Chapter 174: Outside the plate
The third game begins, Yagami versus Yagami.
Everyone has no sense of expectation anymore.
Jin Zhenghui finally couldn't bear it any longer, stood up, raised his hands with a sad face, and said: "I abstain, I won't fight!"
The referee was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed. In fact, since the start of the game, no matter how different the strength of the two sides is, no one has voluntarily abstained from the game in the middle of the game.
It seems that Lu Menglin really stimulated the Son of the Korean Sun this time. He has completely lost his fighting spirit. If he continues to fight, he will probably become mentally ill.
"Oh! It's okay, I'm just playing for fun." Lu Menglin didn't pay attention to his opponent's surrender. Instead, he controlled Iori with one hand and flew forward. He connected the opponent to a dazed state, and then while exploding, he let out
Incomparably cruel super kill!
Without any grace at all, Lu Menglin's Yashen tore apart his opponent mercilessly, but no one present felt anything was wrong.
In the face of true strength, all weak people will tremble!
There is no need to be hypocritical, because being strong is what it means to be strong!
"You don't have to have unlimited connections, I can still hit you!" After the game, Lu Menglin muttered this casually as he stood up.
The whole place was silent, and everyone heard the big devil's words clearly. Is this a protest?
The Menglin team from China easily eliminated the South Korean Golden Sun team in a one-on-three matchup.
Perhaps the battle just now was so shocking that the other semi-final seemed a bit boring.
The American Golden Arches team narrowly defeated the German Blue Moon team and qualified to compete with the Chinese Menglin team for first place in the loser group.
However, the American Golden Arches team did not feel happy at all. After a brief discussion, they came to Lu Menglin.
"Dear Mr. Lu Menglin, China and the United States have a long history of friendship. Our Golden Arches team unanimously believes that you are a well-deserved King of Fighters. With our current strength, we are not qualified to challenge you, so we decided to give up the competition and hope that we can compete in the future.
This is an opportunity to have a friendly discussion with you and your team."
When Captain America said these words in a very sincere tone in public, many players present expressed their understanding.
This is not nonsense! Who wants to fight with an opponent who can't win at all, and who can humiliate you with one hand!
This is no longer a question of courage. Haven't you seen that poor Son of the Sun, and he still hasn't recovered yet?
Now that the Americans have given up, the single champion of the King of Fighters area of this EOV competition will be between the Chinese Menglin team and the Japanese Dark Moon Sakura team.
For a time, many people present cast sympathetic eyes on Hengdao Xiaoshu.
Hengdao Xiaoshu's expression was finally no longer as calm as before. His face looked slightly red, which was due to the flush after concentrating for too long.
In the sea of people, the two masters looked at each other from a distance.
Suddenly, the crowd around him became quiet.
At this time, although the final will be held in two days, Xiaoshu Yokoshima must say something.
"Lu Menglin, you used your psychological tactics well! But I won't be fooled. I will try my best to defeat you!" Hengdao Xiaoshu's voice was a bit high-pitched, but to the ears of others, it sounded like a hoarse and weak voice.
What about feelings?
Hengdao Xiaoshu regarded Lu Menglin's victory just now as a victory of psychological tactics. He did not admit that Lu Menglin's true strength as the King of Fighters surpassed his own.
This is an explanation that does not sound convincing, very forced, and very idealistic.
Maybe this is a typical Japanese cultural way of thinking!
They worship the strong, but never give up, refuse to admit that their skills are inferior to others, and attribute the cause of failure to mental learning. Once they learn skills, they will immediately backfire.
"Oh, then do you know what I'm thinking?" Lu Menglin asked with a half-smile on his face.
Yokoshima Koshu didn't speak, and Hojo Tadao who stood next to him also didn't speak. Both of them stared at the boy opposite.
"I'm thinking, what's the more interesting way to kill you? With all due respect, at your level, I can probably win with my feet!" Lu Menglin said with a smile.
The whole place was in an uproar at first, and then burst into laughter.
Although everyone does not believe that the terrifying demon king Lu Menglin can really beat the King of Fighters with his feet, and can even beat others, but as long as you think of him playing the game with his feet, it is really very graphic!
"You want to humiliate me? No! You want to shake my will to win! You devil, I will definitely defeat you!"
Hengdao Xiaoshu looked a little flustered. He seemed to think of the scene of someone playing games with his feet and shouted hurriedly.
"Forget it, I'll let you dance around for two more days, waiting to be toyed with by me!" Lu Menglin said unceremoniously.
Everyone present could see that this fast-talking king was not just a good talker. When he became arrogant, he was truly arrogant, and no one could match him.
At night, in the executive suite on the top floor of the MGM Grand Hotel.
The beautiful marble bathtub has been filled with hot water, and the soft light illuminates the living room as bright as day.
Such a pleasant and comfortable room environment, but no one is in the mood to enjoy it.
In the center of the living room, there is a game console, connected to two joystick consoles, and in front of it is a large-screen color TV. The replay of The King of Fighters 97 is playing on the TV screen.
This whole set of equipment is almost the same as the competition equipment used in the EOV competition during the day. However, the members of the Japanese Dark Moon Sakura team sitting in front of the equipment have their brows furrowed and seem to be trapped in an unsolvable cycle.
.
Hengdao Xiaoshu closed his eyes and carefully recalled the scenes during the day. Whenever he thought of the monster who could defeat Jin Zhenghui with only one hand, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness deep in his heart.
Every detail of that monster's operation seemed to be impeccable and almost perfect. What was even more frightening was that his prediction of the enemy was as clear as a finger, as if he had a God's perspective.
Such an opponent is almost invincible! How can we defeat him?
Not only Hengdao Xiaoshu, but all the Dark Moon Sakura team members were in deep thought.
Just at this moment, the doorbell of the hotel room rang.
Who is it? Interfering with their practice at this time? Hengdao Xiaoshu was interrupted in his train of thought. He opened his eyes and glared with dissatisfaction. Immediately, a team member came forward and opened the door.
Walking in from the door was the big sponsor of Dark Moon Sakura Team, the big businessman Tadao Hojo from Miura Co., Ltd.
Behind Tadao Hojo, there was also a tall, thin man with a haggard face, named Cheng
The dragon guy is said to be the King of Fighters master recruited by Tadao Hojo from China.
Tadao Hojo strode into the room and glanced across the entire venue. He saw the Dark Moon Sakura players sitting around the game console, and also saw the scene of the daytime game being replayed on the TV screen.
"Yokoshima-kun, are you sure about the decisive battle in two days?" Tadao Hojo asked in a deep voice.
Hengdao Xiaoshu was shocked, and immediately bowed and saluted: "Mr. Hojo, we are discussing countermeasures. Hengdao Xiaoshu will definitely use all his strength to fight to the death."
"Fight to the death? Does that mean you are not sure?" Hojo Tadao frowned. Although this answer was expected, he was still not satisfied.
"Yes! I'm not sure, but I will try my best to fight!" Hengdao Xiaoshu suddenly lowered his head and shouted loudly.
"We will fight with all our strength!" Other members of the Dark Moon Sakura Team also shouted at the same time.
"Very good! Your fighting spirit is commendable! However, you are still not sure! Isn't it?" Tadao Hojo shouted with anger on his face.
After watching the game during the day and seeing how powerful Lu Menglin was at beating his opponent with one hand, who is still sure of winning? This is almost something everyone knows.
The only one who can still persevere and muster the courage to fight is a stubborn opponent like Hengdao Xiaoshu.
Hengdao Xiaoshu was speechless. Although he wanted to shout that he would win, he knew very well that if he faced the big devil with no flaws, he would almost certainly lose.
"It seems I can't count on you. I will personally arrange to deal with that guy. You don't have to worry. You can just perform normally. In addition, based on your poor performance, I will report to my superiors and reduce your sponsorship amount by 100%."
Fifty points, no objection, right?" Hojo Tadao said with an indifferent expression.
Hearing these words, the members of the Dark Moon Sakura team present were shocked, and for a moment it seemed as if a large shadow covered their hearts.
Hengdao Xiaoshu raised his head with shock on his face and said in astonishment: "Are you going to hurt him? This is not fair! He is a genius and should not suffer such an end."
Every move and every detail of Lu Menglin's one-handed fight against the King of Fighters has been firmly remembered by Hengdao Xiaoshu.
The boy who is the number one boxing king in Japan has obviously regarded Lu Menglin as his lifelong enemy, even his lifelong enemy.
He admits that he is not as good as the opponent for the time being, but he believes that as long as he continues to practice hard, it may not be impossible to defeat the opponent. If it doesn't work this year, then next year, and if it doesn't work next year, then the year after that!
However, Yokoshima Xiaoshu will never tolerate his opponent being defeated due to factors outside the game. What is the use of a victory obtained by shameless means?
"This is a decision made by the company's top management! You represent the spirit of Japan and the strength of the birthplace of The King of Fighters. You cannot accept defeat!" Tadao Hojo shouted sternly.
Hengdao Xiaoshu's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, he waved his hands angrily and shouted: "That won't work! I would rather lose than accept such a shameless victory! The world of game fighting should be fair.
of!"
Before he finished speaking, Tadao Hojo narrowed his eyes, tilted his head, and winked at Cheng Long beside him.
Cheng Long grinned and sneered, strode forward, picked up the ashtray on the table, raised his hand and smashed the ashtray on Hengdao Xiaoshu's forehead.
Chapter completed!
