Since The Red Moon Appeared

Chapter 920: Strolling in the abyss _1

Chapter 920: Strolling in the abyss _1
Lu Xin had entered the abyss a few times and was very familiar with the place.

However, she had never felt as curious and familiar as when she came in with her mother.

She held onto Lu Xin’s arm and walked side by side with him through the dark red world, the land covered in black palms, and the various dilapidated buildings. They saw satellite city No. 2, where the presence of mental monsters was significantly less than other cities. They also saw the powerful monsters that could only hide in dark corners, wanting to show their faces but not daring to.

They even saw doll sitting quietly on a tall building in the sky above the ruins of qingang, with chains flying around her.

Existences that surpassed the level of a spirit Lord would inevitably leave their own projections in the abyss.

Lu Xin even greeted the doll with a smile, causing the doll to open its eyes curiously and look at him with joy.

However, under their mother’s gaze, the two of them didn’t say much. They only greeted each other and walked past each other.

His mother only brought him along as they quickly walked through the abyss.

That night, many people in Green Harbor saw a mother and son in their dreams.

His mother held the young man’s arm and entered another person’s mind from one person’s dream.

Many people in the vicinity of Green Harbor were startled awake.

Some of them were filled with fear and did not dare to fall asleep again. They did not even dare to release any mental power. They had the thought of escaping from qinggang as soon as possible. There were also people who quickly felt lucky after seeing it. They knew what the shadow that had just passed by was, so they knew that they did not need to do anything at this time. The king could choose his own territory, but he could also choose not to …

As for the lower life forms, they could only be chosen.

The only thing that she could feel the most was the doll in the main city of qingang. However, she only took a glance at it before turning back to watch TV.

On the TV, a beauty in ancient costume said affectionately, “”I’m here to join this family …”

..

..

if you want to truly understand the abyss, you must understand the ability users.

As his mother led Lu Xin through the abyss, she explained to him, ” you might have gone through a few training sessions in qinggang and have a certain understanding of ability users, but in my opinion, this understanding is still not deep enough …

As she spoke, she brought Lu Xin to the cross-section of a building.

The rust here continued to float upwards, giving off a strange and wonderful feeling.

Through the strange face, Lu Xin could see a unique wind drifting through the abyss. Among the countless winds that were formed by the spiritual power of different people, this wind seemed more real and agile than the others. His mother looked over and said, ” you see, that’s an ability user. That’s his spiritual trait …

the appearance of ability users is actually the same as the appearance of demented people. It’s all because of a huge change that has impacted the spiritual world. Some people’s spiritual world is completely destroyed and they become demented people, which is what you all know as lunatics.

some people’s spiritual structure has deviated, like a building block that has a distorted shape but hasn’t collapsed. Instead, they have abilities.

the difference between them and a stable spiritual structure is their special traits.

traits become abilities.

and these differences form different characteristics. These are the types of abilities.

“..”

the first stage of an ability user, ” her mother explained softly, ” the awakening of abilities is that simple.

and because the abyss has always existed, the aftermath of the great change in the past has never subsided. Therefore, there will be an endless stream of people affected and become new ability users. Of course, it’s because the impact wasn’t as severe as back then, so there are fewer people who lose their minds now. However, you know from the news that there will still be one or two occasionally.”

“..”

“..”

Lu Xin nodded. He had already read through the contents of the seven steps theory.

Although her mother’s perspective was a little different, the essence was almost the same.

His mother continued to lead Lu Xin forward and found a clearer shadow than the previous wisp of mental power. Not only was it more agile, but it was also much stronger. It swam nimbly in the abyss, occasionally affecting other mental powers.

Lu Xin could feel that it could even devour other mental powers to strengthen itself.

But sometimes, he would quickly spit it out after devouring it, as if he was worried that the devoured mental power would hurt him.

..

..

this is the second stage of an ability user, trait extension.

His mother explained softly,’the second stage of the ability user already has the ability to extend their own spiritual characteristics to other spiritual individuals and assimilate them. In reality, he’s ‘corrupting’ another person, but on the spiritual level, he’s actually assimilating the other person’s mental power, causing the two to become one entity on the spiritual level.”

of course, during this process, it will also be afraid.

“Because the more you assimilate, the more likely your consciousness will be diluted and you will lose yourself.”

if you lose your consciousness during the assimilation process, you’ll become an ordinary source of contamination.

therefore, ordinary aptitude users will usually deliberately carry out shallow contamination.

using the spiritual power of other individuals to complete one’s own goal, and then quickly restore one’s original state.

“..”

Lu Xin listened intently, even though he had already understood most of it.

Meanwhile, his mother had brought Lu Xin through the abyss for a long time. Finally, they found a dark red vortex. Lu Xin saw an invisible monster surging in the endless ruins ahead. It was like a black cloud, but from time to time, human arms or faces would pop out of the cloud. It would roar in despair and crash into the ground, but it would be blocked by an invisible restraint.

“In reality, this is a secret laboratory of the qingang Special Investigation Department.”

“There’s a demented source of contamination that has lost its will in there,” her mother explained to Lu Xin.

if it’s broken, it will madly devour all the spiritual power around it and turn all the spiritual bodies it will encounter into its own appearance. It’s like a plague spreading, and this is also the origin of the word ‘mental plague’. ..

in terms of nature, this is just a second-stage ability user who has lost control.

however, if the second-stage aptitude user has a more stable mental attribute and enough will to keep his consciousness from being overwhelmed by the immense mental power, then he can release the mental plague at will, causing his own attribute to continue to extend and grow. This is the third-stage ability, the infinite contamination attribute.

“Of course, the third step is very dangerous.”

every ability user has their own theoretical upper limit, even if their spiritual structure is stable and their will is strong enough.

“Once this limit is exceeded, he will still lose control and become a source of contamination.”

back then, many institutions that tried to study the seven stages theory were stuck at this stage and couldn’t make any progress.

“..”

Lu Xin nodded his head deeply after hearing his mother’s explanation.

The third step was indeed the level where it was most likely for lunatics to appear and cause large-scale destruction.

It seemed that the black table back then had conducted so many terrifying experiments in order to overcome this problem.

the problem of the third stage is almost impossible to overcome. It all depends on the aptitude user.

Her mother slowly explained, trying her best to be as detailed as possible. however, no matter what kind of forbidden experiments, whether it’s through one’s own internal factors or luck, as long as one stabilizes at the third stage, then there’s always hope of advancing further.

“This is the spirit Lord.”

at this point, my strong will played the most crucial role. The spiritual Palace has taken its initial form.

“With the spiritual Palace, even if it’s only a shadow, one’s consciousness and will will be greatly guaranteed. At the same time, one will have absolute control over the mental power around them. Therefore, an ability user at the level of a spirit Lord can freely adjust the high, medium, and low levels of contamination they have on the surrounding people. They can release or retract the contamination at will.”

“I can use myself as the center to construct a mental domain.”

it can also stop and resist other invading mental power within this domain. It can even dilute and devour it.

we can even recruit assistants and increase the level of their abilities to help them bear the risk of losing control.

“Therefore, a spirit Lord is the limit of mortals.”

he can already be called a God walking on earth.

“..”

“..”

“It’s that powerful?”

Lu Xin reflected on his mother’s words and couldn’t help but be surprised.

After the incident in Pyro city, did he seem to lack respect and awe for the spirit Lord?

“After the spirit Lord, it’s the power you have now.”

His mother chuckled and said,”you should be very clear about the power of this level.” Compared to a mind Lord, this is on another level. A mind Lord’s domain can easily penetrate and change its nature. Unlike a mind Lord’s ability to distort other people’s mental power, the power of illusion can even directly change or erase an ability user’s characteristics.”

of course, it’s easy to erase it, but if you want to change it into another characteristic, you need to have a deep understanding of the other characteristic.

“..”

“The power of imagination can be used in such a way?”

Lu Xin furrowed his brows. At first, he was a little confused, but from a different perspective, everything became clear.

For example, the spider-type Gecko, he could actually turn it into an ordinary person, or change it into a Princess-type?
