898 Scheming (1/2)
(This is bonus chapter #3 for September for meeting Patreon goal. Enjoy!)
Obviously, the 5.7 seconds at the beginning of the battle was the most crucial part of the fight! If Sheyan couldn't do anything useful in these 5.7 seconds, then the only thing waiting for him against this monster who easily surpassed him in all attributes and had ten times his HP, was defeat.
Therefore, anyone who found themselves in such a situation, must do something in this 5.7 seconds to offset the huge gap between the two sides!
What would Sheyan do?
What could Sheyan do?
The first thing he did was to take out a pair of sunglasses from his personal space and put them on. While doing this, he activated his 'Endless Spirited Vodka' and added 25% to his movement speed.
The sunglasses appeared directly in Sheyan's palm because they were taken out of his personal space, while he only had to activate the 'Endless Spirited Vodka' with his thoughts. These two actions took only 0.5 seconds.
Next, Sheyan retrieved another thing from his personal space.
This is the thing Sheyan was counting on to turn defeat into victory. And probably also the reason why the nightmare realm deemed that the Men in Black world was even more suitable for Sheyan than the Pirates of the Caribbean world!
This thing was a standard equipment carried by all senior Man in Black agents, a godly item used to fool the masses and maintain social order!!
The neuralyzer nicknamed ”janitor”!!
Sheyan was flashed by one when he had just entered the world, so he could be sure that this tool was effective on contestants; at least, it was effective on himself! But the follow-up hypnotic effect was not.
After Sheyan obtained the neuralyzer, he found out that when a contestant was the one using it, there were a lot of restrictions. Firstly, he could only wipe, at most, 15 minutes of memory. Secondly, there was a long cooldown time of 60 minutes after each use.
But! But! Sheyan was sure that this was what he was looking for. This neuralyzer was totally the most crucial factor in determining whether he could pass this boundary breakthrough trial!
Sheyan pointed the neuralyzer at the clone in front of him. All the settings had already been properly set up. Sheyan gazed at the opponent through the sunglasses, and pressed the activation button coldly. The red light of the neuralyzer began to shine slowly, sending out a string of short and rushed beeping sounds, followed by a glaring red light which instantly covered the whole place!
This red light was an unknown energy that can isolate electrical pulses in deep levels—especially neuron pulses in the human brain. Only sunglasses could effectively filter it!
This light covered the eyes of the clone in an instant, deeply penetrating into his soul! !
For ordinary people, the last fifteen minutes was not a long time. It was maybe the time for half a meal, a cigarette, a dump, a daydream.
However, for a clone who had just been cloned for a few minutes, it was the duration of his whole life! ! !
This ray of light smashed and plundered the brain of the clone, wiping away the abundant amount of combat awareness, combat intelligence and combat experience instilled by the realm! ! !
After the memory-destroying storm was over, there was only one thought left in the mind of the clone - to kill Sheyan. Besides that, he was only a wild beast that fought on instinct!
All these sounded long, but all Sheyan did was raise the neuralyzer, pressed the button, and waited for the signal.
This whole process took 2.4 seconds. Sheyan still had 2.8 seconds left.
After the red flash, Sheyan immediately went to the back of the snowy mountain and jumped down. The garment on his back was carefully selected - it was the kind of thick windbreaker that could cover the entire body.
He tightened his windbreaker and used it like a sleigh to slide down the snowy slope! Sheyan had made the calculation beforehand. Even though the clone had twice his Agility, it was useless under such circumstances.
