Chapter 5 Twisted Things Are Here
A story has its own setting and main story, and with a special style, you can create a different story.
Gu Wu knew the original, but he didn't think that he could play the protagonist who experienced the plot in the original; Because he is not the same person as the protagonist of the original story, he will naturally create a new plot to take the story on a different path.
Sometimes the world corrects itself, that is, when a person should go left but is changed to the right, the world creates an accident to make him continue to go left, which is the 'self-repair of the world'.
However, in Gu Wu's opinion, the self-repair of this world does not seem to be strong, otherwise the plot that just happened would have been distorted back long ago.
In other words, the original plot is different from the current plot, forming two branches with differences.
"Looks like it's going to change the worldline of Destiny Stone......"
Gu Wu muttered, to ask him if he liked this kind of branch, for him, according to the routine to be able to completely predict the next story, but that kind of development is equivalent to being directly dominated by the world......
But if you don't follow the routine, the new plot will also make the information that Gu Wu learned lose some of its meaning, increase the difficulty, and make things more troublesome, but it doesn't give you more freedom.
If he had to choose, Gu Wu would choose the latter, using his own hands to promote the plot, rather than being blindly led.
And there are many unfortunate people in this world, and it would be interesting if they could be saved.
Gu Wuke didn't forget what the system had said, it said that it was better than the previous host.
At the same time, it is said that the previous host killed a lot of people in a certain mission, if Gu Wu can easily save a group of unfortunate people, it can be regarded as better than the previous host, right?
It's stupid to compete against someone who is long gone, but that's the challenge, and whatever he created is still recorded regardless of whether the record holder is not there or not.
The previous host was a very powerful existence in Gu Wu's eyes, but the previous host didn't seem to make good use of the strength he had, and it was a pity that he died in an accident.
"I'm getting used to this kind of power......
Gu Wu is currently in the air, and it can also be said that he is flying in the air.
Of course, the principle Gu Wu didn't know, after all, how could this skill born from fantasy find a way to explain it?
Gu Wu, who was flying at high speed, felt the flow of air, everything in his field of vision was constantly receding, and those dazzling neon lights also formed a streamer, extending backwards in the form of a long colored line.
"It's huge......
The megalithic monuments that surround the entire Tokyo area come into view at this moment, and they are like a high wall to prevent the invasion of giants, but sooner or later they will be breached.
If you want to ask Gu Wu why he is so sure, it is because he feels that the current plot has not yet developed to the plot of the 'Third Kanto Battle', otherwise it would be impossible for the eldest lady of the Holy Son of Heaven to continue to stay there.
"Is it the plot of the second volume or so......?"
When there was still some distance left, Gu Wu heard the sound of gunfire from directly ahead!
The bullet pierced through the night sky and rushed towards Gu Wu, but before it could hit, it was resisted by an invisible barrier, and it fell weakly towards the street below.
According to Altair's reminder just now, Gu Wu, who was slowing down, looked forward, and there was a figure on top of a building that quickly ran away, so Gu Wu rushed over directly.
He rises in height and finally falls to the ground.
However, because Gu Wu hadn't flown a few times, he fell to the ground and fell suddenly, but fortunately, he controlled the ground to form a barrier on the way and didn't continue to roll.
"It's terrible."
Gu Wu, who got up, complained, and then spread a barrier around him, using it to resist the attacks of the enemy in the shadows.
The top of the building he is on is very different from the original story, and it looks like an unfinished construction site.
Probably because the owner of this place has the idea of expansion, so there are bricks, sand, wood and steel piled up all around.
Gu Wu, who was looking for when the light switch was, walked inside.
Since it is on the roof, only the moonlight can be used as lighting when there are no lights.
"I don't think I ran away."
Gu Wu, who thought of this, rushed out.
He strode into the darkness, and a blast of light came from his right hand.
Bang! The impact of light illuminated the pitch-black place, and a figure instantly jumped out of the hidden place, pulling the trigger on Gu Wu before falling.
The sound of gunfire meant that the other party had no intention of surrendering, and Gu Wu, who had already spread the barrier, blocked the four bullets fired by the other party.
Enemies that land on the ground roll in an attempt to make their way to unlit areas.
However, no matter how fast the enemy is, once it is locked by the blade, it will not be able to escape!
"Got You"
Whew——! It's similar to the saber summoned by Altair, but with a larger number of blades that cut through the void, covering the enemy's area like a bombarded missile!
Gu Wu, who knew what he knew, could deduce the position of the other party, so in fact, he was just blocking the path for the enemy's advance and retreat.
As a result, a large number of sword blades began to penetrate into the concrete floor, and they formed a formation to completely surround the enemy, like a sword formation.
"Don't run away."
Gu Wu walked over, and when he passed the switch on the way, he pressed the button and turned on the spotlight on the top of the construction site, making this area clearly visible.
"Are these traps prepared long ago......? No, it's impossible...... How did you ......"
"Sure enough, as I guessed, you're the ...... Tina Sprunte, right? ”
"I don't know."
"It's useless to hide it, I'm still quite clear about your affairs, after all, it's also a regular role."
"What do you want to do?"
Tina Sprunte, who had abandoned the sniper rifle, only had a pistol as a weapon at this moment.
She is now one of the transformed mechanical soldiers belonging to Dr. Alain, with the owl factor, she can reach her best at night, and even then she is no match for Gu Wu.
After all, being able to use the power of protosagulars meant that she was strong in terms of physical strength and reflexes, but the 'Senluo Wanxiang' that Gu Wu copied had a wide range of skills, so that she didn't have any advantages to speak of.
"The order you received is to kill the Son of Heaven, and my mission is to protect the Son of Heaven, under the premise of the mission between you and me, you have no chance of winning."
“…… It's not a good situation, but I haven't ...... it yet."
"Let's give you an example."
Bang!!!!
The pile of steel not far away suddenly collapsed, and one of the steel flew up, being controlled by Gu Wu and moving in front of Tina.
"Can you get out of the way?"
“……”
Tina frowned slightly, she pulled the trigger again the moment Gu Wu blinked!
Bullets will be blocked! Tina, who acquiesced to this situation, jumped up suddenly, and she used her original aragut abilities to run briskly on the steel controlled by Gu Wu!
"Oh? Not a bad decision. ”
Seeing that Tina was about to stomp on the steel to approach him, he turned it upside down, ready to throw Tina on the ground.
But......
"It's too slow!"
Tina spoke, pulled the trigger for the third time the moment she landed, and then accelerated and lunged, pulling out the dagger hidden in her body!
The young girl showed amazing strength and judgment! However, all this is not enough to break the shield.
The strength beyond ordinary people and the strength in the physical sense cannot be countered by the strength of the skill after all.
Boom! Tina's dagger stop! Slashed at the near-transparent barrier!
"It's useless to be fast, little Tina."
Boom! Gu Wu waved his arm horizontally, and the wind pressure pressed Tina to the ground, making it impossible for her to resist.
"Hmm——!"
"As I said, you don't have a chance of winning."
"Damn...... Why...... ...... just now"
"So be it."
Quickly lifting the restrictions on Tina, Gu Wu took a few steps back, and he raised his hands and said
"Retreat, and leave your master, for that is not the future you are looking forward to."
"Who the hell are you?"
"That's all for today."
Gu Wu, who was about to leave, remembered something.
"That's right."
“——!”
Gu Wu, who turned around, aroused Tina's vigilance, but Gu Wu continued to fight with her.
"This is a meeting gift, right, the candy they gave me in Kasumigaoka, I just found out that it is still in my pocket, children like to eat this, right?"
Gu Wu, who had sent the candy over with his ability, saw that Tina had no intention of accepting it, so he put it on the pile of wood on the side.
"That's it, there will be a date later."
With that, Gu Wu jumped from the top of the building.
When Tina's eyes widened and she looked over, she saw Gu Wu rising into the air from below and flying into the distance.
"Really...... Humans? ”
Tina said, her gaze falling on half a palm-sized piece of candy......
————
"You can't be an initiator, you don't look like a promoter, so that's where that power comes from? Change...... Remodel? ”
Walking through the streets, the Son of Heaven came to a safe place under Altair's cover, and after making sure that there were no enemies around, she asked her own questions.
It is believed that whether in the eyes of the Son of Heaven or in the eyes of others, Altaïr and Gu Wu, who possess abnormal powers, are outliers, not ordinary human beings.
Altair, who was looking at the night sky, waited for Gu Wu to come back, and she replied casually without going to her destination in advance
"This power comes from cognition, can you understand that?"
"Cognitive ......? What does that mean......"
"So you can't understand it, do you?"
Altaïr withdrew her gaze, and she looked at her hands.
She moved her hands very much to thank Shimazaki for everything she had given herself, and also thanked those who added skill settings to herself, if it wasn't for Gu Wuzai, she thought she would have gone to the worst end.
Even if it wasn't the end, I wouldn't have the life I have now.
In order to complete the mission and better assist Gu Wu, Altaïr still intends to continue with his previous plan.
"Your enemy has already sent men to attack you, and even then you don't have a clue?"
"I don't know...... I think they just haven't understood my thoughts yet, that's why they're so extreme......"
"What do you think? Referring to naïve ideas? ”
Altaïr turned, and she looked straight at the Son of Heaven.
"You are gentle with the world, but the world will not be gentle with you."
"Indeed, though I want to believe in the goodness of men, I cannot stop the chain of hatred, but is it possible to behave in the same way as those people? I just ......"
Probably the girl in front of her is seeking a balance point, a balance point that will make the world peaceful.
Although Altaïr heard some information from Gu Wu, he did not fully understand this world, and in his opinion, it was no different from other worlds.
It has nothing to do with the so-called protozoa, the human species itself is quite cruel.
"There's nothing more to say, Holy Son of Heaven, Gu Wu and I will protect you."
After saying this, Altaïr looked at the passage behind the Holy Son of Heaven.
"It's time for us to get out of here."
Gu Wu, who came out of the alley, waved his hand and successfully converged.
————
The trio chose to take a taxi to their destination.
Gu Wu sat alone in the front seat, and at this time he was asked by Altair
"Did you kill it?"
"Pretty much."
The driver who heard the conversation on the side showed a subtle expression, but did not say anything more, but continued to drive quietly.
But the Saint Heavenly Son in the back seat was different, she focused her eyes on Gu Wu, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Twelve o'clock is coming."
Gu Wu, who was reminded by Altair, looked at the time, it is true, today is about to end, and Gu Wu's ability will disappear because of this, and enter the cooldown time of the day.
However, even with a one-day cooldown, powerful artists can still be summoned.
Even if you have a 10-second limit, you can take down all the enemies and monsters in this world in 10 seconds.
After about five minutes, the Son of Heaven asked the driver to stop, so Gu Wu got out of the car first, and Altaïr accompanied the Son of Heaven to leave the taxi and walk to a luxury hotel on the side of the street.
Because of the relationship that the Son of Heaven had made an appointment, coupled with her identity, she simply got two rooms.
One room is Altaïr and the Son of Heaven, and the other is Gu Wu's.
"Looks like Mr. Howaki hasn't come over yet, okay?"
"That kind of person can't die for a while."
Seeing that the Son of Heaven was worried about that annoying guard officer, Gu Wu perfunctorily reminded her to rest, after all, she had to have a meeting here tomorrow.
Taking the elevator to the thirtieth floor, Gu Wu grabbed Altair before parting with them.
"Maybe the attack will come, and I'll leave it to you then, Miss Altair."
"Of course, you don't necessarily come in handy at the moment."
"Really? On the premise that there is no impact, it is still no problem to deal with the enemy. ”
The Son of Heaven in front of him opened the door and entered, and Altaïr followed him into the room after saying a wordless farewell.
Gu Wu also opened the door of his room, and he turned on the TV while lying on the bed.
Just as the TV stopped on the news channel, the host was talking about the various events that happened today.
[As I saw just now, a convoy was attacked by terrorist forces, and it was said to be the convoy of the Holy Son of Heaven. 】
It seems that this trip is hidden from many people.
[Another piece of news is that the cause of the clogged sewer has recently been investigated, and it is...... The corpses of a group of 'cursed children'. 】
Misfortune happens from time to time, and it is even more common in this world.
"It's horrible."
Gu Wu closed his eyes and began to rest......
