Lee Sin's Bizzare Adventure - Chapter 24
Lee Sin concentrated, trying to ignore the disturbing sounds of flesh writhing around him.
Yes, it was indeed a car.
Judging by the sound, it seemed to be a large bus!
He suddenly regained his vitality:
The bus was getting closer and would enter his Heaven’s Strike skill range of 300 meters in just a few seconds.
With the bus, there must be a driver and passengers, all of whom could serve as targets for his Heaven’s Strike.
During the six or seven hours he had spent on the sea earlier, Lee Sin hadn’t been idle. He had already thoroughly understood the effects of his skills through various methods:
Whether it was Resonating Strike or Golden Bell Shield…
As long as it was a displacement ability that could “traverse terrain” in the game, it would have a special and mysterious ability when adapted to the real world—
During the displacement, he could ignore all obstacles.
Because the moment he entered the displacement state, his body would already be “virtualized.”
Just like mastering some profound wall-passing technique, he would rush in a straight line towards his displacement target, passing through all obstacles, including humans, along the way.
Although enemy attacks could still cause him damage during this process, whether it was punches or bullets, they would only pass through his body as if passing through air, unable to hit his physical form.
This means…
“As long as I can hit the passengers on that bus with Heaven’s Strike, I can use Resonating Strike’s ‘displacement state’ to directly penetrate this flesh blob!”
“No matter how strong it is, it won’t be able to restrain my ‘virtualized’ body!”
A glimmer of hope flashed in Lee Sin’s dim eyes, as if he had seen the light again in that moment.
He focused all his attention, locking onto the bus’s position with his enhanced hearing, but immediately realized a critical problem:
The “launcher” of Heaven’s Strike was his right fist. To cast Heaven’s Strike, he needed to aim his fist at the target he wanted to hit.
And now, the bus was behind him, about three to four hundred meters away.
But Lee Sin couldn’t turn around.
The revolting flesh blob was tightly binding his waist, legs, and shoulders, making it impossible for him to even turn his body.
Lee Sin now felt like a criminal nailed to a cross, helplessly pinned in place by the entangling flesh.
“Damn it…”
He gritted his teeth, trying with all his might to extend his fist behind him.
But the flesh blob, either sensing Lee Sin’s intention to escape or acting on instinct, tightened its grip even more.
It used its writhing, disgusting body to firmly stick to Lee Sin’s shoulders and elbows, making it impossible for him to move his fist, not even an inch.
“Get off me… get off me!”
Lee Sin roared in anger, attempting to break free from the flesh blob’s grasp with an explosive burst of strength.
But the bindings of flesh and tendrils remained unyielding.
The pressure exerted on him increased, and if he were an ordinary person, his bones would have been crushed, and his limbs torn apart by now.
Though Lee Sin’s “indestructible” data-form body spared him the agony of broken bones, it couldn’t save him from the despair of being slowly devoured by this monstrous flesh.
“No way…”
“I can’t do it!”
The hope that had just ignited vanished without a trace:
“The bus will pass out of my skill range in a few seconds, and my health can only hold on for another 6 seconds at most.”
“And I…”
“I can’t even turn around to cast a skill!”
Lee Sin bit his lip tightly, an uncontrollable surge of regret welling up inside him:
If…
If I hadn’t deliberately let Andrew escape,
and had forced him to stay with me in this dangerous situation… then now, I would have a ‘teammate,’ a ‘friendly target’ to cast Golden Bell Shield on.
Golden Bell Shield was also a displacement skill, capable of getting him out of this predicament.
Unfortunately, the only friendly target he could cast Golden Bell Shield on so far had been prematurely sent away by his own unnecessary action.
Stupid, so stupid!
I actually sentenced myself to death because of a meaningless act of compassion for an NPC.
This is truly…
“A disgrace!!”
“This me who blames my failure on the lack of a ‘teammate’…”
“Is an absolute disgrace!”
At the brink of life and death, a fierce flame suddenly ignited in Lee Sin’s once lifeless eyes:
“I am The One.”
“I am the most special existence in this game world!”
“I have always prided myself on enjoying challenges, considering myself the highest-level player.”
“If I need to drag that useless fat man into danger to win, then such a cowardly me… might as well die!”
Lee Sin gritted his teeth, a resolve flashing in his mind:
“Determination, huh?”
“Even a newbie NPC like Amor could do it, why shouldn’t I dare!”
“The so-called determination…”
“Is to carve out a path forward in the darkest wilderness!”
Feeling the surge of blood boiling within him, he resolutely executed a move he had never dared to try before:
“Data mode——”
“Deactivate!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the white shadows in his eyes dissipated instantly, and his data-form body reverted to its normal flesh form.
Lee Sin had tested this before; from deactivating data mode to re-entering it, there was about a one-second ‘load’ time.
In this brief moment, he would have to bear the pain with his flesh body.
Just like now:
The grotesque flesh blob clinging to him, like a shark smelling blood, began to ravenously gnaw at his flesh.
Skin tore, blood gushed.
Flesh was devoured bite by bite, and bones cracked under the pressure.
“Ah!!”
Lee Sin couldn’t help but let out a cry of pain.
Having always fought in data mode, it was his first time experiencing such hellish pain in battle.
Watching his own body being gnawed, torn, and devoured by a monster was an even more terrifying sight than the pain itself.
But this was exactly what Lee Sin wanted:
He wanted his body to be broken.
Because the data-form body was indestructible, even if it tore under great force, it would instantly heal the moment it was damaged.
So no matter how hard he tried, his arm wouldn’t bend due to the pressure.
Only in flesh form, in the fragile flesh form, could he completely break his arm—
Break it to an angle impossible for a normal arm.
“It’s now or never!”
Based on his previous sense, Lee Sin roughly estimated the timing of the bus entering his Heaven’s Strike range.
He endured the excruciating pain of being devoured by the flesh blob, mustering all his strength to extend his arm backward.
At this moment, his elbow joint was already half-eaten by the grotesque flesh.
The fragile, broken joint couldn’t bear the force of the struggle between his arm and the flesh tendrils, instantly deforming and bending.
Thus…
Lee Sin’s right forearm, at a twisted 270-degree angle, aimed his fist at the direction of the passing bus behind him, despite his inability to turn!
“Data mode, activate!”
He instantly activated data mode, blocking out all the pain.
Data mode would immediately restore his broken body to perfect condition, but the restoration would take a brief moment.
In this fleeting moment, his right arm remained in its twisted, backward-bent state.
The bloodstained fist aimed steadily behind Lee Sin, targeting the bus passing three hundred meters away.
“Please…”
“Please hit.”
“This is my last skill——”
With a roar of desperation and hope, Lee Sin unleashed his final attack:
“Heaven’s Strike!”
