Nullification

Qin Rang retreated more than ten meters until his back hit the wall before he stopped.

Mi Chuchu's intervention successfully bought everyone time to react.

An Ying transformed the Bamboo Umbrella, pointed the gun at Qin Rang, and unleashed a torrent of bullets without mercy.

"Da da--"

The bullet struck Qin Rang, Qin Rang immediately accelerated to the sides, moving so fast that only a faint blue afterimage could be seen.

An Ying's eyes were fixed on his movement trajectory, and she could accurately locate him and fire each time his afterimage disappeared.

Qin Rang dodged some bullets, but others lodged inside his body.

The bullets were specially made by An Ying; after hitting flesh, they would explode inside the body, creating horrific holes in the back.

Blood continued to flow down the wound, but Qin Rang seemed to feel no pain, only slowing down his pace slightly.

An Ying aimed at his head, but hesitated to pull the trigger.

Even though Qin Rang was much slower than before and easier to shoot, An Ying didn't dare to fire.

Is he killing Qin Rang now, or the Evil Ghost Mask monster?

What if he had killed Qin Rang...?

He couldn't bring himself to kill his own captain.

An Ying hesitated, Tao Yuan, holding the Chainsaw, didn't dare to really go all out. They could only work together with Mi Chuchu to deplete his energy in an attempt to remove the Evil Ghost Mask Weird Object.

Every time Wang Ding's whip fell, it failed due to the Rules of the Evil Ghost Mask. So he simply put the whip away and took out an Ancient Book to help everyone increase their speed.

An Ying's speed increased, and he, who was already agile, disappeared in an instant, becoming difficult to catch.

Qin Rang quickly turned his attention to the others.

A gust of wind came from behind his ear, and Tao Yuan used his backhand to hold the Chainsaw behind his head to block it.

Thump!

The immense impact caused her blood to surge, and she lost her balance and fell forward, but fortunately a long green Long Staff caught her in time.

Tang Pin swept past her and slammed her stick hard into Qin Rang's back.

Qin Rang stumbled forward, and Tang Pin was about to continue her pursuit when she saw the Evil Ghost Mask's head suddenly rotate 180 degrees, its eyes fixed on her.

"No! Get out of the way!" Tao Yuan shoved Tang Pin aside with all his might.

However, Qin Rang's speed completely exceeded everyone's expectations. In just a moment, he flashed behind Tang Pin, his fingers forming claws that instantly pierced through her chest.

Tang Pin's pupils contracted sharply, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood. She looked down at the hand protruding from her back, gritted her teeth, and still gripped the Long Staff tightly.

Just as Qin Rang was about to tear at the wound and widen it, Tang Pin took advantage of the brief contact and swung her Long Staff, smashing it hard against his head!

"Bang!"

The Long Staff struck the Evil Ghost Mask heavily, and the previously Weird Object suddenly let out a piercing scream, letting go and staggering backward.

The severely injured Tang Pin retreated to the side of the equally injured Bai Ao and, enduring the excruciating pain, quickly played the Bamboo Flute to treat it.

With the Evil Ghost Mask injured, the remaining members seized the opportunity and swarmed forward.

Luo Jiayu cut her Long Hair again, manipulating each strand to wrap around Qin Rang's limbs. Bai Yang's Puppet also kept rescuing people from Qin Rang's hands, but occasionally they would be caught by Qin Rang and lose the blessing of the Rules, and the Puppet would become ordinary objects and be torn to shreds.

It's not that they have no way to deal with the Evil Ghost Mask, it's just that they can't bring themselves to kill the person behind it.

Standing before him was not only the Evil Ghost Mask, but also Qin Rang.

They didn't know if Qin Rang could be saved, but if they killed the Evil Ghost Mask Weird Object, he would surely die.

"Bai Yang, is there a way to turn him into Puppet?" An Ying asked.

"No, he's immune to Rules," Bai Yang said.

"... Never before have I hated this invalidated Rules as much as I do now," Sheng Qingqiao said through gritted teeth.

He was also struggling, and every time he swung his sword, Qin Rang repelled him, causing his unhealed wounds to reopen.

Bai Yang poked his head out from behind the Doll: "Even if there's a way to nullify his ability to be immune to Rules, without special Rules, the Puppet I become is truly just Puppet and can't transform back into human form."

"If you don't mind, I can try it with you."

"Then forget it."

Mi Chuchu blocked Qin Rang's attack once again. The armor collided with Qin Rang's fist, and after a muffled thud, several cracks appeared on the armor.

She took a step back, steadied herself, and grabbed Qin Rang's arm again, engaging him in a struggle.

Qin Rang's speed was so fast that it was hard to predict. Even with Mi Chuchu's repeated attacks to interfere, he could always find an opportunity to ambush the others.

Tao Yuan stood protectively in front of Tang Pin and the Bai Ao, constantly parrying Qin Rang's sudden attacks.

Each swing of the heavy Chainsaw to parry depleted a significant amount of her energy and stamina. After Qin Rang's attack was blocked once again, he quickly adjusted his position in mid-air, circling behind Tao Yuan, his fists clenched.

Thump!

The sound of bones breaking and the floor rumbling overlapped. Tao Yuan swallowed her scream back down her throat. She tried to raise her hands to fight back, but her limbs were too weak to move.

She belatedly looked down and discovered that the bone in her shoulder was deeply caved in, and the flesh had been smashed into a pulp.

Just as Qin Rang's fist was about to land again, a seemingly light Red Thread flew over and firmly bound Qin Rang's body.

Beside Qin Rang, Sheng Qingqiao held Red Candle and remained still.

The candle was lit, one end of the Red Thread was in Sheng Qingqiao's hand, and the other end firmly bound Qin Rang.

However, when this low-level consumable Weird Object was used on Qin Rang, the energy consumption was extremely terrifying. In just a few seconds, half Red Candle was gone.

As Luo Jiayu's Long Hair moved, countless small blue snakes immediately seized the opportunity to lift Tao Yuan and quickly retreat with her. Mi Chuchu, on the other hand, flashed behind Qin Rang and used her elbow to grab his neck, trying to stop his movements.

Having a moment of free Tao Yuan hurriedly activated the Stasis Pod, but soon, Qin Rang's deep blue eyes were fixed on her again.

A sense of crisis welled up inside her. She glanced at the nearly empty Red Candle in Sheng Qingqiao's hand, decisively abandoned activating the Stasis Pod, and instead tore off the Weird Object from her hair and activated it.

The energy connected to the Hair Tie, and the black Hair Tie instantly formed a chain, which, together with the red rope, firmly bound Qin Rang.

Seeing Qin Rang forcibly immobilized by the two strange forces, Tao Yuan finally felt relieved enough to activate the Stasis Pod.

The energy-linked Stasis Pod Wristband quickly detached from her wrist and flew into the air. Just as it was about to activate and amplify, a pair of gray eyes suddenly appeared in Tao Yuan's mind. In a daze, her energy input paused.

At that very moment, the Hair Tie and Red Thread of the Weird Object shattered together, Qin Rang, wearing Evil Ghost Mask, broke free of control and swept past her.

She saw that familiar fist plunge into her chest—her heart was completely shattered, half of her body exploded, and her eyes instantly lost their color.
