Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 156 6. Ajie's "Legacy" - Enhanced Johnson ProMax

In the following days, Zhou Ke and D-4 continued to act in this style.

Every four hours of rest in the material world, Zhou Ke would jump into the spirit world wearing the Crow Assassin mask and summon shadow warriors as "bait" to attract the surrounding spirit creatures to launch a refreshing Waaaaagh against him, while he and his three "J Demons" would stand on the battlefield of the spirit world and fight to the death until they were exhausted.

After realizing he can't hold on any longer, Zhou Ke will take off his mask and give the violent spirit creature a rather flirtatious middle finger as a farewell gift, then jump back into the material world just as he appeared.

This is when D-4 comes into play.

There would always be some spiritual creatures with poor brains or who were angered by Zhou Ke and would follow him into the material plane regardless of anything, trying to beat this bastard up, but what often awaited them was a fire attack from the fully armed D-4.

You monsters are hiding in the spirit world, and I, the robot girl, really can’t do anything to you. But once you enter the material plane, come and taste my powerful and domineering “flaming red lips”.

Of course, after defeating the spirit world thugs with absolute firepower, D-4 will, with a 60% chance, still need to spend some time performing his duties as an "external health disposal plan". Zhou Ke's resistance to psychic energy is much stronger in the sublimator state, but an overly intense battle in the high-risk environment of the spirit world will still increase his intracranial pressure.

Although you can quickly reduce stress by just meditating at this time, who would rely on meditation to eliminate buffs?
What's more, there is a docile and durable mechanical girl by your side. Not only can you reduce the pressure, but you can also restore some San value in joy. Why not do it?

In short, after this "adulterous couple" had been seducing and committing crimes for nearly 60 hours, the many masks in Zhou Ke's hands, both in terms of quantity and quality, could barely support his dignity as a "beginner mask master."

The two old masks "Metal Hunter" and "Crow Assassin" have the highest degree of enhancement, reaching an energy aggregation level of about 60%-70% of permanent masks.

The four new masks are "Shadow Leopard·Flash", "Phantom Demon·Water Moon Mirror Flower", "Vine Demon·Tree World Advent" and "Water Spirit·Blizzard". These masks were extracted and shaped by Zhou Ke after killing and absorbing a large number of elite spiritual creatures. Their degree of enhancement is very general, but they are unique in functionality.

As for their names, you don't have to worry about them. Zhou Ke just gave D-4 this appearance. It is a way for him to express his longing for the past.

"The spiritual creatures in the occupied area also have a sense of territory. These are the only species we have visited in the past few days. Do you think we should go deeper into the occupied area?"

Zhou Ke hid in a makeshift tree house made by hollowing out a huge tree. While chewing an energy bar, he said to D-4 beside him:
"It's all because of the activities of the Eagle Nation in recent years. The patrols and expulsions in the material plane have also affected the spiritual world. Those rare monsters no longer appear in this area."

"I suggest you take it easy."

D-4 disagreed with taking the risk. She said seriously:
"You said it yourself, the four new masks you have are enough to handle battles of average intensity. Even against an Ascendant, they can ensure that you can escape unscathed. There is no need to go to the spirit world to look for a more dangerous opponent just to gamble on the 'drop probability' of the mask.

The forms of spiritual creatures are so strange that it is hard to tell when you might capsize.

Besides, several days have passed. I estimate that Ms. Evil Eagle will contact you soon. The most important goal at this stage is to explore the No. 11 Time Maze."

"And Qiao Shan, who you left at Beta Base without paying any attention to, I don't know if that unlucky guy has woken up yet."

Wu Neng also disagreed with Zhou Ke's continued adventure, saying:

"Based on your combat experience in the spirit world over the past few days, this machine has discovered that the spirit world is also different from the spirit world. Combined with Jiu Bang's statement, that phase is the projection of the subspace in the material world. It is like the 'back' of the material world in the psychic area, and its overall terrain follows the outline of the material world.

That is to say, in the absence of a map of the material world, once you are trapped in the more complex environment of the spiritual world, if you encounter danger, the machine will not be able to guide you to the right path as quickly as possible.

At present, D-4 cannot accompany you into the spirit world as a guard, so I suggest you quit while you are ahead.

Let’s wait until later to explore the area ahead.”

"Okay, okay, since you all say so, I will temporarily put aside this ambitious 'Occupied Area Exploration Plan'."

Zhou Ke shrugged. He finished his energy bar and designed a 4-minute countdown on the energy device. Then he stood up and waved to D-, saying:

"Baby, let's start today's combat training."

"Okay, or 50%?"

D-4 asked, and Zhou Ke curled his lips and said:
"Who are you looking down on with only 50%? You are capable of 55%!"

"Ah, sometimes I really admire how you can say such cowardly things in the most arrogant tone."

D-4 sighed and said:
"Every time I think I understand humans well enough, you use this magical performance to subvert my cognition. It's only 55% of the power, right?

Row!
Under this output limit, I will use more dangerous fighting techniques, please be mentally prepared."

Zhou Ke didn't answer. He flipped over and jumped off the tree house. When he landed on the ground like a ninja, he had already pulled out a black panther-shaped mask and put it on his face. The appearance of this thing was even more wild, as if Zhou Ke was really wearing an animal mask decoration.

Unfortunately, he is still the only one who can see it.

The moment the Black Panther mask covered Zhou Ke, his flexibility and speed were maximized as far as his physical fitness allowed. He swung out a series of violent straight punches at a frequency that was difficult for ordinary people to capture with the naked eye, as if he was warming up. He actually named it "The Flash". As the name suggests, this mask is specially used for close combat.

Although Zhou Ke, a coward, doesn't like to engage in close combat with the enemy, he is well aware of the fact that he can do without it but cannot live without it.

When D-4 hit the ground with a super classic "superhero landing", he gave Zhou Ke a formulaic charming smile, then crossed his arms, and with two clicks, the single-molecule combat knife with a power-accumulating structure popped out from his arms.

This is the "more dangerous fighting technique" she just mentioned.

"Well, I think you should keep your power at 50% for now. It's not that I'm afraid of this shiny thing, but it feels a little dangerous. Good girls shouldn't play with knives."

"You're telling me that now? Sorry, it's too late!"

With D-4's teasing laughter, D-4, which had entered the "combat training" state, activated its thrusters and rushed forward like a rocket, but was dodged by Zhou Ke with a nimble backflip. Then, he started an empty-handed fight with D-4 by dodging with afterimages and retreating to counterattack at full speed.

Zhou Ke has been training very seriously during this period, and the robot girl is also a very demanding instructor.

The fighting style she taught was free of all the bells and whistles. It was very much a combination of Jeet Kune Do and Sanda, with a hint of unlimited defense techniques. Every move was aimed at hitting the vital points directly. With the blessing of super speed and agility, it was a bit difficult for D-4 to cope with it.

Of course, in actual combat, the robot girl would not rush up foolishly to fight with swords, otherwise her six fire suppression weapon bays full of ammunition would be installed in vain.
Similarly, Zhou Ke would not swing his fists foolishly in actual combat. The battle at this time was more about training Zhou Ke to adapt to his microsecond nerve reaction speed more quickly, and trying to train close-range counterattacks into muscle memory.

Just like Wu Qinhu, there is no need to think at all in close combat. Let the body fight and use the brain to make tactical decisions.

It sounds outrageous, but for the "inhuman" Ascendants, it is completely possible.

But as the fight went on, Zhou Ke, sensing that he was going to lose, started to cheat.

After dodging the mechanical girl's sharp blades with extreme effort, he used the Flash mask to instantly burst out at a speed to distance himself from her. When D-4 pounced on him, he put on the "Blizzard" mask and mobilized his psychic energy the moment he lost speed. A white halo extended from under Zhou Ke's feet and froze D-4 at a high speed when she landed.

The extraction mask from the monster "Water Spirit" was very useful in this regard. In the blink of an eye, D-4 was frozen in the crystal clear ice, while maintaining the elegant posture of the pounce and roundhouse kick. Zhou Ke took a breath and tilted his head to admire it for a second. Then he heard a click, and the single-molecule combat knife with a chill in the shattered ice was pressed against his neck.

"I won."

D-4 reached out to brush the ice chips off his hair and said something casually.

"Okay, you win, you're on top tonight."

Zhou Ke surrendered without a care in the world, which made D-4 so angry that her teeth itched. Only then did she realize that the outcome of this simulated battle was meaningless to her.

No matter whether she wins or loses, she is the one who gets stabbed.

"Ding Dong, you have a new text message, please check it."

At this time, Wu Neng interrupted the not-so-good atmosphere with a new voice that made Zhou Ke Bengbu too surprised. He cursed:

"What the hell is going on? Change my voice pack back to the old one. It makes me feel like a corporate slave waiting for his superior to assign him a task at any time."

As he complained like this, he lowered his head and glanced at the message that popped up on the screen of the energy-comprehension device. It was sent by the evil eagle, but Zhou Ke frowned after reading it.

"what happened?"

D-4 was too busy using her thought loop to simulate the depressed emotional data stream. She shook off the ice chips on her body and approached to ask a question. Zhou Ke shared the information with her and said:

"Qiao Shan's awakening encountered trouble in the last step, and the evil eagle told us to go back and take a look."

"Did the experiment get out of control?"

D-4 immediately set up a route from her current location to Beta Base in her pathfinding module. She guessed:

“After all, when we found Qiao Shan, he had already undergone a replica of Ajie’s surgery by the bio-enhancers of the Flash Organization. That set of procedures had never been fully verified, so it’s normal for problems to arise now.

What I worry about is that you will get another Ajie."

"I hope not."

Zhou Ke shook his head and said:
"Although I don't mind having another loyal thug, there's a little girl waiting for him in the City-State District. Qiao Shan also said that he would avenge Slag Town himself and take on Qiao Ya's part of the responsibility. If he just dies like this, he will be forgotten by everyone as a coward and a person who has lost his faith."

"Actually, I think you don't have to be so pessimistic."

Wu Neng clearly has his own understanding of this matter. He said:

"Before at the Second Research Institute, I compared the experimental procedures of Ajie and Qiao Shan. I confirmed that the Flash Organization did not simply copy the failed experimental procedures. They made quite good improvements at many key nodes, and even deleted and modified some of the underlying reinforcement logic.

This machine thinks that, although we don’t need to have high expectations on the moral standards of researchers from the Flash Organization, we should at least acknowledge their professional qualities.

There may be problems with Qiao Shan’s experiment, but it is unlikely that Qiao Shan will have problems because of the experiment.” “Why does your robot assistant have a pointy head?”

Zhou Ke complained:
"Can you please talk seriously? I know you've connected to the database of the old civilization, but please don't burn all that crap into your own thought circuits, okay?"

"Shall we leave now?"

D-4 said to Zhou Ke:

"Follow the route I've mapped out. At our fastest speed, we'll pass through this jungle and reach the edge of the Jiu State in three to four hours. Then we'll signal them to send someone to pick us up."

"Okay, let's go. Hey? Why don't you leave?"

"Ahem, I think we should have a competition. If I'm faster, you can solve it yourself in the next half month. Although I don't hate the wonderful feeling of the special simulated data flow that is like an inspiration burst under that special state, I am very annoyed by your many strange requests every time."

"Haha, the evil robot finally stopped pretending and took the first step to resist human will, right? I knew this would happen sooner or later! Okay, let's compete. If I win! You little jerk, you better prepare to face the bizarre tortures that exceed the limits of human imagination!
Where are we now?"

------

As it turned out, Zhou Ke had somewhat overestimated his speed and endurance.

When he ran desperately to the edge of the Jiubang territory, D-4 had been waiting there for a long time and even had time to send a signal to ask Jiubang to send a aircraft to pick him up.

Only then did he realize that the last time they competed in speed, D-4 had obviously let him go in order to spare his fragile human self-esteem. The maximum speed of this robot girl was too terrifying. What's more, she could fly. How could a two-legged upright ape like you, who runs on the ground, compare with her?

But after realizing that D-4 was actually very good at pretending, Zhou Ke had new concerns.

He circled around D-4 with a suspicious look, and then when the Jiubang aircraft landed, he asked fiercely in a low voice:

"So, every time you simulate an outburst of the mimic emotion flow, are you also pretending?"

"Uh?"

D-4 looked at Zhou Ke in surprise, and wanted to tell him the real answer, but she soon remembered her insights from some detailed observations of human males, plus the "skills to win over men" taught by her plastic sister Weng Meiyu.

So D-4 showed a subtle smile and whispered softly in Zhou Ke's ear:

"you guess?"

"Aaaaah! You damn evil robot."

At this moment, Zhou Ke really felt that D-4's overly healthy mimicry personality was not a good thing.

This fucking makes me lose confidence!

Amid Wu Neng's despicable laughter, Zhou Ke turned his head with a sour face and glanced at the falling Jiubang aircraft. He rolled his eyes and took out another mask and put it on his face, then made a "shut up" gesture to D-4. A few minutes later, the shabby aircraft landed, and as the hatch opened, Afu, who had not been seen for several days, walked out in good spirits.

She greeted D-4, and then said to Zhou Ke, who was smiling beside her:

"What's wrong with you? Why are you laughing so happily? Did you eat magpie shit? Qiao Shan can't even wake up, why don't you worry about your subordinates?"

"I just think he's got a lot of luck and I don't need to worry about him."

Zhou Ke showed an indifferent expression, exchanged a few words with Afu, and then followed her onto the narrow aircraft. During the whole process, D-4 looked at Afu with a rather subtle look.

Because she confirmed that Mr. Zhou Ke, who was standing behind her, had not spoken a word.

The Afu in front of him was talking to the air in another direction as if she was possessed. The best thing was that the other two psychics on the aircraft did not notice anything wrong.

This should be the special effect of the "Phantom Demon·Water Moon Mirror Flower" mask.

Mr. Zhou Ke told her that this illusion mask had no offensive power, nor would it increase any defense or other effects, but with the support of its own psychic energy, it could bring out the effects of the phantom demon's natural illusions and confusion to the fullest.

This is Zhou Ke’s favorite of the four new masks he got.

Now it seems that Mr. Zhou Ke's love for illusion masks is really justified. Even an ascended psychic master like Afu can fall into his trap when he lets his guard down.

Of course, this was also because Afu had no vigilance and no ill will towards them. Because of Polina's incident, Afu's trust in these two people had greatly increased. If any other psychic was here, Zhou Ke's trick would not be so effective. But at this moment, Zhou Ke, who was sitting next to Afu and watching Afu talking to the air like a little fool, still wanted to see the limit of his mask.

He had a hunch that the "Water Moon Mirror Flower" mask had the potential to become his "new trump card" under normal circumstances. After all, he was different from other psychics with extremely violent auras. He had always relied on his brain to make a living.

The best option is to deal with the enemy without taking any action.

Zhou Ke watched Afu's "one-man show" until they arrived at the Beta base, then he became serious. This place was full of psychics with various abilities. If he wanted to continue to maintain the effect of the illusion, he had to concentrate. After all, the enhancement level of this mask was too low, and problems would easily arise if he was not careful.

Moreover, this illusion that comes from the monster Phantom is of the "suggestive" type. He has to make sure, like Aizen, that everyone who sees him is instantly pulled into the illusion, and it is very difficult to maintain the mental suggestion for a long period of time.

After all, he is not a master spellcaster.

However, perhaps Zhou Ke had some kind of evil nature that made him really talented in "deception". When he came to the "technology area" at the bottom of the Beta base under the leadership of Afu, all the psychics he met along the way were successfully implanted with the suggestion of "Water Moon Mirror Flower" by Zhou Ke.

But when they arrived at the area where Qiao Shan was, Zhou Ke tried to implant mental suggestion into the evil eagle Rhine who was sitting next to him reading the magic book. Rhine noticed it just as he started. The latter glanced at him in surprise. When he realized what Zhou Ke was going to do, Rhine showed a rather strange smile.

Okay, you want to have some fun, right?
Come then.

The moment their eyes met for the second time, Zhou Ke felt that the world around him began to spin irregularly when he saw Rhine's eyes. The only thing left in the world before his eyes were Rhine's eyes shining with purple light, which looked very much like the miserable scene of being poisoned by the moon in the anime.

His spirit was isolated at this moment, as if it was roughly pulled out of his body and stuffed into an invisible steel cage.

broken!

I left a flaw and was caught by this "evil vulture".

"click"

The phantom mask on his face made an inaudible shattering sound. Although it was not completely broken, it lost at least 10% of its enhancement. After Rhine took the initiative to end her "anti-illusion", Zhou Ke bowed to her helplessly, indicating that you are so powerful and it is me who is making a fool of myself.

"There is still room for improvement."

Lai Yin commented approvingly, leaving Afu beside him confused. No, who are you talking to, Miss? Isn't Zhou Ke right next to me, checking on Qiao Shan? Why are you talking to the air?
Ah, no!

Afu was nervous at this moment. She immediately realized that something was wrong from the eldest lady's reaction.

His strength as a curse master was still online. He took out a strange magic weapon and slapped it on his face, instantly wiping out the mental suggestion left by Zhou Ke. Then he pounced on the evil-minded Zhou Ke with his fangs and claws, and almost scratched his face with blood.

"Alas, I am showing off my skills in front of an expert."

Zhou Ke waved his hands, skipping this step awkwardly, and then connected Wu Neng to the data interface of the placement cabin to check the situation of the biological cabin. After a moment, through Wu Neng's analysis, he turned back to Rhine and said:
"Has Qiao Shan woken up? All his body reactions show that he is very healthy."

"That's the problem."

Rhine sighed and said:
"The body is awake, but the spirit is still asleep. This is the first time that my therapist has encountered this situation. She told me that the biochemical warrior enhancement that Qiao Shan experienced before must have changed his spirit and thinking. He, a person without psychic talent, actually has the prototype of a psychic organ in his brain.
You know this isn't normal.

Now that we are unable to crack the secret of the bio-enhancement of the instantaneous light tissue, we can only wake him up to this point. It's not that we can't use stimulation therapy, but mainly because it may be dangerous if we force stimulation in his condition. "

"I can understand."

Zhou Ke nodded seriously.

It is indeed terrifying that a biochemical warrior has grown psychic organs, but it also means that the "Artificial Sublimator" plan of the Flash Organization may have entered a new stage, and Qiao Shan is the test subject.

"I suggest you send Qiao Shan back to the City State District."

Rhine put down the magic book and said:

“My brother’s medical structure has been restored under the leadership of Moni, and the equipment they have can try to wake him up in a gentler way.

Of course, you can stay with us.

According to Jiu Bang's understanding of psychic organs, when Qiao Shan's psychic organs grow to maturity, he will most likely wake up naturally."

"Don't bother. Just stay here."

Zhou Ke said:
"I'm about to go to Time Maze No. 11 to play around. I don't have that much time to run back and forth, so, the progress of this matter..."

"That's what I'm saying."

Rhine stood up and said:
"All preparations are complete. We will set off in two days!"
