Section 28 Pre-war analysis
Hey, flood control......
When Lu Wu returned to his residence, it was already past dusk.
Amber has been a bit of a dragon in sight these days - since she learned that the evil spirit had come to Earth, she had given up her daily hobbies, namely reading, surfing the Internet, and listening to music, and had become mysterious. She now appears less physically and imaginarily, instead hiding in Holoera most of the time.
She's supposed to be using some kind of magic...... Or something else, Lu Wu wasn't sure, but he was sure that Amber was preparing for future battles.
"Lu Wu, are you back?" A halo suddenly appeared in the room that was empty just now, and then Amber's body quickly formed in this halo. If you change someone, you will probably be stunned by this drama of "changing people", but Lu Wu is no longer surprised.
"Lu Wu, has your plan succeeded?"
"It can be said that it was successful......" Lu Wu felt scared for a while. It's actually hard to convince a person, and it's even harder to convince a police officer. Fortunately, the policeman's attitude towards evil spirits is not just a business-like attitude (that is, the hatred of ordinary people for a serial killer), there are more things. "The police are really hard to deal with. ”
Although he was very calm in front of Li Ze, Lu Wu knew that this time he had indeed miscalculated. At least he didn't expect the other party to come to the door so quickly - to admit that when the phone couldn't get through and he saw Li Ze when he turned around, he was really taken aback.
It should be said that he has been lucky. Li Ze's desire to destroy the evil spirit is very strong. It is precisely because of this that the two sides can sit down and negotiate calmly and reach that kind of agreement.
"I got the latest news from the police. Lu Wu said. "The police have gone to round up the demons. Just the night before yesterday. ”
This is much longer than Lu Wu and Amber expected, after all, according to common sense, after seeing so many corpses of cats and dogs, the police are at most a little suspicious, and then arrange for people to keep an eye on them, and then discover the evil spirits, and finally round them up. The whole process will take at least three to five days - because the police will never be able to make a big deal out of a few dead kittens and dogs. But who would have guessed that the evil spirit would kill someone here for some reason?
"How many people have been killed?" Amber asked immediately.
"There seems to be none. Lu Wu said. "A lot of people would have died, but the police used bulletproof equipment. ”
"Bulletproof equipment?"
"Body armor and bulletproof steel helmets. Lu Wu carefully told Amber the news he got from Li Ze. In fact, the evil spirit only knows how to aim at the head, which is completely in line with Amber's view that "evil spirits have no intelligence", but unexpectedly, Amber's expression is more and more surprised.
"It's impossible...... Amber whispered. Although she didn't say this to Lu Wu, Lu Wu heard it clearly.
"How could it be?"
"The demon will kill them...... It's going to kill them! It's only ...... The extent of the beast. It acts on instinct, and one of its instincts is to destroy all enemies that attack it...... What else are you inquiring about?"
Lu Wu didn't hide it, and told everything he had heard from Li Ze in detail. Mainly the details of that roundup, including the evil spirit walked to the center of the trap without suspicion, and then broke through and escaped. Of course, there are also many Li Ze's personal experiences, such as seeing evil eyes glowing red and being able to dodge bullets. Of course, Li Ze would not say that he was stunned or other personal reactions.
"Well, that's about it. In order to describe the situation in detail, Lu Wu took out a pen and paper and drew a figure. It's not that he is troublesome, but Li Ze also told the battle situation at that time.
Amber's expression made it clear that the more she listened, the more confused she became.
"How is this possible......" she repeated again
"Why is it impossible?" Lu Wu still didn't understand. Regarding the demonic fighting power, Amber has repeatedly emphasized it. To tell the truth, the battle process described by Li Ze is not contradictory to what Amber said at all, and it can even be said to be very consistent. "It's the same as you said. It has the ability to predict a short future, so it's normal to avoid bullets. ”
"It's not...... Even if you predict the future, there is a limit. This is like boxing on Earth," Amber said. "A lot of times, even if you know that the other person will fight, but because the speed of your body can't keep up, you will still be beaten. Therefore, fighting is not just about 'knowing', it must also be able to match the speed of one's own thinking ability. Let's say dozens of bullets are coming over, and even if you know the future, it's useless," she gestured to indicate the situation. "Because no matter how you dodge, you will be hit, nothing more than being hit by this bullet or being hit by that bullet. ”
"The evil spirit has the ability to foresee the future, but to say that in that case it escaped unscathed...... Still impossible. ”
If it weren't for Amber to mention it, Lu Wu really wouldn't have known that Amber was interested in fighting skills on Earth. But it was only a small detail, and he immediately threw the thought away.
"You've said that the physical qualities of evil spirits are far beyond the scope of human beings. ”
"Yes, it does. If the demon uses its true power, combined with the ability to foresee the short-term future, it will be easy to break out of this encirclement, but the problem is ...... It didn't use that level of power!" Amber asked. If it weren't for the red light in her eyes up close, the policeman named Li Ze would ...... Don't you think she's a human being?"
Yes...... It seems like...... It seems that this is really the case.
"The only answer is that it's deliberately hiding itself. Amber finally asserted. "I see...... I understand. ”
"Got what?"
"The last power of the Evil Spirit...... It should be the sixth law of magic, which is illusion. ”
"Can illusions be used to fend off bullets?" Lu Wu was skeptical.
"Attacked by such a dense concentration of firepower, there is no reason why the evil spirit can avoid it without harming unless he uses his superhuman strength. But if you think about it another way, it's simple...... That is, it is not it that others are targeting. ”
"But it was night...... "Lu Wu still didn't understand.
"Lu Wu, look at me!" Amber said suddenly. Lu Wu looked intently and found that Amber didn't know when he came to his right.
"What's wrong?" Lu Wuyi couldn't figure out what Amber was trying to do.
"Touch me. Amber said.
Miscellaneous...... What the...... What is this? Legendary reversal? Lu Wuyi had countless thoughts flashing through his mind for a while, half of which were eager to try, and half of which were cautious.
"Try to see if you can touch me. Amber looked at Lu Wu for a long time and stretched out a hand. "Shake my hand. ”
The countless thoughts in his mind were extinguished in an instant like fireworks, and Lu Wu stretched out his hand and carefully touched Amber's hand. Although his eyes told Lu Wu that he had touched the materialized amber, there was no touch on his hands.
"This is ......"
"A common use of the magic of the Sixth Law. Amber said. "It is not necessary to create a complete illusion, but to confuse the unreal with the real. Look at this. ”
Amber makes a slapping motion, but at this moment she is facing the void on the side of the landing five, so the slap hits the air. But Lu Wu's body clearly felt that something was patted lightly.
"Got it?" Amber asked, smiling at the air in front of her.
"This is...... Hallucination?" Lu Wu finally understood. Amber was indeed on his side at the moment, but it was fake. Or similar to the refraction of light, the spot that the eye sees is not where the amber really is.
"That's right. Lu Wu's eyes flickered, and then he found that Amber's figure had disappeared, moving to the other side of him as if he was teleporting. However, he knew that this time it wasn't actually teleportation, but the result of Amber's previous illusion. From the beginning, Amber stood here and didn't move.
"It's simple magic, but it's hard for ordinary people to discern. Especially since there are a lot of stray bullets, it itself must also perform the necessary dodging maneuvers. Amber said. "It's normal for the police to not be able to notice. But," she said, with a thoughtful look on her face. "One problem is solved, but another problem is raised...... Why is that evil spirit acting so strange......ly?
"Unless what?"
"Unless that demon has intelligence for some reason. She was able to understand that showing superhuman strength and killing a police officer would lead to more serious consequences......"
"Hah...... That, is that possible?"
"I don't know, but if I had to say the possibility...... That's certainly possible. But why would such an evil spirit chase after the earth? If it had intelligence, it would understand that the advantage in fighting me on earth was on my side. Even if it is uncertain at first, it will quickly understand this when it comes to Earth and choose to leave. ”
"Amber, you say advantage?"
"Yes, I have a natural advantage to fight on Earth. Amber said. "I can use magic to find out its existence, but it doesn't use such complex magic...... It can only track me by the remnants of magic...... But as long as I don't cast magic, it's hard to find me. This is a clear advantage. Amber looked at Lu Wu. "And the evil spirit needs the magic of the fourth law to restore its body, so I have an advantage over it by using the residue to find it. In other words, I can hide and sneak up on it, but it can't hide and sneak up on me. ”
She shook her head. "But I don't know why it did that...... But maybe it has some intelligence, but it's not very intelligent......"
