Zhou Lin - Chapter 248 A fight to the death (Part 1)

The moment cracks appeared in the defensive field around Xian Xiaoxiao, Delaya knew…the chance of victory had appeared.

This space was created by Delea. She is like God here. Xian Xiaoxiao’s abilities are cognitively limited and there is no reason to compete with her.

In the blink of an eye, invisible forces began to gather under the gray sky, and the entire space began to tremble.

Those missiles that were originally flying at a constant speed accelerated in an instant, transcended the rules of physics, turned into streaks of light, and hit Xian Xiaoxiao’s location.

At the same time as the missile exploded, the sky also collapsed. The sky and clouds that were not supposed to have entity were instantly shattered into pieces of huge crystal fragments that fell, falling and rushing like meteorites. …The target is naturally Xian Xiaoxiao.

And above the collapsed sky, a dark and deep void appeared, and violent energy swept through the void, seemingly endless.

Finally, under this round of attacks, Xian Xiaoxiao’s defensive force field was completely shattered, and the energy impact caused by the explosion and super matter impact swallowed it up.

Her consciousness… was interrupted, and Delea could sense this, so Delea withdrew from the space at the moment the opponent was unconscious, and quickly collapsed it into a singularity, disappearing into the void. middle.

After completing this, Delea immediately teleported to Ji Jue’s side; when she stood still, two lines of nosebleeds slowly flowed down under her iron mask, but she quickly stopped it with her mind power.

It’s settled, Master Juezun. She said these words coldly, and then stood there, waiting for the next order.

Just like Zi Lin controlled Xian Xiaoxiao, Ji Jue also used some methods to control Delaya.

To put it simply – the iron mask on Delea’s face is a brainwashing device that continues to take effect.

Although the mask seemed to be worn on Delea’s face, it was actually worn on her head; there were hundreds of metal wires as thin as hair on the inside of the iron mask, which looked like The needles with hooks pierced deeply into Delea’s scalp, passed through the skull, connected to her brain, controlled her thinking, and ensured that she obeyed the orders of Lord Jue.

Of course, the side effects of this thing are also obvious: first, it will make the wearer’s mental state unstable, and his personality will become more withdrawn, paranoid, moody, and have a certain tendency to violence; second, because this mask has When it was designed, no thought was given to how to remove it, so there was no way to remove it. If she had to pull it out, Delea would undoubtedly die.

Some people may wonder, since Ji Jue has such convenient props, why not mass-produce them?

Obviously…because he can’t.

This mask was not made by Ji Jue himself, but stolen by him. It is the only one in the world. Before it fell into Ji Jue’s hands, this mask was stored in a submarine base of the Federation, enjoying the underworld moment” equal security treatment.

Even Ji Jue doesn’t know the detailed origin of this thing. Based on the information he obtained from the Federation, all he can determine is that this mask was made by the late federal genius scientist Charles Rohr more than a hundred years ago. , its function is to control people’s hearts.

What puzzles Ji Jue even more is… the working principle of this thing: you need to apply the blood of the controlled person on the surface of the mask, then apply the blood of the controller on the inside, and then give it to the controlled person Put it on.

Ji Jue didn’t know what the consequences would be if he got these steps wrong, because he had no way to try them. He could only strictly follow the instructions (yes, there are instructions for this thing). Fortunately, in the end It was a success.

But Ji Jue couldn’t figure it out… why did this kind of technological creation use operations similar to religious rituals in its operation?

In fact, if he knew the origin of this mask, he would understand – this mask is made of the biological material of the Second Kingdom called Eye of Cherubim.

After the Battle in the Sky more than a hundred years ago, Tianyi asked a gunsmith (that is, Charles Rolle) to make this thing in case of emergency.

When is this from time to time? Tianyi didn’t know. To be honest, he didn’t particularly need this thing, but the Eye of Cherubim would be a waste if not used. It happened that there was a genius like a gunsmith in that era, so Tianyi took advantage of the gunsmith’s return. He was asked to make things while he was alive; if one day Shi Sanwen develops Alzheimer’s disease, or if a reality corrector like Delaya appears in the world, then it can be used.

As a result, it was left unused for more than a hundred years until it was accidentally stolen by Ji Jue a few years ago. After Tianyi confirmed where Ji Jue was going to use it, he did not intervene.

Hence, today’s situation emerged.

In fact, Delea is also a poor person. She was originally the illegitimate daughter of a federal official. Although she had a comfortable childhood with the secret support of that official, she did not live a happy life; her mother only used her as a bargaining chip to ask for money. He threw her to boarding school since she was a child, and he lived around enjoying himself with the money he squeezed from his father. Even though her parents are still alive, Delea lived her childhood as if both parents had died.

By high school, Delea’s father gradually rose up in the officialdom. Although she was only an illegitimate daughter, she was a direct blood relative after all, so… she was unfortunately targeted by Gui Zun.

Obviously, before the Four-Leaf Clover Incident, Juezun was already doing similar things, but at that time he only arrested a few people at a time, and he did it at different times and places, without causing any problems. What a big battle.

At that time, He Huai’s Chosen Project and the technology of implanting controllable AI in clones were still in the experimental stage, so there was no need to arrest too many people at once, and it was appropriate to arrest some like Delaya – – The second generation X who will not cause much reaction even if he disappears is more suitable, so that even if the experiment fails, no one will investigate.

Unexpectedly, Draya became the first Chosen One to be selected on the Chosen Island.

Although compared to Xian Xiaoxiao, who is innately awakened, Delaya, a reality corrector who is forced to awaken under the pressure of a specific environment, is much weaker, but because she is controlled by Juizun, and She has been awakened for a long time, so she is already well-trained in combat.

Ji Jue is also a person who plans ahead. He has long been prepared for the day when he will face an opponent like Zi Lin, and at that time, Delaya is the absolute trump card in his hand; so from the moment he puts on a mask for Delaya Since that day, apart from going on missions, he has always let Delaya practice her abilities day and night in the phase space created by He Huai.

Delea’s practice involves not eating, drinking, sleeping, or resting… Anyway, when the body is close to collapse, it can be restored to its best state directly using reality correction, so there is no need to worry about the body; as for the mental aspect, wearing iron People wearing this mask will not have a mental breakdown, because collapse means getting rid of control… At most, people who wear this mask will have their personalities gradually distorted under pressure, but they still cannot disobey the will of the controller.

Huh… how about it? It’s beyond your expectation that Delea can kill Xian Xiaoxiao, right? Seeing Delea’s return, Ji Jue immediately spoke to Zi Lin through the Book of Heart.

Indeed, I thought she could kill you, the ‘controller,’ before Delaya made any move. Zi Lin replied.

You know why you miscalculated, right? Ji Jue said again.

Ah… Zi Lin said, Because the ‘Book of Lies’ in my hand gave me wrong information.

And this means… Ji Jue motioned for Zi Lin to continue down the line.

Boss Tian wanted me to miscalculate. Zi Lin continued.

Yes, he saw this step, and he also contributed to this step. Ji Jue said, Do you still think… that if you obey his will, there will be no ending like ‘you will be killed or replaced by me’?

You want to say that he changed his mind? He chose you? Zi Lin said.

Huh… who knows. Ji Jue said, If he hasn’t changed his mind, it means he firmly believes that I can’t win you, and he just deliberately creates some trouble for you for fun… If that’s the case, I will kill you. , throwing an outcome in his face that he didn’t expect; and if he really changes his mind…then I don’t mind obeying him a little, after all, I am a vested interest in that situation.

Anyway, I’m going to die no matter what, right? Zi Lin said.

That’s right. Ji Jue said, Before, without this ‘Book of Lies’, I was still wary of you; because I had too little information about you, and I wasn’t sure whether it would be possible to let Delaya deal with you. What will be the result? If you turn around and tear away my trump card, I will have no way out… But now, the reality corrector under your command has been killed, and I have passed Jack the information on how to kill you. ·The opinions of Anderson, Solid Wilson, and your brother Ziqi have been confirmed…

At this point, his inner voice was suddenly interrupted. At the same second, he himself and Delaya beside him disappeared from Chong Gong Lianren’s sight.

…You are dead. The second half of Ji Jue’s words came directly from his mouth. When he spoke, he and Delea had already appeared in front of Zi Lin.

The distance of half a world can be overcome by reality correctors. However, Delaya suffered some nosebleeds after taking Ji Jue to move. It seemed that… the previous battle had put a considerable load on her. , she couldn’t recover in a short time.

However, Ji Jue doesn’t know or care about this. As long as the tools can still be used, no one cares whether the hammer hurts when hammering nails or whether a wrench hurts when screwing screws…

At this time, Zi Lin was on a piece of ice.

Here, at a glance, the sky is blue and the ground is white, boundless.

Over the centuries, as the polar ice caps have gradually melted, much of the Earth’s landmass has permanently sunk beneath the sea level; at certain seasons of the year, these areas experience lingering ocean tides in low-lying areas. The ice lakes are condensed and connected to form a chain of ice lakes.

These glacial lakes are huge in area, with relatively curved edges, and are connected to land and ice seas. The ice surface is also very solid, and racing on them is no problem.

I can die. Seeing Ji Jue’s arrival, Zi Lin remained as calm as before; he closed the book in his hand, looked at the other party and said, But I must not die in front of you.

What do you mean? Ji Jue also closed the book in his hand and said with a smile, Anyone can be the ‘king’, but not me?

Hmm… How should I put it… Zi Lin paused and then said, Today, I have sorted out the world and set the general direction… If it were an ordinary person like me now, Replace me, or… replace me with a group of ordinary people, then they may not be able to do what I want to do in the end, and it will take much longer than me to do it, but in any case, they will generally do it. You can score seven or eight points, the overall situation remains unchanged…

But if it were you, everything I’ve done before would be in vain. So… although it doesn’t matter who can come, it can’t be you.

When Ji Jue heard this, he looked disdainful: The end you decided? Huh… you mean the end Tianyi wants, right? He sneered, You think your tyrant’s methods will determine the future? Does the foundation really work? In my opinion, it is just another century-old dynasty. It can last for two hundred years if it lasts. Even if two-thirds of that time is in the prosperous age…then it will fall into the same situation as now. reincarnation? But if it were me…

If it were you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even have two-thirds of the time. Zi Lin interrupted the other party with a slightly sad tone and said, Boss Tian has seen people like you too much. There are many more. Since the birth of the Fifth Kingdom, from the primitive tribal period to today, there are countless dynasties recorded in history books, unrecorded…real, tampered, and misinterpreted… , among countless kings, do you think there will be few guys like you?

Do you think that all of those emperors, the proud sons of heaven, and heroic women… really failed to achieve ‘immortal life’ as the history books say?

“Some people die for a reason.

“It makes sense that some dynasties that seemed never to fall collapsed.

Although some people seem to be dead, they are actually still alive, and the reason why they are still alive is… they gave up their ambitions and gave up on taking the old path that humans will inevitably take after gaining supreme power.

Ji Jue could understand these words, but he couldn’t listen to them and didn’t want to agree with them.

Forget it, you’re not even a human being, so what else can you say? Ji Jue said, After all that, you are like Tianyi’s mouthpiece, using that set of fatalism and experience to judge human beings and me…could I just Can’t it be a special case? My surname is Tian, ​​who can live forever and play with the history of mankind at his fingertips, but can’t I?

These words touched Zi Lin’s nerves.

You know shit… Zi Lin tilted his head and blurted out swear words, You also point fingers at your partner named Tian? I’m warning you, if you don’t understand him, just stop fucking and give it to me in your mouth. Keep it clean.

When it comes to this, the communication between the two can no longer continue in a civilized manner.

Ji Jue had also been holding back his anger for a long time, and at this point, it was time to vent it out; the next second, with a thought in his mind, he directed Delaya to take action, intending to exile Zi Lin to another dimension. go.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
