Soyo didn't understand at that time why Xiangzi wanted to go back to that place.

She interpreted this as simple betrayal.

It wasn't until the three of them left the Neon Islands and went around the world as mercenaries to help the oppressed that Soyo understood something.

Xiangzi may not have betrayed their original ideals, but she chose another path, a path that, in the eyes of Soyo and Lixi, is the path of a coward.

-----------------

Suddenly, a voice came into Soyo's ears from above his head.

"Ms. Soyo, shouldn't you explain what you've been doing these past few days while you were gone from my sight?"

Soyo looked up.

Trouble.

The masked weirdo I met a few days ago actually came to Soyo...

(ps: I finally signed the contract, I was so moved that my stockings fell off (╥╯^╰╥), I wrote this chapter on the train today, it was so painful to type on the train (;д;), I feel the quality is not high enough, I can only beg readers to forgive me (。﹏。*))

Book 12: The Book of Fears: . Congregare

The moonlight shattered into millions of silver foils on the cherry trees in Asukayama Park, and the spider silk of the early blooming flowers brought up a string of blue and white light spots as they crossed the night sky.

Soyo's widow's sting hummed in her palm, and twelve micro-pulse bombs were suspended like stars on the magnetic ring around her waist.

"Get out of here!" Soyo's tactical boots crushed the fallen cherry blossoms on the ground, and the electromagnetic hook flew past Chuhua's ear, tearing the vending machine three meters away into metal fragments.

Chu Hua twisted his body in mid-air to avoid the flying cans. A milky white spider web formed a buffer net behind him, and the foam of the carbonated drink rained down between the two of them.

The spider sense suddenly stung, and three poisoned darts penetrated the foam curtain and went straight for Chu Hua's throat.

At the critical moment, the spider silk wrapped around the lamppost and pulled her away from the deadly trajectory.

The asphalt road surface where the darts were nailed into instantly began to emit blue smoke and corroded into honeycomb-shaped potholes.

There is no doubt that Chu Huaxinqun Yin Qilu (13) thought that the other party wanted to kill him.

"I didn't expect that a birdcage full of tin hyenas could still have a living masked vigilante like you."

Soyo tore off the spider silk wrapped around his ankle, and the widow's sting electrode unfolded on his wrist like a peacock's tail feather.

The high-voltage electric current turned into a long blue whip and swept across. The cherry tree where Chuhua had originally stood exploded, and the burning petals flew all over the sky like blood-red butterflies.

Chu Hua took advantage of the blast to leap onto the dome of the nearby observation deck. The twenty-meter-high steel structure turned into a three-dimensional battlefield in her eyes.

Seven strands of spider silk shot out in different directions at the same time, instantly weaving into a hunting net that covered the entire square.

Soyo sneered, and the pulse bomb slid between his fingers along the magnetic ring. The metal shell reflected the upside-down figure of Spider-Woman.

boom!

As the shock wave blew Chuhua away, Soyo was approaching on the burning cherry blossom branches.

The poisonous needle of the widow's sting grazed the spider's suit, leaving a charred mark below Chuhua's collarbone.

Chu Hua reluctantly threw out the sticky spider web, but Soyo, as expected, used an electromagnetic pulse to burn it to ashes.

"What a shame, he's too weak." Soyo's tactical boots slammed down on Chuhua's chest, the bulletproof fibers rubbing against his Spider suit, sparking sparks. "Don't attack someone stronger than you unless you're sure of victory."

Chu Hua grabbed the other person's ankle and swung it hard, and both of them crashed into the park bench and rolled into the bushes.

The moment Chu Hua turned over and pressed down, the holographic projection collar on Soyo's waist suddenly activated.

Five clones pounced from different directions, but the real Widow Sting stabbed Chu Hua in the back of the neck from an unexpected angle.

The spider sense exploded wildly, and Chu Hua used spider silk to wrap around the distant monitoring tower crane at the last second, pulling himself away from the death radius like a cannonball.

boom!

With the loud noise of the broken steel cable, the 30-meter-high tower crane collapsed.

Chu Hua leaped into the air on the falling steel frame, and the spider silk rain curtain covered all of Soyo's retreat routes.

Pulse bombs exploded one after another, and the electromagnetic storm tore the spider web into floating silver threads, but exposed a fatal flaw in the moonlight - Chu Hua had already stuck the sound wave generator behind Soyo.

The high-frequency vibration caused Soyo's nano-combat suit to become temporarily stiff, and Chuhua's spider web catapult took the opportunity to spray out improved frozen spider silk.

Frost spread upwards along Soyo's two tactical gloves, freezing her arms firmly to the collapsed fountain statue.

Chuhua covered his injured chest and stood in front of the trapped Soyo.

Fortunately, she has a high resistance to poison, so this minor injury only makes her feel uncomfortable for a while.

"Now, can you tell me who you are?" Chu Hua asked his defeated opponent.

If Chu Hua hadn't wanted to clarify his doubts, he would have knocked the other person down with a single punch. After all, the other person's strength seemed to be at the level of an average person, and hadn't been enhanced by any special means.

Of course, Chu Hua was also wary of the magic the other party might use. In her impression, it would be very uncomfortable to be hit by this thing once.

However, the woman in front of him had an expression that said, "Guh, kill me." and didn't seem prepared to answer anything.

Just as Chuhua was thinking about what method to use to torture Soyo, the spider sense suddenly made a sharp sound.

Chu Hua instinctively dodged, only to see a scorpion's tail coming towards her, almost brushing against her cheek.

After a few quick backflips to create distance, Chu Hua was able to see the attacker clearly.

As expected, Scorpio.

"Nagasaki Vegetarian, a professional mercenary nicknamed Black Widow, specializes in infiltration and assassination, and is proficient in various fighting techniques. She belongs to the mercenary group called 'Mygo'." Hailing looked at Soyo, whose arms were bound by ice, with amusement, and lifted his chin with a giant pincer. "He has successfully assassinated so many business owners over the years, but he failed in our small town. This must be quite a taste."

Soyo, who had been hoping to cut off his arm to save his life, saw Scorpion appear and knew that he probably couldn't escape today. So he started to challenge the green-armored cyborg in front of him, who could strangle his neck with a single push: "Humph, you're just a carnivore's lackey, and you have the nerve to bark here? You can kill me or cut me up as you please... Ugh——"

"She's sharp-tongued, and quite endearing~" Hailing covered Soyo's mouth to prevent her from interrupting her next sentence. "Tsk, if Xiangzi really did something to you, you'd probably have given up your hands and left here."

"Mmmmmmm!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity, you are not the main course today." The scorpion's tail swung, and a beam of nerve agent was sprayed towards Spider-Woman who was about to slip away.

Chu Hua dodged with a somersault. She glanced at the motionless Black Widow, then at the aggressive Hai Ling: "How about I leave her to you and we can reconcile today?"

"I've been waiting for you for three days and three nights, and you want to leave now?" Hai Ling laughed wildly.

Chu Hua flipped backwards again, and used inertia to throw out three strands of spider silk. The milky white mucus drew sharp arcs in the moonlight.

The scorpion's tail brushed against the ends of her raised hair, and its poisonous needles scraped across her mask, causing her spider-sense to emit a harsh sound.

"Wasn't the lesson from last time enough?" Hailing's mechanical clamp crushed the lamppost, and concrete fragments rained down on Chuhua. "Tokyo doesn't need Spider-Woman!"

Chu Hua's spider sense allowed her to curl up and roll into the green belt in advance, and the dew-covered bushes behind her exploded into green fireworks.

The electromagnetic aftermath of the pulse bomb burned his battle suit, but Chu Hua took advantage of the explosion to jump onto the sign of the convenience store next to him.

"No Spider-Woman needed? Then who subdued the mercenary?"

She injected the modified spider silk liquid into the launcher, and the silver-white silk thread suddenly burst into a dazzling blue light.

In an instant, twelve electrified spider webs spiraled towards Hailing.

Faced with Chu Hua's deadly move, Hai Ling just sneered.

The scorpion's tail suddenly split into three chain blades, and the high-speed rotating alloy teeth twisted the spider web into fluorescent fragments.

Chu Hua took the opportunity to swing to the top of a transformer box on the corner of the street, and the spider silk of his ten fingers was as taut as the strings of a guitar - the street lights on the whole street went out.

The humming of hydraulic joints could be heard in the darkness, and Chuhua's spider vision clearly reflected Hailing's thermal energy outline.

The moment the scorpion's poisonous needle pierced the air, she grabbed the spider silk and swung herself towards the open-air cafe in the park.

Several tempered glass tables were transformed into thousands of prisms under the heavy blow of the scorpion's tail, and each piece reflected Chu Hua's figure slashing down from the air.

"I got you!" Hailing's mechanical clamp suddenly popped out a magnetic lock, firmly locking Chuhua's right leg. Chuhua, however, took advantage of the momentum of falling and aimed his arms at the opponent's armor.

This time, the closer distance meant that Hailing no longer had time to use her scorpion tail to cut the electric spider silk.

The intense pain caused Scorpion to involuntarily throw Spider-Woman in a certain direction.

-----------------

not long ago.

The Master of Imitation waited for a long time in the center of Asukayama Park but Black Widow never showed up.

It was not until he was attracted by the sound of fighting in the distance that he rushed over to take a look and found that Soyo's arms were frozen on a collapsed fountain, and in front of Soyo stood two people confronting each other.

The Imitation Master's first reaction was to rush forward and knock down the two men to rescue Soyo.

But those two men seemed to have weapons with a wide killing range, so it was obviously not wise to rush up and engage in close combat with them.

So Deng waited for the two men to go somewhere else before coming out from the bushes nearby. But just as she was about to rescue Soyo, she had a very strong feeling that something was wrong.

So he put down the tactical dagger in his hand and used the energy simulator on his left leg to create an energy shield, which he protected in front of Soyo in a half-squatting position.

The next moment, a figure flew towards Deng and Soyo, hit Deng's shield hard, and rolled to the ground.

Deng looked down and saw the black and white uniform and the spider logo on the chest were very eye-catching.

It was Spider-Woman, and behind her, Scorpion was sprinting towards some prey.

The night wind carried the fallen cherry blossom petals across Asukayama Park. Chu Hua, who was lying on the ground, was suddenly pricked by his spider sense - the sharp scream of the scorpion's tail breaking through the air was already in his ears.

She then spun around and swung out several strands of spider silk that caught the remains of the fountain, using the pulling force to fling herself into the air.

Hailing's mechanical scorpion tail brushed past her flying body, plowing a half-meter-deep groove in the concrete ground.

"Is this your escape route? Much more interesting than last week."

Hailing's sneer mixed with the humming of hydraulic joints, and the green armor glowed with a venomous glow in the moonlight.

She swung her scorpion tail and swept across. Chu Hua kicked the street lamp in mid-air and used the momentum to leap up. Quickly, a silver-white spider web formed a barrier between the two of them.

At this moment, the sound of ice breaking suddenly rang out.

Soyo, who was supposed to be frozen, suddenly turned into a holographic phantom and disappeared. The real Black Widow threw a magnetic storm grenade from the shadow of the tree and threw it at Scorpion.

Hailing's pupils suddenly shrank - if that thing exploded, all the electronic equipment in the entire block would be paralyzed.

"Lower your head." A deep male voice cut through the night sky and shouted at Chu Hua.

The Master of Mimicry, clad in silver-grey armor, leaped down from the observation deck, his nano-cape unfolding behind him like bat wings.

The Imitation Master held a high-frequency vibrating blade in each hand, and the arc of light drawn by the blade accurately split the shell of the magnetic storm grenade.

The incompletely ignited electromagnetic pulse turned into a blue arc, paralyzing all surrounding monitoring equipment and forming a dangerous electric grid between the three people.
