0131 Question
"Finally willing to do it?"
Looking at the nails that had fallen in the hallway, and the back of Leon's bleeding hand, more than a dozen Scarface Directors couldn't help but pull the corners of their mouths in unison, revealing a rather strange smile.
"It seems that unlike the ability to probe souls, if you want to launch this invisible attack or defense, you have to pay a price, and that price is the skin on your body, right?"
Leon glanced at him, but remained silent, while Director Scarface continued to his own devices:
"After the bloody night of Lane, I went to the Lane family's manor to investigate, and even glanced at your injuries from a distance while you were unconscious.
In addition to those who committed suicide inexplicably, the cause of death of many corpses was destroyed by some invisible force, and you who were unconscious at the entrance of the manor, a large amount of skin on your body disappeared...... This is basically consistent with my reasoning."
Looking at Leon who was silent in the distance, more than a dozen Scarface Directors shook their heads, and then said slowly while replenishing the nails of their firearms:
"Even if you don't admit it, it's useless, the 'rules for use' of the offensive anomaly in your hand have been basically exposed after Ryan's home.
The man who gave me this ability once said that in the battle between anomalies and anomalies, intelligence and thinking are sometimes even more important than the power itself. No matter how powerful the ability is, as long as the intelligence is thoroughly understood, it will definitely be able to find a way to restrain it.
Coincidentally, you're a type with a long range, a high burst, and a high price, just perfectly restrained by my abilities, and I don't even need to do much, as long as I keep forcing you to use your abilities, you'll just 'kill' yourself, am I right?"
「……」
Looking at the scar-faced strong man in front of him who seemed to be mocking with his face, but in fact he was constantly tempting with words, Leon groaned for a while, and then silently released the horns of the black goat with his other hand.
The ability of [War Diagonal] can only take effect on things with souls, but the dozen or so scar-faced strong men in front of them are all empty shells, and they are naturally immune to the black goat's "provocation".
What's even more annoying is that the opponent's body is not in the dungeon, he can't leave the dungeon, and the power of the [Holy Spirit Pendant] can't be sent, so he can't directly kill his body, and several other anomalies are also useless.
So the current situation, as the other party said, is basically "checkmate", and can only be forced to constantly use the [Holy Spirit Pendant] to block the gun, consuming his flesh and blood and physical strength little by little......
"Leon! Let's get out of the interrogation room!"
Although she couldn't understand the "unscientific" way of fighting between the two, seeing that Leon didn't open her mouth to refute, the policewoman vaguely understood that what Director Scarface said might be right, and if it dragged on like this, Leon might be consumed alive.
Seeing that the scar-faced strong men on the other side of the corridor finished replenishing the nails and began to replace the gas tank, and seeing that a new round of shooting was about to start, she couldn't help but hurriedly say:
"Let's go! As long as we block the door, if he can't tear down the wall, he can come in one or two at a time, so he can delay a little longer!"
「……」
Wait a minute? Can't tear down the wall?
Leon was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately urged the Holy Spirit Pendant to exchange a small piece of skin again, killing all the scar-faced strong men at the other end of the corridor, and then turned his head and asked:
"Do you have any of those powerful explosives in your secret bureau?"
"Huh? Some! Every time the rebels are arrested, some of them will be confiscated and destroyed regularly, and the latest batch should not be sent away......
That's it!
After pushing the bodies of the scar-faced men to the ground and shutting up the entrance to the stairwell, Leon's face finally showed a slight smile.
Judging from the dozen or so empty shell bodies, the "abnormality" of the scar-faced strong man should have the ability to replicate in batches. Moreover, the guns in the hands of the dozen or so clones are exactly the same in shape and wear, so they should not be limited to living things, even dead things can be copied.
So, since he can copy a firearm, why not just copy the explosion
Thing?
If he really wanted to kill himself, it was obviously more convenient and effective to throw explosives directly into the dungeon than to shoot a little bit with a gun, but he would rather spend a lot of effort to get a dozen empty shells with guns than throw a bunch of replica explosives into the dungeon.
Except that he was a stupid person and didn't expect to be able to do this at all, the biggest possibility was to reduce the damage, and he was worried that throwing too many explosives would destroy the dungeon!
And the last thing the enemy wants is what he should do now!
……
Relying on the "reminder" of the female policeman, after vaguely finding a possible way to break the situation, Leon pulled her back to a corner, then took a deep breath and grabbed the Holy Spirit pendant on her chest hard......
"Boom!"
A violent collision sounded, and the nearest wall to the two was completely destroyed, turning into a large amount of broken masonry.
And this is just the beginning, under Leon's "transaction" at any cost, the invisible hammer formed by the Holy Spirit Pendant, like a high-speed heavy truck, ran over everything that could be destroyed in the dungeon.
With a deafening roar, not only the previous interrogation room, but also more than a dozen cells used for temporary prisoners were demolished one after another by the heavy hammer condensed by the Holy Spirit Pendant, and the entire dungeon was covered with ash and broken bricks, and the originally narrow and cramped corridor instantly became empty.
As if sensing an anomaly below, the empty shell corpse that had blocked the stairwell was blasted open in a burst of explosions, as if someone was trying to use explosives to clear the way.
But before the new Scarface Men could rush in, the last few walls of the dungeon had been torn down, and even the pillars used for load-bearing had been broken in two, and the southwest corner where the debris and tools were stacked had collapsed entirely......
"Ah! Why is the wall gone?"
"What's going on?!"
"It's going to collapse! Run!!
At the moment when the corner of the dungeon collapsed, something was finally broken, and the souls that originally only existed in the soul vision finally reappeared in front of Leon and the two.
Sure enough, I guessed correctly at the beginning, as long as I demolish the dungeon, I will probably be able to get out!
Looking at the scar-faced strong men who suddenly disappeared at the other end of the corridor, Leon couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then used the witch's broom to inspire a gust of wind, sweeping the flying dust in the dungeon towards the stairwell, and by the way, overturning all the panicked secret police and prisoners!
"Take them there and stay there!"
After pointing to the few load-bearing pillars that he had not dismantled, and asking the policewoman to take all the people in the dungeon there, Leon pinched the Holy Spirit pendant and ran towards the stairwell.
Unexpectedly, after most of the dungeon was demolished, the stairwell that was originally "infinitely looping" also became normal again, and after ascending from the stairwell, it was not another collapsed dungeon that appeared, but the empty first-floor hall of the Secret Investigation Bureau.
Is it the same as the previous dungeon?
Looking at the empty hall on the first floor, Leon couldn't help frowning, and was about to try if he could continue to go up, when he suddenly heard a warning from the black goat.
"Be careful!"
Leon, who received the warning, looked stunned, and immediately urged the Holy Spirit Pendant to condense a solid invisible wall around his body.
In the next moment, more than fifty firing nails hit it densely, and then they were bounced off one after another by the force of the pendant.
In the hall that was empty just now, one after another scar-faced strong men with guns appeared out of thin air, and these fierce-eyed "clones" not only shot from a distance, but some even threw away their guns and pounced directly, launching a fierce charge towards Leon who was standing in the stairwell......
Is that all?
Looking at the scar-faced strong men who rushed towards him, but were stopped by the Holy Spirit Pendant a meter away, Leon couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and instead of continuing to entangle them, he walked directly upstairs.
In addition to being very hidden, even the soul vision can't find any abnormalities, the other party's ability
With little direct combat power, it's no wonder that he was sent undercover.
What is really difficult is never the "dummies" and guns he reproduces, but the strange ability that connects the stairs up and down, making it impossible for him to leave.
It's just that that ability doesn't seem to be able to exist alone, and when the carrier is destroyed, the strange distortion will disappear directly.
So even if it is between the first floor and the second floor, it doesn't matter if it is "distorted" again, if it is dead, it will just be demolished again, and after basically figuring out the effect of the other party's ability, it is impossible for him to trap himself anymore.
And Lyon is clearly not alone in knowing this.
When Leon opened the "shield" and began to walk upstairs under the fire of dozens of guns, the scar-faced strong men showed a desperate look on their faces, and then they put down the guns in their hands one after another, and disappeared one after another.
By the time Leon climbed to the fifth floor and stepped out of the stairwell, the surroundings had returned to normal, the somewhat noisy Bureau of Secrets.
In the large conference room on the left-hand side of the fifth floor, several secret police officers seemed to be in a meeting, and there were heated arguments from time to time, and on the right-hand side was a semi-open office area, where two staff members struggled to push small carts and carried piles of files back and forth from desk to table, sweating and handing out documents.
Further inside, there is the office that the policewoman took her to visit, and the sign on the door that reads "Director's Office" is still the same, and even the people inside are still the same person.
The only difference is that the soul flame that was once full of hostility and murderous intent has now turned into a desperate and calm appearance, quietly waiting for its arrival.
……
Gave up?
Looking at the appearance of the soul flame, he didn't find the madness that ended up together, only regret, unwillingness, and a little relief, Leon couldn't help frowning slightly, and then walked over and pushed the door open.
"Congratulations, you've won."
Looking at Leon who pushed the door in, the strong man with the scarface actually smiled, and then calmly opened his mouth to invite:
"Would you like to talk to me?"
Before I die, I have a lot of questions for you, and I think you should be the same, but please slow down a little, after all, your abilities are so terrible, I don't want to betray my fellows.
If you suddenly ask the kind of question that I won't say, I'll kill myself right away and our conversation will be over, is that okay?"
「……」
After looking at the state of the other party's soul and finding that he really seemed to have a way to kill himself immediately, Leon did not rush to control him, but nodded and said:
"Yes, then one question per person, but let me ask first."
"Okay."
"That space-warping ability shouldn't be yours, so you must have other accomplices, so my question is, how much information about me did he take with him when he and the bandaged woman escaped?"
「……」
Are you sure this is "a" question?
After listening to Leon's first question, the scar-faced strong man said extremely speechlessly:
"Don't think I don't know, you can spy on the state of other people's souls and get answers through other people's reactions, so the front of your sentence seems to be stating, but in fact you are secretly asking questions!
You first asked if the warping ability was mine, and then determined if I had any accomplices, and then asked if they ran away together, and whether they brought information with them when they escaped, and finally how much information about you were taken away. It's not fair!"
"If you don't think it's fair, you don't have to answer."
「……」
If I don't answer, isn't that a loss?
Looking at Leon, who was expressionless in front of him, Director Scarface couldn't help but snort in annoyance.
If you die right now, you won't get anything, but after answering his question, you can ask another question, so it's either a question
Change five questions, or be prostituted for four questions by default, then it must be more cost-effective to exchange one for five.
"I didn't take much away, just some conjectures about your ability, and the basic information that the bureau can find, and then there is no more, what they took away this time is mainly other information, and the information about you is only incidental."
After answering Leon's question, Director Scarface took a deep breath and asked:
"My first question is, ...... upstairs in your Cleanup Bureau?"
"Don't ask."
After interrupting his question, Leon reached out and grabbed the Holy Spirit Pendant, stared at him and said:
"I'm sorry, I'm not going to answer any of your questions, but you can do it if you want to kill yourself."
"Huh?"
The scar-faced strong man opened his mouth in astonishment when he heard this, one face was first angry, then confused, and then dazed, and several emotions quickly changed, and finally turned into a full of incomprehension.
"You're going to cheat? But you can see through other people's souls, so you must be taking advantage of such an exchange of problems! And I'm ready to kill myself, even if I know the information, I can't bring it back, why do you do this?"
"I can tell you this."
Leon thought for a moment and replied:
"A senior who helped me a lot told me that no matter how advantageous it seems, don't easily exchange information with an enemy who can threaten you, unless he is dead and you are only preparing to kill yourself, not yet.
What's more, I don't know what the abilities of your accomplices are, what if their abilities are very special and there is a way to ask for information from the mouths of dead people? So I won't tell you anything until you're really dead."
「……」
"By the way, I also answered your question, right? According to our agreement, can I ask again?"
「……」
Ask your mom! I'm going to die right away!
Convex (艹)!
