Chapter 49 The Gap in Awareness
Two more bullets, precise headshots, eliminated two assassins.
Even blurring it out won't help.
Self-aim?
Hey! Someone here is cheating!
Liu Bai could see that Ji Zi hadn't actually aimed; she had simply called out a name and pulled the trigger.
And these names are... coffee-producing regions?
"Colombia!"
It seems we have to call out their names?
But it didn't matter. After witnessing the power of the opponent's bullets, Liu Bai's goal was to deplete the opponent's gun.
There's only one bullet left, and three assassins remain.
Even if the Soul Reapers didn't have the ability to teleport, they were enough to drive Himeko, an ordinary person, to a dead end.
"The final shot—the Mexican Ghost Pepper!"
boom--!
The violent explosion swallowed up the three assassins in mid-air.
boom!
Immediately following, a bullet shot straight at Liu Bai from the smoke of the explosion.
“…There’s more.”
Himeko's lips twitched as she looked at the Spirit Assassins blocking Liu Bai's path.
"Why did it suddenly turn into a Mexican chili pepper at the end?" Bai complained as he released the assassins.
"I like it, I want you to take care of it!"
Himeko had no choice but to run, trying to take the opportunity to reload.
boom!
"Alas--!?"
Liu Bai had a clear advantage, and Gui Naifen also gained the upper hand.
The thrown firecrackers once again repelled the petite girl in front of him.
"Thank goodness, it seems I'm still pretty strong after all."
"Woo..."
Seele gripped her scythe tightly, watching the situation on Himeko's side, unsure whether she should turn the blade against the enemy.
"Is it really necessary to continue fighting? You can take your companions and run for your lives... Otherwise, I won't hold back anymore. What's that saying again? Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future~"
Seemingly sensing Xi'er's vulnerability, Gui Naifen threatened her with a stern face.
To be honest, she was a little nervous about her first real fight.
In addition, the other party's harmless appearance made Gui Naifen reluctant to continue fighting.
But it's not entirely intimidation.
If the other party continues to be relentless, Gui Naifen will have no choice but to be prepared to bleed.
She... wasn't unfamiliar with dead people.
She had seen everything she was supposed to see, including the deaths of her relatives in battle, the destruction of her home planet, and the passing of her elders.
When her brother was captured as a pirate, she was prepared for the death of her entire family.
Although she was reluctant to take away the life of a girl the same age as her sister, she was about to actually kill her.
Perhaps this girl has her own difficulties, but she also has people she wants to protect.
Having gone through so many hardships in my life, I am no longer the helpless child I once was... It's time to come to my senses.
"..."
Seemingly sensing some kind of determination from Gui Naifen, Xi'er's hand, which was gripping the scythe, trembled slightly.
(Seele, leave it to me. The difference in your awareness compared to hers is too great.)
"Never."
(well……)
“I’m not going to fight Qi…” Hearing Jiu’s reply, Xia Gui Nai Fen sighed with regret. Her usual frivolous and cheerful expression disappeared, replaced by a cold and aloof one.
"Huh? No—"
clang--!
In an instant, the rusty steel bar was aimed straight at Seele's throat, and Seele barely managed to block the attack almost entirely on instinct.
(So fast...!) Seele broke out in a cold sweat.
(It's you who's hesitating, Seele.)
Clang clang clang clang—!
Hit, crack, cover, press, stab, pound, block, and seize.
In Gui Naifen's hands, the steel bar was a weapon, and her attacks were as fierce as a storm. Xi'er's occasional counterattacks were easily neutralized.
(If you continue, you will die. Let me do it.)
boom--!
Gui Naifen used one hand to hold the "gun" and suppress Seele, while using the other hand to steadily catch the tranquilizer dart flying toward her head. She then casually tossed the dart aside and glanced at Himeko, who was pointing the gun at her.
"Tsk, she even realized that? Let's go! Seele! The operation has failed!"
Seeing this, Himeko merely lamented the irrationality of the world before completely disregarding accuracy and beginning to fire tranquilizer darts in rapid succession.
This time, Gui Naifen did not take the hit head-on, but chose to jump away.
Her ability to catch bullets with her bare hands is more like acrobatics; she can easily catch a single bullet, but when faced with bursts of fire, she will still get hit even if she tries to catch it head-on.
"Understood, Professor!"
Himeko's fire support relieved the pressure on Seele, allowing her to gracefully leap over the speed bumps and Titans, just as she had done on the way there, before catching Himeko as she jumped down from the sky.
The Titan mechs, which were originally a burden, have now become excellent rearguard units.
"No—"
"Alright, alright, calm down, Xiao Guizi."
Liu Bai pressed down on Gui Naifen's shoulder from behind as she tried to rush out, while simultaneously having the assassins apply a slowing effect to her.
"You're taking this too seriously. The other party didn't intend to kill you... Well, sometimes kidnapping is more terrifying than murder."
"what……"
Gui Naifen seemed not to have reacted yet.
"Gui Naifen? Little Gui? Guinevere, my dear?"
Liu Bai turned Gui Naifen over and patted her face.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh! The pressure is immense! Boss! Why is that girl even more stubborn than Shangshang? What did we do to deserve this? Is it really necessary?"
Gui Naifen threw the steel bar aside and started rolling around on the ground.
"The pressure of fighting is immense! It's even greater than the pressure of trying to eat noodles upside down for the first time!"
Hmm, looks like you've come to your senses.
"So you ate it up your nose?"
"Hmm—no, that's not the point! Boss, your focus is really strange!"
"No, because the messy sight of someone failing at eating noodles upside down is more appealing than the disheveled result of doing it, isn't it?"
"No wonder no one wants to see me eat noodles upside down—I've already said the point isn't eating noodles upside down! You should be focusing on the stress I'm under!"
"Then you'll keep rolling?"
Liu Bai squatted on the ground, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at Gui Naifen.
"I think watching pretty girls roll around is quite interesting; it could be a paid program."
"It's hard to imagine the mental state of viewers who pay for this show."
Gui Naifen kicked her leg and jumped up.
"Anyway, are we safe now?"
No, look over there.
Liu Bai pointed to the Titans, who were still crawling along the speed bumps like snails.
"Go, take them apart, Xiao Guizi."
"Ah... um, boss, I just strained my back."
Gui Naifen slowly lay down.
"Ouch... my poor, unlucky back!"
I have absolutely no desire to fight this thing that looks like a golden statue!
"The Golden Men aren't so bad, are they? They're just elite monsters, though they're pretty disgusting."
"It's easy for you to say that when you're not the one suffering—but for me, my back is killing me right now! Ouch!"
"Then let's run away. Anyway, no one is blocking our way now. Let's find a window and climb over."
“Hey, you should have said so earlier.” Gui Naifen jumped up and said, “Let’s go, let’s run away. Let me tell you, we street performers may not have many other skills, but our ability to run away is absolutely top-notch. By the way, boss, you didn’t even stop that woman. I almost got riddled with bullets.”
"Yes, yes, I'll be more careful next time."
[Gui Naifen's Favorability: 4454]
Chapter 50 Is this how you guys play the game?!
"Why are you back?"
Gray Snake looked at Liu Bai, who had brought Gui Naifen back to Shencheng Medicine, and spoke with a strange tone.
Where are the ravens?
"Who?"
"Raven."
"?"
Liu Bai and Gui Naifen exchanged a glance, both looking completely bewildered.
"...You guys ran away on your own?"
"Well, we were lucky, and they were careless." Bai glossed over it, then took out all the electronic devices on his body. "The people who kidnapped me are Anti-Entropy. Take a look at how they located me."
I can still get caught even though I'm acting erratically. What the hell is this?!
"No need to look anymore, your bracelet has been hacked."
Gray Snake glanced at the black bracelet that Liu Bai handed over.
"They set up background programs in the bracelet? You guys dare to use this stuff?" Bai was somewhat astonished.
“Because we also set up other programs,” Gray Serpent replied coldly. “This bracelet has been completely hijacked. But I’m curious how Anti-Entropy knew the serial number and IP address. Did you give the bracelet to someone else?”
To put it bluntly, Grey Snake bought Anti-Entropy's civilian smart bracelets, then implanted viruses or something to hack the bracelets and turn them into their own products.
Then this time, the reverse entropy brought things back.
However, physically washing a wristband is simple, but locking a wristband without physical contact is relatively troublesome.
In other words... there was contact.
