Darkness is Coming - Chapter 715
Near the Autodesk R&D Center, a team shuttled between various buildings and monsters, always walking on the best route, and cleverly avoiding every monster.
As one of them, Su Yue tried her best to keep up with the rhythm of others, but she couldn’t be as calm as others.
The members of the hunting team are all iron-blooded elites who have experienced many battles, and Su Yue, as an auxiliary ability awakener, has no longer assumed combat functions since joining the Yuanjiao Society. After walking out of Yuanjiang, she became a psychological counselor, Trauma healers and dream builders, stay away from the battlefield.
Now she was suddenly transferred to the front-line unit to perform a dangerous mission. It was difficult for Su Yue to adapt to this sudden change. Fortunately, Qi Xinwu, the leader of the team, took good care of her.
In fact, Qixinwu is really a potential stock that most people don’t notice, Su Yue thought, Qixinwu has strong ability, good temper, high EQ and IQ, and treats ladies with a gentlemanly demeanor. More importantly, he is only in his twenties. He has already become the acting director of the Nineteenth Bureau.
Since the 19th Bureau, the official Awakened management agency, became independent from the Ministry of National Security and merged with the Control Center to form a new department, its status, energy and influence have risen. .
Young and promising, with power and wealth in hand, he moved his hukou to Shangjing, ate special food, and lived in special housing arranged by the state.
The reason why did not attract much attention is entirely because a younger and promising President Yang took all the attention.
But in Su Yue’s view, Qi Xinwu is more in line with her own mate selection criteria than President Yang, because she heard that Qi Xinwu will go to drink tea, play the piano, enjoy flowers, read books after get off work, and sometimes find aunts for uncles on blind dates. He is a very interesting person, not a workaholic who never goes home.
Thinking of this, the more Su Yue looked at Qi Xinwu, the more pleasing it became, but unfortunately Qi Xinwu’s eyes never stayed on her too much.
When Su Yue peeked at Qi Xinwu again, Qi Xinwu who was sitting in a wheelchair suddenly said, “Stop!”
Qi Xinwu’s sky-eye ability can see around 360 degrees without blind spots, which can be called a street fighting plug-in. With his ability to observe the surroundings, the hunting team can silently approach the Autodesk R&D center without disturbing any monsters. .
But Qi Xinwu’s ability has a fatal flaw: he has to close his eyes to see the “perspective panorama”, and to observe such a large area, he naturally has to keep his mind free from distractions, which means that Qi Xinwu cannot move when using his ability, So he could only sit in a wheelchair and be pushed by other team members.
Because of this defect, there is also a joke in the Awakened circle, called “the chief in the wheelchair”. Because the first director of the 19th Bureau, Liu Yuanzhou, was in a wheelchair, and Qi Xinwu, as the second director, also sat in a wheelchair, so that the director of the 19th Bureau seemed to be in a wheelchair.
Even though she knew that Qi Xinwu was not talking about herself, Su Yue was startled and looked away nervously.
“At six o’clock, an unknown monster is approaching us… It should be chasing after the smell or sound.”
The hunting team has sprays for concealing scents, but they are of limited use. Even professionally trained search dogs can track them down, not to mention some monsters that have a sense of smell that is hundreds or thousands of times more sensitive than canines.
“Would you like me to take him around? Give him some more chilli water.” A Fei, who was walking behind Qi Lie, asked. He had agile flying ability, and it was he who cooperated with Qi Lie in that legendary dream battle. Wen Yan consumed a lot of physical strength.
Afei means to use his flying ability to attract monsters. As for the chilli water he said, it is not real chilli water, but a special spray designed to destroy the sense of smell.
“No, it’s too dangerous for you alone.” Qi Xinwu rejected A Fei’s proposal without thinking, “We will meet the enemy on the spot!”
After , Qi Xinwu ordered the correspondent to immediately notify the other three teams to prepare for the failure of the communications equipment.
A few seconds later, a monster with stubby legs, three tails and four arms, and two bones bulging in front of its shoulders appeared in the field of vision of the hunting team. It ran with its body parallel to the ground, with six limbs on the ground. It moves like a fly, and the three long tails behind it constantly change their positions to adjust the balance of the body.
“It looks like a tiger.” Qi Lie came out of the crowd and walked forward, holding his arms and judging the monster, “There used to be a dog-like, fire-breathing monster called the three-headed hellhound, right? What’s the name of this thing? Four-armed tiger? It’s not good to tear a tiger, three-tailed tiger? Eh, what are those two big bones for, oh I see, this thing runs fast, the two A bone is like a spear used by cavalry to charge, it can penetrate the enemy at the moment of contact and pick up the enemy. Hey, this big bone looks so good, how about using it to make soup?”
Seeing that the monster was about to rush in front of Qi Lie, Qi Lie was talking like a chatterbox. Su Yue couldn’t understand it, but others seemed to be used to it.
“Quick fight.” Qi Xinwu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Lie stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. A little spark lit up between his fingers, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a fire dragon, as if the air was filled with accelerants.
The sudden rise in temperature changes the air density, and the density change causes the refractive index to change, so the direction of the light changes repeatedly due to different refractive indices when passing through the nearby area, resulting in the visual phenomenon of “spatial deformation”.
The three-tailed tiger is really only a sensitive monster. The moment Qi Lie snapped his fingers, it sensed the danger, and immediately leaned over and stabbed the two raised white bones in front of his shoulders to the ground. After a harsh friction, the three-tailed tiger stopped. The figure, then turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and ran back at a faster speed.
“Oh, it turns out that it also has the function of the brake.” Qi Lie suddenly realized, tsk tsk in amazement, and then snapped his fingers again.
The ferocious fire dragon coiled into a ball, and then quickly transformed into a burning three-tailed tiger. Except for the monotonous color and extremely high temperature, the other details were almost identical and vivid.
With another snap of fingers, the three-tailed tiger composed of flames had an extra pair of wings, and chased towards the three-tailed tiger that was fleeing quickly, and soon caught up with the target, and burned it to the ground with its mournful and desperate roar. Tender roasted whole tiger.
“Does Mr. Qi always have to snap his fingers to control the flames?” Su Yue leaned over to Qi Xinwu’s side and asked for a topic while leaning on the armrest of the wheelchair.
is all my own, so I don’t have to hide it, and there are many people who know about it, so Qi Xinwu quickly answered: “No, it has nothing to do with snapping fingers.”
“Then, why…”
“Why are you snapping your fingers?” Qi Xinwu curled the corners of his mouth down, “Because he thinks he is so handsome.”
