I woke up, one arrow killed it, what do you say?

Guiji and Yasha, this twin BOSS duo, actually appeared in the original Streets of Rage, but back then they were still very simple, with slim and well-proportioned figures, completely unlike the revamped character designs in the third installment, where they became curvy, skin-tight punk women.

Along with their drastically changed figures came a dramatic increase in their combat abilities.

With the game's iterations and updated assets, they gained more agile jumping abilities than in the original, incredibly powerful kicking techniques, highly synchronized combat coordination, very standard ground wave projectile capabilities, and a combined technique that could only be used when the twins were together.

Whether in reality or in games, there's always a strange connection between twins, which leads to some skills from the game blueprint only being more effective when used by true twins, preferably identical twins.

Clearly, the two people who changed their Chosen IDs to Guiji and Yasha were of this type.

These two managed to snag, as if by chance at a flea market, the combined technique ability dropped by the Guiji and Yasha twin BOSSes, allowing them to achieve a one plus one is greater than two synergy. However, this ability, which should have been enough to turn the tables, was exposed by Cheng Tian in one fell swoop.

Cheng Tian was able to expose their secret simply by stacking keywords and searching: purple skin-tight suit, twins, female, ground wave. Then his brain automatically located and searched Streets of Rage. This kind of judgment, which he saw as easy as eating and drinking, was something that no one else in the Chosen Evolution Space could do.

They simply couldn't possess Cheng Tian's vast game knowledge, which seemed as if he were born for the Chosen Evolution Space, almost capable of generating a "memory palace."

The twin players' already fragile psychological defenses completely collapsed at this point. The word "escape" filled the twins' brains.

If veteran players had seen through them, they could have explained it as the opponent being experienced, but to be seen through at a glance by a pure newbie who, in theory, had only experienced their second Chosen instance, the implications were starting to send chills down their spines.

Cheng Tian wasn't just a child flaunting gold in the marketplace; this was clearly a trap prepared in advance to hunt them down!

Which guild was making such a big move?!

Crimson Dawn? Blue Flame Brotherhood? Or Card Players Supreme? It couldn't be Swords, Magic, and Trap Mountains, could it?

Several player guilds that they had directly or indirectly offended flashed through their minds. Then, under the gaze of Cheng Tian, who was slightly swinging his arms, and Erin, who was drawing her bow to aim again, they began to take steps backward almost simultaneously.

The twins had completely lost their will to fight.

Even though they still possessed inherent skills and equipment skills that could cause Cheng Tian a lot of trouble, they only had one thought left: escape.

Cheng Tian's positioning cut off the possibility of the twin sisters reuniting. They didn't have the idea of having to be with their sisters no matter what, but instead made a decisive decision to run away separately and find a chance to reunite later.

"Hm? Trying to run?"

The twins' act of turning around and running surprised Cheng Tian, who had been quietly adjusting his equipment. Immediately, his right hand lashed out at the air with a crack like a Vampire Slayer being swung, and the Captain America's Shield, which had been embedded in the trash can, actively ricocheted back into Cheng Tian's hand.

On the other hand, Guiji had already darted out a dozen meters, moving erratically, running, jumping, and pushing off walls, her speed increasing.

This was the first time Cheng Tian had seen a high-agility specialist in action, and he immediately realized that in the current state, with Blitz Charge on cooldown, it would be impossible to catch up to the opponent with his own thick legs, which only had a +12 agility bonus.

Moreover, Polymorph's missile not only had a 1-second casting guide, but also a flight trajectory, making it unlikely to hit the opponent. Therefore, all Cheng Tian could do was throw the Captain America's Shield in his hand again, which had a clearly faster throwing speed.

However, Cheng Tian didn't have much hope for it.

Sure enough, the younger sister, Yasha, had a damage-dealing safety skill like Bushin-ryu Hurricane Kick, and the older sister, Guiji, also had a damage-dealing safety skill based on "Mustapha Cairo," known by players as "Yellow Hat" in Dino Crisis: Yellow Cyclone.

Just as the shield was about to graze the back of Guiji's head, the twin sister, without any deceleration, performed a soaring Yellow Cyclone, no, it should be a Purple Cyclone, kicking away the shield that Cheng Tian had thrown.

They didn't have many other skills, but they certainly had a lot of safety skills and escape methods, due to their complete PTSD from the main quest.

Cheng Tian didn't waste any more time chasing. For high-agility enemies like this, it was indeed difficult to kill them without a reasonable enclosed environment. And for Cheng Tian, who had only completed the newbie trial, he really didn't have any more means to limit their escape movement.

Is this the difference between me and veteran players? The Chosen Evolution Space is indeed interesting~

Cheng Tian, who didn't know that he had directly scared the other party witless, was clearly smiling. He wasn't discouraged at all. On the contrary, he immediately put the plan and idea of "how to restrict agility units" on his daily agenda.

Players aren't afraid of encountering enemies they can't handle. As long as they have a chance to go back and review, the enemy will inevitably be targeted to death.

However, just as a certain Cheng was decisively giving up the ineffective pursuit, the regretful pretty-girl archer directly abandoned her concealment and jumped down from a place as high as eight stories. Just as her shapely and sturdy thighs were about to turn into broken sugar cane, a gust of wind suddenly burst out, blowing her into the air for several seconds before she landed lightly.

The emerald green longbow held in Erin's hand, combined with the quiver of equally emerald green arrows on her back, instantly filled Cheng Tian's nose with a refreshing scent as if he were in nature.

Erin, with the arrow nocked on the bowstring, first pouted at Cheng Tian, gesturing for him to get out of the way and not delay her aiming. Then, the muscles in her arms and legs instantly tensed up, revealing very obvious muscle bulges under her originally unrevealing clothes. She then drew the bow to its full extent, and the arrow, carrying nature and death, was aimed at Guiji's retreating back.

The next second, a critical strike wrapped in a storm burst out—

Fusion Skill! Storm Power Strike!

Having sensed some kind of danger and choosing to use the "Power Word Shield: Enchanted Scroll" from her inventory in advance, Guiji, whose body was enveloped in a golden shield that could absorb damage, only had time to feel a powerful force from behind before her vision was completely plunged into eternal darkness.

Guiji's corpse, which had completely opened its heart, was nailed to the closed door of the abandoned factory. The storm carrying the corpse evenly splattered the scattered blood on the door, forming a strange blood-red vortex pattern, making the dead Guiji look like some kind of sacrifice instead. The whole scene looked extremely bloody and full of tension, and even had a bit of a philosophical flavor.

Then, a treasure chest with a scarlet hue emerged from Guiji's corpse and fell down, all alone.
