Chapter 9 Heavenly Boss
"Do you like special films?"
Looking at the scene of teleporting back from the drone, Ross suddenly asked Brother Kuang a question.
Brother Kuang also understood what he meant: "If you are really interested, I do have a lot of resources to lend, but I think it is not the time to talk about these things..."
"What?" Ross heard a hint of worry from Brother Shou's tone, "Do you think this monster can't even deal with the 'hero'?"
"Why do I think it's okay?" Brother Ku responded in a deep voice, "Anyway, it will be clear in a few dozen seconds."
This answer means nothing was said, but Ross had already heard that Brother Ku was a little relieved.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
According to the previous performance of "hero", the knee hit me just now, and the enemy should be disabled even if he doesn't die.
However, at this moment, the actual situation on the battlefield is...
Qiongqi, who was suddenly attacked, flipped in half a circle in the air, then stabilized his body with his wings, rushed back and launched a counterattack.
In this battle, the "hero" had only two advantages: first, the damage caused by a sudden attack and the advantage brought by the lead; second, the limbs and joints of humanoid creatures, which are more flexible than Qiongqi.
These two points have been consumed by him just now, and he has not taken too much advantage, while the latter... depends on how he plays in actual combat.
On the other hand, Qiongqi has a considerable advantage.
First of all, the biggest disadvantage of fighting between beasts and humans is usually intelligence; but Qiongqi in the transformed state is undoubtedly intellectual, even smarter than most humans, and the "hero" who can only exist for one minute is not the kind of humans who "can use tools to deal with wild beasts (such as digging traps and using firearms)"... Therefore, this disadvantage does not exist.
Secondly, when the weight is similar, due to the differences in many physiological factors such as bone structure, muscle strength, and vascular tension, wild animals' close combat ability is often many times higher than that of humans.
This is also a natural law, because the human body evolved to this day, mainly to better use tools, while the bodies of wild beasts and predators were always born to prey.
A developed brain and flexible fingers allow humans to easily make and operate tools. Tools can help humans overcome species stronger than them, greatly reduce the risk of hunting and improve their efficiency, and allow humans to stand at the top of the food chain; they can also help humans enslave other species, produce crops more efficiently, reduce labor efforts, create environments suitable for their lives, and produce tools that produce more types and functions...
The predators only have sharp teeth and claws, brutal bite force, and incredible momentary explosive power... These things are all for the convenience of serving the same thing. They catch their lively supper, quickly subdue the latter and swallow it alive.
By the way, no matter which version of the legend is in, creatures like "Qiuanqi" have one thing in common that they like to eat people.
If you believe in evolution, you should be able to infer something from this point of view.
To sum up, even though the "hero" is a combat entity that can crush the fierce-level abilities from the physical level, when he meets Qiongqi, who also has this strength, he is almost the same as an ordinary person who meets a tiger.
Of course, there are still differences. Ordinary people do not have hard skin and self-healing ability like "heroes", and ordinary tigers are not as capable as Qiongqi and can fly.
Let's see, on the battlefield...
Qiongqi spread its wings, and the mad mist rose. It swooped and pounced in the air, raised its claw and slapped at the shoulders and neck of the "hero".
Seeing this, the "hero" took a step back with his left foot, moved his sideways, and swung his right fist to hit Qiongqi's ribs again.
But Qiongqi's flexibility in the air was obviously above the other party's expectations. Even at this rapid rush, it could adjust its posture at any time, or even change its speed and trajectory... Therefore, the "hero"'s response was futile in Qiongqi's eyes. It twisted its body and swung its side and freed up seven or eight meters to the side, flashing beyond the "hero's"'s fist path, changed its angle, put away its sharp claws, sang its song, and bit the "hero's"'s left arm.
The steel-like skin of the "hero" was no different from that of ordinary human skin in front of Qiongqi's fangs. The interlaced teeth tore open his flesh and deeply embedded it into the bones; under heavy pressure, the arm bones were broken, the flesh was like frost and blood fell like rain.
Fortunately... the "hero" will not feel pain or fear because he is the ideal "guardian saint" of Brother Kuang. In any case, the "hero" will not retreat. He will fight to the end until the enemy or himself is eliminated.

The next second, the "Hero"'s right hand turned into a finger and broke through the wind and took Qiongqi's left eye.
This move made Qiongqi go in a dilemma... It did not have enough time to completely bite off the "hero"'s left arm, nor did it have enough time to pull out the teeth embedded in the opponent's arm. In other words... the arm of the "hero" became a bait that stuck Qiongqi's teeth, restricting its entire head.
This is what I mentioned earlier... One of the "advantages of human-shaped creatures". The flexible arm joints and five fingers allow humans to have more choices for attack postures, angles, techniques, etc. in fighting, especially in this "counterattack", animals are often completely suppressed after a part of their body is bitten, but humans do not.
After a breath, this eye-popping blow hit the eye accurately and smashed Qiongqi's left eyeballs.
Under the stimulation of pain, Qiongqi also burst out with a vicious force, biting the "hero"'s left arm off.
This round of offense and defense ended with one side losing his eyes and the other side losing his arms...
Such injuries that are sufficient to cause permanent disability are certainly very serious for ordinary people, but for Qiongqi and "Hero", this is just a temporary injury; Qiongqi's eyes can grow out as long as they take a little time, and the "Hero"'s arms will heal when he is summoned next time.
Of course, in the eyes of those few bystanders, the scene just now was definitely considered a fierce battle.
In people's general impression, huge creatures move very slowly, but the two movements in front of them are so fast that they can't keep up with them; just this rush, flash, bite, poke, and break... It all happened in just three seconds.
The wind pressure brought out by the two during the fight was like a strong typhoon that was stirring up locally, causing the surrounding ground, buildings, trees, vehicles... to pieces. They clearly did not deliberately destroy the environment, but they had already made a mess within a radius of 100 meters.
At this moment, the FCP armed forces agents who were still a little far away from them had already begun to retreat to the rear with great sensibility. After all, no one wanted to become a "pool fish" themselves, and they would die unknown.
…………
At the same time, one kilometer away from the scene of the incident, on the rooftop of a building.
"Is it still not possible..." Uncle Xue looked at the battle in the distance and said to himself, "Look at this situation... If you continue to fight, that giant will lose." He sighed, "Oh... Then next time I can only try to let Rose call the stronger masters who are far away in other counties, or... I might as well change the layout?"
"I think you'd better save money." Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him and answered his words.
This incident surprised Uncle Xue very much because he stood in this position during the several "fights" retracements before, but no one had ever discovered him on those timelines, and no one had approached him quietly so quietly.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Xue turned around cautiously and turned around.
As a result, he saw a face that could be said to be a "long-lost".
He was a decadent man, looking 20 or 30 years old, with messy hair; he was wearing a black casual suit with a black shirt inside, with an open collar and no tie, and in general... he looked unkempt.
"It's you?" Uncle Xue's eyes immediately became solemn, and his body instinctively tense, as if he saw something terrifying that could swallow him at any time.
A few years ago (here refers to real time. If you include Uncle Xue’s subjective experience, he has spent more than ten years), when Uncle Xue first met this man, he also had the same reaction, just like... There is something deep in his soul reminding him to stay away from this person.
"Isn't it me?" The man in black said, as he walked to the guardrail. He leaned his waist there and continued lazily, "I told you the 'price' of your ability to make you use less. Now it seems... you kid seems to take my reminder as a wind in your ears?"
Uncle Xue looked at him for a few seconds and replied: "I didn't question whether your words were true or not, but... even though I knew that backtracking time would consume my life, there were some things... I still had to do."
"Ha!" The man in black laughed, "Hahahahahaha..."
He laughed loudly, laughed wildly, and laughed wildly.
"Why are you laughing?" Uncle Xue asked after waiting for a while.
The other party curled his smile and replied, "Ha... there is only one person in this world who can say 'I have to do some things', but that person is not you..." He paused, "You, and most of the people in this world, all the things you have done... in your opinion, what you have to accomplish at all costs is actually meaningless.
"You do it or not, things happen or not, and today one person or ten thousand people die in this city... will not have any impact on the world.
"Nothing you do is important (nothing_you_do_matte), your existence is a lie (your_existene_is_a_lie).
"Even if you have successfully reduced the casualties of hundreds or thousands today, are you really doing good things?
"Who is this 'good' for those who survived? To the federal government? To the human population? To the planet? Or to the universe?
"After all,...the people who are subjectively able to find the so-called "meaning" in this matter...there are, and only you.
"Even those who have been saved by you won't notice anything, because they don't know that they will die without your interference, and even if they know what you do one day... they won't understand where this difference between life and death is intended.
"It is you 'want to save people', so 'someone was saved', and 'someone was saved', the result of this makes you... an individual in this sin-filled race... feel the impact of causal changes on the 'sin' you bear, and shallowly interpret it as a 'meaning'."
He finished saying this in one breath, and Uncle Xue listened to it, but unfortunately... he didn't understand very much.
"Uh..." After thinking for a few seconds, Uncle Xue pondered, "Then what you mean is...I don't go back to the time and let the monster destroy it?"
The man shrugged, and it seemed that Uncle Xue's reaction was not beyond his expectations, because he had not expected Uncle Xue to understand his original intention from the beginning: "Don't worry, the monster will leave immediately."
Just as he said this, Qiongqi in the distance actually shook his wings, soared into the air, and flew away from the battlefield...
Seeing this scene, Uncle Xue was speechless.
"You are quite capable, but you have no idea what you are doing." After a moment, the man in black spoke again, took out a black card from his suit pocket and handed it to Uncle Xue.
Uncle Xue hesitated for a moment and took the card.
This card is about the same size as a business card, and it has very exquisite workmanship. It has a white reverse cross printed on the front and only a number "7" on the back.
"This is..." Uncle Xue looked at the other party in confusion and asked tentatively.
"This is a day care ticket where you can play with some little kids who are similar to you." The man's tone sounded like a joke, but it didn't seem to be lying.
After saying this, he left the railing and stretched, as if he was about to leave.
"This time you don't plan to tell me who you are?" Uncle Xue asked again at the other party's back as he walked away.
"Well..." The man thought about it and replied casually, "Just call me... 'Boss of God'." He turned around and glanced at Uncle Xue again, "Please hold that card, we will meet again soon."
Uncle Xue can understand the title of "boss", because when he first met "Boss God" a few years ago, he was in a bookstore.
At that time, Uncle Xue's supernatural power had just awakened, and the time it took was still very short to go back, and he didn't know much about many supernatural powers.
So, he tried to search for relevant information online, but found that there was too much useless interference information, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false. Later, he went to the federal public library, but found that searching for keywords such as "superpower" could only find books of type, but could not find any investigation and research (due to government control, it was impossible for such books to be published through formal channels).
It was during that time, one evening, Uncle Xue was walking on a small street that he didn't often go to and accidentally saw a bookstore... He flashed his mind like a strange thing, and thought that he might find some useful "false books" in such a small shop that even collects old books, and then went in.
As a result, he met this "Boss God".
On that day, after being instilled with a lot of information by the boss Tian, Uncle Xue returned to his residence and thought about it all night. The next day, when he came to the street again, he found that the bookstore was missing...
Uncle Xue went to find the surrounding merchants and residents, and even went to the city management department to ask about the address, but he couldn't find any clues.
This experience, like "urban legend", became a knot in the heart of Uncle Xue. His final conclusion was, "There is a 30% chance that I got drunk or ate something unclean and had hallucinations, and there is a 70% chance that I met a very capable person."
To this day, on Friday of Uncle Xue’s nth thirteenth, he finally met "Boss God" again.
Although he had many questions to ask the other party, he could feel... even if he used time to trace back, he could not put even one word out of the other party's mouth.
Therefore, Uncle Xue did not try to keep Boss Tian, but just watched the other party leave silently, and... As Boss Tian said, he did not go back to the time.
The cycle of this day ends here.
But a new mystery has sprouted in Uncle Xue's heart.
In the afternoon sun, he looked down at the black card in his hand, looking forward to... this would be the key to all the answers and ends.
Chapter completed!
