Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Chen Duo's fighting style leans towards magic, and she can use Gu to perform various spells. Her physical strength is relatively average, and she lacks particularly destructive moves.

As the saying goes, if you don't have enough quality, make up for it with quantity!

Therefore, Chen Duo decided to try attacking Fang Rui's defenses with dense and high-frequency attacks to see if she could break through them.

"Squeak..."

Sharp and dense cries came from all directions. Fang Rui, who was warily observing his surroundings, suddenly had a bad feeling. The sharp cries awakened some memories in him, and a creature he hated appeared in his mind.

He was immediately met with the realization that his fears had come true. A swarm of black-furred, filthy rats came from all directions, their scarlet eyes seemingly indicating their lack of reason.

Looking at the dense swarm of rats that would make anyone with trypophobia faint, a chill seemed to run down his spine and up to his head, making his scalp tingle and giving him goosebumps.

Grass (a type of plant)!

At the same time, the sight of rats running through the streets reminded Fang Rui of something, such as who the girl who controlled the rats was.

After a brief recollection of the previous events, Fang Rui vaguely understood the cause and effect of the matter; simply put, it was a misunderstanding…

Before the rats could surround him, Fang Rui immediately jumped up, hovering in the air on a skateboard made of twelve throwing knives, and shouted:

"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

As he spoke, Fang Rui put the mechanical puppet, the Devouring Beast, and the Soul-Shaking Bell back into his Devouring Pouch, trying his best to show his goodwill.

Of course, he did not retrieve the throwing knife; he remained standing on it, hovering in the air.

Because the group of rats was trying to pounce on him by building ladders and jumping.

Because of Fang Rui's sudden change in attitude, Liao Zhong and the others exchanged glances for a moment, then remained vigilant and did not continue their attack.

After all, the other party was quite sincere.

What do you mean by "misunderstanding"?

Judging from the other person's appearance, he didn't seem to be lying, so Liao Zhong asked, "Let's hear what the other person has to say."

"Simply put, I didn't know you were from the All-Knowing Path. When I saw her and another superhuman rushing towards me, I assumed they were going to eliminate me, an innocent bystander, so..."

Fang Rui did not explain what happened next, but Liao Zhong and the others could imagine it. Besides, it was something that actually happened, so they knew it without even imagining it.

"Although your statement is reasonable, it is only your side of the story, and I cannot believe it."

"Then what do you want to do? Arrest me?" Upon hearing this, Fang Rui's eyes narrowed. "Don't think that I'm being nice to you now because I'm afraid of you. I can fly away at any time, and you can't stop me even if you want to."

Upon hearing this, Chen Duo immediately asked curiously, "Then why didn't you fly away before?"

The air fell silent instantly, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.

Chapter 15: The Misunderstanding Resolved

Facing those inquisitive, emerald-green eyes, Fang Rui turned to the side and said in a very "natural" tone, "Let's not talk about irrelevant things anymore! Let's get down to business..."

He's changing the subject.

The middle-aged man with a buzz cut, who once shouted "Kamen Rider Kabuto," crossed his arms and said in a nonchalant tone.

"Yes, you can tell that the way they changed the subject was obvious and abrupt."

The middle-aged man with gray hair next to him nodded in agreement; Fang Rui's behavior was too obvious, it was obvious at a glance.

"Chen Duo, come here, let's stay away from him so he doesn't get angry and hit us!"

Liao Zhong didn't lower his voice at all; his gruff voice echoed throughout the entire street.

"Well, okay~"

Chen Duo obediently ran towards Liao Zhong, her eyes never leaving Fang Rui, as if she was genuinely worried that Fang Rui might suddenly attack her.

Fang Rui: (?°?д°?)

Even a clay figure can have a temper. The interaction between the four people in front of him was like a provocation to his face, successfully igniting Fang Rui's anger. He said with a "friendly" smile, "Very good. Your arrogant behavior has successfully ignited my anger. Draw your weapons!"

"Ahem, don't get agitated."

Liao Zhong coughed twice and quickly tried to calm Fang Rui down. He didn't want to continue fighting Fang Rui; he had almost strained his back while dancing with twelve throwing knives earlier.

If you do it again, he'll definitely hurt his back.

Moreover, he had witnessed Fang Rui's previous actions. During the escape, he did not kill the interceptors, but only knocked them unconscious. He also did not kill them during the fight.

The only person with more serious injuries was the target of this mission.

After all, Fang Rui was just an ordinary person not long ago, so it was impossible for him to become ruthless in just a few days. For him, the severity of the blow was about the same as the one that was injured this time.

All indications suggest that Fang Rui is not an accomplice of the mission target.

But as a law enforcement officer, he chose to remain skeptical and investigate further before making a decision.

For example, why is the other party here?

And the other party's identity...

Possessing so many magical artifacts and mechanical puppets, one should not be an unknown person.

"Shall we talk somewhere else?" Liao Zhong extended an invitation.

Fang Rui raised an eyebrow slightly: "You just provoked me and then invited me to chat? Your attitude is really arrogant!"

"If what I just said made you angry, I'm willing to apologize," Liao Zhong said casually, patting his helmet.

"There's absolutely no sincerity involved; it sounds very perfunctory." Fang Rui said expressionlessly.

"What do you want?"

As an official law enforcement officer, Liao Zhong follows the rules. Since the person in front of him is most likely not an enemy, he will not use any harsh methods.

Of course, this is on the premise that Fang Rui doesn't go too far. Once provoked, Liao Zhong will decisively switch to unreasonable mode.

Should we follow the rules and reason?

What the hell! Let's beat him up first!

"First of all..." Fang Rui raised his right hand and pointed downwards, saying expressionlessly, "Let these rats stay away from me first, otherwise, when my patience reaches its limit and I lose my temper, even I'm afraid of myself!"

Loss of Reason buff: Effects include: all-around attribute boost, increased destructive power, and unpredictable attacks.

"Chen Duo."

Liao Zhong turned to look at Chen Duo, who was standing quietly to the side. Chen Duo nodded slightly, opened her mouth, and a black mist shot out. The black mist quickly sank to the ground and spread rapidly along the ground, encompassing all the rats within the range of the black mist.

After a while, the rats, which had been in a state of frenzy, quieted down and fell down one after another, lying on the ground with peaceful expressions. Then the black mist dissipated.

"That's incredibly efficient! If you opened a pest control company, you'd definitely make a fortune!"

He first offered a casual compliment, then casually gave a suggestion, before turning to the other two who had been making sarcastic remarks and saying, "And then there are you two, don't you know how to be considerate of others? Have you no sense of decency? Apologize to me!"

"Oh~ I'm sorry~" the two said insincerely, their tone quite perfunctory.

"Tch~" Fang Rui curled his lip, "I can't be bothered arguing with you. Didn't you want to chat? Come with me!"

As he spoke, the throwing knife carried Fang Rui to the side.

It wasn't that Fang Rui didn't want to come down, but rather that the area directly beneath him was teeming with rats, leaving him nowhere to put his feet.

Liao Zhong and the others exchanged glances for a moment, then stepped forward to follow.

The group walked down the street, but it felt wrong not to talk to each other, so they started chatting about something.

"Why don't you get off the throwing knife?" Liao Zhong, walking to Fang Rui's left, looked up at Fang Rui with a displeased expression.

Ha~ Do you want me to tell you that my legs are not very convenient now and that my walking posture is not very good?

He glanced at him casually and made up an excuse: "I think it looks cooler this way."

Liao Zhong: "…………"

What are you talking about?

Why did you call that mechanical doll "Kamen Rider Kabuto" before?

The gray-haired stranger behind Liao Zhong looked at his companion on the right and said.

His companion replied, "Oh~ that's one of the characters from a tokusatsu drama. I've seen that drama before, and because he's a main character with a lot of screen time and a very distinctive personality, I remembered him~"

"You watch tokusatsu dramas?" The gray-haired alien looked slightly surprised.

The man with the buzz cut retorted confidently, "What? Can't I watch tokusatsu dramas?"

"No, I'm just a little surprised!" The gray-haired alien shook his head.

The throwing knife spun Fang Rui 180 degrees so he was facing backward: "So, do you watch anime?"

"I won't look." The strange man with a buzz cut shook his head.

"What a pity," Fang Rui said regretfully.

Upon hearing this, the company employee with the buzz cut didn't seem to find it a pity at all. He asked the question that had been bothering him: "Did you make that mechanical puppet?"

Liao Zhong and the other person also looked at Fang Rui. Based on Fang Rui's previous fighting style, it could be determined that he was a weapon refiner. Moreover, considering that Fang Rui possessed so many magical artifacts, he was very likely from a long-established weapon refiner family.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to produce so many magical artifacts; those artifacts must have been left behind by his ancestors.

Divine artifacts are different from magical artifacts. A normal artifact refiner can only refine a limited number of magical artifacts in his lifetime, while divine artifacts can be made as long as there are materials and skills.

Oh right, we also need to add "rich," the cost of mechanical puppets is not low either.

"Of course I made it, isn't it cool!"

Fang Rui raised his head slightly, his tone carrying a hint of smugness.

"He's pretty handsome." The man with the buzz cut nodded in agreement.

What's so handsome about him?

Liao Zhong and the other person looked at each other for a while, and could both sense the other's confusion and speechlessness.

Chen Duo did not participate in the conversation, but quietly gazed at the neon lights shining in the night.

Chapter 16 If you don't like it, then change it.

The group chatted about trivial things as they slowly made their way along the street. After turning left at an intersection, the scene before them changed dramatically, with dazzling neon lights at the end of the street.

The two adjacent streets seemed to be two extremes, one quiet and deserted and the other noisy and bustling. Between the two streets, one dimly lit and the other brightly lit, several vans with the "Na Du Tong" logo were parked.
