Chapter 14: Strong-willed
Holding the cold scalpel, Meng Chen tried to use it several times to make a small cut in Ishida Shuo's carotid artery. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Imagining the scene of blood spurting out, Meng Chen unconsciously felt a trace of hideous pleasure rise in his heart. The sharp, glistening tip of the knife approached the steaming fat that had been stacked on top of each other, and then took it away again. After repeating this several times, Meng Chen finally threw the knife aside.
"No, I can't. There is a penalty for killing someone on the same team, and without their help, it may be difficult to complete the mission. ”
Meng Chen finally gave up this tempting idea and chose a painful, but sensible path.
The tsunami-like and intense headache was gradually subsided, and Meng Chen was able to calm down and think about the current situation.
"The effect of the sedatives seems to be slowly waning now. Why didn't such a powerful potion make me fall into the Lost Realm......"
Meng Chen touched his chin and thought to himself, "Before I woke up from my dream, I vaguely heard Daum say that I have a strong-willed soul characteristic. Speaking of which, after I completed the Matrix mission, I opened the first stage of the soul lock, which seems to have such an ability......"
Meng Chen called up the introduction of the soul lock, and saw that it was written: The soul lock is the first stage of the first stage, and the ability and will are firm.
It's such a simple sentence without any explanation for this ability. And being strong-willed is really a very subjective judgment. Therefore, Meng Chen did not pay attention to this ability at that time.
But judging now, it was this that led him to be able to return to the real world. The abilities honed in the world of The Matrix, in this mission, finally showed its unique charm.
Such a highly effective sedative could not pull Meng Chen into the Lost Domain, didn't that mean that he was not afraid of dying in the dream realm.
He was able to come and go in dreams!
"Hahaha! That's right, just come and go! Thinking about the characteristics of his soul, Meng Chen suddenly felt that he was almost invincible in the dream realm, and his mood was greatly happy.
He stood up and walked back and forth a few times with great ambition, then opened the door of the ward and looked out, and after making sure that his surroundings were safe, he lay back on the bed.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger! I'm going to dream again! ”
After inserting the sedative injection needle and feeling the slightest coolness on his arm, Meng Chen fell asleep again.
The place where he appears is neither on the beach where he entered the second layer of dreams, nor in the dead mountain forest, but where he returned to the playground of the first level of dreams.
Meng Chen was not in a hurry to leave, but looked around first.
The surroundings can be described as a miasma of smoke and ruins. The whole playground felt as if it had been hit by a terrible hurricane. The tall trees snapped at the waist, and the huge canopy raged on the lawn and left it devastated; The rides are scattered on the ground like blocks that have been knocked down by a naughty boy; In the beautiful pool, there are still red, faint remnants, from which locks of hair can be seen; The central citadel of the playground, where a huge fire is formed, from which a column of black smoke rises and soars for several kilometers.
The playground was completely destroyed, and the amusement facilities, green spaces, and landscapes were all destroyed. Only the jumping machine stood in the distance like a tower, and laughter could be heard from its vicinity......
Meng Chen didn't go over, he determined a direction from the broken wall, which was the direction of the hotel where they entered the dream realm on the second floor.
It was still far from the hotel, and Meng Chen had to stop.
Because...... The hotel is full of people! Like a human wall, there are countless people standing around the hotel in a circle, surrounding the hotel to death. All-round, airtight defense!
"I'm rubbing! What a way to play! Don't bring such a ......" Meng Chen looked at the crowd in front of him dumbfounded, unable to think of a way to enter.
"You have to find the bodies of Daum and the others. Finding their bodies allows me to delve further into their dreams. But with so many people, how do I get inside? Also, what about Hayama? Where is he, and will something happen to him? ”
"What should I do?" Meng Chen scanned the scene in front of him and couldn't find any loopholes.
Eventually, he gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. "It's not okay to wait stupidly! I'll poke a hornet's nest and try it! ”
A machine gun appeared in Meng Chen's hand, and he grinned and smiled: "The dream is so good!" ”
Tongues of fire erupted wildly, and the noise was loud. Like wheat harvesting, the crowd fell in pieces. But the waves are never something that a rock can resist. In front of Meng Chen's shot, the crowd pounced, but the two wings, which the bullets could not take care of, surrounded them like pockets.
Finding out about the situation, Meng Chen picked up the machine gun and turned around and ran.
The crowd on both wings overtook Meng Chen, and then turned around in front of him, like two gates about to be closed in front of Meng Chen.
"You can't overtake me!" Three times the physical strength of ordinary people was exerted, and Meng Chen ran wildly. He was about to escape from Ascension......
A red figure quickly flashed out of the crowd, and she quickly overtook everyone before blocking the gap that had not yet been closed.
Meng Chen stared at her body, plump body, long blond hair, and round eyes.
She's - Mel!
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.
Mel blocked in the middle of the gap, capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and Meng Chen shot directly at her.
The bullet screeched towards Mel, but was blocked by the crowd that rushed up at the end of their lives. It was in this short moment that the encirclement was officially formed. The bullets that flew out were as if they had sunk into the mud, and they didn't even splash a bit.
Meng Chen tried to target Mel, but her red figure was forever hiding behind the crowd. Occasionally, in a flash, except for wasting Meng Chen's bullets, not even a corner of his clothes was left for him.
Mel - the phantom, she really turned into a red phantom in the crowd, and this shock made Meng Chen at a loss.
The encirclement tightened more and more, and the red figure became more and more elusive. The raging crowd was sucking up his bullets, and the red phantom was wasting his bullets. Meng Chen's eyes widened and he couldn't find even the slightest clue, as the crowd quickly approached him, beads of sweat on his forehead, and his heavy breathing even overpowered the noise around him and the roar of the machine gun.
Shooting continuously, even if the weapon is conjured up in a dream, the barrel of the gun begins to heat up. "Don't worry about bullets, in dreams ammo is infinite, but will it malfunction?" Meng Chen's heart became more and more unsteady, and this feeling was gradually amplified.
Suddenly, the weapon in his hand made a "click, click" sound.
"Not good! Due to my will, doubts about the firearm appeared, and the weapon really malfunctioned. ”
Meng Chen was still trying to pull the trigger, "Hurry up!" I'm now convinced that you won't be out of trouble! Recover quickly! ”
But the machine gun made only a "click, click" sound.
