Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 104: The Sunny and Cheerful Big Boy's Domineering Wall-dong
It was a desolate place, the ground ablaze with flames, and corpses scattered across the ground.

"Are you here? Herrscher. You've been dawdling for so long, I thought you were dead out there." The man tilted his head slightly and looked sideways at Klein.

His voice was calm, without any emotion.

Klein couldn't see his face, only a black mask with gold outlines.

A strong heat wave enveloped Klein, and he then remembered that although the identity of "Herrser" he obtained in the simulated universe did bring him considerable power, for these heroes, it was likely a "negative favorability" item.

At least when facing this man, his identity as a Herrer has most likely reduced his initial favorability to negative.

"What? Standing there? Are you scared? There's actually a Herrscher as useless as you." The man turned around completely and looked down at Klein.

His tone remained calm, as if he was stating a fact.

"You're far worse than that idiot playing with ice," the man concluded. "At least he had the guts to attack me."

A useless person playing with ice? Who? Klein thought quickly.

Holy shit, could it be the Ice Herrscher? So this is Qianjie, the one who tore the Herrscher apart with his bare hands!

Qianjie approached Klein step by step, until he was about five meters in front of Klein. He stood on a hill made of several Honkai beast corpses, looking down at Klein from his two-meter height.

Qianjie folded his arms across his chest. "I heard you were going to play that sad someone? Is that right?"

"Yes." Klein took a step back and stared at Qianjie, holding the pistol tightly in his hand.

Qianjie glanced at the outdated pistol with disdain, then looked away.

"Remember, my name is Qianjie. Like the others here, I'm a fusion warrior. My name is [Aomie]. I forgot what rank I hold, but it's not important."

"My name is..." Klein was about to answer.

"That's not important, Herrscher. All you have to do now is survive. Do you understand? Unless you can be resurrected like that snake."

The spirit has no time to warn.

Klein had been slammed into the ground by Qianjie, who had appeared behind him out of nowhere.

Klein's body quickly shrank and shrank, leaving only an ugly paper figure in its place.

A series of flashes of fire passed by, and Klein's flames jumped to the other end of the field.

Qianjie didn't rush to pursue. He dusted off his hands and said, "Are these all you can do with these little tricks that are not worthy of being shown on the stage?"

"Aren't you Herrschers of Domination the best at deceiving people? Come on, stir up the rage in me."

Flames ignited on his body, burning the quietly spreading lavender threads.

Am I sick? Am I irritating you?

A purple vortex formed under Qianjie's feet, infecting him with several negative effects.

Qianjie swung his left arm, and a red wave of air spread out, shattering the echo of nothingness.

"Not enough! Not enough!"

A blue arrow fell from the sky. Qianjie raised his head, completely defenseless. The arrow hit his body, only scratching a layer of skin.

Although Klein has maxed out his blessings, the effect of Fate Echo is ultimately tied to the base stats.

It is not easy to break the defense.

But this is the limit of what he can do.

The intensity of the patrol is linked to hatred to a certain extent. Klein discovered that when the patrol's arrows hit Qianjie, the effect was surprisingly good.

Why is that?
Klein didn't think he hated Qianjie that much. At least the mark of "Heavenly Wisdom" had helped him see many things more clearly. Although Qianjie was very angry, he didn't really fight him seriously.

Throw a punch, talk for a long time. It's like playing a turn-based game.

Rather than a real life-and-death fight, this is more like playing house with the younger generation.

Although the scale of this game may be a little bit big.

Qianjie took a step forward, the ground cracked, meteors burning with flames fell from the sky, and a tornado mixed with the flames appeared out of thin air.

For a moment, it was like a natural disaster.

This time, Klein did not retreat, but instead moved forward to face the natural disaster.

Green Bodhi leaves floated out of thin air around his body, forming a breeze.

This tiny wind formed a sharp contrast with the purgatory of fire, but the magical thing was that under the influence of that wind, both the tornado and the meteor changed direction and rushed towards Qianjie.

The sky was filled with meteors and several huge fire tornadoes that engulfed Qianjie, forming a sea of ​​fire.

"Heh, that blind man's mark. It's okay." Qianjie's voice came from the sea of ​​fire. The next second, he rushed out of the sea of ​​fire and came in front of Klein again.

It was unclear whether he was truly affected or simply letting his guard down, but this time Klein could barely see his movements.

Another pistol appeared in Klein's left hand at some point, a revolver that looked rusty.

This is the pistol that can slow down time, Red Dead Redemption.

The cafeteria poured hot sauce and smashed Varudo.

The world instantly turned black and white, with only Klein in color.

He raised two pistols, one against Qianjie's chest and the other against the center of Qianjie's mask.

boom.

Three gunshots rang out simultaneously.

They came from two pistols and an air bullet simulated with Klein's mouth. Air bullets didn't have to fly from between fingers; they could also be spit out from the mouth.

Time continues to flow.

Two Thunder Eyes hit Qianjie's chest and mask, and the air bullet exhaled from Klein's mouth hit Qianjie's throat.

The mask cracked but did not fall off, the clothes on his chest exploded, revealing the muscles underneath, purple arcs of electricity surrounded his entire body, and the huge explosion blew away the surrounding flames.

But Qianjie seemed unaffected. He grabbed Klein's neck without slowing down and pressed him against the air wall at the edge of the field.

It's the domineering wall-bang style of a sunny and cheerful big boy.

"Let me tell you, Herrscher. There's nothing here for you to act out! Rather, the only tragedy that will happen here is this: you! Will be slaughtered by me! Do you understand?"

Feeling the force on his neck gradually increasing, Klein tried to escape using the paper mannequin substitute.

But the moment he released his substitute, five or six pockets and seven or eight hidden compartments of his clothes instantly caught fire.

The strange energy called Honkai energy that Qianjie mastered followed his spirituality and ignited all the paper figures.

"Those little things are too ugly. Let me help you burn them." Qianjie's face was very close.

Then, Qianjie swung his hand and threw Klein out.

Klein rolled several times among the pile of corpses on the ground and fell to the ground.

The sound of shattering glass was heard, and he could clearly feel that his shield had been broken.

"What? You can't stand up like this? Then you will die here." Qianjie raised his head and didn't look at Klein.

A drop of green rain fell from the sky, and Klein's wounds healed instantly.

"You don't have many skills, but you have one fancy trick after another. What? Are you a clown in a circus? Do you need my applause?"

"No need to applaud. How about a little reward?" Klein climbed up from the ground. "Then give me your seal. How about that?"

Qianjie didn't say anything and continued to look at the sky.

After a few seconds, he lowered his head and looked at Klein again.

The flames grew thicker, completely enveloping the upper body, obscuring all detail. The cracked mask shattered, half of it falling to the ground. But what was revealed wasn't his face, but rather the flames covering half of it.

"Okay, since you want it, then I'll be generous and give it to you directly. As long as you can take this punch, no matter how you use it."

Klein put away his two guns and put his hands in front of his chest.

"Okay, come on." Give it a try. If you can't catch it, you can just jump into the flame and run away.

boom.

The flaming fist collided with the huge ice wall half a meter away from Klein. Most of Qianjie's body was sealed in ice, and even the burning flames were frozen.

Klein looked at the scene in front of him blankly.

What's going on? He hasn't even released the echo of his memory. It's more like he hasn't reacted at all.

"Let's stop here, Qianjie." A voice came from above the venue.

It was a magnetic male voice, its tone calm and cold. It was clearly a pleasant voice, but it lacked any emotion.

Who?
Klein looked up, but all he could see was a white mist, through which he could barely make out a man.

Nonsense, of course it’s a man, could it be a Barbie doll?

"Tsk." Qianjie easily broke free from the ice on his body, and the ice wall quickly shattered in front of him.

"Herrser, you are lucky, but I still keep my word." Qianjie put away the flames on his body, only his face was still blocked by the flames.

"Remember this, this is the inscription of 'Ao Mie'."

"I hate complicated things. The most effective test is a simple fight. If you lose, you die. If you win, you live, and then you continue fighting... It's that simple."

This is too simple, isn't it? Klein complained in his heart, but he didn't dare say it out loud.

"I really like the look in your eyes right now, the look of anger but not daring to speak out. If you are upset with me, then remember how you feel right now. Do your best to struggle to the end, so that you can prove that you are worthy of being beaten to death by me."

"Next time, let me see your true anger, then maybe I'll be interested in weighing your capabilities."

Flames burned from Klein's palm and condensed into a seal. It looked like a mask, just like the one Qianjie wore on his face. Of course, it was the version before it was broken.

The surroundings gradually dimmed, and Klein could feel himself leaving this environment constructed from memories. He would return to the halls of Paradise.

The flames gradually died out and merged into Klein's body, leaving only one sentence echoing in his ears.

"All things have been burned, and this body will also be destroyed and will not remain. Life and death, existence and destruction, only "annihilation", eternal burning."

When the surroundings became bright again, Klein had returned to the lobby of Paradise.

Only then did he let out a long breath.

Damn, that’s so scary.

He walked to the sofa with trembling legs and sat down. The oppression brought by Qianjie was too strong. This enthusiasm was a bit too much. No wonder Paduo reminded him not to provoke Qianjie.

I didn’t provoke him, Klein felt a little bit like crying.

But the ending was good, and I got the seal. Although I always felt that the ending was very sloppy, as if it was a waste of time.

No, it really was released, right? He definitely couldn't catch that last punch. He had a premonition that if that punch really hit him, even a flame jump wouldn't be able to escape. He was firmly locked in.
