The girl's voice reached Fang Rui's ears, causing him to frown.
Are they gathering their accomplices?
Since there's more than one enemy, let's retreat!
It was an accident anyway, there's no need to dwell on it.
Thinking this, Fang Rui wanted to recall the throwing knife and the mechanical puppet, but before he could take any action, he heard a sentence.
"Let me try."
The one who spoke was that young girl.
Why don't you give it a try? What do you want to try?
As doubt arose, he saw the girl open her mouth and exhale a large plume of black mist, which surged toward him like a living thing.
His intuition told him that the black mist was no ordinary thing, so Fang Rui didn't hesitate at all and turned to run.
Nigeludayo~
Even the mechanical puppets that got tainted weren't retrieved; after all, they were just two mass-produced, low-level puppets...
However, the magical throwing knife needs to be retrieved...
Chapter 13 The Roadblocks
One minute ago...
One hundred meters away from Fang Rui's location, on a street, a silver-white van was parked on the side of the road, with three middle-aged men in protective suits sitting inside.
The middle-aged man with a buzz cut held a tablet computer. The screen displayed a map and moving red dots. He watched the red dots move erratically within a small area. As far as he knew, the target of this mission was of ordinary strength. How could he have fought Chen Duo for so long? He said with some curiosity, "Could it be that the target is hiding his strength this time?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man with gray hair turned his gaze to the person sitting in the passenger seat.
The person sitting in the passenger seat was a middle-aged man with a fierce face and several scars on his face. He did not react to the words coming from behind and was speaking seriously.
"An extraordinary person outside the mission?... Can you confirm if this person is related to the target?... Has he captured the target? Don't let him take the target away!... What?! Don't let him escape! Chen Duo, hold him off! We'll be there to help soon!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the back seat of the car.
His two companions had already put on their helmets and completed their protective suits.
"Brother Liao, let's go first!"
With that, the two opened the car doors and rushed out, one on each side, speeding through the empty, dimly lit streets.
Immediately afterwards, Liao Zhong pushed open the passenger door, grabbed his helmet, and rushed forward, putting on his protective suit as he sprinted.
At the same time, a middle-aged man with gray hair was contacting his companions on a communication channel.
The target of this mission is hidden in the city. In order to avoid being discovered by ordinary people during the capture of the target, the mission is scheduled for nighttime. Moreover, the street where the target is located has been treated in order to provide the residents with a good night's sleep, ensuring that they can sleep soundly until dawn and will not go out at night.
Meanwhile, many company employees nearby blocked others from entering the street, but unfortunately one slipped through the net, which is why Liao Zhonghui became suspicious of Fang Rui.
If someone suddenly appears in a place that is under lockdown, and the people in charge of the lockdown are completely unaware of it, it is highly suspicious from any perspective.
While Liao Zhong and the others were on their way, Fang Rui and Chen Duo were not idle either.
Seeing Fang Rui decisively run away, Chen Duo was stunned for a moment, and then chased after him. However, she was forced to stop after taking only two steps. Her ankle was grabbed, and she lost her balance and fell forward.
However, people with supernatural abilities generally react very quickly, so before she fell and her face was covered in bruises, Chen Duo stretched out her hands and pressed them on the ground, assuming a standard push-up position and looking ahead, her pupils reflecting Fang Rui's receding figure.
Then she turned to look behind her, and a calm face appeared in her field of vision. It was the face of the mechanical puppet she had fought with earlier.
Staring into the doll's lifeless eyes for a few seconds, I found it didn't react at all, just quietly gripping my ankle.
To save time, Chen Duo cut off the doll's arm and ignored the two hands still gripping her ankle, chasing after Fang Rui who was about to disappear from her sight.
As the two left one after the other, the middle-aged man being held by the mechanical puppet suddenly paused, then revealed a bright smile.
Wow, this surprise came so suddenly!
He was completely unprepared!
He thought his arrest was a foregone conclusion, but unexpectedly... a turning point came!
Praise the moon! Praise the lights! Praise my good fortune! ...
Although he was incredibly excited, the middle-aged man didn't forget what he had to do: he needed to make the most of the time to escape.
After the throwing knives stuck in his hands and feet were removed, he no longer had to worry about being cut by them and could move freely. The minor injuries would not reduce his strength much, and he could still break free from a mechanical puppet without any problem.
Just as he mustered his strength to break free of the mechanical puppet, a pair of legs suddenly appeared in his field of vision, the kind that fall from the sky, and at the same time, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him.
"Wow~ this mechanical puppet looks pretty good!"
A slightly accented voice came from ahead, and the light in the middle-aged man's eyes gradually disappeared.
"Stop talking nonsense, shut down his Qi first!"
Immediately afterwards, a younger voice came from behind.
Sure enough... I'm so unlucky!
After experiencing the emotional shifts from despair to hope and back to despair, the middle-aged man gave up the struggle.
………………
While Chen Duo was held back by the mechanical puppet, Fang Rui had already run a certain distance. Although he was still a little short of completely shaking off Chen Duo's pursuit, if he could maintain his current advantage, he would soon be able to get rid of Chen Duo.
However, an unexpected situation occurred: three people dressed identically appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
Fang Rui, who could guess the identities of the people blocking his way, did not stop. He remained hovering beside him, and the throwing knives that were moving forward with him suddenly shot out, slashing at the three people respectively.
The three charged at the flying knife, each using their unique skills to deflect it, and then charged straight at Fang Rui.
The three were very fast; before Fang Rui could recall his throwing knives, their attacks would land on him.
For a superhuman who relies on the art of manipulating objects as their primary means of combat, the current situation might be a crisis, but it's not really a crisis for him, since he is a weapon refiner.
Take this shaken bell!
Ding-dong————
The sonic shockwave released at close range made the three of them dizzy, and the person blocking Fang Rui's path was pushed aside by him, falling to the ground along with his companion.
Fang Rui continued charging forward, glancing at the Soul-Shaking Bell in his hand.
To be honest, the Soul-Shaking Bell is really useful!
As a control skill, few people can remain unaffected by it.
The only drawback might be its attack range; I can upgrade it later when I have time...
As he was thinking this, three more people dressed identically appeared in front of him.
The pure white protective suits seemed to gleam under the lights.
Unlike last time, this time the three of them did not rush towards Fang Rui together; the only one who rushed over was the one in the middle.
trouble!
If he can't handle all three people at once, he'll definitely be stuck here.
and……
Why are you wearing protective clothing?
Looking at the three people in protective suits, Fang Rui felt a sense of doubt and déjà vu.
Protective suit, brown outfit, a girl with emerald green eyes...
However, before he could think it through, the enemy didn't give him any time to consider it carefully.
First, they used throwing knives to stop the enemy from getting closer, then quickly created distance...
Chapter 14 Fang Rui: How embarrassing~
At the same time, the other two people took action; one went straight for Fang Rui, while the other circled around to the side.
It's a very conventional, yet highly effective, combat method, especially for those who lack practical experience. Dealing with attacks from multiple directions can easily leave them overwhelmed.
However, this was not a big problem for Fang Rui. With his high-end defensive magic weapon, he could withstand the attack of one person and take care of the other first.
And that's exactly what he did. He ignored the aliens who attacked him from behind and decided to take down the alien who attacked from the front first.
Fang Rui raised the golden Soul-Shaking Bell and swung it forward, causing the bell to ring, which made people feel dizzy, but the sonic attack failed to hit the target.
To be precise, it didn't hit the target completely!
Upon seeing Fang Rui waving the golden bell, the other party seemed to know the power of the Soul-Shaking Bell, and without the slightest hesitation, retreated, attempting to avoid the Soul-Shaking Bell's attack.
Fortunately, the Soul-Shaking Bell's attack range wasn't particularly bad. Although it didn't completely hit and stun him, it was enough to make his head buzz for a while and slow his reactions.
According to conventional circumstances, Fang Rui should have pursued the enemy at this moment. Unfortunately, another superhuman's attack arrived at the same time. A powerful punch landed on Fang Rui's back, and flowing golden light instantly enveloped Fang Rui's entire body, leaving him completely unharmed from the enemy's attack. He was just a bit disheveled as he was sent flying.
Fang Rui had long known that the effects of the Soul-Shaking Bell would eventually be known to the enemy, so he wasn't surprised. After all, he had already used the Soul-Shaking Bell twice, and given the speed of information transmission in modern society, it was normal for the girl's companions to know.
Taking advantage of being knocked away, Fang Rui temporarily escaped the battle range and used this opportunity to take out the remaining magical artifacts from his Devouring Pouch. He needed to break through the barrier as quickly as possible, otherwise it would be even more difficult for him to leave once the others arrived.
"To be honest, I had a pretty unlucky night."
A magical artifact shaped like an iron ball floated to Fang Rui's left. Its outer shell unfolded, revealing a black structure with red Qi-circulating patterns.
Kamen Rider Kabuto, whose armor is mainly red and silver, walked leisurely to Fang Rui, slowly turned around to look at the three aliens, and his posture was full of swagger, giving people the feeling of "big bosses making their appearance".
Grandma once said: "In battle, you must go all out!"
A voice with a certain charm echoed in the empty street. A strange person stood there stunned. After all, installing a voice function on a mechanical puppet would not help in the battle. Therefore, mechanical puppets are usually mute. It is normal to be surprised to suddenly encounter a mechanical puppet that can talk.
The other person was stunned for a different reason. Upon seeing Kabuto appear, he blurted out "Holy crap!" in surprise, exclaiming, "Kamen Rider Kabuto!!!"
His companion next to him heard his teammate shout and glanced over instinctively, but since there was no reason to ask anything, he quickly looked away.
Hearing the opponent's roar, Fang Rui was stunned for a few seconds, and his idea of recalling the throwing knives was put on hold. The alien who was entangled by the group of throwing knives seized the sudden opening in the group of throwing knives and quickly knocked away several throwing knives to break out of the encirclement.
At the same time, Chen Duo appeared behind Fang Rui, opened her mouth and spat out a large amount of black mist. Golden light once again enveloped Fang Rui's entire body, and the Devouring Beast, a magical artifact that targets Qi and moves made of Qi, also reacted.
The black mist was not absorbed, but Chen Duo staggered as if someone had pulled her, but she quickly recovered and moved away from Fang Rui.
The sudden burst of golden light seemed like a signal to start a war, and the other three superhumans rushed forward, launching a fierce attack.
The three extraordinary individuals managed to stop Jia Dou and the Thief Beast, while Fang Rui was handled by Chen Duo.
