Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 120 The Way of War
——Have you been discovered?
How can it be? !
But at this moment, Caroline had no time to be surprised, as the flames that were powerful enough to melt steel surged violently, and a sharp edge emerged from the red-gold flames!
She activated the "Hurricane IT Type" without hesitation.

Then, everything came to a standstill.

No, to be more precise, the world in her eyes at this moment became extremely slow, as if a strand of time was infinitely stretched - whether it was the terrifying flames or the sharp blades, they were all slowed down, advancing bit by bit.

Accelerated by the advanced neural implant, Caroline's consciousness seemed to rise to a higher dimension, overlooking all things in the past.

Furthermore, it drives the body!

The originally empty ceiling suddenly fluctuated, and a large area of ​​blurry pixels flickered and faded away, revealing Caroline's true face and the high-frequency dagger she was holding in her reverse hand.

Almost at the same time as she appeared, she rushed forward and slashed towards Song Shi's neck.

——That’s it.

As her thoughts were stretched to their limits, Caroline couldn't help but think of this idea.

The so-called "strength" and "life and death" have never been an equal relationship.

When it comes to frontal combat, I am no match for Xu Tong and Dennis, but with the help of my specially constructed equipment and prostheses, I am enough to keep them awake all night - no one would be willing to offend an "assassin" who can spy on them all the time.

From the intense nerve acceleration, Caroline could see every move of the person in front of her, and she knew that she had made the right bet. Although it was not clear how the other party ignored the disguise of the "Panmot Lizard" and found her position, her speed and reaction were indeed significantly better than the other party. Next.
The “assassin” only needs one strike to kill someone!
A moment determines life or death.

The high-frequency dagger, which was powerful enough to easily cut through special alloy armor, was about to touch the target's neck. Even when Caroline began to breathe a sigh of relief, something strange happened.

The single-molecule knife, whose movement trajectory was originally visible to the naked eye, suddenly accelerated in an instant, spun around, and intercepted the high-frequency dagger that was almost within reach!
Then, he exerted his strength, using the dagger as a medium, grasping its owner and smashing him back along the original path!

Thanks to the balance-enhancing effect of the implanted "mimetic gyroscope", Caroline adjusted her posture in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground.

"Why are you—"

The words of disbelief came to an abrupt end, because Song Shi jumped out with the Steel Crow raised sideways, and before slashing out, flaming stars quickly emerged and blasted towards the passage ahead!

Saturation fire coverage.

But Caroline is indeed worthy of the title of Senior Executive Commissioner.

Without trying to turn around, she accelerated again in a "reverse" posture under the state of neural acceleration, retreating and shuttling between the gaps between the flaming stars, forcibly avoiding most of the flames - but a few wisps of flames still stained her body.

But in just a tenth of a second, the part that was stained with fire actually bounced out directly and turned into scattered ashes in mid-air.

——[Hollow carapace].

A protective module added to combat uniforms, distributed independently. Each shell has a certain cavity inside. When attacked, it will automatically pop out to reduce the impact force. When the shells are linked together, they form a complete [cavity shell].

Song Shi recognized the equipment and also saw the other party's intention.

The cavity and ejection function of the "cavity carapace" prevented the "embers" from getting stuck and being unable to get rid of them, increasing its own fault tolerance. There was no doubt that this was a specialized equipment countermeasure specifically designed for Caroline before she came to stop him.

——Unfortunately, it’s not enough!
Caroline's pupils suddenly dilated.

Because in front of her, the flaming stars that were about to appear disappeared, and were replaced by a red-gold flame tide that filled the entire aisle and crushed over!

Is there a "hollow carapace" as a countermeasure?
Then everything will be completely burned with flames.

There is no more hindrance.

The Steel Crow and the Butter Cutter collided again. With the infusion of the "Forging Flame" and the burning effect of the "Embers", the Steel Crow chopped the latter into pieces! Then, it was unstoppable and chopped into Caroline's heart!

So, the dust settled.

Caroline stumbled a few steps and collapsed with a loud bang. She was only able to half-kneel with the help of her prosthesis and not fall down completely.

"——Are there any last words?"

Song Shi suppressed his smile and looked down at her.

When the latter didn't answer, he nodded slightly and was about to urge the embers.

"You, why did you react? It's obvious that your reflexes shouldn't be..." Caroline spat out blood, raised her head abruptly, her eyes full of unwillingness.

"Intuition, or instinct." Song Shi said succinctly: "When a marble is shot at the eyes, even ordinary people can close their eyes in advance, but after closing their eyes, they will realize what has just happened, and their 'reaction' at that moment will exceed the original 'limit'."

"You must learn to trust and control your instincts, because they are forged through countless battles and bloodshed."

"How can it be"

Caroline opened her eyes wide, trying to find a teasing look on the other person's face, but all she saw was indifference.

She suddenly realized that the other party was not lying to her. This was what her "instinct" thought.

"Wait a minute, one last question..."

Ignoring the scarlet pop-up window in her artificial eye that kept popping up, "Warning! Warning! Your physiological functions are rapidly declining!", Caroline stared at the person in front of her, feeling her body getting colder and colder, and panted, "What about my 'Panmot Lizard'? It's all mimicry. You don't have the psychic skills and equipment to see through mimicry!"

"But you. Why is this happening?"

"While we were talking, you were trying to find my flaws, and I was working backwards to track your location."

Looking at the other person, Song Shi gently tapped his chest: "The moment you heard me explain the 'embers', your 'heart' was in turmoil."

"——This is a fatal flaw for the 'Assassin'."

Caroline gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to say something, but the mercy of "the dead are greater" ended there.

Then, flames surged out from the Steel Crow that had sunk into its heart, instantly engulfing the latter and turning it into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Eight bright red-gold balls of light emerged from the silence.

Song Shi stretched out his left hand, took two of them, and inserted them into his body.

Then, because of the fierce fighting all the way here, the spiritual energy and physical strength that had originally become somewhat dim quickly replenished again.

——Psionic Skill: [Spark].

After these days of polishing and training, the upper limit of my fire seeds has increased to eight, compared to the twenty-four at the peak of the second ring in my previous life. In a sense, this means that I have now completely consolidated my promotion to the second ring and am in the lower stage of the second ring.

But unlike most psychics, he was not restricted by his psychic skills and could withstand this kind of burden - even if he was at the lower second ring, his strength was far superior to theirs.

In other words, the classification based on the number of psychic skills possessed does not apply to oneself.

"call--"

Song Shi exhaled a breath of burning air.

Then he raised his head slightly and looked straight ahead.

A little further ahead is the location of the host - this is what Harold told him. He is already close to there, but not long ago, he suddenly silenced the communication channel and no longer sent any new messages.

Going to rush over...

Just at this moment, in between the two.

In the distance, behind a makeshift disposable shelter that appeared at some unknown time, people looked over with fear. They raised their weapons but were afraid to pull the trigger.

But these people did not retreat after all.

They carry combat recorders that record their every word and action. Many times, Jade Pharmaceutical's punishment is far more terrible than death.

"Very good. Very good. Now it looks like you are planning to kill someone."

Then, a happy smile appeared on Song Shi’s face again.

The war between life and death, the battlefield of iron and fire, will not leave any room for cowards and hesitant people.

The young man raised the Steel Crow, facing the roaring rain of bullets, he laughed and stepped forward, the flames moved with the wind, turning into a tide of flames that pressed down.

"--Come!"
