Chapter 418: Chapter 95: Shocking People!
As much as he liked to joke, Li Changhe couldn’t help but feel uneasy, knowing that his opponent was difficult to deal with.
It seemed that Li Changhe had suffered more severe injuries than the homeless man. His Great Wall Windbreaker’s hood had been knocked down, revealing his disguised face.
The Mimetic Clay attached to his face had been damaged, making his face appear twisted and distorted, like a cracked mask.
Blood trickled down from his left temple, and with the cracked face, he looked terrifying. Actually, the injury wasn’t serious, just a scratch.
But this didn’t bring Li Changhe any joy, instead, it made him more cautious.
"My first move was countered. How did he predict the direction of my attack?"
The moment Li Changhe used [Shadow Step] to get behind the homeless man and tried to execute [Fierce Tiger Climbing Hard], the homeless man had already turned around and swung his golf club, as if Li Changhe had intentionally appeared within his attack range.
Moreover, various bizarre effects had been applied to Li Changhe, turning his preemptive assassination attempt into a dangerous trap for him.
His internal organs began to ache, and strange noises filled his ears. Even his vision had become inverted.
This inversion of vision in particular was challenging Li Changhe’s combat instincts.
Humans often react through direct observation.
For example, when faced with danger, some instinctively raise their arms, while others instinctively reach out for their companions.
Even if these actions are often useless, they are instinctual human responses.
For [Players] who frequently engage in combat, their battle instincts become especially important.
They can react differently to various situations.
In most cases, the right reaction to an unexpected crisis can be life-saving.
For instance, when facing an opponent with a wide-open fighting style, Li Changhe’s battle instincts would suggest, "Master Li, try to cut off their middle route."
This subconscious reaction is called a battle instinct.
However, with the inverted vision effect applied to Li Changhe, his instinctive reactions had become his biggest hazard.
The club that was clearly coming from the left appeared to be coming from the right in Li Changhe’s viewpoint.
Li Changhe instinctively wanted to twist his body to avoid it.
Fortunately, he quickly realized something was wrong, and Yun Ting simultaneously pulled his body. Otherwise, his injury would have been worse.
"The Great Wall Windbreaker with mental resistance didn’t work, so it must be a curse. When did I get affected?" Li Changhe quickly analyzed the homeless man’s strength and his own condition.
The pain was bearable for Li Changhe, whose enhanced psychological framework allowed him to cope with it.
As for the soul-stealing howling noise that tortured his eardrums,
Other than distracting him and making him not attentive to other sounds, it didn’t cause any actual harm to Li Changhe.
The most troublesome thing was still the inverted vision!
Under such circumstances, instinctive actions when facing enemy attacks could be lethal for Li Changhe.
Moreover...if the opponent could revoke and reapply the curse at any time, Li Changhe would be completely done for!
If he managed to suppress his instincts and got used to the inverted vision, defending his left side when facing attacks from the right,
and the enemy had already lifted the curse...
"Listening to sounds for positioning is also useless; it’s difficult for me to catch those subtle sounds now." Li Changhe could only hear messy howling noises, making it hard for him to hear the sound of weapons piercing through the air or footsteps.
"In other words, the enemy has sealed your vision and hearing. What you see and hear may not necessarily be real or fake. At the same time, you must endure the visceral pain caused by the third curse." Yun Ting contemplated for a moment and said, "It’s because you have some resistance to curses. Otherwise, the effect would be worse. It’s a bit tricky for you, but I will help you later."
"Let’s put the curse aside for now." Li Changhe looked at the homeless man not far away, leaning against the wall, "That guy...at the very moment I used Shadow Step, turned around without hesitation and swung the golf club as if he was 100% sure I would appear behind him."
"Similar to the box’s danger prediction?" Yun Ting said in his mind, "He can indeed sense danger beforehand."
"It’s not the same. The box’s ability is more like a skill or sixth sense, only detecting danger so that he can activate [Beast Fury Mad King] to avoid death in advance. It doesn’t predict the opponent’s combat movements." Li Changhe thoughtfully pinched his right hand, "His ability is more like precognition."
On the other side, at the central platform of the stairs, the homeless man touched the bruise on his chest.
While feeling some pain, he couldn’t help but feel scared. If he wasn’t prepared, his neck would have been broken or his heart shattered by the punch.
"At least I can tell that his strength attribute isn’t high, and my [Iron Wall] can withstand his attack-type skills."
"However, in that situation, he was still able to complete the attack, and we both ended up with mutual injuries. No wonder he is an official player!"
During their brief exchange, both of them could feel each other’s strength.
The homeless man speculated that there might be some attribute disparities between them.
But actual combat experience and momentum couldn’t be compensated by just a few attribute points.
Li Changhe’s guess was correct – the homeless man indeed had a means of precognition.
He had spent a great price to obtain the Magic Eye, the [Future Demon Eye]!
Of course, this "future" wasn’t exact; it could see the future development and direction of the subject’s movements.
When Li Changhe raised his arm, the homeless man’s pupils flickered with light and shadow.
What he saw was the scene of being attacked by Li Changhe from behind.
Thus, Li Changhe’s sneak attack was ineffective for him. Instead, he had willingly entered his attack range.
Unfortunately, even though he knew the opponent would appear behind him and had made some preparations, he still got hurt.
Sneak attack, counter sneak attack, counter-counter sneak attack.
In just one exchange, both switched roles multiple times, thinking they were on the second level, but in reality, they were on the fifth.
The homeless man let out a sigh, "Well, let me see if I, as a train passenger, can defeat an official team leader! He has already been affected by my three curses. As long as I keep engaging in close combat with him and manage the timing of the curse removal, he will be doomed!"
As he thought about it, he looked up at the figure at the entrance of the third-floor staircase and sneered, "Yang Dong, you shouldn’t have let the masked woman handle the abnormal incident. You should have attacked me together."
Li Changhe nodded slightly in agreement, "You’re right. Engaging in close combat with you when my vision and hearing are disturbed is stupid, and I, Brother Dong, never do such stupid things."
"But I can still attack you on my own. After all, it’s something not very honorable. I usually call it..."
The homeless man’s face suddenly changed as his Magic Eye saw something bizarre.
"He really has precognition abilities and has already predicted that I would activate [Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers]? That’s at least a second in advance!" Li Changhe observed the change in his expression and quickly thought to himself.
Meanwhile, with both hands spread out, a green flame surged behind him and steam roared out loudly!
"Rocking it!"
