"Be careful, he’s about to launch another attack!" Pei Yan, who constantly watched the Black-robed Man’s actions, warned loudly at the mont his fingertips glowed.
Imdiately, he couldn’t be bothered to disguise anymore and simply ended the life of the monster in front of him, turning and leaping onto the pond, running quickly around its edge. As he ran, he asked in his mind, "System, if the opponent launches the sa attack as just now, what are the chances I can withstand it?"
"Thirty percent. Based on the characteristics of the attack just now and your current capabilities, I can instantly release a multi-layered composite defense of steel plate, silicone rubber, and then another steel plate. This is only a judgnt based on the previous attack effects, but if the opponent uses that strange disappearing attack to bypass the defense and attack your body directly, our survival chances will significantly decrease. Therefore, I suggest that you release a large number of nanorobots around you to detect the ice needle attack direction imdiately while running quickly," the system voice quickly gave its opinion.
"Agreed!" Without hesitation, Pei Yan approved the system’s proposal, and his left chanical Eye fixed intently on the Black-robed Man’s next move.
At the sa ti, everyone on the scene was on edge, nervously pulling together towards Pei Yan. This ti, under no circumstances could they let the Black-robed Man succeed again!
The attack was still the sa fine, nearly invisible ice needle, but this ti, the mont it left the Black-robed Man’s fingertip, it was locked on by multiple gazes.
"It’s vanished!" Pei Yan shouted, nerves stretched to the limit. As expected, the ice needle disappeared midway through the air in a strange manner, vanishing from everyone’s sight, and even his enhanced chanical Eye failed to capture where it went.
"Eyes of Golden Fla!" Shangxing murmured, his eyes turned red once more. Unlike the Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s Eyes of Golden Fla in performances, Shangxing’s third-level awakened ability not only had the characteristic of seeing through things but could also emit a ray from his eyes composed of his inner source. Once this ray entered an enemy, it acted like lightning triggering an explosion, igniting the opponent’s inner source, Spiritual Qi, and magical energy sources, causing anyone below his level to uncontrollably combust and die due to the energy overload.
However, because this ability also inflicts self-harm and consus a considerable amount of inner source, Shangxing rarely used it unless absolutely necessary. But at this mont, there was no ti for caution as he had made a mistake once and could not afford a second error.
When the Eyes of Golden Fla ability was activated, Shangxing’s vision beca extraordinarily clear and slow, as if the world had been set to slow motion. Through this visual search, he quickly spotted that disappeared ice needle, which seed to not exist on this plane, appearing faint and moving slowly. What astonished Shangxing was according to the needle’s trajectory, its target was not Pei Yan.
"Indestructible!"
Watching Shangxing’s arm get a bowl-sized wound, Pei Yan stood stunned. What’s going on! The target of the ice needle wasn’t himself but Liang Qian on the outer edge of the crowd!
He watched helplessly as the ice needle appeared in front of Liang Qian, seeing Shangxing wrapped in surging inner source rush forward, and witnessing the needle pierce through the captain’s defense, almost penetrating his arm.
"System, can you connect to the video signal on that previous laptop?" Pei Yan asked and descended from the pond, eyes red, facing an oncoming monster without a glance, holding its head while its claws scratched his body, his five fingertips turning into drills, boring into the monster’s scalp bit by bit.
"Connection complete!" the system replied.
At the Investigation Bureau headquarters, Engineer Li grew anxious after the video communication with them was cut off. He knew the entire Investigation Bureau was mobilized, countless calls were coming in, countless orders sent out, and more than twenty dinsional breaches overnight—a historical record.
Teams were dispatched across the country, investigators awaiting orders at ho were reactivated and rushed to nearby incidents, while he was required to stay at headquarters, as it was currently the safest place.
After receiving permission to call his family to confirm their safety, Engineer Li sat blankly in front of the computer, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and waited for the final outco of the next day.
As he daydread about what tomorrow might bring, a ssage requesting communication appeared on the computer. Instinctively, he moved the mouse to click on it.
The scene before him caused a shock, nearly making him drop the teacup. Isn’t this the pond where Pei Yan and the others were fighting earlier? Except this ti, it was from a first-person perspective, as if viewing the scene through soone’s eyes.
"Engineer Li, is that you?" Pei Yan’s restrained voice ca from the computer.
"Yes, it’s , Pei Yan. Where are you, why can’t I see you? Is this cara mounted on you? How are things there?" Engineer Li urgently put the teacup on the table upon hearing Pei Yan’s voice and asked anxiously.
"Not very well, Engineer Li. Why hasn’t the headquarters’ support arrived yet!"
"I inquired, and it’s chaos everywhere, problems cropping up everywhere. Your support was actually on its way but no one expected another forcibly opened dinsional breach to appear on your mission’s periter. The intruders from inside were extrely tricky, causing heavy casualties to the first support team. The second team also got stuck, and the ones heading there now are already the third wave!" Engineer Li sighed, replying with a heavy heart.
Pei Yan was also montarily stunned hearing this, the extre discontent in his heart sowhat abating. It seems the bureau wasn’t ignoring them; there were indeed extenuating circumstances. Thinking of this, he cald his emotions and asked again: "Engineer Li, what’s that final piece of equipnt?"
While speaking, Pei Yan touched his storage ring, absorbing the intelligent system, chanical exoskeleton, and nanorobots from it, leaving only the two big boxes Engineer Li hadn’t introduced. He didn’t know what they were and didn’t dare absorb them easily, but with the current situation, there was no ti for caution.
Because he was ready to go all out.
