Girl, you form the head.

Chapter 71 May I have a taste?
Inside a parking lot in Linchuan District.

Sano was nervously reporting to headquarters.

"This is Sano from Special Team Three, currently in the parking lot of the Bolai Shopping Mall in Linchuan," Sano said in a low voice. "Three minutes ago, the criminal made the officers under his control disperse one last time, and now all the officers under his control are escaping individually. If I'm not mistaken, the officer fleeing towards Qingshui Road is Officer Li Lin, whose team code name is C2, while the officer I'm chasing is Zhuo Chuan, whose team code name is C1. Report complete."

After a brief static, a response came through the walkie-talkie: "Officer Sano, we have received your report and are dispatching officers to Shimizu Road. Please continue to follow and be careful."

Sano breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the reply from the headquarters.

When she saw the miserable state of Captain Jin Chen, she wished she could rush up and kill that bastard to avenge her colleagues.

Fortunately, they calmed down a lot after catching up.

After all, the enemy was someone that even the captain and the entire squad couldn't defeat. Wasn't she just throwing her life away by going it alone?
She was also the only one who knew the special information about that Gao Yang thug. If she were to be lost, the captain's sacrifice would have been in vain.

Therefore, Sano ultimately chose to cautiously track the suspect while reporting back to headquarters in real time. Through this operation, headquarters became fully aware of the thug's unusual behavior and intercepted two of his controlled servants, one of whom was a member of Team Three, thus preventing the disaster from escalating.

However, no one knows exactly how many servants that guy controls.

Based on the captain's previous description, Sano felt that the other party's special abilities were similar to those of Ito Kou, the fugitive who was killed half a month ago, both of whom controlled others.

However, Ito Kou could only control ordinary people without special abilities, but this thug Koyo could control those with special abilities and allow them to use their special abilities without restriction.

Such an enemy is truly terrifying. No wonder their special ability is called the Ominous Type. Sano felt a chill run down his spine just from hearing the description. Moreover, it seems that the guy's control over his servants has no distance limit. Judging from the location of the two servants that have been stopped so far, this far exceeds that of ordinary mental-type special ability users.

Will she also be secretly controlled later?

Thinking of this, Sano felt a sense of fear. But fortunately, her target was not the thug Gao Yang, but her colleague who was being controlled. As long as she kept following him and held out until other officers came to provide backup, she would have succeeded.

Sano took a deep breath to calm his nerves before chasing after them again.

Judging from the fact that she hasn't been discovered after following him for so long, the Gao Yang thug's counter-tracking ability isn't very strong. As long as she doesn't act recklessly, she should still be quite safe.

Unfortunately, that thought vanished the moment she stepped into the parking lot—in the empty space, her colleagues were silently watching her, their expressions like those of ghosts.

Sano's body stiffened instantly. She instinctively wanted to back away, but the other person spoke up: "I didn't expect to meet you here. Interesting."

Sano was taken aback, because the voice did not come from her colleague, but from a completely unfamiliar young man with a faint smile.

She immediately realized that this was the same thug from Gaoyang.

Damn it, did he see through my following all along and wait for me here all this time?
Sano panicked and immediately looked around.

Could it be that the real thing is also here, waiting to ambush me?
But why did that guy ambush me? Did he know about my special abilities and want to take me as his servant?
Before Sano could figure it out, the controlled Zhuo Chuan rushed towards her, opening his mouth wide and letting out an indescribable shriek.

A shock to the soul!

In an instant, Sano's special particles were interfered with, so he couldn't even use his special abilities for the first time. He could only draw his gun and aim it at Zhuo Chuan's head.

But looking at that familiar face, Sano hesitated for a moment. In that instant, Zhuo Chuan rushed in front of her, the dagger in his hand reflecting her crimson face.

Hmm... crimson?

Sano was taken aback.

The next second, a figure carrying a wave of heat swept past Sano's head like an arrow, delivering a swift flying kick that struck Zhuo Chuan precisely in the chest, sending him flying nearly ten meters away.

The one who made the move was naturally Bai Chi, who had already transformed into the Blazing Knight.

Zhuo Chuan, who had been kicked away, clutched his chest and slowly got up from the ground: "Interesting. You weren't affected by the special interference of this body. Even I couldn't completely avoid it. How did you manage to do it?"

Sano stared blankly at the incandescent light before him.

It was only then that she realized that the person the Gao Yang thug was trying to ambush was not her, but this nameless knight!

Unexpectedly, she, like the police inspector named Bai Chi, was also rescued by this nameless knight.

Bai Chi did not answer. He knew that Gao Shanjie wanted to test his strength, and he did the same.

The Special Science support team is about to arrive, and no matter how arrogant Takayama Sue is, he can't fight him here in his true form.

“You really are as rumored, able to use different powers by changing colors.” Gao Shanjie looked at Bai Chi through Zhuo Chuan’s eyes. “I’ve never seen such a peculiarity before. It’s very interesting. In that case, how about you come back to Gaoyang with me? I can give you anything you want. Why stay in Nanluo as a vigilante who can’t see the light of day?”

Gao Shanjie's words immediately made Sano nervous. She looked at Bai Chi's back with great trepidation, fearing that this nameless knight would defect to Gao Yang at any moment.

Bai Chi's response was simple—he bent down and assumed a fighting stance.

"Heh, is that your answer?" Gao Shanjie shrugged. "What a pity, you've chosen a dead end."

As he spoke, Gao Shanjie, or rather, the Zhuo Chuan he controlled, opened his mouth wide, and a pair of pitch-black hands reached out from his mouth, prying Zhuo Chuan's mouth open.

Click click click...

Amid a series of chilling sounds of bones shattering, a pitch-black evil spirit emerged from Zhuo Chuan's body and stared intently at Bai Chi.

“The owner of this body is too weak to deal with you,” the evil spirit said. “So let me handle it.”

As he spoke, the evil spirit transformed into a cloud of black mist, once again covering Zhuo Chuan's body.

"Aaaaaah!" Zhuo Chuan immediately let out a shrill wail.

Sano immediately raised his gun, but still didn't know where to fire. The black mist, which resembled both armor and flesh, completely enveloped Zhuo Chuan, transforming him into a monster that was neither human nor human.

"bring it on!"

He charged toward Bai Chi with lightning speed, a speed that no normal person could achieve.

Sano was also very shocked.

How could this guy get his servants to go to such lengths? This is information that Captain Jin Chen didn't provide.

In other words, he hadn't even used his full strength when dealing with Captain Jin Chen and the Third Squad?!

If that's the case, can the nameless knight stop him?
The worry that had just surfaced in Sano's mind was instantly dispelled, because Bai Chi had already started moving, and his speed was no less than Zhuo Chuan's.

There was a "boom".

Both men slammed their fists into each other's chests, then simultaneously staggered backward. However, Bai Chi only took one step back, while Gao Shanjie took three.

Sano's mouth dropped open.

What a powerful force.

But it didn't end there. Sano watched as Bai Chi withdrew his fist, and without anyone knowing what he did, a burst of flame suddenly shot up from between his fingers, instantly engulfing the entire fist.

I almost forgot, this guy is also a knight who controls fire.

The incandescent flame that ignited his fist gave Gao Shanjie no chance to catch his breath. He immediately rushed forward and unleashed a barrage of blows on Gao Shanjie.

The flames and black mist intertwined, flickering between light and shadow. One second the flames ignited the black mist, and the next second the black mist swallowed the flames.

But soon, the black mist side was defeated. After dozens of punches, half of Gao Shanjie's body was on fire, and the black mist had no way to extinguish it.

Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Gao Shanjie immediately expanded the black mist several times, like a huge curtain, and at the same time, countless hands reached out from the curtain, as if to drag Bai Chi into the abyss.

Seeing this, Bai Chi did not panic. Instead, he quickly distanced himself, released his burning fist, and then gently flicked it to extinguish the flames. He then bent down again to cover the rapidly brightening flame mark on his right leg.

By the time the black mist reached him, the mark had already been fully charged. Bai Chi leaped high into the air and delivered a spinning kick that struck the center of the black mist.

The kick wasn't very powerful; Gao Shanjie only staggered back two steps without even falling.

The white flames that had been emanating from Bai Chi's armor had faded considerably, but they hadn't gone out. When he landed, his back was already to Gao Shanjie.

Facing Gao Shanjie rushing up from behind again, he didn't even move, as if the battle was already over.

This made Sano anxious: "Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? That guy isn't dead yet..."

Before he could finish speaking, the expanding black mist suddenly burst into flames, instantly illuminating the dimly lit parking lot.

Sano was stunned.

It wasn't until the black mist let out a painful cry that Sano remembered that Zhuo Chuan was still inside, so he immediately rushed up to try to pull him out of the flames.

But he only made it halfway before Zhuo Chuan separated from the burning black mist and fell heavily to the ground, but there wasn't a single flame on his body.

The flames seemed to burn only the black mist, and within a few seconds, they burned all the black mist away, leaving not a single spark, as if everything before had been an illusion.

Sano rushed to Zhuo Chuan's side, confirming he was still alive. His heart, which had been pounding with relief, finally settled. But when he turned back, the fire knight had vanished without a trace.
……

Gao Shanjie opened his eyes, his expression playful.

"Interesting. Did you see through my plans?"

During the battle just now, if even a tiny bit of black mist landed on Bai Chi's body, Bai Chi would be parasitized by Gao Shan Jie and become his servant.

But not a single drop of black mist remained; it was all consumed by the flames.

Moreover, despite the immense fire, it did not harm Zhuo Chuan in the center of the black mist in the slightest.

"Such precise fire control is truly rare." Gao Shanjie looked up at the bustling night view before him and said softly, "I really can't wait to see you."

……

On the other side, Bai Chi, having finished the battle, was escorting Yan Le home.

Yan Le said with great pleasure, "Officer Deng, it seems like we're getting stronger and stronger."

Bai Chi nodded slightly: "Yes."

Today, his synchronization rate with Yan Le has increased to 59%, just one step away from breaking 60%.

Once the Shadow Knight's synchronization rate reaches 59%, the form of the fog can be changed in more ways.

Once the Fiery Knight's synchronization rate reaches 59%, it greatly enhances its fire control ability and can also maintain its combat state by reducing the energy required for the Fiery Knight Kick, preventing it from being instantly defeated by a single kick.

"That guy named Gao Shanjie doesn't seem that strong," Yan Le said. "Wouldn't it have been easy for us to beat him?"

Bai Chi shook his head: "No, we have no chance of winning against him now."

Yan Le was taken aback: "Why?"

“Because we were just fighting one of his ‘mist’,” Bai Chi explained. “It wasn’t even a ‘shadow,’ just ‘mist.’”

It should be noted that for individuals with ominous special abilities, there is only one most powerful "Shadow," while there can be as many as ten "Mist."

In other words, Gao Shanjie can control ten of those things that require Bai Chi to use his ultimate technique to solve, not to mention his "Shadows".

Is this what a sixth-tier ominous type special individual looks like? The difference is just too great.

After hearing Bai Chi's explanation, Yan Le was also somewhat stunned.

Good heavens, it turns out that they just defeated only one-tenth, or even less than one-tenth, of Takayama Jetsu?

Is that guy really that outrageous?
Yan Le, who was initially quite happy, suddenly became depressed, but then she heard Bai Chi say, "It's okay, we're also on the path to becoming stronger."

Yan Le was taken aback.

Is Officer Deng trying to comfort her?
Officer Deng actually knows how to comfort people?!
Yan Le was shocked.

Bai Chi had no idea what Yan Le was thinking; he was just telling the truth.

He clearly sensed today that the Fiery Knight's strength had increased significantly, and at this rate, breaking through the 60% synchronization rate barrier was just around the corner.

As for why it suddenly improved...

Bai Chi subconsciously touched his chest, feeling the strong beating of his heart.

Even though the battle was over, his heart was still pounding and his body was still burning with heat.

Is it that medicine that's working?
Did the medicine enhance his fighting ability, or did it make Yan Le look more handsome?

Bai Chi was still unsure, and just then, Yan Le cried out and fell down.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing." Yan Le clutched her ankle and said with a wry smile, "I just sprained my ankle."

Unfortunately, to maintain her public image, she had to wear these extremely uncomfortable platform sneakers all day. These kinds of shoes are fine if you don't fall, but if you do, you're likely to sprain your ankle. And her sprain was particularly bad; she was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely.

Fortunately, I'm already at my doorstep, and I can hop back with one foot.

However, just as Yan Le was about to stand up, her right leg was suddenly lifted down by Bai Chi, and before she could react, her shoes and white socks were taken off.

Yan Le was stunned.

What the hell?!
How could Officer Deng act so quickly?!

The shoes are one thing, but how did he take off those over-the-knee white socks?

Yan Le subconsciously tried to pull her leg back, but Bai Chi had already grabbed her foot, and she couldn't move at all.

"Officer Deng, what are you doing...?"

Bai Chi frowned slightly as he looked at Yan Le's swollen ankle: "It's quite swollen. If you don't apply medicine, you won't be able to walk tomorrow. Do you have any medicine at home?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yan Le stammered, "I have medicine at home, I can apply it when I get back."

"That's fine."

Bai Chi nodded and then released his hand.

Yan Le breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was fortunate that it was Officer Deng; if it had been anyone else, she would have felt that the other party was sexually harassing her.

Bai Chi hadn't really thought much about it; he was just worried that Yan Le might sprain his ankle and be unable to come for the next two days, which would make it harder for him to deal with Gao Shan Jie. After all, it seemed that the Blazing Knight was the best counter to Gao Shan Jie right now.

However, just as Yan Le was trying to put on her shoes and socks, Bai Chi caught a glimpse of her fair little feet again out of the corner of his eye.

Slender ankles, rounded insteps, and long, thin toes.

In an instant, all the adjectives about legs he had seen in novels these past few days flooded his mind and coalesced into a single thought.

Slap it.

He grabbed Yan Le's ankle again.

Yan Le looked at him with some confusion: "What's wrong?"

Bai Chi thought for a moment and asked, "May I try some?"
