Chapter 472 Calm Thinking and Explosion
There is no doubt that Shan is now faced with a time when he needs to make a choice. Should he succumb to the persuasion of the man in front of him, or continue to keep it secret at great risk?
However, the trick of words is that it will make the other party feel that he has the opportunity to choose and should choose between the two answers.
Reality is not a game. There are no two necessary options. All behaviors are extremely free. When you hesitate between the two answers, you often fall into the trap of the questioner.
As an excellent student, Shan is not stupid. Although he was indeed frightened at the beginning, his reason slowly recovered as time went by.
The other party did not tell him his identity, and he could not guarantee that the other party would keep it secret after he spoke. Speaking at this time would not only fail to gain any benefits, but would confirm his behavior.
Perhaps at the beginning, he should pretend not to know the other party's questions, leave quickly, and not answer any questions from the other party.
Put yourself in his shoes. If the other party can easily take you away, why waste your words here? With the current advanced technology, few ordinary people can stand the torture.
Since the other party did not take him away by force, it means that the other party has some concerns. After all, this is Academy City, and he is still a student at a prestigious school. If he disappears that night, the school will definitely look for him. With the power of the Lapis Lazuli Academy, a search order will be issued. After receiving the task, those professional high-level firms will do their best to investigate and search. The man in front of him may not be able to hold on.
Evil people also need evil people to fight. Those firms that wander in the gray area are not easy to get along with. He didn't like this kind of organization before, but now he finds that the existence of some firms is indeed necessary.
After taking a deep breath, Shan's heart calmed down. He looked around with the corner of his eyes, ready to find a breakthrough.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, the man who had not gotten the answer he wanted gradually lost his patience. He snorted coldly and simply raised his hand. Another blazing blue ring flew past Shan's body. The violent static shock made Shan's body numb and he knelt on the ground. His head almost hit the floor. In the end, his crooked shoulder slightly cushioned it.
"Delaying is not the behavior of a good student. It seems that you still have a lot of luck." The other party continued to speak, but Shan, who was lying on the ground, became more and more certain that the other party did not dare to really kill him.
If the other party was a member of an official organization such as the Tribunal, there was no need to do these things. He could just detain himself directly. However, since the other party did not do so, it could only mean that he was also a person in the gray area, who was not in the light, and did not even have a strong background.
Thinking of this, Shan became more and more confident. He moved his throat and tried to pretend to be hesitant and nervous.
"How can you guarantee that after I say it, you will not continue to threaten me with this."
"Haha, so you are worried about this. You are very smart. You are worthy of being a student of a prestigious school." The man stopped.
"I am a person cooperating with the official. If you can confess valuable information, I can make a guarantee for you and admit that you are a special informant, so that you can avoid being tried and convicted."
"Guarantee, what form of guarantee?" Shan continued to ask, trying to delay time.
"I will explain this to you later, but now is not the time for you to ask questions." The other party also gradually realized that there was no awe in Shan's tone, and his voice became cold.
"You are not lucky enough to think that what you have done is small, right? For students like you, the school has always dealt with them strictly, otherwise the reputation of the school will be ruined." He explained the danger and badness of Shan's behavior from the facts.
However, Shan increasingly realized from the other party's words that the other party was fierce on the outside but weak on the inside. Violence is always the most direct language. When the enemy talks to you at length, it often means that the other party cannot kill you with a sure thing, and he also has concerns.
Shan, who regained his confidence, walked out of the previous fear and gradually clarified his next choice.
When the man opposite raised his hand again, Shan did not sit and wait for death this time. A special light flashed in his eyes, and his figure rushed forward.
The fiery blue ring brushed past his side again, bringing a lot of electric sparks and shocks, but this time he was well prepared, relying on the isolation and drainage barrier on his body surface to greatly reduce the impact of the current shock.
Shan You, who escaped from the impact of the ring, fell to the ground, then kicked up again and rushed towards the other party. His figure was like an afterimage, and the magic light on his body turned deep red unconsciously.
"Uh ah ah ah ah——" He made a tearing cry, with red and blue interlaced light flashing in his pupils, and then swung out with one hand, like a chopping knife.
Although he had never learned sword skills and related combat skills before, he was extremely proficient at this moment. The dark red magic blade flashed in the night sky. Although it was thin, it still carried a certain danger. It might not kill the man in front of him, but as long as the other party's clothes were torn, leaving wounds and bloodstains, it would become extremely troublesome to deal with the scene later.
While the man saw through Shan's weakness, he also saw through the other party's weakness. Since he appeared in such a tight tights, it meant that the other party was also afraid of exposing his identity.
A fierce confrontation broke out in an instant. The two men crossed each other several times. Suddenly, a blue magic ring appeared on the man's wrist, smashing the incoming dark red blade like a steel bracelet. Then he retreated violently, dodging the close-range attacks. The blue magic ring continued to appear and spread, bombarding and knocking away the incoming blade.
The dark blue figure drew a long arc in the night. After dodging the sharp blade swung by Shan, the man floated in the air, then clenched his fist, and several blue cubes formed around him flashed and collapsed inwards, and then rushed out with his fist, directly penetrating Shan who was running forward.
Under the violent high-energy particle flow, Shan flew high, bursting with various sparks all over his body, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Indeed, Shan saw through the man's concerns and made a clear plan, but violence is violence, and the crushing of strength made many strategies useless.
Shan fell to the ground and was unconscious. Most of his body was destroyed and roasted by high-energy particles. If he was not sent for rescue, he would probably die on the spot in a short time.
The man was very dissatisfied with this result, but he also realized that tonight's action was a failure. Just as Shan guessed, killing this boy at this moment would not bring any benefits, but would greatly offend the school and the authorities, and bring many bounty hunters who smelled the blood.
He was not the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for his ideals, so he naturally had to consider the gains and losses.
After a little thought, he prepared to leave the scene. It was no good to stay at this time. The battle just now would soon attract the attention of others. As for the unconscious boy on the ground, as long as the roadside surveillance that he had blocked was restored in a while, he would be taken away by the ambulance sent. He didn't need to worry about it.
Fine textures appeared on the tights. As the magic power filled up, his figure gradually faded and gradually disappeared into the night.
Just as everything that happened tonight was about to end, a bright silver light passed through the night sky and hit the air, making the outline of a human figure emerge.
The man who threatened Shan before was floating in the air, covering the burnt tights. Although the wound was not serious, it caused his invisibility ability to fail, and the risk factor tonight was greatly increased.
He moved quickly, and then searched the direction of the ray. A number of hoverbikes sprayed blue fire mist tracks, and drove through the night sky at high speed, heading towards the place where the battle took place. On the leading motorcycle, there was a girl wearing a silver short jacket. Her black hair with purple highlights flew rapidly in the night sky. As the motorcycle approached the location, she turned over and jumped to the side of Shan who was lying on the ground.
After a careful inspection, she found that Shan was still alive. Alana breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her head and looked at the man who was fleeing rapidly in the distance. She raised one hand and snapped her fingers crisply in the night.
Then several bright balls appeared in the night sky, emitting several silver rays, chasing the man in the distance.
The highly penetrating high-energy particles shot several burnt holes in the man's body, causing him to cough up blood on the spot, but after a brief pause, he changed his shape again, and his figure became more and more blurred in the night, making it difficult for subsequent rays to track and hit, and finally disappeared in the night.
"Hmph." Alana was very dissatisfied with the result, but she didn't have the energy to chase after him.
The companions behind her put Shan on the motorcycle and then rode the motorcycle again, escorting him to the nearest medical center.
