Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Only Magic Can Counter Magic_1

Shell Launcher—and another Cyber madman.

In just one day, this place had almost turned into an exhibition of various Cyber madmen and military-grade prosthetic bodies.

The explosion came through the restaurant wall; she and Lador were the closest to the blast radius and were therefore flung several meters away by the aftermath of the explosion.

Lu Xiang quickly checked her aching arm, thankfully, it was just a few scrapes.

Then she immediately looked at Lador, "Are you okay?"

"... What do you think?"

Lador wasn’t so lucky, a shard of broken metal had pierced his abdomen, and as he lay on the ground, he struggled a few times but couldn’t get up.

The dust gradually cleared, and the figure who had finished reloading the bullets entered their line of sight.

This person looked like an ordinary company employee, wearing a black suit and white shirt, which at first glance fitted every lower-class citizen’s imagination of a "company person", except that his eyes now held the same maniacal expression as the drifter’s.

"TNND, the moment I saw you walk in, I knew there’d be trouble."

Lador cursed, knowing if he had predicted this outcome, he would have preferred to take his chances at the border checkpoint.

In his current state, there was no way he could escape. He had seen this thing called a Shell Launcher during a commission; despite its small size and how it could perfectly conceal itself in the arm, the ammunition it loaded could ensure that the next shot would scatter him to pieces just like "Hyena".

Such rotten luck.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Unity Tech... The Anfiya family is not the main point, what you really should be investigating is the disappearance cases in District Seventeen over the years."

As soon as he spoke, blood streamed down the corner of Lador’s mouth.

Only when his life was coming to an end did he dare to take that first step against the company in his life. As for the rest of the journey, it was up to Lu Xiang, who knew about this, to finish for them, "What are you waiting for, we won’t make it if you don’t retreat now!"

Although he couldn’t stand up, he could still manage to roll over.

With a grim smile, he reached for a gun at his waist and aimed it at the Cyber madman who had approached him.

Despite having little hope, he kept pulling the trigger, watching as the bullets scratched out sparks on the other’s face.

This thing simply wasn’t a mechanical monster ordinary people could deal with.

Lador heard the Shell Launcher fully charge, followed by a loud explosion close at hand.

The heat wave quickly swallowed him, but it seemed...

It hadn’t completely engulfed him.

Because someone had lifted him up and was dragging him out of the rubble.

Turning his head, Lador saw Lu Xiang’s dusty face, he could hardly believe his eyes, "Have you gone mad, too?"

He couldn’t understand why Lu Xiang would come back to save him after learning important information, nor why he had clearly heard the explosion so close, yet was completely unharmed.

But soon, Lador understood the reason.

Before the explosion hit, someone had used their body to shield them from the blast, and that person was undoubtedly another madman.

This wasn’t a description of the person’s actions, but a statement of fact—the explosion had charred the person’s skin, revealing the metal skeleton hidden underneath, but even this metal skeleton couldn’t completely withstand the impact of the Shell Launcher, a ghastly hole had appeared.

Lador couldn’t help but wonder if he had accidentally wandered into Arkham Asylum; how could he encounter at least two Cyber madmen just by going out for a cup of coffee?

But regardless of who this Cyber madman was or why he took the fatal blow for him, it didn’t change the fact that he was already dead.

To withstand a Shell Launcher with one’s flesh, indeed, only a madman could perform such an act.

In this world, indeed only a Cyber madman could handle another Cyber madman.

However, in the next moment, Lador’s eyes widened in horror as he witnessed a scene he would never forget—A cybernetic eye emerged from the chest cavity of the newly arrived Cyber madman. After making eye contact with them, the man, who should have shown no signs of life, spoke in a deep tone, "I am Sammuen, a member of the Shadow Guards. Leave this to me, please depart swiftly."

Immediately after, his charred and tattered flesh seemed to suddenly regain vitality, and in less than three seconds, the damaged parts were fully repaired,

The sound of his voice seemed to mix with a faint electronic synthesis.

"Recovery operation in progress."

Two searing heat-cutting blades "grew" from the back of his hands, and before the Shell Launcher could perform its third status, Sammuen transformed into a streak of red light.

Only one thought remained in Lador’s mind.

This Sammuen was not just a Cyber madman, or not only that.

Nobody knew what this thing truly was, perhaps not even Unified Tech, the creators of these Cyber madmen.

............

A moment later, at the Unified Tech subsidiary in District Seventeen.

The management was in complete disarray, as the nearby border checkpoint’s surveillance had captured a scene that left everyone shocked.

Although the two deployed test subjects had eventually been killed within their expectations, the manner in which the second Cyber madman was "killed" had surpassed everyone’s imagination. According to the surveillance footage, the one who "killed" him was none other than Sammuen, who had been recovered by the Law Enforcers that afternoon.

Yet, according to the intelligence they held, Sammuen’s heat-cutting blades should have been artificially damaged, but upon reappearing, he had mysteriously returned to his original state.

Even more incomprehensible to them was the fact that, after being penetrated by the Shell Launcher, Sammuen completed his self-repair in just a few seconds.

This clearly wasn’t their technology.

Beyond that, Sammuen’s mad symptoms had vanished, and he had even deliberately avoided densely populated areas, throwing the other test subject into a deserted area.

In just one afternoon, had Sammuen’s symptoms been cured and had he undergone evolution as well?

How could that be possible?

At that moment, all of the subsidiary’s researchers had gathered, yet even the collective intelligence of those in the room could not conceive a single reasonable explanation.

This was unscientific.

What truly sent chills down their spines was the last scene captured by the surveillance.

After gaining the upper hand, Sammuen pinned the second test subject to the ground. Instead of immediately using his heat-cutting blades to behead the subject, he retracted his prosthetics and brought his head close to the other.

Then, the surveillance caught something resembling a worm burrowing into the mouth of the second test subject. The worm moved so quickly that they had to slow down the footage several times to capture the entire process.

"Amplify the volume; I want to hear exactly what he said," the head of the subsidiary demanded.

The staff complied.

Following that, a voice filled with terror and ominous presence echoed in the room for a long time.
