Volume Six: What She Lost · What I Gained Chapter 530: A Chance Encounter

"Shh... keep your voice down..." I reminded Sin Annihilation.

"This is what I wanted to tell you."

"Well..."

Sin Annihilation ignored me and continued walking forward with a crouched posture. Every move he made was practiced and familiar, as if he had carried out countless infiltration missions before. It seems that even if his strength was limited, his skills were still there.

"..."

I secretly observed her profile. If you ignored the hideous scars, it was a truly exquisite and beautiful face. But it lacked any warmth, lifelessness, like a cold, lifeless corpse. I suddenly realized that of all my teammates, I knew the least about Sin Annihilation. She rarely said a word, and the only person she clung to was Xiao Wu. I had almost never spoken to her alone.

Perhaps this is a great opportunity to strengthen team cohesion?

"Sin Annihilation." "?"

"You ignorant girls who've been turned gay, you still need to improve your skills and stop believing everything you hear..."

"... If I weren't afraid of upsetting Xiao Wu, I would have killed you first."

"..."

It seems there's still a long way to go in terms of mutual understanding.

"Shh, someone's there."

Sin Annihilation suddenly stopped and listened intently, and I immediately opened my senses as well.

If she were in her normal state, Sin Annihilation would easily spread her cells like spores throughout the entire venue or even the entire city, but now her sensory abilities are also limited, which is one of the reasons I stepped in.

"Hmm... there are five people within a hundred-meter radius, two men and three women judging from their Blood Energy, and they are approaching this way."

This isn't fun.

The passage we're in has no forks, and there are very few rooms on either side. If we want to hide...

Sin Annihilation and I exchanged a glance and looked up at the sky.

That's the entrance to the ventilation duct.

"Why the hell do they make a racetrack so complicated? Are they looking for trouble?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sedria, but that's how it was originally designed, and we..."

"Shut up, I get annoyed by your nagging!"

"But I must further explain..."

The young man guiding the way forced a smile at Casey Sedria, suppressing his emotions. Valentina couldn't help but purse her lips. The Fais sisters didn't even glance at Casey; their female instincts compelled them to keep their distance from her at all times.

(Ugh... This is so annoying! Why do I have to partner with such a tasteless man?)

Valentina walked around dejectedly, looking at the surrounding buildings, but her mind was elsewhere.

(Ultimately, the compatibility of superpowers is inherently problematic, isn't it? But if it really comes down to us, his superpower combined with mine is the safest bet...)

If war breaks out, Casey's ability can almost always eliminate one member of the opposing team, even high-ranking ones. If caught off guard, they would suffer a long and painful death. However, this ability also has significant side effects. Once Casey starts using it, Valentina must cooperate fully.

As for the Fais sisters...

"This place is so utterly unromantic, dear sister."

"You two are a perfect match, dear sister."

"Does that mean dying here in loneliness suits me perfectly?"

"To understand so quickly, you truly are my sister."

"My sister thinks the same way. Why not just bang your head against the wall and commit suicide? The splattered brains would be quite a sight!"

The older sister has long hair, and the younger sister has short hair. Apart from that, their faces, figures, personalities, and even their mannerisms are completely identical. Even among twins, this level of similarity is too high. Strangely, these two are always bickering in a very civilized way, sincerely praying for each other's misfortune. It's really... incomprehensible.

Valentina felt that hanging out with a bunch of weirdos every day was absolutely terrible.

I really want to do something to relieve the stress.

Okay, it's decided.

After we're done, let's crush this fairly handsome tour guide's balls.

"..." "..."

I fought off the urge to cough as I crawled through the narrow ventilation duct. Dust and cobwebs had matted my hair together, making it very uncomfortable. My elbows and knees, which were in contact with the bottom of the duct, were cold and painful, and the inability to stretch them was incredibly frustrating. I couldn't even scratch my face, which was itchy from the cobwebs.

What's even more troublesome is...

Puff Girl~

(My chest... it feels so cramped...)

Without even looking, I knew that my breasts, which I was usually so proud of, had been squeezed into a rather lewd shape and were rubbing against the bottom of the tube, making me extremely uncomfortable. What's more, the already narrow space had become even more cramped. If the tube were even a little bit narrower, my breasts would definitely get stuck.

I'm a little envious of the Sin Annihilation -chan, who's crawling in front of me.

(... ah!)

The connection between Blood Energy and qi is already very close.

"Stop! Someone's here!"

The piece of flesh clinging to my ear—a small part of the body separated from Sin Annihilation —speaked softly, seemingly through vibrations.

I held my breath, shifted my body slightly backward, and peered down through an inconspicuous little vent.

Just as I had sensed, there were two men and three women.

Leading the way was a young man in a suit and tie, followed closely by a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses who was cursing and swearing. Keeping some distance from the middle-aged man was a beautiful, elegant black-haired girl with a very tasteful style. Bringing up the rear were two girls who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. Except for the length of their hair, they were almost identical and must have been twins.

"Then, following this maintenance passage leads to another exit, with no forks in the road..."

"Ugh, I can see that myself! Stop talking nonsense!"

"..."

"What's wrong? So what's the exit from here? Are you mute?"

"... You told me not to speak."

"Huh? Are you looking for trouble?"

The middle-aged man with glasses spoke very rudely, which was completely different from his bookish appearance. The young man who was showing him the way was almost in tears from the way the man was verbally abusing him.

"Which of them will kill my sister? I can't wait to see them!"

"I should be the one to thank them properly, especially since they're willing to help me kill this annoying sister."

"I won't die before my sister, because I want to see how you die."

"Oh dear, my little sister is so annoying!"

The twin sisters chatted as they walked, and judging from their tone and expressions, they seemed like elegant ladies having a leisurely afternoon tea, but the content of their conversation was something one would rather not think about.

"You guys... sigh."

The black-haired girl sandwiched between the four looked helpless. Her expression, combined with her delicate yet alluring features, was quite charming. Compared to the three strange people, this girl was simply an oasis for the soul.

However--

"Hey, tour guide?"

"Hmm? What are your orders?"

"After you've shown us around, could I borrow your egg to step on it?"

"--Ehhhhh?"

"You mean my balls, or testicles, they all mean the same thing. Let me step on them, at worst they'll just break."

"Wait, wait, wait, are you serious!?"

Okay, I take back what I just said.

This group of people are all mentally ill.

"Hey, they've gone far ahead, let's move on."

(Good...)

Now that I've memorized their faces, there's no point in looking at them any longer. I'm not stupid enough to impulsively fight guys with unknown abilities when my strength is limited.

After climbing a short distance, the ventilation duct split into two sides. Sin Annihilation turned her head and glanced at me. After exchanging a look, she climbed to the left and I climbed to the right, and we split up for the time being.

"Finally, it's over..."

I muttered to myself as I used the stick-shaped blood crystal to pry open the louver-like baffle at the end of the pipe, trying not to make any noise.

I thrust my upper body forward, and my aching breasts were finally released—it felt so good.

"Ugh... this is really bad..."

I rubbed my aching back and finally stood up on the floor. Looking around, I wondered, where am I?

"Right below the audience seats... huh!?"

I suddenly felt a jolt all over my body, my heart pounded, I broke out in a cold sweat, and then my consciousness sank...

"--ah!"

Suddenly snapping out of it, he rubbed his head and checked his body, finding that he didn't seem to be missing any parts.

Strange, was I momentarily lost in thought?

Is there an enemy attack?

I immediately held my breath and hid in the shadows of the building, waiting for a while, but I didn't notice anything unusual.

What's going on? Is it just that I didn't sleep well?

Not understand...

I shook my head, went out through the side door, and beyond the rows of seats was the spacious competition arena. The smooth track was pleasing to the eye. However, because it had been temporarily requisitioned as a concert venue, a huge stage had been added in the center, decorated very lavishly. Perhaps everyone had gone home, because there were no other staff members present, and the night sky was desolate and deserted.

This must be the stage we'll be on tomorrow. I'm a little nervous.

I closed my eyes and checked my body; everything seemed normal. So what was that sudden lapse in concentration? My long experience in combat tells me that I should never underestimate such a sudden loss of consciousness. I should be careful.

But where are the Extra Weapon? There don't seem to be any here—hmm?

Got it!

There was a light next to the stage, probably for maintenance purposes, which allowed me to see what was happening there—right on the side of the stage, a—no, two people were sitting side by side!

One of them was the girl I saw in the ventilation duct before, with long black hair that was slightly curled at the ends and a pretty oval face. She was the one who said she wanted to step on the tour guide's testicles!

And another one--

"... What a small world!"

It was that "Fiser"!

This time, she didn't put her long, purplish-blue hair up, and she wasn't wearing work clothes but rather casual clothes that allowed her to move around easily. But I still recognized her immediately. After all, she was the first Extra Weapon to attack us, and I couldn't forget that face!

I swallowed hard, catching my breath, and stealthily closed the distance between us under the cover of darkness and shadow. I observed them as I approached. For some reason, both of them looked rather disheveled, especially the girl with the broken egg; she seemed exhausted, and her clothes were a little rumpled. Had something happened to her?

No, that's not important, the problem is...

I maximized my perception of Blood Energy, covering the entire area—and sure enough! Apart from the two people in front of me, all the other Blood Energy I sensed was inside the building! If nothing unexpected happens, the others shouldn't be able to see what's happening outside!

There was no one else watching.

Before me stood an enemy who hadn't noticed me and was clearly distracted.

"..."

Now, I should--
