I write obituaries for the gods

Hua Luo Ri was breathing softly, clutching her stomach, with drops of blood trickling from her fingertips.

She is hurt.

"Damn it, I actually got tricked by this nobody..."

Hua Luori took a needle from inside her coat and plunged it into her neck.

Even so, she remained pale.

"We need to retreat first. If he takes control of Mephisto, then he can control the anomalous entities contained by the Bureau of Investigation. If we can't kill him immediately, he'll be difficult to kill later..."

"Besides... the current situation is too unpredictable! Killing him won't help."

Hua Luo Ri's breathing grew louder as she spoke; for such a small frame, being shot must have been quite a blow.

"Lin Chen, what should we do?" Li Zhanyi looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen shook his head:

"Let's retreat first."

He knew Louis and knew that his former colleague would never deal with the Rapid Response Division without preparation.

Louis knew Lin Chen's capabilities and was certainly prepared.

Tonight, Lin Chen is already almost exhausted, and continuing like this is too risky.

"Are there any reliable safe houses?" Hua Luori asked softly.

“Safe houses…yes.” Lin Chen nodded immediately.

Before the operation began, Jiang Zhengge gave Lin Chen a safe house in Shuiwa City and told him to meet there no matter what happened.

“But we don’t have any transportation,” Lin Chen said in a low voice. “The truck is in the Bureau of Investigation’s yard. If we jump down, we’ll just become targets.”

"It's alright, your Director Hua will lead us away." Hua Luori breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi were both stunned.

The two looked at Hua Molan, who was pinned to the chair and bleeding to the bone, almost simultaneously, only to find that the director had opened his eyes at some point.

"I'm freezing..." she whispered.

It's so cold...

Lin Chen was petrified.

"Are you alive or dead?" he asked in a tone that dared not be negligent.

"How rude..." Hua Molan's voice was hoarse, "Do you really think I'd be killed by this...petty thief?"

Hua Molan stood up and squatted down in front of Hua Luori.

"Mom, are you alright?"

"I can hold on for a little while longer, but I'm afraid it will be hard on you." Hua Luori forced a smile.

"It's alright, I'm even stronger in this state."

Hua Molan glanced at everyone, her eyes gleaming with a deep blue light.

"I will use warp travel to take you away from here, but there are too many people and the distance is limited..."

“The coordinates are the truck in the yard,” Lin Chen said. “After you get on the truck, Zhan Yi will drive, and I’ll clear the obstacles behind us.”

"Okay." Hua Molan nodded.

She reached out and picked up Hua Luori as if she were a doll, then handed her other hand to Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi.

"Grab my wrist tightly."

Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi did as instructed, and almost simultaneously, an explosion rang out from behind the bulletproof screen—

"boom!!!"

The moment the screen burst open, Louis happened to be looking directly into Hua Molan's eyes.

"Wait," Hua Molan said softly.

The next second, a grayish-white light burst forth, instantly enveloping the four people next to the desk.

"call----"

After the light faded, there was nothing left by the French windows.

"..."

Louis took the syringe from Wang Pan, stuck it into his neck, and then quickly walked to the window.

He saw the truck in the Bureau of Investigation's yard start up and rush toward the gate.

"Stop them, shoot them!" Louis shouted.

"..."

In the driver's seat, Li Zhanyi pressed the accelerator hard and sped towards the gate of the Investigation Bureau!

"I've never driven before! I've never driven before!" Li Zhanyi shouted. "Why are you making me drive! Waaaaah!"

"Calm down! Just like in the Legend of the Pinnacle!"

"In the game 'Peak Legends,' I often drove my car off cliffs! Wow!"

"There are no cliffs here, don't worry!"

"Oh!"

The truck crashed through the gate and sped straight onto the road!

Li Zhanyi executed a thunderous drift, swerving like a dragon on the highway and leaving a group of roadblocks behind.

"There's a checkpoint ahead!" Li Zhanyi shouted, "Brother Lin!"

Lin Chen immediately grabbed his gun and leaned out.

He aimed at the soldier in front of the checkpoint, but hesitated at the moment of pulling the trigger.

Because the person blocking the way... was Chief Marcusco of the Second Rapid Reaction Division.

"..."

Time seemed to slow down as Lin Chen and Marcus looked at each other across the vast distance.

However, to his surprise...

Marcus nodded to Lin Chen, raised his hand, and shouted:

"Clear the way! Let them pass!"

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers at the checkpoint immediately dispersed to both sides, relinquishing control of the road!

The truck crashed through the checkpoint, sped onto the highway, and headed towards the rainy area!

"Marcuso, let us go!?" Li Zhanyi shouted.

"Zhanyi, calm down!" Lin Chen grabbed Li Zhanyi's wrist.

"I...I...I...I'll try my best..."

Lin Chen began to regret letting Li Zhanyi drive. It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, because as soon as she did, Lin Chen remembered the story of how she drove the team off a cliff when they were playing duo.

The Pinnacle Legends have ejection seats, but this beat-up truck doesn't!

"Om——"

The truck rushed into the old streets of the Mianyu District, crashing into a cluster of colorful buildings.

“Turn right in the next block, then go straight for two kilometers,” Lin Chen recalled the location. “Remember that alley where we went on our mission before? The entrance to Waterhole City.”

“I remember,” Li Zhanyi said, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands. “Wait, are we going to Shuiwa City?”

"Yes, go straight in."

"it is good!"

Li Zhanyi did not question Lin Chen at all, but chose to believe him unconditionally.

She understood that she couldn't understand him, but she shouldn't question him.

"..."

On the back seat of the truck, Hua Molan was bandaging Hua Luori's wounds as best she could.

"Mom, are you alright?" She gently stroked Hua Luori's face.

Hua Luo Ri nodded, looking like she was moving with great difficulty.

“To be injured at a normal depth is too much,” she exhaled. “The Black Knight was left with the Bureau of Investigation. I might not make it…”

"Don't talk nonsense," Hua Molan gently pinched Hua Luori's philtrum, "You're not that easy to kill."

"Hehe...that's hard to say."

Hua Luori winked at Hua Molan and gently stroked her cheek.

"If I die, your father will probably go with you, but he's no good, so be careful..."

"Don't talk nonsense, you won't die," Hua Molan pinched Hua Luori's face hard. "I don't want to have anything to do with my father. You'll have to deal with your own bad karma."

"How awful..."

Lin Chen couldn't understand a word of what the mother and daughter were saying after their incomprehensible conversation.

Who exactly is this father? He looks like a ghost...

But Lin Chen did catch the key point—Hua Luo Ri's recovery speed at normal depth is very slow.

Lin Cen did recall that Hua Luo Ri had mentioned before that after becoming a symbiote, she needed to be injected with an inhibitor frequently, and that the inhibitor had drug resistance. In order to slow down the drug resistance process, she needed to stay in the subspace to avoid the symbiote's erosion.

It now appears that she didn't receive any blocking agents, which is why she was so vulnerable in the real world.

You should have said so earlier...

"Chief, there are two sets of deep-sea armor in the back of the truck. They're the ones we used during Operation Black Morning Star," Lin Chen shouted as he turned around. "Put Auntie in there!"

"Who are you calling 'Auntie'...!"

"it is good."

Hua Molan yanked open the curtain in the back of the vehicle and untied the ropes binding the armor.

She kicked off her high heels, stepped on the push handle behind the armor, and slowly applied force—

"Crack!"

The armor opened, and a faint white mist billowed out.

“Come here…” Hua Molan picked up Hua Luori and put her into the armor.

The setting sun obediently lay down inside the armor, the armor merged, and the lights on it lit up segment by segment.

"Phew... much better..."

“We’re approaching Waterhole City,” Lin Chen glanced at the road ahead, “Wait… Zhanyi!”

Li Zhanyi had already foreseen what was about to happen.

She jerked the steering wheel, and the truck drifted in a thunderous vortex, narrowly avoiding a white blur hurtling towards it—

"call!"

"Hahaha! Another idiot! Another idiot has come to deliver vegetables!"

Lin Chen turned his head and saw a demigod wearing exoskeleton armor floating in the air, his dark blue eyes like those of a demon.

Behind him, countless flying objects flew around, some resembling demigods and others resembling machines.

"You are my food!" the demigod shouted at Lin Chen.

The next second, a spear pierced through his chest—

"Pfft!"

A figure dressed in a Stars and Stripes uniform flew toward the spear, grabbed the handle, and flung the demigod's corpse into the air.

The American demigod looked down at the truck, exhaling two puffs of white breath from his nostrils.

He was about to make a move when a missile struck him directly in the body.
