Chapter 16 Baal
Li Muhan's body instinctively wanted to dodge. After all, he grew up fighting every day in an orphanage. Later, for Gu Ruoxi, he was almost always injured.
Therefore, Li Muhan's physical fitness is better than that of his peers.
But now this punch was incredibly fast and powerful.
Even though Li Muhan dodged at the maximum speed his body could reach, he was still hit on the left half of his face by the punch.
In an instant, his body spun and flew out, then fell heavily to the ground.
"Even though I'm tired of saying this, Huo Tian, please stop."
Lin Ze yawned and said to Huo Tian.
"I'm sorry, Director Lin, this is the Special Management Bureau, and he's an alien that doesn't accept the Special Management Bureau's control. I can't give him a proper lesson."
"Alright then, finish this quickly. Today is my day off."
"Don't worry, Director Lin, it won't take you too long."
Huo Tian sneered, and his eyes, as sharp as an eagle, stared at Li Muhan who was knocked to the ground.
"Ahem... you really want to kill me..."
Li Muhan supported himself on the ground and was about to stand up. Before he could finish his sentence, the strong man opposite rushed in front of him again, and then swung another fist towards Li Muhan's head.
Bang--
Li Muhan rolled over to avoid the punch, and the punch hit the ground in the training room, actually creating a crack.
"Don't destroy the training room. Don't you want this month's salary?"
Lin Ze said with some dissatisfaction.
"I can't show mercy to those who are different from me."
Huo Tian sneered and looked at Li Muhan who was dodging away.
"You're pretty quick to react, aren't you? No, you figured out my punching pattern from my first punch? You're a natural fighter, but that's all."
"It's not that exaggerated, but I can see that you really want to kill me."
Li Muhan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood foam and several broken teeth, and looked at Huo Tian with cold eyes.
After a loud roar, Huo Tian rushed towards Li Muhan again and kicked Li Muhan's head with a whip kick.
Li Muhan did see through some of Huo Tian's moves. He suddenly squatted down to avoid the kick, and then punched Huo Tian in the stomach.
But unexpectedly, after Huo Tian's whip kick missed, he turned around and kicked Li Muhan hard in the abdomen.
Bang--
Li Muhan was kicked and flew backwards, hitting the wall.
"Hahahahaha, you're a master fighter, but unfortunately, a real fight can't be static. After all, I'm not trying to imitate your moves."
Huo Tian laughed and mocked Li Muhan.
Xia Yue wanted to step forward but Lin Ze raised his hand to stop her.
"Trust him a little more."
Then Lin Ze looked at Li Muhan who was struggling to get up from the ground and said.
"What's going on, Li Muhan? Are you okay? You don't think you can defeat our team leader just by fighting."
Li Muhan certainly knew that his fighting style was as childish as a child's in Huo Tian's eyes, so there was only one way for him to win now.
He slowly stood up and took a deep breath.
boom--
A thundercloud actually began to gather in this huge indoor training ground, and then the thundercloud quickly spread, almost enveloping most of the building.
The other staff members of the Special Management Bureau were also a little curious at this time.
"Who is it that actually deployed a boundary in the Special Management Bureau headquarters?"
"It's the guy Director Lin brought. Don't worry about him. Captain Huo Tian from Team 7 is fighting him right now."
In the training room enveloped by concentrated thunder, Huo Tian was not frightened by the scene before him.
Instead, he smiled excitedly.
"Hahahahaha, good! That's more like it!"
Then he rushed to Li Muhan, raised his fist high, and smashed it towards Li Muhan's face.
Huo Tian did not hold back with this punch. If it had really hit Li Muhan, his entire head would have been blown apart.
But Li Muhan just raised his hand slightly and took the punch nonchalantly. When the two fists collided, a fierce lightning flashed at the point of their palms.
"Good boy, you are quite strong!"
Huo Tian had a crazy smile on his face and continued to punch hard.
Li Muhan slowly stood up straight. His pupils turned light gold, and a demon horn grew on his head. A thick demon tail was constantly beating the floor.
Li Muhan slowly turned his head and met Huo Tian who was facing him.
There was a hint of madness in the eyes of both of them, and a fanatical smile appeared at the corners of their mouths.
"Hahahahahaha, so enjoyable! Keep going!!"
boom--
Huo Tian's fist suddenly exerted force again, knocking Li Muhan, who was in demon form, to the ground and half-kneeling on the ground.
Li Muhan's eyes flashed with golden light just as he raised his head.
A pair of military boots kicked him hard in the face.
"Demon, huh?! Alien, huh?! Realm, huh?!"
Huo Tian punched the demon's head again and again.
Every punch he threw would cause thunder and sparks.
Xia Yue frowned, but Lin Ze still kept smiling.
Just when Huo Tian was about to smash the demon's face with one punch.
Li Muhan, who was already lying on the ground, suddenly smiled again.
"Have you made enough noise?"
Li Muhan spoke, his voice low and hoarse, as if it came from hell.
boom--
A bolt of lightning blew Huo Tian away.
Just as he fell to the ground.
A hand grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
"Let go! Let me go!"
No matter how Huo Tian struggled, he couldn't break free from Li Muhan's fist.
Furious, he began to attack Li Muhan with his other hand and leg.
But these attacks didn't hurt Li Muhan at all, and even Li Muhan's body couldn't shake at all.
Crackling——
Then a flash of lightning flashed in his hand that was pinching Huo Tian's neck.
In the reflection of the lightning, there was Li Muhan's almost crazy smile.
boom--
Finally, the lightning struck Huo Tian's whole body. The 1.9-meter-tall strong man fell to the ground after twitching a few times.
Li Muhan let go of his hand and turned to look at Lin Ze and Xia Yue.
Xia Yue was very nervous.
Because she knew very well that if Li Muhan could not maintain his self-awareness, the Special Management Bureau would definitely treat him as an uncontrollable time bomb.
Lin Ze put his hands in his suit pockets, with a calm smile on his face.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
But Li Muhan gave them an extremely weird smile.
Those golden pupils were filled with murderous intent.
"He's out of control."
Xia Yue said this lightly, and when she wanted to step forward to take action, she was stopped by Lin Ze.
"Okay, just watch quietly."
Li Muhan, who was possessed by Baal, reached out and pushed Huo Tian, who had just gotten up and wanted to attack, to the ground again.
"Fuck, that's so strong!"
Huo Tian's face was filled with shock. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move the demon's hand even a little bit.
Then, Li Muhan's hands began to slowly turn black, and his claws replaced his palms, almost holding Huo Tian's entire face in his palms.
Just as the demon was about to crush Huo Tian's head, a dark green light suddenly burst out from his chest.
An expression of horror immediately appeared on Li Muhan's face.
The green light was emitted from the pendant that Lin Ze had asked Li Muhan to wear before.
He seemed to be tortured by the dark green pendant, so he pushed Huo Tian away and tried to tear the pendant off.
The moment his claws touched the pendant, the pendant began to change. Countless black threads shot out from the pendant and wandered around the demon's body.
The demon wanted to tear the threads, but the moment his body touched the threads, a burning sound was heard, and a roar of pain resounded throughout the training room.
"Oh my god, is this so exaggerated?"
Huo Tian, who had saved his life, didn't care about anything else. He crawled to Lin Ze, and the few of them observed the changes of the devil together.
Those dark green threads finally began to gather on the demon's face, almost covering half of his face.
Crash——
The silk thread tightly wrapped around the lower half of Li Muhan's face and turned into a restraint mask like one worn by a vicious dog.
The mask extended all the way to the base of the ears. When the mask was finally formed, Li Muhan suddenly raised his head and his pupils began to dilate.
My whole body was shaking.
It wanted to roar and destroy everything in front of it, but now the mask was constantly compressing its power.
Finally, he knelt on the ground, his head lowered, his body trembling slightly.
"You didn't tell me this would happen."
Xia Yue looked at Lin Ze with some dissatisfaction.
"No way~ Didn't I tell you before that the pendant will play a supporting role when he uses his demonic power?"
About three minutes later, Li Muhan slowly raised his head. Cold sweat wet his bangs, making his originally long hair even more messy.
There was still a hint of gold in his eyes, but he no longer had that strange evil aura.
"......I'm alive?"
This was the first sentence Li Muhan said, but because he was wearing a mask, his voice was a little muffled.
He also noticed this and raised his hand to touch his face. The moment he touched the mask, Li Muhan became a little anxious.
"I...I can actually control my body??"
Li Muhan looked at his hands, a little surprised.
Lin Ze pondered for a moment and looked at Li Muhan with interest.
"It's quite handsome, this mask."
He said to Lin Ze while trying to pull off the mask.
"This, this thing can't be taken off?!?"
"Of course. Once you release the boundary, it will return to its original form. This is the latest achievement of our Special Management Bureau's Scientific Council. Since we've never contained a demon before, this was a makeshift creation. The head of the Scientific Council calls it 'Demon Suppressor' 1.0."
"It can help you suppress the excess demonic power within your body and distribute it appropriately based on your current strength. It's like installing an external processor for you. It's very expensive."
Lin Ze said with a smile.
Finally, when Li Muhan released the boundary, the mask returned to its pendant shape.
"This feeling is really... strange."
He looked at the pendant on his chest that was now unresponsive and couldn't understand the principle behind it. Moreover, it was actually the Science Council that developed this thing.
Is the end of science really metaphysics?

An hour later.
"cheers!"
"cheers!!"
"Welcome new team members!"
In a small pub, Huo Tian laughed and patted Li Muhan on the back.
Li Muhan didn't like drinking, but in this situation, he had to raise his glass.
After Huo Tian woke up, he had to drag Li Muhan to the party. The other three members of the seventh team also attended the party.
There is the short-haired girl Yin Qi who is responsible for preliminary intelligence reconnaissance, the tall girl Su Xue who is responsible for long-range fire support, and the young man Lin Ziyu who is responsible for equipment maintenance and logistical support.
These three people are about the same age as Li Muhan, and they are all human beings, which means that Li Muhan is the only outlier among them.
