At this mont in the hotel lobby, countless elites were still socializing. So were networking, while others were simply making small talk.
Wen Xishu was already very close to Morioka Immortal. He was confident; at this distance, he could initiate a burst action and swiftly assassinate with the Scorpion Knife.
But just as this thought ca up—
A strange black shadow suddenly appeared behind Wen Xishu.
Instinctively, Wen Xishu chose to pause ti.
After completely stopping ti, Wen Xishu looked into the mirror and saw clearly a man with a mask, his entire body covered in purple-black skin, and countless holes all over his skin, standing behind him.
The Rokkasho monster.
Imdiately, Wen Xishu thought of the monster from Rokkasho.
The dense holes all over this man's body were enough to terrify anyone with trypophobia to death on the spot.
The purple-black skin was definitely not a normal, healthy skin color.
Back in Rokkasho, Wen Xishu already knew that Hujiang had actually begun these experints earlier than Rokkasho. However, Rokkasho's experints were large-scale, indiscriminate, and covered almost everyone.
Whereas Hujiang's experints were conducted on a few select individuals.
"I had just ford the thought of attacking and had entered the attack range, and he imdiately noticed . Is this what a trained radiation-modified human is like?"
Wen Xishu's guess was correct.
When he ended the pause, he imdiately dodged. Even though he had anticipated everything, the sheer speed difference resulted in him getting struck in the back by the opponent's hand knife.
Bam!
The imnse force sent Wen Xishu's body flying, drawing screams from countless people, and the nearby social elites quickly dispersed.
Only Morioka remained, watching Wen Xishu with a very calm gaze.
"Please do not panic, everyone. The awards ceremony is about to begin. To better showcase our product... we, of course, need so performance effects."
After crashing through several crystal dining tables, Wen Xishu's body finally ca to a stop.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he gazed incredulously at the radiation-modified human with skin full of holes.
At this mont, the senator collaborating with Morioka Immortal had already stood on the stage, speaking loudly:
"Don't be afraid, everyone. Morioka Immortal has long known that there would be an assassination attempt tonight."
At the ntion of assassination, the crowd burst into exclamations.
But the senator quickly cald them down:
"Our product is superhuman, a super Yamato guard! Their appearance will follow the ninja style of the Hujiang era, and they possess incredibly strong power, speed, and various supernatural abilities we can only imagine!"
"Moreover, they are utterly loyal and completely obedient, impervious to various external influences. Once given an order, they will execute it without fail!"
"This is the result of our continuous efforts! With them, we can survive the apocalypse!"
"You all are the elite of your respective fields, the finest humans in all of Hujiang. You must have realized that bizarre tales are constantly erging worldwide, strange incidents are becoming more frequent, and the apocalypse is imminent."
"Especially here in Hujiang. Originally, more people were supposed to attend today, but sadly, so of our peers have already perished in these strange events."
"But now, if we can mass-produce these super Yamato guards, we will no longer fear the apocalypse."
"Next, please watch as our super guards defeat the assassin."
The crowd exclaid again, an assassin? Was this a real assassin or a planned performance? What if the assassin killed soone?
This was a live broadcast. Were they really going to show such a bloody scene?
But soon, so wealthy businessn started to get excited and clapped.
"A new era has arrived!"
They were elated.
At this ti, Wen Xishu understood that killing Morioka would be extrely difficult. Morioka had probably long awakened so danger-predicting ability.
To be precise, it wasn't an awakening but rather an ability obtained passively through Morioka Hitomi swallowing misfortune.
He had beco part of the product demonstration.
Morioka looked at Wen Xishu:
"You ca to my house, didn't you? You will all die because you offended the gods."
Morioka didn't even leave the distance between him and Wen Xishu; instead, he took a step forward.
"But you should be grateful for your death. After all, your death will mark the beginning of a new era in Hujiang."
Two ters.
Wen Xishu ignored Morioka Immortal's trash talk and suddenly exerted force. Although he couldn't use his ultimate kick, he still had great explosive power.
As Morioka approached, Wen Xishu first confird through the pause function that the nearby "Ninja" had not moved. Then he deactivated the pause and burst into action!
The Scorpion Knife, sharp as ever, instantly thrust toward Morioka.
But then, a terrifying airflow swept through the entire hall, even lifting many ladies' long skirts.
That purple-black shadow, like a ghost, had already interposed itself between Wen Xishu and Morioka.
Morioka hadn't expected Wen Xishu's explosiveness to be so terrifying.
He first showed a look of terror but then quickly turned to mockery as the radiation-modified human approached:
"Do you see, everyone! This is the result of our efforts! We will beco the masters of the new era!"
The terrifying radiation-modified body blocked Wen Xishu. Wen Xishu felt that the opponent's strength and speed far exceeded his understanding.
