Chapter 517: Hitting yourself! (Second update, please subscribe!)
Invisibility is just hiding the physical form. Explained from an optical perspective, if light can be distorted in a certain way, invisibility can be achieved.
In layman's terms, light is originally emitted in a straight line. If there is a way to make the light that was originally a straight line become a curve, and it can bypass the object itself.
Then this object that the light "bypassed" can exist in an invisible state.
But this is only visual invisibility. As for the object itself, from a spatial perspective, it still exists.
If the Sentinel Services determined that this abandoned bank building was the base of the mutant underground, even if they couldn't see it, it wouldn't affect them using heavy firepower to wash the area at all!
Using invisibility to counter the Sentinel Services is no different from covering one's ears to steal a bell.
This is what Sage meant.
Su Quan smiled and shook his head. "Invisibility is indeed meaningless, but hiding is not necessarily! To tell you the truth, what I am currently most proficient at is manipulating spatial dimensions!"
"Manipulating spatial dimensions?"
"How do you do it?"
Everyone asked curiously.
Su Quan pointed at Sonia and said, "Assume she is the base right now, and Sage is the Sentinel Services. Sage, go hit her."
"Ah?"
"It's fine, go ahead and hit."
"Alright."
Sage swung her fist half-doubtingly. Just as her fist was about to hit Sonia, she suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief!
"*Bang! "
The fist hit a shoulder, but it wasn't Sonia's shoulder—it was Sage's own shoulder.
"How is this possible?!"
Sonia stood there without doing anything, and her own fist hadn't turned.
Why?
Why would a straight punch thrown out inexplicably land on herself?!
John and Sonia were as surprised as Sage, equally unable to understand this operation.
"You can try a few more times, be careful not to hurt yourself. John, you try too," Su Quan said with a smile.
"Okay."
John followed suit and attacked Sonia along with Sage, and then experienced what it meant to hit yourself!
Punching and kicking, fast or slow, light or heavy.
No matter what kind of attack method, as long as it was aimed at Sonia, it would eventually land on themselves.
While fighting, Sage seemed to have discovered the key point and gave up on punching and kicking, lunging at Sonia fiercely.
Hitting you equals hitting myself, so if I tackle you, it shouldn't turn into me tackling myself, right?
Hey, it actually could!
A pair of hands—more accurately, Sage's own hands—suddenly reached out from the side and forcefully pushed her away from the side.
"*Bang! "
Sage fell to the ground on her side.
John hurriedly waved his hand to help her up, but Sage pushed his hand away. She simply sat on the ground and looked up at Su Quan.
"It feels somewhat similar to Clarice's portal, but Clarice can't yet open two connected portals simultaneously, nor can she be as calm and invisible as you."
Su Quan nodded with a smile. "The principle is the same; both use space to transfer targets."
As he spoke, Su Quan condensed a teleportation crystal and threw it out, directly opening two portals.
One in front, one in the distance.
Su Quan put his hand into the portal in front of him, and his hand reached out directly from the portal in the distance.
"Is this my ability? I mean... can I reach this level in the future?"
Clarice walked over from the distance at some point, looking at Su Quan and the two portals with envy.
Su Quan nodded with a smile. "Of course you can."
Clarice's eyes lit up with excitement, and then she couldn't help but rub her hands and ask, "Bu... but what should I do?"
"I will help you."
"That's great, thank you!"
Clarice knew they were discussing the rescue of Lorna, so she suppressed the excitement and anticipation in her heart and stood quietly behind Su Quan.
Sage stood up and said seriously, "If this effect can cover the entire building, and you and Clarice can open portals, even if we are besieged, there shouldn't be any big problems. Even if the situation changes, we can evacuate at any time."
John and Sonia nodded in agreement.
Advance to defend, retreat to evacuate.
Perfect!
Sage asked again, "I have one last question. How long can you maintain this ability? If you fall asleep or leave here, will it have an impact?"
We are all risking our safety to adventure with you. When the army arrives, if you can't hold on or run away, what do we do? Stay here and wait for death?
Su Quan smiled and said, "First of all, this change in spatial dimensions can be permanent. Once it's set, it's the same whether I'm here or not!"
"Secondly..."
Su Quan looked at everyone and laughed.
"I hope you understand that it's not me dragging you into the water, nor is it me making you adventure with me. It's you who want me to save Lorna, worried that Lorna will anger the Sentinel Services, which is why I proposed this method!"
"I said if Lorna wants to make a big scene, I'll accompany her to turn the world upside down. That's a matter between her and me, and has nothing to do with you or the mutant underground!"
"Taking a step back, if I didn't participate, if you wanted to save Lorna, you would still have to confront them head-on. In other words, whether I'm here or not, you will anger the Sentinel Services, unless you give up on the rescue."
"Impossible! We absolutely cannot give up on Lorna!" Sonia said without hesitation.
Su Quan spread his hands. "Then what else is there to say? You should be thanking me, not questioning or complaining about me!"
When everyone heard this, it seemed to be the case!
Why did it turn out like this? Everyone calmed down and thought about it, and reached a conclusion.
A few reasons.
Su Quan's strength is beyond doubt, but after all, they haven't spent much time together, and a foundation of trust hasn't been established yet, so when he proposed the method, everyone subconsciously worried about many issues.
Also because Su Quan's strength is too strong, when he said he would accompany Lorna to turn the world upside down, everyone naturally raised the level of their destruction and the intensity of the subsequent retaliation.
You have to know that since the establishment of the mutant underground, they have always followed the "way of the coward," always doing things low-key. Suddenly having to confront the Sentinel Services head-on and facing their crazy retaliation, it's inevitable that there would be many worries in their hearts.
And the most important point.
Although Su Quan hasn't officially joined the mutant underground, his actions have already made them treat him as a member of the organization, which is why Sage had so many considerations and asked so many questions when he proposed the method.
Otherwise, no matter what Su Quan did, it would be an individual action, and they wouldn't subconsciously consider whether it would affect the organization.
To put it bluntly, they have already treated Su Quan as one of their own. If Su Quan wants to have a say and wants to lead them, just being strong isn't enough; he needs solid achievements!
Without achievements, how can you be a leader? How can you convince people?
