Chapter 492 Chapter 489 Face-to-Face Questioning
When the "lurker" waved his weapon, Zhuang Xuteng had already released the shadow, letting it swell into a black balloon, covering his head and face and wrapping up the enemy. At the same time, he left the rail car with a quick little jump, and the ghost servant controlled the heartbeat and other sounds to hide in the artificial shadow formed by the shadow.
The lurker broke through the darkness. The shadow was very fragile in its physical state, thinner than paper, and it would break at the touch. He only felt a trance in front of his eyes, and then he could no longer see the position of the scarecrow Nike, which made it difficult for him to use his martial arts. At this time, he was already riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off. He could only continue to increase the chips, including using more active detection methods, and strive to find the opponent as soon as possible, before he could take the next step.
The most feared by the plotter was being plotted against by others, and it was impossible for him not to be nervous at this time. Just as he activated the infrared and low-light vision enhancement of the implanted eyes, a figure suddenly appeared in the shadow beside the rail car. Zhuang Xuteng swung the armor-breaking hammer and went straight for the lurker's head, without mercy.
The Lurker was a mercenary with some reputation. He reacted in time and was not successfully attacked by Zhuang Xuteng. Although he dodged the armor-piercing hammer, the Lurker knew that he was at a disadvantage in the lurking competition. His carefully prepared lurking was seen through and failed, but the hiding effect created by the opponent in an instant could deceive his senses. Scarecrow Nike, would his name be taken from "movement as light as a straw falling to the ground"?
"No matter what, I must cut off your straw today!"
The actual fight only took a moment, and the Lurker was sweating profusely. He found that his melee skills, which he had always been proud of, were no match for Nike. He found that he was facing an extremely cunning, flexible and calm opponent, with extremely efficient movements, no need for all kinds of fancy moves, and always able to threaten his most uncomfortable parts. Fighting with Nike, if you take the initiative to attack, you will be hit by the flaws exposed in your movements, and if you defend with all your strength, you will have to face the powerful hammer.
He had no doubt that the hammer could break his arm directly, even with the protective arm shield and armored skin on it. This conjecture was verified when he used the weapon in his hand to block: his fine steel chisel could not withstand the impact of the collision and bent directly. Obviously, if it was his arm, it would be broken immediately.
It seems that the best way to fight is to escape? What's the reason? When he had this idea in his mind, it would inevitably affect the action of the battle. The hesitation at that moment was immediately caught by Zhuang Xuteng, and the price was that his chin was shot by the bone spear technique, and the ghost energy bullet flew out from the back of his head and took his life.
"Hukakaka!" The skeletons in the horror house laughed periodically according to the setting, as if laughing at the lurking killer's presumption. An empty rail car slowly drove from behind and was about to run over the body, so Zhuang Xuteng pulled the body away. He raised his head, as if he saw the surveillance camera of the horror house for the first time, shook his head first, then took out his mobile phone and started dialing.
This surveillance camera could have transmitted the battle process, but a black shadow covered it during the battle, so Lazio and "Skull Dragon" could only see darkness. Only after the battle ended and Zhuang Xuteng withdrew the shadow did they know that someone on their side had died. "The monitoring system self-checked normally. He definitely did not use technical means to invade the system. He might have just used something to cover it." Skull Dragon reported to Lazio and said, "He is using a communication line with an encrypted protocol. Judging from this configuration, he should be a mercenary. Boss, you really didn't give the order to attack, did you?"
"Of course not! He just took the track car of the horror house and didn't break in. Why would I kill him?"
"No, he tried to come in, and you just gave the order to defend, but you didn't expect this person to be so cruel and directly kill the security guard." Skull Dragon said, "You are now I can only bite the bullet and say this, and quickly call back the double-blade man. I have no confidence in facing this guy. "
"Even if he kills the shadow ninja, can he still find our base? Humph, we hid the door... It seems that we didn't hide it well enough, and he found it. But he was able to avoid the sneak attack of the shadow ninja, and his eyes must be sharp enough, so it is understandable." Lazio pinched his nose and said stubbornly: "Without the password and key, he can't open the lock! Wait, how did he open the door so quickly? "
All non-airtight doors that can be opened from the inside by pressing a button are useless to Zhuang Xuteng. The shadow came through the gap, swelled up, and then used all its strength to press the button, and Zhuang Xuteng walked in. He put away the phone, waved to the surveillance camera, and then gestured in sign language.
"What did he say... let me see... he wants to come see me and ask me for compensation?" Lazio was so angry that he laughed and said, "So arrogant, too arrogant, do you think you are a Famine Stranger? Skull Dragon, you get ready. He must be left here today!"
"Are you sure? Assuming he is Naike, once he disappears here, Lucy will definitely mobilize all forces to find him. And his comrade-in-arms Ge Gongdao currently has a high voice in the moat company, I am afraid it will also bring countless troubles."
"You think too simply. If he is allowed to walk out intact today and the news that Shadow Ninja is dead is publicized, everyone will know whether I still have defense here as long as they catch the location of the double-bladed man! At this point, there is no place for us to stand in Peicheng, and don't think about making a comeback. Use this guy's death to form a deterrent, buy two days, and we will leave here."
"..." The Skull Dragon was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, at least you have finally made a decision. Comfort him in the office, and I will prepare to make sure that I can directly burn his brain."
After Zhuang Xuteng called Lucy to explain the situation, he was led by Lazio's men through the long and narrow underground passage and zigzagged to the office. The heavy metal door closed behind him, leaving only Lazio in the room. Zhuang Xuteng sat at his desk carelessly, took out the moisturizing cigar box, pulled out a thick short cigar from it, took out a dagger and cut the tail, and then He inserted the dagger on the table with a clang.
"I came to your amusement park to make up for my childhood. Why did you let people kill me? I was very happy originally, but now I have a bloody childhood shadow. What do you want to do?" Zhuang Xuteng used a long match twice to start. After toasting and igniting, the cigar smoke begins to drift around the room. He didn't taste it immediately, he just held it in his hand and moved it slowly back and forth in front of him. "It made me so angry that I lost my manners. I am Nike and I know you are Lazio."
"Scarecrow Naike, I have admired you for a long time. I have been looking for opportunities to cooperate with you."
"Stop talking about it. I have only had a little more time to join the industry? I have admired you for a long time... and there will be no one like me after a little while. In addition, I know that you are in a bad situation now. You have lost a lot of your subordinates and cannot start war work. Stop pretending, I came to your playground to play just because you have no job for me and there is no suspicion." Zhuang Xuteng frowned slightly and said, "Do you think that if you kill me, you will have a chance to expose me. Is the West launching a middleman war?”
"I definitely don't have that idea. Today's incident was entirely the result of the shadow ninja's own initiative! He has already paid the price with his life, and you can take away the spoils. This incident just happened to happen at my door and was not directed by me. You have to make a calm decision!"
"I'm calm now, and I'm still trying to reason with you. I didn't monitor your communications, and indeed I didn't catch you giving orders to that shadow ninja. But this is an amusement park run by you. After I paid the money, I took the ride in the stipulated "
"Strictly speaking, this amusement park really doesn't belong to me."
Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said: "Okay! Are you being a swindler? This is not yours, so I didn't enter your territory, so what happened can't be called a middleman's war? Your place was renovated, right? Look at that round shape Big metal door, this must have been a bank vault, right? "
I don’t know why Naike suddenly changed the topic to this aspect, but Lazio wanted to delay the time, so he said along the way: "It's not a bank's vault, but the depository of a medium-sized gang. After I kill them, I will Use the old facilities and turn them into your own offices.”
"Okay, I didn't know you had killed gangs before!"
"Easy to say, easy to say, it happened a long time ago, not worth mentioning." Lazio shook his head and said in a sad tone: "Times have changed, and the former glory has become a wasteland. When the playground was first built, I really I am very high-spirited and feel that I can still be considered a figure in Peicheng. But now, the amusement park is losing money and I can no longer afford it, so I can only sell it at a price. I just still occupy the land and have nowhere to go. Lonely soul. I am already in such a state of despair, how dare I bring trouble to you?"
"The amusement park is no longer making money?" Zhuang Xuteng faintly sensed that something was not right in the atmosphere, and there was a slight change in Yingcong's energy. While he was alert and prepared, he pretended not to notice and acted for Lazio. "Why are you suddenly not making money? There are fewer people in winter. Is this just a matter of seasonal cycles?"
"Entertainment projects have begun to lose their appeal, and Peicheng has a better entertainment method: Safety Blue. From now on, everyone will no longer use the amusement park, and they don't even need to go out. Buy a goggle that can be used to watch TV, and then use Safety Blue. That’s really where people can enjoy the show.”
"Huh? There is such a product, and I have seen advertisements for it!"
"Do you get all your knowledge from advertising?" Lazio snorted proudly and said: "Lucy's biggest problem is that she does not accept the company's commission. This will make her miss many important technological advances and fall behind step by step. In this era. Let me open your eyes and let you know about the latest technology products, which I obtained in my previous mission."
After he said that, he was about to open the safe next to the boss's desk, but at this time, Zhuang Xuteng had already seen the gathering and changes of shadow energy through the eyes of shadow. Based on the energy signal analysis, Zhuang Xuteng believed that the entire office was like a shadow slave device, and its effect was probably detrimental to him. Lucy had warned him to be wary of Lazio's intelligence officers, so he stopped acting and activated the Eye of Caho's within-sight neural implant shock wave.
It takes a few seconds from energy storage to activation. At this time, Lazio had just opened the safe and was about to take out a helmet with an eye patch from inside. Judging from his movements, he was probably preparing to cover his head with that thing, but at this time he could no longer hide the evil smile on his lips.
The shock wave spread out with Zhuang Xuteng as the center. All shadow equipment, especially the high-end shadow chips, suffered a heavy blow. The shadow energy that originally surrounded the entire room immediately faded away. Lazio rolled his eyes suddenly, sparks and black smoke came out of his ears, and then he vomited blood and fell backwards, falling heavily to the ground.
Zhuang Xuteng immediately turned over the desk and reached out to feel his breath, which was already very weak. "What kind of implant was installed that would explode in the brain? Hiss... Both cochleas in both ears have been replaced, and there is also a shadow chip, which looks like a personal shadow assistant based on hearing enhancement and with signal receiving and sending functions. Good things are good things, but it is both a high-level implant and a high-level shadow chip, double identity, double damage - highlighting the word miserable."
Lazio probably won't survive, but Zhuang Xuteng doesn't need him to die, because Lucy has explained. He picked up the phone and tried it. The base station outside should have been paralyzed by himself and is currently unusable. It seems that he can only wait for a while. During this time, Zhuang Xuteng first stripped Lazio naked, then tied his hands and feet and dragged him to the corridor outside the house.
After all the shadow devices were paralyzed, all the doors were actually mechanical locks, which was easy for Zhuang Xuteng to deal with. Although he was forced to take a detour when he came here, this just provided Zhuang Xuteng with an opportunity for a comprehensive investigation. According to the information provided by the Wraith Jelly and the Eye of Shadow, Zhuang Xuteng went straight to the location where the energy reaction of the shadow was most concentrated before, which was most likely where the intelligence officer Lazio was.
The shock wave would only paralyze the intelligence officer's ability, not kill him, which had been verified in Meteor and the Nightingale Rock Sparrow sisters. Although Lazio was dying, he was not dead yet, so this rule was not broken. On the way to the intelligence officer's room, several of Lazio's men wanted to stop Zhuang Xuteng. Unfortunately, they didn't even have implants or shadow equipment that could be favored by the Eye of Kaho, so how could they fight Zhuang Xuteng?
Zhuang Xuteng didn't dare to waste time to find the intelligence officer and solve the hidden dangers before he recovered. He only issued a warning to the blocker once, and those who didn't listen to his advice would never need to listen to his advice in this life. Counting from leaving Lazio's office, about a minute later, Zhuang Xuteng had arrived at the door of the room. He let go of his hand, threw the bloody and dragged Lazio to the ground, and then began to attack the door with an armor-piercing hammer.
The intelligence officer who was best at using shadow equipment and information technology installed a pure steel door, using only the power of materials science, structural science and simple physics to protect himself. He might think that people who could threaten him must have a high level of information technology, and the shadow lock was a joke in comparison. If you want to be safe, it is better to trust the thick steel bolts and winch door locks.
It was actually an airtight door, and the shadow couldn't go directly through, so he opened a way for it first. Zhuang Xuteng knocked on the door, felt the support points behind the door through vibration feedback, and thus depicted its approximate structure. Then he let the driving assistance suit implant accumulate power, concentrated it on his arm, and suddenly burst out, driving the armor-piercing hammer to attack the structural weak points near the seam of the door.
"Boom..." The dull loud noise echoed in the underground space, and everyone felt a heart and lung shake. The cranial dragon lying in the room still couldn't move his body, and couldn't even focus his eyes. He only had a shaky, blurry vision. When the third dull noise occurred, he seemed to see a gap appear at the door, and a dark shadow came in, swaying and turning into a human shape.
