Chapter 246: Evil guests come to the door
On the fifth day of entering the mission world, at dusk, at the residence of [Imperial Youth Fang Yi].

After Izo knocked on the door several times roughly but did not get the expected response.

Dr. Shishang standing by showed no impatience on his face. Instead, the slight gloom on his face gradually faded away, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more uncontrollable.

This mad scientist, dressed in a white coat and looking like a researcher, had a slightly distorted and hideous smile on his face, giving people a sense of unease.

His nimble hands kept stroking, like a cat that caught a mouse and was interested in playing with it. He played with the [Imperial Tool] [God's Hand·Perfect] in his hand, and touched his nose, activating the extraordinary sense of smell after his body was transformed.

His action was precisely to prepare to quickly complete the evidence collection work expected today in a few seconds.

Dr. Fashion stared at the closed door and the empty mansion, and he had never felt that his plan was going so smoothly.

He became somewhat complacent and boasted about himself in his heart.

"As expected, my Dr. Fashion's intelligence is beyond the reach of others. The [Minister] is not as good as me because I am the only one who caught the other party's 'flaw'.

"I was right to choose today to launch the 'raid'. Fang Yi is not here just as I expected.

"Today, if I can break into his residence without asking for permission later and get his personal belongings that smell like him, then as long as he can't fly, I can follow the clues and find out where he's been for the past three days, and gather evidence that he's a 'traitor'.

"Then reveal his true identity to the [Minister]. Once his identity is exposed and confirmed, the [Minister] will not only forgive my disrespectful behavior, but will also reward me."

After imagining the rewards he would get after capturing Fang Yi, and completing this warm-up exercise, he looked at Yi Zang, whose power was growing stronger and stronger beside him, and raised his head slightly to signal this powerful warrior to prepare to force a breakthrough.

Seeing Izo taking a few steps back and preparing to draw his sword, Dr. Fashion began to think about his next strategy.

"This is not a superfluous matter. 'Betrayal' is what the Minister hates most.

"Catching 'traitors' is the duty of everyone in the [Minister's Camp].

"After I catch Fang Yi's flaw, that idiot Xila will be able to gain the [Minister's] mercy and continue to come out and privately supply me with human bodies so that I can conduct some transformation experiments that the [Minister] doesn't allow."

The mad scientist looked at the closed house, recalling Fang Yi's description of the "eyes" in his army of cyborgs, as if he was looking at a gold mine that could make him rich.

As for the news about this "gold mine", it was this morning that Yi Zang, the person sent by Xila in the past, came to contact him and discussed with him how to rescue Xila.

Dr. Fashion analyzed the information he collected while talking with the [Minister].
-
It is a fact that Sheela is an arrogant fool.

The other person is also the type of person Dr. Fashion hates the most.

But it did not affect Dr. Fashion. This morning, he took the initiative to find the [Minister] for a meeting under the pretext of developing an antidote for the addictive drug that Fang Yi took, and tried to collect some information from the [Minister] to rescue this idiot.

Because Sheila, a fool in Dr. Fashion's eyes, was able to cover up some of his actions under the pretext of arson, murder, rape and looting, and to provide him with living bodies for a long time and continuously for use in some experiments that the [Ministers] believed had no benefits and therefore did not approve of or allow him to conduct.

Dr. Fashion looked at the house as if he was looking at Fang Yi's grave.

At this moment, the sense of superiority of his intelligence was unparalleled.

[Your lie about taking so-called 'drugs' may fool others, but it can't fool me, the developer of the drug.]

After the [Minister] said that the man named Fang Yi used his medicine after being seriously injured and recovered quickly without any sequelae.

Dr. Fashion understood that the other party's previous claim about taking the "addictive drug" he developed was a complete lie.

The drug he developed for rapid recovery from human injuries conflicts with the addictive drug used to control the chess pieces.

Taking the two drugs at the same time within a week may cause severe side effects.

The other party had taken [addictive drugs] right under Gozizi's nose a few days ago.

If two drugs are taken one after another at this time interval, the sequelae will be most severe.

Considering his experience of escaping death several times at the hands of the Shinsengumi, and the new abilities he gained after the transformation with the Imperial Tool, he was able to collect the remaining information after "eating" the two cyborgs who died in the encirclement and suppression battle of the Mist Death God.

All of the above information almost explicitly indicates the identity of this young man to the thoughtful Dr. Fashion.

Dr. Shi Shang looked at the closed door and said the answer to Fang Yi's identity in his heart.

"I don't know how you managed to trick Gozizi, but if it's true, you're a member of the Revolutionary Army."

[Not just ordinary revolutionary soldiers, there could also be traitors planted by the Shinsengumi within the Minister's camp.]

To deal with such a "traitor" with outstanding psychological quality and intelligence, Dr. Fashion chose the simplest and most reliable method.

Break the situation with force.

At this moment, the warrior named Izo beside him was the "violence" he could obtain in the short term, enough to break any plan of the other party.

[Fang Yi, Fang Yi, you may be thoughtful, but you lack the most important thing to gain the right to speak—strength.]

[You've only learned 'Shi' for a day, there's no way you can be a match for this Izang.]

"Now that the imperial capital is in a state of panic, those members of the Shinsengumi dare not commit crimes in broad daylight. I will act as your umbrella. If I can get in and catch you, then..."

After thinking about his own plan, Dr. Shishang felt that Fang Yi should have only the ending he had planned for today.

Because the Izang he brought with him was a warrior whose "momentum" had reached the same level as Zhu Tian.

*
Dr. Fashion glanced at Izang beside him, feeling the somewhat vain "momentum" of "familiarity" that emerged from the other party after he drew his sword, and couldn't help but sigh again at Sheila's bad luck.

[How could this fool, Sheila, find such a master in the West Country and have him follow her without hesitation?]

Izo, a samurai who loves to kill people and sacrifice blood for his sword, was recruited from the Western Country by the fool Sheila.

The opponent's only goal is to keep killing people, and then use the enemy's blood to sacrifice the famous sword in his hand named [Jiang Xue], so that both the sword and himself will continue to become stronger.

Such a warrior naturally got along well with Sheila, who liked to burn, kill, rape and plunder on a daily basis, or they had similar tastes.

The two hit it off immediately, and a one-threaded samurai and an arrogant idiot reached a long-term cooperation agreement.

Although Dr. Fashion doesn't like people who are not smart enough and hates the warrior's single-threaded thinking mode, he doesn't hate the warrior's strength.

Although he didn't know much about the realm of warriors and the thing called "momentum", he was still clear about Zhu Tian's ranking in the [Minister Camp].

The other party has the same "momentum" as Zhu Tian said, which is "familiar with it" as him.

Although he didn't understand what Zhu Tian meant when he said, "Your 'power' is rather strange. It seems to be relying on external objects and unorthodox methods, not the right path," Dr. Shi Shang felt that he was more than capable of dealing with Fang Yi. He watched Yi Zang, who grasped the hilt of his sword, ready to unleash his blade to crush the door, and he had never felt so confident.

[This knife is more than enough to break down a door, investigate a case, and arrest someone.]

The next moment, a somewhat indifferent voice exploded into the ears of the two.

"Uninvited guests are not welcome here."

A man holding a dagger in one hand and a gun in the other, wearing a leather jacket and a red scarf, appeared behind the door, staring at Dr. Fashion and Izo in a fighting stance.

It was Disma who had been guarding all night but failed to catch the enemy, and was feeling itchy and impatient.
-
Looking at Disma, who exuded an extraordinary aura in his perception, the warrior just smiled indifferently and gave a strong response.

"Then let's see which is faster, my knife or your bullet. Let me make it clear first."

Before he finished speaking, the warrior heard the roar of a flintlock rifle and the somewhat indifferent voice of the robber.

"The dead don't need to talk so much."

Looking at Disma, whose body was covered in smoke after the bullets were fired, and the several strange silver bullets shot towards himself and Dr. Fashion.

Izang's eyes lit up, but he didn't draw his knife immediately. Instead, he waited until the bullet was about to hit him and Dr. Fashion, then he swung the knife in his hand slowly and showily.

At the same time, they evaluated each other's skills.

"You are not bad at all, and you are worthy of being 'eaten' by [Jiang Xue].

"So I will let you please Jiang Xue first, and then kill you."

The samurai did not choose to release the sword energy to break the situation, nor did he choose to immediately release the "momentum" to suppress the robber.

Instead, he chose a very ordinary, even somewhat presumptuous, swing of the sword.

In other words, all the warrior did was to focus his eyes, then swung the long sword in his hand, allowing the blade to draw a simple and somewhat plain silver-white graceful arc in the air.

However, the warrior's ordinary attack had an unexpected result that left Dr. Fashion dumbfounded as she was trying to dodge the bullet.

*
Accompanied by several sharp sounds, Disma's bullets, which exuded deadly aura and were shot at tricky angles, were accurately intercepted by the warriors who attacked later, without missing a single one.

The bullets fired by the robbers with the intention of hitting the target only achieved a few collisions with the samurai's sword, which produced a few faint sparks, and then nothing happened.

The warrior who blocked the bullet tilted his head and said to Dr. Fashion beside him with some sarcasm.

"Mr. Fashion, you don't have to act so ridiculous.

"With me here, there's no need to dodge enemy attacks. I can defeat them quickly."

The warrior's words were interrupted by the murderous words behind the smoke.

"The battle isn't over yet, warrior!"

Disma's attack obviously did not end with the warrior's sword. The opponent's dazzling swordsmanship did not intimidate him, but instead made the robber more determined to defeat the enemy.

"Your swordsmanship is indeed not bad, and your strength is quite strong, but in my opinion, compared to Fang Yi's swordsmanship, it is as insignificant and ridiculous as the stars competing with the bright moon."

"Why bother Fang Yi with such an enemy? It's better to use him as a 'grindstone' to accelerate the birth of my 'momentum' and sharpen me."

The robber withdrew his thoughts and looked at the two of them with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

At this moment, he decided not to hold back like he did in previous battles, but to use all his strength.

The determined robber took a deep breath and activated his talent [Eliminate All Evil].

While taking out the temporary attribute enhancement, he pulled the trigger again, urging the flintlock in his hand to shoot several bullets at Yi Zang and Dr. Shi Shang at tricky angles.

Before the warrior could swing his sword to block, the robber kicked the door open, exerted his body at full speed, and rushed towards the two men with unprecedented explosive power.

The dagger in his hand, which looked worn out, now showed an unprecedented sharpness. Following the robber's figure with the intention of taking his life, it turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Dr. Fashion.

*
Looking at the robber running towards him, Dr. Fashion, wearing the [Imperial Tool] [God's Hand·Perfect], touched his thighs with his hands, and then "activated" his transformed body with extraordinary performance like a machine.

The legs of this mad scientist expanded rapidly as the [Imperial Weapon] was activated. He then squatted slightly, stepped into a deep pit on the ground around his feet, and then moved his body to narrowly avoid the robber's attack. He successfully retreated behind the samurai, allowing the samurai's blade to deal with the robber's murderous dagger.

Looking at the robber running towards him along with the bullet and Dr. Fashion retreating behind him, the warrior said nothing more but snorted coldly and made his own response.

He changed his arrogant way of holding the knife with one hand and quickly switched to holding the knife with both hands.

The warrior's arm swelled and his wrist shook, and the knife named "Jiang Xue" began to fly in his hand.

It was clearly an extremely hard, cold-gleaming long sword, but under the samurai's skills, it turned into a ball of water that could be swung freely and in various forms, completely neutralizing the bullets and attacks of the robbers.

Looking at the robbers so close, he felt that the enemy's attack was getting more and more fierce, and it was becoming more and more difficult for him to block it.

The warrior was shocked. While he admired the enemy's strength, a hint of mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"If I fight like this normally, I might actually lose after a few rounds, but I haven't used 'momentum' yet."

Looking at the robber whose chest was rising and falling and whose aura was becoming more and more intimidating.

Izo snorted, deciding it was time to end this fight.

[Don't kill him yet. It's better to sever his tendons and veins precisely to disable him and make interrogation easier.]

The warrior moved his mind and held [Jiang Xue] firmly with both hands, and a "momentum" exuding the intention of fishing alone in Jiang Xue was also urged.

Looking at the bandit who was powerless to resist under the influence of the "momentum", the warrior moved his body, transformed into a predatory falcon, and swung his long sword towards the bandit.

His steps were light, and his swordsmanship was ordinary yet carried an unstoppable force.

The warrior who swung the sword said to the robber proudly, "Watch my sword strike carefully."
-
Before the warrior finished speaking, he heard the words of an eye for an eye.

"You should also watch my knife carefully."

It was Fang Yi and his knife who were woken up.
