Squid Who Loves Diving
Chapter 829 Ability Combinations
At that moment, her head suddenly reeled.
She didn't have time to think about what was wrong, and hurriedly released the ability she had prepared.
"Outline the human body"!
The formal name of the ability she used was "Motion Judgement Error", but she preferred the vivid and descriptive name "Outline the human body".
Because once the target group was affected by this ability, all their movements would be roughly manipulated by the Awakened, deviating from the expected trajectory, including shooting.
Thus, a situation would occur where the two sides were clearly very close, but one side emptied their magazine without harming the other at all.
With a bang, Jiang Baimian's military exoskeleton device launched a grenade.
Under the rather hasty interference of "Outline the human body", it slightly deviated from the target.
Seeing this, the woman didn't dare to be careless, and didn't have time to think about why this was different from what she had expected, so she directly pounced to the other side.
She was afraid that the grenade's landing point was too close, and the resulting explosion would engulf her, destroying the bionic smart armor on her body.
After all, grenades were different from bullets. Once they were fired, they were fired. Unless one was extremely unlucky and encountered a stray bullet, there was no need to worry about it. Even if a grenade didn't directly hit the target, it could still cause great damage as long as it wasn't too far away.
As the woman pounced halfway, her pupils suddenly dilated and her gaze froze.
She saw the grenade.
It was blasting towards the area where she was about to land!
How was that possible? In addition to astonishment, the woman didn't have time to think and hurriedly curled up her body to reduce the contact surface.
Boom!
The grenade exploded, and the rising flames engulfed the figure wearing the "Chameleon"-like bionic smart armor.
Jiang Baimian wasn't surprised at all. With a big jump, she used the military exoskeleton device to close the distance by dozens of meters again.
The reason why the other party would "walk right into a trap" and actively collide with the grenade was because they were affected by her "Spatial Illusion" ability.
The grenade did deviate from the target, but what the enemy saw was an illusion, a "projection" in the opposite direction. This was an application of spatial symmetry, so she made the wrong judgment.
And Jiang Baimian, as an Awakened at the "Sea of Origins" level, was able to have such an obvious impact on an enemy at the "Mind Corridor" level because she used the "Chaotic Right Hand" before applying "Spatial Illusion".
The "chaos" produced by this item didn't have a very good effect on Awakened at the "Mind Corridor" level either. The duration and the degree of influence were obviously low. However, although Awakened at the "Mind Corridor" level wouldn't really enter a state of unconsciousness and complete madness because of this, they would still be a little unclear about reality and illusion, easily produce illusions, always take the illusions as real, and take some chaotic actions against it.
An enemy in this state would naturally be more affected when facing "Spatial Illusion".
To use some of the games that Shang Jianyao had played, the "Chaotic Right Hand" greatly weakened the enemy's resistance to illusions, so Jiang Baimian's lower-level "Spatial Illusion" directly triggered a critical hit.
And as an item, the ability attached to the "Chaotic Right Hand" could be used together with Jiang Baimian's own ability and maintained together.
In addition, the target's reaction when facing the grenade allowed Jiang Baimian to make another judgment:
She hadn't explored the depths of the "Mind Corridor" and could only "interfere with electromagnetism" but not "interfere with matter". Otherwise, in that situation, giving the grenade a horizontal force to move it a distance to the side before landing and exploding would obviously be better than curling up the body and hoping that the protection of the bionic smart armor could help avoid most of the damage.
As the explosion subsided slightly, Jiang Baimian used the "Comprehensive Warning System" of the military exoskeleton device to see the enemy's current situation:
A large number of scales had fallen off the "Chameleon"-like bionic smart armor on her body, and there were cracks everywhere, with some blood seeping out.
And from the perception of human consciousness and bioelectrical signals, Jiang Baimian believed that the other party had not suffered fatal injuries, but was just a little weak.
Not giving the enemy a chance to recover initially and put herself in a "drunken" state again, Jiang Baimian raised an arm covered with the military exoskeleton device.
Zzzzt, electric light flickered, but it didn't come from the "Electric Eel"-type bionic limb, but from the electromagnetic weapon loaded on the military exoskeleton device.
In an instant, a mass of projectiles wrapped in a large amount of silver-white light flew out, heading straight for the target.
The surrounding environment was a little brighter because of this.
The woman had just regained her thoughts from the dizziness caused by the explosion when she faced such a dangerous situation.
She didn't have time to use "Outline the human body", because as soon as the electromagnetic projectile left the launcher, no matter how much Jiang Baimian was affected, it wouldn't interfere with the result of this shot.
In the blink of an eye, the real blink of an eye, the woman simply didn't have time to react and could only watch as the electromagnetic projectile blasted her chest.
Silver-white light erupted, and the projectile directly penetrated the "Chameleon" bionic smart armor, penetrating the target's body.
For some reason, perhaps because of the potential influence of some item, Jiang Baimian's attack failed to hit the vital point. The electromagnetic projectile passed through the enemy's left chest below, bringing out a patch of blood.
The intense pain caused the woman to curl up her body and use the "Drunkard Transformation" ability indiscriminately.
Almost at the same time, Jiang Baimian applied "Chaos" and "Spatial Illusion" again.
The woman bounced up and found that her weapons were "lost".
She looked down at the injured area and felt her life slipping away quickly.
Seeing that she couldn't eliminate the enemy in a short period of time, she decisively gave up. She covered the wound and ran away into the distance.
She planned to receive good treatment, stabilize her injuries, and then come back for revenge.
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian hesitated for a moment and interrupted the "Spatial Illusion" and the "chaos" created by the item, allowing the enemy to escape.
She had originally wanted to make the other party encounter a "ghost wall".
…………
Koningmis, the main city, next to that small square.
Shang Jianyao looked at the hazy high tower in the distance and asked Genava:
"Can you see it?"
"Yes." Genava answered without hesitation.
"Does it look familiar?" Shang Jianyao asked.
"It doesn't." Genava had already completed the analysis and comparison.
Shang Jianyao sighed to himself:
"It seems that there is such a high tower in 'New World'. I have seen it at Yan Hu's place and on the cruise ship."
"I've heard you mention that this seems to be a symbol of 'New World'." Genava "suddenly realized", "Is that the root of the problem, so that the landmark building of 'New World' and Koningmis have a certain overlap, and allow us several kilometers away to see it?"
"Yeah." Shang Jianyao, whose one hand was paralyzed, couldn't clench his right fist and strike his left palm.
He then took a nostalgic look at the direction of the hazy high tower and said calmly and rationally:
"Let's go."
Genava did not object.
The two quickened their pace and ran back, but not by the original route, but detoured slightly to avoid encountering people from the Eighth Research Institute.
When they were about to get out of the dim area shrouded in mist, Shang Jianyao stopped.
"What's wrong?" Genava slammed on the brakes and asked, without adding "again".
Shang Jianyao smiled:
"The strengthening of the vortex seems to have stopped and is no longer spreading outwards."
"Yeah, it's even calming down a little."
Genava analyzed for a few seconds and said:
"Did the Eighth Research Institute's isolation measures take effect?"
Although he and Shang Jianyao hadn't discovered what isolation measures the Eighth Research Institute had taken, it seemed that they could only guess in this direction now.
"What if it's the constraints of certain existences within 'New World'?" Shang Jianyao retorted.
Genava couldn't rule out this possibility, so he had to sigh:
"It's a good thing it didn't spread out, otherwise we would have to consider using nuclear bombs."
The bottom line of the Old Task Force was not to let "Heartless Disease" break out on the graylands once again.
Shang Jianyao didn't respond to Genava and praised irrelevantly:
"The long night is endless, may Fate bless us!"
It took Genava nearly two seconds to understand why this guy said that:
This exploration showed that there was indeed a large amount of "Heartless Disease" virus in Koningmis. The closer to the vortex, the easier it was to be infected, and Shang Jianyao was still alive and kicking.
There was no other reason besides the blessing of "Fate".
Uh, it might also be the blessing of "Bodhi", the blessing of "Zhuang Sheng", the blessing of "You Gu"...
…………
"It's a pity that we couldn't keep that Awakened." Long Yuehong shook his head, which was still a little numb, and walked towards Bai Chen while sighing to Jiang Baimian who was approaching.
"How to keep her?" Jiang Baimian laughed. "As long as she's not dead and not unconscious, we'll be affected by her ability, and accurately making her unconscious is much more difficult than killing her."
This sparse woodland was not suitable for her to release anesthetic gas, and the enemy had always maintained a sufficient distance until she was affected by the singing before entering the hundred-meter range.
Bai Chen then said:
"Dying is better than escaping."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's what I mean." Long Yuehong said that he was not stupid and wouldn't dream of capturing an Awakened at the "Mind Corridor" level to get valuable information from her.
The reason why the Old Task Force was able to capture the Eighth Research Institute's envoy, Cao, and keep him in a coma was a bit of a fluke.
If it weren't for Kangna, if it weren't for the prior plan, if it weren't for the existence of various factors, how would the Old Task Force have had the opportunity to anesthetize the other party?
Jiang Baimian smiled:
"If we had really tried our best at the time, it wouldn't have been impossible to kill her, but I gave up."
She glanced at the remaining bloodstains on the ground and said calmly:
"If she died, how would we follow the clues and find her once Old Ge and Xiao Bai return?"
