Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

An obscure wave spread around Li Ang, and the surrounding air suddenly turned into thick glue. McGee stopped on the wall in a rather ridiculous posture.

"Okay, stay here obediently. I made a deal with your father before and I won't do anything to you." Li Ang breathed slightly.

From the beginning, Li Ang dealt with McGee in a playful manner.

The opponent's strength is indeed different from what his father said, but at most it is at the level of an elite high-level knight. His strength may be slightly weaker than Margaret's, but it is far behind compared to Leon.

If you get serious, Li Ang can knock off McGee's dog... no, fox head with just one cane.

Who told his father to pay a lot of extra money?Although McGee did not come to trouble Li Ang, he still decided to keep his original promise, beat up McGee, arrest him, and throw him to his father for punishment.

With the stasis power as the foundation, Li Ang would never let McGee run out of this yard no matter what.

However, just as Li Ang walked in the direction of McGee, preparing to get him off the wall, a layer of gray, mist-like substance emerged from McGee's body, and the stagnation imposed on him by Li Ang The power was actually offset.

McGee regained his mobility and jumped off the wall.

"Don't try to escape!!"

Margaret, who was watching the battle from behind, was stunned for a moment, then shouted and wanted to catch up.

Mikey's initial attack was clearly aimed at taking Margaret's life. Margaret would not let him escape no matter what. She wanted to ask the other party why he attacked her.

Just as Margaret ran out a few steps, she was stopped by Li Ang.

"Stop chasing him, there's something wrong with that guy."

"I know his father, and I will let him give you an explanation for this matter."

"……All right."

Margaret hesitated for a moment and then agreed. Anyway, she had nothing to lose. Since Li Ang had already said so, it didn't hurt to listen to him once.

There was a reason why Li Ang didn't let Margaret catch up.

Even if Li Ang is not proficient in mastering the stasis power, it is not something ordinary people can break free from.

The moment the gray mist poured out of McGee, Li Ang caught a very ancient and obscure aura from him.

It is this kind of aura that offsets the influence of stagnant power. If Margaret catches up without even wearing protective gear, there may be a possibility of capsizing in the gutter, and Li Ang must be careful whether this is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so Will let McGee escape.

"...Let's go back to the house first and then talk."

Standing in the yard stupidly was not an option. It was a pity that a good rest day was ruined by Mikey.

Even if there is still a lot of time left today, the others probably have no intention of continuing the tea party.

When the three of them entered the house, everyone had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

Ren was fully armed and blocking the front of them, staring nervously in the direction of the door.

When he saw that the person who came in was Li Ang, Renn breathed a sigh of relief.

He inserted his sword into its scabbard and asked quickly, "What just happened? Is it over?"

"ended."

"Someone wanted to assassinate Margaret, but we have driven them away."

Chapter 62 Things Hidden in the Starry Sky

It's a pity to let Mikey run away, but a monk who can run away can't run away from the temple. Now that he has recognized his identity, and an industry as big as Rose Newspaper is within the realm of the Grand Knight, Li Ang can go to his father to settle the score at any time.

However... Li Ang still has a problem.

"Are you sure that the person just now is really Mikey? Mikey Ross, the son of the chairman of Rose Newspaper?"

"I……"

Hearing Li Ang's question, Viviana opened her mouth to answer, but soon she hesitated again.

Was the one just now... really the Mikey she was familiar with?

"I have no idea……"

Finally, Viviana shook her head and said, "He looks the same as Mr. McGee, but the Mr. McGee I know... doesn't have the same strength as him."

"Are you sure? What if he is lying to you?"

"Mr. McGee is just an ordinary person. He has been my spokesperson for almost two years. We have been together for a long time. He could not have lied to me for such a long time." Viviana said with certainty.

There are very obvious differences between trained people and ordinary people, which can be reflected in the standing posture, walking style, step length, and even breathing rate. It is not difficult to disguise for a moment, but it is almost impossible to disguise for a long time. Possibly, no one can notice every detail in life.

Two years has been long enough, but Mikey has never shown any flaws in front of Viviana, which means that he is not pretending.

"interesting……"

Viviana's testimony matched Kane's statement. At least before today, Mikey Rose was a thoroughly ordinary person, unless the two of them had communicated in advance and worked together to deceive. Li Ang.

But what's the point?Let Li Ang mistakenly think that McGee is an ordinary person, and then come to assassinate him?

The problem is, the person Mikey wanted to kill just now was not Li Ang, but Margaret standing by...

So Li Ang turned to Margaret and asked, "Margaret, do you know the guy who escaped just now?"

"……do not know."

After frowning and recalling for a while, Margaret slowly shook her head, "I have never seen that guy before."

Then she added, "I have been staying at the manor during this time and have never been out."

The implication is that the man should not know that Margaret is here.

"Some people still know about you, maybe his father told him." Li Ang replied casually.

Since Margaret didn't know McGee, then there was no grudge between the two. Why did McGee come to assassinate Margaret?

And with Margaret’s character, it’s hard to provoke other people, right?

Shaking his head, he couldn't make any random guesses like this.

Mikey has completely disappeared from Li Ang's perception, but since the opponent can block the stasis power, it is not surprising that he can hide his traces now. It is not surprising for Li Ang to find someone among the huge knights. It's not an easy task either.

What Li Ang is very concerned about now is the aura that appears on the other party.

That aura didn't appear on McGee out of thin air, but descended from the sky into McGee's body through an extremely obscure connection.

If it were not for the need to expel the influence of stagnant power, I am afraid that even Li Ang would not be able to detect this connection.

What on earth is there in the sky?What gives McGee that power.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ang gathered his perceptions into a bunch and continued to extend into the air.

1000 meters... 2000 meters... all the way to the extreme ten thousand meters, except for the increasingly thin source of energy, Li Ang found almost nothing else.

And the height of ten kilometers has not even broken through the stratosphere. If there is something hidden higher up, it is almost impossible for Li Ang to find it.

After much deliberation, Li Ang only found something that had something to do with the sky in the corner of his memory.

It was a threat from the starry sky. In a glimpse of the Source Stone Will, Li Ang saw a certain Lateran Pope being crushed to death by a meteorite shining with hazy iridescent light. In the cathedral.

But that was only a picture that lasted less than a second, and no useful information was obtained at all.

It would be pure nonsense to insist that the two are related, but what is certain is that there is definitely something hidden in the starry sky above their heads.

At this moment, Li Ang heard Margaret's voice.

"I said... did you think that person just now was a little strange?"

Li Ang was thinking about the problem with Mikey, and Margaret also did not give up thinking. She considered her words bit by bit and said slowly, "I mean... that person was fighting Li Ang just now. Sometimes, his various actions seem a bit too standard."

"Is there any problem with this?" Li Ang asked with some confusion.

He recalled the previous battles and found no problems.

"You may not feel it yourself, but from the perspective of us bystanders, the problem is very obvious," Margaret explained, "Let's put it this way, even the most powerful swordsman can hardly guarantee that he will wield the sword. When two swords are exactly the same, everything from the angle of the sword to the speed of swinging the sword to the time it takes to hit the target are all uncertain factors."

"As for Mr. McGee just now... his movements are too standard. Every time he draws the bow or strikes back, he does it exactly the same. I suspect that even the movements of the muscles on his body are exactly the same."

"It's just... like a machine."

Margaret's words seemed to flash through Li Ang's mind like a bolt of lightning, and he finally realized that something was wrong.

There are many ways to make up for physical fitness, such as the enhancement of Origin Stone skills, surgical modifications, and equipment bonuses, but combat experience cannot make up for it in any way.

Li Ang quickly realized this after entering the knight competition. He took the initiative to limit his strength and fought hundreds of battles while being chased and intercepted by dozens of knights, which made up for this shortcoming a little.

So what happened to McGee?

Thinking of McGee's abnormal fighting power, ignoring the pain in his body, fighting method as precise as a machine, and turning a deaf ear to the goddess's call...

A bold idea suddenly came to Li Ang's mind.

"That guy...is being controlled?"

It was like a battle-hardened soul was forcefully stuffed into that body.

……

[Mission 1: Kill the Glory Knight...failed]

[Mission 2: Bring back the Candle Knight...failed]

[Bonus Mission: Defeat Hurricane Knight...Failed]

[Military intervention failed... According to calculations, the current task cannot be completed, and application is made to change the executor. 】

Lying in the dark bridge cave, the bandage on Mikey's chest was stained with mottled blood.

McGee's head was raised high, and his eyes seemed to have passed through the carbon bricks above his head and fell into the endless black night sky.

There were disturbing colors flashing in his slightly cloudy eyes.

[If the application is approved, please store the descending body in a safe location. The Empire of Consciousness will dispatch a new executor. 】

Chapter 63 Sorry, I’m an undercover agent

"You mean...McGee is being controlled?"

Hearing this, Viviana's expression moved slightly.

On one side is the idol she has longed for, and on the other side is her friend. Viviana feels quite embarrassed when McGee does this, but Leon's words give Viviana new hope.

As long as McGee didn't do this kind of thing, her idol would not mind forgiving McGee who couldn't help himself.

"This is just my guess, and I can't provide any evidence."

In Li Ang's opinion, this situation is the most likely to happen.

What if that guy named McGee is really some kind of genius who can instantly block and kill gods and Buddhas with a weapon?Li Ang has learned to get used to it. In this world where technology relies on archeology, everything is possible.

"Let me tell you... Although I don't know what you are talking about, I would like to ask, is it really possible to control other people as you said, Li Ang?" Renn rubbed the back of his head, not quite believing Li Ang. guess.

Compared with others, Renn's vision is much lower. He is just an ordinary mercenary. Unlike Margaret and others who are nobles, they control the origin stone skills of human beings... Renn is only good at those who scare people. I heard it in people’s fairy tales.

"Of course it can be achieved. It should be a special spell that affects the soul."

If he were to simply control his body like a puppet, he wouldn't be able to achieve McGee's level of flexibility. Presumably, it would be more likely to directly occupy McGee's body like Adams did.

"For example, Liz and I can roughly feel other people's emotions. If this ability goes one step further, can we read other people's thoughts? And since we can touch the thinking level, it means that we can transmit the influence ', this is the basic theorem of the Source Stone Technology Theory."

The fluctuating killing intent was developed based on this theory. Through this subtle connection, Li Ang can pour a large amount of 'emotions' into the enemy's brain. If you put it another way, the emotions can be transmitted, then the 'instructions' Woolen cloth?

Maybe this is the prototype of mind control. If it continues to develop, it might be Adams' method to transfer his soul.

However, Li Ang has no intention of adding more points to this skill branch. The wave of murderous intent is enough for him. Is he too full to study such crooked things?

When you meet Mikey next time, give him a strong blow with the killing intent wave, maybe you can get rid of his bad mental state.

"Since this ability is not an exception, there will definitely be people conducting targeted research. It has been thousands of years since the emergence of Origin Stone technology, so it is not surprising that this kind of magic appears. Maybe because this kind of magic is too evil, So it’s normal that you haven’t heard of it…”

It's better not to tell anything about Adams, after all, it's a bit too scary.

What Li Ang didn't notice was that when he said that he could sense other people's emotions, Xintlaya's expression turned very ugly for a moment, and the chair under her butt seemed to be on fire, making her feel sitting upright. Uneasy.

"Really? Then what do you think I am feeling now?" Ren was shocked, and then asked very curiously.

"...Isn't your mood written all over your face? Do you still need me to use magic to see it?"

Li Ang's answer caused a burst of laughter, which made Ren scratch his head in embarrassment.

After laughing, Margaret said with a serious face, "Mr. Lane, what Leon just said is right, Liz can indeed sense other people's emotions."

"When we were wandering around before, it was precisely because of Liz's abilities that we avoided a lot of trouble."
