Chapter 265: My Name
Games have an expiration date, one day you are addicted to one game, maybe tomorrow you will switch to another game, at the end of the day, you don't love games, you just want to pass the time of boredom.
This special training is like a game in Chen An's eyes, since it is a game, there will inevitably be people who want to win, although he doesn't value the win or loss of the game, but the people around him are different, they want to win, and Chen An can't always affect the game experience of the people around him because of his own reasons, what if the people around him no longer value the win or loss of the game? The result is obvious, Chen An can finally relax.
In fact, there are many similarities between the game and reality.
The average gamer can get pleasure in the abuse of food, and can get a sense of accomplishment by defeating an opponent of equal strength, and conversely, no player likes to be abused, and no player wants to lose to an opponent of the same level.
For Lu Youde and others, Xiao Tianci is like a top professional gamer in their eyes, competing in the same field, and being abused is basically a high probability event, because they are very self-aware, and the gap in strength is not something that can be made up by hard work or cleverness, after all, they are not adolescent teenagers, thinking that they can fight the heavens and the earth with the blood of the second in their hearts, and they will be invincible, and they will not wake up until the reality teaches them to be a man.
In the four consecutive simulated battles, Chen An exposed a lot of his own details, such as meticulous and thoughtful layout ability, the ability to disguise himself, the magical concealment ability, and the sharp skill, he knew that someone was secretly observing him, and he also knew who the other party was, and even what kind of thoughts and plans he had, so he simply put his so-called hole cards in the open one by one, the purpose was to eliminate the suspicion of the other party.
The way of the superior is to combine grace and power, but you never know how cruel the superior can be.
Because according to the Stockholm theory of mental syndrome, people can be domesticated.
As time passed, it was finally Chen An's turn to appear.
Before the battle, the two groups of people were arranged in different places in advance, not like a confrontation on the court, and they could talk trash and provoke it.
According to the results of the previous discussion, the real prisoner will be handed over to Chen An.
Many people have played the game of rock-paper-scissors, often after the first draw, each other will draw their own analysis and judgment based on the results just now, thinking that the opponent will probably come out with scissors or rock, and Lu Youde is also guessing who the opponent will send to intercept them when they are discussing, between the possible and the impossible, in the end, they decided to hand over the real prisoner to Chen An.
From beginning to end, Chen An did not speak, leaving them to speculate without any basis.
When the official selection of the referee begins.
Chen An and the four of them immediately took the prisoners to the predetermined place at the same time, each prisoner wore the same kind of human skin mask that was realistic, and the physical service was exactly the same, it was difficult to distinguish who was real and who was fake from the appearance alone.
If the two groups do not follow Chen An's ideas, they will inevitably miss the other escorts, and once someone from Chen An's group arrives at the boundary of the predetermined location, it means their victory.
Unable to determine the real prisoner for the time being, and not daring to risk letting go of the way, the second group was as Chen An expected, and soon after they set off, the people of the second group scattered and acted separately.
In the first game, Chen An won the bet.
But the key is to look at the second game.
Who will be the one who will stop him?
Chen An, who was sitting in the soft sleeper car of the train, quietly read the book in his hand, and looked at the prisoner who was honestly sitting on the bed opposite. The other party has been silent since the beginning of the escort, and occasionally he will look at Chen An with a very strange look, for some reason, Chen An will have a feeling of dΓ©jΓ vu.
Thirty kilometers away, about ten minutes to complete the train can be completed, Chen An will inadvertently glance at the hands on the watch when reading a book, when fifteen minutes have passed, he closed the book and put it on the table, stood up and opened the soft sleeper door.
The sealed space suddenly unfolded.
For a moment, a figure slowly appeared at the far end of the carriage.
Chen An suddenly sighed lightly after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, and the reason for the sigh was because the goddess of luck actually favored him, and the person who came was Ai Ming, the weakest newcomer in the second group.
Ai Ming is a young man who is not good-looking, only three years older than Chen An, and officially became a member of the East China Sea detachment after passing the assessment, perhaps because he has joined for too short a time, he has not participated in any psionic crimes for several months, and in addition to patrolling or patrolling in ordinary times, he is like a college student who has just stepped into society, full of enthusiasm, and his talent seems to be useless. Therefore, it is quite normal for him to be selected to participate in this special training, and with Xiao Tianci and these big brothers, he has gained a lot of rich practical experience in a short period of time, which will undoubtedly be of great help to his future growth.
His psionic energy is characterized by power absorption, and any striking force acting on him can be transformed and released without exceeding a certain threshold, or absorbed and strengthened his own power, which belongs to the real martial arts melee psionics.
"Surprised, wasn't it?"
Ai Ming moved his body and bones, as if he was preparing for the next move, he had the flamboyant personality of a young man, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a teasing smile.
"Sort of. Chen An said calmly. But when you think about it, it's not surprising. β
"Brother Xiao told me that no matter whether the real prisoner is in your hands or not, he believes that I have the ability to solve you. Ai Ming walked towards Chen An with his fists in his hands. "In his opinion, you are a very suitable whetstone, but unfortunately, I heard that you are not good at fighting. β
"You're wrong. Chen An said quietly. "To be precise, I don't like to fight, and if I can, I usually like to solve problems by means other than violence. β
"Naive. β
Five steps away from Chen An, Ai Ming put on an attacking posture, looking sneering.
"Don't you forget, from beginning to end, the Nine Places are a violent machine subordinate to the state, and as a member of this violent machine, don't you even have this ideological awareness? Or are you stupid to study in school?"
"I've never denied that, I'm just expressing my own attitude towards violence. Chen An said indifferently.
"Extremely pedantic!" Ai Ming said with a sneer. "I thought that there should be a lot of common topics when we were close in age, but I didn't know that you disappointed me very much, the Tao is not the same, we still have to see the real chapter under our hands, let's end it early!"
"Don't you first ask me if the prisoner I brought is real or not?" Chen An pointed to the soft sleeper doorway beside him.
"No, I'll confirm it again after convincing you. β
As soon as the words fell, Ai Ming rushed towards Chen An with a fierce fist.
It is difficult to spread his fists and kicks in the narrow aisle of the carriage, of course, in the eyes of the powerful psionics, anything that gets in the way can be destroyed directly, but neither Chen An nor Ai Ming is the king of destruction, maybe Ai Ming can, provided that he must absorb enough power.
In the face of Ai Ming's fierce attack, Chen An did not advance but retreated, and only blocked and did not fight back between the sideways dodging movements, because he understood the characteristics of the opponent's psionic energy and understood what it meant to fight back, he was confident that he could knock down Ai Ming in combat, the problem was that this would undoubtedly make Ai Ming stronger and stronger, and in the end he was not so simple as dodging, I am afraid that he would end up running for his life in a hurry.
It is not difficult to deal with Ai Ming, once he locks Ai Ming with moves such as armbar, so that the opponent cannot exert his psionic characteristics, so that he can subdue Ai Ming.
All the members of the Nine Divisions were proficient in martial arts, since Chen An knew his weaknesses, how could Ai Ming not know that? Therefore, when he attacked Chen An, he was always guarding against Chen An's use of grappling and grappling moves, and did not give him the slightest chance to control him.
In the case of chasing two carriages in a row without distinguishing the winner, Ai Ming's forehead and cheeks were covered with fine sweat, and his breathing was no longer stable and a little wheezing, looking at Chen An, who was always fighting and retreating with him in front of him like a slippery loach, his patience was worn to the extreme.
"I underestimated you, it seems that I can't help you if I don't pay a price. β
Ai Ming stared at Chen An and took a deep breath.
After saying that, his clenched fist suddenly slammed into his chest, and in an instant, a mouthful of black blood spat out of his mouth.
"Is this necessary?" Chen An said softly when he saw Ai Ming's self-harm.
"Of course, because I love to fight, and I want to win every time I fight!"
Ai Ming coughed, and then swung his fist and smashed it into his chest, five times in a row, Ai Ming was already half-kneeling on the ground with a hideous look of pain, and when he slowly stood up, the bones of his entire body began to click, and his body seemed to be bigger.
"The power of familiarity is back. β
Ai Ming muttered to himself with heavy breathing, and then, as soon as his feet moved, it was like a cannonball shooting towards Chen An in an instant.
Chen An dodged dangerously and dangerously, the clinker opponent's movements were extremely fast, and he swung his arm like a whip and smashed Chen An again, although this blow also did not hit Chen An, but directly smashed the bed frame of the sleeper and bent it on the ground.
Bang bang bang β
Ai Ming, who incarnated as the king of destruction, no longer had any scruples, every punch and kick was like a demolition, Chen An knew that if he continued, he would definitely be injured, so he simply admitted defeat after retreating once.
According to the rules, the fighting team cannot continue to attack if they admit defeat, otherwise the team will be judged to have violated the rules and the mission will fail.
"What a disappointment!"
Hearing Chen An admit defeat, Ai Ming's face was not very good-looking, probably thinking that Chen An had no backbone at all.
"Congratulations, you won. β
Chen Anke didn't care about any of this.
Bang Bang Bang β
At this time, a string of applause rang out at the end of the carriage.
And Chen An and Ai Ming looked at each other vigilantly.
Seeing that the prisoner of this mission appeared in front of the two of them, he stopped applauding, and casually tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his true face inside.
"Chen Ping, it's been a long time. β
"How did you end up here?"
Chen An, who is usually breezy and calm, showed shock in his eyes after seeing the other party's true face clearly.
"Li Zongxiu!"
"Guess. β
Li Zongxiu said with a smile.
"......," Chen An said after a moment of silence. "I didn't expect him to do that. β
"I didn't expect either, all I can say is that he is the scariest person I've ever met. Li Zongxiu put his hands in his pockets and sighed.
"Hey, what's going on with you two?"
At this moment, Ai Ming looked at the two of them in confusion.
"There's no place for you to talk here!"
Li Zongxiu stretched out his hand and waved, and countless pieces of wood swept towards Ai Ming from behind him, and before Ai Ming could react, he let the pieces of wood form a storm and hit him away, and the carriage that fell in the distance was unknown if he was alive or dead.
"You're left behind. β
Chen An didn't glance at Ai Ming, but he knew that Ai Ming was not dead.
"The person I can kill this time is you, and if I kill the wrong person, I am not far from death. Li Zongxiu manipulated the pieces of wood to form arrows around Chen An that were about to shoot out.
"Is he nearby?" Chen An asked.
"Of course, otherwise how dare he let me out. Li Zongxiu looked at Chen Andao with pity. "It's a pity, you shouldn't have anything to do with the Nine Divisions from the beginning, do you really think that the Nine Divisions are a group of good people?
β...... It's me who was naΓ―ve. Chen An looked at the frozen scenery outside the window in a daze. "You're right, maybe I shouldn't have gotten involved in your muddy waters in the first place, it's such a nasty world!"
"Is this your last word?" Li Zongxiu said in a calm tone.
"What do you say, what is the meaning of living in the world?" Chen An said expressionlessly.
"Who knows. β
Li Zongxiu shrugged his shoulders and snapped his fingers casually.
The arrows that surrounded Chen An shot out in an instant.
Chen An didn't hide, because he knew he couldn't hide.
In the sharp whistling sound, one arrow after another was inserted into Chen An's body as dense as a hedgehog, he was not a body of steel, and this fragile body could not stop the kinetic energy of the arrows at all.
His breath of life was fading.
"It's a pity. β
Li Zongxiu looked at Chen An's tragic situation, and didn't know how many times he said this pity.
Geniuses often die young.
Perhaps he was one of those geniuses who died young.
"I shouldn't have feelings for the world. β
Chen An raised his head with difficulty to look at Li Zongxiu, and an ugly smile appeared on his face.
"By the time I was eight years old, I knew that the world was cruel. Li Zongxiu fell into recollection. "And you seem to understand too late. β
"In this life again, I want to live quietly and ordinarily, but I have violated my original wishes again and again......"
Chen An struggled to his feet, he trembled and stretched out his hand, and began to pull out the arrows that had been shot into his body one by one.
"Thank you for making me understand one thing. β
After pulling out the arrow in his body, the smile on Chen An's face, which was covered in blood, became even worse, which made Li Zongxiu instinctively feel a strong uneasiness.
"It turns out that death is the ultimate destination of the soul of the Quest. β
The words fell.
The timeline of the entire world has been irreversibly shifted.
In the next second, Chen An stood in front of Li Zongxiu intact.
"You ......"
Li Zongxiu looked at the changes in Chen An's body in disbelief, and his mouth trembled so much that he couldn't speak.
"Isn't it amazing?"
Chen An turned his head to look out of the car window and didn't look at Li Zongxiu.
"Because, standing in front of you is me three minutes ago, the timeline of the world has changed, but you have not. β
"You are not Chen Ping, who are you?!!"
Li Zongxiu looked at him in horror and shouted.
"Here he comes. β
A black figure directly broke through the roof of the car and appeared not far from Chen An.
This time, Chen An finally glanced at Li Zongxiu, and then set his eyes on the uninvited guest.
"Formally introduce myself, my name is Chen An. β
