Section 2422 Rejection Mechanism

This situation gave Angel a strong sense of déjà vu.

When he was in the abyss, Toby was contaminated by the breath left by the Doom Walker, and bad luck happened one after another. It is inexplicably similar to the current situation.

Of course, the misfortune encountered by Mist Shadow should not come from the Doom Patroller.

Where would that come from?

Just bad luck? Angel didn't believe it.

But if there is external interference, who can interfere with this fate?

Among the extraordinary beings Angel has come into contact with, it seems that apart from the Patroller of Doom and the Thief of Destiny, there should be none... No, there is another one.

Reynolds himself can also affect his fortune to a certain extent. He can be called "John's Counterattack", and this is not false.

But Reynolds usually has good luck, but now "Reynolds" is having bad luck.

Is this the physical rejection effect caused by the shadow of mist possessing Reynolds?

The so-called rejection can actually be understood as the rejection of foreign differences by our own will. This is not just an individual, but the world itself has a similar rejection mechanism. For example, Jon's incompatibility with the local will led to a series of subsequent tragedies. This can be regarded as a classic example of rejection.

However, generally speaking, rejection is not unsolvable. As long as your individual strength is strong, you can completely crush the original will.

Moreover, the rejection mechanism is a passive defense, and most people really have no means to improve this passive mechanism. Unless you have similar counterattacks, or you cheat.

Angel didn't know whether Reynolds had any means to fight back. But if the "hang" that affects fortune really exists in Reynolds' talent, then this "external discussion" mechanism may become the main means for the self to expel external differences.

This method resulted in Reynolds having natural attributes that were difficult to possess even if his body was not strong.

Angel didn't know if this guess was correct, but if it was true, the foggy shadow should be feeling very uncomfortable right now.

The opposite of good fortune is extremely bad fortune.

The triggering of the agency corridor proved all this.

However, what Angel is a little worried about is that if there is no upper limit to the backlash of this kind of bad luck, even if he really crosses the shadow of the fog, Reynolds' physical body will probably not get any benefits.

This is a rejection mechanism that hurts the enemy a thousand times and hurts oneself a thousand times.

"I hope that when Reynolds' body is found, he can still maintain a rough human shape, right?" Angel looked at the charred marks on the ground where the skin tissue could be seen, and said silently in his heart.

…

Outside the base laboratory.

A huge "buzzing" sound came from a distance, and as the surrounding fog rolled, a new round of lawful air waves came.

Ferro, who was talking loudly outside the Flame Law Land, also stopped talking at this time, frowned, and looked towards the direction of the law air wave.

"Why do you feel that the pressure of this air wave is getting stronger and stronger? And... the sound seems to be closer to here."

Ferro felt inexplicably uneasy, always feeling like there were some bad omens.

He lowered his head and looked at a piece of black crystal in his hand. This was given to him by Kanter so that he could crush it when he was in danger. Then Kanter would be able to sense and locate his position and cross the gap between the planes. to.

Ferro was thinking whether to crush it now.

At this moment, not only Ferro was hesitating, but No. 03, who was hiding in the core of the weapon, was also hesitant.

She also felt the huge roar, and at the same time, she also heard the screams of sea beasts hidden under the roar. She knew what kind of sea beast it was, and she also knew that that sea beast had very magical characteristics and could definitely become the best physique for the ultimate goal of the experiment.

However, what she is a little confused about is that although the sea beast is powerful, No. 01 has brought out so many combatants and also taken that precious alchemy tool. Why hasn't it been taken down yet?

Moreover, from the intensity of the law air waves and the volume of the roar, it can be seen that the battlefield seems to be far away from the nest, but is getting closer and closer to the laboratory.

Was there a stalemate, so the chase was dragged to the laboratory? Want to tap into the power of the lab?

If No. 01 really encounters difficulties and tries to use the power of the laboratory to target the sea beast, then when he returns to the laboratory now, he is likely to be ambushed by the group of guys outside.

No. 03 understands that we can’t wait any longer.

She must do something, otherwise, let alone waiting for them to save her, No. 01 will be attacked from both sides when she comes back, and her side will definitely fail.

But now Ferro was watching from outside, and Sanders and others didn't show up, so they were probably guarding her from going out.

No. 03 bit her lip and looked at the bottle in her hand again. The magical core inside still exuded great attraction to her.

Do you want to eat it? After eating it, she should be able to resist, but her future will become unpredictable in the future.

If you don't eat it, you won't be able to face the second-level true knowledge wizard on your own.

No. 03 hesitated for a long time and finally put the core down. She wanted to take a gamble and bet that Sanders wasn't out there.

If the bet wins and she faces Ferro alone, even if she is temporarily unable to do so, she can rush to the laboratory and activate the biggest mechanism, the unity of inside and outside.

Even if she loses the bet, as long as they don't kill her as soon as they meet, she still has a chance to swallow the core.

After making the decision, No. 03 took a deep breath and looked firmly at the blazing flames outside...

…

The laboratory is on the fourth underground floor.

"Here we go again." Niss said softly, feeling the boundless waves of law around him.

The air was very quiet until the law wave dissipated, and then Nice broke the silence again: "The strength of this law wave, it feels like there is no sign of decline, but it is getting higher and higher."

"It's approaching us." Kant said directly.

"The law wave, if nothing unexpected happened, was created by No. 01 to deal with the Xiz cub. It is now continuously approaching. Does it mean that No. 01 and his team are coming back?" Since knowing No. 01's purpose, it has become easier to infer the situation outside.

Kant nodded: "He should return. But this time he returns, it may not be a victory."

Nice understood what Kant meant. If he really won, the law wave should also disappear. If it didn't disappear, it meant that there was a problem in the war.

Perhaps he underestimated the strength of the Xiz cub, or overestimated his own cooperation.

But no matter why No. 01 and his team came back, their return may have become a fait accompli.

What needs to be solved now is, what should they do?

"We can't wait any longer, leave the laboratory as soon as possible." Kant said.

This is not only because Ferro is outside and needs to go for support; there is another most important point. If No. 01 really leads the Xiz cub to the laboratory and kills the Xiz cub nearby, they will probably be affected.

If Gruzdeward is furious, he will definitely not be able to distinguish who is in the same group with whom, and will definitely catch them all.

Therefore, leaving the laboratory as soon as possible is the best choice.

If it doesn't work, find a way to stop No. 01 from attacking the Xiz cub.

After they made the decision, Kant began to contact Angel, and Nice looked back at Reynolds and found that his soul was a little unstable and his expression was a little dazed.

Nice thought Reynolds was worried about his body and said, "Even if the body is gone, believe me, the soul can live forever."

Reynolds raised his head slowly. Nice could see from his confused eyes that Reynolds might not have heard their conversation before.

This is indeed the case. Reynolds said with a blank face: "Ah?"

Nice sighed and did not tell Reynolds about their decision. He was ready to kidnap him directly after the matter was settled: "Nothing... Well, what were you thinking about just now?"

Reynolds: "I, I seem to feel that the connection with my physical body has become weaker. In fact, there was a period of time before that I couldn't feel it at all. It's like, he doesn't exist..."

Nice patted Reynolds on the shoulder: "Don't worry, your physical body may be dead."

Reynolds: "..."

"Anyway, you are homeless now, and your physical body is dead. Just join the Soul Valley obediently in the future."

Reynolds: "...I seem to have sensed something again." His physical body seems to be able to be rescued.

Nice wanted to say something, but Kant on the other side suddenly said: "There is a situation."

Nice looked over in confusion, but saw Kant stretched out his hand, and a crystal as dark as the night appeared in the middle of his palm.

At this time, cracks appeared on the surface of the crystal, and the cracks spread quickly, and soon covered the entire crystal.

"It was Ferro who crushed the crystal I gave him. Something might have happened to him. Let's leave immediately!" Kant said.

"But Angel..."

Kant: "I have told Toby and the fire elf about the situation. They will tell Angel later."

After speaking, Kant crushed the black crystal directly.

As the crystal powder scattered, a savage space crack appeared in front of them instantly.

Kant: "Let's go!"

Nice also nodded solemnly.

At this time, Kant added: "Remember to pay me the cost of two nightmare crystals later."

Nice's expression immediately changed from serious to ferocious.

...

On the other side, Angel, who was on the first floor of the laboratory, also sensed the arrival of the law wave.

But Angel did not stay as before, but instead accelerated.

"Toby, gravity veins." Angel said while moving quickly.

Toby nodded, jumped into the air and flapped his wings, and waves of gray mist immediately dispersed, completely enveloping them.

With the blessing of the gravity veins, Angel can move freely in the law air wave.

Angel's speed was very fast, and corridors were left behind him. He had sensed that he was getting closer and closer to Reynolds's body.

At this time, if the mist shadow was not protected by the power of the law veins, it would inevitably be affected by the law air wave and stop moving, and this was Angel's opportunity.

However, while running, Angel was also thinking about a new problem: there was a chance to easily solve the problem, but how could the mist shadow not explode?

Before, after the fire scale demon was caught by him, the mist shadow had a direct head explosion, and such a scene was still vivid in his mind. If Reynolds's head was also exploded, then even if his body was found, it would be useless.

Angel thought about it, but still couldn't come up with a perfect solution.

In the end, he could only hope that Reynolds's ego will would give a little strength.

Since the fate can be changed through the rejection mechanism, it would be best if something goes wrong when the mist shadow wants to explode the skull, so that it cannot explode the skull.

With a fluke mentality, Angel rushed through the corridors while the law of air waves swept.

Soon, Angel came to a new corridor again.

All the energy tubes in this corridor have been emptied, and the glittering energy liquid inside has disappeared. In return, the corridor is filled with poisonous fog.

There is no doubt that this is a mechanical corridor.

Angel stood outside the corridor, and through the green poisonous fog, he saw a figure not far away.

Judging from the outline of the body, it was Reynolds.

However, at this time, "Reynolds" was lying on the ground motionless, looking like a dead body.

"Is he dead?" Dangros's voice sounded in his ears.

"I don't know, but he may be trapped by the law of air waves and unable to move." After Angel finished speaking, he walked directly into this corridor.

The poisonous fog in the corridor is not simple. It is not a particle floating in the material world, but an energy toxin, so it cannot be blown away by the wind, and ordinary energy shields cannot defend it.

For apprentices, this kind of energy toxin is an existence that is difficult to contend with. Once it forms a fog in a narrow space, it can easily force apprentices into a desperate situation.

But for a formal wizard, this kind of poison can't even break through the mental shield. This is a crushing of energy level.

Angel walked step by step to Reynolds.

Here, he could clearly see the "miserable" state of Reynolds.

Burned by fire and frozen, struck by lightning and electric shock, every inch of skin was burnt and red, black was skin fragments, and red was blood and flesh.

His clothes and pants had completely disappeared, and only some fabric fibers could be found on the damaged skin, indicating that he was once a decent person.

Fortunately, Reynolds at least looked intact, without missing arms and legs. But whether the function was lost or not, that was unknown.

"... So pitiful." Dangros spread his palms and looked at the corpse lying on the ground. It had seen Reynolds' intact soul, and looking at his broken body again, it was really a bit hard to bear.

This is probably the end of bad luck backlash.

Angel was a little hesitant about whether to take action against Reynolds now. He was a little worried that bad luck would continue to affect the surroundings.

Finally, Angel summoned the magic hand and dragged Reynolds out of the poisonous fog.

Then, Angel quickly tied up Reynolds and took out a magic pattern scroll to see if he could stop the fog shadow from exploding in the magic vacuum environment.

Soon, the law wave dissipated.

Angel began to be on guard.

But after the aftermath of the law wave disappeared, Reynolds, who was no longer human, still did not move.

Angel hesitated for a moment, and used the power of nightmare to conjure a hand and reached for Reynolds's forehead.
