Squid Who Loves Diving

Chapter 642 Almost

The other side of the crack was filled with countless overlapping shadows, pressing outwards as if trying to penetrate the barrier and extend out. Within their gaps, a large number of glimmers flickered, "releasing" darkness.

Welf's "invisible tentacles" had just turned to this page when they suddenly froze, as if a creature had encountered its natural enemy, or a human had a gun pressed to their temple.

The "invisible tentacles" began to tremble, and Welf, sitting in the small truck dozens of meters away, instantly turned pale, his mouth making a "de-de-de" sound.

After a brief period of brewing, he screamed uncontrollably:

"No!

"Spare me!"

He abruptly retracted the four "tentacles" he had extended, trying to break away from that extraordinarily terrifying gap.

The reaction was so great, so violent, that Welf could no longer conceal his movements as he perused Shang Jianyao's memories.

Inside the "True Self Church" stronghold, Shang Jianyao, who was nibbling on an oatcake, suddenly paused.

He felt a mess in his mind, as if someone was screaming.

And once Awakened beings had this kind of substantial interaction, their existence was no longer a secret to each other.

In an instant, Shang Jianyao caught the source of the anomaly.

It was a human consciousness located dozens of meters away!

Shang Jianyao threw the oatcake back on the table, turned his head, and shouted at Bai Chen:

"'Six Senses Beads' to me!"

At the same time, he locked onto that human consciousness and used "Literary Youth" on him.

He initially judged that this was the weak and timid "Doomsday Man" domain "Mind Corridor" level Awakened.

Inside the small truck, Welf, who had just regained his composure and was about to start the car and leave this area, suddenly became depressed.

He felt like a failure, and couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Having been born as a human, I am sorry..." (Note 1)

As Welf wallowed in self-pity, Bai Chen heard Shang Jianyao's shout.

Without hesitation, she threw the "Six Senses Beads" she was holding over.

After making this move, she let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had finally gotten rid of some bad experience.

The reason Shang Jianyao wanted the "Six Senses Beads" instead of the "Life Angel" necklace was based on consideration of distance.

The "Life Angel" necklace could directly cause the target's heart to stop, depriving him of his life, but it could only affect humans within a range of forty meters, while the "Six Senses Beads" reached one hundred and twenty meters in this regard.

Now, the target locked by Shang Jianyao was between sixty and eighty meters away!

From another perspective, the "consciousness deprivation" of the "Six Senses Beads" was not much worse than "cardiac arrest," and could also disintegrate an enemy's combat ability in one hit.

The only problem was that it could only be used three times, but Shang Jianyao didn't care.

After catching the "Six Senses Beads" with his left hand, Shang Jianyao did not hesitate to turn the rosary.

Unlike in the past, when he needed to say the name of the corresponding ability to make it work, the current "Six Senses Beads" had integrated the abnormal aura of the Iron Mountain Second Food Company, this Buddhist holy site, and only needed the two steps of thinking and turning the beads to use, simplifying it a lot.

At a critical moment, which Shang Jianyao thought of a question:

If we separately think "visual deprivation," "auditory deprivation," "olfactory deprivation," "tactile deprivation," "gustatory deprivation," and "consciousness deprivation" in our minds, and quickly turn the beads, which ability would ultimately be activated?

The calm and rational Shang Jianyao quickly suppressed the jumping of his thoughts, preparing to emit the sound of "consciousness deprivation" from the bottom of his heart.

Just at this moment, he suddenly felt the "Six Senses Beads" in his hand turn cold.

It no longer felt like a wooden rosary, but more like a glazed bead made by firing.

A cyan-green light appeared before Shang Jianyao's eyes, and scenes transformed within the light.

In those scenes, Shang Jianyao successfully used the "Six Senses Beads" to deprive the target of consciousness.

Then, he took the "Life Angel" necklace from Jiang Baimian, climbed out of the window, and went straight to the area where the enemy was located.

There was a certain amount of chaos there due to the coma of the "Doomsday Man" domain Awakened, and the "Golden Balance" Awakened, who was good at hiding, revealed his figure.

Entering the forty-meter range, Shang Jianyao locked onto this woman and directly activated the ability of the "Life Angel" necklace.

As expected, the target's heart stopped and she fell down.

Shang Jianyao smiled, drew his pistol, and pulled the trigger on the two Awakened's minions.

The sound of gunfire echoed, and those enemies lost their lives one after another.

These scenes shattered in an instant, and re-condensed into a picture.

In the picture, Shang Jianyao opened his eyes.

Around him, Jiang Baimian died of "cardiac arrest," Long Yuehong was deprived of consciousness and shot to death by random bullets, Bai Chen was hit by several bullets and was in a dying state, and Genava's eyes were frozen with red light, as if he hadn't noticed anything.

This is... The calm and rational Shang Jianyao raised his right hand and slapped himself hard in the face.

*Slap!*

His face was in pain for a while, and his head was dizzy for a few seconds before returning to normal.

At this time, he found that although he was holding the "Six Senses Beads," the human consciousness he was locking on to was not the enemy dozens of meters away, but Long Yuehong, who was close at hand!

Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen, on the other hand, had their eyes half-closed and unfocused.

They had somehow drawn their "United 202" sidearms, and it looked like they were preparing to aim at Shang Jianyao.

"Sleepwalking!"

Shang Jianyao instantly understood the real cause of Ugo's death:

He was affected by the "Nightmare," entered a sleepwalking state, and suffocated himself with a plastic bag!

On the other side, the red light in Genava's eyes was stagnant, as if he was in another world, and had not received the electromagnetic signals of the surrounding changes.

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

Shang Jianyao ducked, dodging the volley of fire from his three companions.

The bullets hit the table, pierced through it, drilled into the floor, or became ricochets, almost injuring the people in the room.

In the unsilenced gunshots, Jiang Baimian and others woke up, their expressions a little dazed.

Shang Jianyao didn't have time to explain, so he could only shout:

"Sleepwalking!"

As the sound echoed, he extended his spirit to the area dozens of meters away, trying to lock onto that "Mind Corridor" level Awakened in the "Doomsday Man" domain again.

But the other party had moved his position and re-covered his consciousness.

Sleepwalking? Jiang Baimian's eyes turned slightly, and remembering Ugo's experience, she quickly understood what had just happened.

They were unknowingly affected by the "Nightmare," entered a sleep state, and then began to sleepwalk, attacking their companions under the guidance of the corresponding dream!

If Shang Jianyao hadn't woken up in time, the "Old Task Force" probably wouldn't have been able to find a complete person besides Genava.

And what shocked Jiang Baimian the most was that she had clearly had the auxiliary chip monitor her physical condition, and called the high-voltage current in her bionic limb to forcibly wake her up as soon as she noticed that she was falling asleep, but this time it didn't work.

During "sleepwalking," her physical state was still somewhat different from normal, but it was clearly different from sleep.

Therefore, the relatively simple auxiliary chip could not recognize it.

This made Jiang Baimian feel that she needed to get a more advanced auxiliary chip from "Mechanical Paradise" to improve the performance of her bionic limb.

As her thoughts raced, she shouted in a deep voice:

"Make yourselves asymmetrical, and then monitor each other's movements!"

As she spoke, Jiang Baimian, whose right arm was already "paralyzed," maintained her posture of holding a gun in her left hand and aiming forward.

She was trying to force out that enemy with obsessive-compulsive symmetry disorder.

Otherwise, perhaps the other party, who was very good at hiding, could easily find an opportunity to complete the assassination as long as he was patient.

——Jiang Baimian, who had not dealt with Awakened beings in this area, was not sure whether her bio-electrical signal induction would be shielded.

Hearing this, Long Yuehong pulled up the sleeve of his right arm, revealing a large area of ​​iron black.

For him, this would better exert the various functions of the mechanical arm.

And in the eyes of obsessive-compulsive symmetry disorder patients, one side is a human arm, and the other side is a mechanical creation, which is an unforgivable crime.

Bai Chen also rolled up her sleeves, and secretly used the "Merman" bionic limb to release invisible infrasound towards the door and window.

On the one hand, she wanted to use the feedback of the sound waves to find hidden enemies, like a simple version of sonar, and on the other hand, she hoped that the other party would be unknowingly injured by infrasound when sneaking in through windows or doors.

After the gunshots, Genava also returned to normal. While probing the surrounding situation in various ways, he emitted a male baritone with a slight synthetic feel:

"They used the power of the 'Nightmare' and can also distort the electromagnetic signals in the environment!"

This includes light.

"You are really cautious, using all your strength from the beginning. Fortunately, the 'Six Senses Beads' have hidden peculiarities, allowing me to see a bad future." Shang Jianyao stood up, holding the rosary in one hand and taking out the white bandage in the other.

He had not yet found the human consciousness he had previously locked on to.

But this does not prevent him from wrapping the left half of his head.

What he wants is asymmetry!
