Cannon Fodder Counterattack System (Part 9)

Jiang Mingyu was in a really bad mood now.

After saying "You can walk around here however you want", he ignored the three unexpected guests and walked towards the main house alone.

Xiao Jiang hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow him, leaving Shang Li and Cui Lan still standing there.

The pink-haired young man walking in front noticed the little tail tied behind him, but just pretended not to see it like before.

The two men at the back looked at each other. Shang Li was about to go back to the study to cover the time of Ye Bai's supernatural powers, but he suddenly sensed a faint fluctuation of supernatural powers in the air.

"Cui Lan!"

He suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately turned around and shouted as fast as he could: "Use your power to cut off this space!"

Without any hesitation, Cui Lan suddenly drew out his long sword.

However, the silver power that could cut everything into pieces was still half a step slower than the person who came.

The whole world suddenly became like a fish tank with water being stirred by a hand, and ripples began to appear in the void.

The ripples continued to expand and change, and everything in the world merged together, just like all the colors of paint on a paint palette were kneaded together by someone to become a dirty brown.

Even they themselves have become part of it.

Then, the paint mass that looked like mud began to separate bit by bit, gradually returning to its original state.

It was as if a "Nuwa" was shaping all of this and putting it back to its original position.

But this location is not the same as before.

The man in black, whose body was destroyed by Cui Lan, came back to life.

He grabbed Xiao Jiang and Jiang Mingyu with both hands and stopped in the air in a jumping posture.

The ghost behind the man in black had just gathered half of his body.

Shang Li's entire body from his back to his legs was covered with scattered data, as if he was wearing a wide, flowing bright red robe.

Cui Lan stood on one foot by the study window, holding the knife at his waist in his left hand and supporting the window frame with his right hand, as if he was about to exert force.

Everything returned to the state it was a few minutes ago.

Everyone was like a stone statue, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Even though three psychics were unable to escape, only one person was not affected.

[Host, I have released the control. 】

The system said.

"Um."

Xiao Jiang thanked the system briefly in his heart, then raised his arms and slid out of the coat that was held by the black clothes, and landed lightly on the ground.

Without the system's reminder, he quickly started running away.

However, before he took a few steps, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

He returned to where he came from.

Xiao Jiang pursed his lips and was about to continue, but a casual and lazy voice suddenly rang out from far away.

"Yeah, I found it."

Xiao Jiang turned his head warily and saw a young man slowly walking out of the building next to him.

Long Aotian was wearing a cool vest, pants and slippers even in the middle of winter. Like the green plants next to him, he seemed not to be bothered by the temperature at all.

He used his tongue and teeth to make a crisp "beep" sound in his mouth towards Xiao Jiang, "We've been playing for so long, it's time to go home."

"That guy surnamed Lu is looking for you very anxiously, please stop causing trouble for him."

After saying that, he couldn't help but complain to himself: "What am I doing to help the big boss catch the runaway little girl..."

Before he could finish his words, a bullet hit him accurately on the head.

Xiao Jiang decisively pulled out the pocket pistol that Jiang Mingyu had hidden inside his clothes, raised it and pulled the trigger.

The skill of the movements clearly showed that this was not the first time.

"I won't go back unless he comes in person."

Xiao Jiang's usually gentle and soft face sank.

However, the bullet did not penetrate the sloppy young man's head as expected.

He didn't even see what Long Aotian did before the bullet was caught between his fingers.

"The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed."

Long Aotian blew at the smoking bullet and smiled slightly.

The next second, he flashed in front of Xiao Jiang.

In less than two moves, the thin, pink-haired young man was pinned firmly to the grass.

"hiss……"

Xiao Jiang endured the dull pain of falling to the ground, raised his body twice, and found that every point of force he exerted was precisely held down by Long Aotian.

"Your shooting skills are pretty good. If I weren't a psychic, I would have collapsed by now."

Long Aotian whistled, "What a pity, I am a superpower."

Although he looked young, he acted like an elder who had lived for many years. He said earnestly, "You are an ordinary person without superpowers. Just live a peaceful life. There is no need to follow them."

"What good is there in living a life on the edge of a knife, with your life in danger every moment? Why bother?"

"Even if you come here and know what your target is going to do, what can you do? Help him fight?"

Xiao Jiang snorted twice and said, "I in this timeline can also participate..."

"The result is that he will die suddenly in two days."

Before he could finish his words, Long Aotian interrupted him, "Why, do you also want to have the same ending as him?"

Xiao Jiang didn't respond.

Of course, Long Aotian didn't expect this kid to give him any answer.

He reached out a hand, took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket, and made a call. The message traveled through time and successfully arrived at the "present" from the "past".

"Hi? Mr. Financial Sponsor, the mission has been completed, wait for the pick-up." Long Aotian said to Lu Yao on the other end of the phone.

After the call was hung up, Xiao Jiang suddenly spoke again, his tone was colder than ever before.

"Actually, I know you. You are the college student that Lu Yao keeps. He often calls you in the middle of the night."

His face was pressed to the ground, his eyes rolling, staring at the half-visible human figure, "So you are also a psychic, no wonder he cares about you so much."

"Hey, kid, don't say that!"

Long Aotian put the phone back and flicked Xiao Jiang's head with his middle finger. "I'm different from you gays. Stop tarnishing my innocence."

"Okay, I don't want to waste my time talking to a little sissy like you."

A pale golden light appeared in his hand. "Now go home peacefully...you?!!"

A blue light suddenly burst out from Xiao Jiang's body the moment his supernatural power was activated.

Long Aotian's pupils widened suddenly.

“Zheng——”

The strong supernatural power fluctuations caused the hand that was holding Xiao Jiang to be bounced away under the impact.

Even though the bounce distance was less than half a centimeter, the energy was completely unable to cause any harm to Long Aotian.

But just the moment when the limbs were separated was enough.

【Host, let's go! 】

The system opened the space-time barrier and disappeared into the fluorescent light with Xiao Jiang.

"Every piece of clothing I wear is men's clothing, not a sissy's!"

The young man's last angry words were blown away by the cold wind, and then his figure disappeared without a trace.

There is not even a trace of remaining breath, as if it had never been there.

“Tsk.”

Long Aotian immediately closed his eyes, and his vast consciousness quickly scanned every inch of this world.

However, in the end, nothing was gained, and Xiao Jiang had completely disappeared from this timeline.

"Fuck, what a mistake. You didn't tell me that he had superpowers, so I let my guard down."

Long Aotian turned around a few times, then stretched out his index finger and began pointing at the man with only half a body and the man who was stepping on the window.

"Fuck, you two are causing all the trouble. I thought he was brought here by you two crazy parents."

After cursing, he called again, "Hey, Xiao Lu, I accidentally let someone escape."

Before Lu Yao could respond, Long Aotian continued, "Bad news, he has already left the timeline I'm in."

"I can't do anything about other timelines that don't belong to me."

“… Yeah, I understand.”

Lu Yao hung up the phone.

In the basement, he sat in a chair and looked down at his notebook again.

The modified content has been returned to its original state.

According to the original development, Jiang Mingyu was quietly taken away by the men in black belonging to the hostile organization. He failed to save him in time and could only let him die in a bleak way like Shang Li.

When those two people found out, they would probably think that I was cruel and heartless for actively pushing Jiang Mingyu to death.

Lu Yao slowly closed his notebook and thought.

Whatever, it doesn’t matter. I didn’t leave a good impression on them anyway.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior.

Even if the past is saved, people existing in that abandoned timeline are destined to not have a complete future.

The only end they will face is the arrival of the main system, and everyone will die.

In the end, after all the hard work, not only did he not get a good ending in the past, but the cause and effect of the changes were so great that the world collapsed and he could not even grasp the present.

After returning from the sea, Long Aotian called him through time and space to check in with him.

"I embellished the ending a little bit."

Long Aotian said: "It was so tragic back then, but I still have some dignity to maintain."

"It's not important information anyway."

He responded at the time.

Thinking back to the present, Lu Yao put the notebook back into the secret compartment, then activated another mechanism, and a second similar secret compartment popped up.

Inside was the same two-finger-wide notebook, and even the cover was exactly the same as the previous one.

But the contents are completely different.

Then, he took out several props from the small cabinet next to the conference table, all of which were made by top-level craftsmen.

One can transfer supernatural energy to people without supernatural powers, which is equivalent to allowing them to temporarily gain a supernatural power without special abilities, and the other is an extremely rare time-space type.

Lu Yao held the props, stared down at the notebook spread out on the conference table, and slowly closed his eyes.

Both items are activated at the same time.

Soon, his shoulders and back slumped and he fell into the chair.

——

On the other side, Long Aotian snapped his fingers, releasing the time freeze for the two people, intending to move them back.

However, what he didn't expect was that the moment he recovered, Cui Lan's supernatural power suddenly erupted.

Without any warning, a silver light with a chilling wind cut off half of Long Aotian's raised arm.

Obviously, Cui Lan's thoughts were not affected by the time power.

He saw everything that just happened.

"Depend on!"

Long Aotian tightly covered his only remaining right arm and jumped back a step, "You started a fight from scratch?!"

Cui Lan did not respond, but just went forward with his sword in hand.

Long Aotian was rarely anxious in all these years.

He dodged the flashing silver light in the dark night while using his energy to try to recover from the damage.

But the empty forearm remained unchanged, as if he had never had this right hand since birth.

This guy cut off the concept of my right hand!

Long Aotian cursed his mother in his heart.

Shit, if all my energy wasn't left under the sea, I could only exert 30% of my strength now, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult.

He did not stop attacking Cui Lan, but the skills he released had no effect at all.

Since Cui Lan was well prepared, it was impossible for him to be easily defeated as he did just now.

The ability to cut everything can, of course, cut "everything".

This naturally includes the supernatural powers released by others.

Damn, if you can’t beat me, can’t you run away from me?

Long Aotian closed his eyes and was about to dissolve this body and return to the seabed rift, but he didn't expect that the energy pathway he had just connected was suddenly invaded.

Shang Li, who had been watching the fight from the sidelines, finally joined in with a subtle smile on his face.

"Oh, nice to see you again."

Shang Li raised his chin towards the grass beside him and said to Long Aotian in a gentle tone: "This is a great place to chat. Let's sit down and have a good chat. I'm sure you won't refuse."

Long Aotian: “…”

Why don't you connect the energy pathway for me before you say this?

He finally understood that this guy was taking the opportunity to take revenge on him.

After all, he had drained Cui Lan's energy from the cracks on the seabed, and weakened Shang Li to his weakest state before he dared to jump out with peace of mind.

They talk about peaceful talks and independent cooperation, but in reality they are not coercion but worse than coercion.

Cui Lan was sharpening his knife behind him. He quickly crossed his legs and sat down majestically on the prickly grass.

Seeing the young man's smooth movements, Cui Lan couldn't help but slightly raise his eyebrows.

After a few knife strikes cut off all contact with the surroundings, he cooperated with Shang Li to put away the knife.

"Do you two know each other?"

Cui Lan's tone was unfriendly.
