Chapter 87 Single-handedly defeating the entire Rhine Lab: Himeru: Bai Xun?! 3k

When a person possesses both extraordinary wisdom and extraordinary power, the sole purpose of that extraordinary wisdom is to tell that person to use their extraordinary power to annihilate everything in front of them.

This is a lesson Bai Xun learned from Hai Hu. After all, throughout the entire Hai Hu series, those powerful individuals with extraordinary wisdom would always fast-forward directly to the fighting phase.

Facing this group of defense department members wearing the latest power armor developed by Rhine Labs, Bai Xun couldn't help but recall the days when he first left Kazdel and came to Columbia.

Back then, he pretended to be an Agorian and got into Trimont Polytechnic University, thinking that even without a cheat code, he could still make a name for himself in Terra with his amazing wisdom and understanding of the plot. He planned to first become a wicked capitalist in Columbia and enjoy life, then return home in glory to save Kazdel after making his business bigger and stronger.

Then, because of the evils of racial discrimination, his grand plan after graduation fell apart at the very first step—he couldn't find a job.

He even wanted to work as a security guard at Rhine Life, but he couldn't get the job.

God knows why Rhine Lab's security guard positions are so competitive, with everyone being from prestigious universities, and there's also the issue of his race.

Under normal circumstances, Saria would definitely not be racially discriminatory, but Blood Demon is clearly not an ordinary case. Bai Xun's disguise as Agor could not fool Rhine Lab's professional examination.

As a result, he unfortunately failed the exam.

I was eighteen that year, standing there like a lackey!

Disheartened, Bai Xun chose to leave Columbia and continue her journey across the land. After staying in various countries for a period of time, she finally chose to settle in Lungmen.

Looking at it this way, things really have changed...

"Give up resistance and hand over Ifrit!"

A deep, warning voice came from the power armor, pulling Bai Xun back to reality from her memories.

Feeling the temperature of Ifrit's small hand gradually rising as she gripped him, Hakuhiro, fearing that the little fire dragon would explode under the pressure, no longer hesitated. A jet-black straight sword that could spew fire instantly appeared in his loosely clenched hand.

Seeing that Bai Xun showed no intention of surrendering and instead raised his weapon, the members of the defense department immediately launched an attack. Bullets and crossbow bolts flew everywhere, their aim being to quickly deprive Bai Xun of her ability to resist.

"Face Hayate!"

With a slash of his longsword, Bai Xun created a wall of wind in front of him, blocking all the flying objects. After trying out the temporary abilities brought by Wendy's pseudo-Herrscher blood, Bai Xun nodded in satisfaction, his smile gradually becoming invincible.

"You think you can stop me?"

Even if I have to hold a little dragon in one arm, I, Haku, am still invincible against Rhine Lab!

Since Rhine Lab's designated combat force, Seraphim, is not around, Bai Xun spoke with great vigor.

He directly grabbed the still somewhat bewildered little fire dragon in his arms with one hand and tightly gripped the Jizo Mitama with the other, charging into the fray. The advanced and powerful power armor was no match for it, and the moment it was slashed by the Jizo Mitama, it was already corrupted by its power and became the prison of the pilot, no matter how much it struggled, it could not escape.

"I'm fucking raising the flag now!"

Come! Come! Come!

"You lowly creatures, you inferior beings, all shall fall before my Jizo-myo-no-Mitama!"

Blood Demon's innate physical attributes alone destined him to start as a business unit, not to mention that Bai Xun, after numerous adventures and enhancements, has already reached near-royal court-level combat power. Coupled with the power of the Jizo Soul's special attack on technology, who can withstand this enormous Rhine Life form?!

Nobody can withstand a damn mouth!

“Ah——!”

With my own strength, I will defeat the entire Rhine Life Corporation!

Ifrit, who was being held in Bai Xun's arms, had long since gone from being uneasy and awkward to being unable to hide her excitement and exhilaration.

With her bright, sparkling eyes, she looked at Bai Xun with adoration as he single-handedly defeated everything in front of her.

What arrogance! What domineering ambition!

It stimulates the warlike instincts of the Flame Demon fragments implanted in the Little Fire Dragon's genes in the most direct and profound way.

This made Ifrit feel her blood boil, and she couldn't help but wave her little fist to cheer Bai Xun on.

"Croak, what powerful teeth!"

"Warning: Security at the C11 passageway of the Structural Engineering Department is seriously out of control!"

Blinding red light and piercing alarm sounds were everywhere. In this chaotic environment, Little Fire Dragon felt his heart pounding, his clenched palms were soaked with sweat, and he stared intently at Bai Xun's profile as she held him in her arms, feeling an indescribable sense of security.

The heavily armed defense team members who kept pouring in couldn't stop him, nor could the angry shouts and pursuit from behind; nor could the heavy alloy gate stop him.

Until Bai Xun smashed and kicked down the last door in front of him, and carried Ifrit, who hadn't really left the laboratory for who knows how long, into the sunlight, he continued his grand escape into the sunlight, disappearing from the sight of all his pursuers.

Bai Xun, carrying the little dragon, rushed out of Rhine Lab and flew away amidst sparks and lightning, while Möbius, who had come with him, remained in the little dragon's "sickroom".

Completely ignoring the few researchers huddled in the corner trembling with fear and the defense team members groaning on the floor, he cheerfully pushed his wheelchair to the table, picked up a stack of experimental data about Ifrit, and began to peruse it with great interest.

"This young lady seems quite interested in my research?"

As a calm and steady voice rang out, an elderly Caprini with a kind and gentle appearance walked into the messy laboratory, causing Möbius to slowly raise his head to look at him, and then wave the experimental data in his hand and smiled.

"The chimerism experiment... although technically very rudimentary, the idea is still somewhat acceptable."

As someone who co-developed the "Fusion Warrior" technology with May and, in some ways, went further than Dr. May, Parvis's experiments on the little dragon could only be described as rudimentary.

After all, the Fusion Warrior technology and Palvis's chimera experiment are essentially the same technology, only far more advanced and profound than the latter.

"Simple... This is the first time I've been described like this."

Parvis shook his head slightly, his gaze towards Möbius filled with scrutiny and undisguised curiosity.

"You look very young, but I see the same qualities in you as I do. You must be a very accomplished scientist..."

"Don't try to glorify yourself."

Mebius scoffed at Parvis's words, haughtily raising her delicate chin.

"You are not qualified to be compared with me. You and your research make me laugh!"

"Summon your commander to see me. This place is only of interest to her."

..............

Meanwhile, in a laboratory of RheinLife Defense Technology.

The researcher named Hermer looked at the newly prepared medicine in his hand, his expression full of determination.

"With this, we can rescue Ifrit."

Himer has realized that her teacher is not treating Ifrit at all, but is conducting inhumane human experiments on her, and that even Saria and the entire Rhine Lab are accomplices of her teacher.

They justify their disregard for human ethics by calling it a noble sacrifice for scientific progress, but Himer simply cannot agree with it.

The essence of science is to make progress and benefit society and humanity. If progress is achieved by sacrificing morality and humanity, then it is undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse.

Therefore, Himer had to rescue Ifrit from the clutches of Rhine Life no matter what. Since she was powerless to resist her teacher, she could only resort to a special method.

By mixing the fake death drug into Ifrit's potion during the next experiment and injecting it into her body, they could create the illusion that Ifrit died during the experiment. Then, by taking advantage of the illegal body trafficking activities of the morgue staff, they could move Ifrit out of the morgue.

Just when Hermès thought everything was ready except for the final push, Albert suddenly rushed into the laboratory and told her some shocking news.

"Huh? What do you mean someone snatched Ifrit away first?"

"I don't know!"

Albert was also completely bewildered. He quickly inserted the USB drive into his laptop and opened the surveillance video that he had just copied.

"Ifrit suddenly disappeared for a few minutes, and when she returned, there was a man and a woman behind her. Then, the situation in the video unfolded. However, judging from the surveillance footage, the young man seemed quite concerned about Ifrit. Perhaps he was rescued by some kind of chivalrous organization that knew about Ifrit?"

Albert guessed uncertainly, but Himer had already given up on responding. Instead, he stared in disbelief at the white-haired youth in the video, once again lost in shock.

"This is... Haku Xun?!"

How could it be him!

.......................

"Bai Xun, Bai Xun, do you know Hermer too?"

In a snack street in Trimont, Ifrit, holding Bai Xun's hand in one hand and a candied hawthorn in the other, stared wide-eyed in surprise, unable to believe that Bai Xun also knew Hermer.

Bai Xun, however, didn't seem to care much about this. He just frowned as he ate the candied hawthorn he bought from the Da Yan Snack Street, which claimed to be the best in Colombia.

"It still tastes the same, but it's not authentic at all."

After complaining about the Colombian version of Chinese snacks, which hadn't improved much as ever, Bai Xun began to explain his past with Hemo.

"Back then, I was a top student in the Biology Department at Trimont Polytechnic University. Hamer was my classmate. We were assigned to the same group under the same professor and worked on two projects together to earn credits. She probably forgot about me long ago."

I reckon if we bumped into each other on the street and I greeted her, she would just tell her companions "we're not related."

As Bai Xun was thinking this, her gaze was drawn to a beautiful figure holding a green parasol in front of her.

The sun isn't very strong today, yet this person still needs an umbrella. Looks like they're unusually afraid of the sun...

Chapter 88 Hellish War God! Miu Miu, about to be baked by the sun (4k)

A girl with elf ears, holding a leaf umbrella, stood gracefully on the bustling street, so out of place with the crowds passing by on either side of her, as if she should have been an ancient and mysterious being, but had been abandoned alone in this era that did not belong to her.

Not only did Bai Xun notice this sun-fearing elf-eared girl who was quite conspicuous on the snack street, but Ifrit also spotted her.

He even forgot about eating the candied hawthorns, excitedly waving and shouting at the elf-eared girl in front of him.

"Mimi! Mimi, here she is!"

As if she had just noticed Ifrit calling out loudly, the girl named Muels walked towards Ifrit, who was still being held by Bai Xun's hand, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

With a light touch of his toes, Muels arrived gracefully before Ifrit, as if floating, to greet her.

"What a coincidence, Ciallo～(∠?ω<)⌒☆~"

"It's not a coincidence."

How could Bai Xun believe that this was really just a chance encounter? However, although Muels was one of the Ten Heroes of Rhine Lab, she shouldn't be considered his enemy based on her position in the Balrog incident, so he wasn't too wary.

"Eve, why did you run out?"

If Saria and Himeru are like parents to Charmander, then Muirses is Ifrit's "friend" in Rhine Life.

Although Muirses should actually be of the same generation as Saria, it doesn't stop Ifrit from treating this quirky and childlike older sister as her playmate.

Faced with Muirses' question, the little dragon naturally didn't hide anything and excitedly shared his adventures with his playmate.

"Bai Xun brought me out!"

He's so amazing, just like the elf in the story you and I told him!

"Yes, I am an Elven. You can call me Sunburnt. That is my elven name."

Bai Xun immediately followed the little fire dragon's words and introduced himself, causing Muels to blink in confusion.

"what?"

Elf?

Muels looked at the blood demon youth in front of him with a strange expression, who called himself Sun Roast.

If you're an elf, then what am I? And what kind of strange classification is the Elven race? There's no way elves could survive in an environment like Kazdel.

"Just kidding, I'm not an elf."

Bai Xun smiled apologetically, then extended his hand to Muels.

"Actually, my name is Bai Xun, an Agorian who is just doing this out of interest."

"..."

Muirses didn't expose Bai Xun's next lie after her previous one. Instead, she politely extended her small hand and shook hands with Bai Xun.

"I'm Muels, Eve's good friend. It's nice to meet you~"

The elf girl smiled sweetly at Bai Xun and naturally joined Bai Xun and the little fire dragon shopping together, only slightly behind Bai Xun by half a step, looking at the unknown person who was holding the little fire dragon's hand and buying her all kinds of toys and snacks from behind.

While inside the Rhine Life Ecosystem, Muels, who was resting his cheeks on his hands and pouting as he experienced the sensations of fluidity, became increasingly curious about Bai Xun.

This blood demon's concern for Eve doesn't seem fake. Where did this extraordinary person come from? Could he be from the Melander Foundation?

While Muirses was still pondering, the little dragon who had walked to the fountain in the park couldn't help but share with Bai Xun about his friend "Mimi".

It's perfectly normal for children to introduce their playmates to new friends, hoping they'll get along well and play together.

"Bai Xun, Miao Miao is really powerful! She knows that Hell War God you mentioned, and she's at level five!"

"What?! It's actually the hand of a fifth-level War God!"

Bai Xun was immediately shocked upon hearing this, and the little fire dragon, seeing this, also tugged at Muerses' sleeve and pleaded.

"Mimi, Mimi, please perform that again~"

Although he didn't know when his manifold clone had acquired the inexplicable name "God of Hell," Muels could only clench his little fists under the little fire dragon's coquettish advances and use his innate magic to manipulate the water molecules in the fountain beside him.
