directly to the ground." The system replied.
Have you worn it since **
Suddenly, Benjamin became interested.
"Come and do it again. This time the time will last longer. If I tell you to stop, stop again." His curiosity to explore the unknown began to beat restlessly again.
"I can't come. It's very tiring to start this." However, the system just poured cold water on him again. "It will be impossible to maintain it for a long time. The memory will burst and it will crash."
"...Okay." Benjamin was speechless for a moment and had no choice but to accept the answer.
But in his heart, his problems still didn't stop.
When the system activated that special ability, Benjamin didn't feel anything special. However, judging from the result that he was able to swish across the bed, at that moment, he seemed to have entered some kind of "nothingness" state.
- He seemed to have really turned into some kind of ghost-like existence, losing his collision volume, so he couldn't lie down on the bed.
Thinking about it now, when the blonde wanted to slit his throat with a dagger, it seemed that it was also this kind of "nothingness" that caused the dagger to hit the air without actually touching Benjamin's throat, so he was unscathed.
Interesting...
how did you do that
The entity of the system comes from the pure blue world. If this entity gives it some functions, then this function should also be related to the pure blue world. However, judging from the current observation results, this "emptiness" state is really far from the feeling he had when he entered the pure blue world before.
Benjamin couldn't help but start to wonder what the principle of this thing was.
Elementalize? But from that short process, he really didn't feel anything, and there was no such thing as the breath of water element. It was very strange, as if nothing happened.
After thinking about it, Benjamin returned to the conscious space again, holding the "funny" little yellow ball, trying to ask something from the system. As a result, no need to ask, the system didn't know what was going on, and it hesitated for a long time, but didn't say anything useful.
Benjamin had to give up the idea for the time being.
This ability seems to cool down for a long time. He will study it slowly when he has time in the future.
Moreover, even if he can't figure out why, this is a very useful ability that can save his life at critical moments. Since it is very useful, there is no need to worry about what else is available.
With this in mind, Benjamin also asked if there were any other functions. The system gave him a negative answer.
However, Benjamin was not disappointed either. The system was useless to begin with, but now it has finally grown and become somewhat useful. This is already a great joy, so don’t ask for so much. People can't be too greedy.
In this way, after studying the changes in the system, it was almost evening. Benjamin had nothing else to do. After eating, he entered the consciousness space and began to meditate.
After meditating for several hours, when the time approached ten o'clock, Benjamin also withdrew from the conscious space and left the room, preparing to meet the "Silver Fox" boss.
—He went to the Mercenary Association before just to arrange a meeting tonight.
In this situation, various problems needed to be solved urgently, and he really needed more information. And the old man "Silver Fox" with many connections is obviously his best choice at the moment.
So, in the appointed room, Benjamin waited patiently for the other party's arrival. The "Silver Fox" boss was obviously a punctual person. As soon as ten o'clock arrived, he came here, closed the door, and nodded to Benjamin.
"What's wrong? You weren't involved in the turmoil of the past two days, were you?" the old man asked.
Hearing this, Benjamin thought of what happened in the square and was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether he was involved or not.
"This... it doesn't matter." He shook his head, changed the topic, and said, "By the way, I came to you today because I have something to ask you. I wonder if you have any news, and do you know what Rui is now? What's the situation with Gina? If a group of people want to leave, will they encounter any obstacles?"
They definitely couldn't stay in Regina for long. Living in a hotel, dressing up all day long, and not even being able to use your own identity and appearance, how can you live like this for a long time
Therefore, Benjamin is still very concerned about this issue.
"You can leave," the old man replied. "However, in order to capture the church's undercover agents, many checkpoints have been set up around the city. They will only be released after their identities are found out. If you want to leave secretly, basically It’s impossible.”
Hearing this, Benjamin felt a little troubled and asked: "How long will this state last?"
The old man shook his head and replied: "I don't know about that. It depends on the mood of the person above."
… All right.
Hearing this answer, Benjamin also felt a little helpless.
However, this state of martial law should not last long. Caravans still have to come in and out, people still have to live, and no matter how much the queen wants to pull out all the church's chess pieces, she can't always maintain such strict inspections.
If you wait a while, the situation will definitely be much better.
Thinking this, Benjamin put this matter aside for a while, hesitated for a while, and asked the second question.
"By the way, you have been in the Mercenary Association for so long, have you ever heard of a man named Miles?"
The blonde had called the young man by this name before at the massage parlor. Benjamin didn't have much information, so he had to start with the old man to see if he could find out the details of that guy.
He had to understand who the young man was before he could judge what his intentions were.
"Miles?" However, upon hearing the name, the old man looked surprised, "You're asking about...that Miles?"
Benjamin shrugged and said, "There are several Miles, just tell me and I will make my own judgment."
The old man's expression looked a little strange. He shook his head and said, "There is only one Miles, but... I don't know much about this person, just some gossip, and I'm not sure."
… oh
Hearing what the old man said, Benjamin suddenly became interested.
"What do you think."
The old man seemed to consider his words for a while, paused for a moment, and then slowly said: "That man should be regarded as a legend in the mercenary world. Everyone has heard of him, but in different people's mouths, he seems to be completely Two different people.”
