Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 19: Wrong in and wrong out

The figure stood between the doors of the number, and was close to ten meters away from Shang Jianyao.

   He wears a dark peaked cap, a blue shirt and black trousers, and a pair of leather shoes are slightly old.

   At this time, the man was standing with his back against the wall, his hat pressed very low, almost covering his eyes.

   The shadow created by the brim of the hat was laid out, covering the entire face, so that Shang Jian Yao could only see the thin silver-black metal tube in his mouth.

   This thin metal tube is only one finger long, like a substitute for simple cigarettes.

   Shang Jian Yao's heart moved, he gave up the attempt to get the key, his knees were slightly bent, his waist and abdomen pressed hard, and he immediately entered a state of ready to go.

   At this moment, his eyes suddenly went dark.

   It's not that he fainted, but that the light around him seemed to be sucked away by something.

   Not only that, but he can't hear any sound anymore.

   Shang Jianyao's current state seems to have returned to the "Origin Sea", the first "island" he encountered.

   Complete darkness, complete silence, no one else exists except for himself.

   Familiar fears gushing out from his heart again, making him shiver slightly.

   Yue Qifan, who was standing against the wall, stood up straight and turned around.

   His head quickly lifted, and the thin silver-black metal tube held in his mouth was aimed at Shang Jian Yao.

   This is a blowing arrow.

Different from the simple blow arrows made by the wanderers on the surface of the wilderness, it has a relatively complex mechanical structure, driven by springs and mechanisms, so it is not one or two meters long, has high concealment, and does not require real blowing. , The tongue can be launched by pressing the button firmly.

   In a sense, this is actually not called blowing arrows, because it can be used with fingers.

   Its real name is "Dark Arrow".

  The reason why Yue Qifan used the most inconvenient mouth and tongue is because the sage told him that the target has the ability to make the hands unable to make movements.

   In that case, he doesn't use his hands.

   At the same time, he also knows the characteristics of the target's other two awakened abilities:

   One is similar to "hypnosis", but there must be dialogue, and the range of effect is very small. One can make people perform some irrational behaviors, and the effective distance is between four and eight meters.

   Based on this information, Yue Qifan strictly controlled the distance between the two sides.

He is currently close to 10 meters away from Shang Jianyao’s room, placing himself outside the effective range of the two awakened abilities of "conversational hypnosis" and "irrational behavior", while the one that "affects the movements of both hands" relies on "blow arrows". "To avoid it-every room here is two meters wide, so you can easily calculate the distance.

   The reason why he didn't choose a place further away was because of his three awakened abilities, the "dream journey" with the largest coverage could also affect humans no more than eleven meters away.

   Yue Qifan’s plan is:

   At the most suitable distance, he was the first to use the "dream trip", which relies on the ability to stimulate certain memories of the other party, and produce certain real illusions, so that Shang Jianyao fell into one of the states of fear, confusion, and dementia, thus temporarily controlling him.

   Then, blowing out a small arrow, anesthetize the other party, drag him into Room 196, and methodically use the "fragment memory erasure" the awakened ability to flip through the memory and erase all clues.

   This is the best plan that Yue Qifan has integrated based on his own abilities and the items on hand. After all, the matter was rushed, and the Saint Master’s orders came too quickly and suddenly, leaving him no time to make extra preparations.

   As for why he always keeps "blowing arrows", it is because he relies on this to restrain the price he pays to a certain extent.

   Actually, Yue Qifan is a little strange in his heart. In his opinion, it is better to leave this matter to Xiong Ming. A "cardiac arrest" is simply an excellent ability to kill people and destroy clues.

Perhaps the sages do not want to cause death anymore, for fear of attracting special attention from the company's senior executives, so they used me, an awakened person who can erase memories... Yue Qifan's thoughts flickered, predicting that Shang Jian Yao would wake up in time. In the direction of dodge, he pushed his tongue to the bottom mechanism of Blow Arrow.

   At this moment, Shang Jianyao, whose body was slightly rickety and trembling, suddenly laughed:

   "Good weak ability."

   At this moment, Yue Qifan was a little dumbfounded:

   "Why does he speak?

   "At this time, even if you are not affected enough by the'dream journey' and you have recovered in time, you should dodge or roll on the spot to avoid the next attack...

   "Why would he waste such precious time on talking?

  "This is not the response of a normal person at all.

   "Damn, why is he talking!"

   Yue Qifan's tongue just touched the "Blow Arrow" switch, and before he could exert any force, he lost the follow-up action.

   He opened his mouth with sweat on his forehead, and responded uncontrollably:

   "How can it be called weak?"

In the voice of   , the thin silver-black metal tube fell on the ground and jumped a few times.

   But Yue Qifan’s words did not stop because of this:

  "It will induce some of your memories and immerse you in a certain scene in the past.

   "If you design it properly, the links are closely intertwined, and you may even be confused between the real and the fake."

   Shang Jian Yao was startled when he heard:

   "Why do you respond to my sarcasm?

   "I just got my brain twitched."

   Before Yue Qifan could speak, he suddenly understood, haha ​​laughed:

   "The price you pay is that no matter what others say, you must respond?"

   "Do you think it would be that simple?" Yue Qifan "tact for tit".

   The sweat on his forehead is already dense.

  The price he paid was "self-discipline."

   But in fact, the price is not so serious. Yue Qifan just lacks self-discipline in one aspect.

   That aspect is called "arguing."

   As long as someone starts a topic, he can't help but argue and debate.

  Sometimes, even if he agrees with the other party's point of view, he can't control one or two small details and forcefully argue.

   He didn't think there was any problem with this, otherwise he would not have paid the price of "self-discipline", but over time, he found that the price was very dangerous.

   After all, it is not always suitable to have a conversation and argue.

   At an urgent juncture, one or two seconds may be able to decide life and death. It is simply not that he died fast enough to separate the mind and debate, and it will also make Yue Qifan's popularity worse.

   For this, he ordered this thin metal tube through the Order.

   As long as you hold it, to remind yourself constantly, Yue Qifan can control himself to a certain extent.

   and need to do secret actions, this "blow arrow" can be used as a weapon.

   Of course, the price cannot be completely avoided. Yue Qifan can only guarantee that as long as others do not talk about topics related to him, he can barely shut his mouth.

   This action he designed undoubtedly did not give the target a chance to speak.

   He also believes that no human being can avoid evasion or counterattack in the face of danger, and speak first.

  Who knows, he encountered such a strange thing today.

   And this strange thing is still taunting him.

   How can this be tolerated?

   At this time, Shang Jianyao, who asked Yue Qifan rhetorically, made a second round of response.

   "Is it your price for your stiff mouth?" When Shang Jianyao spoke, his ankles, knees, and lower back all exerted force at the same time, and he pounced on Yue Qifan like a beast.

   He wants to narrow the distance between the two sides.

  Suddenly, Shang Jianyao felt his body lose balance in an instant.

   For him, similar actions are simply a piece of cake, and there will not be a single mistake a hundred times.

  Who knows, today I lost my balance in the air somehow.

boom!

   Shang Jian Yao fell to the ground.

   "Truth doesn't need tongue." Yue Qifan took out another tube of "secret arrow" from his pocket.

  He prepared more than one weapon!

   While speaking, Yue Qifan pressed the mechanism with a smile on his face.

   His third awakened ability is:

   "Balance disorder"!

  The effective range is six meters.

  Shang saw Yao rushing over like this, hitting his arms.

   Of course, he didn't want this kind of development at first, because at this distance, the target's awakening ability can also play a role.

   Fortunately, this change is very beneficial to him.

With a whistle, a small metal arrow shot out and went straight to Shang Jian Yao on the ground.

   Shang Jian Yao only had time to change his position slightly, avoiding the vitals of his head.

  噗!

   The small metal arrow was inserted from his left shoulder to his chest.

   Shang Jianyao immediately struck a carp and stood up, showing no signs of being paralyzed.

   Facing Yue Qifan's surprised gaze, he drew the small arrow, threw it to the ground, and said with a smile:

   "I have been wearing body armor all this time!"

   Although the deaths of Wang Yafei and Shen Du obviously did not belong to a shooting, Jiang Baimian was given a body armor to each team member after Shang Jianyao formally intervened in this matter for safety.

—— Within "Pangu Biology", firearms and ammunition are strictly controlled. Jiang Baimian organizes live ammunition training must be reported in advance and follow the cumbersome process. However, bulletproof vests are not only easy to apply, but also only for the team If it is equipped, the team leader can have the final say.

   "Coward." Yue Qifan argued forcibly.

  While speaking, he suddenly turned around and was about to run away.

   In this situation, he feels that he has no chance of winning.

   As for how to finish it later, leave it to the holy master to worry about!

   But, as soon as Yue Qifan turned his body, a strong emotion emerged in his heart:

   How can you escape?

   How can you just give up like this?

   How can you leave so embarrassingly?

   With his thoughts floating, he turned back to his body and rushed towards Shang Jian Yao.

   His dark brown eyes seemed to turn into pure black.

   Almost at the same time, Shang Jianyao only felt that invisible things in his mind expanded.

   They rise into the sky like stars, densely covering all the surrounding areas.

   And in every "star", there is a life that Shang Jian Yao has experienced.

   At this time, a ray of light penetrated from outside, carrying a "star" across the sky, and fell into the illusory "sea of ​​origin".

   Shang Jian Yao's brows suddenly frowned, seeming to be confused about what he was doing now.

   Yue Qifan also woke up, his pupils suddenly enlarged:

   "Fuck, why didn't I escape?

  "In turn, he used the ability of'fragment memory erasure' to attack...

   "Is this the ability of the awakened man that makes people do irrational behavior?"

   Yue Qifan instantly understood what happened just now, and his heart jumped wildly.

   His "fragment mnemonic erasure" ability is not a combat ability at all, because you must look through the memory in advance and mark the fragments that need to be erased and do not exceed three minutes in order to achieve accurate effect.

   It takes a lot of time, and the distance between the two parties must be within three meters.

   Just now, he just erased a piece of memory by instinct, without knowing what effect it would produce.

   It is also very difficult for the target to cause substantial harm to the target ~www.ltnovel.com~, after all, the three-minute memory fragment can represent too little and too little.

  Shang Jianyao frowned and looked at Yue Qifan, whose cap was pressed down very low. He didn't speak or make any movements.

   "..." Yue Qifan's heart moved, "Won't we erase the memory of our fight just now? He can't remember that we are enemies, or even that I attacked him..."

   Thinking of this, Yue Qifan was overjoyed and straightened his back.

   He pretended to hum the song easily, bending down to pick up the thin metal tube and a small arrow on the ground.

   After doing this, he lowered the peaked cap to prevent Shang Jian Yao from seeing his appearance clearly.

   One step, two steps, three steps, Yue Qifan hummed a song and walked away slowly.

   "Hey." At this moment, Shang Jian Yao suddenly turned around and shouted.

   Yue Qifan's pupils enlarged, cold sweat appeared on his back, and he ran wildly without even thinking about it.

   Seeing his back disappear at the corner of the "street", Shang Jian Yao gave an "uh" and said to himself:

   "He can't accept the evaluation of his singing level?"
