"Type?"
This time, both Bai Xiaolu and her brother were confused. "Are there different types of abilities?"
"How about this —"
Seeing that Bai Xiaolu knew nothing about superpowers, The Golden Tooth said, "Let's not talk about the type for now. Let's talk about how you usually use your abilities. I heard from the people in Tombstone Town that you killed Lord Snake from Sirius Casino. You must have used your 'ability', right? Tell us about that battle in detail. "
At this point, there was no room for reservation. Under her brother's instructions, Bai Xiaolu told them everything honestly.
"Sure enough, it's just as I guessed. It's' mind power '. No wonder you can fight against my' army 'and trigger such strong brainwaves. Very good, very good!"
The Golden Tooth grinned and said unhurriedly, "Let me tell you, kid. The so-called 'abilities' are divided into five types, corresponding to four basic forces — strong mutual force, weak mutual force, electromagnetic force, and gravitational force, plus the mysterious' mind power '.
"Among them, the first form of 'electromagnetic force' and the fifth form of 'mind power' are the two most common 'abilities'. By controlling electromagnetic force, you can automatically change the temperature of objects and their surroundings, stir up electric arcs and flames, and derive changes to friction and various classical physical forces. It's the 'ability' that has the widest range of applications, the most variations, and is relatively easy to cultivate.
"The fifth form of 'Heart Force' can also be considered to be more common. Telepathy, brainwave attack and defense, hypnosis and anti-hypnosis, collective brainwave resonance, the explosion of the subconscious … and the like all belong to the category of 'Heart Force'.
"And there are fewer ability users who cultivate 'Universal Gravitation, Strong and Weak Interaction'. The cultivation method is also very strange and belongs to a field that humans have yet to develop. However, once they succeed, their destructive power will also be the strongest. Cultivating 'Universal Gravitation' can move mountains and seas, change the terrain and landscape, and even absorb endless power from the movements of the sun, moon, and stars. Cultivating 'Strong and Weak Interaction' can change the depths of atoms, the relationship between neutrons, protons, and electrons, and then change the nature of matter. Turning rocks into diamonds, turning flesh into steel, and even forcefully tearing apart atoms and blasting out the effect of a nuclear bomb with one's fist. In theory, all of these are valid.
"But right now, the other 'abilities' have nothing to do with you. You just have to pay attention to 'mind power'.
"Hey, brat, do you know that the way you used 'mind power' in the past was a complete waste of God's gift? You were just messing around with brute force. You squandered a precious ability like this, but it didn't cause any backlash. You even lived to this day. You're really lucky!
"However, you won't be so lucky forever. Unless you follow me and learn how to use 'mind power'."
"Y-You're willing to teach me?"
Bai Xiaolu asked in disbelief.
This time, even without her brother's reminder, Bai Xiaolu smelled the scent of a conspiracy.
In this cruel world after the nuclear war, there was no such thing as' accidentally falling pieces of flesh '.
Behind every seemingly tempting benefit was a rusty iron hook. Every inch of seemingly bright hope meant deeper and darker despair.
"I know what you're thinking."
The Golden Tooth was not surprised by Bai Xiaolu's wary expression. He smiled and said, "If I were still the boss of Citi Gang, and Citi Gang was still as powerful as it was yesterday, I would have ten thousand ways to squeeze the greatest value out of you. I could sell you to the 'agreement' at a high price. I could also lock you in my own lab and think of ways to absorb your strength. I could even send you to the Bloody Arena and earn money by fighting with 'mind power'.
"Unfortunately, you've seen how miserable I am right now. Even if I wanted to sell you to someone else, how could I guarantee that they would pay me obediently after they got you and not take me away together with you and turn me into a pathetic gladiator, a test subject, or even a donor for organ transplants?
"After thinking about it, the safest way is to train you well and sincerely treat you as an assistant or even a brother. I hope to form a solid alliance with you. After all, if two 'superhumans' can fight side by side, the chances of survival will be much higher than if there is only one superhuman. If we can escape and want to make a comeback, the chances of success will be higher with another 'superhuman' as a trump card. What do you think?"
Bai Xiaolu pondered for a long time. "You have a point."
"Also, I need to use your ability to do something."
The Golden Tooth put his hand on his chest and pointed at Wanzanghai in the distance. "What's wrong with that kid? Is he really the son of the laboratory director of Golden Mountain Water Company?"
"I don't know."
Bai Xiaolu shook her head. "The Golden Tooth should know that I'm not his classmate at all. We met halfway. He's a lizard, a liar with a mouth full of lies. He even cheated me of my weapon!"
"But this chip that stores the experiment logs and molecular formulas should be real."
The gold-toothed boss snorted and said, "The intelligence and mission that the 'agreement' gave me was to attack the 'New Gold Mountain' and get some files from the laboratory of the 'Gold Mountain Water Purification Company'. But they didn't tell me that the files were so valuable, and they didn't tell me that there was a f * cking factory of magnetic explosion infantry guarding the laboratory!"
The Golden Tooth's anger made Bai Xiaolu tremble again. She felt like she was talking to a burning lion.
"Forget it. No matter who he is, it's fine as long as the chip is real."
The Golden Tooth looked at Bai Xiaolu. "Listen. In the next few days, I need you to hypnotize him and get the password to retrieve the file from him."
"Me?"
Bai Xiaolu was stunned. "I don't know how to hypnotize."
"Nonsense."
The Golden Tooth said, "Otherwise, why would I teach you how to use the power of the heart? Hypnosis is a very simple trick. You can learn it once you learn it."
"But —"
Bai Xiaolu still did not understand. "The Golden Tooth, you're also an expert who cultivates the power of the heart. Why don't you hypnotize him yourself?"
"First, he probably already guessed my identity. He's very wary and afraid of me. His mental guard is raised to the extreme. Under such circumstances, it's not easy for me to hypnotize him. But you're different. You've always acted very weak in front of him. He doesn't know that you're also a metahuman, so he won't be suspicious of you."
The Golden Tooth said, "Second, my ability, Army, is a large-scale group attack ability. It's more suitable for a large army of thousands of people to fight. Asking me to hypnotize a single target is equivalent to using a mountain-splitting axe to do embroidery. It's not suitable. If I'm not careful, I'll burn his brain, which is equivalent to destroying the password.
"And based on your description, I found that your ability is more inclined towards precise attacks in a small area. It's most suitable for you to learn techniques like hypnosis.
"Third, I also want to see how much you're worth. Are you qualified to be my assistant or even my brother? Consider this a small test I'm giving you.
"Are these three reasons enough, brat?"
"I-I understand."
Bai Xiaolu thought about it and felt that The Golden Tooth's words did make sense.
"Promise him, Young Deer, but don't trust him completely. From the looks of it now, Boss Golden Tooth's injuries might be more serious than we thought. Even his' ability 'has been greatly affected. He is so weak that even a normal teenager can't hypnotize him. He is an arrow at the end of its flight, but he is just gritting his teeth and holding on. Perhaps our recovery speed will be faster than his. But we are not in a hurry to verify this matter. Let's first trick him into giving us the method to cultivate the' power of the heart ', and then we can slowly settle this matter."
Bai Xiaolu sucked in a breath and nodded heavily. "We'll agree to The Golden Tooth's request, but what kind of guarantee do you want us to make?"
"Guarantee? Haha, the most useless thing in the world is promises and guarantees."
The Golden Tooth waved his hand and said, "If I'm strong enough, I'll naturally be able to use my fists to ensure your loyalty. If there comes a day when you're stronger than me, please kill me without any pain. Everything I have will be yours!"
Bai Xiaolu's breathing froze. She did not know what to say.
The Golden Tooth laughed and turned around to shout at Wanzanghai, who was in the distance, "Hey, brat over there, are you done?"
"Right away, right away!"
Wanzanghai nodded and bowed like an obsequious pet lizard.
"Your companions have confirmed your identity, so I'll trust you this time. Once you're done, prepare some food. Right now, I need to dig out the bullets in my body and stitch up my wounds. It's very tiring, so I need to eat a lot!"
The Golden Tooth continued shouting. "This is the best chance to kill me. The weapons and ammunition are right beside you. Do you want to try?"
"No, I don't dare!"
Wanzanghai shuddered and waved his hands to hide even further away.
The Golden Tooth wiped his bloodstained beard, curled his lips, and ordered Bai Xiaolu, "Go get the first aid kit and help me dig out the bullets and stitch up my wounds!"
…..
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Bai Xiaolu dug out a total of twelve bullets from The Golden Tooth's body, which was as tough as a wild boar or a rhinoceros.
If it were not for the blood on the ground and the twitching muscles that he could not control with his willpower, he would have suspected that he was facing a well-disguised killing machine or some kind of new biochemically modified human.
He sucked in a deep breath and composed himself. Bai Xiaolu began to stitch up The Golden Tooth's wounds and spray them with antiseptic foam.
The Golden Tooth took out a thick notebook from his pocket and handed it to Bai Xiaolu. He whispered, "Be careful. Don't let that little brat see this."
Bai Xiaolu took it and looked at it. The edges of the notebook were curled, but it was very smooth to the touch. It was obvious that the owner often stroked it. He could vaguely see that many of the pages were soaked in blood and had a faint smell of blood.
The cover of the notebook was branded with the symbol of the Alliance, and there was a line of Russian below it.
Russian was one of the two lingua franca of the Alliance, but it was rarely used in the Agreement.
Wasn't The Golden Tooth's backer the Agreement? What was going on?
Bai Xiaolu shook his head, indicating that he did not understand Russian.
The Golden Tooth took out a round lens from his pocket, which fit one ear perfectly. After a soft beeping sound, the lens followed Bai Xiaolu's gaze and automatically translated the string of Russian words. It was the notebook and the author's name.
"The Power of the Mind, Yuri Aix. Aix. "
