Chapter 286 I don’t accept it!
The sudden change was beyond everyone's expectations.
Reawaken childhood memories?
On Earth, it is said that some psychologists and hypnotists can develop this ability, but they all require the use of language or other tools to induce it.
And Fan Lu only used his psychic talent.
It’s fine if people in this world get affected, but why would the players also get into trouble?
You know, this is just a game world, and players come here through gaming devices. Can the gaming devices really read the players' memories?
If this is true, then Blizzard is in big trouble.
Since the launch of Looking Up at the Stars, there have been many problems, such as the game being too bloody, violent, cruel, etc. The number of complaints received every day is at least 800, if not 1,000, but these problems are not fatal.
Despite the numerous complaints, Blizzard has managed to survive.
But once it comes to the player's memory...
Can this company remain stable?
At this time, hundreds of players had fallen at the edge of the ruins.
There were some players who were farther away or had special defensive items and did not fall down, but they were also staggering.
They felt dizzy and weak, as if they were sucked into a deep vortex of time and space. The tragic experiences of their childhood emerged before their eyes one by one.
Some people saw the scenes of their family members' death, while others returned to the time when they were bullied at school. These fragments seemed real and fake, like a dream, like a mirage. It was as if they had really returned to the past, but also as if they were in a tragic dream from which they could not wake up.
Many players couldn't stand it, their psychological defenses were directly broken, and they logged off on the spot.
And those players who are unconscious are the worst off.
They cannot log off on their own initiative and can only experience more tragic past events, whether true or false, in their sleep.
"The game company is definitely going to face a massive complaint." Su Xia thought silently as he stood at the edge of the ruins. "If everything is confirmed, then this game can really affect the real world... Is the world in the game real or fake?"
He raised his head, glanced at the gradually darkening sky, and then looked at the players lying around him.
How long will those players who fall into sleep stay in sleep?
If the gaming device detects that something is wrong with them, will it forcefully wake them up and take them out of the game?
These questions are currently unknown.
Su Xia was not affected at all.
Beside him, Yu Tuo's clone was holding a triangular mechanical device emitting blue light.
A faint blue light spread out, protecting himself and Su Xia and blocking out the strange ability.
"A sad dream on a midsummer night. Fan Lu became famous because of this talent." Yu Tuo said calmly, "Most of his abilities are in those eyes. Many people died from this move, but I guess he rarely fought against the mechanical race."
"Lord Yutuo, does this move have no effect on the mechanical race?"
“Yes, but the impact is not significant.”
Through the conversation, Su Xia got more information.
Fan Lu was not well-known during the large-scale racial war of that year. He later became famous because of his pair of eyes.
As soon as he awakened his talent, he relied on his eyes to kill five psychic creatures of the same level, and then became famous.
If it is not a sneak attack, it is difficult to kill multiple creatures of the same level in a head-on battle.
After all, no one is a fool, and if they can't win, they will run away.
The special thing about Fan Lu's eyes is that they have multiple abilities such as dizziness, hallucinations, and mental shock. They can temporarily detain the opponent and kill him slowly.
Of course, there is a lot of information about the mechanical race in the Zero Point Tavern.
Fan Lu should have guessed that the ability of his eyes would have little impact on the mechanical race, but he still used them, perhaps with a glimmer of hope.
"Is this your trump card?" Moser looked indifferent, standing on the abandoned tower. He was facing Fan Lu head-on and should have been the most affected . But now there was nothing unusual.
"snort!"
Fan Lu had nothing to say and could only snort coldly.
Until now, Moser didn't seem to be ready to take the initiative. He stood there motionless, as if he wanted to see how capable Fan Lu was.
This contemptuous attitude made Fan Lu even more furious. He moved like thunder and pounced towards Moser on the tower.
In the air around Mercer, countless dazzling prismatic crystals appeared, like hexagonal mirrors shining with colorful light, condensed together, as if solidifying the space.
“Crack—Crack—”
A heart-pounding sound was heard, and the crystals shone brightly, with countless cracks appearing.
The next moment, the shattered crystal exploded violently with a loud bang, the earth trembled, and the shock wave of pure energy shook the earth, instantly destroying countless surrounding buildings.
Active skill - Broken Crystal!
With the tower as the center, terrifying energy exploded, like a storm.
The nearby players were unable to react in time, and their bodies were shattered and exploded into pieces of flesh and blood.
Their deaths vividly illustrate what it means to sacrifice one's life for the sake of gain.
Those players who fell into a deep sleep were lucky. They died directly in this wave of explosions, came out of their deep sleep, and woke up from their VR devices.
Now, among those who were near the center of the battlefield, only Yu Tuo and Su Xia were still standing.
When the storm subsided, Fan Lu's face turned pale. It was obvious that this attack consumed most of his spiritual energy, so that his breath was weakened a lot. He had to take out a few spiritual energy replenishing potions and drink them.
“Hoo…Hoo…”
His body was trembling slightly and his breathing was unstable. He took a few deep breaths before he stabilized.
However, Mercer, at the center of the storm, remained safe and sound.
“Interesting.”
Regarding this terrifying crystal energy storm, he only gave a four-word evaluation.
There was not a single tear on his body, and he was still wearing his usual black tuxedo. Even the dilapidated tower building beneath his feet was not affected and remained in its original state.
This illustrates a horrifying fact - not only can he save himself, he also has enough energy to save the building beneath his feet!
“How could this happen?” Several other tavern members stood at the edge of the ruins, their faces pale.
Such a terrifying move can't do anything to Mercer?
If they were in the center of the storm, they would be seriously injured if not dead.
On the other side, Su Xia, standing next to Yu Tuo, noticed a big problem.
Fan Lu's move just now was indeed very powerful, but the energy was too dispersed. More than half of it was wasted in the meaningless spread of the storm, resulting in the deaths of a large number of onlookers, while Moser, who was at the center, did not bear much of the power.
Yu Tuo also saw the problem: "This move is too powerful, he can't control it himself, and he wasted a lot of spiritual energy."
Su Xia asked, "Master Yutuo, why is it that I can't control my skills? This shouldn't be the case."
"Well, this situation is indeed rare." Yu Tuo nodded, "You have only been exposed to psychic energy for a short time, so you naturally don't know, but there have been some examples in the past."
As he spoke, Yu Tuo stretched out his hand and gently grabbed the void in front of him.
In his hand, there was actually a broken multi-faceted crystal energy body, shining with colorful light.
After the storm just now, the broken energy did not completely disappear, but turned into small broken crystals, which floated around under Fan Lu's control, shining with colorful light, like countless fluttering butterflies.
Now Yu Tuo grabbed one and said calmly: "The so-called skills are actually just a way to teach you how to control your spiritual energy."
"Please give me some advice, Master Yutuo."
Su Xia asked seriously and did not resist just because Yu Tuo was his opponent. After all, Yu Tuo had been exposed to psychic power many years earlier than him.
Being good at learning from your opponents is also a good attitude towards life.
"Many years ago, humans discovered oil as an energy source, but the efficiency of using oil was extremely low at first. Later, various technologies were used to gradually improve it... Psychic energy is also an energy source, so naturally it also requires various improvement technologies."
Yu Tuo was very patient and explained slowly: "What we call skills are just the techniques that our predecessors have created to control and use spiritual energy. We don't need to understand them, we can just use them directly, understand?"
"I understand."
Su Xia nodded. He understood that being able to drive did not require being able to build an engine.
In fact, with his current abilities, he can already try to create some basic skills.
But then he thought: "Fanlu is already a level 5 creature, and even he can't control this technology. Could it be that the creator prepared it for higher-level psychic creatures?"
"Yes, that's right."
"But I heard that... the strongest person on this planet is a sixth-order psychic creature. If this technology for controlling psychic energy is prepared for sixth-order psychic creatures, then wouldn't the creator be even more powerful?"
"Yes, you will find out in the future that this world is bigger than you think."
Yu Tuo did not say it explicitly, but he hinted that some control technology might come from the starry sky.
In his opinion, Su Xia is too weak now, and it is not a good thing for him to be exposed to those things too early.
Su Xia naturally understood this.
As early as in the Oasis Camp, he had heard Hal talk a lot about the starry sky.
While the two were communicating, the battle over there was still going on, with constant roars and terrifying shock waves one after another.
“Boom!”
Fan Lu became furious, a trace of blood appeared on his face, and he suddenly guided the floating colorful shattered energy crystals in the air to crash into Moser.
This move was quite gorgeous, and looking down from high above, it seemed as if hundreds of colorful butterflies were flying at high speed, turning into dazzling colorful vortices, burning themselves just to cause damage to Mercer.
However, Mercer looked normal, and he just leaned lightly on his cane.
“Dongdong——”
The wooden surface of the cane cracked, revealing the silver-white mechanical structure inside.
Small hollow mechanical beads flew out from the cane, spinning rapidly, shining brightly, and forming a blue light curtain, like a blooming light blue lotus, blocking all impacts.
The battle between the two was rapid, with a bit of splendor and beauty. Various colors were mixed in the center of the battle, like a mixed watercolor painting.
The players around died again and again.
But they still refused to give up and insisted on getting closer to the central area to record those precious scenes.
“Ding—ding—ding—”
Suddenly, several clear and pleasant sounds rang out, echoing between heaven and earth.
The countless energy crystals at the center of the battle slowly melted and turned into smooth mirrors, spinning rapidly around Mercer.
In one of the mirrors, a pair of deep eyes suddenly appeared.
A hand appeared from the other mirror.
Each crystal mirror is filled with a strong murderous intent, and from time to time strange and inexplicable attacks will emerge from them, making it impossible to guard against.
But these attacks still couldn't do anything to Mercer who was at the center, and every attack was resolved silently.
"break!"
After a moment, Moser suddenly shouted softly.
The cane shattered, turning into thousands of broken and sharp mechanical fragments, which burst out and instantly shattered the crystal mirror surrounding him.
This was the first time that Mercer took the initiative to attack, and his move was shocking.
If an ordinary person were there, he would have been minced into pieces by those sharp metal fragments.
"Do you have any other abilities?" Mercer asked calmly with a normal look.
"Don't be too happy too soon!"
Fan Lu roared angrily and waved his hand. Countless mirror fragments were guided back and turned into a complete mirror again.
The cracks on the mirror disappeared, and everything returned to normal, spinning rapidly around Mercer again.
Only this time, what appeared in the mirror were no longer individual body parts, but complete Fanlu.
A moment later, six identical Fanlu walked out of the mirror, each of them was so powerful that it was impossible to tell which one was real and which one was fake.
"Illusion?" Moser smiled lightly, not taking it seriously. "There's a bug in the Zerg who's better at illusion than you are. Maybe you should learn from him."
Hearing this, Su Xia, who was standing on the edge of the ruins, felt something in his heart.
Is the bug in this sentence referring to the octopus monster Haidar?
The octopus monster looked like Mr. Ke. He had been following the Zerg Queen for many years and had a thorough understanding of illusions. The first time he met Su Xia, he appeared in the form of an illusion.
Did Mercer and Haidar fight each other?
One is a close confidant of the Mechanical Overlord, and the other is a subordinate of the Zerg Queen. They both have a high status in their respective races, so the scene of their fight would definitely be unusual.
The octopus monster and the queen should be in a room under the Zero Point Tavern.
Such a horrific battle took place here, would it arouse the interest of both of them?
Thinking of this, Su Xia looked around, but did not find any special figure.
"What are you looking for?" Yu Tuo asked him.
"My adventurer friends." Su Xia replied.
"They are brave, but this is not a battle they can interfere in."
"Yeah, I want them to stay away."
Su Xia looked carefully again, but still found nothing.
I think that even if those two people wanted to come and watch the fight, they would use illusion to shield themselves and hide themselves well.
At this moment, another earth-shattering bang erupted in the center of the battle.
"boom--!"
The six phantoms of Fanlu shattered, and the only main body flew backwards, spitting blood, and fell heavily into the ruins in the distance.
Pieces of cement slabs were smashed by Fan Lu's body. His disheveled body left a bloody trail on the ground, and it was unknown how many times he rolled before he stopped.
"cough……"
“Ahem…”
Fan Lu coughed up blood, his clothes were torn, and his body was covered in blood mixed with dirt from the ruins. He supported himself on the ground with trembling hands and climbed up tremblingly.
He looks so miserable now, even worse than those homeless people on the street.
Several other tavern members exclaimed and hurried over to support him.
"Boss, don't move, your ribs are broken!"
"Your right hand is also broken. Don't move. I will set the bone for you immediately!"
“…”
Some people hurriedly took out medical equipment, while others looked nervously at Mercer in the distance, fearing that Mercer would attack again.
Mercer did not continue to move, but stood quietly on the abandoned tower.
He glanced at Fan Lu briefly, then turned around and continued to look at the distant horizon, watching the last ray of afterglow sink into the darkness.
To him, the battle just now seemed like just a small episode while he was enjoying the sunset.
The night wind blows gently, caressing the dust floating on the battlefield.
Before the war started, no one thought that the battle would end in this way.
The powerful member of the Zero Point Tavern, the level 5 creature Fan Lu, was unexpectedly unilaterally crushed by Moser.
From beginning to end, Mercer did not use any powerful abilities and just stood there without moving much.
"It ends just like that." Su Xia was a little disappointed. He originally wanted to see Moser's trump card, but Fan Lu was defeated too quickly and didn't even reveal a single trump card.
In the distance, on the ruins, Fan Lu spat out a large mouthful of blood, clenched his fists and shouted: "I don't accept it, let's fight again!"
Several members of the Midnight Tavern looked horrified and hurriedly stopped him.
"Boss, you should give in now..."
