Bang!

Bang!

Dozens of meters away, behind that alloy door, came another loud crashing sound.

The boy squinted.

He knew that this time, it was Jiu Zhengxuan!

He was only one door away from the conference room!

At present.

Taking Chen Mudou and Jingye Meinan with her, she thought she could escape... but it wouldn't be that simple.

Bang!

The final impact was deafening.

Qin Yiguan saw that the isolation door in the distance had completely collapsed, and amidst the flying fragments, he could vaguely see the young man in the white suit.

It was at this time.

The device Jiao Shensan left on the table, called ' Liquid Black Hole,' suddenly flashed a white indicator light.

Beep beep beep...

Click.

The device, shaped like a piece of chewing gum, seemed to be pre-timed, and suddenly popped out a piece of 'chewing gum'!

But this piece of chewing gum doesn't give you any appetite at all; it's pure black, even to an extreme degree.

The next moment.

The extreme blackness began to spread, like melting asphalt, instantly covering the entire room.

It was only a fraction of a second.

It was as if the ultimate darkness had descended.

The interior of the huge conference room, including all the furnishings, suddenly turned pitch black, and this darkness spread out into the corridor through the opened door.

Even the Personal Brain on Chen Mudou's shoulder, which had been shining brightly, was covered by darkness and completely disappeared into the background.

The three people inside the room were plunged into a world of pure darkness.

All the light was swallowed up.

Jingye Meinan looked around blankly, but a strange feeling crept into his mind.

Was my eye open or not? Did I turn my head? Am I fucking dead?

No matter where he looked, his perspective remained unchanged, without any focal point, as if he had left the real world.

But in the boy's heart...

The words Jiao Shensan spoke before his death echoed in the air, "I know you love the darkness; this is my gift to you."

indeed.

Qin Yiguan liked the darkness; it made him feel safe.

so.

Who exactly is that old man?

But without time to think too much, Qin Yiguan, relying on his memory, grabbed two items on the table, put the thin information fragment in his pocket, and held the ' Liquid Black Hole ' in his hand.

The boy whispered, "You two, run as fast as you can down that corridor! Don't worry about anything else!"

Jiu Zhengxuan was furious.

Their own Youth Order Squad had just been formed and received its first mission, but they ran into trouble before they even met the person they were supposed to protect!

The moment he smashed through the alloy door, he saw three figures in the conference room in the distance.

But the figure was a dark gray metallic color, and its face was blurry.

They were wearing disguises!

"That guy at the very front, his figure looks kind of familiar?"

Before Jiu Zhengxuan could observe carefully, extreme darkness surged in like a tide, instantly engulfing everything and causing everything in sight to disappear. A sense of loss of control rose from within him.

"Is it some kind of device that creates extreme darkness?"

"Dark..."

I hate darkness the most!

"But... I've also adapted to this darkness over the past 18 years!"

At this moment, Jiu Zhengxuan slowly closed his eyes, as if sensing something.

"Here!"

He suddenly threw a punch horizontally, and with a loud bang, he struck an object in mid-air.

And this 'certain object' was none other than Qin Yiguan, who was preparing to use the darkness to pass through!

In that instant, Qin Yiguan's body was struck, his shoulder slamming directly into the wall!

Fortunately, this attack was just a probing strike by Jiu Zhengxuan, and its power was not great.

then.

A sense of dread lingered in the boy's heart.

In this environment, how could he still locate me?!

All right.

The boy's Pupil suddenly contracted, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Brain Hyperactivity Zone B05 [Shadow Syndrome] -- Judo Fiend.

The boy was intimately familiar with darkness, or perhaps, extreme darkness was the boy's domain!

With that punch, the boy immediately pinpointed Jiu Zhengxuan's location.

He suddenly stood up, stretched out his left foot to block Jiu Zhengxuan's heel, then took a step forward, grabbed Jiu Zhengxuan's collar with his backhand, and swung his arm around him!

Boom!

Jiu Zhengxuan had not expected that his opponent could launch such a precise and fierce counterattack, and he was thrown into a backflip, falling 3 meters away!

Qin Yiguan chuckled softly.

He struggled to suppress his inner Judo Fiend, because at this moment all he wanted was to use Jiu Zhengxuan as a punching bag and endlessly thrash him!

His remaining rationality told him that he must leave this place as soon as possible.

But before he could even run 3 meters...

Qin Yiguan felt a strong wind whistling above his head.

Incredibly, Jiu Zhengxuan once again pinpointed Qin Yiguan's location in the absolute darkness, leaped to his feet, bounced off the wall, and blocked his path.

Qin Yiguan had his eyes closed, but he had a clear understanding of his surroundings.

That guy Jiu Zhengxuan...

Extraordinary!

Without pausing, the boy bent slightly and, using the momentum of his forward charge, grabbed Jiu Zhengxuan's collar with one hand and his belt with the other, preparing to execute a headbutt throw.

However, Jiu Zhengxuan, who had been grabbed by Qin Yiguan, was extremely experienced in combat. He jumped back 30 centimeters, directly disarming Qin Yiguan and even pulling Qin Yiguan forward a bit!

No delay whatsoever.

Jiu Zhengxuan instantly raised his leg and delivered a knee strike to Qin Yiguan's back!

Qin Yiguan felt a chill run down his spine.

So troublesome!

Brain Hyperactivity Zone B05 [Shadow Syndrome] -- UMC!

UMC is the abbreviation for Ou Country Marine Corps. There was once a case where a killer who was proficient in UMC Fighting Technique specialized in killing for money. In retrospect, that person could be considered a colleague of the boy.

Unfortunately, that 'colleague' was exposed by Qin Yiguan a year ago, and was subsequently killed on the spot by Uncle Wang's Mechanical Proxy.

However, during the investigation, in order to simulate the murderer, Qin Yiguan skillfully mastered UMC Fighting Technique!

In that instant.

A precise image appeared in the boy's mind— UMC Dagger Assassination Technique, STEP 1!

Although he didn't have the UMC combat dagger in his hand, he bent two fingers and used the second joint of his fingers to simulate a dagger, quickly striking towards Jiu Zhengxuan's third rib on the left side of his chest.

Bang!

Both were hit at the same time; one was struck in the back of the chest, and the other in the lower ribs!

The two then retreated and separated, each catching their breath in the utter darkness.

They all shared the same thought—the opponent is very strong!

At this very moment.

The two team members who joined Jiu Zhengxuan, Mechanical Lieutenant Wei Hu and Command Academy member Huo Shuang, were skilled but helpless.

In the world of these 'ordinary people,' being plunged into such extreme darkness is essentially equivalent to losing all mobility, having no sense of direction, and even losing their sense of space.

Even their hearing was affected due to the severe loss of vision.

This is a common phenomenon. Many people with high myopia experience a blurry world after taking off their glasses, and they also feel a bit deaf. This is a kind of "illusionary gap" in the brain's information flow.

Wei Hu had previously tried to activate the lighting system on his personal mechanical device.

But all the devices that were called up were instantly swallowed by the ' Liquid Black Hole ', emitting no light at all. He even doubted whether his devices had been activated!

At this moment, Wei Hu was slightly sweating.

"Captain Zheng Xuan and that opponent... they're not even human."

"Under these circumstances, they can still fight so fiercely!"
