Chapter 6: The Jedi Strikes Back
"Place tick poison to get wishpower?"
After a short analysis, Ji Xiu wanted to understand the reason and how to obtain the power of willingness.
If he is not mistaken, as long as he accomplishes the goal expected by the original owner of the dispossessed body, he can obtain the power of will.
To put it simply, it is to fulfill the wishes of those who have been taken away.
Before Tong Wan was taken away by him, there was a tick infestation in the rented house, which made him very distressed, so he asked his parents to apply for tick poison.
Placing tick poison was something that Tong Wan wanted to do before he was taken away, but he didn't have time to do it, and he completed this goal through Tong Wan's body, so he gained 2 points of wishing power.
This explanation can also match the literal meaning of the word "willingness".
Spending Wish Power can be used to snatch the skills of the person who has been taken away, or to activate the special power hidden in the body of the original owner of the body.
The information that poured into his mind also made Ji Xiu understand why he didn't take his body after being killed by the man in black in the mask.
There is a line of data on the natal soul information that comes to mind, which says that his soul strength is 8 points, and the suffix information is:
(Only the target's soul strength of 8 and below can be discarded).
It can be seen that the Mask Killer who killed him had a soul strength of more than 8 points, which led to his failure to take it, and because of some unknown factor, everything returned to the origin of his first crossing.
This problem can be solved by leveling up to enhance the strength of the soul.
Every 100 Wish Power consumed, the Soul Strength can be strengthened.
As long as he has enough willpower, there is no body in this world that he can't give up.
After understanding the effect of the natal soul body, Ji Xiu thought of a question, how should he leave the world shrouded in mist.
As soon as this thought rose in his mind, the gray fog around him dissipated automatically.
A strong pull came from all directions.
After a long time, Ji Xiu, who was sitting in the center of the sacrificial formation, opened his eyes.
Outside the window, the siren sounded, and he got up to the floor-to-ceiling window, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked down, and the Starlight Building opposite was surrounded by police cars.
"Good death."
The killer on the rooftop has been winged, but his crisis has not been resolved.
Just as Ji Xiu was about to go back to the bedroom to hide, and then wait for the law enforcement officers to come to protect him, there was a loud noise at the door, and when he turned his head, he saw that the door panel was split and flying, and a burly figure crossed the threshold and walked into the house from the dust.
The man was nearly two meters tall, with a hideous monster tattooed on each arm, a black vest on his body, and muscles bulging all over his body, and his eyes were directed at him at this time.
On top of that, the burly man broke down the door without any tools in his hands, which proves that he relied on pure physical force to break down the door.
Above the burly man's head, a red halo floated.
"Sure enough......."
Seeing the burly man, Ji Xiu was not surprised.
He had long expected that the killer who came to assassinate was not Li Tan alone, and now Li Tan's mission on the rooftop failed, and the second stage of assassination came.
But Ji Xiu didn't panic.
It's not his style to be restrained, and he decisively pulls back the curtain behind him, trying to deter the killer by exposing it.
To his surprise, the burly killer was unaffected and continued to approach with an indifferent expression.
"Do you have to talk about it?"
The killer didn't answer his question, his eyes cold.
There is no way to avoid it.
Glancing at the clock hanging on the wall, Ji Xiu took the initiative to run towards the killer, and his eyes were aimed at the door.
The burly man also reached out and grabbed him.
Ji Xiu made a sliding shovel on the spot, trying to break through from the left side of the killer, but before the sliding shovel could slide up, he was grabbed by the neck by the burly killer, dragged from the ground like a chicken, and lifted in front of him.
"Click!"
The crisp sound of a broken neck sounded, and the sight in front of Ji Xiu's eyes was instantly shrouded in darkness.
Before he died, the thought that came to his mind was:
It is said that the villain dies because he talks a lot, and sure enough, the villain who doesn't talk much is the most murderous.
Consciousness gradually sank into darkness, and after an unknown period of time, light emerged from the darkness.
Opening his eyes suddenly, Ji Xiu knew that he had returned to the original point again.
When the white fog in front of him cleared, his eyes scanned the surroundings.
The intact door, the blood-smeared sacrificial ritual, the scabbed wound on the left wrist, the dagger on the ground...... Looking up at the rooftop of the Starlight Building opposite, the mirror reflection flashed away.
“6。”
It's unclear why time is reset after death, but at this point, the most important thing is how to avoid assassination.
Otherwise, he will be trapped in an infinite cycle of being killed and resurrected.
Standing up, Ji Xiu first closed the curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and then decisively called the police, this time he asked the law enforcement officers to come to the door as soon as possible to protect his safety.
Hang up the phone, pick up the dagger and go to the door, and look out through the cat's eye.
There was no one in the hallway, and it was not clear where the number two killer was hiding.
But Ji Xiu believes that as long as he dares to go out, he will inevitably be greeted by death.
As for resistance, in the face of the absolute power gap, without the help of firearms and equipment, frontal resistance can only delay the time for death to come.
Look up at the clock hanging on the wall.
The last time he died was at 5:23, so it was concluded that there were about 12 minutes before the arrival of the second killer, and the law enforcement officers would also come to the downstairs of the Starlight Building at about this time, and because of his alarm, some of them might be drawn to protect him.
How to evade the pursuit of the killer before the arrival of the law enforcement officers, Ji Xiu fell into deep thought.
The room he was in was on the 17th floor, and there was no other way to leave except for jumping off the building and the main entrance.
Choosing to hide can delay a limited amount of time, and there is a high probability that he will be killed before the law enforcement officers arrive, after all, Killer No. 2 will not listen to his nonsense to delay time.
After thinking about it, the only thing that could bring a chance of survival was to lay out in advance in the house and ambush the second killer.
With an idea, Ji Xiu began to rummage through the room for tools that he could use.
Turning around, he found a bag of flour in the kitchen and immediately had an idea.
Killer No. 2 can easily smash the door of the house, his physical fitness is beyond ordinary people, and he can not compete with daggers and kitchen knives, and even if it is a sneak attack, his chances of winning in melee combat are extremely low.
But flour is different, this thing can be used as a bomb.
Because the dust is in contact with the air in large area, the chemical activity is strong, it will adsorb more oxygen molecules, and the process of oxidation and heating will be very rapid, as long as one of the particles of dust is ignited by the fire, it will be like a domino chain reaction, causing an explosion.
This is much more useful than a dagger and a kitchen knife.
With an idea, Ji Xiu began to get busy.
He first took a basin, spread the flour evenly on the face plate, propped it up at the top of the door with a stick, and found a rope to connect it with.
Then he grabbed a lighter and stood a short distance in front of the door and waited.
After 11 minutes, Ji Xiu looked up at the clock and clenched the metal lighter in his hand.
After the explosion, he had very little time left.
Bang!
The sound of kicking the door sounded, and Ji Xiu violently pulled the rope in his left hand, and suddenly the wooden stick was withdrawn, and the basin full of flour fell.
White dust is blowing.
Rumble!
The door shattered and flew sideways, Ji Xiu decisively threw out the kerosene lighter in his hand, and after spinning several times in the air, it came into contact with the dust in the air.
The spark spreads instantly.
Rumble!
The heat wave from the explosion swept in with wind pressure.
Ji Xiu turned around decisively, even though he was far away, his back was still burned.
Fighting back the pain, he turned and rushed to the door as soon as the explosion was over.
What he saw was the burly killer whose skin was burned red, and at this time, he was visibly frightened, and took several steps back in succession.
Just as Ji Xiu guessed, the physical fitness of this No. 2 killer was terrifying, and he only suffered minor burns in the face of the explosion, which did not affect his actions.
Fortunately, the explosion bought Ji Xiu time, and he took this opportunity to cross the threshold with his short body, and went straight to the second killer, and went straight to the elevator door that was closing.
Bang!
The body hit the wall in the elevator, Ji Xiu decisively turned around and pressed the door close button of the elevator and the first floor.
Bite!
When the elevator door was completely closed, Ji Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everything was just right.
Before rushing out of the room, he imagined two possibilities.
First, the fact that he had not observed any figure in the aisle through the cat's eye before proved that the killer had come by the elevator later, and as long as the timing was right, he could seize the opportunity to take the elevator and leave before the elevator door closed.
Second, if the elevator door is closed, or the killer did not come by elevator, choose a safe passage to escape.
In contrast, the second method of escape is more dangerous.
will inevitably be pursued by the number two killer, and may not have a chance to escape.
Fortunately, everything was expected, and he managed to enter the elevator.
Looking at the elevator floor going down, Ji Xiu wiped a handful of sweat overflowing from his forehead, and the burning sensation on his back didn't seem to hurt so much.
This feeling of a desperate turnaround can only be described by the word "cool".
Escaping from the desperate situation, he can then use Han Yun's identity to investigate the secrets of the sacrificial ceremony.
Compared with the roundabout investigation of using Tong Wan's identity as a law enforcer, it is obviously more efficient to use Han Yun's identity to investigate himself.
Thinking that he might be able to return to Earth soon and live a happy life of collecting rent and lying down again, Ji Xiu's face was filled with a smile unconsciously.
"I can't stay in this broken world for a moment."
Bite!
The elevator came to a stop on the first floor, and after a brief feeling of overweight, the elevator doors opened to both sides.
Ji Xiu wanted to walk outside, but when he saw the scene outside, his pupils suddenly contracted.
I saw a red and black arrow shooting from a distance, constantly magnifying in front of my eyes.
Time seemed to slow down for a moment, and he could clearly see the trembling of the arrow's body as it advanced, and the surface of the arrow glowed with black metallic luster under the light.
Boom!
Ji Xiu's head leaned back, and the back of his head collided with the elevator wall under the impetus of inertia.
"Good archery ......!"
Sharp pain came from his forehead, and he knew that he had been hit by an arrow in the bull's-eye.
The picture in front of me is like a black curtain drawn at the end of the opera, gradually engulfed by darkness.
