Chapter Seventy-Nine: Observation and Detachment

The wind was far stronger through the ruins than on the plains.

Narrow pipes and dense steel facilities forced the air into the air, gushing out of the cracks in the building with a whistling sound and a violent impact. This small square in the center of the factory is the center of the rushing air turbulence, which quickly blows away the heavy and condensed smoke, exposing everything it hides to broad daylight.

It was supposed to be like this, but when the dark green pungent smoke dispersed, it exposed an empty clearing.

The cold golden pupils glanced around anxiously, but found nothing, which made its owner feel anxious.

"Mistress Medusa, did you catch a mouse?" Medusa's voice rang in her head, and she planted a communicator in her gum to replace a tooth, vibrating to send the communication into her cochlea accurately and discreetly.

"Not yet, but he can't run, so you can prepare for the ceremony in peace." Medusa gave the order in a cold tone.

Unlike the Wraith, who claims to be a priest in front of the Wounded Stream, Medusa is a high priest of Zoroastrianism. If you divide it according to the standards of the disaster department, she is not a high-level alien, and if she has to say it, she can barely be regarded as a C-level.

However, compared to the ghost who just got a blank check from Lao Pu, she is a real high-ranking priest. After all, China's national conditions are here, and these shady organizations are surviving under the government's suppression. It is difficult to develop a large number of believers and members. There are very few real power backbones like Medusa, and they can be called the core figures.

The original plan of the sect was to be here for the last day today, and the ritual evacuation could be completed tonight. ran into Li Molai to stir up the situation, and as soon as the other party stepped into here, she relied on the reserved vigilance to detect it. In order to ensure that the final stage of the ceremony was not interrupted, she personally went out, observed and analyzed Li Mo's combat power for a long time, and chose this place to fight the other party. Originally, everything was going according to her plan, but Li Mo, who disappeared out of thin air at this moment, disrupted all her previous deployments.

She didn't rush to emerge from her hiding place, although she wasn't sure what means Li Mo used to cover her figure, she relied on her super reptilian sixth sense to guess that the other party hadn't completely gone away. She cautiously navigated the dense mass of pipes, switching angles in the hope of spotting the enemy's flaws.

At this moment, Li Mo did not escape, and not only did he not escape, he was still lying motionless on the ground, almost completely exposed to Medusa's field of vision. The strange thing is that the other party didn't seem to see him, and the infiltrating demonic vertical pupils roamed around, but he didn't lock the focus on Li Mo for a long time.

This is the ability that Li Mo obtained after alienation: observation and detachment.

In the military, the research on stealth has never reduced the overheat, from information masking, electromagnetic silencing, infrared blocking, and radar stealth. The military has been seeking new breakthroughs in the contradiction between how to speed up the speed of discovering the other side and how to delay the speed of being discovered by the other side. Among all the means, visual stealth was the earliest, the longest researched, and the most sci-fi effect.

How to make visual invisibility is an old and timeless topic, and the earliest means are not so much visual stealth as visual deception, using the background to deceive the other person's perception. Now it is closest to the concept of visual stealth in a narrow sense, using cameras and displays to transmit the surroundings in real time to create a blind spot.

Using magnetic fields and other means to forcibly change the path of light to create visual black holes is another.

Of course, no matter how difficult it is to change the propagation path of light, it is true that not being irradiated by light does not reflect light, and visual invisibility is naturally achieved. But on the other hand, the invisible person is also equivalent to losing the conditions for receiving light, and everything around them is also equivalent to being invisible.

Li Mo's ability has a bit of this feeling, the difference is that what he distorts is not light, but his own sense of existence.

The awakening of the ability is not like drawing a lottery, which is obtained before being exposed to the catalyst. In fact, most ordinary people have only a dead end in the face of catalysts, which is a real "non-natural disaster". And if he can become an alien under the stimulation of the catalyst, it can only be said that he has abandoned this world from a certain point of view. His own experience and understanding of reality will determine the form in which he will manifest the abilities he has obtained from the alien source.

Embodied in Li Mo, it is the ultimate observation and detachment of the world. When he uses his power, he will infinitely reduce his sense of existence, almost outside of reality, and see the world from the perspective of a third person. This feeling is like Li Mo watching a 3D movie as a viewer, he can observe every detail in it, but he will not have any intersection with it.

However, this is based on the fact that Li Mo fully awakens and becomes an alien.

If he is really fully awakened, then it is very likely that he will really become a lonely third person, like an invisible person who has been pulled away by the magnetic field, completely losing all sense of existence in this world. Therefore, he, who can still be counted as half a human being, only reduces his sense of existence to a certain extent. When he stands still and deliberately retracts his intervention with his surroundings, he turns himself into a blind spot in the other person's consciousness. It's like he's lying on the ground right now, but Medusa, who is so close, can't find any trace of him.

The use of Li Mo's anomalous ability relies on auxiliary means to reduce the sense of presence, such as blurring the other person's vision, using pungent scents to mask his own taste, and using noise to cover up or simply keeping his silence to improve the concealment effect. For example, if you are a pedestrian coming and going on the street, it is difficult for you to remember everyone who passes you, and Li Mo is turning himself into a neglected existence.

As for how to improve the hiding effect, if Li Mo enters the women's collective bathroom naked, he will directly affect whether he can successfully complete the elimination of the sense of presence if he covers a flesh-colored towel between the thighs and does not cover it.

At the same time, it also depends on how strong the other person's intuition is and how close the contact is. If Medusa stepped down and stepped on Li Mo's ass now, then even if she was blind, she would not ignore Li Mo's existence under physical contact. This is also why Li Mo first used smoke bombs to block the other party's sight and sense of smell to complete this consciousness deception.

If in a factory area with complex terrain and dark light, Li Mo has full confidence to quickly break away from the other party's perception. But now he doesn't dare to bet on whether he can accomplish it on an empty concrete floor. If the other person is a person with sharp intuition, then it is very likely to be perceived and fall into passivity. Even by the standards of an ordinary soldier, Li Mo is not one in a thousand elites, and the skills shown by his opponent just now made him completely give up the plan to take a risk, and he decided to wait and see what happens, get rid of the current predicament before making the next step.

Medusa is just an Inhuman with a strong sense of intuition, and Inhumans with alienation ability and beasts often get some physical improvements. For Medusa, she is very good at tracking the animal body, perceiving temperature and smell, and intuition instincts, and of course, her snake-like flexible waist. If Li Mo hadn't chosen to stay still just now and fled to the depths, it was still unknown whether he could avoid her ears and eyes.

At this moment, she strongly felt that Li Mo had not gone far, and patiently and meticulously searched around this small square. Her graceful and powerful body moved under the cover of the buildings around the clearing, looking for the flaws of the other party.

Li Mo, who was lying on the ground, was also very uncomfortable at the moment, and he underestimated the trickiness of the other party. He had expected that the other party would think that he had fled after the smoke cleared, but he never expected Medusa's surprising patience and caution, and he did not intend to jump to conclusions. Looking at the other party's delicate body that showed a little bit of soft limbs from time to time in the dense pipe gaps, Li Mo deduced that the other party was a female alien. At this moment, he was glad that he didn't choose to act rashly just now, otherwise it would really be difficult to say that he could get out of the other party's hands.

Soon, as Medusa wandered, her figure disappeared from Li Mo's field of vision. He didn't dare to look up, for fear that this abnormal movement would disturb the other party to reveal his whereabouts. He could feel two scorching eyes sweeping around him, and not seeing each other made Li Mo very uneasy, his whole body was as tight as a car spring, and he didn't dare to move a little, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

Li Mo below was certainly thinking in his heart, and Medusa, who was going around to search, was also quite uneasy. She originally thought that it would be difficult for the other party to perform in a hurry, but she was playing some shoddy tricks, and she could see through it by switching angles. But this empty piece of empty talk is not big or small, and I am about to go around for a week, why can't I see the slightest clue? I couldn't help but feel a little shaken in my heart.

If the other party can really slip away silently under his nose, once he goes deep into the factory area and finds the ceremony that is being held, then the matter is serious. She was indeed very patient when hunting, and when she confronted Li Mo half an hour ago, she felt that everything was under control, and she didn't mind spending a day or two with the other party.

But not right now, she wasn't sure if her opponent was still here. If the other party is allowed to escape from the few open spaces, then the next step is the transposition of the host and the guest, and she is not sure that she will be able to find the other party again from this complex steel forest if the other party is on guard. If there is an open space, the other party can easily escape from her hands, and how can she capture it when she enters the operation area? Thinking about it, Medusa had already circled and returned to the pipe where she had pounced for her first blow in the afternoon.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to leave, Li Mo's heart became more and more anxious, and he held the pistol tightly with his right hand and was ready to fight to the death, could it be said that the other party saw it? He is not completely confident in his ability, which is a very contradictory thing.

On the one hand, he stubbornly corrected his own perception and denied the effect of this ability. is like a flat boat drifting on the ocean, tightly guarding his bottom line as a human being, and not letting himself become a stranger. On the other hand, he had to rely on his ability in action again and again, and each success made him drift away from this world, and it also shook his cognition.

At this moment when his life was hanging by a thread, he could only hope that he could rely on his ability to survive the crisis. He deeply understood why those fanatical believers would worship Xenomorph as an evil god and sacrifice to it, and be saved by a miracle when life and death were at stake, so it was not incomprehensible that they were willing to sacrifice everything for this miracle. The impact of such moments on values can easily overturn decades of accumulation.

When Li Mo was struggling in his heart, a chuckle suddenly came from the top of the room. A soft figure jumped lightly to the ground, and the tights firmly attached to the skin showed the woman's graceful and seductive body, with a seductive smile on her bright face, and what was particularly eye-catching was the pair of stunning golden vertical pupils, which contained an endless variety of different styles in the demon.

Medusa stared at the place where Li Mo was lying on her stomach, and her mouth lightly opened to reveal a row of fine and neat braided shell teeth, and said in a soft and soft tone with a somewhat coquettish tone

"Don't hide, let's talk."
