Chapter 37 The Name of Shadow

Meimei's type is originally the kind of character who comes and goes like the wind. She gives people the impression that she is an assassin type player, and her actions are very strange. Although the fighting venue had been specially renovated and was about five times the size of the boxing ring, as Meimei ran and attacked with all her strength, it seemed as if there were many phantoms appearing on the entire venue.

Special Forces Murphy, however, remained calm. He covered his chest with his arms and stepped back step by step until his back was against the thick elastic guardrail pillar for protection. His body also squatted down. If the entire venue is a square, , then Murphy's position at this time is among the corners of the square.

According to the rules of the competition, contestants will be forced to lose regardless of any part of their body that touches any part outside the arena. Therefore, Murphy acted very cautiously and was able to focus on the defense in front of him. Don’t be distracted by Meimei’s dazzling movements. At the same time, it can also be seen that Murphy probably has a very powerful close combat skill, but his attack surface is very narrow, so he takes such a defensive stance.

But Meimei still rushed forward!

Her movement is very fast, and every move and jump will cause many afterimages to appear in the eyes of ordinary people. (Of course she can't compare with Kagura. Even Fang Lin's Eye of the Fool couldn't see Kagura's afterimage.) I saw the shadows in the whole place shaking. Lin Yinxiu, the most agile among the three Fang Lins, could clearly see Seeing that Meimei was rushing forward at high speed, running towards Murphy head-on, and then when she was about five meters away from the enemy He suddenly jumped to the left, climbed onto the thick elastic rope fence next to him with both hands, and used the extremely elastic and tough guardrail like a bowstring to fly out of the fighting arena. He kicked right in the air and hit the target with one kick. Murphy, who was concentrating on guarding the front, hit the back of his head, and then flew to the ground with the force of the guardrail!

The audience cheered loudly after this kick. It was a real feast for the eyes to witness this kind of kung fu that usually requires the help of computer stunts.

"What? You said it's so strange that you see more outrageous actions than this in blockbusters? The pirated concert disc only costs ten yuan and three, but the tickets to watch the concert in person cost hundreds and thousands. Yes, the picture shows the atmosphere with one’s own eyes.”

One audience member was excited.

"It's worth it, it's worth it! It's not in vain."

But Fang Lin frowned slightly. That beautiful kick was actually limited by the pullback force of the guardrail, so the power was not too great. The intention is to intimidate rather than harm, which is equivalent to warning others: Hey, don’t think that I can’t hit you if you hide nearby. Come out obediently and compete with me.

Murphy, who had been kicked, still huddled in the fence, like a silent and hard stone. It seemed as if it was not Murphy who kicked Meimei, but Meimei who was kicked by Murphy in return.

Meimei covered her face with frost and took another run. She stepped on the smooth and elastic ring board, and then climbed up the thick elastic rope guardrail on the right again with both hands. Just at this moment, Murphy, a special soldier who was squatting half-crouched, also moved.

The muscles on his hairy legs tightened, and then exploded instantly, and his whole body flipped in a circle at a rickety angle. But the powerful legs wrapped in camouflage military trousers cut through the air like iron knives, and even cut out a half-moon-shaped sword light more than three meters long!

Foot knife!

This kick cut off the elastic guardrail that Meimei used to draw strength! Then the remaining force passed over her shoulders and chest, and the blood instantly stained half of the beautiful body red. But the broken elastic guardrail is more like a half-length rope with excellent elasticity, which actually helps Meimei's offense.

She kicked Murphy in the throat, but Murphy blocked it with a backhand. He even counterattacked with a punch.

This punch hit the broken elastic guardrail that Meimei was pulling on. His arm was immediately bruised, and a look of pain appeared on his face. Meimei had already somersaulted in the air and landed behind him, and Murphy had just turned around. He was knocked down by Meimei's kick. When his strong and burly body lost his balance and fell to the ground, Meimei had already turned around and kicked him in the face, kicking Murphy away seven or eight meters. The movements were done in one go, as if they were flowing like clouds and flowing water, and they won a lot of cheers from the audience.

After Murphy fell to the ground, he immediately turned around and rolled over, and white light appeared on his hands. It looked like she was about to put her hands together to create a spinning white half-moon energy, but after Meimei kicked that kick, she immediately made a movement that looked like a horse stance and a half-squat, although it was in full view of everyone. . Her delicate body half-crouched and half-crouched silently on the floor of the arena, as if it could attract all the light, so that she looked like an ethereal and invisible shadow!

Before Murphy took action, Meimei had already pulled out the flying knives from the knife pouch hidden behind her back, and aimed at Murphy continuously and flew towards him!

This is Meimei's main skill: flying knife throwing level 7. Instantly throws 5 flying knives to cause continuous damage to the enemy. The damage value of each throwing knife is Agility x5. Cooling time 60 seconds.

Level 4 also has the effect that after the thrown knife hits the enemy, there is a 50% chance of causing bleeding damage that lasts for 10 seconds. The damage value is 15 points/second.

level7 comes with effects. Makes the flying knife fly 100% faster. And each flying knife will generate a phantom, which has no lethality.

Meimei's flying knife is her highest skill. When she was abducted by the wretched Fu, her flying knife skill was only level 3. At this time, the flying knife she threw gave people the illusion that the knife was "alive". The flying knife flew in the air, and an illusory shadow appeared around it. Murphy just got kicked by Meimei, and he felt that his eyes were black and he couldn't breathe, but the flying knives came one after another. He didn't even have time to catch his breath, but he could only roll on the ground to dodge and didn't dare to take it hard.

But the other four flying knives had already stabbed at him. It sank and floated in the air, twisted and turned, and dragged a phantom behind it, making it difficult to judge its trajectory. The flying knives flew faster and faster. After Murphy knocked three of them away, he missed one, which turned into a stream of light and flew directly over his shoulder. A deep blood hole was pierced!

A stream of blood like a red snake slithered down. Murphy saw Meimei reaching for her back again, and he roared in panic, leaped up and pounced, protecting his face, throat, and vital parts of his lower body, but not caring about other parts.

The distance between the two was more than ten meters. But Murphy must have used some skills, so he could jump such a long distance. The audience outside the venue was naturally exclaiming loudly, thinking that they had seen another world record-breaking jump.

But Meimei did not shoot the flying knife.

She bent down slightly again, bent her knees, squatted down, and clearly accumulated strength, making a ready-to-go action.

Some of Meimei's fans screamed excitedly:

"Kick him. Kick him!"

Murphy stretched his legs forward and kicked Meimei hard. He had studied the battle video of this woman before. If this woman used that move again, he had enough changes to deal with her.

Meimei did kick, but her legs hooked from bottom to top. It felt quite flexible, like two rubber bands wrapped around Murphy's thick thighs, and then kicked him away.

This is another skill of Meimei: level 4 hook kick.

Using the soft waist strength of the body, kick the enemy away with legs from bottom to top. The damage value is 350 points + (self-agility enemy's agility) x20. And stun for 3 seconds. The cooldown time is 120 seconds.

Level 4 additional effect: the critical hit rate of the hook kick increases by 23% when it is launched.

Although Murphy was hit, he didn't feel that he was hurt too much. After the two approached at this time, he also found that Meimei's panting was clearly audible, and the blood on the wound on her chest and shoulder had not dried yet, and it was obvious that blood was still oozing out. It can be seen that if the fight continues, this woman will definitely not be able to outlast him.

But Meimei walked in front of Murphy calmly. Although Murphy maintained a defensive posture at this time, he could not move at all because he was in a three-second dizzy state.

Meimei smiled coldly. She stretched out her left hand and slapped him. Murphy suddenly remembered something, which immediately made the hairs all over his body stand up!

Because Murphy was standing at the edge of the ring, there was originally a strong guardrail rope pulling it, but it was cut off by Murphy's foot knife at the beginning. In other words, Meimei's slap, which did not take much effort, made his center of gravity tilted and fell to the bottom of the ring. Murphy, who was in a dizzy state, could only watch himself fall to the ground.

This was not a life-and-death battle. It was a ring match. Once you touch the place outside the ring. It means being passed out.

Meimei vs. Murphy.

Meimei won.

……………

Another person in Murphy's team stood up, the anger in his eyes almost swallowed Meimei, and he came to the stage one step ahead, pointed his finger at Meimei who was bandaging her wound, and then made a provocative gesture.

Wasteful Fu directly spit at him... Because the break time was only fifteen minutes, the referee came to urge Meimei to go on stage after seeing that Meimei's wound was bandaged. Fang Lin said lightly:

"No need, she gave up, our second person will go on stage."

As soon as Fang Lin finished speaking, Hu Huahao stood up. His body and demeanor gave people a very strong impact. The usually stingy wretched Fu was out of character at this time, and shouted loudly with wealth and power:

"Beat this guy so that he can't take care of himself! I'll pay a big price!"

There is no need to say more about the next process, because it was not a fight of the same level at all. Lao Hu fought for a total of 21 seconds in the two games. As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a big reward. The two people who fought with Lao Hu were not able to escape unscathed, and the lightest one had to stay in the hospital for half a year.

After Fang Lin and his party successfully obtained the official invitation letter of the KOF conference, they received the reminder of the nightmare mark:

You have obtained the side mission 2: Try to get a place in the KOF96 conference. The higher the ranking, the greater the reward.

Tip: Side mission 2 will be counted 24 hours after the end of the KOF96 conference, and all reincarnations will be forced to return to the nightmare space.

Even so, Fang Lin and the others were not the first to get the official invitation letter from the conference. There are many people who are more high-profile than them, and all the people in the Chosen League have qualified without exception, but this guy Lei Luo is very low-key. However, it does not rule out the possibility of hiding strength and preserving spirit.

The formal invitation was issued by Kagura Chizuru herself. This was her temporary decision, because for her, she was not very optimistic about this new group of people, but unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of surprises and surprises in this audition. There are quite a few unknown players who have emerged, and they are very strong. They are probably not inferior to the official players of the previous conference.

Kagura Chizuru's purpose in hosting the kof96 conference is not to compete for power. But I heard the news that the Heavenly Gods are about to make a move. On the one hand, they want to lure Iori Yagami to use his artifact, the Eight-foot Gouqiong Jade, to combine the power of the three artifacts to seal the Heavenly Gods. On the other hand, they hope to attract the powerful people from participating in the KOF conference. If the outstanding figures selected among them are unwilling to cooperate, then they will have to use the power of these powerful people to deal with the eight heroes of the Celestial God Clan!

As for the question of whether others would be willing to be used by her, Kagura didn't think too much about it. The reason was simple. The world is bustling with people, busy for nothing more than fame and fortune. If it was profitable, Kagura could easily satisfy their demands. The name is even simpler. Kagura can convene such a conference that gathers the world's attention, and it is obviously very easy to make someone famous. Even if there are some people who are not moved by fame and fortune, they are probably a small number.

The last time I saw Kagura Chizuru Fang Lin, I only saw it from a distance, but this time I could get up close and personal. After all, the badge for participating in the kof conference was awarded by Kagura, and everyone stepped forward to receive it.

When Fang Lin stepped forward to receive the badge. He secretly used the Eye of the Fool. He originally wanted to detect it quietly, but after getting within one meter of Kagura's body, a ripple like an undercurrent suddenly appeared. There were layers of people crowding around the two of them. For a moment, the lights all around and the sounds of conversations and coughs seemed to stop and then resume.

In this brief moment, Fang Lin felt as if he had hit a giant tree head-on. There was an illusion in his eyes that he didn't know whether it was real or illusory: behind Kagura, there was a girl with the same black hair and white clothes standing side by side with her. This scene was so mysterious that Fang Lin could even feel in his mind the way the girl looked at him angrily with her eyebrows raised!

All this is a long story, but in fact, in the eyes of others, Fang Lin went up to get the badge, and then paused in front of Kagura Chizuru. I don't know whether he was frightened by the beauty of the beautiful chairman or whether he was gifted with lust and did it on purpose. The feelings that Fang Lin experienced were only known to him and Kagura Chizuru. They were the so-called feelings that could only be understood but not expressed in words.

Fang Lin smiled bitterly after taking the badge. Because he received another reminder from the nightmare mark:

"Kagura Chizuru's dislike for you has increased."

"Your favorability with the Kagura Foundation is now neutral, and you are only 10 points away from the enemy. It is recommended to quickly repair the relationship with the Kagura Foundation. If your relationship with the Kagura Foundation becomes hostile, you will be forcibly kicked out of kof96 General Assembly."

10 points of favorability is probably equivalent to Fang Lin going to the corridor and slapping a random Kagura Foundation employee, or teasing the front desk lady. When he first entered, his relationship with the Kagura Foundation was also neutral. It's just 2800/3000. As long as it increases by another 200 points, it becomes friendly. Fang Lin's relationship at this time was 10/3000. This shows how costly it was for him to offend Kagura Chizuru.

It is worth mentioning that the relationship between Hu Huahao and Lin Yinxiu and the Kagura Consortium has actually increased to more than half the level of respect. Because the Kagura family and the Kusanagi family have always had a very good relationship and share information, it can be seen that they captured Wei Si, one of the Eight Masters, and gave it to Kusanagi Shibune. Obviously, if Lao Hu and Lin Ginxiu didn't negotiate conditions with Kusanagi Shibafune, it might be difficult to directly raise their reputation to worship.

But in Fang Lin's plan, he didn't care about this reputation. Otherwise, why would he try every possible means to avoid the confrontation with Wei Si, and why would he go to great lengths to let Hu Huahao and Lin Yinxiu go to bargain with Kusanagi Shibune?

Lin Yinxiu and Kagura Chizuru are quite compatible. They are both the chairman of a huge consortium. They are similar in age and have independent personalities. Therefore, Kagura Chizuru specially invited Lin Yinxiu to go there when he was free in the afternoon. Enjoy tea. Fang Lin would definitely not miss this great opportunity to explore the inside of the Kagura family, and Lin Yinxiu immediately agreed.

After the kof badges were distributed, Fang Lin immediately rushed back to the hotel room. Although it was just a glimpse before, the image of the girl behind Kagura had been deeply engraved in Fang Lin's mind. He immediately found a pencil and painted the image of the girl with a few strokes. out. Although Fang Lin doesn't know how to draw, his abnormal memory makes him like a copy machine. Although he doesn't talk about charm, style or shadow at all, he can perfectly reproduce memories on paper.

As the girl's image slowly appeared on the paper, it looked like an ID card photo. It can be seen that her eyebrows are quite similar to Kagura Chizuru, but she looks more mature and graceful.

“Could it be…” Fang Lin suddenly remembered a piece of information he had seen before: “She is Kagura Chizuru’s deceased sister, Kagura Banke? She is the mirror spirit that exists based on the Yata Mirror? This is probably the reason why Kagura Chizuru’s strength reached its peak in 1996!”
