I’m Really Scared
Chapter 45: How to Fight Without Weapons?

"Farewell, Weapons"—this was the nickname for "Worker Bee Two" Duan Ning's ability.

In fact, her ability's official name was "Killing Intent Seal."

This trait-type ability meant that as long as the opponent harbored killing intent, they would be unable to wield any weapon capable of inflicting harm.

The determination of what constituted a "harmful weapon" was based on what the opponent believed in their heart.

If the opponent thought the object they held could harm the enemy, it fell under this category.

In actual combat, Duan Ning's ability often had unimaginable effects.

Especially for the "Immortals" who still fought with cold weapons, this ability could directly nullify most of their strength.

As a seasoned C-level Esper, she had far more combat experience than Tao Luo, superior fighting skills, and a steadier demeanor. Therefore, she was assigned to assist "Worker Bee One" in the encirclement of the Special Security Group.

Indeed, in "Death Hive's" view, this operation was their encirclement of the Special Security Group.

It was only a matter of time before the Special Security Group followed the clues and found them. Whether it was an ambush or a direct attack, it was a matter of life and death. The "Death Hive," always hidden and engaged in killing, was accustomed to such things.

After all... their experimental locations were far more numerous than the Special Security Group knew. Internal personnel were only aware of the parts they were responsible for, and the others wouldn't be exposed in the short term.

The outcome had long been determined; this was not something the Special Security Group could hinder!

"But being constantly harassed is very frustrating... So, tonight, some people from the Special Security Group must die to keep them in check."

Duan Ning looked at the factory in the night with a calm heart.

Following "Death Hive's" usual practice, upon detecting any signs of investigation by the Special Security Group, they would immediately change locations.

But now, they did the opposite, gathering the nearby "Bee Swarm" members here.

Didn't the Special Security Group realize this was a trap? Maybe they did, but for them, this was their first chance to disrupt the "Death Hive's" experiments and they wouldn't pass it up.

"But, with just the strength of the Special Security Group in Hang City, they are simply courting death."

Duan Ning scoffed at the three-member team of Unit You.

They were just kids. Every time they appeared in the intelligence reports, they were always in a sorry state, making it hard to imagine how such people could engage in life-and-death battles.

Seeing the mist rising outside, Duan Ning knew Du Xiao had begun his operation.

Du Xiao's "Mist" not only interfered with the enemy's vision over a large area but also carried mild toxicity and had hallucinogenic effects.

More terrifyingly, his mist was tangible and controllable...

What was thought to be light, airy mist in the environment could suddenly attack people, and most would be caught off guard.

"Since the boss's domain has also been activated, it should be about time, right? I should also meet this 'Immortal' girl."

"I haven't hunted 'Immortals' for a long time. I hope this one surprises me after her weapons are sealed~"

Duan Ning smiled sweetly, stretched her limbs, and was about to leave the factory when she suddenly noticed an extra person outside the window.

"Huh?"

Duan Ning was stunned, certain that this person had appeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye.

It was a black-haired young man holding a flashlight, looking scholarly and handsome, who was observing the entire cast iron factory under the light.

The beam from the flashlight was brazen, sweeping directly in front of Duan Ning, almost provocative.

"Spatial-type?"

Duan Ning raised an eyebrow, also feeling provoked.

But the young man seemed like he had wandered into a haunted house, startled and nervous, even showing helplessness and cursing as if he wanted to leave but couldn't.

"Wandered in? Impossible!"

Duan Ning was very sure.

Because during Du Xiao's domain presence, spatial abilities would also be interfered with, so entering the mist silently required at least a C-level Esper.

And an Esper of that level wouldn't be unaware that this place would become a battlefield tonight.

But thoughts were just thoughts, and Duan Ning wouldn't stand idly by. She directly broke through the window and leaped out, her gaze fierce. "No matter where you came from, your luck is bad today!"

The surrounding mist began to surge.

The will of the Worker Bees could be transmitted to each other and was also used by Du Xiao in his abilities, turning the mist into a weapon with the cooperation of other Worker Bees.

The mist gathered around Duan Ning, like hundreds of hands, suddenly sweeping towards the opponent.

The young man was stunned, then showed extreme panic, turned, and ran.

Before Duan Ning could laugh, she saw the young man draw a gun and, without hesitation, shoot at her.

Duan Ning's expression changed as she dodged to the side. Before she could catch her breath, she heard an explosion.

"Boom!"

"Incendiary round?!"

Duan Ning was somewhat shocked, staggering from the shockwave, her chest aching.

"Sure enough, not simple!" Duan Ning thought, her mind racing. "That panicked look was just an act to make me lower my guard. Very cunning."

"When did the Special Security Group recruit such a person?"

At this moment, she assumed the person was sent by the Special Security Group to deal with them.

"But if it's just weapons... that plays right into my hands!"

Duan Ning reached out, staring intently at the handgun, and activated her ability.

Seeing the other party's stunned and somewhat horrified expression, Duan Ning smiled and pressed her advantage.

——

"Shit, a weapon-sealing ability?!"

Guan Shan was dumbfounded, staring at the prompt from the simulator, completely at a loss.

What kind of monster was this? So malicious! As everyone knows, playing a horror game with weapons and one without is a vastly different experience.

With weapons, there was at least some confidence. Without weapons... there was nothing! Guan Shan looked at the maggot composed of countless arms rushing towards him again, feeling his scalp tingle and his whole body unwell.

"At this point, all I can do is... run!"

Guan Shan gritted his teeth and continued to run, with the monster in pursuit.

He didn't even dare to take out other weapons, fearing they would be seized again, which would force him to surrender.

No matter how hard Guan Shan ran, [Gravity Manipulation] eventually needed a cooldown, and two legs couldn't match so many legs. He was soon caught.

The arms emitted piercing screams as the maggot reared its head and crushed down.

"Damn!"

Guan Shan rolled on the ground... but didn't roll out of range. He had to use [Butcher's Heart], raising his arm to block.

145!

A blood-red number floated up.

Guan Shan gritted his teeth and held on, realizing it wasn't as strenuous as he thought.

"Huh?"
