Chapter 17: Preliminary Round—Dead Cthulhu Awaits a Dream Scene
In my opinion, there is nothing more benevolent in the world than the inability of human beings to connect all their thoughts and thoughts. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Our habitat is a calm island of ignorance in the darkness of the endless vastness, but that doesn't mean we have to sail away. Scientific exploration in all fields has followed its own direction of development and has not harmed us so far; But one day, when we can really piece all that disparate knowledge together, the real world before us, and the human condition in it, will lead us either into madness or flee from the terrible light to a peaceful, dark new age.
――H? P. Lovecraft
"Lin Qing." Next to Kill Matt, who fell to the ground, Golden Libra rubbed his abdomen, which was still aching, and frowned, "His ability, space confinement, why, no, imprison me?" ”
(Ha, of course it's imprisoned - all the joints are imprisoned.) Humans are very fragile animals, not only can they be easily killed, but they are also easily incapacitated. If all the joints are immobile, it is no different from being imprisoned in the whole body of a human being. )
Golden Libra nodded as if he suddenly realized: "But, how do you know that he didn't, imprisoning his whole body?" ”
(Because he explained his abilities too clearly.) Judging from these two sentences, "push the confined space" and "solidify the selected space", the confined space, at least for him, is a whole, and even if it is not an absolute defense that cannot be destroyed, it is too unrealistic to break through with just a small syringe, right? )
"Before, too, my knife was blocked, and then it was unable to move. ”
(Isn't it?) Spatial confinement is not just a control skill, the attack he said, and the defense he didn't say, can be achieved. In fact, most of the abilities in the novel are in this kind of setting, as long as there is enough imagination, the ability is omnipotent. )
Golden Libra puffed out: "What novel?" Don't say, I don't understand, words. ”
(Yes, yes, I see, I'm sorry for upsetting you.) )
If Xiao Cang could learn about this conversation, his heart must have collapsed......
This kind of thing has not only been said to Lin Qing by one person, but he himself has said it I don't know how many times, but Lin Qing's reaction has always been to put a pose proudly, and then say this in a very imposing voice: "You elementary school students know a basket. Playing a meme that others don't understand is as thrilling and exciting as running naked through a crowd with a sneak. This is the high-end of my high-end as a high-IQ, highly educated and experienced person! ”
Differential treatment is always terrible......
After a brief exchange—the above string of Lin Qing's nonsense was all passed on in the psychic link, adding up to less than a second, so it still met the standard of brevity—the golden libra silently dragged the corpse aside.
Although the golden scale has understood, let's explain what happened a little more.
Kill Matt - I mean Fang Mobai, the person with the ability to imprison in space, his ability is very strong, just like Lin Qing's analysis before, whether it is offense, defense or control, all of them are too strong to be unwanted. But, of course, there can be no perfect ability in this world.
The disadvantage of the ability of spatial confinement - or in the system of superability, the disadvantage of all abilities is that the manifestations are diverse, but the essence is too simple. In the end, this ability is just imprisoning space.
When controlling the enemy, the confined spatial surface can be regarded as an absolute defense, even Fang Mobai doesn't know how to break through it; And while defending, the space around you is also confined, which will also restrict your movements.
If he hadn't joined the Dragon Group, Fang Mobai's life, the use of this ability would have been beyond the sky, and he would have stayed at the initial stage of imprisoning all the enemies who threatened him and fleeing for his life, or imprisoning himself for self-preservation.
However, there are a lot of capable people in the dragon group. Unlike the dragons in many paranormal novels, the dragons are centered on these supernatural beings, but the main body is countless scientists, metaphysicians, philosophers, theologians, and novelists. These comprehensively analyze the principles of the abilities of the superpowers, explore the internal laws of the abilities, consider the transfer, replication and evolution of the abilities, fantasize about the use of their abilities, and then provide sufficient resources to experiment with these ideas.
With the help of these people, the strength of the vast majority of those who joined the dragon group has been greatly improved - the research of the ability, if not a breakthrough, can be regarded as thriving.
It was with the help of these people that Fang Mobai thought for the first time that there was a way to block all the opponent's joints in order to stop the opponent's actions - as for that attack method, the other Mobai was completely incomprehensible.
In order to make himself stronger, Fang Mobai, who basically never attended classes since he was a child, and obtained his college diploma with all his money and power, spent a lot of energy to supplement his medical knowledge about the structure of the human body while eating, drinking, and having fun as always, and worked hard like never before - even if it was just his own ability, mastering the "joint blockade technique".
After such efforts, Fang Mobai suddenly realized how empty his previous life was, and felt sick to his stomach when he thought of his former self, in order to show that he was completely cut off from his former self, he also specially dyed his hair in the colorful color that he hated the most in the past-well, let's not talk about this first.
All in all, Fang Mobai, who had successfully transformed into a killer Matt, was the top among the more than thirty supernatural people in the Dragon Group, and he could also rank first in the international arena - he thought that he was no longer the same as before.
But unfortunately this is not the case, people are not so easy to change. Killing Matt is still the arrogant, frivolous, and brainless Fang Mobai of the past.
"Joint blockade" is indeed a very practical ability - for normal humans. But when humans are not normal humans, such as being possessed by tentacle monsters or something, Fang Mobai will be confused and turn back into the weak chicken that can only escape and defend.
That's why, at a time when most of the Adepts are fighting the Beast Plague, he, as the top powerhouse, flies around and acts as a liaison - though he doesn't know that.
Players, on the other hand, also fall into the category of "not normal humans".
Objectively speaking, in addition to being able to resurrect infinitely and use magic, there is also a huge difference between players and NPCs, that is, players have an extra "organ" - a portable space.
While it's common for players to carry things out of their carry-on space in their hands, that's because it's more convenient and safer. According to the operating instructions, the removal of the item from the carry-on space looks like this:
Players can take out objects in their personal space by mind and make them appear in a certain position close to their body, and can manipulate the specific part that is attached to them, but it is difficult to control the posture in which it appears. And, when taken out, the object is absolutely stationary.
We see that because the conditions are very rigid, it is very difficult to play anything other than taking something out and using it in your hand, and the most reliable one is probably to throw heavy objects down with your personal space in a high place; And the second one is to use something in the space to trigger a certain mechanism on the body in a certain posture.
After learning how to use the carry-on space, Lin Qing asked Xiao Cang to install a lot of iron balls and other things in his space, and gave Golden Libra a small black box - or he stubbornly stuffed this thing called "Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle" into Golden Libra's arms, and asked her to carry it with him.
Friends who have watched "The Legend of Deer and Ding" probably have an impression of this rainstorm pear flower needle, in addition to the three major artifacts of treasure armor, dagger and shuang'er, the rainstorm pear flower needle is Lord Wei's desperate reversal - it can be said that it is the only hope.
A small iron box with a small mechanism on it, and when this mechanism is touched, a large cluster of poisonous needles will fly out......
Okay, I think you guys probably already understand what's going on, so let's move on to the plot.
As I said before, although I thought that the work I was doing was very important, Fang Mobai did something that was essentially the work of a liaison - he didn't come to catch the Golden Libra, the reason why he would trouble the Golden Libra was because the Dragon Group did have rules on player recruitment, and on the other hand, he thought that his ability restraint had an absolute advantage.
All in all, since he is a liaison, he came to Spring City this time to find someone.
"What should I do?" The golden Libra looked at the flip phone that glowed with colorful light and had skull stickers on it, vibrating constantly, and sounding the flip phone that seemed to have no sound effect other than heavy bass, and was a little stunned.
(Hehe, this killing Matt classmate is quite retro.) Pick it up, don't speak, maybe you can hear something more important - by the way, Xiao Jin, you really don't plan to kill this guy? )
"Nope." The golden scale replied briefly, and bent down to pick up the phone.
(This bastard beats you so hard - you're being too kind, little gold...... )
"If you are beaten, you will kill someone, this is called a madman." Golden Libra said and answered the phone.
"Help, help, help!" A woman's hoarse voice screamed as if it could tear the eardrum of the listener even if it came out of the earpiece, and the golden Libra was so frightened that his hands trembled, and he hurriedly pulled the phone far away, "Why hasn't anyone come yet!" I did! This is important! Help me! Not again! Feed! Who did you send? Where is it! ”
(…… I was nervous, but I didn't seem to be in danger of my life. It's more like being harassed by an unknowable threat, which causes a nervous breakdown, and there may be sleep deprivation, and the mood is too extreme. )
After analyzing it for a while, Lin Qing decided to try if he could deceive that person - to Lin Qing's surprise, this time the Golden Libra didn't seem to be repulsed by this action, but seemed to be a little happy.
"Don't worry, we're here. Now in, Spring City Airport. According to Lin Qing's request, the golden libra could lower his voice, "Please, say it again, your position." ”
"You just ask Fang Mobai to know!" The woman's voice was manic, "He knows where I am!" I told him everything! It's his phone! You're in this together! Hurry up! Help me! Yes! ”
(Really- this crazy woman is useless even if she cheats.) The possibility of communication simply does not exist. Forget it, the dragon group or something, let's go back and talk about it--the supernatural, I didn't expect this kind of person to really exist-? Anyway, let's do our thing first - wait! )
In the psychic link, Lin Qing suddenly felt a very strong emotional fluctuation.
(Little Gold, you pay attention, that crazy woman, whispering, what?!) )
“ph'ngluimglw'nafhCthulhuR'lyehwgah'naglfhtagnph'ngluimglw'nafhCthulhuR'lyehwgah'naglfhtagnph'ngluimglw'nafhCthulhuR'lyehwgah'naglfhtagn……”
The same sentence was repeated over and over again, and unlike the crazy roar just now, this time the voice was low and mysterious.
(Fienlu - Migoluev - Cthulhu - Lyle - Wanago - Futan...... Isn't this a line from the Cthulhu Mythos? )
