Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 236 Night Attack
Wang Xia hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"What did you do with the body?" Mu Xiang asked Zheng Zha.

Zheng Zha was taken aback: "Huh? It's on his bed."

"Burn it, don't leave any trace," Mu Xiang said calmly. "If his body is found, this hotel won't be a safe place to stay... A hasty transfer could lead to more accidents along the way."

Zheng Zha's face darkened, but he eventually nodded, pushed open the door, and walked out.

"Do I look like a villain?" Mu Xiang shrugged and smiled at Wang Xia.

Seeing that Wang Xia did not react, Mu Xiang stared straight at him.

Wang Xia then gave a wry smile: "Perhaps that's true for other newcomers as well."

“That’s how the cycle of reincarnation works… You’re in the special forces, right? Any threats outside your own team must be eliminated with even more decisive methods than when you’re on a mission,” Mu Xiang said, spreading his hands. “If it were Chu Xuan, he would have done it even more efficiently than I have.”

Wang Xia fell silent, knowing that Mu Xiang was trying to change his mindset.

“After that, Zheng Zha and I won’t be able to protect you all the time… At that time, you will be the protector of this team, and this is the best course of action in this situation.” Mu Xiang gestured to his neck. “Even if it’s from within the team, we must take decisive action. Uh, just think of it as rescuing hostages.”

Wang Xia nodded.

"What do you know about Chu Xuan? Since we'll be partners from now on, why don't we chat? You can talk about Chu Xuan, or about yourselves. I'll also tell you about the style of our Zhongzhou team." Mu Xiang smiled.

When Zheng Zha returned, his expression had calmed down: "I also checked the other people's rooms, and they are all fine."

"Let's chat for a bit, then rest." Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses and tore open a packet of lemon candies on the table.

Zheng Zha's eyes became blank. He reached over and took a few grains, which he ate with relish.

At midnight, Wang Xia had already rested at the request of Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha. He stood in his dormant power armor and fell asleep.

Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha stood by the window, looking at the night view outside, and talking in hushed tones.

"What abilities do you think Zhang Jie has?" Zheng Zha asked, frowning. He was still in a mental simulation state, and before confronting Mu Xiang, he needed to build up his own thought process. Although he couldn't guarantee he would understand it at all times, as long as he could understand it when unlocking the third-order gene lock, it would be much easier afterward.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "It's obvious that this is the ability of a standard mental controller... The rest hasn't been demonstrated yet. Whether it's mind control, telepathy, or his hints, they are all abilities of a mental controller."

"Especially that hint. The main god has a skill called Eye of Hint, which is an expensive skill and much more effective than Zhan Lan's mental control of monsters... After all, Zhan Lan doesn't have a real means of mind control yet. When facing Tyrant and Tracker, she can only crush them with her mental power."

Zheng Zha asked in confusion, "That's what I'm also curious about... Zhan Lan's mental strength is already very strong, so why was she also controlled by Zhang Jie?"

“Did you forget what Zhan Lan mentioned before about the numerical crushing effect brought about by the difference in rank? With her mental power, she would be unstoppable even in the first or second rank of the gene lock, but against us, let alone control, even an attack would suffer a severe backlash.” Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. “And we don’t even cultivate mental power.” Zheng Zha pondered for a moment: “So, Zhang Jie is a high-level mental power controller?”

“It’s necessary to think that way.” Mu Xiang nodded. “Whether it’s the crushing defeat of Zhan Lan, or his hints about us… it all proves this point, doesn’t it? We’re already at the third-tier gene lock level, and our combat power is comparable to that of a fourth-tier transcendent being, yet he’s confident he can influence us…”

Zheng Zha sighed: "So he is very likely a fourth-order mental power controller with a higher level than us."

Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha analyzed the situation without any reservations, even if Zhang Jie could scan it, it didn't matter... because judging from the current situation, Zhang Jie had no chance of winning.

Perhaps he could defeat them one by one, but after setting these rules, he wouldn't have the luxury of defeating Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha. This was what Zheng Zha found most puzzling; he thought of Mu Xiang's warning from long ago... Could Zhang Jie's predicament really lead this man to his death?
Just then, Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha both looked out the window at a certain spot.

A figure appeared outside the window at some point, standing on a flying shuttle, with five other hovering shuttles behind him.

"Zhang Heng," Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha whispered at the same time.

The next moment, six blinding laser beams erupted, blasting straight towards the floor-to-ceiling window. The balcony was instantly annihilated, and the six laser beams reached the two people directly.

Zheng Zha snapped his fingers, and a dark red wall of fire appeared out of thin air, blocking all six laser beams.

"Hold on for a bit, don't let Wang Xia get hurt." Mu Xiang patted Zheng Zha, then instantly appeared beside Wang Xia, waking him up. The next moment, Mu Xiang reappeared outside the wall of fire, taking a single step to reach the telekinetic floating cannon.

Three floating cannons, gleaming with telekinetic light, slammed into Mu Xiang. If Mu Xiang possessed microscopic abilities, he could easily shatter this attack, which was capable of dealing with a third-tier physical body... but Mu Xiang did not.

However, he had plenty of strength, and with a roar, he unleashed countless punches. He didn't even need to use the power of the ripples; the three floating cannons were smashed into countless pieces.

"You may pose some threat to me, but that's when you're wearing a mask," Mu Xiang grinned maliciously. "But I've already kept your mask safe!"

The next moment, Mu Xiang reached out and grabbed Zhang Heng. Even at this moment, all the floating cannons were still spinning rapidly, aiming at Mu Xiang. Only when Zhang Heng was held in front of Mu Xiang and entered gene-locked mode did he realize that it was impossible to continue the attack and temporarily abandoned it.

With a slight exertion, Mu Xiang caused Zhang Heng to groan and faint. The six floating cannons, now out of his control, plummeted downwards. Mu Xiang swiftly gathered all the floating cannons in his arms and flew towards the room.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to stay at this hotel," Mu Xiang said with a wry smile. "They have no restrictions; they really have no scruples."

Zheng Zha put away the fire wall and shrugged helplessly: "Then let's head to the next place you've prepared?"

Just then, a low groan came through the earphones; it was Huang Lilin's voice!

Upon waking, Wang Xia abruptly turned to look at Mu Xiang, and Zheng Zha's expression also changed. He rushed out of his room.
