Conan’s World Stand-in: Chapter 17 Your ability is... to control the stairs!
"boom!"
The gunshots filled with gunpowder smoke sounded again, and the blue-light metal projectiles brushed Guan Dounan's hair from behind him, hitting the slate behind him, splashing a piece of gravel and sand.
"Aren't you anxious to see that I didn't hit the plan?"
After dodging the bullet, Guan Dounan smiled slightly and said to the empty passage. Although Shi Kaobing left immediately after the attack just now, without giving himself time to counterattack, the spiral staircase is so loud that the sound of gunfire can resonate with a huge echo inside, and a slight increase in the volume is enough. Ring through the channel.
"…"
There was only an echo of what he had just said in the passage, but no one answered, whether it was Shi Kaobing or the possible Amuro Toru.
"Do you think I'm someone who likes to talk to myself?" Guan Dounan saw that no one responded, and he was not in a hurry, and continued to speak to the empty passage, "I just mentioned 'smell', you Immediately created an illusion for me with the smell. If I'm not mistaken, you put a bit of burnt gunpowder directly on my companion's only path, so that he naturally got gunpowder on him as he passed by. The smell of gunpowder?"
"...Yes, there are traces of burnt gunpowder on the soles of my shoes."
Amuro's voice suddenly sounded, it should have come from the front of the passage, that is, the direction of the person who passed by him just now. It seems that the person who ran past was Amurotou.
"You're there... well, I see."
Guan Dounan smiled slightly, and suddenly kicked a foot on the wall next to him. He supported the wall with his right hand, and used the reaction force to rotate his body while jumping to the wall on the other side of the passage, and, like a spider or a gecko, Clinging to the wall with both hands, the whole person hangs in the air and moves against the wall.
On the other side, at the entrance of the passage, Shi Kaobing suddenly lost his grasp of Guan Dounan's status quo.
"He found out? He's really smart, terribly smart..."
Shi Kaobing Pu Siqinglan's eyes became solemn. At first, he just thought that this guy was a ignorant and self-righteous little actor who lived by his face. Unexpectedly, under a single blow, an able person would explode, and the yellow-haired black-skinned boy who was acting with him was unbelievably calm. I really don't know where these two immortals jumped out.
"Although the gunpowder trap was made hastily, he was able to see through it in just a few seconds. Is it his problem or me... Well, it should be the problem of hasty making."
Shi Kaobing squatted down and used his fingertips to test a black mark on the ground. It was a piece of burnt gunpowder that she had deliberately placed there. As long as you come here from the end of the passage, you will inevitably step on it, leaving the smell of gunpowder on your body.
At first, I thought I could rely on this pungent smell to confuse the stand-in messenger who didn't know what kind of ability. As a result, he was cracked in one second, really...
However, this is just a trap that will be broken in a second. His real killer move is still behind.
The soldier snorted coldly, and filled the two ancient flintlock pistols with bullets and gunpowder.
"Your ability looks like teleportation and speed, but no matter which one it is, there is something that goes against the appearance."
Guan Dounan's voice sounded again in the passage, and at this time there was still a bit of joking in his voice.
"If it is teleportation, then you can directly appear in any position around me, front, back, left and right, or directly on the roof, instead of misleading my attention with clumsy traps like now, trying to make me guard against mistakes direction."
"Also, although you left quickly, you still moved, rather than disappearing instantly. It's a pity that my counterattack was a little slower, otherwise I would have hit you directly."
"As for whether it is the ability to move quickly, it's not like the general understanding, it's your own speed that becomes very fast. After all, if you really have that kind of ability, you can directly create yourself like a dump truck. People are gone."
"This shows that the ability you are using is some kind of more abstract and unexpected ability, such as..."
Shi Kaobing calmly listened to Guan Dounan's remarks, loaded the pistol, and held it up in front of him, the earring on his right ear flashed a red light.
Immediately afterwards, her whole person seemed to be fast-forwarded hundreds of times while riding the escalator. Her legs were still, but she moved down the stone stairs, and disappeared in place almost in an instant. .
"The ability to directly manipulate stairs."
She is not manipulating space or time, nor is she possessing the speed force or anything. Shi Kaobing can do all this because she is directly manipulating the stairs.
She can directly manipulate the entire stairway, changing herself from the step she is standing on to any step in the entire stairway, as can other people on the stairs. However, this process is not teleportation, nor acceleration, it is a more eccentric way of moving.
The movement is fast, but it does take time and leaves some specious "traces". But in the process of moving, she and the things on the stairs cannot influence each other, neither can they be blocked, nor can they take the initiative to touch, like two ghosts that cannot influence each other.
In addition, when she activates her ability, she can move two people stepping on the same ladder, or move one person stepping on different ladders, but she can only choose one of them at a time.
At the very beginning, she was looking for the opportunity for two people to step on the first level of the stairs, and directly moved the stairs where Guan Dounan and Amuroto were standing to the position in the middle of the whole staircase that everyone had already walked. . Immediately afterwards, he moved Toru Amuro alone in front of the stairs, separating him and Guan Dounan.
Then, she herself pulled out her pistol and used the stairs to come to Guan Dounan, ready to kill him. Unexpectedly, he escaped this fatal attack, and he almost got hit instead.
So she moved again and came to the front of the stairs. Since this is a spiral staircase, she only needs to advance three or four meters to completely avoid Guan Dounan's sight and attack.
However, Amuro Toru, who found that the problem was wrong at this time, also began to turn back ~www.mtlnovel.com~ took out a pocket pistol from his pocket, and took a tactical stance toward the back of the stairs.
Shi Kaobing was able to control the stairs and sense what was happening on the stairs, so he could naturally see Amuro Toru's actions. She was a little surprised by the tactical literacy shown by this blond young man. This standard tactical action, without the slightest sloppiness, looked like a ruthless character.
Even if it is an internationally wanted criminal with the ability to stand in, confronting such a person head-on, Shi Kaobing believes that the odds of winning will not be too great. In order to avoid a head-on conflict, Shi Kaobing plans to use Amuro Toru and set a trap here.
She activated her ability again, went directly behind Guan Dounan and fired, giving him the message that he was behind. After one hit, she did not stop, and directly activated her ability again to go to the entrance of the stairs, and set up a gunpowder trap on the ground.
Said to be an agency, in fact, it just put a little burning gunpowder, and Amuro Toru, who was not aware of it, would not have any doubts about it.
Next, she moved a few steps forward by herself, using the characteristics of the spiral staircase, a few steps were enough to make the person standing at the entrance of the staircase undetectable to her. At this time, she activated her ability again, moved Amuro Toru here, made him appear on the stairs covered with organs, stepped on the gunpowder on the ground, and turned her head to send it back.
In this way, his body was stained with the smell of gunpowder. Since he moved fast enough, Guan Dounan could only feel the faint "traces", but he couldn't see his face clearly. Naturally, he will be regarded as a Shi Kao soldier who has just fired a shot and smells of gunpowder smoke, and will move forward to defend.
Unfortunately, what Shi Kaobing didn't know was that Guan Dounan had an almost omniscient "Little Black ACT1". He knew who was coming, who was in front and who was behind. This series of intrigue between the electric and flint was completely changed. became useless.
