Xixikeke Street, east of Jin Yun Road.
Police cars sped past, helping to block the route. Residents in the area had been notified early to lock their doors and windows and not go outside. Some firm personnel who had caught wind of the situation were observing from the periphery.
Whoosh!
A figure, however, sped past at a speed faster than that of an ordinary vehicle.
"The eastern defense line of Jin Yun Road has been breached! The target is breaking into the Closed Community!"
"The perimeter encirclement has been established."
"The Killing demon's characteristics show resistance to hot weapons, please be aware."
"Pay attention to the target's speed. The target is not just a Killing demon; he has something else on him!"
Several uniformed individuals on motorcycles chased closely behind, but they could only barely keep up, hanging far behind the figure in front without being shaken off.
"Damn it! What kind of speed is that? His Killing demon characteristic is 'machete,' not 'speed,' right?!" one of the uniformed individuals on a motorcycle behind couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's those shoes, the Phantasms shoes that have been circulating recently. Sure enough, it's the masterpiece of Illusion, the bait. He seems to have already distinguished himself, gaining the favor of that Illusion," another uniformed individual on a vehicle next to him said with a grave expression.
Other uniformed individuals were responsible for contacting the police and some firm parties.
The uniformed individual contacting the firm parties was drenched in sweat: "Damn it, Banmu's side definitely did something. They're obstructing us from mobilizing personnel from nearby firms!"
"It's fine. They're just a rabble; we didn't count on them anyway. Contact Shenlai Firm directly via the special line," the leader of the convoy calmly ordered.
"Yes!"
The chase approached the Closed Community, a place where all sorts of people mingled. It was clear that Feierqi intended to use this area to escape. However, the encirclement had already been set up in advance, and a rocket launcher fired directly, locking onto Feierqi's trajectory.
Boom!
Amidst the swirling flames, Feierqi suddenly burst out. From his back extended several... legs?!
Not hands, but legs!
Although human feet hung from the ends, the leg parts resembled those of a locust, strangely folding and then springing out, covered in sharp barbs. As soon as Feierqi broke through, he held two blood-red machetes in his hands, his body a mix of red light and dark green, like a monstrous killing machine.
His pure black eyes were actually densely packed insect compound eyes. Feierqi grinned grimly: "So many people, I don't have time to text all of you, so I'll just kill you all in advance!"
Suddenly, flashes of blades and swords glinted, and cold weapons containing blood-red factors forced Feierqi to dodge. Members of Shenlai Firm arrived in time.
It was still Xila and her Teacher He.
"Another Killing demon!" Xila frowned tightly, looking at Feierqi before her.
"Calm down, Xila. The more hatred you feel, the calmer you must be," Teacher He reminded, raising his sword.
"I understand, Teacher," Xila gripped her twin blades tightly.
"Be careful of his machetes. That's his Killing demon characteristic. If you get cut, no matter how strong your body is, it will bleed. Feierqi, as a Killing demon, is just a clumsy brute, but intelligence shows that the Illusion on him helps compensate for this," Teacher He frowned slightly, looking a bit grave.
Several members of Shenlai Firm, including the two, engaged Feierqi in combat. Feierqi's invincible machetes, coupled with the speed granted by the Illusion, and the harassment from those strange insect legs, allowed him to fight one against many without falling behind for a time.
However, their main task was to delay, and the uniformed individuals on motorcycles quickly arrived at the scene.
The leader among the uniformed individuals directly raised a white, sword-like ruler in his hand. Golden lightning flashed, erupting at a short distance with a speed that Feierqi couldn't react to, striking him.
Boom!
Thunder roared.
Feierqi was struck, his bones aching, his body charred black, and the insect legs on him successively broke, suffering heavy damage.
The people from Shenlai Firm had been told to retreat by Teacher He the moment he saw that person raise the white ruler, and they watched the shocking scene before them.
Teacher He looked at the person who unleashed this move, also a middle-aged man, with black and white hair that looked gray from a distance, a handsome face, a serious expression, and a winding, tree-branch-like lightning scar on his neck.
The man dismounted from the motorcycle, his figure tall and slender. Paired with the Processing Bureau's uniform, he exuded a scholarly aura, but the crackling electric white ruler in his right hand spoke of his terror.
"Chief Bai Shi, still so sharp..." Teacher He sighed.
Crack!
Suddenly, an unusual sound came out.
Feierqi, who was thought to have been charred to a crisp, moved again. Chief Bai Shi frowned, and with a flick of his white ruler, he unleashed a sword-like bolt of lightning, completely engulfing the pile of charcoal.
But dense footsteps suddenly resounded, and a figure appeared behind Chief Bai Shi. He turned swiftly as if he had anticipated it, striking the opponent's face with his ruler.
Although he was knocked flying in a disheveled state, "Feierqi" actually blocked the strike and was unharmed.
"Feierqi" chuckled strangely: "Reality is truly interesting..."
His skin had already turned into a black and dark green insect exoskeleton, with limbs sprouting everywhere. His lower body elongated like a centipede, and a scorpion-like stinger protruded from his tail.
Chief Bai Shi's expression remained unchanged as he silently resumed his attack, the white ruler tilted, and lightning descended again.
Unexpectedly, "Feierqi" in front of him shrank his body, then suddenly burst forth, disappearing from his original spot.
"Hmm?"
Everyone observing the scene was stunned. They scanned their surroundings but didn't see the opponent relying on speed to appear and disappear anywhere.
"Up there," Chief Bai Shi looked up immediately.
"Feierqi" leaped into the air, landing on a building by the roadside, taking a radical approach and directly making his escape.
He seemed to be preparing for a desperate struggle, but seeing that Chief Bai Shi was not to be trifled with and that he would likely suffer a bad end if he continued to be besieged, he chose to feign an attack and run away.
At this moment, it had fully invaded reality. All its limbs moved in unison, and its seemingly massive body moved at a speed even more terrifying than Feierqi's previous performance.
Everyone below only saw a large black shadow flicker, then disappear directly into the shadows between the buildings. Those below were powerless to intercept him.
"Chase!" Chief Bai Shi quickly shouted.
This intelligence came too suddenly, but to prevent the information from becoming outdated, they chose to act immediately. As a result, they suffered from insufficient preparation, not expecting such a skilled speedster.
With the target intent on escaping, it would likely be difficult to catch him.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha, reality is so good! A strong, perfect body, it was indeed correct not to choose that trash! Can Lu Lu do it!? Hahahaha!"
As he fled, "Feierqi's" expression twisted into a knot, already resembling an insect's face. His laughter at this moment was even more hideous, and he continued to speak wildly.
Weaving through the buildings, it felt incredibly exhilarated, then, as it jumped from one building to another, it leaped up excitedly.
Its elongated figure, beneath the mist and moonlight, wantonly displayed its arrogance and excitement!
Hm?
Why was there a shadow above it? And... it seemed to be two?
"Feierqi" suddenly looked up, and against the moonlight, he saw "Jiang Si's" even wilder smiling face, her bright gray eyes like the second and third full moons of the night!
"Good evening~," "Jiang Si" greeted with a giggle.
Then she stomped down.
Bang!
"Feierqi" fell straight down, crashing onto the ground, his carapace extensively shattered.
"Jiang Si" floated gracefully to the ground, dangling on red lines.
"How is it you... no... and you!" "Feierqi" struggled to his feet, panting, recalling Jiang Si through Feierqi's memories, and then recalling the terrifying experience from this morning, the black tear marks and gray eyes.
Why were these two mixed together?
"I'm here to kill you. First, I'll cut off all your legs, then dissect your carapace from head to tail, and finally, stuff your tail into your mouth and thread it back out through your butt," "Jiang Si" said, opening one hand and wiggling her fingers, articulating her joints and making a terrible declaration.
"Feierqi" felt very bad and still wanted to run, but noticing that he was already surrounded by a vast net of red lines, like a fly caught in a spiderweb, he could only let out a roaring gasp: "Aaaah!"
"Jiang Si" smiled and pushed her hands forward.
A large amount of red lines blew forward like a blood-red wind.
Whoosh!
"Feierqi," who was about to lunge forward, paused. All his limbs, and even his tail, were cleanly severed, including the four limbs of his human body.
Her fingers continued to move lightly. The severed limbs were pierced by red lines, which then controlled them to stab back into Feierqi's exoskeleton, dissecting and splitting it with practiced ease.
"Feierqi's" roar instantly turned into a painful shriek.
He was wrong!
Reality... was not beautiful at all!
They were all!
Monsters!
Until the carapace was completely peeled off, he himself was pierced by red lines and hung in mid-air, adjusted into position, and his severed tail was also lifted by red lines.
"Jiang Si" leaped into the air, her figure stretching out under the misty night sky and moonlight, delivering a perfect aerial bicycle kick towards the tail!
The tail shot out, aimed at Feierqi's screaming mouth, entering through the mouth and exiting through the rear, returning to its original position.
"Jiang Si" descended from the air, twisted her body mid-air, raised both hands high, and as she landed, spread her legs apart, sweeping her hands forcefully down to her sides.
"Siu~~~!"
