Godslayer: The different abilities represented by the twelve two-hour periods of the day

During this four-day holiday, Lin Shi gained a lot, absorbing the time of the Mad Scorpion Squad, the three night watchmen of the Fasting Hall, and a small portion of Han Shaoyun's time, since Han Shaoyun's lifespan was mostly cut off by the captain's Impermanent Blade.

In the City of Ghoul, Zafkiel, floating in mid-air, finally reached the five o'clock position with his long needle, unlocking the fifth bullet.

(Fifth Bullet: Foreseeing the brief future. The 'Pool' realm can predict the future for 5 minutes.)

Ring ring ring~~~!

The familiar yet piercing whistle rang out, and Lin Shi and Cao Yuan woke up almost simultaneously, dressed in unison, and ran towards the training ground together.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Baili Pangpang dressed in a daze, and the moment he finished, he looked as if he was about to fall asleep.

Seeing this, Lin Qiye swung his slipper at him, hitting him on the head and waking him up completely.

The two pushed open the door and ran quickly toward the training field, arriving within three minutes.

Below the training platform, everyone had already assembled.

On the training platform, all the instructors of the training camp had arrived. Unlike the previous gatherings, this time the instructors on the platform were dressed very neatly, and many of them had various medals hanging on their chests.

The three dark blue medals on Yuan Gang's body shone brightly. He scanned the area below and spoke in a loud voice:

"There will be no training this morning because we are awarding medals to some of you today."

"During the holiday, two reserve night watchmen made indelible contributions to protecting their comrades and the city of Cangnan."

Next, Yuan Gang explained the division of Night's Watch honors to everyone, and when he got to the 'Star' medal, he changed the subject...

"Please welcome our 'Star' Medal recipient, Lin Qiye. He saved over fifty new recruits during a missile attack, severely injured the Ancient God Church's snake woman during a subsequent attack, and assisted Squad 136 in killing believer Han Shaoyun."

The audience erupted in applause, while the protagonist, Lin Qiye, stood there dumbfounded.

Lin Shi gave Lin Qiye a push, "What are you standing there for? Go up and receive your award! Everyone's waiting for you."

After being pushed back to his senses, Lin Qiye quickly walked onto the martial arts stage and came to Yuan Gang's side.

Yuan Gang slowly opened the small black box in his hand, inside which was the dazzling 'Star' medal. He solemnly picked it up and hung it on Lin Qiye's chest.

Amidst applause, Lin Qiye slowly walked off the stage and returned to the queue.

"Next, Lin Shi single-handedly held off Han Shaoyun, a believer of the 'Sea' Realm, for a period of time, and greatly assisted Team 136 in dealing with Han Shaoyun, a believer of the Ancient God Church. As a 'Pool' Realm cultivator, he dared to face the 'Sea' Realm cultivator alone, and even held off the opponent for a while, making a great contribution to the battle. Therefore, the higher-ups decided to award Lin Shi the 'Star Glory' Medal."

"Holy crap, Lin Shi is awesome! He dared to hold off 'Hai' Jing all by himself."

Baili Pangpang's eyes widened. He knew how terrifying the 'Sea' Realm was. Even his own four forbidden artifact masters couldn't withstand it, yet Lin Shi was able to handle it without getting hurt.

Under the stares of the crowd who were looking at him like he was a monster, Lin Shi walked onto the martial arts stage and accepted the 'Star Glory' medal.

After receiving their medals, the group disbanded, and the group went to the canteen together.

......

After physical training, the training programs became less monotonous, focusing more on tactical guidance, explanation of forbidden areas, wilderness survival and first aid, as well as some simulation exercises. Most of the time was spent in the classroom, giving people the feeling of attending a military academy.

It is worth mentioning that the highly anticipated firearms training of Lin Shi and Lin Qiye showed two completely different situations: one hit the bullseye every time at the 100-meter target, while the other missed the target every time at the 20-meter target.

The crowd's gazes shifted back and forth between the two.

......

This morning, after breakfast, everyone went to the classroom to begin today's lessons.

"Everyone, what is the essence of mental power? Does anyone know?" Instructor Gu, standing on the platform, noticed someone sleeping in the last row. A piece of chalk flew over and hit Shen Qingzhu on the head.

"Shen Qingzhu, what is the essence of spiritual power?"

"I don't know."

"...Go out and do 500 abdominal pull-ups."

"Alright!!"

Shen Qingzhu revived on the spot, transforming into a gust of wind and running out of the classroom. Instructor Gu sighed and continued, "Mental power is a product of conscious activity under specific circumstances. As long as you continuously explore and study it, you can experience the truth of the world..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye had a sudden inspiration and seemed to have thought of something. He patted Lin Shi beside him and asked, "Lin Shi, do you think the world we live in is real? Could we be created by a higher-dimensional being?"

No... weren't you going to ask Instructor Gu, who's so knowledgeable on stage, this question? Why are you asking me now?

Lin Shi was already feeling drowsy during the lecture, but this question instantly woke him up.

"Shouldn't you have asked Instructor Gu, who's so knowledgeable on the stage, first? Why are you asking me first? Aren't you afraid I'll go crazy with all your questions?"

Lin Qiye stared at Lin Shi and said sincerely, "I feel like you know a lot of things. I can get answers from you if I ask you. Besides, I'm afraid I'll drive Instructor Han crazy. As for you... it's unlikely you'll go crazy."

Lin Shi looked helplessly at his friend, "I think this world is real because we all live in this world. This world has our own relatives and friends, and a bunch of people just like us."

To deny the truth or falsehood of the world is to deny everyone around you. At this point, you should speak from the heart. What does it matter if it's true or false?

If you think it's fake, does that mean you don't need to live? Or should you give up on the people you know? Even if you find the world you believe to be real, it doesn't belong to you; you haven't integrated into it.

To the other world, you will ultimately be a fake, an illegal immigrant, someone they want to eliminate.

Lin Qiye was stunned, and in his heart he kept thinking, "Lin Shi is awesome! It was definitely the right choice to come to you first when there's a problem."

Lin Shi then added, "If someone suffers from this kind of paranoia, medication will be needed for better results."

Lin Qiye nodded without noticing anything amiss, pondering when he would have time to enter the mental hospital and test Merlin's words.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he realized that there was an unexpected meaning in Lin Shi's last sentence. As if his deepest secret had been discovered, Lin Qiye looked at Lin Shi with a look of horror in his eyes.

Lin Qiye swallowed hard. He knew that he could ask Lin Shi any questions first, and Lin Shi would usually answer them.

But I really didn't expect... Lin Shi seems to know even my deepest secrets.

Lin Qiye stammered as he asked Lin Shi, "How...how...did you know I might be going to...treat a mental patient?"

Lin Shi rolled her eyes at Lin Qiye. "Who in their right mind would ask a question that could drive someone insane? Only someone who's mentally ill would ask that." Lin Shi looked at Lin Qiye with a strange expression. "That person... wouldn't happen to be you, would it?"

"...It wasn't me, it definitely wasn't me. I'm not mentally ill, I'm just asking on behalf of a friend."

Lin Shi's gaze seemed to be telling Lin Qiye, "I don't believe you. Are you making up a story?"

Lin Qiye's expression fell: It's over, I've become a substitute...
