At the side entrance of the "Jiuqu City 50,000 Man Stadium", Gu Jianxi, who had just participated in the knockout round of the top 32 and watched the lottery ceremony, put his hands in his pockets, walked out, and turned to the alley behind.
He has a hairstyle that is common in war-torn areas, with braids all over his head, and a black and blue clown tattoo at the place where his neck and cheeks connect. The further down, the more exposed skin, the more patterns, dense, Layers upon layers, it makes people feel palpitations.
There are unreliable rumors in the world that whenever Gu Jianxi experiences a major event, he will get a tattoo as a commemoration. For example, the "clown" head portrait represents his first murder!
At this time, Gu Jianxi was wearing a black-based, colorful hip-hop T-shirt. He didn't look like a famous and powerful outsider, but rather a rapper.
Just as he was about to turn a corner, a male reporter who had been waiting here for a long time, his eyes lit up, jumped over, raised the microphone and said:
"Mr. Gu, what do you think about the match against Lou Cheng in the top 16?"
Because it is forbidden to interview warriors before the start of the competition, so as not to disturb the emotions of the contestants, he has to seize the fleeting opportunity of this day and two nights!
Before the words were finished, the reporter with two pimples on his forehead saw Gu Jianxi looking over him coldly, his wolf-like eyes that were eager to devour people made him shudder.
Me, I'll just ask... You, you don't have to answer... The comrade reporter opened his mouth to explain, but he couldn't even stammer out the words, his voice just swirled in his throat.
It is worthy of being a "clown" with more than a hundred lives in his hands! He sighed secretly in fear and fear.
This is based on the premise that "clowns" seldom go abroad after the success of the final product.
Gu Jianxi withdrew his gaze and uttered three words coldly:
"I don't think so."
I don't think so... The reporter's head was empty and his body stood there stiffly. He didn't slow down until the "clown" took a few steps forward, keenly tasting the emotions hidden in Gu Jianxi's words.
He's pissed off by the question, so no comment
Why angry? Was it because the question insulted him
With a flash of inspiration, the reporter ran to catch up, panting slightly:
"Mr. Gu, do you think there is no need to discuss this game? Do you think there is only one result, and you think you are sure to win?"
Gu Jianxi glanced sideways at him expressionlessly, and replied in a calm tone:
"yes."
The simple word "yes" fell into my ears, and the reporter seemed to hear the sound of nature, and felt that today's big news had arrived!
It is worthy of being a "clown" with the name of "uprightness"!
He is not hypocritical, euphemistic, fearful, or perfunctory, and he always speaks directly when he has something to say!
Taking a deep breath, the reporter turned his head and hurriedly added another question, a more pointed one:
"Do you think that in the top sixteen, Lou Cheng is an exception, a product of luck, not enough to compete with you?"
Just after asking, he suddenly noticed that Gu Jianxi's eyes darkened, and his eyes became like X-rays, seeming to clearly illuminate every dirty thought in his heart.
Gu Jianxi stared at him for ten seconds, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, as if he had been stabbed continuously with a sword, as if he had come to the brink of terrifying death.
Drops of sweat the size of soybeans slid down his forehead. Just when the reporter felt that he could not bear it any longer and his body and mind were about to collapse, Gu Jianxi turned his head and entered the alley, leaving a light and indifferent answer:
"currently."
When his back disappeared, the reporter relaxed, bowed his body limply, put his hands on his knees, and retched for a while.
It is now... it is now... He stood up straight again, chewing on these three words, an excited smile gradually appeared on his face.
Ten minutes later, many shocking headlines popped up on the Internet:
"Shock! 'Joker' sees nothing!"
"I'm sure to win! Gu Jianxi declared so."
"'Joker' says Lou Cheng is not worthy of the top sixteen of 'Grandmaster Battle'!"
…
"It's lively now... everywhere is noisy..." Xin Xiaoyue, who had just entered the hotel lobby, looked at her phone and clicked her tongue.
At this time, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the gloomy Gu Jianxi appearing at the main entrance.
"Have you read it?" Xin Xiaoyue raised her phone.
Gu Jianxi nodded without any extra expression, indicating that he already knew about today's headlines and the quarrel between the two fans.
"Hey, it's not that you don't know, these reporters, if you get one point, they can exaggerate it to five points." Xin Xiaoyue said casually, "If it were me, it would definitely be exaggerated to a point. !"
She didn't expect Gu Jianxi to answer something, but after a few seconds of silence, the other party explained two sentences concisely, and there were really only two sentences:
"I'm telling the truth."
"An angry prey is easier to deal with."
After two sentences, Gu Jianxi closed his mouth, and walked towards the elevator entrance with a gloomy expression as usual, leaving the flattered Xin Xiaoyue in a daze.
...
Lou Cheng sat cross-legged on the bed, while comforting his own wife, while watching Yan Xiaoling and the others who exploded in anger, talking about it, he seemed like an outsider.
He knew very well that there was nothing wrong with what the other party said, and with his newly consolidated strength, he could win against the "nervous knife" who came up on a whim, but it was almost impossible to defeat him.
Looking at the top sixteen warriors, I am indeed much inferior to the others, and even I have complained about sheep falling into wolves.
So nothing to be angry about.
Of course, if there is no anger, it does not mean that he is not depressed. He clearly knows that he can accept it rationally without expressing it.
Give me another two years, no, one year, even if I don't get the title, I still have the qualifications to stand here!
When the time comes, I will beat you upright!
While his thoughts were racing, he put more energy into watching the battle video of "Joker" and watching the "dead part" unique skill that mixed with a little cold and rigid meaning.
With such earnestness and concentration, the knockout round of the top 16 will come soon.
...
At 7:30 in the evening at the beginning of November, it was already chilly, and the crowds of spectators, against the howling autumn wind, filled the "Jiuqu City Stadium of 50,000 people" to a full capacity, leaving only the passageway between the battlefield and the trampling on guard. The slot for the event.
After hearing Little Fairy's cheering voice, Lou Cheng restrained his emotions, neither angry nor happy, stood up without expecting or giving up, and walked towards the locker room.
He didn't think about what would happen if he won this game, or what would happen if he lost, but only thought about how to do his best to seize the chance of victory that might appear.
Walking through the long aisle and stepping onto the field where there is no longer any green grass, Lou Cheng, who was wearing a white martial arts uniform with dragon and tiger patterns on the bottom, saw Gu Jianxi who was already standing opposite him.
This "clown" is all black, and even his eyes seem to be in the middle of the night without stars and moons. His demeanor is cold and dangerous, and it seems that if he disagrees with him, he will violently kill people.
The profile picture of the "clown" with blackish green and grinning teeth came into view, and Lou Cheng's heart suddenly flashed a little bit about the other party:
Coming from a war-torn area, growing up in a fight...
Amazing talent, no great martial arts, but can always kill opponents...
Discovered by the elder Ding Haizong, he introduced the sect and avoided the ending of always getting wet shoes when walking by the river...
As soon as he was a first rank, he was inhuman, and he jumped over the dragon gate in a few years, and now he is a first rank...
I don't like to be sociable, and I don't do hypocritical things, even if I offend many people because of it...
The unique skills of the "Death Department" complement his talent, he is a killer warrior, and he never shows mercy...
He is also the type who plays better when the scene is bigger, but when encountering opponents who are weaker than himself, he will not be careless, and he will be fierce and deadly...
While thinking, Lou Cheng saw the referee and announced the start of the conversation.
Gu Jianxi didn't make a sound, just looked at Lou Cheng like that, like a poisonous snake staring at a frog.
Lou Cheng didn't think there was anything at first, but after being stared at for ten seconds, he gradually had the idea of wanting to escape and unwilling to face it, and gradually became restless.
He hurriedly condensed his ice heart to relieve the invisible oppression and the strong premonition of danger that was as real as it was.
The dark starry sky emerged, deeper than the night, and the bright stars moved slowly, heavy and scorching hot.
Lou Cheng tried to shake the "clown" with his own aura, but Gu Jianxi was unmoved, as if he had lost all consciousness, and still stared at Lou Cheng, making his heart tremble slightly.
Are you playing a staring game where whoever blinks first loses? Lou Cheng suddenly had a similar thought, and almost made himself laugh, Bing Xin regained her calmness and clarity.
He didn't take the opportunity to condense the "five fires", because today's style of play will be different from before.
At this moment, the referee shouted across the venue:
"start!"
With a bang, Lou Cheng spun his heels, turned his back, and suddenly swayed the blizzard that enveloped the surroundings.
There was a gust of white wind, and he swam away quickly, constantly changing positions, showing the posture of fighting, but Gu Jianxi didn't move, and stood there with his eyes squinted.
Seeing this situation, Lou Cheng pressed his thumb, and shot out a crystal clear and cold light with a whoosh sound. Then, he moved his feet, changed to another place and punched violently, blasting out a cloud of purple meteor-like flames.
Snapped! boom!
"Ice Soul Divine Light" and "Xingjun Ziyan", "Joker" Gu Jianxi didn't dodge a lot, just took two steps, dodging just right in the most economical way.
Whoosh whoosh! Boom boom boom!
Lou Cheng kept walking and attacking from a distance in the blizzard, letting the cold light and Ziyan dance together, while Gu Jianxi kept the style just now, moving his figure precisely and economically.
This allowed Lou Cheng to almost predict his next move, and subconsciously paused for two seconds, so as to chop the clown and let him slam into the Bing Po Shenguang himself!
At this time, Gu Jianxi suddenly moved, he didn't dodge as Lou Cheng expected, but bent his back, and threw himself at the opponent, who was slow!
A black shadow was blurred due to the high speed, and it quickly approached in front of him, Lou Cheng had no time to dodge, he dodged, clenched his fist and smashed obliquely, half-blocking and half-moving.
boom! Under him, the mud and rocks suddenly exploded, one hand clenched into a fist, rushed up from the cracked ground, and hit Lou Cheng's vitals!
And that fuzzy black shadow was instantly illusory, distorted and disappeared!
