◎Superpowers become targets◎

Something was crawling on the concave ceiling.

The reason why it is called a "thing" is that Ling Xi is not sure whether it is a human or a mutated monster.

That thing had a face exactly like a human's, but its body had many tentacles that stretched out in all directions, helping it to camouflage itself by sticking to the ceiling and blending in with the ceiling.

"Miss, you didn't catch me, I caught you." The octopus man shook his arm that had turned into a tentacle, wrapped around Rong Xiao's hand, and looked at her with sinister eyes and forced a smile.

Wow——

The metal wings spread out in the room, overturning the cabinets and dining table. The dazzling light was reflected into a brilliant light. Shangguan Yu flew into the air and pulled Rong Xiao down before the suction cup completely trapped him and ran away.

The octopus man's smile froze, and his tentacles suddenly swelled and stretched rapidly, wrapping around Shangguan Yu's legs from behind.

"Want to run? I won't let you get away."

Along with that extremely weird laugh and hoarse words, a tentacle emerged from the left side of the octopus man, stretched straight and pierced Shangguan Yu's back.

"Xiao Yu, be careful--" Shangguan Huai rushed forward regardless of his own safety, wanting to get the best position in advance to prepare for healing.

"Rong Xiao!"

Ling Xi shouted and threw the kitchen knife in her hand towards Rong Xiao with all her strength.

The kitchen knife spun rapidly in the air and turned into a shadow.

At this moment, she should have thrown the weapon to Shangguan Yu, but Ling Xi instinctively gave the knife to Rong Xiao, as if this was the best choice in her mind.

The blade spun rapidly, and everyone's heart was hanging in the air. Tian Yichuang clenched his fingers so tightly that his nails pricked his palms so hard that he forgot to move his fingers.

The naked eye could no longer distinguish the swirling cold light from the blade and the handle. Ling Xi regretted it so much that she wanted to hammer herself to death. Why bother throwing the kitchen knife? It would be safer to just charge in and chop!

The next second, the rotating kitchen knife stopped abruptly. Rong Xiao grabbed the handle accurately and swung his arm to cut off the front end of the tentacle in the blink of an eye.

Rong Xiao was not satisfied with just one strike, so he made several more consecutive cuts, each one hitting the target with his fast and fierce hands.

The tentacle that tried to attack was cut into several pieces and fell to the ground. It looked like... an enlarged piece of squid.

"Please... please cut off the one wrapped around my leg first, thank you." Shangguan Yu turned Rong Xiao around speechlessly, forcing her eyes to look at his entangled leg.

If it weren't for the power of the wings pulling in the opposite direction, the two of them would probably have been dragged back to the octopus man.

However, Rong Xiao was still busy playing with the octopus leg.

"Oh! This is easy!" As soon as the words fell, two cuts were made and the tentacles were cut off cleanly.

"Damn it, you..." The octopus man's tentacles retracted into his body and quickly retreated from the ceiling towards the door.

After the tentacles returned to the body, the skin surface returned to normal, with no signs of abnormality at all.

"You are deliberately ambushing us here." Shangguan Yu landed slowly, threw Rong Xiao to the ground, and backed away while speaking. In the end, almost half of his tall body was covered by Rong Xiao.

The octopus man covered his wound and sneered, "You are indeed very smart. Just looking at the surface of that room, it really wouldn't arouse any suspicion, but..."

"There's a strange smell in the room."

Shangguan Yu didn't expect that he had been careful enough, but this octopus man could actually judge from the smell that someone else had entered the house. It was really hard to guard against.

"There is a person with spatial abilities among them." An emotionless voice suddenly floated from the entrance.

Neither nervous nor happy, as if stating a fact coolly.

The Octopus Man forced them to move into the inner room, so they couldn't see what was happening at the entrance. However, the Octopus Man should have two more accomplices, but they just didn't take action.

"One of them has a fire ability, and the other has a healing ability."

The person at the entrance was able to easily tell everyone's abilities, as if he was broadcasting a complete and clear news report.

"So many people with special abilities? This is the first time I've encountered them," the octopus man laughed. His eyes suddenly gleamed, and his ears transformed into tentacles, curling up in mid-air as if in a demonstration. "But none of them have any powerful offensive abilities. They're no match for us."

"You always take it so lightly. If you die later, I won't collect your body."

"Oh, shut up!" the octopus man cursed angrily.

The octopus man, the one talking at the entrance, and an unseen companion.

The strength of these three people is definitely not weak. The octopus man who came out to focus the fire was already difficult to deal with. The other companion who was only heard but not seen counted out all their special abilities and almost revealed all their cards.

The other one...I'm afraid it's not simple either.

"Everyone, how about we discuss the terms first?" The octopus man stopped attacking directly with his tentacles waving in the air. He forced a kind smile and used a relaxed tone to ease the atmosphere, "Is there anyone with spatial abilities among you..."

"That girl." The voice from the entrance emphasized.

"Hand over your supplies and the rewards from this game to us. We can help you complete the mission successfully and leave safely~"

The tentacles were waving happily in the air, and the octopus man's deliberately relaxed tone made Long Qingyu's expression even more solemn.

This isn't a negotiation at all, it's a threat.

The seemingly nice words were just a disguised warning that if they didn't do as he said, they would not be able to "leave safely."

The feeling of having their special abilities completely revealed made them feel embarrassed as if they were being seen through without any cover.

In the past, superpowers were trump cards, but now... superpowers have become targets. They will definitely break the advantages brought by their superpowers in a targeted manner according to their own plans.

"Is there no room for negotiation?" Long Qingyu kept his gun pointed at the octopus man. "No other terms to discuss?"

"Of course there is," he swung his tentacles in mid-air, and a new tentacle emerged from the octopus man's neck, even stronger and larger than the previous one. "To avoid the trouble, you can choose to just let me kill it and put an end to it once and for all, so as not to waste each other's time."

"Sister Xi, is this an octopus or a human?" Rong Xiao couldn't contain her curiosity and asked softly, covering her mouth with her hand. "If it's an octopus, can it be grilled? I heard... grilled octopus is delicious."

Lingxi was so nervous that she had a headache, and her hands holding the kitchen knife were covered in cold sweat.

She had no intention of answering this inappropriate question, but when she met Rong Xiao's innocent gaze, and his earnest and eager look for the answer...

There was an uncontrollable feeling called "ghostly" that Ling Xi was now dominated by as she answered: "That's a human, maybe... mutated? I don't understand."

"Huh? People can mutate into food?!" Rong Xiao's sparkling eyes made the octopus man very angry.

That's not the look of a person, it's more like a hungry person trying to figure out whether a certain ingredient should be steamed or stir-fried.

"Stop talking nonsense. It seems like you are not going to cooperate?" The octopus man narrowed his eyes impatiently, a white light flashed in the depths of his pupils, his arms turned into tentacles, and he rolled towards Shangguan Huai who was closest to him without saying a word.

Shangguan Huai tried to run, but the tentacles were faster than him and lifted him up in the blink of an eye.

"Save me, save me!" Shangguan Huai stretched out his hand towards his brother and let out a miserable cry.

Looking closely, Shangguan Yu was standing still, and the wings on his back showed no sign of spreading.

The look in his eyes seemed to say: Solve it yourself, if you can't solve it, there's nothing he can do.

Tentacle after tentacle emerged from the octopus man's skin. The tentacles were fast, some were thick and some were thin, and there were huge numbers of them. They could even work together, some were responsible for diverting attention, and some were responsible for sneak attacks.

The dense tentacles almost completely separated the team into every corner of the room.

After Shangguan Huai was captured, the second was Ling Xi, and the next to be targeted were Tian Yichuang and Shangguan Yu.

The man at the entrance did not show up, but he conveyed the information accurately and promptly. He said categorically that Long Qingyu had no superpowers. The octopus man did not take him seriously and wanted to control the superpower user first.

Shangguan Yu, who pretended to be in a panic to avoid the tentacles, was forced to the window. He folded his metal wings in advance, and when the other party was about to launch a fatal blow, he jumped out of the window, spread his wings and flew ten meters away.

Octopus Man: “…”

He had seen many people fleeing in panic, but the one who was so determined and did not hesitate to abandon the team and escape... Shangguan Yu was definitely the first one.

The tentacles swayed calmly towards Long Qingyu, as if teasing the prey trapped in a trap and finding fun in it.

Even people with super powers can't escape, so what can this guy without super powers do?

The tentacle on the left attracted Long Qingyu's attention. Secretly, a thin tentacle was approaching him quietly along the gap in the cabinet, intending to launch a surprise attack from the right.

Bang--

The bullet pierced the tentacle on the left, and the tentacle on the right, which had just been raised, was suddenly hit by another bullet.

Octopus Man has seen many people using guns. They often pay attention to the left but not the right, and it takes at least two seconds to aim, so the second shot will basically miss.

Not only did Long Qingyu break the tentacle on the left with one shot, but the second shot also accurately broke the tentacle on the right that seemed to have gone unnoticed.

A sudden chill spread across his heart without warning.

After calming down and thinking carefully, every shot fired by Long Qingyu hit the target and he never wasted a bullet.

"Rong Xiao——"

Shangguan Yu's voice drifted into the house with the wind: "Hit him in the eyes."

"Oh——" Although he didn't understand why Shangguan Yu said that, Rong Xiao put down the knife, rolled up his sleeves and was about to start.

Panic flashed across his eyes. The octopus man tried to steady himself and sneered, "You're dreaming!"

Several tentacles, out of anger, rolled towards Rong Xiao at a fast and fierce speed, trying to poke a hole in her.

"clatter!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Like a robot equipped with automatic dodging, Rong Xiao climbed up the stairs ferociously, stepping on the tentacles as if they were steps. In a blink of an eye, he was in front of the octopus man, only an arm's length away from his face.
