Finding the stairs leading to the third floor was not very smooth. Wu Ming and his team almost walked around the second floor before finding the stairs to the third floor.
Of course, we encountered several waves of unlucky nightmare entities along the way. Without exception, they were either beaten to the point of doubting their lives by Alex, or they were hammered to the point of doubting their lives by Alex again after fighting Wu Ming and Zhao Sida.
And Wu Ming also roughly figured out the strength of the nightmare body in these few battles.
With his current physical fitness and the use of personas, Wu Ming has almost no pressure to face two nightmare entities at the same time. One against four will be a bit reluctant, but if he adjusts and switches personas in time according to the battle situation, he still has a chance of winning, but if If more than six nightmare bodies appear, he will definitely be unable to defeat them as there is currently no large-scale damage and he cannot crush a single nightmare body, so he can only choose to run away.
This also made Wu Ming clearly realize how strong the strong man named Alex, who was actually a humanoid tank, was in front of him.
Not long after arriving on the third floor, Wu Ming and his party found the door of the central hall on the third floor based on the coordinates. However, they heard the faint sound of someone arguing inside. Wu Ming cautiously glanced at the hall. Looking at the scene inside, I found that there were three people inside who deliberately lowered their voices and were arguing fiercely. I even accidentally discovered a familiar face among these three people.
It was the young man he met at noon today.
It's just that the young man in the hall seemed to be much more embarrassed than what Wu Ming saw at noon. There was obviously more stubble on his face, his right eye was blue, and he didn't know who the flashy sword was. Instead of stuffing it back into his chest, the clothes on his body were so tattered that they were almost reduced to strips of cloth. Even if he was running on the street to be a beggar, his image would not feel out of place, and his spirit looked very tired and sluggish. But he didn't know if it was an illusion. Wu Ming vaguely felt that the young man was a little older than what he saw at noon.
The other two people, a man and a woman, seemed to have a disagreement with the young man on some issue. Wu Ming listened intently and held his breath, but even though the strengthening effect had initially appeared on him, there was no way for him to hear them clearly lowering their voices. What were they arguing about? I only heard a few scattered nouns with no logical connection. There was no way to form a complete sentence based on these to infer the cause and effect of their quarrel.
Not only them, Wu Ming also found the student girl he saw on the sixth floor at noon in the hall. She seemed to have fallen into a coma and was randomly thrown away from the three of them. Her clothes and body were covered with mud. There were bruises of varying degrees, although it looked like she had suffered a lot, but if we did not count the psychological shadow of this student girl, it seemed that she had only suffered minor skin injuries so far.
After roughly understanding the situation inside, Wu Ming quietly stepped back with a strange smile on his face: "We are meeting again just now for a meal... It is really destined..."
Zhao Sida's eyes flickered as if she thought of something: "What happened at noon today?"
"Well, that's him." Wu Ming, who had already explored the opponent once at noon, gestured for everyone to ambush first, and then briefly told Alex and Zhao Sida what they had experienced at noon, and He reminded: "All in all, this battle is best fought quickly. I don't know the details of the other two people, but judging from what the young man said, they probably also have that weird big sword and some kind of unique psychic ability." .”
Alex nodded thoughtfully: "I told you how I made him run away when I first met him. It turned out that he took the opportunity to change his life after chatting with him for too long. Cognition ran away with the girl.”
"Have you fought with him before?"
"Not counting the battle... I followed the traces all the way to find him." Alex smiled and scratched his head: "I don't like to carry out meaningless killings. I think people will always go the wrong way. , and these people who have gone astray sometimes just need someone to help them get back on the right path, so every time I have a long talk with the target, talk about life with him, and see if I can Use dialogue to persuade the other party to change their ways, so as not to cause too much trouble in the fight."
Wu Ming was a little frightened. He thought that it must be a great torture to sit with this fierce and fierce man and talk about life for a long time. There may be some hard-core people here who think that the man is indestructible and want to fight him to the death: "What if the other party refuses to listen and even wants to run away?"
Alex said with a serious face: "Then we can only break his legs first and then have a long talk with him. As long as they haven't done anything heinous, I am willing to give anyone a chance to change their ways. I I also know that persuading people to be good is a very difficult thing, but I think it would be good if I can persuade and help one more person to change their ways within my ability. But if they persist in their persistence, in order to protect other good people from harm , I can only pray that he can be a good person in his next life."
Prayer (Physics): First knock the stubborn evil person to death, and then offer prayers and blessings to him, hoping that he will be a good person in the next life.
At least that's how Wu Ming understood this macho hunter's approach.
You can also see the serious expression on this macho man's face. Most of the prayers he said were the same as what Wu Ming understood, with a parenthetical physics at the end.
Alex's previous display of great power made Wu Ming feel that this time was probably another unsuspecting crushing round, but considering that their main mission this time was to rescue ordinary people and fulfill her wish. In order to gain a good reputation instead of shooting the hostages together, Wu Ming decided to simply assign their respective tasks. He patted Elizabeth gently and called softly: "Wake up, get ready to fight."
Elizabeth, who seemed to have fallen asleep, seemed to have heard Wu Ming's call, yawning and slowly woke up: "Hmm...brother? Who are we going to fight today?"
When Zhao Sida saw Elizabeth, who had been unable to wake up before, and opened her sleepy eyes after being patted a few times by Wu Ming, she couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Are you awake now? You idiot is really targeting me. .”
Wu Ming didn't hear Zhao Sida's muttering behind him, so he touched Elizabeth's head and said, "Elizabeth, come and create a spiritual link group."
Although Elizabeth had just woken up and still hadn't figured out what was going on, out of her trust in Wu Ming, she basically did it without thinking about it, and combined Zhao Sida, Wu Ming, Alex and her My own spirit and thoughts are linked together with extraordinary power.
Then several people present heard the voice echoing in their minds.
The mental communication was very fast, and in the blink of an eye what Wu Ming wanted to say was conveyed to them and they reached a consensus.
Wu Ming took out several palm-sized cards from his pocket, which were the personas he had transformed from shadow monsters before.
"Then, let's start the experiment."
