Chapter 475 Effects of Skills
Jiang Xia recalled the terrain they had come from and remembered that less than ten meters away there was a small hut where the park guards were located.
When I passed by there just now, there was no one in the room - the guard had blended into the crowd of onlookers and became one of them.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia took a few steps towards the cottage.
The next moment, countless Shikigami flew out from under his feet, passed through the crowd, gathered and piled up in the cabinet of the hut, and rose into a human shape.
Jinpei Matsuda was not very familiar with this process and was staring at the shikigami in confusion.
The mermaid watched for a moment, picked it up, swam to the cabinet in the hut, and threw the new ghost into the pile of clay, allowing Matsuda Jinpei and the puppet clay to merge into a human form.
After feeling that the puppet had taken shape, Jiang Xia touched Miyano Akemi's head and left the real body next to the police.
Then the consciousness left and possessed a brand new puppet.
…
One second later, in the guard hut.
The cabinet door was gently pushed open from the inside.
A figure jumped out lightly and landed silently. The movement was smooth and without any sluggishness.
There are no mirrors in this room.
Jiang Xia barely shone a light on the dark TV screen and found that the puppet did look like a normal human being, with no major problems. Then he pushed the door open and walked out.
He left the hut, walked to the canal, blended into the crowd, and stopped at the edge of the border between citizens and police.
——The skills of the ghosts are not only varied, but also the objects and methods of use are different.
Matsuda Jinpei's skill of fine-tuning the explosion time is very similar to the extended form of mermaid's underwater breathing - it must be used with the puppet turned on to accurately control the timing and make it take effect without any error.
In addition, the distance of the fixed-point explosion is also limited, and it must be within the visual range of ten meters... Although there are many shortcomings, compared with the reappearance of the death of Mist Tengu, the practicality is still acceptable. After all, with the increase of energy cores and shikigami, the speed of condensing puppets and the autonomy of puppets have been improved, and this limitation is not too serious.
As he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia couldn't help but glance at Mist Tengu.
Mist Tengu noticed his master's gaze and immediately came closer, looking back at him honestly, ready to receive the task.
Jiang Xia touched its head nonchalantly, pretending that he had not thought about anything.
After playing with the ghost, he raised his head and continued to look into the crowd, his eyes fixed on the arsonist who was holding hostages.
…
At this moment, the arsonist's heartbeat was extremely violent. He could not help but tremble slightly as he pointed the knife at the hostage, and cut several bloody wounds on the hostage's neck.
——About escaping, he suddenly had a bold idea:
There were police officers all around him, and at first glance, it seemed that his escape route had been blocked by the police.
But in fact, there was a canal behind him. As long as he could escape along the river before the police boat arrived, he would still have a chance to escape successfully.
However, when swimming, it is impossible to take care of the hostages. Moreover, it is difficult to move in the water, and the river flow is not fast. If he throws the hostages and jumps into the river, the police can easily catch him.
So, if you want to leave, you have to create chaos.
The chaos was so severe that the police had no time to take care of him...
Thinking of this, a clear and bold plan gradually emerged in the arsonist's mind, and a cruel and complacent smile slowly emerged at the corner of his mouth, which was hidden by his collar.
- Just throw the bomb in the bag like a grenade at the police and those people who are just watching the fun...
Do it when you think of it.
The arsonist's plan quickly became detailed in his mind.
The bomb in his hand has a delayed fuse, from pulling it to exploding, there is a three-second buffer. This time seems short, but in fact it can do a lot of things - especially for those well-trained police officers.
Therefore, you can't throw it away immediately after pulling the fuse, otherwise it will only give the well-trained police a chance to deal with the bomb. Stay calm, don't rush, wait a moment and count to two seconds...
The arsonist took a deep breath and secretly pulled the fuse while taking the bomb out of his bag.
Sparks flashed, and the time-delay fuse burned slowly. The arsonist held the bomb, and almost felt as if sparks were running along his skin. His mind instantly tensed to the extreme, his heart rate soared to the peak, nervous but calm, counting silently:
1……
“Pah.”
"boom--"
Suddenly, a crisp snap of fingers was heard among the crowd.
Almost at the same time, flames exploded, and a violent heat wave swept through, blinding everyone for a moment.
A second later, a belated scream was heard from the shore.
Jiang Xia pushed the sunglasses on the puppet's nose and stood silently in the crowd. He looked at the dazzling fire and the flying debris by the river, and some "common sense" related to psychics flashed through his mind for no reason.
…
“For ordinary ants, death is the end. But in the eyes of psychics, death can also be the beginning of everything—whether it is oneself or others.”
…
"Most people can't become useful things after they die. But psychics are very special after all. If they kill people personally... In addition to ghosts and shikigami, they may also kill 'monsters'."
…
“…Of course it’s because I’m lucky.
"...Well, the probability is not that high - um... one in a hundred thousand, probably. To put it in a more vivid way, it's like 'randomly rolling a number from 1-100,000, and rolling 64,541'."
"… Ridiculous. If someone can really get it right in one try, that person must be the one with destiny. Aren't novels like that popular among you? Both the extremely unlucky and the extremely lucky can be the protagonists."
…
One in a hundred thousand... Jiang Xia thought and pulled the leg of his sunglasses.
He was still young at the time, and he just followed what others taught him, and was too easy to be deceived. Now think about it, the so-called "one in a hundred thousand probability" may just be someone's occasional attempt, or even a guess. The number and quality of samples actually have a great impact on the so-called "probability" that is finally obtained.
The exact probability of a monster appearing should still have no answer, and no psychic would try to sort it out - that would require countless lives, killing monsters more than once, and being able to escape the death penalty and pursuit... This kind of thing can only be like "experiencing the physical sensation of an atomic bomb explosion at zero distance" - the answer may exist, but it can never be recorded and circulated.
Of course, Jiang Xia didn't want to be such a ruthless practitioner - living people can generate safe murderous aura and safe ghosts, and most people are very interesting, one more interesting than the other. To Jiang Xia, a group of living people is much cuter than a pile of corpses that he had killed himself and could give birth to monsters at any time.
As for now...
