The God of Death will not understand until his death.
What happened in the past few minutes? Why?
Let me tell you.
It's actually very easy to understand.
People with domain characteristics like to control the overall situation, but have difficulty handling extraordinary events.
And who is the most "unconventional" person in the urban village today?
Not Xu Cheng.
It's the old man.
Because the God of Death can regard Xu Cheng as a terrifying enemy that cannot be dealt with at all and avoid it.
But he never expected that his characteristics would be ineffective against an ordinary person who couldn't even use his original energy!
Why?
…
Someday after that.
Xu Cheng invited the old man to eat ice cream at a shop he often went to.
While they were eating, they talked about the battle that took place in the village in the city that day.
Xu Cheng has already understood the characteristics of the God of Death, so he is also a little curious.
“Why doesn’t the fear puzzle have any effect on you?”
The fear puzzle can be applied to ordinary people, and the two bodyguards are good examples.
The old man thought for a while.
He clasped his hands on his chest and lowered his head in thought.
After thinking about it, the old man suddenly said with doubts on his face: "Should I have been attacked by special characteristics at that time?"
"Um?"
Xu Cheng was a little surprised, "Didn't you realize it?"
"No."
"That would be even weirder."
While eating ice cream balls, Xu Cheng told the old man the specific abilities of the God of Death.
Of course, most of this information he heard from the person in charge or Han Xing afterwards.
After listening to Xu Cheng's story, the old man thought for a moment and made a conclusion.
"So the characteristics of that young guy can extract the most feared opponent in people's hearts, reconstruct it, and finally create an enemy?"
Xu Cheng nodded, "Absolutely."
"Then I know."
The old man grinned and said, "I have nothing to be afraid of."
"What a coincidence, so am I."
Xu Cheng frowned slightly, still slightly confused.
"But even if there was nothing to fear, the opponents who impressed me deeply were still extracted and eventually reconstructed into new monsters."
"Um……"
The old man thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "What is 'fear'?"
"fear."
"What is your definition of 'fear'?"
Xu Cheng: "..."
Xu Cheng: "You are in the debating club at your university?"
"What a mess."
The old man waved his hand and grinned: "What I actually mean is, extracting horror elements and reconstructing them - this concept is very vague, isn't it?"
Xu Cheng found the old man's point of view very interesting.
This point of view directly points to the most fundamental ability of the characteristic person.
"You see, that young man's characteristic is called Fear Puzzle."
"For ordinary people, that trait distills the most terrifying aspects of their opponents."
"But for you, it's about extracting the 'toughest' part of your opponent."
"You weren't afraid of them—I'm sure of that."
"So can I understand the fear puzzle as extracting the most impressive parts of someone's past opponents and then combining them?"
The old man slowly narrated.
Hearing this, Xu Cheng thought for a moment and nodded.
What the old man said does make sense.
"In this case, then this feature is of no use to me."
The old man smiled: "Because I am the kind of person who really likes to watch other people watch horror movies."
Xu Cheng was puzzled.
The old man continued to explain:
"You see, for ordinary people, watching horror movies is to experience the excitement and thrilling feeling."
"But that's not my fun."
"Instead, I enjoy watching those people watching horror movies."
"For me, this kind of joy is hidden in every aspect of life - even if the movie is being shown to me."
"Former business rivals, killers from other forces, or fighters with malicious intentions..."
"They are like one movie or play after another to me."
"I will remember that I watched them and even had a deep impact on them, but I will not regard them as opponents."
"Without fear - there is no way to influence the fear puzzle."
“But without an opponent – the fear puzzle doesn’t work.”
This is the old man's solution.
Xu Cheng finally gave a four-word evaluation in his heart——
unique!
Perhaps no one else in the world can imitate the old man’s solution, because it is a mentality that is fundamentally different from ordinary people!
In the old man's understanding, no matter what happens, he is always in the third party.
This is a psychology that can even be described as pathological.
The fear puzzle cannot have an effect on it, which is understandable.
"You've finished asking, it's my turn."
The old man chuckled and said, "How did you fall from the sky?"
Xu Cheng chewed the chocolate on top of the ice cream, "I was summoned by you."
"Really? I don't believe it."
"Fake."
Xu Cheng waved his hand, "In the final stage of the fight with me, the God of Death used the black water mirror to escape, but at that time I couldn't determine which of the 'monsters' who stayed and the 'people' who left was the real body."
This is exactly the tactic of death.
The old man drank hot cocoa, "So how did you solve it?"
Xu Cheng smiled and said: "Beat them to death together."
The old man: "..."
It seems reasonable, but this answer is a bit too boring.
Xu Cheng added two more pieces of sugar to his hot cocoa.
"You have to remember one thing."
He emphasized to the old man:
"He racked his brains to deal with me, but in the end his plan failed."
"——That's all."
…
Time returns to the present.
The old man supported Cheng Yi and looked at the scene in front of him.
Xu Cheng was half kneeling, and his fist fell on the ground, making a big hole in the ground.
The figure of the God of Death has basically disappeared, or it can be said that it is everywhere, and it is impossible to die anymore.
Xu Cheng raised his head, looked at the old man and Cheng Yi, and waved hello.
"Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
The old man nodded and waved his hand as well.
Cheng Yi: "?"
What did he see?
Death is dead.
The brawl in the urban village is over.
The last two sentences that conclude it are the two old men chatting while taking a walk at night.
"Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
Cheng Yi fainted.
Before passing out, Cheng Yi murmured:
"I'm not full, I want to eat barbecue..."
The two bodyguards who had just climbed out of the ruins quickly stepped forward and helped Cheng Yi from the old man's shoulders.
"You heard me."
The old man extended his thumb and pointed at Cheng Yi, "This young man wants to eat barbecue. I'll take him there."
Xu Cheng nodded, "Then I'll go pick up my daughter."
…
The two people parted ways.
After a few minutes, the witnesses arrived belatedly.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Witnesses don't know.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining personnel from the Star Chamber of Commerce and the Deep Space Society also arrived here.
Witnesses knew clearly that these were all walking feats of war!
So the second battle broke out in the village in the city.
But that’s all for another day.
…
The heavy rain gradually stopped.
The moon ran out of the clouds.
On the west side of the urban village.
The hooded man disappeared around a corner.
Qianqian felt that the other party probably ran away.
She apologized to the store owner and then took the initiative to help clean up the mess.
When everything was sorted out, Xu Cheng also found her.
He said that he happened to be having dinner with some old buddies nearby, and happened to see her after the party ended, so he planned to go home with his daughter.
Qianqian believed it.
But she still had questions.
"Dad, why don't you drive?"
"oh."
Xu Cheng paused and let out a long, unrecognizable sigh.
