Chapter 18 Nest Demon (2)

The battle in the "quarantine layer" continues.

After suffering a loss, Carl gave up the tactic of revealing his whole body. He kept "scuing" into the alloy pillars and the ground, and each time he only poked out part of his body to carry out various angles to Uncle Xue in a very short moment.

Due to the all-round gap in speed, strength and energy, Uncle Xue was basically avoiding and escaping throughout the whole process. Even if he sprinkled "plasma ant thunder" to counterattack, it would not cause any fatal damage to Carl.

The gap between the strong and the evil is so cold...

Uncle Xue is undoubtedly a very powerful person, but this "power" mainly comes from his ability itself; in terms of talent for cultivation and development, he can only be considered ordinary.

Moreover, the reason why Uncle Xue was able to train such a powerful high-level ability to "retrogress back time" to a strong level is definitely not because of his high qualifications, but because... he used too much.

As the saying goes, "diligence can make up for shortcomings", this is feasible among those with abilities below the "strong level".

Theoretically, any capable person can reach a strong level as long as he is willing to work hard; but this sentence is like "any person with an IQ of no less than the average level can get into college as long as he works hard"... There is a battlefield called "objective factors" between theory and reality. Two generals, "laziness" and "diligence", fought day and night on this battlefield, and most of the time, General Diligent will return in a defeat.

However, Uncle Xue’s situation is different from that of ordinary people.

For him, the "objective factors" in front of him are basically all that if he wants to save people, he must reduce his lifespan and go back to the time; and if he goes back to the times, it will naturally become a kind of "diligent" practice.

Of course, you can also say: "He can't save people."

This is the issue of life choices...

Uncle Xue's life has gone through many hardships and tests, but he finally chose to become a "comparative" and selfless person. The word "comparative" is added because his approach obviously does not meet the normative requirements of those double-standard moral kidnappers.

Although Uncle Xue has long given up on the idea of ​​"save everyone", and although he will not easily give up his life for others, what he is now... is a path that most people will not take.

In fact, Uncle Xue could use his ability to live a life of luxury within the scope permitted by law and escape any danger that would cause him to die in a life of misfortune. However, he chose to avoid using his superpowers to seek personal gain as much as possible. He would rather wander on the streets and live a poor life, and do things that would not only not be grateful, but also lead to misunderstandings and even hostility, just because... that was what he thought was right.

People live in this world, that's it.

Some people think it is right to earn wealth and let themselves and their families live a better life; some people think it is right to increase their knowledge and use what they have learned to promote social progress and development; some people think that if you go there, you should spare no effort to satisfy yourself... There is nothing wrong with this.

Everyone has different standards. Even if most people’s standards overlap, it cannot be said that this is vulgar.

It is natural to choose to do what you think is right and pay the corresponding price; compromise, concession, and then slowly change your standards... This is vulgarity, weakness, and... us.

Uncle Xue, we have been walking on a path where we once had the opportunity to walk, but in the end, only a small number of people could stick to it.

The price he paid was far more than life, but also his entire life.

But as long as he can do what he thinks is right, he feels it is worth it. Even if he is ridiculed and contempted by the common people, he has no regrets.

"Your physical strength is almost the bottom, right?"

About seven minutes after the fight began, Carl spoke again.

During that time, he "shut up" as Uncle Xue asked for a long time, focusing only on the attack; and at this moment, because he felt Uncle Xue's fatigue, he started verbal negotiations again.

"Your ability is indeed very tricky. If you replace an ordinary fierce-level abilities, you may really be killed by you..." Karl continued to say, "But I... happen to be the type you can't kill." He paused, "If you can't kill me, you can't end the battle... And this kind of death fight that cannot escape or win will inevitably turn into the current war of attrition; no one can maintain concentration and physical fitness for a long time in the confrontation with me, and you and I know the ending very well. When you reveal your flaws, or the moment you are exhausted... it is your death."

His analysis made sense, but Uncle Xue had already known about this a long time ago.

Carl's ability is recorded in detail in the data of the Counter Cross: he can turn his body into a state similar to "multi-dimensional space projection", using metal-like materials as a medium, lurking and moving it, and integrating his sense of touch with media within a certain range.

The reason why he is called the "Nest Demon" is because a place like the Nine Prisons, which is basically made of alloy, is like a huge "nest" to him... Carl can move and show up at an extremely high speed, and as long as his body does not "100%" break away from the ground or wall, he cannot be completely killed... For example, just now, even if Uncle Xue was shot in the head with a gun, Carl was fine, because at that time, part of his soles were buried underground and did not come out. As long as this 1% of his body was still in the "media", his entire body could be reorganized.

To sum up... what is truly terrifying about Carl von Baylor is precisely the ability of the "war of attrition".

Among those who have come to this place in the past, there are also people who can avoid Carl's sneak attacks with their simple physical skills and reactions, but... these people were eventually buried here without exception.

It may not be difficult to avoid a sneak attack, but in the long battle, facing an opponent who is almost impossible to eliminate, the sudden attacks from all directions and eight methods are constantly used, the consumption of concentration and physical strength is very amazing, and almost no one can last ten minutes...

This isolation layer with a lined alloy column can be said to be Carl's perfect home court. He is like a spider entrenched here, swallowing every prey falling into it with an invisible web.

"Then, your next sentence should be..." Uncle Xue continued, "'I think your ability is quite special. If you are willing to surrender and cooperate with the Federation, I can help you talk to others and protect you from death' right?"
