EBE Chapter 317: The First Ring of Control
Chapter 317: The First Ring of Control
At this time, people in major cities began to pay attention to the coverage of the conference and learn about the upcoming participants.
"These two in A city are interesting, one old and one new. F and N are also new!"
In the cities that used to rank high, the awakeners usually remain the same for two or three years in a row. The top three in previous years are all old acquaintances, so people will just take a general look at them and won’t pay attention if there is nothing new. Then it will depend on whether this person can maintain his previous performance.
What attracts more attention is naturally the new faces to see if they are dark horses.
After looking at these popular ones, let’s take a look at the changes in the outer circle cities.
There was very little to report before the game, but we ended up seeing the report about Xincheng, which aroused everyone's interest.
"Since Ling Xiao became the director of Xincheng, the city's strength has been improving in recent years. How could it regress all of a sudden?"
At the beginning, Xincheng had no staff, but then it was able to participate in projects, and then it was among the top fifteen. Last year, someone competed for the top ten.
"The report only gave a few words, and the details were not clear. But the first project is the easiest. If you don't show confidence in such a basic ability as control, it's really a bit..."
"There's nothing to see. The higher up the ranking is, the harder it is to change. In a few years, maybe the new city will be able to rank higher."
But the citizens of the new city were furious when they saw it.
Other cities may not know, but how could we not know? Judging from previous rescue reports, would she be like the one described in this article?
This is a malicious smear campaign against Xincheng and Xincheng’s awakeners.
Normally, people would have different opinions, disagreements and conflicts with each awakener for various reasons, but under this external situation, the people in Xincheng became united as one.
The most popular message on all major platforms is: Come on everyone at Xincheng!
The second ranked sentence is: Come on, Zuo Xiuyan!
……
At 9:59, melodious music sounded in the venue and the audience stopped chatting.
Above the empty competition venue, golden letters suddenly appeared: The 21st Spiritual Construction and Analysis Seminar is about to begin!
The time was displayed below, and then a ticking sound was heard.
At 59 minutes and 50 seconds, the font and time disappeared, and a huge number 10 appeared.
With stronger knocking sounds, the numbers decreased, 9...8...
People began to count down, and when the number finally reached zero, the host flew into the air from the side of the venue amid heavy applause.
A huge light curtain was displayed in front of the audience stands, with an enlarged image of the host on it.
The light curtain does not block the venue, but is slightly above it, so the audience can see both the actual scene and the image magnified by the light curtain.
The host said in the middle: "Dear guests, dear audience friends, hello everyone!"
"The flourishing development of superpowers is constantly reshaping our world and expanding the boundaries of human cognition."
"Today, top awakeners from different cities have gathered together. We will witness the collision of ideas, the fusion of wisdom, and discuss the latest trends, major breakthroughs, and future directions of superpowers."
“Let us work together with an open mind, innovative spirit and firm belief to write a magnificent chapter of the leadership of special energy and create a better future together.”
"Now, I am very honored to announce that this conference is officially open!"
"We will now begin the first project, mind control. Please welcome the awakened ones to the stage."
The audience applauded violently and the host stepped aside to the ground.
Twenty awakeners in combat uniforms walked out of the door on the left, lined up in a small team from the beginning to the end in the order of the city, and walked to the front of the corresponding instruments.
A supervisor in uniform walked out of the right door and also came to the awakener.
Zuo Xiuyan looked at what was in front of him: an operating table and a display screen, behind which was a large white sphere that was half a person's height. There were many sunken dividing lines on the sphere, all of which were regular hexagonal shapes.
This is called a "spiritual imager", which can transform something invisible like the spirit into an understandable image and display it.
After the supervisor pressed the button next to the ball, the lines of the ball cracked with a click, then continued to stretch, and then continued to change and assemble.
It looks like half a capsule, not divided up and down, but cut vertically left and right, like an oval boat with various folded blocks inside.
Then the boat was divided into three parts, and it continued to stand up. The blocks inside also began to change, and finally formed a seat.
All the awakened ones walked towards their seats under the instructions of the supervisor.
You just need to sit on it, no need to wear a helmet or connect the ring buckle, it feels very high-end.
"Are you ready?" the supervisor asked.
"Okay." After Zuo Xiuyan responded, the supervisor operated on the operating table. With a slight buzzing sound, the floor around the imager moved away, revealing four long and narrow gaps.
A transparent glass-like protective shield rose up. It was made up of four semicircles that closed together at the highest point, sealing the top as well. This could isolate the outside world from noise and avoid other irrelevant mental fluctuations.
At this time, all the awakened people were ready and closed their eyes to make themselves more focused.
The host said, "The competition is divided into three parts in total."
"The first part will look at the persistence of the manipulation and the analysis of the mental makeup."
"The awakener will face 50 different kinds of spiritual energy. Try to crack as many as possible in a shorter time."
As soon as this was said, the audience started to discuss: "How come there are 50 species? Last year there were only 30 species."
"Because the awakened ones are growing faster and faster, and they have also researched new ways of forming their spirits."
At this moment, 20 mental imagers were activated at the same time.
In Zuo Xiuyan’s mind, he “saw” himself suddenly arriving in a pitch-black space.
But at this moment she was neither her real appearance nor a spiritual human body, but a ball of blue light.
This is a manifestation of spiritual energy. All her spiritual power is this ball of light.
Suddenly, a square white cube flashed in front of her.
Zuo Xiuyan knew that this was the first question he encountered. His mind moved towards the square, leaving a light blue afterimage trail where it passed.
Although it is just a simple block, it is made of spiritual energy. The spiritual power inside is like a framework, forming this block in a complex way.
What I need to do is to use my spirit to perceive the inside and clarify the composition. Then I can invade my own spirit and walk through it in the opposite way in one stroke to dissolve the energy.
The awakened ones cannot see the inside directly as they are covered by this skin-like surface. To them, everything is a mist.
But the audience outside could see it clearly. The interior of the cube was displayed in the center of the huge light screen.
It's like taking an X-ray and seeing the bones inside the human body.
The white spiritual energy formed dozens of horizontal and vertical lines like a building, which looked like messy pipes.
The audience just felt a headache after watching it. First of all, the composition is not simple, and you have to find the path.
Not only do you have to restore the entire framework in your mind, but you also have to find the starting point from it, which makes it much more difficult.
Zuo Xiuyan's blue light ball stuck to the cube and then began to penetrate into it from one side.
Her mind was like a searchlight, and she felt the horizontal and vertical obstructions, like an irregular network. She could not get more information, and could only feel the existence of the pipeline when she passed through a part of it.
If you restore from the surface, there will be too much to touch and remember at once. And if you start from a pipe at the bottom of any side, you will encounter a fork in the road after walking for a while.
If you suddenly turn right when you are walking sideways, and then turn right again, you will be back in a circle in a few seconds. You have to go in another direction again, not to mention that there is another road behind you.
It is like many "mountain" characters, combined in different directions, lengths and heights to form a three-dimensional pipeline group.
For Zuo Xiuyan, although he had a decent spatial awareness of things, he had not experienced much of this kind of practice. Although there was special training in the bureau, he was always busy with other things.
Compared with other awakened people, I am lacking in this aspect and will definitely be slower than others.
