Overturned Tower

It's like the slapstick between lovers, or the strength of patting the shoulder when old friends meet on the road-even the pain is not felt.

But the body of the person who was attacked suddenly froze, his body tightened as if he felt some fear in advance.

At this time, the inferior stretched out his hands.

His iconic pair of black leather gloves had been taken off at some point, revealing those slender and powerful hands.

That didn't look like the hand of someone who'd been in a lot of combat.

It doesn't even have calluses for holding weapons, but it's not thin, but has a healthy shape.

Judging from the appearance, it is more likely to be associated with a pianist.

But perhaps only the inferior knows how many lives have been indirectly taken by these hands so far.

--Snapped.

Follow the low fives lightly.

The person he attacked suddenly froze and fell down.The prosthesis on his body sparked and was paralyzed.

And those people who were limp on the ground suddenly trembled, and the already damaged prosthetic body further burst into cracks.

But even so... Someone has already got up again.

Coupled with the people coming in one after another, the inferiors frowned.

As long as these people don't draw out long-range weapons, they have no threat to the inferior.But it's inconvenient for the inferior ones to kill him... This will make these people push forward and keep coming to interfere with him.

They move very slowly.It can even be said to be leisurely...or in other words, walking slowly on purpose.

But the inferior ones can knock people down easily, but they can't knock them back and fly them away.They just use their bodies to pile up here, and the inferior ones can't go anywhere.

It is also impossible to push them away directly—after all, they are holding high-voltage electric batons in their hands.

It can even be said that if they rush forward directly, it will be difficult for the inferior ones to keep their hands... But it is also because of this that he is more aware that these people just want to hold him back.

If you keep fighting like this, there will be no end to it.

After all, his physical strength is not unlimited, and sooner or later his movements will start to become sluggish... One mistake, maybe he will really be caught.

However, he wasn't too worried.

Based on the experience of the inferiors, this is probably just a boring warm-up activity.Waiting for the warm-up entertainment before the real man behind the scenes is ready.

"—I say."

The iron mask on the child's face suddenly let out a muffled, voice-altered voice: "You really hate 'heroes', so you send that newcomer to carry out the mission, right?"

After the iron mask spoke, the zombie-like crowd that was approaching slowly stopped suddenly.

"Oh, that's not true."

The inferior responded coldly: "Although he is also a hero, that child is an 'unconscious hero'. He does not yearn for a hero, nor does he hate a hero. This state is the safest.

"I didn't expect that you could say such a thing..."

"I'm not completely convinced, after all, I can't rule out acting."

"so what?"

A dull, instrument-altered voice came from the iron mask: "So what are you going to do?"

"That is to say... I can come and play with you for a while. But it's best not to touch him yet."

The poor one snapped his fingers, making a crisp sound of knuckles.

There was a light blue gleam at the bottom of his pupils, which was a kind of luster similar to aquamarine: "Now that you have started communicating with me, shouldn't this boring farce come to an end?"

This was the third time he had fought against the leader of the "Silence of Ignorance".

The first time the other party kidnapped a little boy on the middle floor of the Xingfu Building; the second time he kidnapped a girl on the middle floor of the hospital.

That person is using these children to force the inferior to play vile "games" with him.

Those two times were about the same as now.

Inside that iron mask, there is a very sophisticated programmed bomb.

If you try to take off the iron mask directly, or make the child's height rise or fall by half a meter from the current level... the bomb will explode.

Because of the special psychic power of the inferior, if he uses his psychic power to attack others with all his strength, the mask will explode; and if he tries to take off the mask of any "follower", or ignore him and run away, the iron mask will explode. Masks will also be exploded by remote control.

The range of the explosion would not be too high - it would just kill the child.

This is the "forced exit penalty" provided by the opponent to the inferior.

But of course the inferior will not be willing.

The mask can only be taken off after the underdog completes the opponent's "game" according to the instructions...but it will still explode after the countdown ends.

The first game was "hide and seek".The inferior must silently knock down six people who are avoiding him in the happiness building within the specified range and without causing commotion, obtain a letter from them, and finally spell out a secret order.

This is not difficult for the inferior.He did it with ease, and the final answer was "SHABBY"...his name.

——Since then, the inferior has realized that the opponent is coming for him.

The second game is much more difficult than the first.

The game called "Bandit" requires the inferior to crouch in the elevator, wait for the elevator to be called away, and snatch the thing held by the first person to enter the elevator, and bring it to the girl— — Repeat this until the “five materials” are gathered.If the item is stolen or taken back, this time it will not be counted... continue to accumulate to five.

It seems that there is no difficulty... But in the hands of the five people, some are holding emergency medicines, some are holding medical records and documents, some are holding crutches, and... There is also a wife, Holding his child in his hand.

The underdogs at that time realized.

The purpose of the other party is to make him lower his bottom line step by step-to make the inferior gradually do more and more excessive things.

This kind of bad and playful behavior is more like being sought for personal revenge than "letting the symbol of the inferior be knocked down".Because the other party didn't even notify the reporter, and asked the inferior not to seek help from the executive department.

In this way, even if the mask really explodes...it actually has nothing to do with the inferior.

Because no one knows that this matter has anything to do with him.

—but the inferior will never allow himself to escape.

Even if he escaped, no one would know, and the inferior would never be willing to deceive himself like this.

In that case, what is the difference from those wastes?

The iron mask let out a sharp and strange smile, and a 15-minute countdown suddenly flashed on his forehead:

"The game this time is very simple, there are no complicated rules...or in other words, there are no rules."

"What do you mean?"

"15 minutes. The bomb will explode in 15 minutes, but I will also tell you directly... This bomb is driven by a matrix, the interface protocol is T-P-T, and a magnetic decoder is used for physical linking. As long as there is A psychic hacker willing to enter the mask has a chance of stopping the explosion.

"But until then, the 'workers' will be creeping forward, trying to attack the psychic hacker.

"And the bomb this time... will have a little more weight. At least it's okay to kill everyone on this floor. If this floor collapses... maybe the people above will die too."

The voice of the mask said lightly.

"...Are you going to blow up your own followers?"

The inferior man sullenly asked in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that they will choose to rebel after hearing this?"

"Then guess, why did I tell you the rules of the game now?"

Under the iron mask, there was a hearty and almost crazy laugh: "After entering the space where you are, they have suppressed their hearing to a thousand points according to the illegal prosthetic body and long-term chip I provided. One, make the body recover quickly. Although your psionic energy can still cause damage to the prosthetic body, it is no longer possible to permanently knock them down.

"Or there is another solution. That is to kill the child directly. The countdown to the bomb may stop, but the program will also collapse immediately.

"—This time the game is called Bird in a Cage.

"The moment the cage is opened, there is only freedom—or death.

"How would you choose?"

Chapter 45 As Bad As Me

Just a momentary pause.

The melodious minuet music playing in the corridor stopped abruptly.

"...Don't be afraid, I'm coming right now."

From the loudspeaker that was originally playing music, Delphinium's calm voice sounded slowly: "I have just called the spare floating car, and I can get on the car in one minute and 20 seconds. Entering through the window... 1 minutes, probably enough time."

"—You are not allowed to come!"

Real anger flickered in the eyes of the inferior: "It's absolutely too late, this is a conspiracy—"

But Delphinium interrupted him without hesitation: "I am the minister, I have the final say. I am the best psychic hacker in Happy Island, if I can't solve it, no one can solve it.

"We can't let it go, let innocent people sacrifice... even if there is only one person. Otherwise, wouldn't we really become the dogs of the company?"

But that's different-

The bad ones want to argue.

His will is very clear-this time the "veil of ignorance" specifically made the request.

It was a system that only the "psychic hacker" intrusion mode could unravel.

What are the intrusion characteristics of psionic hackers?

Being able to use psionic energy in the matrix... Another feature is that psionic hackers cannot exit immediately.

If it is not safe to exit, the soul will remain in the matrix and the body will become a vegetable.

It's definitely a trap - the bomb will probably only have a few seconds left in the end.

But this time the bomb was different from the previous two, and it was impossible to let it go.

If it is really impossible to disassemble, the inferior must kill the child instantly to prevent the bomb explosion from destroying the floor.

But in that case... not only did he kill an innocent person, but the damaged program would also leave Delphinium's soul inside and destroy it along with it.

—Can he gamble?

Trust delphiniums to do it all?

He does want to believe.

But what if... what if?

Even if he escapes with the delphinium through the window, the delphinium will become a vegetable and the bomb will explode; if he kills the child at the last moment, the bomb will not explode, but the delphinium will still become a vegetable, and he committed the crime of murder.

If he escapes by himself at this time, the bomb will explode and the floor will still collapse...

There seems to be only one option left.

If the child is killed before the delphinium arrives...

There will only be two victims.

The innocents he killed, and himself.

The inferior must never be judged, otherwise it would be a carnival of crimes... It is better to die without a burial and become "disappeared".

He can do it.

If the delphinium chip is used to explode the strongest psionic energy in the body, the sound waves can directly shake him into minced meat.Melting quietly into this world.

——It seems to be the best choice based on the number of victims alone.

"……if."

The inferior lowered his head and stared at the masked boy who was still shaking slightly—the boy seemed to realize something.

His voice was as hoarse as sandpaper: "If it's really a last resort..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

As soon as the bad guy started talking, delphinium guessed what the bad guy wanted to say, and she reprimanded and interrupted without hesitation: "Trust me, I'm the best psychic hacker... I can do it."

"This bastard is trying to make me miserable, that's why he betrayed me—"

"—So, he won't let you die here, there must be a solution to this bomb."

Delphinium's cold and quiet voice sounded methodically: "You have lost your composure, I order you to follow my command."

"……Yes."

"Listen, I won't be able to use the deck when I get in the car. I'll be disconnected for a while, but don't worry... I just sent Russell up to help you.
