Matching Points [Enlightenment]

It is said that luck players can't go far, but if you rely solely on strength, can you really do all kinds of things? Can it really achieve all the goals?

And the phrases 'luck players can't go far' and 'strength is part of luck' are both quite famous, so which sentence is true and which is wrong?

From birth to the present, Hiiragi also thinks that he does not belong to the part of the 'luck player' or the part of the 'power player', but is a little awkward to be in between.

The reason is also quite simple, that is, Hiiragi also relied on luck to get this strange and powerful power, and then relied on learning a lot of combat skills and knowledge to gradually become stronger.

Luck combines strength, but neither of them is the absolute top, this is the current Nangong Hiiragi.

"I was also weak at the beginning, but fortunately, God favored me a little, so I owned these two weapons, although they look like revolvers, but in fact they are just images of them as existing in the real world, which can also be said to be dependent."

"Mr. Joel, is it really good to tell me this? Neither you nor your companions believed me. ”

"That's right, but since we've come this far, we don't have time to regret it, so we plan to fight with you."

The two of them were on the balcony on the second floor of the villa in the woods, and they were having a conversation.

After Hiiragi also established an alliance with Joel and them, he took them to the villa as a stronghold, and distributed the food and drinking water inside to Joel's companions, anyway, there was a big war next, and there was no need to continue hoarding food.

"Thank you very much for giving food to my companions, those guys are always clamoring for wine and meat, and now they're happy."

"Anyway, all the wine in the cellar has not been taken away by the owner of this villa, and I can drink it if I want, and my companion and I don't like to drink very much."

"Oh, then you're welcome, this red wine is really good. But I actually like spirits more, but because the supermarkets and distilleries in the neighborhood are almost destroyed, I can't find any spirits that are not damaged, such as whiskey and brandy. ”

After saying that, Joel hurriedly slapped his cheek lightly with his hand.

"It's not good, it's not good, it's swelling up by accident, obviously it's good to have wine to drink in this situation, oops, thank you so much."

"Nothing."

Hiiragi also glanced downstairs, unlike the guys who drank in the hall on the first floor, the three traversers in charge of patrolling were not allowed to drink, so each of them got the small inventory of canned beef in the villa.

Retracting his gaze, Hiiragi also said part of the information about his ability, which is the first step to understanding each other, after all, you need to fight together later, and it is impossible to hide all your ability information from your allies, right?

"In fact, if you summarize it, you will find that my ability is very simple, it is a simple time rewind, there is nothing to say, what does Mr. Joel just mention 'relying on'? Is the weapon relied on by evil spirits, gods, etc.? ”

"NONONO, just to make it easier to understand, to put it simply, my twin guns are not 'guns', but energy bodies, but in order to be better used, they will appear as 'guns'. If you think about it, if the energy body is just a simple energy body, it can't be seen and touched, and even if I can control it, it's not very convenient, so I let the energy body exist in the image of a 'firearm', so that I can easily use it for fighting, instead of relying on my consciousness to operate the energy body, understand? ”

"Well, I roughly understand, and I really have some special powers."

"I can't deny it, but it's precisely because of this strange power that I can get to where I am now, otherwise I would have been killed by those guys a long time ago."

Hiiragi also nodded, this cowboy-like man Joel has the ability to probably 'energy control' or something, in order to match his own fighting style, he turned the energy into a 'firearm' for his own convenience.

"However, I originally thought that Mr. Joel would have a lot of companions."

"Oh? Why? Do I have that much charisma? ”

Joel reclined in his chair, sipping cellar wine while lifting his legs on the balcony fence, joking and looking up at the night sky overhead.

Hiiragi also raised his head to look at the starry sky, the moon was much rounder than the moon I had seen a few days ago, and the sky was full of stars dotted with the sky that was originally full of gunsmoke and dust.

Picking up on what he had just said, Hiiragi continued

"I guessed at first that there would be a lot of travelers in this game, and all of them were only divided into ten groups, so at least there were thousands of travelers in one group, right? But now I have only seen a few hundred traversers, is there a lot less of them? ”

"Brother Nangong, what do you think, my idea is that tens of thousands of traversers were assigned to different planes to play the same game, and finally returned to the same plane for a decisive battle. Justification...... Isn't this festival 'game' a broadcast? If a large number of traversers are put in a game, I'm afraid there will be traversers who can't be photographed, so won't there be the main god of the traverser to protest? For this reason, in order to reduce the occurrence of this situation, each traverser is given a shot, so it will be divided into different planes. ”

"That makes sense...... Then, in addition to getting rid of the traverser who caused the tower event, we must also inform the surviving traversers in our world again, even if there are not many of them. ”

"That's right, if it really doesn't work, Brother Nangong, all of us can only fight on the spot, provided that we get rid of that bastard."

That bastard was the mastermind of the 'Tower Incident', a powerful traverser hiding in the shadows, and Hiiragi also intends to eliminate it now.

"By the way, Brother Nangong, your companion didn't once serve as the traverser's subordinate, so does that traverser have superpowers or magic? Or will it be something else. ”

"That's true, but they haven't seen that guy either, so I think we'll fight on the premise that he has a lot of power."

"I see, just wait and talk to those idiots, is there anything else I need to pay attention to? It's more convenient for the two of us to talk about it, and then relay it to others, after all, people are too talkative, and it's always easy to cause confusion. ”

With that, Joel took another sip of red wine and made a 'huha' sound, which seemed to like the taste of the wine.

As Joel said, Hiiragi also understands that what is needed now is not a democratic vote, but a 'king' who can stand up and lead the crowd forward, and if everything is asked for the consent of others, the plan will definitely be delayed for a long, long time, wasting precious time.

In this regard, Hiiragi is also thinking about whether he should tell Alice's ability as a killer weapon.

Among the many traversers, Hiiragi also feels that Alice's ability is the most special, and the ability to seal all the traversers within the range can be said to be an absolute blow to the adepts, and it is a blessing for those who are purely hand-to-hand combat.

Hiiragi also imagined that he would die within Alice's ability, would it be completely dead......

Or will reading the save not trigger when you are within Alice's ability, unless Alice disables her own ability, and the passive reading save will be triggered.

"One more thing, Mr. Joel, I have a companion named Alice, and she has the ability to erase the abilities of the traveler within a certain range."

"Oh? That's a terrifying existence for someone like me. ”

"Me too, but I think I can easily take out that Tower Incident Maker with her."

"I can't deny it, after all, that black flame doesn't look like an explosive that exists in the real world, so it's very likely that it's an alien ability."

What Hiiragi didn't tell Joel was that the black flame was an anomalous ability, after all, it was erased by Alice's ability.

"But there's a downside to that, if that Miss Alice uses her ability to cancel out the ability of our ability......"

"That's why we need to discuss, put those who are physically strong in Alice and Lilith's team, and we team up with the capable ones and act separately."

"It's a good practice, let them deal with the ability, let's deal with those guys who simply strengthen the body, this can definitely take advantage, but this also means that we need to cooperate well, after all, we don't know the other party's staffing and the number of ability, so we have to change the team composition all the time."

Hearing Joel's analysis, Hiiragi also fell into thought.

Hiiragi also knew that he had thought too perfectly about his plan, the enemy was definitely not stupid, how could he deliberately fight an enemy who knew that he would be disadvantaged, besides, it was not ruled out that those traversers who strengthened their physical abilities were very powerful.

"Let's rest for a while, let's go, I think the sooner you kill that traverser, the better."

"I see, Mr. Joel's side is fine, let's go."

"Of course, everyone can't wait to kill that guy to avenge his companion, by the way, do you want to drink some of this?"

"No need."

"Wine is a man's romance!"

"Mr. Joel, it's better for you to drink less, and you have to inform the others to drink less too, after all, the next battle is not a joke."

Hiiragi could turn back time and save them, but it was impossible to read the save as soon as someone was injured.

"Mr. Joel, my abilities are also limited in their use, if anyone is unlucky...... I can't save them all, even if I wanted to. ”

"Isn't it invincible that there is no limit to your abilities? Don't worry.,Since you'll participate in this game.,It's all people who come with the consciousness of death.,Those guys who want to mix up.,It's really better to abstain as soon as possible.,Although I don't know if you can abstain.,Haha.。 ”

After drinking the red wine in his hand, Joel stood up, picked up the hat that was placed on the table, and put it on.

"Well, Mr. Joel, how did you meet your companions?"

"You know, you've encountered four SSS-class robots at the same time."

"I see, common enemy......

Hiiragi muttered too, seeing Joel turn away from the balcony, he was going to inform his companion.

When he was alone, Hiiragi also lay lazily on the chair, relaxing his body, as if the bones in his body had softened.

"Mr. Nangong...... Are you done talking......? ”

The next moment, Lilith suddenly jumped from the roof above, feeling like a ninja lurking in the shadows, and Hiiragi was so frightened that she immediately sat up.

After seeing that it was Lilith, Hiiragi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly

"Almost, everyone is ready to become enlightened people."

"Mr. Nangong, isn't it......?"

Lilith, who jumped onto the balcony, floated beside her three self-disciplined daggers, slightly deflecting their blades as if in response to her mood.

"Of course, I came here when I was conscious, but sometimes I think it's stupid."

"What do you mean......?"

"Isn't the future of the traverser to constantly earn a living in the infinite world? Ours is here to change the future, so what's the point of doing it in the first place? Even though I hate the infinite world, I get a lot out of it. ”

There are good ones, and there are bad ones.

"What a strange idea."

The person who picked up Hiiragi's words was Alice with a glass of red wine, and Hiiragi didn't expect her to drink.

Lilith echoed Alice's words

"That's right...... I think so too...... Because I want to do it...... That's it......"

"Lilith you also misunderstood my words, I mean that there was no right action in the first place, and what you did was wrong for everyone else."

The girl who had been used all the time spoke cold words.

"So don't put your hopes in the future, just what to do now, how to live."

Alice used to be like that, she told herself that she could escape, that she could live.

Hearing the words of the two girls, Hiiragi also found that he had become stupid again at some point, and he was really embarrassed.

"Let's go."

Hearing the sound of discussion in the hall, Hiiragi also stood up from his position.

"Go kill that nasty guy."

It's just that it's because of that hateful traverser that Hiiragi and Lilith met Alice, which is a benefit......

…………

Late that night, after a short break, the alliance set out for the factory on the eastern outskirts of the city.

Everyone was about to find a high ground and a shelter point nearby, but on the flat ground six hundred meters away from the factory, the team walking in front was suddenly attacked by an explosion.

The loud bang completely disrupted the team, and Joel immediately signaled everyone to find a hiding point, so that those who had the ability to detect were responsible for finding out the situation, and the injured guy was handed over to Hiiragi to 'heal'.

Fortunately, there were only two people injured, one with both legs blown off and one with his left hand blown off.

"Sorry...... I thought there was no problem so far away, but in fact there were all mines ahead. ”

A male traverser with a metallized right hand said, it seems that there are buried mines around the factory, and the explosion just triggered has alerted the other party.

"I can't help it."

Joel, who was on Hiiragi's side, stood up and pulled out his revolver.

"Follow me."

"Huh??"

"It's okay, little brother Nangong, it's all discovered anyway, so let's just do it!!"

Joel took the lead and charged towards the minefield, and with the pull of the trigger, he blasted the ground and dirt in front of him, causing explosions and creating ravines.

Already, there's no going back...... (To be continued.) )
