Joining Forces

The Black Mist on the bridge began to spread outwards, and something unknown seemed to be hidden within it. Surrounding the bridge, some riot police, despite their legs trembling violently under the influence of the Fear Field, still held up their riot shields and guns, watching the spreading black fog warily as they retreated.

It can be said that these police officers have a strong will. Under the shadow of the Dark River's Fear Field, their will is tested every once in a while. If their will fails the test, it will awaken the fear deep within them.

Furthermore, this test of willpower becomes increasingly difficult to pass over time. Finally, after the black mist condensed into a human face, one of the people's minds could no longer withstand the pressure, and he failed the test of willpower. All the fearful memories from the past surfaced from the depths of his heart, from the fear of falling and bleeding as soon as he could remember, thinking he was going to die, to the fear of almost dying in the confrontation with the criminal. All these memories surfaced from his heart, and the aura of fear enveloped him.

"Ah!" Overwhelmed by fear, the police officer pulled the trigger. Flames shot from the muzzle, and bullets flew wildly, stray bullets injuring more people and instilling even more fear. They were human too, and it was already commendable that they had the courage to stand here in the face of such unknown Mythical Creature.

The black mist spread out, enveloping them. The various chaotic sounds gradually disappeared, as if swallowed by the black mist. The crowd watching from afar became even more terrified. Even if all those people were killed directly, being swallowed up by the black mist silently was even more frightening.

"What did I tell you? You just need to take your men and evacuate the crowd. There's no need to face that black fog head-on." Old Hu was taking out some usable tools from the car. They were also stuck on the road. At this moment, he dialed the Newly Appointed Police Chief's number, his words no longer as kind as before. "Tell them to retreat. Those people staying here are of no use; they're just wasting their lives."

"Are these people out of their minds? We clearly told them to just assist the crowd in evacuating, but they still insisted on rushing in," Bing Bing complained, looking at the dark fog and quickly wrapping herself in another coat.

"Captain, Xiao Zhang, Zheng Long, and Meng Xi are coming towards us. How did they know our location?" Xiaomi, equipped with some devices, glanced at the surroundings and said to Lao Hu, "Should we avoid them or go and meet them?"

"They must have some special abilities," Old Hu nodded to indicate he understood. Glancing at the ordinary people constantly evacuating, Xin Lexiang said, "Let's meet them. They haven't committed any evil deeds. They've come to see us, so they've probably given up on the so-called Becoming a God. Their only goal is to join forces with us and take revenge on Fu Bin."

"And we do need to rely on them to deal with this King of Fear and Fu Bin," Old Hu said, glancing at the somewhat unconvinced Bing Bing, and then said directly, "Your ability should never be used unless it's absolutely necessary. It will not only affect you, but it may also disrupt some plans."

"Don't use those props recklessly, understand?" Old Hu turned around and instructed Xiao Mi. Xiao Mi touched the four rings she had just put on her left hand and nodded in response.

Then Old Hu turned around and saw three masked people running towards him. He smiled slightly and said, "Are you Xiao Zhang? Are you Zheng Long? Then you must be Meng Xi too? Let me introduce myself, my name is Old Hu, and I am..."

"I don't really care what your name is or what your department is called," Xiao Zhang interrupted Old Hu directly, his heart sinking slightly. They had grasped some information about them and showed it immediately upon meeting, which meant they understood what they were here for and were trying to suppress their momentum in order to gain control of the cooperation.

That's why Xiao Zhang interrupted Old Hu directly. If he continued to let him talk, they would fall into his rhythm and completely hand over the initiative. Xiao Zhang said directly, "I don't know how much information you have about the Mask Battle Royale, but you've seen the situation now. That so-called King of Fear is rampaging. We are just capable citizens of the Yue Kingdom, here to help, nothing more."

"So, will you be helping us capture the wanted criminal Fu Bin later?" Old Hu shook his head and smiled, then said seriously, "The situation is urgent now, so let's not talk about those things."

At this moment, Xiao Mi walked over and whispered something in Old Hu's ear. Old Hu nodded and continued to say to Xiao Zhang and the others, "Our Great Yue Dynasty has special laws governing superhumans. You can learn about them later. The current matter is dealing with the King of Fear, and according to our latest news, Fu Bin and his group have already headed towards the King of Fear. So, regarding our relationship... well, let's consider it a cooperation. We'll agree on three rules."

"Let's deal with that so-called King of Fear first, and put everything else aside for later!" Old Hu said seriously, looking into the eyes of the three people opposite him. "After that, we'll deal with you so-called Becoming a God with the God Mask and the Seven Deadly Sins."

"If there are no problems, let's go." Old Hu coughed, clutching his stomach, and led the way towards the bridge shrouded in black mist in the distance. Bing Bing glanced at the group behind her, looking at the three of them with distrust, and quickly followed. Xiao Mi also nodded to the three of them and then continued to follow.

"Damn Fu Bin, how much information did he reveal that put us in this passive position, and now he's pretending to be a good guy?" Xiao Zhang said angrily. Although he understood that their superpowers were not unique, he still felt a sense of superiority over ordinary people after gaining superpowers, which was why he became extremely angry when facing Old Hu.

However, they still had to go. They understood what Old Hu meant. The most important thing now was the King of Fear. If they didn't follow up and let Fu Bin and those people join forces to deal with the King of Fear, Fu Bin's reputation would reach a rather high level.

Previously, some people on the internet declared their support for Fu Bin, believing that he was indeed cleaning up the garbage of this society. If he were to defeat the King of Fear and clear his name, it would become even more difficult for them to remove Fu Bin.

Having realized this, Xiao Zhang and the other two had no choice but to suppress their Wrath and head towards Wu River Bridge; a major battle was inevitable.
