Chapter 88
A bullet traveled through time and space, and even with precise positioning, Nightmare only needed to slightly distort reality to make Ango's attack invisible. She seemed to have hit a black hole, and the bullet disappeared silently.
Ango narrowed his eyes, but still kept his arms straight, on guard, like a beast ready to attack at the first opportunity.
Qi Qi's state was relaxed, his arms open, as if to tell An Ge that he would not hurt her: "Look, this is what happened. The child has grown up and thinks he can kill people. It's also because I didn't tell you... You can't point a gun at your own people."
His tone was gentle, as if he was talking to a child, but his words made everyone around him shudder.
The gray-robed men did not move. They would not act rashly before receiving instructions from Mo Li. However, Mo Li seemed to be trying to persuade them to reconcile, trying to force An Ge to submit with gentle means.
Ango didn't seem to want to talk to Mo Li. She had one hand behind her back and the other hand raised horizontally, with her index finger firmly on the trigger. Just as Mo Li was about to approach again, she was about to fire the second bullet.
Mo Li smiled helplessly, his body deforming in the air. However, Ango wrote a large golden word "Ding" in the air with lightning speed. The word solidified into a solid object and flew backwards towards Mo Li. Mo Li's movements stopped uncontrollably at this moment. At this moment, a bullet came whistling in the wind...
Blood splattered everywhere. The bullet was originally aimed at Mo Li's heart, but in the first second when he regained his movement, he rolled a gray-robed man in front of him. His movement speed was extremely fast. Before anyone could react, there was a "puff" sound, and the gray-robed man's blood splattered everywhere. Mo Li's face was stained with blood.
The poor pagan took the fatal blow for the mouthpiece of his master, and then his body collapsed in the mountains.
Mo Li's expression changed.
Ango is a researcher who has always been sitting in the laboratory. When she was a child, she practiced shooting just on a whim and gave up after a while. In the eyes of others, she is an ordinary person who is powerless. Even though Mo Li is aware of her extraordinary abilities, how much trouble can a researcher without any training cause?
However, during this period of time, Ango's combat experience has been growing, and her extraordinary abilities have been greatly improved. The items she obtained from the Flame Bird have made up for her shortcomings - for those with A-level abilities and above, even if she hits the opponent, she cannot cause substantial damage.
If she used the Word Spirit Pen to prevent the opponent's body from changing again, then a fight with Mo Li would not be impossible.
The situation then changed in an instant. Ango pressed forward step by step, and Mo Li was forced to defend. He used the gray-robed man as a human shield to block Ango's attacks, but he never fought back.
"What's wrong? Why don't you take action?" Ango asked, "Nightmare's strength is far more than this, right?"
Mo Li waved her robe, and the entire forest instantly turned into a sea of hellfire. The gray-robed men transformed into three-headed hellhounds, hovering around her, their eyes fixed on Ango, as if they were staring at a piece of delicious meat.
Tang Yu and others behind him also saw this scene, and Lin Yaoxin and Tang Yu could no longer contain their excitement.
"What should we do? We should go out and help her!"
"Don't be impulsive!" Dylan advised, "She stopped them to protect us. If we rush out rashly, it will only cause more trouble."
After the previous dealings, the four of them had exhausted their physical strength and extraordinary abilities. Now they were dragging an unconscious wounded man, so rushing forward was not a wise move... Dylan silently calculated the time and looked anxiously into the distance - Jiang Mianyan, why hasn't he come yet.
The scene before him was like a human purgatory, but Ango was not panicked.
She still had two summoning feathers on her body, so if she really wanted to fight this group of people, it would be possible, but she didn't know how many reinforcements they had... If she used up all the props and still couldn't wait for rescue, things would be bad.
The three-headed dogs were getting closer and closer to her, and Mo Li regained his usual composure.
"Sangria, you know how much I love you." He sighed softly, looking at her with a hint of pity in his eyes, "But who on earth kidnapped you?"
An Ge sneered, "Mo Li, I never believed you."
In the Interhead Group surrounded by wolves, Mo Li is her protector and also her watcher. She is not stupid and understands her scientific research value, which is why Mo Li "treats her like a treasure". Even if she was really sheltered under his wings, it was just poisonous candy.
When she saw "Snatching Grip", she figured it out.
The only one who could keep in touch with her for a long time and was familiar with Ango's habits and mentality was Mo Li.
The only one hiding behind Du Lang and luring her into the trap step by step was Mo Li.
If Ango had not been using an encrypted channel to communicate with "Duran", Mo Li would have found her through the Internet and dragged her back to the Interhead Group to become the spearhead of Ghost Commander.
He knew that Ango had a grudge against Xisen and did not fully trust Xisen, so he took the opportunity to sow discord.
He was aware of MAA's activities over the years and knew that they might come after her, so he set a trap and got her to come to the island.
He understood Ango's persistence in technological innovation, so he used Dulang as a sample, set a trap, and waited for her to take the bait.
Poor Du Lang must have died in the fire a long time ago, and the only person who contacted her since then was Mo Li.
Thinking of this, Ango threw the light brain into the fire, and the flames instantly burned it to ashes.
"Mo Li." An Ge spoke softly, her tone calm, "I know everything."
Mo Li was slightly stunned.
"I know why I have this kind of life," Ango said.
She wanted to control her own destiny, but was repeatedly manipulated by various forces, and was involved in the battle between gods, struggling between trust and betrayal.
"If it weren't for that sacrificial ceremony, I would have been an ordinary esper, enjoying school life and preparing to work in the Security Bureau or somewhere else after graduation."
The layout of Ghost Commander is actually very simple.
He used mechanical organs to shape an immortal body, and used gray-robed men and the undead to build an altar of faith - he wanted to become a god.
The Ghost Commander initially obtained extraordinary abilities from Nightmare and began to form a ghost army, giving the undead power. He is the master of the dark world, which is why he needs so many believers and sacrificial rituals so that his ghost army can continue to grow.
Now, he is developing artificial people with special abilities to expand his influence in the real world and absorb more people into his church. In this way, his authority is further expanded, and he can control the power and extraordinary abilities of both worlds in his own hands.
He developed the "Snatching Grip," and with it, his followers would only grow. He chose this moment to stir up trouble, firstly to test the new product's capabilities and gather more data, and secondly to showcase his prowess during a livestream, thereby instilling in more people a desire for power. If believing in him could grant them extraordinary abilities and allow them to trample over others' heads, who wouldn't be tempted?
As a candidate for godhood, he is quite powerful.
But as a human being, he is a devil.
"At first I didn't understand why a cruise ship filled with ordinary tourists, with no wealthy people or high-ranking officials on board, would be targeted by the Ghost Commander and he wanted to kill everyone on board."
Xi Sen told her that his ability as a killer was valued by the Intelhead Group, but this ability was used to assassinate individual important figures - there were only ordinary people on a cargo ship, so he would not be used.
He was right. Both the assassination of Archbishop Lingguang in Lujiafield and the head of Fanyue Group at that time were important figures, so they would not choose to use Xisen in the shipwreck incident, not to mention that he was too young at the time.
"Now I understand. Your killing doesn't need a reason, because you're just recruiting troops," Ango said. "My family, the others on the ship, and those kidnapped on the island... are just denominators among millions, consumable materials and stepping stones on Ghost Commander's path to godhood."
Mo Li's expression changed slightly.
Ango held the summoning feather tightly in her hand. The fact that the Flame Bird chose her meant that she had already become another candidate for godhood in this battle. Her power was weak, but if she gathered the help around her, she might be able to fight them.
"I don't want to be a consumable or a stepping stone. I want to control my own destiny."
Ango's speech slowed down, and she was about to utter the name of God...
At this moment, a huge force came from the ground. With a violent tremor, the sea of hellfire in front of them disappeared and turned into ashes. The tremor made everyone dizzy and they had to hold on to the trees beside them tightly to avoid being knocked down.
"What happened!" Tang Yu exclaimed in the communication network.
The sky was completely dark, with layers of dark clouds piling up, interweaving and gathering, then expanding, constantly invading the surrounding territory.
A huge villa emerged from the depths of the dark clouds. It was so imposing that everyone present felt a great sense of oppression.
Behind the villa, there was an army of tens of thousands of ghosts, accompanying their god as he descended to the earth.
As time went by, the villa slowly descended into the mountains and forests, leaving no grass behind.
Tang Yu couldn't help but swallow her saliva - when had she ever seen such a scene? She turned to look at Dylan, wanting to know what was happening, but Dylan's face was dark, and that seriousness made Tang Yu realize that they might really be in big trouble.
If it was just Mo Li, they might be able to manage.
If the Ghost Commander came in person, killing them would be as easy as crushing a few ants.
The signal inside the stadium was interrupted. He had already informed Jiang Mianyan and Jiang Can before rushing over, but where were they? Only a few S-level bosses could solve the problem now. What use were they here?
The door of the villa slowly opened.
Ghost Commander walked out with his ageless face, but his vicissitudes and hoarse voice revealed his true age.
"Nightmare... Your mission has failed."
Mo Li lowered his head: "Cessi was defeated, and the snatch gloves were damaged, but I will ask Gus to repair them as soon as possible."
Ghost Commander nodded. He did not blame him, but looked at Ango.
"Long time no see, Sangria."
Perhaps it was because of the dark army of undead behind him, or perhaps it was because Ango suddenly realized that she had been pushed into the position of a competitor for the Ghost Commander, and cold sweat broke out on her back.
"Do you remember what I told you? When you were this tall?" Ghost Commander gestured. "I said I was optimistic about you. You really do have a bright future."
