Fighting
Not only did he talk about meeting, but he also specifically mentioned offline, which seems abrupt no matter how you look at it.
Moreover, the other party's IP is in the main galaxy. If Blue Ant wants to see her tomorrow, he has to set off right now.
[Why?] Shang Jingyan replied with three words.
[I have something very important to tell you.] The other party dropped the heavy news in a calm tone, [about the brain worm.]
Shang Jingyan's pupils shrank slightly. This was the first time she actually heard this word from someone else!
But for some reason, she was not completely relieved. She paused for a second and said briefly: [Okay. I will arrange the meeting place when the time comes.]
The second day.
Cui Yunting is a woman who can't stop. After meeting Shang Jingyan, she went to the other hemisphere of the Dragon Sea without stopping.
Shang Jingyan stayed in the coastal area. Dragon Sea was indeed Cui Yunting’s base camp. There was actually a branch of the Sauvignon Shooting Club in the suburbs not far from the coast.
She was waiting for the real group meeting in the afternoon and was killing time in the club. A group of tall and strong "pirate NPCs" had already become familiar to her.
"Hey little girl, you have a pretty good aim. Do you want to follow me?"
"It's just that my physique is too weak. I need to practice more."
"Should I teach you some fighting skills? It's very useful when you're escaping."
Shang Jingyan: “…”
Thanks, but she probably wouldn't run for her life in such a peaceful environment.
Shang Jingyan had a fitness habit in his previous life, but after coming to this world, he was too busy and became slack. The strength of his limbs is not as good as before, but he is young and has good explosive power.
With the idea that it would be a waste if she didn't learn, she followed the pirates and practiced some simple enemy-killing techniques.
Perhaps the improvement of her mental strength would also benefit her body. Shang Jingyan's limbs were much more flexible than in her previous life, and she learned very quickly. The pirate sister even patted her on the shoulder and said with emotion: "What a martial arts genius! Now that you know these few moves, you don't have to be afraid of any petty thieves on the run."
Shang Jingyan expressed her gratitude sincerely. She would go back to the Exile Galaxy in the future. Although she had never encountered it, from the memory of the "original owner", there were many places with poor security in the Exile Galaxy.
Shang Jingyan was sweating all over. By the time he finished taking a shower and having lunch, it was already noon.
She set up a canopy and chairs under the coconut trees, and was pulled into the spiritual network meeting of the Zhenwu Group at one o'clock on time.
Just like the previous times, in the empty space, the members who were pretending to be cool, led by Wei Yu, nodded and greeted: "Pan, Happy New Year."
Since last time, Shang Jingyan's seat has been moved to the side of the conference table.
She nodded casually and found that the positions of those members she didn't know had also changed, and new people had come. She knew that she might have missed many regular meetings. Although her position had changed, she was still a member on the outside.
The Zhenwu Group now seems to be very cold to her, because she is too successful and famous, and has become a hot potato. You Yao, who had contacted her earlier, is not here. Shang Jingyan occasionally looks through her circle of friends and can see his daily life as a little actor.
It is really embarrassing that an organization that claims to be against virtuality has a four-star dream builder who is proficient in virtuality.
In the past, Shang Jingyan would make excuses by saying that she wanted to scare people away from virtual reality, but now, even if the real object group is stupid, they will not listen to her nonsense.
The others began to report on their current situation. Everything was going well and it didn't matter whether she was there or not.
Shang Jingyan guessed that the reason she was called to the regular meeting this time was probably because... everyone had to be gathered for the first meeting of the new year?
She herself had no intention of leveling up in the mysterious organization, so it was no surprise that the Zhenwu Group treated her as a mascot.
But...it won't work this time. Under the current circumstances, she can't find out anything.
Shang Jingyan thought for a few seconds and decided to throw a bomb.
"I want to ask a question." She suddenly interrupted the meeting and everyone looked at her.
The eyelids of Tail Feather at the top twitched slightly, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Shang Jingyan was seen propping up her chin in a lazy posture, with one hand raised - judging from her silhouette, she was even wearing a beach swimsuit! If you didn't know, you would have thought she was on vacation.
She steadied her tone and said calmly, "You ask."
Shang Jingyan: "If I want to withdraw from the Zhenwu Group, who should I ask for approval?"
All of a sudden, everything around was quiet, and several people turned their heads and looked at her in surprise.
"No! Absolutely not!"
Someone immediately objected.
Shang Jingyan raised an eyebrow: "Why, can't I do that?"
"Of course not. There's no reason for her to quit midway. She's already reached the middle and senior levels..."
"In fact, she doesn't know any secrets, so the level doesn't matter. We haven't sold ourselves, so of course we can retreat!"
"Oh, I saw it a long time ago. How could a dream builder be on the same page with us?"
Without Shang Jingyan's instigation, the members started quarreling. Just as the quarrel was about to break out, Wei Yu became visibly angry and shouted, "Quiet!"
The voices died down sporadically. When no one spoke again, Wei Yu said, "...This problem is not something I can handle. I will ask your superiors for you. If you insist on quitting, your superiors will send someone to negotiate with you."
Shang Jingyan achieved her goal. She wanted to contact higher-ups in this way, so she stopped making trouble and leaned back comfortably with her hands crossed.
Perhaps because Shang Jingyan interrupted the meeting, the second half of the meeting ended hastily.
Blue Ant was not at the regular meeting. She was on her way. She said she would meet after the meeting, but in fact she would not arrive at Dragon Sea until the evening.
At the agreed time, Shang Jingyan was waiting at the port, and after a while he saw a young man coming down from the deck.
She still had her blue mushroom-like hair and was wearing a sports suit. She looked very casual. She was not dragging a suitcase with her. She stood among the crowd of tourists with her bare hands and her head down, looking a little out of place.
Shang Jingyan watched her approach, walked up to her and asked, "Blue Ant?"
The latter nodded and remained silent.
In an instant, Shang Jingyan frowned almost imperceptibly and felt a strong sense of disharmony.
From the brief impression she had from her last meeting with Blue Ant, he was not a taciturn person. On the contrary, he was quite lively.
But since we met today, this person has remained aloof and lowered his head, without saying a word.
Shang Jingyan had some doubts in her mind, but she thought that the other party's abnormality might be related to the brain worm she mentioned, so she didn't think much about it.
"Let's go." She put her hands in her pockets, "I chose the same place as before."
The last time we met was at a bar, and this time was no different.
But the waitress this time was a little unusual. The bartender's left eye was covered with an eye patch, and there was a large tattoo on her exposed arm. When she flipped the bartending tools, you could clearly see the undulations of the muscles in her arm.
Shang Jingyan chose this bar specifically because it was introduced by Sister Cui as a bar for the "locals" in Longzhihai, and there were no tourists coming in and out.
The bartender seemed to recognize her as a guest brought by the owner of his own planet and smiled at her. The tattooed pattern at the corner of his eye looked quite mysterious under the light.
"Would you like anything to drink?"
"It will be all right."
Blue Ant pointed to a random line on the menu - Lemon Planet Wine.
Shang Jingyan felt even more uncomfortable.
She clearly remembered that last time Blue Ant had clearly said that she disliked this kind of wine the most, thinking it tasted bitter and that she would never drink it even if she was beaten to death.
Even X71 was puzzled: [Is this human different from the last time? ]
Shang Jingyan observed the blue ants calmly.
Blue Ant was half a head shorter than her, and when she lowered her head, Shang Jingyan could not see her expression clearly.
After arriving at the Lemon Planet, she drank half a cup of bitter wine in one gulp without moving a muscle.
Shang Jingyan still remembered that last time, she would frown exaggeratedly when there was a little bitterness in the wine. She had the habit of observing the details of people and would never make a mistake.
She asked, “Is it delicious?”
Blue Ant said calmly: "Not bad."
At this time, the bartender brought snacks and briefly blocked the two of them for a few seconds.
And just as he left, the blue ant suddenly jumped up, and X71 screamed and sounded the alarm!
Shang Jingyan only saw a flash of bright white in the dim light before he realized it was the blade of a dagger.
Thanks to her high-level mental power and the fact that she had felt something was wrong, she reacted quickly even though she was stunned for a moment. She tilted her head to avoid the opponent's head, grabbed the opponent's wrist with both hands, turned around and twisted it, and threw the blue ant hard on the table!
Shang Jingyan: Damn, I didn’t expect that the fighting skills I learned during the day would be useful so soon!
If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have been killed.
In the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed, Blue Ant's dagger slipped out of his hand, the small round table was knocked over, broken cups and snacks were scattered all over the floor, and wine was flowing everywhere.
Blue Ant's arm was pierced by the glass fragments and blood gushed out immediately. A normal person would pause for a moment because of the pain, but she remained expressionless. She reached back and grabbed Shang Jingyan's arm, trying to get up again!
Everything happened in a flash. Only then did the people around react. However, they were all very calm. No one exclaimed. They just quickly held down the blue ant to prevent her from counterattacking.
"What are you doing? Private fights are prohibited in our bar!"
Shang Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still beating wildly. Fortunately, she had been more careful and chose this bar. Otherwise, she would not have the confidence to escape unscathed after what happened just now.
Controlled knives, how did this person pass security check!
Now that he had calmed down, Shang Jingyan realized that his wrist was a little dull and painful, as if it was dislocated.
The bartender came over and grabbed her hand, then straightened it out with a click, causing her to grit her teeth in pain.
The blue ant over there said nothing and continued to struggle silently. She didn't react even when the glass fragments were deeply embedded in her flesh.
Anyone could tell something was wrong. The bartender stepped forward, kicked the dagger away, and then chopped the back of Blue Ant's neck with his hand. The latter finally stopped moving.
"The camera testified that it was this guest who started it first. I just subdued her."
The bartender shook his hands, then turned his head and said to Shang Jingyan, "Don't worry. If anything happens, we will go to the police station to report it later."
Two hours later, at a nearby police station.
Shang Jingyan was holding the hot water poured by the police, waiting to be questioned. She couldn't describe her feelings, and thought silently:
As a literary and artistic worker, why do I always encounter life-and-death crises recently? Falling into the water and being stabbed, it's like living in an action movie.
"I found out."
The lawyer Cui Yunting found projected the information onto her laptop and said in a strange tone, "There's nothing special about this person's resume. He's just an ordinary person."
The information includes Blue Ant’s real name, ID card information, and even the schools she has attended since she was a child.
For a hacker, this means that all his past has been exposed, and it also indirectly shows that Blue Ant did not prepare him at all before coming.
...No, it should be said that those who want to use her "things" don't care what happens to her after they are done using her.
Shang Jingyan shook his head and whispered to himself, "It's really useless to check these."
In fact, she already had a guess in her mind that the blue ant was not behaving like itself at all, as if it was being manipulated.
——Brain worms, it can only be them who did this.
Shang Jingyan rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit awkward.
Through the glass, you can see the inquiries of the blue ants on the other side.
She still hadn't recovered. She said nothing to the police and expressed her non-cooperation with her actions. She sat blankly in the chair, her head slightly lowered, and the bandage on her arm was bleeding.
Shang Jingyan asked the lawyer: "Can I talk to her alone?"
The lawyer pushed up his glasses and turned to negotiate with the police.
Ten minutes later, Shang Jingyan sat opposite Blue Ant.
There is transparent glass around them. If the blue ants move unusually, people outside can notice it immediately, but they cannot hear their conversation. This seems to be a "privilege" that Cui Yunting's identity has won for Shang Jingyan.
The cold white light shone down from overhead, leaving nothing to hide.
The blue ant had no reaction to her either, its eyes were dull and empty, as if it was in a trance.
Shang Jingyan leaned forward, looked directly into Blue Ant's eyes, folded his hands under his chin, covering his mouth to conceal the traces of his words.
Then, she quietly extended her mental tentacles.
The opponent's mental strength did not resist.
Shang Jingyan entered the blue ant's mental picture and saw a thick black fog. Anyone who saw it would think that the other party's cavitation was already terminal.
But clearly, the last time they met, this young man had no signs of illness, and his mental fluctuations were vigorous and healthy. The incidence of cavitation among the people in their group was significantly low.
The darkness was deep and shallow, like a polluted sea. Even the light of Shang Jingyan's spiritual body could not penetrate it, obstructing her vision.
Wanna try purification?
The moment she stopped, a tentacle suddenly shot out from behind her!
Shang Jingyan reacted quickly, and the ball of light pinched the tentacle. This is a living brain worm!
The black fog was stirred and vibrated. The brain worm was obviously prepared. When its plan failed, the gecko's tail broke and one of its long tentacle lost its power and was pulled over by Shang Jingyan.
The scales on the tentacles were still expanding and contracting, reflecting the colorful light of the laser.
Shang Jingyan was secretly shocked. Now the culprit was obvious.
The blue ants are being controlled. The brain worm actually has this terrifying ability!
This was different from what she expected. Shang Jingyan thought that the brain worm would use various mental attacks, but who knew that the other party would directly remotely control others to kill her physically.
Shang Jingyan: I thought it was an online fight, but you turned out to be playing offline Mortal Kombat with me?
However, it is simple and crude, but effective.
No matter how strong Shang Jingyan's mental strength is, his body is just a mortal body and can be killed by a single blade.
If the brain worm controls a large number of people around to hunt her down, she will never be able to escape!
In fact, this article has entered the final stage, but don’t worry, there should still be about 100,000 words.
