Chapter 389: Illusion, Rebellion, Chessboard (asking for monthly ticket)

The body of the boy in jumpsuit was riddled with holes in a pool of black and thick blood.

His head drooped, his eyes blank, his limbs drooping to the ground like a deflated doll. Not a single piece of skin remained intact on his face; bones could be seen through the holes. Even his bones were broken, pieces of bleached white debris flowing through the blood, all flowing out of the holes.

Hacker, dead.

Su Zimai lowered his head slightly and gasped for breath.

She stared at the boy in the jumpsuit on the ground, and after confirming that he was completely dead, she moved past the hacker's body and walked towards Rukawa Chiba step by step.

Su Zimai looked up from the tangled hair. Rukawa Chiba only had his left hand left. His right hand had been burned by the fireball. Blood flowed from the severed wrist.

In the silence, one could hear the roar of a train and the sound of fog bombs exploding in the distance. The black moonlight enveloped Su Zimai's face, but she completely ignored it all. It seemed that only Rukawa Chiba was left in her eyes.

She clenched her fists, and the magic patterns on her gloves glowed faintly, but at this moment, Rukawa Chiba suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"Excuse me for being blunt... Miss Su Zimai, don't you want to confirm who was the one who died just now?" Rukawa Chiba adjusted the lens with his left hand and suddenly smiled.

Su Zimai frowned suddenly: "You still want... still want..."

But at this moment, she suddenly stopped and her voice stopped abruptly.

She lowered her head and stared blankly, only to see that the hacker's body had suddenly changed, and the jumpsuit had turned into strips of tattered restraints.

Supported by his restraints, Gu Wenyu staggered to his feet from the pool of blood. With a rotten, ugly face, he approached Su Zimai step by step.

With every step he took, blood would flow out of the holes in his body and spill onto the ground.

After a moment, he opened his bloody lips and uttered a hoarse sound from his throat, "Cough... why..."

Su Zimai was stunned. She shook her head and backed away, her face gradually turning pale.

At this moment, in the real world, on the long street of black and white pantomime.

Rukawa Chiba lowered his eyes as he looked at the unconscious Su Zimai on the ground. He said calmly, "This is a chain of dreams. You think you've woken up... but in fact, you're still dreaming. As long as a person is in a dream, their judgment becomes weak. I only need to slightly manipulate her emotions, amplify her confusion, fear, and anxiety... to affect her judgment and achieve the effect of making her feel as if she is still in a dream."

At this moment, in the mobile phone held in the doctor's right hand, the hacker of the data body lowered his head and sighed.

He said disdainfully, "Doctor, just deal with her... Stop dithering. Tong's mother and Andrew are still fighting over there. Otherwise, just capture her and negotiate."

"Don't be anxious..." Rukawa Chiba shook his head, "I'm a little curious about this girl's memories. Understanding the existence of the 'Black Pupa' is of great significance to me."

"Why?" the hacker asked, "Why are you and the captain so concerned about that 'Black Pupa'?"

Rukawa Chiba put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and looked down at Su Zimai.

He murmured, "I only know that 'Black Pupa' is unique. I can tell from her memories... Black Pupa, like Xia Pingzhou, is an emotionless person. Moreover, her memories are very strange, as if implanted by some kind of ability, yet it seems possible that they are real memories. It's a contradictory and chaotic state... It's really creepy."

"A person without emotions? A contradictory state?" The hacker was stunned.

But the next second, a movie screen suddenly appeared behind Su Zimai - Ke Qirui, who was far away, noticed the situation here, and while confronting Andrew, he tried to use the power of the movie demon to take Su Zimai away.

"It's useless. How could I be hit by the same trick twice?" The hacker had expected this.

The moment he saw the black and white screen, he transformed Su Zimai's body into a stream of data. He then controlled that stream of data and flew up from right in front of the screen.

The next second, just as the movie screen was about to close, the roar of a train engine suddenly came from it, and the dark red front of the train rushed towards Rukawa Chiba.

Rukawa Chiba was slightly stunned. The hacker's "dataization" could not be used frequently, so he had nowhere to escape at this moment.

He was instantly blown more than ten meters away and fell on a white house. Blood flowed from his nostrils and he was sunken in the crack, unable to recover.

"I digitized part of your body at the last second and saved your most important organs. Are you okay?" the hacker asked hurriedly.

"It's okay, much better..." Rukawa Chiba pondered and slowly got up from the pit, "Where's that girl?"

The hacker on the phone screen raised his hand, and Su Zimai turned into a solid object and appeared beside him.

At that moment, Su Zimai's body suddenly turned into a straight-standing scarecrow. The scarecrow slowly opened its mouth and showed a strange smile to Rukawa Chiba and the hacker.

The hacker was momentarily stunned. The next second, the scarecrow demon vanished, replaced by Rukawa Chiba, whose body was covered in a thick layer of straw and tied to a cross-shaped wooden pole, unable to move.

Su Zimai appeared in the distance, her gloves raised, aimed at Rukawa Chiba. Magical light patterns instantly filled to full strength, and a fireball roared out. Then, her body was engulfed by a movie screen, vanishing from the spot.

Rukawa Chiba's body was instantly digitized, detached from the wooden pole, and the fireball passed by him.

At this moment, Tong Zizhu, who was playing close combat with Xu Sanyan, suddenly distanced himself from him.

She glanced at the scene in the distance, then raised her hand to cover the fox mask. Like a frame-skipping movie scene, Tong Zizhu's figure twitched and swayed, and disappeared from the spot in an instant, leaving only a blurry phantom.

"Coming again... Which direction does she plan to attack from this time?" Xu Sanyan frowned.

He immediately raised his umbrella and pointed it at his feet. With a whoosh, thick white mist emanated from the umbrella tip, enveloping Xu Sanyan for a hundred meters.

This patch of fog is his home ground. As long as Tong Zizhu appears in the fog, he can immediately sense her presence. No matter which angle she attacks from, he is confident that he can defend himself.

But unexpectedly, Tongzizhu did not attack him, but returned to the side of Rukawa Chiba and the hacker. She walked towards them with an expressionless face and said nothing.

"Mother Tong, why are you back?" The hacker glanced at her and spoke.

"I think it's more fun to bully a little girl. Fighting with a grown man and sweating profusely is too boring, isn't it?"

After saying that, Tongzi Zhu suddenly jumped up and kicked Rukawa Chiba over with a sweeping kick.

The doctor was slightly stunned, and the phone slipped out of his right hand. The hacker on the screen looked shocked.

Before either of them could say anything, Tong Zizhu punched the phone screen. With a "bang", the entire phone shattered, and pieces of charged parts were ejected.

The hacker's data body lost its place to stay, broke away from the phone, and returned to reality.

"What are you doing?! Menopause?" The hacker fell to the ground with a thud, raised his head and looked at her in confusion and shock.

"She is Su Ying's child..."

After saying this, Tong Zizhu's body transformed into a phantom, twisting and dissipating. A moment later, she suddenly appeared beside Ke Qirui and slowly walked towards her.

At this moment, Ke Qirui had just used the movie screen to get rid of Andrew and Robert. She glanced sideways and met Tong Zizhu's eyes in surprise.

"It seems that Sanyan has convinced you?" she asked.

"It wasn't her who convinced me, it was me who convinced myself." Tong Zizhu said nonchalantly, "Is that girl okay?"

Ke Qirui hugged Su Zimai's waist and calves and held her in his arms. Su Zimai had her eyes closed, her face full of struggle and pain.

"Xiaomi." She asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

In an instant, Su Zimai frowned, raised her magic glove, and pointed her palm at Ke Qirui. The lines on the glove were instantly filled with blue magic fluorescence. But in this second, she could see the other person's face clearly through the fluorescence, and she opened her mouth blankly:

"Captain?"

"I'm glad you're okay. Can you stand up?" Ke Qirui asked softly.

"Um."

Su Zimai nodded.

"Then you better be careful." Ke Qirui said, slowly putting her down from his arms.

Su Zimai's legs felt a little weak, and she sat on the ground for a moment. Then she turned her head and saw Tong Zizhu. She was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking:

"What's the situation with this person?"

"She's betrayed me." Ke Qirui said, looking up at Tong Zizhu. "So, what are you going to do next?"

"Let me make it clear first, I'm only responsible for protecting this child." Tong Zizhu whispered, "If she dies, Su Ying will be sad."

"Is that so?" Ke Qirui said calmly, "I'm Su Ying's father's adopted daughter. Can't you call me aunt and protect me?"

"……ha?"

Tong Zizhu tilted his head, stunned, and his mind was unable to wrap around for a moment.

"You're right to be surprised... Welcome to our family of gods and men."

Su Zimai spoke meaningfully, wiping her cheek with the back of her hand. Then she supported her aching head, forced herself to stand up, and looked up at the long street in front of her.

At that moment, a portal appeared on the surface of the Gothic house, and a man in a denim jacket roared out. He was holding a sniper rifle, his eyes bloodshot and veins throbbing on his forehead.

"What are you guys whining about? Let me out right now, you hear me? I'm going to go fight those bastards from Lake Hunter. How can I have time to play hide-and-seek with you guys?!"

Andrew's eyes widened and he roared loudly.

At this time, he had completely lost his mind. He even loaded a "Dragon Cinder" that was supposed to be reserved for Hu Lie into the sniper rifle, and then pulled the trigger towards the three people.

“Bang!”

A deafening gunshot rang out, and a blood-red bullet flew out of the chamber.

At that moment, a faint dragon's roar seemed to echo in the air, and surging dragon flames enveloped the surface of the bullet. Soon, the bullet exploded. Crimson flames raged out, like a mushroom cloud, enveloping the entire long street with unstoppable force.

All the Gothic buildings were reduced to ashes in the devastating dragon flames, and a huge hole was formed. The hole connected to the port of Haifan City.

The figures of Yan Molin, Qi Yuanyuan and others can be seen above the port. At this time, they also turned their heads in surprise and looked at the scene inside the movie through this space hole.

"Great strength can make miracles happen. Then we don't need to continue struggling."

Robert scratched the mechanical box's head and said with a sigh, "That train girl isn't any good at anything else, but she's a first-rate runner. It's a waste of time to continue dealing with them."

"Where are the hacker and the doctor? Let's go." Andrew lowered the sniper rifle and said coldly.

At this time, Rukawa Chiba and the hacker also quickly approached. They looked up at the hole in space and then at the clock tower in the distance.

At this moment, under the black moon, on the huge bell tower, four figures were standing: Su Zimai, Ke Qirui, Xu Sanyan, and Tong Zizhu.

It seems that Ke Qirui had used the power of the movie demon to move their bodies to the top of the clock tower before the "Dragon Ashes" exploded.

Xu Sanyan could barely hold the cigarette in his mouth. He muttered in shock, "What the hell is this bullet? It shattered the very space of the movie world."

"I don't know, but if this bullet were used against Hu Lie, I can't imagine what would happen..." Ke Qirui's forehead was covered in sweat. "Zhou Jiuya, Lin Xingshi, you must not let your guard down."

"Captain, my father and elder brother are still outside." Su Zimai said.

"We can't control them. According to the plan, we have to leave here immediately." Ke Qirui said, "Trust your brother, he will definitely take care of those two members by now, and even if your father and the president are defeated, they will definitely escape unscathed."

Su Zimai hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That's true."

She raised her head and looked at Tong Zizhu, "Do you want to go with them?"

Tongzi Zhu was silent for a while, then took off the fox mask, revealing his true face.

She shook her head, "No... I no longer have any reason to stay in the brigade."

As she spoke, she lowered her eyes to look at the four members on the long street. At this moment, Andrew had already stood up and walked towards the port without any hesitation.

"Hey, are we just leaving like this? What about Tongzizhu?" asked the hacker.

"Can't you see? She's no longer on our side." Robert put his hand on his shoulder and lowered his mechanical and magnetic voice.

Andrew said gloomily without even turning his head, "Our opponent is not them, but the Lake Hunter... Never mind."

Rukawa Chiba remained silent, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and had a faint smile on his face.

The three members of the brigade walked forward, and the moonlight from the port shone through the space hole into the interior of the movie world.

The hacker turned around and took one last look at Tong Zizhu. Then he followed Andrew and the others into the huge space hole and returned to the port of Haifan City.

Not long ago, inside Xia Pingzhou’s Black King Territory.

Looking out, all he saw was an empty world, the ground a chessboard of alternating black and white. Like a Colosseum, the edges of the chessboard had invisible walls erected to prevent the fighting fighters from escaping.

He held Ayase Origami's right hand and said, "Don't leave me for a moment."

The girl in kimono nodded silently.

The two looked up and saw a young man standing right in front of the chessboard. He was wearing a black sweater and jeans, with black electric sparks dancing on his body.

Gu Qinye raised his head, slowly looked around, and finally cast his gaze on Xia Pingzhou and Ayase Origami.

"Your reaction is quite quick." Gu Qinye praised expressionlessly.

Xia Pingzhou remained silent, just staring at him quietly, then released Tianqu. Black and white light rushed out and formed a chessboard around him. The chess shadows slowly rotated like satellites rotating around the earth.

On the huge chessboard, the two looked at each other.

In an instant, the roar of lightning tore through the silence, and the battle was about to break out.
