February 27, Tiandu, hl headquarters.
A soldier rushed into Kou Linzai's office in a panic. He didn't even bother to salute. He opened the door and said, "Sir! There is a serious situation in Shuangying County!"
When Kou Linzai saw that the other party did not have anything like documents in his hand, he immediately guessed something. He did not ask what happened, but asked: "Who asked you to come?"
"Uh..." The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "It's Mr. Marshal Smith."
"Does His Highness the Seventh Prince know?" Kou Linzai asked again.
"Yes... yes, I think the marshal also sent people to his place." The soldier replied.
"Where is the meeting place?" Kou Linzai cleared the table, closed the computer, stood up and walked to the door.
The soldier's reaction couldn't keep up with Kou Linzai's thinking. He almost instinctively turned back and exited the door. When he realized it, he was already leading the way for Kou Linzai: "In...in the conference room No. 4." He hesitated for a moment. : "Sir, how do you know I'm here for..."
"Let me attend an emergency military meeting?" Kou Linzai interrupted: "It can be seen from your expression that the so-called 'situation' is a very bad thing. Since it is so bad, Marshal Smith will not just send you to inform me. . Furthermore, you have already arrived before any face-to-face or electronic information has been given to me. That is an urgent military situation that cannot be reported in time. This kind of thing means that I have to go to a meeting." He said Then, he picked up the gourd and took a sip of it for himself, frowning and making a "ka..." sound. To others, it looked like he was drinking some good wine. In fact, drinking a sip of vinegar has the same reaction.
"Um... oh..." The soldier didn't know what to say, because he still didn't fully understand the entire reasoning process of the lord.
"So... while we're on our way there, can you tell me what you were going to talk about when you entered the door just now?" Kou Linzai walked quickly in the corridor, and now he turned into the soldier following him. gone.
… …
hours ago. Double Eagle County, suburb of Barnaul.
Today's weather forecast for Western Siberia is cloudy to overcast, with temperatures ranging from minus 15 to 20 degrees.
On a vast white plain, a black figure stood, extremely conspicuous.
The man wore a mirror mask, was wrapped in a black cloak, and had gloves on his hands. The collar is also raised very high, and no skin is exposed on the whole body.
The mirror-faced man didn't stand for long before his target arrived.
Three people came over, namely Marcus. Heavenly Sword, Domino. Yes, these three are all heavenly guards.
Remember, a so-called master will never show up in a sled with dogs dragging him when asked to fight. He doesn't know how to ride on any mecha weapons. When a master is only a few kilometers away from his opponent, he will definitely rush to the scene on foot, regardless of the environment and landforms. In this icy and snowy place, only three people could be seen walking on the snow without leaving a trace. Rapidly patting the horse to kill, this second-rate behavior mainly conveys three messages: First. Our Qinggong is pretty good, second. We are not afraid of the cold either. Thirdly, it is not easy for you to pose alone in the snow. Our appearance is worthy of you.
"Very good, it came quickly." A hoarse voice with a mirrored face sounded from under the mask.
"Is it a person with abilities wearing a mirror mask... I seem to have seen it in HL's files." Marcus said: "But according to that record, you should not have mental abilities."
Domino continued: "But you can actually use your ability to transmit sounds directly into our minds at such a long distance... That must be a spiritual ability user, so you are not the one in the HL record 'Mirror Face', but some imposter."
"It doesn't matter who it is, I don't know why you want to challenge us in this way, and I don't know the meaning of this suicidal behavior." Tianjian said: "If you think you can lure the three of us away, You can conduct a sneak attack on the headquarters. I'm afraid you are underestimating the combat power of our emperor." He looked directly at the mirror mask and said solemnly: "And it is also overestimating my own strength. How many seconds do you think it will take for the three of us to decide the winner against you?"
Domino sneered and said: "No, Tianjian, you should ask him how many seconds he can hold out against any of us alone."
On the surface, these three people were either relaxed or calm, and their words also showed full confidence. But they all knew in their hearts that if the voice could be implanted into the Tianwei's brain from several kilometers away, then the opponent must be at least a ferocious master. The three of them were not careless at all and were always on guard. Even if they moved their fingers, they would not be able to escape. their eyes.
Moreover, they have already made arrangements. In about ten minutes, an imperial company will follow. If this guy has any accomplices or squads setting up an ambush around them, they will be killed in one fell swoop.
"A group of losers who narrowly escaped death in Tianyi's hands dare to talk shamelessly in front of me." Jing Mian opened his mouth and replied with a taunt that touched the opponent's reverse scale: "By the way... there should be a Tianwei named Solo. , it seems that he is not nearby, has he gone to hell?"
Solo didn't return to Tiandu, he just continued to stay with the army in the middle of Double Eagle County and did not come to participate in this report. In fact, the three Heavenly Guards gathered in Barnaul today to conduct confidential communications with the top management of Heavenly Capital from the headquarters here. At present, the situation in Double Eagle County has stabilized, and the killings of Adolf and Dzhugashvili in the past few days can be said to have caused thousands of waves. The imperial court was preparing to recall these heavenly guards to Tiandu, leaving only Solo alone in Shuangying County, so Solo did not come here today.
"A person whose life is at risk still wants to inquire about information?" Domino is the youngest among the Heavenly Guards. He is also the talkative among the three. As he spoke, he walked forward and approached the mirror: " What obligation or reason do we have to answer your question?”
Marcus and Tianjian did not move for the time being, keeping their distance. They are both men who have experienced hundreds of battles. Based on experience, deal with people with mental abilities. Testing is necessary. Now that Domino wants to take action first, let's wait and see if the opponent is just an ordinary vicious-level ability user. Definitely no match for Domino. And if the opponent has any troublesome abilities, it's not too late to take action after understanding the extent of the energy usage.
"Don't get me wrong, I was just asking if there would be any dessert today before eating." As soon as Jing Mian finished speaking, Domino stopped.
Marcus and Tianjian tensed up. Neither of them saw any change in energy, but Domino's posture was strange, leaning forward slightly. It was like he was about to take a step but was forced to freeze. It was obviously not his intention to stop.
"You used some roundabout ways to hide the changes in energy, right?" Domino said: "That's it..." His expression became uglier as he spoke. While he was increasing his energy and trying to forcefully break away from this control, he gradually found that his actions were ineffective.
"Meeting around the bush is a trick only weaklings like you can play." Mirror Face said: "I don't need to play any tricks, haha..." He smiled and raised his hand, and the palm of his hand penetrated into his mask. The moment it penetrated the mirror, it seemed as if it had reached into the water.
At the same second, a huge black hand appeared behind Domino, like an illusion. But it is as oppressive as the substance.
Marcus flashed forward and stepped forward to lend a helping hand. He grabbed Domino's arm and quickly pulled him away from where he was standing. The black hand moves very quickly. But it was empty. Domino also regained his mobility after moving his position.
"It seems I underestimated you..." Tian Jian flashed to the side of the mirror, put his five fingers together and raised his arm, and a straight invisible slash rushed forward.
"That's right." Mirror Face was slowly pulling out his left hand that had been inserted into the mask. Voices came from under the mask. He raised his right hand with his palm facing outward to receive the slashing blow unhurriedly.
With a bang, a neat crack was cut on the ground, one hand wide and one arm deep, as if it were made by swinging a giant sword. But this force was effortlessly blocked by Jing Mian with one hand and turned into nothing.
"And you still underestimate me now, that's why you use this level of attack?" Mirror Face smiled: "Or, are you just doing it to be funny?"
Today's mirrored face is completely different from the man who appeared on the Vulture a few months ago. At that time, he seemed to have suffered internal injuries and kept coughing up unknown black fluid. His words and deeds were still as cold and stubborn as ever. But at this moment, the mirror face that appeared in front of the heavenly guards not only did not show any pathology, but even his personality had changed. The cunning and joking that he showed from time to time could not be found in the mirror face of the past.
When Tian Jian saw this, his expression changed suddenly. He was not angered by Jing Mian's words, but he was extremely shocked that Jing Mian could resolve his attack so casually.
The abilities of Tianjian are very similar to those of Zuodao's gods, but the forms of expression are slightly different. Tianjian's "condensing sword" is more inclined to fight with swords, while Zuodao's gods pursue the unity of human and base, oh …It is the combination of man and sword.
But no matter what the fighting method is, the power of these two abilities is almost the same. The power of the blow from the Sky Sword just now is no different from the destructive power that a peak-level god can cut. Logically speaking, that slap is as wide as a palm. On a straight line, not to mention people, even invisible water and fire can be divided into two, splitting the pure alloy is like playing. Mirror Face was able to take this move, and he actually thought the power of this slash was average
Marcus became more and more frightened as he watched, and muttered in a low voice: "Something is not right..."
Domino's character is still impulsive. He was tricked just now and asked someone to save him. He felt a little embarrassed about his face. He said: "There is nothing to be afraid of. He is alone. We have three heavenly guards here. I was careless just now. this time… "
"Wait a minute." Marcus waved his hand to signal him not to be impulsive, and he asked Jing Mianyan loudly: "Your Excellency, is this Tianyi?"
"What?" Jing Mian heard this, paused for a moment, and then laughed: "Ha! What a joke! Do you think that Tian Yi is the only one who can defeat you guys?"
"As far as I know, there is only one person who can take the blow from the Sky Sword so easily." Marcus said.
"Then you are lucky enough to see another one today." The mirrored face sneered, reaching out to take off the mask. When he spoke the next sentence, his voice also changed, and a soft male voice said with a strange sound in his throat. : "Do you think I look like Tianyi?"
"A mutant..." Tianjian looked at the other party's strange face and asked, "Who are you? What is your purpose?"
"Oh? Are you going to ask me questions now?" Mirror Face put on the mask again. He regained his hoarse voice: "Wasn't the message I sent to your heads clear enough? I said, I am here to receive your abilities. If you don't come, I will go to your location and kill you. Just everyone I see. And then I'll 'swallow' you. And if you come, like this moment, it will be good for everyone. You don't have to worry about accidentally injuring friendly forces around you, and I can avoid being attacked by those troop flies. Such harassment." He smiled and said: "Haha... After all, I have to worry about my image in the minds of humans. It will be good for the future."
"Crazy talk..." Domino's anger was gradually aroused by the other party's inexplicable words and arrogant attitude: "It's all bullshit!"
"What you think will not happen, will it really not happen?" Jing Mian said: "I will do what I say, and I will do what I say. And what is the basis for you not believing that I can do this? ?It's just your arrogance and shallowness." When he spoke. Floating out of thin air, even so, the three heavenly guards still could not find any signs of energy changes: "It is very sad to regard ignorance as confidence, because in that case... the truth will scare you sooner or later. Shatter your dignity, Let your lives be taken away in unnecessary fear and struggle."
"There's something wrong with this guy... He seems to have more than one ability..." Marcus said.
Tianjian's face was as dark as water, but he had regained his composure, and then continued what Marcus said: "And he doesn't seem to need to use energy at all to activate his abilities."
"Impossible, this is only a characteristic of mutants below the same level who activate their abilities." Domino said. "He just took over your..."
The energy of the Heavenly Sword was constantly pouring out of his body at this moment. He interrupted Domino and said: "So... he is an enemy who has a variety of pure abilities below the parallel level, and can use them to a ferocious level of power without any energy." He said coldly: "So what? It may not be invincible."
The mirrored face smiled and said; "Very good... I can reasonably quantify the enemy's strength shown so far based on the actual situation. This can help my companions build a psychological defense line." He has reached a height of more than ten meters: " Hmph... I will continue to destroy this line of defense and leave you speechless."
While talking. The mirror-faced man raised his two fingers slightly, and the ground beneath him rolled up like a blanket. Like a huge wave, it rushed towards the Heavenly Sword that was doing something.
Tianjian doesn't know how many other abilities the opponent can use, but he knows that he only has one, and he can only cope with all changes by remaining unchanged.
In just a moment, the rolled up ground was cut into many pieces by neat slashes. It was obvious that the Heavenly Sword of the Heavenly Guard was much faster and stronger than Zuodao.
"So what if you have more abilities?" Tian Jian stood still, his killer move ready to go out: "No matter what happens, there will be no push to advance."
The phantoms of fourteen giant swords appeared around the mirror face, surrounding it from up, down, left, right, front and back, and from angles in all directions. The swords pointed at the target and pierced straight at the same time.
After Jing Mian saw this, a perfect circular wall of air appeared all over his body. This defensive ability did not gather around him, but spread and released. The wall of air crushed all the giant swords transformed by the energy.
The Heavenly Sword's moves were majestic and overbearing, with astonishing power. It was supposed to be a sure-kill move, but it was completely broken by the mirror without causing any trouble.
"I have found a guy before who has the same ability as your Highness the Seventh Prince. He really has a good ability." Jing Mian said: "If you come in without stopping, this Qi wall will be able to break through." He said again. With a slight wave, the violent wind pressure rolled towards the Heavenly Sword from all directions like a knife.
There is still a gap in Tianjian's move just now. If he is fast enough, he may not be unable to escape, but Mirror Face's move is absolutely watertight and there is nowhere to escape. The Heavenly Sword could only use all the energy in its body to resist it. It was suppressed by the strong wind and kept cutting. It struggled to hold on and could barely withstand the attack.
Domino saw that Tianjian's killing move was broken, and he knew in his heart that with the ferocious-level attack ability, not many people could hurt this masked guy.
So he gave up the idea of using physical skills to win and decided to use his special abilities. I saw him leaping up in front of the mirror, deliberately making a gesture to blast through the wall of energy. With a swing of his arm, Domino's fist and half of his arm were filled with flesh and blood as if they had been inserted into a meat grinder.
"If you haven't reached the madness level, don't use your energy to act recklessly. You can be ranked as a heavenly guard. You must be outstanding. Let me see your ability." Mirror Face said confidently. With his current strength, if he takes action with all his strength . Among the three, only Marcus could resist for a while. The reason why he induced the other party to attack him with all his strength was that Jing Lian planned to understand what abilities he had acquired before devouring others.
"It's exactly what I want. You don't need to tell me, I'm already doing it." Domino smiled sinisterly. In fact, his punch had no ability to cover his arm at all, and he was deliberately hurting it.
this moment. The mirrored face seemed to realize something. He looked down at his left arm, pulled off his glove, and found that his hand seemed to be dissolved by corrosive drugs. The skin and flesh gradually broke and peeled off.
As for Domino, who fell back to the ground, his arm began to heal at almost the same speed.
"Oh... transfer the injuries." Mirror Face said: "I really want to know... what would happen if this process was reversed." As he said that, his left arm suddenly turned into a gun, which was obtained from the leech ghost. the power of.
Although Domino has an ominous premonition, once his ability is activated. He himself is connected to the target, and he himself cannot stop it until the transfer of harm is completed.
In just a few seconds, the mirror-faced left arm returned to its original shape from the waist. The impact of this move was. Domino, whose arm was healing, in the same amount of time. The effect of its ability was reversed, and one arm was completely destroyed.
"You..." Domino covered his shoulders. When the contact was interrupted, the pain came as expected. He undoubtedly suffered a big loss, but he was still secretly glad that he didn't do anything more cruel. If he had just been impulsive and cut off three of his limbs, that would be Committed suicide.
"Fortunately, I tried it first... There is no value in acquiring this ability of yours." Jing Mian said; "It seems to be a fairly invincible method, but as long as it is faced with an enemy with strong self-healing ability, it becomes useless." He said disdainfully: "Besides, as long as you directly attack the head and kill you instantly, this ability will not be able to be used." He said it easily, but there are only people in the world who can kill the Heavenly Guard instantly. So few.
Among the three, Marcus, the only one who had reached the mad level, was observing everything from the side, silently calculating the abilities of the mirrored face. Assuming that this monster has no accomplices to help him secretly, then he has at least five possible abilities so far: mental interference, flying, controlling earth, controlling wind, and turning limbs into flesh to heal themselves. There is another one recorded in the empire's database, the ability to use the mirror mask to block the opponent's movements.
And judging from the situation just now, he can not only block the movement of others, but also put his hand into the mask to create illusions to attack. Looking at this guy's comfortable attitude, it is estimated that he has more than ten abilities. The sentence "I am here to receive your abilities" is probably true.
Marcus couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this. Among the Tianwei, he was the oldest, calm and calm, and he had not fought with all his strength for many years. I originally thought that after a few more years of work, I would be able to retreat to the second line. However, I encountered Tianyi during the Hell Island incident and was defeated along with the others before I even had a chance to take action. Fortunately, I didn't die. But today I encountered such a demon again. The guy in front of me looked like he would never survive.
"Monsters like you appear one after another, which makes me feel more and more that in this world, maybe it is safer to be a little person." Marcus said with emotion: "But people in my position, I'm afraid there are some Things are inevitable after all." He walked through the air and came to the same height as the mirror face, several meters away, looking at it from a distance.
"If you don't take action, I'm going to be impatient. I'm just thinking about whether to kill that guy named Domino to hurry you up..." The face under the mirror mask is smiling: "Haha... I hope your ability won't I'm disappointed." When he said this, the wind pressure that the Heavenly Sword on the other side continued to suffer did not weaken, and the ground around it had been cut into small holes by the wind blades.
"Stop it!" Marcus suddenly shouted violently. This man's anger was restrained and he usually didn't explode. When he did, it would be earth-shattering. Suddenly he punched the mirror-faced chest with a punch.
This was not an ability, but the most intuitive blow from a mad-level ability user. The air wall on the mirror face was penetrated by this punch. He received this blow firmly, and the attack on the Heavenly Sword was also interrupted at this moment. Because he was not expecting this situation, Mirror Face's body did not have time to liquefy, and his chest was dented, and his whole body fell to the ground sideways like a black cannonball.
