Chapter 688 Assassins are nerds
Lenny's words rang true in Agent 'X' head.
And then he could not help but play back what he had seen lenny do with relation to the knowledge he knew.
Even though he had accused lenny earlier on, of abandoning things that he knew from his first world, this was obviously not the case.
Firstly, liquid nitrogen is practically an unholy place. It was the extreme of cold just like how liquid fire, 'lava' was the extremity of fire.
This meant that liquid nitrogen was every bit as dangerous as lava.
However, its capabilities unlike fire was not in the consumption, but rather, petrification of the body.
but that was on the condition that a body was was placed into it. but it gets better than that.
The human body is warm blooded and?not cold bolded.
The Leidenfrost effect is a physical phenomenon in which a liquid, close to a surface that is significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point produces an insulating vapor layer that keeps the liquid from boiling rapidly.
Because this repulsive force, the droplet of the substance would hover on the surface rather than make physical contact.
The boiling point of the liquid nitrogen is -196 degrees celcius.?This meant that the human body was naturally hotter than this.
Of course, that alone was not the only reason. If Lenny had been placed into the liquid nitrogen, the Leidenfrost effect would have easily been overcome by the liquid nitrogen.
But that's the thing. lenny had requested from the beginning that he was not submerged in the liquid but rather, have the liquid poured on him.
The Leidenfrost effect happens in nano seconds or rather within a second.
An more than that and the freezing ability of the Nitrogen would instantaneously kick in and the person would definitely die.
Lenny had to admit that it had been a while since he was faced with such a situation that required him to use the muscle of his head, but just to be sure that the leidenfrost effect worked to the maximum, he had even used his own fresh out blood from his body, allowing it to shower om him from his cut off hand.
After all, the blood would be far warmer, and that was on the condition that it was not enough.
Lenny gave a side smile at Agent 'X', "It would seem like you are not so dumb."
Agent 'X' nodded his head in acknowledgement of Lenny's skills. Yet again, Lenny had shown that it was not just his killing skills that made him a very dangerous man but it was his ability to be able to use his environment and even his own blood to secure his life.
Any other person would have become an ice sculpture by now. But once again, lenny had proven why he was Lenny tales.
Agent 'X' suddenly entered a chuckle. "no wonder...." he muttered to himself, "...no wonder he choose you!"
Lenny had caught those words and his curiosity was peaked. However, he had to step aside for now, for Agent 'X' to come and spin the wheel.
The Magistri waved his hand and the ground instantly was cleared of the liquid nitrogen.
Lenny nodded as he stepped aside and back to his seat.
Willing his muscles again, he blocked the leakage of blood in his arm. With confidence, lenny took the first step back to his seat. however, he suddenly lost control and staggered a bit.
"Shit!" he cursed internally, "I have lost significant amount of blood."
Lenny could practically feel the weakness of his body, but he still pushed on, moving forward as best as he could.
Finally, he made it to his seat.
Lenny knew that he was dying, and according to the embryonic soul of the Satan system, if he was to die in this illusioned world of the red sands, he would never be able to recover his mind.
lenny sat on the chair, his eyes low and dropping but he still had to keeping pushing.
After all, his opponent was Agent 'X' there was no wauy that agent 'x' was going to allow him win by default. Therefore, lenny knew that he had to keep his guard up.
Just then, Agent 'X' spun the wheel. Just like he had done before, taking note of the weight, and possible oscillations of the wheel. Agent 'X' had calculated the amount of energy needed and what was going to happen next would either determine if he would die or he would survive.
Lenny took a long look at the Wheel. There were only two points that would allow Agent 'X' get away with it. The first was to kiss a rotten dead person, and the second was a confession of the truth for ten whole minutes.
lenny already knew which one Agent'X' was going to pick. Immediately, the wheel was spun and it was about to stop, lenny moved, his fingers shooting a projectile so fast that no one could see it.
However, Agent 'X' suddenly smiled, "Got you!"?he moved with similar speed and agility, regardless of the pain that he felt from his lower side, and his hand immediately defended against the projectile that lenny threw at the wheel.
Lenny had been shot three times. This meant that they had been three empty shells on the ground. Lenny had picked them all.
He used the first when he spun the wheel the first time, and now, he was using the second. However, Agent 'X' had anticipated this and blocked in time.
Agent 'X' chuckled, "I knew it! You still had something up your..."
His words froze as he watched the Wheel slowly stop. This was not the point he intended for it to have stopped.
His face was frozen in shock as he turned to lenny. Clearly, he remembered defending against the shot that lenny fired.
And it was true, he did. However, if he did, how did lenny still influence the wheel and where it would stop?
