Chapter 56: The Logic of the Abyss
Chapter 56: The Logic of the Abyss
In the evening, the setting sun melts gold.
Jiang He returned to the camp carrying the Scarlet Baptism. After becoming a Blood Bat Knight, his agility attribute increased by two points. His speed and reaction became sharper, and his running ability completely entered the inhuman realm beyond the theoretical limits of ordinary people. When he accelerated to the peak in a straight line, the trees on both sides left afterimages in his peripheral vision and quickly retreated.
When the men entered the camp, the guards saw the captain's epaulettes on their khaki uniforms and immediately lowered their guns to let them through. In contrast to the apparent leniency, in secret, several snipers were always keeping a close eye on the passers-by.
A lieutenant from the Lemon family came forward to greet them.
"Master Rhine, please follow me. The Count is waiting for you."
Jiang He nodded and followed the other party's pace. So far, Wuhe has not found any trace of the violator. The hunting mission revealed that the target holds a high position in the Prussian Sword of the Reverse Tree, which is an extraordinary intelligence organization built mainly by knights. The more critical the battle situation in Lewa City is, the more likely the target is to show up. After all, the British army has reasons to win here.
In front of a large military tent at the edge of the camp, a young woman also in khaki military uniform is patiently carving a revolver. The setting sun shines on her, as if inlaying a golden edge, giving people the illusion that the woman will continue carving even if the end of the world comes.
The lieutenant saluted and stood aside.
After a second or a few minutes, Jiang He said indifferently: "I'm sorry to disturb your interest. Why don't we talk about the murderer of your father? This is why I am standing here instead of somewhere else."
With a bang, the revolver shattered into pieces, and the complex alchemical pattern was carved halfway and became useless.
The countess looked up, her face wrapped in bandages. She seemed to be indifferent to the failure and the death of the old count. When she saw the hands chosen by her uncle, her strange eyes that looked like both swords and flower petals showed surprise.
After a while, she said in a cold voice, "In terms of taste, I can't compare to you who wears a monocle."
The lieutenant promptly handed over a letter with more detailed information.
The Countess continued, "Cheetah Knight, specializes in speed, has an extraordinary sense of smell, has black tear lines extending from his eyes to his mouth, is highly resistant to sunlight and illusion abilities, and his hunting instincts have helped several generations of Cheetah Knights escape certain death in history. His weapon is a secret treasure-level dagger, and the wounds it inflicts will produce two different types of freezing phenomena, which can be used to hinder movement or stop bleeding... I'm so jealous, what a convenient weapon."
Jiang He narrowed her eyes. It seemed that this guy was not very familiar with her own father.
"If he had excellent intuition, I might not be able to successfully snipe him."
"That's your problem."
The countess cleared her throat, then spoke in a voice as sweet as a stream, her flower sword eyes slowly rotating.
The second lieutenant not far away closed his eyes tightly and even covered his ears.
"You're wearing a military uniform, and I'm wearing a military uniform."
"We are all British soldiers in uniform."
Jiang He suddenly realized and said with a complicated expression: "So you are my friend."
[Hint: You are being attacked by Hypnosis Abyss Logic Disease]
[Hint: Mental attributes and resistance immunity fail to affect]
[Hint: You have fallen into logical confusion]
Surrounded by the chilly, dark forest, the Countess's voice sounded particularly pleasant.
"Your eyesight is fine, and my eyesight is fine."
"We are all good people who don't need to wear glasses."
Jiang He responded vaguely, but did not respond. The Countess smiled, and her flower sword eyes bloomed immediately, like a sea of flowers and swords.
"We are friends, and we are good people."
"So can you take off your monocle?"
The lieutenant began to run frantically into the distance and kept picking his eyeballs, trying to find the non-existent monocle. The three guardian earls of the King's Shield were the strongest barrier of the Platinum Palace. Among them, the Black Knight supervised the cabinet and the parliament. Even the king was unwilling to get close to this monster.
Jiang He remained silent.
The Countess frowned. The Abyss Logic Disease had been activated three times in a row, which had temporarily blurred her vision. The other party was simply a stubborn person. They had become friends, but taking off his glasses was like asking for his life.
"We are friends, and we are good people."
"So I'm going to take off your monocle."
The countess stood up and stepped forward, but just as she got close, Jiang He thrust out with the spear in his hand. The blood light containing the corrosive force was splashed like a mad dragon. The bright force struck with the whole body as one. The agility attribute of up to 12 points made the attack extremely swift, bringing out a shrill scream.
The Changhen Spear pierced the countess's heart, and the next second, her body shattered into pieces. At the door of the military tent, the blurry figure gradually solidified, as if a layer of camouflage had been torn off.
The Countess looked at the other person deeply. As long as someone threatened her, she would kill him even if he was a friend or a good person. This was the nature of the other person.
[Hint: You have resolved the Abyss Logic Disease]
The next second, a small crow fell from the sky, and two black gems fell to the ground, causing a violent explosion.
The heat radiation ignited the military tents and trees, and the shock wave swept in all directions, tearing apart the layers of images left by the hypnosis. Next to the military tent, a huge lemon suddenly appeared and bore the impact, its skin shattered. The countess groaned, propped herself up, and vomited blood mixed with internal organs. She quickly drank two bottles of small healing potions, and her pale face slowly recovered.
A large number of soldiers surrounded them. The second lieutenant was blown away and fell into coma. The middle-aged colonel looked anxious. If his brother and eldest son and daughter had not all died, he would never help the monster in the family to inherit the position of head of the family. But this does not mean that the head of the Lemon family can die casually.
Jiang He took out the cinnabar mirror to hypnotize himself. The next time he showed mental abnormality, he would indiscriminately kill all living things he saw, except for some special cases.
"Don't move, both of you!" the middle-aged colonel said sternly, and the soldiers all raised their rifles.
"Can you please not be so nervous?" The Countess walked over leisurely. "We were just saying hello."
The middle-aged colonel instinctively took two steps back, turned around and snatched the guard's rifle and held it in his hand, his eyes filled with incomparable fear. Even if the other party was his niece, a monster was a monster, with a terrifying ability to distort logical thinking, and everyone feared it like a snake.
"Checia, I just came to see how you are doing. Forgive me, and don't come any closer!"
"Okay, okay." The Countess curled her lips and raised her hand to surrender. "Then just pretend nothing happened. My partner and I will continue chatting. You guys are free to do as you please."
The middle-aged colonel nodded, with a hint of guilt in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. He knew that his fear of Cecilia was deep in his bones. If it wasn't a coincidence, he might never have realized in his life that he had a habit of drinking before going to the battlefield, and he had no idea when this influence occurred.
The middle-aged colonel led his troops away without looking back.
The Countess shrugged, turned around and smiled, "Long time no see, I'm Si Ning, and it's our first meeting, I'm Cecilia, anyway, identities don't matter, in fact, my impression of you is quite faint, after all, I came here half a year ago."
