Chapter 296: Chapter 273 Gouchen

"The anticipated scene where the interstellar soldiers stormed into the compartment and opened fire did not happen. Instead, the armed personnel only held megaphones and shouted: ’City Hall is arresting suspects of a terrorist attack, please cooperate with our work, everyone stand up, and proceed to be inspected one by one.’"

While speaking, more than a dozen Stormtroopers each wielded a device, entering different compartments.

These devices resembled enlarged versions of supermarket barcode scanners, with a LED screen embedded at the end of the gun body.

Li Cheng quietly activated the special effect of the Information Integration Glasses and read the details of the device:

This is a high-frequency millimeter wave inspector, capable of detecting not only firearms, items, and inflammable/explosive materials but also human breathing, heart rate, and pulse.

Most toys do not have heart rates or pulses.

’Indirectly confirms that Eugene or the Toy City Hall, while aware of the players in this sector, not sure of their exact location, hence the extensive dragnet-style searches.’

Li Cheng thought to himself, silently placing his hand over his heart, quietly activating the Assembly Puppet Effect.

In the subway compartment, the passengers were slightly restless but soon calmed down and stood up from their seats on their own, waiting for the inspection.

A roughly 40-centimeter-tall bunny doll, dressed in a suit and tie like a white-collar worker, who was originally listening to music with headphones, was also asked by a Stormtrooper to stand up.

"Huh?"

The rabbit doll widened his eyes, raised his hand to point at himself, and said loudly in a street Black rapper’s tone, "Man, aren’t all the suspects of the terrorist attack humanoid toys? Do I also need to be inspected?"

Theoretically, a rabbit doll less than forty centimeters tall indeed poses no threat of committing crimes, the Stormtrooper shrugged and said, "It’s the regulations from above, I don’t like it either."

"Regulations my ass. Every year I pay so much tax for my law firm, is it all for this crap?"

After grumbling for a while, the rabbit doll reluctantly removed the headphones and stepped onto a long bench.

"Safe, all clear."

Stormtroopers holding the millimeter wave scanners swiftly checked each passenger in the compartments.

Gray Rain, who was essentially a Liquid Metal Robot, passed the inspection easily — she didn’t have a heartbeat.

As for Li Cheng, when the Stormtrooper scanned him with the millimeter wave inspector, there was no reaction either.

This was because Li Cheng had just activated the Assembly Puppet Effect, having removed his heart and placed it in the Backpack, replacing it with a small fish tank water pump powered by its own battery.

A heart, after all, is an organ that serves to propel blood flow, essentially the same as a pump.

Additionally, the pump that Li Cheng chose was a silent centrifugal pump specifically for fish tanks bought from Taobao, extremely quiet, and did not produce fluctuating blood flow, thus also no heartbeat or pulse.

In the display results of the millimeter wave scanner, Li Cheng looked no different from the residents of Toy City.

On the other side of the compartment, another Stormtrooper approached Gouchen, "Citizen, please stand up."

"..."

Gouchen, still holding the magazine, glanced at Li Cheng who had passed the inspection and then at the Stormtrooper in front of him holding the scanner, lowered his head, and remained silent.

"Citizen, please stand up."

The Stormtrooper repeated the request, noticing Gouchen still looking at the magazine, felt something was amiss, and immediately exchanged glances with the other Stormtroopers and the interstellar soldiers stationed outside the compartment (They were too tall to enter),

and inconspicuously reached towards the thermal laser gun at his waist.

The remaining Stormtroopers silently moved closer, surrounding Gouchen.

"I guarantee, if you touch me, you will die."

Gouchen didn’t look up, speaking indifferently.

The Stormtrooper paused his actions, turned his head, and looked behind. Seeing his comrades had raised their guns, aiming at Gouchen, he still mustered the courage, turned the thermal laser gun into a stick, and jabbed it under Gouchen’s armpit, trying to forcibly lift him.

Snap.

The moment the muzzle of the laser gun touched Gouchen’s body, Protective Sword Light spontaneously burst from within him, piercing the Stormtrooper’s body.

"..."

The Stormtrooper stood frozen, and the next second, along with his Plastized Alloy Armor, split into hundreds of even blocks, scattering on the ground.

"So, knowing you would die, why even try?"

Gouchen sighed lightly, putting down the shopping magazine.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

No words were needed; the remaining Stormtroopers in the carriage and the Interstellar Soldiers on the platform all simultaneously pulled their triggers, unleashing a barrage of firepower.

The sounds of Thermal Laser Guns and Blast Guns reverberated, the carriage instantly becoming riddled with holes, terrifying civilians into screaming and ducking in a frenzy to escape.

Unperturbed, Gouchen set down the shattered magazine and slowly rose.

Each time his body was struck by the thermal lasers and physical bullets, it blurred, allowing the bullets to pass through.

[Item Name: Optical Deviation Protective Device]

[Type: Consumable Item]

"Holy shit, invincibility cheat."

Crouching on the ground, Gray Rain was utterly shocked; as the Legendary Endurance King, she had always endured damage physically and had never seen anyone openly using an invincibility cheat.

Had the atmosphere been right, she would have gone to ask, "Dude, where did you get this cheat from?"

"Screw cheats, let’s go."

Li Cheng pulled Gray Rain, buried their heads, and quickly fled the carriage.

Gouchen didn’t stop them but pulled out two iron swords of different lengths from the void, floated up, and began his slaughter.

With the [Optical Deviation Protective Device]in effect, firearm-type weapons posed minimal threat to Gouchen, allowing him to slash mercilessly through the metro like a tiger among sheep, cutting down every toy he saw.

Stuffed fabrics flew around, and plastic splashed; from the toy’s perspective, the scene was akin to Hell.

An Interstellar Soldier figurine, with agile and skilled movements, quietly crawled over the top of the carriage, flipped its body to kick open the window, and jumped into the carriage, stabbing a Tactical Knife into Gouchen’s neck with a "pfft"—this blow broke through 30% of the defense and actually caused damage.

However, before the Interstellar Soldier could pull the Tactical Knife and sever the enemy’s head,

Gouchen counterattacked with a sword, chopped off the assailant’s wrist, pulled out the blade, and from his Backpack took out a Life Potion and guzzled it.

The wound healed instantly, and Gouchen, red with frenzy, ignoring bullets coming from all directions, floated towards the Interstellar Soldier whose hand was severed, grabbed his helmet, and lifted him up.

"Very good, you’re the first toy that has caused me damage. As a reward, I grant you this."

Speaking low, Gouchen, holding the Interstellar Soldier figurine, floated out of the carriage onto another track in the metro tunnel.

Woo—

Bright headlights lit up in the distance as the second train rapidly approached; the Lego driver, seeing the floating Gouchen and his captive, hurriedly tried to brake.

At this moment, everyone understood Gouchen’s intentions. The captive Interstellar Soldier struggled desperately, his punches falling on the Otherworld player’s body, dodged by the [Optical Deviation Protective Device]like bullets.

Gouchen, with indifferent eyes, watched the approaching glare of the headlights. Two iron swords impaled the Interstellar Soldier’s arms by themselves, forcing him to raise his arms like the crucified Christ.

It was all too late.

Boom!

The high-speed metro train violently collided with the two. The front of the train crushed and deformed against the Interstellar Soldier’s thick Ceramic Steel Armor.

The Lego driver was the first victim; he smashed through the glass, flew out, and rolled onto the ground, limbs severed.

Inside the carriage, the civilians were first thrown airborne and then violently collided with the Interstellar Soldier, crushed by his solid, wall-like Ceramic Steel Armor.

Like Moses parting the sea, Gouchen, holding the Interstellar Soldier, split the sea called "Severed Limbs and Broken Arms."

The entire six-carriage train passed, the toy passengers inside, regardless of age, gender, or type, all perished.

"..." Gouchen casually tossed aside the battered Interstellar Soldier; toy battery electrolyte dripped onto him, dark red like blood.

He floated and turned around, his cold gaze fixed on every living being still standing on the platform.
