Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 107: Go wrong

Views:

The figure stood between the doors of No. 188 and No. 190, nearly ten meters away from Shang Jianyao.

He wore a dark peaked cap, a blue top and black trousers, and a pair of leather shoes that were slightly worn.

At this moment, the man was standing with his back against the wall, the hat was so low that it almost covered his eyes.

The shadow created by the brim of the hat spread out, covering the entire face, so that Shang Jianyao could only see the silver-black metal thin tube in the other's mouth.

This thin metal tube was only a finger long, like some kind of substitute for a simple cigarette.

Shang Jianyao's heart moved, he gave up the attempt to take out the key, his knees slightly bent, his waist and abdomen exerted force, and he instantly entered a state of being ready to go.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly darkened.

It's not that he fainted, but that the surrounding light seemed to be sucked away by something.

Not only that, but he couldn't hear a single sound in his ears.

Shang Jianyao's current state seems to have returned to the "Sea of Origins" and the first "island" he encountered.

Complete darkness, complete silence, with no companions except himself.

The familiar fear spewed out of his heart again, making him tremble slightly.

Yue Qifan, who was standing against the wall, immediately stood up and turned his body.

He raised his head quickly, and aimed the thin silver-black metal tube in his mouth at Shang Jianyao.

It's a blowtorch.

Unlike the simple blow arrows made of trees by the surface wilderness wanderers, this has a relatively complex mechanical structure and is driven by springs and mechanisms. Therefore, it is not one or two meters long, has high concealment, and does not require real blowing. , the tongue presses the button hard to launch.

In a sense, this can't actually be called a blow arrow, because it can also be used with fingers.

Its real name is "Dark Arrow".

The reason why Yue Qifan used the most inconvenient mouth and tongue was because the sage told him that the target had the ability of the awakened person to make his hands unable to move.

If so, he doesn't use his hands.

At the same time, he also knows the characteristics of the other two Awakened abilities of the target:

One is similar to "hypnosis", but there must be dialogue, and the range of action is very small, one can make people do some irrational behavior, and the distance where the effect takes effect is between four and eight meters.

Based on this information, Yue Qifan strictly controlled the distance between the two parties.

He is currently close to ten meters away from Shang Jianyao's room, putting himself outside the effective range of the two Awakened abilities of "dialogue hypnosis" and "irrational behavior", while the one that "affects the movements of both hands" relies on "blowing arrows" ” to avoid—here, each room is two meters wide, so distances can be easily calculated.

The reason why he didn't choose a farther place is because of his three Awakened abilities, the "Dream Journey" with the largest coverage can also affect humans at a distance of no more than 11 meters.

Yue Qifan's plan is:

At the most suitable distance, first use the "dream trip", which is the ability to stimulate certain memories of the other party and produce certain real hallucinations, so that Shang Jianyao falls into one of the states of fear, confusion, and dementia, thus temporarily controlling him.

Then, blow out a small arrow, anesthetize the other party, drag him into room 196, and methodically use the "Segment Memory Erasing" ability of the Awakener to flip through the memory and erase all clues.

This was Yue Qifan's best plan based on his own abilities and the items at hand. After all, the incident happened in a hurry, and the Holy Master's order came too quickly and suddenly, leaving him no time to make additional preparations.

As for why he always keeps "blow darts", it is because he relies on this to restrain the price he pays to a certain extent.

In fact, Yue Qifan felt a little strange in his heart. In his opinion, it would be better to leave this matter to Xiong Ming. A "cardiac arrest" is simply an excellent ability to kill people and destroy clues.

Perhaps the saints did not want to cause further deaths, fearing that they would attract special attention from the company's top management, so they used me, an awakener who can erase memories... Yue Qifan's thoughts flashed, and he predicted the possible dodging of Shang Jianyao after awakening in time. direction, put the tongue against the mechanism at the bottom of the "blow dart".

At this moment, Shang Jianyao, whose body was slightly hunched and trembling slightly, suddenly laughed:

"Very weak ability."

At this moment, Yue Qifan was a little stunned when he heard:

"Why does he speak

"At such a time, even if the 'dream trip' wasn't affected enough and recovered in time, one should dodge to the side or roll on the spot to avoid the next attack...

"Why did he waste such precious time talking

"This is not a normal person's reaction at all.

"Damn, why is he talking!"

Yue Qifan's tongue just touched the switch of "Blowing Arrow", and before he had time to exert force, he lost the follow-up action.

He opened his mouth with sweat on his forehead, and responded uncontrollably:

"How can you be called weak?"

In Dang's voice, the silver-black metal thin tube fell to the ground and jumped a few times.

But Yue Qifan's words did not stop because of this:

"It triggers certain memories in you, immerses you in a scene from the past.

"If it's designed properly, the links are so closely intertwined that you can't even tell what's true from what's false."

Shang Jianyao was stunned when he heard this:

"Why are you responding to my sarcasm

"I'm just flabbergasted."

Before Yue Qifan could speak, he suddenly understood, and laughed:

"The price you pay is that no matter what anyone says, you have to respond?"

"Do you think it would be so simple?" Yue Qifan "contradicted."

Sweat dripped from his forehead.

The price he paid was "self-discipline".

But in fact, the price is not so serious, Yue Qifan just lacks self-discipline in one aspect.

That aspect is called "arguing".

As long as someone starts a topic, he can't help arguing and debating.

Sometimes, even if he agrees with the other party's point of view, he will be unable to control one or two small details and forcefully argue.

He didn't think there was any problem with this at first, otherwise he wouldn't have paid the price of "self-discipline", but as time went by, he found that the price was very dangerous.

After all, it's not always the right time to have a conversation or an argument.

In an emergency, life and death might be decided in a second or two. To separate out the thoughts and debates is to think that he didn't die fast enough, and this would also make Yue Qifan's popularity worse.

To this end, he ordered this thin metal tube through the religious group.

As long as he held it in his mouth to remind himself constantly, Yue Qifan would be able to control himself to a certain extent.

And when you need to do stealth operations, this "blow arrow" can also be used as a weapon.

Of course, the price cannot be completely avoided. Yue Qifan can only guarantee that as long as others don't talk about topics related to him, he can barely keep his mouth shut.

The operation he designed did not undoubtedly give the target a chance to speak.

He also believes that no human being can face danger without dodging, without fighting back, and speaking first.

Who knows, today he encountered such a strange person.

And this weirdo is still mocking him.

How can this be tolerated

At this time, Shang Jianyao, who faced Yue Qifan's rhetorical question, made a second round of response.

"Could it be that your hard mouth is also your price?" As Shang Jianyao spoke, his ankles, knees, and back exerted force at the same time, rushing towards Yue Qifan like a beast.

He wants to close the distance between the two sides.

Suddenly, Shang Jianyao felt that his body lost balance in an instant.

For him, similar actions are simply a piece of cake, and there will be no mistakes one hundred times.

Who knows, today, somehow, he lost his balance in mid-air.

boom!

Shang Jianyao fell to the ground.

"Truth doesn't need words." Yue Qifan took out another tube of "Dark Arrows" from his pocket.

He prepared more than one weapon!

While speaking, Yue Qifan pressed the switch with a smile.

His third Awakened ability is:

"Balance Disorder"!

The effective range is six meters.

Shang Jianyao rushed over like this and hit him right in his arms.

Of course, he didn't want such a development at first, because at this distance, the target's Awakener ability can also play a role.

Fortunately, this change is very beneficial to him.

With a swoosh, a small metal arrow shot out and went straight to Shang Jianyao on the ground.

Shang Jianyao only had time to change his position slightly, avoiding the key point of his head.

puff!

The small metal arrow was inserted from his left shoulder to his chest.

Shang Jianyao immediately kicked a carp and stood up, showing no signs of being paralyzed.

Facing Yue Qifan's surprised gaze, he pulled out the small arrow, threw it on the ground, and said with a smile:

"I've been wearing body armor all this time!"

Although the deaths of Wang Yafei and Shen Du were obviously not part of the shooting, Jiang Baimian, for the sake of safety, approved a body armor for each team member after Shang Jianyao officially intervened in this matter.

-In "Pangu Creatures", firearms and bullets are strictly controlled. Jiang Baimian's live ammunition training must be reported in advance, and the cumbersome process must be followed, but bulletproof vests are not only easy to apply for, but also as long as the team is in the team. Equipped with, the team leader can have the final say.

"Coward." Yue Qifan forcefully argued.

While speaking, he turned around suddenly and was about to run away.

In this situation, he felt that he had no chance of winning.

As for how to end it, leave it to the saint to worry about it!

However, as soon as Yue Qifan turned around, a strong emotion emerged in his heart:

How can you escape

How can you just give up like this

How can you leave in such a shame

While his thoughts were floating, he turned back to his body and rushed towards Shang Jianyao.

His dark brown eyes seemed to have turned pure black.

Almost at the same time, Shang Jianyao only felt that intangible things were expanding in his mind.

They lifted off like stars and filled all the surrounding areas.

And in every "star", there is a period of life that Shang Jianyao has experienced.

At this time, a ray of light drilled in from the outside, carrying a "star", across the sky, and fell into the illusory "sea of origin".

Shang Jianyao's brows suddenly wrinkled, seeming to be confused about what he is doing now.

Yue Qifan also woke up, his pupils suddenly dilated:

"Fuck, why didn't I run away

"It also uses the ability of 'Segment Memory Erase' to attack...

"Is this the ability of the Awakened that makes people behave irrationally?"

Yue Qifan instantly understood what had just happened, and his heart thumped wildly.

His "segment memory erasure" ability is not a combat ability at all, because it is necessary to read the memory in advance, and mark the fragments that need to be erased, which do not exceed three minutes, in order to achieve accurate effect.

This takes a lot of time, and the distance between the two sides must be within three meters.

Just now, he just erased a piece of memory at will by instinct, and he didn't know what effect it would have.

It is also difficult to cause substantial damage to the target, after all, the three-minute memory fragment can represent too little and too little.

Shang Jianyao frowned and looked at Yue Qifan, whose peaked cap was very low, without speaking or doing anything.

"..." Yue Qifan's heart moved, "I won't erase the memory of our fight just now, right? He doesn't remember that we are enemies, and he doesn't even know that I attacked him..."

Thinking of this, Yue Qifan was overjoyed and straightened his back.

He hummed a song pretending to be relaxed, and bent over to pick up the thin metal pipe and a small arrow on the ground.

After doing this, he lowered the peaked cap to prevent Shang Jianyao from seeing his appearance clearly.

One step, two steps, three steps, Yue Qifan hummed a song and walked slowly into the distance.

"Hello." At this moment, Shang Jianyao suddenly turned around and shouted.

Yue Qifan's pupils became larger, his back was sweating, and he ran wild without thinking.

Watching his back disappear at the corner of the "street", Shang Jianyao let out an "uh" and said to himself:

"He can't accept the evaluation of his singing ability?"

No. 12, Zone C, Floor 349.

Jiang Baimian logged into his account and wrote an email seriously.

After deciding who to send, she moved the mouse and snapped the left button.
