Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Then, to Sherlock's astonishment, Anna used an FN57 with a silencer to headshot the two security guards at the back door. Afterward, Anna rummaged in her bag and pulled out some things that looked like putty.

After sticking these things to the cracks in the main door, Anna did the same thing to the emergency exits.

Just when Sherlock and Zhao Weike thought this thing was meant to distract the enemy during their assault, Anna, having finished her task, returned to the car.

Just as Sherlock and Zhao Weike were wondering what was going on, Anna inside the car pressed the detonator, and the next second, the door covered with putty burst out with blinding light and heat.

Sherlock and Zhao Weike immediately understood what Anna had posted.

It wasn't a C4 bomb, it was thermite!

Anna welded all the entrances and exits of the entertainment center shut with thermite!

???

Not to mention Sherlock, even Zhao Weike was stunned by Anna's move. Seeing the three huge question marks slowly appearing above Sherlock's head, Zhao Weike could only awkwardly smile and explain to Sherlock.

"Is it possible that these two little guys are blocking the target's escape route, preventing the enemy from escaping with the target after being frightened?"

Sherlock: "..."

Sherlock's only response to Zhao Weike was endless silence. Just as Zhao Weike was about to say something, a loud bang was heard, and soon a series of gunshots and explosions came from the entertainment center next to them.

The two of them, no longer caring about what Anna was up to, rushed frantically toward the gate, their cheap stone hats still on their heads.

It wasn't until they reached the main gate that Sherlock realized that the two girls had definitely secretly become apprentices to a new master. Their behavior was incredibly volatile!

After blocking all the exits of the entertainment center, Anna and Mindy actually drove their car straight into the gate.

When Sherlock and Zhao Weike arrived, Sherlock clearly saw Mindy laughing wildly as he fired a machine gun at the crowd that kept rushing out.

As for Anna, compared to Mindy, who had transformed into a berserker and whose smile was becoming increasingly violent, Anna was undoubtedly much calmer. At this moment, Anna was hiding behind Mindy, using one hand to finish off enemies with a pistol while constantly throwing out the firecrackers on her body with the other.

To put it simply, Anna covered almost every available space that could be considered cover. She even cleared a path with a grenade when passing through rooms, and when encountering corners, she would immediately throw a stun grenade, followed by a smoke grenade, and then another grenade before letting Mindy appear to spray bullets.

This entire process ensures that Mindy will not be injured due to the weak side armor. Not to mention that the other side is just a group of thugs, even if it is a regular army, as long as they do not have heavy weapons, they will only suffer a bitter defeat in the Northwest when facing this two-person fighting style.

Compared to a so-called assassination or rescue, Sherlock saw their actions as more like a massacre.

Of course, killing innocent people might make Mindy or Anna feel somewhat uncomfortable, but when it comes to the gang members entrenched in this entertainment center, the two of them feel no psychological pressure whatsoever.

If all of these people were killed, there would definitely be innocent people involved. But if every other person was killed, there would definitely be some who escaped. Moreover, the two of them did not want to kill everyone. As long as people do not take out weapons and stay away from the two of them, the two of them will not actually kill each other.

Nevertheless, the two players' fighting styles were enough to make Zhao Weike, a skilled player, extremely uncomfortable.

If Zhao Weike's gunfighting style relied on cover to ensure two shots to the body and one to the head when facing charging enemies, then Anna and Mindy's style was like Sherlock Holmes's spray-and-pour style, which relied on equipment advantages.

The two fighters' style of fighting was purely based on suppressive fire and using grenades to clear the way, which was completely different from Zhao Weike's style of fighting, which relied on movement skills to directly eliminate targets.

As the two girls advanced towards their target at a speed far exceeding Zhao Weike's, Sherlock's gaze toward Zhao Weike beside him grew increasingly strange.

As for Zhao Weike, well, Zhao Weike was already trembling a little from being angered by the two girls.

He didn't understand. Anna and Mindy had already learned most of his skills, and in some areas, they were even far superior to him because of the differences in male and female anatomy.

But why did his proud disciple not choose the arrogant fighting style he had adopted during his first mission, but instead chose the same brutal fighting style that Sherlock used at the Tarasov Manor?

Even if the two of them chose to sneak in, even if they failed and had to rely on Sherlock and himself to rescue them, Zhao Weike would feel better!

Seeing Zhao Weike beside him, who was almost shaking with anger, Sherlock helplessly patted Zhao Weike on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Old Zhao, although my water-splashing technique is not very elegant, you have to admit that it is really efficient and really satisfying!"

Hearing Sherlock's 'comfort,' Zhao Weike rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, and said to Sherlock in an annoyed tone.

"You didn't let me off the hook either! This mission is supposed to test their combat skills, what kind of test is this!"

"At least it proves that their tactical arrangements were flawless, right?"

Faced with Zhao Weike's complaints, Sherlock tried his best to suppress his smile, which was even harder to suppress than AK's, and tried to comfort Zhao Weike. Sherlock swore that he had received professional training and would not laugh under normal circumstances unless he couldn't help it!

Hahahahahahahahaha!

Sherlock laughed with unbridled joy, instantly avenging himself for the ridicule he had suffered at the hands of Zhao Weike due to the television station's manipulation of him.

Not only that, Sherlock originally intended to train Anna to become the "Grenade King," but now it seems that he got her without any effort at all!

There's no need to train them yourself at all. There's a reason why they can evolve into the Jade-Faced Grenade King in the movies!

Of course, Mindy's high attack and high defense berserker attributes were a complete surprise.

Watching the two girls frantically pushing their way upstairs, a daring plan emerged in Sherlock's mind. Little did he know that the director, who dared to scheme against even Sherlock, would be surprised to see two girls suffering from severe firepower deficiency phobia.

What would it be like to think about girls whose ideas are incredibly strange, and who can only be considered 'Chichimora' when they combine?

Chapter 130 sequel

Annoyed by Sherlock's laughter, Zhao Weike could only glare at Sherlock before turning around and leaving the so-called entertainment center.

Anna and Mindy's tactics are so overpowered that there's practically no chance they won't complete the mission.

If this strategy has any flaws, it's probably that the two mission objectives were also terrified by the two of them.

Besides that, the biggest problem is that no cleaner can take on this job and just clean up the site. No amount of gold coins will make it possible!

This was naturally no challenge for the two clever girls. After planting the bomb, Anna casually threw a few thermite bombs into the amusement park.

Amidst raging fires and explosions, the gang that dared to kidnap the daughter of a tycoon vanished overnight, leaving behind hardly any remains.

Even from the official perspective, it ultimately amounted to nothing more than a gas explosion, or simply a brief mention of a gang fight before being hastily concluded.

As for how many people died, whether they were killed or died for some random reason, it didn't matter to the authorities.

Even the public, let alone the authorities, wouldn't care; they might even applaud it.

After all, no normal person would like a criminal who breaks the law, right?

As for whether this eliminated gang will be followed by a behemoth like the Rom Gang to retaliate against Anna and Mindy?

Unfortunately, this is highly unlikely to happen.

After all, if such a gang really had powerful backers, it wouldn't appear on the mission list of the mainland hotel. Or to put it more bluntly, any gang that knows the rules wouldn't easily provoke someone with a lot of cash.

Once Anna and Mindy successfully delivered the tycoon's daughter, their target, to the Continental Hotel in Er Mao, their debut mission was considered complete.

However, it was quite obvious that while the mainland hotel was very satisfied with the two men's performance in completing the task, Zhao Weike was not!

After the two returned to their hotel after completing their mission, Zhao Weike immediately appeared, grabbed them, and dragged them into his room, giving them a good scolding.

Just when the two were feeling extremely down, Sherlock stepped forward and cheerfully said that he had prepared a small gift for them, which he would give to them when they returned to New York.

This once again lifted the two girls' previously low spirits.

This left Zhao Weike quite helpless, and he could only lead the two girls into the room to summarize and review the mission.

It's worth mentioning that although Zhao Weike didn't like the two players' aggressive style of play, he had to admit that it was quite efficient.

In this respect, Zhao Weike was still fair and just, but he still didn't forget to give the warnings he was supposed to.

Hotels in mainland China have their own rules, and one of the ironclad rules is to minimize the possibility of exposure.

This requires assassins to keep a low profile when carrying out missions. Only novices would be as high-profile as the two of them. After all, if you are too high-profile, or even attract the attention of the authorities, then you will be in trouble unless you can escape their pursuit.

Otherwise, mainland hotels will absolutely not acknowledge your existence. This involves the official image, a shackle that a mainland hotel killer cannot escape.

And the two of them did indeed break these taboos during this mission.

However, since they were both beginners, neither the Mainland Hotel nor Zhao Weike said much. But Zhao Weike's plan to test their fighting skills was now off the table.

Therefore, Zhao Weike had to take the two of them to Japan and ask his friend to arrange a mission for them to test their combat skills.

As for Sherlock, he didn't go with them this time. Instead, he used the Anywhere Door at Er Mao's place to go home.

After greeting Helen, Sherlock locked himself in his studio and got to work.

Helen had no idea what Sherlock was busy with, nor why he was the only one to return first. Out of concern for Sherlock, Helen took the initiative to take on the responsibility of delivering food, while Doro became both the delivery person and Sherlock's handy companion to rub occasionally.

This continued for nearly half a month, during which time the online discussions about Sherlock were quietly replaced by new trending topics, and Zhao Weike returned with Anna and Mindy, looking weary from their journey.

Compared to when they left, Zhao Weike, Anna, and Mindy all had different injuries. However, compared to Zhao Weike, whose injuries were relatively minor, Mindy and Anna were undoubtedly more seriously injured.

Having already discovered the magical effects of Sherlock's bathroom in the past two weeks, Helen scolded Zhao Weike without saying a word, and then led the two girls into Sherlock's bathroom to take a bath.

Zhao Weike could only become a doorman for several women, living a miserable life.

Out of sheer boredom, Zhao Weike thought for a moment and then knocked on the door of Sherlock Studio.

Compared to Zhao Weike, who only suffered minor injuries, Sherlock looked extremely disheveled. His face was covered in black soot, and even his hair was slightly burnt and curly. The smell emanating from him was so strong that people wanted to stay away from him.

But Sherlock was incredibly excited, especially when he saw Zhao Weike; he became even more excited.

"Old Zhao! You're back! Where are Anna and Mindy? I have gifts for them!"

Faced with the excited Sherlock, Zhao Weike sensed something was wrong almost instantly. He had a strange, ominous feeling, but couldn't pinpoint the source. He could only hold his nose and say to Sherlock.

"Anna and Mindy are injured, and Helen took them to your magical bathroom. Sherlock, whatever you want to do, I suggest you take a bath in my bathroom first!"

Reminded by Zhao Weike, Sherlock realized his own shortcomings and forcibly gave Zhao Weike a hug, only to be met with Zhao Weike's disgusted look. Then, Sherlock excitedly ran towards Zhao Weike's bathroom.

Half an hour later, Sherlock, Anna, Mindy, and Zhao Weike gathered in Sherlock's living room.

When Sherlock presented his so-called 'gift,' Zhao Weike's ominous premonition finally came true.

Chapter 131 Zhao Weike Gives Up Treatment

Sherlock's 'gift' was, unsurprisingly, an alchemical item he had made himself. After Sherlock placed the prepared alchemical item on the coffee table and explained how to use it to Anna and Mindy, Zhao Weike felt a sudden darkness engulf him.

The first item Sherlock took out was actually a 'gift' he had long intended to give to Anna, but after witnessing Anna transform into the Jade-Faced Grenade King, Sherlock made some modifications to it.

The alchemical item given to Anna is called 'Ninja Toolkit'. It's a tool-type item with about five cubic meters of storage space.

Of course, the storage space of this thing is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that when this thing is fully charged, it can automatically generate three kinds of alchemical products every day: flash pills, smoke pills, and most importantly, explosive tags!

When fully charged, the total quantity of the three items is approximately 150. Once the power is depleted, this thing becomes nothing more than a storage pouch that hangs on your lower back.

Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't be enough to make Zhao Weike's vision go black. This thing has an incredible function: if the user is willing, when fully charged and in conjunction with the explosive gloves that control the explosive tags, it can activate an extremely powerful function in an instant while consuming all the power.

Multiply the explosive tags!

Indeed, Sherlock spent nearly half a month solving the problem of the continuity of the multiplicative detonating tags, and the result was naturally very gratifying.

Once the multiplicative detonator is activated, the number of detonators will self-replicate with each explosion, lasting for nearly five minutes, and cannot be stopped.

In other words, given enough time, the thing Sherlock provided could create a carpet-like effect of explosion.
