The boss stared blankly at his son's corpse, then roared in grief and rage, "You monster! You bunch of monsters!"
Hokoshaw, whose arms and back had been transformed into insects, desperately tried to cover his face, but his inhuman arms were incapable of even such a small task; they were only truly effective at killing.
Tapping.
Langdon, accompanied by his soldiers, swiftly stormed into the store, forming a defensive formation that protected the kneeling Hokershaw in the center.
Michelle and two employees quickly stepped back. "Angela, I need reinforcements from the rest of the literature department."
Immediately, other employees appeared outside the store and attacked the insectoid team from both sides.
[Angela: Hmm, don't city dwellers have a unified standard for distinguishing between humans and monsters? Or do people outside only recognize natural humans without any signs of modification?]
[Preventing: Even written rules can't eliminate prejudice. Besides, the leader didn't mandate discrimination against those with broken wings, yet they still do it.]
The literary level.
Even without personally participating, Du Jue felt a surge of nausea rising in his stomach. He felt frustrated for Huo Kexiao; what had he done to deserve this by simply being an apprentice?
"Damn it! I can't stand these lunatics anymore!"
I rubbed my throbbing head, putting aside my thoughts of promotion opportunities at the library. Now I realized I had to finish getting my final documents sorted out and head back to Smile Company.
Angela looked at Du Jue, who exuded a manic-depressive aura, with a puzzled expression. "There shouldn't be any substances in the library that could stimulate you. I wouldn't be so careless."
“It’s none of your business, Angela. I just think these insectoids might be able to make the most of their remaining value in a more suitable place.”
Pulling out his Thorn Spear, Du Jue declared without hesitation, "Once we're done here and back in reality, I'm going to kill that Langdon! He's such a damn jinx!"
Angela was even more puzzled. "What extra benefit would there be in killing Langdon? Do you think killing him is easier than stealing from the Mirror World?"
"Nonsense, that idiot wants to use me as a bargaining chip!"
Du Jue looked at Huo Kexiao kneeling and weeping on the screen and felt that the smog war from ten years ago seemed to have really continued to this day, and that this kind of thing was garbage that should have been swept away long ago.

Chapter 291 Huo Kexiao.
Insect limbs and blood were flying everywhere in the barbershop.
"Damn it! Why are all our EGO gear gone? Now we have to rely on this junk."
Yu Wen parried the insectoid's spikes, but the trash weapon she was complaining about broke through the insectoid's carapace defense.
Song Ya, who was hurriedly dodging, was a bit embarrassed. After all, he had never needed any training to use EGO equipment before. "Maybe it was that Seed of Light that was up to something? The Abnormalities have all become strange, let alone EGO."
Under Michelle's command, the employees quickly annihilated the insectoid soldiers by attacking from both sides, leaving Langdon with only four subordinates.
Tear it apart!
Michelle, whose right arm had been pierced by Langdon's swing, gritted her teeth and staggered back: "Michelle, pull yourself together, we're fighting together now..."
"Hmph, scout."
Langdon sneered as he grabbed Hokshaw from the ground, picking up the spray can that the blond guy had dropped. "Looks like you need more inhaled stimulants to figure out what you're supposed to do now!"
"Only kill!"
Chi Chi Chi!
After forcefully spraying the spray can onto Hokshaw's face, Langdon's insectization intensified instantly, with even his head sprouting beetle-like chitinous horns.
Hokshaw looked up at Langdon in despair, his face slumping limply. "I really don't need anything, why did you have to take me with you?"
"Hahaha, Huo Kexiao, where else can you go besides my convoy?!"
Phew!
Almost exactly as Langdon had chopped off the blond man's head, Hokshaw slashed off Langdon's head with a grotesque cry, the insect-like mouthparts on his face emitting a chilling, piercing sound, "Eee-ee-ee!"
Then the terrifying insect's compound eyes stared at Yuwen, who was carrying a membership card, making her scalp tingle.
[Angela: The target's Seed of Light has been detected growing and beginning to connect with reality; the target's danger level is increasing.]
The scene in the barbershop suddenly became surreal, gradually dissipating and then reforming, with the electronic screen displaying the elevator floors faintly appearing.
Boom!
The massive spear blasted through the barbershop's outer wall, sweeping across the battlefield like a cannon, instantly turning the remaining insectoid soldiers into cockroach paste.
The sudden turn of events caused Hokkoshaw, who had completely transformed into an insectoid, to turn his head sharply. Even Michelle, who was clutching her wound, was surprised and uncertain about the turn of events.
The figure that then flashed in made Michelle breathe a sigh of relief. "Everyone, cover Yuwen and evacuate!"
Seeing that the thief was about to escape, Huo Kexiao's body swelled up, and his whole body looked like he was wearing a set of heavy armor shaped like an insect. Just by raising his hand and rushing forward, he brought up a swirling wind.
click!
Du Jue suddenly pulled the thorn spear embedded in the floor with force, and swept it forward, stopping the menacing insect armor Huo Kexiao in his tracks.
Now that he no longer has the bullet vest, he can still use the Giant Workshop, but without resilience, he can't perform smooth movements and instantaneous changes of moves.
"Huo Kexiao, it seems you discovered us a long time ago, otherwise the scene wouldn't have changed so drastically."
With a single powerful stroke, he swept aside his opponent, calmly blocking his only enemy.
The surrounding lifts and mirrors disappeared, replaced by the hotel's corridors and rooms, as well as the insectoid soldiers who had accompanied Hokoshaw to capture Wendo.
The insect's mouthparts made a chirping sound, but Huo Kexiao spoke in a suppressed human voice: "I am a scout, and my eyesight is extremely sharp. As a soldier, what is needed is not just the skill of killing."
"Wen Duo! You glanced at me too when we were at the restaurant!"
The voice gradually became distorted, "And when Section Chief Langdon and I were downstairs, I remembered!"
"You're the library that's trying to steal my things. I haven't done anything wrong, but I keep getting these kinds of things happen to me. It's like discrimination is always there!"
call!
Huo Kexiao's terrifying emerald green arm blades rushed towards Du Jue's face, but were easily dodged, instead blasting a bugman soldier to pieces.
"What?! How could the degree of insectification possibly reach this level?!"
"Huo Kexiao, what are you doing? I used to think you were just a coward, but I never imagined you'd become a traitor!"
The accompanying insectoids seemed to be both shocked and furious, and tried to stop him, but were astonished to find that, as fellow soldiers, Huo Kexiao's insectoid power almost overwhelmed them.
"You bastard Huo Kexiao, have you colluded with Wen Duo?! You actually betrayed us, you traitor!"
After only three rounds of fighting with Du Jue, all the insectoids around him were seriously injured and collapsed to the ground.
Gripping the spear with both hands, Du Jue, suppressing his dizziness, lunged at Huo Kexiao's lower body, saying, "Calm down, buddy. I know you're suffering because of the past, but you can make a better choice now."
Faced with Du Jue's terrifying strike that could crush his legs, Huo Kexiao's compound eyes, which could see almost 360 degrees, desperately tried to capture every dynamic change and narrowly retreated to avoid it.
"I don't want to choose! I don't want to be an insect!"
He turned around, burst open a door to a room in the corridor, and immediately climbed inside.
Is this an attempt to escape?
Du Jue, dragging his spear, immediately followed up, "You've already done it, there's no point in dwelling on it, but the choice itself is meaningful."
boom!
Huo Kexiao burst through the wall and raised his hand to pierce Du Jue's abdomen, shouting, "I don't need to choose!"
clang!
The other giant workshop firmly blocked the sharp insect limbs, and the frozen serrations on the crusher even emitted icy blue frost on the surface of its carapace.
Before the pursuit could be stopped, the other party darted into a nearby room and disappeared.
With a slight effort, he sheathed the Thorn Spear, realizing that this guy wasn't entirely irrational; he had actually thought of using the house as cover to exploit his weakness. "Hmph, not choosing is also a choice, and the worst one at that."
After all, the weight of a giant weapon dictates that there will inevitably be a distinct starting stance.
Huo Kexiao, having broken through the wall once again, did not need to turn his head or his eyes. With the help of his compound eyes, which could quickly observe complex scenes, he immediately locked onto Du Jue. The four sharp, spear-like limbs on his back stabbed at Du Jue from different angles.
"I just need to leave; all other choices are none of my business!"
"But I can't go anywhere anymore!"
The mournful and indignant voices, mixed with the chirping of insects, came to an abrupt halt. Even Huo Kexiao's four sharp limbs were jostled together haphazardly, simply because the crusher's horizontal blade had crashed down on his upper body.
At this moment, Du Jue, standing opposite Huo Kexiao, gripped the crusher tightly with both hands. He did not use the serrated edge to turn the other into mincemeat, and besides, that would require precise prediction of the enemy's location and attack trajectory.
For a massive crusher, you can simply turn it to the side and swing it like a fly swatter; you don't need to consider the enemy's exact location at all.
dong dong dong! !
The insect-like Hokkosha, like a human cannonball, pierced through five room walls and then through the hotel building, landing on the giant hamburger sign across the street.
[Objective: Hokoshaw recovery complete, Seed of Light removed, pages entered]
Watching Huo Kexiao, who was embedded in the hamburger, quickly de-infect, Du Jue took a deep breath and said, "Nowhere to go? Why don't you come work for me? I've got my eye on the remaining value of you people."
"Ugh..."
With a dazed expression, Huo Kexiao struggled to speak before falling headfirst off the sign and crashing onto the military-green tarpaulin.

Chapter 292 Hand Grenade.
"what the hell?!"
Section Chief Landon, who was directing his men to stop the Second Association, looked up abruptly and saw only a broken hamburger sign falling down, stuck in the triangular head of a metal cockroach like a guillotine.
Langdon frowned as he looked at the fifth floor of the hotel where the hole had appeared. "Why haven't these useless guys forced anyone down yet?"
Before coming, he had looked up information about Wen Duo, who was a second-tier finisher of the Six Associations. Langdon did not expect to capture the enemy alive with just a squad of soldiers, so he deliberately brought a large number of his brothers along under the guise of military operations.
"Once that guy comes down, and we use soldiers to wear him down, my treasure will definitely be able to capture him alive."
Langdon looked down at the silver star fragment in his palm and curled the corners of his mouth.
This strangely appearing thing might be the result of some research institute, but now it belongs to them.
As Langdon waved excitedly, the giant metal cockroach that had taken over the street suddenly lunged forward, pinning down all the finishers who had surrounded them from the right.
Ignoring the strange noises in his mind, Langdon realized that the Second Association had reacted quickly, and he had to deal with this matter immediately. "Burkman, take two more teams up and check the situation. Make sure you lure them down no matter what!"
"Yes, section chief!"
The withdrawn insectoid defenses were immediately replaced by the metal insects controlled by Langdon.
In accordance with his usual style, Du Jue would have simply leaped down through the gap in the hotel building and used the flames bearing the signature mark of the Wen Duo Finisher to blast the giant cockroach below.
However, he is now feeling a bit dizzy and nauseous.
The corridor on the fifth floor of the hotel.
"vomit!"
Du Jue was leaning against the wall, covering his head, when Yuri, worried, helped him sit down on the ground.
During a battle, he can maintain his momentum and ignore these messy problems, but once it ends, the discomfort that forces him to calm down surges up uncontrollably.
"Lord Wenduo, have some water."
Sensing a work crisis while in the library, Yuri solicitously took the bottled water from the bedside table in the room and quickly handed it to Du Jue.
He unscrewed the bottle cap and took a few sips to calm himself down, but he immediately thought that his mark needed to be triggered by anger.
But when he gets angry, the chaotic feeling of multiple archetypes squeezing out his emotions will disrupt them and quickly dispel his anger.
In this situation, forcibly using the branding technique would probably only result in setting off fireworks; it wouldn't even kill anyone!
He casually tossed the water bottle to his coat, and looking at the restless Yuri, Du Jue slowly took out the blank red book he had asked Angela for before leaving the library, grabbed the corner of the book and tore out a snow-white A4 sheet of paper.
Yuri tentatively asked, "Lord Wendo, shouldn't we evacuate first? Are we going to make a deal with the insectoids below? I have the courage to deliver this message, please don't fire me!"
"Who's going to expel you? Why are you so nervous after leaving the library?"
Du Jue glanced at her strangely and took out the lucky can from the dimensional glove.
He had hardly ever used this talent that could generate random grenades with a shake, but now it was time for it to come in handy.
However, Yuri was almost in tears, but she managed to maintain her composure. "I, Lord Wendo, have I known too many of your secrets? How about some memory erasure? I can accept that! Please don't kill me!"
"Alright, shake the can for me, I need to get some grenades out."
He tossed the lucky can to Yuri, and Du Jue noticed that the girl was overjoyed and cried tears of joy at the mention of work, so he quickly shook it vigorously.
