Yet even though Chen Ge felt that the way she asked the question was still relatively mild, she still received an unexpected result.
The black-haired girl seemed to subconsciously press her cherry lips together, looking as though she had been verbally bullied by a bad person and was about to cry.
Her pupils that contained unclear and indescribable emotions were somewhat evasive.
Seeing this, the manager irritably pinched her somewhat messy chestnut long hair and sighed with a headache.
“Forget it, forget it… I always feel that continuously questioning a little girl like this is not very good.
In any case, I only want to confirm one matter. Xiaoyu, you know that the things you are currently doing are very dangerous, right?”
In fact she had truly just happened to encounter Xiaoyu.
Seeing that the other party seemed to have been continuously fleeing, she decided to slightly advise from the perspective of an elder.
After all, the dangers of the mysterious side were truly not something ordinary people could endure.
The Sequence advancement system of the Pathways would drive all people who came into contact with it toward mutual suspicion and competition.
Even someone like Chen Ge who wanted to sever connections with these messy things did not possess sufficient ability to completely ignore the matters of the other side.
Bai Mu was the same.
Therefore they did not wish for an ordinary girl like Luo Xiaoyu who could originally live steadily and peacefully to make a choice that was enough to influence her entire life without understanding sufficient circumstances.
“How about this. I’ll just directly tell you—
No matter whether you are currently out of curiosity or…”
Speaking to this point, the manager carefully weighed her own wording.
After hesitating for a long while she continued:
“Or someone—not necessarily a person—has promised you benefits and made you come into contact with Weirdness.
Believe in your own judgment. This is the most important.”
After saying such a long string of words in one breath, Chen Ge seemed to have used up all her strength and visibly relaxed.
Regarding these words, it was not that Luo Xiaoyu had no doubts.
It was only that she would not choose to continue questioning.
Just like how the system previously did not actively tell her information about the scythe, some things that should not be known were still better not understood in advance.
The matter related to the Poison Snake gang was the true Sword of Damocles hanging over Luo Xiaoyu’s head.
She had already been hunted by Poison Snake because she interfered with the matters of the Thin Man and the convenience store boy.
Therefore, under the premise of having agreed with Chen Ge on what “could be disclosed,” Luo Xiaoyu inquired of the other party about the related matters.
“You’re asking how many Transcendents Poison Snake has? …Two, roughly.
Aside from that ‘Zhou,’ the remaining one is only an ordinary person who joined the gang and was then promoted.”
“If you want me to further supplement specific abilities, I also don’t know.
Because even if a Transcendent has stepped onto a certain fixed Pathway, the abilities they themselves can master are strongly related to their personal traits.
Yet they should both belong to the ‘Death’ Pathway.”
“But since you already know the term ‘Transcendent,’ I’m a little unsure about the degree to which you have contacted the mysterious side…
As a result you don’t even know the Pathways of those two people from Poison Snake?”
Being examined by Chen Ge’s somewhat puzzled gaze, Luo Xiaoyu for a moment stammered and did not know how to respond.
Because the information she currently knew was in fact all told to her by the system.
At least regarding this one item, Luo Xiaoyu would certainly not choose to tell others.
“Fine… But I suggest that Xiaoyu had best not produce conflict, or rather intersection, with those two people.
Zhou is a believer of the Orthodox Church. This single point alone decides that there will not be any good ideas in his head.”
This was a Church hidden in the dark.
The deity worshipped by the Orthodox Church was extremely bizarre, and their doctrines were even more vicious to the point of making one’s hair stand on end.
Quite a few large-scale disasters that arose within the territory of the Human Federation were the handiwork of Orthodox Church believers.
And because the Orthodox Church was one of the few organizations that still maintained relatively substantial remaining strength after the Great Catastrophe, they had survived until now and already held an unknown number of trump cards and schemes in their hands.
When humanity was rebuilding after the disaster, the Orthodox Church participated behind the scenes and provided quite a bit of support.
At that time they also had small-scale infiltration.
Yet under the circumstances of that time, no one was able to actively eliminate the “Orthodox Church,” this powder keg that could explode at any time.
Now, the Human Federation as a surface force was already speculated to possess strength accumulation that could stand against the Orthodox Church.
Yet once a frontal conflict was produced it would erupt into an extremely tragic confrontation.
People were content with the status quo, so no one risked themselves.
“That’s roughly the meaning… Therefore, if you encounter people of the Orthodox Church in the future, remember to go around them and don’t make eye contact either.”
Yet listening to such words that seemed like teaching, Luo Xiaoyu instead felt completely without a clue.
Then how was she supposed to judge whether the other party was a person of the Orthodox Church?
Seeming to sense the black-haired girl’s doubt, Chen Ge continued explaining:
“Full of lies, unscrupulous in achieving their goals, people who look very hypocritical at a glance are probably it…”
While speaking, the manager only then noticed that she seemed to have disclosed too many things all at once.
The momentum of having no one to talk to and relieve boredom on ordinary days had passed.
Chen Ge only then hurriedly stopped speaking.
“Today I’ll only tell you this much. If your older sister finds out later, just throw all the blame onto Yuan Dong.
Xiaoyu is also tired, right… Then hurry home and rest well.”
Then Luo Xiaoyu returned home.
The system panel popped out the moment she returned to her own room.
[Current Allocatable Points: 7. Allocatable Exile Points: 4]
[Sufficient information on contacted Transcendents has been obtained. The system has automatically arranged and indicated the Host’s inherent attributes according to personal traits. Please check, Host.]
[Inherent Attributes: Light, Dark, Magic]
These…?
[These are traits the Host originally carried. The system has listed them in tabular form to facilitate the Host’s subsequent continuous refinement. Thereby one can better judge the extraordinary abilities, also called “skills,” suitable for the Host herself to learn.]
Luo Xiaoyu remembered that previously when she met Yuan Dong and Chen Ge she had both provided information to the system.
In other words, the Pathways of these people or their own abilities should have differences.
Then what did this learning of “skills” mean?
Could it be that after she stepped onto a fixed Pathway she could still learn abilities from other Pathways?
[Whether one can learn depends only on the Host’s own inherent attributes and is unrelated to the currently known “Pathway” restrictions.]
That was right.
The system was even able to strip the skills from Fog Persons and give them to her, and she could also master them.
Then it seemed there was no need to be constrained by such things either.
Thinking this, the black-haired girl opened the shop.
The first thing displayed on the panel attracted her attention.
[Air Projectiles]
[Explanation: The multiplied increase in control over “air / the surrounding environment” brought by Fog Persons exploring their own abilities after growth has created this special skill. This is an ability that compresses air and relies on powerful kinetic energy and force to physically destroy the target.]
[Prerequisite skill requirement: Mistification (already satisfied)]
[Consume 7 Points to master the expanded ability of “Mistification,” Air Projectiles?]
[Consumed 7 Points. Remaining Points: 0.]
This was the second active offensive ability Luo Xiaoyu mastered.
Judging solely from that brief experience of personally tasting this unreasonable ability, she would not refuse this kind of ability that only cost seven points, neither emotionally nor rationally.
With a thought from the girl, extremely compressed air slowly emerged in her hand.
The air condensed and collided inside the projectile.
Even though the gradually forming projectile was originally transparent, that whistling buzzing sound was already sufficient to display its presence.
Afterward she tried again opening Mistification, then like that Fog Person condensed projectiles in her own home field.
Mistification was like an enhanced auxiliary skill.
Benefiting from the perception of the surrounding environmental air currents, the speed at which Air Projectiles formed became faster.
More importantly, even without opening Mistification it only slowed the condensation speed of the projectiles a little.
In other words, that extremely conspicuous Mistification only needed to be opened when necessary.
The current Luo Xiaoyu, upon encountering that Fog Person from just now again, would no longer be completely without the ability to fight back.
At the very least she should be able to, under the premise of understanding the characteristics of the other party’s abilities, use the firelock to interfere and fight several rounds.
