For a moment, the hooded alchemist of Team Three frowned and said to the remaining four ordinary members, "It looks like we're all going to be eliminated."
"Don't be so pessimistic, Kafmo, we can think of another way."
"Yes, we can think of another way, but I don't want to be a logistics member! Besides, before becoming a mercenary, I was a circus clown, and my specialty was shooting balloons."
The hooded alchemist named Kafmo revealed a hint of madness as he instantly drew his twin revolvers from his waist.
Bang bang bang!
Gunshots rang out, and the heads of all four team members were blown apart, falling into pools of blood.
"Haha! Heads are just balloons!"
Then, under the cold, solemn, or fearful gazes of the crowd, Kafmo tiptoed and danced a ballet, shouting to the robin, "Our Team Three has come up with a plan! The others have chosen to sacrifice themselves so as not to implicate me; I will go through alone!"
# Chapter 720 The Final Challenge (Part 1)
What a fine example of "self-sacrifice"!
Kafmo's behavior terrified many people present!
"It's him!"
After thinking for a moment, Ailiwan recognized Kafmo's identity and said to Jiang Liu and the others, "That man is called Kafmo. He used to be a clown in a circus. He desperately craved attention. Before becoming a mercenary, he would even run naked in the streets, shoot people randomly, and snatch snacks from children on the street in order to get attention!"
She loves ballet and has created her own ballet fighting style based on it, with very light steps.
He is skilled at two-handed revolver shooting, with excellent accuracy, hitting the target every time within 300 meters.
His record was quite remarkable; it is rumored that he tortured and killed over three hundred people, including the elderly and children, who found his clown performances unentertaining.
"Oh? That's terrible."
Lu Jin, being of upright character, had already decided to kill him and was pondering how to get rid of this menace.
Indeed.
Everyone present had taken lives, but aside from Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, Evelyn, and Brother Jiang, the other mercenaries, explorers, and veterans all had their own principles, and killing was merely a mission or a last resort, not a personal preference.
But this Kafmo is definitely a psychopath!
"The West also has its own 'Liang Ting'."
Compared to Liang Ting, Jiang Liu realized that Kafmo was also a guy who craved "attention," and his actions, if placed in China, could be described as "the whole society."
"Five minutes are up."
at this time.
The robin interrupted everyone's thoughts and discussions, saying to Team One, "In order, Team One, you go first. By the way, if any of you with abilities want to kill ordinary people, you can choose to pass through on your own."
"Who told you to be in first place?"
"Hey! That's not fair!"
Kafmo stopped his ballet and called out to the robin.
"There's never been fairness in this world. If you have someone to blame, it's only because you didn't get on the first bus back then," Robin sneered, then said to Team Number One, "The six of you in Team Number One, you can begin."
Team One consists of six people: two people with special abilities and four ordinary people.
The two ability users are named Ango and Jax.
Jax shoved Ango and said, "It's your turn to show your skills. Don't disappoint me!"
Ango took a breath, walked to the starting position, took off his clothes, revealing red bandages all over his body—like a living mummy.
She swung her right arm, and a bandage shot out, embedding itself in the opposite wall. She then flung the other end of the bandage into the wall on the starting side to secure it.
This is how Team One works: they pull a bandage rope and have all the team members use it to reach the finish line on the other side.
Ango sat on the bandage and surprisingly slid to the finish line first.
Next up was Jax, who jumped onto the bandage rope. Everyone only saw a blur as he dashed to the finish line—his ability was high-speed movement!
The remaining four were not superhumans, so they could only hang upside down under the bandages and slowly climb to the finish line in a manner reminiscent of Zhang Chulan.
"Team One—"
The robin drawled, "All eliminated!"
"Why?"
Upon hearing the results, Ango was dissatisfied and shouted, "We only used one method! Everyone got through thanks to my bandages!"
"Indeed, only bandages were used, but the methods of application were different. You sat, Jax ran, and the others crawled. Strictly speaking, there were three methods."
The robin was quite patient. To convince everyone, he personally explained, "There's a cable car in an amusement park in Europe. Most of you probably haven't seen it before. It's a kind of vehicle that has cabins suspended from steel cables and moves by pulleys."
Taking a cable car as an example, can the experience of one person sitting in the car moving from left to right be compared to another person walking from left to right on a tightrope?
That's just sophistry!
Angona was furious, but didn't know how to refute it.
"useless."
Jax mocked Ango.
Ango dared not refute, and could only walk to the stands with Jax and the rest of the team.
"It's our turn."
Team number two has six people, but only one woman possesses the ability to remove the rag doll hanging from her waist—
This rag doll has dreadlock-like hair, similar to a licorice root, but in red; it wears a purple bow, a purple patched dress, a button for its right eye, and a sunny smile on its lips. Overall, it looks like it was made by sewing together old clothes, cotton, and buttons because it couldn't afford to buy a doll from a store.
Afterwards, the rag doll floated above her head after she infused it with a stream of black Qi, releasing dozens of transparent threads that bound the joints of everyone in Team Two, with a tiny portion piercing their spines.
"rise!"
The woman gave a soft call, and the rag doll seemed to come to life. It blinked its left eye, then its limbs swayed. The six people bound by transparent threads, including herself, leaped high in turn, stepping on the yellow square in the middle of the field, and successfully reached the finish line.
Ordinary people do not have the ability to jump ten meters in one step, but under the urging of those silk threads, the vitality in those people's bodies can be forcibly stimulated, so that their physical fitness can be greatly improved in a short period of time.
However, this method directly consumes one's innate vital energy, which means it consumes one's lifespan!
"What kind of ability is this?"
This was the first time Lu Jin had ever seen such a technique. There were puppet shows in China, but people usually controlled the puppets with strings. They were generally used in magic shows. Who would be controlled by a doll with strings?
"That rag doll is a bit special; it's an alchemical item..."
We have limited knowledge of and difficulty classifying various Western alchemical items, so we cannot determine what exactly they are.
But I'm certain that thing can carry her entire soul and consciousness, and is one with her life.
She died, but her soul might linger in the doll's memory for a considerable time; however, if her doll were destroyed, she would likely die instantly.
Jiang Liu didn't know the specific name of this ability, but he understood its essence. It was probably related to shamanism and witchcraft, mainly involving the manipulation of the soul and mind.
"Her name is Jagta."
Ailiwan recognized the person and introduced her to everyone, saying, "Her methods are actually quite famous around here. They often appear in horror stories and are called voodoo dolls. Nowadays, very few people practice this kind of witchcraft."
People generally believe that a curse is cast using a doll, but in reality, it involves manipulating others using invisible threads, disguised as a curse.
"Team Two has passed!"
At this moment, the robin clapped and praised, "What an interesting puppet show, it's just a bit short."
"Thank you!"
Putting away the rag doll, Ajata of Team Two bowed gracefully to the robin with a smile, as if she had just performed a puppet show.
Then, she took out a few black pills from her pocket and handed them to the rest of the second team, saying with concern, "Everyone, take these; they're good for your health."
Based solely on the faint scent, Jiang Liu could confirm the medicine's efficacy. Although it couldn't replenish the depleted innate Qi, it could regulate and invigorate the Qi and blood, thus improving the body's condition.
Jagata is not the irresponsible type; on the contrary, he is quite caring.
However, her teammates refused to eat the food; even when someone accepted it, they wouldn't eat it, simply putting it in their pockets, clearly showing a lack of trust in her...
"My turn!"
Team number three, namely Kafmo alone, danced a light ballet, tiptoed, and leaped lightly, his posture truly as elegant as a swan.
Unfortunately—
That's a damn pervert!
# Chapter 721 The Final Challenge (Part 2)
After Kafmo passed through, the two Inhumans from Team Four also used their methods to bring all the teams to the other side.
"One of them is named Zu Bo, who has the ability to teleport, supposedly innately; the other is named Jin Ge, whose ability is unknown, but it is said that he can extract other people's luck and then add it to himself. Moreover, he is very knowledgeable about computers and believes that the future belongs to computers. He wants to invent the world's first electronic computer, but because his daughter is sick and his family is short of money, he became a mercenary."
Ai Liwang then introduced the abilities of Zu Bo and Jin Ge.
If the former were placed in China, he could be considered a naturally gifted person. As for the latter—Ailiwan didn't know, but Jiang Liu understood that the ability the other party possessed was not the abstract ability to manipulate "luck," but rather a unique formation based on himself!
From a sorcerer's perspective, that is the Qimen Dunjia pattern, but it is not constructed or manipulated using the four plates.
Rather, it is more similar to—
programming.
Based on the twelve meridians of the body, one can mobilize positive and negative emotions to release a small energy field centered on oneself, thereby influencing the fortunes of others.
Jiang Liu is not surprised that the extraordinary people in the West were able to discover and utilize the twelve primary meridians because they have a direct internal-external relationship with the internal organs.
Just like the mortise and tenon structure, it is not unique to China; any civilization that knows how to use wood can explore and create it.
Anything that objectively exists and follows can be created by two completely unrelated civilizations or races simultaneously.
At most, the differences in culture, customs, and environment lead to variations in the definition, name, and even usage of the same invention.
Jin Ge's ability to stimulate a method similar to the Qimen Dunjia formation by mobilizing the positive and negative emotions of the twelve meridians is a direction that Jiang Liu and all the sorcerers in Shenzhou had never imagined!
The twelve meridians have the functions of circulating qi and blood, connecting the internal organs and the upper and lower parts of the body, and communicating between the upper and lower parts of the body. Moreover, qi and blood circulate in the meridians day and night without ceasing, following the meridian flow pattern.
