From the end of the world

Chapter 199 VS Chen Long 2
At first, I thought it was unlikely that the young girl Lu Chan would cast a spiritual spell on Chen Long, as the speed difference was too great, and she would be killed just as she started to cast a spell on Chen Long at close range. However, she took advantage of Chen Long's hearing ability, which was enough to capture the entire area of ​​the stronghold, and let the other party hear her voice containing spiritual power at such a long distance.

The shadow dust of Chen Long did not reach the area where she was, and there was no shadow around her that could be easily teleported to Chen Long. Even if Chen Long really teleported to her and sprinted at high speed to stop the spell, I would have enough time to react and stop him. She probably calculated this perfect opportunity. Even if she had no fighting power, she was a battle-hardened master in the past, and her fighting awareness should not be underestimated.

But Chen Long not only did not rush to stop her from casting the spell, he didn't even react to her mental spell.

“—You haven’t been brainwashed?” She read the other person’s words in disbelief, “How could such a thing… be possible…”

"An intact porcelain cannot be repaired because it has never been damaged. Your attempt to correct my brainwashing is also futile because I have always acted with my own clear will." Chen Long said, "Besides...have you never thought about a question?"

"...What's the problem?" the girl Lu Chan asked back.

"If Ying Lingyun really has the ability to brainwash even a Cheng-level Wuchang easily, why did he only use it on me and never on you?" Chen Long asked sharply, "Have you really never thought about it... or are you unwilling to think in this direction?"

"..." The girl Lu Chan fell into a long silence.

This was a miscalculation.

According to my previous assumptions, if you want to break through the "portal armor" without relying on overwhelming force, the easiest way is to use "means that do not require passing through space." "Curse attack" is like this, and "mental attack" can also be included in it. What the girl Lu Chan tried was an attack on the spiritual level.

This route has failed. Is it that I have to comprehend the "Curse Attack" on the spot next?

And... Chen Long really wasn't brainwashed?

So why did he turn against Ying Lingyun and the Humanitarian Department? What could he gain from it?
As I was thinking quickly, Chen Long teleported over again and punched out a fist with a dangerous white glow. This time, the fist finally hit me, and then a huge explosion occurred like a missile hitting the target, blowing me away.

This was the strongest attack he had made so far. If his previous attack on my soul only caused the pain of being hit by a fist, this time it was like being hit in the torso with a mace. If the soul had bones, my bones would probably be broken.

But his own fist also broke and exploded.

Lu Youxun once described to me the disadvantages of Chen Long's "comprehensive enhancement" ability - that is, if the enhancement strength is not properly controlled, the body of the enhanced person will be overloaded and explode.

But I have never heard that this kind of overload explosion phenomenon can be used as a means of self-destruction attack.

The next moment, his lost fist returned to its original shape as if time had gone back.

This was not his own super-speed regeneration, but the rewinding and repair of the power of restart. Unlike the situation where he obstructed me in every way, the power of restart was his partner.

His self-destruct fist attack would not be so easy to use outside. Even if he could regenerate at super speed, it would definitely consume a lot of his mana. Moreover, since it was a self-destruction that could attack the enemy's soul, it would probably cause considerable damage to his own soul.

However, as long as he is blessed by the power of restart, the cost of his body and soul is equivalent to nothing, and the same is true for the consumption of physical strength. In the words of the virtual game, as long as he is inside this base, he is equivalent to carrying "infinite blood bottles" and "infinite blue bottles" that are automatically effective. Even if he suffers damage that instantly empties all his blood bars and falls into a state of death, he will be resurrected with full blood and full status in the next second.

He also comes with "Portal Armor" which is equivalent to "infinite defense". I haven't even figured out how to cause damage to him yet, and he's already shown me this new cheating mechanism.

Even I, who likes challenging difficult levels, couldn't help but start thinking whether this level was a little too difficult.

"If that's the case, why would you betray Luo Shan...betray me?"

At the same time, the young girl Lu Chan asked in disbelief: "You would never have done such a thing in the past!"

"I have never changed, Lu Chan."

Relying on the "portal armor", Chen Long actually answered questions from his old friends while fighting with me: "I always fight to save more people. It was like this in the past, and it is still like this now. It's just that I found that I couldn't achieve this goal in Luoshan, so I switched to the Humanitarian Department.

"Besides, if we really want to talk about betrayal, it was you who betrayed our path first."

"I was the one who betrayed you?" The young girl Lu Chan seemed to doubt her own ears.

"Politics will turn mortals into slaves, and transcendence will turn mortals into resources. The former will eventually fall to the latter, and the ending is the same. You clearly see this, but you still say that you believe in changing Luoshan from within... Are you serious?" Chen Long said in a deep voice, "No, you are just weak, just escaping -

"We have all vowed to fight for more people, but you care more about the few people you interact with than the majority of people you should save. Don't rush to deny me, if I give you a chance to sacrifice people you are familiar with to save thousands of times more people far away, can you do it? You can't, Lu Chan." So you can't deviate from your position as a demon hunter. This is your weakness.

"The moment you make that choice, you are no longer one of my peers."

Regardless of whether it is a sign of weakness to be unable to sacrifice a few familiar people to save the majority of people far away, I think there is a point in what he said - according to the future analysis that the young girl Lu Chan had done for me before, there is indeed a contradiction between the "monster hunter's position" and the "hero's position" who wants to save ordinary people.

And since Chen Long, like Lu Youxun in the past, has a sense of righteousness in saving ordinary people, it does not seem incomprehensible that he would choose to stand against the demon hunter.

The fact that mental spells were ineffective was also in front of her. The young girl Lu Chan could only digest and accept his words, and then asked back: "...What about you? In order to prove that you can give up the few people around you, you sold your friends to the Humanitarian Department?"

Chen Long said coldly: "It is not easy to capture an experimental subject of Chengji Wuchang's level. The Humanitarian Department needs to complete the last piece of the puzzle of 'cyborg technology'. And there is a 'traitor' who trusts me 100% right in front of me. There is no reason to let him go."

The girl Lu Chan clenched her fists, seemingly unable to control her emotions. I could vaguely sense the thoughts boiling in her heart, so I temporarily spoke the next words for her.

"Is the Humanitarian Department a better choice than Luo Shan?" I said, "Using demon hunters to conduct human experiments that violate moral ethics, you can still say that demon hunters are enemies; but now you don't even let ordinary people go, and you create a large number of monsters in the outside world to endanger social security. Is this the justice you pursue?"

"My body was modified by Ying Lingyun himself, and he left a backdoor in it. I can't resist him now, nor can I stop some extreme behaviors of the Humanitarian Department." Chen Long said, "Sooner or later, I will make Ying Lingyun pay the price with blood; and I will not let go of any of the senior executives and backers of the Humanitarian Department who want to monopolize the results and become the second Luoshan.

"But I don't think the current Humanitarian Department is completely wrong. In order to catch up with the giant Luo Shan, we can't just choose clean means. The current bloodshed is for the future world -

"After the deed is done, I will naturally have no face to continue living, and will expose my crimes to the world, accept the due trial and death.

"This is my determination. A naive person like Lu Chan is destined to not understand me."

"Yeah, I don't understand... There is no great cause that requires sacrificing conscience."

The young girl Lu Chan finally calmed down. She said, "--Perhaps you have never changed, Chen Long. It's just that I misunderstood you in the past. Now the misunderstanding has been resolved. It turns out that you are just a self-righteous lunatic."

She seemed to be finally completely disappointed with Chen Long.

But I felt that I finally saw the true color of Chen Long, and at the same time I couldn't help but have other thoughts.

Chen Long's starting point seems to be very good, but for this wish, he even has to sacrifice his friends who once shared the same ideals with him.

It's not for profit or emotion, but for the obsession in one's heart that makes one willing to go to such a crazy extent.

I can't like him, I can't empathize with him, and I don't want to be like him no matter what. But on the other hand, I see in him a twisted dramatic brilliance that would never intersect in a normal life.

The immortal monsters and shadow-changing monsters who died at my hands in the past, although they possessed incredible powers, the motives they revealed before their death were all vulgar desires.

I want to take revenge on those who look down on me, I want to do whatever I want with my power, I want to get a higher status... It's not that vulgar desires are bad, but just like that, I can't help but feel that they are similar to me in their position, ordinary people who have gained powerful powers by chance. No matter how strange the battles with them are, they can't really take me to another world.

But Chen Long is different. Even if his wish is what the girl Lu Chan said, "self-righteousness", it is definitely not the desire of an ordinary person.

He seems to be glowing in my eyes now.

He is undoubtedly a person who lives in a crazy realm that is completely different from the everyday world, and I am now on the same stage with him, communicating and fighting with him. So I have undoubtedly also escaped from the everyday world and become a member of this bizarre and magical world.

And now, I am going to become the executioner in his story and put the final stop to it.

"Whatever you say. Anyway, your attempt has failed. Mental magic is useless to me. Zhuang Cheng, you can't do anything to me. You are doomed to fail..."

Chen Long paused halfway through his speech, then asked warily and confusedly: "...What are you laughing at?"
