The Mercenary's Journey of Suffering (Part 1)

The identities of the three foreigners were confirmed through flight camera footage comparison as mercenaries from the Liberty Federation.

Security checks showed that the three were not carrying any dangerous items, which indicated they had some understanding of China.

Although it appeared they had never broken the law within China and seemed to be no problem, Liang Xing's presence made the Baisha City police more cautious about such individuals.

Fortunately, they were extra careful, because the investigation revealed issues!

As the saying goes, "A clear conscience fears no accusation."

The three were deliberately evasive, which clearly indicated they had malicious intentions!

Su Mei also participated in this operation. After hesitating, she sent a pigeon message to notify Liang Xing.

This piqued his interest!

Liang Xing hated trouble the most.

What he feared most was competitors who couldn't afford to lose and resorted to offline PKs.

He was already brimming with ideas, just lacking time. Offline PKs, regardless of winning or losing, would only delay things, wouldn't they?

Although Su Mei's information was just a suspicion, Liang Xing would assume they were coming for him.

[Thanks, I'll be careful.]

It seemed his last move was too conservative; they didn't seem to learn their lesson.

He'd have to teach them a painful lesson this time!

Liang Xing didn't remember how excited he was last time, a typical hypocrite.

--When he's free, they can do whatever they want. He even secretly thanked them for helping him determine the content of his new toys. But now that he had things to do, no one could interfere.

Perfect, Liang Xing also wanted to test if the security measures he prepared were effective.

At the same time, the three mercenaries were heading to the Colorful International Hotel as planned.

They were all seasoned veterans and could tell at a glance that there were ambushes nearby.

"They're watching us closely; we can't get in."

"Then let him find a way to bring the stuff out!"

"I'll contact him."

The three retreated discreetly. Soon, a short, middle-aged man left the hotel dragging a suitcase.

The plainclothes officers in charge of surveillance quickly dispatched personnel to follow him, but the mercenaries saw everything.

The enemy was in the shadows while they were in the light, putting the Baisha City police at a disadvantage.

An hour later, the three mercenaries received oily paper bags from a few young men.

"Thanks, pleasant cooperation." (Chinese)

The method wasn't new; it was a simple switcheroo.

The short, middle-aged man was simply changing hotels. The items were still left at the Colorful International Hotel.

The mercenaries then paid some petty thugs to dress presentably in slightly looser clothes and wander around inside. Each of them hid an oily paper bag in their abdomen and easily walked out.

With calculation against carelessness, and the mercenaries not having broken the law yet, the police were constrained by the rules and couldn't do anything about it.

"China is nothing special." The third mercenary—code-named Jackal—took the oily paper bag and casually tucked it into his waistband, a mocking expression on his face.

"Let's finish this quickly. China isn't as simple as you think." Black Demon opened the oily paper bag, expertly checked and loaded the gun, and then hid it.

Three oily paper bags, three handguns.

Guns were prohibited in China, and they had put in a lot of effort to get this equipment.

Although they were just dealing with a small boss, the three had prepared thoroughly.

"Let's go."

The three chose secluded routes, making sure there were no surveillance cameras. Then, they broke into a car.

There were flight cameras at intersections with heavy traffic, and they didn't want to provoke the police.

Moreover, they wouldn't dare drive the stolen car for too long. They would change cars as soon as they found a suitable target.

Black Demon had learned Chinese from a teacher and knew China relatively well.

So, they only stole cars, not killing people.

As long as no one died, it wouldn't cause too much of a stir.

"Location."

They were cautious along the way, avoiding any intersections where flight cameras might be present.

Fortunately, Liang Xing spent most of his time at the toy factory, which was quite remote and had low national surveillance coverage.

But the flight camera coverage was extremely high!

And the police had monitoring access to the flight cameras. As soon as they showed up, the police received the message.

"Damn it! Charge!"

The mercenaries didn't really want to make a big fuss, but they had already experienced the efficiency of the police when exposed to the flying cameras.

Time was of the essence!

Jackal was just about to accelerate when a ball of fire flew from the side, looking like it was about to hit the car.

Jackal was indeed a battle-hardened mercenary, and his driving skills were superb.

With a smooth fishtail maneuver, he dodged the flame, and the gravel splashed by the ground hit the car body.

"Prepare to abandon the car!"

Jackal was indeed lecherous and not very serious, but at the moment of life and death, he didn't dare to joke at all, decelerating and jumping out of the car in one go.

"The intelligence is wrong! Be careful!"

Black Demon was the first to jump out of the car. He took out his pistol while rolling and subconsciously searched for the target, but he was stunned when he actually saw it.

It turned out to be a small yellow dinosaur, its mouth open, and a fireball gradually forming.

"Fireball? Dodge!"

Small Flame!

Bang!

The fireball didn't hit the three of them, but it generated a lot of dust when it hit the ground, separating them.

Black Demon faced the yellow little dinosaur, his face pale.

He could be considered well-informed, but this was really the first time he had seen such a scene in his life.

What the hell kind of small boss was this? He raises dinosaurs at home! That can breathe fire! Doesn't China care about this?!

Black Demon's mentality was a bit broken, but seeing the yellow little dinosaur rushing over, he gritted his teeth and could only shoot.

Bang!

The bullet passed through the yellow little dinosaur's body, Black Demon was stunned for a moment, and his dodging action was half a beat slower, and then he felt as if his chest had been hit head-on by a truck.

His body staggered back several steps, and an inexplicable sense of fatigue surged into his heart.

There's something strange about this thing!

Under normal circumstances, the yellow little dinosaur—that is, Agumon—wouldn't be unscathed if it was hit by a bullet head-on.

At least in Liang Xing's setting, Goblinmon had returned to the Digital World because of A Lie's chair.

But what's the situation now?

Liang Xing never had the idea of a fair duel.

—You guys are coming to me for an offline PK with pistols, so don't blame me for secretly adding a little extra function to the Digimon.

He didn't change the Digimon's data either, he just swiped an original card with the Digivice—Reality Shift!

Although strictly speaking, the Digimon of the Holographic Projection should belong to the 'virtual' part.

But the setting is that it has a physical entity, and it is only after being affected by the card that it truly belongs to the phantom.

Liang Xing just brought the ability enhancement card of the Digital World into reality in advance, and even didn't need to specifically modify the underlying logic to easily solve the trouble.

The gravel, dust, and even the sound effects of hitting the car body were actually simulated by the flying camera.

But no one dared to risk their lives in the face of such realistic special effects.

Even if they knew it was fake, the immersive performance could guarantee the effect of psychological suggestion.

For example, now, Black Demon seriously doubted the reality of the Agumon in front of him.

But what can he do?

He can only avoid its sharp edge for now!
