Chapter 95 No, yours is too short!

[The alien kangaroo has extracted the future equipment from the alien pocket. ]

The alien kangaroo stretched out his hands and took out a good thing from his pouch - it was a pair of high-tech chimeric mechanical wings. The kangaroo immediately put the mechanical wings on his shoulders.

"What a good sign! This person is possessed by a crow!" Anson Deer opened his eyes wide.

The next second, the pair of mechanical wings were smoothly embedded on the kangaroo's shoulders, and the metallic bird wings quickly extended to both sides.

Anson Deer grabbed the alien kangaroo's neck tightly. He knew what was going to happen next and started to panic. "Please, don't throw me away like a plankton shark!"

At this time, the alien kangaroo uttered a string of inexplicably funny English words:

"Speed ​​Up!"

As the words fell, a deep blue flame erupted from an "exhaust vent" behind the two pairs of mechanical wings.

“Bang!”

Driven by the flames, the mechanical wings drove the alien kangaroo into the air, and it shuttled to the end of the passage like an aurora.

"Fuck!"

Anson Deer's cheeks were squeezed and deformed, and his hair was blown back, turning it into a slicked back hair.

At the same time, the alien kangaroo also opened up a long distance between itself and Chainsaw Mickey Mouse - the alien kangaroo equipped with mechanical wings had a speed that could not be matched by the floating shark.

However, if it is a normal alien kangaroo, its speed will definitely not be as fast as that of the floating shark.

After all, the agility of the floating shark is 40 points, while the alien kangaroo only has 25 points. The difference of 15 points is a huge gap that cannot be crossed.

100 meters!

300 meters!

500 meters!

700 meters!

In just 8 seconds, the kangaroo equipped with chimeric mechanical wings carried Anson Deer across a distance of nearly hundreds of meters, but at this moment, the system prompt sounded.

[Because Future Police Officer No. 539, the Alien Kangaroo, has not paid the technology update fee for a long time, the use time limit of the chimeric mechanical wings is only 10 seconds, with 2 seconds left. ]

"No way, yours is too short?!" Anson Lu's eye twitched.

“Hehehe!!!”

Accompanied by a violent and hideous laugh, the muscular chainsaw man version of Mickey Mouse got closer and closer.

Its running speed increased at a terrifying rate - if it was originally at the level of a normal person, it has now far surpassed the world champion!

[The usage time of the chimeric mechanical wing has expired. ]

The system prompt sounded, and the mechanical wings automatically unclipped from the alien kangaroo's shoulders and bounced back into its alien pocket. The kangaroo also landed on the ground with the Anson deer on its back, making a dull sound.

"Bang!"

After the kangaroo landed, it continued to run towards the other end of the passage.

At this rate, even if he uses the mechanical wings to create a considerable distance, he will soon be caught up by Chainsaw Man Mickey Mouse!

However, Anson Lu had already prepared a trump card - in the fish tank that he was holding tightly, deep blue arcs of electricity were jumping wildly like pythons!

[After 24 seconds of power accumulation, the jellyfish in the tank has accumulated a lot of power. It can use "Vigor Lightning" to enhance the overall attributes of friendly chess types and restore the health of the chess types. ]

Not only that, in the alien kangaroo's pouch, a beast was quietly taking shape.

[After 24 seconds of growth, the floating fish in the tank has transformed into a floating shark. It is in the pocket of the alien kangaroo, waiting for the opportunity to escape from the cage! ]

"Alien Kangaroo, release the floating shark!" Anson Deer said, "Jellyfish in the tank, use all the accumulated electricity to use the skill - Vitality Lightning on the floating shark!"

"roar!!!"

The next moment, a dark stream of light rushed out from the pocket of the alien kangaroo, rushed into the sky and revealed its true form - it was a huge black shark, with water splashing on its sharp fangs.

At this moment, in the fish tank that Anson Deer was holding tightly, the pink jellyfish gathered all the electric arcs under the water to the surface of its body.

“Sizzle, sizzle—”

Then, a strong deep blue electric light burst out from the jellyfish's body and shot straight towards the body of the floating shark!

[With the bonus of Vitality Lightning, the attributes of the chess type 'Floating Crazy Shark' are improved - Strength 40→48 points, Agility 40→48 points, Intelligence: 0→8 points. ]

"Electricity is accumulated every 6 seconds, and each electricity can add 2 points to the overall attribute, so 24 seconds means 8 points of overall attribute," Anson Lu said with some surprise:

"If you charge up enough electricity for 60 seconds, you can increase the attribute by 20 points!"

As long as the electricity is fully accumulated, it can increase the attribute by 20 points, which is many times that of Xiao V. Moreover, Xiao V can only add one attribute, while the jellyfish in the tank add all attributes.

However, it takes a long time for the jellyfish in the tank to accumulate electricity.

However, Little V is not necessary. Moreover, Little V can not only increase the attributes of the chess type, but also be attached to weapons to increase its power.

Each has its own strengths.

At this moment, a violent black arc of electricity surged on the surface of the floating shark. It was like a black electric eel, emitting a terrifying sense of power!

"Go, jellyfish in the tank!"

Anson Deer threw the "jellyfish in the tank" to Chainsaw Mickey Mouse without hesitation, then jumped high from the back of the alien kangaroo and switched to the body of the floating crazy shark!

“Bang!”

Mickey Mouse, with muscles all over his body, grinned and used an electric saw to split the fish tank in half, causing the jellyfish in the tank to die tragically.

Since the energy lightning has been injected into the floating shark, Anson Deer no longer cares about the life and death of the jellyfish in the tank.

Moreover, the alien kangaroo can also sacrifice heroically at this time.

However, considering that the 'Jellyfish in the Tank' does not have a favorability system, while the Alien Kangaroo does, Anson Deer made a wise choice.

"Alien Kangaroo, I'm counting on you to support me. You must survive!"

Anson Deer said this while riding the enhanced floating shark farther and farther away.

With the running speed of the alien kangaroo, it is simply unable to catch up with the floating shark whose agility reaches a terrifying 48 points.

"Gah!"

The next second, the alien kangaroo was also killed by Mickey Mouse's chainsaw.

"Floating Crazy Shark, faster!"

Anson Deer held the dorsal fin of the floating shark tightly and gave the order.

"roar!!!"

The floating shark roared and shuttled through the passage like a gray stream of light - in just 20 seconds, it brought Anson Deer to the end of the passage.

At this moment, a cold, dark metal door blocked Anson Deer's sight.

"Floating Shark, use your skill on the metal door - Spiral Piercing!" Anson Deer fell from the back of the Floating Shark and gave the order in mid-air.

However, the floating shark did not follow his instructions.

[This metal door cannot be destroyed and cannot be selected as a target for skill releases - only by solving the two puzzles of the metal door and entering the correct answers on the two combination locks can the metal door open! ]

Hearing the system prompt, Anson Lu's jaw almost dropped to the ground. He murmured in shock:

"Sister, this game involves both running and solving puzzles. I don't think this crappy game requires me to unlock the combination lock within 10 seconds. This is too crazy!"

Behind him, the violent sound of the chainsaw spinning violently was getting closer and closer, as if the god of death was coming with a scythe, and Anson Deer's heart beat slightly faster.

"Floating Crazy Shark, help me go back and stop that monster!"

The cruel order came down, and he and the floating shark separated, both heading in different directions. Anson Deer took a deep breath and looked at the two puzzles engraved on the metal door.

Two minutes ago, the first monitoring room.

In the cold and dark monitoring room, Asuka Uesugi, Ritsu Urushihara, and Chu Qimo were standing next to the metal door, each guessing the answer to the puzzle on the door.

And Yuri was looking up at the surveillance screen.

On the surveillance screen, there are two identical dark passages, as if they were made of two mirrors reflecting each other.

In the second dark passage.

——At the beginning of the game, Cosimo transformed his limbs and back with cyber technology, installed powerful mechanical prostheses, rushed out at a terrifying speed, and shook off Chainsaw Mickey Mouse.

And in the first dark passage.

——Anson Deer summoned the chess field and frantically performed a series of operations before he barely got rid of Chainsaw Mickey Mouse.

However, Yuri knew in his heart that this man was always at ease, and most of his panic reactions were pretended. He might never have been in a panic.

For now, Cosimo's speed and progress are far ahead of Anson's.

However, Anson Deer has another trick up his sleeve.

After using the "Chimeric Mechanical Wings" and "Floating Shark" successively, Anson Deer shuttled through the passage at a terrifying speed and even reached the metal door at the end faster than Cosimo.

He was waiting for the metal door to open.

[First puzzle: Four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, three legs in the evening (guess one thing)]

"Huh?" Uesugi Asuka put her hand on her chin and said contemptuously, "The answer to the first question is so simple, even an elementary school student can answer it, right?"

"Yes, the first question is not difficult." Urushihara Ritsu said slowly:

"The source of this question is the famous Sphinx riddle in Oedipus Rex, and the answer is 'human beings'.

In the morning of life, man is just a child and needs to use two legs and two hands to crawl, so he has four legs; at the noon of life, when he enters middle age, he only uses two legs to walk.

In the twilight of his life, he was old and frail and had to use a cane to walk, so he was called Three Legs. "

"This kind of elementary school riddle doesn't need any explanation, okay?"

As Asuka Uesugi spoke, she stretched out her white fingers and pressed five English letters on the keyboard of the first electronic lock - HUMAN.

"bite--"

The combination lock interface turns green, indicating that the first combination lock has been unlocked.

[Second puzzle: Two legs in the morning, four legs at noon, three legs in the evening (guess a person's name)]

"Then the key is, where should we start with the second question?" Urushihara Ritsu's finger slid across his lips. "Guess a name? That's a bit difficult."

Yuri withdrew his gaze from the surveillance screen and said in a cold voice:

"Is it possible that the first question exists just to make you think about the second question in the direction of Oedipus Rex?"

"I agree." Chu Qimo echoed, "Obviously, the first question is just an appetizer, and it exists to guide players to think about the second question in the direction of Oedipus Rex."

"I've read this story, but I don't remember it very well." Asuka Uesugi turned around and asked:

"What about you?"

"I have a deep impression. I have been forced to learn these things since I was thirteen, and I can't forget them at all." As Ritsu Urushihara said this, he closed his eyes and went over the plot of "Oedipus Rex" in his mind.

Chu Qimo looked at the surveillance screen and said deeply: "The president is about to be caught up by the monster. We need to be faster."

After a while, Urushihara Ritsu slowly opened his deep eyes and said with interest:

"I roughly understand it. This puzzle is quite interesting if you think in this way."

Asuka Uesugi held her forehead with her hand, "Then you input it."

She began to understand why Anson Lu said that he wanted to keep his distance from Urushihara Ritsu. He was being chased half to death by Chainsaw Mickey Mouse, but Urushihara Ritsu was still enjoying the puzzle game.

"Don't worry, Lu Jun will find a way."

Urushihara Ritsu raised the corner of his mouth and explained slowly:

“In his early years, Oedipus was a normal child, so he had two legs;

In middle age, after he murdered his father and married his mother, he became a being worse than an animal, so he had four legs;

In his later years, he destroyed his own eyes out of guilt, and used a cane, which left him with three legs.

"Two legs in the morning, four legs at noon, and three legs in old age. The answer to this question is," Urushihara Ritsu slowly raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Oedipus himself."

"I see." There was a hint of surprise in Chu Qimo's eyes. He had never expected Urushihara Ritsu's idea.

Yuri passed by the three people, stretched out his snow-white fingers briskly, typed the six letters 'Odipus' on the second combination lock, and clicked 'Confirm'.

"bite--"

The color of the combination lock interface changes from red to green, indicating that the puzzle is solved correctly.

"Fuck!" President Lu's voice was heard.

Yuri took two steps back, and the next second, the metal door was knocked open by a boy with messy hair.

Anson Deer widened his eyes, turned his head suddenly, and slammed the metal door shut with a bang.

“Sizzle——”

The violent sound of the electric saw gradually subsided after the door frame closed.

[It was detected that the player 'Anson Deer' from the Hell Lighthouse had reached the end of the passage and passed through the metal door. The first game was over, and the guild 'Hell Lighthouse' took the lead in scoring a point.]

[MVP awarding session]

[Speed ​​Race MVP – 1 minute 33 seconds, Anson Lu (former chess player)]

[Puzzle solving MVP – 1 minute 49 seconds, Urushihara Ritsu (Crow Gambler)]

Everything returned to calm, and Anson Deer leaned against the door, breathing heavily.

"Lu Jun, that was a close call." Urushihara Ritsu smiled slightly.

"Haha, you have come to this day. To be honest, not seeing you being chopped by a chainsaw will become my biggest regret in 2026." Asuka Uesugi raised the corners of her mouth and stretched out her hand proudly.

"2026 has just begun, and there are many regrets left for you." Anson Lu took her hand, slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and said with a curse:

"Damn it, you idiots must be spies sent by the law enforcement team! It took you so long to solve a primary school puzzle. I almost got hacked to death by that thing with a chainsaw, okay?!"
