Apocalypse Forecast

Chapter 905: Chapter 724: Twice the Excitement

Did they really think they could knock me out with just a little anesthetic?

What a joke.

Even if the dose were doubled, it would just make him blow a snot bubble at most. To make him fall into a deep sleep, only Guo ShouQue’s cold-brewed black tea could do the trick.

After Lihua slipped into the night, the drowsy Huai Shi on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, looking grave and serious.

It’s not a coincidence, Tobio Lihua knows his identity!

She even used him, slipping away from everyone’s sight, secretly investigating some confidential matters at the Arakawa Family.

Special Investigator, female, infiltrate, investigate, Extreme Path Headquarters...

His expression gradually grew heavier.

Amidst the excited cries of the Ravens, he felt—something about this plot didn’t add up?

But encountering such an incident, how could he not follow up to take a look?

Only, it might not need him personally...

Huai Shi closed his eyes. Under the Astronomical Society’s blockade and disguise, the Soloist’s Stigma silently operated, the Buried Sacred Place slowly opened a slit, and a slender arm extended from it to press the light switch in the room.

The lights went out.

Soon after, a graceful figure emerged from the darkness.

The double, Huai Zhisu, was online once more.

Huai Shi looked down, examining this stark naked body, snapped his fingers, and the darkness rolled like thick mist, covering it, transforming into a piece of nightwear.

Purely in terms of performance, this complete double possessed the ability of Source Materialization, capable of hiding in the shadows, making it more convenient than Huai Shi’s original body, absolutely an excellent means for tracking and infiltration.

Great, now there were two female spies on the infiltration mission!

Making it twice as exciting!

The Huai Shi on the bed closed his eyes while Huai Zhisu’s eyes gradually came alive, tracing the scent in the wind, slipping into the darkness outside the window.

He had to see what this Tobio Lihua was up to!

.

Passing all the way through, silent and soundless.

After Huai Zhisu’s body Source Materialized, he completely dissolved into the shadows, proceeding unimpeded along the way.

Even under the lights.

From the closest distance, watching a captivating infiltration performance.

The inner courtyard defense of the Arakawa Family was extremely strict. Besides the loyal subordinates, there were also more than four Sublimators secretly patrolling and guarding. The surveillance covered every dead angle.

More importantly, the entire inner courtyard, especially around Arakawa’s office and treasury, was covered with two or more layers of Mystic Ritual defense.

The complex effects of which Huai Shi couldn’t identify one by one, but most importantly, they were meant for warning.

Once someone without identification entered or exited, or an unrecorded Source Substance reaction appeared, the alarms would blare loudly.

Yet, Tobio Lihua strolled freely.

Holding an eyeball-shaped candle in her hand, under its illumination, all traps and alarms were nullified, while Huai Zhisu hid within her elongated shadow.

Step by step, gradually delving deeper.

It was as if Arakawa personally explained to her all the defenses and protections here, leading to Tobio Lihua moving unhindered along the way.

She wandered through various places, almost sweeping through the entire inner courtyard of the Arakawa Family, the complex underground passages, and several large unknown purpose underground plazas.

Appeared to be searching for something, moving swiftly, having no interest in irrelevant items.

Finally arriving at the most secure vault.

The most meticulously guarded spot within the Arakawa Family.

At the entrance, an old man leaned against the wall, seeming to be asleep, yet the ancient Long Spear he held constantly emitted a chilling killing intent.

Anything daring to intrude within this range, even insects and dust, were silently sliced in half.

Tobio Lihua paused, stopping outside the guard’s sensing range. The light from the eyeball-shaped candle in her hand soared, its burning rate rapidly increased, while the glow contracted, barely enveloping her.

Hiding in this narrow shelter, she hunched, taking each step into the range shrouded by the Long Spear’s killing intent.

Without any sound whatsoever.

Not even the slightest sound from her feet rising and falling.

As she brushed past the old man...

But how could Huai Shi let that happen?

No matter what this woman intended to do, Huai Shi wanted to mess with her—after all, sneaking around to drug a young genius like himself and then sneaking into someone else’s backyard so late at night...

She certainly wasn’t up to anything good!

As a dedicated Astronomical Club Officer committed to protecting the Current Circumstances, Huai Shi surely needed to help her recognize her mistakes and turn back from the wrong path as soon as possible.

He couldn’t let her make more mistakes...

Thus, from the shadow at Tobio Lihua’s feet, within the shadow, Huai Zhisu quietly extended a finger, flexed it, then flicked!

Snap!

In the silence, a soft crack sounded suddenly.

The sleeping elder abruptly opened his eyes, the ancient Long Spear in his arms quivered, about to let out a low hum.

But then, he saw a hand suddenly appear out of thin air in front of him.

In the palm was a small mirror, which reflected his aging eyes.

A dim light silently flashed through his eyes, and then, he froze in place, lost and bewildered, completely forgetting where he was.

Meanwhile, Tobio Lihua swiftly retracted the mirror, lowered her head and stroked the surface, showing a hint of regret and pain, wasting no time as she leaned against the door, quickly starting to crack the warehouse door’s password.

Soon, with a soft click, her figure disappeared behind the door, taking Huai Shi with her.

In the spacious warehouse, there were no more surveillance cameras.

Probably a consideration made during the initial design—if an opponent could get in effortlessly, any additional security and surveillance would be pointless.

Besides, the Arakawa Family found the constant coming in and going out quite troublesome too, didn’t they?

Such a hassle...

Huai Shi quietly clicked his tongue.

Tobio Lihua put away the candle and moved swiftly. Without paying attention to the shelves on either side, she charged straight to the innermost part, paused momentarily after scanning the area.

Suddenly, she turned around.

Then she noticed an unbelievable figure slowly emerging from the shadow behind her...

The intruder had a stunning face and a beautiful figure, with a slender body leaning back, holding a majestic and ornate long spear upside down in her right hand, thrusting it fiercely at her rear!

Backstab!

”You insolent scoundrel, reveal your true form at once!”

Seeing her cover blown, Huai Shi immediately shouted furiously: ”Great Mighty Heavenly—”

Unfortunately, before he could shout the word ”Dragon”, his voice was swallowed by the stagnant air.

Tobio Lihua flicked her wrist, her slender bracelet lighting up, and a spherical force field spread abruptly, instantly engulfing both of them, freezing all sound.

Everything fell silent.

Two daggers had already sprung from Lihua’s hands, stabbing straight at the face of the ambusher, as fast as lightning!

Huai Shi’s long spear abruptly vanished, replaced by a blood-stained Grudge sweeping across. Amidst the proliferation of iron feathers, the sharp long knife deflected the daggers, aiming directly at Lihua’s chest.

First the rear, then the chest—Huai Shi even felt he was being outrageously perverse.

But immediately following, Lihua’s daggers flew out quietly, tracing two strange arcs in the air, targeting Huai Shi’s neck and back.

As Tobio Lihua’s body fell backward, she performed a bridge move, dodging the sweep of Grudge. Next, an empty right hand suddenly presented a handgun, repeatedly pulling the trigger at Huai Shi.

The tumult was extinguished in the silence, but the bullets burned with radiance, flying towards Huai Shi.

There was no time to block the bullets.

But before Lihua even pulled the trigger, Huai Shi had already raised the knife blade, blocking it in front of the gun muzzle.

Accompanied by a violent tremor in his arm, four hexagonal cursed bullets disintegrated upon the blade of Grudge, and the shards were devoured by Grudge.

Huai Shi felt a chill rise from his heels to the back of his brain.

Death Perception was finally fading away.

Who knew how maliciously cursed those bullets were, almost matching the Numbered Curse Bullet tailored by the Astronomical Society for wanted criminals.

If those bullets hit, forget about the Soloist, even the Great Priestess would have a tough time handling it.

As his hair stood on end, Huai Shi casually dispelled the Grudge, the floor beneath shaking, and his whole body lunged forward.

Using Yu Step + Drummer, the distance Lihua had pulled apart was crossed in an instant, then, the hastily prepared stance shattered under a hit from the Drummer, her arms involuntarily springing open to the sides, even the bracelet on her wrist maintaining the silence shattered, exposing an open opportunity.

Relentless chasing of wind and moon.

Master Huai pinned her to the ground, about to cut through her middle line.

Tobio Lihua landed, and suddenly whimpered softly, raising a pitiful face, appearing as if on the verge of tears.

Her complexion was as radiant as jade, as if a crescent emerged in haze, a floral tree piled with snow, tender and charming, alluring in speech, soft and delicate, unmatched in beauty.

In her graceful elegance, there was a sense of etherealness, a pink face with a touch of vermilion lips, shyness in her expression.

”Oh!”

Huai Shi’s movements paused, involuntarily freezing in place, stunned.

But as her long hair swept across his face, a familiar smell, no, a familiar scent of shampoo rushed towards him!

...Bawang!

In that instant, Huai Shi was struck like a thunderbolt, blurting out: ”Old Liu?”

”Damn, you’re... Huai Shi?”

The daggers aimed at his kidneys paused, ’Tobio Lihua’s’ expression twitched, staring hard at Huai Zhisu, utterly stupefied.

”Why are you wearing women’s clothing?”

In the awkward silence, he was stunned for a long time, retracting his Soul Ability: ”You’re quite bold!”

”Damn it, you have the nerve to talk about others!”

Huai Shi snapped back to his senses, immediately furious: ”Aren’t you wearing women’s clothing too? And seducing innocent young men, I saw it clearly!”

Could he not see it clearly?

He was the one being seduced...
