Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 141 74. Ajie has been here
"boom"

The khaki psychic energy collided with the flying cones in the air; the power of time and the psychic skills canceled each other out, causing the two psychic masters who met on a narrow road to return empty-handed once again.

But compared to the calmness of Ms. Vulture in front of him, Roger was much more irritable at this moment.

He was visibly anxious, and even his always magnetic voice became sharper. Holding the "Aging" pistol, he shouted:

"Come on, Rhine."

"If you want to ask someone to do you a favor, you should at least use the right name, sir."

The evil vulture shrugged, raised his fingers and waved them gently like a big brother conducting an orchestra. All the unsecured objects in the chaotic area around him were lifted up and suspended like invisible hands, and then aimed at Roger while spinning at high speed.

She said in a cold tone:
"Say it again! What's my name?"

"I don't have time to play little girl games like this with you. Get out of the way!"

Roger raised his hand and shot.

Aged bullets carrying the concept of time were fired in an attempt to force the Evil Vulture back, but the flying debris was also sparsely infused with psychic energy and thrown at him. They seemed to have no destructive power, but each object would cause a violent explosion when it landed, forcing Roger to retreat. The hourglass on his arm turned upside down during adjustment, allowing him to "cross" this entangled time, but the next second, he saw a similar hourglass in the Evil Vulture's hand.

Just like a bad girl protesting to her plastic sisters, as the hourglass swung back and forth in the evil eagle's fingers, the time flow that had just been adjusted by Roger became chaotic again.

"give up."

She took out a delicate short stick from her waist and swung it out like a baton.

The thing clicked and formed into a short-handled magic wand in his hand, and then he spun it in a circle in his palm like a cheerleader, and sharper arcs of psychic energy burst out and entangled in the evil vulture's hand.

It was just like a magician in mythology, even forming some jumping runes.

This was obviously a special light and shadow effect. At least other psychics had never seen such a gorgeous performance when casting spells. It can be seen that although Ms. Evil Vulture looks unique, which girl does not have a hidden desire to be the Fairy Balala or the Dancing Goddess in her heart?
She flicked her wand and said:
"It's not that easy for you and I to fight each other seriously. We are both masters of psychic powers and we know each other's methods very well. I have no intention of fighting you to the death here, but don't even think about causing trouble before the benchmark self-destructs.

I promise, Roger.

As soon as that thing exploded, I retreated immediately and never stayed a second longer."

"Can you two brothers do something serious?"

Roger's fingers holding the pistol were bulging with anger at this moment, and he said:

"What good will it do you to blow up the benchmark? Will you feel satisfied with your mentor's scolding? Will a spoiled child feel happy when his father notices you because he deliberately makes mistakes?"

"good question."

The evil vulture chuckled and said:
"My brother may really think so. He has always been frivolous and reckless, but I do have a specific goal. Your Excellency, only by blowing up the No. 11 reference instrument can we catch up with you in the progress of exploring the No. maze.

Only in this way can Jiubang avoid continuous interference from you when entering the maze.

I just want to bring the exploration progress of both sides back to the same level. You are not the only one who wants to know the answers to the mysteries hidden in that area. I am also looking forward to it.

Well, another ten seconds of delay, great! "

"time."

Roger glanced at the countdown on his wrist which was slowly returning to zero. The evil vulture in front of him looked as if he had no intention of letting her go, which made Roger realize that there was no way he could save the self-destructing reference instrument.

He gnashed his teeth and said:
"Time is on our side! Everything you do is in vain."

"Yes, yes. As long as a new reference instrument is sent to the surface, you can return from the regrettable future to the present that is under your control again, and then start from the past to seize the initiative again and let victory fall to you.

The flash has always done this.

You are never afraid of failure because time is on your side. Because of this, any possible changes in this evil land will be extinguished by you in the past.

Ms. Weng Yafen, Professor Qiao Sina, and other pioneers whose names I don’t know, except you yourselves, no one knows how many respectable people have died in the past thirty-eight years due to your manipulation of time. Perhaps the next one will be me.

Roger, I am as familiar with Shunguang's style of doing things and your reversal process as you are."

The evil vulture's tone turned cold, and she said:

"Because I know the risks, I know how to win myself a chance. It takes three months from design to production and installation of a new reference instrument, and I only have three months left."

"You mean, you have to find out the 'truth' within three months and find a way to prevent the 'Holy Benchmark' from being restarted?"

Roger sneered and said:
"Do you think that's possible?"

"Impossible. Not to mention three months, even three years might not be enough. But that was in the past. Now we have a special 'friend' joining us."

The vulture lost interest in the conversation.

She glanced at the countdown on her arm. With only fifteen seconds left, she gracefully leaned over to say goodbye to Roger, like a lady at a palace ball, but when she turned around completely, she rudely raised her middle finger and gestured at him.

she says:

"You can't stop me! Just like you can't stop Zhou Ke. The reason why I came here in person at the risk of having my spine torn out by Wu Qinhu is not only because of my brother Wu Neng's request, but also to see his 'magic'.

He proves to be an unpredictable collaborator who cannot be tricked or killed by the manipulation of time.

He is the friend we need most right now.

He is special.

You are not the only ones who have noticed this. Unfortunately, I have noticed it too.

So let's wait and see, sir."

The evil vulture walked into the mezzanine of the time maze with her wand in hand. When she disappeared, the psychic interference that permeated the surroundings quickly faded away.

Roger's control over time was restored, and he immediately sent himself to the "past" in an attempt to buy enough time. However, when he rushed into the base of the benchmark that had been slaughtered by free AIs operating automatic weapons, the moment he pushed open the door, he was greeted by a ball of scorching energy like a nuclear bomb explosion.

The reference instrument self-destructed.

The core used to intervene in the timeline so that it can be manipulated artificially will destroy the entire time system from the bottom up the moment it loses control, just like a chain reaction that is unstoppable as soon as the first spark erupts.

Roger could only see everything he was familiar with being sucked into the swirling time vortex, and even he himself was pulled into it by the "twist and fold" of the out-of-control timeline.

He didn't try to resist, there was no point.

The limited freedom of the members of the Flash Organization to manipulate their personal time is based on the interference of the reference instrument with the larger time system, which means that everyone wearing the hourglass is "bound" to the reference instrument.

This also means that when the reference instrument goes out of control, every time psionicist in the Second Research Institute will inevitably be implicated no matter where they are.

They are part of this system, and when the system gets out of control, they can't even resist.

However, being caught in a completely out-of-control time maze does not mean death. If they have a deep enough understanding of the concept of time, they can still rely on their own efforts to trudge through the chaos and discontinuous time segments, and eventually find a way back to the normal timeline of the outside world.

Roger can do that.

But unfortunately, that meant he had to waste a lot of time trying to save himself.

No matter whether it is the little Acholi who is eyeing the enemy covetously, or the evil eagle lady who just uttered the harsh words, or other guys who have bad intentions towards the Flash Organization, such as the dangerous Zhou Ke, none of them will give up this opportunity.

He had to admit that he lost.

He had to admit that Senior Brother Han Bin's previous advice on this matter was correct.

More importantly, with the No. 2 benchmark out of control, time is no longer their friend on the surface world, and this abstract yet real concept is likely to stand on the side of his enemies.

"I lost. Ah, no matter how many times I try, I can never get used to this terrible feeling."

At the moment when he was engulfed by the chaotic concept of time, Roger thought in his heart:
"But it's not over yet, Lan. We'll find you again, the next moment or tomorrow. You can't escape time, and naturally, you can't escape us either. Let's just wait and see."

In another time layer, the evil vulture looked up at the rapidly "fading" physical structures around it, as if a madly swirling whirlwind was engulfing the area where it was. It looked very much like the scene of a psychic storm raging in the badlands, with psionic energy wailing and the chaotic concept of time "pushing" other forces out of this area.

"Well, this is probably what Time Maze No. 11 looked like when it was formed, right?"

The evil vulture felt pain, as if its body was being pulled and torn apart by countless hands.

She hated this feeling, so she pulled out a small biological cabinet from behind her like magic, and took out a handful of green leaves to feed it. After a while, the silly-looking time beast slowly crawled out.

It seemed very comfortable in this chaotic environment of time collapse, even rolling on the ground and making humming sounds.

"It's your turn, little one."

The Vulture lady patted its head and said:
"Let me see if you are as amazing as the legend says. Just treat this as an adventure rehearsal. I will need you to be my guide when I explore Time Labyrinth No. 11.

Let's go.

Take me out, there are endless leaves waiting for you outside. "

------

"puff"

Zhou Ke rushed out of the rapidly degenerating and collapsing time layer, and as soon as he stopped, he vomited blood.

He panted and looked at the straight-blade knife in his hand that had become a U shape. He shook his head and threw the thing away. It was bent by Wu Qinhu with his bare hands during the fight just now.

That guy is a beast!
"But it was barely okay. I stabbed him in the chest, but I don't know if it pierced his heart."

Zhou Ke whispered:
"What do you think, Wu Neng?" "I think your imagination is too good. Your knife did pierce Wu Qinhu's heart, but it is probably not that easy to destroy the enhanced organ. At most, it will leave a scar on the heart that beats like an engine, but it will heal itself.

What’s even worse is that Wu Qinhu has two hearts!”

Wu Neng ruthlessly complained:
“Just now when Denard was running away with Amanda, this machine suggested that you evacuate. You have just entered the sublimation state and are not yet stable. Even with Ajie’s help, you can’t be a match for Tiger King.

The energy readings between you two are not a matter of a few percent difference, but a whole order of magnitude difference.

It’s like you worked hard to get into high school, but others have already graduated with a postdoctoral degree.”

“Is the gap really that big?”

Zhou Ke cursed:
"Can't you comfort me? How many years has Wu Qinhu been practicing? It took me only four months to reach the sublimation state. Shouldn't this efficiency be praised?"

"You deserve it! But your core tactic is the mask, brother. You don't even have a usable mask in your hand right now, what are you fighting with!"

Wu Neng roared:
"What's the difference between you and going to the First Demon War with bare hands and no guns?"

"whispering sound"

Even after entering the sublimation state, Zhou Ke still couldn't spray Wu Neng. He turned his head awkwardly and glanced at Ajie, who was in an even worse state beside him. He walked forward to support the man who was vomiting blood and said:
"Can you still walk? We can't stay here anymore. I'll carry you."

"no need."

Ajie supported himself with the broken javelin. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said:

"Go ahead. This place is transforming into Time Maze No. 12. I don't know much about that chaotic system, so I can't tell you how to leave. I can only wish you good luck. I can't leave. This is the final battle."

I wanted to leave this last burst of power to Roger, but Ajie insisted that I come to save you.

I couldn’t beat him, but it didn’t really matter.”

The guy smiled, a hint of helplessness appeared on his ferocious face, and said:

"Even if I try my best, I can't defeat Roger. He is an enviable genius. Not only in academics, but even in the improvement of psychic power and strength, he is a rising star that mortals like me can't reach. Instead of dying meaninglessly, it's better to leave the chance of life to you, a 'monster'.

If you still have the energy to spare in the future, Zhou Ke, remember to help me get revenge."

"Is this Liu Linyu's request?"

Zhou Ke was silent for a moment and said:
"I agreed. Since this is our last farewell, can you let me talk to Ajie?"

"Well, tell him that I'm leaving. I won't be of any use in the next situation. It's time to transfer the control of my body to Ajie."

Liu Linyu smiled, put his bloody hand on Zhou Ke's shoulder, and said:
"Good luck, Zhou Ke. It's a shame we didn't become friends when I could still tell jokes."

"Don't be silly, let's blow up Research Institute No. 2 together!"

Zhou Ke said softly:
"We are already friends, Lao Liu."

Liu Linyu did not answer him again, and the clarity and wisdom in Ajie's eyes quickly faded.

As Liu Linyu said, he would be useless for what was to be done next. When Wu Qinhu caught up with him, Ajie had to fully control this exhausted body in order to unleash his full combat power.

"Zhou Zhou Ke!"

Ajie felt like he was having a strange dream.

In his dream, he suddenly could speak and became very smart, ten times smarter than Zhou Ke. He dreamed that he had a fight with a very bad guy and killed him several times, but the guy would always resurrect, but he did not have that ability.

But he's still awesome.

He still remembered the smart self in his dream who was instructing him in his mind on how to fight better.
Unfortunately, dreams must eventually end.

Ajie woke up and tragically found himself turned back into the guy who couldn't even speak clearly, but that was not bad because he really rescued Zhou Ke from Wu Qinhu.

This is enough.

"Shh, eat something."

Zhou Ke took out a crooked energy bar from his arms, tore it open and stuffed it into Ajie's mouth. He then pulled out a shear blade from the armed backpack that had been dismantled by Wu Qinhu, leaving only a mechanical arm usable, and stuffed it into the hands of Ajie, whose face was already full of wrinkles and even whose eating speed had become slow.

他 说:

"I'll leave this thing to you. Use it to beat up that idiot Wu Qinhu. Beat him hard and don't show any mercy. You may not see me for a long time, Ajie. I will help you get revenge! I will definitely kill that bastard with my own hands.

I promise! "

As he spoke, Zhou Ke's tears began to flow.

This was the first time he cried since entering the Badlands. He didn't cry when he saw the destruction of Slag Town and the death of Uncle Ohm, but now when only he and Ajie were left in this chaotic place, the emotions that had been pent up in his heart finally broke free from the shackles.

Ajie is dying!
He had never felt this truth so clearly.

Ajay has burned out.

Everything he had was reduced to ashes. Even if Wu Qinhu hadn't chased him, Ajie would not have been able to survive the next ten minutes.

This big fool has already laid down in his coffin, waiting for the moment of his death.

It was just like when the two of them were struggling to survive in the End Castle. At that time, only Ajie was by his side, and Ajie was only him by his side, but that would not happen again in the future.

He would never meet again someone who trusted him so wholeheartedly and was willing to follow him and even die for him.

Zhou Ke hugged Ajie.

At this moment, he was crying like a sissy whose toes were stepped on. Ajie didn't know why he was crying. He could only reach out his hand and pat Zhou Ke's shoulder awkwardly while coughing, trying to comfort him in this way.

He couldn't understand this complicated sadness.

But he could feel that Zhou Ke was indeed very sad. Even when Zhou Ke's spine was almost broken by Wu Qinhu's kick in the End Castle, he had never cried so sadly.

So Zhou Ke must be in a lot of pain.
"It doesn't hurt. Eat. It won't hurt if you eat..."

Ajie handed the remaining half of the energy bar to Zhou Ke, but his hands were shaking so badly that the energy bar fell to the ground.

Zhou Ke picked up the blood-stained food. At this moment, he no longer disliked its bad taste. He swallowed it and chewed it under Ajie's gaze.

Ajie smiled.

This was the first time Zhou Ke was willing to eat something he shared.

In his indescribable way of thinking, perhaps this represents "friendship"?
"Let's go."

Wu Neng said in a sad tone:
"The space ahead is about to collapse. Wu Qinhu's life signal is approaching. It's time to go, Joker."

At this moment, Ajie also stood up on his own initiative, holding on to the blade to support his body. He sensed Wu Qinhu's approach like a beast about to fight, and turned around to push Zhou Ke.

"Go! Go!"

he urged.

He didn't look at Zhou Ke, but limped towards where Wu Qinhu came from, dragging the knife.

"Let him go like a warrior, Joker, and stop adding pressure to him! This is the most dignified way for Ajie to die in this fucked-up world."

Wu Neng roared and shouted:
"You knew very well that he was beyond saving when he was subjected to the experiment of Shunguang. If he hadn't met you, he would have died in the Castle of the End. This is not your fault, nor is it his fault. It is the fault of this world!

Damn!

You know how to avenge him, but you also have to live to see that day.

Let's go. "

"Yes, I know! Applejack will rest in peace. Everyone will rest in peace."

Zhou Ke took a last look at Ajie who had his back to him.

He reached out to wipe his eyes, stood up, and strode into the rapidly blurring physical structure before him.

A few seconds later, Wu Qinhu rushed over with bare hands. He saw Ajie, and Ajie also saw him.

The weak warrior grasped the blade with both hands, igniting the last bit of his anger in his body, and even the blade of the blade was ignited with red flames.

"I remember you!"

The Tiger King stared at Ajie and said:

"A defeated general."

"Stupid!"

This is Ajie’s answer, and also his little secret.

Who says fools can't learn bad words?
Look, isn’t this a good learning experience?
