Cyberpunk, but urban
Page 74
As Ye Lan spoke, he hugged Luna and jumped onto the balcony of the house next door, looking for a suitable place to watch the game.
In the bustling center, the members of the Rust Chain Gang, led by their boss Kikan, were evenly matched with the Black Cloud Gang, which far outnumbered them.
"what time is it?"
After swinging the chain to repel a young man, Kikan took the time to ask the henchman beside him.
"It shouldn't be one o'clock yet, but it won't be long before the back alley reaches midnight. Boss, use whatever tricks you have, or our brothers will be exhausted sooner or later."
The Rusty Chain Gang could not completely ignore the disadvantage in numbers by relying on individual quality. Whether it was Kikan or his brothers, they would feel tired after fighting all the way until now, and even exposed their flaws.
If they cannot find a way to escape the battle and reorganize their team, it won't be long before they are slowly worn down by the Black Cloud that has the numerical advantage.
"Tsk, let me think about it. The people from the Sword Contract Group said today that they were going to attack a vice president of the Black Cloud Society... Damn, how many vice presidents do they have?"
Right in front of Jikan, a vice president of the Black Cloud Society joined the battle with his samurai sword. His sudden joining interrupted Jikan's thoughts, but he failed to leave any wounds on Jikan.
Chapter 194. Ordinary Reception - Rusty Chain Gang
After a vice president of the Black Cloud Society joined the battle, the balance of victory and defeat gradually tilted towards the Black Cloud Society.
Kikan, the leader of the Rust Chain Gang, was in danger under siege by the vice-president of the Black Cloud Gang and several of his juniors. His younger brothers were entangled by members of the Black Cloud Gang who were far superior to them. Even though they wanted to help Kikan, they were powerless when the time came to act.
"These Rusty Chain guys don't stand a chance."
Ye Lan, who was sitting on the roof of a mobile home with Luna, said to her. At this time, unless a group of reinforcements that the Rust Chain Gang themselves were not aware of could join the battle, otherwise, the separated Rust Chain Gang members would never be able to escape from the siege of the Black Cloud Society by their own strength.
"Kikan, ah Kikan, think about what to do!"
Even though he was surrounded, Kikan, wielding a chain with barbs that could hurt him, was still able to hold his own in a short period of time. He desperately thought about how to lead his fellow gang members to escape from the encirclement of the Black Cloud Society.
Just as he dodged the fierce knife attack from the vice-president of the Black Cloud Society, he stepped on a black card with golden patterns.
"An invitation to the library?"
Regardless of the fact that his arms were already scratched by the chains, Kikan used all his strength to sweep away all the enemies of the Black Cloud Society around him, forcing back a piece of open space around him.
"Damn it, it's an urban disease. Listen up, all the boys from the Rusty Chain Gang, get close to me immediately!"
Stuffing the invitation into his pocket, Kikan launched a violent offensive, temporarily blocking all enemies who wanted to suppress him again.
"Look, your sister Angela's library is trying to trick people into going in as books again."
Ye Lan on the roof shook his head and said that during the time he was talking to Luna, the members of the Rust Chain Gang also used some means, or paid different degrees of price, to break away from the siege of the Black Cloud Society members and get closer to their boss despite getting injured.
"Boss, what can you do?"
"I picked up an invitation to the library. Let's sign it and go into the library." Jikan handed the invitation to a younger brother who came over to him, and then walked past them and started fighting with the enemies of the Black Cloud Society again.
"Hurry up and sign. I can't stop you for long."
To be honest, Kikan's decision could only be regarded as the lesser of two evils. After all, in his opinion, reorganizing the team in the library might allow them to escape unscathed from a case of this magnitude as Urban Evil.
Having made up their minds, all the members of the Rust Chain Gang disappeared from the sight of the members of the Black Cloud Society in an instant, and all entered the library through the open portal.
The vice president of the Black Cloud Society who organized the encirclement and suppression lit a cigarette, not caring at all that the enemies of the Rusted Chain Gang escaped from his hands.
After all, once inside the library, these people are no different from being dead.
The small Rust Chain Gang was not aware of the information in the library, but as the vice president of the Black Cloud Society, a large gang that relied on Thumb, he knew all the information he should know.
At this moment, a young man holding a mobile phone walked over from the side and said to the vice president of the Black Cloud Society: "Vice President, there is an emergency call!"
"Ah."
As soon as he picked up the phone, he heard an urgent voice from a colleague who was also the vice president of the Black Cloud Society: "Are you free now? The assassins of the Sword Contract Group have surrounded us, and I need support!"
"...Why are you acting like a loser? Wait, I'll bring someone over right away."
With a sigh, the vice president of the Black Cloud Society under Ye Lan's nose smoked the cigarette in his hand in one breath, and called the gang members to walk towards the Black Cloud Society's base for help.
"Do you want to continue to follow and join in the fun?"
Ye Lan asked Luna. He had temporarily changed into ego equipment and eavesdropped when he heard the words "Sword Contract Group" from the vice president's words. To be honest, he really wanted to see what Master Jin Li was doing.
"Well, let's go. Luna, I have a feeling that if we follow them, we should see something very interesting."
"it is good."
The two made a quick decision. Ye Lan reached out and picked up Luna, jumping between rooftops, following the members of the Black Cloud Society slowly and moving towards the location where they were going to rescue them.
During their actions, the Rusty Chain Gang members who entered the library also met Angela, the library director.
"In other words, as long as we walk into that reception room and defeat the opponent in the reception room, we can take the book you have and leave."
"Yes, but if you lose the battle..."
"We will die in there and become your books here."
After a brief conversation, Kikan easily understood the logic of the library. For the Rust Chain Gang, this was just like their daily routine.
Go to a place, fight with the enemies there and win, take away their wealth and leave. It's simple and straightforward.
"Brothers, as long as we win this battle, we can leave with the information about the Black Cloud Society. The life or death of the Rust Chain Gang depends on our next battle."
Kikan explained the current situation to his brothers, and tried his best to boost their morale before entering the reception room to start the battle.
They all had some injuries on their bodies, and when they entered the battle in this state, their victory often depended entirely on that momentum that no one could clearly explain.
"Boss Kikan, if we fail this time, our gang will be in danger, right?"
A member of the Rust Chain Gang asked Kikan, who replied in the affirmative. These gang members, who were united by the same bravery and ferocity, looked at each other and showed a determined look.
Although the Rust Chain Gang is not a big gang, for these madmen who would rather endure the barbs on the chains for the sake of fighting, without the Rust Chain Gang as a gathering place, they will have no place to stay.
"Boss... even though the brothers are just idiots who only know how to fight, even idiots like us don't want our gang to be destroyed."
"Yes, Boss. If we can get the key information and leave if we win, why don't we win and show it to the people in the library..."
Seeing his brothers fired up with fighting spirit, Jikan also showed an eager smile on his face. The motivated members of the Rusty Chain Gang followed Jikan to the reception room.
Behind them, Angela said to them as always: "May you find the book you want."
Chapter 195. I haven't fallen yet, I will continue to write
"Let's go. If someone comes looking for revenge, we shouldn't let them get involved as enemies."
Hanafuda sighed and said to the leader of the beast group agency, Hongjian, who was traveling with him. Since the commission had failed here, they might as well retreat early to avoid becoming a scapegoat for others.
Unfortunately, although the idea of Hanafuda appeared in her mind quickly, she still could not escape the Black Cloud Society who had received a call for help earlier and had surrounded the entire intersection.
"Mr. Vice President, we didn't see the assassins from the Sword Contract Group, but we surrounded a group of finishers."
A young leader walked up to his vice president and reported all the situations he found in the encirclement to the vice president of the Black Cloud Society, who was followed all the way by Ye Lan and Luna without knowing anything.
And all the information he said was heard clearly by Ye Lan and Luna on the roof.
"Le, at this hour there are still unlucky cleaners who are surrounded by the Black Cloud Society just for joining in the fun."
"But the members of the Black Cloud Society didn't seem to ask what firm they were from... Don't they care?"
Ye Lan relayed the news about the young leader to Luna. The two of them talked in a low voice and soon decided to go and see who the roundups were.
As soon as they reached the intersection where the Black Cloud Society guarded all four exits, Ye Lan and Luna saw the wreckage of vehicles piled up in the middle of the street, burning with raging flames.
"One, two... five cars in total? Hiss, this must have been made by someone from the Sword Contract Group. He just cut it in half."
Ye Lan counted the car wreckage in the flames and shared his guess with Luna.
"Ye Lan, look at those vehicles over there... They look like the armored vehicles of the Second Association that we rode in when we went to Nest D before."
The little girl was not distracted by the piled up vehicle wreckage. She immediately spotted the finishing people who were surrounded by the black cloud.
Their biggest feature is that the vehicles they drive are almost identical to the armored vehicles used by the Second Association, except for the different paint jobs.
"He should be a closer from one of the offices affiliated with the Second Association. If he's driving a car, maybe he's here to chase after the wreckage?"
"Do you want to help them?" Luna asked.
"If the next group is the Sword Contract Group, I would be willing to help. But for a group of finishers... who knows what kind of valuables we will rescue."
Ye Lan shook his head and pulled Luna to sit down on the roof where they were standing.
Not long after, the vice president of the Black Cloud Society, followed by a large group of people, walked out from the intersection in the direction Ye Lan and the others came from, walked around the pile of burning car wreckage and human corpses, and walked to the side of these people who were finishing off the team.
Ye Lan, who was sitting on the roof, could hear their conversation through the amplification of his ego equipment: "We...are here tonight to cause trouble for a killer gang called the Sword Contract Group. You guys are naturally not our target."
"But, there must be a reason why you are surrounded by us, right? I don't ask for much. Just tell me why you came to this place and what you saw after you got here, and I will let you go in peace."
The vice president's attitude was quite arrogant, but none of the people present showed any displeasure towards his attitude.
After all, they were surrounded by the Black Cloud Society. The fact that the vice president was willing to negotiate with them was indeed a precious opportunity for Hanafuda and Red Falcon.
The two looked at each other and decided that Hanafuda would talk to the vice president: "We were following a commission and came to this intersection."
"Target?"
Hanafuda had just opened her mouth when the vice-president of the Black Cloud Society interrupted her next words.
"That pile of cars that are still burning."
"Oh……"
The vice president of the Black Cloud Society did not continue to ask questions. The targets of these finishers were not worth his attention. Seeing that he did not ask about the identity of the target, Hanafuda was naturally happy to turn the subject over.
"We actually lost them for a while... When we found them here, they had been cut in half and were burning along with the wreckage of the vehicle."
"So you didn't see who did it?"
“That’s… indeed.”
The vice president's face was not very good. He thought he could get some useful information from these finishers so that he could continue to track down the killers from the Sword Contract Group.
It turned out that these people were a bunch of idiots who knew nothing and wasted a lot of their time.
"Forget it, let you go."
The Jianqi Group is in the dark, and their Black Cloud will be in the light.
As for those who were finishing off the troops, they had armored vehicles that were obviously produced by the association that could be used as cover. Although they would definitely win if they took action at this time, if the assassins of the Sword Contract Group were still hiding around looking for an opportunity, they would expose fatal flaws if they started fighting at this time.
As the vice president, he would definitely not give the assassins of the Sword Contract Group this opportunity.
"Ye Lan, Ye Lan, the sister who was the finisher had obvious emotional fluctuations when she mentioned the target of the commission!"
Thanks to her talent, Luna could easily judge other people's emotional fluctuations. Although she couldn't hear their conversation and could only rely on Ye Lan to relay it, the little girl could see a lot of problems just by looking at it.
"It's interesting. It seems that the target they are chasing is definitely not that simple. When they leave here, we will catch up with them and ask them."
Ye Lan said to Luna, and stood up from the roof. The people on the street had boarded the cars one by one, ready to move to the exit that the Black Cloud Society would release.
The two of them followed behind the convoy, and after the convoy left the intersection and drove a block away, they jumped onto the roof of the vehicle where Hanafuda and Hongjian were.
Luna placed her hands on her moonstone, and her spiritual field instantly enveloped the finishers in the car. The illusion of the two of them appeared in the eyes of the Hanafuda group.
"Excuse me for disturbing you all, but I have a question for you." The illusionary Ye Lan said to the finishers in the car, "Who is the target of the commission you are chasing?"
Ye Lan and Luna who suddenly appeared in the car scared Hanafuda, Hongshun and other finishers. The two team members under Hongshun, the bodyguard finisher, subconsciously attacked Ye Lan's phantom.
However, the weapons they swung could only hit the air, and even scratched other companions around them. And to the driver who heard the noise and turned back, it seemed that the companions in the car suddenly went crazy and started attacking each other indiscriminately.
Chapter 196. I stopped taking cold medicine, but I was able to write...
"Damn it, why didn't you hit it!"
"Stop moving, you didn't accomplish anything except hitting your own people!"
Under the driver's horrified gaze, the finishers in the car went crazy, setting off an extremely terrible riot in the car. Several finishers were like crazy, waving their weapons desperately at the center of the car, even if doing so would hurt others.
Captain Red Falcon shouted at them, demanding that they put down their weapons immediately. His angry shouting made his face turn red due to lack of oxygen.
But even though he issued the order in time, there was still a finisher who was too slow to dodge and had his head cut off by his companions' weapon that pierced through the false figure that only they could see. The blood that gushed out like a fountain instantly dyed everyone red.
squeak--
The driver was so frightened by the scene that he was in a trance. He didn't even think of saying hello to the car behind him, and he slammed on the brakes to stop the leading car he was operating.
This action caused the other vehicles behind the convoy to start emergency braking, but due to the dense formation, even if they stepped on the brakes immediately, the vehicles behind still collided with each other one after another, causing a not-so-small car accident.
"What's wrong?!"
The in-car communication came with calls from the drivers of the following cars, but the driver of the first car had no time to respond. After the convoy stopped, Luna finally had the opportunity to expand her mental field, involving everyone in the nearby cars in the illusion she created.
In that illusion, the fake Ye Lan was still standing in the center of the car, and spoke to the cleaner in the car for the second time: "Alas, I've already said that I have no ill intentions. If you could stay calm, that poor cleaner wouldn't have died."
Sitting in his seat, not only was he not accidentally injured, but by coincidence the Beast Group Office's closer sitting next to him blocked his eyes from getting bloodstained, Hanafuda asked Ye Lan's phantom: "...What exactly do you want to do?!"
