Seeing this situation, Zi took the lead and rushed forward. Her speed did not seem to be fast. She just moved forward gracefully, full of elegance and sexiness. Then, she evaporated into thin air, and when she reappeared, she was already dozens of meters away.
Zi closed in at an incredible speed. She did not seem to be giving her opponent any time to react. Her ceremonial robe fluttered in the wind, and the inner layer of the magic shield wrapped tightly around her body was made of a very solid steel mesh structure. It looked indestructible!
Wherever Zi passed, the angry wails of the vengeful spirits could be heard, but they could only attack in vain around the titanium mesh magic shield. In just a short time, she had already rushed into the room and clashed with the contestant who had kidnapped Vincent.
It could be said that although Zi was a mage-type contestant, she had always preferred close combat, so even after transforming, she still focused on close combat.
She now had the high-strength frontal defence of the Ndipaya dark green set, and the terrifying enhancement of the titanium mesh magic shield. Her defence was really comparable to that of a high-grade MT. Exchanging blows with the enemy was her best and most preferred method of fighting.
Of course, it was also the method that would give any mage-type contestant a headache.
The moment the two of them clashed, the entire 13th floor, no! All the windows, glasses, computer screens, mirrors and other glass products in the building cracked at the same time, and then exploded with a crash! They shot out in all directions! Who knew how many people were injured by the explosion?
Zi, on the other hand, was forcibly knocked back. Her long skirt fluttered in the wind, leaving a long trail of black smoke behind her. An indescribable black mass could be seen on the upper left corner of her titanium mesh magic shield. It was viscous, surging and emitting a foul smell. It was like a melted plastic. Even the titanium mesh inside the titanium mesh magic shield had traces of contamination.
Obviously, the opponent was not having a good time either. A series of rumbling noises could be heard coming from the room, like the loud noise of a train passing through a tunnel. No one knew how the noise came about.
When Brother Black and Reef rushed in, they discovered that the room was extremely spacious. Faint illusions of trees seemed to have vanished in the air. Only Vincent was tied to a chair. His pupils had shrunk to the size of a needle tip. A dull smile hung on his face as his mouth repeatedly muttered a single sentence. "That's right. That's right. That's right."
"Death in full bloom …."
On the wall next to Vincent was an indescribable dark door. Logically speaking, the partition wall of this floor should not be more than one meter long, and it should be connected to the next floor. However, the dark door was obviously as deep as a cave. It curved and slanted downwards.
Reef and Mogensha wanted to give chase, but a large number of pink cherry blossom petals rushed out from the dark door. Upon closer inspection, the cherry blossom petals had the veins and texture of human blood vessels, as if they had sucked human blood. There were even small sections of short pink hair fluttering in the wind.
The two of them were obstructed by the petals for a moment, but the dark door suddenly closed. They could only rush to the window and look downstairs. They saw that Sheyan had already run up to the eighth floor, smashed through the window, and jumped down, smashing the car below into a pile of scrap metal. In front of him, a dark door was quietly opening.
Reef and Mogensha were overjoyed. They knew that although Sheyan was injured, he should be able to hold the opponent back for dozens of seconds no matter how hard he tried. But when they chased after him, they found Sheyan standing next to them with a gloomy face. He did not look like he had been through a big battle. The two of them asked in surprise.
"That guy actually ran away?"
Sheyan shook his head and said.
"No, I let him go on purpose. Have you forgotten why the mastermind behind the scenes slaughtered all the contestants on their side? Maybe the mission really requires the soul of a contestant. If that's the case, I'd rather let him go. "
If it were any other party, even though Sheyan was the leader of the party, his words would probably cause internal strife within the party. The reason was very simple. Killing the contestants might bring benefits, but if Sheyan let them go, it would be tantamount to using the interests of the party members for his own benefit.
But for Party Ace, this was not a big problem, because they all knew that Sheyan was not a selfish person. If they sacrificed a little now, when Sheyan grew up in the future, these small losses would be nothing more than fleeting clouds.
Zi suddenly said.
"This contestant was able to escape from the mastermind. Could it be that he's a newcomer to this world and has nothing to do with our previous main mission?"
Sheyan pondered for a moment.
"If that's the case, then this is good news for us. The mastermind has left, but there are still contestants in this world who can complete the main mission. This is definitely not normal."
At this point, Sheyan fell into deep thought. Sanzi suddenly said.
"Could this be a countermeasure?"
Sheyan's eyes shone with admiration.
"That's right. If the mastermind has used some special means and exploited some loopholes to track our party into this world, then sending some new contestants to this world to complete the main mission may be a countermeasure of our Noah Realm C!"
At this moment, Zi poured a bucket of cold water on everyone.
"I have to remind you that even if it's a countermeasure, all Noah Realms must operate within the limits of the rules. They can't go beyond these rules. That is to say, there's a limit to how much they can help. They can't send a group of weaklings to make up the numbers."
Sheyan's eyes narrowed.
"You're right," said Sheyan.
Zi said with a solemn face.
"When I rushed in just now, I had a head-on clash with that contestant. He's very strong. In such a hasty fight, he still managed to use the miasma of the Realm of Death to counterattack. If I didn't have the Titanium Mesh Magic Shield, I would have suffered a great loss. In addition, he seemed to be completing a powerful summoning ritual. I saw the illusion of a huge cherry blossom tree looming. It seemed that at least half of the tree had been summoned. Although the cherry blossom tree was very blurry, I could already make out the character 'Xi' on it. If he completed the summoning ritual, it's hard to say whether we can still win. "
At this moment, Reef had returned to Vincent's room. After a thorough search, he discovered Vincent's identity document placed on the coffee table. Beside the document, there seemed to be some calculated numbers. Although Reef could understand the words through the translation of the nightmare imprint, he still couldn't understand the meaning of the words when they were put together due to the vastness and profoundness of Chinese. Hence, he called for Sheyan to take a look.
So, he asked Sheyan, "Boss, I know the character 'Tian', and I also know the character 'Gan'. So, when the two characters are put together, does it mean that there's a drought?"
Sheyan was stunned. He was trying to find words that his foreign friend could understand. He did not expect Reef to be so curious.
"The next one is even more interesting …."
Sheyan immediately snatched that thing away and carefully examined it for a while before he said, "That's right, I don't think so.
"It seems that this person is not here for the Terminator-related mission, but only for Vincent."
Reef asked curiously.
"What do you mean?"
Sheyan said calmly.
"There's definitely a reason why Vincent chose to live on the thirteenth floor. This piece of paper uses a special method from the East to analyze his birthdate. Among the eight characters of his horoscope, it's actually a rare Yin Body! That's why Vincent likes to live on the 13th floor, where the Yin energy is heavier. If he was born in the East, then the most suitable profession for him would be a charlatan, not a computer engineer. "
Sanzi thought for a while and said.
"So, could the motive of the person who captured him be to make Vincent his familiar?"
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"That's very possible, but it's not very likely now."
The method to wake Vincent up was not difficult. According to Sheyan's method, he just needed to drink a rooster's blood and liquor. However, liquor was easy to find, but where could they find a rooster? In the end, they could only get a live turkey as a substitute. It was worth mentioning that there was no market for live turkeys here. They were all slaughtered and placed in the supermarket. So, the turkey they got was actually a pet carefully raised by a family ….
After gulping down several mouthfuls of foul smelling liquor, Vincent finally recovered from his soulless state. He rubbed his eyes, and saw Sheyan's face brimming with enthusiasm.
"It's nice to see you again, Mr. Vincent, but this time, I'm not going to treat you to a steak or a Havana cigar. I just want to settle your debts from back then and the interest that has accumulated since then."
Vincent's face turned green. Just as he was about to yell and curse as usual, he realized that two men had already walked over with stern faces and pressed their palms on his shoulders. The intense pain immediately made him unable to utter a single word.
In the end, Vincent could only smile bitterly.
"Do you really believe that I can give you generous compensation in my current state?"
Sheyan and the others did not answer, nor did they take the bait. They just stared coldly at Vincent. In the end, this guy finally revealed his true intentions. He shamelessly said,
He said shamelessly, "Unless you can help me re-enter Cyberdyne Systems, then your debts won't be a problem at all."
When he uttered those words, the trio finally received the notification they yearned for even in their dreams.
