Chapter 278: Surprise
The clock hands on the wall move slowly, making a slight sound of mechanical gears running at regular intervals.
In front of the spotlessly clean desk sits a well-dressed man, dressed in a neatly ironed red suit, giving a strong visual impact.
Judging from his face alone, he would not be more than forty years old, and his long-trained physical fitness could be seen from the outline of his body revealed by his clothes.
Normally, it would be difficult for an average civilian to maintain such a sophisticated and strong figure outside of work – unless his work itself is tied to a strong body.
The man's facial features tend to be softer, but there is an obvious scar in the middle of his nose bone, which seems to have been injured by some kind of blunt object, so a piece of the nose bridge is missing, and it looks extremely hideous.
Other than that, there was no more information from him. It's like a canvas with a small part smeared, and all you can read is the part that is stained with paint, and everything else is blank.
He had been sitting in this position since three hours earlier, not moving a moment, and his eyes had been watching the movement of the clock, not paying attention to anything else.
This kind of ultra-high concentration can be maintained for a full three hours, which has to be said to be a bit too amazing.
After three hours of waiting, he finally got the sound he wanted, the gradual clarity of footsteps outside the office.
The solid wood door was pushed open, and the visitor even knocked on the door and twisted the handle, which seemed very rude.
A green-haired young man stumbled into the room, still panting for breath, and his expensive suit was also a little messy at this time, and some parts were stained with dark brown stains, revealing a not very good taste.
The man sitting at the desk looked the green-haired young man up and down for a moment before he spoke calmly:
"Thirty seconds left, and you're missing this interview."
Yamazaki Takashi, or Tang Juyi, coughed, and stood at the door holding the door frame, the expression on his face was not polite, and it could even be called a little unhappy:
"Don't say it as if it's my fault, if it weren't for the six-sided explosive that killed me more than a dozen times, and the little surprises you planted along the way, I would have been sitting in this room dressed thirty minutes ago."
Coughing again, Tang Juyi walked to the chair opposite the desk and sat down very familiarly, with a very familiar gesture:
"Although I realized that the road ahead was not going to be easy, I really underestimated your quality. Not to mention the indescribable creature hidden in the shadows on Line 2, the talking sculpture at the entrance of your office building alone is disgusting enough. ”
As if recalling something disgusting, Tang Juyi showed a rather disgusted expression:
"One thing to say, the nature of that sculpture is really uncomfortable, both physically and psychologically......"
The man in red did not show a look of surprise on his face:
"So, you've already met Polfez?"
Tang Juyi's expression became meaningful:
"Polfis? You mean the sculpture? I didn't expect that in addition to the content of the test, which is full of malice, even the level of naming is so unsightly. ”
As he spoke, Tang Juyi shook his head with a "tsk".
When the man in red heard Tang Juyi's words, he actually showed understanding:
"Staying sane after being tested by Porfis is more than I expected, and I thought you would need me to go down and carry you up or something."
Tang Juyi laughed out loud, and his face was full of expressions of "what you mean by this is simply insulting me":
"Stay sane? Exceeding expectations? IMHO, though the pineapple in your mouth is fat—"
"It's Polfis."
The man in red corrected Tang Juyi's words very seriously.
Tang Juyi nodded indifferently:
"Okay, the Head & Shoulders in your mouth, it's really aggressive, it can create different fear projections according to different people, and transform the spiritual level of attack into physical interference at the reality level, but its weakness is also obvious."
The man in red was aroused by Tang Juyi's words, and he didn't care about Tang Juyi's calling Pol Fes as Head & Shoulders:
"Weakness? I'm curious how you managed to escape its grasp. ”
The corners of Tang Juyi's mouth raised, revealing a very strange smile:
"Ah, this is actually a very simple question...... After I found out that there was an interval between the fear projections, I made a few attempts. I deceived myself that "my worst fear was a yellow plastic screaming chicken", and then wrung off its neck after it turned into a plastic toy chicken that was good for nothing but screaming. ”
Speaking of this, Tang Juyi paused, and pointed to the ground with his finger:
"So I'll give you a suggestion too—it's best to get someone to clean your gate, because I've smashed your pineapple Fillers into about thirty pieces of rubble."
At this moment, the face of the man in red changed, and his eyes were full of solemnity when he looked at Tang Juyi:
"You smashed Polfes? No way...... Judging from the data, you only have time to retrace this one......"
Tang Juyi cocked Erlang's legs and said very arrogantly:
"You're right, my abilities only have one time to backtrack. However, giving myself psychological cues and forcing my subconscious mind to change are not special abilities, but my instincts. ”
As he spoke, Tang Juyi let out a "hee-hee" laugh, which was a little creepy:
“surprise?”
Hearing this, the man in red sat up directly from the chair, and the breath of the whole person began to change, entering a situation similar to a state of alert, and the muscles and nerves of his body were in a state of high tension, like a humanoid beast, staring at Tang Juyi standing at the door:
"Takashi Yamazaki, you have indeed brought us a great surprise...... So I think it's necessary for me to reassess your threat level......"
Tang Juyi also stood up slowly, showing a very relaxed smile:
"I see, it seems that the range of abilities I've shown is enough for you to identify as a 'threat,' and there's a good chance you'll be suffocating me with your strong biceps in the next few dozen seconds before proceeding with my next move."
A hexagonal box was taken out of Tang Juyi's pocket and displayed in front of the man in red, and the smile on Tang Juyi's face was a little brighter:
"Do you recognize this thing?"
From staring at the object in Tang Juyi's hand to recognizing what this object was, it only took a second for the man in red, but his face was also pale.
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Tang Juyi smiled and raised the metal box higher:
"Once I had enough knowledge to defuse the bomb, I took the time to study its construction and successfully changed its detonation method from automatic to manual. In other words, with a blink of an eye's reaction time, I can wipe out everything in the room, whether it's you or me. ”
The man in red froze and stared at Tang Juyi's eyes, trying to judge whether what he said was true or false.
"Surprised, huh?"
Tang Juyi tilted his head and said lightly:
"I'm also surprised that someone who can come up with this method to test whether I have special abilities actually didn't expect that I could use it to threaten you in turn, this should be the so-called Baimi Yishu?"
