When his consciousness returned, Gongsun Ce found himself in a pure white space.
For a moment, he thought it was a midday nightmare that struck him during the battle. Then he saw another person existing in this space.
Ten meters away, a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses stood facing him. He was wearing a brown coat, a black vest and old-style jeans. He was tall and strong, and he was the leader of the dragon worshipers. His posture is natural and careless, reminding Gongsun Ce of the family of a certain expressionless girl.
This man must be a good player in close combat, that's what the superpower judged in his heart.
The man in sunglasses said: "I am Xu Junyi, the desolate phase envoy of the manifest realm. Tell me your name."
"Gongsun Ce, a superpower." Gongsun Ce looked at the empty world: "Is this the impermanent method that reveals the realm? It's really different from the two Huangxiang and Tongshen."
"Oh. Your psychological quality is very good... Not bad. It saves me the effort of appeasing your mentality."
Xu Junyi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, a lighter appeared out of thin air in his hand, and asked, "Do you mind?"
"I don't care if you stay away from me."
He did.
The middle-aged man took a few steps back, lit a cigarette, and started smoking with his back turned to him without warning.
Gongsun Ce was speechless for a moment. He didn't know whether this was a condition for the opponent's ability to activate, or some kind of psychological warfare for a specific purpose. If it is an ability that "the enemy will die when certain conditions are met," then doing nothing is undoubtedly wrong. Out of caution, he decided to protect himself first, laying out invisible threads, flying into the air with his ability, and using the solid wall of white matter to block possible attacks——
"?!"
Gongsun Ce was shocked.
There is no silk thread, no flying, and no white substance. The ability that used to be activated naturally like raising an arm, but now there is no response no matter how you call... It's like a normal person has lost his limbs, called powerlessness. The feeling kept echoing in his heart, and the annoyance caused by the dislocation was almost nauseating.
"Don't be surprised," the dragon worshiper said calmly, "neither you nor I can use any ability beyond common sense, because what we are going to have is a fair fight... a fight as fair as possible. "
Xu Junyi put out his cigarette butt, walked step by step, and stopped ten meters away.
The superpower guessed the meaning of this sentence, and he came up with an answer that was extremely unfavorable to him.
"Deprive both sides of their superpowers and decide the winner in this space? This is different from the wild phase I know."
The man in sunglasses smiled.
"Heh... you understand the absurdity. Is a layman who has never practiced the law of impermanence qualified to set his own standards?"
"...I am speechless. However, this kind of battle is not very fair to me."
Gongsun Ce, who has lost his superpowers, is just a college student with good physical fitness.
He didn't know fighting skills and had no professional training. Let him compete with the middle-aged man in front of him who seemed to be able to fight a bear with his bare hands. He was afraid that he would be declared defeated before the fight even started.
"Absolute fairness naturally does not exist. But I will not go so far as to decide the outcome with you. You will know all the information about my impermanent law, and you will also clearly understand how you will deal with this. There is no concealment in this duel... because these are the rules in the game of Yin Yin, the rules that appear in my heart."
The man in sunglasses put his right foot on the ground, and a huge round table like a casino board appeared in the empty space.
He raised three fingers: "I decide the way to determine the winner, and you decide the venue of the battle and the assistance you will receive. A party that loses the ability to fight will be regarded as a failure. Even if the loser dies in the fight, You will not lose your life in reality, but within this day, you must not harm the winner by any means, and you must obey all the instructions of the winner. This is my absurd appearance and manifestation, a game where all conditions are open and transparent A fair fight.”
"Must obey the winner's orders...?"
Gongsun Ce focused on the final result. If his understanding is correct, the loser in this fight will be completely dominated by the winner.
He understood how the other party came to the underground.
"You used your manifestation against the official people? Because you won the battle, they had to help you cover your tracks... They had to take you to the underground of the Sky City!"
Xu Junyi nodded slightly.
"Although those fat-bellied bureaucrats in the United States have lost their physical strength, they don't have much brains left. Getting here is easier than I thought. It's my mission to find the building leading to the underground and knock down everyone in it one by one. It’s over.”
Gongsun Ce imagined a group of fat middle-aged men in suits and ties fighting this man, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy in his heart.
He also thought that he would be the one to fight in the future, and his sympathy turned into a heart-wrenching helplessness.
The bespectacled young man asked very quickly: "How much time in the real world will our battle consume?"
"In an instant. So you don't have to think about delaying time. Even if you stand here for a hundred years, less than a second will pass in reality."
"Isn't that great? I have enough confidence to stand here and talk nonsense with you..."
He suddenly covered his mouth.
The words that were about to be spoken stopped for no reason, and some invisible force rushed into his mouth, stopping the young man from speaking in the most brutal way.
The middle-aged man in sunglasses smiled and said: "I have already said that you cannot lie to each other in this space. You do not have the confidence to say something for a thousand years, so naturally you cannot tell such lies."
Another rule that prohibits lying.
The world is really harsh on people who are used to lying to cope with situations.
"Ah...Okay. Talking about the conditions of the battle just now, how about I decide the method of deciding the outcome, and you decide the venue and your assistance?"
Xu Junyi put his hands in his pockets and looked at him calmly: "If you decide to use video games, or racing cars, to start a duel in other fields that I don't know about, how should I deal with it? Do you think such a duel can be called fair? Similarly, if I said that the outcome should be determined by chess or Go, would you agree?"
"Let's forget about chess sports."
I can't find any holes to take advantage of.
He gradually began to understand the other party's thoughts, and his impermanence method seemed to be set up for only one purpose - that is, as he said at the beginning, a fair duel.
Xu Junyi stretched out his hand and patted the round table. Countless simple drawings flashed across the table, and finally settled on two little figures with fists and feet.
"The fighting method I have designated is fighting that everyone knows. Deciding the outcome with fists, kicks, and weapons is a universal solution to disputes between humans that exists in any era."
The young man with glasses said sarcastically: "It's really fair to decide the outcome in a fight with a muscular man like you who is good at close combat."
"Therefore I give you compensation. You can choose the venue for the battle and the aid of an item. If you are dissatisfied with the difference in strength, you can find ways to win with wisdom."
The dragon worshiper pointed his finger at the round table: "Put your hands on the table and imagine the duel field you want. There cannot be any traps that hinder both parties. Both of us can see all the details. If you imagine If not, let this table decide randomly.”
The bespectacled young man took a deep breath and put his hands on the table.
He knew that he was about to fight a battle that was extremely unfavorable to him. He lost his superpower, just like a sniper lost his gun or a swordsman lost his sword. He had nowhere to use his skills.
Environment and assistance are the only possibilities for him to turn defeat into victory. He must find an environment in which he can hope to win...an environment that gives him an advantage even if the opponent sees through it.
Gongsun Ce mobilized his memory and looked for materials that might come in handy in past battles. A panoramic view of the site appeared on the round table in front of him: a construction site surrounded by green fences.
Yellow sand is flying under the gloomy sky. Steel bars and concrete are piled in the open space next to the blue carpentry shed. Bulldozers are placed next to the sand piles. Dump trucks are parked at the door of the shed. Lunch boxes and cigarette butts are thrown in the sand, as if they were not long ago. There is also a group of construction workers working here.
"oh……"
Xu Junyi was just about to say something when he noticed that another abandoned factory-like building appeared in the center of the construction site. The picture on the round table continued to zoom in, allowing him to see the inside of the old factory building - it was full of strange facilities, including pumps, lifts, mustard machines and other equipment that could be seen in the maintenance workshop, as well as The welding guns and protective masks that could be seen at the construction site, as well as many bright silver streamlined equipment that he could not recognize, made him confused for a while.
He also found some odds and ends on the ground, on large equipment, and in many corners of the factory building, such as screws, bolts, metal fragments... and extraordinarily large warheads.
The young man opened his eyes and said: "The duel site I designated is this factory. I want to confirm the distance. Did we both appear here at the same time? How far will our initial distance be maintained?"
The man in sunglasses put his hands behind his back, believing that he had guessed the other party's plan.
"Appear at the same time, ten meters apart. You should be planning to use these fragmentary parts and professional equipment as weapons to win. How to use them? Are you going to improvise something based on the technology of the Sky City? Or, are you going to use these? Ready-made materials used as ammunition to take my life?"
"..."
The gray-haired young man frowned and said nothing.
Such a reaction made him feel more confident in his guess, because no matter how cunning his opponent was, he could do nothing if he could only speak truthfully. When he was pointed out the hidden battle plan, he had no choice but to remain silent.
The middle-aged man stared into his opponent's eyes and continued to exert psychological pressure on him: "You can ask for another item for assistance. This item can only be a small or medium-sized item that is useful in close combat. It can do anything. Known to me. If you ask for a firearm, you cannot bring more than two bullets."
"Thank you for explaining. Can I ask you what your opponents chose today?"
Xu Junyi smiled and nodded: "You can ask, but I won't tell."
"You're so cautious... Then, it's time for me to think about my weapons."
Gongsun Ce put his hand on top of the round table.
A black stream of light appeared under his palm.
The black that absorbed all the colors turned into twisted lines, slowly emerging from the center of the round table.
Xu Junyi could see the two-edged sword body without a blood groove, the hilt wrapped with blood-colored cloth strips, and the spikes extending from the pommel like a twisted cross.
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, and he immediately realized that it was a weapon, a weapon that should not exist in reality.
It was as if the dark night had turned into a viscous liquid, then been burned into shape by pale flames, and the blade was forged after being bathed in blood.
An unknown pitch-black sword.
The sword was so sharp that just looking at the shape it was about to take made his eyes feel stinging under his sunglasses.
"I forgot to tell you that your assistance needs to be a creation that does not belong to the ordinary side...anything involving supernormal abilities should not exist in this battle."
Xu Junyi tapped the round table, and the unformed sharp blade instantly turned into a ray of light and dispersed.
The superpower's expression remained normal, and he did not get angry because of the sudden addition of rules: "I personally hope you can explain the rules clearly earlier. Then I want this, a field protection device for individual combat. There is no non-common sense element in this. It is a pure technological product.”
He reached out to the round table again, but this time nothing appeared from it.
Xu Junyi said calmly: "The high-tech weapons in the Sky City are also not common sense in the eyes of people like me who live outside. There should not be such illegal weapons in a fair fight. This As it should be.”
The young man smiled sarcastically: "Common sense? Whose common sense did you base your judgment on, your own?"
"This is my manifestation, and what takes effect in it is naturally my common sense..." Xu Junyi tapped the table with his fingers, "Don't try to take advantage of any loopholes in a fair duel. Under my rules, any assistance that violates the rules is impossible." appeared."
Gongsun Ce was too lazy to evaluate whether this rule was fair or not. He concentrated on thinking about other weapons that could be used: "Portable mental control device."
"Violation."
"Small plasma hand cannon."
"Violation."
"Biochemical Slime."
"Violation."
Violation, violation, violation... Under the judgment of the dragon worshipers, all the weapons Gongsun Ce conceived failed to take shape. The gray-haired young man's face was already very ugly at this time. Xu Junyi simply turned into a stool and smiled at his enemy: "Don't be wishful thinking, kid. You might as well just use the pistol... Oh, when choosing a firearm, bullets You can only bring two at most.”
"cut……!"
The gray-haired young man punched the round table, which made him feel certain.
Xu Junyi laughed secretly in his heart.
Previously, he added the rules sentence by sentence just to make the opponent's mentality even more unbalanced. But now his tactics were working. When he found that he could not think of a way to win despite racking his brains, and when he was deprived of the biggest weapon he had ever used in the battle, this young man had lost his mind.
He is too accustomed to this kind of performance. Whether it is a superpower or an impermanent magician, powerful superpowers are often the biggest support in the hearts of such people. They often do not realize that their battle is to defeat inability with ability, and to defeat weak ability with strong ability. In this, the strength of the person itself cannot be seen, but only the inequality brought by ability.
And once they come to a truly fair battlefield, losing the advantages brought by their supernormal abilities, and losing the calmness brought by technology and technology, they have to reveal their weak true bodies hidden under the fortress... That is by no means inner. The tough and strong people are just weak people with twisted minds one after another.
The super-powered person tapped the edge of the round table anxiously, and a red mechanical glove appeared in front of him.
The gloves have extremely exaggerated semi-circular hand guards, and there are five small holes on the knuckles. You can tell at a glance that there are built-in devices.
Gongsun Ce quickly said: "The multifunctional mechanical glove has built-in lighting, unlocking, buzzing, and positioning functions. It also comes with one smoke grenade and tear gas grenade. It can be launched like a missile to cause damage to the enemy."
The middle-aged man in sunglasses shook his head: "It's barely a usable weapon, but it's a pity that you haven't finished telling me everything. It's still a kind of deception. If it violates the rules of this world, you can't use it in combat."
"You didn't seem to have told me all the rules just now, did you?"
"I told you later, didn't I?"
Gongsun Ce stared at him and squeezed out a few words from his mouth: "This glove can be filled with small metals and fired as bullets."
Where should he find the tiny metal?
Naturally, it’s the odds and ends scattered everywhere in the dilapidated factory building.
"Ha... Hahaha! Okay, I agree!" Xu Junyi stood with his hands behind his back and laughed loudly, "Boy, you really made a wrong decision. You set up complex terrain, placed useless details, and tried your best to move it. I was paying attention, but I didn’t expect that the rules I revealed were specifically designed to restrain cleverness like you. It’s such a waste of effort, I might as well pick a firearm and put it in my hand!”
The superpower sneered and said: "Sorry, I have never fired a gun. I'm afraid it will be your help if I do."
"You can rest assured that you will not really die. You will only become a member of the new world like me. Then, you will regret what you have done now... Just wait, there are still ten seconds left, and the duel will begin. It will begin."
The empty space changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them were in the middle of the dilapidated factory building.
The leader of the dragon worshipers took off his sunglasses and assumed a fighting stance.
"Huang Xiang's envoy, Xu Junyi."
The gray-haired young man looked at him expressionlessly and raised the glove on his right hand.
"Superpower person, Gongsun Ce.
3...2...1!
The final countdown ended, and the invisible force that bound the two people disappeared at the same time. Gongsun Ce immediately activated the mechanism in the glove, and a smoke bomb was shot out from it, and the dilapidated factory building was instantly filled with white smoke!
"little tricks."
Xu Junyi put one foot on the ground and rushed towards the corner on his right front. During the preparation time just now, he could clearly see that there was the only place where parts were piled up that was both close to the young man and further away from him. He had already anticipated the development of the opening. The super-powered person would definitely disrupt his vision and go here to replenish ammunition and launch an attack!
It's a pity that the young man misjudged the physical difference between the two of them, and his actions were much faster than the other party imagined! The man in sunglasses rushed forward at a speed that was unmatched by ordinary people. He kicked away the pile of parts on the ground, turned around and punched out!
"oh?"
The iron fist broke through the fog, but failed to hit the young man who was supposed to be here. Was his judgment wrong? Xu Junyi punched several times in a row, and the wind of the punch blew away the thin smoke, allowing him to finally capture the enemy's figure.
Gongsun Ce disappeared at the door of the dilapidated factory. He actually abandoned the advantageous terrain and fled outside the factory!
The dragon worshiper carefully protected his body to guard against the young man's sneak attack, and stepped forward step by step.
"Boy, you are just wasting your efforts... This place is as big as you set it up, and you can't escape from this boundary."
While using his words to undermine the enemy's morale, he guessed what the young man was thinking.
The enemy this time does not look like a reckless man... Even if his mentality is already unstable before the war begins, he should not be confused at the beginning.
He walked out of the factory cautiously and quickly observed the surrounding environment.
"...!"
Xu Junyi's pupils dilated.
He happened to see the moment when the gray-haired young man took action, the superpower punched a glass window.
The window glass located on the left side of the vehicle.
The earth-yellow steel weight placed outside the dilapidated factory building, the most common means of transportation at the construction site, the window glass of the sand and earth truck...!
The gray-haired young man had a calm expression and decisive actions, but there was no hint of anxiety or uneasiness on his face. He jumped into the car nimbly, started the engine without saying a word, and dozens of tons of heavy objects roared into action, charging towards the man in the trench coat!
"you!!!!"
"Come on, a fair and just one-on-one fight!" Gongsun Ce shouted amidst the rumbling noise: "All kinds of martial arts, this is a dump truck!"
