Chapter 14 Moving Like a Rabbit
"How's the preparation?" Liang Ce asked on the other side of the communicator. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
“…… I feel like I'm used to it. Mike was lying on the bed in his room, smiling at the camera.
"Have you read all the materials I sent you last night? Gloria dug up something again in the morning and sent it to you, you take it. ”
"Okay."
Diana, the current champion of the Underwater Palace Arena, is known for her quick reflexes and magical speed. According to the results of the party's research, Diana's various speed statistics almost reached the limit of her size. Diana's weapon is a pair of silver moon daggers in the back, and with its incredible speed, the opponent will be out of the game in the next second as long as he shows the slightest flaw. Diana's one-hit kill footage was widely disseminated on Aiden and nearby Proxims, editing her kills from different angles of the same target. This is the kind of video that Mike watched last night, and if he wants to describe it, this video is more like an art film, if it weren't for the opponent who was about to become the wind girl, he would start licking the screen and sing loudly to conquer! Diana's grasp of the timing of kills, her sharp and focused vision, coupled with her beautiful appearance and extremely seductive body shape, have long become a goddess-level player for many men.
Challenging a beautiful opponent, Mike can barely sleep with the excitement of imagining the alternative conquest and sense of accomplishment that victory may bring. But this thorny rose is not easy to deal with...... While recalling the ideas and details of the battle he had envisioned last night, Mike opened up new material for Gloria.
This time it's also a video clip that seems to have been filmed secretly in some nightclub or something like that in the middle of the night. The scene was noisy and chaotic, greeting each other's relatives, and just when the two groups of people began to cut each other, there were screams one after another, and all kinds of weapons that were taken out fell to the ground.
"His grandmother's, who is putting the black gun? Stand up for labor? Someone yelled, and the man's head began to fall from his temples. With a bang, the victim was reunited with the first half of his head on the floor.
"I did it, how? Who still has an opinion? Say it all at once. There was a sound at the bar, and the candid photographer immediately pulled the camera to the bar, which was slightly blurred, and it was a red-haired woman. Focusing on it, the woman held the red wine glass in one hand and her cheeks in the other, and her leisurely gaze dangled on everyone's faces, it was Diana, the wind girl!
How did she do it? Mike was slightly confused.
The candid photographer is obviously curious too, and the second half of the video is a processed replay. First, the moment the weapon was dropped, the injured person's hand was magnified, and everyone's hands were cut by invisible sharp blades, and everyone's damage was different, but they all lost their mobility. Then, I magnified the person who was broken brain, and I saw that under the dim light, the white matter of the brain's exposed brain and the gray skull of the person were steaming, and the incision was very neat, and the person who took the candid photograph didn't even play mosaics, which made people feel disgusting.
Finally, there is the high-speed slowdown of the shot before the man was killed, and Mike watched the video frame by frame intently. The moment the victim said "come out", his head was slowly dissected from side to side. Mike paid special attention to the fact that the place where the dissection began was in the direction of Diana. It's a pity that Diana wasn't filmed in the first half of the video, so you can't see how she inspired this invisible blade.
It is almost certain that Diana was also a trait awakener, presumably using a physical element that closely resembles the nature of her own speed, the wind, or air current.
Mike frowned and flipped through the gory video over and over again.
――
On this day, the underwater palace ushered in a peak flow of people.
Spectators who came to the arena could see the current odds on the light screen at first glance, with Diana the Wind Girl at 1.33 and Bomb Boy McMiller at 3.91. On both sides of the huge blood-colored numbers, there are real-time images of the two players, and as soon as they enter the underwater palace, the camera will start working, exposing every move of the two in front of the audience, giving people the feeling that the distance between the players and the audience seems to be within reach. Over time, the backgrounds of the players' images became more and more similar.
Finally, the audience let out a huge cheer, wave after wave, and the atmosphere of the fighting arena instantly boiled!
The player walked out of the dressing area and appeared under the ring camera.
The odds on the light screen immediately shrank and retreated to the left and right corners, and the full-body images of the players on both sides were projected onto the light curtain, occupying 50% each. It can be seen that both sides are standing in the coaching area, looking at each other from a distance, and are doing final tactical analysis and warm-up exercises.
"How sure are you?" Liang Ce asked.
"Let's open five-five!" Mike replied.
"So confident?" Gloria interjected.
"She's just woken up, and she can't be at my level for a short time." Mike grinned, "And we goddesses say she doesn't have a premonition that I'm unlucky!" ”
“…… You're the goddess! Your whole family is a goddess! Zhu Shanshan's originally tense face immediately cracked, "When did I say that you won't be unlucky today?" I'm just saying you shouldn't die! ”
"It's not strange at Eden that you can't die or break your hands or feet, and you're seriously injured in a duel......," Gloria said, sitting down, "and if you're hung up or crippled, don't expect to get a disability pension." And I'......," she smiled at Mike, "I'll ask Liang Ce to find another Trait Awakener to fill your void." ”
“…… The most poisonous woman's heart! ”
"Anyway, be careful." Liang Ce patted him on the shoulder.
Mike nodded to the crowd and turned to the ring.
――
After he left, Zhu Shanshan's expression became solemn. Ever since she watched that video, she has been upset. Earlier, Mike's eight consecutive victories were all losses and casualties, and although it caused her temporary discomfort, there was no such uneasiness. The ruthlessness of Diana, the wind girl, when dealing with the enemy, Zhu Shanshan couldn't help but start worrying about Mike's safety.
"Shouldn't we be planning and preparing to save people?"
Listening to Zhu Shanshan's words, Gloria and Liang Ce glanced at each other.
"This is a hurdle he has to pass. We can't help him. Liang Ce said with a frown.
"......What do you mean," Zhu Shanshan suddenly realized, "If Mike's life is in danger, you don't plan to save him?" ”
"Don't worry about it, he's completely stress-free." Gloria Road.
But Diana would not show mercy. What if something goes wrong? Zhu Shanshan is still worried.
"Then you tell me how to save it? Breaking the rules of the ring? Havoc in the Underwater Palace? Shot out from the bottom of the sea at 7000 meters? Hunted by Aiden and the Hanks Pirates? Liang Ce asked in one breath.
Zhu Shanshan was dumbfounded, she didn't think about it that much at all. If she really gets into trouble with the underworld, she will not survive, Zhu Shanshan knows it in her heart.
She regretted even more that she hadn't persuaded Mike to give up fighting.
"What are you struggling with? You've seen Diana ruthless, aren't you afraid that Mike will also be ruthless? Gloria smiled intriguingly, "He's staying with us......"
"What do you mean?" Zhu Shanshan couldn't turn around for a while, and was stunned.
Looking at Zhu Shanshan's surprised expression, Gloria laughed heartily. This little white flower is really funny......
"Gloria, don't talk nonsense......" Liang Ce couldn't see it, and pulled Zhu Shanshan to the seat and sat down, "Don't think so much, the show is about to start, watch it obediently!" Don't worry, we won't hurt him. ”
――
"Now for the promoter of this challenge, Mike.Miller!" The host's voice was transmitted to every corner of the fighting arena through the loudspeaker, successfully pulling Zhu Shanshan's attention back from the Nine Heavens Cloud.
The arena, which was originally very bright, gradually became dim, and the field control concentrated all the lights in the ring area.
"On the other side, the queen of our undersea palace fighting arena! Diana. Hunter! ”
A storm of applause rang out, and a wave of people started from nowhere. The dark red lights flickered with the crowd, and the light curtain also gave the crowd a long shot.
The audience expressed their excitement and anticipation with applause and screams! Come! Let's call out the names of the players we support! The host raised his arm to the audience and motioned for everyone to shout the slogan.
"Wind Girl!" Someone shouted loudly and took the lead.
"Come on!" The others chimed in in unison.
After three very imposing cheers, the field control of the light curtain aimed the camera at Diana with interest.
Diana stood in the corner of the ring, her long brown-red hair curled up, and the complexion on her face was the kind of translucent white that never saw the light of day. The pitch-black tights wrapped around her bumpy figure, and a pair of snow-white long legs were exposed under the ultra-short hot pants, and her knees were slightly bent, giving people the illusion that she had launched an offensive.
Across from her was a heavily armed Mike, a custom-made multi-checkered camouflage vest that framed his muscular silhouette, and homogeneous ankle-length trousers carrying as much ammunition as he needed. Mike's first weapon was a small, delicate meteor hammer with long metal chains in his hand and a solid metal ball of considerable mass dragged to the ground. For the first time, the hands were armoured, knuckle-length bracers, pale gray metal scales layered on top of each other, looking like two claws growing below the elbows.
"Looks like the players are ready! Now I announce: the fight begins!! ”
The host said, pressing the block button.
For a moment, the ring area fell silent, and all the sounds outside were cut off by the equipment, leaving only the faint breathing sound of the two of them.
――
This is the ninth time Mike has stood in this ring. The process is very familiar.
As soon as the presenter-referee's "Ready-to-Go" came, he started.
The premise of dealing with opponents with superhuman explosiveness is not to stay where you are. Mike unleashed a new footwork and walked around the ring.
"Oh? Funny......" Diana was slightly surprised.
Mike was now a series of afterimages, and from a distance, it looked as if there were seven or eight Mikes walking. Forward and backward, fickle.
――
"In the future, against opponents, there is a high probability that we will be on the surface of the planet. Whether it's a mecha or a naked fight, footwork must be the first basic skill to practice. So, I have two requirements for you, first, to understand the mainstream footwork that is popular in the Nancy system today, and to be proficient in three of the ones I have selected for you to practice, of course, the more the better. Second, this is it. ”
Liang Ce's figure was within Mike's reach, and it blurred instantly, Mike rubbed his eyes, how did he feel that he saw a double vision, just like myopia and astigmatism.
"And then it goes." Liang Ce moved in response to the sound and walked away in an instant, the speed was not fast, but more than a dozen figures were left behind.
"How?" Mike exclaimed.
"It's not difficult to understand, but it's hard to practice."
In fact, there is a liminal limit for the human eye to see things, just like hearing, sounds that are too high and too low frequencies cannot be heard, and there are liminal limits in vision in terms of color and dynamics. For example, a wheel, slowly turning, people can see, gradually speed up, until a certain moment, people can only see the outer outline of the wheel, if the wheel blade is white, at a certain moment only see a piece of white, and can not distinguish the specific blade. This is the critical frequency of flicker in vision, also known as flash fusion.
Using this principle, the muscles of the human body are shaken to the critical frequency of flickering, and it will leave an afterimage in the eyes of the human eye. The size and distance of the afterimage are controlled by the amplitude of the muscle shake and the back and forth tremor when moving.
This is a traditional footwork in the Rockwind Galaxy, called Echo Footwork. To Liang Ce's surprise, during a certain Hanks bounty mission, he saw echo footwork again on some underworld dead soldiers.
