Chapter Fourteen Imprints(1/2)
call--
Martin let out a long breath, stood up and twisted his stiff neck, sweeping away the sad emotions in his memory from his heart.
As a modern person, he certainly knew that this was the little Martin who regarded Aunt Rebecca as a mother, and was eager for family affection in her.
Although compared with those poor children who are not covered in clothes, they can already eat and wear warmth, and have rich material guarantees.
But what bothers Little Martin is another kind of emotional misfortune, which constantly ate his young heart.
It is not difficult to imagine that if Rebecca had not been accompanied by warmly in his childhood, Martin suspected that the original owner of the body would have become more autistic.
Even if he became a mentally ill, he was not surprised...
Martin looked at the original owner's memory and found the thickest history book deep in the bookshelf.
There were several letters that had been disassembled inside.
The envelope is yellow in color. Although it is well preserved, it has been more than ten years after all, and the years have left a deep mark on it.
Seeing them, Martin finally remembered why the original owner of his body ran from the distant eastern part of the continent to Fort Faralin.
Because he found out that these letters were sent back from Faralinburg.
Although Rebecca never mentioned her location to Martin in the letter, he also told him not to try to come to her.
But for Martin, his aunt Rebecca had long become a kind of obsession in his heart that he could not let go.
The moment he decided to run away from home, he had already thought of finding his aunt Rebecca and meeting him again.
He opened the envelope and carefully unfolded the slightly yellowed letter paper, and Martin looked at it one by one.
【Dear Martin: Happy birthday to you!】
[I don't know if this letter can arrive on time... It's been a year since I left home. Let me tell you good news. You have a cousin! She is very cute. I hope you all can grow up safely.]
...
[Happy tenth birthday, Martin! You have grown up again, and now you have to become stronger like a man.]
[What Aunt Rebecca wants to tell you is that the power of blood does not mean all! I know that you must still be studying historical knowledge. Since this is your choice, I respect your wishes and will not stop you again.]
[But please be careful and protect yourself. After all, it is unacceptable for ordinary people to control extraordinary power.]
[By the way, there are some related books in your mother's relics, in the dark cube under the bed in your room. She was once a senior scholar in related fields and is believed to be of great help to your research and study."
[The gods are on the way. Perhaps, it is destined by God to walk on this path. After all, her blood flows in your blood.]
[However, it is still the same sentence just now. Be careful, be careful, and remember to protect yourself.]
...
[Martin, it's been another year. You are now over five feet at the age of twelve? I really want to see what you are now.]
[In addition to learning knowledge, you should also go out for more walks and not be stuck in the room all day long. Enough insight and peaceful attitude will help your research.]
[Your cousin is already able to talk, she looks very cute. It's strange to say that she is more like my brother, your father. I really hope you can meet her, and I believe you will also like her.]
[——I love your aunt forever, Rebecca.]
After Martin read the letters one by one, he carefully folded them and put them away.
The letter paper was obviously read by the original owner of the body from time to time, and it was already very fragile, and if you were not careful, you might tear it apart.
After reading the familiar and unfamiliar content in the letter, Martin read almost all the original owner's childhood memories, and some vague impressions gradually became clear.
The emotions hidden in memory fragments made Martin feel a little uncomfortable.
I have to say that the original owner of the body's childhood was indeed a bit miserable and pity.
The original owner of no friends can only silently accompany the knowledge of mystery.
Moreover, because of the inability to the world, he, who embarked on the path of a ritualist, must carefully keep this secret, and his life became extremely depressing.
Opening the window, Martin took a deep breath of the cool air outside.
The pure sea breeze is cool and mixed with a touch of deep sea, which finally dilutes the depression a lot.
Martin opened the personal panel.
As his mood gradually relaxed, he noticed that there was a change in his personal panel.
【Talent has awakened】
[Learning marks: When other extraordinary people use their abilities, they can be recorded as marks after discovering and understanding them. This ability can be used through marks, but they will bear the same constraints. The upper limit of marks: 0/1]
[Currently discovered ability: Are the thorns of staring in marks?]
[Gaze Thorn: Look directly at the target. After blinking three times in your field of vision, you can launch a flashing raid on the target and teleport to the back of the target to launch an attack.]
[Binding: When you are in the enemy's gaze, your movement speed will become very slow, and you can return to normal without gaze]
When he was confronting the dead cultist just now, Martin vaguely heard the system prompt in his mind.
However, the situation was very critical at that time, and Martin was all focused on the enemy and had no intention of caring about this.
When Martin saw the ability and restraint of [Gaze Thorn], he finally understood why the cultist just now stood at the door.
He was under his own gaze, and his movement speed should be greatly limited, so he was waiting for himself to blink!
I don’t know if that guy threatens himself with his identity as a ritualist, really wants to hide here, or is delaying time, waiting for him to blink more than three times without realizing it...
Martin doesn't remember when he blinks, but the question now makes no sense.
In view of this, Martin secretly warned himself that he should be more careful when facing extraordinary people in the future.
Although he does not know his specific sequence, he should have other abilities that can be invisible.
Cooperating with this ability can just avoid the negative effects of restraint.
The ability of this sneak attack is undoubtedly quite good!
The main reason is that the blinking action is completely a subconscious behavior of a person.
Just like breathing.
It is hard to imagine that this kind of thing that is easy to ignore is actually a trigger condition for extraordinary skills!
Of course, its bondage is equally fatal.
The movements are slower and not less.
However, for Martin, what he wants more is the stealth ability.
"System, why hasn't the cult's invisibility been recorded?"
Martin couldn't help asking.
"Please read the instructions of [Learning Marks] carefully!"
The system's prompt sound immediately rang in my mind.
Martin looked at it carefully again.
Is the focus "discovery" and "understanding"?
During the few breaths confronting the cultists, Martin actually suspected that the other party was waiting for some opportunity to activate his ability.
So, when the cult teleported behind him, he vaguely understood that this was some special extraordinary ability.
As for invisibility, Martin didn't know when and how he entered the invisibility state.
"So, must we discover the process of starting capabilities before we can record it?"
Martin asked again.
The system answers: "The ability description shall prevail. Please explore the other conditions by the host."
Martin couldn't help frowning, and then continued to ask, "If the mark is entered, will the bonding take effect immediately?"
The system replied: "The mark needs to be activated, and it can only be used after activation and is bound to be used."
Martin nodded secretly: "Is there any difference between the ability of the mark recording and the original one?"
"Please explore it yourself."
Martin curled his lips and asked again: "Well, the cultist should be Sequence 8... Can he record higher sequences across levels?"
"Please explore it yourself."
"I have to explore everything myself, so what's the use of this system for you?"
Martin got the answers he explored on his own twice in a row, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"Please explore it yourself."
The third time!
Hearing the mechanical sounds repeated in his mind, Martin completely lost his temper.
The mountain falls, and everyone runs.
This is indeed true.
The system is not omnipotent, and after all, you have to rely on your own exploration!
To be continued...
