Dream Technology (14)
Shi Jianxia ended the communication with Bai Xiaojiu, and looked down at the ground from the aircraft. It was like a zombie siege, and the corners of his lips slowly rose.
The doctor has reached the end of his rope and no longer has any bargaining chips to allow him to sit back and look down on those who are struggling under his control.
She pressed the virtual headset and said to Zhuang Mingyue, who was nervously directing the operation on the other end, "If I'm not mistaken, the doctor is still in the villa. Be careful that he sneaks into the investigators."
Zhuang Mingyue saw through the virtual screen the scene where the doctor had just asked Shi Jianxia to go to the Dream Technology headquarters through the tentacle monster's mouth.
She cursed the doctor in her heart for being more slippery than a loach, and actually being able to slip away from here under the close surveillance of the Zerg Investigation Department. Now when she heard Shi Jianxia say this, she was unable to react for a moment to what was going on.
However, when Shi Jianxia said that the doctor was still here, he must have had some basis for his statement and was not just making random remarks.
Zhuang Mingyue didn't have time to ask her why she made this judgment, and immediately made corresponding arrangements for the situation.
The capable people of the Cloud Legion have arrived and immediately joined the battle after receiving Lei Xin's order.
Each of them is a seasoned fighter. Even if the enhanced person has strong defense, he cannot withstand being pierced through the eyeballs and into the brain, destroying the energy crystal core in his body from the inside out, which is similar to the insect crystal.
The effect of [Immortal Gods] has not yet ended, and Shi Jianxia has brought the entire private residential area within its range of power.
All the cubs flew out of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and followed the capable people participating in the battle one-on-one, not giving the doctor any chance to fish in troubled waters.
More and more enhanced humans fell down. After the crystal cores in their bodies were destroyed, they lost their powerful defense that made them invulnerable to swords and guns. Lei Xin set fire to them and burned the bodies of the enhanced humans to ashes.
The battle gradually narrowed. Shi Jianxia activated the speaker function of his intelligent brain and said to the doctor, who was hiding in some corner of the villa, "Doctor, are you going to come out of the villa on your own, or do you want me to set fire to it and smoke you out?"
Her tone was cold, with a hint of obvious gloating. In the doctor's opinion, it was probably a case of a villain succeeding.
The well-kept garden was destroyed in the battle, and the gorgeous and elegant duplex villa lost its original splendor. Several places were collapsed by the enhanced people, and gray blood was splattered on the walls and doors, making it look like a haunted house in a horror story.
As Shi Jianxia finished speaking, the private residential area fell silent, with only the slight crackling sound of flames burning the enhanced human corpses.
The Doctor seemed ready to play the turtle.
Shi Jianxia didn't tolerate him and gave him an ultimatum, "If I don't see you in three minutes, I'll burn this place down. It won't be a big deal to turn over your body after the fire goes out."
Lei Xin is a powerful third-level extraordinary warrior with SS-level fire mimicry. Even if he cannot burn the doctor to death, he can trap him here. Once the garden and the duplex villa are burned down, he will have no place to hide, and it will be useless for him to be a turtle.
As time passed, everyone kept their eyes on every inch of the private residential area.
Meng Ji and the other guys who had no special abilities to follow dug around here and there, and found the exit of the secret laboratory that the enhanced humans had violently destroyed. However, they did not go in, but just squatted down and waited for the opportunity.
When the three minutes were up, Shi Jianxia nodded to Lei Xin.
Lei Xin did not delay. The surging fire breath surged out like a overwhelming wave on the sea, sweeping across the entire private residential area in an instant.
He marked the ability users and the cubs as friendly units and they were not affected by the scorching fire waves.
The flowers in the garden that had escaped the previous battle were not spared again. Almost the moment they touched the flames, they turned into ashes and withered.
The flames licked every inch of the garden, went straight into the secret underground laboratory, and gradually shrank towards the duplex villa.
Finally, when the flames completely occupied the area, a crisp sound of footsteps was heard from the corridor of the villa.
Tap! Tap!
The pace was neither fast nor slow, indicating that the person walking out of the darkness was not panicked by the desperate situation, but was calm and leisurely as he had been in the past.
The footsteps were not obvious in the blazing flames, but Shi Jianxia still noticed them keenly and looked accurately at the top floor of the duplex villa.
It has been transformed into a sky garden with glass walls all around. Whether you look from the outside in or the inside out, it is completely clear and transparent.
A man in a white coat appeared in Shi Jianxia's sight. Even when he was in a situation where there was no way out, the doctor still did not forget to wear his silver mask and the ring inlaid with star core fragments.
He had clearly taken over Number Two's body, and now he was wearing Number Two's face. Even without the mask, no one knew what he really looked like.
Perhaps for a ghost like him who can take over other people's bodies and live in the world, this silver mask is his face, a symbol of his facing the outside world, rather than a cover to conceal his true appearance.
Shi Jianxia stared at him until he stopped and looked over.
The two people's eyes met in the air. They clearly didn't say anything, but it seemed like they said everything.
The doctor raised the corners of his lips and said gently, "Number seven."
His attitude made Shi Jianxia feel that he was not his enemy, but a good friend with whom he had known each other for many years.
But it was obvious that she and the Doctor couldn't have such a relationship. Between them, there was only a life-or-death struggle.
"How do you know I'm here?" The doctor stroked the emerald green diamond crystal on his index finger, not hiding his doubts at all.
Shi Jianxia was not prepared to explain it to him, "Why should I tell you?"
The positions of hunter and prey have been reversed. The doctor is now a trapped beast and a prisoner. No matter how hard he tries to maintain his composure, he cannot change his situation.
Her answer showed her attitude at the moment. The doctor's fingertips lightly touched the ring on his index finger and asked without emotion, "You want to kill me?"
Without waiting for Shi Jianxia to give an answer, he laughed meaningfully, "Can you kill me?"
Shi Jianxia wasn't fooled by his rhetoric and said bluntly, "If I can't kill you, why are you hiding? You have plenty of spare shells anyway, so if this one is gone, you can always get another one."
She paused here, pretending to be surprised and said, "Oh! I accidentally forgot. Your shell will either be captured or surrender voluntarily. You no longer have a shell to replace it."
During this period, Shi Jianxia made many reasonable speculations about the jade pendant.
First of all, after the Jade Card gives the prompt of "out of service area", the doctor can no longer use it to take the life of the controlled person. This is also the reason why Bai Xiaojiu and others are safe and sound even though their Jade Cards have not been destroyed.
Secondly, the Jade Card and the controlled person need to appear in a certain range near the Doctor at the same time so that he can be reborn through the Jade Card.
Otherwise, he could have simply abandoned No. 2's severely injured body on Tianchen Star and been reborn across planets or even galaxies into the bodies of No. 10 and other Jade Card holders who were in an absolutely safe area at the time.
Furthermore, such a miraculous method as rebirth through borrowing a body should have a certain time limit when used again, just like the cubs' mimicry talent.
Among the several Jade Card holders who went to Tianchen Star with the Doctor at that time, No. 2's body had already been used by him, No. 13 was captured, and she broke free from the control of the Jade Card, so No. 4 became his only spare shell.
Number Four hasn't died yet. Besides the fact that the Doctor was reluctant to use up his few shells, it's probably because of the rebirth limit of the Jade Card that allowed him to escape.
However, the doctor probably didn't expect that Number Four, who had always been loyal to him, would take the initiative and take away his biggest bargaining chip to surrender to Shi Jianxia.
When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. As conceited as he is, he has reached a desperate situation.
The only uncertain factor is Number Three. Until now, Jian Xia still doesn’t know who Number Three is, but the doctor has been forced into such a situation, and Number Three has never shown up. Either he is dead, or he is hiding somewhere and watching the situation.
The doctor looked at the ostentatious smile on Shi Jianxia's face, and his false calmness finally disappeared. The line of his lips was pressed into a straight and tight arc, and his dark pupils were like a bottomless well, brewing a danger that no one knew about.
Suddenly, a terrifying energy pressure radiated outwards from him!
The first-level extraordinary ability users were hit hard, and they all vomited blood and fell to the ground. The second-level extraordinary ability users subconsciously released energy shields to resist the impact of this invisible force.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas responded, and a black and golden light suddenly lit up, and an invisible energy film covered everyone present except the doctor.
With just such simple protection, one of the space bracelets in the box given by Zhuang Mingyue was empty.
Lei Xin immediately shouted, "Those with abilities below the third level of transcendence must leave this area immediately!"
The fire breath gushed out and wrapped around the waists of the extraordinary first and second level ability users, quickly taking them out. Shi Jianxia was surrounded by a layer of red energy shield, helping her to withstand the energy impact released by the doctor!
A black energy tide gushed out, and the energy storm swept through every corner of the sky garden. The flower petals and green leaves were crushed into dust in an instant. The glass building could not withstand the energy that was madly piling up outwards, and it shattered with crackling and quickly turned into powder.
A pure black energy vortex suddenly appeared behind the doctor. The vortex rotated counterclockwise, and the surrounding space gradually distorted and deformed, with tiny gaps appearing. It was almost exactly the same as the high-level insect vortex that Shi Jianxia had seen before.
She held her breath, and in an instant a thousand thoughts flashed through her mind.
The Doctor could summon a worm vortex? Isn't that an ability only possessed by queens and high-level Zerg? Could it be that he wasn't human at all, but a Zerg lurking in the human world?
Countless doubts came pouring down on their heads. Even the knowledgeable Lei Xin and his companions opened their eyes wide at this sudden change, wondering if they had seen it wrong.
The black vortex grew bigger and bigger until it reached three meters high and two meters wide before it stopped.
Less than thirty meters away, Shi Jianxia could clearly feel the enormous energy contained in the black vortex and the oppressive feeling brought by it pulling on the space.
The doctor raised his head, and his originally normal eyes turned pure black. There was no white of the eyes or pupils, just pure black.
The silver mask on his face could not withstand the erosion of the energy storm, and it broke and weathered inch by inch, revealing the face of No. 2.
"Number Seven," the doctor spoke again, his voice overlapping and carrying the eerie timbre of the trembling insect wings. "You can't kill me."
He chuckled, "I'm everywhere."
Shi Jianxia grabbed the nine-tailed fox that was about to pounce and said carefully, "If you said that before I awakened my mimicry, I would definitely not be able to refute it."
"But now... don't you know that my mimicry is specifically designed to devour insect vortexes?"
The Doctor's laughter stopped.
Shi Jianxia continued to stab him in the heart, "If I'm not mistaken, you've been hiding and delaying action, trying to trick me into going to the Dream Technology headquarters because you're afraid that my mimicry will devour your insect vortex while I'm here, right?"
She hugged the nine-tailed fox tightly as it kicked its legs and tried to run away, and finally added: "Don't act like a big-tailed wolf when you are about to die. It's ridiculous."
The doctor couldn't stand it anymore. The dangerous dark tide condensed into a giant hand that covered the sky and the sun, and grabbed Shi Jianxia in anger.
Lei Xin acted decisively, and the gushing fire breath was like a blooming red lotus of hell, competing with the black giant hand!
Gray-brown dead vines sprang out from the roof of the duplex villa and attacked the doctor who was in the center of the storm.
The oval black energy shield opened, easily blocking the withered vine's sneak attack!
Another silver bullet the size of a finger came through the wind, and a black vortex the size of a fist immediately appeared beside the doctor, accurately swallowing the silver bullet that released an arc of lightning.
The last extraordinary strong man swung his battle axe and chopped down at the doctor from top to bottom!
The four of them attacked at the same time, and five completely different energies collided with each other. The weak and outnumbered doctor did not lose the upper hand at all despite being attacked from all sides!
Shi Jianxia was protected in Lei Xin's energy shield, and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" beside him was floating slightly, emitting a black and gold halo.
She observed the battle and realized that if the doctor was not led away from the black vortex, the cubs would not be able to get close to the vortex, let alone swallow it. He could continuously obtain energy from the vortex and would always be invincible!
The doctor is obviously aware of this, so it is naturally impossible for him to seek death by leaving the protection of the black vortex.
How can we take him down?
Wait for the strong men from the Holy Land to come?
It is not possible for Rexin and his three companions to hold out against the doctor, who possesses inexhaustible power, until that time.
When Shi Jianxia was frowning, the Classic of Mountains and Seas suddenly flew into the air. Golden diamond-shaped crystals quietly emerged from the pages, spinning around and releasing wisps of golden light.
The golden light dragged out a long energy afterimage, rushing towards the doctor who was fighting one against four.
The dangerous black tide touched the golden light, just like darkness fearing light, and retreated without hesitation. The black vortex hovering behind the doctor began to surge violently, making a thumping sound similar to that of a heartbeat.
The doctor suddenly looked over, his eyes, which were completely occupied by black, seemed to widen a little, staring straight at the golden diamond-shaped crystal floating above the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
He moved his lips as if to say something, but the energy storm formed by the interweaving of multiple forces completely tore his voice apart. Neither Shi Jianxia nor Lei Xin and others who were in the same battle state knew what he said.
The golden light spiraled and bound the huge black vortex, absorbing its power like a whale. The doctor felt as if he had been hit hard, his face turned pale, the veins on his forehead throbbed, and fine, dense sweat broke out in the blink of an eye.
He endured the severe pain spreading from the fountain of mental power and tried to retract the black vortex, but he lost his sense of the black vortex and could only watch it being gradually swallowed by the golden light.
"Classic of Mountains and Seas"!
The doctor fell to his knees in severe pain. Even when his spiritual power fountain was about to break, he still held on to the three words "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and repeated them over and over again.
He should have swallowed it up when it first awakened!
There is no medicine for regret in the world. The doctor's consciousness gradually became blurred. He used to enjoy the happiness of destroying other people's spiritual power springs, but now he personally experienced how his own spiritual power spring was destroyed. The remaining consciousness actually gave rise to a sense of ridiculousness.
The darkness gradually retreated from his pupils, and Shi Jianxia's figure appeared in his sight. She was still holding the nine-tailed fox. The little fox seemed unhappy. Its nine furry little tails drooped down, and the red spot on the tip of the tail was a little dull.
Shi Jianxia faced the doctor with a condescending attitude for the first time, and she had to admit that the resentment that had been suppressed in her heart was finally released at this moment, making her feel refreshed.
The black vortex became smaller and smaller, and the doctor who had just been making harsh remarks turned into a dying fish. He didn't even have the strength to struggle, and could only fall to the ground in a mess, waiting for death to come.
From the moment he summoned the black vortex, he should have known that he was making his last stand.
The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that he awakened with his own hands eventually sent him into the abyss of death.
Shi Jianxia was worried that he would feel uncomfortable tilting his head back, so he considerately half-knelt down and patiently asked, "Are you a Zerg that has taken over a human body, or a human that has merged with the Zerg's power?"
The doctor closed his eyes, not ready to answer her question.
Shi Jianxia knew how frustrating it was to be controlled by others. She snapped her fingers, and the golden light stopped swallowing the black vortex, and the power that was rapidly dissipating from the doctor's body was also relieved.
"Tell me, it must be hard to keep those secrets that can't be made public inside for so many years, right? After all, we've been friends for ten years. I don't mind being your trash can."
Shi Jianxia patiently persuaded him and made the secret of exploring the doctor sound extremely noble.
The vortex was not completely swallowed up, and the doctor's life was like being hung on a cliff by a steel wire. If Shi Jianxia wanted to, he could pull him up and let him live for a while longer. If Shi Jianxia didn't want to, he could cut the steel wire and let him fall off the cliff and die.
Life and death are placed on both ends of the scale, and the choice is just a matter of thought.
The doctor opened his eyes and suddenly asked, "Number Seven, have you seen your mother?"
The smile on Shi Jianxia's face froze, and his eyes darkened as he stared at the doctor.
The doctor seemed very satisfied with her change of expression. He moved his lips and said word by word, "You will never know who she is."
"If you knew, your death would be near." The doctor's pupils gradually blurred.
He slowly raised his hand, as if wanting to touch Shi Jianxia's cheek, but lost his strength halfway through, and dark red blood gushed out of his seven orifices.
Shi Jianxia opened his eyes wide, the power of [Immortal Gods] enveloped the doctor, the insect crystals in the space bracelet disappeared like wind and clouds, the tremendous power was injected into the doctor's spiritual power, but it had no repair effect.
Before the insect crystals were completely consumed, the doctor was completely dead. He maintained the posture of looking up at Shi Jianxia, and his black pupils were covered with a thin layer of shadow.
The black vortex slowly rotated counterclockwise, and the scene that was close at hand was reflected in the dark hole.
The doctor is dead.
