A hero drinks red without leaving a bottle

Chapter 135 In a World with Resurrection Techniques, if you can't clear K's head, it's incomplete

Huang Lang is no stranger to the weird two-legged cat that suddenly appeared and directly resurrected the emperor's elder brother.

It is from the game [Monster Hunter] series, the enduring NPC——Ailu cat, these small things play a lot of roles in the game, and appear more often, but if you want to say that players are most familiar with Ailu cat, it has to be [ cat car].

Each game has a different resurrection mechanism. If there is a soul healer lady in World of Warcraft, then the monster hunter's resurrection mechanism with the theme of hunting monsters is [Cat Car].

The cat cart, to put it bluntly, is that the player is killed by the prey instead of hunting. At this time, one or two super cute Ailu cats will appear, pulling a cart, regardless of the cold, summer and autumn clouds, no matter what. Dangerous, rescue the player back—of course, the mission will be considered a failure once.

Sometimes when Monster Hunter players say [the cat is dead], it means dead.

Huang Lang has played monster hunting before, and at a certain stage, he was considered a veteran fierce king, wielding a sledgehammer to make a tiger like a tiger, so he naturally recognized Ai Lumao.

But knowing Elmao doesn't mean he knows why the resurrection mechanism in Monster Hunter appears on the Emperor's brother.

When Huang Lang was in shock, Nova, who had been staring at the scene, reported again:

"The target changes."

Hearing Nova's report, Huang Lang hurriedly collected his mind, and pointed the magical telescope in Metal Gear to the morgue in the distance. Through the multiplied binoculars, Huang Lang clearly saw the scene in the morgue. He saw Gerald Stefan sitting up, opened his eyes, saw Gerald raise his hand, fingers clenched and then released, as if wondering.

However, soon, Huang Lang saw a scene that made his heart sink suddenly --- Gerald Stefan's expression.

He didn't know anything about Gerald, he heard about it a few times occasionally, and he also learned about it through casual chats with the eldest lady and Olwina. From what he knew, Gerald Stefan seemed to be He should be a kind-hearted person who understands the overall situation and is kind and indifferent, but...

But the expression on Gerrard's face right now doesn't seem to have any of these qualities. His eyes flashed a rude, presumptuous, primitive and violent light, giving people the feeling of being extremely violent, as if a blast furnace was pouring out of his head. molten steel, and sparks were bursting from his eyes.

Huang Lang suddenly felt that something was wrong, and at this moment, the directional microphone also captured Gerald talking to himself:

"Have you done it once? If you do it twice, it will be a failure."

After saying this, Gerald's expression management went back online, and the momentary spark of violence in his eyes disappeared. Immediately, Gerald fell into a state of thinking.

Gerald's expression stabilized, but Huang Lang's expression began to lose control - for no other reason than what Gerald said.

[Once, and then you fail], this sentence may not make much sense to the ears of ordinary people, or it may sound like a riddle, but the monster hunter players who have just seen the cat car appear, they feel that this sentence is not good. Same thing:

In the monster hunting, if the player is pulled away by the cat cart once, the hunting reward will be reduced by one-third or one-half, but after two or three deaths, the mission will be judged as a failure. cat】.

【Gerald Stefan, is this a monster hunter mission? !With a cat car, there are three more chances? !Or is this just some rhetorical coincidence? !Or did the other party know that I was snooping, so they deliberately said it to confuse me? 】

For a moment, many thoughts and doubts flashed through Huang Lang's mind.

However, the changes in the morgue quickly attracted Huang Lang's attention:

I saw the door of the morgue opened, and when Gerrard heard the door open, he instantly changed into another expression. He looked weak and confused, as if he had just woken up from some kind of nightmare-like sleep It's the same -- if the dead can really be resurrected, it's probably like that expression.

Seeing that Gerrard was supporting his body weakly and trying to get up, the mage who pushed the door and brought in the new corpse suddenly froze in place. The out-of-control wind spell could no longer lift the corpse, accompanied by the sound of the corpse touching Falling to the ground, the mage let out a scream and stumbled back out.

It didn't take long for the acting director to rush over. When he saw Gerald resurrected, he burst into tears. The joy of surviving after the catastrophe made him rush to support Gerald Stefan in an instant. With snot and tears, I thanked the goddess.

Huang Lang was in the distance, his face sinking like water, and he watched the scene quietly. Finally, he saw Gerald being dressed, taken away from the morgue, and escorted all the way into the administrative office of Port Moreby. After the center - [City Lord's Mansion], he put down the binoculars and sat down with his butt against the wall.

"Boss," came the voice of the bobcat who had regained his composure through the communicator, "Do you have any good ideas on what to do next?"

Huang Lang was silent for a long time. He rubbed his fingers repeatedly on the speed switch of the assault rifle. He stopped, and said in a deep voice:

"This assassination is not over yet."

"Should I say that the hero sees the same thing?" Shan Mao's voice showed a little admiration, "The conclusion just analyzed by the intelligence team is the same."

[Any attack on an important target needs to be confirmed. In the earliest days, scouts and spies were used, and later it was developed to use satellites and drones. Although the form has changed, its core spirit has never changed— ——It is necessary to make sure that the target has been destroyed within an acceptable range. If the target is a person, it is natural to confirm that there is absolutely no possibility for this person to come back to life] --- Such a thought flashed through Huang Lang's mind.

In his hometown world, Huang Lang is very clear about the standard for confirming the death of an individual target. After all, he himself was the one in the team responsible for confirming the death of the target.

However, is the death confirmation standard in my hometown really applicable in another world?
Huang Lang once discussed this seemingly joking question with his colleagues/comrades. He remembered that they also took out an assassination in the game and conducted a joke-like case analysis:

It was an assassination in a game called [StarCraft]. In this future world, agent Sarah Kerrigan was ordered to assassinate the Mengsk family who ruled the planet Korha. In this assassination, one The detail, that the agent in charge of the assassination, chopped off the target's head and took it away.

The general view is that this is a means by Agent Kerrigan's boss, that is, the federal government in the game, to intimidate Korhal to spread fear, but for Huang Lang who undertakes medical tasks in the "engineering team", sometimes This is a great professional detail for someone responsible for confirming the death of a target.

Why do you say that?

Because in the world setting of StarCraft, only in this way can the death of the target be ensured, and it can be regarded as a complete targeted elimination mission.

Huang Lang likes StarCraft very much, and he likes to read novels well. In Chapter 32 of StarCraft's official novel [Heavenly Demon], there is such a description:
At that time, the sniper of the Omen team, where the protagonist Jim Raynor was, first hit Vanderspoop with a bullet from a sniper rifle. Kill the person behind Vanderspoop.

Shortly thereafter, Jim Leno [punched] Vanderspie's chest with an electromagnetic gun spike.

At this time, Vanderspump fell down after his shoulder was pierced by a sniper bullet and his chest was pierced by an electromagnetic spike that could penetrate power armor.

The protagonists all thought that Vanderspoop was dead. At that time, the medical soldiers in the team were dead, and none of them provided professional confirmation opinions, so they also thought that Vanderspump was dead.

But is Vanderspoop dead?
No, this Van der Spump came back to life in the follow-up plot [Devil's Contract], and caused the protagonist a lot of trouble.

So, in a high-tech world where the shoulders are smashed and the chest is pierced by an electromagnetic nail and you can still survive, how to ensure that the target has actually been targeted and eliminated?

Yes, as Agent Kerrigan did, chop off the target's head, or the other party may have a way to come back from the dead.

So, in a fantasy world where resurrection spells exist, how do you confirm that your target has been wiped out?
Moreover, it took a lot of effort to create a big explosion to cover up the targeted killing, and consumed so many resources, how to ensure that the target is really dead?
The time limit of the resurrection technique seems to be eight hours, so it may be a way to divert the mages who release the resurrection technique away from the mountain as much as possible and keep them away from the target, but this method is not completely safe. With magic props and other means, it is not impossible to come back early.

Moreover, there is another very important point, what if the assassin knew that Gerrard had an automatic resurrection method like a cat car?
Huang Lang did a rough calculation, and it took almost exactly eight hours since the incident happened just now, which happened to be the time limit for the resurrection technique.

What if the [Cat Cart] held by Gerald will only be activated automatically when Gerald [True Death], that is, when the native resurrection technique cannot work?

If this is the case, then the assassination is not over yet.

If the assassin knew of the existence of the cat car, then there should be two more assassinations, perhaps to kill Gerrard completely;

If the assassin did not know the existence of the cat car, then at least he should have ensured that the resurrection technique would not work, and take some measures such as cutting off the head, or simply destroying the body-if this is the case, the assassin should be killed blocked.

No matter what, this assassination operation is not over yet! ! !

Thinking of this, Huang Lang took Nova and Mata-Harry, galloped on the roof of the building shrouded in starry night, and rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

"Are we ready to intervene? Do we need support, boss?" Shan Mao asked via remote communication.

"Keep watching first, but keep emergency personnel ready and ready to step in."

After finishing speaking, Huang Lang shot out a silver spider thread from his wrist, stuck to a tall tower, put his hand on Nova's waist, and swung forward.

At this moment, in the city lord's mansion...
The acting director, who knew the secret of Gerald's identity, finally told the city lord about Gerrard's identity after asking for instructions remotely. Woke up.

Immediately, he directly dragged Gerald to the core of the Santo's Mansion, and then increased the security of the Santo's Mansion on the grounds that the city was attacked and might attack the Santo's Mansion in the next step, and surrounded the Santo's Mansion like an iron barrel stand up.

At the same time, after disguising Gerald as a guard in the mansion, he also took Gerald to hide in the core fortress area of ​​the Santo's Mansion.

"If that's the case, it should be fine, Lord Gerald." The city lord rubbed the sweat on his forehead and said respectfully to Gerald who was also sitting in the secret room.

At this moment, Gerald has completely returned to his normal appearance. He waved to the city lord kindly, and said with a bit of unbearable and remorse on his face:
"You are bothering, alas, it is true, I have been trying to avoid adding such troubles to my brother and the empire all my life, I did not expect that so many resources were wasted...... Maybe, I should really go back to my brother Not necessarily around..."

"Don't blame yourself too much, this matter has nothing to do with you." Seeing the emperor's brother being so humble, the city lord quickly lowered his posture. If His Majesty is around, this is also a blessing in disguise."

"Oh, this is messed up..." Gerald Stefan closed his eyes with a sad face.

The city lord was about to say something when suddenly he heard a knocking sound from outside the door.

"What's the matter?" the mayor asked.

"Urgent report!" came the answering voice from the door.

So the city lord walked over and opened the door of the secret room. Immediately, he was shocked to find that the guard at the door had fallen into a pool of blood. He was about to turn back in horror, but he found the door of the secret room slammed behind him. closed! ! !
"Lord Gerald!!!" The city lord shouted in horror.

In the secret room, Gerrard looked at the person who closed the door and appeared in front of him with a cold face:
This is a tall and thin man, wearing a black tights, holding a long knife emitting blue light in his hand. The man in black covers his entire face, not even his eyes are exposed. On the slender mask, a large number 0 is flashing.

"You are the one who killed me, who are you?" Gerald stood up, twisting his joints, and asked while making a crackling sound.

The man in black didn't speak, but just played around with the long knife in his hand.

"Did you use a knife instead of a long-range weapon? Ha, did you realize that you were going to behead your head?" Gerald said sarcastically.

The man in black still didn't speak, only the 0 on the mask flashed silently.

　Well, I'm an old interstellar author
　　When Kerrigan chopped off the T of Lao Meng's family, many people said, oh, it's so cruel.

　　But in fact, if you read the two novels of Heavenly Devil and Devil's Contract together, you will find that taking away the head is a technical detail, because Vanderspie can survive after being beaten like a bear. If the old Meng family doesn't take it away head
