Chapter 97 Monster: Black Mist Aggregation
“I don’t know.”
Ran Zhuyu frowned and said: “But I always feel that the battle between the puppets is going to be big. Anyway, let’s start with Inform Li Xiu! "
On the tower.
As soon as Ran Zhuyu finished speaking, he saw Li Xiu wearing a set of jet black armor slowly descending from the sky to his side.
As a foundation-building monk, Deng Bin had no interest in the black armor.
After all, he can fly with a sword.
But Ran Zhuyu looked a little greedy.
He couldn't help but ask Li Xiu: "Commander Li, your armor."
"Oh."
Li Xiu said expressionlessly: "This is the 'Tactical Assault Light Combat Suit', which is powered by white mist as energy."
"This armor is good at everything."
" The only problem is: if you accelerate too fast, your brain will be thrown into pulp, so it cannot be used in actual combat yet."
Ah this
Understand the side effects of this armor. Afterwards, Ran Zhuyu suddenly lost interest and stopped asking further questions.
While the two were talking, Xie Shen, who was in seclusion in a secret room, quickly rushed to the southern tower after receiving the news.
Using the combat power detector doped with zirconium metal, Xie Shen was able to see:
In the wilderness outside the city, on the bodies of the dummies who were tortured to death, there were countless Black mist floated out of it.
As soon as the black mist appeared, it seemed to be attracted by something, slowly rising to the sky and gathering together.
“What’s going on?”
Li Xiu next to Xie Shenchong said: "Puppets can actually generate black mist after being tortured? Then aren't they just like humans?"
Li Xiu pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "Puppets They are very similar to humans."
"The only difference between the two is that pseudo-human beings do not have the trait of 'emotion', which causes them to lose all subjective initiative."
“Subjective initiative?” Xie Shen asked doubtfully.
Li Xiu explained: "The so-called subjective initiative refers to a person's motivation for doing things."
"For example, myself."
"Although I don't have emotions like the dummy, I do have a desire to survive."
"In addition, I also have a strong thirst for knowledge. . ”
“So I can take the initiative to do various things without being controlled or directed by others.”
“But fake people can’t.”
"They are like robots. They must have someone behind them to give orders before they can move."
"I understand." Xie Shen asked further: "So the puppets torture themselves like this, and then continue to produce black mist , what is its purpose?"
"I don't know." Li Xiu looked up at the sky and said, "In my opinion, the black mist is just an 'inert' energy."< br>
“It will neither explode nor burn.”
“So even if there is more black mist gathering over Hope City, I am not worried at all.”
"The only thing I'm worried about is that the fake people will use the black mist to make a fuss."
"What fuss?" Xie Shen didn't understand what Li Xiu meant.
Li Xiu gave an example: "For example"
"The pseudo-people have some kind of technology that can detonate the inert black mist, and then blow up the entire Hope City."
“Or.”
Li Xiu said word by word: "The pseudo-people want to use the black mist to complete a certain ritual and then summon the devil or evil god!"
Don't say it.
The pseudo-people were torturing themselves and committing suicide outside the City of Hope. It really seemed like they were trying to please some demon or evil god.
After realizing this, Xie Shen rushed to Li Xiudao: "Can those fake people stop them?"
"Difficult."
Li Xiu analyzed: "If it were replaced by the former Qingyang Sect base, it would be okay."
"After all, the old base is not big."
"As long as more people are sent Patrolling 24 hours a day, the puppets can't get close."
"But not Hope City."
"Hope City covers an area of 20 square kilometers."
"It is simply impossible to hold on without leaving any blind spots."
"In the final analysis, we still suffered a loss in intelligence."
Li Xiudao found out the key to the problem.
“We don’t know what kind of medicine is sold in the dummy gourd.”
“So we can only watch like this.”
"First be passive and take the beating."
"When the puppets take action, we will fight again!"
That's all we can do for the time being.
Since even Li Xiu couldn't think of a good way, Xie Shen and others were even more helpless.
So everyone stood on the tower to watch the changes.
Time passes.
As more and more dummies died tragically outside Hope City, the black mist gathering over the city began to become more and more numerous.
Finally.
Perhaps the quantitative change has reached a qualitative change.
The black mist began to surge and gradually gathered together.
Just like putting together building blocks, a group of huge irregular creatures was finally formed in the air.
——The reason why it is said to be a living thing is that there is an eye formed by black mist in the center.
Those lifelike eyes are looking down at the tiny humans on the ground. What are they if they are not living things?
Strange to say.
This irregular creature looks like a circle but not a circle, and looks like a square but not a square.
It is neither like a bird or an animal, nor is it like a bird, animal, insect, or fish.
Its shape is completely contrary to human aesthetics, making people unconsciously feel sick and uncomfortable when they see it.
Deng Bin saw it and said with a strange expression: "The thing in the sky is the black mist turned into spirit?"
Xie Shen thought of the statue in Tower Prison.
He exclaimed in surprise: "The creature formed from the black mist is exactly the same as the statue at the bottom of the tower prison!"
"It's indeed the same."
Li Xiu echoed from the side: "The only difference is that compared to the statues, the creatures in the sky have one more eye."
"That's The finishing touch!"
As he spoke, Li Xiu suddenly put his hand on the zirconium metal glasses.
He said in a very fast tone: "Brain, update the system files." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of the brain: "Received, you say it."
Li Xiu said in a calm tone: "Unknown life form No. 009, name: Black Mist Aggregation!"
"Appearance method: A large amount of black mist is generated when the dummy dies, gathering in Formed together."
"Unknown ability"
"Appearance: black and irregular."
"Remarks: The shape of the black mist aggregate is exactly the same as the statue at the bottom of the tower prison."
On the city tower.
After contacting the brain to update the file, Li Xiu turned to his assistant Yang Xiang and said: "Inform Chao Jing and Zhuge Fu immediately and let them use surface-to-air missiles to test the black mist aggregate. "
The latter said without thinking: "Okay, I'll contact you right away!"
After the order was given, Li Xiu turned to Xie Shen and said: "Xie Shen, use magic and flying swords. Let’s test it and see if the monk’s method can hurt the black mist aggregation.”
"Yeah"
Xie Shen didn't say much nonsense.
After he responded, he waved his hand and released countless golden spirit energy.
Next.
Xie Shen soared into the sky from the tower.
He, Feng Xu Yufeng, controlled countless flying swords transformed from golden spirit energy, stabbing at the black mist aggregate from different angles.
However, this did not have any effect.
The black mist aggregate seems to be just a mass of mist.
After the flying sword pierced into it, it flew out without any hindrance.
Seeing this scene, Xie Shenfu spread his right hand palm upward again.
The next second, a ball of black flame appeared out of thin air from his hand.
As soon as the Qingyang Strange Fire was sacrificed, it quickly spit out several tongues of fire high in the sky.
Those tongues of fire gathered together and turned into a giant flame dragon, which crashed straight into the black mist aggregate.
But.
Whether it is the Qi of the Golden Spirit or the Qingyang Strange Fire.
Xie Shen's various methods were still unable to harm the black mist aggregate at all.
Qian Donkey was at his wits end, so Xie Shen had no choice but to land from the air again.
He looked up at the sky.
After about ten seconds of this, several missiles flew out of the land-based launch silo in Hope City.
These missiles look quite impressive.
But similarly, they were unable to harm the black mist aggregate at all.
Now humans are completely at their wits end.
After many trials, Li Xiu came to a conclusion: "Although we can't hurt the black mist aggregate."
"But the other party doesn't seem to have launched any attack on us for the time being. Attack."
"Maybe, it's not fully formed yet."
"Or, it may not have an entity at all."
"Anyway, let's continue to wait and see!"
Li Xiu finally said: "It's the same as before."
< br>"Let's wait and see what happens, wait for the Black Mist Aggregation to take action first, and then take action as we see it!"
In order to allow everyone to be in a good state when the actual fight begins.
Li Xiu specially arranged to get off work and let all the management in Hope City take turns to be on duty.
As for the three high-end combatants Xie Shen, Deng Bin and Quanshan, they only need to maintain their best condition and do not need to show up on weekdays.
…
While Xie Shen, Li Xiu and others were busy dealing with the black mist aggregate.
In a secluded abandoned house somewhere.
Bu Tianran, who had disappeared for a long time, was sitting in front of a wooden table at this moment.
There was a piece of drawing paper placed on the wooden table - what was drawn on it was the sketch of the statue that Xie Shen had completed the last strokes of.
After Bu Tianran stared at the sketch of the statue for a few times, he suddenly turned around.
Behind him.
Surprisingly, they were four ordinary people who were tied up and unable to move at all.
"I'm sorry, everyone."
Bu Tianran stood up from the wooden table.
He held a dagger and slowly approached the four ordinary people.
While walking, he did not forget to explain: "The sketch of the statue needs to absorb the black mist to be effective."
"Then the black mist can only be used when people feel pain. Time will come into being.”
"So, I may have to torture you later."
"It will probably hurt a lot."
"But if you bear with it a little, it should be over soon."
Bu Tianran's tone when he spoke was as if he was chatting with a friend he had known for many years.
Can be biased.
Such a kind tone sounded like the whisper of a devil to those four ordinary people.
Seeing Bu Tianran approaching continuously, the four ordinary people struggled wildly.
Because their mouths were blocked, they could not even beg for mercy, but could only make a sound of 'woo woo woo'.
Fear began to spread through the house.
…
…
My name is Bu Tianran.
Since I was 16 years old, I have been practicing in the "Dashang Qingzheng Yiwanshou Palace" in Longhu Mountain.
My whole life, I have been walking on thin ice.
Today.
I've been stuck at the base building bottleneck for over ten years.
I can't wait any longer.
I will take the initiative to pursue opportunities.
He who helps himself, God will help him.
