Vol 3 Chapter 22: Edward's "True" Story

The ceremony can be interrupted.

Whether it is the mysterious knowledge that Jason has learned or the mysterious knowledge he has been exposed to, this can be made clear.

But how should it be interrupted?

The interruption of the ritual is not a brazen act, but a corresponding method.

Therefore, when Jason confirmed that the behavior of "Edward" was to complete the "ritual", he had been thinking.

After all, with the right interruption, the 'ritual' can immediately defy the host and perform the ritual.

But what if it is wrong?

Those who interrupt the ceremony will bear an unimaginable price.

Even some costs will be irreversible.

Therefore, Jason is very careful.

Even if he knew that the explanation of "Edward" was part of the "ceremony", he did not try to interrupt it.

Because this kind of 'interruption' is too simple and too direct.

Will the cautiousness and cunning shown by "Edward" reveal such obvious flaws?

The answer is no.

In a way that interrupts the other party ’s words, ‘interrupting the ritual’ should be a trap!

Or to be more precise, Jason believes that the other party's so-called explanation is also part of the "ceremony", which is basically deceiving, in order to let the people entering the "ritual" blindly interrupt.

This is normal.

Both sides are enemies.

Believe what the enemy said?

It would be better to believe that the enemy is in good faith.

Of course, there is one more important point!

Jason had absolute certainty and reversed everything at the last minute.

because--

He, Jason, don't die!

Regardless of the final result of the ‘ceremony’ in front of him, he who is ‘replaced’ must be dead.

As long as he does n’t die, the ritual will naturally be interrupted.

As for whether ‘Edward’ wants to kill him?

In this regard, Jason is very certain.

Since his appearance, "Edward" has always smiled, but the malicious and killing intentions in his eyes cannot be concealed.

That is an endless gesture.

In fact, it is the same.

In order to continue the ceremony, "Edward" shot decisively.

Although this was a bit different from his original expectations, it did not stop the ritual. It just took some effort and some costs. ‘Edward’ thought he could bear such losses.

then--

Click!

With the crisp crack of bones, the face of "Edward" with a smile on his face ready to win was directly stiff, and the whole person fell to the ground.

The short-handed broad-blade machete held in his hand appeared straight in Jason's hand.

The moment Jason held the knife handle, the subconscious danced twice.

Woo, woo.

The blade ripped through the air and let out a low growl.

It seemed to be the wailing of the wronged soul.

It resembles a monster's roar.

Very handy.

As before.

However, Jason could feel that the short-handed broad-blade machete in his hand became sharper and stronger.

Undoubtedly, this is a credit to "Edward".

At the next moment, the ice hockey mask worn on ‘Edward ’s face also appeared in the hands of Jason.

The feeling of coldness and coziness is in my heart.

Let Jason feel comfortable for a long time.

Involuntarily, Jason reproduced wearing his own ice hockey mask.

As before, it is no different.

But just the moment Jason put on the mask, a pressure from the fear in the heart of the creature began to emanate from the mask.

Jason clearly felt the power from the mask.

"Not bad."

He commented like this.

This is naturally also a credit to ‘Edward’.

However, the "Edward" credit is not alone.

[Transformation of rituals, freehand fighting to master level! 】

[Freehand Fighting (Master): The body itself is a powerful weapon, and you are a master among them. You not only rely on fists and feet to fight, but your whole body will be a deadly weapon; Effect: Constitution, Strength, Agility +0.3 (Master, Expert, master +0.1)】

[Freehand fighting is upgraded to the mastery level, and the inherent talent option is obtained: well-trained]

[Freehand fighting is promoted to the master level, and the inherent talent option is obtained: dangerous sense]

[Trained (passive): A lot of combat training, so you have this talent, when encountering unexpected combat, long-term training can allow you to adapt to emergencies faster]

[Dangerous sense: long-term training and continuous fighting, let you sharpen your perception of danger to an extreme, effect: perception +0.5]

...

The next moment, a text prompt appeared in front of Jason.

Skill [Unarmed Fighting] was directly upgraded from the expert level to the master level, and physique, strength, and agility were +0.1 again.

But what surprised Jason the most is that the master level also has fixed talent options.

The new "dangerous sense" makes his perception directly increase by 0.5.

At this moment Jason's attributes are changed to: Strength 3.8, Dexterity 3.6, Constitution 4.5, Spirit 2.6, Wisdom 6.2.

Crunch, crunch!

Feeling the tone of knowledge and body in mind, Jason squeezed his fist and felt the change at the moment.

The changes in the body are not large, but the changes in perception are extremely obvious.

The latter affects the former.

The powerful perception allows Jason to better control his own changes.

At the same time, they can also grasp the surroundings.

At least, now Jason can judge that “Edward”, whose “neck” was twisted in front of him, is not dead.

Even if the other person has no breathing and heartbeat.

But the blood flow still exists.

In a different way from ordinary people.

"Is the power of the" Reincarnation Ceremony "?"

Jason guessed.

Then, cut it directly.

He can confirm that the ‘transition ritual’ has been interrupted and ‘Edward’ has been swallowed.

Just now he just broke ‘Edward’ ’s neck without breaking the opponent ’s strong and powerful heart.

The heart burst directly under the ritual.

Woo!

The short-handed broad-blade machete flew across Edward's neck with a roar.

puff!

‘Edward’ ’s head flew straight away.

However, there was no spurting of blood.

After the headless "Edward" rolled quickly for several laps, he stood up.

Then, as if taking off a ‘coat’, ‘Edward’ got out of this tall, strong body.

Edward, who was covered with some kind of slime, looked rather embarrassed, and the tall, strong body, with his head flying far away, began to wither after Edward got out.

In the breath, it becomes something like ‘snake’.

Do not!

To be precise, "human slough!"

Edward touched the slime on his face.

At this time, Edward finally had no smile on his face.

There is only anger, resentment and ... unbelievable.

Edward was convinced that he had cut off Jason's head.

Can you live without a head?

Obviously impossible.

How did Jason live?

Is it ‘ceremony’?

Involuntarily, Edward started to associate, and his gaze changed to Jason.

"That's it!"

"It's not just that I discovered that point!"

"You found it too!"

"No wonder when you wrote a good" Crossroad Tracker ", it will become mediocre. Not only does the pen strength decline, but there is no logic. It turns out that your energy has been invested in the study of the" mysterious side "."

Edward nodded as he spoke, and the surprise and disbelief in his eyes began to disappear.

Edward has seen and experienced the power on the mysterious side.

It is normal to have that kind of magical power, and to do more things that are contrary to normal.

Jason is resurrected.

Isn't he also resurrected?

This is nothing strange.

But there is a little omission, Edward is cherished.

"You have a considerable degree of" mysterious knowledge ", and you are superior in self-perception, even, you have similar techniques and rituals of applied perception! Because only in this way can you combine the two, divination, and calculate to my perfect plan. ! So, you just take the countermeasures into account. You did n’t prevent everything from happening, and did n’t act pretentiously. You just waited quietly, waiting for me to show flaws! "

"I didn't think that my opponent was also a" mysterious person ", this is my biggest mistake!"

There was resentment on Edward's face.

Jason raised a brow behind the mask.

He really wanted to say one thing, if you think too much, this is not the case at all.

However, Jason did not speak.

He didn't mind the enemy thinking more.

Because this is good for him.

Edward continued.

"You cleverly caught my flaw!"

"This is as it should be. You know when to interrupt my ritual."

"I also know that the flaw of the" interrupted words "that I deliberately exposed before is a trap."

"but!"

"Do you really think you have everything?"

Edward's voice became louder and he pointed at Jason with his cane in his hand, saying one by one: "Do you really think I haven't planned the worst?"

"Tell you!"

"I don't just finish the" reincarnation "ceremony!"

"There are others!"

When the words fell, Edward disappeared.

The next moment, when Edward appeared again, he was already standing behind Jason.

Edward came out of Jason's shadow.

The former king cane of Cherry City still pointed at Jason, and the bottom of the cane radiated a little deep light.

This radiance was like the glow of a firefly, but Jason, who was ‘shone’, felt as if a mountain was pressing on him, but Jason did n’t care.

Under the ice hockey mask, Jason's nose twitched.

He smelled the smell of ‘food’.

It is Edward's walking stick.

Jason can be sure that this cane was a very common cane before.

And now?

It became very delicious.

Does some kind of ritual mask its own smell?

Jason guessed very heartily.

Since I can hide a piece of ‘food’.

Will that hide more ‘food’?

Thinking of this, Jason's saliva began to secrete involuntarily.

His heart was full of anticipation.

Edward looked at the bound Jason, but his heart was full of resentment and hatred.

This kind of resentment and hatred is far more tenfold than when he chose Jason's "Crossroad Tracker".

After all, when choosing, he chose actively.

But now?

All this is the layout of the person in front of you!

That's right!

All this is layout!

Edward, who had just thought of something, looked at Jason's back, his teeth crunching.

"You must have noticed something from my original transaction, so when I hadn't selected" Crossroad Tracker ", you began to influence me subtly, which made me choose your book."

"I have to say, you are really smart!"

"I didn't find out until now!"

"wrong!"

"It's not like this!"

"You shouldn't start to influence me at that time, it should be earlier!"

Edward said, suddenly denying what he had just said, and then a sudden look appeared on his face.

"I have been wondering why I suddenly came into contact with the special knowledge of the" mysterious side "when I knew that. It turned out that it was your arrangement."

"You were exposed to the special knowledge of the" mysterious side "earlier than me, and your talents are also quite outstanding. Naturally, you know that thing."

"For that matter, you have the same fear in my heart."

"So, you also started to save yourself."

"Unfortunately, your talent is very good, but you don't have enough" financial resources "to collect or purchase more materials. Therefore, you need someone who is also rich with torture but also very rich Selected me. "

"That's it!"

Edward took a deep breath and looked at Jason's back, his eyes full of fear.

He never imagined that everything in himself was just the layout of others.

Such a person is terrible!

Never let the other party live!

"However, you have missed something!"

"Not only do I have more money than you think, my talent is even better!"

"After I confirmed the existence of the" mysterious side ", I purchased several singular objects and completed several" ceremonies "in a short time. You felt uneasy and you were afraid that I was beyond your control, so , You secretly shot and interrupted my key 'ritual', which caused my psyche to be severely damaged and had to adopt the 'reincarnation' ritual! "

"I was wondering at the time why I was clearly prepared and would still fail, and I happened to have measures to make up after the failure."

"I'm thankful for this."

"And now I'm thankful!"

"Fortunately, I didn't find out too late!"

Edward said this, and stopped.

He has fully understood the causes and consequences of the matter.

right now?

Naturally, we want to kill Jason.

Kill this Jason who manipulated his life!

"go to hell!"

"You guy who manipulates the lives of others at will!"

Edward yelled, the cane in his hand stuck straight out.

Jason, who was bound by a special force field, had no room to dodge at all. The cane straightly penetrated Jason's back, and was able to resist the defense of the explosive level. Under this puncture that looked like a blunt device, it was just resisted. Not even a second.

puff!

The cane pierced Jason's heart, protruding directly from Jason's chest.

However, this is not over.

Edward loosened his cane, took a few steps back, and twisted the ruby ​​ring on his hand.

boom!

A large amount of flames erupted from the ring, directly submerging Jason.

The flames are burning.

laugh!

The specific noise of fat and oil came from the flames when burning.

"Dead!"

"go to hell!"

"I want to keep you dead!"

Edward roared and twisted the ring again.

Suddenly, the flames became fiercer.

"Jason!"

The distant John and Brian exclaimed, but apart from the exclaimation, the two could do nothing, and the little fluorescent light belonging to the cane also enveloped them.

"Since you can't be my knight, you can die."

Edward said coldly to the two.

He slightly raised his finger ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Bound John and Brian pointed at each other with guns in their hands.

The two struggled.

But compared with the power of restraint, it is too weak.

Useless at all.

Looking at the muzzle at hand, John and Brian's faces appeared helpless.

Death, they thought about it more than once.

But I did not expect it to be such a result.

Just as the two were about to give up, suddenly the little fluorescent light on them disappeared.

The two regained their freedom.

And in the sound of flame burning, it also sounded, as if it was a strange noise of chewing-
