Chapter 207: Chapter 207 Sending You on Your Way

One, three, seven... fifteen—there were fifteen Papermen!

Under the web of the Sen Luo Eye, all fifteen Papermen engaging in a shootout with the Patrol were clearly visible. These Papermen had one characteristic: bullets passing through their bodies would, at most, leave a small charred hole, causing minimal damage.

What do Papermen fear?

Fire?

Water?

This thought immediately flashed through your mind, and you shouted to Lu Tiejun, who was firing a 95 crossbow rifle, "Captain Lu! These Papermen fear fire and water!"

"Papermen?"

In the eyes of Lu Tiejun and the others, the creatures hiding behind cover seemed almost normal, apart from being unkillable. You saying this made Lu Tiejun observe the Papermen more closely—even though it was impossible to tell with the naked eye of an ordinary person.

"Brother-in-law, you say they’re Papermen, but I can’t tell at all."

You didn’t want to waste words, immediately asking, "Does anyone have incendiary grenades?"

Lu Tiejun scratched his head, somewhat frustrated, "We heard it was some Taoists this time and didn’t take it seriously at first, so..."

While Lu Tiejun was speaking, he peeked his head out, and the opponents immediately fired several shots over, causing Lu Tiejun to quickly duck back and curse, "Damn! These bastards—do they fear nothing but fire and water?"

At that moment, Xian Qianling also reached your side, both of you now hiding behind a fake rock.

Xian Qianling had heard the conversation between you and Lu Tiejun and remarked, "If they’re Papermen, they must be very light, right?"

"Light?"

Yes! Since they’re light, they must fear wind!

You quickly turned to shout at Lu Tiejun, "Captain Lu, do you have Suppression Bombs?"

"Yes!" Lu Tiejun nodded this time. "But those things only make noise and light; how much can they affect Papermen?"

"Don’t Suppression Bombs have shockwaves?" you wondered aloud. Since they’re called Suppression Bombs, shouldn’t they have shockwaves?

"Why waste words? Just hit them with two grenades!"

As she spoke, Xian Qianling took two grenades from another Patrol member’s hand, and with two clicks, threw them accurately—one to the left and one to the right—behind cover where several Papermen were hiding!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

This was your first experience with the true lethality of grenades. You had seen plenty in action movies and weren’t impressed by their power, but witnessing them explode just over ten meters from you, the roaring sound and strong shockwave left a continuous ringing in your ears.

At the moment of the explosion, three nearby Papermen were instantly blown to bits, while those behind the cover were hurled into the air by the powerful shockwave!

Lu Tiejun led the charge, surprisingly abandoning his rifle and drawing a sharp dagger from his waist, and he chopped down on the head of a Paperman trying to stand up!

The Paperman was split from head to toe by Lu Tiejun!

After being split in half, the Papermen quickly turned back into their papier-mâché forms in front of everyone, already dead but with eerie smiles on their faces that were quite terrifying upon first glance.

You, observing closely, spotted a Talisman Paper attached to the forehead of the Paperman, but it was pasted inside the skull, making it difficult to see clearly.

You immediately alerted Lu Tiejun, "Captain Lu, the Talisman controlling the Papermen is at the position of their foreheads; just shoot them right there!"

At that moment, just as two Papermen burst out from behind cover and raised their pistols, you didn’t hesitate and fired two shots, hitting both Papermen in the forehead exactly under the gaze of the Sen Luo Eye!

The two Papermen let out piercing screams and then burst into flames.

"Nice shooting!"

Lu Tiejun gave you a thumbs-up, then communicated the weakness of the Papermen over the radio. With the Papermen’s weakness now known, they all fell amidst the flames as you stormed through the courtyard and burst into the hall.

"P220?"

Lu Tiejun picked up the pistol used by the Papermen from the ground, frowning immediately.

"This isn’t a P220; it just looks somewhat similar," Xian Qianling said, weighing it in her hand, then added, "It must be a 9mm pistol replicated by the Beihai people; it’s average in power and has little recoil—no wonder these light Papermen could use it."

"A weapon exclusive to the Beihai people? Are these Taoists related to the Beihai people too?" Lu Tiejun’s brow furrowed deeply.

Xian Qianling gave a cold glance toward the three Taoists still stubbornly resisting in the hall, "No matter what, let’s capture them first!"

Lu Tiejun nodded and yelled toward the three Taoists in the hall, "You three, if you want to stay alive, throw down your guns, or else..."

"Bang!"

The response was Lu Tiejun’s gunfire and a bullet grazing past his hair!

"Wada xiwanihong..."

One of the Taoists, speaking in unintelligible Beihai language, continuously fired at the direction of Lu Tiejun, appearing ready to die heroically.

"Damn it! You want to die, I’ll send you on your way!"

Lu Tiejun picked up a 95 crossbow rifle and with two bursts, hit the Taoist in the right hand and right leg.

The Taoist fell backwards at the sound, meanwhile, the other two also threw down their pistols and came out from behind their cover.

"That’s more like it; we always treat prisoners of war well."

Lu Tiejun, with his weapon in hand, led the Patrol to surround the three men.

You too came out from behind cover, but looking at these three Taoists, you had a bad feeling.

Although you hadn’t systematically studied Beihai language, with your photographic memory, you could understand the basic everyday language of Beihai.

The man had clearly claimed he was from Beihai. If they weren’t, then the likelihood of them being Taoists was low.

Speaking of Beihai, their unique culture should include love hotels, mixed-gender hot springs, the adult video industry—uh, now’s not the time to think about that.

Besides, there might be things like Ninjas, Onmyoji, although these were copied from others, their later production and promotion were good, making the world believe these were their original creations.

Huh?

Wait, Onmyoji!?

You abruptly turned your head toward the Taoist lying on the ground, who unexpectedly smiled, his face getting increasingly grotesque!

"Not good!" you shouted urgently. "Everyone, retreat! There’s something wrong with these three!"

With your warning, Lu Tiejun hastily directed everyone to spread out, all Patrol members aiming their guns at the three Taoists.

At that moment, all three simultaneously started laughing bizarrely, their bodies violently shaking!
