Chapter 500: 0500: Headshot (Extra 5400, asking for monthly pass)
Wang Chaoqun and Zi arrived in front of Cheng Feng: “The plan has changed!”
“What’s going on?”
Cheng Feng’s face was filled with confusion.
He was just about to cooperate with Sky Net to give the Ancient God’s Eye a hard hit.
“The meaning is very clear, we’re abandoning the previous plan. We have more support!” said Zi, her hand against the office desk, “You just need to do one thing: lure him out. Sky Net will take care of the rest!”
Wang Chaoqun was cringing on the side.
Could he tell that the previous plan was a crude version concocted by Zi and himself?
But now it’s different, since Parcy has chosen to court disaster, we’ll send him off to his death!
“What’s really going on?” Cheng Feng was getting impatient.
“Have you been watching the news? That mysterious spontaneous human combustion case?” Zi asked irritably.
“That fat guy? How horrific…” Cheng Feng nodded, still shaken.
“It wasn’t spontaneous combustion, it was intentional harm!” Zi condemned it with one sentence: “The perpetrator is the ‘Fire Mage’ Parcy! We only have one target this time… capture him!”
“Really? Then why don’t they take action to arrest him?” Cheng Feng pointed out his doubt.
“Prosecuting this kind of case is complicated… and after being admitted into a private club by local members, we lost track of Parcy…”
Wang Chaoqun didn’t hide anything from his colleagues: “But you know… He’s here for you, he’ll definitely show up.”
“Great… I feel even more endangered now.” Cheng Feng forced a smile.
“Don’t worry, we will be with you 24/7 to provide protection services… In addition, there will be a lot of armed backup, and senior Sky Net members from nearby provinces and cities may also come to help depending on the situation…”
Zi waved her hand: “In short, Parcy must not leave here alive.”
“All right, I’ll cooperate.”
As if he could feel Zi’s determination, Cheng Feng replied solemnly: “By the way… my daily routine is very simple… I’ll have my secretary liaise with you now.”
“Boss Cheng!”
Just as he was speaking, a professionally dressed, sophisticated woman walked over.
“Hmm, you should coordinate my security matters with these two.”
Cheng Feng waved his hand casually, then his expression suddenly changed. He took a quick few steps backward.
After dashing away, without thinking, he spun around and ran at least ten meters away, calling out, “There’s something off about her!”
“Hmm!?”
The secretary was taken aback, adjusting her glasses.
Suddenly, two fist-sized flames hovered in front of her, one on each side. They rushed towards Zi and Wang Chaoqun and exploded with a loud bang.
The power of the explosion was similar to a hand grenade, leaving two black pits on the ground.
The people in the not-so-distant venue were stunned.
Their eardrums were ringing from the explosion, their minds numb. They hadn’t expected to witness such a scene from a blockbuster movie in real life and had become frozen in shock.
Only after a while did chaos ensue, with some people climbing out of the venue in a panic, while others were hastily dialing phone numbers.
“Big sister?”
Wang Chaoqun crawled out of the smoky rubble, brushing off the dust on his body. He was a bit disheveled, but otherwise unharmed.
Zi, a telepath, was not as fortunate. She was wounded all over, her clothes torn into ribbons and blood flowing freely.
“I’m fine… Are you Parcy?”
She stared at the female secretary intently.
“What a pity…” The secretary shook her head. A layer of flame burned from her head down, like a makeup removal process, changing her from a woman to a blond-haired, blue-eyed man. He was looking in the direction of Cheng Feng, “How did you find out?”
“It’s simple, my secretary uses a mixture of two perfumes, but you only sprayed one!”
Cheng Feng stared at Parcy in astonishment, “You can transform? That’s quite a powerful ability…”
Being under constant surveillance in modern society is no joke, but this body-shifting trick, capable of male-to-female transformations, is the bane of all surveillance systems!
“It seems she was your lover… What a pity…”
Parcy shook his head, “But it doesn’t matter, it’s only a minor inconvenience.”
“You really are a madman!” Cheng Feng cursed, “You can’t stop killing. You just burned that fat guy this morning, and now you’re trying to assassinate me this afternoon.”
“I’m just used to saving the best for last…” Parcy took a step forward, “After all… You are my first target for this operation!”
Apparently, in his heart, the local Sky Net was the real target, Cheng Feng was just an appetizer.
“You’re a murderer, acting without any fear of consequences…”
Zi’s expression cooled, and a number of small needles materialized around her, “Scum like you should not be allowed to live in this world.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As soon as she finished speaking, multiple needles were fired.
“Iron Body Skill, Iron Sand Palm!”
Wang Chaoqun took a deep breath, his skin turning bluish-black. He looked as if he had grown a whole size bigger, standing in front of Zi.
‘Damn… Why doesn’t he protect me? I’m the one who needs protection!’
Cheng Feng cursed silently, could only infuse his legs with his Inner Strength and fled.
Pop! Pop!
On another side, the flying needles moved at alarming speed, curved mid-flight, and hit Parcy’s figure—only it was a semi-transparent afterimage.
A burst of flame exploded behind Parcy, propelling him to chase after Cheng Feng at an explosive speed.
‘Damn it… This dude is crazy. I will die if I turn back!’
Cheng Feng circled back to Zi.
As he saw Zi’s figure, he noticed a look of shock on her face.
Behind him, an intense heat wave approached.
“Watch out!”
Wang Chaoqun performed the Eight-step Cicada Catching technique. He left several clear footprints on the floor and arrived behind Cheng Feng, facing the oncoming Fire Man Parcy.
Bang!
A ball of fire exploded, the powerful impact threw Cheng Feng as if he was hit straight on by a train, and he rolled a great distance.
“Do you see? This is the gap in strength…”
In the middle of the rubble, Parcy, with a ball of flame burning brightly in his hand, had an air of a villain, “The great Ancient God is guiding us forward, yet you people are still stuck at the most basic stage… As fellow New Men, I’m ashamed for you!”
Actually, Zi and Wang Chaoqun have also met the criteria for promotion.
But the Curse of the Ancient God incident still left the Transcendent uneasy. They chose to follow Sky Net’s arrangement on this matter and wait to see the experiment results.
But the Ancient God’s Eye members were a bunch of lunatics who proceeded straight to the next rank, causing a devastating difference in Professional Rank, and now it was too late to regret.
“Parcy, I admit you’re very powerful, but we at Sky Net have never been alone!”
Zi stared at Parcy, grabbing her collar, “Act!”
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
Parcy’s head exploded like a watermelon.
