Chapter 168: The Seekers of the Night (Part II)

Unexpectedly, the typhoon that passed by before showed signs of returning, and the thick clouds and humid air overhead just proved this suspicion, indicating that a heavy rain was coming.

Due to the increase in humidity, the dust floating in the air began to fall, and some watermarks appeared on the originally dry land, and there was no doubt that the drizzle as a prelude would fall early, and it was believed that it would not be long before the boss behind it appeared.

Today's wind is not only noisy, but even violent to the extent that it makes people feel violent, most likely due to the collapse of buildings and the burning of houses in various places, and the dense streets have turned into ruins, so that the wind can easily pass through, whimpering and shouting.

His clothes were gradually wet, and Gu Wu, who relied on his ability to move to the roof of the building again, looked everywhere, and the sound of the rain became denser and denser, but this cold rain made Gu Wu completely calm down.

His dealings with the other party are based on two factors: 'justice' and 'profit'.

First of all, Gu Wu doesn't want the entire world's armies to be involved, since this is the case, he must give his actions a 'righteous name', not long ago Gu Wu said that he would not play the role of a messenger of justice, but now is a good opportunity.

The second is the issue of interests, in the final analysis, those troops who came here to support are all to 'catch superpowers', after all, Gu Wu's traversers are like aliens, they have high research value, and once they are discovered, they may change the status of the entire country.

The world is so real, saving others, helping others, giving to others, these are all based on interests, and there are few good people who are really willing to pay, and Gu Wu respects such people from the bottom of his heart.

The light rain that preceded the rainstorm seemed to have made the world a lot quieter, because it appeared, and directly covered the other noisy sounds with the sound of rain.

That being said, the fighting clashes that erupted in the distance were clearly audible, at least every once in a while explosions and collisions were heard, and they looked extremely intense.

Exhaling heavily, the wind blowing from the eaves under his feet took away the sound of his breath and blew it into the distance, which made Gu Wu's gaze move with it.

This sleepless night always seems to be gloomy, as if it can swallow up passers-by walking in the night, even if you can see the light in front of you, there is still a feeling of being alone and helpless.

Focusing on reality, this is a world where a grain of sand can destroy a strong will, which means that the slightest action of others can affect one's own future, just like the current mission participants and the system that issues them.

[Responding to the host and treating us as wicked people is a bit unacceptable to the system.] 】

"You're out again, did you bring useful information this time? Or do you simply come out and refute me? ”

[In response to the host, our system's position is completely different from what you imagined, please understand; As for the information you just mentioned, it is still the same sentence as before, don't trust others. 】

Isn't that nonsense?

Gu Wu, who thought of this, heard the praise of the system.

[In response to the host, what you did before was really good enough, relying on the means of sacrificing others to prove your 'justice', on the one hand, you can play a peaceful role, on the other hand, you can buy time, and you don't have to pay any price on your side.] 】

Praise is praise, but Gu Wu thinks that since the system has what he thinks in his heart, then it also knows Gu Wu's next plan. 、

[In response to the host, your plan to 'save the world' is really special enough, and the system has never thought of such a way in the past...... In the documented information, none of the previous hosts used a similar operation, and you ...... I actually want to rely on 'saving others' to complete the task, which should be the task of 'defeating others'. 】

"Anything is possible, isn't that the world we live in?"

Because the time-traveler will change the plot, turning left into right and right into left, just like the alchemist who was recognized as a heretic by the church in the past, what seems to be a demonic way is actually traceable, not groundless.

That's why Gu Wu thought of imitating the alchemist's 'turning stones into gold' and replacing 'defeat' with 'save'.

It's not impossible to choose 'defeat' directly, the problem is that the next battle will involve the world, not to mention that Gascoll has the skill of 'erasing mistakes', which must be a bit tricky to deal with.

In addition, there is another point, I believe that not only him, Kaneki and Alan must have this idea, that is, to reduce casualties.

For the sake of one's own victory, the sacrifice of others is necessary, but if you can reduce the sacrifice, then you should try to do it.

At this time, Gu Wu would not say anything about 'empathy', after all, even if he empathized, he couldn't understand the other party, so he just had to complete his own work.

"Look ahead, it's a familiar battlefield, what is it for your system?"

[Responding to the host, what do you think of the game?] 】

"It depends on whether it's a competitive game or a single-player game, after all, if you fight someone, you want to win no matter what, right? Of course, failure is inevitable, but the desire to win will be stronger. ”

[Respond to the host, but that's just a game after all, isn't it?] 】

"If you're not from that field, it's really 'just a game.'"

Obviously, that's the answer the system is going to say.

The system doesn't care who the real winner is, as long as everything can go on.

[In response to the host, from a personal point of view, the system hopes that the host can win, and the previous host also expects it.] 】

"You're really nostalgic for your last host."

[In response to the host, of course, because the previous host failed.] 】

Unlike the rules of human society, it is not the winners who will be remembered, but the losers who will be remembered.

[In response to the host, I don't want to remember the host clearly.] 】

Really......

Regardless of whether the system came from the heart or not, Gu Wu didn't choose to dig deeper, and after confirming the space in front of him, he jumped off the building.

The hundred-meter-tall building had a strong wind current, and Gu Wu, who was shuttling through it, quickly changed the trajectory of his fall, gradually rising, and then swept across the sky above the ruins, and quickly shortened the distance to the target in the distance.

This direction is not the direction in which they converge with AltaΓ―r, but the direction in which Alan follows Gascoll and them.

The reason couldn't be simpler, AltaΓ―r's team had Frieza, Alice and Kaneki, and even if Frieza didn't listen to the command, the rest of the people were strong enough, so Gu Wu decided to go there to help.

Allen's strength is very strong, and the giant's attack ability and crystallization ability are excellent, but this ability also has obvious weaknesses.

The target is too big and easy to attack, even if the regeneration ability is very strong, it is also limited, and the energy is not enough to support his unlimited regeneration;

The most important one is the 'Giant's Neck' in the setting, which can be predicted if the enemy realizes that the damage is most effective in that position.

Can't let Eren die, Gu Wu, who was thinking like this, increased his speed and lowered his height, and the city that was ignited by the fire in his vision gradually enlarged.

The fleeing residents are like ants, carrying flashlights and torches to move around, but the heavy rain is coming, and the rest of the evacuation will be quite difficult.

But if Gu Wu's plan succeeded, these people would definitely be able to get good assistance.

"It's coming soon......"

Gu Wu, who was talking to himself, suddenly felt the gravity increase, and something like a floating cannon appeared on both sides.

"Attack?"

Not a big problem.

Barriers are formed, and the line of sight wanders, searching for the enemy's position.

In this battle, Gu Wu didn't want to waste more than ten seconds of time.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Time is money.

When it comes to the battlefield, time is no longer money, but everything.

Time to react, time to attack, time to dodge, only those who know how to use these times can win in a fierce battle.

At this moment, Hiiragi is thinking about how to grasp the exact time and inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

After all, it is impossible to use the power of Hiiragi in a short period of time and unlimited times, and excessive waste of ability and spirit will increase pressure on yourself.

The thinking is not over, but Qiqi Hiiragi saw the giant attacking head-on at this moment! So he coped!

Calm down, the attribute sword qi attached to the blade was switched to 'weaken' and 'offset', so the moment the giant stepped out, he then took a small step to the side of his left hand, and the blade was quickly placed horizontally to dissolve it, and his arms were under the weight of the weakened, and he could clearly see the giant's right foot landing along the tip of the knife, stepping heavily on the ground, at this moment the air flow was running, the wind was howling, and the hem of his clothes was hunting.

The battle continued, and then Hiiragi raised his blade and slashed diagonally downward, bouncing the giant's second kick directly in the direction of the slash!

The successive dissolutions did not make the giant lose his balance, and the tall giant made a third combo with his fists clenched after stepping on his feet in turn.

The giant's crystallized fist smashed into the ground, only to see the knife light burst out because of the high-speed friction before landing, and the giant's attack trajectory was forcibly changed again, because it was a bending down smash, so this time the giant lost his balance.

Now is the timeβ€”β€”!!

The purpose of using the blade to resist the giant is not to show how strong you are, but to find the enemy's flaws at close range, and to slash before the enemy completely covers the body with crystals!

In the face of the downed giant, the seven hiiragi who was in the chest position at this moment stepped forward and attacked, and slashed out with the blade he held in both hands.

The giant did not always cover the abdomen area with thick crystals in order to facilitate the movement of bending over, so the abdomen was cut open by the enemy's horizontal slash!

Fortunately, there are crystallized shells on both sides, which can be regarded as blocking the momentum of the blade to cut off the giant, but even so, the damage should not be underestimated.

A large amount of steam swelled at this moment, and the slashed Hiiragi didn't give up, because he was going to cut off his head because he was going around behind the giant at the moment.

However, Hiiragi, who was moving at high speed, noticed that no matter what was appropriate, the enemy's back area, especially the back of the head to the shoulders, and the entire neck were covered by a crystalline shell, could it be said that there was a weak point?

No...... After all, even if the whole process is crystallized there, it doesn't matter what, not to mention that in order to prevent the head from being cut off, it is natural to protect the place.

That's right, but Nanachi Hiiragi will attack the back of the enemy's neck area with all his strength this time.

"You have to ...... it quickly"

He didn't want to waste any more time, after all, on the other side, Anasta was also fighting, he didn't want that partner to die like this, she was still very valuable.

"Roaring β€”β€”!!"

The giant roared, ignoring the wound emitting high-temperature steam from his abdomen, and directly twisted his body and rushed towards Qiqi Hiiragi.

For humans, giants are actually very fast, but from the senses, they are very slow to wave their arms, not to mention that Hiiragi can move more flexibly.

Putting on the posture of Iai slashing again, the blade of Qiqi Hiiragi was entangled by the sword qi, releasing a huge 'impact'!

Bang Dong β€”β€”!!

The earth was trampled on, and the giant jumped straight up!

It's the first time I've seen it, and it's ......

"Gone ......"

The sword qi blow released by Qiqi Hiiragi missed, and the giant who jumped into the air disappeared at the same time, leaving only the steam that was gradually dispersed by the drizzle.

Whewβ€”β€”!!

The air vibrated and from the steam-covered field, a hand reached out! It's the giant's arm!

"You just canceled the ability ......?"

Hiiragi was stupid for his sluggishness, after all, that was the best time to attack.

But maybe it's not too late!

Hit the past head-on! Holding a knife in one hand, Nanachi Hiiragi split the giant arm in front of him in two! Broke into steam!

"What......?"

The enemy did cancel the ability, and instead protected the enemy's crystal, and the powerful sword of Shichichi Hiiragi was directly bounced off.

Troublesome!

Second!

Thinking of this, Hiiragi opened his eyes when he saw the person inside the crystal!

The next moment, the gas expanded, and the high-temperature steam engulfed the Qiqi Hiiragi that could not be relayed in the air, and the area shattered under this impact, and the terrifying power spread!

He used the blade of his sword to cut a part of the impact, but Nanachi Hiiragi, who was still out of balance, was hit by a punch from the front of the giant!

The crystallized fist hit head-on, and Hiiragi, who was trying to resist, still smashed to the ground, and a pain made him cough up blood.

Nice plan.

Hiiragi was impressed, but he quickly stood up.

It's just one time.

"Your flaws...... I...... Found ......"

When he was hit, Nanachi Hiiragi realized the enemy's flaws.

It should have been a flaw that was discovered a long time ago, but I didn't remember it until now.

The giantized enemy apparently ignored it and continued to attack from the front.

"My blade...... It's not just a slash ......"

Seven Hiiragi had previously cut open the giant's abdomen, and had just been hit by a punch from the giant, and during this time, his enchanted attacks were close to the shell to resist, so he had to abandon the way he had been fighting.

"The power of the blowβ€”"

It is also vibration and collision.

Seven Hiiragi turned the blade and turned his back to the giant!
