Chapter 29 [Wings]
"stop!!!"
An angry roar came from afar.
A figure was seen leaping over rooftops at incredible speed, rushing towards them.
But clearly, he was a step too slow.
Xu Yuan glanced at him, recognized him, and then, after looking away, leaped onto the overpass beside him.
Take out the Kawasaki Ninja H2 that I recently bought.
The black paint job gives the car a powerful look, with smooth yet sharp lines that exude an aggressive feel.
It's like a fighter jet ready to take off at any moment.
Boom~ Boom~ Boom~~~
The 998cc inline four-cylinder engine emits a captivating roar.
Twist the accelerator and launch into the air.
The roar of the motorcycle instantly tore through the night!
I could faintly hear JM's angry roar behind me.
"Touka—!"
Immediately afterwards, Xu Yuan heard a loud bang from behind, as if something heavy had crashed onto the overpass.
"I'll kill you! I ...
"Damn it! I'm going to kill you!!!"
"Have they caught up?"
After glancing at the relentlessly pursuing Kakuja JM in the rearview mirror, Xu Yuan turned his gaze back and focused intently on the road ahead.
Amidst the roar of the air blast, the Kawasaki H2 continued to accelerate!
200, 250, 300, 350, 360...
High-speed trains generally travel at this speed.
We sped along at breakneck speed, the wind whipping around our ears!
The scenery on both sides flashed by in an instant!
The cars encountered along the way were easily left behind.
To Xu Yuan's surprise, he actually caught up with him and wasn't left behind.
Is Tier 2 really that powerful?!
This speed is equivalent to 100 meters per second.
In the rearview mirror, the figure could be seen leaping and running repeatedly...
Although the image was small, thanks to his extraordinary eyesight, Xu Yuan could still vaguely see it—
His body had almost lost its human form.
Especially the legs.
It became thin and long, like the legs of some kind of insect.
It gives people a strong sense of sharpness.
Compared to the surrounding streetlights, his legs must be at least two meters long.
Is this a change in form that specializes in running speed?
The dim moonlight and the yellowish lamplight intertwined.
JM's posture appeared terrifying and ferocious.
Its frenzied roaring and howling was filled with fantastical elements; it seemed less like a human and more like some kind of irrational monster.
If the system hadn't failed to warn of dimensional contamination, Xu Yuan would have suspected that he had mutated!
But he did not undergo any changes.
He simply changed his form.
According to the work's setting, this thing depends on individual imagination, but in reality, only a few people can freely change its form.
JM, who is the main character, is one of them.
Xu Yuan looked away from the rearview mirror.
He didn't actually have any ill intentions towards these fantastical creatures.
If possible, he would quite like to sit down and have a cup of coffee with the other person.
Unfortunately, the two sides have different positions.
They can only stand on the opposite side.
That's why he didn't blend in with them.
He could easily infiltrate the group, sabotage them behind their backs, incite them to fight each other, stab them in the back, and secretly profit from their misfortunes.
Anyway, they don't know he's going to eliminate them.
But he didn't do that.
He did so both because he disdained to do it and because he knew that many of them were positive figures.
He chose to stand squarely in opposition to them.
Xu Yuan doesn't consider himself a good person, but he doesn't consider himself a bad person either.
In fact, he didn't care much about these things.
He just felt that doing it this way was more to his liking.
The most important thing in life is to live a life that is fulfilling.
On the overpass late at night, the chase between a car and a person continued.
At this time of day, and in a relatively quiet area, there were few cars on the elevated road, but not none at all.
Occasionally, passengers and drivers would notice this scene and be immediately terrified.
The motorcycle is fine.
There are also reckless nighttime street racers.
But what the heck is that thing on the back of the motorcycle?!
Sizzle—! Bang!!!
Every now and then, there are the sounds of car tires screeching against the ground, and even the sounds of collisions.
If this happened at another time, the entire elevated highway would probably be in complete chaos; a chain-reaction accident would be an understatement.
Xu Yuan pushed the motorcycle to its maximum speed, the roar of the throttle echoing on the empty elevated road, the motorcycle speeding past like a bolt of lightning.
JM roared and chased after him relentlessly.
With his flesh and blood.
It was like a monster driven mad.
But clearly, in a stalemate, when it comes to endurance, the tireless machine ultimately prevails.
After a while, the two sides gradually increased the distance between them.
The black-painted Violent motorcycle eventually disappeared into the night.
The roar of the accelerator gradually faded away.
JM angrily pounded the road and roared to the sky.
His blood-red pupils shrank to a tiny size, trembling wildly, revealing a chilling killing intent!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!!!!!"
"Tsk tsk, how ugly."
Suddenly, a faint voice rang out.
The speaker was a woman.
She is extremely tall, about 1.8 meters.
Standing on the guardrail of the overpass, their composed demeanor exudes a sense of oppression.
Under the moonlight, she wore a shimmering silver military uniform, a white cloak, and carried a sheathless greatsword.
She was slender and slim.
Her hair was a beautiful golden wavy curl.
A faint smile graced that exquisitely beautiful face, almost like that of a doll.
She gazed at JM, a hint of curiosity in her silver eyes: "You're uglier than a demon."
She wasn't commenting on JM's character.
After all, she didn't know him.
She was simply commenting on how he is now.
Because she is a person who loves beauty.
Even when she was still human, she was very confident in her appearance.
Even when she transforms into a greatsword, her waterfall-like black hair turns into golden waves, and her jet-black eyes turn silver, she remains the same.
She almost never unleashed her demonic power.
Because unleashing demonic power will distort one's face and expression.
She believed that it would diminish her beauty.
Even so, she remains the strongest greatsword of all time, without exception.
Upon hearing her voice, JM turned to look at her.
His face was contorted in an extreme way, and his dark, blood-red eyes were filled with a terrifying killing intent.
Theresa smiled calmly and said, "I advise you to calm down; you are no match for me."
However, JM had lost his mind at this point, and his heart was filled with murderous intent, desperately needing an outlet.
He neither heard nor listened to Theresa's warnings.
After letting out a roar, it lunged at her.
But as soon as he made a move, a flash of sword light appeared, and he was cut in two.
Simple and straightforward.
It was as easy as chopping melons and cutting vegetables.
Clearly, the two sides are not even on the same level.
"Huh?! He's not dead?"
Theresa gripped the greatsword, somewhat surprised.
At this moment, JM's body, which had been cut in two, was writhing on the ground, trying to reassemble itself.
And he kept roaring.
"Kill! Kill ...
Out of curiosity, Theresa watched for a while.
"Huh? He's really not dead..."
"Like insects, so disgusting."
"Hmm? Its aura seems to have gotten stronger?"
"What is that? The regrown flesh seems different from before. A stronger kind of flesh has replaced the original flesh..."
"I see, the more injuries you take, the stronger you become?"
Theresa swung her sword and cut JM into several pieces.
"How about this? Can it be restored?"
"Huh? He's still alive? But that's disgusting."
"What an ugly creature."
"Wait, he seems to be dying..."
Just then, she suddenly turned her head to look into the distance.
She sensed the fluctuations of demonic power.
"Never mind, I'm leaving."
Theresa seemed to have had enough fun and sheathed her sword.
She could have easily killed this monster, who was even uglier than a demon, with a few more sword strikes.
But she was too lazy to do that.
Anyway, this guy isn't a demon.
She didn't care whether he would die or recover.
In her eyes, this guy was a little stronger than a demon.
But it's only slightly better.
"Sigh, I don't even know where we are now."
"Speaking of that guy who just left, there was a trace of demonic energy on him..."
"But he is human, not a demon."
"Has he ever been in contact with demons?"
"It seems there's more than one."
"This place is full of people, how did he find the hidden demon?"
"I'm a little... curious."
After Theresa left, the pieces of JM on the ground writhed for a while before gradually coming to a stop.
A while later.
Several police cars and motorcycles sped over and then braked to a stop.
"Chief Inspector! Something's up!"
The police officers in the car all ran out.
Then he stood there, frozen in place, his face filled with terror!
Flowing blood, the pungent smell of blood...
These elements, which in the past often involved major criminal cases, were all insignificant at this moment.
Because—what is this thing??
What appeared before them was the grotesque and twisted corpse of a monster.
It was cut into several pieces by someone, I don't know.
If pieced together, it would barely resemble a human form.
If something like this appeared in entertainment works such as novels, comics, or movies, no one would be surprised, but... this is reality!
How could such a thing exist in reality?
Everyone felt as if their worldview had been turned upside down.
"Ugh~~~"
Some people came to their senses and saw the monster's corpse cut into several pieces, along with its intestines and blood.
I immediately felt a churning in my stomach.
But many more people felt horrified and absurd, experiencing a sense of unreality.
Someone pinched themselves hard.
It hurts! This isn't a dream!
"Chief Inspector, what do we do now?"
One of the police officers asked hesitantly.
They were just called to chase a speeding motorcycle after receiving a 911 call.
As for the monster mentioned by the person who called the police, they believed it was just drunken ramblings.
Who would have thought it was actually true!
What should we do now?
Is this something they can handle?
The patrol chief's face darkened.
How would I know what to do?
Is this something I can handle?
I should have known better than to send out the call today!
Perhaps, while the younger officers were terrified, they might also have felt a hidden excitement deep down.
An excitement of encountering something new and exciting.
But he's long past that age.
To him, the thing in front of him, which had been chopped into several pieces, was a huge problem.
At this moment, several police officers secretly took out their mobile phones, wanting to take some photos.
The patrol chief's face darkened even more: "Put your phones away! If you don't want to get into trouble, you'd better pretend you saw nothing today!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions tightened.
In fact, some people disagreed.
They felt this was an opportunity to change their life trajectory and reach the pinnacle of life like the protagonist in the comic book.
However, Japanese society is strictly hierarchical.
Now that the patrol chief had spoken, they naturally couldn't take photos with their phones anymore.
"Put up the warning tape! Don't let anyone near here!"
The patrol chief took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and began to issue orders.
What was happening before their eyes was naturally a world-shattering event for these small fry.
But that may not be the case in the eyes of those at higher levels.
He felt it was impossible for the government to be completely unaware.
Therefore, reporting to your superiors is the right thing to do.
The problem is that, as witnesses, they don't know what will happen to them afterwards.
Perhaps our peaceful life will be gone forever.
"Chief Inspector, is that monster dead?"
"Nonsense! How could it survive being hacked to pieces like that?! Didn't you see it wasn't even moving?"
"Morita-kun is such a coward. This thing is obviously dead. Although it looks scary, it's just a corpse."
At this moment, a bold young police officer, out of curiosity, secretly reached out and touched the monster.
The next moment, something terrifying happened!
On the monster's "corpse," something resembling flesh and blood began to wriggle rapidly, covering the police officer's legs.
"ah--!"
The young police officer looked terrified, sat down on the ground, and crawled backward on his hands and feet.
But it was too late.
Screams erupted instantly from the crowd!
"Aaaaaaahh ...
"Help!"
"save……"
"Fire! Fire now!!!"
Gunshots rang out.
But soon, everything returned to calm.
On the deserted overpass, red police lights flashed incessantly.
The piercing alarm echoed through the deep night.
……
After finding a secluded spot without surveillance cameras, Xu Yuan put the motorcycle into his inventory.
Next, remove the marks from your body.
After taking a winding, circuitous route, I took a taxi back to the Paper Valley family home.
I took a shower and lay down in bed.
Xu Yuan put his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling.
The second tier is really strong.
The oppressive feeling of being relentlessly pursued by a monster whose strength far surpasses your own, a monster whose life hangs by a thread.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous at all.
Fortunately, she managed to shake him off in the end.
"Second-order one..."
After that scoundrel boss settles his score, when we encounter him again, we won't have to run for our lives like we did today.
Oh right, there was a box.
Silver Treasure Chest.
Bounty mission rewards are mostly in the form of points.
Only a small number of them contain treasure chests.
Those few are mostly male and female leads.
Since it was just a silver treasure chest, Xu Yuan didn't pay much attention and opened it casually.
You have obtained "Wings".
