Uplifting Journey

not long ago

In the research building in the middle of the night, a person with an indistinct outline was slowly walking in a corridor illuminated only by dim moonlight.

Wearing a dynamic camouflage pattern, the human figure that is almost completely integrated into the environment, which is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, did not touch anything in the dim light.

After the invisible figure turned two corners, a burst of bright light came from the end of the corridor, where there was a half-open door, inside which was the only brightly lit place in this research building—a place occupied by the enemy. office laboratory.

"Is this right here?" The color of the body surface gradually changed to the silver-white of the outer door of the laboratory as we moved forward. Risut, who had a strange black sclera and red iris under the hood, leaned sideways at the door and slowly looked into the laboratory. go.

In the bright laboratory, there was only one young man in black leather walking around busy. This ordinary-looking person was Risut's assassination target on this trip.

As the captain of the assassination team organized by Passion, Risut has carried out countless assassination missions in the past. Calmness and prudence are his motto. No matter whether the target looks like a harmless child or a dying old man, he will regard it as a strong enemy Go all out.

But this time, he did not act under the order of the organization, but he spontaneously counterattacked after realizing that his team was eroded by invisible terror. The potential difficulty of this target far exceeds those he killed in the past— —

Not long ago, members of the assassination team, Proxiet and Meloni, escaped from the organization's sight under the cover of their companions, and went to track down a person related to the organization's BOSS.

The operation was ultimately fruitless, with the returning duo claiming to have failed to find any usable leads.

But Risut smelled an extremely dangerous aura from the two returning companions, and Proshut even used a double to wait for the opportunity to quietly leave behind a code that only the companions of the assassination team could understand, allowing Risut and the others to I learned that the bodies of these two people were controlled by strange forces.

But they found out too late - at the team gathering where the two returned, the enemy had already launched an invisible attack through the two.

It was a horrible germ that could be transmitted through physical contact or even through the air. The people in the same room at that time, except Risut, who was cautious by nature, kept a relatively long distance from everyone and relied on his stand-in "metal product" to destroy it. After eroding the cells, they fled decisively, and all the other team members fell.

Fortunately, the enemies who control the team members cannot control their spirits, nor can they observe the doubles, nor do they have the energy to monitor and pay attention to their movements 24 hours a day. This allows Risut, who is hiding in the dark, to be controlled The companions communicated indirectly through codes, and figured out the whole story and the face of the enemy.

Then came the assassination tonight.

"My stand-in 'metal product' can manipulate iron. As long as all the cells are destroyed by extracting the 'iron' in the dominant biological tissue, the ability of the target's cell-based bacteria will not work, but my ability will do. It takes a certain amount of time, and the furthest impact distance is only ten meters.”

Risut looked up at the ceiling of the laboratory - he couldn't use his ability on targets other than the perception of the five senses. The floor height of the laboratory is very high, but it is not ten meters high. If there is a specific partner to cooperate, he will You can launch a vertical attack on the upper or lower floor, so that both your own safety and the threat to the target will be greatly improved.

It's a pity that when facing a strong enemy, most of the time it is an assassination team of more than two people who act together, and there are no companions who can cooperate with him.

With a dark sigh, Risut concentrated his energy, and sneaked into the laboratory by gathering metal dust to create a cover. After standing still behind the metal vertical cabinet about eight meters away from the target, he cast his gaze through the gap in the instrument. On the target, Ding Shen activated his ability.

Just like all the targets he assassinated in the past, the young man couldn't resist his ability at all. In a blink of an eye, a large amount of "iron" inside his body was pulled away and condensed into sharp blades, which roamed wildly in his body and cut. The heart, brain and other major vital organs of the human body were smashed in the splashing blood.

Strike first, never procrastinate, is the creed of the assassination team, they don't talk nonsense like the villains on TV-before they say "kill you", they have already achieved it.

Although I don't know if killing the target directly can remove the target's control over the companion, but the extremely dangerous ability of the target can't be left behind by Risut. He remained hidden and approached a few steps, pushing the ability of the metal product to the limit .

Dull metal blades burst out of the body one after another, and with the sound of a large number of iron blades colliding and falling, the body of the target youth was completely torn into pieces, reaching the dominance of the elements at the molecular and atomic level, destroying all the cells and tissues of his body do.

Risut, who tried his best to use his stand-in ability, was dizzy for a moment. He held the metal counter and looked at the blurry thing on the ground in front of him covered by finely shattered iron blades. Flesh and Flesh heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that the other party hadn't made any changes——

His stand-in is not high in terms of pure output. In the past, assassinations often only required a move on the target's vital points. This time, the target was almost cut into pieces, and even the cells were completely destroyed. The energy consumption is really a bit high. If it weren't for the fact that the other party didn't know why a lot of metal foreign objects were embedded in his body, his ability might not be able to reach this level.

However, if the action is successful, you can try to contact your companions later to see if their control effects have been lifted.

However, just when Risut gathered his energy and was about to take a step back, he felt that his fingers touching the metal counter had touched something.

He suddenly turned his head to look, and saw a small metal ball the size of a thumb vibrating and whirling with a wonderful rhythm, and strangely wandered to the back of his hand sticking to the vertical metal plane.

Almost instinctively activated his stand-in ability, Risut bounced the weird metal ball far away, but the moment of contact before that had already transmitted a weird and violent whirling and concussive force to his arm superior.

In an instant, all the muscle fibers in Risut's right hand were guided by invisible fluctuations to tangle with each other. His arm was twisted into a spiral like the fabric in a washing machine. He felt that the flesh and bones of his arm were about to collapse. As soon as it sank, countless long iron worms with eyes, ears, mouths and noses emerged from his arms——

These tiny metal worms walking through the flesh and blood are the embodiment of his stand-in "metal products".

Risut, who used the substitute ability to act on his body, barely prevented the strange fluctuating power transmitted along the arm to the body, and suppressed the twisted injury of the arm-but this arm was severely injured and could only be driven by the substitute connection , there is no way to use it with force in a short time.

And just when Risut couldn't take care of himself, the bounced metal ball fell on the ground and twisted in an arc, burrowing into the flesh and blood covered by countless sharp blades.

The next moment, the flesh and blood that didn't even have complete cells and could only be said to be a pool of solid-liquid mixture twisted and trembled and "stand up", and gradually condensed the outline of the torso and limbs.

This blurred flesh and blood monster reluctantly took two steps back and forth, then slowly bent down and picked up a razor-like iron blade from the ground, it held the iron blade with two fingers and looked it up, then He turned his "head" in the direction of the vigilant Risut.

A noisy, low-pitched voice with heavy echoes came out from the monster, as if tuned, and the rapidly changing sound wave quickly became a human language that Risut could understand——

The monster asked him with a slight smile and a trace of curiosity: "Do you know the specific content of iron as a trace element in the human body?"
