"Task Seven: Miriam Knight's Request. (Completed)"
As the mission notification flashed by, Lin Feng took off his somewhat cumbersome suit jacket in front of the car and jumped into the Ye Corporation vehicle.
The Taoist priest plopped into the carriage, loosened his collar, and sighed with regret, "Whatever, can we play a little longer? It feels like such a waste."
Lin Feng glanced at the situation outside the car. The car was gradually moving away from the building. Not only were NCPD's hovercars flying over, but also Arasaka's hovercars, and... a burly figure jumping directly off a hovercar.
"Participants..."
Lin Feng's voice instantly turned icy. The man with his bare chest exuded a sense of danger, making it impossible for Lin Feng to look away.
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest turned around and pressed his face against the rear window of the car, looking in the direction Lin Feng had indicated.
The man was only wearing trousers and military boots, and his chest and back were covered with a large number of modified lines and textures that divided his body into many different areas along the muscle lines.
Just modified humans?
No, other ingredients must have been added...
Just then, the participant turned his head without any basis and stared straight at Lin Feng and the others' car.
Lin Feng and the Taoist priest were immediately startled, not only by their vision, but also by the ten prosthetic eyes that suddenly appeared on the other person's face, each twitching like a snail's antennae, making their hair stand on end!
In a flash, the mechanical prosthetic eyes on his face locked onto Lin Feng's car. The man quickly gathered his strength and leaped across dozens of meters towards the car above them.
"Run!!!"
Lin Feng kicked open the car door and just as he jumped out of the car, a whooshing sound of something falling through the air rang out behind them.
Boom! The car was cleaved in two, and a huge, scorching red blade unfolded behind him, unleashing streaks of crimson tornado-like light towards Lin Feng's retreating figure.
Death was ever-present, and the sound of shattering blows drew ever closer. Lin Feng had no idea what was approaching; he only cared about running forward.
"Hongling!"
Ghostly figures descended from the sky, and the abnormal energy that had been roaming the building instantly crashed to the ground, casting a chilling, panic-inducing atmosphere over everything around them.
Lin Feng rolled on the spot, the scorching blade light grazing his head before piercing a heavy truck, slowly dragging out a pool of molten iron.
The Taoist priest on the other side was a bit luckier. The attack flying towards him was blocked by a car that rushed out, slowing him down by a second. He easily escaped the attack range with a few rolls.
Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Go!
The blaring of horns echoed all around, but within a breath, all these intelligently controlled tools fell silent, leaving only a few uncontrolled lights flickering intermittently on the street.
Lin Feng felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly got up. He watched as the strange blade retracted, and a group of dumbfounded passersby turned and mechanically walked outside.
This street... has been blocked by hackers!
Whoosh! A hovercar flew through the air, its blinding lights sweeping across the surroundings before disappearing from the top of the building.
Escape! How can I escape!
The phrase kept echoing in Lin Feng's mind. He kept his body low and dared not make any sudden movements.
The car they were riding in had been reduced to a pile of bright red fragments. The shirtless man slowly stood up from the middle, and with a powerful sweep of his hands, he quickly retrieved the flying blade.
Looking at the changes in the flesh and blood on the other person's arm, a word involuntarily popped into Lin Feng's mind.
Parasite!
There are also thermal blades implanted throughout the entire arm!
"Hehehe, a participant in the paranormal field, huh..."
The man tilted his head, the scorching blade light distorting the air beside him, seemingly enjoying the sensation. He swayed his head, turning the prosthetic eyes that had fused with the flesh and blood of the parasitic beast that had emerged from his face, locking onto the Taoist priest and the Red Spirit Ghost respectively.
"I'm so sorry..." A deep laugh echoed in Lin Feng's ears, then unfolded, word by word: "You guys are just too unlucky!"
Before the laughter subsided, Lin Feng was suddenly horrified. A rapidly moving sound rushed into his ears, and he was shot into a car by a bullet that seemed to have come from nowhere.
Sniper!
A bullet exploded and fell to the ground. Lin Feng's entire body was dented inside a car, his disguise on his face completely disintegrated, and his back looked like it was about to break.
Bang! A second gunshot rang out, and in the last moment before death, Hong Linggui grabbed his arm and threw him toward a shop on the side of the street.
On the other side, the Taoist priest who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead suddenly got up, found a dead corner in the street, and quickly hid.
"Oberon Biochemical Combat Suit: 70% damaged, attribute bonus -1".
Lin Feng gasped for breath, gritted his teeth, and rolled around again. A playful blade of light left a red-hot scratch on the spot where he had been just seconds before.
"Cough..." The intense exercise made the tearing sensation in his back more pronounced, slowly penetrating deeper into his bones and marrow, tormenting all his senses.
"Dark Curse (Stage 1 28%): A body that has adapted to the aura of darkness will have a certain chance to obtain the dark blessing of immortality, reducing all life characteristics by 55%."
"Unformed Curse of the Coprophagno: Varies depending on the number and type of curses absorbed. Currently absorbed curses: Blood Curse, Dark Blessing. Current effect: Curse Resistance +1, Spirit +1"
The heightened mental state amplified the pain flowing more clearly into his body. Pain, twisting, and the shattering of flesh and blood were vividly present in his mind. The increased mental strength granted by the curse amplified the suffering he was enduring, swallowing it whole, with no way to escape.
"Taoist priest...knock knock!"
Lin Feng pressed his head against his hand, spat out a mouthful of blood, and tapped the communicator by his ear with his fingers.
"Knock knock!" The Taoist priest's reply was a few breaths slow. He seemed to have been forgotten across the street, quietly peeking out with his eyes to look at where Lin Feng was.
"Hey, don't get excited. It's not that I don't want to save you, it's just that it's too sudden. But don't worry, after you die I will definitely play the complete scripture for your salvation once... yes, twice, and also the Ghost Lady."
"However, there are some things we need to clarify before we die. You were just unlucky; if that shot had been aimed at me..."
The Taoist priest continued speaking to himself, when Lin Feng's voice came through the earpiece: "The sniper is on the rooftop 300 meters to your left..."
It was a coordinate that was almost perfectly accurate, but the Taoist priest didn't have time to check it. Not far away, the arms of the parasitic beast participants stretched out on their own, opening up huge blades several meters long, turning into a terrifying meat grinder.
"Damn, what the hell is that?!" The Taoist's eyes widened, and the blade flying in the air suddenly accelerated, leaving afterimages as it shot towards Lin Feng's location inside the shop.
"Lying down..."
"groove...."
The Taoist priest was unfamiliar with this ability, but Lin Feng knew very well that once the other party displayed a bladed weapon, he had his answer.
Parasitic cells + prosthetic modification.
With absolute flesh-and-blood compatibility and worry-free technological implantation, the combat power of this world's technology will be fully unleashed in his hands, surpassing all of Arasaka's modification plans.
He could imagine that the other party's cybernetic modifications would not cost any points or involve any risks here; as long as they entered the cybernetic world, they could reap the greatest benefits.
As for the sniper, Hong Linggui only caught a glimpse of him.
"Whoosh!" Everything in the shop was swept up in the storm of blades, with sparks flying everywhere. Counters, clothes, and lights were all shredded until they reached him.
The art of terror!
A chilling aura lingered as the Red-Clad Demon extended a pair of claws radiating cold energy from one side. Its illusory body solidified in a short time as it pounced on the parasitic beast's outstretched arm.
With a creak, the storm of blades struck the wall, the fierce thrashing sounds echoing incessantly. Lin Feng took out the Kangtao Nanomedical Device and plunged it into his chest.
The dense array of nanomedical robots was forced into the body under pressure, and a cool sensation quickly spread throughout the body, swallowing up the excruciating pain in the bones.
Having recovered from his injuries, Lin Feng hurriedly peeked out to look at the Red Spirit Ghost outside, its claws swirling wildly.
The flickering ghostly figure darted through the shadows in front of the shop, its claws flying across the neck of an opposing participant, leaving a gaping wound. It then gripped the parasitic beast's flesh tightly on its arm, buying Lin Feng a moment to catch his breath.
Huh? Huh? Huh?
Lin Feng was dumbfounded. He was surprised to find that Hong Linggui was so good at close combat. In just a few moments, he understood. "One minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage." Hong Linggui's background in life was enough for her to launch a direct attack.
As the story unfolds, the parasitic participants are thrown off balance and, without the pressure of the whip blade, are repeatedly forced back by the Red Spirit.
Unfortunately, there were no suitable weapons available, so Lin Feng could only hope to give Hong Linggui a rocket launcher.
His thoughts raced, and he pulled out tNt from his ring. The Red Spirit Gui held a slight advantage for now, but it wouldn't last long.
Before he could put the tNt away, the hostile participant was enraged by the sudden attack from the Red Spirit. From the twitching flesh of the parasitic beast, terrifying monomolecular lines sprang out, connected to the familiar red energy.
The crackling electricity left afterimages in the air, and thin cuts were made on Hong Linggui's body before she crashed to the ground.
Just then, the Taoist priest across the street, who was about to turn around and make a quick getaway, stopped in his tracks: "Whatever, we just met by chance, let's part ways amicably, no matter what... you can't keep me here like this!"
He slammed the shop door shut behind him. The Ye Corporation had just sent a message via communicator: as soon as they left this street, someone would be waiting for them outside.
"Go ahead and shoot, but you still remember to remind me where the snipers are lying in ambush. If they really leave now, wouldn't that be a betrayal of my conscience?"
"No, no, I can't stand it! Even if you've tricked me today, I still have to go back!"
"That bastard dared to launch a sneak attack! I, Daoist Master, have never suffered such a loss before!!"
The Taoist priest rolled up his sleeves, cursing, and picked up the electronic peach wood sword. He immediately pulled out the electronic tortoise shell.
The inner trigram of the tortoise shell changed, and a burst of red energy erupted across the street. The rapidly expanding energy pierced through the body of the Red Spirit and slammed it into the cover in front of Lin Feng.
The next second, Lin Feng was exposed to the other party's view.
"Oh!"
The hostile participant sneered, crimson energy remnants pulsating between his flesh and blood. Eyes emitting the same energy current had been waiting for a long time. The moment they locked on, the drooping blade arm immediately transformed into a long whip with a spinning crimson mechanical spike, shooting towards Lin Feng's chest.
There's no way to avoid it; we can only tough it out!
Lin Feng tensed up, gripping the alchemical dagger tightly in front of him. He drew in streams of demonic power and poured them into the dagger, hoping that this weapon, which Louis had praised so highly, could withstand half of the remaining power!
call out!
The extreme collision of technology and magic did not last long for Lin Feng's surprise. The whip split open in front of him, bypassed the dagger, pierced his chest, and was pressed against the wall.
"Oberon Biochemical Combat Suit: 90% damaged, attribute bonuses disabled."
Lin Feng coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his combat uniform on his chest was completely torn apart. The only 10% that remained intact was the final structure of the uniform.
"That's it?" The parasite participant slowly walked over, a thin stream of red light flying out, ignoring the Red Ghost's terror spell, and slamming it back into the ground: "Black energy, ghost raising, technological combat suit, and this strange dagger... what a mess!"
Numerous tiny tentacles emerged from the parasitic whip blade, and metallic artificial nerves connected to the powerful parasitic bodies, forming this wing-like arm.
The machine shifted, and two tiny needles emerged, aiming at Lin Feng's neck, slowly approaching.
The red spirit was hindered by the pulsating red energy, and Lin Feng's eyes suddenly changed coldly as he subtly activated the escape tool in his ring.
Just at the critical moment, a gunshot rang out that echoed through the street, and then the Taoist priest, riding the waves, burst into the shop laughing: "The Heavenly Stems are divine, Jia Yin is indestructible, Heaven and Earth decree, all things turn to nothingness!"
In an instant, a golden entropy character appeared on the Taoist's outstretched palm, and a laser beam shot out towards the head of the parasitic beast participant.
"..." The parasite participant had no time to dodge; his slightly turned head was pierced by the laser, leaving a semi-circular gap.
Through the gap, layers of metal structure could be clearly seen. Half of a mechanical eyeball, vaporized by a laser, had fallen from the empty space and was immediately filled by the flesh and blood of the parasitic beast that had climbed up from the neck.
"All things vanish into nothingness!"
"All things vanish into nothingness!"
"All things vanish into nothingness!"
The Taoist priest stepped into thin air, fired lasers continuously from his hands, and moved closer to the object.
"Transform into emptiness, transform into emptiness, transform into emptiness...emptiness!"
Lin Feng stared blankly, but his hands moved swiftly. He sliced through the flesh of the parasitic beast embedded in his chest with his dagger, then rolled down and crawled back to where he had been.
Several circular gashes appeared on the bodies of the parasitic participants, and sparks flew from the mechanical skeletons inside their bodies.
"Disappear!!!"
With a final shout, the Taoist priest crossed his outstretched arms in the air as if to launch something, but then suddenly pulled out an entropy talisman from behind his fingers and shot it straight at the face of one of the parasitic beast participants.
Lin Feng felt a chill run down his spine as the golden laser beam grazed past his ear, leaving holes in the wall behind him.
"Walk!"
Lin Feng mouthed something to the Taoist priest, then quickly tapped the undamaged communicator in his ear and tossed the item in his hand to Hong Linggui, who had just stood up.
tNt? !
Excitement gleamed in the Taoist's eyes. He suppressed the urge to cough and gave chase.
At this moment, the parasitic beast participant, whose chest had been pierced by a bullet, shot out two tentacles from behind, abandoning all mechanical structures. But before he could catch up with the Taoist's back, Hong Linggui appeared in front of him holding something very familiar.
“tNt?”
Boom!!
