Two days ago, Dark-star had killed people and coincidentally saw through Peggy's lie, so they changed their strategy. They did not have to look for a needle in a haystack in the universe. Since the Secret Message Bead had fallen on Floating Dragon, they only needed to lock onto the organizations that had participated in the battle at the docks and find out who had picked up the bead.
The mercenaries were the initiators of the battle at the docks and were the focus of attention. Ring, Blades, and Purple Gold were all arrested. Only Han Xiao's Black Star had the power to move around outside. Ashes was not stupid enough to break out of prison, so there was no need to think about it. Han Xiao was the best target.
That was why this ambush was set up.
Capture Black Star, control this mercenary group leader, make him listen to orders, use his identity to get in and out of the prison, and find out if the Secret Message Bead had been picked up by other mercenaries.
Originally, the first rule of the 'Dark-star Task Force Operations Manual' was "During field missions, in order to reduce the risk of exposure, try not to use force if you can bribe the target with money" because most of the time, the money spent could be taken back. However, in Dark-star's knowledge, the mysterious organization that was plotting the Secret Message Bead was hidden on Floating Dragon and knew the truth before them. It was very likely that they had contacted the mercenaries before them. After the incident of Peggy's deception, Ashes did not want to be fooled again, so he decided to use force directly.
As a member of a large violent terrorist organization, he always had a sense of superiority when facing mercenaries. They were like the God of Death hidden in the dark, cool, cool, and stylish. Mercenaries, on the other hand, were like country bumpkins who would do anything for money. They had no beliefs and were not even as good as bounty hunters who specialized in hunting down wanted criminals. It was simply frustrating.
For those of us who are out there, we pay attention to style! When he reported his background, the feeling of "I'm from Dark-star" and "I'm a mercenary" were completely different.
Dark-star's name was feared by countless races. In comparison, although the mercenary industry was extremely large, it was like a plate of loose sand. The difference between good and bad was like the difference between a stone and a sand castle. If it was a large army such as Ring or Blades, Dark-star would take them seriously. However, the leader of a mercenary group with a size of fifty people whose strongest was only Grade B?
Heh, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?
"Who are you?" Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked deliberately.
"Let me give you a piece of advice. If you want to live a little longer, put away your curiosity and don't ask about our identities. Don't get yourself into trouble."
Ashes said indifferently. He thought that Han Xiao would be very surprised by the identity of this group of ambushers.
However, he did not know that the witness on the night of the slave kidnapping was Han Xiao. He thought that this was the first time he had met Black Star, so he tried to be mysterious and put pressure on Black Star. He did not know that Han Xiao had already figured out his background.
Han Xiao looked around. The walls built by Ashes formed a cage like a colosseum. A total of eight Dark-star warriors surrounded him in the middle. Other than Ember, the other seven were not weaklings either. The soldiers of the Special Task Force were all Grade B Supers, and they were all eyeing Han Xiao.
Seven opponents of the same grade plus Ashes, who was a grade B, were not just 1 + 1. With the combination of various abilities, Han Xiao was not sure how long he could last. Furthermore, he had Aroshia with him, so the situation was very dangerous.
Han Xiao opened the mechanical suit's communication channel, but he could only hear the buzzing sound of electricity. His face darkened.
"Don't waste your time. There are powerful signal jammers nearby. You can't call for reinforcements."
Ashes' tone was cold. What he meant was that no one would come to save him even if he screamed himself hoarse.
"Looks like you think you have me." Han Xiao remained calm and said, "Anyway, I have nowhere to run. What do you want me to do? Maybe we can discuss it. I don't want to fight a meaningless battle."
"We want you to ask the mercenaries about the whereabouts of a black bead," Ashes said.
Hearing this, Han Xiao's expression did not change. He quickly analyzed in his mind.
Looks like Dark-star probably got the truth out of Peggy's mouth. They probably also know that someone is impersonating them and competing for the Secret Message Bead, but they don't know that it's me. The attack this time was not because I was exposed, but because I happened to be one of the targets. This is very important. They don't know that the bead is with me. If they pretend to cooperate and pretend to be polite, they might be able to get away with it.
He was more concerned about how Dark-star had unearthed. At this point, it seemed that he was just coincidentally used as a model mercenary. The fact that he was impersonating Dark-star was not exposed.
It was not that he could not consider compromising with Dark-star. After all, there was an insidious method called infiltrating the enemy. If handing over the Secret Message Bead could be exchanged for the qualification to join Dark-star, it was also an option. However, the risk was unknown and difficult to measure.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and acted as if he did not know what the bead was. He said, "This is just a small matter. I can help. There's no need to use force."
Ashes took out a transparent box containing many sand-sized nano-robot insects. He injected them into the body to control the brain and heart. He could take his life at any time. He said, "After you inject this, we'll talk about cooperation."
"… Looks like I have no other choice."
Han Xiao shook his head. The mech instantly attached itself to his body.
After injecting nano-robots, his life and death were controlled by others. He could not be at the mercy of others. In that case, there was only one way.
Beat them up!
Click, click, click.
Electromagnetic guns popped out of the mech's grooves one by one. Electric energy burst forth, surrounded by thread-like lightning. Han Xiao not only held the guns with both hands, but the remaining guns were also controlled by energy and fired in all directions.
Tu, tu, tu, tu —
In an instant, bullets flew. The intertwined tracer trajectories of blue lightning spread out with Han Xiao as the center, like a blooming dark blue rose!
The battle suddenly erupted!
Han Xiao used [Sliding Shots], [Control Vision] to increase his firing speed, and [Magnetic Vision — Data Flow] to increase his Machinery Affinity. He even used [Surging Mechanical Force] and [Overload] to increase his explosive power. The soldiers of the Dark-star Special Task Force were shocked by this firepower. They all dodged and blocked in different ways.
"What a waste of time."
Ashes controlled the dust to turn into a shield and blocked the bullets with a calm face. To him, as long as the enemy's Grade was lower than his, no matter how they fought, it was all for show. As long as they were not immune to his Esper Ability, any enemy could be killed instantly.
Hum!
With his Esper Ability activated, his sense of touch extended, and his vision changed. Ashes could clearly 'see' the atomic structure of Han Xiao's body. The carbon elements were marked and glowed, spreading all over his body like a river. He was very familiar with controlling these carbon elements. He had done this countless times before.
However, Han Xiao's body seemed to have turned into a mountain in a trance. His Esper Ability, which had always been successful, actually failed. He could not control the carbon atoms in his body at all. His structure was extremely tight and unshakable.
The calmness on Ashes' face was instantly broken and replaced by shock.
"It's you!"
Ashes stared at Han Xiao in shock.
