The boss score of the fourth crisis has four stars. Probably because Lu Ning and Li Beiyangmu were the main attackers, the score was evenly divided between them.
When checking the points obtained, everyone also found that the locked state of the instrument panel had ended, which meant that Xia Zhi had also died, and the most restrictive effect on the survivors had disappeared.
Lu Ning immediately received the inheritance, and the number of her stars increased to twenty-six in an instant. She only needed to complete two more tasks to buy the thirty-star key, many of which belonged to Dougel. heritage.
"Winter Solstice and Summer Solstice have been eliminated, and the casualties of servants have also begun to increase. The intensity of the Great Heat Crisis is obviously not as good as the other two, and it is almost over." Li Bei Fengdai looked at the situation displayed on the crisis interface, "Kao Gu Scholars are not very powerful in combat, but their ability to resurrect and cause various troubles ensures their survival. Among the ten servants brought by 'Thought', Senju and Lingxi have all been dealt with. Junzu and we have dealt with one, and Yuan Cong has also been dealt with. One died."
After she reported the situation, she turned her attention to Libei Yangmu and did not conduct much analysis.
"Then...the main trouble now is the salesmen. It can be seen from the fact that Xia Zhi was solved so quickly. It doesn't take much effort for the salesmen to find someone. Then why is there no movement at all now?"
"Because they are different from the previous crisis leaders."
Lu Ning held her chin, recalling the details after meeting the person who solved the case.
The salesmen are the pawns of the mastermind. They are comprehensive and have some special skills, but they are obviously also subject to some strict control. The salesperson once mentioned the employee code, which should be a regulation that all salesmen must abide by.
In the subsequent conversation, the case solver said that it would not take long for the salesman to kill all the survivors, and the way the mastermind restricted them was not to "allow" them to do anything, but "not to" do it. What, assuming these are all facts, then the inference is not difficult to draw.
"The leader this time...the salesman is the type who cannot take the initiative to attack."
"What?"
"It's not that they don't want to, but they can't. The restriction given to them by the mastermind is that they are not allowed to kill tourists before they are attacked. Only in this way can we explain why the salesmen have taken very little action so far, and can also explain why such a powerful group is arranged Extraordinary people come to the garden - the gap between us is not equal."
"Hey...then this mastermind wants to kill his own people?" Maoyou scratched his head, "Why do you set such a restriction specifically?"
"Simulation." Li Bei Fengdai's words hit the mark.
"Yes...simulation." Lu Ning nodded in agreement, "This is simulating the situation in the outside world."
The information collected from many people reflects the mastermind's attitude of giving up on the outside world. The only ones who have contact are the salesmen. They carry out the mastermind's orders under the employee code and also take some outside business along the way. And today's The situation is almost identical.
"So this A-level just needs not to attack?" Qiao was a little dumbfounded, "Is it that simple?"
"It's not simple at all. Haven't you noticed that these salesmen also have the effect of continuous pressure like the spring equinox and summer solstice?" Libei Yangmu shook his head, "Now I have more and more hallucinations, although It won’t affect the battle very much, but something will happen sooner or later if this continues, right? For example, if I treat you all as enemies..."
"I will monitor your mental state." Li Bei Fengdai interrupted Li Bei Yangmu, "As well as all the people who act together, I will always pay attention to your various states, whether it is physical or psychological, so it is completely Don’t worry about that.”
"How are you doing?" Lu Ning asked.
"I have a feeling. If I really find that I have a problem, either self-hypnosis or forced brainwashing can solve this problem. You just need to help me block external attacks." Ribei Fengdai glanced at Maoyou.
"What do you mean? I'm a sniper!"
"Obviously other people are also aware of this problem. After all, the rest are team actions, and every team has at least one person with a clear mind." Li Beiyangmu said.
Lewanska, Cheng Wuling, Helena, William, Shi Ming, and even Nimophis, these people must have noticed sooner or later that the salesmen were not taking the initiative to attack, and even some of them were more aggressive. Monsters who may also start using salespeople to help them clean up the crisis.
As they were talking, everyone suddenly saw someone walking out of the end of the corridor.
This was obviously a woman. She was wearing a blood-stained and tattered priest's uniform. Her long hair was covered with ice in the frost, and she held a rusty sword in each hand. The most eye-catching thing was her face. A piece of iron painted with a red spell was embedded at eye level, completely blocking the upper half of her face.
Lu Ning suddenly realized that there was a detail that she had overlooked just now, and she hurriedly asked: "Didn't any of the servants who were clearly identified in the list of servants that Feng Dai mentioned just now be killed?"
"Yes, but there are only two of each type of servant, and one kind has not been encountered - Hey! Do you want to say..." Li Beiyangmu didn't take it seriously at first, but halfway through his words, he became more concerned about this sudden appearance. The attention of servants.
Ping Na and Qiao immediately fired bullets at the servant. The dense rain of bullets rushed towards the servant amidst the roar of gunfire. However, all the bullets that rushed towards the fatal part were cut open by the two swords.
Blood splashed from the limbs of the servant of discernment, but this was wrong, everyone knew it was wrong. Ping Na used a machine cannon, and the disguise was filled with high-explosive ammunition. No matter which type of ammunition hit a normal person, half of the body would be blown up, not just a few splashes of blood!
"Be careful, her attack method is-"
Before Fengdai could finish his words, Joe let out a cry of terror. He twisted and fell backwards. Thanks to this completely irregular movement, he dodged the nearly fatal attack. But even so, One arm has also been cut off.
"Damn it! Did you see her attack? Did she really move?" Maoyou held up the sniper rifle and trembled slightly. He didn't see clearly how the servant instantly cut into the formation, and then used the knife to cut off Qiao's arm. of. If this is some kind of space teleportation application, I am afraid it would still be acceptable. The problem is - there is an ice wall left by the previous winter solstice in the corridor. A visible dent appears on the ice wall. Time and discernment suddenly appear. They appear at exactly the same time.
His brain was telling him that discernment had indeed "moved" over.
"Pina."
Under this situation, Fengdai still calmly judged the situation. With a click of his fingers, a new moving barrier fell into the palm of his hand, blocking Mingjing's sword that rushed behind Ping Na within a millisecond. The sword's edge was on the invisible barrier. There was a shower of sparks and even a few rusty pieces falling off.
"That's just an ordinary sword."
Li Beiyangmu had already seen the details of Mingjing in these two pauses, "She doesn't have a higher-level weapon, she herself is E-level."
The theory behind this grading standard was originally proposed because human beings cannot break through their limits and need the assistance of external objects. The same principle applies whether it is weapons, equipment, or magic spells. Because of this, the lowest level is the Ex-Physical (physical limit breakthrough) level.
As the times change, people will always continue to pursue their own improvement. As various technologies continue to advance and develop, their physical fitness is also quietly growing. "Physical limits" can be bypassed through various methods, and right now His discernment is exactly one such person.
"Our speed can't keep up." Lu Ning herself couldn't even capture the opponent's movement trajectory, let alone fight. In a sense, Mingjian restrained her more than Dongzhi.
But after all, she is not a full-time combatant.
"That's not necessarily the case!"
The third attack was held by Rosa with an anchor.
The corners of Mingjian's mouth curled up slightly, and his body swayed and he took three steps back. Rosa, on the other hand, held the anchor tightly with both hands, stared at Ming Bian's body, and also evoked a similar smile.
"You are also a monster..." Lu Ning sighed.
"It just so happens that the medicine is not working anymore! Let me try to see what kind of skills this guy has!"
Li Beiyangmu quickly stepped aside. He hadn't regained his sword skills yet, so he wouldn't be able to support him for a while. As for Lu Ning, she could support him, but Rosa's confident look reminded her of the scene before she recruited Rosa to join the team. fighting.
After a short pause, Rosa and Mingjian over there really got into each other's hands.
The difference is obvious.
There is no doubt that Rosa's melee combat ability is at its peak, but unfortunately her opponent has gone beyond the scope of normal humans. If Rosa hadn't made up for the gap with the weapons in her hands, she probably wouldn't have been able to last five seconds.
In just the blink of an eye, sparks and a series of crashing sounds sounded between the two of them. This was basically a level that Lu Ning felt that he would never be able to achieve in his life with physical training alone. Mingjian was even still wandering around, and Rosa could barely keep up with the enhancement of the potion. The two only fought for more than 20 seconds, and only heard a breaking sound. The rusty sword in Mingjian's hand was finally broken by Rosa. One was broken.
The difference in the quality of the weapons seemed to be expected by Mingjian. She threw the broken sword at Ping Na, and then pressed the iron surface on her face with her free hand.
"Here we come." Fengdai glanced at Lu Ning immediately. Lu Ning naturally knew what she meant. Although Rosa must have not fought enough, she could not let the other party actually activate the spell that seemed to be problematic.
Time stopped.
The cold wind stopped and the movements stopped. This was the first time that Lu Ning entered a state of time suspension, and this feeling was very strange... It always made her feel like she was holding the whole world in her hands.
She raised her feet and stepped on the filaments left by the matchmaker in the air. These were all things left from the previous raid. Because they were too light, they were still floating in the air. And when time is suspended, they are the strongest stairs.
Lu Ning ran to the top of Mingjian in a few steps and raised the crescent moon. It didn't take long, just two seconds to gather it.
Flicker, cut out, the arc formed by the light becomes about to unfold, suspended in the air - the derivatives produced by the stopped object will still be stopped when it is released. This is the previous use of "Aria" attack. Osmond's conclusion.
Then, he charged up his power again and fired a second arc of light behind him.
On the left side, on the right side, and finally in front of her, because Rosa was too close to her, Lu Ning could only slash twice diagonally, blocking all the directions that Mingjian could move.
"It's a pity that you only have your own super speed."
Lu Ning glanced at her pocket watch. Nearly a minute had passed due to double consumption. She closed the watch cover and time started flowing again.
Discernment can react.
There is still a slight time difference at the moment when the time stop ends, and the extraordinary reflexes of ordinary people are enough to know what is happening around them. It's just that the problem she faced was the same as Rosa faced her - she could react, but she couldn't catch it.
Two arcs of light cut into Ming Bing's body. She still activated the function of the mask on her face. Everyone suddenly felt that their eyes were darkened and they could not see anything.
"Deprivation of vision... if it is fired, it will really affect the situation of the battle." Lu Ning wiped his eyes and switched to the vision of Hujian, and found that this deprivation was indeed thorough, and Hujian could not be used at all.
It seems like sensory deprivation training should be on the agenda.
As Mingjing died, the dark vision returned to normal within a short period of time. Rosa glanced at Lu Ning with some dissatisfaction, but at this time she also knew that once her vision disappeared, she would definitely die instantly, so she was just not happy with the battle. It's a bit of a pity.
Lu Ning walked to the body that had been turned into three parts and squatted down.
This is indeed a powerful trump card hidden among the servants. The gap between E-level body quality and E-level weapons and equipment is really huge.
She rummaged through the corpse and realized that there really wasn't anything good on her body. Although Lu Ning wanted to pry the mask off her face, she gave up the plan after scanning it and found that only a blind person could use it. .
In the end she found only an old book bound with thread and a scroll in a lined pocket sewn with sturdy leather on the inside.
The cover of the old book was written with the words "Practice and Taoism" in a very elegant font. It was probably a way to improve oneself to level E. However, such secret books were never useful to tourists. Lu Ning only took a rough look at it. He glanced at it and threw it aside.
The scroll is a map.
Based on that book, discernment should be practiced in various dangerous areas in the suburbs. This map was also a map she drew by the way. Just looking at the map, the clearly visible footprints are quite far away, even further away than the places Lu Ning knew in his memory. Perhaps this is the most intuitive manifestation of his strength.
But this is not the only thing worth noting. After looking across the vast area of the suburbs, Lu Ning found the area surrounding the alley, then the inner streets, then the city walls, pavilions...
She looked at the map in surprise. This expression also attracted her teammates. Except for Kuribei Yangmu who was still putting together the sword combination and Qiao who was healing herself, the others gathered around her.
Mao You shouted out everyone's thoughts: "How did you draw this map? Where is the mastermind of the center?"
