I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

The mechanical pupils flowing with countless golden information flows quickly enlarged in front of Cheng Rang, and then——

boom!

The white line split the upper and lower parts of the Ex-Machina's body in an instant, and the wind pressure swept by the high-speed movement made a loud noise, causing ripples on the carpet of unknown yellow flowers.

The second cloud of dust was lifted high, covering everything around, and falling into a deathly silence.

Chapter 14 Pseudo-code · Secret Slashing Style

what is that?what happened?Has Cheng launched an attack on the Ex-Machinas?Did the attack work?

Rick stared at the black-haired girl who was still riding on him in a daze, and countless questions popped up in his mind.

He once imagined how Cheng Rang used that delicate weapon to slay demons. It was nothing more than powerful power, coupled with exquisite skills, to slay monsters with low intelligence and flaws all over their bodies...

But even though that imaginary picture is outrageous, it is still within the scope of what humans can do, so Rick only pays attention to his powerful combat power.

Now I saw the attack he launched with my own eyes - it surpassed the limit of the speed of sight capture. The moment he held the handle of the knife, Rick lost his capture of his figure.

He could only feel the extremely sharp and terrifying air coming towards him.

If you want to talk about the first feeling, it is that you have surpassed the light and become the light...

The airflow that was squeezed and exploded also confirms this point, which is even more outrageous than the blood-bad individual of the beastman race...

This is no longer a power beyond the constraints of the laws of physics, but beyond cognition.

"It's like crushing an ant to death." Rick finally understood why Ivan, who looked complicated at the time, used such a metaphor to describe this guy.

click!

The sound of putting the knife into the sheath echoed crisply on the empty platform, and the wind blown up by the sword blew away the dust and mist behind him that blocked his vision. Cheng Rang turned his head slowly, looked at the unscathed Ex-Machinas on Rick, and muttered road:

"This time the fucking trouble seems to be a bit big..."

【Ding】

[Unable to cause damage to the main quest target of the ongoing main quest "The Witness", the target is forcibly marked as friendly to the player]

The bright yellow notification popped up by the system flickered above the Ex-Machina girl's head.

【Invincible】

Fuck!I don't agree, I want to appeal!Why is this system so eccentric!

The same is thrown into the arms, why am I the only one who died a hundred times, a hundred times!

With a plop, Cheng Rang fell to his knees, his whole body turned gray.

"Just because she is the protagonist?"

Although he had vaguely guessed this point, Cheng Rang still wanted to try it, and the straightforward reaction of the system told him clearly.

Indeed, these two are the protagonists.

So shouldn't it be me who has the aura of the protagonist?

Ah—I'm so envious...

"[Analysis....Analysis...Analysis....]Analysis...."

However, after this Ex-Machina girl was immune to Cheng Rang's secret attack under the restrictions of the system, she seemed to have fallen into a state similar to a crash, and no longer responded to any external stimuli.

Even when Cheng Rang pulled Rick out of her body, he just knocked her stiff to the ground.

"[Analyzing...] Analyzing...Solution...."

The babbling steam was ejected from the small disc above the girl's head due to the rising heat, her wide eyes were being filled with information flow, and she was staring at the high ceiling of the ruins without blinking.

"What happened, you attacked her?" Rick finally recovered.

"I'm not, I haven't, and I don't know what happened." Cheng Rang folded his arms to block Rick, denying everything just now.

"That just..."

"I just wanted to draw a knife to rescue you, but then I don't know what happened and it became like this."

"Can...."

"I'm human, Rick, you've confirmed it many times."

Cheng Rang answered all Rick's questions with just one sentence.

Yes, Cheng is indeed human.....

It is impossible for human beings to act beyond common sense.

But what exactly did he see with his own eyes?That white light...

"Are we going to run away?" Seeing that Rick was lost in thought, Cheng Rang took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"It's useless." Rick shook his head. "Humans have been targeted by them, and we can't escape at all. The only way is to figure out what she wants to do."

"So she just understood the code?"

"You know this and still show hostility to her?"

Cheng Rang was at a loss for words, paused for a while, and changed the topic: "Then what should we do now, when she wakes up, we can discuss life with her?"

"So you're pretty sure you can defeat this Ex-Machina, right?"

Terrible heat came from Rick's undead black eyes, and the piercing pain made his back ache.

been seen through.

The hand holding the handle of the knife, the movement of the body muscles, the eyes, the expression - in Rick's gaze at that moment, the man holding the long knife not far in front of him didn't have any intention of losing.

Only this, only this.

Cheng Rang is not like a human in this world.

That is the eyes of the strong, and the human beings here are the [-]% weak, the lowest, the most humble, the most unwelcome, and the weak who will break at the touch of a finger.

"It seems that Evan is right, you have a lot of background."

Rick said in a deep voice: "It seems that the attack you are proud of was invalidated because of some restriction just now?"

Cheng Rang's heart skipped a beat.

As expected of you, Rick, you can tell it at a glance, and you can analyze it so far based on the current situation.

"Looks like I'm right."

Even without Cheng Rang answering, Rick read the information from his body's reaction.

"Good for you."

"Leave that aside, that guy stopped."

Following the brief exchange between the two, the Ex-Machina girl did stop the words she had been repeating, and uttered another sentence instead.

"[Analysis completed] The computing power is insufficient, and it is estimated that the power will remain... 5%."

"What does she want to do?"

"Who knows..."

"[Reconstruction] generates...armed...counterattack...."

"I have a bad feeling, Cheng." Rick said, hiding behind Cheng Rang.

"...you don't need to tell me."

"Pseudo-code·secret cut one style."

The blue information stream generated a knife out of thin air in the girl's hand, and the pyroxene pointer on the spiritual needle plate in Cheng Rang's pocket even ignored the influence of the black and gray, and pointed directly at the Ex-Machina in front of him as if he had been forcefully broken. It is known how powerful the elf reaction of the Chancekai girl individual is.

Cheng Rang's expression changed, he protected Rick behind him, and drew his knife out of its sheath.

"Hide away!"

The black streamer came head-on with a suffocating sense of sharpness, and the blades collided with each other, shooting out a dazzling fire that dimmed the surrounding scenery in an instant.

clang!

The "Pseudo Code·Secret Slashing Style" by the girl in front of the Ex-Machina was stopped by Cheng, but the shock wave visible to the naked eye still made Rick's internal organs ache.

Although it was only 5% powerful, it seemed that it was only replicating such an attack, and white smoke rose from the joints of the Ex-Machina individuals as if they were burning violently.

clang....

The armor disintegrated, and the Ex-Machina girl who launched an attack to Cheng Rang then collapsed on the ground as if she had lost her strength.

Looking at the Ex-Machina whose eyes were fixed on him even if he fell to the ground, Cheng Rang raised his finger bitterly and scratched his cheek, and asked Rick behind him.

"Uh, do you think, can we have a friendly exchange like this?"

No process makes this actually surprising.

Individuals of the Ex-Machinas can actually copy all the moves from the system, and even have a little bit of power...

But even if you copy it, if you dare to call, who gave you the courage?

Oh, it's an Ex-Machina who doesn't know fear, so it's fine.

But wait...

System, can you explain what the damage record of [HP-1] is?

Chapter 15 Water-adulterated and re-adulterated

【Ding】

[The high damage that does not break through the player's defense will force a little damage to the player]

Really serious explanation ah hey!

Cheng Rang's mouth twitched: I mean why is she invincible if I hit her? She can cause harm to me. It was agreed that she would be forced to identify her.

What about friendly forces?

【...】

Don't be silent at this time, system!What are you doing, system!

"[Judgement] The current combat power of this machine is not enough to fight against it, and the premise is to continue to negotiate."

"Is the Ex-Machina a race that likes to say what's in its heart?" Cheng Rang said, looking at the Ex-Machina girl slowly getting up from the ground.

"[Correction] This machine has not analyzed 'heart', so there is no concept of 'heart words'"

Rick poked his head out from behind him: "As expected, she can't beat you."

"It's just a one-on-one fight, but if it is connected with other Ex-Machinas, the result may not be certain."

"[Negative] Even if..."

"To shut up."

Cheng Rang smiled kindly, and warned the Ex-Machina girl in front of him.

As if she believed that if she didn't obey Cheng Rang's order, she would be destroyed and unable to carry out the purpose of analyzing her heart, she obediently closed her mouth.

"Why were you disconnected?" Rick asked. Although he probably knew it in his heart, he still needed confirmation.

"..." The Ex-Machina girl kept silent with her lips tightly closed, her eyes fixed on Cheng Rang's face.

"Hey."

Rick patted him on the back indicatively.

"...you can answer Rick's question. By the way, this guy is Rick." Cheng Rang pointed to Rick who stuck his head out behind him.

Only then did she speak again: "[Answer] This machine—I want to analyze whether the Ex-Machina has a 'heart', 'self', and a 'soul'."

“[Result] Due to many contradictions caused by theoretical loopholes, this machine was disconnected and scrapped.”

Rick finally confirmed the reason for the Ex-Machina to take such a clueless action.

——The machine is broken.

That would be perfect.Although I still can't feel at ease, I am already slightly away from the worst possibility, and I also have a very powerful "insurance" around me.

"In other words, you..."
