Chapter 292 A Relationship on the Verge of Freezing Point
Chen Ke was walking fast on the street. At this moment, his cell phone suddenly vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was Lucina's call.
"Have you finished your business?" Lucina's voice came from the other end of the phone, low and hoarse, with a Latin accent.
"When are you going to have dinner? I'm on Lafite Road. What do you like to eat? You can book a good seat first." Chen Ke replied.
He had never met a girl before, and his experience of having dinner together was limited to department team building, so he felt a little tricky for a while.
"I think you should prefer the Phoenix restaurant. If it were you, what kind of restaurant would you choose?" Lucina smiled and asked back.
"I don't mind eating anything... It's up to you tonight." Chen Ke said, looking up and avoiding a pedestrian.
"You're giving me a headache. I'm not very good at choosing restaurants." Chen Ke said.
"Well... coincidence, I'm not very good at it either. Maybe you can ask your friend named Diana. She should know where couples are suitable for dating." Lucina smiled.
"Oh, good idea, but I don't really want her to know who I'm going to date." Chen Ke smiled.
"Why?" Lucina asked back.
"Why?" Chen Ke said.
"Aren't you and her friends who can talk about anything?" Lucina sneered.
"You seem to have made a mistake, girl. And as far as I know, it's been a month since the bank robbery, and you still remember that incident..." Chen Ke said.
"What happened after that? Mr. Madfak? You told me that you experienced something with her again. Who knows what it was, maybe it was pleasant and comfortable for you." Lucina said.
"That's not the point, Lucina, let's talk about what to eat tonight..." Chen Ke didn't want to explain to Lucina.
"Maybe you have asked her the same question, maybe she will be more patient than discussing it with me." Lucina smiled.
"Damn, Lucina, let's not go around in circles on this matter, it's not an important matter." Chen Ke sighed.
"It's important, more important than you think." Lucina said seriously.
"I'll explain to you after dinner, but just this once, Lucina, just this once." Chen Ke said.
"I've changed my mind, Chen Ke, let's go drink tonight, I don't have much appetite today." Lucina said. From the other end of the phone, Chen Ke heard the sound of the packaging bag being torn open.
"It's up to you, which bar? What time?" Chen Ke asked.
"9 o'clock in the evening, in the Innsmouth Bar in the Deep Anchor District, you have Google Maps on your phone, right? I don't think I need to help you find the way." Lucina said, and the sound of potato chips being chewed came.
"No problem, I'm not a child." Chen Ke snorted.
"It's still early, you still have time, Mr. Madfak, you can do whatever you want, I'm far away, I won't stop you." Lucina said sarcastically, and then hung up the phone.
"Ah... patience... patience..." Chen Ke squeezed the phone and put it back in his pocket. He felt that Lucina's emotions were a little close to hysteria.
To be fair, Chen Ke didn't owe her anything, didn't do anything to her, and saved her on the contrary.
For a long time after the rescue operation, Chen Ke got into a lot of trouble. He couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for Lucina.
This Latino girl, whether in appearance or figure, was actually quite pleasing to Chen Ke. She was full of strength and wildness, and her figure was like a model on a gym poster, and at the same time, she often inadvertently revealed the mental retardation and stupidity of a little girl.
Diana gave Chen Ke a different feeling. If Lucina was a violent girl with an adult body and a girl's mentality, then Diana was a naive woman who was impartial, inflexible, but had a blind heart of justice.
Chen Ke's feelings for Lucina were ambiguous, and he couldn't say it directly, but he wouldn't deny it. As for Diana, there was only respect, admiration and friendship. Diana would be a powerful ally, and her identity and connections would be useful to Chen Ke.
Chen Ke had never been close to a girl, and he didn't know whether he was suitable for such a thing in his current state. However, he still considered this matter seriously. He didn't want to drag Lucina into his troubles.
In the realm of the extraordinary, the guns in Lucina's hands were useless. She would be torn into pieces by all kinds of strange things. Those monsters would chew her muscles, devour her internal organs, and drink her blood without hesitation.
He couldn't fight against strange things while protecting his friends far away. Now, Lucina was not his weak point. Although he was very close, it was not good.
Only cold-blooded people could touch the extraordinary in this dangerous world. Involving too many worldly emotions would make oneself weak. There was only a line between the extraordinary and the ordinary. Chen Ke's left foot and right foot occupied one side, and he couldn't decide which leg to move.
When the upper limit of lifespan reached 135 hours, Chen Ke felt that his state seemed to be completely renewed. This was not referring to psychologically. After all, when the upper limit was only 20 hours, Chen Ke did not have too much anxiety, because people have strong adaptability. Once they accept the setting, they feel fine...
The biggest change is actually physiological. Chen Ke has no heart, but at this moment, he always feels as if he hears some kind of pulse.
It was not a heartbeat, but some kind of energy pulse, pulsating sometimes weak and sometimes strong. He covered his chest and still could not feel the beating from inside, but he could feel that the pulse was there.
At the same time, he also mastered a new ability. After the blond young man was touched by him, he fell into a state of time suspension. This state would consume Chen Ke's lifespan, which was equivalent to Chen Ke depriving the other party of the flow of time with his own lifespan.
Of course, this consumption was also very cruel, because after pausing a certain person, Chen Ke was consuming his lifespan twice per second.
But it must be said that this ability was just like God. No matter how strong the enemy was, as long as he was touched by himself, any speed, strength, and energy advantages would not be a problem. The opponent would be like a statue, waiting for Chen Ke to destroy it. Even if he could not beat the opponent, he could freeze and escape.
Not only the attack behavior, this ability has many uses to be developed. If the brain hole is big enough, he can do anything.
Chen Ke suddenly had an idea and picked up a piece of discarded newspaper on the ground. He concentrated his mind and produced a thin film on his right hand.
The originally wrinkled newspaper immediately held its shape after being touched by the right hand of the car shell. He waved the corner of the newspaper left and right, but he saw that the newspaper was not disturbed by the air and still maintained the wrinkles after being timed.
Chen Ke held the newspaper in his hand again and squeezed it into a paper ball. When the time pause ended, the newspaper still remained in the state of a paper ball. It seems that only he can change the shape of the target after the time stop.
He threw the paper ball at the trash can next to him, and the moment it left his hand, he activated the time pause ability again.
Originally thought that the paper ball would stay in the air, but it still drew an arc and fell into the trash can.
Chen Ke understood that his ability to stop time only affects the target itself, not the acceleration state of the target. In other words, if a psychic wants to charge himself, he pauses the opponent's time at the moment of being hit. The opponent will still rush out due to inertia, but his body will remain in the state of charging and fly out and fall to the ground.
"This ability still has its limitations, but it is already good enough." Chen Ke commented.
