It is not possible to awaken magic directly for the time being, but I have a clue. Don't worry, the mission will be completed by contacting the wreckage of the disaster beast.

However, she did not receive any prompts to complete the suggestion. The thought made her tense. In other words, the danger was far from over, or even just beginning? Could it be that they were trying to lure her into a trap? To put it another way, she could not refuse the high reward from the system.

"...You seem to have no trust in us. The transaction was obviously completed very well, wasn't it?" Heisha said darkly.

"Anything else to say?"

"We might as well try to join forces to fight against the Changfeng Zaibatsu."

Mu Jin's eyes widened, thinking that she was right in her guess. She was identified as being related to the largest enterprise in Ningfeng Port. This was good, at least it proved that her disguise was correct.

She probed, "What are the benefits? And who can guarantee the chances of winning?"

"Of course you are free. You must have been infected as well, and had to take their medicine to barely survive. But I have mastered the method of actively integrating the infection... You have experienced it, the exhilarating feeling of sublimation of the level of life. I have investigated you, you are very mysterious, but none of it matters. The key is that we can plan together, why not consider making some money?"

The man in the suit seems to be friendly and discussing things, but in fact he is tense and ready to strike. Negotiations and threats coexist. If you are not careful, you will be surrounded.

Mu Jin hoped to have a few more words to get information, but the other party was tight-lipped, and the system task had to start again for the time being...

boom!

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a door in the corner of the office being knocked open. A girl in school uniform, who was tied up with all her clothes, fell down with a thump along with the chair. The handkerchief in her mouth finally came out of her mouth, and she immediately blurted out: "Hero, help me——"

This unfortunate kid Jin Ruochu is really restless.

The manager was so furious that his face was twisted. He took out a dagger and gestured, saying, "You won't learn your lesson if I don't mark your face."

The next moment, a chair flew into the air and hit his back hard, causing him to fall to the ground and faint.

Li Tian pressed the button on the desk without even looking at his useless subordinate. Then a group of armed men rushed into the room and surrounded it, with dozens of guns aimed at the masked man in black.

"Are you trying to save someone? Or are you really a bodyguard? Never mind. I'll give you one last chance. Cut off one of her fingers and that's it."

Hearing this, the naive and naive Jin Ruchu finally showed fear on his face.

Mu Jin walked in front of her to block her. Jin Ruochu's expression just eased but then she was stunned again, including the gang members, because the masked man in black unbuttoned his jacket and hung grenades all over it. Without saying a word, he directly pulled the pull ring and threw it out. Almost at the same time, the girl hugged the hostage and rolled into the next room.

Boom!

No one could have guessed that the intruder could detonate the grenade so cleanly and efficiently in a small space. The fragments instantly penetrated the human body, tearing flesh and blood, creating a bloody storm.

How could ordinary people know that Mu Jin reacted with superhuman speed before pulling the trigger and used levitation to resist damage. The two girls were safe and sound, but the office was in tatters and half collapsed. The building quality was worse than expected.

Mu Jin brushed off the dust on her body and untied the rope for Jin Ruochu. The latter was thanking her profusely when he was hit on the head.

"I'm not your bodyguard. Be careful. There won't always be rescuers."

"Yes, you are a brave hero."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Jin's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly hugged the girl and flew over. A strong wind of magic blew behind her head. Even so, her back ached slightly, and she was afraid that her internal organs were injured.

Turning back, I saw a giant two meters tall, inflated like a balloon, and covered in crystals. He turned out to be Li Tian. Although his appearance had changed greatly, he was still recognizable. Could a human body undergo such a huge change in a short period of time? In any case, the pressure could not be faked. The other party actually used magic power, which was even similar to the aura of the disaster beast. If Mu Jin had not been reminded by netizens, she would be stunned at this moment.

Wait! The remains of the disaster beast disappeared, and life reactions appeared in the crystal giant. What's going on?

"Fusion technology exists, and dad really made it happen." Jin Ruochu murmured.

"I have a lot of questions to ask, but now is not the time." A bottle of purple reagent appeared in Mu Jin's hand and she drank it all in one gulp. "Go quickly, I can't take care of anything else next."

Chapter 12 Time Stops

Swallow the small strengthening potion.

The system reward was indeed extraordinary. In an instant, Mu Jin's heart was beating wildly and pumping out hot blood. The whole body was rising and materializing magic power, distorting the vision. Her senses were unprecedentedly sharp, and her strength was abundant and boundless. She was ready for a fight.

The reason why she dared to venture into the dangerous place was because of the potion. At worst, she would have to fight the enemy. She had to clear the Storm Gang dungeon today.

Li Tian's face was moved and he murmured, "No, this is not fusion technology!"

"There are so many things you haven't seen before."

"It doesn't matter. You and Jin Ruochu will die here. I don't need hostages anymore."

The next moment, the crystal giant disappeared. The schoolgirl who was rubbing her eyes and observing suddenly saw a tall shadow in front of her. Her fist made a sound like a cannonball. However, she was firmly caught by an arm in the middle. Then the black-clothed masked passenger Yuan hit Li Tian's chin with a high-end substitution. The crystal shell shattered and the two-meter-tall man flew backwards, knocked down three walls and fell into the dance floor, scaring away countless guests.

Mu Jin felt a piercing pain in her arm. It turned out that she had broken her arm due to the blow she had just taken. She gritted her teeth and adjusted the bone by feeling with a click, and finally the feeling felt better.

"Don't you understand the current situation? I can't protect you. Don't hold me back. Leave on your own, or we'll die together."

“…It’s dangerous at home too.”

"Although I don't know the situation in your family, one thing is certain: you must be there at the critical moment and don't miss any opportunity. Otherwise, you will be at a loss when the family relationship falls apart. Go home quickly, or stay at that port for a while. Jin Ruochu, goodbye."

The girl in school uniform was slightly startled and then nodded solemnly. This was not the time to be hesitant. Even though she really wanted to ask the name of her savior, she had to swallow it.

"Don't forget that I still owe you two million in cash."

When Jin Ruo first saw the young man, he did not stay and simply ran away. He was very sensible at the critical moment.

Li Tian sneered: "It seems that you are indeed Changfeng's running dog. What a pity. I want to kill you as a sacrifice."

"Just try."

Mu Jin stretched her muscles and felt that her internal injuries had recovered. It was no wonder that the strengthening potion had improved her overall combat power. However, the time was short, estimated to be at most 5 minutes. She had to fight quickly, otherwise she would be trapped and doomed.

She had just tried the eye contact hypnosis technique but it had no effect, and the levitation technique that always lingered around her body could not weaken the impact either. It turned out to be useless once a serious battle began.

The crystal giant roared and rushed forward, as fast as a cannonball, smashing the wall with a bang, twisting the steel bars. However, the scene in front of him turned black, and it turned out that Mu Jin dodged at the critical moment and covered his face with her coat. Li Tian was caught off guard and flew backwards. The explosion covered the crystal with fine lines and then shattered it, protecting his body from fatal injuries.

It only penetrates armor and does limited damage. What a strong defense! Hibiscus can't launch an attack comparable to dozens of grenade explosions.

"So you are an outsider, and you don't know about disaster beasts from processed TV programs?"

"Anyone who has seen them will understand how weak their weapons are. My defense is not even one percent of theirs. Of course, their attacks are even more exaggerated."

Before he finished speaking, the crystal body disappeared on the spot and punched the target in the face. The wind pressure was almost suffocating, but Mu Jin reacted in an instant, moved around, grabbed the arm, crossed her legs and stomped hard.

With one grappling move and full body kinetic energy, the opponent fell to the ground with a thud.

The two men smashed through the floor and rolled into the basement.

A bar in a small building could not withstand such large-scale destruction by both sides. Customers and waiters fled in panic. The loud noise was like fireworks that shook the entire block. The police, who had been paying attention to the Storm Gang, soon received the news. The sound of sirens wailing came rushing in from afar, and all of them were fully armed anti-terrorism armored vehicles.

Ordinary civilians stayed away from them. They didn't know what kind of monster these evil guys had provoked to end up like this, but it was always a good idea to keep a distance from them.

Click!

In the dim basement, a crystal knife pierced into Mu Jin's abdomen, causing blood to flow and severe pain all over her body.

She didn't expect that the crystals wrapped around Li Tian's body could actually change shape slightly, and as a result, he was attacked by surprise. Even his body with all attributes over 100 could hardly withstand it.

However, it was not as painful as she had imagined and she could not move. The girl took a few steps back, covering her wound. For some reason, the power became more and more powerful, as if she was resonating with something. The world had never been so clear, and a strange clarity lingered in her mind, making her forget her injuries.

Li Tian stumbled to his feet from the ground, panting.

It must have been painful for him to be the cushion when falling. The shoulder that was kicked was broken and drooped by his side, and his fighting ability was greatly reduced. However, the opponent who was stabbed was even worse off. He would die from excessive blood loss alone. If he dragged it out, victory would still be his.

But the noise of the crowd and the sound of sirens made Li Tian anxious. If he didn't resolve the fight quickly, he might not be able to escape. While the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind.

"You will die if you don't get treatment--"

Before he finished speaking, the man in black raised his head and drank a bottle of scarlet liquid. Then his wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his breath became stronger than before.

Mu Jin had already spent a small strengthening potion and a small blood recovery potion. The sunk cost was so high that she had to defeat the Storm Gang. The next moment after drinking the red liquid, the girl flashed and rushed forward. Before Li Tianxian could react, she kicked him in the abdomen without the protection of the crystal. His internal organs churned and he spit out blood. It wasn't over yet. Another punch hit the place where he had just kicked, completely crippling his left arm.

It was bad, very bad, it was so fast that he couldn't see, each punch was more powerful than the last, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't maintain consciousness.

"Leave far away!"

Li Tian roared, and the crystals all over his body shattered into scattered raindrops that splashed out in all directions without blind spots, and each piece was enough to tear steel apart. At zero distance, Mu Jin had no way to avoid it, and the chill of death flowed through his body. When the first fragment pierced his body, the world was stained with gray.

Everything in front of her seemed to be frozen, except her, who was safe and sound. The space was filled with wisps of silver sand, like a stream flowing in an unknown direction, beautiful and dreamy.

Magic, the sands of time.

A name popped up in Hibiscus' mind, and then she understood its initial characteristic: time suspension.

——But it is the most useless kind.

When time is suspended, anything she touches will unfreeze it, and the inertia remains unchanged, such as the first crystal fragment still hits her body. Only when the world is suspended can she take whatever she wants to leave, which is just to separate herself from the normal flow world, a different kind of loneliness.

The true meaning of the Sands of Time is to leave room for tragedy to be prolonged, like praying that the moment a family is torn apart will be delayed.

"The touch will release it, but the inertia of the applied force will continue." Mu Jin murmured to herself, and mournful cries came from all parts of her body, indicating that the magic was approaching its limit and the power to pause time was about to end.

In the last moment of miracle, an index finger pointed at Li Tian's forehead which was not protected by crystal.

boom!

The world was dyed with new colors, and a headless corpse fell in the rain of blood.

Chapter 13

The principle is very simple. When time is stopped, all the strength is accumulated and a finger is used to poke out with the smallest area to easily smash the head.

Mu Jin half-knelt on the ground, panting, with severe pain all over her body and weak limbs, she couldn't muster up any energy. Obviously, freezing the world is the most magnificent, most consuming, and most essential way of the Sand of Time magic. But it has little to do with strength. According to news reports, all disaster beasts have super regenerative power, and some individuals can't die even if they are shot in the head.

She glanced cautiously at the crystal giant's corpse, but fortunately there was no movement.

It will be difficult to deal with situations such as an enemy with high health that you cannot kill with one strike, an enemy that regenerates or revives after being killed, an enemy with strong defense that cannot be broken, or an enemy that traps you in a closed space.

Too restrictive, too weak.

The enemy will definitely be able to learn from the flaws that Mu Jin could think of. The legendary time magic is not as powerful as imagined.

Suddenly, the corpse in front of her twitched, and the force was so strong that it almost sat up. The girl immediately tensed her muscles and grabbed a bottle of magic potion in her hand. If there was any abnormality, she would drink it all and activate the time pause again. She would not stop until she cut you into pieces to prevent resurrection.

She watched helplessly as the flesh and blood of the corpse melted and collapsed towards the center, the blood, flesh and bones all coalescing and transforming into a thick blood vessel, vivid and full of evil.

Did Li Tian use the remains of the disaster beast? Or did the remains eat Li Tian? The thought is terrifying.

Mu Jin didn't think much about it and took away the anonymous banknotes, cash, bank cards and other valuables scattered on the ground.

beep!

The system prompt sounded in her mind: "Rewards: 30 free attribute points, 1 gift stone fragment, 5 draws, 10 yuan in cash, issued." The girl felt relieved. It was not because of the generous reward, but because of the confirmation of the news that the Storm Gang had passed the level, including the complete death of the big boss Li Tian. After a hard battle full of twists and turns, and saving a certain unlucky lady by the way, the dignified quasi-magical girl almost died here, and almost died before she could accomplish her mission.

Just as Mu Jin was about to pick up the wreckage and run away, her body froze. The system camera, which remained on, discovered that a special anti-disaster beast force was quickly approaching.

The leader is a woman with a teardrop mole on the left corner of her eye. Her medium-length hair is tied into a single ponytail, which makes her look neat and tidy. She is holding a gun and gesturing to order the team members to take their positions and suppress each other. As a young captain who has made outstanding contributions in several disaster beast infection incidents, everyone in Ningfeng Port knows the hero Jin Yulu.

How come the great hero in the eyes of the citizens has the flavor of a disaster beast?

It's amazing.

Since the magical girl's physique gradually awakened, the other side of the surface world has bared its fangs at her, and the special attack force that protects the people is now standing on the opposite side of her. Unfortunately, there is no time to sigh, and Mu Jin rolled over and hid in the blind spot of the concrete support column.

She took out the Colt M2000 pistol from her waist. It was quite funny that she had not fired a single shot even after killing her way through the rainstorm. The other party should understand guns better than magic.

Besides, considering my current exhausted physical condition, bullets might be more effective.

After placing the body in the bunker, Mu Jin continued to explore the breakthrough point through the omnidirectional camera. Unfortunately, the entrances to each side were heavily guarded. The basement was prone to a fight between trapped beasts. The only reliable place was the garage door, which was not far away from her, but if she tried to run over, she would be exposed to artillery fire. The elite troops who could handle the infection incidents were all equipped with large-caliber guns and heavy firepower, and she dared not take risks even at full status. It would be great if she had another bottle of strengthening potion.

"Hey, the guy hiding behind the blue and white load-bearing concrete pillar at 7 o'clock, you don't think that thing can block our firepower, do you?"

Jin Yulu's signature cold voice echoed, but in fact it concealed the silent encirclement of her teammates. They didn't even look at the wreckage and gathered towards the living people.

"You sign in for work, and I go home after get off work, isn't that good? Why cause casualties?"

"This is for disaster control. If you are an ordinary person, you should come out openly. Why hide your head and show your tail? But everything can be discussed. We are very interested in the affairs of the Storm Gang. Maybe we have common topics. The premise is that you cooperate."

"How to cooperate?"

"Come out of the bunker with your hands raised above your head, then half-kneel and finally lie on the ground waiting for us to deal with you. The court will give you justice."

As the two were talking, Jin Yulu and his subordinates got closer and closer, and dozens of infrared rays were sweeping over.

"That means surrender."

"I don't like this word, it should be called cooperation."

"I surrender. Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything. Don't accuse a good person." Suddenly a series of shrill shouts startled the special forces. During this gap, several grenades rolled out from behind the concrete pillars.

"Get down!" Jin Yulu hadn't finished speaking when she found that no one had opened the ring. She thought to herself, "Oh no!" Then a black shadow came over four people and attacked her.

It was incredibly fast but she still pulled the trigger instinctively. However, the next moment her right hand twisted behind her back and her whole body bent.

What inhuman speed!

In one encounter, he suppressed the battle-hardened captain and knocked out four people. The masked man in black showed off his skills and made the whole audience silent. Even though they had experienced countless fierce battles, they still couldn't believe that a completely human form could have such powerful strength. If they met a tough guy, it would be difficult to end well.

After Mu Jin pointed the gun at Jin Yulu's temple, everyone dared not act rashly.

"Do you know what you are doing? Don't be stubborn."
