Hidden Corner

Chapter 145 145 Enlightenment 1

 In the woodland.

Mr. Mu stood motionless.

It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but a heavy sense of oppression that firmly fixed his legs, making it impossible for him to move a step at all.

 “Who are you?” He failed to recognize Li Chengyi at this time.

 But the long-standing plan must not be ruined.

“People from Vulture Company? Or from Utopia?”

 “You can be considered a vulture. Let me ask again.” Li Chengyi stepped closer. "Did you just want to escape?"

A subtle vibrating sound of the blade spread from his hand.

Li Chengyi held a golden sword in his hand, and his diamond-shaped purple eyes were facing Mr. Mu.

"Young man, I'm just a lonely old man who knows nothing. I left early just to move reinforcements. Even if I stay here, what role can I play?" Mr. Mu answered seriously.

 “What you said makes sense.” Li Chengyi took a step forward. "But now my reinforcements are here. You don't have to leave."

"I"

Mr. Mu still wanted to speak.

Suddenly there was a flash of golden light, and a shadow suddenly approached. In less than half a second, the golden sword tip had landed on his right shoulder, close to his neck.

　　唰.

The sharp sword blade flipped over, exuding a slight chill, making him dare not move at all.

　　Bang!

The blade of the sword turned into a slap, hitting the side of his face hard.

The huge force took Mr. Mu flying to the left, hit a tree trunk, and fell to the ground.

 He propped himself up a few times and tried to get up, but he couldn't.

 The concussion left him almost off balance and unable to stabilize himself.

“I have been to the dead end of Wolf Cave. There is indeed a blue book there, but there is no way to take it out.”

Li Chengyi walked up to him, pointing the sword blade at him.

“Tell me, how did the boss fall into coma after seeing the blue book?”

“He Bing did that! I don’t know either, otherwise why would I come to you!?” The mask on Mr. Mu’s face was knocked off, revealing a face full of scars and burns.

“If you don’t believe me! Then don’t come to me!” He pointed at Li Chengyi.

"Think clearly! It's you who are begging me! It's you who want Syndra to wake up, not me!"

 “So this is what asking for help looks like!?” His voice gradually became louder.

“You are right. But how do you know how to wake up the boss?” Li Chengyi asked. "If a random person comes to me and tells me that he can wake up the boss, do we have to believe him completely?"

 “You don’t have to believe it!” Mr. Mu looked very stubborn.

He cocked his neck and looked at Li Chengyi with firm eyes, showing no hesitation, flinching or fear at all.

Li Chengyi stared at him for a few seconds.

“Okay, since you are so sure, I will believe you once.”

 He answered.

 “You stay here and I will come back later.”

 “Okay!” A flash of sarcasm flashed in Mr. Mu’s eyes.

 Want to come back soon?

If Utopia was so easy to deal with, he wouldn't use them as millstones to grind flesh and blood.

Li Chengyi put away his sword, passed through him, and walked towards the open space beyond the Jackal Cave.

                            .

 At the moment when the two of them crossed paths.

 A golden light exploded instantly, and suddenly fell from Mr. Mu's legs.

 Dangdang!

 Two crisp sounds.

　　The blocking object that Mr. Mu popped up with both hands was cut off at once.

 He opened his mouth to shout, but it was too late.

 The power of the golden light was so huge that even if he hid his strength, he would not be able to completely block it if he was caught off guard.

Not to mention that his weapon was also broken by a sword.

Blood spattered, and Mr. Mu let out a piercing scream. His legs were broken at the knees and he fell to the ground.

Li Chengyi didn't even look at him, sheathed her sword and walked towards the outside of the forest.

 It is almost impossible for a person to lie in front of him, especially if he lies with malice.

No matter how well the other person hides his or her innermost feelings, they will never lie to others.

   *

   *

   *

 Dangdang!

 After two crisp sounds.

Colin of the Vulture Company held the knife in both hands and quickly retreated a certain distance. His body was slightly arched and he stared at the opposite side with a solemn expression.

The screams that kept ringing around him made it impossible for him to fully concentrate.

 He is not concerned about the life or death of his colleagues, but is worried that other enemies will attack him after taking care of the others.

Just after the signal was blocked, two men in black cloaks, holding huge black guns that looked like instruments, rushed out of the forest and shot at people.

　　Under the strafing fire, few of the people in the company's body armor could block it.

 In just ten seconds, the scene collapsed.

 Only Sima Gui and a few of his deputies were still dealing with the other black cloak.

“Who are you!?” Sima Gui asked loudly, leaning against a tree trunk not far away.

“How dare you come here without even knowing who we are?”

One of the black cloaks made a sound in astonishment.

These words were a bit incomprehensible, but Colin and Sima Gui both felt their hearts sinking after hearing it.

 “Stop talking nonsense!”

Black Cloak took a wrong step, turned sideways, produced a golden chain from the gun in his hand, and fired horizontally at Colin's location.

 The bullet chain was like a blade, easily cutting off the tree trunk where Colin was hiding, but Colin ducked and rolled to avoid it.

The powerful explosive power injected with the strengthening injection made Colin rush towards the opponent like a sharp arrow.

 The sword flashed.

Colin held the knife with both hands and raised the muzzle of the gun aimed at by the black cloak.

 He just wanted to kill the opponent with one strike, but the opponent was also an enhanced master.

 In terms of reaction speed, it is even a little faster than him.

 “Not bad swordsmanship, but a pity.” Black Cloak smiled. "I'm faster!"

The firearm was thrown away, and a silver short knife appeared in the black cloak's hand.

The silver knife was lifted up, leaving a dazzling knife mark. The two of them were slashing at each other like crazy.

The tinkling sound was like a musical instrument, exploding quickly.

 The more he hit Colin, the more frightened he became.

 In fact, this world does not have a detailed division and standard for strength.

 There is only a provisional hazard classification.

 Because even for the same person, after installing different modules, his level of danger and strength will vary greatly.

 So it is not easy to classify a specific person into different levels.

 This is the case in the technological age.

  But it is absolutely reliable to determine a person's risk level based on his achievements and examples.

 In a sense, the risk level can most of the time be regarded as a person's comprehensive strength level.

Hazard level is the common level assessed by their security company.

 From the lowest level ten to the highest level. Assessed annually.

And the black cloak in front of him gave him the feeling that he was almost the same as the level four dangerous person he had fought before.

  Powerful sword skills are at least equivalent to dozens of needles to strengthen the body. Coupled with the powerful exoskeleton armor increase, it may be a complete body at all. Finally, there are weapons made of extremely sharp materials.

 Up to now, Colin has already decided to give up.

 They are just hired companies, not dead bodyguards. They are here to make money, not to fight for their lives.

　　Boom!

At this moment, a violent explosion came from the entrance of the Jackal Cave.

Song Ran rushed out of the cave in disgrace, and with him were several team members who went in together.

As soon as they came out, they saw a messy fighting scene outside.

 “Fuck! You are looking for death!”

 Song Ran raised his right hand, and the palm was separated from the wrist and transformed into a black launch port.

Whizzing!

 Two miniature missiles burst out from his wrists, trailing long golden tail flames, locking on the two black cloaks and flying away.

 “It’s the Golden Flying Fish! Hurry and hide!”

Black Cloak, who was still entangled with Colin, recognized the model of the missile and immediately yelled in shock and anger.

 But the missile is extremely fast and the distance is short, so it is too late to shout now.

 “This madman!!”

 A military-grade Golden Flying Fish missile can instantly kill all living creatures within a thirty-meter radius!

 What’s more, there are two here!

 Does he want to die together? ?

 The two black cloaks were in despair at this time.

 At such a close distance, Song Ran would be so cruel that he would even explode his own people.

 The two decisively gave up their goal and retreated.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

 After two crisp sounds, the two so-called Golden Flying Fish missiles only exploded into two small fires about two meters apart.

 Then everything was quiet.

At this time, the two black cloaks had already ran more than 20 meters away.

Song Ran took the opportunity to shoot a flare into the sky.

A bright red flare flew into the sky, exploding into a large red rain of light representing rescue.

“Hey, I just asked my brother for a military-grade golden flying fish shell. Isn’t it great?” Song Ran said proudly.

"Stop being weird, think about what to do." Sima Gui looked ugly. He raised his finger and pointed at the two black cloaks not far away who were turning back.

 “What should I do?” Song Ran sneered and raised his hand again, this time with his left hand.

The wrist broke automatically, revealing the black hole of the muzzle.

"Again!"

　　Whoosh! Whoosh!

 Two golden flying fish missiles flew out again.

 The missile rotated like a tumbler, locking and flying towards the opposite side.

"Again!"

The two of them felt that they would not be fooled this time, so one of them swung his knife towards them, intending to deflect the missile away.

 “Get out of the way! It’s true!”

 Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out from the side, and the sword flashed twice.

 The missile suddenly changed direction, was lifted upward, and rushed into the air.

　　Boom!

 The two explosions merged into one, and the huge fireball blew up all the trees around the clearing.

 Everyone who was still alive was shaken to the point of numbness and drowsiness.

 “Kill!” Song Ran took the opportunity to rush out and rushed to the opposite side, trying to take advantage of the explosion to kill a black cloak in a sneak attack.

He was only halfway out when he realized something was wrong. He wanted to retreat, but it was already too late.

　　A man in black cloak rushed forward and engaged him hand to hand. The metal arms and blades kept colliding with each other, suppressing him for a while and being unable to escape.

 Another black cloak also found Colin at this time, trying to quickly kill all the living people present.

 But there is a new third person on the field.

 The third tall woman wearing a black wolf mask.

 She looked at Sima Gui who was left behind.

Sima Gui looked confused and looked around, trying to find support.

 But everyone else on the court knelt.

The employees of the company also fell down, ran away, and fainted.

As for Mr. Mu, he is missing even more.

"It's over." Looking at the woman in the black wolf mask who was approaching him quickly, Sima Gui felt a chill in his heart. With just the little loose fighting skills he knew, he faced a master who could pick off missiles with a knife.

Withdrawing his pistol, Sima Gui pulled an ugly smile on his lips.

“Boss, it seems I have to take the first step”

 Bang, bang, bang!

 Three consecutive shots were fired, and all the bullets hit the woman accurately, hitting the woman in the middle of the chest.

 But all of them are just wearing clothes and making a metallic sound, but it has no effect.

　　Obviously either a body armor or a modified person. Judging from the situation just now, the possibility of transforming people is much greater.
