Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 325 017. Hu Mo Chen Xiang vs. Xin Hu (Part 1)

After settling Meng Tu in, Jin Ziyue lifted Snaku's tent flap. The sunlight outside was dazzling, and with his head dangling in a drunken stupor, his legs felt unsteady, and his steps seemed as if he would stumble at any moment.

But his mind was perfectly clear, and once his eyes adjusted to the light, the cloudiness in Jin Ziyue's eyes had faded.

Humans always have selfish desires. If reality becomes increasingly cruel, one might subconsciously want to linger in this hazy state for a few more seconds.

But—it only lasted a few seconds.

He checked his phone and found a message from Fu Xun:

Something's up.

"That woman looks like she's being followed."

Ruolan is on her way.

Where are you? I'll come pick you up.

"Qi Tongshan is hiding in that unfinished, abandoned building nearby."

The last message was sent ten minutes ago.

Jin Ziyue's heart tightened. The organization's actions were faster than he had imagined. Without thinking, he quickly activated the life essence within his body.

【Spending all her money】radiated an active energy curve, and Jin Ziyue also cooperated by pulling out a handful of paper He Shi coins from his pocket, about a thousand yen (He Shi currency unit), which spontaneously combusted without wind and turned into ashes.

At the same time, Jin Ziyue's drunken state was completely dispelled, and his steps became faster and faster. Before long, he regained his vigorous stride.

[All the wealth gone]

The holder has an extremely strong ability to squander money. Any money, currency, or other material with savings value can become a consumable when it belongs to the holder. Starting with "thousands", the holder can dissipate all physical and non-physical things around them. The effect of dissipation depends on the value of the consumable.

He had just stepped onto the street when Fu Xun's newly acquired secondhand X5 drove up from afar.

Jin Ziyue quickly got into the car and asked, "How's the situation now?"

"At least there's no bad news. Chen Ruolan said the assassin sent by the other side seems to be a woman dressed in a very strange way."

As soon as Fu Xun saw him get into the car, he quickly stepped on the gas, shifted gears, and with a screech as he turned, the car quickly turned around and disappeared into the colorful traffic.

"woman?"

Fu Xun glanced at him: "You've been drinking?"

"No problem."

"No, just call me next time." Fu Xun's expression remained unchanged.

The shops outside the car rushed past, new road surfaces kept appearing, and every time a car came into view, Fu Xun would accelerate and overtake it as if weaving through the gaps.

Tell me more about that assassin.

"He must be a foreigner, blond with blue eyes and tanned skin. He was wearing very little clothing, like crop tops, camouflage, and denim shorts. He had abs and must have a lot of fighting experience. His headlights were very bright."

“Abilities, weapons,” Jin Ziyue corrected bluntly.

"These are Chen Ruolan's exact words. I don't know the specifics." Fu Xun looked indifferent to life and death, focused on driving, and stared straight ahead at the road.

"Can you still contact her?"

"Her earpiece seemed to have fallen out; I kept calling, but she didn't answer."

"It seems things aren't looking good."

……

"Boom, boom—"

The sound of cement and steel bars collapsing came from the old building in the distance.

The red bricks and black cement only formed three layers of enclosure. Above that, only sturdy pillars supported the entire structure of the building. It was drafty on all sides, and the protective bamboo frame creaked and groaned. The green plastic netting, however, concealed the interior, leaving much to the imagination.

Then, a long, booming tiger roar pierced the air, its powerful sound like a high-powered motor exploding in one's ears, making the heart of the listener tremble and causing the entire unfinished building to rattle.

Suddenly, the bamboo stretcher on the fifth floor burst open, and a huge drumhead bulged out from the green netting, as if it had stopped some terrifying impact. A huge beast thrashed and fell, tearing the plastic netting apart one after another, and its black and white fur could be vaguely seen.

When the heavy object, mixed with building materials and countless lime and cement, landed, it stirred up a cloud of dust, and the beast vanished into thin air.

At the edge of the fifth floor, Chen Ruolan, covered in dust and dirt, gripped a steel bar on one side and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she has a tiger-like appearance and her given name is "Tiger Silent Incense," she is still not as fierce as a real tiger.

Unfortunately, she encountered this female assassin, who seemed to be a beast tamer. In just one encounter, without saying a word, a large black-spotted white-browed tiger, which she had summoned from somewhere, chased her and bit her up to the fourth floor.

Qi Tongshan was still running upstairs when the sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the stairwell. Chen Ruolan, ignoring her breath, immediately began to run wildly down the unrepaired cement stairs.

"Damn it, I'm afraid I can't keep up with this speed." Chen Ruolan changed her mind and immediately went to find her weapon case. The appearance of the black-spotted white tiger was too sudden, and she didn't have time to open her equipment before she was caught off guard.

"Beep beep beep beep." She quickly entered the password and fingerprint recognition. After a sharp crackling sound, the box separated along the fine mechanical lines. "Switch to spray device."

At the command, the various parts of the mechanical housing seemed to come alive, rapidly flipping and deforming. As the gears and turbines rotated, two wings emerged from the inside, and four ring-shaped metal strips tightly bound her shoulders and ribs.

As the sound of the turbocharger's accelerator grew clearer, Chen Ruolan pushed off the ground, and the thrusters reached their peak. The powerful thrust propelled her back to the ceiling. Fortunately, the staircase was like a corridor with a large open space in the middle, allowing her to use the jet propulsion device without restraint.

On the upper floor, a woman screamed shrilly. At the same time, the roar of a wild beast echoed from the dark corridor. Chen Ruolan was startled. Hadn't that monster already fallen down?
She quickly realized that the beast in question must be a summoning spell, like a black-spotted tiger that could appear out of thin air and be summoned back at any time.

"A command, is that it!" Chen Ruolan shouted, her voice drowning out the thrusters. "Then let's try this!"

rub--

The rising airflow produced a whooshing sound effect.

The [Tiger Silent Incense] was distributed in an umbrella shape, and as Chen Ruolan ascended into the air, the domain of silent destiny spread out.

Qi Tongshan crashed against the wall, watching in panic as the giant black-spotted tiger was about to pounce. Its tamer was a brown-skinned Middle Eastern woman with a cold expression. She had drawn her bow and arrow and was aiming towards Chen Ruolan's stairwell, ready to shoot her as soon as she came up.

Just as Qi Tongshan witnessed the tiger opening its blood-red maw at close range, its roar shaking her soul, an invisible wave of energy swept over, and the tiger, like a pencil drawing being erased, gradually had its lines dissolved, and finally its gaping maw disappeared, leaving only foul-smelling saliva dripping onto Qi Tongshan's face.

She was still somewhat shaken; having narrowly escaped death, she didn't dare to breathe and immediately tried to sit up.

On the contrary, the organization's assassin also found that her inner tiger had suddenly lost its function. Without hesitation, she turned around, drew her bow, and shot the arrow to its full extent as quickly as possible towards the target she was tasked with assassinating.

Qi Tongshan felt an almost solid killing intent above her head. The piercing arrowhead gleamed with a ghostly light and was silently shot out the instant she looked up.

Her internal organs were still aching from the tiger's pounce, and her movements were restricted, so she couldn't dodge at all!

Qi Tongshan could only watch helplessly as the arrowhead magnified before her eyes, the black arrowhead arriving in an instant!

Dang clang——

Faster than an arrow was a woman who shot towards them like a worker bee.

Chen Ruolan used the turbine device immediately, timing her movement to avoid the arrow's trajectory, and narrowly blocked the deadly arrow with the mechanical device on her back.
