Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Chapter 238 Magic Interference Device

The life or death of the plastic surgery addict is quite important to Wang Yi.

After all, this affects his specific decisions when dealing with people who have undergone cosmetic surgery.

If he were to die, then it would be simple; given the right opportunity, Wang Yi would definitely launch a sneak attack.

Even a high-level mage with a shattered head and a flying crystal wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.

If it were to be alive...

"This one really needs to be alive," Chen Guang said. "There are many identities for these plastic surgery freaks; we might be able to extract some interesting information from them."

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it." Wang Yi adjusted his glasses and sighed inwardly.

If the goal is to save the animal, then he cannot make a move.

The death was simple; Wang Yi only needed to exert force, and the rest was left to the Night Watch to clean up the mess.

But it's really hard to catch a living person getting plastic surgery.

Knocking someone unconscious is a skill, and it's not easy to succeed on the first try.

Moreover, the bodies of high-level mages are also nurtured by magic over the years, and have undergone two physical enhancements, one when advancing to the intermediate level and the other when advancing to the high level. Although they are far inferior to Wang Yi's passive body, their life force is still so strong that they are not particularly fragile.

Compared to ordinary people, that's the limit of human potential.

The force required to knock someone unconscious is very difficult to control.

If the force is too great, the person dies; if the force is too small, the person is fine.

For ordinary people, it's fine; if they can't be knocked unconscious in one go, they can just try again.

If you keep trying, you'll eventually succeed.

Even if they fail every time, anyone with a modicum of intelligence would pretend to be unconscious to avoid being knocked to death.

But high-level mages are different. If you can't knock them unconscious in one go, and they have a chance to react, a legendary-grade spell can be unleashed, and people within a radius of hundreds or thousands of meters might all be killed along with them.

Even using the continuous control of the Roar, releasing it once per second, is not very reliable.

Putting aside how to capture the plastic surgery monster after controlling it, the "Roar of Might" is a crowd control magic that can take care of everything within a 200-meter radius in all directions, which obviously cannot affect many ordinary people.

Who knows if being yelled at repeatedly will have any impact on the mental and intellectual development of ordinary people?

Wang Yi dared not take this chance. If he was the one who discovered the plastic surgery monster first, he should report it as soon as possible.

"Are there many mages that need to be captured alive during the Night Watch's missions?" Wang Yi asked with some curiosity.

"That's not a small number," Chen Guang said seriously. "After all, we're not some kind of serial killers. Even if they're wanted mages, they're not the kind of people who deserve to be executed many times. We usually don't just kill them outright."

"Then how do we capture them alive? Mages aren't little chicks; you can't just grab them by the neck. There are bound to be some clueless scoundrels who are prepared to fight to the death." Wang Yi's eyes lit up. It seemed that the Night Watch had an effective way to control mages.

Is it some kind of special anesthetic? Or some kind of magic-suppressing handcuffs that prevent one from casting magic once worn?

However, an anesthetic is unlikely, as it takes at least a second or two for the anesthetic to take effect, which is enough time for a mage to cast some spells.

The anti-magic handcuffs would be suitable, but whether they could actually be made is another matter. Wang Yi was just thinking about it, since he didn't know anything about the underlying principles.

"Among the legendary-grade spells, there is one called the Anti-Magic Domain. Once released, everyone within its range except for extraordinary mages is unable to cast spells." Chen Guang's mini-class has begun again.

Wang Yi was dumbfounded. No, this thing really exists.

No, the anti-magic field is magic; at most, it's about using magic to defeat magic, which is very different from anti-magic handcuffs.

However, it's impractical to call upon a high-level mage with anti-magic abilities to maintain order every time a mage is captured.

Wang Yi couldn't believe that so many high-level mages had absorbed the magic-suppressing domain.

Sure enough, Chen Guang's next words confirmed this.

"Of course, the magic crystals for the anti-magic field spell are extremely rare, and the probability of absorbing it is also quite low. In the entire Night Watch Army, there are probably no more than a handful of high-level mages who possess this spell. In some ways, it is even rarer than extraordinary mages."

Wang Yi raised an eyebrow slightly. So, there must be at least five extraordinary mages in the Night Watch Army?

He's good at identifying keywords.

"In the past, when we needed to capture someone alive, we would either evacuate the ordinary people in advance, but that would make a big commotion and be easily noticed by the target, or we would deploy the Night Watch Army with anti-magic fields, release the anti-magic fields, and then swarm in and give him a few of his favorite slaps."

"That's safe enough, but as I said before, there are too few people with anti-magic fields. Even if you use them like cattle to the death, you can only capture targets with high intelligence value. Targets without much intelligence value are usually killed directly to prevent them from harming ordinary people, until..."

At this point, Chen Guang lifted the cushioning cotton covering the suitcase, revealing some things underneath.

Wang Yi curiously cast his gaze, and the first thing that caught his eye was two semi-circular metal rings.

It's all black with a strong metallic feel, and the dark gold patterns are exquisite, giving it a distinctly cyberpunk style.

Wang Yi affirmed the design of the metal semi-ring.

It looks good, I want it.

Inside the groove beneath the metal semi-ring are three silver cones of increasing thickness and length.

The smallest is like a fountain pen, and the largest looks like a folded baton.

"What are these two?" Wang Yi asked, pointing to the semi-circular metal ring and the pointed cone.

The metal half-ring doesn't look like handcuffs. After all, nobody's wrist is that big. Is it for handcuffing Warcraft characters?

This cone doesn't resemble a bullet; it's just a pointed cylindrical cone.

"This is a magic interference device, both external and internal types," Chen Guang explained. "When we were developing the magic detection device, we accidentally created this accessory. It can't detect magic fluctuations over a large area, but it has a very strong interference effect on magic within a small area, and it has a very strong penetrating power."

"Therefore, based on these characteristics, we created these two types of magic jammers to restrain mages." Chen Guang patted the suitcase. "The magic detection devices form China's magic monitoring network, and the magic jammers have created small magic jammers. I believe these are the two most successful magical technology products in the last hundred years of the magical era, and both are independently developed by China."

"So, this thing can interfere with the magic power within a mage's body, thus achieving an effect similar to a magic-suppressing field?" Wang Yi was astonished. Wasn't this equivalent to artificially creating a legendary-grade spell?

"Pretty much, but the range of the anti-magic field is much larger. The magic jammer doesn't specifically interfere with the magic power within a mage's body; in fact, it can interfere with all magic power within a certain range. However, the magic jammer has very strong penetrating power, so even the magic power within a mage's body is no exception."

"Of course, strong penetration means a small radiation range. So the maximum radiation range of the current magic jamming device is only about three meters, which has once brought the development of large magic jamming devices to a standstill."

Chen Guang picked up one of the metal halves and asked, "How is it? Want to try it out?"

"Come on." Wang Yi didn't refuse; he also wanted to know the specific effects of this thing.

Besides, it's like putting on handcuffs; there are legitimate and legal ways to do it, and who wouldn't want to try?
