Chapter 227: I Originally Liked Zoroac... I like it even more now (8k)
Xia Chen was a little surprised by Crimson's choice.
So quickly for Pikachu to use the Electric Flash Charge again?
He had thought that Crimson would be maneuvering for a while before he could figure out how to crack the shadow clone tactics, or replace it with another elf...
Or has he already thought of a way to break the move?
That's how it should be.
The reckless version of Crimson is not capable of reaching the finals of this tournament without forming a crushing state of absolute strength.
So, what's the way to crack the crimson?
Xia Chen didn't have mind reading skills, so he naturally couldn't guess the opponent's thoughts, but now that the situation is dominant, he has no reason to give up the existing tactics for unknown reasons.
Secretly raising vigilance in his heart, Xia Chen silently watched every detail on the battlefield, ready to command on the spot at any time.
on the battlefield.
Although he was not lightly injured, Pikachu relied on his strong willpower to still approach Senbu at the same speed as before.
And Xianbu also repeated his old tricks, and laid down a "formation" composed of his own body and two clones.
False and false, real and false, just from the appearance, even Xia Chen, who is very familiar with Xianbu, can't tell the difference.
Seeing that Pikachu was only a dash away from the nearest senbu, Crimson finally gave the order.
"Pickup, use the grid!"
Xia Chen raised his eyebrows, wanting to use range-type moves to disperse Xianbu's clone?
Thinking so simply, isn't it a little too despised for yourself and Xianbu?
He immediately responded: "Xianbu, run in three directions!" ”
Xianbu understood, and immediately manipulated the body and the clone to run in different directions.
Xia Chen wants to play psychology with Crimson.
Crimson, who is at a disadvantage, only has a one-third chance of making the right choice, and once the choice is wrong, the remaining two Senbu, one true and one false, will attack Pikachu at the same time.
And even if Pikachu guessed correctly and hit the real Yin Bu with the power grid, she would return the favor with the power of the earth.
In short, Crimson may earn, but I, Xia Chen, will never lose!
"Pickup, the one closest to you!"
The crimson voice made Xia Chen retract his thoughts.
He stared intently at the court, slightly expectantly awaiting the outcome of Pikachu's guess.
Because, he doesn't know which one is the real fairy cloth...
……
The electric sac on Pikachu's cheek crackled, emitting a hint of electricity, a precursor to his electric moves.
In an instant, the energy of the electric system converged on the tip of the tail, and the bright yellow electric ball condensed in an instant.
"Pickup!"
With a slight twist of Pikachu's buttocks, the lightning-like tail struck the ball of electricity towards Senbu, who was only a few steps away from him.
The electric ball stretched out in the air, turning into a large net formed by electricity, covering the immortal cloth that could not be dodged.
The immortal cloth phantom composed of energy was shattered in an instant.
It's fake!
Xia Chen, who was watching this scene from the sidelines, also breathed a sigh of relief, although he won no matter what, but the big win was still a small win, and he definitely still wanted to win more.
Xianbu can not be hurt by this is not low, and the power grid that will slow down is naturally better.
But you guessed it wrong... Now it's time for my turn, right?
For the immortal cloth on the battlefield, Xia Chen has the same heart.
One true and one false, the two senbu turned around at the same time, and the power of the earth was used, and the ground under Pikachu rumbled again, seeing that he was about to be hit by the power of the earth of Xianbu again.
At the last moment, Crimson suddenly shouted: "Pickup, jump up with the power grid!" ”
Xia Chen was stunned, aren't you red? Why Ash's mastery you will too!
…………
"Wrong bet! Crimson and Pikachu are about to pay a terrible price for this reckless attempt! Eat the second power of the earth, even this Pikachu shouldn't be able to stand it... Wait a minute! ”
"Oh my God, what do I see? Pikachu used the power grid that still existed on the ground as a springboard, and flew up for a short time, evading the power of the earth that Senbu almost certainly hit! ”
"It's not over yet, it's both a dodge and an attack! After Pikachu bounced up with the power grid, he pounced on Senbu, who had just released the power of the earth, and his lightning-like tail had already turned metallic, Iron Tail! ”
Although Xia Chen was indeed engrossed in the battle on the field, he still didn't react to Crimson and Pikachu's commotion.
The main thing is that the power of the earth has been fought out at that time, and it is too late for Xia Chen to change anything.
He already regretted that he had just used the power of the earth, and if it was a magic flash with a larger explosion range, even if you flew into the sky, you would have taken some damage.
I thought it was a win, but it was just a question of a small win or a big win, but in the end, I lost everything...
Looking at this iron tail falling from the sky, Xia Chen decisively commanded: "Xianbu, dodge backwards!" ”
Pikachu is only temporarily taking off from the power grid and does not actually fly, and certainly cannot change the established gliding trajectory.
After simple junior high school math calculations, you can get the exact landing point of Pikachu.
Xia Chen originally thought so, but the skin god is the skin god after all, after discovering that Xianbu escaped from the original strike range, Pikachu actually sent out an electric current backwards a moment before landing, and kept up with Xianbu through the reaction force!
Pikachu's speed is already faster than Senbu's, not to mention the dual reaction force of the power grid and the current to accelerate.
Unable to dodge, Xianbu simply charged on the spot and hit a high-speed star stop loss.
Bang –
The explosion of the high-speed star suddenly sounded on Pikachu's body, but it couldn't stop Pikachu from swinging his iron tail.
The lightning-like tail with a metallic luster slammed down on Xianbu's body, as if something was falling, accompanied by a rich and pure steel energy, and the majestic power of the iron tail made Yin Bu, a fairy who was fragile in physical defense, snort.
The slender legs were almost bent to an acute angle under the weight, and Xianbu almost didn't fall directly to the ground.
But the enhancement of the ability props and her tenacious will allowed her to withstand the pressure, and also gave her a chance to fight back after a heavy blow.
"Senbu, loud voice!"
Pikachu's flying attributes from time to time made Xia Chen dare not use the power of the earth anymore, and at such a close distance, the damage of the loud voice was not much different from the power of the earth.
Xianbu's expression condensed slightly, and he quickly surged up his throat with energy.
Pikachu is definitely in a state of poor physical strength after continuously using the electric flash, the power grid, the iron tail, and even that electric current, and she wants to take advantage of this time to minimize his state!
…………
"Although the size of the two elves is small, the pace of the battle is very fast, and after eating the iron tail with a muffled voice, Xianbu immediately counterattacked, loud! At such a close distance, it is absolutely impossible to dodge! Pikachu is in danger now... Oh - the Crimson took Pikachu back! ”
"Although this is undoubtedly a chance to strengthen Xianbu's meditation, it is better than eating a loud voice, who will the red player choose to replace... Sure enough, the Kirby Beast, which has extremely high special defense... Eh, wait, Xia Chen didn't choose to strengthen Xianbu, he also chose to change the elf! It's Shanaiduo! ”
"No, or... Zoroac, who transformed into the shape of Shanaido? ”
Crimson was also thinking about it.
It stands to reason that the special defense of the Kirby Beast is much higher than the physical defense, and Xia Chen must be the best to fight with Soroark.
But Xia Chen... It's very cloudy.
The first time I fought him more than a year ago, Crimson understood it deeply, what if she predicted her own prediction?
Bai Mu's painful experience in the morning semi-finals was red in his eyes, and he guessed whether it was Soroak or not, but gave Soroark a chance to strengthen, and was finally pushed to the team.
So there's no need to think, and there's no need to gamble.
Whether it's Shanaido or Zoroac, a move that can deal damage can be tried.
Finishing his thoughts in a hurry, Crimson commanded, "Kirby, step hard!" ”
Since Kirbymon learned the advanced version of the earthquake, the lower substitution move Crimson, which has a similar positioning and is less powerful, has been rarely used.
But small also has small benefits, although small, but fast.
Compared to an earthquake, the speed at which the trample is released is nearly half that of a stomp, which is perfect for testing.
But I saw that Kirbymon raised its legs slightly, and then stepped down, with a simple movement, half of the battlefield trembled slightly because of its huge strength.
The earthy yellow ground energy was injected, and with the invisible ripples rippling in circles on the ground, it surged towards the standing and motionless Shanaiduo, who seemed to be strengthening as soon as he appeared.
Although the distance between the two elves was not short, the speed of energy transmission was extremely fast, and after a short time, the first energy fluctuation of the heavy step came to the feet of Shanaiduo.
In an instant, a gray mist emerged from around Shanaido and spread, covering her body.
Looking at this scene, the scene and all the viewers in the live broadcast room seemed to be breathing at this moment.
The long-awaited true appearance of Zoroark is finally coming?
…………
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the gray mist that covered the figure slowly dissipated, and an elf that no one had ever seen before appeared on the battlefield.
Its body is roughly similar to that of Soroark, with a fox face and a humanoid body.
But in terms of exterior color, the two are very different.
Unlike the dark gray color of the evil Zoroac, this Zoroac is similar to snow and has a grayish-white color with dark spots.
The crimson "single ponytail" fluffy and tied up at the back of the head also spread out, and the clumps of pink and white gradient hair swayed like flames without wind.
Her blood-red eyes suddenly opened, with an air of arrogance.
Compared to the evil Zoroac, it is more mysterious and handsome.
Two seconds after the ghost Soroyak appeared, the stagnant air in the audience instantly boiled.
"!
What a new version of the ship Soroark! ”
"I still like Zoroark... I like it even more!
”
"Tender and handsome! This look, this look, it pokes me so much! ”
"I announce that Koga Ninja Frog has been downgraded from the handsome No. 1 position in my heart to the second!"
"Woo woo, how did you make Zoroya evolve into Zoroark of the ghost system, Xia Chen, tell me!"
"It's useless to know, I can't afford Zoroya."
"As long as you tell me how Zoroac evolved, I will agree with you and Sirona!"
"I'm a schoolboy, pass it to me, and I'll exchange it for a green caterpillar! (Arrogant)"
At this moment, regardless of the region or environment, tens of millions of people watching the live broadcast of the game were shocked by the ghost Thoroark.
Even academic celebrities such as Dr. Ohki, Dr. Kuki, and Dr. Burratano are the same.
Xia Chen, he has really discovered a new elven evolution branch!
At the moment, people who don't know the truth still regard this as an evolutionary branch rather than a regional form.
But it doesn't matter, handsome is done!
In the studio, the narrator and Sirona's eyes were also full of amazement, but Sirona had more of a relieved smile.
The narrator sighed: "Viewers who are watching the live broadcast of the game, it is an honor that we will witness the history of the appearance of another new elf together, thinking about the last time, or... Well, it seems that it was just more than half a year ago, and it was also the fairy Yin Bu discovered by Xia Chen. ”
"Now that the elf research system is becoming more and more perfect, the evolution props and evolution methods have almost been exhausted, but Xia Chen can discover new elves with such efficiency... Such a talent is truly enviable. ”
"I hope that his elf research path is the same as the battle road, and he has just set sail, and I hope that he can bring more colorful elements to this world in the future, with him, it is the luck of the times!"
】
…………
After a short essay on the theme of sublimation, the narrator continues his work.
"The damage of the stomp is not high, but it still breaks through Zoroark's illusion disguise and causes some damage, and during this time, Zoroac has also successfully completed the strengthening of the sword dance."
"In the morning game, it can be seen that Zoroark's output is extremely high, although this game is definitely not so easy for her to dance twice, but Kirbymon's physical defense is weak, and Zoroark still has a good chance."
"At present, Zoroac does not have many exposed moves other than the Hidden Spirit Surprise Attack and the Shadow Sneak Attack, so let's see what she will do in the face of Kirbymon that is immune to the ghost attribute... Kirbymon strikes first, it's an earthquake! ”
"Zoroac opened the rift in the alternate space and dodged it with a subconscious attack, but the follow-up damage of this move is ineffective against Kirbymon... Is it really worth expending such a huge amount of energy just to avoid an earthquake? ”
The release of the Hidden Spirit Attack requires the destruction of the existing spatial structure, and the energy required to enter and exit the other space is even greater than teleportation.
Ordinary elite-level elves use up to three or four unwanted raids in a single game, and they are almost exhausted of the ghost-type energy.
Xia Chen's command really looked a bit wasteful.
Shirona explained, "Deconstructing the Sneak Attack is equivalent to [Hold] plus [Teleportation] plus [Shadow Claw], and achieving two of the three objectives is already beyond expectations. What's more, against Kirbymon, the ghost energy is not of much use, so this sneak attack is completely worth it. ”
Sirona analyzed that the situation on the battlefield had changed.
Before the earthquake struck, Zoroac had already burrowed into another dimension, leaving only the ground to bear the power of this powerful earthquake in vain.
Kirbymon squinted its eyes vigilantly as the anomalous space around it fluctuated, ready to respond to the Void at any moment.
Compared to Pikachu, Kirbymon is the other extreme, with rough skin and thick flesh, but extremely slow.
Mainly because of his size, he can't be fast if he wants to.
But speed and agility are not a concept.
It's like Senbu's absolute speed is not fast, but that doesn't prevent her from being able to dodge many moves with dexterity.
Similarly, the crimson Kirbymon is also a nimble fat man.
…………
"Soroark has emerged from the spatial rift! But instead of rushing close to Kirbymon, she stopped at a distance of about five meters. It's a clever distance, out of range of Kirbymon, but for Zoroac, it's just a split second. ”
"White light condensed on Zoroark's legs... Soroark is charged with a fighting move, kick down! Wow, this move is amazing, the greater the opponent's weight, the higher the damage, for Kirbymon, if you get a kick, it's definitely comparable to being hit in melee combat! ”
"Soroark is so fast! Kicking Kirbymon in less than half a second, she didn't want to give her opponent any chance to react... Oh my God, dodge! What do I see? Kirbymon, which weighed nearly half a ton, jumped up and dodged the kick? ”
"It's not over yet, the Kirbymon that dodged the kick immediately turned to attack, and his fat body pounced directly on Zoroyak, revealing the fangs under his honest appearance, and the evil energy lingered, which was bitten! The two elves pointed to each other, unceremoniously greeting each other with the most feared moves of their opponents. ”
"Obviously, Zoroac was wary of Kirbymon's counterattack, and he dodged Kirbymon's bite with a roll, and was about to relaunch an attack on Kirbymon lying on the ground, but Kirbymon rolled towards her position first."
"It's unimaginable that in the face of the extremely fast Zoroark, Kirbymon took the initiative to start a fast-paced hand-to-hand battle with his opponent! What's even more unimaginable is that Kirbymon is not falling behind at the moment! ”
Xia Chen stared at the scene on the court that was about to turn into the scene of the WWE game, and had a headache.
Crimson, this guy is also prepared...
Knowing that he would definitely not be able to compare with Zoroark in speed, he simply pulled her into the hand-to-hand combat field that he was best at, so that Zoroak had no respite at all.
And hand-to-hand combat with Kirbymon... There are few in the full elven illustrated book that can only be a heavyweight, how can Zoroac be an opponent.
The so-called indiscriminate punching to kill the master is probably like this.
But Zoroak was already the best punch card among all his elves, and Xia Chen didn't want to drag this difficult guy to the back to solve it.
Wait, there's a move that seems to deal massive damage to Kirbymon, but it needs some foreshadowing.
With a rough plan in his mind, Xia Chen retracted his thoughts and commanded: "Zoroark, first open the distance!" ”
To catch a big fish, you have to put a long line.
…………
After a period of hand-to-hand combat, Xia Chen found that Zoroak, who was dancing with the sword, was still a little unable to withstand the strange power of the Kirbymon, so he chose to pull the distance and use long-range means to consume the Kirbymon... Divine power! What about the damage? ”
"Hurt... It doesn't seem to be very high.,There's no way.,Kirbymon's special defense durability is stronger than physical defense.,And Zoroark's enhanced attack power is also attack.,But if you keep hurting like this.,It's definitely cool.。 But how could the Crimson Player allow him to endlessly consume Kirbymon's state? He commanded Kirbymon to roll and rush over! ”
"The Crimson player is very smart, although Kirbymon walks slowly, but it is not slow to roll, the size is there, and the rolling Kirbymon is like a heavy bulldozer, constantly chasing after Zoroyak... I have to say that Kirbymon is really flexible, no matter which direction Zoroyak runs, under the command of the Crimson player, Kirbymon can immediately change direction, helpless, Zoroark can only fight. ”
After carefully performing a drama of "It's not that I want to fight you, it's you who have to force me to fight with you", Xia Chen finally naturally commanded Zoroac to face Kirbymon head-on.
"Zoroark, Cracker!"
Crimson didn't have any suspicions, from his point of view, Xia Chen really had no other way, only a weak fighting system, and the Kirby beast with high special defense and thieves was not something that Xianbu or Shanaiduo in the back row could handle.
While the effect of the Soroark Sword Dance is still there, now is the best opportunity.
It's just that Xia Chen thinks that this opportunity is in his arms!
Crimson lifted the brim of his hat and commanded in a loud voice: "Kirby, bite it!" ”
At this moment, the two elves who have been pulling since their appearance finally started their first head-to-head showdown.
The gray-white cursed fox pointed its feet on the ground and jumped high, and the white light on its right paw condensed.
On the ground, Kirbymon bared its fangs, its sharp teeth haunting gray-black evil energy.
The two elves did not dodge or dodge, and fearlessly rushed in the direction of their opponents.
…………
"Under the relentless pursuit of Kirbymon, the two elves finally started their first head-to-head confrontation, crackling and crushing each other, both of which are double the moves to restrain the opponent, look at the power of the two moves... It seems that Soroyak has a slight advantage, but it doesn't account for much, which is not good news for Xia Chen. ”
"We all say that Kirby's beast defense is weak, but that's only in terms of higher special defenses, which is still a lot higher than Zoroark's, not to mention his extremely high life strength. Although the ghost Zoroac is a newly discovered elf, judging from her speed and attack strength, her durability should not be high, and such a hard-fought battle is probably no match for Kirbymon... What do you think, Mr. Sirona? ”
The narrator threw the topic to Sirona, who hadn't spoken for a long time.
The blonde beauty groaned slightly, and said, "You're right, but Zoroac is an elf bred by Xia Chen, so I think maybe she'll bring us some surprises?" ”
Narrator: "......"
So the only reason why you are optimistic about Zoroac is that she is an elf cultivated by Xia Chen?
It's a bit of a collapse, Hirona Champion!
The commentator didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to continue to look at the situation on the field.
"The smell of gunpowder between the two elves is getting stronger and stronger, Kirbymon and Zoroac are still fighting hand-to-hand, and the state of both elves is visibly declining... But as time passed, the advantage of Kirbymon's deep physical strength became more and more obvious, and Zoroac seemed to be a little unable to support it! ”
"Hurry back! After all, it was Xia Chen who raised the white flag first, but although Zoroyak's performance was a little passive throughout the game, he still made a very big contribution. Wait, oh my! Zoroark, who was about to use the Rapid Twist to return to the Poké Ball, was single-handedly captured by Kirbymon! How is this done? ”
…………
"Well done, Kirby!"
Crimson, who has been calm and calm until now, can't help but applaud Kirbymon's wonderful performance just now.
From Kirbymon's appearance to the present, the tactics formulated before the game have finally been perfectly played.
Crimson understood that Xia Chen, the elf of Kirbymon, would definitely send Zoroac to deal with it, so he specially formulated this dogskin plaster style for Zoroark.
The most difficult point of this tactic is not how Kirbymon can defeat Zoroyak in hand-to-hand combat, but three points.
How do you force Zoroac into a situation where he has to fight Kirbymon hand-to-hand?
How do you keep Soroyak when she wants to retreat?
And, how to prevent Soroark's counterattack in a desperate situation?
Now, the first two points have been successfully completed, and only the last one is left.
quickly calmed down the excitement in her heart, and Crimson squinted slightly at the panting Zoroak on the field, and Xia Chen, who couldn't see her expression clearly behind her.
If Xia Chen wanted to keep Zoroark, then he would definitely not be able to stop him by taking it back directly with the Poke Ball.
And he still hasn't taken it back... There must be remnants of the idea of the last yin one's own hand.
So the more times like this, the more you can't let your guard down.
However, Crimson did not remind Kirby Beast at this time, this is Xia Chen's chance, and it is not his own chance.
He believed in Kirbymon's bond with himself.
Retracting her thoughts, Crimson continued to keep an eye on the situation on the battlefield.
After pulling back Zoroac, who wanted to quickly return to the Poké Ball, Kirbymon prepared to launch a final attack.
It's still those few moves, if you have a chance to make a mouth, you will use the most restrained opponent's bite to smash, and if you don't have a chance, you will hit the three farmer punches such as thunder and lightning punches.
Although there are not many tricks, hand-to-hand combat, just be practical.
And now that he has just captured Zoroak, it is the most opportune time.
…………
"Good chance, Kirbymon has bitten it! In Zoroac's state, it should be difficult to eat this bite... Wait, Soroyak seems to have hit the kick first! Zoroac hasn't used this move since the first time he used the kick and was dodged by Kirbymon, so he kept it until now to let Kirbymon let down his guard? ”
"And now, Kirbymon is focused on attacking, and this is Zoroyak's last and best chance! In the state of Kirbymon, he will definitely not be able to receive this powerful kick! ”
"Oh - what do I see? Kirbymon's fat body jumped up and dodged again, oh my God, what an amazing reaction! No, this may not be a reaction, but a pre-expected first reading! You respect me a foot, and I pay you back! After the red player failed in the game with Xia Chen in the opening game, he was not discouraged and forced Soroyak into a desperate situation! ”
Zoroark didn't expect Kirbymon to be able to dodge almost certain kicks, and he couldn't even use the sneak attack, so he could only watch Kirbymon's fangs bite down. It seems that the first blood of the final is about to be born! ”
Watching Kirbymon's bite hit, the last boulder in Crimson's heart finally fell.
Xia Chen, the first elf leads, I will accept it!
The corners of his mouth curled into a smile, ready to listen to the whistle that represented the elf's loss of ability to fight, but he didn't realize that under Kirbymon, Zoroark's body suddenly emitted a burst of white light...
"Kirby—"
The expected whistle did not come, but the cry of pain from Kirbymon came to his ears.
The crimson boy shrank suddenly, and then looked at the battlefield in disbelief.
But in the remaining white light, the Kirby Beast, which was originally pressing Zoroark, seemed to have been hit by a force of ten thousand jun, and it hung upside down and flew up a full three or four meters!
Crimson had never seen her Kirbymon in such a situation.
This is a Kirby beast that weighs nearly half a ton!
How much strength does it take to fly a monster of this weight, and what kind of moves do you have?
Crimson frantically searched for an answer in her mind, and suddenly remembered a move that she seemed to have overlooked...
…………
"Double the payback!"
The narrator's originally clear voice was almost hoarse, but she still used her voice to vent her excitement at the moment.
"Crimson is pre-reading Xia Chen, why isn't Xia Chen pre-reading Crimson? Who is the hunter and who is the prey, until a certain elf falls, there is never a decision! Whether it's a quick return or a kick down, it's all Xia Chen's trap, he seems to have read through Crimson's thoughts, and eats him to death every step, this battle seems to be fought according to Xia Chen's script! ”
At the end of the shout, the narrator's voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak, so he had to stop.
Sirona intimately handed over a glass of water and continued: "Actually, it can't be said that it has been read through, it can only be said that Crimson's choice is a little radical, and Xia Chen's retreat is too much, just like when he hurriedly turned back, if Crimson lets Zoroac go back, this is an acceptable ending for both parties, but he doesn't, in his plan, Zoroac must fall into the hands of Kirbymon." ”
"Of course, it's not that the tactics of the red player are bad, if Xia Chen doesn't count the last step, then the bite will definitely finish off Soroark, but unfortunately there is no if..."
While drinking water, the narrator looked at Sirona with fan-like eyes, nodding her head frantically, not like a narrator, but like a student.
Helpless, Sirona had no choice but to continue: "If I guessed correctly, Xia Chen should be sure that Zoroak's physical strength can withstand the last bite when he asks Zoroac to use the rapid return, which is the most basic prerequisite for completing the game." ”
The referee gave the result, Kirby lost its ability to fight, and Xia Chen temporarily took the lead in the final with a score of 1:0. However, Soroak's form is also poor, and the game has not lost its suspense. ”
"The red player changed into a wonderful frog flower and prepared to collect the remnants, but Xia Chen didn't give him a chance at all, and he didn't even turn back quickly, and directly took back Soroak and replaced it with Shanaiduo."
"So at this point, the three spirits of the two players have been exposed, Xia Chen is Senbu, Zoroak and Shanaiduo, and the red players are Pikachu, Kirbymon and Wonderful Frog Flower."
The commentator looked at Sirona, who was explaining the game seriously, and suddenly smiled and teased: "Teacher Sirona, I found that you are very talented in commentary, how about it, do you have any ideas to join us?" ”
Sirona looked at the young man on the battlefield and smiled slightly, "There will be a day." ”
