I am in a world where time stands still

Chapter 234 Activation of Space Pendulum

The dazzling firelight illuminates half of the night sky, even overshadowing the melodic stage lights.

Thousands of people gathered at the scene witnessed the self-explosion of the man in black, and the scene suddenly got out of control.

Someone is screaming.

Some people even turned around and wanted to run, but the crowd was blocked on the third and outer floors, and they couldn't get out at all.

This resulted in shoving among the crowd, people falling, and chaos.

"Listen up!" Xi Zhe announced loudly again, "There are 199 people like him who can blow themselves up at any time, and now they can't even run away!"

With a big wave of his hand, he threw a sphere of bright white light high into the air.

Ball lightning!

The rotating ball lightning spins at high speed, and as the height rises, its volume also becomes larger.

While spinning, it throws out dazzling electric arcs like a goddess scattering flowers!

boom!
The ball lightning seemed to explode suddenly, sending down countless arcs.

These arcs are intertwined and intertwined, weaving into a dense web.

A large net fell from the sky in an instant, covering the entire Shuzhou University in it!

At this time, with the main playground as the center, the thousands of people gathered were horrified to find that their actions had slowed down, as if the slow motion button had been pressed by something.

No matter how hard people try, they find that even turning around and lifting their feet is as slow as a snail.

What’s even more frightening is that the slowdown is still accelerating.

Finally, after 1 minute, everyone could no longer move.

Their sight still remains, and everyone's senses are still working. In other words, they can see the stillness of everyone including themselves, and can feel that they are one of the people who cannot move.

But why exactly? !

Who is this person?

How could he do such a horrible thing?

The people he has been calling out to, those two people, Xiao Fan and Li Ruolan?
Has fate really fallen into their hands?

Many people's hearts have been filled with shock, doubt, and inconceivability.

boom!
The ball lightning surged again, and raindrops of electric arcs crashed down.

"what!!"

"Woooo..."

This time the electric arc randomly passed through the crowd in the main playground indiscriminately.

Although everyone was immobilized, 100 people were struck by the arc, and the powerful current made them faint and lost consciousness.

The people around them witnessed this tragic situation, and they all burst into horrified cries.

"You have seen it all! No one can escape!" Xizhe shouted loudly, speaking faster, seeming to have lost his patience, "Xiao Fan, Li Ruolan, tonight, the lives of these people are in the hands of the two of you. .Think carefully and make decisions carefully! As long as one person’s decision makes me dissatisfied, everyone here will die!”

Shuzhou University was shrouded in an electric arc that covered the sky and the sun. Under this arc, thousands of people were frozen.

The campus is eerily quiet, but everyone's heart is gradually filled with fear.

Xizhe waited for a minute, as if to give Xiao Fan and Li Ruolan a minute to think carefully.

At this moment, Xiao Fan was among the crowd, and his heart was like a storm.

First, he knew that he could still move.

For some reason, he wasn't frozen like the others.

However, to be on the safe side, he did not act rashly.

"Can't you all move?" he asked the friends around him.

The result was a surprise.

Li Ruoying whispered, "I seem to be able to move, but my movements are very slow."

Zhang Ruirui also whispered: "Me too..."

Xiao Fan winked at them in surprise, and said in a low voice, "Don't move around, or they will easily find out!"

"Where are the others? Li Ruolan, Zhong Ling, Qian Kangle, what about you?"

The eyes of several people have already given him the answer.

They can't move!

So, only Li Ruoying, Zhang Ruirui and I can move.

Why is that?
Xiao Fan was nervously thinking about the connection.

Finally, he seemed to think of something.

Could it be, the system? !
When there was an AI-enhanced compound human who used time stasis before, it couldn't work for me.

Could it be the same reason, now I won't be frozen.

Then, Li Ruoying and Zhang Ruirui, they... are also the secondary hosts of the system!
So, they can also move, but because they are secondary hosts, they are still affected by it and become sluggish?

It sure is!
However, the key issue now is that thousands of people from Shuzhou University have become hostages.

The other party made it very clear that both he and Li Ruolan must agree to the corresponding conditions, otherwise, the 199 AI-enhanced composite humans scattered in the crowd would explode themselves.

Everyone will die, this result is unbearable for Xiao Fan!
Even if Xiao Fan could not be affected, he had to find a way to save the lives of thousands of people.

What should I do?
Xiao Fan couldn't think of a good way for a while.

Xi Zhe shouted: "I'm sorry, the time is up, I haven't heard the initiative of the two of you to answer. In this case, I can only call you two out and ask alone."

He clasped his palm in the air, and the ball lightning exploded again.

But this time, it only spewed two arcs outward.

This electric arc flies in the air like a dragon, and it flies over Shuzhou University in an arc.

After flying around for several times, the two arcs seemed to have finally found their target, and rushed towards Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was very surprised, he didn't know what made him exposed.

However, in an instant, he and Li Ruolan left their feet off the ground, as if they were grabbed by an invisible force, they flew up into the air, and finally hovered in front of Xizhe.

Xi Zhe stared like a devil, and said with a smile: "Xiao Fan, Li Ruolan, what should I say to make you understand that you have no choice? Tsk tsk, it's really hard..."

Xiao Fan looked at Li Ruolan worriedly, but saw that although she had tears in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Only when she found her gaze, did she turn her head to look at Xiao Fan.

"I'm not afraid!" Li Ruolan actually whispered to him, "I'll do whatever you want!"

Xiao Fan's heart shook, and for some reason, he felt a strong pain.

Looking down, countless people were frozen in place, unable to move.

But their faces were full of shock and fear.

Xiao Fan stared at Xi Zhe and asked, "If I promise you, what will you do after you get the password puzzle?"

Xi Zhe laughed, "Nonsense, since you know what a password puzzle is, you shouldn't ask this question. You know how important a password puzzle is to us!"

Xiao Fan shook his head, "The answer is wrong..."

"Huh?" Xi Zhe frowned.

"Aren't you so eager to advance the technological leap forward to gain an overwhelming advantage over ordinary humans and replace them?" Xiao Fan said, "If we agree to you now, wouldn't we be harming the entire human race? Now, you leave Our options are to let these thousands of people die now, or let all mankind die in the near future."

Xiao Fan stared at him, "If you mean, how would you choose?"

Xizhe was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Xiao Fan to ask him such a question.

But he immediately understood that Xiao Fanming decided to fight him to the end today!

After all, to him, both options are dead options, both are unacceptable!
"Haggling?! You are not qualified!" Furious, Xi Zhe raised his hand to the air and grabbed it fiercely.

boom!
The ball lightning surged again!
Countless bowl-thick lightning bolts fell from the sky, randomly hitting hundreds of people on the ground.

This time the lightning was extremely fierce, and all the people who were hit were directly photographed to the ground, fainted on the spot, and blood flowed into rivers on the ground!
"Zhong Ling!!"

Xiao Fan suddenly heard Zhang Ruirui's voice.

He followed the sound abruptly, only to see that Zhong Ling had fallen into a pool of blood.

She was struck by lightning too!

"You!" Xiao Fan was furious, clenched his fists, wishing he could rush up to fight Xi Zhe now!
However, he was still held hostage in mid-air by an invisible force. Although he could still move his hands and feet, he had nowhere to apply force and could not move forward for a moment.

"Huh? Why, do you feel distressed?" Xi Zhe grinned, "This is just the beginning, I can make the people you care about die one by one!"

"Why bother..." Xiao Fan said, "Don't you just want Lao Gao's password puzzle? Let me tell you the truth, the password puzzle is not on me. But the password puzzle is on someone among the thousands of people today body. If you kill us all, you won’t get the password puzzle.”

Xi Zhe paused for five seconds, and said word by word: "You still don't understand the password puzzle, you should know that the password puzzle will send a summons to our AI-enhanced composite man, and if this summon does not exist, there is only one Possibly, it is temporarily dormant in someone's grasp. But as long as that person dies, this dormancy will end, and we will hear the call of the code puzzle again!"

"You!" Xiao Fan was shocked, he had a premonition of a very bad result.

However, it seems too late to remedy.

Seeing Xiao Fan's worry, Xizhe laughed and said, "You've thought about it too. It really doesn't need to be so troublesome. Since you have already told me that the password puzzle is on someone among these thousands of people, Then, let's use the most direct method. As long as you are all dead, the password puzzle will naturally return to our control!"

"Xiao Fan, you can't save anyone. These thousands of people, or the entire human race..." Xizhe said, "I gave you a chance, but unfortunately..."

Xiao Fan shouted: "Stop!"

……

Suddenly, among the crowd below, individual people were lit up one by one.

They were all dressed in black without exception, but at this moment their bodies began to emit red light, which gradually turned into golden light, until they reached bright white light.

The people around opened their eyes wide in horror.

They want to escape.

They knew that this must be the 199 AI-enhanced compound humans who were about to explode!
However, no one can run.

They were all frozen in place motionless, unable to take a step forward!

"Hahahaha..." Xi Zhe's laughter was like a call from hell, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die! But don't be too sad, before long, everyone will go to be buried with you! Hahahaha..."

On the playground of Shuzhou University, more than 100 bright spots are particularly conspicuous, complementing each other with the power grid shrouded in the sky.

If it weren't for death, this must be a beautiful scenery!

But now, this landscape has become the last sight before death.

Xiao Fan was so angry that he trembled all over.

He subconsciously wants to use time to freeze, but he finds it futile.

Simply thinking about it, he knows that his skill has a radius of 20 meters and a duration of 20 seconds.

But now, the entire playground of Shuzhou University has gone far beyond this range.

And the power grid covering the entire Shuzhou University has a wider scope.

Thousands of people were covered by the power grid, distributed throughout the campus, the scope of Xiao Fan's skills is simply not worth mentioning!
And even if you don't consider the scope of action, how can you resolve the current crisis?
The other party was obviously ready to kill thousands of people on the playground.

Even if your own time is still, do you have to keep using skills all the time?

This is only a temporary delay, but it cannot solve the crisis!

Just when Xiao Fan was anxious, he suddenly found that Zhong Ling's body was also emitting light.

He looked at Zhong Ling doubtfully, but found that the light on Zhong Ling was different, it was a light blue fluorescence.

Gradually, a light spot flew out from her waist, and it turned out that the light blue fluorescence was emitted from this light spot.

That is……

Xiao Fan suddenly remembered - space pendulum!
When the silver water drop representing the alien civilization left at the end, it mentioned that it gave Zhong Ling the crystal stone called "Space Pendulum", which is an item with the super power of space transmission.

However, at the time the silver drop did not explain how to use the item's super power.

But now, the space pendulum suddenly glowed brightly. Could it be that it was activated under certain special conditions.

So, space teleportation? !

A desperate method suddenly appeared in Xiao Fan's mind, which might resolve the current crisis!

But, can this method be implemented?
Xiao Fan has no idea.

【Ding!Special item detected - space pendulum activated, is it connected? 】

Xiao Fan: "!!"
