Chapter 708: Turbulence
What can you do in 2 seconds?
For an ordinary person, it is only enough for their eyes to turn between the two.
The moment Hogg heard the explosion behind him, he instinctively activated his ability, and although this was the first time he had truly activated his ability on his own, there was no joy in his heart.
Time was too short, and he could already see Lucy's skin wrinkled from the explosion from within, and the look in her eyes as if she was pinning all her hopes on it.
But for him, those two seconds were not even enough time for him to run to the window and jump off.
Hogg knew exactly what would happen here when time flowed again.
Lucy had told him that the psionic bombs planted by the Dominator could turn entire buildings into ruins in an instant, and that he couldn't get out of the blast anyway.
After all, he wasted a second judging his current situation, and then he had to force himself to make a difficult decision.
Although I didn't want to admit it, there was no point in thinking about Lucy right now
As Domination says, human beings are too small in power after all, so they always have to face these desperate moments.
But he had a second left.
Hogg rushed towards the 'Domination', and since the physical attack could not affect the opponent, then perhaps the stand-in as a mental power projection could really reach the opponent.
This will be an important piece of information.
However, just as he took the first step, he caught a glimpse of the masked figure, and in the split second of life and death, the double did the exact opposite of himβhe appeared at Lucy's side, swinging his hand and striking the other man's arm.
The next moment, time began to flow.
"Looks like Jock is wrong about you."
Domination noticed Hogg who had suddenly changed his posture and moved a step towards him, "...... You can indeed stop time in this world for two seconds. β
However, no matter how powerful the ability is, it also needs to be supported by the psionic person himself.
Hogg, on the other hand, was completely unable to exert the true power of this ability.
"But, it's all over."
The psionic bomb detonated behind him, enveloping Hogg in the space distorted by the aftermath of the explosion before he could take a second step, and Hogg, he continued to sprint forward.
It's a useless struggle that ordinary people do.
It turned in the midst of the explosion, but in the midst of the roar of the explosion, Domination heard a subtle sound.
It was the sound of footsteps while running.
How is this possible?
Hogg must have been torn to shreds the first time the explosion hit him.
Domination turned sideways in disbelief, only to see Hogg at the center of the explosion intact and running to his side.
Immediately afterward, it saw a pair of hands that did not exist appear next to Hogg, and the phantom-like arms were clenched into fists with both hands, showing a fist-swinging posture.
A strong sense of crisis came over me, followed by a trance - it actually felt threatened from an elderly ordinary person?
The momentary eye contact with Hogg convinced Domination that this was not an illusion.
This person......
He seemed to be quite confident in those arms, so confident that he ignored the explosion behind him, leaving behind anything that might threaten his life.
Wrong!
It abandoned its senseless self-esteem, followed the guidance of its instincts, and its entire body melted into the darkness as a flying "ink".
Time stood still again.
After a brief period of distraction, Domination saw the phantom fists slam into the wall like cannons, and the seemingly weak force drove strange holes into the bulletproof reinforced walls, and it noticed that the psionic bomb had once again become a squib.
After the aftermath of the explosion, the building was intact, and even Lucy, who had been detonated as a bomb, remained stunned.
Instead of dwelling, Domination fled the place as quickly as possible.
At the same time, it felt a strong sense of humiliation in its heart - it was scared away by a mere human!
It desperately moved away from the building and burrowed into the cracked plants.
The plant swallowed it and quickly disappeared into the night.
When the world in its eyes changed, Domination confirmed that it was back in the world made of plants, and suddenly it gasped violently like a living human, and then it felt the emptiness in its heart.
A hole traversed its body.
For the consciousness body, this should not be a fatal injury, they have no substance, and can rely on consciousness to fill the vacant part at any time, but this time, after repeated attempts to fail, it finally unwillingly realized that a certain part of itself has completely disappeared.
Fear of the unknown wells up in my heart.
It was the only attack other than Psionic Storm that could reach them, and it couldn't understand what secrets those waving fists were hiding, but if it weren't for the short time Hogg was able to stop, and his own limited mobility, he would have been seriously injured this time.
"You're hurt."
The voice of the ancient tree beside him was as cold as ever, "I have advised you not to make too much noise in District 1, the Father has said that there may be something unknown hidden in this city besides the enemies we have seen. β
"You don't have to."
Not to be outdone, Domination responded, quickly realizing that it was not Hogg's own doing, but that the devil had done it.
It's just that it doesn't understand why that devil would really lend his power to an ordinary person.
In addition to resentment, strong jealousy arose in its heart.
It was startled by the sudden surge of emotion.
"Domination" strengthened his spirits and said unconvinced, "I'm about to crack the secret of his abilities." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the same time, psychiatric hospitals.
"Mr. Hogg, what just happened? Am I dreaming now? β
Lucy asked cautiously.
She heard the deafening roar and felt the process of her body being torn apart by the aftermath of the explosion, but when she came back to her senses, she found that everything seemed to be just an illusion, and she was still standing in place.
The demon in the room was gone.
Holes appeared in the wall in front of Hogg, through which the dim moonlight was shining into the room.
"Here's the reality."
After a while, Hogg replied to Lucy without looking back, "It fled." β
He also had a very unreal feeling in his heart, when the explosion sounded, he felt that his body was more like taking the initiative, he was just following the guidance of instinct, in fact, even Hogg himself didn't know that the psionic bomb had become a squib, and he couldn't understand the other ability shown by the stand-in for a while.
And he couldn't think any longer.
An unprecedented feeling of exhaustion came over me, perhaps the after-effects of overdraft.
"Lucy, I might have to recuperate for a while."
Before losing consciousness, he found himself still having to pin his hopes on the unreliable Rob Luci, "Go to Rob Luci, he knows the secret about the stand-in messenger." β
"Mr. Hogg? Mr. Hogg! β
He heard Lucy's anxious cries.
Now, he just wants to close his eyes and get a good night's sleep
β¦β¦
At this moment, Song Lan, who was in the bank transportation company, was trying to explain his ability to Lu Xiang.
And this is also related to the true mystery of the invincible heart piercing hand knife in the universe.
In fact, when he accidentally killed Mr. Chai Ke for the first time, he didn't understand the true principle of this skill.
Lu Xiang was behind him, watching him move his fingers that had sunk into the wall out of the hole he had poked.
She reached out to probe the damaged part of the wall and was surprised to find that even the bulletproof coating inside had been destroyed.
You must know that Song Lan is neither a prosthetic implanter nor a physical modifier, coupled with his weak physical strength, it is impossible to poke a hole in the wall with his hands, this scene makes her think of those corpses with pierced chests, among which Chai Ke's entire chest cavity has been transformed by prosthetics, and even heavy fire weapons may not be able to penetrate him directly.
It was hard for Lu Xiang to imagine how strong he needed to be to punch Chai Ke's chest out of a hole in his chest.
"It's the effect of the destructive psyker."
"You mean, you didn't punch them through the chest?"
"Of course not, I just happened to put my hand in that place."
After getting along with Lu Xiang for so long, Song Lan's theoretical level has also improved, "If a certain part of my body is still in a state of overlapping with a certain object after the ability is activated, it will cause such a result." β
And he has temporarily lent Hogg the way to use the destructive psionic energy, "When different time and space are dislocated, objects in overlapping states will be swept into turbulence, even consciousness is no exception. β
The ability to stop the time of the entire world for 2 seconds, combined with the means to win with one hit, makes Mr. Hogg's "stand-in" intact.
Lu Xiang was silent.
As she had said before, Song Lan's ability was the most incomprehensible she knew, and even if he said the effect of the ability activation to his face like he was now, it would be a little difficult to understand.
"So, Director, you should be able to understand what I mean by now, right?"
The eyes are facing each other.
After a moment, Lu Xiang asked suspiciously, "You mean the use of destructive psionic energy?" β
"Nope."
Song Lan shook her head and said, "According to this theory, in fact, Mr. Chai Ke, Mr. Dorago, and Ms. Fei Yin all died from the phenomenon of time and space turbulence, which should be an accident. β
