Mission accomplished!? (Seeking collections, follow-ups, and monthly votes)

From the beginning, He Ao felt that Mu Xiu was a very typical person who was rough on the outside but meticulous on the inside. This could be seen from how he contaminated passersby to lure Selina and He Ao away. Moreover, his hatred for the Dancer was exceptionally deep, causing him to relentlessly pursue her for decades.

Furthermore, there were enough homeless people near this abandoned industrial building, making it easy for Mu Xiu to gather enough sacrifices for the God of Chaos.

These factors combined led He Ao to a different conclusion than Selina. He believed that Mu Xiu would definitely return.

However, he did not share his opinion with Selina, but waited for Mu Xiu here alone.

He was waiting for a first, and also a last, meeting.

"I have a question I'd like to ask you,"

He Ao watched Mu Xiu gradually stand up, staring at him vigilantly, his tone calm, "Five years ago, when you were pursuing the Dancer and passed through Kaya City, did you encounter a prospecting team from the Molden United Mining Company?"

Mu Xiu did not answer He Ao, but he was clearly startled, his pupils looking upwards, indicating he was thinking.

"It seems you did encounter them," He Ao tilted his head. One wouldn't need to think for so long about something they hadn't experienced. "To please the God of Chaos, you slaughtered that team?"

"Who are you?"

Mu Xiu did not deny it, but looked at He Ao warily, his voice hoarse and irritable, like a wild beast growling.

"It seems my guesses were all correct," He Ao tidied the pockets on his clothes. "Would you like to hear a story? A story about a child who wasn't very easy to deal with."

Mu Xiu frowned. He did not answer, but continued to look around with high vigilance, somewhat worried that this was a trap set by He Ao.

"This was just an ordinary child. He didn't have any particularly dazzling talents. The only thing worth praising was that he was quite good at fighting," He Ao didn't pay attention to Mu Xiu's actions, nor did he care if Mu Xiu was willing to listen to his story. Instead, he began to narrate his story with a calm expression,

"His parents paid for him to attend an expensive private school, hoping he could make enough elite friends there, or get into university and become a respected doctor or lawyer.

But clearly, he wasn't cut out for studying. Except for one time in second grade when he scored a hundred, the rest of his days at school were spent fighting, causing trouble, and hanging out with kids who had poor grades. Because of this, his parents were even forced to transfer him schools once."

Mu Xiu seemed to be drawn into He Ao's story. He quieted down and watched He Ao.

And He Ao continued to narrate, "At 13, he learned to play cards and became addicted to it. This habit extended into high school, and his grades got worse and worse. At 17, nearing high school graduation, he had become one of the worst 10% of students in the entire school. He had multiple conflicts with his parents, until he ran away from home.

He started working odd jobs outside to support himself, refused his parents' help, and no longer went home.

At 18, his parents died. During a prospecting trip in the wilderness, they died at the hands of cultists."

He Ao raised his head and looked at Mu Xiu, "He completely changed his previous ways, studied diligently, cut off all social contact, and only slept three or four hours a day. Finally, with excellent grades, he was admitted to the best public university in Kaya City, Kaya City Municipal University, and in his third year, he interned at the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a student from a prestigious school.

He finally saw the photos of his parents' death. Their bodies were shattered into several pieces by a powerful force,"

He Ao looked at the corpse behind Mu Xiu with its head smashed, "Yes, just like him."

He looked back at Mu Xiu again, meeting his gaze calmly, "For you, they were just two sacrifices you could kill at will, but for that child, they were his parents, his everything."

At this moment, He Ao and Ander overlapped.

"I know why you came to Dawn City. You want to pursue the Dancer, you want revenge," He Ao's gaze was cold and calm, "And I am standing here now for the same purpose."

Task completed

"So you're here to stop me?"

Mu Xiu looked at He Ao calmly, and beneath that calm gaze was twisted ferocity and madness.

Calculating mission evaluation...

"No," He Ao shook his head, looking him directly in the eyes, "I'm here to kill you."

[Returning to the original world in 90 seconds]

Super Memory, activate!

[Return immediately (90)]

A giant fist directly smashed the wall behind He Ao. The giant, over four meters tall, broke through the ceiling, shattering the floor partition.

He Ao dodged the fatal blow. A powerful force was spreading from his soul to his physical body, rapidly increasing Ander's original (13) physical quality to (70).

This wasn't the original power of Super Memory. It seemed to be the power from the 'Waiter' after Super Memory devoured it.

The improvement in physical quality wasn't just an increase in strength, but also in agility and dexterity.

The feeling of the entire world being crystal clear reappeared in He Ao's mind. He immediately drew the Gauss Gun from his waist and fired a shot at the forehead of the massive giant, Mu Xiu.

Mu Xiu's muscles rippled, and he forcefully twisted his head to dodge the shot, then lunged at He Ao again.

He Ao rolled to dodge the giant fist, his mind quickly rebuilding Mu Xiu's body model.

Although this guy was huge and clumsy, his speed wasn't slow, especially his explosive speed. If He Ao's body hadn't been enhanced, he would have been smashed into a pulp by Mu Xiu in the first instant.

In terms of attack power, Mu Xiu was far stronger than the Dancer.

He Ao rolled several more times to evade Mu Xiu's attacks. He raised his hand and fired a shot. This shot successfully predicted Mu Xiu's movement and directly hit his left shoulder. The sharp magnetic bullet pierced Mu Xiu's skin.

Mu Xiu cried out in pain, roaring. The muscles in his left shoulder rippled, actually pushing the bullet out. The pierced wound was also sealed by the muscles, not even a drop of blood flowed out.

But this sting made Mu Xiu even more violent, his speed increasing by another magnitude. He Ao darted across the ground, nearly being hit by Mu Xiu several times.

Is Rank D defense this high?

He Ao frantically dodged Mu Xiu's attacks, his mind constantly rebuilding Mu Xiu's body model, searching for the weak point that Mu Xiu had been protecting.

No matter what, people would definitely prioritize protecting their weak points, unless they had no weak points.

The Gauss pistol only had ten bullets. Four were used in the fight with the Dancer, and two more were just used, leaving only four.

Countless possibilities for Mu Xiu's next move flashed in He Ao's mind. He had already circled Mu Xiu halfway, his speed had slowed slightly, while Mu Xiu was getting faster and faster. Seeing Mu Xiu swing his fist again.

Bang—Bang—

He Ao raised his gun and fired two shots at Mu Xiu's eyes.
