Master of the Stars

Chapter 1633: Chess and card room (Part 2)

Views:

There are many details that everyone sees, and they are not consistent, which is inevitably a bit confusing.

"Where is the Vulcan Ant?"

"It came out of the crack, on the tiger's shoulder. Is it just a crack in the mountain?"

"... Well, just this one?"

Maoyan frowned, and Long Qi also frowned.

These people in the "cinema" were all caught off guard by the sudden change of situation. Even though their brains were running at high speed and capturing all kinds of information, they couldn't tell the difference.

Zhang Yingying, who is currently "operating" in the area, firmly said: "The surrounding void structure has cracked. Tsk, a rotten apple with a piece missing... the bugs are all half-cut."

Not everyone can understand Zhang Yingying's description. But there is one thing. When the space-time structure cracks, the material structure relying on it is almost impossible to survive.

This is the case with cracked mountains.

But the most eye-catching thing now is the gray smoke flowing out from the cracks in the mountain. It is as thick as oil, and it seems to have turned into the tentacles of a demon, grabbing the tiger's head, body and limbs, and pushing him into the cliff. Pull.

The Vulcan Ant caught by Long Qi's sight was wrapped in this layer of "oil" and flowed onto the Tiger's shoulder, where it hung.

On the contrary, the swarms of abnormal mosquitoes covering his body instinctively felt the danger and took off one after another, trying to escape.

At this moment, the tiger's lowered eyelids were raised, his lips were closed, and his hazy eyes like big insects shot out with cold light. The mosquitoes around him, whether they were still attached or had just taken flight, exploded almost at the same time. Open, blood mist fills the air.

Perhaps it was also stimulated by the explosion of blood mist, and the gray smoke that had just flowed out rolled back, covering most of the blood mist, and mixed together to form a complex and twisted pattern.

Long Qi made a sound, but soon felt that the pattern composed of gray matter and blood mist was inexplicably familiar.

I've obviously seen him somewhere... It doesn't seem to be that long ago.

When Long Qi was stunned, the tiger, who had been "pretending to be dead" before, raised his face that looked more like a skeleton than ever before, grinned at the void in front of him, and perhaps the "control line" in the void, and let those who fell The thick gray matter rolled back and headed towards the gap between the cracked mountains.

Even if the mountain is obviously cracked, those gaps are actually not enough to accommodate a big frame like Tiger.

But if the space-time structure is also cracked at the same time, it will be different.

The speed at which the crack "engulfs" the tiger is not very fast, but it is smooth and silky without any hindrance.

Looking at such a scene, Long Qi had been in and out of the "buffer zone" several times, and he recognized it immediately:

"The cave is not... the mist maze!"

Yin Le was confused: "Is there also an entrance to the mist maze here?"

"The fog maze is fully interfering with the earth's local time and space. Theoretically, it can be entered from any corner of the earth. Of course, the weak point at the junction of the two space-time structures will definitely be easier... Not to mention if there is a connection on the other side. "

She spoke in snake language, and this was the most she had said today.

Tiger has been in and out of Cave No. 2, the buffer zone between the mist maze and local time and space for such a long time. It is not surprising to Long Qi that he knows some related techniques.

But in a situation like this, it's not that simple no matter how you look at it.

At this time, the blood-sucking and marrow-eating aberrant mosquitoes on the tiger's body have been completely obliterated and exploded. Only the pattern of explosive blood mist and gray matter miasma continues to deepen, but it is becoming more and more stable, pulling the tiger's hand. At the same time, it also fits the tiger's body, covering his body that is about to degenerate into a skeleton.

The fit is so high that the outline of the tiger's head, body and limbs can be clearly seen, including the severed hand... It's almost like it has been reshaped.

Moreover, looking at the color changes of the body, gray matter, and blood mist, it seems that some exchanges are still taking place between the three.

"Well, there are traces of the influence of external spiritual waves..." Zhang Yingying was still thinking.

On the other side, the bamboo pole has asserted: "Sacred space."

"Grass!"

Long Qi breathed out fragrance again, but it was not just because of the judgment of the Blood Ring Fortress, but at the same time he remembered where he had seen the pattern of blood mist and gray matter intertwined.

Isn't this the "tattoo" that appeared on Tiger's left hand

It was he who cooperated with the Order of Justice and prepared to sacrifice his left hand to explore the mystery of the mist maze and the traces left behind by the Order of Justice.

During this period, Tiger, Li Taisheng and others ran to Cave No. 2 every day...

Sacrifice, mist maze, the left hand parasitized by the Skeleton Demon King, and the newly discovered "sacred space".

These elements are presented at the same time. Although the context and details are difficult to understand, it is enough to make people aware:

The tiger did indeed have a backup plan for this.

Moreover, he is not fighting alone, he is probably working with the Order of Justice - it has always been like this.

Long Qi was inevitably thinking: The so-called "priest meeting" of the Justice Order had come sooner rather than later. Why was it held today when the Joker was about to take action? Let Li Taisheng and Ryu Seungjae, the two parties involved in the Justice Order, stay away

Moreover, Tiger chose him over no one else...

There is probably something to say here.

Long Qi also noticed that thousands of deformed mosquitoes were blown into blood mist, but the Vulcan Ants that were very close at hand were unscathed.

Regardless of why this Vulcan Ant appeared by chance, this round of attacks was either deliberate on the part of the tiger, or it was a special attack method targeting these mosquitoes and even the "Skeleton Demon King" series.

The latter is more likely.

This further proves the tiger’s deliberate intentions.

"Are you going to drag him back?" Zhang Yingying suddenly asked.

"Is this okay?"

"It's not easy to accomplish anything, but isn't it easy to do bad things?"

The problem is, the tiger's movements now make it impossible to tell the difference between friend and foe.

Except for the suspicion of cheating Long Qi, there were no obvious hostile actions.

Speaking of which, his suspected partner, the "Justice Order", is currently an ally with a certain "living god".

Whether the Vulcan ant on the shoulder is controlled by someone and by whom is also very telling.

There was silence for a moment at both the "cinema" and the Blood Ring Fortress.

Maoyan sighed: "What a mess the earth is now..."

Long Qi asked again: "Does the Blood Ring Fortress have any means to interfere with the Mist Maze?"

Zhang Yingying answered readily: "Obviously not."

"Where's the magneto-optical mica?"

"I don't think I've heard of it."

"is that so?"

"That's all I said, just listen to it."

Long Qi grinned. If this is true, the two most important interference platforms currently lack intervention methods for the fog maze. Doesn’t it mean that there is a huge gap in the Roche system

Isn't it

Everyone knows that the foundation of the "living god" and the "new plane" that makes almost everyone in the world drool is most likely located in the mist maze. Although that person has always emphasized that Li Wei and others have also explored the fog maze very deeply, but it should be half of the home field.

This lack of interference is somewhat unjustifiable.

Or is it that an environment like the fog maze is naturally not suitable for the intervention of similar forces

Long Qi still knew too little information and couldn't think of a reason.

At this time, he heard a low sneer.

Comes from snake language.

At this time, under the influence of everyone's psychological influence, the tiger was able to safely enter the crack in the space-time structure and completely escape into the fog maze - taking the Vulcan ant with him.

In the "cinema" and over there at the Bloody Ring Fortress, nothing happened for a while.

On the contrary, it was over the current main battlefield, that is, the connection between the Changwei River supply point and the three spires, that the two sides who were locked in a stalemate suddenly separated.

After all, the clown's face still couldn't avoid Raven's sharp sword finger.

There was a deep scar on the cheekbone of the left cheek, which was particularly stiff. It felt like it might have been another penetrating wound a little further in.

In fact, this is no different from a penetrating injury. From the cheekbone to the drooping ear, it is almost a straight line, and the outer part is directly cut off, forming a semi-tube-shaped break.

There was still no blood flowing out, but the muscles in the injured area were obviously atrophied.

Even so, half of the clown's cheek did not twitch at all, but the smile on the right half of his face looked even brighter and weirder.

"Tiger... you're waiting for this too, right?"

Raven was still standing in front of the clown, her body hanging in the air, and her breathing rhythm seemed to have not changed.

In the new round of attack and defense, it seemed at first glance that she had the upper hand, but if she looked more carefully, she could see that her left hand was slowly bending and extending. It was not particularly flexible and showed obvious signs of dryness.

At the "Movie Theater", Long Qi and Maoyan said "Oops" almost at the same time.

After seeing the scene of the wave of aberrant mosquitoes raging before, everyone knew that Ruiwen must have fallen into a similar trick.

Moreover, it is the clown who does the trick...or the "skeleton devil" in his stomach.

Maoyan shouted immediately: "Yingying!"

"He's staring at it." Zhang Yingying's voice became much tighter, "The platform has never cooperated with Ruiwen, so it's difficult to handle blessings; the clown is too fast, and long-range attacks are difficult to use... I'm considering using a 'control line'. But I haven’t tried using this thing in combat.”

"Just push it up, three swords and six holes... You can multiply it by ten. It just serves as a distraction." The sound of the bamboo pole also came over, which was relatively calm.

"Let me try… "

Their conversation did not affect the communication on the battlefield. To be more precise, it’s the clown’s chatter:

"You don't want the 'Skeleton Demon King' to enter the mist maze, but now that the tiger has entered with its bloodline, it doesn't seem to make any difference. The matter has come to this, why don't you get out of the way, and let's continue fighting in the mist maze. Is that okay?"

Raven slowly shook her head: "I didn't stop you."

The clown was somewhat surprised, raised half of his eyebrows, and then grinned: "Then what are you doing?"

Raven thought for a while: "Collect data, observe the situation, and control the situation."

"Is this arranged by your cheap brother?"

This answer was unexpected by the clown. As he spoke, he raised his right hand and looked at the traces left on the sharp fingertips.

It was this hand that broke through Ruiwen's defense just now and almost destroyed the little girl's left arm. But looking at it now, there were no blood stains or body tissue fragments on it. Instead, there were a little bit of scorch marks, which made The person shook his head.

"I have collected a lot of samples, but have never been able to preserve them... C2834, experimental subjects like you are probably the most annoying type in the laboratory."

"This guy has such a bad mouth!" Long Qi frowned in the "cinema".

The fact that "Riven came from Levi's laboratory" has been exaggerated by the "Miss Two Thousandth Incident". It can be said that everyone in the other world knows and knows about it, but it is only in the other world. The vast majority of people on the earth still only know the origins of Raven's life from what was unearthed when the "Evil Eye Girl Incident" first started, which roughly ends with the underground fighting arena. I finally knew that Ruiwen was just an adopted orphan with a poor background. If I went deeper, I would need to "break the wall" in the information channel.

Although now is the time to "push down the wall", Long Qi always feels that it is not the same to have this secret revealed in front of millions of people.

On the contrary, the person involved seemed particularly indifferent.

"oh."

Raven did not ignore the question and simply responded. But the important point is that during this period, her left hand, which was obviously dry and stiff, became plump again between flexion and extension, regaining the elasticity and luster that a living body should have.

From beginning to end, Ruiwen herself was very calm.

On the other hand, the clown opposite her stared intently. The right pupil matched the expressive half of the face, and every texture revealed unabashed envy and greed:

"How great would it be if this was mine too?"

"What a beautiful idea, go away!" Long Qi sighed in the "cinema" and was surprised, "Is Ruiwen so strong? Can such an injury recover spontaneously?"

"It seems that the president also said that Ruiwen's tissue samples cannot be preserved..."

The "president" Maoyan mentioned could only be Ouyang Chen. As he spoke, he glanced at Long Qi and said, "It was the time when I was seriously injured by your particle cannon and fell into coma."

Long Qi shut up immediately.

Although he did not fire the cannon himself, he was definitely the one who went into the water to "retrieve the corpse" at that time.

At this time, the clown turned the topic back to the tiger: "Do you know what the tiger's plan is for going in such a big circle?"

This time, Raven remained silent, but stared at the clown's face very seriously.

"Are you interested?" The clown smiled half-faced, "I'm not the roundworm in the tiger's belly, but I can probably guess a little: he is probably looking for a place where he doesn't play cards according to the rules of both sides. In today's world, even if It is the so-called other world where extraordinary abilities grow wildly. After entering the level of extraordinary species, there are almost no exceptions. They all follow the direction drawn by Li Wei... Everyone is already suffering, but now your brother pops up again. .”

Saying that, the clown

Therefore, he turned his head to look at Long Qi in the shadow of the wall with a relatively large angle. This was not enough, so he half-twisted his body and cast his eyes on the road leading down the mountain.

Although Long Qi's perception was currently divided between two sides, his scalp was numb after being glanced at by the clown.

Mao Yan was a little strange: "What was he looking at on the mountain road?"

"Tiger?"

"Go directly to the fog maze to find it..."

"Who is this?"

It was Zhang Yingying who quickly locked onto the target through the interference of the "control line". In the newly presented "Picture-in-Picture", a low-altitude flying shuttle rises against the cliff - this kind of shuttle is basically the most convenient means of transportation in the "Baifengjun" mountainous area at this stage. It is affected by bad mountain roads and can maneuver quickly. Apart from the small number of passengers, there is basically nothing wrong with it.

However, given the current level of chaos in the mountainous area, there is a considerable probability of accidents when flying at such a low altitude.

Then, Long Qi saw the figure in the shuttle cockpit. He was stunned for a moment: "Lao Yao? What's going on?"

"Isn't this the guide?" Zhang Yingying must be the one who will watch the relevant live broadcast from beginning to end, and the identification staff is also very quick. "The one who Boss Luo helped reshape the arm... Hey, isn't he here to support you?"

"this… "

Indeed, Lao Yao, who has been handling his own real estate affairs in Yingtoudui during this period, may be the person closest to the Three Spiers.

But with his ability, wouldn't rushing forward at this stage be courting death

Zhang Yingying praised: "You are very popular!"

Long Qi urged: "Hurry up and ask him to turn around and go back. I'm afraid he doesn't know what's going on here."

"He must have come here after seeing the live broadcast, but he really can't get involved here... But I don't have his contact information."

Maoyan took the initiative and said, "I'll call Fries and ask him to contact Lao Yao."

During the tense dispatch here, the clown had already withdrawn his gaze and stared at Raven again: "You know, remote platforms and stuff are really annoying. What your cheap brother does can basically cover every corner of the earth... It’s also very annoying.”

What he said had nothing to do with Long Qi or Lao Yao, but it seemed to include a little bit of everything.

Raven remained silent in response, but her gaze on the clown's face seemed to be more focused.

The clown was still chattering: "In my opinion, Luo and Li, there is no difference between the two sides' approaches. Or the 'goals' are different, but the 'goals' can change at any time, but the means of doing things will not change. Besides, , the so-called 'gods' often have a very far-sighted vision. Most people can't even understand the life in front of them. How can they think of being with him? Believe it or not, there are tens of billions of people on the earth. Once you get past the initial freshness, you will feel disgusted with the gods above your head...

"Of course, I believe that your advantageous brother has 10,000 ways to control the situation in a short period of time, but after all, it is only for a short period of time. Do you believe it or not?"

Raven actually nodded slightly.

The clown was even more happy when he saw this, at least he acted like this: "As for the tiger, he was just more rebellious earlier, thinking about bypassing the pattern you planned for him and taking his own path."

In the "cinema", Maoyan asked Long Qi: "Is that so?"

"How do I know?" Long Qi thought it was ridiculous, "Does he know what the talking tiger thinks? How does the clown know?"

On the other side of the battlefield, the Joker took it for granted: "Under the background of this era, the Tiger's ideas are somewhat childish. But how can I put it? His direction seems to be correct. In my impression, the members of the Justice Order are somewhat childish." The 'Great Replacement' is indeed a way to circumvent the current universal rules, but I don't know who reminded him..."

"Is the Order of Justice so special?" This time it was Long Qi's turn to ask.

No one responded to him.

The more the clown talked, the happier he became, and the more crazy he became: "So, both sides are the same type of people, and they must let people within the scope of their abilities do things in the prescribed way. The reason is that it is more convenient to do so." Efficient... Oh, your cheap brother still needs to find a reason, but the other side doesn't need it. I think it's better not to find reasons. If you talk too much, it will make people sick! Don't you think so? "

This time, Raven did not nod. She maintained a very serious attitude, looked at the clown for about three to five seconds, and suddenly said:

"Which 'I'?"

"Um?"

Raven shook her head again this time: "You shouldn't rush to change the fragment arrangement pattern."

The clown couldn't understand for a moment. He was not pretending, but was really confused: "What are you talking about?"

At the "Cinema" and the Blood Ring Fortress, they felt inexplicably that Ruiwen's expression mode at this time was particularly similar to that of a single person.

And whenever that person expresses this, something particularly weird and absurd often happens...

Long Qize felt something in his heart and turned his attention to the "slicing layer" that he had not paid attention to for a long time.

At this time, the scene around the clown's body was probably the clearest it had ever been since Long Qi knew about "slicing the aberrant gene fragments". Between his chest and abdomen, the blood moon was like a wheel, and all the colorful "star pills" that had been densely covered before were pushed far away.

These "star pills" are still rotating around the "blood moon", and their complexity is no less than when they were densely woven and mixed at the beginning.

But the corresponding structure is different after all.

Raven was still looking at the clown and said softly: "Sometimes, structure is much more important than texture. The most valuable things only exist within the established structural framework. Once they change, the value of those things, and even the things themselves, will change and die... No matter how cautious you are, you can never be too cautious. So, why do you change so easily? Don’t you feel uneasy?”

The right side of the clown's face was still smiling exaggeratedly, but the smile slowly twitched and began to incorporate other elements.

Raven glanced at the clown's face and naked upper body. Except for those old scars, all the injuries she had caused to the clown today were on the left side - including the broken and divided half of the mosquito's wings.

"It should have feelings. You subconsciously want to control and destroy the power that threatens you, but it is not a physical object, it is just hidden in the changing structure."

Raven lowered her eyes and sighed slightly: "That's too difficult."

In this weak sigh, the right half of the clown's smiling face was completely out of control, twitching violently, twisting uncontrollably, and then tightening - until all the exaggerated aftertaste dissipated, leaving only the most basic musculoskeletal structure. The natural state is unified with the unchanging expression on the left half of the face.

The clown closed his eyes and opened them again, but his eyes became particularly calm and stable.

He stared at Raven for a moment, opened and closed his lips and teeth in an unprecedentedly small manner, and whispered:

"So, do you still want to struggle?"
