Chapter 353: Another counterattack by the Natural Science King
Facing Cheruth, who was fixed in the air, Gurney suddenly felt a headache.
Naturally, he didn't want to let go of this culprit who was suspected of causing a series of uncontrollable changes in Xingxi's mood and attitude, but the problem was that although he had caught the other party, there was no way to clean up the other party.
King Kong, who has no fighting spirit, can only throw long-range throwing weapons if he wants to attack the heavens, but obviously no one here has such weapons now, and Egger's law has no direct attack power, and it is currently used to limit the star tide, so it can't be used.
"Ali Aliβ"
"A-chan, I won't allow you to attack!!"
Ali Ali looked at Gurney, and then at Xiao Xi, who had a clear expression on his face, "If you dare to shoot, you will be a friend", and made a decisive choice, moved a few steps and ran behind Xingxi to avoid Gurney's eyes and pretend to be dead.
Gurney looked at Xingxi helplessly, and opened his mouth to say something, but Xingxi still looked at him with a stubborn look, and it could be seen from his expression that Xingxi was determined not to let them hurt this girl named Cheruth...... But why, on earth, Gurney couldn't understand why Startide would cover up and defend this wolf girl.
Gurney doesn't know who Cheruth is...... Or maybe he didn't think in that direction at all. Fourteen years ago, Ryan and Tias's lost daughter was named Cheruth by the two, although it was told to these survivors at the time, but in fact, except for someone like Xingxi, who valued and cherished the Nolans with unforgettable affection, no one else had any impression of the name at all.
After all, Cheruth was only six months old at the time, and she was lost in that disaster, even if there were some signs that the half-year-old baby girl did not know what she had experienced at that time, and actually survived the disaster, but the question was, how could you expect her to remember that she was called Cheruth? Aside from the fact that the name Cheluse has some special meaning to Ryan and Tias, no one else feels the need to remember it.
Therefore, not only Gurney, but even Ali Ali and King Kong Egger and others only had a feeling of "where have you heard this name" after hearing the name of Cheruth This is just a feeling, and because of the next series of events between Xingxi and Cheruth, they subconsciously attributed this familiarity to the seemingly natural conclusion that they should have heard the girl's name through Xingxi's mouth, and in addition, Cheruth has basically been labeled as "an orc girl from the wolf clan, who is friendly with Xingxi but is in a hostile position with Nolan" Such a label, so Gurney and the others never thought that Cheruth would be the youngest of their fellow clansmen who had been missing for fourteen years.
So now, Xingxi's attitude and behavior of wanting to protect Ruth no matter what, seemed to Gurney more and more incomprehensible, and he even had doubts: hell, could this wolf girl cast some kind of mind-control magic on Xingxi when they didn't know it, or made her drink some kind of potion that can change people's perception like "Devil's Whispering"?
In any case, seeing Xingxi's appearance, Gurney's heart for Cheruth's killing spirit was not only not weakened, but it was stronger again. Since fourteen years ago, the word revenge should have been left in the lives of all the people of the Nolan clan, and an existence like Cheruth who can actually affect the always strong-willed Xingxi to this extent must be erased!
However, perhaps even the god of fate is blessing the wolf girl (the unintentional truth?), and just as Gurney was about to use the name of Nolan to force Ali Ali to attack Cheruth, suddenly a red firework rose from the main gate of the royal city.
Prince Naris failed?so quickly?!
As early as when he was separated from Vincent at the hiding place, Vincent had told Gurney that once Prince Narris's siege of the royal city failed, it meant that the official army of Loris in the royal city would be dispatched and scattered around Alrant City to participate in the work of quelling rumors and suppressing the rebellion, which meant that their withdrawal must start immediately and could not be delayed any longer, so Vincent told Gurney that he sent people to the vicinity of Narris to observe the battlefield situation, once the defeat of Prince Naris was irreparable, Then that person will sound a red signal to remind them that they must evacuate to a better location anyway, and then evacuate with Vincent.
"Gurney!"
King Kong reminded worriedly, and Gurney gritted his teeth, weighed it for a moment, and suddenly the light of law appeared in his eyes again.
Chess, whose body was frozen in mid-air, suddenly felt that the restraints around her body had been untied at once, but before she could rejoice, a strong feeling of suffocation filled her brain.
What's going on...... Can't breathe......
Cheruth tried her best to take a deep breath, but just as she was unable to move with all her strength just now, this time she didn't feel any loss of strength at all, but she couldn't feel the lung muscles in her chest anyway, and she couldn't breathe...... The Law of Abort?!
In times of crisis, people are several times more active than usual, and Chelsea almost instantly remembered the scene when they first met Gurney two years ago when Kells was running away at night, when Gurney deliberately killed the officer who was bought by Nanoha at the same time in order to blame them, and at that time, Gurney's method of killing the officer was just to suffocate the man to death.
Suspend all ongoing movements...... Can Gurney even forcibly stop a person's breathing!
In the flash of light, Cheruth's brain, which had already developed a certain degree of vertigo due to lack of oxygen, thought clearly about the current situation he was facing, breathing was suspended = lack of oxygen = suffocation, if he wanted to break the game......
Holding on to the last bit of consciousness she had left, Cheruth exerted all the wind affinities she had developed in Helan's physique, and did everything she could to manipulate the air around her to flow into her nasal cavity.
The act of breathing actually relies on the activity of the muscles in the lung cavity to change the air pressure in the body, so as to expel the exhaust gas produced by the exchange of blood oxygen in the lungs and inhale new air to supply the oxygen in it...... The breathing effect was suspended by the power of the law and the lack of oxygen was a matter that may be almost no different from mortal death in this otherworld because it could not be solved by fighting qi and magic, but for Cheruth, an alien soul from the earth plane who had been ahead of the technological civilization for several generations, she immediately thought of a solution.
The direct cause of suffocation is that the human body is unable to take in oxygen rather than that the person is unable to breathe, although the inability to breathe is indeed a fatal thing under normal circumstances, but as long as the blood oxygen concentration in the body is ensured by other means, then the person can still live. On the earth, many patients with severe lung disease also have muscle tissue weakness in the lung organs and cannot breathe normally, but through the hospital's oxygen delivery equipment, these patients with respiratory disorders can still continue to obtain oxygen through this external oxygen supply to maintain their lives.
In fact, in the other world where Cheruth is located, those wind mages can use a blow spell that has been operated by precision magic to create an air flow that flows according to the mage's own will, so that it can directly enter the human body from the nasal cavity without being powered by the air pressure change in the lungs, and then circulate after being sucked out of oxygen, achieving the same effect as the external oxygen supply device of the oxygen delivery system...... Although it is tedious, as long as a wind mage whose magic strength has reached three stars or above to complete this kind of thing, it can basically be said that there is not much pressure to complete this kind of thing.
However, although there are indeed disciplines such as Warcraft ecology and pathology on the continent of Aletse, the problem is that these disciplines are based on magical and psionic systems, and no one has really explored the mysteries of this with the theoretical system of natural science on Earth. Therefore, people in other worlds are not able to understand the role of respiration in the maintenance of human life, and it is not clear that people actually live by the oxygen in the air obtained by breathing, rather than by the act of breathing itself. This led Gurney to take the abort of breath as a law command that was completely equivalent to death...... Because so far he had never seen an exception who could survive after being stopped breathing.
Today, however, Gurney's eyes were opened.
At first, Gurney only saw in the distance in the air, the wolf girl who had been interrupted by his law flew out crookedly, and then stopped in mid-air after a short distance, the originally cute and fair little face looked full of pain from a distance and even a little blue, and the body floating in mid-air was not as stable as before, but rather a kind of shaky feeling.
He was actually worried that his interrupted breathing command would not be able to really kill Cheruth, after all, once Cheruth fell out of mid-air and blocked his vision before she completely turned into a corpse due to suffocation, then it would be a waste of time for the wolf girl to breathe a sigh of relief at the last moment...... However, after seeing Cheruth in mid-air in the air, despite the pain of suffocation, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he felt that the girl was dead.
Around him, everyone, including Xingxi, noticed that his eyes were shining with the mark of the law, and they all turned their heads to look at the sky, and soon realized that Cherus seemed to be in a dangerous state of suffocation. Hearing Xingxi's anxious shouting to stop him, Gurney's heart was unmoved, and he even felt a little relieved because he had finally eliminated the hidden danger of a Nolan clan, but in the next second, everyone looked at the air with wide eyes.
I saw that after a few twists in the air with a blue face, Cheruth's face suddenly became much better, and she seemed to have recovered from the suffocation state, and her movements floating in mid-air also stabilized.
...... Belch?
Gurney subconsciously thought that he had inadvertently interrupted the effect of the law, but he soon realized that the law of his forcible interruption of Cheruth's breathing was still in effect, and the other party should still be in a state of inability to breathe, but ......
...... Who will tell him why the hell the wolf girl doesn't look suffocated at all now, and even turns around with ease and makes a cute grimace at them on the ground?
Cheruth in mid-air didn't care how confused Gurney and the others were at the moment, after making a grimace at Gurney, Cheruth immediately urged the levitation technique to fall at full speed towards the place covered by the house below. Although she used magic to create a circulation similar to the oxygen delivery system that allows the air inside and outside the body to circulate automatically, after all, unlike the real oxygen delivery system, she delivers to her lungs through external force not pure oxygen, but air, so strictly speaking, her hypoxia state has not been completely alleviated, but only temporarily maintains the oxygen supply that can maintain basic life activities, and the hidden danger of suffocation will still exist after a long time, so it is best to get out of the other party's law control as soon as possible.
Seeing Cheruth disappear into the nearby town buildings, Gurney's group was eerily quiet for a while, and then Gurney coughed lightly.
β...... Okay, Xiaoxi, this time I let her go for your sake, but next time, I will definitely not show mercy to my subordinates. β
If Cirth was there, she would have scolded Gurney for being shameless, but Xingxi and the others naturally didn't know what was going on as well as the two parties, and although they were skeptical that Gurney would really listen to Xingxi's words and let Ceroth go, they really couldn't think of any other explanation to prove that Gurney didn't show mercy. After all, they also knew the terrible effect of Gurney's law of suspension to stop breathing, and of course they couldn't imagine what means the wolf girl who was not a law powerhouse in that situation (Xingxi, who knew that Cheruth had the power of the law, did not feel that the other party used the power of the law), used what means to crack Gurney's law attack, it seems that there is indeed no other reasonable explanation except for Gurney's men showing mercy......
Gurney tried his best to make his smile look less embarrassing, after all, letting others escape on their own and then saying that this was his own mercy was really not glorious, but in order to make Xingxi, who was now a little out of his control, be obedient in his actions in the future, he had to pretend to let Xingxi accept his feelings.
"Well, let's get out of here. (To be continued.) )
