Chapter 100 Out of Control But Not Completely Out of Control
at the same time.
Deep underground, the branch of the Knights of Time and Space.
Gao Jingwu and the resistance fighters disguised as the Knights of Time and Space were staring intently at a black, sand-table-like substance in front of them.
This is a special model built by synesthesia. There are different entrances to the entire underground area in the model, and the location of the invading enemy can be roughly determined through this sand table.
The Time and Space Knights have been able to exist in Dawn City for so many years without being wiped out. Obviously, they also have a very complete self-protection mechanism, and it is not entirely due to the intentional or unintentional connivance of the major conglomerates.
To this day, no one knows the exact location of the Time and Space Knights' branch in Dawn City, which is enough to prove the success of this self-protection mechanism.
However, it was obvious at this time that the invaders were approaching from two directions.
Gao Jingwu's expression was somewhat serious. "Both sides are very fast, and they are attacking from two different directions. We may be under great pressure."
"Captain Chen She, how should we respond now?"
In fact, for people like Gao Jingwu, it doesn't make much difference whether they fight or retreat.
After all, they are now just wandering souls existing in the other side of the space, and this body is just a cheap body earned for free in reality. It doesn't matter whether they die in battle or escape.
If they wanted to escape at this time, they could, because the entire underground space was intricate and complicated. The joint investigation team of the major consortiums could only find the location where the members of the Space-Time Knights had been their headquarters, and it was impossible to search the entire underground space.
As long as Gao Jingwu and others escape with the space-time particles and some relatively important things and hide in a corner, it will be difficult for the investigation team to find them.
At this time, Chen She's consciousness had already come to Grantham. He also looked at the sand table in front of him seriously, and suddenly said: "Strange, this situation seems to be inconsistent with the intelligence."
Gao Jingwu was stunned for a moment. "What's wrong? Didn't the investigation team split into two teams?"
Chen She nodded, "Yes, they were divided into two teams, but the two teams have not yet separated."
Gao Jingwu understood instantly.
From this sand table constructed of space-time matter, one can only see that the various entrances have been touched and destroyed, and it can also be roughly seen that there are two teams advancing here from different directions.
However, the specific number of people and strength of each team cannot be seen on this sand table.
If the specific situation of the two teams is not clear, it is natural to conclude that there are two teams invading at the same time.
But the problem is that Chen She is now in the investigation team. He knows clearly that the two investigation teams have not been separated at all, and the second investigation team is following closely behind the first investigation team.
So who is the other force shown on the sand table?
Gao Jingwu frowned and asked, "Could it be that other financial groups have formed a secret force and want to get a piece of the pie?"
Chen She shook his head slightly, "I don't think so."
"You see, the other force is even faster than the investigation team. The prerequisite for this is that their mastery of synesthesia and the rules of space and time is higher than that of the experts in the investigation team who have mastered synesthesia."
"According to currently known information, there is no such force in Dawn City."
"So I speculate that these people may be the group that pretended to be the Time and Space Knights before. The reason why they entered from another direction was to pretend to be the fake Time and Space Knights, so as to cooperate with the actions of Snow Ley and others."
Gao Jingwu nodded, thinking that Chen She's reasoning made sense.
Synesthesia is a relatively rare ability. Apart from the Knights of Time and Space, there are only a very small number of people who can truly master the advanced synesthesia ability. Similar talents are extremely scarce in each large conglomerate.
According to the intelligence we have so far, it seems that a group of people in the Black Umbrella Group have the ability of synesthesia, and the previous attack on the congressman was probably directed and acted by them. Snow Ley must have known about it, and he may even be the mastermind behind it.
This time when they entered the underground, each force actually had its own ulterior motives, and the Fujido Group and the Black Umbrella Group were obviously on guard against each other.
Because their goal is not only to encircle and destroy the Time and Space Knights, but also to find the results of the Naraku Plan. Whoever gets this result is very important to them.
Although on the surface they are all members of the investigation team and are in harmony with each other, everyone has his or her own little calculations.
However, from the perspective of the Black Umbrella Group, the power of the Time and Space Knights has been severely damaged and is not a concern. Instead, the Fujido Group is the one that needs to be particularly wary of.
Therefore, by allocating a small part of the force to pretend to be the Time and Space Knights, they can lure away the Fujido Group and ensure that they can successfully obtain the results of the Naraku Plan; on the other hand, once an extreme situation occurs, for example, the true strength of the Time and Space Knights is far higher than expected, then the two forces can merge instantly to ensure that they will be the final winner.
After thinking for a moment, Chen She said, "In this case, we can consider taking advantage of this."
"Further strengthen their judgment that the current strength of the Space-Time Knights is already very weak, and induce them to continue attacking the core area."
"In this process, we will delay their progress as much as possible and consume their energy."
"As a result, the internal conflicts of these large conglomerates will inevitably be exposed as they continue to win. We need to wait for these forces to go deep underground, and then create space-time activities to cut off all communication signals, so that they can start fighting among themselves first."
"Then we can reap the benefits."
Gao Jingwu nodded, "Okay, I think this plan is feasible!"
This plan is actually to use these people from the Space-Time Knights as a death squad, constantly using suicide attacks to disrupt the investigation team while luring the enemy deeper, and in the end all these people will be sacrificed.
Even if it were the real Knights of Time and Space, this plan would be difficult to implement.
Because except for a few believers who really sacrificed themselves voluntarily, although most knights were crazy and less afraid of death than ordinary people, they would still be very resistant to such an action that would surely lead to death.
After all, life is an instinct for humans. The Knights of Time and Space are crazy because of their special beliefs, but this does not mean that every one of them is really fearless and brave.
But for Gao Jingwu and his group, there is no such problem at all, after all, they are all dead people. Even if they die again, they can still reunite in the other side of the space and be resurrected again through their real bodies.
For them, as long as they can achieve their combat goals, they will do anything without hesitation.
…
At this time, the investigation team.
The commander of the Black Umbrella Group's corporate army followed closely behind Snow Ley, and in front of them, the special operations team led by Sheriff Marollet, and the armed forces mainly composed of the elite corporate armies of the two large conglomerates, Icefield Defense Group and Mellen Bank Group, were constantly breaking through the underground walls and advancing towards the target area.
The elite Black Umbrella Group led by William is responsible for deciphering the symbols of the Time and Space Knights, locating the position of the Time and Space Knights, and providing close protection for Snow Ley.
In addition to this, there is actually another group of people from the Black Umbrella Group who have sneaked into the underground and are advancing towards the target area from another direction. Their mission is to pretend to be members of the Time and Space Knights and mislead the Fujido Group and others, so that Snow Ley and William can successfully take the lead in attacking the Time and Space Knights branch and seize the results of the Naraku Plan.
The process of moving forward was somewhat monotonous, and Snow Ley could not muster any interest at all.
"The city's architecture was really stupid . They even built such a huge underground area. He had good intentions to provide a place for the untouchables to live, but the untouchables did not appreciate it. They would rather be wanderers in the wilderness than live underground."
"So it's their own choice for them to live freely and miserably."
Snow Lei was obviously not used to the underground environment, and the deeper he went, the more obvious his feeling became. However, his desire for the results of the Naraku Plan forced him to temporarily suppress his impatience.
At this moment, William suddenly frowned, "There is an enemy!"
At this moment, the members of the investigation team in front were instantly alert, but a moment later they showed puzzled expressions on their faces, because the so-called enemy turned out to be only one person.
William said: "It's not even the third level of energy fluctuation."
These people came here fully prepared, so they brought special energy fluctuation detectors. Although this kind of detector is only a primary product and does not work for level 5 or even higher strongmen, it is still very useful for ordinary warriors who detect energy fluctuations of level 1 to 4.
It's not even at the third level of energy fluctuation, which means that anyone in the investigation team can easily deal with it.
Snow Ley was originally in high spirits, but after hearing this he could not help but feel bored. He waved his hand casually and said, "Just send someone to capture him, try to keep him alive, and interrogate him about the location of the Space-Time Knights. This will save us a lot of effort."
The space underground is very narrow. If you rush to deal with one person, you may not be able to use your bullets or have eyes, and you may also hurt each other by mistake. It is completely unnecessary to deal with such small fry.
Two soldiers from the Icefield Defense Group immediately stepped forward.
Although they also carried smart guns with them, they did not use them, but instead drew out alloy swords.
Because close combat makes it easier to leave people alive.
The two soldiers of the Icefield Defense Group were both at level three energy fluctuations, and were considered elite forces in the corporate army. The two of them teamed up to deal with an ordinary Spacetime Knights member who was less than level three energy fluctuations, and it was easy to capture him.
However, what they didn't expect was that this believer did not run away. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes with a calm expression.
Then, a powerful power of synesthesia emerged from him, and the readings of the energy fluctuation detectors in the eyes of the two soldiers began to increase rapidly!
It was seen that the energy fluctuation level of this Spacetime Knights was increasing rapidly, from less than three sets of energy fluctuations to level three, and continued to increase, even reaching the peak of level three energy fluctuations, approaching the state of level four energy fluctuations!
But this boost in power was clearly short-lived and costly.
I saw pitch-black space-time matter begin to flow through the body of this believer. He seemed to go crazy, with black blood flowing from his eyes!
Everyone was shocked.
"Be careful, he's going to lose control!"
This caught the two soldiers off guard, because according to the intelligence they had, once the members of the Spacetime Knights lost control, they could indeed burst out with extremely powerful force, but this also meant that after a very short period of time, they would be killed without a complete body.
So generally speaking, the members of the Time and Space Knights will only choose to lose control and die together with the enemy when they are faced with a desperate situation and have no chance of survival.
The special investigation team has been prepared for this. They can try to stop the other party through certain means at the moment before they lose control.
But no one expected that this guy would launch a suicide attack right from the start!
According to common sense, believers who have reached the peak of the second-level energy fluctuation are already candidate members of the Spacetime Knights. For the entire Spacetime Knights branch, they should be a very valuable reserve force. There is no reason for them to be used like ordinary believers, but now this kind of thing is actually happening.
The two soldiers retreated hastily.
If it was just an ordinary warrior at the peak of level three energy fluctuation, they could still deal with it, but now they were facing a member of the Spacetime Knights who was on the verge of losing control. The other party could turn into a terrible spacetime creature or cause a small-scale explosion at any time!
Once they were touched by those space-time substances, they would be skinned alive even if they didn't die, so the two of them hurriedly retreated.
According to common sense, they would be safe as long as they stayed away from the range of the small space-time explosion as much as possible.
But what they never expected was that this member of the Spacetime Knights who seemed to have lost control actually smiled strangely, and at the same time quickly stepped forward and pounced towards them!
The two soldiers were horrified because what was happening before their eyes was far beyond their imagination.
Aren't you out of control?
But if you look closely at this member of the Spacetime Knights, you will find that he is not completely out of control. He is just at the critical point of being on the verge of losing control, but he stays at this critical point for a little too long.
Under normal circumstances, once reaching the critical point of being on the verge of losing control, it would only take a few seconds to instantly lose control. However, the followers of the Spacetime Knights have clearly exceeded this time by far, yet they still remain at this critical point without any change!
Caught off guard, one of the retreating soldiers was hit in the chest by a punch from the member of the Space-Time Knights.
The heavy protective clothing did not provide much protection. Not only was the punch extremely powerful, but it also carried a lot of space-time matter, which quickly eroded his combat uniform.
Even the soldier felt very confused, because the opponent's punch was obviously very methodical!
The Knights of Space and Time are an organization that specializes in the synaesthesia pathway and does not have much knowledge of the genetic pathway. Powerful fighting abilities are often skills that only the strong in the genetic pathway possess.
Therefore, the knights of the Spacetime Knights usually use spacetime creatures to fight. Even if they occasionally have to fight hand-to-hand, they will fight very unsystematic, not much different from the cuckold punches in street fights.
But the opponent's punch was obviously well-practiced, and both the strength and angle were very tricky.
The soldier was knocked flying backwards. The physical attack plus the erosion of space-time matter caused him to be instantly overwhelmed by severe pain and scream in agony.
The other soldier was not in much better condition. After knocking down one of the soldiers, the cultist, who seemed to be losing control, did not stay, but turned around and pounced on the other soldier.
The soldier was so hasty that he didn't react in time and was knocked to the ground by the believers.
A large amount of space-time matter emerged from the bodies of the believers, and sticky black mud wrapped the soldiers layer by layer!
Although the combat uniforms worn by the soldiers had a certain degree of protection, they were still useless in the face of such high-density space-time matter and were quickly corroded.
These space-time substances continued to corrode his body, causing the soldier to scream as well.
He tried hard to struggle, but was pinned to the ground by the church member and could not move.
This kind of pain is just like being tortured to death!
William frowned and immediately ordered, "Fire at full force!"
The investigation team members in the front row immediately raised their guns and fired intensively at the believer!
The overwhelming barrage of bullets directly engulfed the church members and the soldier he was pinning down .
But after a short and intense burst of gunfire, the church member did not die on the spot. Instead, he instantly lost control and his body quickly expanded into a space-time creature with energy fluctuations close to level 4!
This space-time creature still pounced towards the crowd ferociously. It rushed around, catching the investigation team members in the front row off guard and causing some injuries.
But in the end, under the powerful fire suppression, this space-time creature fell to the ground and turned into a pool of mud.
Someone went up and quickly removed the space-time matter from the soldier who was knocked out first, and then did a simple examination. It was found that his chest had been severely eroded by the space-time matter and he had basically lost his combat ability.
As for the soldier who was thrown to the ground by the believers, he was completely dead.
Everyone at the scene fell silent, with some embarrassment on their faces.
Everyone had been full of confidence before, thinking they were very strong and that they would be able to resolve the battle quickly if they met the Knights of Spacetime. However, they did not expect that the first member of the Knights of Spacetime they encountered would cause them considerable trouble.
But Snow Ley laughed instead.
"Don't mind it, everyone. This just shows that the Spacetime Knights have been seriously injured in the previous operation and are no longer a concern. Otherwise, they would not use the reserve forces at the peak of the second-level energy fluctuation to carry out such a suicidal attack."
"What's more, this defeat was caused by underestimating the enemy. Next time you meet the people from the Space-Time Knights, kill them all without mercy. As long as you are cautious, there will be no accidents in this battle!"
