Chapter 292 - Chapter 292 Chapter 292 Siege and Escape (Part 2)

Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Siege and Escape (Part 2) Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Siege and Escape (Part 2) “You should’ve checked the Almanac before heading out today,” the beautiful long-haired girl said as she walked slowly with two sweet Little Angels by her side, a gentle smile still on her face despite the bone-chilling coldness it carried–an alarm screaming in her bones, not a physical or psychological effect, but an astonishing intuition forged in life-and-death situations signaling a stark warning, “Look, you’re really out of luck now…”

“Argh!”

Before she could finish speaking, Black Snake let out a bellow and threw a violent punch straight at the woman in front of him.

Power Users in the Mysterious system are fragile, a truth known to all Superpower Users because their abilities offer no way to enhance the body.

But in the next second, he felt regret: a seemingly delicate and pale hand caught his punch with ease, and then, the world spun around.

Could it be she wasn’t a Mysterious system Power User? Had he been tricked?

Watching the “Robber” fly off like a cannonball and break two columns, Big Sister exhaled and then burst into a happy smile, “Hmm, the Gene Enhancer really works… That hit was definitely professional! Pandora, did you get that on camera?”

See, even the normally mature and sensible Big Sister can have her childish moments…

Pandora nodded at these words, blinked her eyes, and a sharp three-dimensional projection appeared not far in front, displaying the moment Big Sister had sent the “Robber” flying.

If the Commanders of Pandora Army saw their once iron-fisted and strict General doing such a trivial thing, they would surely cry…

But just as Big Sister was about to conclude the operation and leave, Visca suddenly opened her eyes, the blood-red catlike pupils staring fixedly ahead, “There’s still a life signal!”

No sooner had the words fallen than a huge figure, swift as lightning, surged out of the smoke and dust that had yet to fully dissipate, and charged at Big Sister, who appeared utterly unguarded.

She had been careless–a thought flashed through Big Sister’s mind. Apparently, her experience with enemies was still not enough; since the opponent was a Superpower User, how could she have been so easily killed in close combat before even using her Ability? It seemed that the moment she had sent him flying, he had already been using feign death to deceive her.

However, despite a moment of surprise, Big Sister showed no panic. Analyzing his continuous close-combat tactics, the man called Black Snake was likely a Body Enhancement Power User. She had felt his extraordinary strength in the brief exchange, and now it appeared he possessed an even greater resistance to damage and speed. Although the Gene Enhancer from Xyrin Technology had allowed her to throw him off with ease, that was due to the element of surprise and his underestimation. In a real hand-to-hand fight, apart from sheer strength, she probably wouldn’t stand a chance against this specialized Power User.

But that wasn’t an issue–her fighting style was never about close combat…

Big Sister’s smile turned sinister as her appearance darkened due to her Ability activation, then she snapped her fingers and easily stepped aside.

Black Snake suddenly lost balance in mid-air and fell embarrassingly to the ground, sliding all the way to Big Sister’s feet, his body contorting in pain like a boiled shrimp.

Cramps…over a hundred muscles in his body cramped at once, including his tongue and stomach lining, even the sphincters in his intestines… This fully demonstrated that Big Sister–the darkened one–was not someone to be trifled with…

“You have a strong body,” Big Sister said from above, her face still wearing a soft smile, “so the best way to deal with you is using your own muscles… It’s best if you lay there quietly and wait for our people to come and pick up, as of now, you’re a beacon for misfortune, every movement you make greatly increases your chance of meeting with an accident… Well, I did warn you.”

As she spoke, she looked at Black Snake who had just tried to get up, only to break both arms and wail in agony.

Meanwhile, two Robbers who had already fled the mall and discarded their masks to blend into the crowd, met up again.

“Black Snake’s done.”

The taller and thinner man murmured, then led the way to the pre-arranged retreat point.

“There doesn’t seem to be an Official Level person with such weird abilities in the Superpower Team…” the other man, looking rather bookish, also murmured before following close behind.

Even in the busiest places, there are always corners that are rarely trodden or forgotten, and a few minutes later, the two men found themselves in a dark, narrow alleyway. It was the backside of a large entertainment center whose former use was unknown, but now it served as a dumping ground for construction waste. The decrepit alley was filled with rusted and severely bent metal scaffolding–the remnants of a renovation from the neighboring entertainment center meant to be discarded and forgotten.

Scavengers might see this place as a Holy Land, but no one yet realized the “wealth” of resources it held.

The escape route was here, with a door not far ahead offering an exit…

But just as the two men thought they were about to successfully wrap up their unlucky mission, two figures suddenly appeared: a sweet-faced young girl with short, shiny black hair reaching her neck, and a small girl, probably no more than ten years old, curiously looking their way with her fingers in her mouth.

Qianqian and Little Baobao, of course, couldn’t instant teleport. Their sudden appearance was simply Qianqian playing around on a whim. She first stopped time over a considerably large area around them, then leisurely walked behind the opposition with Little Baobao in tow, ending up about ten meters in front of them. During this time, Little Baobao, out of curiosity, ran out to tug on the oddly-shaped metal frames three times, and Qianqian had to carry Little Baobao back each time. Afterward, she took Little Baobao, whose hands were covered in rust, to a nearby water pipe to wash their hands. She snapped a cute photo of Little Baobao, who was inspecting their clean hands after washing, and at the entrance of the abandoned corridor, she wrote, “Xu Qianqian and Little Baobao were here.” Because the writing wasn’t pretty, she reversed time to rewrite it. Only then did she stop in front of the “robbers,” who had been standing stupidly for a long time, and spent three minutes selecting a pose…

In the end, the two unlucky guys being toyed with saw the “suddenly appeared” girl and loli in front of them…

They had no idea what those two extremely bored individuals had been up to just now…

“The weather’s not bad today,” Qianqian looked up at the sky, then shrugged her shoulders, “It’s sunny with a moderate ultraviolet index on Netherworld Road, quite suitable for reincarnation.”

The two men exchanged a glance, then the gentlemanly one suddenly raised his right hand. The rebar and metal frames stacked around them immediately floated up into the air and viciously hurtled towards the girl in front of them. The other lanky man seemed to make no move, just clenching his fists, and the floating steel was instantly entwined with dazzling blue and white electric light, a perfect testament to their usual teamwork as seasoned partners.

As we’ve already mentioned, the area was already filled with scrap rebar and metal pieces. For a superpower user who manipulates objects, the “ammo” here was frustratingly abundant. And of course, you couldn’t expect a tiny corridor cluttered with miscellaneous items to be very wide. So when the countless pieces of steel debris took to the air, carrying shimmering electric light in one direction, it was like a wall of lightning and blades forged from steel moving sideways, a naturally spectacular sight. The two men responsible were just as appreciative, seemingly already picturing the two girls being destroyed by sharp metal spikes and rampant high voltage.

They assumed their opponents could be space magic power users–this was their judgment. However, despite the formidable strength of space magic users, they were not overly concerned. The ability controlled by the gentlemanly man: an electromagnetic field was considered a nemesis to space abilities. In the disordered magnetic field, space abilities were quite susceptible to interference. Although the interference was not overwhelmingly strong, for a human to manipulate space was inherently dangerous. Any direct interference could lead to catastrophic consequences, so when that metallic storm surged forth with crackling electric light, they thought it was all over.

But just then, that cold voice suddenly came from behind them: “To be honest, your resistance looks quite good visually, but it’s just a waste of my time…”

The two girls in front of them had disappeared…

“Impossi-” the gentlemanly man managed to sputter before his entire body was wracked with excruciating pain.

“Don’t say impossible,” Qianqian took two steps back with Little Baobao, letting the enemy who had all his tendons severed fall to the ground, “In front of time, everything is possible.”

A thin, blood-soaked sheet of metal was casually tossed to the ground by Qianqian–she had slowly torn open the opponent’s muscles with this item just moments before. Well, we might predict that Qianqian, once she returns to her regular self in the following days, will inevitably fall into a severe state of appetite loss…

The gentlemanly man, now completely incapacitated, screamed in agony. Despite the heart-wrenching pain, he couldn’t even end his own life; the highly poisonous substances hidden in his teeth had vanished at some point, and the intense pain had left him unable to think.

“So annoying…” Qianqian muttered, then kicked the back of the other’s head. Suddenly, the world went quiet…

She then turned her attention to the other person.

At this moment, the lanky man finally realized that death was imminent.

The girl in front of him still bore the likeness of the girl next door, but now, he suddenly noticed the cruelty hidden beneath her sweet smile and the madness in her eyes.

He had to escape!

This thought flashed through the lanky man’s mind before he fell to the ground–a robust man in his twenties beforehand, yet an elderly man with white hair laid on the ground in the end.

“Well, it was indeed due to old age… But according to my estimate, you should have starved to death first… Time is really full of contradictions…” Qianqian mumbled to herself in confusion as she kicked the man lying there.

“Yiya… Old… ya…” Little Baobao reached out their little hands, pressing on the old man’s face, which displayed an expression of utter horror, then said in surprise.

“Uh…” Qianqian suddenly seemed to remember something, even in her reversed personality state she exclaimed in shock, “Oh no! If Ah Jun finds out I let Little Baobao see this… he’s definitely going to be angry!”

The belatedly aware Dark Girl, overwhelmed by the sudden emergence of a huge crisis, kicked the dying old man with vexation, saying petulantly, “Hmph, I was thinking of keeping everyone alive… But now, one of you has to die!”

With that, she took out a sparkling coin and lightly tossed it.

“Clang–” The coin hit the ground.

“What a pity.” Qianqian shrugged, then kicked and broke the spine of the young man whose tendons had been severed.

“As for you…” Qianqian leaned in close to the “old man” lying on the ground, petrified with terror, “Congratulations, you’ve earned an extra 72 hours of life…”
