Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 143 143. Flying
In the next two days, Dean received a diploma made of high-gloss coated paper and an eye-catching transcript in advance through the relationship of Principal Lanz.

The content of the certificate is very simple:
Nevada State High School officially awards students Dean Lu high school diplomas.

1981.6.20, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Then there are the signatures of the principal and other relevant leaders.

It is only June 6th, and Dean has received his graduation certificate earlier than most students.

"You're not going to the graduation ceremony?"

Ruster curiously rubbed his friend's graduation certificate,
After the old American high school graduation ceremony, it means that students have to leave home to study in a farther place, or move out of their parents' house to live independently, so high school graduation ceremony is more important than any other graduation ceremony, including university.

Parents of the students usually go to the school to watch the ceremony. After the ceremony, they hold a graduation party for their children at home and invite relatives and friends to celebrate together.

Some friends will give some small gifts and gift money, and parents will give their graduated children a car or a trip.

"I've already attended the prom, and all the photos that should be taken together have been taken together." Dean shook his head, "My uncle is not here, so there is no need to do it."

Rust's face darkened after hearing this, and he and the graduation ceremony had no relatives to watch the ceremony.

"Be happy, buddy, and after the graduation ceremony is over, let's go to the graduation party at Gretchen's house to join in the fun."

"OK."

"By the way, I have spoken to Lawyer Lukeville from the French Law Firm. He will help you with the claim, but be mentally prepared. It may take several months to get the result." Dean threw the car keys away. past,
The female lawyer who found Ruster last time and claimed to help him claim against Al Darris was just a disguise of the man Vadona in Clayty's team.

And Dean killed Donna, and Rust's claim consultant was gone. As compensation, Dean helped him find a more suitable lawyer.

Watching Ruster leave.

Dean put his graduation certificate and report card into the fantasy space, came to the deck chair in the yard, enjoyed the lazy morning sun, and sank into the system.

……

"Shadow of the Past" lv1 (200/200), the handwriting began to be blurred like tadpoles floating in the water, but soon condensed again.

Shadow of the Past lv2 (0/300)

Skill up, you gain 0.5 spirit,

Spirit: 17.6 → 18.1.

hiss…

north!
North!

The "North Side" of Mare Fark!
Dean shuddered all over, and subconsciously hammered his temples vigorously to dispel the auditory hallucinations that sounded like electric current in his mind.

Another line of text flashed before my eyes——

Because of the special reward you chose, with this upgrade, Shadow of the Past's telekinetic ability will be greatly enhanced on the original basis.

……

The pitch-black figure fell in front of Dean. Under the sunlight, the contours around the body were like wisps of vital mist constantly surging in a small area.

And that face was not dull and lifeless like ordinary ghosts, with lively eyes and lifelike features, not inferior to Clyty's ghost at all.

"how do you feel?"

Dean asked through telepathy.

"It was very comfortable and my mind became very clear... I remembered part of the lost memory again."

"Shadow" looked at his body filled with black arcs with bright eyes, and the joy of being reborn was on his face.

Obviously, after upgrading his skills, his mind has recovered a lot.

It used to be a child who was about ten years old, but now—

Dean gave an order.

"Shadow" stretched out his hand toward the window ten meters away on the second floor behind the yard like a conditioned reflex.

The invisible force of thought rolled up a 12th grade reading workbook and a pen flew out of the window and landed in front of the shadow.
"Shadow" sat cross-legged on the grass, and focused on doing the reading questions. If you ignore the black body, he is a diligent middle school student.

A quarter of an hour later.

The book was handed over to Dean, and Dean checked the answers with reference to the answers like a teacher. The handwriting was beautiful, and the answers were right and wrong.

"Now the mind is probably at the level of fifteen or sixteen years old."

This is a good thing. With the recovery of "Shadow"'s intelligence, it can understand more complex commands, such as tracking and intimidation, and can adapt to the orders issued by Dean in some cases, instead of being rigid in the past.

"Can you speak now?"

"As long as you allow, we can communicate by voice, but I'm more used to telepathy." "Shadow" made a cold mechanical male voice,

"What are your thoughts and wishes now?" Dean stared at the face that closely resembled his own, but more immature, as if locked in, "honestly speaking, this is an order."

"Your order is my wish and my innate mission." Ying glanced at him calmly, like a knight in uniform kneeling on one knee to offer his loyalty to the supreme king.

Dean couldn't help but took out his unnecessary sword and tapped him on the shoulder.

"No idea? Like finding your missing parents Lena and Guangming, like seeing the ghost of your girlfriend Mona again? As long as you say it, I will immediately fulfill your wish."

"If this is your wish, I will obey it." Ying's answer was impeccable, "It is an honor to complete every order of yours, and I can get great pleasure and a sense of accomplishment from it."

Dean became more and more curious. The system didn't know what kind of magical power could transform a powerful ghost into obeying its own orders.

But he never has to worry about betrayal.

"Can you read my mind and my heart?"

"Unless you take the initiative to reveal it to me... otherwise not."

"Can you sense the outside world when you live in the shackles or hide in my body?"

"I can't at all, I'm falling asleep in it."

So don't worry about privacy leaks.

Next, it was the turn of the main event, to test the enhanced telekinetic power of "Shadow".

Sensing Dean's thoughts, "Shadow" immediately turned to the large object covered with canvas in the corner of the yard, and waved its dark arm lightly across a distance of more than ten meters.

The canvas was lifted and fell to the ground, revealing a simple black motorcycle, Dean's usual car after mimicking.

"Shadow" locked his eyes on the black motorcycle, separated his hands on both sides, and slowly bent hard, as if he was holding something——

An amazing scene appeared!

An invisible force wrapped around the motorcycle and instantly lifted it off the ground, suspended at a height of about half a meter, and moved around the yard at a very slow speed, like an old man walking with a cane.

Dean watched the scene and nodded.

Before the upgrade, "Ying" relied on telekinetic power to lift an object of more than ten kilograms at most, but now this motorcycle is almost 200kg, and the strength has increased by more than ten times!
Already not inferior to the ghost Alexander Raphael.

"accelerate!"

Dean gave the order.

The speed at which the motorcycle floated around the yard changed from "an old man's slow walk" to "a normal person's walk".

"Accelerate at full speed!"

swish swish—

The shrubs around the yard trembled slightly with the breeze, and the speed of the motorcycle changed from "walking" to "trotting".

"How long can you maintain the full output state?"

"Until I disappear."

"Fine. Now, hold up that Bronco."

But this time, no matter how "Shadow" activates his thought power, the two-ton car does not move at all. Instead, Ying stood still and fell into a state of sluggishness because he exceeded the limit.

Dean thought about it, thinking power is like a muscle, with a certain degree of flexibility, if it is stretched too much and too fast at one time, it will break.

"Then use your thoughts to lift me up."

Dean felt a soft air covering his whole body, and then he lifted his feet off the ground, and in a slight trance, he flew to the window on the second floor, and through the window put the bed and bookshelf in his bedroom panoramic view.

But he moves his limbs comically from side to side, like an astronaut floating in a space capsule.

"Go a little to the left and push harder."

Dean continued to micromanage through commands, and relying on the balance brought by his own superhuman sensitivity, he quickly stood firmly in the air five meters away, opened his hands, took a deep breath, and looked outside the fence, at the small buildings across the road. The building is extremely small.

"Stop, let me down, let's change places."

In order to avoid leaking secrets, Dean put on a watch, beer cans, and various props, and left the block to a remote and dense forest in the back mountain.

"Shadow" released his thoughts to support him to float up into the sky cautiously.

five meters from the ground.

ten meters.

20 m.

Dean flew lightly to the top of a tree. The high-altitude wind was fierce and cold, scraping against his skin like steel needles, causing waves of stinging pain.

As soon as he lowered his head, there was a lush green under his feet, and the jagged and undulating trees stretched straight into the sky. Looking ahead, there were clumps of emerald green dotted among the continuous khaki low mountains in the distance.

Turning around, the steel jungle composed of densely packed high-rise buildings in downtown Las Vegas all bowed to him in salute.

"Cool!" Dean experienced the wonderful weightlessness. He spread his hands at a height of 20 meters, tapped his toes lightly on the canopy of the tree, and then swayed back and forth a few steps alternately, like a light kung fu master in a martial arts movie in his previous life.

"Can it go any higher?"

Dean issued an order, and the "Shadow" who was standing on the ground suddenly flew up and turned into a ghost armor to envelop him.

Huhu——

Dean's height from the ground rose again.

30 m.

40 m.

50 m.

The temperature began to drop rapidly.

The strong wind was blowing, the green forest under his feet became smaller and smaller, and the surrounding air was a little thinner.

"Woooh..."

Dean's eyes were slit by the wind, and his face began to distort. He shouted,

"Can it go any higher?"

"As long as I don't disappear, I can take you all the way up."

"That is to say, there is no pressure to fly to an altitude of one, two hundred meters or even thousands of meters!"

Dean was surprised.

If according to common sense, "shadow" releases a force that lifts him up, then "shadow" itself must bear the reaction force.

The telekinetics seem to break this physical rule.

"It's really an unscientific force."

"But there is no need to challenge the limit height now, no need to continue to rise, fly forward!"

Dean gave an order, and "Shadow" immediately led him to soar like a bird at a height of 50 meters.

The speed is not fast, about five meters per second.

"Shadow" senses Dean's thoughts synchronously, and can fly him to any desired position, and let him stand upside down, rotate, float in mid-air, walk in space, and make all kinds of fancy movements as he likes.

"I, Dean, finally fly!"

Under the special environment at high altitude, the adrenaline soared, and the heart was beating violently like a drum to jump out of the chest. The strong stimulation and excitement made Dean roar with red face!
Hearty feeling arises spontaneously!

Rock climbing, skydiving, and F1 racing are all weak compared to manipulating mind power flying, and wingsuit flying can probably be compared.

"This is the game a man should play!"

Dean played around imitating Superman for a quarter of an hour, then he lowered his body and landed smoothly back to the grass in the forest.

"From now on, I will fly for half an hour every day!"

Dean hesitated to make a decision.

His bold attempt also discovered some strengths and weaknesses of mind flying.

The weakness is that the movement speed is too slow, much slower than his full running.

But there are also many advantages, and the flying ability is full of strategic significance.

Dean came up with several usages almost instantly.

Escape——

Fleeing from the ground to a height of several hundred meters, unless the enemy has long-range strike capabilities, or has flying equipment that is ready to fly in advance, they can only watch Dean escape.

attack--

The telekinetic power lifts the enemy up into the sky, and then throws it down from the height.

Projected upwards in the universe, the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, even steel and iron bones will be smashed into pieces!

sneak into--

Generally, a heavily guarded building will be surrounded by walls and power grids, and surveillance cameras will be placed in all directions.

If you want to enter from the ground, it is very difficult.

But Dean can take advantage of the night to fly to a height of [-] meters above the top of the building, then slowly descend, landing on the roof of the building, and sneak in smoothly.

And the flight of mind is not like helicopters, parachutes, and hot air balloons that will make huge movements.

It is silent and extremely concealed!
……

Of course, there are many other uses of telekinetic flight waiting to be discovered.

Dean began experimenting with the rest of the functions.

Psychic Barrier——

"Shadow" released the power of thoughts, and went all out to construct a barrier to wrap a soft pillow under the palm tree.

Dean then holds up the Colt M1911A1, loads the .45ACP, takes aim and fires.

Boom!

Two shots.

The bullets buzzed, and the two warheads seemed to hit a sponge, and were instantly bounced off and fell into the thick humus layer.

The Psychic Shield was crumbling, but the pillow under protection was intact.

boom!
Third shot.

There was a "boom" in the air.

The psychic shield shattered into yellow light like glass, and clusters of white goose feathers floated out from the breach of the shattered pillow.

"So, the mind power turned into a barrier and full protection can withstand two shots. 45ACP..."

Dean withdrew his gun, thoughtful, this kind of protection is far inferior to the ghost armor of the "shadow" incarnation.

With the blessing of the 18.1 mental attribute, the Specter Armor has been able to eat hundreds of rifle bullets in a short period of time.

But the Psychic Shield has a supporting role and can help Dean protect other people.

Experiment with the shield.

Next is the impact of thought power——

Dean arranged a dozen cans of Tropicana in a row.

"Shadow" launched continuous attacks.

Bang bang bang!
The sound of explosions continued, and the cans kept bursting into big holes. They were blasted several meters away by the force, and the crystal wine was splashed into the air, reflecting colorful rainbow light
"Using the shock of thought power to hit the temple, throat, lower body and other vital points is enough to seriously injure or even kill ordinary people without anyone noticing."

But directly attacking the target with mind power is very wasteful, another way is more efficient——

"Shadow" locks on the dharma board, and the power of thought drives it into the air, making a whirring sound of breaking through the air, and turns into a silver light to shuttle quickly through the forest.

Dean held his breath and focused his attention, trying his best to catch it, but he was dazzled and couldn't keep up.

"Thinking force manipulates light sharp weapons to attack, and the movement speed can reach 40 to [-] meters per second."

Killing is silent, turning at will, accelerating and decelerating, more flexible than firearms.

Ordinary people were pierced to the core when they couldn't react.

……

"breathe…"

Suppress the big surprise.

Next, Dean tested the ability of "Shadow" to vibrate, rotate, twist, and break objects again.

As well as its own data, the speed and power of "Shadow" is still almost twice that of Dean.

Once under the blessing of 16 points of spirit, the maximum time limit of "Shadow" was about 20 minutes, and the range of movement away from Dean was 36 meters.

The spirit breaks through 18 points, the maximum duration has skyrocketed to 50 minutes, and the extreme activity distance has increased to 80 meters.

More than doubled!
It is more than enough to deal with any battle, and the intermittent summons can basically last a day.

"Shadow" has evolved from a trump card to a "conventional weapon".

……

Moreover, while "Shadow" turns into a ghost armor to protect him, he can also use his mind to manipulate weapons distractedly, or turn into a shield, and Dean himself can also attack and defend.

"Shadow of the Past", Psychic power, Dean, the trinity, the offensive and defensive coordination.

Dean's strength has reached a new level.

……

His spirit sinks into the system.

……

"Now my development has been excessively biased towards the shadow of the past of the spiritual attribute, and my other physical attributes are too far behind, especially the attributes of perception, strength, and will. But I can't just rely on this superpower."

Although blindly improving the highest attribute can quickly increase the combat power, just as Clayty focuses on improving the spirit, the power of the mind is so strong that it can be crushed.

However, this self-cultivation method has obvious flaws and short boards-excessive lack of survivability, battery life, and adaptability, and it is easy to lose control of the mind and lose its mind in battle.

Dean possesses more than one superpower, including most of the attributes. He has the conditions and foundation for all-round development. He is more willing to fly physically and mentally, and has strong survivability and lethality.

"In the future, focus on improving willpower, strength, and perception, and strive to become a hexagonal warrior!"
