Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Ghost Figure
The snake-like (shēn) shadow rested above Li Mo's oblique face. The lower (shēn) intertwines the pipes, while the upper half (shēn) stands upright and leans forward slightly, exposing a glamorous face to the sun.
The pointed chin, the tight and pretty forehead, and the small nose set off the beauty of the whole face mixed with innocence. The two eyebrows flew into the temples long and straight diagonally, adding a bit of cold aura. A pair of slightly squinted apricot eyes under the eyebrows, between opening and closing, can't hide a pair of golden vertical pupils, under this pair of bewitching pupils, it seems that the two closed cherry lips are not very eye-catching.
This strange and beautiful (shēn) shadow quietly approached all the way from the dead corner of Li Mo's field of vision, and at this moment it was only seven meters away from Li Mo below. Firmly fixed on the back of his head.
Li Mozheng below finished checking around, frowning and standing beside the stone pit on the ground thinking about something. Holding the pistol in one hand and drooping naturally, he held his chin in the other hand and fell into a long test, unaware of the beautiful snake that was staring coldly at the back of his head.
And the beautiful snake entrenched on the pipe didn't seem to be in a hurry to start, and the lower half of the wriggling (shēn) stopped moving, but a pair of different pupils stuck to Li Mo (shēn) without relaxing. For a while, the two sides reached a wonderful balance, and the immobile Li Mo and the snake girl who were also dormant formed a freeze-frame ink painting.
The atmosphere of slaughter gradually rose, and the originally cheerful insect chirping and soft wind sound seemed to disappear in an instant. The space seemed to be frozen and condensed, and all life was passing quickly and silently.
I don't know how long it took, Li Mo's shadow on the ground pulled out by the afternoon sun was getting longer little by little, but he was still motionless, like a solid statue. And the snake-like woman above also waited very patiently, as if she was one with her surroundings, and a smile slowly appeared on her face.
Li Mo had long spotted someone snooping on him not far behind (shēn), and by the time he realized it, he had already lost the opportunity. The other party paused at a distance of seven meters (shēn), making it difficult for Li Mo, who was facing away from the enemy, to detect more information. Originally, he was not the type to be good at head-on confrontation with people, and at this moment, he was very passive when an unknown enemy took the initiative to attack.
Helpless, Li Mo could only pretend not to know and wait for the enemy to negligently leak the flaws and give him a chance to reverse the situation. He is very confident in his abilities, although he is not technically an alien at the moment, but his unique anomaly is a very powerful shēn technique when the opponent is unguarded, which is also the biggest reliance on him to dare to go into danger alone.
However, the other party obviously also sensed Li Mo's thoughts, although he didn't know what he was going to do, but he was not in a hurry, and suddenly the two sides fell into a battle of endurance and will. Both were waiting for the other to play first, hoping to see through each other's abilities in order to deal with them, and this balance was formed.
Although neither side had the willingness to take the lead, Li Mo's pressure was obviously greater than that of the other party. He could roughly feel the distance between the two sides, and since the other party had chosen to confront him at this distance, it was obvious that he was confident in the close (shēn) grappling. The enemy is in the open and the dark is in the dark, and I am afraid that I will enter the other party's field of vision soon after stepping here.
The opponent cleverly pulled the distance to avoid his sight, but at this moment, he chose this slightly empty area as the battlefield and suddenly narrowed the distance, obviously seeing through his main means of attack is the gun in his hand, and he is very confident that he can defeat himself in a frontal battle.
Unfortunately, the other party guessed correctly, and fighting head-on is really Li Mo's biggest shortcoming. If the opponent ambushes himself in a group of equipment with complex terrain, Li Mo has enough confidence to see through the opponent's ambush and use the terrain to get out of the battlefield. However, at this moment, his ability was suppressed to the maximum.
On the other hand, in just seven meters, you can break through your arm with just one sprint, and the advantage of the gun is also greatly weakened. It is estimated that the opponent thinks that he has won the victory (cāo), hoping to use this long confrontation to dissipate his energy and fighting spirit and pull the balance of victory to the greatest extent.
Li Mo could guess that the other party was a person who was proficient in observation and calculation, and short on fighting, through a series of behaviors of entering the refinery. But his ability is far from being that simple, and the process of alienation is difficult to describe in words. In a sense, this process is more similar to a kind of re-understanding and construction of reality, when a person acquires the ability to communicate with aliens under the influence of catalysts, and thus re-forms his own reality, that is, he completely becomes alien.
When Li Mo, who is sliding into the world of aliens, is in the process of abandoning the old cognition and gradually understanding reality through a new way of cognition, although he has not completely abandoned the "human" (shēn), but his unique ability still shows extraordinary power.
The grim form made Li Mo unable to spend it like this, after all, this is the opponent's home field, blindly consuming it will only make the opponent's chances of winning bigger and bigger, Li Mo's empty left hand slowly raised and touched his waist.
The snake-like woman entrenched above noticed Li Mo's abnormal movement, and a bright smile completely bloomed on her face. Knowing that the other party couldn't help but move, with the flexible flicking of his two hands, ten hollow-core fingerknives fixed to the phalanx through the skin (ròu) through surgery relied on precision gears to drive the dexterous movement.
The joints of both feet bent back 180 degrees, kicking out violently in a force posture that is impossible for humans to make, a pair of beautiful legs as soft as rope and tough as steel, with a slender waist that is as boneless as a slight swing, the whole person is like a swift and silent poisonous snake pounced on the poor prey. She was so swift and graceful and dangerously deadly, her whole graceful body with a moving curve seemed to be flying in the air, and the tips of her fingers flashed ten points coldly, and in the blink of an eye, she broke through the limit of distance and touched Li Mo's back.
It was as if a lightning bolt had split this ink painting full of murderous atmosphere, and the snake girl, who had been quiet like a virgin at the last moment, was now like a cobra that pounced out, as swift as thunder. Passing through the barriers of space sows the will to die.
Although her movements were almost at the limit, she still failed to kill Li Mo. It's not that Li Mo's speed is too big, it's because his movements are too concise, so simple that he just pulls lightly. When he moved his left hand, he sensed the enemy's attack behind (shēn), and instantly pulled the index finger of his tensor (ròu) on an inconspicuous clasp around his waist.
A thunderclap suddenly exploded in his waist, and thick smoke gushed out with a pungent smell, and with the help of the air wave generated by the explosion, Li Mo flipped herself sideways, causing her to fall on the vacant with a fatal blow, only to cut through the thick camouflage uniform on Li Mo (shēn). Realizing that she missed the blow of the beautiful snake, she did not panic, and the shēn landed to ease the impact. Sensing that the smell of smoke was wrong, he closed his eyes and landed non-stop, and rushed forward to get out of the smoke-shrouded area.
Li Mo, who used this sticker (shēn) blast to avoid the attack, was not happy, and hurriedly leaned down (shēn) to the ground after overturning to the ground, although he was equipped with explosives and was prepared, but he was still injured by such a close explosion. Originally, this special bomb was prepared for close combat, and the fuse of the bomb body was connected to a 20-centimeter nylon rope and a pull ring, and when the pull ring was thrown forward with the index finger, it would explode when it reached the limit of the nylon rope. The integrated pouring of the projectile body only cuts a cross incision on the opposite side of the ring fuse, and does not produce splashing shrapnel when exploding, but uses the pull of the nylon rope to keep the incision facing forward and spray (shè) a beam of fireworks to kill the opponent, Li Mo only needs to avoid the projectile that is pushed back.
But he never expected that the opponent's attack speed was so fast, and he didn't give him time to throw a bomb at all, Li Mo hurriedly pulled the bomb directly, and avoided the fatal blow with the help of the reverse thrust from the inslice spray (shè). However, his entire left half (shēn) was numb from the shock, and his left hand was burned by the spurting flames. Fortunately, the explosives were mixed with fuming agents and chlorine-making agents, and the thick and heavy smoke with the smell of hydrochloric acid billowed out, gathering but not dispersing like a huge dark green bowl clasped on the ground, covering up Li Mo's (shēn)-shaped smell.
The beautiful snake rushed out of the smoke and stopped (shēn) quickly dodging behind a ruined wall, staring through the brick cracks at the gradually spreading smoke. She didn't expect the other party to avoid her attack in this way, and at the moment, she smelled the sour smell wafting through the air, and she realized that the smoke only carried a small amount of chlorine, and the intention to mask the smell was far greater than to kill. In this way, it seems that the other party is hiding in the smoke at the moment, if he didn't choose to get out of the smoke first and chase the other party, he must have succeeded at this moment.
Although she was put on a position by the other party, she was not in a hurry here. She had long considered that the other party must have a lot of life-saving things under the bulging camouflage uniform, so she deliberately chose this place for the battlefield, unless the opponent's (shēn) hand was far faster than herself, otherwise it would definitely not be too late to avoid her own ears and eyes in this open area and be the first to drill out of the smoke. If the opponent really thinks that he has no long-range attack and can only fight in close (shēn) and chooses to break through and flee, then the winner will be determined in an instant.
Not only does she have the eyes of a cold-blooded animal, but she also has the outstanding resistance (xìng) of a cold-blooded animal. She cautiously climbed up to a row of thick pipes next to her, raising her vision and hiding the shēn shape behind the pipes, observing the smoke through the gap to prevent the other party from escaping from the other side. She wasn't sure if the other party had the ability to accurately hit her in the smoke, so she didn't expose too much of her (shēn) body to be safe, and when she looked at her from the smoke area, she could only faintly see the pair of cold golden eyes through the narrow gap.
The beauty snake's caution was not without value, in fact, Li Mo could really see her every move through the smoke. Holding back the discomfort caused by the acid (xìng) smoke to the cornea, Li Mo carefully observed the other party. In the confrontation just now, the opponent showed his unattainable speed.
As he expected, the other party was indeed very good at close (shēn) fighting. At this moment, as if to guard against the guns in his hands, the other party hid (shēn) behind a row of pipes. Li Mo could clearly see the eyes that were looking at him through the gap, they were a pair of eyes that did not belong to human beings at all. He estimated the distance and angle and gave up the idea of shooting, and even if the opponent didn't hide, he couldn't be sure that the enemy was incredibly agile at this distance.
Li Mo, who was lying in the smoke, analyzed the situation, and so far he had only known the qíng of the other party, and the speed of his actions far exceeded that of ordinary people. Judging by the broken pieces of cloth on the back, it is very likely that they have sharp claws or are holding knives. In addition, judging from its reaction, it should still be a little afraid of firearms.
"Is it an alienated reptile?" Li Mo thought in his heart, if this is the case, the other party should not have the means of long-range attack, otherwise the sneak attack just now would not have chosen to pounce on him. If the gun in his hand can really threaten the other party, as long as he runs into the complex smelting area first, his chances of victory should be higher, and if he can capture the other party, it will undoubtedly be of great help to the next investigation. After thinking about it in his heart, Li Mo's watch (qíng) gradually became solemn...
The beautiful snake watched patiently as the smoke gradually thinned from the edge, and she was fully prepared whether the other party chose to run to the opposite passage or fight back. The moment she waited for the other party to show her (shēn) form, she slashed the killer and neatly disintegrated the opponent's combat power.
However, when the fog cleared, she was shocked to find that the ground was as smooth and clean as before, and the prey had disappeared in front of her out of thin air...
