Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 93 26. Ah, you're playing the "borrowing power" trick again, right? Bad Land Naruto!
After Zhou Ke temporarily retreated, the attacked Acholi operators quickly searched the surroundings. They found the Acholi assassin who had died from a pierced eyeball, and also found the exploded vehicle and the damaged windbreaker dropped by Zhou Ke in the distance.

The captain of this team of elite operators has been killed, so the psychic in the team is now the commander. Although he is a psychic, he does not wear a robe, nor does he dress as exaggeratedly as the Tiger State Psychic. Judging from his appearance alone, this guy is no different from other operators.

Wearing the same protective gear and carrying the same rifle.

The only difference is that he wears special gauntlets, in which is embedded a rather delicate mechanical hourglass.

This thing is his "magic weapon".

"The target is nearby! But the information we got is obviously outdated."

The Psychic of the Instant Light Organization, wearing a tactical mask, frowned and said to the other team members:

"The explosion was enough to kill him, but he was still alive and kicking, and could walk in the astral plane like our shadow walkers and use special assassination weapons. He obviously also has some special psionic talent, perhaps simulation, or learning.
In short, we can no longer assess the danger of this operation based on the original intelligence.

This important information must be sent back to headquarters to update the target's intelligence to prevent similar incidents from happening again. The current wanted level is not enough to summarize the target's danger.

The tracking force must be upgraded.

I suggest you evacuate immediately!

The other party wanted to break through, but without the sentinels, we couldn't stop him. Maybe he has already escaped, and the capture operation has failed. "

"Can't we ask for backup?"

A muscular fireman carrying two combat axes said in a muffled voice:

"There should be other action teams nearby, maybe we can."

"The signal is blocked."

The skilled psychic checked his tablet, shook his head and said:

"The hunter AI released by the organization failed to complete the mission. The other party's special intelligence started to act again. It blocked the information transmission and we were isolated. It seems that the target is planning to kill us with the help of the upcoming reinforcements. It is really a difficult enemy.

Retreat.

This time we failed.

But it doesn’t matter, time is on our side.”

"If we retreat with such heavy casualties, our operational rating will definitely be downgraded when we return."

One of the commandos sighed and said:
"I don't want to be sent to Time Labyrinth No. 11 to die. That damn place has already swallowed up many of our brothers. How about we try again? With your psychic skills, maybe we can catch him?
All it takes is one misstep for you to pull him out of hiding, and once he returns to the material world, we have a very good chance of capturing him."

“I don’t think this is the right decision.”

The psychic in the Shining Organization seemed to have a high status. Facing the request of other operators, he rejected the proposal and said:
"This failure is not due to your incompetence, but a problem with the intelligence! Commander Roger is a reasonable man. He will not lower your rating for this reason, nor will he send you to the time maze.

Elite team members still have this privilege, the most they can get is to be transferred to guard the warehouse."

Uh, this is a bit too much. Did everyone join the Shunguang Organization really for their ideals and world peace?
Aren’t we all just trying to make a living?
With such a stain on their resumes, these operators are doomed to have a bleak future. This evil land is in dire need of everything else except desperate criminals. Therefore, in this situation, it is obvious that others feel they can still fight.

During this hesitation, Zhou Ke, who was hiding, launched another attack.

A silent bullet was fired from a high ground in the distance, hitting the burly firepower operator in the back. Blood spurted out and the opponent screamed, but for the biochemical warrior with highly enhanced instant organization, this injury was obviously not fatal.

"He missed!"

The breakthrough man shouted and fired bullets in that direction, but the bullets from the material world obviously could not harm the assassin in the spiritual world.

The other operators became alert, but the psychic they were protecting frowned. He took one look at the firepower operator's injuries and immediately understood Zhou Ke's sinister intentions.

That guy missed the target!

He did it on purpose.

If he killed these team members, he would definitely use time power to change their status and make them "alive", but if they were just injured, there would be no need to waste precious power. However, injuries would seriously weaken his own combat effectiveness, and Zhou Ke's reinforcements were approaching.

Once their combat effectiveness is weakened to a certain extent, what awaits them is total annihilation.

"We can't stay here anymore! Let's go!"

The psychic immediately took his team members to their evacuation point. Zhou Ke was alone, so he could only hide and attack by surprise and did not dare to confront them head-on.

Now that his sinister intentions have been seen through, the decision to be made at this point is clear.

However, Zhou Ke still had a way. The second shot fired, and this time it pierced the breakthrough man's ankle, causing the latter to scream and temporarily lose the ability to move. He could only be dragged forward by the firepower man who was injured in the back. The third shot pierced the medic's wrist, forcing the psychic to use "time rewind" to restore the three wounded to normal.

The capacity of the small hourglass on his gauntlet was thus consumed again, which made him feel a sense of urgency.

Just like a noose getting tighter and tighter around his neck, the psychic realized that the elite team members around him could not be his helpers in this situation, but instead became Zhou Ke's "teammates" in a sense.

Time is indeed his friend, but even the best friend cannot always save him from danger.

Especially after Zhou Ke fired another shot, shooting the female medic in the head, the pressure finally reached its peak. The psychic looked at the medic twitching on the ground beside him, and the other operators also stared at him eagerly.

He can save people, but should he?

The psionicist hourglass distributed by the Flash Organization can be used six times. He has already used it three times. After its psionic energy is exhausted, he will have to use his own psionic energy to manipulate time, but that is a very dangerous behavior. Once he overdraws, he will fall into an irretrievable desperate situation.

"What are you waiting for?"

The fireman scolded:

"I know that your ability to go back in time to save people is limited. In another ten seconds she really won't be saved!"

"You do not understand!"

Sweat oozed from the forehead of the Flash Psionicist. He looked at the half-empty hourglass on his gauntlet and said through gritted teeth:

"We can't save them! If we try to save them, we'll be finished."

"She has saved us from death at least three times! Just try not to save her!"

The firepower operator turned his gun around, and the other operators looked at the psychic with a subtle look.

These low-level operators who are in charge of operations do not interact often with higher-ranking psychics on a daily basis. The two sides belong to different systems and there is no comradeship between them. The previous complaints from the commandos show that the management of their operators by the Flash Organization is quite harsh. The behavior of constantly sending people to Time Maze No. 11 to die during this period has also aroused some dissatisfaction.

"You brainless idiots!"

The psionicist cursed, but gritted his teeth and waved his arm, allowing the time reversal to take effect again and bring back the medic who was shot in the head.

His eyes beneath the tactical visor turned cold, and he made a decision in his heart.

"Let's go to the aircraft. We can't stay here any longer!"

He waved his hand, and everyone who had witnessed Zhou Ke's destructive power quickened their pace and rushed towards the location of the aircraft.

It was not a military aircraft but some kind of more sophisticated vehicle, just big enough for an action team to ride. They boarded the aircraft smoothly and started it up. At this time, Zhou Ke in the spiritual world rubbed his aching forehead while watching the aircraft take off.

When it was about thirty meters above the ground, Zhou Ke took off the crow mask and said to Wu Neng:
"I haven't even told them to leave yet and they're already trying to run away. How rude! Let it get down!"

"It's ready, got it!"

Wuneng was also furious, so he acted without mercy. He threw an offensive program rewritten with the code of the awakening virus at the target, paralyzing the aircraft's control system within seconds, causing it to plummet to the ground like a bird without wings.

For Wu Neng, who had driven military vehicles of the Acholi Group specifications several times, breaking through that firewall was too easy.

But just as the aircraft roared and crashed into the hills on the surface, a yellowish-brown light flashed, and in the light of time going back, the instantaneous psychic returned to his previous place like a ghost, less than thirty meters away from Zhou Ke, and the two of them drew their guns almost at the same time.

As the bullet left the gun, a ball of khaki light also hit Zhou Ke.

The psychic was hit in the abdomen, bleeding profusely and almost falling to the ground, while Zhou Ke was "frozen" in place by the time psychic power, just like a coquettish girl who was hit by a time-stopping spell. From then on, he could only passively accept the malicious and wretched men in the car.

The injured psionicist supported himself with the rifle in his hands.

The bullet pierced his spleen, causing him great pain. He waved his hand and slapped the last rewind of the time hourglass on himself. When he rescued the medic just now, he had left this "time beacon" at the original place in order to seduce Zhou Ke to show up.

This guy has dangerous smart devices in his hands, and he can't resist the temptation to destroy the aircraft and wipe out his own side.

"You are such a vicious opponent. No wonder you were able to cause such a massacre in Niujiao Gorge."

The recovered psionicist strode forward. Although the time hourglass on his gauntlet had run dry, Zhou Ke was frozen in time and no longer posed any threat.

He still maintained his frozen state, holding the gun and aiming forward, the heterochromatic pupils in his squinted eyes clearly visible.

The psychic master stepped forward and took off all the weapons on Zhou Ke. When he got the razor blade, he was stunned for a moment, and obviously recognized this replica of the "famous" weapon in the Flash Organization. This made the psychic master look at Zhou Ke's frozen face suspiciously. He was very curious, where did this thug get this level of "souvenir"?

No wonder he has some hidden identity?
Well, this seems to make sense!

No wonder Commander Roger gave a death order to capture this guy alive and bring him back.

"whoosh"

A group of special flares were fired into the sky, and a ball of light exploded in the sky, guiding other action teams active nearby to come and join up. The next thing was simple.

Bring Zhou Ke back to the research center and hand him over to Chief Roger, and then it will be time to reward him based on his merits.

But before that, the psychic master had to do one last thing. He reached out and grasped Zhou Ke's left arm, carefully observing the energy device that was also frozen in time, intending to take it off.

This thing is also a powerful weapon in Zhou Ke's hands, and it is suspected that there is a "free AI" from the old civilization living in it.

Perhaps I should ask for this as the subject of my next research when seeking awards.

There are not many psychics in the Flash Organization who can master the time power proficiently. Each of them is a key researcher, with some inclinations in research topics and resources. Therefore, strictly speaking, the psychic who just ruthlessly used his own team members as bait to attract Zhou Ke to show up is not an armed personnel.

He was a serious scholar with a doctorate degree in the old civilization, and this brilliant counterattack tactic also demonstrated a truth: when scholars picked up guns, their destructive power was far greater than that of ordinary soldiers.

"Ahem, I suggest you don't take it off casually. It contains a proton bomb that will blow us all up."

Just as the psychic was studying the very sophisticated permanent lock of the energy-comprehension device, Zhou Ke's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, with a hint of worry and concern.

The psionicist didn't react for a moment, and by the time he realized what was happening, it was too late.

Zhou Ke's fist hit him on the neck, and his left knee hit him right on the bridge of his nose. The psionicist was wailing from the random punches and kicks he threw. It seemed that the truth that ranged mages would have to wait for death if they were approached by a violent warrior also applied in the Badlands.

Before the psychic could get out of close combat, a shadow flashed behind Zhou Ke, and Ohm's shadow warrior jumped out, picked up the razor blade on the ground, and stabbed him in the heart.

With a puff, the psychic's body was kicked away by Zhou Ke.

The shadow warrior dissipated, and the blade fell and was caught in Zhou Ke's hand. He was panting, with a trace of fear in his eyes, and used his other hand to take out his time mask from his arms.

This thing is thicker than before, and it has obviously just completed a wave of "charging and strengthening".

The "time freeze" just now did work, and Zhou Ke and Wu Neng were frozen in time. However, because the time mask was absorbing the psychic energy released by the other party, the duration of this super-powerful control spell on Zhou Ke was at least five times shorter than the psychic master expected.

Normal people would be frozen for at least thirty minutes, but he only lasted less than four minutes before regaining his ability to move. If Roger hadn't ordered the psychic to capture him alive, Zhou Ke would have gone to hell the moment he was frozen.

This powerful time control spell seems to be "unsolvable" at the moment.

"Swish"

He put on the mask of time, raised his sword and rushed towards the body of the psychic in front of him, which was entangled by ochre light spots. This guy can be resurrected, so things are not so easy to end.

"Go away!"

The psionicist who had resurrected himself using his own time psionic powers was obviously frightened.

When he was resurrected, he didn't care about saving his psychic energy, and just raised his hand to throw out the dangerous "Time Exile". This psychic skill would drag the target into a dangerous time turbulence, and although it would only last for a dozen seconds, most creatures would be torn apart the moment they were caught in the chaotic time.

It is basically equivalent to a high-level psychic spell of control + instant kill.

However, just like the previous time freeze with a very short duration, Zhou Ke was sucked into the time flow and rushed out covered in blood in just less than five seconds. Not only did he survive, but his time mask was also "charged" a little bit. He now understood the properties of this SSR super rare mask in his hand.

This thing can absorb all time-related psychic energy directed at it.

Although it cannot be completely absorbed, it is enough for Zhou Ke to reduce the destructive power of all lethal time spells to a "non-lethal" level, just like holding up a psychic shield that "specially attacks" time energy.

"How can you have such a high tolerance to time psychic energy? This is impossible!"

When the instantaneous psionicist saw this scene, he almost collapsed.

He grabbed his self-defense pistol and kept shooting at Zhou Ke, screaming:

"You can obviously walk in the spirit world! Your psychic talent should be biased towards shadows! You can't possibly have resistance to time psychic energy. How can one person have two psychic talents?

This is not right!
This is impossible! You monster! "

"You can't even imagine my power, you pathetic bastard! Take my sword!"

Zhou Ke rushed forward amidst the flying bullets, and chopped off the head of the "incapable of close combat" psychic in front of him with another blow. It was indeed painful when those bullets hit his flesh and blood, but the body strengthening that Weng Mingyue had done for him was indeed powerful enough. Although the effect of the first stage of surgery had not yet been fully exerted, he already had the necessary resistance to bullets.

But it's still not over.

There were still khaki spots of light surrounding the other person, and this time he looked much more violent than before.

A second later, the psychic was resurrected again, but this time not only him, but even Zhou Ke noticed the "change" of the psychic.

The flesh from his left arm to his shoulder showed a very strange "crystallization", as if strange ochre-colored bone spurs had grown in his flesh. His eyes were bloodshot and his breath was not as steady as before.

"Stop! If you do that again I won't be able to control myself! And then we'll all die!"

The psychic raised his ferocious left hand and shouted hoarsely at Zhou Ke who was holding the knife to chop:
"My 'benchmark' has been destroyed, damn it! The backlash of time is coming, let me go, or we will all die here!"

"Ha, I get it. Your magical control over time was 'stolen'! I told you so. Even if there are so many monsters in the evil land, it is impossible for a race that can control time to be born. No matter what kind of myth it is, controlling time is the domain of God!"

Zhou Ke narrowed his eyes. He saw through this guy's trick and scolded him:
"You are a bunch of thieves who stole the power of time and are still showing off! I want to see how you plan to kill me now that you have reached the end of your rope."

"boom"

He stepped forward and slashed fiercely, hitting the psychic's crystallized left arm, causing the latter to fall to the ground. While he begged for mercy miserably, Zhou Ke picked up a pistol and shot him in the head.

Zhou Ke took a few steps back, warily observing the psychic's changes in front of him.

If it was as he expected, the psychic's body would be covered with strange ochre-colored crystals after his resurrection. He looked like a "crystal spirit". His face had completely lost all human features, and even his eyeballs had turned into crystals.

At this time, he roared at Zhou Ke like a ferocious human-shaped beast, and took the initiative to attack regardless of the situation.

"Is this the result of the destruction of the 'benchmark' he mentioned? Turning himself into a psychic monster, what's the difference between this and an alien monster?"

Zhou Ke looked at the monster in front of him and said with a frown:
"Sure enough, my enemies are a group of monsters, so I must be a hero standing on the side of justice when I fight against monsters!"

"Is now the time to think about this?"

Wu Neng screamed:
"This weird thing's energy readings are about to go off the charts, run!"

"Why are you panicking? Didn't Moni come here with heavy weapons?"

Zhou Ke retreated and ran away, saying:

"I just don't believe it. No matter how powerful this half-flesh crystal monster is, can it withstand a rocket? And what about those Acholi operators who were attracted here? If they come here without treating us to a hot meal and then leave, wouldn't it make us Badlands people seem too rude?
Just use their heads to give a warm greeting to Shunguang."
