As if in response to Jiang Cheng's gaze, the surrounding scene changed as expected. Some of the shadows shrank quickly and became clear, and finally reduced to two figures.
It's Liu Jingzhe and Heike, they broke into the process of "shrinking the ground into an inch"! The two of them just stood in front of Jiang Cheng, preventing him from taking this step.
Seeing the two men approaching, Jiang Cheng had no intention of stopping. He didn't even take any precautions. He continued to step forward firmly with his raised steps.
The surrounding scene changed rapidly. Liu Jingzhe and Heike didn't move their feet, but their bodies quickly approached Jiangcheng in the "shrinking to an inch" space fluctuation. As if they heard some kind of instruction, they raised their fists in unison and slowly punched forward. There are no tricks in these two punches, nor do they contain any special power. They are just simple and ordinary punches. But in such a world where time almost stands still and space is distorted, any small injury is enough to shatter Jiang Cheng into pieces.
Jiangcheng is now like a flying airplane. Even if it collides with a weak sparrow, it will be enough to cause an irreversible crash.
And those two fists were the sparrows that were going to knock Jiangcheng down.
Simple, weak, but deadly!
But Jiang Cheng still had no intention of stopping. As his footsteps fell, the scenery and enemies a hundred meters away quickly approached, and the pair of fists finally appeared in front of him. In such a process, Jiang Cheng could no longer evade, and he didn't even have time to react. As long as the current thought is extinguished and the next thought arises, Jiang Cheng will be beaten to pieces by the enemy, and even the immortal immortal body will no longer be able to protect him.
Between the birth and death of thoughts, it seems like the flow of life and death, but it is shorter than an instant and cannot be noticed by humans.
When new thoughts arose, Jiang Cheng did not feel panic or hesitation. He looked up and looked around. The distorted scene in the surrounding space had dissipated, and he was safely a hundred meters away. As for Liu Jingzhe and Heike, they had disappeared.
Knowing that he was not dead, Jiang Cheng slowly exhaled and looked around again to make sure that there was no trace of those two people. Then he broke into a cold sweat after realizing it.
Everything that just happened was part of Jiang Cheng's plan, but he was not sure whether it would succeed in the end. But the previous situation was already very critical, and he really had no better choice.
If he chooses to fight the clones of Liu Jingzhe and Heike, Jiang Cheng may have a chance to win, but during the battle, more nightmare fog will definitely penetrate into the deep consciousness, and ultimately achieve the purpose of the city's consciousness to control itself. If they choose to escape directly, with the strength of those two people, they will definitely be entangled all the way and directly bring down Jiangcheng. Therefore, Jiang Cheng's final plan was not to fight or escape, but to make a choice different from the two.
He wants to put himself into a fatal situation, and it is the kind of irreversible fatal situation.
Because Jiang Cheng knew that no matter what the reason was, he would only be valuable to the city's consciousness if he was alive. Therefore, if he is really in a dead situation, the two nightmare puppets will definitely stop.
But just stopping is not enough, he wants these two obstacles to disappear completely.
So Jiang Cheng came up with this plan.
Use "shrink the ground into an inch"!
Of course, the nightmare puppets can intervene in the process of "shrinking the ground into an inch". If they don't enter, it means that their strength is not enough, and Jiang Cheng can escape. But if they successfully intervene, Jiangcheng's next step will be simple. The nightmare puppet will definitely exert pressure on himself, threatening him to give up his escape and choose to continue fighting with them. They indeed exerted enough pressure to block Jiang Cheng's path and punched him.
But this punch was also a punch that could not be taken back.
Because once involved in the process of "shrinking the ground into an inch", there is no room for escape. Because it is a wormhole that travels through space. There is no space outside the wormhole, so there is no possibility of giving in. Therefore, even if they retract their fists, Jiang Cheng will still collide with them head-on, and the result will be no different from being hit by a fist. This is from the spatial level, blocking the room for the nightmare puppet to evacuate.
On the other hand, Jiang Cheng activated "Time Standstill" early, which caused everyone's actions to reach the limit speed, so the nightmare puppet at that time did not even have time to hesitate.
Unable to stop or hesitate, Jiang Cheng put himself in a desperate situation of certain death, but it also forced the city's consciousness to the point where it had no choice.
In this case, only one decision is possible for the urban consciousness.
That is to destroy these two nightmare puppets on their own to save Jiang Cheng's life.
Of course, Jiang Cheng itself does not have full confidence in this plan.
If the city's consciousness is angered by its own forcing actions, then the other party's choice is not to give in, but to suffer together.
Therefore, Jiang Cheng's behavior was a forced gamble.
Although the result was a win, if given the choice, Jiang Cheng would never make such a gamble again.
Because this feeling of not being in control of one's own destiny is something no one wants to experience a second time.
Having said that, if we evaluate it from the perspective of a bystander, the reason why Jiang Cheng has such a mentality is actually because he still doesn't know his importance to the city's consciousness.
Of course, it's actually impossible for him to know now.
By the time all the truth was revealed, he was no longer in Anxiang District.
All in all, Jiang Cheng finally managed to survive this crisis.
After that, Jiang Cheng felt much calmer all the way. He knew that the city's consciousness had given up its intention to control itself, so there was no point in further interception.
Thinking like this, Jiang Cheng suddenly noticed that the chaotic mist in front seemed to be lighter.
This journey is coming to an end.
Jiang Cheng clearly had such a premonition.
The perception of real people is unmistakable. In a daze, Jiang Cheng's vision suddenly went blank, and then he appeared in the world outside the nightmare wall.
Jiang Cheng looked up and saw a square, in which many people wearing black leather clothes and holding weapons were patrolling. Everything around him exuded an evil aura. Jiang Cheng was very sure that this was the headquarters of the Wusheng Sect, Xuanwu Square.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng appeared in a relatively hidden location, and when he turned around, he found that there was a hole behind him.
After a little speculation, Jiang Cheng understood the intention of City Consciousness. The other party placed him at the exit of the secret passage. In this way, when he finds those strangers, he can bring them here and evacuate them.
"Sure enough, even if it can't control me, the city's consciousness still hopes that I can complete what I am doing."
After this was confirmed, Jiang Cheng finally felt at ease and started the plan he had discussed with Cui Benshan before.
Fumbling around in his pocket, Jiang Cheng took out the Heart Seal and poured his spiritual power into it. Then, he continued to hide here, waiting for the coming changes.
