King of Black Mist

"It's started, it's started!" Li Qianxia became excited as if watching a movie.

She tilted her head and explained to Yang Qinglan: "There will be a scene later. Whoever progresses faster will appear on the big screen. These divine crystals are-"

Destructive shouts erupted from the audience. Those who came to the scene were either well prepared or were masters themselves. If they were ordinary people, they would be shocked to death by the volume on the spot.

Amidst the roars of hundreds of billions of people, Li Qianxia and the others felt like they had turned back into mortals. They could speak normally and could not hear each other's exchanges.

boom!

The home screen lights up.

"It's coming! It's coming!" Li Qianxia gave up explaining to Yang Qinglan and held her hand tightly.

The wind howled, the heavy rain continued, the towering lighthouse swept in all directions, and the docks were densely packed with containers.

"Pa!" A wet, deformed hand rested on the shore, like a corpse-like creature landing.

A message appeared on the screen.

[Participant: Eldar-Yake]

[Divine Will: The Dead Corpse Resurrection]

Lightning flashed across the sky, and the sky and the earth were blazing white. When it shone on the dead body, it looked as white as a Japanese doll. In addition, the whole body was soaked, which made it even more eerie and terrifying.

"Bang!" The lightning disappeared and the thunder roared like an explosion.

Amidst the thunder, the dead bodies swooped out.

"Who?" An inspection worker at the dock just turned around, and the light in his hand only illuminated a dark shadow.

The worker's mouth was torn open, and the dead body crawled inside like it was hiding under the quilt.

"Well!!!!"

The horrified whimpering of the workers was so chilling that many viewers hunched their shoulders.

But there were still some spectators who went into a frenzy.

"Yak! Yak! Yak!"

"The Spirit Clan is number one! Long live the Spirit Clan!"

Fanatic shouts, accompanied by the faint but clear desperate sobs of the workers on the screen, kicked off the second level of the ranking match.

"Hiss—" the sound of paper being torn.

Bloodstains appeared on the worker's skin, and they opened one after another, just like a doll bursting with threads. The contestant Yak still had more than half of his body not stuffed inside.

Yake pulled it casually, completely tearing the worker apart, taking off this layer of clothes, and the dead body jumped up and disappeared from the big screen.

The scene switched to another patrolling worker, who saw a black shadow jumping on the container.

The worker wiped the rain off his face and found that the black shadow had disappeared. He turned around and was about to walk away. When he wiped the rainwater, the black shadow fell on his face.

The screen is the worker's vision. Online and offline audiences, especially those who enter the virtual environment, feel as if they are being hit by a black shadow, and they scream one after another.

The camera zoomed in on the second worker's whimpering, and there was another flash of lightning. In the brief light, in the lower left corner of the screen, countless hands were vaguely visible, resting on the shore.

Li Qianxia was very excited when she saw it, and explained to Yang Qinglan in a low voice: "It seems that this is the experience of a dead water corpse landing on the beach through heavy rain, and realizing the 'divine will - the resurrection of the dead body'. Players, no, the contestants will take the place of the dead body and reenact it." Whether you can understand this scene or not depends on the contestants themselves!”

As he spoke, several lampposts as straight as swords fell down on the dock in the picture, and police sirens rang out one after another.

Gunshots rang out, hitting the container and sending sparks flying.

Soon, the clouds in the sky were forcibly dispersed, and an artificial sun turned the dock from a dark rainy night to a clear day.

"According to the intelligence I collected, everyone failed to understand this time." Li Qianxia began to look forward to the next scene.

As she said, the screen disappeared, and the contestants on the stage who understood this divine intention suddenly woke up.

A faint smell of rain and corpses filled the air from Yak's body.

"ah!!"

"Yak! Yak! Yak!"

Yak's fans fell into madness again. The rainy air and corpse odor represented that Yak had reached the threshold of 'divine will - the resurrection of the dead body'.

"This spiritual tribe is also very popular. Their tribe is better at understanding divine will than the divine will star people." Yaochi's delicate and beautiful face was a little solemn.

She was not worried that Li Changzhou wouldn't be able to advance, but she was worried that he wouldn't be the first to advance.

Their money has all gone up. Although all the earth's money won is theirs (the earth's money will be the same as when it was brought in), but their own money is also a lot of money, and they feel bad if they lose. .

And the odds of finishing first are ridiculously high, reaching 23!

"Where's my brother? Where's my brother?" Li Qianxia didn't have time to look at the screen and looked for Li Changzhou.

"Over there." Yang Qinglan pointed. She and Li Changzhou had a "life and death companionship" between them. They could sense each other's position, which was much better than the mysterious twins.

Because there were too many contestants on the main stage, Li Changzhou and Si sat in front of a piece of amethyst that divided the stage.

"Why is that guy sitting with Si Si?!"

"Go to hell!"

"Which race is he from? They destroyed his planet!"

"Si Si! Si Si!"

Various missiles and debris were thrown onto the stage, and were blocked by a layer of purple light.

Li Changzhou waved to the enthusiastic audience to express his gratitude and indicated that they did not need to send flowers or gifts. It was too polite.

"From today on, people on Earth also have cards in the universe." He sighed happily.

Si glanced at him: "I think you must have misunderstood what they meant."

In order to prevent interference and avoid cheating, contestants cannot hear the sound from the stands, and their own communication equipment and skills are also abandoned.

"Really?" Li Changzhou smiled.

Dozens of phantoms (possibilities) rushed out from Si, and after a while, she left the stage.

Li Changzhou watched her leave, and just as he was about to start to understand, Little Demon Star emerged from the crowd like a child and patted him on the shoulder.

"Together?" Little Demon Star also sat down.

"Okay." Li Changzhou responded.

The two said hello and closed their eyes at the same time.

◇

".Weapons! Put down your weapons immediately!"

boom!

Li Changzhou looked down and saw that a thick and strong mechanical leg chopped up a communicator on the ground, leaving a hole in the hard ground.

"Go! Go! Take the money and the hostages!"

Li Changzhou began to breathe and turned his eyes to take in the surrounding situation.

Ordinary people squatting on the ground?

A gangster wearing black armor?

Place

The customer service staff of the holographic projection dutifully announced: "Please go to counter No. K on 1256 to handle business. The Universe Development Bank Laser Planet Branch will serve you wholeheartedly."

Robbing a bank?

"Let's go!" A gangster also wearing black armor shouted to Li Changzhou.

The voice sounded like it was Little Demon Star, so Li Changzhou turned around and followed.

boom!

A gangster walking in front raised his hand and shot a burly man with sharp horns to death.

The male corpse hit the floor with a loud thud, causing screams.

"Shut up!" Little Demon Star raised his gun and pointed it at everyone as he walked toward the back door.

"How did you know it was me?" Li Changzhou was a little curious.

Their bodies have all changed, their abilities and skills have all disappeared, and only their consciousness has entered the [divine crystal].

"The food tribe can even eat their names. Even if you become the feces of a smelly beast, I can still identify which one among the countless particles is you." Little Demon Star explained quickly and pulled the trigger with his finger.

With a bang, the head of a bank security guard who was trying to pick up the gun was smashed together with the ground.

The two of them walked forward quickly, and the drone flew towards them. Its steady body hovered over the bank hall, and it stared at the hostages like a dog guarding a flock of sheep.

Xiao Moxing picked up a box and threw it to Li Changzhou, then picked up another one and continued to move forward.

"I have a hunch that I came here in vain this time," she said.

Li Changzhou had read the information collected by Yaochi and Li Qianxia, ​​and he could tell whether it was suitable or not.

He didn't intend to understand God's will for the first time, so he opened the box with the idea of ​​gathering as much information as possible.

Inside are pieces of metal.

Good guy, just this box is enough to buy the earth - the earth before the value game.

"Hurry up, the two in the back!" the gangster responsible for guarding the back door shouted at the two.

Li Changzhou raised his knees, closed the box, and strode up.

call!

The cold wind of the fist struck from the side. Li Changzhou looked over casually, his eyes——

Bang!

He staggered, took two steps back, hit his back against a pillar, received a punch in the face, and his faceplate shattered.

There was the sound of gunfire in his ears, and Li Changzhou couldn't see the situation clearly. The holographic screen of his visor was shattered by the punch just now, and the hum of machine malfunction was like an electric drill hurting his eardrums.

Li Changzhou's big hands wrapped in black armor clasped the helmet and tore open the visor as if it were skin.

"Go!" The gangster behind them roared again and fired wildly with short bursts.

The security guard who had sneak-attacked Li Changzhou raised a robotic arm to block the crazy bullets, then rolled and hid behind another pillar.

Xiao Moxing discarded the empty pistol and turned around to rush into the back door. Li Changzhou let go of the broken mask in his hand, glanced at the security guard, and walked over in two steps.

"What are you doing! Retreat!" shouted the gangster behind him.

The security guard caught a glimpse of Li Changzhou, and the mechanical arm he installed flicked, biting him like a snake.

Li Changzhou advanced instead of retreating. He raised his hand and punched him. In the eyes of the security guard, it was like a sharp arrow.

Bang!

The mechanical arm exploded, parts flew into the sky, and the air exploded. This arrow wiped off a pillar, shattered the mechanical arm, and blew the security guard's head off!

He has lost his power, but his consciousness and perception are still there. The artistic conception of "Houyi Shooting the Sun Fist" is enough for an ordinary person to punch through a cement wall. It is also said that although the body in front of him is weak, it is still stronger than three ordinary people. Four times.

Li Changzhou caught a glimpse of another security guard rushing towards him, but without quarreling with him, he turned around and entered the back door.

As soon as I walked in, there was a loud bang and dust. A modified truck smashed into the wall like a beast and plunged into the bank.

The door to the box opened from the inside, and a gangster also wearing black armor waved to everyone: "Quick, get in the car!"

Seven or eight gangsters quickly got into the car in an orderly manner.

Li Changzhou was the last one. Just as he was about to go up, the screams of the gangsters came from behind, and then a short stick was poked out of the back door.

Da da da!

Flames flew everywhere, and Li Changzhou lifted the safe to cover his face.

Even though his body was wearing black armor, he still felt waves of shock and pain.

When the gunshots died down, Li Changzhou twisted his arm and threw the safe into the truck that had started. He followed closely and chased after him. The gangster in charge stretched out a handle and pulled him into the truck.

The door closed and the truck began its rampage.

The sides of the cargo box were hung with firearms, ammunition, drones, and grenades, just like a small arsenal.

In the corner of the cargo box, two women stayed with the safe as hostages.

"What kind of divine will is this?" Li Changzhou asked Xiao Moxing in a low voice.

Contestants cannot rely on outside power, but there are no restrictions between contestants, provided that other contestants are sincerely willing to help.

"Cyber ​​Divine Will." Little Demon Star spoke very quickly, "In order to make better use of machinery, the ascended people connect the machinery with their own nerves and implant various chips to achieve higher flexibility than physical hands and feet. As they ascend, The deeper the degree of mechanical oppression on the nerves due to prolonged use, etc., the deeper it will become, and it will gradually turn into a madman, but the 'Cyber ​​God's Mind' can be immune to this negative impact and can soar without limit."

The sirens are getting closer.

"If my guess is correct, we will eventually be cornered by the police and awaken the cyber god." Little Demon Star took off his helmet and put the pistol against his chin.

boom!

The blood and brains made Li Changzhou look miserable.

◇

[Participant: Earthling-King of Black Mist]

[Divine Will: Cyber]

"Found the information!" Li Qianxia moved the holographic projection on her arm to the middle of the three of them.

The owner of ‘Divine Will-Cyber’ is a soldier.

Before he went to the battlefield, he was still an ordinary human being. After he retired, only his head and a small piece of his chest were still flesh.

Such a high degree of ascension proves the dangers of war and also proves his outstanding glory.

The night before he was to take over as local police chief, after drinking, he suffered a cybernetic attack and killed a prostitute.

He was supposed to have a bright future, but he was deprived of everything because of a drunken murder.

After that, the soldier's source of livelihood was the living expenses guaranteed by the GI Bill of Rights. He lived in a windowless basement in the Crow District, which was moldy and full of bugs all year round and could be used as food. The weekly rent was 70.

If you are capable but not doing well, joining a group of cybermaniacs to rob a bank is a no-brainer.

In the pursuit battle, when he was about to be killed, this soldier who poured his blood on the battlefield and gradually went crazy after falling over a bottle of wine, awakened the "divine will-cyber" and graffitied three streets with human blood!

On Fourth Street, the soldier, who had reached the pinnacle of his life, fell into a trough again, a trough darker than any before. The soldier was killed and his divine will was taken away from him.

"After awakening to divine will, no one persuaded him to surrender?" Yaochi asked.

Li Qianxia took another look at the report and said, "It's not written on it. Oh, now is not the time to care about this!"

"Little Demon Star is going to retreat." Yang Qinglan said.

In the picture, Little Demon Star pointed the gun at his chin and shot himself with a bang.

On the stage, as soon as Little Demon Star's body opened its eyes, it immediately flew towards another crystal.

"The Gods also have a great advantage in this level." Yang Qinglan looked at Si on the other stage.

See which divine intention you understand the fastest among the possibilities. In reality, it will be a hundred times faster than other contestants who keep trying.

"Your brother should also give up. He knows nothing about machinery." Yaochi said.

Before he finished speaking, Li Changzhou shot himself. Not only him, but two gangsters also committed suicide. The gangsters in charge were stunned.

As the driver asked, "Is there any need to continue running?", a missile exploded the truck into a sea of ​​flames. The scene was so realistic that the heat wave seemed to hit the audience's noses.

Li Changzhou did not go to other sub-stages like Little Magic Star. Instead, he was suspended in the sky and observed the situation of all the contestants.

His eyes first fell on the Eldar Yake, feeling the water vapor and corpse odor on his body, and quickly looked away.

"Is this person starting now?"

"Looks like he's very confident in himself."

"What race?"

"So handsome! I don't know how much it costs to sleep for one night."

What Li Changzhou did was nothing unusual.

It is not that simple to comprehend the will of God. There is a step-by-step integration process. For example, for the spirit race Yak, with the advantage of the spirit race, the first realization only allowed him to initially substitute into the 'Dead Water Corpse'.

Through this phenomenon, other contestants can guess what kind of divine intention this is and whether it suits them, thus saving a lot of time.

But no one does that at first.

At the beginning of the competition, there were not many contestants with ‘omens’, so why not try your luck by finding a few [divine crystals] first.

The risk of this approach is also high.

The contestants present are all the best in each race. As long as there is time, almost 50,000 people can understand a divine will, but only 500 people can advance to the third level.

Observe the ‘symptoms’ of other contestants, choose the divine intention that suits you, and then start to understand. It is very likely that you will waste time and be eliminated accidentally.

What's more, Li Changzhou still has to try his best to get first place.

He was fully focused and tense, not sparing any of the 50,000 players present.

The other contestants looked up at him, gritted their teeth, then lowered their heads and continued.

If they could hear the sounds outside, the audience could have become Li Changzhou's helpers - a burst of enthusiastic noise basically meant that someone had another 'omen'.

A mechanical warrior had a wave of water behind him, and Li Changzhou immediately turned his attention towards him.

After looking at it intently for a few seconds, I looked away again. Now I have eliminated three stages, and there are still 497 seats.

496 seats. Faith category;

Seat 495. The ghost-like creature emits a gloomy laugh, and its body becomes more illusory;

Seat 494. The mechanical creature shed a trace of blood, as if it was about to grow flesh and blood;

Seat 493. Contestants with short stature and huge heads carve patterns on their weapons;

The water vapor and corpse odor on Eldar Yak's body became heavier and heavier, and his hair even began to drip.

So fast!

Once he completely turns into a corpse in dead water, it means that he has fully understood the 'divine will - the resurrection of the dead corpse'. This is the spirit clan, the number one among the spirit clan!

Li Qianxia and Yaochi were both slightly anxious.

Yang Qinglan calmed down. She just wanted Li Changzhou to enter the third level and get the overall first place in the ranking competition.

Li Changzhou's face was calm, his eyes moved rapidly in his eye sockets, and his emotions could not be seen.

Si opened his eyes and raised his hands to try to grab something from the void. In previous ranking competitions, as long as the Protoss entered the second level, their results were among the best without exception.

Si put down her hand, but did not continue to comprehend. She suddenly looked up at Li Changzhou and waved to him.

Li Changzhou swooped down and landed next to her.

"Combat type." Si said coldly.

"Thank you." Li Changzhou sat cross-legged.

Three hours later, Li Changzhou stood up, opened his hand and grasped it, and a divine golden gun with automatic navigation appeared in his hand.

boom!

Fireworks were in full bloom, and the stage was so large that it could accommodate hundreds of billions of spectators. The stage was wrapped in fireworks trees, and everyone was looking at Li Changzhou.

On another stage, the spirit race Yak stood up. He was like a 'dead water corpse', his whole body was pale, and he was staring at Li Changzhou as if he was trying to revive the corpse.
