Chapter 19: Brothers
N's calculations were soon shattered by reality.
Because those thin black cones emitted by Darkwater did not disappear or lose control after the attack missed, they immediately "returned" back to Darkwater's body after the first round of attacks, and melted back into Darkwater's body the moment they touched Darkwater's body.
This operation not only makes the attack of Dark Water more complex and difficult to avoid, but also creates a kind of cycle; It's like a bullet fired by a person with a gun that can be sucked back into the gun whenever and wherever he wants, and can still cause damage to the place he passes as he flies back.
In such a situation, let alone attack, I am afraid that it may not be possible to ensure that I don't die.
"Not good...... Four minutes had passed, and his stamina and other stats had not been depleted, and he had not shown any specific habits or flaws...... This monster is simply an impeccable killing perpetual motion machine. ”
"Huh...... Looks like you've got a pretty tricky guy to do it. ”
"You! How did you ......"
"At least one thing he's right, you don't know as much as you think."
"If you have a fart, I don't have the strength to intrigue with you now."
"Ah, don't worry, I'm not going to tease you at such a time, after all...... If you die, I'll be done too; I'll just get it straight, in fact, every time you open the 'math world', I get awakened, and the reason why I haven't exposed this is because I think I can use this against you one day, but I didn't expect it...... You've been cornered in a place like this, and now I'm the only one who can save you. ”
"So...... Do you want to work with me? ”
"That's right, only if we join forces can we defeat this guy."
"It's kind of ironic that the words 'join forces' come out of your mouth."
"What? Do you have to be against you for you to get used to? ”
"I'm supposed to ask you this question, right?"
"Well, we've had this conversation countless times, and it doesn't make much sense. In this time of life and death, do you still want to cling to those senseless contradictions and resentments between us? I'm saving you right now. ”
"You're trying to save yourself."
"Huh...... It's all the same, who made us ...... What about brothers. ”
The above conversations were not "heard" by Dark Water, because these words were not "spoken" in the first place, they only existed in N's brain.
I'm sure you've all guessed here, that's right, there is a little-known secret in the body of this king of agents - there are two people in his body.
Note that it's "two people", not "two personalities".
N was a child born in the war, and for various reasons, his father was unknown, and her mother did not have a prenatal check-up throughout her pregnancy, until she was about to give birth, when she realized that she was in the womb with conjoined twins; However, with the local medical conditions at the time, N's mother could not have completed a normal delivery, the same ...... There was also no condition for her to have a normal C-section.
In the end, the great mother's love overcame the fear of death, and she gave up her life in a very cruel way, leaving the chance of life to her two children.
N and his brother "Z" were born under such circumstances.
When they were born, they looked like a "Xi" character, their torsos and heads overlapped, the two of them shared a "one and a half" brains, each had a lobe and a kidney, and shared a common lobe and a common kidney, and one of the spleens and the liver of the other were glued together in a strange way, forming a medically difficult to define composite organ.
There is no doubt that the probability of a baby like this surviving, even in a well-equipped hospital, is very low, and it can even be said that every second that they are still breathing is a medical miracle.
But they survived......
They survived in an unsanitary underground rebel facility, on the help of rice cereal made from rations saved by some well-meaning soldiers.
What's even more bizarre is that in less than two years after birth, the two brothers' bodies are more and more connected, like two shadows slowly overlapping...... By the time they were eighteen months old, they had become "one person."
Since then, N has indeed been a "person" physiologically, but in fact, he is an unscientific being similar to "Veget".
He and his brother "Z", I don't know what principle they are based on, devoured each other's bodies in the process of growing up, and achieved "merger".
But the relationship between the two brothers is not very harmonious, because after the "merger", for some reason, N gained priority control of this body; That is, in the vast majority of cases, Z can only come out and move if N agrees...... In this way, it is equivalent to Z's entire life being taken away by N.
Of course, Z is not completely out of the woods, and before adulthood, he can often take advantage of N to temporarily take control of his body when he is asleep, overtired, or unconscious.
Because Z has very little "time", he will seize every second to have fun every time he comes out, do a lot of arbitrary things, and then leave the mess to N to deal with...... Z thinks it's also a matter of course, in his words – "Who let you take up most of my life?" ”
And N also went through a lot of meditation and mental training in order to prevent Z from ruining their lives together, so as to avoid the situation of passively losing control of his body, but at the same time, N does not want to eliminate Z, he only hopes that one day he can change Z, find a way for the two to coexist in harmony, and compensate for Z's lost time as much as possible.
N and Z are such a peculiar pair of brothers: they hate each other, but they can't be separated, they understand each other, but neither of them wants to back down.
If left unchecked, maybe one day they will stage a fratricidal tragedy, but now, in the face of the threat to their lives brought by the dark water, they also have to put aside their grievances and join forces to fight the enemy.
"Well, it looks like we all have no choice." N is a very rational person, and he didn't dwell on it for too long, so he agreed to Z's proposal.
"Hmph...... So, from now on, you can devote all your mind to 'predicting the future', and leave the 'how to fight' part to me. Z was not polite to his brother and immediately took over control of his body.
At this moment, N, who had been hit with a lot of wounds and gradually fell into decline, suddenly changed his body.
Instead of just dodging and moving with some of the most basic instinctive moves, he began to use his body and various movement skills more efficiently, easily and smoothly through the continuous attacks of the dark water, and took the initiative to rush towards the dark water for the first time in this fight.
Darkwater also noticed this change in his opponent for the first time, and he immediately stopped the long-range attack that had lost its meaning, retracted all the body parts that had been shot, and changed his stance, raising his hand to catch it, just in time to meet the opponent's right fist.
Bang –
When the fists touched, there was a loud sound.
The burst of air was released, pushing away the smoke and dust around the two of them.
"You seem to have doubled the efficiency of your brain." Dark Water calmly blocked the attack, didn't retreat even a step, and said this in his cold tone.
Bang bang bang –
N and Z didn't mean to answer at all, and before their right fists were fully withdrawn, they slid to the left, made a sideways variation, and threw a finger of the gun with their left hand, and fired three more shots at Darkwater's head at close range.
N's gun is obviously not a mass-produced ordinary product, the gun and bullet he uses are made of net alloy, if this bullet hits an ordinary person, the other party is fierce and it is impossible to get out.
The dark water was shot in the head by this shot just now, and naturally it was not spared at this time, and its neck and above were once again scattered into liquid.
But Z's attack was far from over, as he fired another shot aimed at Darkwater's chest, making a hole, and at the same time, his right hand pulled out a plasma grenade from his belt, pulled the latch open, and stuffed it into Darkwater's chest.
Between the lightning and the fire, Z completed this series of actions, and stepped on the ground and flipped back, jumped into the air, jumped out of the range of action of the "enhanced plasma thunder", and sneered at the entire body of the dark water from a high place was swept into the electric tide visible to the naked eye.
"Sure enough...... If we join forces, even such a monster will be vulnerable. Z said this proudly in his heart, and grabbed the collar on his left side with his right hand, and pulled it with a force that would obviously tear his clothes.
However, in the next second, the suit on his body was not torn, but turned into a substance like "quicksand", which "flowed" from the surface of his body, gathered into his hand, and quickly condensed into a metallic sphere.
"Don't let your guard down, give him the final blow with the collapse cannon, and then be proud when you're sure you've been killed." And when N mentally responds to Z's words, Z has already covered the "nanometal ball" on his right hand to the gun he holds in his left hand.
In a matter of seconds, the nano-metal particles merged with the pure alloy pistol under the magnetic induction, turning them into a cannon-style jet weapon worn directly on the arm.
Meanwhile, the dark water in the distance was still struggling in the gushing plasma, and it didn't seem to show the slightest sign of breaking free.
At this moment, N, who had been firmly grounded, seemed to have seen the scene of the dark water being hit by the collapse cannon in the "future" he predicted, and Z, who also received this information, also aimed at the dark water at this time, and launched the collapse cannon perfectly according to the "future" presented by N......
