Chapter 827 Combination of Abilities

The woman in the quasi-Chameleon immediately wanted to use her abilities.

At this moment, she was suddenly out of her mind and stoned. She didnt have the time to think about what had happened and hurriedly released her channeled abilities.

Human Rubberbanding!

The ability she used was officially called Motion Judgment Error, but she preferred the term Human Rubberbanding. It was a term that was both vivid and filled with imagery. This was because once the target group was affected by this ability, all their movements would be roughly controlled by the Awakened and deviate from their expected trajectories.

This included firing. Therefore, despite the two parties being very close, one party would fail to harm the other even after emptying their magazine.

With a bang, Jiang Baimians military exoskeleton fired a grenade.

Under the relatively hasty interference of Human Rubberbanding, it deviated from the target slightly.

Upon seeing this, the woman chose not to be careless. Without thinking about why this was different from the trajectory she had expected, she pounced to the other side.

She was afraid that the grenade would land too close and that the ensuing explosion would engulf her and destroy the bionic artificial intelligence armor on her.

After all, a grenade was different from a bullet. Unless one was extremely unlucky and jumped into a bullets line of firing, it could be ignored. But even if a grenade didnt hit the target directly, it could still deal significant damage as long as it wasnt too far from the target.

Just as the lady pounced into the air, her pupils suddenly dilated, and her gaze froze.

She saw the grenadeit was heading for the area where she was about to land!

How is that possible? Amidst the ladys surprise, she couldnt think too much about it. She hurriedly curled up and reduced her surface contact.

Boom!

The grenade exploded, and the surging flames engulfed the quasi-Chameleon armored figure.

Jiang Baimian wasnt surprised at all. With the military exoskeletons help, she leaped up and closed the distance by dozens of meters.

The reason the other party walked into a trap and took the initiative to pounce into the grenade was that she had been affected by Jiang Baimians Spatial Hallucination ability.

The grenade did deviate from the target, but the enemy saw an illusion-a projection in the opposite direction. This was an application of spatial symmetry. Therefore, she made a wrong judgment.

As an Awakened at the Sea of Origins level, Jiang Baimian could clearly influence a Mind Corridor-level enemy because she had used Chaotic Right Hand before casting Spatial Hallucination.

The Chaotic effect produced by this item wasnt too effective on Awakened at the Mind Corridor level either. Be it the duration or the extent of the effects, they were clearly inferior. But although Mind Corridor-level Awakened wouldnt truly enter a state of unconsciousness and go completely crazy because of this, they would still be left a little confused about what was reality or illusion. It was easy to hallucinate, treating the hallucinations as real and carrying out some haphazard actions in response.

Enemies in such a state would naturally be affected more when facing Spatial Hallucination.

In some of the games Shang Jianyao had played, Chaotic Right Hand greatly weakened the enemys resistance to illusions. Therefore, Jiang Baimians relatively low-level Spatial Hallucination directly triggered a critical strike.

As an item, Chaotic Right Hands ability could be used together with Jiang Baimians abilities.

In addition, the targets reaction when facing the grenade caused Jiang Baimian to make another judgment. She had yet to explore the Mind Corridors depths, so she could only carry out Electromagnetic Interference and not Matter Interference. Otherwise, in such a situation, it was clearly better to ball up and hope that the bionic artificial intelligence armors protection could help her avoid most of the damage if she nudged the grenade a distance before landing.

After the explosion subsided a little, Jiang Baimian used the military exoskeletons comprehensive warning system to determine the enemys current situation.

A large number of scales on her Chameleon-type artificial intelligence armor peeled off, revealing cracks. Some blood seeped out.

From her perception of human consciousness and bioelectric signals, Jiang Baimian believed that the other party wasnt fatally injured and was only a little weaker.

Without giving the enemy a chance to catch her breath or another chance to get her drunk, Jiang Baimian raised one arm that was covered by the military exoskeleton.

Electricity crackled, but it didnt come from the electric eel-like biomechanical limb. Instead, it came from the electromagnetic weapon attached to the military exoskeleton.

An instant later, a round wrapped in a large amount of silver-white light flew out and headed straight for the target.

The surroundings lit up a little.

The woman had just recovered from the dizziness brought about by the explosion when she found herself in peril.

She didnt have the time to use Human Rubberbanding because the electromagnetic round had just left the launcher. No matter how affected Jiang Baimian was, it wouldnt affect the outcome of the shot.

The woman couldnt react in that split second at all. She could only watch helplessly as the electromagnetic bullet struck her chest.

Silver-white light erupted as the bullet penetrated the quasi-Chameleon and penetrated the targets body.

For some reason-or perhaps it was a hidden effect of some item-Jiang Baimians attack didnt hit a vital spot. The electromagnetic bullet pa.s.sed through the enemys left chest, tearing out with smeared blood.

The intense pain made the woman curl up her body and indiscriminately use Drunkard Transformation.

Almost at the same time, Jiang Baimian exerted Chaos and Spatial Hallucination again.

The woman jumped up and realized that she had lost her weapon. She then looked down at her injuries and felt her life rapidly draining away.

Having lost her weapon, she decisively gave up when she saw that she couldnt eliminate the enemy in a short period of time. She clasped her wound and ran into the distance.

She planned on receiving treatment and stabilizing her injuries before making a comeback.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Baimian hesitated for a moment and stopped Spatial Hallucination and Chaos created by the item to allow the enemy to escape.

She originally wanted to throw the other party into a never-ending loop.

Ceningmis, in the main city area, beside a small square.

Shang Jianyao looked at the hazy tower in the distance and asked Genava, Can you see it?

Yes, Genava replied without hesitation.

Do you find it familiar? Shang Jianyao asked.

No. Genava had already completed the a.n.a.lysis and comparison.

Shang Jianyao sighed with emotion. It seems like the New World has such a tall tower. Ive seen it at Yama Tigers place and on the cruise s.h.i.+p.

I heard you mention that this seems to be a landmark of the New World. Genava came to a realization. Thats the root of the problem, so much so that the New Worlds landmark building overlaps to a certain extent with Ceningmis, allowing us to see it several kilometers away?

Thats right. Shang Jianyaowho had one hand paralyzed-couldnt punch his right fist into his left palm. He then wistfully and calmly looked in the direction of the hazy tower and rationally said, Lets go.

Genava didnt object.

The two of them sped up and ran back, but they didnt follow their original route. Instead, they circled around a little to avoid encountering the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute.

When they were about to leave the dark area enveloped by the fog, Shang Jianyao stopped.

Whats wrong? Genava asked as he braked, not adding the word now.

Shang Jianyao smiled. The strengthening of the vortex seems to have stopped; it didnt spread out any further. Yes, its even calming down bit by bit.

Genava a.n.a.lyzed the situation for a few seconds and said, The Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes quarantine measures are showing its effects?

Although he and Shang Jianyao had yet to discover what quarantine measures the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute had taken, they could only guess in this direction in the current situation.

What if its a restriction of some existence in the New World? Shang Jianyao retorted.

Genava couldnt rule out this possibility and could only sigh with emotion. Fortunately, it didnt spread. Otherwise, we could only consider the nuke.

The Old Task Forces bottom line was that they couldnt let the Heartless disease erupt in the Ashlands again.

Shang Jianyao didnt answer Genava and praised him in an incongruous manner, The night is long; the Arbiter of Fate blesses thee!

Genava took nearly two seconds to understand why the fellow said that.

This exploration indicated that there was indeed a large amount of the Heartless virus in Ceningmis. The closer one was to the vortex, the easier it was to be infected. Yet, Shang Jianyao remained alive and kicking even now.

Apart from the Arbiter of Fates protection, there was no other reason.

Uh, it might also be Subhutis protection, Master Zhuangs protection, and Eidolon Nuns protection

Unfortunately, we didnt manage to retain the Awakened. Long Yuehong shook his slightly heavy head and sighed at Jiang Baimian-who was approaching him-as he walked toward Bai Chen.

How do I retain her? Jiang Baimian laughed. As long as shes not dead or unconscious, we will be affected by her abilities. Its much more difficult to knock her out accurately than kill her.

The spa.r.s.e forest-an open environmentwasnt suitable for her to release anesthetic gas. Furthermore, the enemy kept a sufficient distance from her until she was affected by the song. Only then did she enter a 100-meter radius.

Bai Chen then said, Its better for her to be dead than to let her escape.

Yes, yes, yes. I think so too. Long Yuehong indicated that he wasnt stupid. He wouldnt have any delusions of capturing a Mind Corridor-level Awakened alive and obtaining valuable information from her.

It was a little coincidental that the Old Task Force had previously captured the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes commissioner, Khal, by striking him unconscious. If not for Kanna, if not for the premeditated plan, and if not for the various factors, how could the Old Task Force have the opportunity to anesthetize the other party?

Jiang Baimian smiled. It wasnt impossible to kill her if I really tried our best back then, but I gave up.

She looked at the traces of blood on the ground and calmly said, If she dies, how are we to follow the clues after Hey and Old Ge return?
