Chapter 273: You'll Never Be Able to Climb This Step
Temporary break room.
"Hey."
【Haneda Sayoko Throwing Test 20/20 Success】
Bored Sayoko yawned. She threw a dart that landed just a little distance away from the heart.
Considering the power to save the generator, Sayoko didn't fiddle with her phone, but relied on playing darts to pass the time.
Today, she and Qin Lingxue were in charge of the vigil, but their boss Chen Qiang, who seemed to be never tireless, took all the work on himself, leaving the two girls somewhat idle.
"What's wrong, Xiaoxue?" Sayoko found that Qin Lingxue seemed to be in a daze, staring at the air between Sayoko and the target.
"Nothing." Qin Lingxue replied.
She also picked up a dart, took aim, and threw it at a distant target.
[Qin Lingxue's throwing test failed 21/20]
【Burning Luck】
[Qin Lingxue's throwing test was successful 20/20, and the current luck is 74]
Sayoko blinked. The dart in Qin Lingxue's hand seemed to cut a strange arc in the air, and finally hit a place very close to the bull's-eye.
"Good head," Sayoko said in surprise, "and then it's my turn again." ”
Qin Lingxue stared at the bull's-eye.
No...... I'm not dreaming.
I did see the results of the dice, and I changed the number.
Chen Qiangshi only told his own power...... It really exists.
"This is for your safety," Chen Qiang's words were still in his ears, "I will gradually 'lend' this power to others in the future, but the first one will always be you, Xiaoxue." ”
It was exactly the same as what he said, Qin Lingxue thought to herself.
Indeed, Chen Qiang once gave her the ability to change the outcome of the dice in the game of "Christmas Carnival", which is exactly the same as the board game he taught himself.
But that's the game world, isn't it? It is precisely because it is a game world that the results of the "Skill Check" can be displayed.
And now, under Chen Qiang's "ability", Qin Lingxue saw the "dice" in the real world, and he didn't know whether the "dice result" reflected the facts that were happening, or whether the "dice counted" that created the realistic result.
“…… Is this your magic? ”
……
Through the "distribution of talents" of investigator talents, Chen Qiang can not only allow his investigators to temporarily obtain the "Investigator's Eye" to see the dice test in the real world, but also let the investigators use "Burning Luck" to "correct" the established facts.
Now, almost everyone is unconsciously protected by a talent like the "Friend of Shogues". However, for several active talents such as "Burning Luck", Chen Qiang did not achieve it overnight, but decided to show his strength step by step.
The employees of the "Fortress of Reason" have also fallen. Mrs. Megan, Helena, and a few mythical creature investigators will probably not easily accept that this ability to discern and distort reality is simply magical.
Maybe...... For Mi-Go, Is, or Ancients who do not believe in any particular deity, the abilities they have bestowed are more like a means for a god to protect his followers?
……
[Qin Lingxue's physical fitness test 36/55 was successful]
[Sayoko failed the physical examination 81/50]
Staying up late made Xiao Yezi look a little sleepy, but Qin Lingxue's spirit was not bad.
"This is ......" On the surveillance screen, Qin Lingxue discovered Xia Ni's invasion.
[Don't bother with it.] Chen Qiang's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and the hand that made her go to sound the alarm stopped.
……
At the end of the hallway, a distorted sound caught Mr. Shani's attention.
It was two low, humming, strange voice whistles.
"Myth...... Chronicles. ”
[Mr. Shani's Cthulhu Mythos with punishment failed 92/4]
No, it didn't look like a spell, the King of Shoguez, confused, and it didn't look like a human weapon or a technological device.
Over the long years, Mr. Shaney has understood "evolution" in his own way. To this end, he tried every means to participate in human civilization and create the conditions to increase the number of human beings as much as possible.
He founded empires, invented vaccines, improved agricultural technology, improved public health care, founded societies, published newspapers, established trading companies – human civilization was not created by him, but he worked hard to achieve it.
The fly in the ointment is that the poor learning ability of the Shoguels still plagues him. After the end of the 20th century, the information explosion made him a little uncomfortable with human society. It took years of practice to master complex knowledge, and the fast-paced cultural life was difficult for him to accept.
Maybe it's time to dedicate the entire human race to the "Witch of Dreams," thought Mr. Shani. This may have temporarily quelled her desire for infinite evolution. The King of Hughgoth has witnessed the history of mankind; And in his opinion, after obtaining the highest technology of the ancients, the chronicles of mankind will end at his hands sooner or later.
There is no doubt that the King of Shogues prides himself on his patience. No human weapon designer would attach a meaningless sound effect like "Mythic Chronicles" to a product, and there would be no sign of a spell.
"A self-inflicted, pointless trap." The king of Hughes made his judgment.
He walked towards the hall at the end.
However......
[Mythical Chronicles! 】
The "sound effect" sounded again—unlike the distorted roar of voices before, this time the voice was cold and high, directly in the deepest recesses of Mr. Shani's consciousness.
【Passage Achievement】
[This is the time for infinite achievements!] 】
“……”
No matter how outrageous and unclear the meaning of that line was, Mr. Shaney had to admit it......
The sound is the effect of some magic.
Maybe they're doing some kind of ritual, maybe ......
"Interesting."
The King of Shogues did not flinch. Without hesitation, he walked into the hall that had been converted from a factory.
It's extremely spacious, with ceilings three stories high. In the center is a sunken pool of bottles and jars of discarded chemicals.
Mr. Shani, however, was fixed on the top of the stairs that led to the heights.
"You ......"
A man in black armor covered his body with a strange light pattern stood at the top of the staircase, looking down on Mr. Shani.
Beside him, there were two guards who looked like followers, dressed in brass armor.
"Ah...... Found out. An item that even the 'Dream Witch' is concerned about. ”ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
Mr. Shaney noticed the belts of the three at a glance. On the delicate metal belt, there is a device in the shape of a USB flash drive.
There is no doubt that this belt is what Miss Yi asked him to obtain by name.
How lucky, Mr. Shaney thought. I thought there would only be one, but who knew that three appeared in one go.
Give one to Miss Yi, and you can take at least one of them...... Mr. Shaney said to himself.
The guy in the center looked dangerous—his hem and cloak fluttering in the wind, and he looked like a high-ranking character, perhaps the leader of the traversers entrenched here. On the other hand, the brass armorers with the other two minions lacking facial features have the feeling of a miscellaneous fish, and they seem to be guys who are not very high in combat effectiveness.
The target is them!
"It's you. Albert Shani ...... "Just listen to the masked man in the center making a high-pitched voice.
"I want to make a deal with you." Shani said. I don't know if the other party can mass-produce this thing, but the King of Shogues doesn't mind saluting first and then soldiering.
Chen Qiang in the form of exoskeleton armor let out a sneer.
"Deal? No, Albert Shaney, you don't recognize where you stand. So be it......"
Chen Qiang pointed to the stairs in front of him.
"As long as you can climb this staircase and walk in front of me, I will agree to negotiate with you," Chen Qiang said, "but you will never be able to climb this staircase." In other words, you can't take half a step up the stairs. ”
