Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 40: chase

Views:

Jiang Baimian was very busy, so he had to keep his eyes on the front, afraid of driving the jeep into the swamp, or letting the car overturn by obstacles such as stones and tree roots, and at the same time, he had to sense various electrical signals around him, and distinguish the mechanical monk from them. Whether the Pure Law has arrived, and what is the current state

However, this did not affect her thinking, and her brain seemed to be optimized due to genetic improvement.

"At that moment..." Jiang Baimian replied with deliberation, but his voice was louder than normal, "I am in a very strange state, I don't know who I am, and I don't know what I am going to do, uh... It's not that there is a problem with memory, I was able to recall a lot of things that had happened before, but I couldn't get any information about who I was or what I was going to do."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian habitually self-examined:

"I thought that the body that affected the purification method would make him unable to use the ability of the awakened person, but the judgment was wrong...

"Is this the difference between mechanical monks and ordinary humans?"

Bai Chen heard the words and shook his head:

"This has nothing to do with the error of judgment. At that time, it was a counterattack in a desperate situation, and there was no way to think about it that much."

After Shang Jianyao fixed the buckles of the leg joints, he raised his head and said:

"Many abilities of the awakened people are more dependent, dependent, probably on consciousness, the impact of the physical aspect, for example, through trauma to the body, causing severe pain, so that the awakened person can't think, can't transfer consciousness to the focus, then he It should not be able to use the ability... "

While talking, Shang Jianyao suddenly fell silent, as if thinking that this could also be used against himself.

Without waiting for Jiang Baimian and others to speak, he took a breath and continued:

"Similarly, if he can stun the awakened person with one punch, he will definitely not be able to use his abilities."

After giving the example, Shang Jianyao thought about it and agreed with Jiang Baimian's previous judgment:

"In this regard, mechanical monks are indeed different from ordinary humans."

Jiang Baimian laughed at himself and said:

"Unfortunately, my 'golden finger' is not too strong. If I can quickly invade the energy supply system of the purification method and turn off his power, then he should not be able to use the ability of the awakened person. It's not right, the ghost knows." How long can the immortal's consciousness remain awake after being separated from the maintenance of the bionic chip.

"Ha, you should also pay attention, you can't be too self-confident in life. If there is no evidence, it is best to be more suspicious of your own judgment."

Bai Chen was slightly stunned to hear this, and glanced sideways at Jiang Baimian:

"Team leader, you seem to be in good shape, and your mood is not low at all."

You must know that they are being hunted down by terrifying mechanical monks, and the main theme of their state and emotions should be tension, depression, anger, depression and anxiety.

"It's much better now than when I was caught by Jingfa before, shouldn't I be happy and happy?" Jiang Baimian has always been focusing on sensing the surroundings, "If I didn't have a business meeting just now and couldn't get rid of it, I really fell into that mentality. In the hands of twisted perverts, the end will be miserable, miserable. Although I have not seen the bodies of those women killed by the pure method, I have heard people describe... "

Mentioning this matter, Jiang Baimian, who has always been quite optimistic, couldn't help but make his expression gloomy.

She didn't start talking about it, worried that it would affect the state of Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong.

At this time, Shang Jianyao had finished wearing the military exoskeleton device.

His lips moved a few times and finally opened:

"Normally, an awakened person has only three abilities."

Jiang Baimian turned the steering wheel and let the jeep bypass a tree growing in the middle of the road:

"Three kinds... The ones that purify the law are: the ones that make me wonder who I am... 'Hungry Ghost Realm'... What else?"

Long Yuehong, who was listening quietly, suddenly thought of the answer:

"He has a heart!

"Jingfa said that he has his own mind and can hear some of the voices in other people's hearts."

"The three abilities are all in place... Maybe we can consider this aspect and find a clever way to deal with the purification method. Ah yes, the abilities of the awakened person should be limited in scope..." Jiang Baimian said to himself as he drove.

However, she had been talking to herself so loudly that everyone else could hear it quite clearly.

Shang Jianyao thoughtfully replied:

"When he uses his telepathy and the ability to make you self-perceive errors, he is within one meter, and he can't judge how many meters can be separated."

Jiang Baimian thought for a while, then smiled a little and said:

"But it's not impossible to make a rough judgment.

"When he pounced on us from a tree in the distance, he chose the 'Hungry Ghost Realm'.

"This choice speaks for itself: either the range of capabilities to make one's self-perceptions go wrong is far less than that of the Hungry Ghost Realm, or it can only target one person, and the Hungry Ghost Realm can affect specific Everyone in the area."

Bai Chen then recalled:

"I have an impression. When I found that there were 'starving ghosts' around, Jingfa just jumped up from a tree in the distance, about 20 meters away from us, or a little more."

She knows more about the teachings, stories, and legends of the monk order than Jiang Baimian.

"Well, you need to remember: the effective range of 'Hungry Ghost Dao' is at least twenty meters." Jiang Baimian slightly amplified his voice.

Shang Jianyao was silent for a while and said:

"He's better than me."

"I don't know how many times his age is yours, so is his age as an Awakener." Jiang Baimian reassured.

She had no way of knowing when Jingfa became an awakened person, but she could only judge from what the other party said just now that he should upload his consciousness into the robot body and become an "immortal person" after becoming an awakened person. A mechanical monk who was quite active in the late chaotic era before the new calendar.

At this time, Long Yuehong seemed to accept a fact:

His good friend, Shang Jianyao, who grew up together since childhood, is actually an Awakener, possessing strange and terrifying abilities!

He felt that he would never forget the scene he saw before:

The original murderous and determined mechanical monk Jingfa suddenly became extremely friendly after hearing two words from Shang Jianyao, and shook hands with Shang Jianyao to say goodbye, reluctantly.

This simply subverted Long Yuehong's cognition.

He looked at Shang Jianyao and couldn't help but ask:

"When did you become an Awakened?"

Shang Jianyao was silent for a while and said:

"Not long."

Long Yuehong wanted to ask something more, but suddenly felt that this was not very good, like spying on other people's secrets.

In the jeep, no one spoke for a short time.

Jiang Baimian broke this state, looked ahead, and said with a smile:

"Do you need us to keep things a secret?"

"Thank you." Shang Jianyao sighed slowly.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong successively stated that they must keep it a secret.

Shang Jianyao was about to say something when he suddenly saw a slight change in Jiang Baimian's expression.

At the same time, Jiang Baimian slammed the steering wheel, causing the jeep to turn a big corner.

Although Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong in the car were all wearing seat belts, they couldn't stop leaning to the right.

A grenade flew past and landed where they were supposed to be.

Boom!

Blazing flames bloomed, and the violent shock wave made the earth tremble slightly.

After the jeep made a turn, Jiang Baimian kicked the accelerator to the end, causing the vehicle to shoot out like an arrow.

With a snort, a crimson laser drilled into the ground, burning and melting a hole whose bottom could not be seen.

"Eleven o'clock." Seizing the opportunity, Bai Chen used the position of the clock to tell Jiang Baimian which direction to go, otherwise the vehicle would sink into the swamp and sink slowly.

Jiang Baimian was very familiar with this statement, and without conversion, he directly turned the steering wheel.

Then she whispered:

"See you in business."

Shang Jian Yao took a breath invisibly, and suddenly opened the door of the jeep in the Mercedes-Benz, slanted his body, and rolled down.

At the current speed of the jeep, under normal circumstances, he would inevitably be injured if he made such an attempt, but now, he is wearing a military-grade exoskeleton device.

With his arms propped up, Shang Jianyao bounced up easily and ran to the position where the grenade and laser were emitted in a snake-like movement.

He didn't bring an assault rifle and a submachine gun, because that didn't work against the mechanical monks.

What he can rely on is the grenade launcher and electromagnetic weapon that comes with the exoskeleton device itself.

Dengdengdeng, rushing without hesitation, Shang Jianyao saw the iron-black robot wearing a tattered monk's robe and a red cassock through the crystal goggles of the metal helmet.

But in the next second, Jingfa turned around and ran, making a circle with Shang Jianyao, and using the exoskeleton device's reaction speed and fluency to be inferior to the defects of the robot, gradually increasing the distance.

After chasing him for a while, Shang Jianyao lost the trace of the mechanical monk.

The comprehensive early warning system of the exoskeleton device also found nothing - obviously, the other party has targeted anti-warning capabilities.

Shang Jianyao, who could no longer catch up, had to go back the same way. Relying on the tracks of the jeep, he found Jiang Baimian and others, and then opened the door and boarded the car while the jeep stopped.

On the way back, he deliberately destroyed the traces of the wheels, and forged traces of damage in other directions, hoping to interfere with the judgment of the pure law.

"He's avoiding me." After Shang Jianyao closed the door, he briefly explained what happened next.

"He's afraid of you? Your ability to restrain him?" Long Yuehong gave her own thoughts subconsciously.

"No, he has a wider range of abilities." Shang Jianyao said without hesitation.

Jiang Baimian frowned slightly, and was about to speak when he slammed the steering wheel again.

Boom!

The long-range attack of the Pure Law is here again!

However, when Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a military exoskeleton device, got out of the car and ran over, Jingfa voluntarily backed away, opened the distance, and did not give him a chance to fight.

Once, twice, three times... and similar situations occur at unequal intervals.

"What is he trying to do?" Long Yuehong also noticed the problem.

Jiang Baimian pouted and said:

"Probably he brought a lot of high-performance batteries, and he feels that there is hope that our exoskeleton device will be exhausted. He is quite patient..."

"But, he can't carry many grenades." Long Yuehong asked the question reflexively.

Bai Chen glanced at the rearview mirror and said:

"The last few times, all he's used is a laser weapon."

Long Yuehong was suddenly a little worried:

"Then what should we do?"
