Chapter 184: This is what it feels like to be stronger
Chrismas, Sarah, Jack, and Ken have said that they have rejected the Demon King's invitation.
Catherine and Damon did not speak, and it was not surprising that the two of them had rarely been involved in such discussions, and it was not surprising that Catherine had asked Louie more than once if she could travel to other worlds, and she was more interested in such invitations than the others.
So everyone is not surprised that she did not express her position, but Virginia, a professional woman who looks weak, is also very silent at this time, which surprises everyone.
Louie glanced at Virginia, who was sitting quietly next to him, and didn't ask anything, he knew in his heart that Virginia was an insurance investigator on the surface, but on the inside she was an art thief who had committed multiple thefts, and she was full of adventure in her bones.
Because of Virginia's silence, the atmosphere that had been improving took a turn for the worse, and everyone didn't know what to say.
Blame Virginia? None of them are secondary school teenagers, they are all adults, and they understand that everyone has the right to freely choose their future, and no one has the right to blame others until they have caused them any harm.
For now, Virginia didn't cause any trouble for everyone, and whatever choice she made was her personal business, and everyone couldn't say anything.
There was no talk all night, no one slept, but neither spoke again.
When the sun rose, everyone was tidying up their things.
No one said that they were going to go, but everyone knew that this small team would not be able to sustain itself for a long time, so it was better to solve the problems in front of us while everyone had not completely torn their faces now.
When they were ready, they walked into the passage formed by the frozen lake, and when they came to the raised altar, they paused slightly, and finally walked in firmly.
After about five minutes of walking down the slightly slippery staircase, the group came to a large and bright hall.
The hall was half the size of a football field, and there were no columns or walls to be seen obstructing the view, except for a strange stone platform in the very center.
Everyone stopped at the edge of the hall and looked at it for a while, and Cassel muttered, "Looks like it's time for the puzzle again." ”
As they entered the hall, the stone door suddenly lowered down the staircase that had allowed them to enter, blocking their way back, and as on previous occasions, they could either solve the puzzle and move on, or they would have to be trapped here - a place without water and food, trapped here was tantamount to death.
Just as Chrismasas was about to take a look at the stone platform, Louis reached out and grabbed the experienced mercenary.
"What's the discovery?" Chrismas knew Louie wouldn't stop them casually, and that this reaction meant danger.
Although it was stirred up by the Demon King, everyone's trust in each other dropped a lot, but everyone still trusted Louie, and everyone consciously stopped, including Catherine, who also stood honestly in place.
"Watch ......" Louis looked left and right at the items on the people's bodies, pulled the dagger she was carrying from her waist from Kenm, reminded everyone of the dagger, and gently threw it forward.
The dagger flew out less than five meters, as if it had touched something, and a thin line of ice blue suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes, only to appear for a moment and then disappear again.
No one would suspect that it was their own dazzle, because the dagger flying from the thin line instantly changed to another appearance, as if the entire dagger capital was covered with a layer of frost.
This is not the end, the dagger that changed into another shape was soon and 'Besides, everyone dared not move, and they all looked at Louis, only Cassel pondered for a moment, and turned his head to look at Virginia next to him: "Isn't this a reproduction of that scene?"
Louis knows what Cassel is talking about, the biggest highlight of the film is that the heroine uses her soft body to make various difficult actions to avoid infrared detection.
In that episode, Virginia can't see infrared with the naked eye, so the male protagonist observes infrared through a special instrument and directs Virginia through the area covered with infrared light.
The situation is very similar to that scene: only Louie, a Jedi, can detect the presence of infrared-like silk threads, and another important character, Virginia, is also nearby.
"There's no need to be so troublesome!"
Just when Cassel thought that he needed Virginia to show his flexibility and approach the high platform through the layers of 'defenses', Louis directly stretched out his hand, and suddenly clenched his fist far away from the stone platform, and then everyone heard a 'click', as if something had been crushed.
Louis didn't greet everyone, but strode forward, and after he walked past the place where the blue thread should have appeared, everyone knew that the 'mechanism' had been destroyed by Louis.
"It's a pity that I didn't get to see the classic scene with my own eyes. ”
Beckett continued to roll his eyes helplessly, while Jack and Chrismas, who were next to him, shrugged their shoulders and seemed to agree with Cassel's words.
Louie, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped, and then an arrow was nailed directly to the ground in front of Louis.
He was followed by the black-robed man who suddenly fell from the sky and stepped on the stone platform to look down on everyone, his bow and arrow in his hand, and once again he pulled the bowstring and aimed it at Louis.
"You failed my mother!"
“......”
Everyone spread out to the sides as soon as the black-robed man appeared, and at the same time raised the weapon in his hand to aim at the black-robed man, and Cassel was still complaining when he aimed: "This sounds like a line from Green Arrow?"
Louie, who was being targeted by the bow and arrow, didn't care what the guy said, even though he could clearly see the face that looked like Elena under the black hood.
"I knew I was going to meet you here. The right hand that pointed slightly to the ground was already holding the lightsaber, and the purple blade appeared at the front of the grip with the sound of the lightsaber activating: "Just give it to me, you guys should stay away and pay attention to protecting yourself......"
From the moment he saw the nursery in the valley, he guessed that he was going to face an enemy: a child who belonged to him and Elena based on his identity and experiences.
"There's really nothing new......
He knew that this guy was just a fake created by this strange world, so there could be no complicated emotions, and even if this child had a face similar to Elena's, he wouldn't be relented by it.
The black-robed man on the other side didn't talk too much nonsense, even if he had a similar appearance to Elena and said lines like 'let down my mother', but this guy was not a real person after all, just like a delicate dummy, with a cold and stiff expression, even with a red double-headed lightsaber and a classic black robe, he didn't have the evil sense of the real Sith.
This kind of knock-off, Louie didn't bother to fight with his mouth cannon, the lightsaber in his hand slashed directly, and then after being parried by the black-robed man, his left hand suddenly poked out, and a force impact directly knocked the opponent away, and when the black-robed man hadn't reacted, he rushed up again to attack with a lightsaber.
Because the black-robed man had not yet stood firm, he was slightly embarrassed to block Louie's two attacks, and was cut off by Louie's backhand that turned his wrist after a slash, cutting off his left wrist.
There was no time to adjust after being injured, and Louie's attack did not mean to stop, and he still relied on his wrist to change the angle of attack during the attack, and even cut off his right hand.
With both hands broken, the double-headed lightsaber fell to the ground, pausing in mid-air before hitting the ground, and the black-robed man seemed to want to use the Force to control the lightsaber and continue the fight.
It's a pity that his movements are still half a beat slower, and Louis still has no intention of stopping after cutting off the black cannon's hands, and with a wave of his hand, he simply slashes and chops off the head of the black-robed man.
The head was broken, the lightsager fell to the ground, and the black cannon man's body collapsed into a large cloud of black smoke in an instant, and the strength of this copycat fake was simply not enough in front of Louie, who was going all out.
"I'm still a little affected, and normally I don't have that much anger. ”
The black-robed man turned into black smoke, but Louie stood in place for a while, readjusted his mentality, and found that the black smoke in front of him did not dissipate directly, and before this black smoke was ready to make any changes, Louis directly raised his hand and prepared to release the Force Trial.
Before Louis could unleash the Force Judgment, he had just raised his hand when the black smoke suddenly collapsed and dispersed as if he had received an order, and gathered again in the distance behind Louie.
The black smoke that had recondensed did not rush towards Louie, but rushed towards Virginia, not far away.
"Do you want to do this again?"
Louis thought that Black Smoke was going to possess someone else like that time in the small valley, so that he had some scruples and could not go all out, but something happened to everyone's surprise.
Virginia did not panic or dodge, but instead met the black smoke, and at the same time raised her white left hand, turning her hand back to the black smoke that was rushing towards her.
As she raised her left hand, the speed of the black smoke suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, the black smoke had all penetrated the back of Virginia's left hand.
At this time, everyone could clearly see that there was a strange pattern on the back of Virginia's left hand, and it emitted a dazzling red light.
Virginia took a deep breath, the red light on her left hand gradually faded, and the mark on the back of her hand slowly faded, but she did not put away her left hand, but aimed at the double-headed lightsaber that did not turn into black smoke, and then the double-headed lightsaber flew into Virginia's hand as if she heard the order.
"Is this what it's like to have the Force?"
