Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 183 183. Superpower Teaching, Mimic lv2
living room.

Dean nodded slightly, and the glass in Hope's hand opposite the low table was suddenly pulled into his hand by an invisible force, so stable that not a drop of tea leaked out.

Hope rubbed his cheeks vigorously, took a deep breath, "It's hidden deep enough, I didn't realize that the two people under the same roof are superpowers. How did you get the power of mind?"

"It's genetic in a way."

"Inherited? But Paque said that your parents are ordinary people."

"Paqui doesn't know the inside story. When the two of them were pregnant with me, they participated in the brain expansion project of the Hawkins laboratory, which deeply affected me." Dean said, looking at the shadow beside him.

"Jane's mother Terry also underwent experiments to give birth to her super-powerful child. You two are really brothers and sisters." Hope reluctantly accepted this reality, but her face was still a little confused, "So I found you Where are the parents?"

"There are clues." Dean nodded and looked towards Jane's bedroom. "After I train Jane for half a month to help her strengthen her self-defense, I will leave Hawkins Town to find someone."

"Leave? Do you know how much she relies on you now!" Hope showed displeasure, "Are you so cruel that you just leave her and go away?"

"Don't get excited, buddy, I'm not leaving forever, I'll come back to visit you occasionally." Dean was also a little helpless in his words. The experience and lessons in Las Vegas had already made him determined not to stay in one place for too long Time, and it has been more than a month since I came to Hawkins. "Besides, I can't help it. Jane and I are both superpowers. If we stay together for too long, the 'law of supernatural convergence' will inevitably be induced, which will implicate her and you."

"What a mess of converging law, it's quite bluffing, just go, I can take care of Jane by myself, but for the next half month, you should spend more time with her."

"kindness."

"Now go back to your bedroom and leave me alone."

Hope was too shocked, lit the cigarette he hadn't smoked for a long time, sat by the window and watched the night digest the information in his mind.

……

The next evening.

Dean led Jane in a baseball shirt, took a bunch of auxiliary tools into the yard, and turned on the lights in the corridor.

"Jane, do you remember the promise last night? Come to practice superpowers today." Dean put a walkie-talkie on Jane's shoulder.

The girl gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Now, first test the range of thought power."

Dean put a soda can on the other side of the yard 10 meters away, and let Jian Jian try to hold the soda can as far away from his body as possible with his mind.

Jane fixed her eyes on the experimental product, and the soda can flew into the night sky with a whoosh, leaving a faint trace that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye.

Dean quickly picked up the tape measure and chased it out while measuring.

20m, 30m...40m...180m...

The cans lingered 180 meters away from Jane.

"Can we continue?" Dean asked into the intercom on his shoulder,

"Let me try."

A girl's stubborn voice came from the intercom.

The cans continued to fly far away, and stopped at 200 meters.

"Stop, wipe your nosebleeds and rest."

"Around 200 meters, if Jane's emotions explode, she should be able to go further." Dean had to lament the importance of talent.

After he absorbed 0.5 spirit last time, the maximum mind power range of 'Shadow' was expanded to 100 meters, which was only half of Jane's.

"Next, let's try the strength of our thoughts."

A round of moon in the sky casts hazy light.

The nine-year-old girl stood in a quiet courtyard, her fair face tensed, her eyes swept across a pile of objects.

From left to right, there are cans, pots, solid wood chairs, children's bicycles, motorcycles, Bronco, and finally Hope's Chevrolet. She easily lifted the first four things at the same time and let them circle the yard One lap.

Starting with motorcycles, the difficulty gradually increases.

Feeling the pressure, she no longer stood there stupidly, but separated her hands from left to right, hung them back, and folded her five fingers together into eagle claws, grasping something in the air.

The motorcycle hovered wobbly to a height of two meters in the air and circled. Amid the sound of whirring and piercing the air, the speed of the motorcycle was so fast that it formed a series of afterimages.

The grass and shrubs all over the yard bowed with it.

"Move faster than me." Dean let go of God's perspective to observe, "It's a pity that it's unstable."

The motorcycle kept bouncing up and down.

Pfft!
A black light flashed in midair.

The motorcycle fell to the ground and smashed a big hole in the lawn.

Jane turned to the Bronco, which weighed more than 1.5 tons, gritted her teeth, blushed, and barely lifted the car into a circle in mid-air.

But the rotation speed is less than half that of a motorcycle.

"Jane, think of the car as a scary monster in the black field of your mind, it's going to attack you, lift it up!"

"quick!"

Amid Dean's urging, Jane looked at the second Chevrolet in horror, her taut little face began to twist, her teeth bared like a hungry wolf cub, and her mouth roared.

puff.

The Chevrolet soars into the air, suspended side by side with the Bronco.

The two steel shells with a total weight of more than three tons were lifted up into the air by the little girl and slowly turned.

Beads of sweat oozed down the smooth skin of her cheeks and dripped onto the grass along her chin.

The majestic power of thoughts surrounded her and the car, curled up her slightly longer hair, slapped her forehead mischievously, and made her trouser legs bulge and tighten.

Circles of green grass and dust rose from the ground and filled her body, forming green ribbons.

Dean's eyes were shining brightly, "Shadow" can lift a ton of weight with the power of thought, and Jane can lift a weight of 3 tons without any problem.

If this power of thought is developed in a targeted manner, the lethality will be unimaginable!

……

half a minute.

Jane's ruddy face turned snow-white due to excessive exertion, she panted heavily, and sat down on her buttocks.

The two cars landed heavily, and among the grass clippings flying, eight large pits appeared on the verdant lawn of the yard.

"What are you two doing, don't wreck my police car!"

Immediately, Hope's nervous shout came from the window,

"Don't worry, we are doing maintenance on your car."

Dean smiled, walked over to wipe Jane's sweat and nosebleeds, and handed her a glass of warm water.

"Me, how is my ability?"

"Cool, you're a genius, better than me."

The little girl who was praised narrowed her eyes and smiled like a flower.

"But Jane, do you know that there are more than our two superpowers in this world." Dean said meaningfully,
"Ah, there are other companions?" The little girl sat on the side of the corridor and raised her head to look at Dean. There was a hint of eagerness in her eyes. She couldn't wait to make new friends.

"No, they are not companions, most of them are not friendly, not even human, more terrifying than monsters."

monster?

Jane's body trembled.

"They won't all like you and protect you like I do." Dean continued to threaten, "They are full of malice and treat us as prey, food, and enemies. They will actively attack us, hurt us, and even kill us. When the time comes, you Will never be able to watch cartoons, eat your favorite pasta, ride a bike in comfort."

The little girl's face grew more frightened.

"So, the first lesson people like us have to learn is not to obey orders, spy on others, or turn on light bulbs, but to use superpowers to protect ourselves," Dean said in a deep voice, wrapping her cold little hands in both hands , "Only by surviving can there be infinite possibilities!"

"Now I'll teach you how to use your thoughts to protect yourself..."

The girl looked confused,
"The research institute in the laboratory never taught you?"

"No, they asked me to cooperate with the experiment and find someone."

"These bastards completely treat you like a pig. Let's try the Psychic Armor first, release the Psychic Power to gently wrap the body. Let's start with the feet..."

"I'm covered."

"Take a step forward and try."

Pfft!
Jane fell straight on her face like a stick.

Dean grabbed her shoulders in time,

"I don't want you to entangle your two feet together. Think of Nianli as a pair of shoes... respectively wrapping the two feet below the ankle." Dean was amused and helpless,

"Okay, shoes, feet, I covered them!"

"OK, then jeans...clothes...don't tie your hands and legs this time."

"All right."

"Mask...glasses...hat..."

"I can't breathe! Dean, help!"

"God, leave a slit for the nose and mouth."

"How to stay, I can't imagine."

"... "

It took Dean a full half hour.

The saliva was dry, and the little girl finally learned the Psychic Armor in a hurry. It is transparent and light, and will not affect the normal activities of the body at all.

Like a breeze around the body.

But the intensity is not weak at all.

Dean tried to attack the little girl with soda cans, knives, and baseball bats, but was all firmly kept out.

Jane was unscathed and felt no pain.

After a few more days of training, you will be able to withstand firearm attacks.

In addition, although Jane's mind power is strong, her control power is extremely weak, and she cannot maintain the armor for nearly an hour like Dean manipulated the shadow.

In 2 minutes, Jane's body armor collapsed automatically.

……

"It's not bad that it lasted so long for the first time," Dean rubbed her unwilling face. "Next, let's try another defense mode—psychic barrier."

"You shaped the power of thought into a huge egg shell, have you ever seen an egg shell?"

"Uh-huh."

"The egg shell covers your body, and you can control its thickness and strength by further instilling or withdrawing thought power at any time... But there are gains and losses. The defense power and defense range of the thought power barrier are greater than that of armor, but they are cumbersome , it is inconvenient to move.”

Jane, who was standing there with her eyes closed, raising her hands to weave egg shells, suddenly turned pale, showing a distressed expression like suffocation,
"Dean, I can't breathe!"

"Why don't you learn your lesson? Leave a few breathing holes for the shell! By the way, do you have to raise your hand when using your mind power?"

"I, my hand is moving by itself." Jane moved her little finger innocently,

"You're not Italian, you have to use hand movements to release your thoughts? You have to adapt to release without movements, otherwise the bad guys will preemptively attack you based on your movements."

……

Two hours later, Jane controlled her little hand, which had nowhere to rest, and learned to release the Psychic Armor and Barrier expressionlessly, basically succeeding within four seconds.

It is far from Dean's instant call, so he can only train slowly.

……

"These two defense methods, practice more every day when you are bored at home, this can greatly enhance the control of mind power."

Jane's eyes sparkled and she nodded heavily.

Dean said happily, "Next, I will teach you another way to escape—"

Under the curious eyes of the little girl, Dean in the middle of the yard snapped his fingers, and the shadow of the past behind him suddenly activated his thoughts and lifted him up slowly from the ground.

Fly to a height of five meters.

Dean took a deep breath, feeling the cold wind and cool air at high altitude, overlooking the dark forest below, looked up at the girl coming over, and smiled.

Jane's neck was sore, her mouth was O-shaped, but there was a strange brilliance in her eyes.
"How did you become a bird?"

"Mind power works. Listen, imagine mind power as a cloud, dragging you up."

"I, I can't do it!" Jane shook her head hurriedly,

"You can! Trust me!"

Jane took a deep breath and looked at her feet.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

At a certain moment, her body froze for a moment, and she slowly got up off the ground, but kept bumping and shaking, just like a child who just learned to walk.

Her expression became very exciting, and she kept gasping in surprise.

"I'm flying, Dean!"

"Woh!"

She opened her hands, separated her feet, tried her best to maintain her center of gravity, and flew in front of Dean, showing a smug and carefree smile,
But she was obviously too happy, and her feet trembled at the same time.

The whole person lost his balance all of a sudden, his head fell down, his feet were thrown back, and he was suspended in mid-air in a funny posture with his head on his feet.

Be like a toddler version of an astronaut in a space capsule without gravity and body control!
"I can't control it, I can't move!"

She frantically moved her hands and feet, but her limbs became too stiff, and her limbs became more and more chaotic. Her body spun in mid-air like a spinning top, unable to return to a normal resting posture.

"The more tense, the bigger the problem, relax your body!"

"Take a deep breath, inhale, exhale."

Dean walked around her and rubbed his chin, his face was stunned,
"Body balance is too poor, so I can't maintain a normal posture in mid-air."

Yes, Dean was able to easily fly up with the help of Ying's thought power. It was because of his super balance ability brought about by his inhuman agility, which allowed him to perfectly adjust his weight in the weightless state with his feet hanging in the air. body posture.

Ordinary telekinetics must go through a rigorous and lengthy training if they want to fly as freely as he does.

Dean flew over to help Jane up, and the girl pulled him with trembling little hands,
"Dean, am I dreaming? I can really fly!"

"This is not a dream, do you like it?"

"Hmm," Jane looked at the lawn under her feet, as well as the shrinking cars and bicycles, with excitement and joy shining in her eyes.

In the Hawkins laboratory, superpowers are like a curse and poison to her, causing nosebleeds every time she uses them, always accompanied by various painful experiments.

She has been faintly rejecting superpowers in her heart, and she is extremely reluctant to use them every time.

But here, for the first time, she gets pleasure from superpowers.

Superpowers seem to have gone from being a curse to a blessing, a beneficial gift!
Dean glanced at the progress of the skyrocketing incident and nodded, "Take my hand and fly forward slowly with me."

The night is hazy, under the moonlight.

A small figure or two began to slowly float around the forest sky.

Dean continued to teach her how to balance in mid-air step by step as he had first taught her to ride a bicycle.

Progress is very slow.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that Jane could barely maintain her balance and hover in mid-air.

But as long as she moves a centimeter, she immediately makes a fool of herself.

Even so, her face was flushed with joy, and she yelled excitedly from time to time during the whole process.

"It's almost the end of today, Jane, let's go down, let's continue training tomorrow."

Dean felt that the 60 minutes of the film's existence time was about to be exhausted, so he returned home with the little girl who was excited and tired.

Guiding this newcomer is also very rewarding for him. He can lay a solid foundation, further refine the manipulation of mind power, and obtain more ideas for the use of mind power.

"You're having so much fun, when will you bring me one?" Hopra, who was peeping by the window, closed the curtains, looked over with eyes like copper bells, with a hint of jealousy in a melancholy expression,
"Come and fly together tomorrow." Jane walked over and grabbed Hope's big rough hand. The sheriff was elated for a moment, smiled lovingly and patted her little head.

"I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have superpowers, I can only cheer you on. I'm tired today, take a shower and go to bed early, what do you want to eat tomorrow morning?"

"I want to eat hot dogs, milk oats!"

……

Before going to bed, Dean came to Jane's bedroom and taught her part of the Red Dragon Meditation, but it was just a simplified version without the difficult set of yoga moves.

After all, Jane's current physical fitness is too poor, and she can't do a single movement. She can only do the most basic supporting breathing and visualization.

……

"Relax your body to the most comfortable and stress-free posture, breathe in rhythmically for three seconds, hold your breath for four seconds, and exhale for seven seconds..."

"Imagine sitting on a grassland that stretches as far as the eye can see, looking up at the bright night sky and twinkling stars."

"One of the planets emitting a red light has firmly attracted your attention..."

"You feel the special magnetic field of this star, and you and it are attracted to each other, getting closer and closer."

"Your spirit, will, body, everything tangible and intangible, are drawn by it along with beams of starlight."

"Its atmosphere and gravity filter impurities from you."

"Return the essence to you..."

In Dean's eloquent voice.

The little girl covered by the quilt closed her eyelids, breathing slowly, and the soft light illuminated the healthy blush on her face and the blinking eyelashes.Then, a faint snoring sounded.

"Uh…"

Falling asleep after practicing meditation?
Dean helplessly closed the quilt for her.

...

Next, half a month passed quickly, and the time came to a morning in early September.

this time.

In addition to his own training and looking for news about No. 8 Carly every day, Dean gave Jane a long lesson in mind power. The little girl might have felt something, studied hard and earnestly, and successfully mastered the secret of mind power defense. Summon armor and barriers within.

She could barely maintain balance and fly with telekinesis, and her speed was not as fast as two or three meters per second, but her potential was endless and she would surpass Dean sooner or later.

In addition, Jane learned a way to attack with mind power, because directly using mind power to attack the enemy is inefficient and too wasteful.

Dean carefully selected a special weapon for her - a throwing knife.

Her powerful mind can control three throwing knives at one time, and all of them accelerate to 170m/s, easily penetrating the vital parts of the human body.

It's just that Dean gave her a ban, and she can't shoot living things at the moment.

In addition, after two months of training, Jane was finally able to barely enter the meditation state, but she couldn't see the "red dragon", and would fall into a deep sleep every time she maintained it for 10 minutes.

Meditation has brought great benefits to Jane, and it has improved her negative symptoms of using superpowers... she no longer suffers from nosebleeds when performing mild telekinetic behaviors such as manipulating throwing knives.

Meditation has also stabilized her mental state a lot, and she is in peace and joy every day, full of energy, waiting for Dean and Hope to fulfill their promise to see their mother for half a month.

……

It's not just Jane growing up.

Dean, who was in charge of teaching, also gained something. He repeatedly reviewed his skills and his ability to manipulate shadows was further trained, and he achieved greater goals with less thought power.

The most intuitive thing is that his maximum flying speed has risen to seven meters per second.

In addition, various abilities have also been exercised,
Fighting lv3 (90→100/400)

Shooting lv3 (330→340/400),

Shadow of the Past lv2 (50→61/300)
Red Dragon Meditation lv2 (240→280/300)

Simulated lv1 (170→200/200)
System Capabilities:

Limbo prison shuttle lv0 (charging progress: 98/100)

……

"almost."

Dean glanced at Hope and Jane who were chatting in the ancestral house, drove the car into the woods where there was no one, and stared at the + sign behind the simulation.

upgrade.

Simulated lv1 → lv2 (0/300).

Blood duplication time: 4 hours → half an hour.

Simulated maximum duration: 4 days → half a month.

Mimic cooldown: 4 days → 1 day.

You gain 1 point of stamina.

Physique: 16.1 → 17.1.

The sunlight through the car window illuminated Dean's red cheeks, his temples were bulging high, and the blood vessels and veins on his neck protruded abnormally, like hemp ropes twisted repeatedly.

The muscles in his body contracted as if alive.

Pfft!
Pfft!
The heart beat violently, as if it was about to jump out of the chest, sending the blood as hot as a flame to all parts of the body, and Dean seemed to be locked in an invisible furnace.

The powerful heat rushing to all parts of his body caused bursts of white hot steam to emerge from his standard cropped hair.

The internal organs, skin and bones are strengthened and strengthened silently under the heat.

5 minute later.

breathe…

Dean's body, which was stretched like a block of iron, relaxed, and sweat covered his heroic and handsome cheeks.

He wiped off his sweat, feeling the powerful heartbeat.

He clenched his fist suddenly, and vigorous vitality flowed through his blood vessels.

He casually took out a knife from the space, and slashed fiercely at his forearm!
puff...

There was only a faint white mark left on the tip of the knife, but the skin couldn't be scratched.

"Now it is very difficult for ordinary people to hurt me with cold weapons."

In addition, after this simulation upgrade, the cooldown time was drastically shortened to 1 day, and the maximum duration soared to half a month.

This means that Dean can transform almost without interruption. He has become a real man with many faces, and it will be much more convenient for him to do some dangerous things in the future.

So proficiency improves efficiency?
……

On the window glass.

The skin on that Asian face swelled like a balloon, and wriggled and deformed like soft plasticine.

"Hiss... the pain of transforming has eased. No, it's because my tolerance for pain has increased."

"And the transformation activation time has been shortened."

Five seconds.

Dean turned into a Sulian with blond hair, blue eyes, a high nose, and sunken eyes. He was one of the spies he had killed.

Dean looked at the watch and the changes in his proficiency, and from time to time he took out snacks from the space and stuffed them into his mouth to replenish the energy he had consumed.

two hours later.

Dean frowned.

"Less proficiency."

In just half an hour, the skill proficiency increased by 1 point to lv2 (1/300) and then stopped moving.

"So now each transformation can only take half an hour to gain 1 point of proficiency?" Dean's face was gloomy, and the excitement at the beginning gradually disappeared.

The cooling time of the mimicry is that it can be transformed once every two days at the fastest in one day, and it can be transformed [-] times a month to get a maximum of [-] points of proficiency.

"The next time the simulation is upgraded it will be 20 months later."

"But this is normal. With such an incredible ability, the difficulty will naturally become more and more difficult."

……

After sorting out the harvest of ability upgrades.

Dean looked into the system: the caged bird—130 percent.

Submit anytime.

"Take Jane to visit Teri tomorrow, harvest the progress of the last wave of events, and then withdraw the rewards."

"Then it's time for me to go."
