Prologue: Under the Streetlights

"Stop!" In the night, a dark shadow rushed in front of Yu Hao. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Yu Hao stopped in interest and quickly looked at the person in front of him, he was slightly taller than himself, wearing a pair of white knitted masks, but he was wearing a black dress that was extremely incompatible with the white mask.

The masked man, who looked like he was either a thief or a robber, stared at Yu Hao, and there seemed to be a hint of hesitation in his only uncovered eyes.

"Let me win!" The masked man shouted suddenly, and the hesitation in his eyes had disappeared.

"Attention, the duel begins."

A mechanical female voice sounded directly in Yu Hao's mind through a brain implant chip.

"Oh." Yu Hao's face did not change, as if he expected the intention of the person in front of him, and he did not hesitate to click on the surrender option in the virtual operation interface in front of him.

With a system prompt of "Ding...", the voice in my head sounded again:

"You have been defeated, you have been deducted one point, there are sixty-three points left, and the remaining number of battles for today is one."

"Give me one more point." The masked man still seemed dissatisfied, but his tone was less of a force than a plea.

"You're in the showdown."

Yu Hao pressed surrender again. The mechanical female voice also sounded again: "You have been defeated, you have been deducted one point, there are sixty-two points left, the number of battles today has reached the limit, you will not lose points in the battle." ”

(It's only been half a month, and there are only so many points left) Yu Hao sighed lightly.

"Thank you." The man breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw Yu Hao press to surrender, and then ran away without looking back, and those who didn't know would probably think that Yu Hao was a robber.

Seeing the man gradually disappear into the night, Yu Hao lowered his head and said to himself, "Forget it, don't think about it." Then he lowered the feeling of loss in his heart, and the next moment the whole person became as if nothing had happened. As he hung up his headphones, he hummed a little song and walked towards his apartment, not noticing the girl who passed him by the street lamp.

"Just two points?" Although he was wearing headphones, the voice behind him was accurately delivered to Yu Hao's ears. Yu Hao stopped and took off the earphones on one side.

"I heard that there is a four-digit number in the second school district that will only surrender, 4180, and that's you."

Yu Hao turned around and looked at the girl in front of him, her long black hair hung down like a waterfall, her dark eyes made people feel a little girl's weakness, although she was wearing a school uniform in a certain school district, she had a beautiful figure that was not quite suitable for this age, if it weren't for the near-perfect face that still retained the innocence that a middle school girl should have, I'm afraid no one would be able to guess her real age.

Yu Hao knew this girl, or more precisely, he had heard of a beautiful black-haired girl who was unspeakable and so strong that he was against the sky. Among the nearly two million people in the experimental area, there are only two hundred people like her with four-digit ability values, the proportion is about 1 in 10,000, of course, Yu Hao himself is among the two hundred.

"Not many people know about me." Yu Hao looked at the girl and said in the most bland tone, he was a little surprised that the girl in front of him would actually talk to him, but after quickly lowering the emotion of surprise, he had completely calmed down.

"My ability isn't meant for combat." Yu Hao's voice was almost emotionless, he secretly expected the girl to let him go if she was bored, and he didn't want to get into trouble the last thing he wanted.

"You can win with superpowers alone." The girl looked at Yu Hao with interest, as if she was a little surprised by Yu Hao's expressionless stare at her.

The absolute group in the test area is selected from all over the country to possess supernatural abilities and abilities, and the vast majority of them are school students. Supernatural abilities are simply superpowers, and their owners can wield powers far beyond the limits of human beings, and a powerful person can bounce heavyweight sumo wrestlers away with just the snap of his fingers. And the other ability, the ability, which means "strange ability", has a wide variety of abilities, and the effect of the form can vary greatly, from perspective to spatial transfer, from elemental stripping to energy rebound, any ability that can make you feel "this TM is okay" is basically an ability.

Yu Hao's ability is emotional control, every emotion or emotion in Yu Hao's eyes is like a valve that can be adjusted at will, he can easily laugh out loud in the funeral home, and he can also slap the award presenter at the awards ceremony, this kind of adjustment is all up to Yu Hao's own will, completely unaffected by the surrounding environment. While this ability is useful in normal times, it can be a bit of a problem in combat.

"I don't want to win, and I can't." Yu Hao spit out a few words without any tone. He has raised his calmness to the level of indifference, he guesses that this girl is deliberately trying to ridicule himself, almost everyone who knows Yu Hao can't get used to his appearance of surrendering when he encounters a duel, but he doesn't care, and in the eyes of Yu Hao, who is indifferent at this time and is much higher than other emotions, even the beautiful girl in front of him who is reluctant to look away is just an eye-stopping roadblock.

Listening to Yu Hao's expressionless reply, the girl's face changed, and Yu Hao's words like a repeater seemed to her to express a kind of disdain: Lao Tzu loves to vote, can you control it.

"What are you like that? Why can a guy like you live so comfortably? The girl suddenly stood up and asked viciously and loudly, as if she wanted to vent all the inexplicable resentment to Yu Hao.

If this is the case, a girl you don't know suddenly stops her on the side of the road and asks, "Are you carrying me behind my back to find another one?" How can you do this to me? If something like that, Yu Hao would definitely be stupid on the spot. But now Yu Hao is blessed with an aura of indifference all over his body, he quietly listened to the girl's question, and then replied lightly:

"And what are you like that? Why don't you let me go back to sleep? With that, he turned and left. The girl was left standing there dumbfounded.

The black-haired girl was really stunned, she probably didn't expect Yu Hao to dare to talk to herself like this.

(Broken!) )

Yu Hao, who had already adjusted his emotions to normal, immediately realized that the situation was wrong, he remembered that the girl's ability value was 8796, according to the statement that the value corresponds to the strength of the ability, then today is a big trouble, but I will talk about it later, anyway, there are only two passive points a day to lose, who is not losing, and it is still important to run away at the moment, and she has to use coercion.

In addition to the ability value, another important data for students in the experimental area is the number of points, the points equal to the first two digits of the ability value distributed on the first day of each month are equivalent to the fixed income of the students, for example, if your ability value is 435, then you can get 43 points on the first day of each month, and students with an ability value of more than 1000 are all 100 points. Each point can be directly exchanged for a lot of cash directly into the account, and this kind of scholarship-like setting is also the main source of income for most students in the pilot area (the score can be accumulated for one year, and the remaining points will be converted into cash on the last day of each year). The main way to get extra points is to win the duel, the two people each consume one point for the normal duel, the winner gets two points, the normal duel is divided into the challenger and the challenger, and the maximum number of challenges and the number of battles per person per day is 2. If the opponent you want to challenge has been challenged twice today, you can force a duel by consuming two points, and the result of this duel by giving the opponent points is that even if you win, you will lose two points, and if you lose, you will lose two points, and the forced duel can only be used once a day, so unless there is a special reason, almost no one will have this duel.

Just as Yu Hao was "escaping" with all his might, the voice he didn't want to hear still appeared:

"You've entered a forced showdown." As the voice in his head sounded, the worry in his heart finally became a reality.

(Forced duel, I'm really angry, but what if I don't fight with you) Yu Hao sighed softly, but he was not idle, and quickly pulled out the virtual operation interface through eye control, and his right hand had already touched the surrender button like a familiar car.

Surrender Dafa is good, although Yu Hao can't fight, but when it comes to the speed of surrender, no one in the test area may be able to do it faster than him, Yu Hao's idea is very realistic, the rules of the test area are that once the score is zero, he will be repatriated, and with a score of 100 points, even if he loses two games a day for 31 days, he still has 38 points left, which is already higher than all the scores that more than sixty percent of students can get every month, after all, about seventy percent of the students in the test area have a first ability value of three or below, and the savings exchanged for these scores are enough for Yu Hao to live. Therefore, no matter how much he loses, Yu Hao doesn't care about any kind of duel.

But the situation has changed at this moment.

(Point surrender doesn't work?!) Yu Hao was a little surprised, and subconsciously turned up his calm again.

It's not a spatial transfer, Yu Hao analyzed. Spatial transfer can only act on the entity, the virtual interface formed by the implanted chip and the brain cannot be affected by the spatial transfer, nor is it light refraction, the principle of light refraction is to let the human eye see an image of the wrong position by changing the propagation path of light, Yu Hao doesn't know the girl's ability, but he is very sure that his series of inertial movements of clicking and surrendering no longer need his eyes to judge the position, so no matter where the so-called wrong imaging is, Yu Hao's fingers must be going to the correct position, And the surrender button in front of you is in the right place.

Then it could only be blocked by some transparent entity, since it can't be clicked here, then change sides and click again, no, since her ability is not light refraction, then directly close the virtual interface, let the surrender button "hit" his finger, the only help that Yu Hao's ability can bring him in battle is to allow himself to think without outside interference.

"Click."

At the moment when Yu Hao controlled the interface and was about to touch the index finger of his right hand, with a sound similar to pinching the bones of his fingers, his entire head twisted nearly ninety degrees to the left.

Of course, this is not Yu Hao's own action, but he himself doesn't know what the girl's ability is, but he feels that the right side of his face seems to be held down by something, and a sense of pain swept through his brain, Yu Hao's ability can't turn off his senses, but he can still keep himself calm by regulating his emotions.

The virtual interface is already very close to you, and you can touch it with just a slight extension of the fingers of your left hand. Yu Hao had the impression that he had never won a duel, but at this time he felt that as long as he ordered surrender, it would be his victory, and it was clearly stipulated that he could not use his ability to cause personal damage without permission in non-combat, and for now, he just had to put himself into a non-combat state.

"Move a little more, and I'll make your head spin." The girl's cold voice actually made Yu Hao, who had raised his calm to eighty percent, feel stiff, and he felt that the left side of his face was also pasted with a layer of glass or something, this kind of head was really bad to be controlled by someone.

The experimental area stipulates that once anyone causes irreparable injury or death in the duel, they will be imprisoned in a special prison in the experimental area and bear the corresponding punishment, this is not a place where you can do whatever you want, Yu Hao didn't believe that the girl in front of him would not know.

(She won't kill me), Yu Hao, whose calm emotions are still dominant, immediately made a judgment, but his body still did not move, and slowly Yu Hao was caught like a marionette by something similar to transparent glass on both sides of his head, and only his toes could barely touch the ground.

It's strange that Yu Hao may think so in his heart, it is the calm and dominant self who makes the judgment that the other party will not kill him, and the calm dominant self who makes the judgment that cannot move. Yu Hao has never experienced real danger since he was discovered to have entered the experimental area with his superpowers and abilities, and a cheerful person like him who is in dire need of points seems to be a gift from God, and even the guy who robbed Yu Hao of two points just now did not forget to say thank you before leaving. But at this time, Yu Hao seems to have encountered danger for the first time, and calmness can help people think, but it does not bring experience. With no countermeasures, Yu Hao decided to turn his emotions back to normal, trying to find a way out according to the thoughts of a normal person.

As the calm fell, a strong sense of fear instantly flooded my mind. This kind of life and death of oneself seems to be in the thought of others as if there is no fear of the next second, Yu Hao doesn't remember if he felt it before, but he remembers that this is the first time since he had the ability to give up such an emotion.

Yu Hao was completely stunned, fear made him forget how to think, and his body was completely out of control, at this moment he was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered looking at the girl blankly, maybe the only thing to be thankful about now is that the reserves of the bladder are not very sufficient.

The girl walked in front of Yu Hao, she looked up at Yu Hao, stared at his eyes that he didn't dare to blink, and after a while, she withdrew her gaze as if she had achieved her goal, and whispered to herself: "You are such a zero, don't do it." ”

At the same time as the girl said the last word, Yu Hao felt that the transparent glass on both sides of his face disappeared, and his feet fell to the ground, but his legs failed to provide any strength to support his body, so his legs bent, and the whole person sat directly on the ground.

Yu Hao immediately overshadowed his calmness over fear, and finally controlled his body back, and then pressed the surrender button without hesitation.

"You've been defeated." The voice rang out.

To this point, the result is no longer important, Yu Hao is worried that this girl who is not on the same level as himself will come to find trouble for himself again, he looked at the girl's back gradually moving away, took a breath, and asked loudly: "Does it mean anything to you if you win me?" ”

The girl stopped when she heard this, but she stopped talking, and continued on until her back disappeared under the last dim street lamp in her sight.
