Right on Target - Chapter 158
Xiao Su climbed onto Xie Zhenshu’s shoulder, coughed repeatedly, swung his tail to clear the gunpowder smoke, and said, “Fortunately, I almost forgot to unlock it.”
Xie Zhenshu’s arms were heavy, he stared at the iron shield in front of him, and found that it was the same as the shield that flashed in his head.
Xiao Su tilted his head, and suddenly he said, “Ah! I remembered that I forgot something. I forgot to explain the way of cross star to you. I’m really sorry. But it’s very simple to use, and it will definitely not trouble you.”
After speaking, the two Bi Fang in front threw their cannons again, hitting them one after another like fireballs and marbles. Xie Zhenshu lowered his arms and blocked all of them with the iron shield.
The fire on the giant’s head burned even hotter, as if it was a reaction from its heart. It bent down, made an impact posture, and ordered: “Forward!”
Bi Fang didn’t dare to stop when he heard the words, and the two birds with one wing spread forward side by side in the billowing fire. They are one-legged birds, and when they jump, the ground will shake violently, causing the light spots in the silver flowers to scatter and flee.
Xie Zhenshu said: “How to use?”
Xiao Su said, “Think about it.”
Bi Fang is several meters high, and his jumps are earth-shattering, and he may not be able to withstand it even if he lifts it hard. Just as Xie Zhenshu was thinking of this, the iron shield suddenly spread out and turned into countless diamond-shaped fragments, exposing the two of them directly in front of the menacing chariot.
Xiao Su said: “As expected of the officer, turn from defense to offense.”
Xie Zhenshu had some comprehension when the shield appeared and disappeared, and with the attitude of trying it out, he clenched a fist and struck out suddenly at the moment Bi Fang charged. It took a lot of force, the muscles between the arms were propped up, and the bones of the gods supported it, even if it was a machine, it had to give up three points.
“Boom!”
As soon as it was said, the diamond-shaped fragments recombined in an instant, forming a black giant fist that flew into the air, and smashed Bi Fang’s head to the other side. The two collided with each other immediately, fell down and fell to the ground.
“Beep!” Bi Fang choked on a squib, and smoke came out of his beak. The case on the side of its head was dented, parts popped out, it was beaten to the point of scrapping, and it was out of bird shape.
Xiao Su patted Xie Zhenshu’s shoulder wildly with her tail, and cheered, “Good!”
Without Bi Fang, the chariot nearly lost control and slid several meters on the ground. The giant stabbed the scepter into the ground to stabilize the car body, and the fire on its head had already reached its highest point.
Xiao Su murmured: “Strange, really strange, this guy doesn’t look like Hephaestus.”
The giant drew out his scepter, his movements stiff. The surrounding mountains have been covered by flames, and at first glance, it seems as if you are in a sea of flames in purgatory.
“Don’t go…” The night walker’s pale dough face showed a painful expression, they chased the light among the flowers, “go home…”
But the silver lights couldn’t stand the burning of the fire, and they were already in a mess. What’s worse, the chariot ignored the flowers just now and crushed the silver flower branches and leaves to pieces. The crying of the night wandering girl added a bit of eerieness to the fire scene, but the giant seemed to be in a trance, facing the direction of Xie Pillow Book with his fire face, as if he was looking at the officer.
Xiao Su suddenly crossed her tail and stood in front of Xie Zhenshu. Its voice sank a bit: “Hey, who are you?”
“Prediction failed,” said the cold machine voice, “Su Heting has an accomplice. The identity of the other party is unknown, and the detection has failed. Request a second order to increase firepower.”
When the sound fell, the giant made a “click click” sound, and it increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. The chariot soon couldn’t hold it, its legs split the edge of the chariot, and it grew into a guy more than ten meters high on the spot. Not only that, but its wide back was torn, and from it rose four barrels of the same shape as the Anophore’s.
By this time, Xiao Su had determined that this guy was not any monster he knew, but a new thing created by Hephaestus’ hybrid design.
The giant waved his scepter, and all four barrels lit up. Xie Zhenshu grabbed Xiao Su and galloped away. In an instant, white light exploded, blasting out billowing thick smoke, blasting the ground until it cracked everywhere.
Xie Zhenshu hugged the cat with one hand, and rolled to the ground between the explosions, avoiding the parts of Bi Fang that were blown into pieces. However, the enlarged giant was extremely fast, blocking them in the blink of an eye, and stomping on them.
“boom!”
The giant stepped on the air, and a footprint was dented on the ground. The flame on its head was blown by the wind, and Xie Zhenshu’s giant black fist had already reached the back of its head.
“call-“
The giant fist came out, but there was only the sound of the wind. Xie Zhenshu and the diamond-shaped fragments have the same senses, and instantly sensed the problem, saying: “There is no head.”
There is nothing in that flame!
Xiao Su said: “Semi-finished product, Hephaestus is not finished yet.”
During the conversation, the giant waved the scepter again. Compared with the previous stiffness, it was extremely agile at the moment. The wind hit his face first, Xie Zhenshu calmly blocked it, but the weight of the scepter exceeded his prediction. When it hit the iron shield, although the iron shield did not shatter immediately, cracks appeared.
The giant didn’t give them a chance to breathe, and the gun barrel on the back took the opportunity to light up, trying to blow the Xie Zhenshu over. Sparks are flying all over the sky, time is running out, Xie Zhenshu thinks of his father at this moment.
“Sword skills and fighting skills,” Xie Jin stood in the shadow of the yard, holding the scabbard, “neither are used to protect oneself.”
The roses in the yard were covered by snow, only a few withered twigs were left struggling outside. Xie Zhenshu held the handle of the Tang Dao with indifferent eyes.
Xie Jin said, “Swing the knife.”
Xie Zhenshu, who was still a child, asked: “Who am I protecting?”
Xie Jin said sharply, “Swing the knife!”
— Swing a knife!
Xie Zhenshu’s eyes changed suddenly, one foot slipped out, his left hand was held in the void, and he made a “splitting” movement in the raging wind. The cross star swirled, and the black diamond-shaped fragments were immediately reassembled, and a black shadow several meters high hung behind the officer. The black shadow and Xie Zhenshu moved in the same way, holding an extremely long Tang knife, and smashed the giant’s scepter.
Giant said: “Danger detected, request third finger—”
Xie Zhenshu’s knife is extremely fast. After years of practice, his explosive power has long been unstoppable. The scepter snapped off immediately, and the giant was caught off guard, and was pierced by the officer from top to bottom!
boom-
Four shells hit the ground, and so did the giant. The flame on its head went out instantly, and immediately after, the fire on the mountain also began to go out. Only the machine voice is still saying: “… Ling… Request… Support…”
Xiao Su jumped onto the giant’s stump, patted left and right with her paws, and said, “Quickly disappear, bye.”
The giant collapsed, and the sound of the machine died away.
The murderous giant shadow behind Xie Zhenshu dissipated, and he lowered his head, only to see Xiao Su’s cat pupils shining brightly, staring straight at him.
Officer: “?”
Xiao Su said: “You are so handsome, so handsome.”
Xie Zhenshu shook hands thoughtfully, just now the knife exposed his heart, but he felt a kind of pleasure, he looked at Xiaosu.
Xiao Su sat upright, looking at the giant’s corpse. It’s a pity that the body dissipated quickly and disappeared after a few minutes. It circled its tail and pondered: “This is not the clone of Hephaestus, which means it has found a way not to be restrained by Artemis. Our acceleration…huh?”
Xie Zhenshu hugged Xiaosu back, and the silver dots gathered together to form a blue river again. The connected mountains had returned to their original form, and the chimneys in the mooring area had once again appeared in their field of vision.
They continued on the road, and after a while, Xiao Su said, “You are so handsome, you are so handsome.”
Xie Zhenshu said: “Yes.”
Xiao Su said, “Can I worship you as my teacher?”
Xie Zhenshu said: “No.”
Xiao Su was shocked, and the tip of her tail shook wildly in disbelief, causing silver dots to fly. It said, “Why?”
Xie Zhenshu said: “It’s yours instead.”
Xiao Su said, “I am human.”
Xie Zhenshu said: “You said you were a cat.”
Xiao Su shook his head twice, and said, “It doesn’t count if you lie to it. I’m human, and I’m Su Heting. Damn it, listen to me…”
The night wandering girl returned to the flowers and buried herself in singing. They will repair the damaged branches and roots here, so that the consciousness can continue to live. In the dots of silver light, Xie Zhenshu went further and further away.
Three days later, they encountered a group of bored lights, and Xiao Su turned off the lights without disturbing them. The blue river flows out of the mountains, and the mooring area is finally revealed in full view.
The edge of black and white is approaching the area, where a huge moon hangs in a corner of the sky, but it is always gray, as if covered by a layer of veil. A few chimneys were burning all night, and dilapidated factories scattered nearby could be faintly seen. This is the only remaining “living area” in District 14, but from the outside, it is clearly empty inside, with no signs of human activity.
Xiao Su said: “According to the rules formulated by Artemis, everyone in the hunt has only one self. Even NPCs cannot have duplicate data, because that will reduce the degree of authenticity and make me or Yan Junxun aware of it. It’s tricky, so as soon as I step in there, the plot restarts immediately.”
This is the same as the monitors must abide by the prohibition, everyone must serve the hunt, must not show self-awareness, and must not wake up the experimental subject.
“Before District 14 was changed to time-limited hunting, Artemis asked me to do some urban construction. I added and modified the original structure of District 14, leaving clues for Yan Junxun and myself. But Artemis is better than me. Great, I didn’t expect it to use me for version testing. In those reincarnation tests, it constantly erased the real warnings based on the clues I found, and perfected the world into what it was later. Whenever I wake up, I am far from reality Further, finally one day, all the clues disappeared, and the time-limited hunting began.
“I forgot some things, but sir, I seem to be able to sense that there is something wrong with this world. After a reality awakening, I began to think about whether I still have some more secret clues, so secret that I can’t even think of them .
“In order to find this clue, I kept looping in the hunt. Sorry, I don’t remember most of the looping content, but I found one interesting thing, that is why there are so many glasses in the light track area here.”
Xiao Su raised her head and looked towards the sky. Xie Zhenshu also raised his head, there was nothing in the sky outside, and the sky in the parking area had already been occupied by the moon.
Xiao Su said: “I found a cross star hidden deep in the glass, isn’t it strange? The night inside seems to me to have no starry sky at all, but a faint star can be seen on the glass. I don’t know when I discovered this secret in the next reincarnation, and I spent a lot of effort in order to figure out what was going on.”
The cross star on its chest was faintly lit, the blue river on the ground suddenly scattered, and the silver dots fluttered, and a giant shadow passed over its head.
Xiao Su’s eyes are sly: “So I thought of a way, whether this star exists or not, you can find out if you turn District 14 upside down.”
After speaking, the bird’s cry pierced the darkness, and Xie Zhenshu saw the familiar ghost car bird leaning forward, as if dragging something.
Xiao Su’s tone was rather regretful: “Ah, it’s a pity that Artemis is gone, otherwise I really want to see how it regrets. I told it a long time ago, I’m not easy to mess with.”
At the same time, the silver dots suddenly flocked to the sky, and the surrounding dark mountain outlines began to rotate slowly, and the whole world turned around with the moon in the parking area as the center.
