Traveling in a storm is time consuming.
But just when Lu Ning rushed to District 6, she was unexpectedly attacked. Several ice picks were suddenly shot from a building. Although she quickly jumped out of the car to avoid it, the bicycle was directly hit in two by the ice picks.
"Sorry...sorry...help...me..."
A person's head was poked out of the window where the ice pick was launched. This person's condition was even more serious. The entire body had turned into a stack of transparent cubes. Internal organs such as eyeballs, tongue, gums, and ear canals were clearly visible, and even the brain was invisible. The outline can be seen, which means that part of the skull has also been crystallized.
However, even so, this man still raised one hand, with sharp ice picks condensed in his palm.
There's something wrong with this guy!
Lu Ning quickly hid behind a roadside tree. The ice pick scraped against the trunk of the tree and hit the wall, actually nailing into the cement wall.
"Help……"
"I...my head hurts..."
"what's up……"
Before Lu Ning could decide how to deal with the person who issued the ice pick, many people suddenly heard murmurs of pain from all around.
This kind of sound is simply scalp-numbing, and what's even more terrifying is that these "people" who have been crystallized into non-human shapes are appearing from around the streets. Their feet have turned into uncontrollable snake-shaped crystals, and their still intact upper bodies are also wrapped in a layer of crystals transformed from skin. Their internal organs are still moving, and their hands hold different superpower attacks.
Those are the simplest and crudest types, ice piles, fireballs, electric lights, poison gas... Such opponents would not cause much trouble in normal times, but now they have turned into a group of mobile turrets coming from all directions, intending to surround Lu Ning!
Quantity - This is currently the most difficult enemy type for Lu Ning to deal with.
As long as she hurts herself, the red gel secreted from the wound can turn into armor to protect herself. If she cuts the enemy, the wound will spontaneously proliferate and completely cut the person into pieces. The only problem is that no matter how strong the armor's defense is, it is limited. , and if the attack does not cause close range damage, it cannot be attached with super powers.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Lu Ning estimated that if he could only injure four or five people at most, he would be penetrated by intensive ability shots.
Invincible.
Thinking of this, she slashed her sword on the tree, stretched out her hand to grab the sword mark, and was pulled upwards as the mark quickly extended, climbing into the nearby courtyard wall along a relatively thick branch.
The crystallized people also climbed up the tree, trying to chase Lu Ning, but when they were halfway up, they heard a "click" sound, and the big tree shattered from the inside out, hitting all the crystallized people. on the ground.
"Something's wrong."
Lu Ning broke the glass in the courtyard and ran into the dimly lit room. When passing by the bedroom, she happened to see the owner's family huddled together. Surprisingly, the owner's family did not attack suddenly, and there were also There are just some crystals on the arms and legs, not as serious as those people outside.
After just a quick glance, Lu Ning hurried past, but this difference also made her start to speculate on the characteristics of the C-circuit ability.
This super power that covers the entire city is absolutely an indiscriminate attack. Its specific function is to make people or everything into tools and manipulate them regardless of personal will. However, the crystallization process seems to have some special conditions. From District 6 to District 2, Rie Kazama found that the area in District 2 was still just an arm crystal. The owner of the house here was not serious. On the contrary, it was those outside who had been completely made into tools. I know why it's so fast.
It must not be indoor or outdoor factors, because the first person who attacked him was also indoors.
It doesn't depend on whether you have superpowers or not. The crystallization progress of Kazama Rie and the owner of the house is almost the same.
If you want to find out that condition, more comparisons are needed. On the other hand, if these guys are blocking it, it will not be easy to break into the defense range of the C loop.
After she ran out of the back door, she walked cautiously along the street corner. She was attacked by several crystalline beings that suddenly appeared on the way, but the number was not particularly large. Based on the principle of avoidance, Lu Ning made a long detour before approaching the City Hall of District 6.
Just when she ran around a corner, another person rushed out. She subconsciously waved the sword chariot, and the other person seemed to be suddenly surprised, and raised his hand to press on her shoulder.
The sword blade scratched the opponent, and at the same time, Lu Ning was pushed to the ground by the sudden heavy pressure on his body.
"Um?"
After Sollit and Lu Ning stared at each other for a moment, they coincidentally temporarily eliminated the effects of their abilities on each other.
"I think we came here with the same purpose." Lu Ning said.
There is no crystallization phenomenon on Solit's body, so he must have used the evil of the essence, but his companions may not survive.
"Let's give up for now... I know who you are, Lu Ying. We have your head in our mission."
"I understand, but the most important thing is to solve the problem at hand first, right? Besides, we have already met each other."
For people with superpowers like the two, touching such a distance can already determine life or death, but neither party is prepared to fight now and lose both sides.
"Okay." Sollit nodded simply.
A somewhat strange combination was formed.
The purpose of Solit's coming was just as Lu Ning thought, to help his companions solve the crystallization symptoms. All the members of the Sacrifice Club except him had already experienced crystallization, so he rushed to Area 6 almost as quickly as possible.
According to him, the crystallization progress of the members of the action team was not uniform. Some people only appeared a little, just lost their strength, while others had their whole skin crystallized and their bodies began to lose control.
"There must be some conditions for crystallization, otherwise there would be no need for such a progress difference." Lu Ning said.
"It doesn't depend on basic factors such as ability strength, gender and weight, and it has nothing to do with the temperature and humidity of the environment." Sollit is also very good at thinking, and quickly negated several conditions from the comparison of the status of his teammates. .
But even if some are excluded, there is no way to find a particularly clear division.
Moreover, the two of them had to break through the interceptions of crystallized people who appeared along the way and rush to the city hall.
Just as she entered the dark door, Lu Ning's cell phone suddenly vibrated.
"Wait for me." Lu Ning hurriedly picked up the phone.
It was Zhao Xihua. At this time, she was probably starting to suffer from crystallization symptoms, but she still had time to make a phone call?
"Hello? Zhao Xihua?"
"When I call you at such a difficult time, at least the tone of my voice can comfort me..."
The voice was weak, but also had a coquettish tone, and Lu Ning couldn't help but feel a chill.
"What on earth is going on?"
"You... are already in the Sixth District... That damn thing in the sky is really troublesome." Zhao Xihua calmed down and continued, "I have found a way to curb crystallization... It is necessary for you, the only one, to go there. Let’s get to know the key figures on the front line.”
"Can you please stop talking in circles at this time?"
"Hehehe...personal habit."
On the other end of the phone, there was the sound of running water, which was very similar to the sound made by the shower head in the bathroom when it rushes water into the bathtub filled with water.
"Long story short, I was bleeding myself."
Zhao Xihua's voice was a little more serious.
"What did you say?"
"Don't worry, Xiao Chang will stay with me and won't put my life in danger. I will tell you the results of my observations. After I released part of the blood, the crystallization speed on my body slowed down by nearly half, while Qingyu's The situation is much more serious than before. She completely lost consciousness after taking care of the last things and took some medicine."
"Yang Qingyu is more serious than you? Wait...I want to confirm..."
Lu Ning took away her phone and asked Solite, "Who are the people in your team with more serious and mild symptoms?"
"You don't know them, and I told you that you can't tell." Solite was very alert, "If you think of any conditions, we can just verify them directly. It's okay to catch one or two of the crystallizers from outside. .”
"When I came over, I saw that some seriously injured superpowers and cyborgs on the road also had crystallization, but the progress was very slow. When a person I knew saw me, he had just experienced a big battle. , and there weren’t particularly many crystals on his body. Finally, when I passed a house just now, the symptoms of the owner who was so scared that he hugged each other and refused to run away were not very serious.”
Solit was reminded of this and realized something.
He has confirmed the conditions of some other members of the club. In fact, those elderly people who are already despairing and unable to take revenge because of their age do not have many crystallizations. On the contrary, many young people full of anger have severe crystallization symptoms. It's just that some of these young people have it all over their bodies, and some only spread on their arms and legs, so it's impossible to determine the mechanism.
"It's vitality." Solite and Lu Ning thought together.
Fatigue, old age, severe injuries, cowardice, including usually weak physical fitness, such people have a very low degree of crystallization; in contrast, those who are physically strong, often exercise themselves, and are full of vitality in the morning, It is the finest "forging material" from the Leyline Furnace!
Just as the two said this condition, the surrounding lights suddenly lit up.
In the city hall lobby, a huge screen hangs on the wall above the stairs. At this moment, a letter "C" with a unique shape quickly appeared on the projection screen.
"Solite, Lu Ying. You two possess the evil of the essence, so you are not affected by my ability. Can I infer that you are here for your friends?"
There was a hint of doubt in the robotic voice.
"Of course, I'll tear you down by the way." Solit took a step forward, and the tiles on the ground flew up, and he caught them in his hand.
"You can't do it." C-circuit said coldly, "Gravity control can be the top ability among ordinary superpowers, but your level of control is not enough to threaten my position."
"Don't make any mistake, I'm not trying to get your shabby position, I'm just trying to tear you down and tear down the core of this city." The corners of Solite's mouth raised slightly, revealing a look that was either painful or pleasurable. With a smile, "How long have we been waiting for this moment to be planned? Why on earth does your place that harbors evil exist in this world? Why on earth is it allowed to exist?"
"Your relatives did not die at the hands of any registered people in Sin City. You came here just to obtain superpowers. After you awakened your superpowers, you also killed all the people who killed your family. It should be said , Sin City sheltered you, a murderer." Circuit C retorted coldly.
"So what? Do you think I join the club just because of my own personal reasons?" Solite's expression was slightly distorted, "What I can't stand is the existence of your city! This city will not be recognized by me. All justice and judgment have been shattered! As long as you exist in this world for one day, it proves that somewhere in the world still recognizes the legitimacy of burning, killing and looting!"
"So? Are you against the city because of the burning sense of justice in your heart? From the outside, you don't see that you are such a passionate person. But do you still intend to carry out all this in the name of personal justice? Countless History has proven that to be wrong.”
"At any time, it is human beings who carry out the judgment..." The tiles in Sollit's hand shattered, "Then what's the difference between me and some other judge!!!"
The broken tiles turned into a hail of bullets and shot towards the screen, and then hit a layer of ice shell that suddenly appeared, creating countless cracks, but in the end they did not penetrate.
"People" began to appear all around.
In fact, they can no longer be called human beings. These creatures that were once human beings were crystallized and then underwent precise modifications. All the internal organs and brains were sneaked into the crystal in an orderly manner, while the outside was made up of square crystals that were pieced together like building blocks. Some have crawler tracks underneath, but swan-shaped instruments on top. It's just that two crystal cannon tubes extend from the wings of the "Swan", and the head becomes a flat rectangle, with the same "C" embedded in the center as on the screen.
"These people are-" Lu Ning immediately took a step back.
"Staff in the city hall." Sollit smiled sarcastically on his face, "Jobs in the city hall have always been high-paying, good benefits, the best happiness index, and also provide a lot of sports and entertainment activities. The lives of these people It’s something that countless people can’t envy.”
That is the best raw material for the Leyline Furnace.
What followed was the door behind him falling heavily.
"This is the domain of the C-loop." The ruthless electronic voice of the C-loop declared, "I will recycle the evil of the essence of the two of you, maybe it can be used as a special surprise at the next Sabbath celebration."
Just as it finished saying this, the wall where the screen was hung suddenly made a cracking sound, and the entire screen instantly lost its support and fell heavily on the stairs, with broken glass splashing all over the floor.
Along the tile pit dug by Solite, a thin crack had already extended to the back of the screen wall at some point, and then turned into a huge crack.
"you……"
The sound of the C circuit came from all the crystal people.
"We did it." Lu Ning dispersed a trace of red light from her fingers, "What I like to do most is to surprise someone when they think they have a chance to win."
"Stupid, destroying a screen can't hurt me at all. Human fragility is limited to the life-span of the body, and I rely on the entire Sin City network to exist. I am immortal. You can never kill me."
"Let me return the word stupid." Lu Ning showed a provocative smile, "First of all, if I can do one small action like this under your eyes, I can do countless others. This is the first one you expose. weakness."
