Crow's Paradise

Chapter 8 The means are not the ends

However, there is no spiritual bridge, that is, there is no awakening. Why is there such a shadow-like trace of pollution covering his body?

Does the missing body directly kill people?

The white-clothed Yanren was silent for a moment.

The spiritual residue of human beings in the old era, after being highly condensed with a certain trait as the core, will form a body of thoughts.

These thoughts are like a phenomenon, and they basically only act based on their own characteristics.

Just like what we have dealt with before, the thought body codenamed "Sorrow" will only continue to act with the purpose of hunting the "sad" thoughts of old humans or "creating sadness".

Old humans who are polluted by it will target people or other things in the events related to "sorrow" that they have experienced.

Although these polluted old humans may show abnormal behavior in their actions, they will not leave any pollution on their bodies.

Pollution will only leave traces of pollution if the power of the missing body directly acts on it.

Beyond that, there are the Containers.

After the recipient is contaminated, because the spirit and body are integrated, if the recipient's spirit is contaminated, the body will gradually change.

but

Around Yancheng, the recipients should all turn into machine forms similar to them.

He looked at the huge wolf:

"Lang'an, are there any contaminated targets nearby?"

The huge wolf raised its wolf-like machine head, and its hard, crystalline gem-like eyes scanned the surroundings, looking for the traces of thought body contamination that the two of them had discovered before.

However, the crystal wolf eyes didn't seem to find anything.

"No."

The sound of the machine's opening and closing has a dull tearing sound. Apart from the slightly stiff mechanical tone, it sounds like a real beast roaring.

"Yeah?"

The vertically patterned eyes reflected the scattered light, and the white-clothed Yanren responded while taking a step to the right.

In the next moment, the two of them made moves almost at the same time.

The giant machine wolf jumped out suddenly, like a meteorite falling from top to bottom.

The man in white clothes looked like a white snake lying on the ground, leaving a white trail.

Two mechas, one man and one wolf, launched an attack at the same location.

Under the flanking attack between the two, there was no movement at the place where the waste was piled up.

boom! ! !

Along with the roar, blood splashed out, dyeing the bodies of the white-clothed Yanman and the giant machine wolf red.

Such a quiet situation seemed to be beyond the two people's expectations, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

The spirit and body of the recipients are integrated, and the attacks launched by their bodies can directly cause harm to things in spiritual form and the missing body.

Their spiritual power can also directly interfere with entities.

It's just that the specific interference performance of the recipients with different types of abilities is not consistent.

Their hard eyes looked at each other, and they seemed to see each other's doubts.

but

At this moment, a voice sounded:

"If you avoid it, you might die."

Following the sound, two black shadows pounced towards the white-clothed Yanman and the giant machine wolf respectively.

The giant machine wolf subconsciously made a dodge action.

Yanren in white also wanted to retreat, but the moment he had this idea, he felt a strong sense of tearing.

It seemed that if he continued this action, he would be seriously injured or even die.

even

One black and one white, a two-headed snake-like shadow seemed to flash before his eyes.

The last time he encountered this situation was when he first became an inmate.

However, this also made him realize something.

This is most likely the ability of that missing body.

As his thoughts flashed, he immediately warned his companions:

"Lang An! Don't hide!"

While shouting out the words, he used his ability, and a black snake shadow emerged from behind him, using offense instead of defense, biting the black shadow that rushed toward him.

However, although he thought quickly, by the time he spoke, it was already too late.

The moment the giant machine wolf subconsciously made a retreating action, the black, fuzzy shadow like some kind of bird suddenly accelerated and was about to hit the giant wolf's body.

On the side of Yanren in white, the snake shadow jumped out from him and bit the bird shadow into pieces almost instantly.

Yanren in white clothes can also feel through the contact of his ability that the black shadow rushing towards him is just a bait to interfere with his sight!

With countless experiences fighting against missing bodies or contaminated hosts, he seems to have understood what the other party wants to do.

If he and Lang An retreat together, they will be injured together, and the missing body hiding in the old human body can escape.

If one of him and Lang An retreats, then it is naturally safer for the other person to take a defensive posture when facing the missing body.

Then the other party can also take this opportunity to escape!

Direct attack!

Giving up on reinforcing Lang An, the vertical lines in his crystal pupils flashed, black on the left and white on the right, and two snake shadows swooped towards the location of the corpse at the same time.

However, at this moment, when he launched an attack on the corpse of the old human being, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that the shadow of the bird rushing towards Lang An suddenly grew larger at this moment.

A fuzzy black shadow that was half the size of Lang An and looked like a giant crow struck Lang An on the head.

He also saw that Lang An opened his huge mouth, and the sharp teeth of the machine parts were like several sharp knives intersecting and biting the giant crow. The sharp teeth seemed to be able to tear the giant crow-like bird into pieces immediately. Missing body.

However, the giant crow did not move at the moment when it was bitten and torn apart.

The giant crow seemed to have lost the ability to resist after being bitten, and its beak opened and closed slightly:

"If you attack even though you are seriously injured, you may be injured more seriously."

Zero distance.

Another shadow-like dark thing tore out of the giant black crow's body and pounced directly into the giant wolf's mouth.

Oops!

The white-clothed Yanren's eyes widened, realizing the danger.

The opponent did not plan to escape, but planned to attack at a distance where they could not immediately respond to defense!

If he hadn't known that this was a missing person, he would have even thought it was a contaminated recipient, a desperado-like recipient.

The violent fluctuations of emotions caused the two snake shadows that jumped out from his body to suddenly grow in size. The phantom snakes with mechanical joints suddenly returned according to his will and bit the giant crow.

When the black crow spoke, the giant wolf that bit the black crow's machine suddenly stopped, biting the black crow's wolf mouth, and then let go half of it as if it had lost its power.

The black crow, Yao Yan flapped his wings suddenly, and flew upward amidst the pain that spread throughout his body, and flew away without looking back.

He has no intention of risking his life, has no intention of fighting to the death without running away, and does not think he can escape by simply running without fighting.

His method is to create trouble for the pursuer who continues to pursue + escape, and to create the optimal result by increasing and decreasing.

Whether it is killing these two Yanren, severely injuring them before running away, or attacking them is necessary, it is not the purpose or even the means.

What he wants, his purpose, is to get out of the crisis.

Treat means as ends? Or use the end as a means?

He wouldn't make that mistake.

Creating the best opportunity for himself to escape from the crisis is his method.

He does not pursue injury-free, nor does he pursue the fastest. What he pursues is the most cost-effective result under the relative circumstances——

Under the circumstances that one can foresee.
