"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"

Li Si grabbed Carl's piercing wrist with one hand and narrowly blocked the dagger when it penetrated half a knuckle into the chest. At the same time, he twisted the arm half a circle and pulled it diagonally downward. He also bumped forward, knocking Carl away.

Plop!

Carl flew directly for several meters and fell to the edge of the ring. There was a hint of astonishment in the originally indifferent eyes.

In those few blows just now, he didn't even have time to react.

In other words, even if he reacted, it would be useless. He twisted his hands and released his force to interfere with his center of gravity almost in one go. Moreover, just after his center of gravity was deflected, he received a shoulder collision. The force was so terrifying that he had no room to resist.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this scene, Cyril·Cross and Dilu Modar, who were sitting in the audience, also had their pupils shrink suddenly, and subconsciously turned their heads to look at Sen·Angus.

However, Sen·Angus's expression was not much better than theirs, with the same look of shock on his face.

For three people to become the leaders of hundreds of hound members, strength and intelligence are indispensable. Since they can sit in this position, they naturally have the ability to match it.

Li Si The strength shown just now may not be very strong for them, but this kind of strength, especially the close combat strength, can completely remind them of many things.

Carl is the top general under Cyril·Cross, otherwise Cyril·Cross would not be confident enough to let Carl come on the field first and let Dilu·Modar choose someone to target.

What was shown in the two battles just now was not Carl's full strength. He just chose the most cost-effective fighting method in order to save his energy.

Instantly control Carl, which is known for its agility and speed, and knock it away without any resistance?

This requires more than just skills. It can be said that even if Cyril·Cross does it himself, it is simply impossible to do it if the physical attributes are insufficient.

But physical attributes?

It is not difficult to understand from the previous conversation that this so-called Jack·Kobe·Angus entered the game together with Mr. Angus. In other words, this "Mr. Jack" did not have much time to upgrade and obtain templates.

For a pure newcomer, the theoretical standard attributes of a human body scanned in from reality are a little. Even with the bonus of Angus's battle suit, the strength attribute should only be about five or six points at most.

But now this "newcomer" is obviously more than that. I dare not say anything else. At least the power attribute of the burst just now cannot be worse than Carl.

Although the power increase of Cross's battle suit is relatively low, after all, the basic attributes of Carl's various templates are high, and with the enhancement of the battle suit, it can reach at least a dozen points.

This is obviously not a level that ordinary newcomers can achieve, and even only a few of their subordinates can achieve this level.

"Is this a fake?"

"No, the performance just now doesn't look like an act, and if Mori Angus has doubts, it's impossible not to confirm the identities of these two people."

Cyril·Cross and Diru·Modar's eyes flickered, their hearts sank at the same time, and some very bad guesses emerged.

To be able to enter the game and show such a high level of physical fitness is either a breakthrough in Angus's human body enhancement technology, or a breakthrough in combat suit technology, and it is a leap forward.

If you assume that Jack Kobe Bryant and that Angus are both real, then it is not impossible.

Even the real Angus can enter the game, so there is nothing impossible about breakthroughs in suit technology or enhanced technology.

However, being able to accept the results of the Angus technological breakthrough does not mean that they can accept the consequences of the Angus technological breakthrough.

If from now on the people in Angus are just little Superman who have more than a dozen attributes as soon as they enter the game, then they will have nothing to compete with.

Once the two sides start a war, even if they win, those who died will have to start leveling up all over again. However, Angus randomly arranges a group of people to build accounts and becomes a group of elite troops. With only one or two consumption, Cross Hound and Modal Hound will be completely defeated.

Just thinking about that scene, the two people's mentality began to collapse.

However, I'm afraid neither Cyril·Cross nor Dilu Modar expected that Sen·Angus's current mentality is even worse than theirs.

He has not forgotten what "Jack" told him, "he" is "their" substitute!

A substitute with stronger initial attributes, which also completely makes up for the shortcomings of melee ability, and can even be on par with Cross?

Does this mean that the higher-ups have decided to eliminate and replace all of them?

If you think about it from another person's perspective, if he is the one who makes the decision, he will naturally choose the "product" with better performance. As for the eliminated products, whether they are idle, spare, or destroyed, it all depends on the mood of the decision-maker.

"No, we absolutely cannot afford to lose anything this time. We must win a larger share... Just in time, we can take the opportunity to show off."

Sen·Angus silently glanced at "Master Angus" and made up his mind.

Unfortunately, he obviously didn't notice that his original respect, which was just for safety reasons, was influenced by someone's successive superb acting skills and the worry about gains and losses provoked by the ups and downs. He had subconsciously treated the two of them as his own people, and the focus of his thinking had unconsciously changed from "Are they real?" to "If they are real, how should I save them?"

No matter what their personality is, most people are always easily carried away when faced with matters related to gains and losses in their own interests. Especially when facing the core survival interests, it is difficult to think comprehensively and calmly when they are worried about gains and losses.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he has forgotten his previous doubts, but that these doubts have been temporarily suppressed by him.

However, although it is only temporarily suppressed now, it may not necessarily be the case later.

Li Si Such a series of hard-working performances requires more than just being temporarily unsuspected.

If a person really puts in actions and efforts for imaginary benefits, then the word imaginary will be automatically removed as his efforts increase.

This is just like those people who have been fooled into illegal fund-raising traps. They were initially hesitant, but as they invested a small amount of money with hesitation, well, there was no problem for the time being, so it must not be fake. Maybe I can really get huge returns, and continue to invest more and more money.

In the end, even if someone told him that it was false, he would not believe it subjectively, and would not even think about the issue in depth.

What? It's fake. It's impossible. I invested so much money and there was no problem. How could it be fake? The rewards will come immediately!

This is a very typical operating mechanism of human psychology.

It can be said that as long as Li Si and Max don't reveal too many flaws and continue to provide a little guidance to prevent Sen. Angus from jumping out of this strange thinking circle, his suspicion will subside unconsciously.

Even if another big pie is added, the benefits that Sen Angus desires can change from "survival" to "obtaining benefits", allowing him to subjectively firmly believe in the identity of the two of them.
