Moonlight walked expressionlessly down the street, having already circled the street where the Thirteenth Bureau's White Gull branch was located several times.
If it's called a patrol, then it's a patrol; a promise is a promise.
The cool moonlight of the night slanted down on him, as if absorbed by his body, swirling into faint silvery-white flakes on his skin, beautiful yet ethereal, giving him an otherworldly air.
After walking through a deserted alley, Moonlight suddenly turned around, unleashing his superpower [Power of the Moon], which formed a shimmering white armor on his body. His superpower amplified his physical abilities with the help of the Moonlight.
His eyes turned silvery-white, and his fist, enveloped in a glowing light, slammed into thin air, actually striking a solid object.
"Who are you?!" Moonlight roared.
Bathed in silver Glory, a human-shaped silhouette appeared in the air.
Chasing the last rays of darkness before dawn, Han Xiao returned to the abandoned factory with the foaming-at-the-mouth Tang Shu and handed the antique back to Li Xin.
[You have completed [Return the Antique]!]
[Current number of participants: 1]
[Number of participants: 1]
[You return ten antiques, and you receive 100% of the prize pool reward.]
[You have gained 102,000 experience points]
This task had no player competitors, so it posed no difficulty for him at all.
Han Xiao checked the panel; he had accumulated 700,000 experience points over the past few days!
Having gained the experience, Han Xiao turned and left, waving goodbye without a trace.
Li Xin suddenly realized she hadn't asked Han Xiao's name yet, and felt a pang of loss. She felt like Han Xiao was the prince of her dreams, who suddenly appeared when she was in trouble, offered help, and then quietly left.
Tang Shu squatted in the corner, drawing circles that turned gray and white, muttering, "I never want to see you again."
The sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
Walking down the street, Han Xiao found a shop window to use as a mirror and saw the face of the Simulation Mask. He was surprised and said, "Damn, so handsome."
"... but it's not quite as good as my true face."
Han Xiao pursed his lips and casually saved the image.
Just then, through the reflection in the mirror, Han Xiao saw a pair of indifferent eyes appear in the air behind him.
In Mo Ran's office at the White Gull City branch of the Thirteenth Bureau.
"The three assassins died last night: Moonlight, Volcano, and Hunter," Di Susu reported to Mo Ran.
"The wounds are all similar: slashed at high speed by a sharp weapon, piercing the heart and cutting the throat. There were signs of resistance before death, but clues gathered from the surrounding environment indicate that the battle lasted no more than ten seconds. These three killers are not weak; Moonlight is a superhuman with the ability to absorb Glory to amplify her physical strength. The killer was able to approach these three killers silently, demonstrating terrifying strength."
Is there a video recording?
"There were no surveillance cameras at the scene of the accident, perhaps the perpetrator deliberately chose that location."
Mo Ran asked in a deep voice, "Are there any suspicious targets?"
Di Susu's tone was grave. "Possessing stealth abilities and extraordinary speed, easily killing elite assassins and superhumans, there's a matching figure in the major threat target file... Hidden Demon!"
Wang Yuan, who was listening in, frowned. "It was him!"
Hidden Demon, a terrifying assassin and super-powered criminal, was once a death row inmate in Raylen. He was selected as a test subject for a research project, resulting in a mutation in his body. Except for his eyes, his skin and hair all over his body gained a powerful ability to conceal themselves from the environment, making him essentially an invisible person.
Moreover, Hidden Demon awakened his own true superpowers: super reflexes and agility. Using his invisibility and superpowers, he escaped Raylen and became active in the underworld, becoming an extremely mysterious assassin.
Wang Yuan remained expressionless, his eyes cold. The price for hiring Hidden Demon was astronomical; just how much money had those traitors embezzled from the organization?!
Although the Hidden Demon was skilled in assassination, Bennett did not find it troublesome. His five senses had been specially honed and were extremely sharp. Even if he couldn't see, his hearing, smell, and touch were all extensions of his perception, preventing the Hidden Demon from getting within ten meters of Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan pondered, "The Hidden Demon might want to eliminate my guards first. My men are likely doomed. Mo Ran, please have your men who are tracking them notify them to assemble now."
"Golden Fox is resting at the hotel, but that Mr. Black has shaken off his pursuers," Di Susu helplessly.
Wang Yuan paused, then sighed helplessly, "Please send someone to look for him... Sigh, just do your best."
Hidden Demon are the nemesis of Sniping. Even Bennett felt that Han Xiao was in grave danger and felt sorry for him. Although he liked Han Xiao, he was responsible for protecting Wang Yuan and could not go to his rescue. He could only pray that Han Xiao would have good luck.
The instant he saw a pair of eyes suddenly appear, Han Xiao immediately manipulated the Magnetically Controlled Armor to instantly cover the back of his neck and back. The next moment, a series of sparks flew out of the armor, as if it had been cut by a sharp weapon in the blink of an eye.
He had long known the dangers of the fifth mission and was prepared for battle at any time, so he reacted immediately.
The force of the impact from behind sent Han Xiao stumbling forward and crashing into the shop, shattering glass everywhere.
"The enemy has become invisible!" Han Xiao realized this the moment the attack began.
As he stumbled into the shop, a sense of danger followed him everywhere. The sound of someone moving quickly reached Han Xiao's ears, Han Xiao instantly slid back, drew his two pistols, and fired, aiming at the source of the sound, but all his shots hit empty air. The containers were smashed, and bullet holes appeared in the walls.
The invisible enemy struck again, scraping against the armor with a tooth-grinding sound.
"Such speed!" Han Xiao could only rely on his reaction to control the Magnetically Controlled Armor in advance to defend himself. Fortunately, the armor covered three-quarters of his body, so as long as he protected his vitals, the enemy's threat was greatly reduced.
The damage values displayed on the panel indicated that the enemy was using a high-agility, high-attack combat style. Han Xiao glanced at the combat information and learned the assassin's name.
"Hidden Demon!" Han Xiao was startled, feeling a sense of unease.
Like the Black Spider before it, the Hidden Demon is also on the "1.0 Planet Aquamarine's Most Difficult Boss List". With invisibility and super agility combined, it is a natural close-combat assassin.
"The Hidden Demon is level 44, with the highest agility attribute. His stealth ability should only be effective against himself. Therefore, the only weapon he could use to attack me is his fingernails, and he's completely naked. What an unhygienic guy..."
My speed is far inferior to his. His agility leans towards short-distance sprints and dodging maneuvers; long-distance dashes are probably not his forte. I can activate my skateboard shoes to escape... but if I just run away like that, there will be another assassination attempt. I'll try to see if I can take him down first. To deal with him, I must first slow him down!
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Han Xiao's mind, his eyes turned cold, and he entered a state of focused combat concentration.
As claw attacks came one after another, Han Xiao used his Magnetically Controlled Armor to withstand them, sparks flying everywhere. He pulled out a handful of small mechanical bees the size of candies from his inner lining and threw them around. The mechanical bees flew up and flashed with electricity.
Electric Shock Bee, also known as Bee Swarm, carry high-volt currents in their stingers. Touching a human body can cause temporary paralysis. Multiple Electric Shock Bee can even form an electric grid, which can be used as a control skill. This is a blueprint that Han Xiao accidentally obtained while developing skateboard shoes.
A swarm of Electric Shock Bee flew around the small area of the shop, and the effect was immediate.
The Hidden Demon can dodge using its speed, but its movement is restricted, and its attack frequency slows down.
"Bang bang bang--"
Han Xiao fired his dual pistols without stopping, but all his shots were dodged. Hidden Demon was even faster than Pan Kuang was back then. If Pan Kuang could dodge bullets, Hidden Demon could certainly do it even better.
"You're good at dodging, huh? Then let's see who has more health!"
Han Xiao's eyes were cold. He switched to a Heim Bullet magazine and opened fire wildly. Green poison gas instantly filled the small space, engulfing him as well.
