Chapter Fifty-Six: Fighting Illusion with Illusion
Edmund's Great Prophecy can fool others, but it can't fool Shen Yi, because he has seen with his own eyes how the girl in white creates a dragon in front of his eyes.
The so-called stop of time and the summoning of the dragon are all just the external appearance of all this, and its core essence is the power to make dreams come true.
It's like Gu Mozhi is proficient in seventy-two stunts, and to put it bluntly, he relies on a small foundation of Wuxianggong.
The same goes for Edmund!
He has the power of the rules, at least partially.
At that moment, he suddenly understood.
There was one thing he couldn't figure out all along, and that was the question of the bloodline of the immortal birds.
The so-called immortal bird bloodline inheritance, what is it inheriting?
Knowledge?
Memory?
Life experience?
Even thought, philosophy, theology, and so on......
All of this can be recorded with pen and paper and handed over to posterity.
Why do you have to use a bloodline as a basis for inheritance?
Unless there is some kind of secret that cannot be recorded.
Like rules!
Every adventurer, when they come all the way from the low difficulty area, will have their own encounters or discoveries, and some of them may inadvertently master some kind of rules.
For example, Shen Yi is now very aware of the law of income reciprocity in the city, although the city has never disclosed this aspect to him, he can almost completely retell this rule through his own experience and understanding. And when he understands this rule, he knows better how to make a deal and how to weigh the pros and cons. To a certain extent, this is also the use of rules, but because he still has too little control, too simple, and unsystematic, he can only use it, not control, change, and even destroy and create.
The Purgatory Sect has been inherited for a hundred years, and those who can obtain the inheritance and become the patriarch of the family are all elites, and they may not be good at the same direction, so they understand the rules differently.
These understandings of the rules may not be useful at first, like a forest alone, but in the process of passing on from generation to generation, over time, they have built a deep foundation for the entire family.
Edmund is clearly an adventurer who has mastered a lot of rules, but his mastery of the rules is no longer a simple use, but has reached the point of control.
It is precisely because he can control the power of the rules that he can use the ability of the most fundamental source of the bloody city where dreams come true.
Clearly, however, even if he wanted to use such power, it would come at a great cost, and he had deep scruples about itβwhether or not his rule power was legitimate, the Supreme Council would not like anyone outside of them to be able to grasp and use the power of rules.
This may be why he is so reluctant to use this power.
However, there are two questions that Shen Yi hasn't figured out for the time being, one is why Edmund either doesn't use it, and the other uses it is the power of the rules, doesn't he have ordinary and ordinary tricks? With his identity as a peak general of five difficulties, a few double S-level skills are enough to deal with the scene, right? The second is that the strength of the four major organizations is comparable, even if it is one-on-one, I haven't heard of which Purgatory Sect is capable of suppressing it. If Edmund has mastered the power of the rules and is not able to suppress the other three organizations, then does it mean that the bosses of the other three factions also have their own unique ability to understand and master the rules?
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the master-apprentice bond of the Dragon Alliance......
"The Infernal Cult is on board. The gentle whisper pulled Shen Yi's distant thoughts back.
On the screen, the Cult of Purgatory has entered the hover's belly chamber on a space shuttle.
A large number of Galactic Empire warships were circling the Rover, but none of them dared to open fire - the gravitational waves caused by the faster-than-light engine when activated were extremely staggering, and once attacked and exploded, the energy generated was enough to cause a tsunami of collapse on the entire surface of the planet, and although it would not destroy the planet, it was enough to kill more than 90% of the life on the planet.
Even the Sith Great, who regarded human life as a mustard, could not afford such a loss.
However, the Imperial warships are not idle, they are locking on this spaceship, once the spaceship jumps out, a large number of Imperial warships will chase after it, chasing and fighting against this spaceship in the universe, this is also the second additional mission this time, the pursuit of the Empire, but as long as they complete this last mission, the mission of this competition has been successfully won.
Compared to the pursuit of the Empire, the threat from the adventurers is greater, so for the Purgatory Sect, they are actually on the road to victory when they come to this point.
That's why, when the adventurers walked into the cargo hold, everyone shouted excitedly: "Success, we win!"
"We've won!" everyone laughed and hugged each other.
Affleck hugged Parma tightly, Redes patted Astin's shoulder, and Augusta slapped his chest and let out a rough roar like a bear.
Only Edmund frowned slightly, he vaguely felt that victory had come too easily, there seemed to be something wrong, but he couldn't say what the problem was.
When fighting, the situation on the battlefield changes dramatically, and all kinds of amazing changes occur almost every second, so that people often only have time to use their instincts to solve problems.
And when the battle is over, the mind can be calmed down, the reason can be restored, and many problems that were not originally aware of it will also surface one by one at this moment.
Edmund felt something in his heart at this moment, and the next moment he was already exclaiming, "It's not time to celebrate the victory yet." Chomley, immediately occupy the control room and check the condition of the ship, while the others occupy all the points of the ship. β
"Understood!" all the adventurers snorted together.
Chomli had sped towards the ship's control room.
Despite the size of the ship, Chomli was faster, and it was only a moment before he rushed to the control hall, and before he could speak, several of the ship's pilots had been killed by him with a single palm.
He is an adventurer who is responsible for piloting and operating the spaceship in the fifth difficulty, and his status is similar to Zhou Yiyu, so he can operate the spaceship without these pilots at all.
At this moment, he killed the driver, walked quickly to the console, glanced at the instrument and quickly reported: "I have occupied the cockpit, no abnormal findings, the engine energy is full, all the equipment is running normally, the faster-than-light engine has started eighty percent, and there are two minutes to officially enter the jump." β
"No problem?" Edmund's doubts did not abate for a moment, and he strode towards the control room, shouting at the same time, "Check the other positions again!"
"Checking!" Chomli replied loudly, his hands quickly moving in front of the console, but no matter how much he checked, he didn't find any problems with the ship's mission.
Just then, Chomli inadvertently looked up at the porthole.
A white object in the corner of the porthole caught his eye.
He readjusted the angle of the porthole, magnifying the white object.
Then Chomley's face turned pale, and he groaned feebly, "Oh my God!"
"What's wrong?" Edmund asked anxiously at Chomley's voice.
"You'd better come and see for yourself, sir. Chomli swallowed and replied with great difficulty.
Edmund arrived quickly, stunned by the sight outside the porthole.
Twelve thousand kilometers away, a space station is orbiting the planet Crusgen.
It was a bombed-out space station, and next to it, four huge warships were flying around it, and a huge network of energy had enveloped the entire space station.
"Oh God!" Edmund groaned in despair.
On the contrary, it was Xie Rongjun, who was chasing after him, and when he saw the scene outside the window, he laughed lightly: "I know that it is impossible for you to do anything to cut off the way back, otherwise the remaining three districts will have to skin you alive......"
βββββββββββ
At the same time, the airport hospitality hall.
When the Cult of Purgatory departed on a space shuttle, all the adventurers despaired.
"Bastards!" some of the impatient adventurers yelled.
"Shen Yi of the dog day!"
"Broken Blades of the Dog Day!"
Compared to the Purgatory Sect that stole the spaceship, the adventurers hated even more the Broken Blade Team that blew up the spaceship and cut off everyone's back path.
On the contrary, Hua Tianrui's mood gradually calmed down.
Like Edmund and Xie Rongjun, after experiencing the initial frenzy and excitement, when the battle subsided, his mind also became clear, and some things that he didn't have time to think about at the time also realized at this moment.
Hua Tianrui turned around sharply and looked back at the phantom portrait in the sky, the report from "independent reporter Sally Michelle" had ended, and the picture was frozen on the final explosion of the space station.
However, the more Hua Tianrui looked at it, the more he felt that the picture was wrong......
No, this should not be the image of an explosion on a space station, which is located outside the atmosphere, and its explosion should not produce such a large amount of smoke and fire......
And the picture of this explosion is so familiar......
"Top Gun!" Hua Tianrui blurted out.
This is clearly the scene of the explosion of the fighter plane in the movie "Top Gun", no, there is also the fall of the Black Hawk......
"Hell!" Hua Tianrui shouted angrily, and he shouted loudly around him: "Shen Yi, you lied to me!"
At that moment, he already knew that Shen Yi definitely hadn't gone far, and he must be around here!
Rumble!
The explosion scene in the sky disappeared abruptly, replaced by Shen Yi's smiling face.
"You finally see it, man?" Shen Yi replied with a grin, "Yes, I didn't blow up the space station." How could I possibly do that? Cut off your back road, and cut off my own back road? And let the angry of you rush over and tear me apart? And besides, the space station is so easy to bomb? If Megatron really goes up, he might be able to attack the space station, but before he can destroy the space station, he himself will have to be destroyed by the Imperial warship first. β
With a wave of his hand, the space station reappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Shen Yi said leisurely: "I know that you are good at illusion and creating illusions, Hua Tianrui, but I want to tell you that you are not the only one who knows how to deceive, and it is not only illusion that can deceive." Lo and behold, all you need is a computer, a sound synthesizer, professional sound and light effects, a stereo image projection device, plus some small data intercepts and a real reporter, with a combination of truth and falsehood, you can do all this...... This is my illusion, I learned it from you, Bald Eagle King, and it is also a gift for you, I hope you like it. β
Hua Tianrui gasped.
He really didn't expect Shen Yi to play this trick for him.
A simple stereoscopic video playback will make all adventurers fight.
In this battle just now, the three districts of the east, west and south appeared not to mention their hole cards, because the three districts of the southeast and north made an all-out attack in order to grab the spaceship, and objectively formed a joint force, resulting in the desperate fight of each district, and as a result, more than ten adventurers were killed at once. It wasn't until Edmund used the dragon summoning and grabbed the ship that it all stopped.
However, the Eastern Sector has already paid the price of four lives, the Western Sector has also paid five lives, and the Southern Sector has also lost three lives. The only ones who didn't get hurt were the North Sector - they didn't grab the passage and only killed, so they wouldn't be the center of gravity.
It can be said that in this battle, both the East and West Regions were defeated, although everyone had long been prepared for casualties, but when it really happened around them, watching his former comrades fall, Hua Tianrui's heart was still very painful.
He glared at Shen Yi angrily, and said word by word: "I won't let you go, Shen Yi!"
Shen Yi shrugged: "I didn't plan that you would let me go...... Ever since I knew about your secret meeting with Southside, I knew that there would come a time between us. β
As soon as he said this, Hua Tianrui, Lin Weisheng and others immediately changed color.
On the contrary, it was Takei Shizhen, Jin Shengji and the others were stunned: "Secret discussion, what secret discussion?"
Shen Yi was about to speak, when the Supreme Master, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and roared into the air, a dark cloud had covered the entire sky, and at the same time, a rumbling thunder sounded, completely drowning Shen Yi's words.
However, Shen Yi's voice still came: "Instead of asking me this question, why don't you ask your boss, the handicap of the city, what kind of bet is the Vientiane Palace?"
Although the voice was indistinct, Takei Toki-jeong, Kim Seung-hee and others caught it.
And if they do not understand what they mean when they hear this, they will live in vain.
The next moment, a group of adventurers in the southern district had already glared at Lin Weisheng, Zhishan and others at the same time.
Hua Tianrui sighed, knowing that this was over.
At that moment, he suddenly blessed his soul and understood all of Shen Yi's thoughts.
First, they used the fake news that the space station was bombed to force the four districts to kill each other, and then found a way to send the first district away.
According to Shen Yi's plan, it should be the North District that was sent away.
The reason why the northern district should board the ship first is because the western district has a much higher killing demand for the eastern district than the other districts, and if Hua Tianrui does not want to be defeated and killed, he must unite with the southern district to form a strong momentum.
Evenly matched to fight to the death!
It's a pity that he didn't expect Edmund's strength to be so high that a dragon summon would keep everyone out, and the kid from the North District didn't have the slightest interest in getting on the boat, and became the only one who saw through Shen Yi's plan.
The fact that the Purgatory Sect left first led to the failure of Shen Yi's plan to force the southeast and west districts to confront each other, and instead allowed himself to fall into the common hatred of the two districts.
In this case, he chooses to immediately provoke self-harm in the southeast and southeast districts, so as to divert the target of hatred, and the Broken Blades can get out safely.
If necessary, they can even appear as saviors, leading those adventurers in the Southern District who have been kept in the dark, replacing the leadership of Lin Weisheng and others.
Thinking of this, a trace of coldness oozed from Hua Tianrui's heart.
Since his debut, he has always used illusions to create various deceptions to deal with enemies, and he has rarely failed.
The only time he failed was probably against the boy from the North District, the illusion was broken, but he still relied on the advantage of more people to defeat the opponent.
didn't expect to meet Shen Yi, but he came to use illusion to control illusion, and gave him a head-on stick with his best means, and he was really unwilling to lose.
At this moment, he looked at the sky, and his heart was full of war, and he shouted loudly: "I will defeat you, Shen Yi!"
