Chapter 729
After killing someone for the first time, Ren Xiu's mentality had changed. At this moment, she understood some of Lei Ang's teachings.
When you kill your own kind, your actions and thoughts would become different from those of a normal human. For this reason, an Assassin needed to be more qualified, or else it would only bring about disaster.
Because at this point, one's view of life would change uncontrollably, as one would realize the fragility of life like never before.
A single incantation, a single small action, or even a single word could cause a fragile human life to be lost.
Because of that, whether one valued or underestimated life would depend on one's own experiences and thoughts.
Fortunately, Ren Xiu had Lei Ang's teachings, so it was because she realized the fragility of life that she understood how precious it was.
This is how I can become a true Assassin. As Ren Xiu read the information she received from the release of her [Origin], she had finally obtained her own supernatural ability.
[Origin] originated from one of the three symbols of Negri, the Mist of Indeterminacy, a symbol of emotion and the truth of the path of change.
Because of this, combined with Ren Xiu's current state of mind and body, the [Origin] she formed was a disintegrating strike.
Each time she attacked, she would add a layer of change to something else, and when the change overlapped to a certain extent, that thing would completely collapse.
This came from the fear she felt when the enemy attacked, as well as her desire to destroy the enemy's actions and protect her family.
Lightly tapping her finger on a nearby cup, Ren Xiu could feel that she had added something to it, and her will was able to use this invisible energy to change the cup.
Of course, with her current level of energy, destruction was the simplest and easiest thing to do. With a single thought, the energy of change would be applied to the cup, changing its structure and instantly shattering it.
Perhaps when Ren Xiu released her [Origin] one step further and obtained even more energy of change, she would be able to change far more than just destruction.
The police and the people from the Hunter's Guild quickly arrived. Black shadows could be seen flashing by outside the window. They were the paparazzi, who seemed to have captured something that excited them to the max.
Unsurprisingly, this also made it to the headlines that very night.
From the blurry image outside the window, one could see that someone was about to attack Eldest Brother Sun Xiaochuan, but Eldest Brother seemed to have already predicted it and placed his sword there, allowing him to easily pierce through the heart.
Ren Xiu also had a deeper understanding of the Lord of Paradox's curse after casting it.
A paradox is when the same proposition or inference on the surface contains two opposite conclusions, but both of these conclusions can be justified.
For example, one of the more famous paradoxes was the liar paradox.
That is to say, I am lying.
The liar paradox is rooted in the confusion between "right and wrong" and "true and false".
Another example was whether the chicken or the egg came first. This was also a paradox.
That was how Wang Yuan was formed. He appeared because of Negri, and Negri appeared because of him.
Therefore, Wang Yuan was both the predecessor of God and the successor of God.
The essence of paradox is confusion, confusion of the content and logic of thinking.
Therefore, the essence of the incantation, I am not I, is also confusion.
Turning my concepts into absolutes, turning my logic into absolutes. Then, I use this to form inequalities with the content of my thoughts to confuse people's thinking.
Who am I? Appearance, name, life aura, soul aura. If I have the same things as you, will I be you?
Just like that, the attacker, under the effect of the incantation, mixed up the concepts of you and me and automatically died.
This kind of incantation is not very powerful, but it can exert terrifying power at the critical moment.
Moreover, some of the Lord of Paradox's incantations have even more terrifying effects. Under the effect of those incantations, right and wrong, true and false, heaven and earth, fast and slow, and so on will be mixed up.
For example, Zeno's turtle incantation can make a thing, no matter how hard it tries, not be able to touch you.
No matter how fast the other party is, no matter how slow you are, as long as there is a distance between you, the other party can't touch you.
Other than that, there are all kinds of paradox incantations, which help the person who cast the incantation confuse the impossible into the possible.
Of course, paradoxes are not invincible. As long as someone can find the truth of the essence of things from the confusing logic, they can solve the paradox and no longer be affected by the paradox.
The attacker's identity was also found out. He was a fugitive from the Dajiang Group, an extremely violent criminal who killed numerous policemen and civilians while on the run, but unexpectedly, he was caught in Sun Xiaochuan's hands.
In short, Sun Xiaochuan once again became famous, his title of 'Unrivaled Swiftness Sword' was also confirmed, and countless people believed that he had supernatural abilities.
Ren Xiu also received even more intense training in Lei Ang.
Ren Xiu was still far from being qualified to fight head-on, so she needed to improve more in order to be able to protect herself in future battles.
Because Ren Xiu had already released her [Origin] and obtained supernatural abilities, her combat system was quickly established with Lei Ang's help.
With the enhancement of the paradox incantation and Ren Xiu's innate ability to conceal her presence, she was able to quickly disappear in front of most people. Furthermore, the existence of the [Disintegrating Strike] guaranteed her offensive capabilities.
Because of that, Ren Xiu stared blankly at the two pistols in her hands.
[The guns are custom-made, you can think of them as air guns. They can rapidly compress air into bullets, but because of that, they're not powerful enough, so they can't kill you unless they hit your vitals]
[When it hits a person's body, it's more likely to cause bruises through the impact]
[The advantages are that they have a high firing rate, no need to reload bullets, low recoil, etc. The disadvantages are that the firing rate is average, the firing range isn't enough, and the power is too low]
[However, after combining it with your abilities, this gun is quite suitable for you]
While holding the gun in her hands, the metallic texture gave off a sturdy and reliable feeling, but it wasn't actually that heavy, at least Ren Xiu could easily carry it.
She tried firing a shot at a target in the training center, but the air bullets didn't penetrate the target and only left a dent.
As for the firing rate, Ren Xiu discovered that the gun had a continuous firing function. Once the trigger was pressed, the air bullets would pour out in an instant. Within three seconds, the stored air would be emptied. A total of 18 bullets would be fired. After that, the gun would need to reload the air. The reloading speed was two bullets per second.
It was only after Ren Xiu had familiarized herself with dual pistols that she gradually stopped playing the role of a logistician and instead stayed by Lei Ang's side to help him deal with various anomalies.
At present, there were three general directions for the Hunter's Guild.
One was to maintain the stability of the areas under their control. At present, most of the world was under the control of the Hunter's Guild. Maintaining the stability of these areas and quickly cleaning up new anomalies were the daily tasks of most hunters.
One was to deal with areas in the living world that weren't under the control of the Hunter's Guild, such as some war-torn areas, where a large number of anomalies were still active.
The other was one of the biggest sources of anomalies, the Grand Library. The Grand Library's location had been gradually locked down, and it was now frantically throwing out all sorts of anomalies to interfere with other existences' tracking of its location. However, it was only a matter of time before it was found.
"Let's go, it's time to work!" Lei Ang quickly led Ren Xiu through the city and found the next anomaly.
Just like that, Ren Xiu entered her career as a field agent.
