Chapter 152 Deliberately Avoiding the Strong
Finally, the group of people entered the house, but they were all tall and strong, and they were all crammed into one room, making it seem particularly crowded.
"What do you mean by the accumulated energy is used up?" Lou Su and Chu Xihen were standing close to each other. He even stretched out his hand to carefully protect the other person, as if he was afraid that his treasure would be contaminated by the dirty things around him.
The dirty thing was Xiao Yan who was standing next to Xie Ling.
"You should have noticed that when Xiao Chou disappeared, it was as if his battery had run out," Xie Ling said.
After Xiao Chou's slap shattered the [Small Inch of World] that Chu Xihen had created, his figure suddenly faded away, and it really looked like he had run out of power.
Chu Xihen also said: "It didn't use its full strength in that slap. It only used 50% of its strength at most."
"Five points of strength?" Ling Yao exclaimed in surprise: "Only five points of strength, and Brother Chu almost couldn't catch it. If it had used its full strength, it would have slapped the earth to the ground, right?"
"Although what this kid said is a bit exaggerated, I believe Xiao Chou has such ability." Xie Ling glanced at Ling Yao and said.
Ling Yao whispered: "Who is the kid?"
"Then Dr. Xie, please analyze why Xiao Chou suddenly attacked us. Were we implicated by this time thief?" Xiao Yan said, staring at Lou Su with a bad look, "Speaking of which, what did you do to make Xiao Chou hate you more than the passer Xi Hen?"
Although Xiao Yan's tone was very bad, Lou Su still answered seriously, "I don't know."
He really didn't know what he had done to make Xiao Chou hate him so much. If he hadn't run out of mental energy and couldn't enter the dungeon this time, they wouldn't have known that the time thief Xiao Chou was talking about was actually him.
"It's not because of him that I was implicated." Chu Xihen said.
Xiao Yan frowned, "Are you so anxious to speak for him?"
Chu Xihen asked Xie Ling, "While we are talking about business, can we please ask this troublemaker to get out?"
Xie Ling thought it made sense, so he turned his head and said to Xiao Yan, "Get out."
Xiao Yan immediately made a zipper-like motion to his mouth and said, "I won't talk anymore, okay? You guys chat and I'll listen!"
"Go on," Xie Ling said.
Chu Xihen looked up at Jin Hang and the other two standing nearby, "I think Xiao Chou suddenly attacked here because of you guys coming here."
"So it was us who implicated you?" Jin Hang asked.
There was no malicious intent in his question; he simply raised a question.
Xie Ling didn't understand why Chu Xihen said that, and looked forward to his next answer.
Chu Xihen first explained Gu Xingxie's conjecture about the formation of the copy, so that some people who were not aware of the situation could understand it.
Xie Ling nodded in agreement. "That's what I said. The little clown didn't have enough energy to launch another attack. It pulled the esper into the dungeon and relied on the souls of the dead to increase its strength. However, as the esper's proficiency in the dungeon increased, fewer and fewer people died in the dungeon. It has been holding back for so long that it can only do this once."
"Then why doesn't it hold back a little longer? It's so powerful. If it holds back once more, even Brother Chu won't be able to block it with one slap. Doesn't it mean it can kill whoever it wants?" After listening to Xie Ling's words, Ling Yao thought about it and felt that Xiao Chou's attack just now was a bit too hasty.
Ling Yao asked the questions that most of the people present were wondering, so no one else asked any more questions.
Chu Xihen took over the conversation, "It has the opportunity to take action at any time, but it is difficult to have a chance for high-level psychics from all over the world to gather together."
At a time when most people's supernatural power levels are still at level five or six, in this room of theirs, not counting Chu Xihen, who has passed the level, there are four level nine supernatural powers.
These people would become obstacles to Xiao Chou's acquisition of power if they were placed in any copy, so after Jin Hang and the others landed, it launched its first attack on the psychics in history.
"For Xiao Chou, this attack was a pleasant surprise if it hit. If it didn't hit, it was also a warning to us. It was telling us through its actions that it can attack us directly!" Every word of Chu Xihen was like a hammer, hitting everyone's heart.
When everyone was silent, Lou Su played with Chu Xihen's hand and said, "When I woke up this time, I felt that Xiao Chou seemed to be different from before, but I didn't think much about it. It was only when I saw it slap me that I realized that it suddenly had hands."
"That's right, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me, Brother Lou. It didn't have hands before, it only had a head." Ling Yao was surprised and asked, "Is it because it has hands that it can attack us?"
Xie Ling frowned and thought for a moment. "Look at it. Does it look like it's stuck somewhere? As its power increases, it will be able to break free."
"If its entire body comes out, won't it be able to run everywhere? Then our end of the world will quickly advance to destruction." Ling Yao said again.
Everyone else was thinking seriously, but he was the only one who kept asking questions.
Chu Xihen and Lou Su looked at each other and felt that what Xie Ling said about Xiao Chou seeming to be stuck somewhere made sense.
Then Lou Su thought of another detail, "When I woke up before, you were all still in the dungeon. Time was still, and only Xiao Chou and I could move. It felt like it and I were floating outside this world, in a different space from you."
Xie Ling was very interested in what he said, and then asked Lou Su a lot about his coma after his mental energy was exhausted.
Chu Xihen hadn't had the chance to discuss this matter in detail with Lou Su, as Xie Ling got there first. However, he didn't show any dissatisfaction and just listened quietly.
Xie Ling had clear thinking, and he could draw inferences from one instance. He was able to consider many things that they had overlooked. Chu Xihen gained a lot from his speech.
"Before the apocalypse, the Little Chou had conditions for selecting people to enter the dungeon. Not everyone who was in despair would be selected. It deliberately avoided people who were already strong before they gained superpowers." Xie Ling said and found a person to demonstrate on the spot, "For example, Jin Hang, before the apocalypse, he was the captain of the strongest special forces in our country. During the time when the dungeon appeared, he was in an extremely desperate state, but he did not enter the dungeon."
"I have been feeling desperate, but they didn't even pull me into the dungeon. It's really unfair." Ling Yao said.
Chu Xiqi glanced at him, "Are you trying to say that you were very strong before the end of the world?"
"That's not the case. I just wanted to say that I also meet the conditions to be pulled into the copy, so why didn't I go in?" Ling Yao never thought that he was strong. He couldn't survive before the apocalypse, and the same was true after the apocalypse. If he hadn't met Chu Xihen, he would have died in some corner.
"No." Chu Xihen defended Ling Yao: "Ling Yao is very strong. He showed signs of atavism when he was a child, but he didn't know it and didn't dare to accept this ability, so he was excluded everywhere. But if he was pulled into the dungeon, with the blessing of supernatural powers, his atavism ability would be further improved, and he would definitely become one of the best masters in the dungeon."
Ling Yao's face flushed when she heard this, and she looked for Chu Xihen to confirm with embarrassment: "Brother Chu, am I really that awesome?"
"Is this why we have so many test subjects but not a single one was pulled into the dungeon? Even you, brother, were tricked into entering the dungeon by Xu Jin's grandson?" Chu Xichi also asked.
