I am in a world where time stands still

Chapter 231 Secret Puzzle Resonance
A wide range of space fluctuations passed by, and the range was still again.

Xiao Fan took a step forward and inspected the largest static world.

This is the first time Xiao Fan uses the newly upgraded lv15 time stop skill.

When Xizhe crashed into the Xingjian Industrial Building, it created a huge hole on the side of the building.

Numerous fragments of glass exterior walls also fell to the ground and onto the streets of the bustling downtown area.

At this moment, people around the downtown area have already attracted onlookers. At the same time, some people have reported what they saw to the police. It can be said that many people are staring at them at this moment.

But looking back, many people still don't know what happened, let alone the fierce confrontation that took place inside the building.

Xiao Fan's lv15 is time-stationary, which can include all within a 40-meter radius into the time-stationary barrier, so it has already been able to include the entire first floor of the Xingjian Industrial Building into the barrier.

But observing from the outside, it is impossible to notice that its interior has become a static world.

This is precisely because of Xiao Fan's newly upgraded "Protective Color" skill.

Outside third parties will not be able to observe the static state of time inside the enchantment, and naturally they will not be able to interrupt the static state of time.

Xiao Fan took two steps again, and finally broke away from the siege of multiple ball lightnings.

But so many spinning ball lightnings also stopped spinning at the moment when time stood still.

Xiao Fan didn't dare to be negligent, although he had as much as 20 seconds of time stillness, but in the current state, he didn't know what unexpected accident would happen.

After all, this situation has happened many times.

He stepped forward quickly, trying to push Xizhe away.

However, at this moment, Xiao Fan didn't see that the ball lightning behind him resumed their silent spins one after another!

They seemed to remember who their previous target was, and they turned their directions one after another, and when they got together, they rushed towards Xiao Fan's back together!

However, at this moment, Xiao Fan didn't notice what was behind him at all.

boom!
The two ball lightnings merged into one, and a violent electric current shot out to Xiao Fan's back.

Xiao Fan suffered a violent blow, and it was a sudden attack that he didn't notice, and he fell to the ground.

But the strange thing is that the barrier of time stagnation has not disappeared.

puff!
Xiao Fan spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood spread into a red cloud and soon stopped in the enchanted space.

But only three seconds later, a footstep sounded not far in front of Xiao Fan.

Step by step, he walked towards Xiao Fan who was lying on the ground.

Then, there was another one.

There were two people in total, no, three people, they actually walked in front of Xiao Fan.

Shaking his body, Xiao Fan raised his head and saw a familiar figure.

Xi Zhe...

And a man and a woman behind him.

Xiao Fan didn't know them.

He also would not know that this is the person who successively broke his time stop barrier.

Members of the first generation of AI-enhanced compound people, Leng Tong and Qi Lu.

Not so long ago, the AI-enhanced composite humans of the various existing factions had all merged into one.

Although this is not the wish of all AI-enhanced composite humans.

Especially for the new generation of AI-enhanced compound humans, although they are completely loyal to the first generation, this does not mean that they are willing to become a unified collective.

After all, in the later stage, the routes of AI-enhanced compound humans of different factions will be farther apart.

However, after all, the will of the first-generation AI to strengthen the composite human is irresistible.

A new generation of AI-enhanced composite humans, whether they want to or not, will eventually accept this outcome.

Either it is resources, which is naturally the best; or it is forced, because they did not expect that no matter how many generations they develop, they cannot avoid the traces left by the first generation on them.

And this indelible trace will eventually become the Achilles heel for them to obey the orders of the first generation at some point.

It was by these methods that Xi Zhe finally unified the AI-enhanced composite humans No. 2 to No. 5 after successfully attracting Leng Tong and Qi Lu.

Of course, the No. 1 representative of Lao Gao has always been the only one, so Xizhe naturally didn't need to recruit.

……

Soon, Xi Zhe took Leng Tong and Qi Lu to stand in front of Xiao Fan who was lying on the ground in pain.

A burst of space fluctuations flowed through, and the 20 seconds ended, and Xiao Fan's time still barrier disappeared.

Xi Zhe looked at Xiao Fan gloatingly, "Sure enough, you are the one who killed multiple No. 2 and No. 4. I guessed right, you really have the method of freezing time in a large area I really can't underestimate you..."

Leng Tong glanced at Qilu, and joked: "Hey, old guy, you saw that his time stop barrier is wider than yours, what do you say?"

"Cut, how is it possible?!" Qi Lu rolled his eyes and said, "Who knows what my real time-stopping strength is? Leng Tong, even I don't know, but you still know. Why don't you give it a try?" How long will it take to break through my frozen time barrier?"

"Enough, now is not the time!" Xi Zhe stopped the two people behind him.

After he finished speaking, the two people behind him really shut up.

The three of them are the first-generation AI-enhanced composite humans side by side, and at this moment, Xi Zhe has become a special person on a high level.

Leng Tong and Qi Lu both understood that it was impossible for them to surpass Xi Zhe.

"Xiao Fan, you seem to have something that should belong to us." Xi Zhe asked Xiao Fan firmly, "How about it, give it to us quickly."

"Something... what?" Xiao Fan looked at him inexplicably.

Xiao Fan didn't think about when he would have anything to do with these AI-enhanced compound humans.

"Let me make it clear! There are three copies of the password puzzle belonging to our AI-enhanced compound man! I have one here, and you should also have one there!"

Xiao Fan immediately remembered the colored stones he gave to Li Ruoying.

Lao Gao once told him that the stone is the secret puzzle of the AI-enhanced compound human, and it is extremely important to them.

Xiao Fan secretly sighed, he didn't expect that he handled the colored stone so low-key, but these people would find it out?

Xi Zhe thought that Xiao Fan was planning something, snorted, raised his foot and stepped on Xiao Fan's shoulder, "It's okay, I'll give you some more hints, Gao Fan! Gao Fan has a password puzzle, and you can overcome it together The alien civilization was destroyed, and Lao Gao disappeared. But he will definitely not let the password puzzle disappear together! Xiao Fan, Gao Fan’s password puzzle must be in your hands, right? "

Xiao Fan suddenly froze for a moment.

It turned out to be Lao Gao's?
Old Gao's secret puzzle?
So, not the colored stone.

They didn't even know that the colorful stone was also a secret puzzle.

Or maybe they don't actually know that I got the colored stone.

Xiao Fan quickly thought secretly, and felt that this was probably the case.

However, Lao Gao himself seems to have never heard of the secret jigsaw puzzle.

"Hmph! It's dishonest, you're already like this, do you still have any illusions that you can escape?" Xizhe shook his head a little unhappy, "It's better to hand over what we want earlier."

Xiao Fan chuckled, endured the pain, and said slowly: "Old Gao didn't mention any secret puzzle pieces on him. Haha, I am, maybe he knew that you would come to me to snatch them, so he simply took them away. Maybe, hahaha..."

"Fart! He is number 1, he would never be so stupid! This is related to the future of all AI-enhanced compound humans!" Xi Zhe was a little anxious.

"Hmph, Lao Gao's position is much higher than yours." Xiao Fan glanced at Xi Zhe contemptuously, "You? What date did you just say you were here? But it doesn't matter, anyway, you don't It may reach the height of the old high."

There was a murderous look in Xi Zhe's eyes. Seeing that Xiao Fan had no sense of cooperation, Xi Zhe had already lost his patience.

He raised his right hand and grabbed it suddenly, the ball lightning that had been suppressed just now suddenly disintegrated, expanded, and exploded again.

Several ball lightnings suddenly occupied the space in the conference room, floating in the air.

Xi Zhe stared at Xiao Fan and said, "In that case, I'll let you have a good taste of the secret puzzle first, so I'm not afraid you won't remember it!"

boom!
Violent electric arcs swam between several ball lightnings, drawing out a frightening white light.

Xizhe stared at Xiao Fan who was still unable to stand up with terrifying eyes, and waved his hand violently.

boom!
A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm came out of nowhere, and struck Xiao Fan's body straight.

White light shone in the conference room.

what……

There was a miserable exclamation.

Xiao Fan looked up in shock and found Zhang Ruirui standing in front of him.

"Zhang Ruirui, why are you here?"

Xiao Fan stretched his arms nervously, holding Zhang Ruirui in his arms.

However, Zhang Ruirui seemed to have been struck by lightning and was seriously injured. At this moment, her face was pale and her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, appearing to be in great pain.

"I..." Zhang Ruirui reluctantly said, "You came to help me because of our company. I can't let you die here."

"Zhang Ruirui..." Xiao Fan didn't care what she said, his eyes quickly searched Zhang Ruirui's body to see if she was seriously injured.

But it was very strange that Xiao Fan didn't find any frightening wounds after looking around.

Looking at Zhang Ruirui's appearance, it seems that the injury was not as serious as he imagined.

how come……

Not too possible……

Xiao Fan was confused.

At this moment, Xiao Fan suddenly felt something vibrating in his pocket.

He subconsciously tried to touch it, but when he lowered his head, he found that this thing flew out of his pocket!
It turned out to be a gray-black blade!
The gray-black blade from Lao Gao!
Xiao Fan suddenly realized something.

Could it be that all the password puzzles they said about Lao Gao turned out to be this irregular gray-black blade?

At this moment, as if the blade was suddenly sensed or impacted by something, it suddenly accelerated and flew to the top of Xiao Fan's head and suspended.

Its position was right between Xiao Fan, Zhang Ruirui and Ball Lightning, and it seemed to be protecting them.

At this time, Xizhe and the others also looked at the object that flew out suddenly in amazement.

"What is this?" Xizhe and the others took a step back subconsciously, staring at the gray-black blade cautiously.

woo woo woo woo...

A strange sound suddenly sounded, Xiao Fan took a closer look, and found that the sound came from the gray-black blade.

woo woo woo woo...

The beep is louder!

Only then did Xiao Fan realize that not only the gray-black blade, but also the ball lightning was also making a sound.

Whoops!

The gray-black blade suddenly accelerated and flew around Zhang Ruirui, touching her hair lightly.

Huh?
Xiao Fan looked at the gray and black blade even more strangely. He didn't understand why the blade seemed to pay special attention to Zhang Ruirui?

At this time, he found red marks on the back of the blade, and along the flight path of the blade, he also found a wound on Zhang Ruirui's back that was continuously oozing blood.

So, what was stained on the blade was actually Zhang Ruirui's blood?

……

Rongcheng, more than 1000 kilometers away, is the headquarters of Kepler Investment Group.

Li Ruoying was sitting in her sister Li Ruolan's office, but they stopped talking.

At this moment, Li Ruoying felt that the piece of pure white jade on her chest was vibrating slightly and making a sound.

She carefully picked up the jade stone she was carrying on her chest, which was what Xiao Fan gave him not long ago, it was originally the secret puzzle of the colorful stone!
Li Ruolan asked strangely: "What is this, you have been carrying it with you recently, what's wrong with it now?"

Li Ruoying looked down at the jade for a long time, and then her eyes lit up, as if she suddenly thought of something, her eyes looked through the window to the north.

"Xiao Fan..."

Li Ruoying had an inexplicable guess in her heart, but she didn't know if it was because she was thinking wildly.

……

Inside the Xingjian Industrial Building, Xizhe suddenly thought of something.

"Could it be..." Xi Zhe subconsciously took a step forward.

"It is said that after three cryptographic puzzles appear at the same time, quantum entanglement will be generated at a distance when at least two cryptographic puzzles are close..."

Xi Zhe looked at Leng Tong and Qi Lu with some doubts and said.

The others were also dumbfounded, waiting for Xizhe to continue.

Xi Zhe turned around abruptly, ecstasy flashed across his face.

The grotesque gray-black blade had been displayed in front of his eyes, and there was no doubt that it must be something they had been looking for.

He rushed forward impatiently and reached out to grab it.

However, at a distance of only half a meter from the gray-black blade, it was as if hitting a wall and could no longer get closer.

Ok?
Xizhe frowned tightly, naturally unwilling to give up.

He changed his strategy and opened his right hand again, trying to control his own ball lightning.

However, he was a little immobile? !

Xi Zhe looked at his own ball lightning in surprise, but felt that they seemed a little shaken and unwilling!
They flew according to Xizhe's instructions for a while, but they seemed to be attracted by the gray-black blade for a while, and flew back instead.

Xi Zhe soon became out of breath.

not good!Xi Zhe shouted, ball lightning is weird!
Needless to say, Leng Tong and Qi Lu also noticed it.

Not to mention grabbing the gray-black blade, the current situation looks like Xizhe is in danger!

He seems to be gradually losing control of the ball lightning.

Could it be that after this other code puzzle appeared, the original code puzzle wanted to get out of Xizhe's control? !
