20. Mask Eight

The ultra-high-temperature particle beams are constantly intertwined, and the deflection force fields interfere with each other. The moment lightning bursts out, the scattered high-heat particles flutter in the wind, and stick to a magic mist fish that smells the smell of blood and swims over. It is the size of a human hair, and has no weight or speed at all.

The particle clumps easily vaporize the scales and skin of the Demonic Mist Fish and fly to the other side.

The central area where the particles dispersed has turned into a high-heat hell, and the air is filled with the stench of burned hair and cloth.

The beam combat weapon was originally an accessory attached to the MDS. It is a weapon that can only be used under the protection of multiple measures. It is impossible to completely protect a flesh and blood body with just a layer of deflection force field. Withstanding high temperature and heat waves is its limit.

Tearing through the smoke, Azdahaka kicked off the hot roof of the car, and smashed two beam ax swords at Roland. He suddenly turned vertically to pursue Roland, who was sideways to avoid the blow. Following the sweeping ax sword, Roland took advantage of the situation.

He tilted his body and kicked off the ground. The combination of his own movement and the enemy's arm strength, and with the cover of the blooming light, Roland walked around to the side of Azdahaka and kicked the unsuspecting left side of his abdomen hard.

The two people who were entangled were separated. Roland, who was dry and panting slightly, had just taken a stance, and Azdahaka, with a ferocious smile on his face, stepped forward again with his sword.

At first glance, Roland seems to have an advantage. Maybe it’s because he’s not used to the human body, or he’s not exercising enough, or maybe the two huge beam ax swords restrict his flexibility of movement. Azdahaka’s performance is different from that of Alcatraz.

There is a huge gap in the strength shown on the battlefield. Roland is superior in terms of reaction speed and agility. But both the warring parties and the giant needle ants and scorpions watching the battle are very clear. The real advantage is the ability to quickly replenish water.

Azdahaka that regulates body temperature.

Through the "Spinning Wheel", Azdahaka was able to monopolize the mana within 1 kilometer in diameter. As a dragon who is already very good at water-attribute spells, he can easily replenish the lost water during battle. It must be

The only bit of Mana he had was used at the critical moment of counterattack, and he had no time to take care of replenishing water. Once the battle lasted longer, he would sooner or later collapse due to dehydration and sunburn, and Azdahaka would win without a fight.

Knowing this, Azdahaka kept swinging the two giant swords. He didn't care whether he could hit Roland. He just swung the sword to create a high-heat cage, waiting for the moment when the water in Roland's body was drained.

.

He raised his sword again and struck down. A corner of a carriage slid along the inclined section. He looked in the direction of Roland's dodge. Two axes and swords came at them like crab claws. Without thinking much, Roland stepped forward and the three lightsabers were intertwined.

together,

"It's amazing."

Blue-white lightning reflected in his eyes. Azdahaka licked his lips and said:

"Needless to say, my skills are also sharper than before. Can you tell me? How did you find out that it was me?"

"It's just a simple process of elimination."

On the other side of the lightsaber, the boy squeezed out a hoarse voice from clenched teeth.

From the moment he realized that the attacker had a deep connection with Alfheim, Roland began to investigate suspicious objects.

Li Lin and the various agencies under his command were the first to be eliminated. Not to mention what benefits the attack on this train would bring to Alfheim or the consortium, in the operation aimed at capturing the hostages, Xiu superiority continued to show off.

Such cutting-edge technology is not his style at all. If it were him, he would only implement efficiency, and even if some exaggerated performances are required, he would carefully control the proportion.

Political factions that were dissatisfied with the Archon were also excluded one after another. They had motives, but did not have the ability to turn ideas into actions and the necessary support. They were not deeply involved in those technologies and could not operate them freely. Finally, considering their racial stance

In comparison of strength, conservative grandfathers and liberal bloggers

The patriots are not stupid enough to seek help from humans in order to overthrow the Archon - a group of ants called another group of stronger and more hostile ants to form a coalition to deal with a group of ants that can spit fire and various killing rays.

, a 10,000-ton monster that can fly at supersonic speeds? You can just imagine the result with your feet.

As for the technicians in the relevant research departments, Roland did not include them as suspects at all. Elf technology researchers are the kind of pure scientists who do not understand politics and do not care about politics. At best, they are academics who only focus on learning.

To put it harshly, they are a group of mad scientists who only care about the effects of their research - even if that effect makes them have nightmares every day - but do not care at all about the impact of these studies, let alone

them

Whether the research results meet the dual requirements of human nature and morality. Under Li Lin's words and deeds, "The last things that are needed to develop science and technology are human nature and morality. Scholars only need to concentrate on exploring the results." He has no interest in the world outside the laboratory at all.

In order to bring the project back to life, the tech geeks went to a place far away from Alfheim to experiment with sealed technologies without the knowledge of the military and the Stasi? They even went so far as to attack trains related to the interests of the consortium? What is wrong with this?

Science script?

After excluding the above possibilities, the scope of suspects has been greatly narrowed.

This person occupies a high position and has access to a considerable degree of the latest technology and various intelligence, but he is not a real core member. In addition, this person has great hatred for Alfheim and Li Lin, or in other words

He planned to betray from the beginning——

"After much thought, I can only think of one target. One of the three giants of the former Guards, the three-headed dragon Aziz Dahaka!"

"I really miss you. It's only been half a year, so why do I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time? It must be because I died once?!"

Sensing the user's heightened emotions, the power of the beam ax sword suddenly surged. The scorching waves continuously invaded the protective layer protecting Roland's body. Several hairs curled up and smoke emitted. Following the force of the opponent's squeeze, the young man rushed in.

He jumped back before being burned.

"The reaction is still so fast. I really want to kill you more and more."

Putting away his ax and sword, Aziz Dahaka lifted up his hood with the burned edge. What was revealed underneath was the face of a middle-aged man, resolute and strong, but with an incongruously frivolous smile.

It's Hammer's face.

"Personality transplant..."

"Have you heard of it? That's right. He is your guardian after all. It's so convenient to have Ultra Magnus as your adoptive father."

Shrugging self-deprecatingly, the silver cigarette case in his coat pocket floated up, and he took out one and held it in his mouth. Az Dahaka raised the beam ax sword a little higher, and the tobacco immediately flashed red.

"It's better to go outside. Alfheim's control on cigarettes is too strict. Smoking is not allowed in public places, and the army is even worse. Leaving the group is indeed a wise choice. Ah, back to the topic. Please allow me to mention it first

One question, why do you think of me who should have died?"

"Corpse."

Roland said calmly:

"When I rushed into the public bathroom where you were, I didn't have time to take a closer look. But there were two places that were very awkward. First, there were corpses all over the floor, but the damage on the scene was quite limited, except for the damage caused by fighting with the crocodile in the sewer. Almost.

No more changes. Second, I did not find the bodies of General Hammer and the wyvern."

Although the entire Alcatraz Island was wiped from the surface by the mass disintegration bomb, this question had been buried in Roland's heart at that time. As a series of subsequent events occurred, it was gradually buried. As various suspects were investigated, the past

When the face of the dead Aziz Dahaka was revealed, the doubts at that time resurfaced.

"I made a bold assumption. If Aziz Dahaka had contacted General Hammer before His Highness Minerva and I arrived there and promised to reach some agreement on certain conditions, then Aziz Dahaka would

Wouldn't he reveal certain information to Hammer? Or maybe he deliberately let Hammer live as a pawn to implement a certain plan. But in this way, the subsequent attacks on me were blatant.

Isn't it stupid to be brave enough to rebel? You should be very clear about the consequences of doing so, but you did it without hesitation. Why? Now the answer is very clear, because you copied your memory personality and transplanted it to Han

In Mo's mind, even if you lose your original body, you can still live in other forms. You are lurking in the underground society that Alfheim cannot reach, and you are carrying out activities."

"Wonderful, what a wonderful inference. I will add it next."

Aziz Dahaka raised his head slightly, the humor in his smile gradually faded, replaced by an abyss of hatred and anger.

"Yes, I have planned to betray that monster from the beginning. But you also know that even if I tie all the creatures in this world together, I will only be overthrown by that guy. As for assassination, it is even more impossible. Even if I

Every day I want to stab him in the kidney with a knife from behind. I want to go crazy, but I can't find it.

When there is a chance, the only thing left to make that guy feel the taste of defeat is to destroy his hard work - 'that place' and the V.E Foundation. What protects these two is secrecy. As long as the relevant inside information is revealed

If it is leaked to human society, years of hard work will be wiped out——"

His palms opened to imitate the shape of an explosion, and Aziz Dahaka's smile became more sinister and crazy.

"But that guy is not a fool. On the contrary, he is very smart. From the beginning, in addition to the configuration of relevant systems and institutions, he also set up physical insurance measures for this situation - called 'Will

Wall's collar."

Wall of Will - Li Lin's original operating system technique with 100% independent intellectual property rights, and its purpose is to keep it confidential.

The principle is very simple. The self-disciplined operation is imprinted into the cerebral cortex through the operation, and the subject of the operation is consciously operated and confidentiality measures are enforced.

"To put it simply, after being imprinted with this technique, whether you like it or not, you will be unable to see things you shouldn't see, listen to things you shouldn't hear, and say things you shouldn't say. Various keywords will be blocked.

Ahhhhhh!!! So annoying! Can you imagine? I can’t even complete a simple sentence, I can’t go on without using code names and blocked keywords that members of the organization understand; I can only see mosaics and

'Your permission does not allow you to operate' days?!"

"I understand. Every time I watch high-level members grab the uncensored version of Master Roland x Master Li Lin's book, I feel the same way."

The giant needle ant, a junior member of the Basic Corruption Alliance, muttered in a low voice. Az Dahaka's roar and the crackle of the beam weapon burning the air covered her complaints, so no one heard her.

"So you made a deal with Hammer to reveal all the secrets of Alfheim at the cost of transplanting your personality."

Roland made a conclusion while Aziz Dahaka was taking a breather.

"Since your own brain cannot leak information no matter what, then changing your brain can get rid of the wall of consciousness. With this plan in mind, you and Hammer reached a deal, and then you just need to fake the scene. It will cause the entire Knights of the Golden Fleece to fall apart.

If you destroy the illusion, everything will be completed. However, there is one thing that is beyond your expectations."

"Yes, we didn't expect that the spell has a self-increasing function. When the memory and personality are copied, the spell also begins to copy, and is transferred to this body together with the copied personality."

There was a hint of bitterness in his serious voice, and Hammer shook his head helplessly.

After personally experiencing the power of conscious manipulation, trying to say something but not being able to say it, and not being able to write what he wanted to express with a pen, Hammer finally had a preliminary understanding of Li Lin. He also understood why Azdahaka

He does not hesitate to belittle himself and integrate his personality with human nature, but he must also adopt this method.

——If you want to fight against that guy, you must go to a point where you are not willing to do anything wrong to yourself.

"You can't tell. There's no way to make the other party understand what you want to convey. Simply use the method of revealing marginal intelligence and showing cross-generational technology to tell all parties that there is a more developed technical system and in-depth knowledge in places you don't know.

The unpredictable force uses unknown terror to prompt all countries to start hysterical investigations, and finally find Alfheim by following the paved track."

After a pause, Roland stared at the man who mixed the two personalities with sad eyes.

"There's no room for negotiation or compromise, is there?"

"Exactly."

At this point, the lives of Azdahaka and Hammer have been turned into a mess. For them, who can only live in the prison of consciousness manipulation for the rest of their lives, the option of "doing it over again" does not exist.

Silently, he fell to the ground and died like weeds on the roadside;

Even if you don't hesitate to harm yourself, you must bring down the guy who is sitting at the top of the dominance;

They can only choose between these. Giving up their identity as an ancient species and carrying the expectations and lives of their subordinates, it is clear what choice Azdahaka and Hammer will make.

"Then what are you going to do, young master?"

His expression twisted into Azdahaka's customary contempt, and provocative words floated over.

"Are you trying your best to stop us? Or are you going to join us? Roland Darhk, which side are you on and why are you fighting?"

"I……"

"You should know very well that that guy is the source of the distortion of the world! The center of all the mistakes in this world! Only by eliminating him can the world return to its proper form."

He opened his mouth hesitantly and hesitated for an answer. A large number of "buzzing" sounds sounded from under his feet, getting denser and louder, making his ears hurt. The two sides who were attracted by the abnormal phenomenon looked around, shocked.

expression appeared on everyone's face.

"flower?"

As soon as he said it, Roland rejected the answer.

That thing can never be a flower. There is no flower in the world that can fly as freely as a coaxial rotor helicopter, and there is no flower that can become more delicate and beautiful when the roots are broken and the water is cut off, as if it can drip blood.

Flowers. Finally, and most importantly, it is impossible for flowers made entirely of black diamond crystals to exist in nature.

The strange crystal flowers are just the tip of the iceberg. Looking around, before you know it, the earth has been covered in red and black crystals, and things that cannot be connected with common sense are traveling through time.

Six long legs like rapiers support a rugby-shaped torso like a sea urchin, and a long giraffe-like neck swings around on a round head full of thorns; the thing with a vague outline of a mosquito has four pairs of ducted paddles on its back.

, flexibly shuttled between the twisting and extending flower vines; a bat-shaped object held an orange-like sphere in its mouth, sprayed out high-temperature gas from behind and flew past at high speed, and several fist-like things sprayed out flames in pursuit.

bat.

This is no longer the scenery they are familiar with, it is completely another world, the world of black diamonds.

"Is it possible that this is..."

A layer of purple appeared on her lips, and they trembled slightly.

Roland knew that there was something in the world that could cause such an effect in a short period of time. Although it was different from the extremely pure devouring at that time, and even formed a scene similar to an independent ecosystem, there was no doubt that rocks and trees were constantly being devoured before his eyes.

The earth, self-increasing and forming a chaotic and beautiful landscape is the "boiling mirror world" - a living hell that swallows everything.

The burning village, corpses everywhere, the hand buried under the wood, the black diamonds that kept increasing in value - the memory fragments buried in the heart kept emerging like an explosion, and the hand holding the sword couldn't stop trembling.

"I see, I have prepared the ultimate trump card a long time ago. Huh, that guy is starting to ignore appearances."

Turning to face both sides of the train, looking at the black diamond field that was extending towards the horizon, Azdahaka spat. He had expected that Li Lin would prepare backup measures just in case, but the "Boiling Mirror Realm" was not within the expected range.

In the face of the ultimate trump card that can swallow up all matter and energy and continuously expand its own sphere of influence, failure is only a matter of time.

The remaining ghouls and magic mist fish are still resisting, but as long as they touch the black diamond crystal - whether it is a plant type, an animal type, or a black diamond in the basic crystal form, they only have time to struggle for a few times, and they become new black diamonds.

A growing seedbed. At this rate of expansion, it can last for about a quarter of an hour at most... maybe not even this time.

, assuming that the "Boiling Mirror World" has been activated since he boarded the car, and has now evolved into four-legged and flying animal forms, then it will not take much time to evolve into larger and faster-moving forms. By then,

The erosion rate will be faster. At that time, the difficulty of completing the plan and retreating will be greatly increased.

"You can't move faster... What are you going to do?"

Just as he was about to take steps, Azdahaka made a surprised sound.

At some point, the young man suppressed his trembling and raised his sword in front of him.

"Isn't it obvious what to do?"

Blood dripped from his clenched lips, the strong wind ruffled Roland's hair, and his purple eyes stared at Azdahaka.

"I want to stop you." (To be continued..)
