Chapter 14 There Are Many Imps in Front of the Gate of the King of Hell
As the alarm sounded, the humanoid creature in the inspection channel suddenly took off the armor he was wearing, and then revealed a large spherical object connected in series. If I hadn't already known that this guy was a terrorist and knew that they were the guys who often carried out suicide attacks, I might have thought that guy was wearing a T-shirt, because those spherical bombs looked too much like the ones on the T-shirt Floated.
The terrorist who took off his armor did not immediately detonate the bomb. Instead, he grabbed something that looked like a detonator and held it in his hand to threaten everyone. The guards around him were obviously also afraid of rats, and they only dared to hold what looked like a detonator. The staff-like thing faced him from a distance, not daring to get close.
"What's that guy holding?" I asked aloud.
The guide standing next to me pulled me to the wall and squatted down and said: "Which is the detonator? I have never seen it before, but I have heard about it. It looks the same as the description. It is said that that thing is the same as an electronic detonator. Same thing, once you pinch it, you can't let it go. Once you let go, it will explode immediately."
"Do you know how that thing detonates the bomb? I don't see any connecting line between the detonator and the bomb?"
The guide shook his head and said: "I'm not a terrorist, how could I know about those things? Besides, since that thing is a wireless detonation, it must be a very secret way to ensure that the signal is not interfered with. I guess even the terrorist himself may not know it!"
I thought about it and expressed my understanding. Then he asked: "Can you talk to the guards over there and let us help? I think I should be able to stop that guy from detonating the bomb."
"Are you sure there is a way?" the guide asked.
I nodded and said, "Theoretically it should be feasible."
The guide nodded after thinking for a moment, and then waved to the guard closest to us who was holding a staff and facing us. Due to the sudden terrorist attack, the guards were now in a state of disarray. Although we people took the initiative to squat against the wall. But there were still seven or eight guards outside pointing at us with weapons like staffs just in case. Moreover, the people in the watertight cabin over there who were draining the water also stopped moving. It seemed that they planned to wait until the solution here was completed before coming in. to reduce misunderstandings.
The guard over there immediately turned his attention when he saw the guide waving. But the way they diverted their attention was to turn their weapons around. Seeing so many weapons pointed at him, the guide quickly raised his hands to show that he meant no harm. Then he said: "We just want to say that we have a way to deal with that terrorist. Do you need us to take action?"
When the guard heard this, he first looked back at the terrorist, and then said hesitantly: "Are you sure you won't detonate the bomb?" Although this is just a dedicated security area equivalent to the entrance, it is not small after all, and it is also With so many people, if they were really bombed, the losses would naturally be huge. So of course the guards hoped that the bomb would not explode.
When the guide heard what the guards said, he immediately pointed at me and said, "It's not me, it's my companions who have the means to deal with that guy."
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately turned his attention to me, and I stood up and said, "I have the ability to transform material structures. Although I don't know how the bomb works, I can turn anything into stone, so …”
"How fast is this process?" As soon as the guard heard my words, he immediately understood that the method was probably effective. After all, stones will definitely not explode, so if I can really turn the bomb into stone before the opponent detonates it. That would really solve the problem. Of course, he still needs to confirm. After all, if the transformation process is too conspicuous or too slow, it will be unacceptable. After all, terrorists are not idiots. If they find that the bomb is changing, the other party will definitely detonate the bomb immediately without hesitation.
Of course I understood the guard's question, so I explained: "The transformation process only takes a few seconds. This is the ability of my magic pet. As long as she can look directly at the target, there will be no sound and light effects."
"Then wait a moment, and I will report." The guard finally nodded, and then quickly ran to the next guard and said something. The guard turned to look at me, and then ran over quickly.
"Is it true that the method you mentioned has no sound and light effect?" The other party knew that I might be able to help them, so they were very respectful.
I nodded and said, "Yes, my demon pet can use the Eye of Stone. You should have heard of this skill, right?"
"Are you talking about the petrified eyes like Medusa?" The guards obviously knew Medusa's name.
I nodded. "It's that kind of skill, but it can not only turn living creatures into stone, but also dead objects. The speed of change varies according to the size and energy intensity of the target. The bomb doesn't look very big, and the energy induction is not very strong either. , so it should be able to be petrified instantly.”
"Then please ask your magic pet to come out and help?"
"Of course." After I said that, I snapped my fingers and summoned Ye Yue, then pointed at the target over there.
Yeyue just glanced at the target and immediately swam out from behind the crowd towards the target, and the terrorist immediately noticed the changes here. When he saw Yeyue twisting the water snake's waist and swimming toward him, he immediately began to retreat nervously. At the same time, he stretched out a hand to grab the bomb detonator and shouted something threateningly, but the language was completely incomprehensible to us, but I can probably guess what he means. It's just that if you come over again, I'll blow it up.
Hearing his words, the guards here were extremely nervous, but Yeyue did not stop at all, and then the terrorist screamed even more urgently. Finally, seeing Yeyue approaching within three meters of him, this The guy finally couldn't help but let go of the detonator, and then he shrunk his neck and prepared to close his eyes and wait for death. However, after waiting for a few seconds, he found that the expected explosion did not happen, and when he opened his eyes again, What he saw at that moment was a pair of beautiful eyes that captured the soul. Then he knew nothing.
Gently patting the stone sculpture with a shocked expression, Yeyue turned around and swam towards me. At the same time, she said to the surrounding guards: "Leave it to you."
At this time, the guards recovered from the shock, and then swarmed around the terrorist. However, after the guard at the front went up and knocked twice, he realized that it was meaningless whether to surround or not, because the stone statue would not move at all.
"What a sharp ability!" the guide who led me couldn't help but sigh.
I smiled and shook my head, and then said: "This is only a small part of her ability. If I didn't know the principle of the bomb and was afraid of accidents, I would have at least ten ways to get rid of the bomb. But now I just want to hurry up Enter the city to complete my mission.”
After hearing what I said, the guide also said: "Yes! It has been delayed for a long time, and I am still waiting to level up quickly. The monsters here are not much harder to deal with than outside, but the experience value is more than 1.5 times that of other places. Such a good leveling treasure land cannot be wasted."
In fact, because we helped capture the terrorists, we received special treatment afterwards. The guards gave us priority and did a safety check before letting us in. As for the others, it would probably take a lot of time.
Exit the security area through a pipeline and enter another isolation area. Although there are already people living here, it is still not the main city. In fact, this place is similar to a satellite city or market town surrounding a big city. To get to the city center, you have to go through a passage from here.
According to the agreement, the guide's mission is over from the moment I enter the range of Duludu. Taking me to the city is already an extra mile, so the guide sent me here and left first. The employment agreement is now complete.
My mission is to find the Archon here, and the Archon is definitely not in the surrounding city. So I still have to go to the core area.
The roads within the city are relatively easy to navigate, so I quickly entered the central city. However, there is no absolute center in Duludu. The central area here is actually five isolated areas. They are the largest in size and are located in the center of the urban agglomeration. That’s why it’s called the core area.
Since I didn’t know which core area the Archon was in, I had to ask around and look for it. Relying on my super charm and coercion, the NPCs were very cooperative in showing me the way, so I soon saw the Archon's office, but what was more depressing was that I couldn't get in.
I initially thought that the Archon in Duludu was equivalent to a mayor, but after a brief understanding here, I realized that the Archon here is actually not equivalent to the mayor but the president. Duludu is a commercial city and implements a parliamentary system. However, only major matters will be reported to the parliament for processing. Small or urgent issues are handled by the consul. Therefore, the status of the consul here is far greater than that of the mayor. Too much exaggeration.
Naturally, such a big shot is not someone who says he must meet someone if he wants to see him, so it is normal for him not to be allowed to see him. However, my current task is to see this consul, so the guard will not let him in, so I have to go elsewhere. The way to go.
The Archon's office is just a very ordinary building. Although it looks very grand, the exterior wall is just a calcified structure, which feels more like coral. Although it is quite hard, it only feels to the human hand. Even if it is Compared with real rocks, this stuff is relatively brittle, so I easily dug a hole at the back of the street and got in.
It would be very easy to break in, but judging from the mission introduction, the Archon in my mission may belong to my side or the mission issuing party, so I can't offend him now, so even if I come in, I can't hurt anyone casually, so this is decided The difficulty of my search has increased a lot.
Although it is troublesome to find the Archon, I am number one in the world's combat power list after all, and those messy summons on my body are not a good look. Tens of thousands of ghost beetles dispersed and quickly helped me find the target. However, after I found this guy, I began to regret it, because this guy was about to go out. If I had known that he would not come in, I would have just waited at the door for a while!
When I found out that the Archon was about to go out, I quickly retrieved the ghost bug and ran out through the hole in the wall, then circled back to the main road. At this time, the Archon's team had just come out of the gate, and I ran over quickly. However, when I was still more than ten steps away from the team, the two guards suddenly raised their staff-like weapons in their hands, and then pointed at them. I scolded: "Don't get close to the Archon's traveling team, stay back."
"I have a very important business with the Archon," I shouted. Although I can easily kill everyone here, and even wipe out this city is not a problem, but the other party has a mission in hand, so I can only be as polite as possible, otherwise if I get into trouble with the other party, I will not get the mission in the end. That’s terrible! I won't do things where small things cost big things.
Although I deliberately shouted loudly, hoping that the consul could hear me, there was no response at all. Instead, the two guards at the front of the team came over. One of the guys pointed at me from a distance and yelled: "Leave if I ask you to. Don't make any noise. If you make trouble again, don't blame us for being rude."
"You're already very rude. I just have something to do with the Archon, so don't go too far."
The other party's captain of the consul's guard was much more arrogant than the guards outside the city. Think about it, the head of the president's bodyguard and the team leader of the border checkpoint, although the nature of their work is similar, their status and status are definitely very different. However, although I can understand why this guy is so arrogant, it does not mean that I will tolerate him.
Although my answer was not too unpleasant, the meaning of the rebuttal was quite obvious. The guy with the eyes on the top of his head immediately became angry, and then he rushed over and knocked me down with the staff in his hand.
Looking at the staff that was smashed down, I quickly grasped the staff. No matter how hard the opponent tried, he couldn't shake it at all.
"Speak properly. For the sake of the Archon, I won't care this time. Don't blame me for being rude if you attack me again." Even though I need the Archon mission, I don't intend to really keep my voice down and become a slave.
Although my warning was obvious, the identity of the other party determined that he would not take my words seriously, so instead of stopping the attack, he directly activated the staff with greater intensity. In an instant, I felt an energy reaction on the staff, and then a stream of energy flowed along the body of the staff from the bottom to the blue crystal stone on the top of the staff, and the energy intensity seemed to increase as the energy flow went up. is increasing rapidly. Finally, when the energy flow entered the crystal on the top of the staff, the crystal on the top of the staff immediately lit up, and then a blue laser line shot out and hit me between the eyebrows. However, the result of what was originally a sure-fire blow was completely beyond these people's expectations. (To be continued)rq
