After listening to Xia Shining's words, Jiang Ying had another doubt.

He folded his hands against his chin, and frowned slightly: "What is a superhuman being?"

Xia Shining thought for a while, "It seems to be referring to people whose mental power level is above S level. They will not be affected by the curse, and they will not easily have any mental problems."

She hesitated for a moment, "I eavesdropped on the conversations of those members of the base. They didn't work here voluntarily, but they had to come. Because in front of superhumans, they have no way to hide, and they no longer have any secrets to speak of."

Xia Shining didn't know much, but Jiang Ying saved her life.She is trying to remember what she has experienced during this time, trying to repay her lifesaver.

Jiang Ying asked her what else she knew, Xia Shining racked her brains and thought of another thing.

"From the moment I entered the game, I could feel that someone was watching me, but I always thought it was my illusion. When I was in the pet base, killed three base members with skills, and wanted to escape, I clearly felt, The number of people watching me increased at that moment.”

"I suspect that after the level of mental power reaches S level, human beings will undergo some special changes and will become a kind of existence higher than human beings. They don't need to borrow any technological means, and they can see things thousands of miles away with their eyes directly.”

Jiang Ying narrowed her eyes: "So... those people who have been watching us are actually superhumans outside the town."

"It should be that the members of the base did not mean to share information with me. Half of the information was overheard by me, and half of it was speculated by me."

After receiving Xia Shining's reply, Jiang Ying subconsciously looked around.

His mental strength level is only D, and he cannot perceive those sights.He wondered if the men were watching them as they talked about the information.

Aware of his thoughts, Xiao La felt it carefully for a while, and said first: "Boss, no one is watching now."

Xia Shining also nodded in agreement.

Jiang Ying breathed a sigh of relief, he rubbed the boy in his arms casually, and continued to sort out the clues.

The boy who had been quietly huddled in his arms looked up at the ceiling expressionlessly.

An invisible barrier wraps the house, blocking all prying eyes.

His mental power is SSS level, he can see everything he wants to see, and can also confuse others' sight, so that they can only see his fictional scenes.

Just like now.

In the eyes of superhuman beings in this world, the few people in this room are making children happy.They only chatted a few words about intelligence, and began to tell fairy tales to their children.

After observing for a while, those eyes quickly shifted elsewhere.

Qin Huo's attention was also focused on other places.

He saw the four-member team of the Future Alliance and was still looking for his traces in the town of heroes.

They walked into another residential building and knocked on the door of one of the rooms.

The security door opened and a man wearing glasses walked out.His face was abnormally pale due to excessive shock.

Just like asking Jiang Ying before, the female captain took out Qin Huo's photo and asked the man if he had seen this person.

The man hadn't figured out the situation yet, but when he heard them claiming to be members of the future alliance, he realized that these people might not be NPCs.

He asked them for help and told them that the old players who were supposed to lead the newcomers had been setting up traps for the new players from the beginning of the game.

Caused a lot of deaths of new players, now only three people are left.

No one paid any attention to his pleading. The female captain seemed to think that he was a little troublesome. She took out a pistol-like instrument from her satchel and poked at the man's head.

The man's body froze for a moment, then he turned around in a trance and went back to the house, locked the door and went into the bedroom to sleep.

It was as if he had never seen these people before.

Qin Huo's mouth curled into a mocking smile.

'Fictitious memory'

This is his skill, he is the resource base of the future alliance.

The distance between Qin Huo and them was too close, and he was within the detection range of the instrument.

Once he uses the skills registered in the future alliance, they will lock his specific position as soon as possible.Call the big troops directly to arrest and control him.

Before they left, Qin Huo couldn't turn back into a human or a giant python.

He couldn't turn into a snake and entangle Jiang Ying to sleep, which made him feel bad.

Qin Huo quickly lost interest in those people.

He was about to withdraw his prying eyes when he suddenly heard the female captain whisper, "Do we have any information on the male player with a high ponytail that I've seen before?"

A team member replied: "Yes, his name is Jiang Ying, and his overall score is B. This is his first time entering the game."

The female captain was obviously taken aback, "Is it B or D?"

"yes."

"The old player in this round of the game has only reached level B. Is he really a new player?"

"Yes, the comprehensive score is indeed too high, but there is only one game record on his profile."

The female captain fell silent, and her team members said hesitantly: "There are excellent rookies, and I have seen B-level ones once or twice before."

This answer dispelled the female captain's doubts. She didn't ask any more questions, and led the team to other places to search for traces of 7013.

Withdrawing his gaze, Qin Huo raised his head and looked at Jiang Ying. His friend seemed to be hiding some secrets.

Qin Huo thought for a few seconds, put his arms around Jiang Ying's neck, and gently rubbed his cheek.

What a coincidence, it turns out they both have secrets.

At this moment, Qin Huo felt that his friendship with Jiang Ying became closer.

————

After communicating with Xia Shining for a while, Jiang Ying finally figured out the background setting of this game.

The first half is the same as he guessed, but the direction behind has changed a little.

If no one can escape the curse, human beings will be united like never before in the face of the crisis of race survival.

Just like the early days of the curse, from the newspapers to the folks, they are all in unison.

Because this is related to the common destiny of mankind, if there is no unity, we will die.

Perhaps at the beginning of the establishment of the pet breeding base, it was indeed to shut down the curse forever.The townspeople in Hero Town were once regarded as human heroes.

But at a later stage, superhumans evolved in the human population.

The curse no longer poses a threat to them, and they have even surpassed the curse and let it work for them.

From the titles this group of people give themselves, we can see their thoughts.

In the hearts of superhumans, they are no longer human beings, but existences beyond human beings.

Once the curse is gone, so will the special status of superhumans.

As vested interests, no one wants the curse to continue to exist more than them.

People with A-level mental power are slaves driven by superhumans.

Knowing that A-level mental power is not enough to resist the curse, they are also required to directly enter the coverage area of the curse and work in the pet breeding base for a long time.

Strong spirit potions can't prevent the curse from invading. People below A level must inject potions frequently if they want to maintain their sanity.The price of suppressing the curse is a serious loss of memory.

Therefore, in the eyes of superhumans, this kind of people has no rescue value.They are eliminated by nature and become consumables.

The curse is locked in the small town, and the pet breeding base uses the people of the small town as experiments to breed undead monsters and create war machines for superhumans.

The town's traditional hunting season project is a day to test the strength of monsters.

A large number of townspeople use their lives to provide more data for the base, and fresh flesh and blood will make the monsters more bloodthirsty and brutal.

Capture the townspeople through repeated mental hypnosis to find a way to control human thinking.Then use the data they provided to improve the strong spirit potion.

The 'pet dogs' led by the residents were the experimental subjects hypnotized by the base.

They successfully turned the living people below B level into 'dogs', and also made the townspeople treat the same kind as 'dogs'.

Jiang Ying can almost imagine that once this mind control technology, which is still under development, matures, humans will completely become toys in the hands of superhumans.

They can manipulate human thoughts at will, grasp absolute power, and become gods walking in the world.

As for why there are townspeople who suddenly returned to normal in the town, Jiang Ying has two guesses.

The first one, the level of a person's spiritual power, is actually not fixed.

From the collected clues, it can be deduced that in the initial stage of the curse, there were not many humans with mental strength exceeding S-level.

The S grade here refers to the level of mental strength, not the comprehensive score.Superhumans do not have super fighting power, they only distance themselves from ordinary people mentally.

A handful of superhumans alone are not capable of ruling low-level humans.

There is only one way to form this absolute dominance.

Some people have gradually raised their mental power level to S level as time goes by, increasing the total number of superhuman groups.

A large number of low-level humans died, and the number of ordinary humans decreased rapidly.

Superhumans and ordinary humans eventually reach a balance.

It not only ensures that superhumans occupy a dominant position, but also ensures that ordinary humans will not become extinct and can be enslaved for a long time.

This can explain why the pet breeding base does not protect the townspeople who regained their sanity and got rid of the curse.

Those townspeople evolved under the curse and eventually became new superhumans.

But power is a piece of cake, and the more people eat the cake, the less power everyone gets.

The emergence of new superhumans will break the original balance.

So they must die.

The second explanation is that the pet base uses townspeople for experiments every once in a while.

They either used the mechanical bugs on their pets, or used other methods to inject the newly improved spirit potions into the bodies of the townspeople.

By counting the number of townspeople who regained their sanity, observing their subsequent mental state, behavior, and way of thinking, and collecting new experimental data.

Jiang Ying thought for a long time, and he felt that there might be both possibilities.

After hearing his speculation, Xia Shining's expression went blank for a moment.

"So you mean that the people in the base are slaves, and the people in the town are experimental materials. And like the townspeople, we are also consumables that can be taken away at any time?"

Jiang Ying nodded: "According to my guess, this high-tech civilized world has turned into a slave society again after the impact of the curse, but it's not on the surface."

Xia Shining was startled, she lowered her head in a daze, "Outside that town..."

"Well, it's the slave owners. They look into the town from time to time to supervise the work of the slaves and check the use of consumables."

The man's soft and calm voice did not comfort Xia Shining.

She clutched the hem of the clothes tightly with both hands, and when she spoke again, there was already a hint of crying in her voice.

"Then what should we do now? The game requires us to escape from the town on the tenth day. How could those people allow us to leave the town?"

Jiang Ying tapped her fingers on the table, frowning in thought,

"The game doesn't say how to leave the town. Maybe as long as you step out of the town, you can complete the mission. You can leave the game copy instantly just like entering the game."

"Will someone stop us at the exit?"

"Yes, but we can find a way to let them decide to let us out."

Xia Shining looked at him in confusion.

Jiang Ying didn't answer right away, his conjecture still needs to be verified.

He got up with Qin Huo in his arms, and went to the bedroom to find the phone of the convenience store owner.

Passing the mobile phone to Xia Shining, Jiang Ying signaled her to turn on the mobile phone to see if the alliance lobby app would appear automatically.

Xia Shining looked down a few times, and nodded in surprise, "Yes! The icon is the same as the one in my phone, and it also contains my relevant information."

Jiang Ying thought about a question before.

In the process of playing the game, the mobile phone cannot be kept intact forever, and there is also the possibility of loss.

If the mobile phone is lost or unusable, how should the player check the progress of the task.

He felt that this software should not be bound to a fixed mobile phone, but the player himself.

After confirming that the mobile phone of the convenience store owner can be used by Xia Shining, Jiang Ying asked her to check the message notification bar to observe the growth pattern of the npc's favorability.

Xia Shining looked at it for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "There is not much news about the increase in my favorability, but for a while, a large number of npcs have a good impression of me at the same time."

Jiang Ying narrowed her eyes: "When the favorability increased intensively, you happened to use skills to kill the members of the pet base?"

Xia Shining has long since lost the calm and cold look just now: "Yes! There was no movement before, but I killed a few people and almost broke out of the pet base, and the favorability suddenly started to skyrocket!"

Jiang Ying's hanging heart was finally relieved.

His guess was right, and now he has guessed the growth law of favorability and figured out the preferences of superhumans.

In addition, when he killed the owner of the convenience store, he learned that someone wanted to buy him away...

There was a mocking smile on the corner of Jiang Ying's mouth.

He knew how to get out of town.

Since those npcs want to buy him, let them buy it.
