Volume Five, 14: Turnaround
Chen Xi is not surprised that his identity as [Agares's Cobweb] can be adored by teenagers like Zhang Fan.
The concept of evil is always associated with power, and it is inherently easy to attract those who are restless. As long as they are not seriously brainwashed, they have more or less some evil desires held in their hearts, wanting to dominate others and enslave others, not to mention those young people who are restless and eager to break the rules.
They always feel that they are bound by the entire world, and they have a natural desire for the concept of evil, which can change their fate in a short period of time.
"I'm going to blow up the school"
"If you don't care so much about her feelings, you should have the courage to confess, or even forcibly possess her"
"As long as I become strong and evil, no one will dare to bully me"
……
These ideas are not a separate special case in the crowd, they will seem very rare, in fact, most people have such urgent thoughts, but they are limited by various consequences and determinations to implement them.
Therefore, Chen Xi knows very well that while launching [Agareth's Cobweb], a concept that can attract the hatred of all mankind, he can also gain the invisible worship of many people who are similar to Zhang Fan and are unwilling to be bound under the rules.
"It's a pity that there are still very few people who have the courage to express themselves in a dark way like Zhang Fan, otherwise I would simply post on the Internet for recruitment." Chen Xi regretted that in fact, he had already thought of what kind of title and content should be used to attract these restless young people.

Such a seductive title and content, coupled with the liberalizing effect of the opening of the evolutionary space, on the human psyche. Chen Xi can already imagine what a fiery registration frenzy it will cause once this kind of recruitment post appears.
Arguably. This will be even more sensational than the [Alliance] and [Horde] he planned to create.
However, Chen Xi can only put it in his mind, not to mention how much criticism he will face if he does this, and how many plans he will join in, in fact, most of them are undercover agents with ulterior motives. Just say that the current time doesn't allow him to think too much, and there are still people who haven't solved it.
At this time, Zhang Fan had already come out of the problem of worrying about huge debts, and his expression returned to his previous victory. Facing Chen Xi, who couldn't escape, he smiled faintly: "Uncle, you just just admit defeat, there is no future for useless resistance." ”
He had this kind of confidence, because anyone who entered the realm of [Near the End of the World] would inevitably be affected by the chaotic environment here, and become less combative, and only those who often fought in this space where the effects of sound, light, and even the passage of time would be spared. What's more, the person in front of him has always been a law system, he has never seen a close battle capital, and his strong bloodline is restrained by the dagger attached to him [Breaking the Law of All Things], and the result is easy to predict.
Chen Xi lost.
Not only Zhang Fan thinks so, but the audience also has the same view.
When Zhang Fan used that dagger to simply cut off the Gatling machine gun that Chen Xi had left in place, everyone had a feeling that Chen Xi was in danger.
They have all tried the hardness of their weapons, and the equipment issued by the venue staff is worthy of being a representative of "systematically produced and must be a high-quality product", even if they take their best weapons to cut, they will not lose a single bit. But Zhang Fan can cut it off with a dagger. This fact is enough to prove that his ability to attack tough problems is strong, and he has been able to ignore the predicament that Wang Laoji felt in the last game, and it is difficult to cause substantial damage to Chen Xi's body after multiple strengthening.
Many people have watched Zhang Fan's previous battles and are apprehensive about his ability to trap enemies in a small space. In such an inescapable environment, faced with a dagger that can cut anything, a fool knows what kind of predicament the people in the Dao are in, as long as they are not careful, they will encounter death at any time.
Although what happened later made everyone a little confused, Zhang Fan, who broke Chen Xi's weapon with a strong attitude, actually stopped the pursuit and stood in place to talk to Chen Xi, with an obvious worry and depression on his face, but they still insisted on this point of view, Chen Xi was afraid to stop outside the top 16.
Relatively speaking, only the part of Fisher who is in action hopes that Chen Xi can defeat Zhang Fan and continue to walk.
They were more worried than anyone else that once Chen Xi was dragged in the stadium without a fight, he might leave here. Although the odds are small, this accident is not out of the question. If that happens, the things they arrange will be much less effective.
"I hope we won't be disappointed!"
It is rare for Fisher to want Chen Xi to get a high ranking, in this way, when Chen Xi is exposed as a chess piece controlled by [Agares's Cobweb], the greater the reversal effect. Everyone knows that once Chen Xi gets a high ranking, with his fame and strength. How many people can be called. In this way, when this part of the people is indirectly controlled by the [Agareth's Cobweb], how much harm will it cause to this world?
This is almost an obvious answer, and as long as you are not stupid, you will be afraid of this kind of consequence for a while.
"It's just that the situation is a little bad, most people are not optimistic about Chen Xi's results, when Zhang Fan cut off his weapon and included Chen Xi in his skill, the real-time odds on the Internet have dropped from 1:2.7 to 1:3.8, if Chen Xi does not have a special hole card. The outcome of this battle was almost a foregone conclusion. Archimedes looked away from the screen and said.
The title as a surveyor. He is very sensitive to numbers. Whether it is underground gambling or online public gambling, they are not optimistic about the outcome of Chen Xi's battle. You must know that before this, he was a strong contender for the title of the strongest king. Odds 11.3. Ranked 2nd out of 32 candidates. This can only tell. Zhang Fan's skills are too perverted. No one expected that in addition to being able to limit the opponent's inability to escape, it also had such a powerful defensive effect. Almost impossible to crack from the front.
"But it's weird, I have a feeling that he's going to do something unexpected in the next moment, as if the last time I met that nasty guy, always making incredible changes when others can't think of it."
Fisher didn't know why he had such a sudden premonition, maybe it was because Chen Xi's performance had the same flavor before, always creating accidents, maybe it was Chen Xi's attitude that gave him a sense of déjà vu, as if everything was under control. If it weren't for the fact that the appearance and combat methods used were too different, he would definitely equate this Chen Xi with that bastard, both of them were so annoying.
Fisher was thinking about the last evolution space, and then suddenly opened his mouth wide and cursed! Because in the battle he watched, there was an unexpected change.
Zhang Fan, who had just finished speaking, was suddenly lifted upside down by something in the void, struggling to be fixed in the air.
This twist is too blunt!
Not only did Fisher feel stunned, but most of the people who noticed this battle couldn't imagine how Zhang Fan was suddenly controlled?
There was no warning at all!
They now hated Zhang Fan's skills very much, which simply made their vigorous curiosity unsatisfied.
It stands to reason that the wide stone table that has expanded to more than 100 meters in the ring is enough for anyone to see every part of the details of the battle at a glance and understand the situation and the contrast between the two sides, but the problem is that due to the [Close to the World] effect used by Zhang Fan, no one can understand the process of the battle in time.
The light was fine, only delayed for about a second, but the sound was delayed for more than half an hour.
Whether it was the hundreds of thousands of people outside, or the two people fighting inside, the part they perceived after crossing the boundary of [Close to the End of the World] was like an ongoing silent movie, except for understanding the general situation of the battle from their body movements and facial expressions, they didn't know anything about the situation inside.
But even so, everyone could feel the irrepressible shock and panic in his heart from Zhang Fan's suddenly suffocated red face and stiff limbs.
I guess I can't imagine how I could suddenly become like this.
The onlookers who didn't know the truth speculated with empathy.
Just when he thought he was holding the victory, he was turned over by his opponent at the next moment, not only was his body hanging in the air and couldn't move, but his neck was strangled by something invisible, causing him to be completely unable to breathe.
What a thrilling and frightening reversal!
Even looking at them from afar, they had a chilling and inexplicable feeling, not to mention the parties themselves, if it weren't for the fact that no evolutionary had ever entered the supernatural realm where ghosts existed so far, they must have thought that they had seen ghosts in broad daylight, and how terrifying it would have been.
"It seems to be an invisible thing that hangs Zhang Fan up, but how could that guy not be able to find it."
Fisher felt also very puzzled, for these evolutionaries who had been strengthened and had gone through many dangerous missions, they would definitely not ignore the anomalies in their surroundings. Even if it is an invisible thing, as long as it is moving, it can be sensed from the surrounding air flow, but looking at Zhang Fan's previous appearance, it seems that he is completely unaware that something is approaching around him.
"Is it another skill related to spatial ability, my God? There are too many good cards hidden by this Chen Xi! How many evolution points and attribute points does he have to do this! Fisher was glad that his people had already begun to deal with such a terrifying opponent, otherwise, if he was allowed to grow up, many people would have been unable to sleep at night tossing and turning about the threat in the future.
It wasn't until some of them took a closer look through the rewind function given by the system that they discovered the secret of the turnaround.
"I saw that Zhang Fan's feet did not really touch the ground, but separated by a layer of invisible substance! If he didn't detect and react in time, I'm afraid it was these substances that suddenly appeared from his side that controlled his body and limbs."
After telling others about this discovery, many people quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Especially those who may have to encounter Chen Xi. For them. As long as it's not a space skill that's hard to guard, just pay more attention to your feet in the future. Although this kind of arrangement is difficult to prevent, you can prepare in advance, and you can react once you encounter it.
There are only more people who think like Fisher. I did not let go of the vigilance in my heart. On the contrary, it is more worried. Chen Xi's performance is more frightening than having excellent ability. People who know how to take advantage of their surroundings can be called really dangerous people, because they are prone to make some accidents that others can't imagine. Thus changing the situation.
"It's really tangled with this guy, I hope he can go all the way to the bottom, but I also feel scared, what if the plan fails, being up by such a guy is a disaster!" Fisher and Archimedes looked at each other in unison, both with the same concern in their eyes.
Chen Xi couldn't predict what the people outside would think, but he knew Zhang Fan's reaction. Through his ability to see through emotions, he was able to discover some of the teenager's personality traits.
"The endurance is good, in the face of this little bit of suffocating pain, there is not much fear reaction, and there is no intention of begging for mercy, more disbelief and accidents, in this way, let him join the Association for the Study of Abnormal Humans, even if he is caught, he should not easily succumb to the threat of death."
Chen Xi believes that how to face death is a person's most real and primitive reaction. Through this most direct reaction, it is possible to completely see what is hidden in a person's heart. And what this old boy showed made him more satisfied, and he was a good seedling who did great things.
"It's just that the personality is too coquettish, and the muscle spasms produced in the later stage of suffocation are obviously very painful, as if the body is torn apart, but this guy is still trying to pose, trying to make his death look good, sure enough, the boy is still a teenager, and he deeply understands what it means to have a broken head, blood to flow, and a posture that can't be messed up."
I have to say that this kind of person is suitable to join his abnormal human research center.
Looking at the body that gradually lost its strength to struggle, Chen Xi meticulously fulfilled his promise, making Zhang Fan's death look better, and did not damage his body at all during the whole process, and kept the body intact.
And after Zhang Fan's death, the effect of the [Close to the World] that surrounded him instantly became invalid, and the voice that had accumulated for a long time was instantly released and conveyed to every corner of the venue.
That's when they learned what had happened before. For Chen Xi's fast leap in thinking, they were speechless at the same time. I've never seen such a guy who controls the pace of a battle like this, and every time he can distract the other party with unexpected topics and get time to breathe.
As for Zhang Fan's experience, everyone is sympathetic. It's really sad to meet a guy like Chen Xi, not only did he not win the battle, but he also had to pay a huge debt. At this moment, the young man may have understood the true meaning of what Chen Xi said before, and if he takes a fork in life, it will be a heavy price!
However, some people questioned Chen Xi's approach, which was so vicious to a young man, making him slowly suffocate to death. Speaking of this, this is not at all as peace-loving as Chen Xi showed when he issued the [Declaration of War], and he can be the spiritual leader of the [Alliance], which is like a killer who mutilates minors.
This is the sadness of public figures, there are always people who will pay attention to their daily actions with colored eyes, and then use the spirit of picking bones in eggs to ask some thorns that are not problems at all, as if they must be a perfect person, without shortcomings, without doing bad things.
Whether there are other intentions or not, it was specially arranged Brother Chen didn't know how to do it, but he had been prepared for it.
"I need to make this boy more aware of the consequences he will bear when he does something, such as fighting, when he wins, it's fine, as a victor can ignore everything, but when he loses, they may suffer a heavy punishment, and don't you think, compared to the more bloody effect, this way of dying seems much safer, at least he can be resurrected directly without borrowing the plane capsule, I hope he can watch the battle later."
Only then did many people remember that before the evolution space was opened, as long as their brain and heart, which were vital parts of their bodies, were not destroyed, even if they died, they could be restored and activated again through the medical pod. It's just that these days, most people's deaths are rather bizarre, and it is very difficult to see clearly that it is a corpse, so they suddenly forget this original function.
After being reminded by Chen Xi, someone also asked in time what happened to the senior executives of United ZF who were sent to the collective rehabilitation center.
To be honest, people are a kind of inertia and don't want things to change suddenly. As they have been ruled by those people for a long time, even if they know that this [Epoch Summit] is not a bad intention, they still have a little hope in their hearts, hoping that these people still have hope of being rescued.
But Fisher's categorical answers made everyone's hearts cold again.
"I'm sorry to tell you that after testing, although our leader's body is intact, his consciousness is no longer in this space, so even if he destroys the body outside and uses the plane capsule to completely resurrect, the restored body will still be an incapacitated body."
Subconsciously, they recalled the shadow hanging overhead, [Agareth's Cobweb] said that he would come again (to be continued......
