Zhang Lisheng was stunned and looked in the direction of the familiar voice. His gaze passed through the two to three young bodies that were constantly trembling and howling in pain on the ground, and what he saw was Ellen's flushed red face.
"Oh, Miss Ellen, looks like you have a pair of very sensitive ears," the young man said, a little dumbfounded. "May I ask how did you get the answer just now?"
"My dad's favorite board game is the D&D series. Until I went to high school, I would accompany him to play a few rounds every weekend. Also, the bedtime stories that he told me since I was young were all adapted from the Cthulhu Mythos. For this reason, studying the monster's attributes is the only thing that I'm better at than physics."
"Oh, I see. Looks like a father with a weird personality can often bring many unexpected talents to his child. In that case, you can continue to study this' big eye 'in the sky.
Don't forget to tell me if you find any weakness. If you're lucky, it may save your life. "
"But Lisheng, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on until then. I'll be twisted into meat sauce and used to shape the monster's body. If you don't save me now, I'll definitely die," Ellen said in fear and sorrow.
"I'm sorry, Miss Ellen. Even I'm not in a good situation right now, so I'm afraid I don't have the extra strength to save you. To be honest, what you should do at this moment is not to ask for help but to pray," Zhang Lisheng replied and shifted his attention back to the lawn of the field.
With his keen eyesight, he noticed that among the group of Truth Society's black-clothed men who were lined up in an octagonal diamond shape with their eyes closed and praying in a low voice as though they were unaware of anything, eight of them began to emit a milky white light that drifted to form a slender ray of light that connected to the huge 'eye' in the air.
The position where the eight people were standing just happened to be at the eight sharp corners of the octagonal diamond.
While the young man was engrossed in watching, Ellen's voice resonated in his ears again with all of her strength. "Lisheng, I've often heard Tina, Sheila, and Trish mention you. They said that you're a person who advocates the principle of fairness the most.
Today, if I didn't propose for everyone to gather to watch the football game, you would've been separated from Sheila and Trish, and it would've been impossible for you to save them so easily. You owe me! You owe me … "
Upon hearing this, Trish, who had closed her eyes in pain because many of the people struggling in the sports field were familiar faces that she often met on campus, could no longer bear the torment in her heart. Abruptly, she opened her eyes and gritted her teeth as she said sadly, "I'm sorry, Ellen. Stop begging Lisheng to disappoint you again and again. To him, helping Sheila and helping of me is … is …"
However, when the girl turned her face to Ellen, she found that the scene was completely different from what she had imagined. Ellen had been wrapped in a faint mist and was floating more than ten centimeters above the ground, quietly gliding towards her. Suddenly, Trish's sadness was struck by an inexplicable joy, and she could no longer speak.
At this time, Zhang Lisheng, who had used his omniscient power to protect Ellen and sent her to Trish, whispered, "Miss Ellen, come to think of it, you've indeed saved me some time in searching for them. In exchange, I promise that you won't be crushed to death by your own weight, but that's all."
"I promise that you didn't save the wrong person, Lisheng. I'll prove my value." Ellen, who was immersed in the mist, felt as though she had taken drugs. Her body was so relaxed that it was as though she could fly. As though she could not hear the indifference in the young man's tone, she replied with a grateful tone.
Before the girl's words could even leave her mouth, a sturdy blonde young man kneeled on the ground not far away and shouted at Zhang Lisheng in a hoarse voice, "Y-You really have the power to counteract that monster's superpower! Save me! Save me now! Otherwise, I'll tell the others! I'll … I'll …"
Before he could finish his threat, a faint white mist had already condensed by the side of his mouth and penetrated straight into the blonde young man's mouth, blocking his throat and esophagus before rolling around as though it was real. It tore his internal organs apart from the inside out and broke all the bones in his body.
At this moment, the blonde young man could no longer make a sound or move. He could only rely on the protruding blood vessels that covered his entire face and his eyes that were widened to the point that the corners of his eyes were torn, and his eyes that were so bloodshot that they were almost bright red, to see that he was suffering unparalleled pain.
Looking at his eyes that were filled with despair and horror, Zhang Lisheng finally muttered with a ferocious expression, "I do indeed have the power to fight against that big eye. For this reason, you'll die even more miserably than those pitiful people who have turned into minced meat just now. This is not only because of your threat to me, but also because of your own stupidity.
Has the monster in the sky tortured you to the point that you're hallucinating? Isn't it obvious just by looking at my face? I'm also a monster that you can't afford to offend. To be honest, my role in the foreign world is not much different from the big eye.
However, it's good to have a fool like you. At least, when I see that you're still alive for several dozens of minutes, I should be able to avoid other people's stupidity. "
As the young man was speaking, he lay on the ground and stretched his head to look around quietly. Those who noticed the tragic state of the blonde young man did not dare to look him in the eye. Not only that, when they were swept by his gaze, their bodies would also tremble visibly stiffen.
The behavior of the people around him made Zhang Lisheng have a satisfied expression on his face. At the same time, the strengthened gravity in the stadium disappeared again. At that instant when the gravity changed, many slender girls, old people, and people with hidden diseases in the audience seats suddenly bled from their ears and fell to the ground, losing their breath.
After that, these corpses that had just died floated up again. When they rose into the air, they were twisted into meat paste by an invisible force and turned into a rope of meat paste that continued to extend and be swallowed by the red eye in the sky.
"Lisheng, so you're actually such a 'tough' person. No wonder Sheila said that ordinary people don't even have the courage to open their eyes to take a look when you're angry!" Looking up at the red chains in the sky, Ellen, whose face had turned pale after being tortured by the abnormal gravity, suddenly whispered.
Zhang Lisheng smiled noncommittally and did not say anything. Ellen added, "I think the superpower of the eye in the sky may be psychokinesis."
"Psychokinesis?" When Zhang Lisheng heard the girl overturning his own guess, he asked in astonishment, "Isn't it some kind of superpower like gravity control?"
"Of course not! It's impossible for gravity control to twist a human corpse into meat paste …"
"I didn't say that the monster only mastered the power of gravity control."
When Ellen saw that the young man did not agree with her point of view, she, who was eager to show her own value, hesitated for a moment before saying resolutely, "Believe me, Lisheng, I have a very accurate eye when it comes to guessing the monster.
Judging from the torque of the strings made of human flesh sliding in the air and the power displayed by the big eye, its superpower can only be psychokinesis. "
"I've heard of psychokinesis before, but I don't know much about it." Upon hearing the girl's certainty, Zhang Lisheng looked at the horrifying big eye in the sky that had become more and more three-dimensional and clear after absorbing human flesh for the second time and asked, "Miss Ellen, do you know what its specific definition is?"
"Of course I do. In short, psychokinesis is the power to interfere with reality with consciousness," Ellen immediately gushed. "In fantasy stories, it's the simplest and most powerful superpower. To put it simply, it's just an invisible force that can make matter rise, fall, and move left and right.
Powerful means that as the power increases, theoretically, psychokinesis can be strengthened infinitely and can even be strong enough to destroy a planet.
Let's analyze the superpower used by the 'eye' in the air again. Firstly, it can make people feel that gravity is strengthened. This can be achieved by exerting pressure on matter.
Secondly, it can make the dead body fly in the air. In fact, it's dragging the matter up.
Thirdly, it can distort the corpse and turn it into meat paste. In fact, as long as a force is applied in different directions at different points of the matter, it can be easily crushed.
Lastly, it can suck the meat paste into the shadow. This can undoubtedly be done easily with an invisible force. All of these can be explained by psychokinesis. "
"Miss Ellen, your speculation does make some sense," Zhang Lisheng pondered for a while and said, "But it's a little outrageous to use something imagined by humans to explain a monster that appears in reality."
"Lisheng, many of the people who enriched the Dungeons and Dragons rules and the Cthulhu Mythos are very outstanding scientists. I'm also a physics major at Harvard.
I can tell you with certainty that many of the imaginary superpowers have gone through strict scientific calculations, including psychokinesis, "Ellen retorted in a low voice.
The instant she finished speaking, Tina, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly chimed in, "Baby, what Ellen said makes sense. Even though I've never played the Dungeons and Dragons board game before and don't understand the Cthulhu Mythos, I've often seen psychokinesis in sci-fi movies and soap operas. Compared to those imaginary superpowers, it's indeed more likely to be true."
"Is that so, Tina …" Zhang Lisheng valued his girlfriend's opinion more than Ellen's speculation in his heart. He looked at the few young people who were becoming more and more dazzling standing at the eight sharp corners of the octagonal diamond formation formed by the black-clothed people on the lawn and said thoughtfully.
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly saw the light on one of the eight powerful lightbulb-like black-clothed people began to weaken slowly.
As one of the diamond-shaped octagonal corners gradually lost its brilliance, dark clouds began to gather in the sky above the stadium. Not long after, lightning flashed above the huge eyeball.
In the midst of the lightning and thunder, a hoarse and deep voice resonated quietly, clearly filling every corner of the Harvard Stadium. "Believer, as the sage who worships me, how dare you change the Pledger that I've chosen so casually?!"
