What they had to face next was a corridor full of guards.
There were simply too many of them. Even if the guards did not move, sticking close to the wall and sucking in their stomachs to let them pass, it was impossible for Lin Sanjiu and her team to pass without touching any of the guards. Even Hei Zeji couldn't do it. It wasn't a matter of brute force, it was a matter of physics.
"If they really don't move," Hei Zeji replied after Lin Sanjiu finished whispering, "You're right. We can't go through, but it's impossible for them to not move. But it's impossible for them not to move … This is a good thing. "
"How is this a good thing?"
"Besides," Hei Zeji started to get impatient even though no one objected to him, "Is the point whether they move or not?"
"Then what is the point?"
Now was not a good time to talk. Even though Lin Sanjiu had a stomach full of questions, she did not pursue the matter. She took two steps forward and turned a corner according to the NPC's instructions. The three of them were like a dumpling wrapper, trapping the red-faced man and Wei Xing in the middle. Both of them were under the watchful eyes of Lin Sanjiu. There were a few times when the red-faced man wanted to say something, but he hesitated. It was as if he was debating whether he should come or not, but he still followed them all the way.
When they were a few meters away from their target corridor, all of them stopped.
"If you want to leave," Lin Sanjiu said angrily to the man whose face was mottled with red paint, "This is your last chance … The corridor ahead is filled with guards."
"I … I will stay," the red-faced man licked his deeply wrinkled lips, "I have nowhere to go even if I leave. But let me be frank, there are so many guards around, so I won't help you. Besides, I don't think you need my help. "
"I don't care if you say the ugly words, but I'm afraid of the pretty words." Lin Sanjiu nodded, "If you want to stay, then stay here obediently. I don't need to say anything else, right?"
The red-faced man looked at Hei Zeji and silently agreed. He took a few steps back and stood at the other end of the corridor. If they failed in their mission, he could at least turn around and escape.
"Then, we will depend on you for the next part," Lin Sanjiu whispered to Hei Zeji, "Have you recovered your strength? Have you thought about what to do? "
"More or less." Hei Zeji, who had always had a sour expression on his face, now looked like snow under the sun. A glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes. "This is the first time I've thought of fighting like this. You come over and watch too. "
Would it be all right to leave Bohemia alone to guard the guard?
When Lin Sanjiu turned to look at Bohemia, the latter quickly waved her hand, "I think it's better for me and Fatty to stay here. Don't worry. If you're caught, I'll run away with that red-faced fellow. "
… Each was more honest than the last.
Hei Zeji seemed to have run out of patience. He turned around and walked out. He didn't even bother to cover his footsteps. His attitude was so natural as if the entire hospital belonged to him. Lin Sanjiu quickly caught up to him and crouched down behind a corner. She watched as he casually walked into the corridor filled with guards. She stopped and smiled at the guards who were blocked by the wall behind the corner, "Not bad. You are all here."
The guards in the corridor must have never seen such a bold intruder. They were all stunned and didn't make a sound for a few seconds. [Is he trying to use me to distract the guards and create an opportunity for me?] [But that doesn't make sense.]
"Catch him!" Someone shouted from the back of the corridor. Only then did the guards snap out of their daze and charged toward Hei Zeji. They were so close that they could hit Hei Zeji with just a swing of their arms. Not to mention, there were at least four to five hands reaching for Hei Zeji at the same time. Lin Sanjiu's heart clenched. She held her breath and waited for Hei Zeji's next reaction.
To her surprise, Hei Zeji didn't do anything.
He just stood among the guards casually and naturally. All he did was stick his hands into his pockets. His muscular body was as smooth as a wild leopard's. Lin Sanjiu couldn't see any signs of tension on his body. He just moved his feet slightly and leaned his body slightly to the right. Naturally, the guard who was closest to him grabbed his shoulder. Lin Sanjiu felt as if the hand was grabbing her as well. She couldn't help shrinking back. In the next second, Hei Zeji fell to the ground without a doubt.
[What is he trying to do?]
The question flashed across Lin Sanjiu's mind, but it was quickly drowned out by surprise. She didn't know if it was a coincidence. However, when Hei Zeji fell, the other guards' hands arrived at the same time. Due to the small space and the large number of people, one of the guards hit the other guard. The last guard didn't manage to react in time. Even though Hei Zeji had lost all his strength, he still couldn't react in time and continued to hit the side of Hei Zeji's neck.
The attack was supposed to hit Hei Zeji's neck, but as Hei Zeji's body was falling, the attack landed on the back of his left arm. From a seemingly impossible angle, Hei Zeji's arm was sent flying into the air. From Lin Sanjiu's perspective, Hei Zeji's arm seemed to have a mind of its own. It drew an arc in the air and landed on the first guard's face with a loud smack. The guard couldn't help but let go of Hei Zeji's shoulder.
The series of events happened so fast that no one could react to it. It was only then that the guard not far behind Hei Zeji finished his sentence, "Good, we got him!"
In less than a blink of an eye, Hei Zeji's body broke contact with the guards' hands and regained his strength. Not only did he not leap up, but he also took the opportunity to sink and twist his body. He slid through the gap between the two guards. The gap between them was no larger than a fingernail. If Lin Sanjiu didn't keep her eyes on him, she would have thought that he had fallen from the gap.
"Be careful!" The first guard covered his face and shouted angrily at his comrade. He didn't realize that Hei Zeji had slipped into the corridor like a slippery fish. When he turned around and was about to grab Hei Zeji's back, Hei Zeji threw a punch at the guards in front of him as if he had eyes on the back of his head.
Before Hei Zeji's fist touched them, Hei Zeji's strength was terrifying. Amidst the sharp sound of air being torn apart, Hei Zeji's fist landed on the guard in front of him. The guard immediately lost his grip and fell limply to the ground. However, the force of the wind seemed to be able to engulf everything. The guard was sent flying and knocked down a few people behind him.
Due to the instant contact with the guard, Hei Zeji's body sank another inch. He was also an inch further away from the guard's fingertips. With incredible agility, he rolled on the ground and stood up a few steps away. He was now only a few meters away from the door of the pocket dimension's engine.
"It's interesting, isn't it?" Hei Zeji said without turning his head. All around him, there were many guards who were still confused about what was going on. They got up, turned around, pounced on him, and tried to grab him. Hei Zeji stood straight in the middle of the raging, dried up shadows. He looked like a rock standing tall in the middle of the waves. He looked like he could crush them all with one stomp. "By understanding your own body, controlling your position, and estimating the strength and angle of the attack … you can use the fact that they have made you lose your strength to knock them down one by one."
Instead of saying that Hei Zeji was explaining his train of thought, it would be more accurate to say that he was a kid who had discovered a new game and was excitedly showing it to his customers. "They aren't fast enough —"
Before he could finish his sentence, Hei Zeji collided with the guard again. Just like before, he regained his strength after a few breaths. He continued, "Otherwise, the challenge will be bigger and more interesting."
After a series of brief contact, a strange scene appeared in the corridor. Even Bohemia and the others who stayed behind couldn't help but follow Hei Zeji and look out. The guards were supposed to be the ones who could make people lose their strength, but at first glance, they seemed to have been knocked down by Hei Zeji's invisible force. Cries of surprise could be heard as they collided with each other. If Hei Zeji only allowed a guard to touch him for half a second, the guard would never let go of him after a second.
"Look, we are here, aren't we?" Hei Zeji placed his hand on the doorknob. There was a slight panting in his voice. Rather than saying it was because of the rare battle, it was more like he was excited to test out a new fighting style.
Yes, he had indeed arrived at the door of the pocket dimension's engine in a flash.
However …
Lin Sanjiu clawed her nails into the wall as she suppressed the urge to scream out loud.
"Hei Zeji can go in, but what about the rest of us?"
