Chapter 776: Misfortune 2

There was a clapping noise before the safe was opened. The black shadow took something out and retreated without looking back. The black shadows then leaped back out of the shattered glass window after a few somersaults. The entire process did not even last a minute. Their speed was terrifying!

“You dare leave?!” a white shadow flew inside with a strong gust of wind. It was actually a white Spider Mech that was more than five meters tall. A male voice echoed from the inside.

“I’ve been chasing you for half a month! Where are you going to run to now?!” the voice inside the Mech sounded somewhat exasperated.

“You want to catch me? Are you going to try?” the black figure sneered softly and did more than ten continuous backflips over the sloping wall of the skyscraper as if it was merely flat ground before jumping over the Spider Mech instantly.

Clap! He pressed something against the top of the Mech. However, the Spider Mech was completely unable to react in time. Both of their reaction speeds were on completely different levels.

There was a humming noise before the Spider Mech’s movements were obstructed at once, making it unable to move at all.

“Go!” the black figure jumped up in mid-air and spoke a few more sentences into his headset rapidly.

Numerous lasers formed red lines that extended past his body, barely missing him. They hit the walls of the skyscraper and left burn marks there instead.

Tch! Tch tch tch!!

The number of red lasers increased instantly when a group of white Spider Mechs appeared near the far end of the wall. All of them had eyes that were flickering with red light as the lasers shot from their direction.

The black figures flipped and flew outside while dodging and jumping between the lofty buildings constantly as if they were apes in a dense jungle. While the ten red lights continued to intersect with one another, the figures disappeared within the darkness between the buildings quickly.

Simultaneously, Spider Mechs that were chasing the black figures filled the entire Blackboard City at once. Those black figures escaped into the shadows quickly and disappeared without a trace.

****************************

Garen woke up from his dream suddenly.

There was a stretch of darkness before his eyes but it seemed as though something was moving slowly outside the window of his ward.

He twisted his head over determinedly before a pair of eyes appeared beside his pillow suddenly and glared at him intently.

“You could actually detect me?” the owner of the eyes spoke in a low voice.

Only then did Garen realize that the other person was merely pressed up closely against the window of the ward and had not actually entered. The pair of red eyes were huge and bright, making its female owner seem unusually close.

“Interesting…” the owner of the eyes was fully dressed in black clothes. She seemed to be moving slowly and passing through the ward. She had evaded so many people and even alarm devices but had never expected to be discovered by a regular patient here.

She hesitated for a moment. The whirring noise of an oncoming police car could be heard faintly from downstairs. The sound of the jets and engines of the Mechs could be heard as well, meaning that a large group was chasing them.

The window was pushed opened gently before the black figure slithered inside through the opening. She was initially just passing by this area and had not expected that a patient would notice her.

She dropped on the ground quietly and moved her arm backward to close the window. The black figure was now standing in front of Garen’s sickbed.

“This means something. You could actually detect my movements…” she glanced at the sign at the front of his bed. “Your nerves sustained serious damages, huh?”

“Who is this person?” Garen lay on his bed without a trace of panic and merely stared at the other person silently.

This person was dressed in tight black clothes that resembled fish skin. He could vaguely see that she was a girl as she had a curvy figure. Her waist was slim and her legs were slender but he could not see her hair as it was wrapped with something. Her face was also completely covered with a black veil.

“What are you looking at?!”

Bang!!

Garen felt a painful sensation in his head suddenly. The girl had lifted him in one go before she’d flung him on the ground violently, his head crashing against the hard floor with a dull thud.

This woman’s behavior had changed drastically and she was now stepping on Garen’s body with one foot furiously.

“Perverted little devil! Looks like I’ll have to dig out both of your eyeballs!”

Two black needles shot out of the fingertips of her right hand before stabbing downwards directly when they were accurately positioned at Garen’s eyes.

“This woman!!” Garen’s head was burning with fury. How dare she dig his eyeballs out for no reason?! He spat suddenly.

There was a hissing noise when a mouthful of his spit shot out like an almost silent arrow that flew towards the woman’s right eye directly.

“Do you want to die?!” the woman was able to dodge his saliva but her gaze had turned fearsome.

However, her black needles had tilted slightly when she tried to evade Garen’s spit. They scratched his face and formed two deep bloody wounds there.

There were not normal needles as their edges were actually as sharp as blades instead!

She stomped one foot against Garen’s waist furiously before the woman leaped upwards and took a few steps backward suddenly.

She turned her head and glanced at the ceiling and noticed that the saliva had formed a tiny depression there. Although the ceiling was wooden, it was clear that the strength that was used to shoot the saliva would have caused terrible injuries if it had hit her eyeball instead.

“I never expected that I would encounter strange things just by entering a sick ward,” the woman circled Garen carefully and investigated him for a moment. She only approached him again when she was certain that he did not have any more tricks up his sleeves.

She elbowed Garen’s lower abdomen violently. The hit caused his body to curl up suddenly while his face turned pale.

Next, she used her foot to step on Garen’s neck, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

“Move again!” the woman spat angrily. “Move!”

There was a banging noise when she kicked Garen’s chest brutally. A cracking sound could be heard after that when his breastbone broke.

Garen became even more furious. If it was not for his inability to move, he would have destroyed this woman with one slap at once.

Bang!

There was another dull thud when she used her foot to step on Garen’s abdomen violently.

The sound of the alarm below them rang louder and it was obvious that the search team was approaching.

Tch!

A red laser shot in from the window suddenly, leaving a black burn mark precisely on the woman’s shoulder.

“Damn!” The woman groaned in pain. The black needles on her fingers were pointed downwards and about to stab Garen’s eyes violently. However, she had accidentally made eye contact with him.

His eyes resembled whirlpools and were as dark and blue as the sea. They possessed a faint but strange form of attraction.

“I will find you.”

The woman could read the meaning behind his eyes and felt a frightened tremble in her mind suddenly.

Tch tch tch!!

Three red lasers intertwined to form a net that was flying towards her suddenly.

Without much time to react, she could only leap upwards suddenly and bounce off the wall like a lizard before crashing out of the window.

The crashing noise of broken glass could be heard before the black figure disappeared into thin air.

The noises from the chase drifted further away quickly.

Garen lay on the floor. His body was covered in blue and black bruises while his eyes were filled with obvious exhaustion.

Cough cough cough…

He started to cough.

“If one of my Soul Seeds were destroyed because of you, you’re as good as dead!!” Garen glared in the direction where the woman had left.

If he had not used the Fantasy Fist to distract the woman with his gaze at the final key moment, the alternate ending would have been extremely dangerous.

“I’ve already sustained such serious injuries despite having just arrived in this world. What a good beginning.” Garen’s gaze became even more profound.

He had engraved that woman’s eyes into his memory. Someone who dared to almost destroy one of his Soul Seeds would surely be repaid at the right time.

Outside the sick ward, the sound of footsteps could finally be heard. The door of the ward was opened before the security guards rushed in with the nurses.

“A patient has been injured! Prepare a full body checkup immediately!”

The doctor in the hospital room yelled loudly.

********************

In the darkness of the night

On the outskirts of Blackboard City

Multiple black figures leaped and passed through the dark quickly. Their bodies would distort and become invisible occasionally. It seemed as though they were disappearing in mid-air before reappearing again after a while.

There were at least ten black figures. Soon, all of them had gathered inside an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Blackboard City.

The interior of the factory was completely silent except for the cricket chirps that could be heard occasionally.

About ten black figures had gathered here and had now formed a circle.

“Is everyone alright?” asked one of the black figures softly.

“This test was too simple. I could get the information easily. It was completely pointless,” said a female black figure flippantly.

“Goldfish got injured though. Did everyone else see? Goldfish actually got hurt during a battle chase of this degree.” a different woman could not help but laugh loudly as if she had seen something extremely funny.

The woman called ‘Goldfish’ stood among her team but remained silent. However, her red eyes grew colder.

“I encountered an unusual accident…”

“If you’re inadequate just say so. An accident? Find a better excuse,” sneered the woman who was laughing loudly earlier.

“Fifteen points will be deducted from Goldfish’s task. Any other problems?” asked the leading black figure unquestionably.

“No…” Goldfish ground her teeth faintly.

“Hey~~ Are you unhappy?” asked someone cynically.

“If your genes were discovered by a human team because of the blood that you left behind during a real mission, we would be forced to abandon you when the time comes,” said the leading black figure indifferently. “You must understand. Punishment of this degree is only done so that you will be able to gain a deeper understanding of your future.”

“I understand.” Goldfish lowered her head and tightened her fist furiously.

“Alright, this operation is dismissed. I will solve this incident with Goldfish separately through the higher-ups. Give me all of the mission items.”

All of the black figures passed the items in their hands over to him.

*****************

The surgery began earlier than planned.

Garen lay face up on the operating table. The effects of the drugs from the anesthetic injection were appearing quickly.

His mind began to turn fatigued gradually. He looked at the blindingly bright operating light above him before drifting into deep slumber.

Yesterday’s accident resulted in even more troublesome injuries throughout his body that could only be resolved with this operation.

An unknown amount of time passed. It could have been an hour or even two.

Garen awakened slowly and felt numerous tearing pains throughout his entire body. The most obvious pains came from his chest and abdomen while other discomforts could be felt throughout his whole body.

“This is a side effect from the extremely tiny robots that was placed inside your body during the surgery. The presence of pain means that your nerve restoration was successful so you’ll have to endure it.”

A low male voice echoed from his bedside.

“I understand.”

Garen nodded slightly before reacting immediately. He could nod and even speak again!

“Looks like the effects have been extremely good. You just need to let your nerves heal their wounds. You’ll need to recuperate for a period of time,” the one who was speaking was a male doctor. He asked Garen about his various sensations for a while before carefully informing him about the things that he needed to pay attention to. Beside him, his parents and younger siblings noted everything down carefully and thanked the doctor continuously.

Aier and Mina were also by his bedside. It seemed as if they had been waiting outside the operating theatre as well.

“You have such good luck. To think that you would be able to survive safely after encountering death,” Mina shook her head in astonishment.

“What ‘good luck’? This just means that I have great skills,” Garen was in a good mood and could even joke with Mina now.

“I need to tell you something later,” Mina nodded.
