old fire thieves

Chapter 30 No.30 Scene. Persona

At one o'clock in the morning in the late summer and early autumn, on the bed of a beautiful girl of the same age, being told "you are special" by the other party in thin pajamas, no matter how you look at it, it is an extremely ambiguous scene... What a ghost.

"Special? What do you mean?"

Bai Ge hurriedly got out of bed, not even noticing whether the quilt smelled of love. He was still wearing his daytime clothes, and it seemed that no one helped him change them.

Um?The clothes are clean and there is no blood, what's going on?

Bai Ge glanced at his clothes.

"To put it simply... Well, it's too troublesome to explain, so I'll let Lao Huo explain it."

Ai Lian thought for a while, stood up, and asked Bai Ge to follow into the living room.

"Yo, you're awake, you look in good spirits."

Lao Huo, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV series, was still peeling fruit, so he said hello.

"Do you want an apple? It's fresh, crisp and sweet."

"No, no, thank you."

Bai Ge sat down in a daze.

"Old Huo, what happened to me?"

"Hehe, you have swallowed the upgrade rainbow that contains fragments of Arsen Luoping's history, and you have successfully been promoted to a second-rank upgrader, with the rank of [Phantom Thief]."

Lao Huo handed an apple to Ai Lian, put down the fruit knife himself, and wiped his hands with a paper towel.

"However, during your promotion process, a rather strange phenomenon occurred. To be honest, it was the first time I saw it. However, the Abyssal Relics Affairs Department has accumulated and filed information for many years, so I have found out about your current situation. .”

"What's happening?"

Bai Ge asked curiously.

"Before talking about you, you must first understand the relationship between historical successors and ascendants."

Lao Huo subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette, but he withdrew his hand again after looking at Ai Lian.

"You know, the ascender wants to become stronger as soon as possible, gain more extraordinary abilities, advance to the next stage, and obtain the second name. The fastest way is to follow the example of his own historical figures and make himself and The fate of that person is highly overlapped, which is why most of the ascended shadow archetypes tend to become criminals, not only because of their ability to commit crimes, but also because of their reputation requirements."

He picked up another apple, and the fruit knife nimbly peeled off the peel and connected it into a strip.

"However, if one is too obsessed with the fate of historical fragments, an ascended person can easily lose himself, or even degenerate into an abyssal monster. Therefore, this boundary is quite delicate. As for the degree of fame and the grasp of the relationship between oneself and history, it is the ascended person. An important factor in the speed of gaining fame."

"It means that if I want to become stronger as soon as possible, I have to imitate the deeds of Arsen Luoping, but I have to be different from him?"

Bai Ge understood.

"Well, but in this case, some ascenders are very special. For various reasons, they have born something similar to the personality side, or virtual personality, in their bodies. This is the side of their consciousness. Through Let this personality perfectly inherit the fate in the historical fragments, and on the premise of maintaining a high degree of self, they can merge with the historical fragments at the fastest speed until they are fully famous and can proceed to the next stage of promotion."

Lao Huo quickly peeled the apple and handed it to Bai Ge.

Listening to him, Bai Ge subconsciously took the apple and took a bite.

Mmm, indeed, crunchy and sweet.

"From this point of view, this aspect of personality is highly bound to historical fragments. When such an ascender uses extraordinary abilities, it is like wearing a mask. Therefore, in official materials, this trait is called 【Persona Mask】."

Lao Huo wiped the fruit knife clean, and he didn't seem to have any intention of giving himself one, so he continued.

"Of course, if it's just the side of personality, then this is just a very difficult skill. The key point is that most of the side of personality that is not produced by self-will will have a certain degree of personality defects. For example, some people will appear. From anger, some people will be overly cautious, and along with these character flaws, their own abilities will change, probably this is an equivalent exchange."

He smiled and looked at Baige.

"Uh, wait, does that mean... I have a dual personality?"

Bai Ge was still gnawing on apples, but after realizing this, the apples in his hand were no longer fragrant.

After drinking a bottle of medicine, he became schizophrenic?

"No, to be precise, you have the talent of [Persona Mask], and you are a natural ascendant."

Lao Huo leaned back and sank into the sofa.

The series on TV came to an end, and a commercial for the drink came in.

"And if we're not mistaken, your [persona mask] should be [crazy]."

"?"

crazy?

Good guy, not only did he have a schizophrenia, but he also became a lunatic?

"Don't worry, it will only appear when you use your extraordinary ability, and it's not as violent as when you were just promoted. The so-called [crazy] is not that kind of crazy state, it's more like a boldness and action beyond common sense. Momentum, I think it’s pretty good.”

Ai Lian didn't know when she had already gnawed the apple in her hand until there was only one core left. She patted Bai Ge's shoulder and told him not to take it too seriously.

"Also, wouldn't [Phantom Thief] be more [crazy]?"

"It seems to make sense...it's strange."

Bai Ge recalled his mental state at that time, and he was surprisingly calm. He didn't feel panic or uneasy even though he was doing such outrageous things. Of course, although he was laughing all the time, he didn't feel joy or joy.

It's like, taking everything for granted, no matter how bizarre things are, you can simply accept them.

From this point of view, it is like the ultimate enhanced version of [The Unknown Man] for improving the psychological quality.

Probably in the world of lunatics, nothing can surprise him.

After finishing the ball, why am I thinking about the thoughts of a madman?

Bai Ge came back to his senses.

"As long as it doesn't affect the normal ability to use it, don't worry, I checked the case, and this kind of ascenders with [persona masks] are basically the best in their respective camps. Thinking about it this way, you will also be a big shot in the future, right? It's a little bit exciting!"

Old Huo Yu said earnestly.

I don't want to be a big shot.

Bai Ge secretly complained.

"By the way, you are back to normal now, you should be able to feel the changes in your body, right?"

Love asked again.

"Well......"

When Bai Ge calmed down, some knowledge and skills that he had never been exposed to before naturally appeared in his mind. These skills were not as jerky as the words in a textbook, but as proficient as Bai Ge had mastered them for many years.

While he was thinking, his face suddenly changed.

The skeleton subtly changed its structure, the muscles and skin squirmed, and the whole person became slightly bigger.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Ge had disappeared.

On the sofa was another old Huo.

"Hey, it's pretty similar."

The real old Huo stroked his chin and looked at "Old Huo" carefully.

"This should be Arsen Luoping's famous extraordinary ability. I remember that he often disguised himself as other people and mixed into the target place. The disguise technique was so lifelike that he was also nicknamed 'The Man with Thousand Faces'. Equipment technology has become the standard configuration of the strange thief."

Ai Lian looked up a lot of relevant information when Bai Ge was sleeping, and at this moment, she also approached with great interest, and her breathing made "Old Huo" slightly uncomfortable.

In a blink of an eye, "Old Huo" turned back into Baige.

"Is your change just your face or can you change your body structure?"

Ai Lian asked enthusiastically.

"Well, the body structure should also be imitated to a certain extent, but it's only the appearance."

Bai Ge replied hesitantly.

There is always a bad feeling.

"It's fun, then, Bai Ge, try to become me?"

Ai Lian said with bright eyes.

"?"

A question mark appeared on Baige's head.

Something is wrong with this woman.

"Impossible, impossible, I, Bai Ge, jumped from here today, and it is impossible to become a girl!"
