Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

After being thrown out by the captain, the man rolled twice on the ground and then immediately turned over. He was half-crouching in the alley. Reason told him that he must not act rashly in such a situation that was extremely unfavorable to him.

"..."

At this time, all he had left was a dagger. Facing the man who had defeated that special "Shen Ling" with just one blow two years ago, he didn't think he had any chance of winning.

However, he was still somewhat sure if he could just escape intact, and for this, he also bought a lot of time. According to the previous agreement, his colleagues should come to pick him up.

"Give up your resistance, or be dragged back by me. You still have a choice."

The captain said this while standing next to the drunk woman.

"I'm so sorry, I won't let you go."

The man shook his head, stood up and patted the indescribable residue on his body. It was obvious that he was unable to resist, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

"The time is almost here, and we will have a chance to meet again, Mr. "Zhi". "

"..."

The captain frowned. It seemed that his information had been discovered by these people a long time ago.

However, what concerns him more at this moment is the confidence that the other party exudes that he can escape unscathed. If he really had any means, he should have used them just now, but he did not dare to be so sure until now .

If his confidence does not come from himself, that means...

Just as the captain was thinking, a bullet flew into the alley, causing sparks to hit the wall above Jizi's head.

"Himeko!!"

The captain reacted immediately and blocked Jizi behind him. Then another bullet came, hitting the captain accurately in the chest.

"..."

I saw the captain standing there unscathed. The bullet briefly stayed in his chest and then turned into a shadow and disappeared from the place. Then it appeared again and fell weakly at his feet.

It can transfer all physical attacks that pose a threat to the holder into the "imaginary space" through space displacement, making them ineffective or reversing their trajectory. This is one of the special powers possessed by the "Second God's Key" one.

However, it is obvious that the opponent's target is not him at all, and the first bullet just now is the best evidence. The other party knew that he had the "God Key", so he changed his strategy and pointed the gun at Himeko, who was defenseless due to drunkenness, in order to hold him back.

"...!"

Sure enough, several more bullets flew into the air, all of them aimed at Ji Zi behind the captain. In order to protect Himeko, the captain raised his hand and waved it fiercely without hesitation, shouting: "Eleven Sword System, activate!" "

As soon as he finished speaking, 11 "floating sword blades" of different sizes and lengths were lined up in front of him accompanied by silver light. Following the command of the captain's brain, the 11 swords were quickly combined into an oversized sword shield, completely protecting the two of them. The bullets also caused some sparks on the sword shield and were bounced around.

The man behind them was not surprised at all when he saw this. He seized the opportunity and ran towards the alley and disappeared. The other party's shooting stopped soon after the man evacuated.

After realizing that the opponent had retreated, the captain couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He stood up and waved his hand, and the sword and shield disappeared from his eyes with the light.

"Huh...have you been tricked..."

After confirming that Jizi was fine, the captain quickly went to check on the child. It looked like a girl, and she was less than ten years old. After confirming that the child was not injured, the captain helped her remove the rope from her body. However, just as he was helping her remove the tape on her mouth, the captain's pupils suddenly dilated and his gaze was fixed on the back of the child's neck.

"Is this... a stigmata?"

A series of special scars formed by bright-colored grid-like veins appeared on the skin on the back of her neck, which also emitted a faint shimmer. The captain recognized at a glance that these were natural "stigma marks" that had not yet fully awakened. ”.

"Stigmata" are the legacy left by humans in the previous era during their confrontation with Honkai.

At the end of the pre-civilization era, human beings' technological level had evolved to the point where they could transcribe knowledge into genetic fragments and use genetic material as a carrier to pass it on.

Modern humans all have varying degrees of stigmatization gene fragments in their bodies. When the gene fragments reach a certain degree of completeness in an individual's body, that individual will reveal "stigma."

In addition, the "stigma" also records technology, knowledge and power that far exceeds modern science, and will be intuitively reflected in the host in the form of abilities that modern science cannot explain. It can be regarded as the inheritance of human genes. Part of it, but the information circuit contained in the "stigma" has special value.

The "stigma" may also have different characteristics and even different abilities. Through the stimulation of "Stigmata", some tissue structures in the holder's body will change, and the human body will also gain higher Houkai adaptability. Therefore, without exception, all "Stigmata" holders They are all endowed with excellent individual Honkai energy resistance.

After this characteristic of "Stigmata" was discovered by the Destiny Organization, Archbishop Otto of "Destiny" began to conduct a research project on "Artificial Stigmata".

"Artificial Stigmata" simulates the operation of Stigma to a certain extent. After being implanted into Valkyrie's body through later surgery, it can greatly improve their Honkai Energy resistance, but as a result, they must bear a huge physical burden. .

However, the "artificial stigmata" is just a fake after all. Humanity's existing technology is completely unable to analyze the internal structure of the "Stigmata", and can only make crude imitations based on the same pattern. Therefore, only the enhancement of Honkai Energy resistance has been retained, while other abilities have been extremely neglected. The big ones are weakened.
