Volume 18, Chapter 157: You Are Who You Are, and You Are Also if You Are Not.
Chapter 157 It means you are who you are, and you are also if you are not.
The first full-scale confrontation between Masa Matsumoto and I actually produced such a result. The jaws of the players on both sides almost dropped. They were not amazed by our equal strength, but were completely shocked by the destructive power of both of us. You must know that the broken stone is not much smaller than an aircraft carrier, but it was shattered by the aftermath of our attack. How destructive is this?
Masamoto Matsumoto, who was knocked off the rock by me, went all the way down and crashed through two huge rocks floating by before finally getting stuck on the third rock. On the other side, I was blasted high into the sky by Masamoto Matsumoto. I hit a rock and pushed it up, then stopped. Then I started falling again. Although the gravitational field nearby is very low now, compared to Matsumoto Masa who fell down, I have to take advantage of flying up. Gravity is constantly slowing me down, so in terms of the impact force I bear, I It's taking advantage.
Matsumoto Masaga, who was embedded on the third rock, struggled a few times to get up from the rock, but he couldn't shake even a few times. Slightly angry, he suddenly flashed with white light all over his body, and then the rock that stuck him exploded. Matsumoto Masaru popped out of the rock like a missile, shooting straight towards a nearby rock. When his lifting power was about to run out, his feet touched the rock, and his whole body immediately accelerated upward again.
Watching Masamoto Matsumoto bounce up and down, I was not idle either. Looking at several smaller rocks nearby, I stretched out my hand and pointed at the rock, and then quickly turned my finger in the direction of Matsumoto Masa. The rocks I pointed at seemed to be suddenly pushed by someone and turned sharply towards the Matsumoto Masa Expressway.
When those rocks flew near Masamoto Matsumoto, he was actually not far away from me. Looking at the rocks flying at high speed, Masamoto Matsumoto kicked hard on the last rock, and his whole body immediately bounced upwards. The first flying rock directly hit the rock he just took off from and exploded into pieces. The sky was filled with fragments, and Masamoto Matsumoto swung his sword lightly, cutting off the second flying rock, and then passed through the gap left after the second rock broke and directly picked up the third rock and finally rushed to me. in front of.
As soon as the two of us came into contact in the air, the two swords immediately crossed each other. After hearing a crash, the speed of the two of us instantly increased to a state where we could not see clearly. The spectators only saw two white and one purple. Fuzzy light clusters competed in the air, with occasional sparks flying between the light clusters, but no human figures could be seen at all.
Since both of us had nowhere to focus in the air, the light group we were in was getting lower and lower, and finally landed on a rock passing below us. But what shocked the players watching the battle was that as soon as the two of us landed on that rock, the rock immediately disintegrated into countless fragments and shot towards the surroundings.
After passing through the rock, Matsumoto Masaga and I continued to fall, and just when everyone thought we would fall all the way into the abyss, a dazzling flash of light suddenly broke out between us, and then we saw the two of us quickly separated. They flew out to both sides and each found a rock to stand on.
Before, we were fighting so fiercely that people outside couldn't see clearly. Now when we stop, everyone can finally see how fierce the fight between us is. At this time, Matsumoto Masaru's originally fair face actually had a large black footprint, and the Emperor of Light armor on his body was also covered with large and small cuts. What's even more powerful is that Masamoto Matsumoto is desperately holding his side waist at this time, because there is a very obvious large incision on his left waist. The outside is already blood red, and blood is oozing out from time to time. It looks quite... Horrible look.
Matsumoto Masaru's injury was so serious that the Japanese players outside the court were shocked, but when they saw my condition, they started laughing instead. Because compared to Matsumoto Masa, although I don't look too embarrassed, there is a snow-white long sword stuck in my belly.
"Why didn't I see Masa Matsumoto's sword? It turned out to be stuck in Ziri's body!" A Japanese player suddenly realized.
That's right, I'm wearing a long sword on my belly right now, and this sword is none other than Matsumoto Masa's sword of light. Although I am currently using the combined state, the color of Ziri's Dragon Armor is no longer purely black because it is fused with Silver Moon's Oath Set. However, overall, the armor in the combined state is still a bit off in color. It's dark, and a dazzling weapon like the Light Sword, which is as bright as a fluorescent tube, will have more visual impact if it is 'inserted' on my body.
At this time, almost half of the dazzling Light Divine Sword was inserted into my body, and the tip of the sword protruded from my back for more than half a foot. This penetration depth was definitely considered a serious injury. Although it is clear that Masa Matsumoto has defeated me once before, and today's Masa Matsumoto has also received additional attribute support, the Japanese players outside the field still do not have much hope that Masa Matsumoto can defeat me. , so now when they see me being severely injured, it’s like they accidentally won the lottery, and their excitement can only be described as crazy.
"It's weird." Just when most Japanese players were celebrating happily, some discordant voices suddenly came from the Japanese player camp. Although those people are located in different locations in the Japanese player camp, their speaking speed and method are exactly the same. I saw those people saying in the confused eyes of nearby players: "Matsumoto Masaru-kun beat Ziri like that? Why doesn't he have a smile on his face?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of all Japanese players. Even though the number of those who spoke was relatively small, most people did not hear their words immediately, but they quickly attracted the attention of the players as word of mouth spread. All Japanese players pay attention to it.
As the big devil in the minds of Japanese players, I should naturally be excited about someone who can kill me. However, Matsumoto Masaka's performance was obviously abnormal, and due to everyone's admiration for heroes, Matsumoto Masaka's abnormality quickly spread. It’s up to the Japanese players watching the game.
In fact, the person who just said these words was not the observant Japanese player, but the person we assigned to Matsumoto Masa, that is, one of our people. Of course, these people said this for no reason. They were able to spread the news so neatly and at roughly the same time, of course with our permission. As for the purpose of this behavior, it is naturally to attract Japanese players to pay attention to our next performance.
Human beings all have a thirst for knowledge. At best, this is called exploring and seeking knowledge; at worst, it is like listening to gossip. Although Matsumoto Masaka and I can improve Matsumoto Masaka's image just by fighting, in comparison, this method of actively instilling ideas is far less effective than using gossip to allow others to explore the ideas we want to convey. good. Therefore, we decided to arouse the interest of the Japanese players watching the game so that they could study our intentions. Of course, you have to give them some clues if you want them to do research, right? So we started performing.
"Hahaha..." I pushed up the mask and laughed hard, and then blood spurted out from my mouth, but I still persisted and said: "It seems that I have inherited the attributes of so many people." It’s still somewhat useful, at least you’re much better than before.”
"No, I'm not as good as you." Masamoto Matsumoto said calmly.
I covered the wound with one hand and wiped the blood from my mouth with the other: "Why are you being modest? You have inherited the attributes of so many people. If you are not as good as me, then you are no longer a waste?"
"No, that's not what I'm talking about." Masamoto Matsumoto sighed deeply when he said this, and then said: "Even if the attributes I inherit are doubled again, and I kill you all in this duel In the space, so what? The confrontation between Japanese players and Chinese players will still fail. We will eventually perish, but you will become the winner. As the guild president who led Chinese players to completely conquer Japan, I don’t believe it You will have no extra rewards, but what about me? Even if I defeat you ten or a hundred times, so what?" Masamoto Matsumoto shook his head and looked up to the sky again and sighed. "Sometimes I really envy you."
"There are many people who envy me, and you are not the only one."
"No, what I envy is not your strength, but the group of subordinates around you." Masamoto Matsumoto said, then glanced at the gold coins and Kristina, and then continued: "I have been thinking sometimes, what if What would it have been like if the original final plan had not been interrupted because of my resignation!”
When Masamoto Matsumoto revealed the final plan, the Japanese players outside the field all started asking each other in confusion. Of course, the result was that no one knew anything about it, because the plan did not exist at all. However, a plan that does not exist can sometimes play some unexpected roles.
After Masamoto Matsumoto finished speaking, I looked at him and said, "To be honest, I was shocked when I first learned about your plan. If you had really implemented it, then the current strength comparison between China and Japan would still be... It's hard to say. But..." I paused deliberately at this point, while the Japanese players outside the court all raised their ears, for fear of missing a word. I guessed that the attention of the Japanese players had been concentrated before I said, "But fortunately, your plan was aborted in the end. Speaking of which, am I trying to thank that guy Nobunaga?"
After hearing what I said, Masamoto Matsumoto immediately made a wry smile, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's all in the past, so don't mention it."
Although Matsumoto Masaga and I only mentioned it briefly, this actually increased the interest of Japanese players. Although Masamoto Matsumoto and I didn't seem to say anything useful on the surface, the meaning behind these words was actually expressed very clearly. As long as Japanese players are not too stupid, they can summarize two key points: first, Masamoto Matsumoto had a large-scale combat plan before he stepped down, and I have confirmed that this plan is indeed extremely harmful to Chinese players; second, This plan, which proved to be extremely powerful, was destroyed by Nobunaga.
Although the plan that Matsumoto Masaga and I talked about does not exist at all, what does it matter? Could Nobunaga, the ghost-hand, still be able to pull Matsumoto Masaru out to clarify? Or can he find someone to help him prove it? Matsumoto Masaga and I have already said that the plan was aborted. Since it has not been implemented, it means that the executives do not know the contents of the plan. As long as Matsumoto Masaka insists that he does have this plan, when anyone comes forward and says that he does not know the plan, Matsumoto Masaka can question him loudly: "Why should I tell you my secret plan? Who are you?" "Of course, Ghost Hand Nobunaga can also use the fact that no one can prove Matsumoto Masa's plan to convince others that there was no such plan at the beginning, but can Matsumoto Masa really not find anyone to prove it?
Since Masamoto Matsumoto was the leader of Japanese players, he must have a large group of people around him who obeyed his command. It is impossible that Masamoto Matsumoto did not tell these people anything during that period, and now Masamoto Matsumoto only needs to say that those things are part of the plan. He did not reveal the full plan in order to keep it secret. Who can blame Matsumoto for this? Are you congratulating me? What's more, he is not the only one around Matsumoto Masa now. The helpers we arranged for him all have reliable Japanese player identities. Just randomly select a few of them to help Matsumoto Masa prove that they have been exposed to this plan, then will anyone still doubt Masamoto Matsumoto? Besides, even if you take a step back, even if Masamoto Matsumoto can't prove the existence of the plan, so what? Japanese players are not police officers. Will they investigate this matter to the bottom of the matter? Obviously not. The majority of Japanese players will only know that such a thing exists. As for whether they believe it or not, there will definitely be differences because of different personal opinions and positions. But believe it or not, these people have such a knot in their hearts. Can they trust Nobunaga Nobunaga without reservation again?
It is very difficult for a person to build a good reputation, but it is very easy to destroy it. Although there is a saying that rumors stop only for the wise, unfortunately there are many fools in this world, so the power of rumors must not be underestimated. It's like many people say they don't believe in ghosts and gods, but they still maintain a minimum of respect for ghosts and gods. According to this group of people, even though I am basically convinced that there are no ghosts and gods in this world, I am still afraid of the possibility that there are, so I maintain a minimum of respect. If ghosts and gods really come to find me, I will not be embarrassed by them. . This is the mentality of giving in to rumors. Now those Japanese players who know this matter say that they don't believe it, but in their hearts they will definitely think: "Although I don't know if it is true, it is always good to be on guard against Nobunaga, otherwise If one day I get tricked by him, I will help him count the money stupidly."
"Slander, this is slander." While many Japanese players were hesitant to believe it, Nobunaga was furious in a special space. Although Ghost Hand Nobunaga and others have died, the duel space will not teleport the participants out until the duel is completely over. Even those who have died in the battle have to wait for the duel in the rest space attached to the duel space. Finish. Of course, this space can actually observe the fighting situation in the duel space, but it is just like watching TV at home. It is a one-way viewing and cannot affect the people in the duel space.
When he heard Masamoto Matsumoto and I mention this non-existent plan, Nobunaga immediately went crazy. He is not stupid, of course he knows what will happen to him once this matter spreads. Even if others don't believe it, it is still a stain on his reputation, and it is the kind of stain that can never be wiped away.
In fact, to be honest, Nobunaga's anger itself has little confidence, because he himself does not know whether such a plan really exists. When Masamoto Matsumoto came to power, Nobunaga was just a nobody. Why should he be notified of the plan devised by the commander-in-chief of national players? Therefore, regardless of whether such a plan existed at the beginning, Ghost Hand Nobunaga would definitely not know about it. The reason why Ghost Hand Nobunaga is furious now is not because he feels that Masamoto Matsumoto made up such a false plan to frame him, but that he is angry that Masamoto Matsumoto actually said such a thing at such a time.
Because it was impossible for Nobunaga to know the original plan, Nobunaga felt that even if he really ruined the plan, he could not be blamed. After all, he did not sabotage it intentionally. But by Matsumoto Masaru speaking out about this on this occasion, he was clearly slapping Nobunaga in the face and deliberately trying to make him look bad.
Red Lotus Phoenix and Kohato Kenjiro obviously also thought about what Nobunaga was thinking about, but similar to Nobunaga, the group of Japanese players waiting in the rest space were all unknown little people. Regardless of whether such a plan existed in the first place, no one here would know about it. But Masamoto Matsumoto's intention to undermine Nobunaga's popularity was seen by everyone, and they also thought they had found Masamoto Matsumoto's motive for doing so.
Red Lotus Phoenix comforted the furious Ghost Hand Nobunaga and said: "Don't be angry, Matsumoto Masaru is justifiable in destroying your image like this."
"Excusable circumstances?" Nobunaga Ghost Hands was so angry that he went crazy when he heard this. He pointed to the synchronized picture in the rest space and asked: "What love does he have, and what is the reason for it?"
At this time, Kojiro Kenjiro stood up and said: "Kishou-kun, please don't get excited. Speaking of this, it is true that we offended Matsumoto Masaru first. It is considered polite for him to retaliate against you in this way."
"Is he being polite? Once he says this, will I still want to live in Japan in the future?"
Guren Fenghuang explained: "Kenjiro is right, we did cause this matter first. Matsumoto Masaru's original plan was to wait until the Chinese destroyed our country and then use the system's counterattack to protect the time to drive the Chinese out in one fell swoop. Japan, but we suddenly launched a counterattack in advance after Matsumoto Masaka had arranged everything. This is equivalent to Matsumoto Masaka working hard to plant a fruit tree, but in the end we ran ahead of him to pick the fruits. Originally We just picked it, but when we picked the fruit, we encountered wild animals. In the end, you called Matsumoto Masako to come to save us. Do you think he was happy? He planted the fruit. We are competing for grabbing the fruit. He is fast. If you think of him when you are in trouble, anyone else will get angry. To be honest, Masamoto Matsumoto ruining your reputation is considered a minor matter. At least he still came when we were forced by the purple sun to have no other way out. ”
"So I deserve to be smeared by him?"
Red Lotus Phoenix shook his head and said: "Although I can't say that you deserve it, we really don't have the position to stand up and resist. So you can't hope to get rid of this shit basin. Besides, you have no way to prove your innocence. To be honest, I feel relieved that Masamoto Matsumoto used this method to retaliate against you."
"Are you still relieved about this?" Ghost Hand Nobunaga almost made Red Lotus Phoenix angry.
Red Lotus Phoenix turned a blind eye to Ghost Hand Nobunaga's rage. She still explained to herself: "With Matsumoto Masagi's strength, it is trivial to cause trouble for us. He is holding back the breath in his heart and must vent it out. Yes. This time, it’s better for him to vent his anger in this overt way than to do evil things to you behind your back, right?”
Ghost Hand Nobunaga had held his breath when Red Lotus Phoenix started to explain, and was ready to refute her as soon as Red Lotus Phoenix shut up, but after hearing Red Lotus Phoenix's words, he had to suppress his anger. He also knew in his heart that Red Lotus Phoenix was absolutely right. Masamoto Matsumoto must vent his anger, and venting like this now is better than being tricked behind his back! After all, it is easy to dodge an open gun, but it is impossible to predict the consequences of a hidden arrow.
When Nobunaga and Nobunaga were discussing Masamoto Matsumoto's revenge, I was also chatting with Masamoto about Nobunaga. However, Nobunaga and Nobunaga were speculating on Masamoto Matsumoto. He's motive, and we are working together to smear Nobunaga. As for this method... it's actually very simple, just praise and criticize. Because of my antagonistic relationship with Japanese players, the more I praise Ghost Hand Nobunaga, the worse his image becomes in the minds of Japanese players. As for Masamoto Matsumoto, it would obviously not be appropriate for him to directly disparage Nobunaga. However, when I talked about the various "advantages" of Nobunaga, he could basically achieve it by pretending to be speechless. My purpose is gone. Anyway, most Japanese players' understanding of Nobunaga is obtained indirectly through others, and only a small number of people really hang out with Nobunaga every day. Therefore, except for a small group of people, most Japanese players do not have much ability to distinguish the things that Matsumoto Masaga and I framed for Nobunaga. Besides, Matsumoto Masaga and I didn’t talk about anything specific, we just talked about some vague conceptual things. Even if someone really wanted to get to the bottom of it, they probably wouldn’t be able to start.
"No matter what, Ghost-Hand Nobunaga is always my Yamato samurai, Ziri, please stop instigating the relationship between us." Matsumoto congratulated him after I had basically dealt with all the Ghost-Hand Nobunaga's problems. This sentence came up. Of course, Matsumoto Masako didn't really want to rehabilitate the ghost-handed Nobunaga, he just used it to clean himself up. Just now I have been talking about the "goodness" of Nobunaga, but Masamoto Matsumoto looked like he couldn't cope with it. This is equivalent to acknowledging Nobunaga's shortcomings. Now that Masamoto Matsumoto suddenly said this, not only will it not make people think that Nobunaga's problem is fake, but it can prove that Nobunaga's problem does exist, so Masamoto Matsumoto has to "force" it. End this topic. Moreover, Matsumoto Masaru's saying this can also prove that he is very generous. After all, most Japanese players can guess that Nobunaga is the fruit of Masamoto's labor this time, so Masamoto Matsumoto's ability to speak for Nobunaga at this time can be regarded as repaying evil with kindness.
"Okay, your internal unity is your business, but we must win this duel today."
"You want to win?" Masamoto Matsumoto said with a very dismissive look: "You are like this, I really want to know how you are going to win?"
"Of course I will learn from your methods." The person who answered Matsumoto's congratulations was not me, but a gold coin that suddenly jumped from the sky onto a rock near us. At this time, Masamoto Matsumoto immediately pretended to be surprised and looked around the situation, and realized that he had just discovered that Kristina and the others had surrounded him. Of course, in fact, Masamoto Matsumoto actually knew that everyone was coming, but he couldn't say it.
In the battle just now, Masamoto Matsumoto stabbed me through with his Light Divine Sword. This was basically a victory over me, so the first step of our plan was completed. What needs to be done next is to plan the second step, which is to complete our strategic goal - to kill Matsumoto Masa and achieve final victory. Of course, in order to ensure that Masamoto Matsumoto is proud of his defeat, I cannot kill him alone. However, in fact, I really can't kill Matsumoto Masa alone now. In fact, the battle just now was not completely fake, because I knew that Masa Matsumoto was very powerful after acquiring the inherited attributes, so I didn't hold back at all when we first fought. We just wanted to test whether Masamoto Matsumoto could beat me in this state. But facts have proven that no matter how strong I am, there is a limit. After inheriting the attributes of twenty-one people, Matsumoto Masa's combat power has far exceeded mine, unless there are two or three more who are similar in strength to me. The people besieged Matsumoto Masagi together, otherwise it would be impossible to defeat him. No matter how much emphasis is placed on fighting skills in "Zero", it is still a game. Once the attribute value reaches a certain level, it will have the effect of reducing ten skills with one force, and Matsumoto Masaru is almost in this state now.
"They actually bully the smaller ones with more people." After seeing Masamoto Matsumoto being surrounded, the Japanese players who were watching the game all shouted nervously. I have to say that there are still many people who use double standards to judge things. Anyway, the Japanese players watching the game are basically such people. Otherwise, how come a group of experts from their country gathered around me and didn't see them? They said they were bullying others. Less?
Although Masamoto Matsumoto knew that the next step would be to die generously, he still had to say something in the scene, and he had to say it heroically. So he first glanced at the circle of us surrounding him with a contemptuous look, and then asked me disdainfully: "Do you think you can defeat me who has integrated twenty-one attributes?" ?”
"How will you know if you don't try?"
