old fire thieves

Chapter 23 No.20 Act Three. The Battle of the Ascended

"Comrade policeman, why..."

He Ling, a teller at the jewelry counter, saw the door of the office being pushed open, and subconsciously stood up.

But when he saw the other party's appearance, he hesitated slightly.

girl?

Walking in was a girl wearing a white shirt and a black suspender skirt, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a particularly conspicuous white hair in her black hair.

Who is this?

He Ling was taken aback.

Have I been found out?

she thought to herself.

No, not possible!

The policemen have already gone to catch the bait, and my plan is perfect!

Thinking of this, He Ling suppressed the wavering in her heart and asked pretending to be confused.

"who are you looking for?"

"Hey, I'm from the Abyssal Relic Affairs Department..."

Before Ai Lian finished speaking, He Ling's face changed and she raised her hand.

Bai Ge, who was hiding outside the door, was a little dumbfounded when he witnessed this process.

How can there be such a self-reported family and walk up directly, is this woman always so straightforward?

With a movement of the fingers of He Ling's raised left hand, she used the extraordinary skills she had mastered.

【Hypnosis】!

This technique can make the person who sees He Ling's fingers fall into a state of loss of consciousness. In this state, He Ling can instill a certain amount of thought in the other party and make him follow his own orders.

Relying on this ability, she controlled the man who was randomly looking for on the street, let him come to the jewelry counter last night, took away the imitation samples that He Ling had prepared a long time ago, and discarded them after leaving the mall as He Ling was controlled as a puppet of the theft plan.

I saw that Ai Lian's movements had stagnated, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into a state of confusion.

In the state of hypnosis, people's reactions will become extremely sluggish. Even if the hypnosis is lifted, there will be a period of recovery, which is a very difficult ability to control.

"How could this person..."

He Ling was nervous and apprehensive. Of course she knew what the Department of Abyssal Relics Affairs did. She just didn't expect that Jingjiang also had people from this unit, and she saw through all her cover-ups so quickly and came to the door directly.

Are the guys in the Abyssal Relics Affairs Department all monsters?

While He Ling was feeling emotional, she was thinking about what to do with the girl in front of her to clear her suspicions...

She suddenly realized that she couldn't move anymore.

No, not just mobile.

He Ling's whole body seemed to be tightly pressed by something, unable to move.

"..."

what happened?

He Ling found that she couldn't even speak.

A strong sense of crisis climbed into her heart, as if she was being targeted by some ferocious beast.

It wasn't until this time that He Ling noticed that there was still a person standing behind Ai Lian.

Tian Hong, a woman with short hair, has clear yellow eyes and is staring at He Ling. There is no other emotion in her eyes, only pure concentration.

In He Ling's perception, Tian Hong was no longer a human being, but an extremely ferocious beast, staring at him covetously.

Seeing this scene, Bai Ge suddenly had a noun in his heart.

【Intimidation】.

In the game "Ark: Ascension Designation", this is an ability that most of the ascenders of the beast prototype will master after they are promoted to the second level.

In the game, if [Intimidation] is successful, it can make the target enemy unable to act for a period of time. It is a very practical control skill in the early stage.

However, as the enemies become stronger and more resistant to abnormal states in the later stage, [Intimidation] is often a tasteless skill.

Even some characters who specialize in [Intimidation] are also nicknamed "stare blankly".

Of course, in reality, [Intimidation] would definitely not be so numerical, but it seemed that after being glared at by Tian Hong, the teller was indeed unable to act.

Is this the end?

Bai Ge originally thought that there would be some dazzling superpower chaos, or an intense life-and-death battle like that night in the abandoned factory building.

Now, it seems a little...boring?

Just as Tian Hong was staring at He Ling and approaching, Bai Ge suddenly noticed that He Ling's fingers moved.

"careful!"

He couldn't help but reminded aloud.

The next moment, He Ling, who was supposed to be immobile, suddenly rushed towards Tian Hong.

"!"

Tian Hong only had a momentary delay before reacting quickly.

It was creepy to see He Ling's eyes dimmed, as if nothing could be reflected.

She used [Hypnosis] on herself!

[Intimidation] In the final analysis, it is an extraordinary ability realized through the instinctive reaction of creatures in the face of danger. If it is an unconscious person, or a person who has broken through the biological instinct and is completely manipulated, it will naturally lose its effect.

It was He Ling who quickly hypnotized herself and made her body move quickly in order to break through Tian Hong's restraint.

Tian Hong tried to block He Ling's escape route, but in an instant, He Ling bypassed Tian Hong inexplicably, and when the other party noticed it, He Ling had already come behind Tian Hong.

One of the abilities of [Jester], [Disruption]!

At this moment, in the real world, He Ling chose the left escape route, but in Tian Hong's consciousness, He Ling rushed from the right, so Tian Hong missed He Ling perfectly.

Now standing in front of He Ling, there is only Bai Ge left.

"It's unreliable at all!"

Bai Ge didn't have time to complain, he stood at the door, ready to stop He Ling.

Speaking of which, does [Jester] have any harmful abilities?

Bai Ge suddenly had this idea.

But He Ling had already raised her finger while running.

She wants to hypnotize Baige.

Bai Ge felt dizzy and dizzy for a while, and a strong sense of drowsiness came to his heart, as if he could sleep soundly at any time.

But a certain will suddenly woke him up, causing his half-closed eyes to suddenly open.

"!!?"

It seemed that He Ling's ability failed for the first time, and she froze for a while.

Snapped--

Then he was hit in the head by a bullet.

"?"

Bai Ge watched as He Ling rolled her eyes and fell into a faint, before turning her gaze to the person behind her.

Naturally, it wasn't Tian Hong who shot.

Ai Lian was holding a small black pistol in his hand, and was aiming at He Ling who was lying on the ground in a standard shooting posture.

Of course, what she just used was a rubber bullet, and she could see the rubber bullet bouncing off He Ling's body and falling to the ground.

"Wait a minute, rubber bullets can kill people at this distance, right?"

Bai Ge couldn't help but complain.

"It's okay, the physical quality of the ascender is not as fragile as you think, and I use compressed air to fire, which is not only safer, but also reduces the sound when shooting. After your trial period is over, I can also Get you a self-defense."

Ai Lian sold it with a smile, and gave He Ling two more shots at the same time.

pop-

The teller who fell to the ground twitched twice, and did not move again.

Should be... still alive.

This woman is really scary, saying such things with a smile on her face.

But she said that she could get one for me, as if she was looking forward to it.

Bai Ge looked at Ai Lian's black muzzle, and didn't dare to say any more, but thought of another question.

"Wait... When did you get back to normal?"

"Back to normal?"

Ai Lian skillfully took out the nylon cable ties and tied He Ling's hands behind his back, asking back.

"When did you have the illusion that I was hypnotized?"

"Ah, this..."

She is an alchemy doll.

Bai Ge was speechless for a moment.

No matter how much an alchemy doll resembles a human being, it is still not a human being, not a creature.

The ability of [Hypnosis] is completely ineffective for her.

Thinking of this, Bai Ge suddenly understood.

Ai Lian was not hypnotized at the beginning, her performance was just to paralyze the teller.

If He Ling was controlled by Tian Hong in this way, it would be gratifying and congratulations that the matter would be resolved.

And if, like just now, He Ling used special skills to break free from Tian Hong's [intimidation], then Ai Lian could launch a sneak attack on He Ling at this time. At this time, He Ling thought that Ai Lian was still in the chaotic state after the hypnosis was lifted In the world, there is almost no defense, and it is true.

Did you really come to make soy sauce?

Bai Ge secretly sighed, seeing Ai Lian roll up He Ling's eyelids and check her irises.

"... Strange, this guy, isn't he an ascender?"
