Chapter 162 The Dice Monster's Blitzkrieg at Superhero Tower (Part Two)

On the 45th floor of the Super Hero Building, in the commander's private office.

"The Dice Monster must have used some kind of invisibility ability to jump from the highest point nearby to the surface of the Superhero Building, otherwise the alarm wouldn't have sounded so late."

Che Zhengchen stared at the projector screen through his glasses, explaining to Blue Owl as he did so.

"The Dice Monster?"

Blue Owl murmured the name, then said, "What's this thing doing at the Superhero Building? It can't be carrying a nuclear bomb and coming here to take the Superhero Association down with it, can it?"

“It’s quite possible.” Che Zhengchen’s expression was serious. “We’ve been paying close attention to this character, even though his behavior doesn’t seem very logical.”

As he watched the projection screen, he said, "Although we don't know who his target is, or which part of the association building he's targeting, he's already reached the thirtieth floor. Above this level are the resting areas for some of the association's elite heroes, and someone will be moving to stop him soon..."

As he spoke, Che Zhengchen's expression suddenly changed: "Wait, it seems like he's coming for us!"

On the projected screen, the Dice Monster was using spider silk to spiral upwards along the surface of the Superhero Building, traversing the sky like a trapeze artist in a circus.

Because it keeps changing, sometimes appearing on the west side of the building, sometimes on the north side, and sometimes flying to the east side, it is impossible to tell where it is going.

One thing is certain: it is steadily flying towards the top of the building.

Then, as it approached the thirty-ninth floor, it suddenly shot out a spider silk that stuck to the high-altitude work platform, swung up in a circle, and landed on the platform's railing.

Then, he activated the safety restriction release, quickly bent down to gather his strength, stepped on the railing, and shot upwards like a gray lightning bolt, instantly traversing several floors.

"Quickly press the button behind the vase on your right. That thing can activate the metal protection mode on the window side of the office."

As he spoke, Che Zhengchen quickly stood up from behind his desk and turned to look at the floor-to-ceiling window behind him. But at that moment, his pupils contracted slightly.

A gray humanoid figure, as graceful as a dragon or snake, rose into the air and appeared outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Its face wore a mocking, eerie smile, and its empty pupils shimmered with a deep, dark light. It remained suspended in mid-air, briefly exchanging glances with Che Zhengchen.

The next moment, two spider silk threads shot out from the web-shooter on the right wrist of the Dice Monster, and the web, like a deadly hand, stuck to the French window.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed a spider silk thread in each hand, exerted force with both arms, and shot forward, kicking through the French window with a fierce momentum.

boom--!

From among the countless pieces of glass that were falling like a torrential rain, the Dice Monster once again lowered his right arm and accurately shot out a spider silk that caught Che Zhengchen's back.

Then, using his right hand to hold onto the spider silk, he instantly pulled Che Zhengchen towards himself, and then used one arm to clamp his neck, dragging him down with him to the ground below the tall building.

Blue Owl's right hand was pressing on the "metal defense switch" behind the vase, and he was stunned when he saw this.

"I rely on?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a metal shield descended rapidly from above the floor-to-ceiling window, attempting to cover the entire window.

But before the metal barrier could descend, the blue owl sprinted forward, gliding through the broken window and then crashing down from a height of 159 meters towards the steel city below!

At this very moment, the Dice Monster and Che Zhengchen are falling straight down the glass curtain wall.

The glass curtain wall reflected the dice monster's wide grin and Che Zhengchen's terrified and shocked expression.

He gripped the Dice Monster's right arm tightly with both hands, but dared not exert any force, because if the Dice Monster really let go of him in mid-air, he would have no chance of survival.

Che Zhengchen's pupils contracted to the size of wheat awns. He could hardly believe that he was actually in the Superhero Building. Did this criminal not think about how he would escape from the encirclement of hundreds of superheroes after attacking the Superhero Building?

Or perhaps he's just a madman who doesn't consider the consequences of his actions.

The rapidly descending airflow lifted Che Zhengchen's gold-rimmed glasses, squeezing his face so much that it was almost distorted, obscuring the details of his features. His meticulously styled slicked-back hair, which he had carefully done that morning, was now a mess of loose strands.

At this moment, all the superheroes stationed in the association building have been mobilized, with superheroes possessing the ability to fly attacking the Dice Monster from above.

It also includes familiar faces like Platinum Wings and the Psychic Sister.

One of them spread out silver-white wings and chased after the Dice Monster; the other used telekinesis to wrap his body and carried her down to the ground like a pale blue sphere.

The superheroes who lacked the ability to fly quickly arrived on the ground, standing at the bottom of the Superhero Tower, waiting for the Dice Monster to fall.

One of the superheroes, "Balloon Man," has the ability to inflate his body. So he puffed out his cheeks, took a deep breath to fill his lungs, and his body, dressed in a yellow suit, suddenly expanded, especially his huge belly, which became like an airbag.

At the same time, Blue Owl also rappelled down from mid-air, attempting to approach the Dice Monster. His plan was simple: at the moment he was close to the ground, he would use "phase shift" to swap positions with the Dice Monster and bring Che Zhengchen back...

But this idea was too risky, and he was too late. He was unable to get within eight meters of the Dice Monster.

Before the Dice Monster could reach a position large enough for the Blue Owl to perform Phase Shift, just as it descended to a height of seven meters, a doorway made of densely packed religious text suddenly appeared directly below it. At that moment, this eerie doorway radiated a sacred and inviolable light.

The next moment, the Dice Monster and Che Zhengchen fell into the door that was glowing with holy light in mid-air, and then disappeared along with the door.

They escaped without a trace right under everyone's noses.

Seeing this, Platinum Wings paused in mid-air, flapping its wings to maintain its upward momentum, and stared blankly around: "The Dice Monster... has disappeared?"

The psychic nun also manipulated her psychic sphere, stopping beside him. "I just saw a golden door. It disappeared after it hit that door."

"Is it a superpower..." Platinum Wings asked thoughtfully.

"I don't know." The psychic nun shook her head, then suddenly looked up at the sky, her tone shifting, "Wait, isn't that a blue owl?"

"Blue Owl? What's he doing here?"

Platinum Wings paused for a moment, then turned his head to look as he spoke. He saw the Blue Owl glide past them not far away, plummeting straight towards the ground. "Wait, he's falling! Why aren't you saving him?!"

“I can barely keep myself afloat with my psychic powers, how can I save him?” the psychic nun asked.

"Damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Platinum Wings flapped its wings violently, creating a gust of air as it hurtled downwards.

On the ground in front of the Superhero Tower, someone shouted at Balloon Man, who had turned into an inflatable balloon and was lying flat on the ground: "Balloon Man! Move your position quickly! The Dice Monster is gone, but there's a falling superhero over there!"

"It's a blue owl!"

"He clearly can't fly, so why did he jump down with the Dice Monster?!"

Balloon Man originally inflated his belly to catch Dice Monster and Che Zhengchen, but suddenly Dice Monster disappeared, and in his place, a superhero fell from the sky, falling at a certain distance from his position.

This series of unexpected events caught him completely off guard.

"I don't have time to adjust my position, one of you needs to catch him!"

Balloon Man shouted in a muffled voice, releasing all the air he had been holding in, causing his chubby body to quickly return to its original size. He scrambled to his feet, looking at the blue owl plummeting from the sky with a terrified expression.

Blue Owl thought he could use phase shift to switch positions with nearby superheroes, and the kinetic energy from the fall would disappear the moment the position was changed, something he had tested before.

If he didn't need to worry about what others thought, he could use the "Super Heroic Landing" to be on the safe side. But at this moment, he was using the Blue Owl alias, and if he used the Super Heroic Landing in front of everyone, he would be indistinguishable from the Dice Monster.

It doesn't matter, though. There are a lot of superheroes surrounding the spot where he's about to fall. He can land safely by using phase shift to switch places with them.

However, just as he was about to hit the ground, standing ten meters above the ground, a sudden swirling black raven feather swept past his eyes. Immediately afterwards, thousands upon thousands of ravens swooped down from above like a vast, dark cloud, completely enveloping the blue owl and surrounding him in the center.

The blue owl was lifted into the air by a flock of crows that appeared out of nowhere. They gently flapped their wings and slowly lowered the blue owl to the ground at the bottom of the building.

Upon witnessing this scene, all the surrounding superheroes fell silent; they all knew who had made the move…

The blue owl stared blankly upwards, only to see a figure shrouded in a black cloak standing in the very center of the flock of crows. As the crows dispersed, the figure revealed its true form.

"Remember to think before you act..."

After saying this, the raven glanced coldly at the blue owl through its beak mask, and then, accompanied by a loud whirring sound like the flapping of a giant bee's wings, its figure vanished in an instant, leaving only a flurry of raven feathers scattered all over the ground.

Chapter 163 The True Face of Gastro

Five minutes after Che Zhengchen was kidnapped by the Dice Monster, in a hidden basement connected by an alley in the Rainbow Lights commercial district.

This cramped and damp basement was designed like an operating room, with a bed covered in a clean white sheet in the center, and nothing else.

At this moment, the Dice Monster and the Anti-Dog were standing by the bed, while Che Zhengchen lay unconscious on the bed.

Anti-Dog was still wearing that trench coat, and his face was covered by an Ultraman mask.

Neither of them spoke; they remained silent.

The anti-dog was writing in the notebook. He lifted the notebook and saw the words written at the top: "This is the first time I've seen you appear in front of me like this."

The Dice Monster grinned, typed in the notes app on his spare phone, and held up the screen: "So what? You think I'll scare you?"

To prevent Gastro from having the worms inside Che Zhengchen's body overhear their conversation, the two could only communicate in this way, like two mute people exchanging words, or like a comical silent play.

"I'm just not used to it yet." Fan Quan continued writing.

The Dice Monster typed, then raised his phone screen, which read: "We need to hurry, or the Blue Raven might find this place any second now."

Anti-Dog tried to adjust his glasses, but only managed to reach the Ultraman mask blocking them. He wrote, "It's not that serious. This place is very secluded, otherwise I wouldn't have specifically bought this basement from those drug dealers."

"So what are you planning to do?" the Dice Monster typed.

“After seeing the news, Gastro would normally use the insects to control Che Zhengchen’s body immediately to check the situation,” Anti-Dog Writing said. “But now that Che Zhengchen is not moving, it means the insects cannot control a person who is unconscious. So we don’t need to rush, we can take it slowly.”
