The chess players were momentarily confused.
Reiichi Shigure arrived just in time, which completely exceeded his expectations.
Adequate insurance has been taken in advance. Even if Shigure Reiichi received the call for help, he would not be able to arrive in time. Then why...!
"What a strange thing! The skeleton kills the red lion, and the wings block the rain. Is this not a plan?"
How could I possibly formulate such a plan. There is no comparison between Death Wing and Shigure Reiichi! They are not chess pieces of the same level!
The skeleton head and his subordinates can definitely make Caldesia withdraw. This is the development that should have happened. Everything is ready, but why?
"A perfect situation, how can there be any mistakes? A hundred secrets and a sparse, it should be Qiluo."
I had confirmed before that Sebaku entered as scheduled and Reiichi Shigure's phone only received one message.
"Alas! Using illusions to deceive people turns out to be delusions!"
...!
Are they two pieces of information? Using a message for help as a cover, concealing the true purpose...
That's why that car appears!
·
Dingyi area, single-family house with garden.
"Good afternoon, Mo. I hope you can give me an answer. Are you leading this commotion?"
Mo Yuankai stared blankly at the TV screen without replying to what he said on his phone. It wasn't until the middle-aged man on the other end of the phone reminded him again that he said it as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"Good afternoon, principal. You may not believe it, but my car drove out of the garage by itself and ran to participate in the big brawl in the central area."
There was clear anger in Onover's voice.
"Do you think I'm old enough to believe such a lie?"
"...Principal, what you know about me is true."
·
At the last moment before being interrupted by the dust explosion, Qiluo sent two instructions.
The destination of both instructions was Reiichi Shigure's mobile phone. The first command on the surface was a message for help written by her. The second command located on the inner layer is to use a pre-installed application to remotely call a practical sports car with many unexpected functions.
"The Red Meteor has entered autopilot mode. The missing networking module has been detected. Use the built-in map for navigation. If there are any route planning errors, please correct them manually at any time. Passengers please fasten your seat belts and be ready to use the built-in weapons at any time. Warm reminder , please be aware of food residues when eating in the vehicle.”
The bright red sports car was speeding through the traffic, and the car's AI was constantly making monotonous mechanical prompts. Caldesia didn't hear a word of it. While drying her top hat over a low fire, she looked intently at the young man driving the car.
Shigure Reiichi was holding a sharp dagger in his hand.
"The title is Skeleton Head, and he is located close to the Fierce Wing area. He looks like a strong man in black with a skull mask. His commonly used weapons are robotic arms and exoskeleton armor." He counted the enemy's characteristics one by one, "There are more detailed ones. Any additions?”
The blond girl immediately replied: "His real name is John Garcia. He has a bad face under the skull mask and a trashy personality. It's been two minutes since you transferred the ability of the skull to... one."
"There's one minute left, that's enough." The dagger danced deftly on his fingertips, "Cardesia, I suggest you close your eyes first..."
The blond girl grinned, not smiling at all. He frowned in distress and repeated the skull's true name in his mind.
(John Garcia.)
Real name, ability, title, appearance, personality, so much information is enough for him to build a bridge between souls. It only took him ten seconds to sense the enemy in the distance.
(I found you.)
He said in his heart, completely ignoring the enemy's reply.
(Disable ability or die, you have thirty seconds to decide.)
Rei Shigure aimed the tip of the knife at his throat and released the suppression of his will to self-destruct. The sharp blade wiped across the skin and opened the carotid artery. The blood stained the car window red, and the voice was as shrill as the wind!
In the midst of the tragedy, the voice of the young man in a suit remained calm.
"The price is to accept the curse, and the reward is to synchronize the curse."
·
Fierce Wing District, Death Wing headquarters.
The skeleton who had just arrived at the safe house groaned, and blood spurted out from his neck, dyeing the faces of his subordinates a terrifying blood red.
The people in black were in panic, and many of them howled in terror. The guard squad protected the leader and fired into the empty air.
The skull covered the wound and shouted frantically: "First aid class!!"
·
"The price is one day's memory, and the reward is that the fatal wound will no longer bleed for one second."
Pay a small price in exchange for results worth noting.
In just one second, the fatal wound turned into a harmless wound.
On this basis, the cost of treatment will also change accordingly.
"The price is ten minutes of memory, and the reward is the healing of a harmless wound."
One second passed, and Reiichi Shigure's wound healed as before. When the fatal injury no longer existed, blood could no longer flow out.
He is the creator of Curse Scale Trading. He understands the viciousness of this ability better than anyone else, and he also knows better than anyone how to take advantage of loopholes in transactions.
——He is both the fool who makes a deal with the devil and the devil who sets the scales of damnation.
Rei Shigure moved his neck easily, his face looked pale due to the massive blood loss, he pointed the knife at his right wrist and said in his heart.
(Twenty-five seconds to go, right hand now.)
The dagger struck again.
·
The screams of the skeleton made everyone tremble. The wound on his neck had just begun to be treated, and his right wrist was bleeding profusely!
The scene in front of him revealed an indescribable horror and evil nature: the boss, who had always been ruthless and ruthless, was unable to do anything about this attack. His blood was splashed everywhere and his life was lost, as if there was an invisible ghost on him. Use sharp claws to remove flesh and blood!
A senior subordinate suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered something. He shouted in horror: "It's the invisible power of the devil! It's the devil who has come to avenge the red lion!!!"
There was a commotion in the safe house, with screams and roars happening one after another. Only one person knows the truth.
(Twenty-two seconds to go, back to the carotid artery next.)
"ah--!!"
Skeletal Head roared and dispelled his ability. He understands the first aid capabilities of his subordinates. If he suffers another fatal injury, he will never survive. Now he has only this option!
(It’s great that you are willing to obey. Now, let’s stab the carotid artery again.)
His heart stopped for a moment.
(you--)
For the first time, Zushou roared in his heart. Twenty seconds had passed, and he found that there were no new wounds on his body.
(Haha, just a joke, please don’t take it seriously.)
The strange man's laughter was as gentle as the spring breeze, but it made him feel extremely cold.
(We'll leave the rest to be settled in person. See you later, John Garcia.)
The spiritual connection was severed, and his subordinates tried their best to save his life. The corpse's clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
He felt fear.
Fear like never before.
·
What is the principle behind the terrifying ability of the skull? It should be very difficult to find a reasonable explanation for it from the perspective of natural science. However, if we start from the supernatural field and use the "common sense" of the impermanent practitioners to explain it, this ability becomes much easier to understand.
"Death Wings" is a compound curse.
"Cardesia, do you know what a curse is-"
The blonde girl threw half of her body towards him. She carefully stroked the young man's neck and swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Shigurei shrank into his chair in embarrassment: "That..."
The girl checked it carefully and made sure that the wound was really healed, and then she stopped with relief. She pointed at the driver's nose arrogantly: "I don't care what your real ability is, but you are not allowed to cut your neck! What if you are really dead! Next time, cut other parts, like the wrists and so on!!"
The young man in a suit touched his nose, suppressing a smile and said, "Cardesia, cutting your wrists is also a fatal injury..."
The blonde was momentarily speechless.
"You're not allowed to cut your neck anyway! I'll be worried!!"
"Okay." The young man in a suit said obediently, "Back to the previous topic, do you understand the curse?"
"...The straw-piercer hammers nails?"
Two hundred meters away, members of Death Wing piled abandoned vehicles on the main road as a roadblock. Rei Shigure tapped the console, and the side structure of the sports car changed. The four built-in missile launchers rose, and the warheads created a small fireworks a hundred meters away!
"Strictly speaking, this kind of superstitious ritual has no practical benefits in the hands of ordinary people. However, there is no difference in principle between the curse rituals in feudal superstition and the curses used by professionals. They all operate based on the same basic logic, that is, manipulation An unequal trade in probabilities.”
The roadblock was completely blown away, and Caldesia looked at the people in black running away with joy: "Unequal deal?"
"That's right. Some magical spellcasters and void spellcasters use alchemy as the basis of their spells, that is, equivalent exchange. The characteristics of the curse are exactly the opposite of alchemy. It is unequal on the surface. Resentment It doesn’t make sense that the target thousands of miles away will bleed to death after the mage drives a nail into it, right?”
Caldesia tangled her hair with her fingers: "Ahhh... It's like the bastard skull hid far away, but I was hit."
"As expected of Caldesia. However, the real curse is not so convenient. The prerequisite for the establishment of unequal transactions is harsh conditions: status difference, distance, negative emotions, physical condition... As long as these are met, these do not exist on the table. Only with the 'hidden conditions' can unequal transactions truly be established."
Among them, the most commonly applied conditions are "distance" and "damage". The closer the caster is to the victim, and the more harm the caster himself suffers from the object, the stronger the effect of the curse and the less costly it is.
This is why he has to communicate with the soul of the dead head first. Communication is a collision between heart and heart. The ability of telepathy can be used as a substitute for "contact" in a symbolic sense; there is an invisible connection between the cursed person and the cursed person; complying with the will of self-destruction and self-mutilation can be used as the "condition" for the establishment of the curse. ", which can also be used as the "price" paid for the curse... The combination of multiple factors, Shigure Reiichi is almost equivalent to holding the skull's throat with his own hands.
However, after the skeleton head removed the interference of Death Wings, one of the conditions disappeared at the same time. Carrying out a curse of the same level again would cost more, so it would be a more rational decision to deal with the opponent directly.
He was going to talk to Caldesia about this, and also explain the details of the skull's abilities. He had just started when he was interrupted.
"Let me tell you, Reiichi." The blonde looked at him with hatred, "How can a boy use curses as a topic on a date?!"
"...I thought you wanted to know."
In the rearview mirror, the men in black chasing each other on motorcycles were getting closer and closer. Caldesia rolled down the window and threw two fireballs backwards. boom! Bang! The riders of Deathwing were all on fire, but the other unrelated vehicles were not affected at all. She didn't even look at the results of her victory: "Normally, let's talk about something else!"
"..." Shigurei held it in for a long time, "Do you listen to music?"
She smiled like a wriggling caterpillar.
"Don't say "Congratulations on getting rich, okay!" Caldesia wiped the corners of her eyes, "I'm afraid I'll go crazy laughing with super powers."
"I never thought it would be a pop song..."
No. 1 is lyrical, No. 2 is classical, No. 3 is light music, No. 4 is pop music, and No. 5 is folk music. He hesitated for a few seconds and was about to click on CD No. 2. There should be nothing wrong with classical music.
"It turns out it's classified as a pop song! Let me see what other songs are in this car's pop music list."
It was a pity that the driver was a step too slow. Caldesia had not forgotten what he had done in the morning. She pressed No. 4, and there was unspeakable despair on the young man's face.
The prelude this time is a string of electronic sounds with strong rhythm, and the male lead singer is crooning in the accompaniment.
"Do you like my car..."
The accompaniment becomes more and more exciting, and the song is officially sung!
"Guess you're ready. Cause I'm waiting for you!?"
(You should be ready. Because I have been waiting for you)
"It's going!?"
(What’s coming is going to be very exciting!)
Rei Shigure breathed a sigh of relief, and Caldesia whistled.
"This is also a popular song. How many years ago was it? We should speed up!"
A few more black spots appeared in the rearview mirror, and the warning sound and song of the car AI sounded at the same time.
"Warning, three armed helicopters have been detected approaching. Please unbuckle your seat belts, collect your weapons, and fight back in time."
Deathwing even launched its helicopter. It looked like the skull was really frightened.
A personal rocket launcher bounced up from the middle of the back seat, and Reiichi Shigure asked tentatively.
"Caldesia, would you mind driving for me for a while?"
The blonde girl cheered and eagerly grabbed the steering wheel. He stuck his head out of the skylight, picked up the rocket launcher, and at the same time scratched his fingertips and drew a crying face on the back of his hand.
The basic rune of the wild phase method can temporarily increase the strength of the physical body to a small extent.
"...I'm crazy...I wanna race for you shall I go now??"
(I have lost my mind...can we start? Come and race!)
As the song got better, Caldesia sang along loudly.
He aimed at the helicopter, the muzzle roared, and the rockets rushed into the sky with tail-like smoke, turning a helicopter into a huge fireball!
The recoil was greater than he expected, and the car trembled slightly. He was very glad that he had used runes to strengthen it in advance. The remaining two helicopters separated vigilantly. He lowered his head to avoid a series of machine gun fire. To be on the safe side, the rest had to be solved with a cursed scale——
At this moment, a sharp sound broke through the air, and two black lights flashed, and the helicopter's propeller fell off! The steel vehicle was spinning downwards, and a girl with flying black hair was standing on the roof not far away. She held a black long bow, looked at the red sports car, and gave the young man a thumbs up from a distance.
Shigure Reiichi responded with the same action.
"Thank you, Qin Qianbai."
He returned to the driver's seat, and there were still a few hundred meters before he reached the Baifa Bridge leading to the Fierce Wing District. Smoke billowed from the middle section of the bridge, and the blown-out bridge lane fell into the lower lanes below, causing a traffic jam comparable to that of Friday night. The men in black stood on the other side of the bridge, yelling and cursing, and launched colorful superpower attacks at the sports car!
Caldesia reluctantly let go of the steering wheel.
"Change the route and go downstairs?"
"That's not necessary."
The ominous group of dark buildings was getting closer and closer, and beyond the broken bridge was the vicious wing area built on the right wing of the dragon. Shigure Reiichi pressed the attractive big red button in the center of the steering wheel. The Red Meteor accelerated at full power, with jet fighter-like gliders protruding from the side of the bright red body!
"Gas gas gas! I'm gohe I'll fly and be your lover!?"
(Gas gas gas! Push it to the bottom! Tonight I will soar to the sky and become your lover!)
The men in black looked above their heads in horror, and even forgot to continue attacking for a moment. The bright red sports car flew into the air on the unbroken ramp, and the sunlight coated it with a layer of dazzling gold, as if the sun god in ancient legends was traveling in a carriage, flying heroically in the air!
The Red Meteor transformed in mid-air, and when it landed in the Fierce Wing area, its iron fist hit the ground, causing the people in black to flee!
Caldesia shook her head in her seat.
"Tell me honestly, why did you drive this car to pick me up this morning?"
"I swear I just want to take you for a ride." He looked at the direction pointed by the wings, "I thought these functions would never be used."
"What now?"
After turning into a robot, the Red Meteor seemed to have some ideas of its own. The fact that the music was automatically set to play out was one of the proofs.
"Yeah yeah yeah! I'll be so quick as a !?"
(Yeah yeah yeah! I'm as fast as lightning now!)
The singer on the CD shares his passion with the trembling people in black.
"And I'll be your hero——!?"
(I will be your hero——!)
Reiichi Shigure muttered these lyrics and shrugged.
"Now, how should I put it...I think Gongsun is right. It's always good to be more prepared."
The red robot strode like its name, and the safe house of the skeleton was right in front of him.
