Du Jue was shocked not only by the enemy in front of him, but also by the fact that Carly was at a disadvantage.
puff!
Carly, who had been forcibly repelled, stared in astonishment at the Bubble Man she had just clashed with. "Garrion? No, that's not her fighting style!"
"Why are Ein and Carmen so shameless and self-destructive after killing Enoch? They caused death, yet they only know how to run away from it. So why did they interfere with our existence in the first place?!"
Overwhelmed with grief and rage, Lisa had completely lost the maturity she claimed to possess; she resembled a broken child. "You all have to die, just as you kill others! Is death such a trivial thing to you?!"
Boom!
The sharp short gun pierced Du Jue's right arm, causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain. If it weren't for his resilience, the crusher he was holding in his right hand would have fallen to the ground.
Du Ju, who gritted his teeth and used the Thorn Spear to cut through Master Wim, who was relentlessly attacking him, felt that Bubble Man's strength was completely inaccurate.
"Carly, hold on! Giovanni is making a move and will weaken the enemy's forces soon."
Seeing the situation rapidly deteriorating, Du Jue quickly reminded Carly.
Despite blood trickling from her mouth, Carly immediately spoke calmly, "I understand, I'll stay with you!"
The next moment, she and the Bubble Man Galion were locked in a fierce exchange, barely having time to speak, their figures obscured by the thick blood mist.
puff!
By narrowly dodging Master Wim's thrust, the Bubble Axe Gang behind him was knocked backward by the paintbrush spearhead, but was not pierced through.
"Wait a minute, it seems like these things attack in a differentiated manner!"
Du Jue, focused on dodging, immediately noticed something amiss and quickly spotted the Bubble Man that was about to surround him on the Corpse Slope.
Denno from the Gladiator Gang, Kikuyu from the Association, and that prosthetic doctor.
call!
Du Jue calmly stepped back, thwarting Dai Nuo and Ju Yu's attacks, but was unexpectedly stabbed in the kidney from the right side by the swiftly prosthetic doctor.
Looking down at the scalpel at his waist, Du Jue swiftly shot the illusionary doctor through the head, shattering his body and causing him to dissipate into the air. "I think I understand now, these things aren't replicas of reality!"
shhhhhh!
Master Wim's paintbrush and short gun came again, causing Du Jue to activate the Hidden Dragon skill in alarm. He was determined to eliminate this threat from the illusionary man first, and immediately his right hand nimbly spun to take out the Blood-Nourishing Sword and threw it out.
Stab it!
Who knew that Master Wim's reaction speed would suddenly increase in that instant, and even in the time-slowed state, he managed to turn his head to dodge, only suffering a deep sword wound on his right cheek, and then continued to pursue Du Jue.
"It can be even faster! Why wasn't it this fast just now?!"
Du Jue suddenly realized what was happening, hurriedly distanced himself from the other person, pulled out the pneumatic syringe and injected it into his wrist, forcibly calming down his turbulent emotions.
The back injury also healed rapidly.
Upon closer inspection, Du Jue noticed that Master Wim's movements had suddenly slowed down. The rapid changes were too obvious and drastic. He suddenly realized and loudly reminded Carly, "Don't think about killing them. I think that's the source of the power of these bubbles!"
"How is this possible?!"
Carly's face darkened upon hearing this. Even though she had grown a lot, she couldn't calmly accept the monsters that wanted to kill her. "But even if they aren't strong, they will still hinder our progress!"
"To advance, we must kill them!"
[Should we evacuate first? Now that we know the enemy's detailed intelligence, we can formulate targeted tactics.]
We can arrange fire support from the Rabbit Squad here. Don't worry, they're using special-grade ammunition.
Ministers Gabriel and Ilya at the rear are prepared to make a rapid advance and provide rescue for you.
"Carly, retreat!"
246
Chapter 246 Death.
"Damn it! This is a fake!"
Carly stared resentfully at Galion, whose face was full of mockery, and immediately retreated while fighting, refusing to regroup.
Having dealt with Bubble Man Kikuyu and Denno's refusals, he had already come up with a solution. He took a deep breath and forced himself not to attack, focusing only on dodging Bubble Man Wim.
"It works! The Bubble Man's strength is indeed linked to our killing intent!"
Upon seeing Wim's sudden slowdown in pursuit, Du Jue was overjoyed and quickly made a strategic retreat with Carly, only to be blocked by a large number of corpses that were crowding in.
The bubble figure immediately surrounded the two completely.
Da da da!
A burst of rapid, intense gunfire rang out, followed by the mutilated bodies falling to the ground, revealing the narrow passageway.
"Carly! No way! Come out now!"
Ilya shouted a warning, noting that she was surrounded by a large number of EGO employees providing protection, as well as armed civilian staff who were firing.
Du Jue immediately withdrew the crusher, drew a semi-circle in the air with the thorn spear in his hand, and immediately swept out a crescent-shaped cloud of smoke. "You go out first, I'll cover you!"
The softened smoke from the waist spread along the spiral of smoke on the arm to the gun tip, then directly detonated the entire continuous stream of smoke.
Bang!
Soil and flesh flew together, and the air was filled with the smells of earth and blood, which greatly irritated their nasal passages.
"Hurry up and catch up!"
Carly broke free from the bubble-man encirclement without hesitation.
The pervasive blood mist swept away most of the corpses blocking the way, and Carly's determination to escape also greatly slowed down the speed of the Bubble Men chasing her.
Seeing that Carly had successfully retreated to the side of the main force, Du Jue nodded in satisfaction and immediately ordered them to retreat along the same route.
"Damn it! You bastard!"
Hearing this, Carly couldn't help but glare angrily at Du Jue, forcefully suppressing her urge to rush back. "Du Jue! Don't tell me you're coming to cover our retreat!"
"Trust me! Stop talking nonsense!"
There was no time to explain further, and to avoid being entangled by the surging enemies again, this was the first time he had felt the oppressive feeling brought by numbers.
The bubble-like figures attacking from the front must be restrained from killing them, while the corpses behind them keep coming in waves after being killed.
Looking worriedly at Du Jue, whose form was once again hidden by the colorful bubbles, Ilya turned to Carly and asked anxiously, "Is Du Jue really okay alone?! We have to go and support him!"
"Calm down, Du Jue isn't stupid, he knows what he's doing."
Carly thought of Du Jue jumping into the lake with her in his arms when she said this, and suddenly felt that what she said might not be accurate. "Anyway, I'll trust him!"
Ilya was puzzled by Carly's gritted teeth, but there was no time for idle chatter on the battlefield where the situation was urgent, so she immediately led her people to retreat.
The Pyramid of Enoch.
"Stop it! Why are you still bothering me after things have come to this?!"
Lisa, her body contorted in agony, screamed, "What are you expecting? My death?! You want to make what has already happened happen again?!"
tear.
Du Jue tore his company white shirt to shreds, revealing his fair chest adorned with branding and tattoos. "It's not me who's expecting it, it's you."
"Anyone who is not yet dead is undoubtedly looking forward to something, whether it is to stay away from death and pain or to embrace beauty and happiness, but waiting only brings the approach of death."
He gazed sincerely at the small, seemingly unreachable figure, but the other person revealed a strong hostility in their eyes. "Lisa, the deceased has rested in peace. Now you are resentful, which clearly means you are looking forward to a more peaceful world."
Swish!
The paintbrush-like short spear suddenly stabbed from the side, instantly crushing Du Jue's right shoulder blade.
"I don't expect it at all, Enoch is already dead!"
Lisa stomped her foot angrily, her bright blonde hair and the red ribbon binding her long hair swaying violently. "Death is the same for everyone, merciless and unchangeable!"
Du Jue forcibly suppressed the urge to retaliate, pressed the pneumatic syringe firmly against his neck, and continued speaking with his mouth full of blood: "Death is irreversible, but there are many survivors like you and me here, and they can live better lives!"
"For example, banning all unethical human experiments within the nest, providing temporary shelter and food relief for the homeless, and helping orphans integrate into the city legally and normally—so many expectations are waiting to be realized. It's too early to talk about death at this moment!"
[The suppressor for this department has been reactivated by Secretary Giovanni.]
From the sky, the horde of corpses surrounding the bubbles gradually collapsed from the outside in, and those who had died found peace again, but more bubble people emerged to take their place.
Hearing this, Lisa's eyes turned red, and the blood vessels in her eyes twisted like red spiders crawling out of their sockets. "Shut up! Stop it! Take a good look at how many people you've killed. You're just as untrustworthy as Ein!"
[Please stop! Minister Lisa's core restraining power has abnormally increased. She is very excited. Please prioritize your own safety.]
Lisa lowered her head and roared at Du without regard for her image: "Besides, they've already said that once!"
"Then I'll say it again now!"
Even when surrounded, Du Jue remained calm as he touched the "death" tattoo on his chest, the only work tool he was unwilling to use lightly.
Lisa, refuted, immediately covered her ears. "It's completely useless. They've tried changing the city before, but this is the result!"
"Then let's do it again!"
"Just for something like this, we want to create more deaths?!"
Lisa's entire form collapsed, transforming into a giant spider embracing the corpse pyramid, "Death, what is the meaning of it all..."
More and more bubble people rushed forward to prevent being knocked down, but the softening smoke from the explosion immediately pushed them back.
"Without a doubt, the meaning of death is precisely to avoid meaningless deaths! Here, ridiculous things like dying of thirst, starving to death, dying from surgery, dying from having a kidney harvested, and being hacked to death for being unable to pay protection money happen again and again!"
"We have to keep taking action so that these things will never happen again!"
The Tattoo of Death!
An extremely heavy gray mist crawled and spread across the ground, like a writhing abyss or an undulating black mountain range.
"For this death, even, ugh!! a thousand times over!"
The real-time communication left all the ministers involved in the operation and the one-way contact, Mü, dumbfounded; they had never heard of anything more outrageous.
Miao, who was focused on eliminating the illusionists, just felt that the people of Company L were as crazy as the anomalies here. Even though Du Jue had been mentally corrupted to this extent, he could still serve as the commander of the operation.
The other ministers fell into an awkward silence, because this sounded even more outrageous than Carmen's desire to eliminate urban ills; it was simply impossible in the city.
However, they soon had no time to think about anything else, only feeling that the whole world was filled with piercing wails.
247
Chapter 247 (beginning).
The person covering up their tattoos wanted to express themselves, but the various sardines emerging from the soil were in a chaotic mess, their transparent bodies flashing with different archetypal images.
Crows, bats, skulls, and snakes were all constantly moving around in front of him, making Du Jue somewhat dizzy and bewildered by the strange sights.
However, after noticing the chilling aura of death emanating from the withered trees in the dark night, Du Jue realized that the so-called prototypes were merely people's conjectures and perceptions of the world, without any distinction between before and after.
He refused to subconsciously resist those archetypes that truly brought death, even though the original function of the Death Tattoo was to make everyone feel the pain of death, but that was not what he wanted.
He only wanted to solve the problem, not to vent his malice again.
Death is not included in life, because a living person cannot experience death.
The heavy armor, so black that even the patterns were invisible, completely covered Du Jue. The corpses on the ground rose up and were steadily carried on Du Jue's back. An extremely quiet and cold night descended.
The prototype of the heavily armored knight made Du Jue feel a chill down his neck, and he raised his hand, completely bewildered.
"This is……?"
Even Lisa, who was in a state of emotional turmoil, was stunned for a moment when she saw Du Jue suddenly transform into a heavily armored knight before she noticed the terrified and wailing bubble people.
Almost all the formed bubble people completely lost their already limited rationality the moment the heavily armored knights approached, and scattered and fled frantically.
Lisa, now a giant spider lying on the mountain of corpses, suddenly felt a chill in her hands and feet, a feeling of despair and fear from the time she had witnessed Enoch's death long ago.
Even though the black-armored knight didn't wield his weapon as he walked, the ever-increasing fear of death could awaken the will to survive in almost any living being.
Death is the end of life.
"Where's my head?!"
Du Jue felt his mind become muddled, and he looked around anxiously, only to see an empty battlefield and the giant Lisa Spider. "Wait, where did all the corpses go?!"
It wasn't until the corpses beneath his horse trampled blood into the ground that Du Jue realized the bodies in his vision seemed to have become invisible, and he could only see living people.
"How am I supposed to find my head if I can't see it?!"
