It has been six hours since Meteor started VR training.

He has been fighting two typical people all the time, but he can't pass this level. According to the statistics of combat records, he can indeed defeat an enemy alone. , but facing two enemies at the same time, the situation took a turn for the worse.

As the saying goes - two fists are no match for four hands.

If there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, it is indeed possible to have more than one enemy. Many methods can be used to destroy the enemy's will to fight, and the advantage of terrain can be used to avoid the gap in numerical disadvantage.

But there is no such thing as [will collapse] in the violent institutions of the Shinto people, they are not afraid of death.

Under the blessing of pyroxene and spirit body, Meteor's output is similar to that of Executioner, and the two are very close in terms of individual combat effectiveness.

Once the battle situation becomes one against two, there will be a one-sided situation. There is no way for Meteor to deal with two connected cyborgs on the same level in such a narrow space.

They cooperated tacitly, and there were almost no mistakes in positioning, and the continuous offensive became closer. Once he started to be beaten passively, Ah Xing's escape space became smaller and smaller.

In the first hour, Meteor hardly had any strength to fight back, and he would be torn apart by the execution sword in less than fifteen seconds.

In the second hour, his mental state became even worse. Most of the time, he cut the enemy's big sword in two with just one move, and he could no longer maintain the most basic concentration.

The situation got better in the third hour. It seemed that he was gradually adapting to the joint attack of the two enemies. The number of the timer was also slowly increasing, from half a minute to one minute. In the end, he lasted for a full minute and forty-five seconds. Only then surrendered his life.

In the fourth hour, the kid wilted again, as if he had returned all the things he had just learned to the teacher. He forgot how to avoid and escape, and how to escape to save his life.

In the fifth hour, he exploded with astonishing fighting power, almost dealing with the enemy's offensive in a wound-for-injury manner. If he couldn't deal with two at the same time, then kill one of them as quickly as possible, and then deal with the other.

This tactical thinking really helped Meteor open up the situation, but every time he had to entrust his life to the goddess of luck, if there was any deviation during the execution, he would not survive.

At the sixth hour, Ah Xing entered the state of sleepwalking again. Ishimura Chido restarted the VR repeatedly to repair the soldier's soft body, and saw Ah Xing rushing into the training room without hesitation. His eyes were clear and full of courage, and he was depressed and fearful After a crushing defeat, it took only a few seconds for this round to end.

"Bu Meteor" Ishimura Chido waited anxiously outside the room, silently chanting Ah Xing's real name.

This dying old man marveled at the tenacity of Meteor. He had only heard about Anonymous's deeds in myths and legends. In the historical stories of the underground world, these warriors who saw their heads and tails had never failed.

But Bu Liuxing has now died more than 4,000 times in battle, and the fastest defeat took only 1.75 seconds.

"Let the hot wind help you?!" Qiantang kindly reminded: "Let the hot wind turn on your pain suppressor?"

The Pain Suppressor is a protective measure of the VENOM agency.

It can protect Homo sapiens from pain, eliminate pain in extreme environments, and allow the host's nerves to work normally regardless of pain.

Eight years ago, when Jiang Xueming began to forge his own body, he clearly told Meteor that pain is a terrible enemy. Severe pain can cause muscle spasms, make the brain lose consciousness, and cause people to vomit out of pain, making people weak , and eventually lose the will to fight.

But Jiang Xueming never meant to cut off the pain nerves. Pain is a protective mechanism. Xueming's ability to endure pain is very human, and it is the same for Meteor—the eldest brother almost taught him how to fight against pain.

"No need! Qiantang!"

Bu Meteor had just lost his head and was resurrected from the birth point again. This time, he didn't rush in to die, but sat down cross-legged aggressively.

"Hot wind, call out the information I have sorted out."

[no problem. ]

Meteor pouted angrily and folded his hands, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"How long has it been?"

[It's the seventh hour, boy. ]

A high-bright projection light source burst out from the right arm, and many graphic materials were projected on the floor, which were the wound data left by Ah Xing’s more than 4,000 deaths, including the cutting depth of the cutting edge, fatal and non-fatal injuries, and the length of each limb. The pain is clear at a glance.

Ah Xing lowered his head and muttered silently according to the graphic materials.

"The nerve centers of these iron exoskeletons are their weakness. The alloy steel shell from the back to the cerebellum can paralyze them instantly as long as it is smashed."

"But how do you touch this thing?"

"If it's always one against two, it's hard for me to find an opportunity to go around behind them."

"To snatch the center line, put power into their thick chests, and pierce through this nano armor, I need Belloberg, but Belloberg is on Wolf Brother-in fact, I even lost the Iron Knight No, this cane is not with me."

"Do you want to rely on your fists to decide the outcome? If you don't have a guy in your hand, bare fists are like a lamb to an enemy with weapons."

Shimura Qiantang asked tremblingly: "Bu Meteor, do you want to take a rest first?"

"Old man! I'm already resting!" Bu Liuxing roared loudly, seeming very irritable: "I'm already resting!"

Grandpa Qiantang was so frightened that he couldn't help but take two steps back. It was hard for him to imagine what had happened to this young man's inner world——

——During the long six hours, this unknown warrior was placed in the hell of the knife mountain, and the pain he suffered before each death was firmly knocked into his nervous system.

"Meteor. Do you really want to rely on your mortal body to deal with these two executioners head-on?" Ishimura Chido smiled awkwardly, half-jokingly: "He can't do such a thing himself. Although he said That's right, the Shinto people won't talk about martial arts with you - if you go to the electronics museum to grab something, you will definitely be besieged, you can run away."

"Grandpa Qiantang!" Meteor was very excited, he grabbed his messy hair and shouted loudly: "I have already escaped!"

Qiantang: "Escaped?"

Meteor nodded vigorously.

"Ah! I have escaped countless times!"

"In the VR training ground, how many times have I lost! How many times have I escaped!"

"Every time I fail, I will be depressed, and I will feel inexplicably wronged!"

Meteor clenched his fists——

"——Why? I hate losing! I hate losing all the time! Why are these two unsightly guys so fast? Is there really no way for me to win? Could it be that the gap between me and them can only be achieved by installing mods way to make it up?"

[Boy, I advise you to carry out the skeleton transformation as soon as possible. There is no harm in installing some modules. You can also use the essence of the holy beast to defeat these enemies. ]

Meteor shook his head vigorously.

"No! I don't want to do this!"

"Whether it's hardware artifacts or software artifacts, these things are all products of Shinto City. How dare I use the things made by the enemy to defeat the enemy?"

[it's up to you]

"If you are afraid of pain, don't feel pain. If your fists and feet are not as good as theirs, replace your limbs with steel. If your weapons are no match, then replace them with more powerful weapons. Can these be bought with the memories in my mind? In the end— —Am I going to be a [typical person] too?! Do you want me to be like you too? Hot air!?”

Meteor gritted his teeth, recovering some vitality from the torment of nerve damage, he was still muttering silently, reviewing the details of the game.

"The speed of escaping certainly cannot keep up with the explosive power shown by their sudden start. I can make an effective judgment only in the first six rounds-because in the first six rounds, the attack routes of the two executioners are in the same direction. "

"Bu Meteor, you have to remember, you must remember"

"These two electronic brains have 21 initial decisions. They cooperate with each other to attack me in the same position. There are only these 21 combinations. After six rounds, according to my dodging position, three will be derived. One hundred and seventy-seven different variations."

"I need to write down these situations, and then explore more possibilities."

"But this kind of problem-solving thinking is too inefficient, Meteor, you have to remember the most basic action models of these artificial intelligences, their arm span and leg length are all carved out of the same mold, they are the children of Hot Wind. "

"Then forget about the previous problem-solving ideas, you have always done this before."

Meteor babbled admonishing himself, emphasizing it repeatedly.

"It gets stronger every hour, and every hour you learn it all over again."

"If the opening position changes, they are not side by side, but one behind the other, my chances of winning will be even lower."

"So Bu Meteor, let go of your thinking path dependence, and don't memorize the moves by rote - you are not fighting the executioner! You are fighting yourself!"

"You are stronger than a minute ago, and you are stronger than the last second."

"With every breath, you have to get stronger and learn faster than an AI."

Ishimura Chido opened his mouth slightly, looking at this kid in surprise, unable to say anything.

Bu Liuxing has a strong learning ability, and his six-year library career has changed him into a reckless man with a bit of intelligence.

"The only thing that can't be determined." Meteor looked at the right arm: "It's this arm. The ups and downs of my spiritual body are definitely related to you, Hot Wind."

He observed the display panel of the VENOM organ, and one of the values ​​is called [Synchronization Rate]. This value refers to the synchronization rate between Riemann's thinking model and Homo sapiens.

The artificial intelligence of the VENOM organization is generally an electronic brain created by scanning the human brain.

Meteor's electronic brain should also be VENOM scanning Meteor's body, a ghost made by Meteor's head - it should be another Axing, able to take over Axing's body according to the synchronization rate, help Axing work, in When Ah Xing sleeps, when he enters [Elysium], he continues to use the physical body of the real world to carry out production activities.

Synchronization rate is very important to the people of Shendao City, just like the integration of spirit and body emphasized in psionic technology, the spirit body and the physical body must be synchronized to call the soul power to help out.

Except for the extremely special cases like Jiang Xueming and Jason Megan, other VIPs have the ability to command the soul power and use the soul power as a second body.

At this moment, Meteor seemed to be possessed by a hot wind—he gained a strong arm, but it was difficult to keep pace with the spirit body, and it became difficult to call the spirit body to help him fight.

The existence of VENOM is like adding a psionic controller to people. Blackstone controls people's spiritual bodies. The Riemannian thinking model created has psionic characteristics, which is a kind of inferior [standard soul power]—— Even if one temporarily loses consciousness, as long as the synchronization rate is high enough, the ghost in the body can still take over the body and continue to act.

After thinking about it, Meteor discussed with the undead in his arm.

"Now you have to listen to me! Hot air!"

[What? ! Do you want to be the boss? ! ]

Meteor: "You have to trust me, I'm stronger than you."

[ha! This is where it gets interesting! This young man.]

"I know your pain, I have seen part of your memory." Meteor tilted his mouth, pretending to be a sinister expression: "You live in my veins, you search for the memories in my brain all the time— -right?"

[Yes]

"Then you should also know that only I can help you, and now I've changed my mind." Bu Liuxing clenched his fists, "I think the same as you, I want to smash this city. But the picture we imagined seems to be a bit different Same."

[Well.]

Meteor vowed to point his middle finger and control his right arm to make an international friendly gesture.

"You should be a grandfather in your eighties or nineties, Refeng, I don't know much about you, but I can vaguely piece together a complete story."

"You are a fighter, and you have a lot of fame. Many people regard you as a great leader."

"For various reasons, your city has to fall into the hands of artificial intelligence under the torment of natural disasters and man-made disasters. Under the management of artificial intelligence, people have indeed survived, and they are rich in material wealth without worrying about food and clothing."

"But they also fell into this hell woven by the Shinto people and became ghosts who could not be reborn forever. Brother Pingan told me that they can do as much as they can."

"If you are not capable enough, and you want to forcibly intervene in other people's karma, you will suffer in reverse. You are making trouble for yourself."

"But I'm a born egomaniac!"

Meteor compared his thumb with his left hand and tapped his nose lightly.

"Frustrations and tribulations are all drizzle for me. Can you really survive the VR training just now? I guess you can't stand it after dying a few times! But I can grit my teeth and persevere! My willpower is very strong. Extraordinary! Originally, I just wanted to complete my trial mission and bring Ah Hei and Ping An back to the station, but now it’s different, I want to carry your mission on my back too!”

"But I think differently from you - you just want to bury the past, destroy this history, never want to let these souls rest in peace, you have no compassion, no compassion, no love, just as you As I said, you are a lonely ghost, so you have to listen to me."

“Whether it’s an ordinary Homo sapiens, a typical person or something atypical, an artificial intelligence with a personality or something else, even a virtual life in an electronic museum, I think they should all have a full life—no [ dead] life is incomplete.”

"Legion Commander of the Foehn Legion, do you know who I am? It is your honor to fight side by side with me, because I am here, so you don't have to be afraid or panic—everything will be fine."

[You kid is so fucking arrogant.]

"I did what you couldn't do." Bu Liuxing raised his eyebrows and laughed: "My partners and I defeated more than 300 war gangs of the Crazy Butterfly Sacred Sect and wiped out countless sects. I designed an honorary dress, but because there were too many medals to fit, Brother Ming and I rejected this useless ceremony—you should know about it.”

[yes]

"So you have to listen to me, I'm an expert in combat." Meteor withdrew his middle finger, glimpsed on the display panel on his right arm, [synchronization rate] increased visible to the naked eye.

Shicun Qiantang couldn't hear the sound of the hot wind, the old man only knew that Bu Liuxing said something inexplicable to Yikuai's arm, and then he saw the kid undressing.

Meteor took off his shirt, dropped the Iron Knight, and continued training shirtless and bare-handed——

——The cane was originally his only weapon. After so many repeated tests, Meteor decided in his heart that this thing has become a burden. If he does not put down his weapon and use his spirit body to fight, he will not be able to complete his self-breakthrough.

"It's very quiet."

"Hot wind, you're cuter when you're not talking."

The rose pyroxene at the VENOM organ on the right arm began to burst into flames.

"Spirit! Respond to me!"

Meteor raised his arm and punched, a bright red armored arm swung along with the fist, and suddenly protruded from the skin.

The characteristic of the bright red armor is part of Meteor's spiritual body——

"—Success! It's on call!"

Ishimura Chidou was nervous and excited. Although he didn't know what happened, judging from the aura revealed by that kid, he looked like a brave man who defeated his inner demons and was about to restart the first round.

"Do you want to continue? Kid!"

The same tattoo as Xue Ming is branded on the back of Meteor, which is the character of [Fate Favors the Brave].

Ah Xing didn't look back, but gave a thumbs up behind him.

"I've suffered so much just to say this sentence - Brother Ming told me before, it's the confidence and arrogance that I can't envy."

"I am now! I am very strong!"

Ishimura Chido started the battle simulation program again and opened the door of the fighting cage.

Fifteen seconds later, Meteor died again—

——Qiantang is still surprised, this kid said so many bold words just now, and this is the end?

But when Shicun came back to his senses, he realized that this time was different.

Meteor's speed was much faster, he took off his clothes and threw his cane without hesitation, almost unaffected by the nerve damage after the defeat, and hurried towards the battlefield.

The two executioners arrived as promised, and the battle phase began again.

Meteor opened his arms step by step, except for the two arms, the illusory spirit body has already grown half of its torso, and will soon have a complete upper body.

Tough steel can only be made through hard work. Failure is not terrible, and the sharpening of the file will only make him stronger and stronger.

Seven hours and fifty-four minutes—

——Ishimura Chidou widened his eyes, seeing the numbers on the timer set new records again and again.

This time, the unknown fighters persisted for more than four minutes, and they were unarmed. They had to deal with two fully armed typical people without weapons.

With a beep, the kill alarm sounded, and Ishimura Chido instinctively restarted the VR to prepare for the newborn Bu Meteor.

But then another kill alarm caused Shicun's brain to shut down, as if he couldn't understand what happened in that practice room.

A bloody arm climbed up the high wall of the room, Ah Xing climbed up the outer eaves of the cage, and sat there, holding a fresh spine, carrying the nerve center of the exoskeleton of the executioner, almost combining the artificial nerve and the iron shell Fold into several sections.

"Three! Give me three next time!"

After Meteor finished speaking, there was fierce fire in his eyes. A bright red human-shaped spirit body stands beside him, and the armor and limbs of its body are like unicorns——

—they didn't move.
