Great, we're doomed now!

Gunpowder-propelled bullets grazed past the two, delivering a devastating blow to the pursuing monster!

Flowers of blood bloomed on the ground; the three shots in half a second turned its entire head into a bloody mess!

A familiar voice came: "Are you alright? Ruri, Chika."

—Ye Shou has arrived!

Chapter 19: Special Operations Against "Demons".jpg

The moment after firing the flare into the sky, Ye Shou casually tossed aside the signal gun, his mind becoming incredibly focused.

Imagine!

The image that comes to mind is two rows of tightly interlocking teeth smoothly torn open by a zipper, revealing a cold metallic gleam in the dark and vast space inside, something like a flying fish leaping out from beneath the sea—

With his right hand, he pulled out an inner pocket. At this moment, space and matter seemed to be given "elasticity," and the concepts of big and small were completely overturned. A black-painted M4 A1 assault rifle, hidden in the night, appeared out of the ordinary and was smoothly carried on Ye Shou's shoulder.

Pulling back the safety, loading the gun, and aiming, a red line from the laser sight shot out like a stopped electrocardiogram, and a striking red dot flashed across the monster's outline.

The entire process took less than two seconds, and the next three consecutive shots were equally swift. Calm and steady hands staged a bloody scene in the blink of an eye.

Three flowers mixed with blood and bits of flesh bloomed. Ye Shou narrowed his eyes and strode forward while firing continuously. Bullets hit the target one after another, and the painful roars gradually became weak and powerless.

As Ye Shou stepped over Liu Li and the other woman on the ground and shielded them behind him, the "beast" lay motionless on the ground like a mountain of flesh.

"Lord Ye Shou!" Liuli was both surprised and shocked. Ye Shou's rescue was naturally touching, but this gun...

Chika's thoughts were still a bit confused. From her perspective, the sudden bright light, the continuous gunfire, and then escaping danger all happened in just ten seconds. She clearly hadn't yet connected the deadly expert in front of her with her childhood sweetheart who always seemed indifferent.

"Little...Little Guard, you can shoot?"

"I learned it in Hawaii."

The man waved his hand behind him without turning his head: "Step back."

"oh oh!"

"Yes!"

Even Qianhua dared not be the "clever one" at this moment, and subconsciously carried out Ye Shou's order. The two of them crawled on their hands and feet without any regard for their image before standing up and running away.

Ye Shou's gaze never left the "corpse." Judging from the torso, it should be a wild boar that is now very rare to see. Its size is similar to that of a young black bear, and it has almost no natural enemies in the wild.

However, no wild animal on the ground can survive a barrage of automatic rifle fire!

Even with a hunting license, such intense shooting could lead to warnings from hunter associations and animal protection organizations for "suspected cruelty."

If it's just a wild boar, then there's really nothing to worry about... Ye Shou's gaze finally fell on the "pig's head," and his furrowed brows remained unresolved.

Although he wasn't a professional hunter, he still had some common sense. Wild boars might have long neck bristles, but they could never be wrapped around a lion's neck like a lion's, much less be as bushy as a samurai's!

This "wild boar" has only one head, which looks like it was pieced together in a disharmonious way!

Could it be Su Nuo? This is different from the "plot"... Well, after all, this isn't a single world view, so there might be subtle differences.

But in any case, tonight should end here, and we won't look at the swords in the shrine anymore!

What a misfortune!

He had already decided to retreat and even arranged for helicopters, so why did this have to happen at this time!

Fujiwara Chika...wasn't that woman supposed to be lucky? How come she could just randomly pick a place like this?!

Could it be that my unfortunate constitution is affecting the people around me?

Ye Shou shook his head, calmly observing the target, slowly retreating and carefully estimating the distance: "About fifteen meters... that's a little short."

Ye Shou took two steps back, glanced back, and nodded to confirm that the two girls were also within a safe range.

He reached into his pocket again—

Open the door! Take it!

He grabbed a high-explosive grenade and pulled it out.

Pull out the pin, release the trigger, and toss it lightly, sending it flying in a beautiful arc before it bounced off the wild boar carcass.

boom!!!

The burst of heat engulfed the space within four or five meters, and the entire corpse was covered by scorching red lotus flames!

Ye Shou kept moving!

Immediately following were a series of piercing explosions as steel bullets were fired from the gun barrels, mercilessly blasting into the completely unresponsive corpses.

Reload when you're done!

Switching the rifle to burst fire mode, Ye Shou transformed into a ruthless firepower platform, much like an arms dealer clearing out expired inventory, unleashing a barrage of bullets, measured by "weight," onto his target.

He magically produced magazine after magazine from the inside pocket of his clothes, emptied them, and replaced them with incredibly smooth movements, ensuring almost uninterrupted firing. He maintained the shooting posture for extended periods without any strain, displaying remarkable ease and showcasing his extraordinary physique.

Soon, a thick layer of golden bullet casings lay beneath his feet. The flames on the wild boar had long since died down, but its body appeared to have grown noticeably larger, revealing countless bullets embedded within it, a sight that left everyone speechless.

—Ruri and Chika, standing nearby, were completely numb.

"Hand grenades? Machine guns?"

Chika, who was covering her ears, stared wide-eyed, feeling that too many things had happened tonight that could overturn her worldview.

"Where did this come from? No, how could you? No... Ouch!"

She originally wanted to complain, but when she opened her mouth, her face turned red and she didn't know where to start. Finally, she let out a long breath and managed to muster up some energy.

"Where did you get all this stuff from?!"

That suit doesn't look like it could hold grenades and so many magazines at all!

Are you Doraemon?!

—They're pretty much the same.

Ye Shouyong's innate talent, "Collector," comes with a separate space similar to a four-dimensional pocket. Apart from not having as many overpowered magical items as Lan Datou, its storage functionality is about the same.

However, just like the concept of "unlucky constitution," there's a slight difference between how things manifest in anime and in real life:

Ye Shou wasn't a Qi cultivator who had awakened his divine sense, so for him, simply opening his storage space was already very difficult!

At first, he was completely helpless and could only rely on his mood and luck to trigger it. Later, he gradually found the knack for "concentrating his mental energy" through practices such as meditation, yoga, and Zen.

To simplify the "opening the door" process, he trained thousands of times and successfully used the "zipper" as a psychological cue, which greatly improved his speed in taking things (incidentally, he used this cue as a reference to "chain fingers").

For him now, as long as there's a "pocket" he can reach into, he can quickly unzip it and take out what he wants.

But the problem of "opening the door" is only one aspect; Ye Shou has encountered far more difficulties than that!

For example, because it is impossible to observe with the naked eye, it is difficult to lock onto the target, and often it is impossible to retrieve what you want;

If something is too heavy or too big, it can easily tip over and get out of order, forcing you to dump out a whole bunch of it and put it away again.

An experiment was attempted to store a living organism, but the chicken inside started flapping and causing chaos. Ye Shou's mental energy was completely unable to track the moving target, and he had to wait for it to slowly suffocate and die...

In short, it's all tears. His smooth movements today are the result of his persistent research over the years!

It was this experience that made him realize that the storage bags and spatial rings in fantasy novels were all equipped with artificial intelligence. They could be used as easily as a finger after a biometric verification (blood test), just like a game inventory—it was practically cheating!

"That's about enough, isn't it?"

Ye Shou looked at the wild boar carcass, now a pile of rotten flesh, and said this, but his brows were still furrowed. He regretted not having placed a flamethrower in his space.

Yes, the kind used by the US military on Iwo Jima!

That thing has a special attack against "Japanese devils"!

Chapter 20: Are you also an all-powerful wish-granting machine?

Only after Ye Shou stopped did Liuli speak up to express her gratitude: "Thank you so much. We would have been in danger if it weren't for Lord Ye Shou."

"Yes, yes!" Chika, still shaken, patted her ample bosom with lingering fear. "That scared me to death! I never imagined there really were ghosts—"

"It's quite unexpected to find such a large wild boar in this not-so-remote mountain area."

Ye Shou turned his head to look at them and said, "It's good that you two are alright."

"Wild...wild boar?"

Qianhua immediately wanted to refute, her biological instincts telling her that the thing was not simple. If it were just an ordinary wild boar, Ye Shou would have no need to fire bullets by the kilogram.

In addition, there was that assault rifle that seemed to have unlimited ammunition... There was no way Ye Shou could be hiding so many things on him!

However, before she could speak, her small hand was grasped by Liuli, and the slightly forceful grip made her instinctively shut her mouth.

"Ok?"

"Miss Qianhua must have been frightened. That was indeed just a wild boar, only a bit larger."

Ruri looked at her earnestly and said, "Since Lord Ye Shou has said so, we just need to trust him. If there are any questions, we can discuss them another time when we have time, Miss Chika."

The maid addressed herself with an honorific title—Chika pursed her lips, hesitated, but nodded slowly.

"That's great!"

Liuli smiled with relief, then turned to Ye Shou, who had his back to the two of them, and called out, "Thank you again for your help. What should we do next? Should we just stay here and wait for rescue?"

"No, since an accident has occurred, the test of courage competition is no longer suitable to continue. Let's call it a day."

Ye Shou's tone was as if he were giving an order, without any intention of consulting with the two of them.

"You can just turn back. The priest should be behind you. Also, tell the remaining three contestants that the competition has been canceled due to disruption by wild animals."

“There are three, one of which is a team of two from the board game club, but… what about Ms. Yotsuya Miko, who was on your team?” Ruri asked, puzzled.

"...I feel a little bad for her. If you encounter her, please say sorry for me."

"I understand!"

After pondering for a moment and understanding, Liuli looked at Ye Shou with gentle gratitude.

Clearly, Ye Shou abandoned Yotsuya Miko immediately after receiving the message and rushed to the shrine as quickly as possible, managing to rescue the two from the monster's jaws. Along the way, he may have encountered the priest and the two from the board game club, but he didn't stop and simply ignored them.

It's undoubtedly pitiful for Miko to be abandoned by someone, but from Ruri's perspective, Ye Shou, who unhesitatingly abandons others and chooses her side... gives her a sense of security!

Consequently, she felt it was her responsibility to apologize to Jianzi and to properly appease her, preventing her from harboring resentment. As Lord Ye Shou's right-hand woman, she had to fill in any gaps in his judgment.

Aren't you coming with us?

"There are still some things to take care of." Ye Shou shook his head, the charred wild boar carcass reflected in his pupils.

Liuli replied seriously, "I understand."
