I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

He wants to take back his sister, he wants to take back Ilya.

This is the responsibility of being an older brother!

"Give Ilya back!!!"

With a roar, the boy brandished his blade, forcefully blocking the monster's howling slash. A fierce gust of wind swept up at the moment of their collision, overturning nearby cars.

Shirou Emiya's feet were almost completely embedded in the concrete ground beneath his feet, and his arms were trembling uncontrollably, but this time, he did manage to block the monster's single-handed slash.

"Give me Ilya—"

Amidst a frenzied howl, Shirou Emiya forcefully pushed his blade, deflecting the broken giant blade from the monster's hand.

"Give it back!!"

A thrust, a piercing strike—Shirou Emiya's blade pierced the monster's chest for the first time.

"■■■!!!"

The next moment, amidst the monster's equally frantic roar, Shirou Emiya was kicked away, flying high into the air like a kite with a broken string, crashing through the parking lot ceiling, and rolling back onto the street.

The monster's merciless attack shattered Shirou Emiya's entire chest cavity.

However, he quickly stood up again.

The powerful magic nourished his body, repairing his shattered heart and bones. Shirou Emiya's pupils were filled with a chilling killing intent as he stared intently at the monster that had crashed into the ground and returned to the street.

Without a word, the boy and the monster charged forward at the same time.

Amidst the piercing, metallic clanging sound, Shirou Emiya forcefully blocked a slash from the monster, his foot pressing a crack into the ground. He wielded his twin swords, constantly exchanging blows with the monster, who held a broken blade in one hand. Each strike brought with it a piercing sound and a burst of air.

Emiya Shirou couldn't count how many times he swung his blade, nor how many times his body collapsed. When the blade shattered, he would project another one; when his body was damaged, he would use the magic power of his arms to repair it.

The giant blade that the monster had taken from him earlier was already broken, but with just his arms and fists, it was enough to easily shatter the blade in Shirou Emiya's hand. However, each blow would add a wound to its body.

But even so, it will not back down. For the girl it wants to protect, it will not back down even a step, just like the boy in front of it who is on the verge of madness.

This irreconcilable battle must result in one side paying the ultimate price.

…………

I apologize for the long hiatus, but all my energy is currently focused on the new book.

Of course, it's not right to start a new book before finishing an old one, but this one is performing really poorly. Even if I diligently work hard and update frequently for a month, I'd only earn a few hundred yuan. Just relying on my hobby, I simply can't sustain it. In fact, there are only about twenty readers currently following it. In other words, there are only about twenty readers who have actually read this far from the one million-plus words mark.

Of course, I will definitely finish this book properly. This is a responsibility to myself and to the readers. However, considering the current situation, I will focus most of my energy on the new book first. As for this one, I can only update it as I see fit for now.

Chapter 19, Section 377: Chaos and the Great Collapse

This underground base is collapsing.

Li Cheng broke through a wall, slamming two soldiers to the ground. Before he could stand up, a sudden, violent tremor nearly knocked him over.

Someone is destroying this base?!

With a roar like that of a wild beast, Logan pierced a soldier's head with his claws, smashed through a wall, and stepped into the corridor where Li Cheng was.

"I feel like this godforsaken place is about to collapse."

Ignoring the blood and semen splattered on his body, Logan took out a cigar from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and casually said to Li Cheng.

"Yes, it seems someone wants to bury the secrets of this place completely."

As Li Cheng spoke, he conjured a flame and lit Logan's cigarette.

"I guess we are one of the secrets that will be buried as well."

Logan smiled and exhaled a puff of murky smoke.

“You have a better sense of humor now than when we first met, Mr. Logan.”

Li Cheng unleashed his demonic power, condensing a purple light shield to block a series of incoming bullets. He then smiled and said to Logan beside him.

"I've always had a good sense of humor, it's just that you don't have the eye to see it."

Logan smiled, charged through the hail of bullets, and charged straight at the soldiers. His claws pierced from his knuckles, flashing a blood-red light in mid-air, instantly killing them on the spot.

Boom!

Amidst the deafening explosions, the walls on both sides of the corridor began to collapse once again. Li Cheng dodged several falling stones, while on the other side, several soldiers who were rushing out were buried by the collapsing corridor, not even having time to scream.

"It looks like this godforsaken place is really going to collapse."

As Li Cheng felt the increasingly intense tremors in the area, he couldn't help but speak.

"What, are you trying to run away?"

Logan smiled and casually smashed a boulder that fell from above.

“How could that be? I still have someone I need to find inside,” Li Cheng laughed. “However, I probably can’t wait for you any longer. I have to speed things up.”

"Don't underestimate me. I'm not so old that I have to pant after just a few steps. I don't need you to respect me."

As Logan spoke, he turned and smashed through the wall beside him, charging into a group of soldiers who were scattering and fleeing.

Despite looking unshaven and old, this guy is surprisingly energetic when it comes to fighting.

So, it's time to go find them.

The kidnapped Illya and Shirou Emiya, and his long-lost old friend.

Li Cheng's figure seemed to transform into a purple phantom, moving forward at several times the speed of before in the constantly collapsing corridor.

More and more rooms began to collapse, and countless falling rubble buried the researchers and soldiers who had no time to escape.

Screams echoed through the rubble, then quickly faded away, while many other sounds were immediately drowned out by the crashing sounds of the collapse, as if they had never existed and no one had heard them.

Logan tore through a twisted iron door and burst into a hall that was on the verge of collapse.

We can't find the two children who were taken away here either.

Logan glanced briefly at the hall before him, preparing to turn and head to the next place to search, but the next moment, his gaze fell on a figure lying on the ground, and his movements stopped.

"It's...you..."

He stared intently at the man lying helplessly on the ground, his anger almost palpable.

rub!

Sharp metal claws shot out from between Logan's fingers in the blink of an eye, gleaming coldly in the flickering lights.

"Ah, it's you..."

The old man lying on the ground, Stryker, looking dejected, turned around and saw Logan slowly walking towards him. For some reason, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"I see, so this is what that person meant by 'fun'?"

Stryker, unable to stand up any longer, revealed a smile that was hard to tell whether it was self-mockery or mockery of someone who wasn't there.

"As far as it's supposed to be funny, it's really unimaginably awful."

"Streik!"

Amid the man's exclamation, Logan pounced like a raging wolf, his six sharp claws piercing the man's chest, completely penetrating his lungs and heart.

"Ughhhhhh—"

Amid the man's agonizing screams, Logan roared, pulling out his claws, then piercing through again, pulling them out once more, and stabbing them through once more.

"You took something from me."

As Logan stared intently at the man's face, contorted with pain, his rage intensified.

"Is that so? Then tell me, what exactly did I take from you?"

Stryker laughed loudly, meeting Logan's gaze without flinching. Then, his already riddled chest was torn apart once more by Logan's claws. With a piercing scream, the man's life began to slowly come to an end.

"This time, you won't have another chance to escape."

Logan, having completely torn Stryker's body apart, stood up, spoke in an icy tone, and slowly turned and left the collapsing hall.

Yes, this time, I've lost everything.

The man, who could no longer make a sound, sighed in his heart one last time. In the last moment before his vision was about to go dark, he saw the ceiling falling towards him and heard the sound of his body being hit hard.

This hall, which was originally filled with various technological devices and carried the dreams and desires of men, finally succumbed to the continuous collapse and completely crumbled.

Under the sunlight, violent explosions resounded throughout the vast city. Amidst the intense shaking, resembling an earthquake, large swathes of land began to crack and collapse. Many skyscrapers shattered their glass with a deafening roar, and entire buildings began to sway and crumble.

However, for those still fighting in the collapsed underground, this moment is something they cannot see.

Li Cheng killed a huge soldier wearing heavy powered armor on the spot with a shock punch, dodged two or three falling boulders, and walked to the bottom of the base.

A simple yet heavy steel gate stood in his way, but with the surrounding environment constantly collapsing, the gate had become severely distorted.

With ease, Li Cheng knocked the door open, revealing everything behind it to his eyes.

Li Cheng couldn't help but shrink his eyes.

…………

I'm here to pretend to be a corpse, and then I'll leave.

Chapter 20, Section 378: Friendship at the End

They have always been friends.

They fought side by side, from ordinary superiors and subordinates to brothers who could entrust each other with their lives, becoming friends for many years. Even after Li Cheng fled the Huaxia Alliance, Tie Feng searched for him for many years.

For Li Cheng, Tie Feng was his brother and a true friend.

"...I'm late."

Deep within the constantly collapsing underground base, Li Cheng gazed ahead at the man slowly approaching him. In the end, he could only sigh softly and clench his fists.

"Sorry……"

In the end, all of Li Cheng's words could only turn into a sigh.
