Squid Who Loves Diving
Chapter 522: Awakening
Suddenly, everything went black before his eyes, truly black, and he could no longer see anything.
He had lost his sight!
Inside the jeep, Shang Jianyao, who was supposed to be asleep, had opened his eyes at some point. He took off the "Blindness Ring" from his left wrist and threw it into the center of the back row.
A multi-functional combat knife was stuck in his left arm, and blood was flowing out.
Before, Shang Jianyao took out this combat knife not to create a bloody smell, but to place it next to him, in a place where he would inevitably fall if he fell asleep.
Therefore, after Cao once again forced them to sleep and entered the "Real Dream," Shang Jianyao's softening body collided with the upright combat knife, and the position was exactly as he expected, hitting his left arm.
Under such stimulation, he instantly woke up.
Without any hesitation or thought, Shang Jianyao began the operation according to Plan 997.
This time, he started numbering from 996.
He first used the "Blindness Ring" to make Cao blind, then stripped the item, and restrained his own consciousness to prevent the other party from sensing it.
-- Between Awakened, once there is a "see," "hear," and other realistic contact, or each other applied the ability, resulting in contact, you can no longer hide their consciousness in the other's sense, but Shang Jianyao now affect the enemy vision using the "Blindness Ring" this item, as long as it can quickly let it leave himself, the corresponding contact will not "trace" to his body.
In this way, the duration of the "blindness" effect will definitely be greatly reduced, but it will not disappear immediately.
On the contrary, although Shang Jianyao had escaped the "Real Dream," the "auditory deprivation" effect still existed. Cao was still holding the "Six Senses Bead," so even if this Awakened at the "Mind Corridor" level added "visual deprivation," he could not make his consciousness disappear from Shang Jianyao's senses.
Immediately afterward, Shang Jianyao kicked the tactical backpack Long Yuehong placed in the middle of the back row to the opposite side. He then pulled open the door on the opposite side and rolled out, all in one smooth motion.
During this process, his injured left arm also pressed the switch of the small speaker.
In Cao's senses, a series of movements occurred inside the "Old Tune Group's" car. Sounds came from both car doors. Without his vision, he couldn't determine which side the inexplicably awakened target had gotten out of.
Trying to rely on hearing and memory to find the other party's consciousness again, he was briefly at a loss.
At this moment, the blood was still flowing from Shang Jianyao's left arm, and the light blue canvas shirt was stained red, giving off a strong bloody smell, but Cao had deprived himself of his sense of smell and couldn't smell it.
Even if he could smell it, he would convulse and vomit like an allergy, and could only retreat immediately.
The next second, the small speaker connected to the portable recording equipment began to play the song sewn together with the little rushing sound.
Of course, Shang Jianyao couldn't hear it. The main reason he turned on the small speaker was to create more sounds to cover up his own movements.
As for how much influence the rushing sound could have on the enemy, he didn't care at all.
Taking advantage of the echoing song, Shang Jianyao, with his injured left arm as an auxiliary, used his right hand as the main force to raise the "Death" individual combat rocket launcher.
At the same time, Cao, who could neither see nor smell and whose hearing was disturbed by the song, felt a burst of irritability in his heart. He only felt that the "Old Tune Group" was like an unkillable cockroach. They were obviously so weak, but he couldn't solve them quickly, and they would pop out from time to time to disgust him.
He calmed down and decided to ignore the person who woke up in the car. He would seize the time and solve the targets one by one with "Cardiac Arrest."
Cao believed that after seeing his companions die one after another, the person who woke up would definitely try to attack him or interfere. In that case, the two sides would have a connection, and he would no longer be able to hide his own consciousness.
Moreover, after a brief period of irritability, Cao also realized that he could quickly get rid of the state of not being able to see, so there was no need to be so anxious.
Even if the other party took this opportunity to attack him, he was not too worried, because when using the "Life Angel" necklace, his ability to "interfere with matter" could be unaffected and brought to the extreme.
After a slight adjustment, Cao once again sought to lock onto Aviya, the primary target.
He was not overwhelmed by anger; he knew what he should do now and what could be postponed.
At this time, Shang Jianyao's raised individual combat rocket launcher quietly moved towards him, standing on the top of the black car.
Then, Shang Jianyao continued to raise the rocket launcher, aimed at the third floor of Aviya's villa, aimed at an open window, and aimed at Konna and the old woman wearing a black beanie who were sleeping inside.
While chatting and waiting at Elder Myers's house, the "Old Tune Group" shared the previous attacks with Konna and told her that the secret organization was likely to take this opportunity to eliminate Aviya.
The two sides discussed how to resist "Forced Sleep" and "Real Dream." Konna said that she had an item that could passively sense fatal danger, allowing her to "sound the alarm" when she was attacked accordingly, thereby waking her up.
Now, Shang Jianyao was going to give her fatal danger.
As the rocket launcher locked onto Konna, as Shang Jianyao's finger hooked back, a necklace hanging on the woman's body suddenly turned red and became scorching hot.
Konna's eyes suddenly opened.
With the help of the senses brought by that item, Shang Jianyao's figure appeared in her mind, the individual combat rocket launcher ready to fire appeared, and the finger pressing back appeared.
"Fuck!" Konna blurted out in Dust Tongue, clear and round.
She knew that Shang Jianyao was using fatal danger to wake her up, but she didn't expect the other party to be so inconsiderate, choosing to use an individual combat rocket launcher instead of an assault rifle--Konna, who was sleeping, lacked the necessary protection, and even facing a pistol was very dangerous.
This could really kill people!
While swearing, Konna's light blue eyes had become like gems, full of luster.
Shang Jianyao, who was really preparing to launch a rocket, suddenly felt that the other party was his good friend, so friendly that he shouldn't use force against her and should get along well.
No, it's because she's a good friend that he had to use a rocket launcher to wake her up... Shang Jianyao quickly sorted out the logic and pulled the trigger.
Konna's gaze froze.
A "Cao Ni Ma" almost rushed out of her mouth.
If Jiang Baimian knew about this, she would definitely not be surprised why the parrot was full of swear words.
At this time, Cao, who had already locked onto Aviya, also turned his body and cast his "gaze" at the room where Konna and the "Virtual World" master were located.
--This is an instinctive reaction, based on the connection of Awakened abilities. Even if he can't see anything now, he can accurately lock the target area.
Then, Cao reached out and pushed near the window, causing the rocket to deviate slightly from its direction and land on the wall of the villa.
He felt she was a friend and had to help her.
Rumble!
Fire bloomed.
…………
Red Wolf Zone, the Senate.
Looking at the people below who were either dead, seriously injured, or had entered the "Six Paths of Reincarnation," looking at the citizens and sub-humans affected by Awakened at different "Mind Corridor" levels, listening to the sounds of crying and laughing in the Senate, Jialuolan suddenly had a little impulse in her heart.
In an instant, some words floated into her mind again:
"Although we humans pride ourselves on being higher beings, in the face of the world and fate, we are like fallen leaves in a strong wind, able only to dance with the wind, unable to decide where we will fall..."
"I am so weak that I cannot resist the arrangements of fate..."
"I am still the same now. If the Executive had not become a 'Heartless One' and no longer had any wisdom, my abilities would definitely not be able to affect him, allowing him to briefly ignore my existence and not use his abilities on me..."
"Normally speaking, I should also be laughing and crying for a while now..."
"Each of those 'Mind Corridor' level Awakened who are fighting against each other outside is stronger than me. If I rashly go out and get involved in this matter, not only will I not be able to save anyone, but I won't even be able to protect myself..."
Amidst the flickering of one thought after another, Jialuolan was stunned for a full few seconds.
Suddenly, the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a slightly self-deprecating smile.
She closed her eyes and laughed to herself:
"Since I've already come here, then let's just go with the flow..."
Jialuolan stretched out her palm and tried to push open the window.
At this moment, she seemed to see that the young girl opposite, with a face full of youth and childishness, also stretched out her palm and pressed it against her own.
…………
Golden Apple Zone, in the secret room where Cass was sleeping.
An old man with all white hair was slowly putting on a white shirt, fastening the wrist cuffs, as if waiting for a certain opportunity.
The curtains blocking the surroundings had been pulled open a crack at some point, and bright light shone in.
On the wall behind him, the old man's black shadow was also adjusting the wrist of his shirt, but it was so huge, connecting to the ceiling above and stepping on the thick carpet below.
