Chapter 554 Looking back on the emotions of the past (23)

The same is true for most other virtual environment enhancements. For example, some people are very ugly and terrifying in the eyes of others. Even if he is handsome in reality, he will become an ugly and terrifying person after he uncontrollably converts into a virtual environment projection. monster.

In essence, this is the power of the Void.

Because of the fluctuations caused by extreme emotions, part of the power of the virtual world overflowed on these projections.

If it was in the Void Realm, the strengthening might not be so bizarre, just like Ian himself, such a bewildered person is just an ordinary little ball in the Void Realm.

But it is precisely because the Avak Territory at this time is between the virtual world and the reality, that the strange existence of phantom is born.

"If I become a phantom, what will my phantom look like, and how strong should it be?"

Ian thought about this possibility, then smiled and shook his head: "That's it. The phantom with sanity is the strongest. A form like the Viscount Avak can not only use his strength and skills, but also fail. won't die."

"That's the full form of the psionic technology 'Phantom Army'."

At this moment, he deliberately moved a little to the outside.

Although it looks like he accidentally broke away from the protection of the patrolling knight squad in order to check the surrounding environment...

But in fact, both Hua An and Shuang Die hid behind Ian.

Mo Feng is still recording the changes in the virtual environment in Azure City. After all, she really has a mission, and she still needs this lady fairy to write the final investigation report of the investigation team.As we all know, the person in the lab who writes the report is nobody to bother.

In short, Ian is safe enough, both in reality and on the surface.

Safe enough, he can face the enemy's attack openly.

The people who controlled these phantoms and beasts obviously noticed Ian's slightly 'reckless' move, and he also guessed that it might be a trap—but at worst, they stepped in, and whether they succeeded or not, they would know the team's status. strength and execution.

Whoosh—accompanied by the slight sound of the wind, the Iron Claw Honey Badger and the two phantoms walked through the shadows among the buildings in Azure City. Their movements were silent, especially under the cover of all kinds of strange phantom sounds. It is impossible for the elite squad of patrolling knights to find out.

Their movements are extremely fast. If it is not someone who opened the perspective, it is only Tres, and they have to wait for the other party to attack before they can detect it.

Ian was their target. The 1.5-meter-tall giant honey badger waved its pair of alloy claws, leaped tens of meters, and swooped at the boy from behind.

Even the armor of the transport vehicle may not be able to stop this blow. Even if the air-wrapping armor is strong, the people inside will definitely suffer heavy injuries.

But Tres had already locked the opponent's position based on Ian's report. At the moment when the Iron Claw Honey Badger culled him, he also moved and swung his big sword to meet Ian. His second energy level, which was strong enough to block the Knights of the Viscount Avak alone, did not even fly the honey badger into the air.

"Something's wrong, this strength and hardness...is it a machine?!"

Tres's expression changed slightly. He had already seen the image of the strange beast in front of him. It was black and gray in body, and it was not much different from ordinary honey badgers except for its size. There was only cruel and ruthless bloodthirsty in a pair of small purple eyes. Light, but what is really strange are its arms.

In addition to the matte sharp alloy claws, the arms of this giant honey badger are also extraordinary.

Because Tres was fighting it with all its strength, the fur and flesh on the surface of Honey Badger's arms were torn by the knight's wind blade, but hidden under the outermost layer of flesh and blood was a layer of silver metal structure .

They were a pair of alchemy prosthetic limbs made of a special alloy, inlaid with crystal source material pipes to increase their strength. It was the strong material and huge strength of this peculiar alchemy arm that allowed this honey badger to be able to head-to-head with Trey. The claws and swords intersect.

If it wasn't Tres, but other members of the Patrol Cavaliers squad thought that their strength was about the same, and if they fought it head-on, they would definitely be crushed by one claw.

"Interesting, I remember that only those from the Spiritual Tool Church like to play prosthetic bodies? The Dragon Worship Cult also likes it..."

However, after the initial surprise, Tres began to suppress the beast with ease: "To be honest, when I get old, I probably like it too."

"But now my arms are a little bit stronger."

As for the fact that two black shadows flitted past him and the honey badger and rushed towards Ian, the knight wasn't worried at all.

Sure enough, the phantom of the man holding a carpenter's knife was too large, and was quickly suppressed by the firepower of the patrolling knight squad, unable to move forward for a while.

But it is solid and powerful, as if it will never fall—this proves that in the eyes of many people, the original body of this phantom is extremely tough, has never been defeated, and can even be said to be quite stalwart, A man worthy of admiration and gratitude.

Long-range attacks couldn't penetrate its defenses at all, and in the end it was the joint efforts of the five gun-wielding knights that stopped it in its tracks.

But the phantom of another woman turned into a gust of wind, passed by countless bullets, and continued to pounce on Ian, who seemed to have not reacted yet, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.

Then, the sharp thorns that turned into her hands pierced towards the 'unresponsive' boy like a rainstorm.

Ian responded in a 'hasty' manner, backed up a few steps, and 'just happened' to avoid most of the phantom woman's spiked attacks.

But even so, in the case of being raided, he still got an attack from the opponent on the shoulder.

Hum—the air-wrapping armor blocked the blow, but a small indentation appeared.

If it was the standard armor of an ordinary patrol knight, it would probably be pierced by it.

"Interesting, is this a sewing needle?"

Ian, who seemed to be unable to react in time, was analyzing and evaluating this ordinary woman in front of him, but she was extremely fast and had a rather tough body: "Her fingers have become needles for sewing, and her attack power is quite strong." Strong, without the blessing of source quality, I was able to almost pierce the air-wrapping armor."

The original body of this phantom woman should be a very gentle woman who is good at housework, as evidenced by the knitting needle on her finger, and her tough body can even ignore the shock wave of the alchemy cannon.

This should be the projection of her tenacious spirit in the virtual world. Many people think that she is very strong, so the projection is so tough.

But the real reason for Ian to deliberately act is just to observe the other party more, or because of the predictive vision.

This phantom has... a strong emotional boarding.

Enough to arouse the second ability of the precognitive horizon... the emotion of the ability of 'going back to the past'!
Ian's vision of prediction has evolved due to the knowledge of the South China Sea Great Labyrinth and the pre-epoch civilization. He can see "images of the past" from some emotional things and even people.

So far, Ian has not seen too many things with such conditions... On the contrary, there are many people, whether it is the pirate captain Andor, or the remains of his father in this life, or even in the South China Sea Labyrinth. The remains of the first elder and the hive body of the great elder both harbored such strong emotions.

So is this phantom.

The phantom was still attacking, and Ian was still retreating. He couldn't even draw out his sword. He could only block every puncture of the woman's phantom with his hands, and his fists and feet were obviously inferior to when he was holding a sharp blade.

But Ian is a quick learner.

Although he retreated step by step, each time he retreated, his steps became more and more steady, and he could even gradually block the piercing attacks of phantoms and ghosts, and launch a counterattack or two.

Even Mikhail, who has been watching by the side, felt a little surprised at this learning speed: [He was really not proficient in boxing at the beginning—that’s right, at this age, he knows both alchemy and inscriptions, and he is also good at swordsmanship already Very outrageous, but how many seconds?His unarmed parry has entered the room]

[In this world, how can there be people who learn so quickly? 】

And the person who controlled the phantom attack felt incredible at the moment.

They had thought that this raid would surely take out a key figure in the squad - in fact, they almost succeeded, they almost killed the leading maester of observation.

But now, things have taken a strange turn.

The phantom woman clawed out silently. Its five sharp fingers fluttered and stabbed towards Ian's eyes and the breathing holes of the armor. There was a sharp and cold light at the tip that could hurt the soul.

It caught a flaw in Ian, and at the price of being caught by Ian's wrist with the other hand, it was about to pierce the boy's eyes.

But at this moment, Frost Butterfly appeared beside Ian holding an ice shield.

The little goblin was like a floating shield, waiting for the right time. Although the phantom girl's attack shattered the ice shield, but the attack was stagnant—at this moment, Hua An appeared, and Miss Goblin was holding the ice shield tightly in her hand. The staff that my own parasol turned into, a lead gray source quality mixed with spiritual energy, wrapped around the phantom like a chain.

'Spiritual Imprisonment'.A restraining psionic skill often used by goblins, it has no disadvantages except that it takes a long time to store power. It is also the skill that Hua An showed when he caught the phantom sniper before.

This phantom was imprisoned in place, and all connections with it, whether from the virtual world or other connections from reality, were all interrupted.

——Damn it, the plan failed, and more information was exposed!
In an instant, the field of vision was completely black, and the controllers were startled and angry. They never thought that there would be a second-level elf acting together with the patrolling knight squad.

If they can still contact other people, they may be able to obtain information from Viscount Avak.

But now, everyone is divided and fighting on their own.

"very good."

And after losing all the last signals, the phantom controller heard Ian's voice that was so calm that it didn't look like he was being attacked: "In this way, we should be able to know what method the group of hiding mice used Manipulating the Phantom."
