The Death List Novel - Chapter 146
Chapter 146 Indiana Jones
“Bang!” A crystal-like crack sounded in the air. A mirror-like magic array dissipated with the wind. At the same time, two swift figures crisscrossed in the air.
“Proficient in the hidden personality of close-quarters assassination?”
Catherine frowned slightly and staggered on the ground. The pain at the base of her thigh had seriously affected her agility. With a frosty expression on her face, she turned around to face the man who was shrouded in a violent aura.
The passageway was dark. The murderer cunningly shattered all the explosion-proof lights at the top of the passageway. His bright red eyes were once again covered with a layer of green night vision. He looked like a demon accustomed to hunting in the middle of the night.
Catherine closed her eyes expressionlessly. She did not have night vision. Relying on her powerful perception, she could easily dodge the attacks of her opponents.
Normally, if she could not rely on her equipment to see things, she would wisely choose to retreat first. However, this was not the case. Although this was not the first time she had entered the underground shelter, she was still unable to remember the route of the passageway.
Originally, Catherine’s movement speed was far faster than that of the German archer, but now, her leg was injured, and her opponent had night vision. She was wearing a strange acceleration magic array and wind drift spell.
Running away blindly would only leave an even bigger flaw for the opponent. Right now, the only correct strategy was to stay where they were and wait for reinforcements. As long as they dragged on for another ten minutes, the Allied forces on the ground should be able to break through the interception and enter the underground shelter. At that time, the person who escaped was this dual-character Abyss Devil.
“Hey, are you stalling?” ‘”I’ve seen a lot of idiots who wanted to waste time in front of Uncle Joey, but they all died before the guards arrived. Do you want to know why? Uncle Joey will tell you!” Joey smiled sinisterly.
Joey suddenly retreated, retreated a certain distance, and leapt up, charging towards Catherine, who had closed her eyes and sensed it. As his body was still in the air, a mirror-shaped magic array appeared beneath his feet.
“Bang!” As the crystal mirror spell shattered, Joey’s figure dragged out an afterimage in the air. However, this wasn’t the end. The short distance between the Killer Demon and Catherine was dozens of meters. Seven or eight crystal mirror magic arrays appeared consecutively. They were like crystal mirror gourds connected in series.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!” Quantitative change led to qualitative change. With the rapid increase in movement speed, the sound of an air explosion breaking through the sound barrier could finally be heard in the air.
The Crystal Mirror Magic Formation, which Qin Lun had originally used as a speed-shifting evasion technique, had actually allowed him to move faster than the speed of sound in the hands of Joey the Decomposer!
In an instant, before Catherine could react, Joey’s fierce demonic face was stuck to her beautiful face! The unique aura of the opposite sex rushed into each other’s noses.
…
On the other side of the passageway, two equally tall and robust men supported the wall and gasped for breath.
There were countless bloody whips on Grant’s body. There were also many bruises on his limbs and joints. In some places, there were even abnormal concavity and protrusion. This was a sign that he had fractured before.
If it was a superhuman with other abilities, he would have collapsed to the ground by now, unable to move. However, the clown’s viral parasitic bloodline was extremely resilient, as if it was born to be the nemesis of a superpower like Dr. Jones.
Although Dr. Jones was tall and robust, he was not actually a superpower combat profession. Apart from his extraordinarily familiar whip skills, his combat ability was very balanced. He knew how to use a spear and was also proficient in close combat and swordsmanship.
If one had to find a strong characteristic in him, then it was that he was knowledgeable and had a strong ability to adapt to the situation. Most of the time, he relied on his intelligence and wit to obtain victory in battle, rather than clashing head-on.
In terms of combat power alone, Dr. Jones would probably be counted down from the bottom to the top in the Justice Alliance. However, Grant’s bloodline level was too low, and he was also not considered an official superpower, which was why he was suppressed by the doctor.
In just ten minutes, Jones had already left countless bloody wounds on Grant’s body with his whip, and had even torn off his limbs. If Grant’s recovered bloodline hadn’t happened to be unafraid of this kind of soft kill, this battle would have ended long ago.
However, Grant had suffered too many injuries, his viral bloodline had almost reached its limit, and his recovery speed was slowly slowing down. Dr. Jones, on the other hand, had to stop attacking occasionally to rest because his stamina had declined so much.
At this moment, the two of them suddenly felt something and looked up at a fork in the passage in surprise. Of course, they didn’t want to look at the walls of the passageway at the fork in the road. Instead, they sensed a dark aura that made their hearts palpitate.
This aura was like a cold wind that seeped into the bone marrow of a winter night. Even though they were far away from the wall of the passageway, it still gave them a horrifying feeling. It was as if they were walking alone in a cemetery filled with undead late at night.
“Hehe, have you revealed your true colors? Dissecter!” Grant whispered. He took out a human skin mask from his chest and put it on his face. He turned to Jones and said, “Dr. Jones, the clown is willing to help you. Do you want my mouth to crack a little bigger …”
As Grant put on the human skin mask, Jones felt a strange aura pervading the passageway, as if a pair of funny and strange eyes were looking down at him from above.
Jones’s expression turned solemn. He looked at the clown in front of him with a complicated expression and slowly said, “No, you look very good now. It suits you very well. What can I do for you?”
Grant’s entire body trembled when he saw the Doctor’s suddenly friendly words. He covered his face with his hand and licked his lips with his tongue. His shoulders trembled slightly, and he let out a strange laugh from low to high.
“Hehe, Dr. Jones, Indiana Jones, the greatest archaeological explorer in the world, the legend of the United States! I admire you more and more. You are the first person to recognize the truth immediately after I put on my mask! But do you really have no demands on me?”
“Paranoid personality disorder!” Indiana Jones lowered her head and muttered to herself, “No wonder he has such a great tolerance for pain, coupled with his extremely resilient superpower bloodline … This is going to be troublesome!”
Dr. Jones’s full name was Henry Jones II, but he didn’t like to be called himself II, so it was Indiana Jones. Indiana was a dog that he had raised since he was young. After the death of the big dog, Indiana became his nickname.
Dr. Jones is a professor of archaeology at a university. He loves adventure and archaeology all over the world. In the middle and later stages of World War II, several treasure adventures in Nazi Germany were prevented.
Of course, the German military’s treasure exploration was not an ordinary archaeological activity. Rather, Germany wanted to obtain some powerful items that possessed mysterious power in legends, in an attempt to dominate the world with such powerful items.
If it were the other superpowers of the Justice Alliance, it would be very difficult for them to confirm Grant’s mental state during the battle. However, Indiana Jones was different. His archaeological adventures around the world allowed him to experience countless strange things. With his profound knowledge, he discovered the mental changes of Grant the clown at the first possible moment.
“Paranoid personality disorder” has many manifestations, but one thing is the same, that is, this kind of person is extremely sensitive, rebellious, like a stubborn mule, can only follow.
To put it more plainly, this type of combat profession had a very high level of anger. Anger was directly proportional to combat strength. Combined with an extremely resilient bloodline ability, it was simply a replica of an Undying Little Strong. Not only would it explode into the small universe, it would also possess the in situ Blood Resurrection Skill.
“Mr. Clown, if you want me to make a request, I want to ask you a question!” The doctor narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, “Although I have some fame in the archaeological world, this influence is negligible in Germany. But you seem to really admire me. Can you let me know why?”
Indiana Jones had actually noticed Grant’s peculiar gaze during the battle. It was a gaze that carried a trace of admiration in the midst of madness.
Jones did not know that Grant actually came from another future space-time. The killers of the North American region of the Earth Federation could not understand why he worshipped him. However, dealing with a psychopath with a paranoid personality disorder, diverting his attention away from his eyes, is a good idea.
Although he knew that Jones was digging a hole for him, the clown was still happy. Facing Jones’ question, Grant, who was wearing a mask, revealed an ugly smile. He was somewhat pleased with himself.
This complacency was not due to the hypocritical respect that Dr. Jones had shown, but to his temporary companion, Qin Lun, who was also a murderer.
Grant was born in the federal North American region. Although he had an unsightly childhood, he had a social life compared to the life of the “Decomposer” who was imprisoned.
Legendary characters like Jones, who lived all over the world and adventured everywhere, had a strong appeal to every child in North America. In Grant’s miserable life, reading and imagining the adventures of such a legendary figure was a rare memory.
The first time Grant saw Jones, he immediately felt a strong desire to fight. As long as he thought about fighting a legend he admired since childhood, he would be unable to control himself. He even ignored Catherine, who also met the standards of a top-notch prey.
He hurriedly pounced on Jones, not wanting to give Kieran time to think so that the Decomposer wouldn’t compete with him for prey. Qin Lun had no goal in life, only a strong sense of curiosity remained in his mind. If he understood Indiana Jones’ true identity, something might happen.
In fact, if it wasn’t for the critical situation and Qin Lun really didn’t know Indiana Jones, Grant’s worries might have happened. Perhaps the two murderers would have put on a good show of internal strife in front of the enemy.
“I like archaeological exploration!” The clown tilted his neck and said.
“It’s that simple?”
“It’s that simple!” The clown’s eyes shone with a red light as he laughed strangely, “I’ve fulfilled one of your wishes, Doctor. Don’t you want to make some more difficult demands on the clown?”
“Does this count as satisfying one of my wishes? Could it be that he has subjective delusional autism!” Jones widened his eyes and his expression changed. He muttered to himself in horror, “This guy is really sick!”
