Silver Bullet (Bonus Chapter)

"Um?"

Something's not right...

Xiao Xiao had already reached out and grabbed Little Four's hand as it emerged from the sewer, preparing to pull him up. But at that moment, he suddenly realized that the world around him was becoming distorted. What was once a vibrant and lifelike world had been stripped of its reality, turning into a model, a backdrop with a realistic environment, but where all the actors had stopped moving.

Is it because the will of this city has intervened?

Xiao Xiao had only seen this scene once before, when he first encountered the City Will.

All the indigenous people stopped at the same time and turned into puppets and dolls.

But this time...

Wrong!

Suddenly, a warning bell rang in Xiao Xiao's heart. He instantly released Little Four's hand, which he had just pulled up, and abruptly stood up. Unaware of what was happening, Little Four screamed and fell back into the sewer, wailing, "I already called you 'Daddy,' and you're still holding a grudge..."

"Bang!"

Xiao Xiao was unable to explain. Just as he let go, a gunshot rang out in the distance.

A bullet flew through the stationary crowd and headed straight for him.

The bullet came from fifty meters away, beyond Xiao Xiao's sensory range. He couldn't track the bullet's trajectory or trace, only feeling a strong warning. But at that moment, he immediately entered a state of Mind Burst, his three Eye of the Seer instantly flying high, intently capturing every subtle movement around him. Finally, when the bullet was about thirty meters away, he spotted it.

It was a silver bullet with a miraculous pattern.

It has a long, slender body and terrifying kinetic energy.

He strained his body to lean to the side, trying to dodge the bullet.

Although it was a struggle, his body, which was under extreme tension, unleashed terrifying power, and he was already showing signs of dodging the bullet. But no one expected that just as Xiao Xiao was about to dodge it, the pattern on the bullet suddenly underwent a strange change. It was as if the pattern was flowing, generating a strange activity and desire, and its trajectory was suddenly forcibly distorted during its flight.

The bullet actually veered off course and headed straight for his forehead.

Xiao Xiao felt numb all over, staring in disbelief at the bullet heading straight for his forehead.

The distance was too close; there was no way I could dodge a second time.

"Woof..."

But just as Xiao Xiao was so close to death for the first time in his life, a deep bark suddenly rang out.

A dark shadow suddenly lunged at me.

It was the Earl, the loyal Big Dog who always kept him by his side no matter the circumstances. He suddenly jumped high and blocked the bullet, and then a terrifying hole was blasted in the middle of his body.

Before the count could even scream, he was thrown aside like a tattered sack.

Xiao Xiao was struck dumb, looking at the Earl in disbelief, only to see his eyes filled with pain and tenderness.

"Aww..."

The sudden change made the surrounding air seem to freeze for a moment.

The next moment, Ghost and Erha both flew into a rage and charged toward where the bullets had come from.

Little Four, who was in the sewer, suddenly realized something was wrong. He suddenly shot into the sky and flew out of the sewer. Because of his speed, he even brought the dark shadows in the sewer from the bottom of the well to the manhole cover like silk.

"Crackling..."

As the ghost and the Erha charged forward, the aboriginal people who had stopped moving on the street suddenly turned around mechanically.

Their arms, like wooden ones, suddenly shot out and clamped down on the ghost and the Erha's bodies.

The fingernails were so sharp that they dug directly into their flesh.

The two Pain Hound, turned around frantically and bit their arms.

The machine-like figures simultaneously displayed expressions of pain, instinctively releasing their bodies. The Pain Hound charged forward again, only to be grabbed once more by the other stiff crowd. Although their bites could force these people to retract their grip, with so many people densely packed in the street, it was impossible for them to break through smoothly.

But at the same time, another Silver Bullet flew over again, its sound like a ferocious roar as it pierced the air.

"Bloodthirsty Bullet?"

Little Four was so frightened by the sound of the bullet whistling through the air that his face turned deathly pale.

As he fell, he suddenly brandished the eerie, thin blade in his hand.

A flash of white light, and all eyes seemed to be drawn to the blade for a moment, losing their connection.

Including those bullets that seem to lock onto the enemy and then change direction midway through their trajectory.

Little Four Si waved his hand instantly, and the surrounding darkness enveloped Xiao Xiao, about to carry him into the sewer.

"It's the Silver Bullet Family. They'll make live bullets that crave blood."

"No blood will be spilled, no chance will be missed..."

"..."

Hearing Little Four's screams, Xiao Xiao's heart seemed to sink to the bottom.

The Silver Bullet Family has arrived too?

Were they also sent by Yang Jia to deal with me?

Is this special training, or does she really want to kill me?

In addition...

Count.

He looked at the big yellow dog lying on the ground, its chest almost completely destroyed, and his heart clenched violently.

Will it die if it takes a bullet for itself?

Are special items also susceptible to being killed?

I've always wanted to conduct this kind of experiment, but I couldn't bear to. But this problem suddenly appeared in front of me.

Although he still had questions in his heart, the life force of the big yellow dog Earl, which he could sense rapidly dissipating, had Mingming told him the answer. Xiao Xiao heartbroken beyond measure, and felt a bitter sense of despair welling up inside him.

"Hehehehe..."

Just as he was thinking this, a cold laugh suddenly rang out from the depths of the suddenly still crowd.

Before Little Four could use the shadow to envelop Xiao Xiao and pull him into the sewer, the heavy sound of searchlights turning on suddenly rang out. Four blinding beams of light instantly attacked from four directions in the sky, like sharp swords, forcibly tearing through the darkness that enveloped Xiao Xiao and Little Four, and forcibly exposing them to the beams of light. At the same time, vague figures appeared in all four directions.

"What's the point of small-scale fighting among our own people?"

A slender figure slowly approached from the left through the crowd, a silver revolver in his hand standing out conspicuously.

"Why don't we play with you..."

"... The kind that involves risking your life?"

"..."

"The entire Silver Bullet Family has been mobilized?"

Little Four's voice was clearly filled with fear and trembling.

With so many eyes on him and blinding beams of light shining upon him, he could no longer use the Shadow Contract to take Xiao Xiao away. In desperation, he suddenly swung the belt-like sword in his hand again. With a flash of white light, he forcibly cut off the gaze of others and hid.

The next moment, on the still, pale street, only Xiao Xiao remained, facing the crisis that was coming from all around him alone.

"Bang..."

Not long ago, when Xiao Xiao was tracking Little Four, a bullet pierced through the thick darkness of the night.

Standing quietly on a high-rise building not far away, watching Xiao Xiao and Little Four compete, Yang Jia suddenly tilted her head slightly. Before her pupils contracted, two faint, semi-transparent door-frame-shaped ripples appeared in front of her. A bright golden bullet stopped abruptly as it passed through these two doors, hovering quietly for a while, as if its kinetic energy had been exhausted, before suddenly falling to the ground.

Yang Jia's eyes pierced through the door-frame ripples and instantly locked onto an open window in an office building across the street. Inside, a man wearing a black cloak with mysterious patterns was slowly lowering his gun and smiling at Yang Jia.

"Shepherds?"

Yang Jia uttered these three words, and then suddenly flashed through the two door frames.

The next moment, she suddenly appeared on the opposite building, standing in the spot where the man had just been.

But the place was now empty, with only the gun still standing against the wall.

Yang Jia calmly walked to the window and looked down, where she saw the person in the black cloak walking quickly into the distance.

She flashed to the ground again, and when she looked up, the black cloak had disappeared once more.

However, in a glass window diagonally in front of me, reflecting neon lights, there was a faint black shadow that flashed by in an instant.

Yang Jia smiled and followed them again.

A bizarre chase suddenly unfolded in the city. Their figures appeared sometimes among bewildered ordinary people, sometimes on the rooftops of empty skyscrapers, sometimes in front of shops with ambiguous atmospheres, and sometimes in the deep, crisscrossing alleys. No one knew where they came from, and those who occasionally saw a trace of them thought they were just seeing things.

"Don't rush to make a move..."

The man in the black cloak slowed down slightly as they approached the edge of the city.

He turned to Yang Jia with a smile and said, "I'm here to discuss cooperation with you..."

"Your willingness to come along shows you're willing to talk, doesn't it?"

"..."

Yang Jia looked at him quietly, seemingly also curious, and whispered:

"Explain."

"..."

"The mother Black Gate City, theoretically speaking, has nothing to do with you, right..."

The other person chuckled softly, "You've given so much, only to end up with nothing, and even become a laughingstock. What's the point?"

"You're only here to retrieve that signpost for the Dante Organization. So, as long as you're willing to stay out of this, I won't mind if you ruined the accounts at Farm No. 13. I can even give you a guarantee: when the Silver Bullet Family takes control of Black Gate City, I'll make them hand over the contents of the safe for you to take back to the Dante Organization. How about that?"

"..."

Yang Jia chuckled softly and said, "Such good terms? What do you want then?"

"I?"

The man in the black cloak replied with a smile, "I just want to drive you bunch of lunatics out of Black Gate City completely."

"I don't want to see my city overwhelmed by the illusions you've created."

Let's add more chapters to liven things up.

Sadly, I hurt my fingers yesterday while playing on the snow mountain tire slide. My left ring and pinky fingers were swollen like carrots yesterday, and like purple radishes today. It hurts to type even a little. And I still have to write more. I'm so upset...
