Chapter 373 Surrender
A basic concept of fighting Beyonders is,

Don't touch anything you don't recognize or that looks wrong.

Although there were three people hiding in the black fog, there must be a way to stay inside without any harm.
But the detective agency will still not rashly approach or touch the black fog, but will mainly stay outside the black fog and wait for an opportunity to act.

The carriage stopped and started not far away. The black fog's target was obviously not the cash from selling lottery tickets in the carriage.
In a sense, the two sides had a tacit understanding, as if they both felt that they could destroy the other side here, and neither of them stopped nor retreated.

Keep tangling here.

So Wayne was happy to be chased by the other party.

After finding a relatively flat open area nearby, he rode his horse around in circles with the other person.

According to normal people's thinking, since the area covered by the black fog is almost a "circle", it would not be wrong to shoot in the direction of the "center of the circle".

Unfortunately, after the agents fired "bang bang bang bang" for a while, the black fog was still like a bulldozer, not fast but not stopping either, and it obviously did not cause any effective damage to the opponent.

to the opposite,

The black fog gradually revealed its more difficult side.

"boom!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

At least one of the other party was using a gun. He hid in the black fog and fired a shot from time to time, then quickly changed positions.
Since the enemy had long-range attack capabilities, the detectives could only fight a mobile war. The horses never stopped, and they had to make serpentine maneuvers or sudden turns from time to time.
The area covered by the black fog was at least as wide as a large classroom. Everyone followed the sound or fought back based on their senses, but it seemed all their attacks were in vain.

Moreover, the extraordinary person who had previously used the ability of the "invisible giant iron ball" was not idle either.

This guy has at least two extraordinary abilities.

The first one is as shown before. The principle is similar to burying bombs. After the arrangement is completed in the black fog, special lines will appear within a range of about ten yards in diameter with the "bomb" as the center.
Once "detonated", a "crop circle" can be directly pressed out on the grass.

The explosion range of this extraordinary ability is exactly the same as the black fog. If Wayne hadn't noticed it in advance, he would have turned into a dried persimmon by the time he got to the second circle.
We also need to remind everyone to avoid designated areas in time to avoid being accidentally hit.

The power of the second extraordinary ability is relatively small, but it also seems more flexible. It seems that as long as it is within a certain distance, it can be freely cast and can directly "pull down" people.
"Whale Oil" tried to follow Wayne's instructions and placed burning "grease" on the ground with the cover of the horse, marking the area that could not be stepped on within the range of the "bomb". Then he was directly hit by this move and almost hit his head on the grass.

"Everyone be careful! Don't get within ten yards of the black fog!"

It is not realistic to rely solely on marking to avoid "bombs".

Once there are too many marking points on the ground, and they are so densely packed, in the end no one will know which points to use to visually estimate the specific "explosion" range.

But for Wayne, this guy is the easiest to deal with.

Despite its considerable power, when he places the "bomb", the generated lines will just fill up a standard "circle", and even the diameter is almost the same.

Seeing the arc and knowing the radius, estimating the position of the center of the circle becomes very simple.
After the second shot, the other party let out an “ah——”

Then the agents went "bang bang bang bang" at the "ah" position, and nothing happened.

In the area where abnormalities had already occurred, the spiritual power seemed to begin to gradually dissipate.

"It seems like one has been taken care of! But we're still not sure who fired the shot!"

"Yo ho!"

"Roger that!"

The "airflow" tried to disperse the black fog, but unfortunately the wind was too weak and the black fog seemed so thick that it looked like a solid entity.
He can make the black fog deform slightly, roughly from a "round bun" to a "bun with a bite taken out of it", but the "bite" is not deep enough to expose the people inside.

It is not very effective to set fire with "whale oil" either, as the black fog seems to have a suppressive effect on the flames.
Although the changes in the fire inside could not be seen, after the black fog passed, all the flames were extinguished.

The abilities of "Swamp" and "Sharpen" are more useful in this situation.
The "swamp" could at least temporarily soften part of the ground. After Wayne led the black fog over, the people inside had to at least go around the "swamp", and then the range of the agents' blind shooting could be slightly smaller.
Unfortunately, the ability of "Swamp" can only work in one place at a time, and the larger the range, the lower the degree of softening. The maximum diameter is five yards, but that's almost the same as stepping on wet mud.

The "sharpened" extraordinary ability area can be a straight line, which can "expand" the ability range forward like a rolling carpet. The farther it goes, the thinner it becomes.
Any plant parts such as grass or leaves within the range of the ability can become relatively hard and sharp within a few seconds.

With the cooperation of the two of them, they felt they could barely block the movement range of the shooter inside while keeping a distance from the black fog.

Then, since the guns were not effective, the agents began to throw high explosives in.
Although the black fog would occasionally swing out "tentacles" or "whips" made of fog, they were far less distant than explosives could be thrown.

At the beginning, the scattered throwing effect was not good.

Under Wayne's instructions, the agents quickly changed their mode, counted down together according to the commands, and then threw high explosives at different places in the black fog at the same time.

"According to the position of the moon, it's 12 o'clock. I'll vote for 6 o'clock!" "Then I'll choose 12 o'clock!"

"I'll vote in the center!" X2
"Then I'll change!" X2
"'Oscillator' remains unchanged, 'Chameleon' you go to the 12 o'clock position!"

"Yes!"

The shouting and shouting of communication was somewhat orderly.

After the communication, the sound of the explosion changed from "bang!" to "bang——".

Wait,

Since there’s already “Chameleon,” does Liam have to change his nickname in the future?

Wayne thinks Liam is more of a chameleon...

Putting aside the minor incident,
After a round of explosions, the opponent obviously began to realize that something was wrong.

The black fog was no longer chasing Wayne, but instead showed signs of escaping.

Unfortunately, the black fog could not move as fast as the horse. Soon there was another round of explosions, and the black fog stopped where it was.

"The guy inside is injured!"

"Keep going, who's going to count down this time?"

"I'm out of explosives! Someone come by 9 o'clock!"

Wayne had tried various methods to deal with the black fog before.
The bullets tried to find the target but couldn't hit it, and the demon hunting bullets couldn't break through the fog.
Infusing a bullet or demon hunting bullet with spiritual power and then trying to "detonate" it doesn't seem to have any effect.

So Wayne had to resort to the stupid method.

Dodging the gunfire from the opposite side, he dismounted, grabbed a pile of stones, and then took the time to make them into "bombs".

Some of the "bombs" were also thrown in one after another, while the other part was thrown in the direction of the black fog in advance, waiting to give the other party a surprise in advance.

Then Wayne discovered that
My extraordinary ability is actually not good enough...

It is true that you can make many "bombs" and set them at any time within fifteen minutes, but the instructions for "remote control detonation" are universal.
Either you set the countdown timer one by one in advance, and then explode when the time is up.

Either they all "explode" at once, there is no way to specify which one to explode first.

Fortunately, the unexpected early detonation was not completely meaningless.

Wayne took a look at it and found that the "bomb" he made could actually temporarily create a "gap" in the black fog.
It’s just that it exploded in the black fog before and couldn’t be seen from the outside.

This makes it easier, "Everyone wait a moment, I'll detonate you first and then throw!"

"Aye!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Idiot, call BOSS!"

Wayne circled around the still black fog, made the "bomb" a little "bigger", and roughly threw out a dot matrix, trying to cut the range of the black fog first and reveal a part of the field of vision.
Then it’s done in one go.

"Bam—"

The explosion sound of the "bomb" made by Wayne is different from that of high explosives, and it always feels crisper.

After the black fog was torn open this time, it unexpectedly began to shrink rapidly, and soon gathered into a naked guy.
The posture is kneeling on the ground with his hands raised high, as if he is still spitting blood.

It doesn't matter if he shows up.
Then, the agents saw another guy who was almost a skeleton was "setting up a stall" or "drawing" on the ground with his own flesh and blood in an off-center position in the black fog. It looked like he was planning some big move.
So there was no need for a countdown, and a bunch of tubular objects with small flames flew over quickly from all directions.

"Bam—"

Well……

I think at least the "black fog" just now actually wanted to surrender...
