Hyperdimensional Simulation! Playing Fisherman Again!

The air trembled as gunfire exploded.

At close range, a psionic bullet arrived the instant it left the barrel, striking Bai Xiaotian in the head.

Bang—!

A deafening blast rang out. The child's head did not burst apart; instead, the bullet was blocked by a transparent substance and ricocheted away instantly!

The destructive bullet pierced through a nearby rock wall, sending shards of stone flying and knocking down a torch planted in the ground.

The flames flickered, and the light inside the cave dimmed with them.

The child turned around, still wearing a cheerful grin.

"Lord Liu, you're too ruthless. You're even shooting at a child!"

"Children can't stop bullets!"

Liu Zheng retreated several steps and raised a psionic shield around himself.

"I'd like to see how many you can block!"

As soon as he spoke, gunfire roared.

The psionic pistol fired continuously, bullet after bullet streaking toward its target.

With several bangs, every bullet was deflected. The transparent substance around Bai Xiaotian did not even tremble.

"You don't have a psionic belt. How did you raise a shield?"

Liu Zheng's expression changed.

"A belt? I don't need one."

Bai Xiaotian smiled faintly, raised his hand, and made a pistol gesture.

"Bang!"

He uttered the word, and the air around his fingertips rippled. A psionic bullet appeared from thin air and shot through the air, striking Liu Zheng's psionic shield!

"You!?"

Liu Zheng was startled. "Your talent isn't Accelerated Learning!"

"Aren't you people good at analyzing psychology and expressions?"

Smiling, Bai Xiaotian said, "Only half-truths can fool watchdog inspectors like you!"

As soon as he spoke,

he opened his mouth again!

"Bang!"

Another psionic bullet appeared from thin air and shot over at exactly the same speed.

Liu Zheng hurriedly fired back while continuously retreating.

But after firing just over a dozen shots, the pistol ran out of bullets.

His psionic shield was also on the verge of collapse!

"Inspector Liu, stop struggling."

"On the way here, I saw exactly how many bandits you killed and what you still had left on you."

Bai Xiaotian advanced step by step, his finger aimed at Liu Zheng.

At this,

Inspector Liu's face filled with anger, as if Bai Xiaotian had struck a sore spot.

With a grab of his hand, he pulled out a sharp military saber!

"Die!"

He roared and lunged forward, slashing down with his blade.

Bai Xiaotian wore a faintly mocking smile. His small body neither dodged nor retreated, instead charging straight at him!

He lowered his body like a tiger pouncing from its lair and chopped down with a hand strike!

Roar—!

A howling sound erupted from nowhere. That small palm actually shattered the military saber and continued down onto the psionic shield.

The psionic barrier shook violently as spiderweb cracks appeared across it and spread outward.

Liu Zheng hurriedly reached for his waist, but before he could switch psionic batteries, Bai Xiaotian struck down with another hand chop!

Roar—!

The second Tiger Roar sounded. The hand strike shattered the psionic shield and cleaved directly into Liu Zheng's arm.

"Aah—!"

He screamed as his arm was severed.

Bai Xiaotian lunged into his chest again. His small body slammed forward like a fierce tiger, sending the tall Liu Zheng flying. With a bang, he crashed into the stone wall.

The "nine-year-old child" chuckled, walked over, and stepped on his head, his hand shaped like a gun.

He spoke slowly.

"Bang!"

"The seemingly innocent child had exposed his talent and attributes from the very beginning."

From afar, Wu Yu clearly witnessed the scene, and his heart sank.

From the moment he entered the Mysterious Tower, Bai Xiaotian had been disguising himself and deceiving others, even taking advantage of Liu Zheng's arrogance!

"A blue talent, Accelerated Learning?"

"Simulating psionic pistols and psionic belts, simulating the Tiger Roar Eight-Slash Saber!"

"This was clearly copying and imitation—simulation and manifestation beyond dimensions!"

"He looked like a child. Was he a dwarf?"

Wu Yu's expression turned solemn as he began setting traps around himself.

Then, his gaze passed through the darkness as he carefully watched that direction.

But Bai Xiaotian did not come over. After searching Liu Zheng's corpse, he headed toward the silver chest and began opening it!

The torch had been knocked down, leaving the cave in total darkness.

Bai Xiaotian bent his arm, and flames actually emerged around it, illuminating the area around the chest.

Just like... the torch from earlier!

"This talent... is a little absurd, isn't it?"

Wu Yu could not help clicking his tongue.

Considering that everyone who entered the Mysterious Tower had been ordinary people, the only thing that could have granted him such mysterious power was his talent!

He could imitate anything, copy anything...

"No!"

Suddenly, Wu Yu's heart stirred.

The Bi Fang Sigil was one of the abilities of a red talent, yet it still required qi and blood to inscribe.

Whatever the quality of Bai Xiaotian's talent, it surely came with a considerable cost.

Otherwise, why would he have plotted against Liu Zheng and made him waste bullets and psionic energy?

Besides, Wu Yu had felt that something was off about Liu Zheng just now.

Why had he ambushed Bai Xiaotian?

The surprise on his face afterward clearly showed that Liu Zheng had not known about Bai Xiaotian's abilities beforehand!

If he had killed someone merely for a silver chest, it did not make much sense!

And during the battle, he had seemed strangely clumsy...

At that moment, Bai Xiaotian took out a pill and swallowed it. It seemed to be a Blood-Replenishing Pill!

Wu Yu saw it clearly, and an idea stirred in his heart.

A bronze chest took five minutes to open, a silver chest took fifteen minutes, and a gold chest took thirty minutes!

If he let the other party rest for half an hour, Bai Xiaotian would certainly regain enough combat ability.

"An opportunity like this won't come twice!"

He did not rashly approach. Instead, he climbed to higher ground, took out a small stone inscribed with the Bi Fang Sigil, and hurled it with all his might!

After three qi-and-blood enhancements, Wu Yu's arm strength had far surpassed what it had been before.

The small stone tore through the air, flying an immense distance while wrapped in blood-red energy.

"Hmm!?"

Bai Xiaotian was startled and decisively leaped away, abandoning the chest.

Boom—!!!

The cave itself seemed to tremble. A golden divine bird flashed past, and flames engulfed the area around the chest.

Bai Xiaotian raised a psionic shield and escaped, his face twisted as he stared in Wu Yu's direction.

In the darkness, a blurry figure was continuously swinging an arm.

"Who is it!?"

Bai Xiaotian shouted angrily and hurriedly dodged to the side.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three explosions rang out in succession as flames swept through the cave, thunderous blasts echoing one after another.

The psionic shield around Bai Xiaotian shook continuously. His small body slammed into the stone wall, leaving him in a miserable state.

"Damn it!"

He cursed, gritted his teeth, and held up his psionic shield against the flames as he rushed deeper into the darkness!

Before long, Bai Xiaotian vanished from sight.

A moment later,

Wu Yu emerged from the darkness and arrived before the silver chest.

After arranging several small stones around it, he carefully inspected Liu Zheng's corpse.

The body of this Level 3 inspector had already been badly damaged. Most of the psionic equipment left on him was broken, and Bai Xiaotian had likely taken anything intact.
