Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Let's not talk about that... Anyway, that Dr. Jackal guy is just destined to be a comedian—so, shall we go through the formalities or just get right to it...?"

Kiana stood with her hands on her hips, looking at the two world-snake duo in front of her, waiting for their reply.

"No need for formalities... let's just get started. Here are some sacks, crawl into them yourself—"

The two, determined to push their dawdling to its limit, simply tossed a sack at them, implying, "Get in there yourself..."

"Uh... is this really necessary?"

"Miss Kiana—have you ever risked your life for your boss in your entire life?"

Raven gave her a look that said, "You Herrscher, you definitely don't understand."

"Hmm... I don't think the salary Jackal pays us is worth fighting a fully-fledged Herrscher."

Night Owl was even more direct, saying, "Jackal, you haven't paid enough!"

"Our little ancestor has given us an eight-figure advance payment, as well as special protection from Destiny and Anti-Entropy. If we don't want to continue, we can just run away to either Anti-Entropy or Destiny."

"And the jackal gave us a piece of advice: 'Don't disappoint the Lord!'"

She gave way too much.jpg

Chapter 236 Get on the bus! (No further explanation needed)

"Couldn't you have found some normal moving tools? Even if you're just trying to be perfunctory, this is going too far!"

The Knight Princess, huddled in the sack with only her head peeking out, glared at the raven sitting alongside her in the back cargo bed, playing the role of a cat-like insect. Meanwhile, the only male laborer present, Mr. Night Owl, stared miserably at this purely human-powered transport vehicle from the front.

"Ah...we originally had a car, but your best friend, our little darling Imotek, took it out to race against the police in Sky City..."

"Then the remaining vehicles mostly had Shencheng Pharmaceutical's logo... Driving these vehicles into a deserted area was too suspicious. In the end, we only found this three-wheeled vehicle..."

"And Night Owl, he's practically the same as Gray Snake, all cybernetic. Just look at that pitiful look he's putting on..."

"Competing against traffic police??? Does she have some serious illness...? Most of the police in Sky Dome City are retired female warriors—if the other side gets angry, they'll floor the gas pedal and jump onto your car for a boarding maneuver..."

Kiana's lips twitched as she mentally gave a bad review to a certain law-abiding citizen of Sky City, then something else occurred to her—

"There's one more thing—don't you think a pedicab on the street would be more conspicuous in a high-tech cyber city?"

"......"

The raven and the owl fell silent, exchanging an awkward glance...

"Why don't you just teleport us back?"

Raven scratched his head vigorously and offered his idea.

"Are you sure you want to transmit this openly and legitimately under surveillance???"

Before Kiana could even speak, Night Owl interrupted his companion's idea of ​​slacking off.

"The industrial zone and surrounding area of ​​Shencheng Pharmaceuticals are constantly monitored by patrol forces and high-altitude Honkai energy detection drones. If we were to teleport there, an alarm would be triggered the very next second..."

"So, Night Owl, you're going to carry this sack all the way back? That doesn't seem very normal, does it? Be careful you don't get mistaken for a human trafficker and then get hacked to pieces for seven blocks by the well-meaning citizens of Sky Dome City..."

"Tsk... So tell me what to do... Raven."

Night Owl pondered for a moment, then gave his companion a helpless look.

"That's easy, I have a plan—"

The black dodo bird activated its communication channel, and in the distance, the piercing sound of police sirens could be clearly heard in the bustling city center.

"Hey, little Imotek, are you free to pick us up?"

"...Was it a mistake to have my boss drive me to pick me up???"

The owl stared wide-eyed at the raven beside it.

"And... judging from the increasingly close commotion in the distance—our dear Miss Imotek probably hasn't shaken off the dutiful Sky City traffic police behind her yet..."

Kiana looked towards the distant billowing smoke and the mix of warnings and sirens, and confirmed something—

"Um, let me confirm with you first... what kind of car did Imotek drive back then?"

"I remember we prepared a local specialty vehicle from China? I think it was called something like Wuling Hongguang... it was a minivan."

After a moment's thought, Raven told Kiana the answer—

"...I understand the logic, so that's why Imotek can drive a van faster than your group of police cars."

Amidst the white-haired knight princess's utterly bewildered expression, a reckless, street-racing delinquent girl suddenly braked and swerved from the road corner, stopping right in front of the three of them.

"Get in the car now! There's no time to explain."

--

On the ring road, the arrogant Miss Destiny and the Valkyrie Destiny, who was relentlessly pursuing her but could only catch her exhaust fumes, began a back-and-forth item race.

Meanwhile, Night Owl and Kiana, sitting in the back seat, had their seatbelts pulled as tight as possible, gripping their seats tightly, their faces etched with fear.

[Ultimate Peril *1]

[Ultimate Speed ​​Technology *1]

[Ultimate Drift Techniques *6]

[Ultimate Destruction Technology *1]

Raven, having already experienced it once, was different. She sat numbly in the passenger seat, even having the leisure to act as a human scoreboard for her little ancestor who was engrossed in catching shrimp, calculating the score of her boss, who had a slacking-off driving license, extraordinary talent, speeding like drinking water, and treating a 6-star wanted level as nothing.

"Hmm...another ultimate destructive technology..."

Watching the dual-wielding assassin being sent flying by the attack, Siola silently added another note to her mental record...

"Did you throw out your poison gas bombs... oops, Honkai energy neutralizing mist?"

The white-haired girl in the driver's seat suddenly spoke, interrupting Raven's train of thought as she continued calculating the scores...

"...I forgot, hehe—"

Startled, Siola touched a throwing smoke grenade at her waist and gave an awkward smile.

"30 seconds later, next to the overpass, on the fourth floor of a red-walled guesthouse, the fourth window from the left... activate it and throw it in—can you do it?"

Without any apparent reason, Imotek issued a command that resembled acrobatics. Out of respect for her new master, Siola nodded in response:

"Hmm, it's a bit difficult, but not a problem—"

"Then throw it away—"

The black, smoke-grenade-like projectile shattered the glass precisely and entered the target's room—soon, a bluish smoke billowed out of the room. Seeing the effect of the throw in the rearview mirror, Siola nodded to Imotek.

"Spot on target, my little darling—but why did you throw that thing in there...?"

"Although the World Serpent can already mass-produce this thing, the cost is really high..."

The raven looked puzzled...

"There's a Herrscher candidate in that room—didn't you feel the Honkai energy gathering there just now?"

Imotek, in the driver's seat, turned his head and gave Ciora a strange look...

"As expected, big boobs and no brains..." (whispering)

"Hey, even if you're the boss, you can't call me all boobs and no brains! I heard everything—and I'm not a Fusion Warrior or a Herrscher, so where would I get that kind of high-intensity Honkai energy perception?"

......

"Hmm... So, little ancestor, you just interrupted the birth of a certain Herrscher?"

"It's just one of them... If nothing unexpected happens, it's a combination of multiple Herrschers—in any case, we can't catch her right now."

"Multiple individual Law Masters...wait? Law Masters of Domination???"

"That should be it—"

......

"My head hurts so much... What just happened...? All those strange noises in my head have disappeared...?"

In the red-themed guesthouse, little Jian Yun, who had been knocked unconscious by a high-speed smoke grenade thrown by Raven, slowly awoke... The jarring noise that had been blaring in her mind about how this world was never pleasant had somehow vanished...

Perhaps this ostracized girl will remain depressed for a while longer, but that's enough already...

Chapter 237 Powerful Brick Flies

"My little darling, I have a question..."

Sitting in the Wuling Hongguang that was speeding along, holding onto the handrails and ignoring the numerous objects rushing past, Ciora asked the question that everyone in the car was most concerned about.

"When will we reach our destination...? No, when will you shake off those Sky City traffic cops who're practically going crazy? They've switched to a sports car..."

"It's not a big problem—"

Imotek patted the dashboard in the car, pressed a few buttons on it, then pulled down a dashboard panel from above his head and flipped a few buttons on it as well.

...

"What are all these things?"

The group, increasingly sensing something was amiss, looked at the various buttons and gauges that had been rummaged through, a sense of déjà vu lingering within them...

Imotek didn't answer their questions; instead, without changing his expression, he removed the gearshift lever and threw it out the window amidst their fearful gazes.

Then he took out a peculiar grip from the glove compartment and...

"Hmm...this thing looks familiar."

Night Owl examined the grips newly attached to the base, and engaged in a brief but rapid thought...

The more he looked at the peculiar grip, the more familiar the buttons on it seemed... especially the red missile launch button...

Missile launch button....

Launch button...

Button....

Seemingly finally remembering what it was, the owl shakily turned its head towards the window...
