Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 534 I'm not a bad person

Su Jie fell silent.

Or rather, from the moment she saw the pistol hanging on Ai Liang's waist, she dared not speak.

Just as Su Jie was about to use Du Wei's body as cover to secretly call the police, Du Wei seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and grabbed her wrist.

"Don't do anything stupid."

Dewey's tone took on a hint of hostility, lacking the calmness he displayed at work.

Such a drastic change greatly frightened Su Jie.

Her mind started to wander.

Was Dewey a member of some underground organization? Or perhaps a secret assassin?
That explains why he's so skilled... Wait! If I eavesdrop on their conversation here, will I be silenced?!
Su Jie finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

There's probably, maybe, possibly a little bit of a problem with Dewey's background.

Having missed the best opportunity to take a stand and realizing her predicament, she now dares not act rashly.

It's like someone camping in the wild and feeling an animal licking their scalp in the middle of the night.

It's fine if you don't realize it, but when you groggily open your eyes and see a pack of wolves surrounding you, would you dare to move?

Dewey was one of the experimental defectors and one of the few combatants.

He was originally the captain of the laboratory's emergency response team.

The position of a gatekeeper or security guard may not seem very high, but it depends on the situation.

As the emergency response team responsible for the security of Project DX, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are the most elite of the Hai Xin Society's inner circle.

Logically speaking, Dewey should be classified as one of those people who would never defect.

However, during the experimental accident at Haixin Society back then, the curse on these defectors was lifted.

To be precise, it was the controller of the curse within them that transformed from the strange entity called the curse into DX818A.

The breaking of the curse, which is the foundation of the Sea Heart Society, would be its biggest Achilles' heel.

The Hai Xin Society was never a monolithic entity. If the prisoners knew there was a way to break free from the curse, the Hai Xin Society would definitely fall apart.

No matter how loyal those involved in this accident are, the Haixin Society will not allow those who can break free of the curse to live, and will even erase their information.

Dewey was no exception.

Why has the search for the DX818A continued for so many years, with people still accepting the task every month?

Besides searching for the DX818A, they were also tasked with eliminating witnesses.

Dewey raised his hands to his shoulders: "I can tell you where the others are, but only if you agree to let me return to the organization."

You've probably seen my profile, right? I was originally loyal to the Haixin Society, but I was forced to defect because I was bound by a curse.

I know you don't understand what I'm saying, but I can explain it slowly.

Clearly, Dewey mistook Ai Liang for a member of the Haixin Society's hunting squad.

And he attempted to numb Ai Liang with words.

Dewey verbally claimed he was going to betray his companions, but in reality, he was secretly mobilizing the power of the strange creature.

It was clear that their plan was to appease Ai Liang first, and then find an opportunity to strike her dead.

The curse can not only defend against mental attacks, but also conceal the mobilization of strange forces within the body.

The curse within the defector, after breaking free from the control of the Sea Heart Society, made the Sea Heart Society members fully realize just how disgusting the curse was in the eyes of the enemy.

It's impossible for Haixin Society to send a force of the level of Fusion Warriors to Asia Alliance to hunt them down.

Chuck Battier's level of supernatural abilities is already the limit.

Despite the surprise attack, Dewey believed he still had a chance of winning.

Unfortunately, he chose the wrong person.

"I am neither a member of the Haixin Society nor a member of the Countermeasures Bureau."

Ai Liang finally spoke: "At the same time, I'm not interested in you either. I just want to find one of you."

Not a member of the Haixin Society?
A hint of surprise flashed in Dewey's eyes.

But upon hearing the next sentence, his face instantly darkened.

Dewey, his face grim, gritted his teeth and asked, "What did you do to Zhu Lan?!"

Although Su Jie, who was hiding behind Dewey, didn't understand what the curse or the Sea Heart Society was even after listening for a long time, she still gained a general understanding of Dewey's background.

Dewey's tone just now, in particular, made her imagine a whole story.

Zhu Lan? It sounds like a woman's name.

Could it be that the kind of story in movies where an assassin betrays his organization for love happened to Dewey?
“I told you I’m just looking for someone, I won’t do anything to you.”

Ai Liang said calmly, "I just happened to find out your location when Zhu Lan contacted you. As for Zhu Lan, I haven't even met her."

"How do you prove it?"

Dewey took a step forward with his left foot, seemingly trying to overwhelm Ai Liang with his imposing presence.

Ai Liang pulled a disposable cell phone out of her pocket: "Why don't you just make a call and ask? Don't worry about leaking anything."

I even know her name, so I can't possibly not know where she is.

Dewey remained silent and quietly reached out his hand towards the phone that Ai Liang handed him.

boom!
Dewey stepped forward with his right foot and threw a jab as he raised his left arm, which was shrouded in black mist.

The fist, whistling through the air, hurtled straight for Ai Liang's throat.

For some of the supernatural beings who have been bizarrely modified, many of the fatal weaknesses that only humans possess have completely disappeared from them.

Even if their heart is crushed, they can still survive thanks to some strange power, waiting for emergency treatment.

The best way to deal with them is to hit them on the head, just like you would with zombies in a movie.

Even if you don't die immediately, without a brain to give instructions to the nerves to control the strange creature and cause it to go berserk, it's no different from being dead.

That was exactly what Dewey was planning.

Even if this punch fails to kill Ai Liang, the out-of-control monster will still give him a run for his money.

pat.

Dewey's arm seemed to be gripped by something unseen, stopping thirty centimeters from Ai Liang's throat, unable to move an inch further.

"Varied……"

Bang!

Before Dewey could even cry out in surprise, Ai Liang used her telekinesis to wrap him up and slam him into a nearby trash can.

The trash can, which was fixed to the ground with screws and welding, was overturned along with the floor tiles by Dewey's impact.

If this happened to an ordinary person, it would probably be a comminuted fracture, the kind that would be so bad that they wouldn't even need to break the bones before being cremated.

But Dewey was unharmed; he rolled over, immediately stood up, and confronted Ai Liang from afar.

"Who exactly are you?" Dewey asked.

While questioning Su Jie, Dewey was also focusing on strengthening his legs, preparing to run away at any time.

Judging from the fact that the other party was able to easily block his full-force sneak attack and also possessed some kind of unseen attack method, the difference in strength between himself and this hooded man was extraordinary.

Insisting on going down a dead end is a sure path.

"You should have asked that question when we first met."

Ai Liang, with her back to Su Jie, took off her hood: "You can call me the Hermit, or you can call me the Throat-Slitter, whatever you like."
