Body 103. Frontal Deathmatch
Sleepers generally don't turn into people you know because they're too easy to get suspicious.
Sleepers generally do not turn out to be the ones who act with their companions in the first place, and those who act alone are the most suspicious.
The power of the lurker itself is limited, and its main power will be used for the battle for the mainnet, and there will not be too much power left to deal with the assessors...... Although it still needs to be dealt with with with all its might.
Despite possessing unimaginable technology and power from the earthlings, in this assessment site, which is jointly monitored by the Ahmeds and the Buttermins, the lurker must be careful not to be caught, and it must control its own movements, which is the greatest advantage we have once it clashes head-on with the main consciousness of the lurker.
ββ¦β¦ Still, conflict with the main consciousness itself means the greatest challenge. Zhao Yu softly read out the last sentence of Gabriel's various instructions in his memory, "Only we, me or you, can hope to defeat it." β
This is the information that Gabriel said one after another more than half an hour ago, in the interval between the frantic strafing of the black RD20 - he was not confessing his last words during that time.
"Defeat me?" The thin young man in front of Zhao Yu showed a weird smile, "Very confident." β
In the end, it was determined that this young Pasteur, who initially seemed harmless to humans and animals, was the lurker, thanks to the warning in his brain that never subsided. This warning started from reaching the second layer, and during this time, whether it was solving two RD20s or repelling the Woodsaw Corps, it could not be weakened by half a point, and now, this warning has finally made the direction clear.
It's this boy standing on the long bridge that is about to collapse, and he looks no different from an ordinary middle school student.
"I'm going to correct one thing, the real Pasteur is dead." "Pasteur" said, "I got to the second floor ahead of schedule and then killed Pasteur and ...... Well, Hubert, Pasteur was chosen because he looked more harmless, but it was a bit of a shame that he was still discovered. β
"Is it important to look like something? Isn't it okay for you to change it casually? Zhao Yu suddenly raised his eyebrows when he said this, "It seems that there are limits to your transformation - at least here, right?" Otherwise, you could have turned into a big man and killed us a long time ago, instead of continuing to maintain this form? β
Pasteur took two steps forward: "Yes, there are limits, but not as big as you think-"
Before the words fell, his arm suddenly stretched out several times, stabbing at Zhao Yu with lightning speed, Zhao Yu almost dodged the blow at the last moment, but his hands were still cut through two deep cuts, and blood flowed: "Don't just make your hands longer!" Did you eat a rubber devil fruit! No, you're a parasitic beast, aren't you......?"
"I'm not a comic book character." Pasteur moved his bladed arm, "Don't confuse me with the imaginary creatures of the earthlings. β
ββ¦β¦ You even know that? Zhao Yu's face was wrong, "When did you arrive on Earth?" β
"Earth Time, 2013." Pasteur replied as he continued to attack, "I was still in the Middle East at that time, and the earthlings there seemed to be very easy to incite, and in just a few months, a leader announced that he would rebuild the country of his dreams. β
Zhao Yu immediately remembered a notorious name of his time: "You are still controlling a terrorist organization behind your back?!" β
"It's only for a while, and then it's their own development, and it's amazing how much the earthlings have grown in this regard." Pasteur kicked Zhao Yu and kicked him back several meters, "Oh, it seems that I said a little too much, don't worry, I have been on Earth for more than a hundred years, and I have modified some of my habits in order to blend in with your group." β
"That's so thoughtful!" Zhao Yu helped Christine behind him, "And now, you don't plan to continue lurking?" β
"The road to the waypoint has been broken, as long as you two are killed, the earth will be eliminated, my mission will be completed, and I certainly don't have to continue to lurk." Pasteur punched again, and was narrowly dodged by Zhao Yu, "Die here, two, your race is not qualified to go to space, and the star cluster you belong to is not qualified to go to the new universe, this is destined from the beginning!" β
"Christine, can you still move?" Zhao Yu asked his companion in a low voice, and the Latin girl frowned and replied in a low voice: "It's okay to barely climb to the bridge, just twenty or thirty meters...... You don't want me to go to the waypoint, do you? β
"yes, questions?"
"Damn, Zhao Yu...... Don't throw this responsibility on women! β
"I always thought you were sticking to the principle of equality between men and women."
"I was meant to be ...... But I'm not good at it! β
"No one is good at deciding the fate of all mankind!" Zhao Yu replied, "But someone has to do it, if I leave here, that guy will definitely kill you in three seconds and continue to interfere with me...... Rather than this, why don't I cover up, at least I can buy you time! β
"Three seconds...... You really think of me. Christine smiled bitterly and stood up holding Zhao Yu's arm hard, "Zhao Yu ...... Don't die until I get to the waypoint! β
"Oh, got it." Zhao Yu smiled, "If I die, you won't be able to enter." β
"Also, I'm slow."
Zhao Yu patted her shoulder lightly: "I know - you go, I'm here!" β
Christine stopped talking, and she held on to the guardrail of the long bridge and walked to the bridge with difficulty, blood pouring from the wound on her waist, soaking through her pants and leaving one bloody footprint after another on the ground.
Zhao Yu took a deep breath and looked at Pasteur who was standing opposite. By this time, the broken opening had recovered on its own, the wind had subsided, and even the collapse of the long bridge had stopped.
Pasteur never made any movement during their conversation.
"What a surprise, you didn't stop us."
Hearing this, Pasteur disagreed: "I want to try to avoid unnecessary consumption, not to mention that the person who is in a hurry is you and not me, why should I stop you from consuming time by talking over there?" And your companion walks slowly, which is equally good for me. β
Zhao Yu snorted: "It seems that all of us are very satisfied with this situation, which is really rare." β
"But that's it for now." Pasteur replied, "I know you're still babbling to buy time for your companions, but for the sake of prudence, I'm not going to dwell on it anymoreβ"
The last sentence he uttered in a straight line!
Zhao Yu dodged this assault and kicked Pasteur hard, fortunately Pasteur's body did not become something inexplicable, this kick was very solid, Pasteur took a few steps back, Zhao Yu took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, he now has amazing speed and reaction, and barely proficient fighting skills, ordinary people can fight a bunch at a time, even the gray wolf can be dealt with, after Gabriel disappeared, he is definitely the most capable person on the earth, but Pasteur's speed is on par with him, After a dizzying array of attacks, the end result was a few more wounds on Zhao Yu's body, and Pasteur just made a clicking sound in his neck, re-straightening the cervical vertebra that he had just been crooked by Zhao Yu - if that thing was called a cervical vertebrae.
"It's a little quicker than I expected, it seems that when you and Gabriel fought the RD20, it wasn't him who helped you, but a reflection of your own strength." Pasteur said, "Compared to ordinary earthlings, you are indeed much stronger, no wonder you have such self-confidence." β
"You're much more resilient than I thought." Zhao Yu shook his hand, and the blood on the wound threw a string of blood beads on the ground.
"But you're not the same as Gabriel, you're not a robot." The blood on Pasteur's knife quickly disappeared, "Butβoh, there is no difference between the body cells and the structure of ordinary earthlings, could it be the result of the transformation of some secret base?" Forget it, it doesn't matter, you should be able to cut your head off. β
This time, Pasteur launched a more fierce offensive, Zhao Yu could clearly feel that the opponent's speed was getting faster and faster, this scene was more oppressive and desperate than when he first fought with the gray wolf, and he barely managed to get out several times, but there were inevitably new wounds on his neck and shoulders.
In the next attack, Pasteur's hand knife finally pierced Zhao Yu's right chest, and the huge impact pushed him backwards, and Zhao Yu flew out for a full ten meters and fell heavily in front of Christine.
"Zhao Yu!" Christine couldn't suppress her horror, but Zhao Yu covered her right chest and got up again, nodding at her: "Don't be afraid, I'm okay." β
"It's okay to say anything! You've got it all! β
"Don't forget I'm more durable than you." Zhao Yu walked over to Pasteur with difficulty, "Hurry up...... Let's go, Christine! β
Pasteur showed an appreciative expression: "Do you know what my favorite earthling expression is?" It's the expression of you who persevered until the end, but was finally defeated by the realistic ending. β
"Sounds ...... How many times have you done this? Zhao Yu took a few breaths, "You've been doing it a lot in the past hundred years, right?" β
"Fourteen times." Pasteur replied, "Without exception, when the parties learned the truth at the end of their lives, and learned that what they had been working for was in fact only the wrong direction that they had been led to, their reactions were almost the same, and I reproduced each scene, which could be repeated from any angle and moment, and could also change some settings, even if I left the earth, these scenes were enough for me to take as good memories of my journey." β
"Leaving Earth?" Zhao Yu sneered, "Do you think you can still leave the earth?" β
"Kill you!" Pasteur said that he stabbed with another hand knife, and the speed was as fast as before, but this time, Zhao Yu dragged his injured body and dodged it, and took advantage of the situation to give Pasteur a heavy blow to the head!
Pasteur shook for a moment, Zhao Yu followed and pounced mercilessly, although his right hand was basically useless, he could still accurately dodge Pasteur's counterattack, and make up a fatal punch in time, but unfortunately this "enough to kill" is for earthlings, Pasteur is only two steps back at best.
"Foresight" - Zhao Yu's ability to appear only after suffering a heavy blow, and being able to foresee the enemy's actions after half a second to a second, played a role that can be called a miracle in this tense attack and defense!
But just when Zhao Yu felt that he could attack to the end in such a single go, a huge sense of crisis suddenly struck, and bright red instantly filled the entire field of vision, making him almost have no time to think, and only reflexively retreated a few steps!
Pasteur has turned black entirely.
"Amazing intuition, which could have eroded success half a second later." Pasteur was slightly regretful, "It seems that you have a power similar to 'prediction', which is rare in the entire universe. β
Zhao Yu snorted and did not answer.
Now things are getting really bad...... If it's the same "erosion" mode as the previous RD20, then you can't even contact each other at all, and you'll be beaten!
"But in the face of absolute power, it's not enough to be able to predict the future." The black Pasteur walked slowly, "For example, now, all you can predict is your own fate of death in endless darkness. β
Zhao Yu swallowed his saliva: "This prediction of yours is really confident!" β
"No, it's not a prediction, it's youβthe two of you, the path that your Earth civilization has been destined for!" Pasteur finally completely lost his human form, and turned into an overwhelming black net to cover Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu had nowhere to escape, "Usher in the end in the dark, this is your final ending!" β
"Zhao Yuβ" In Christine's lost scream, Zhao Yu was completely enveloped in darkness.

I'm going out tonight, so I'm going to change it first. Tomorrow's finale!
