Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 1357: Chapter 68: You Cheater

The Masked Man squatted on the rooftop of the abandoned hospital, landing softly on her toes, resembling a lazy wildcat.

Watching the gleam of the Dragon Slash in Su Xiao’s hand, the Masked Man frowned, clearly sensing Su Xiao was not easy to deal with.

”It seems... this won’t be so simple.”

The Masked Man’s metal claws extended from her fingertips, flexing all ten fingers.

”How about... you hand over that gun, then we act like we’ve never met?”

”...”

Su Xiao remained silent, merely tilting his head to stare at the Masked Man.

”Don’t look at me with such a terrifying gaze. If I shout now, guess how many Lone Wolves will be attracted?”

”...”

Su Xiao continued his silence.

”#!”

Under the helmet, the Masked Man’s expression grew somewhat impatient.

”Hey! Are you mute?”

”...”

”Tch, opponents these days are getting smarter.”

The Masked Man lightly tapped her arm with her claw tips, deactivating a function on her Soft Metal Armor.

Compulsive Guide Hypnosis (equipment skill): ”Through language, guide the enemy using special wavelengths. Success rate of Compulsive Guide Hypnosis increases to over 55% upon successful interaction with the enemy.”

...

It is evident that Su Xiao’s habit of never engaging in idle talk with enemies serves him well. If he were to converse with the Masked Man for more than five exchanges, he would be affected by the ”Compulsive Guide Hypnosis” ability, which would markedly reduce his perception force and nerve reflex speed despite not impairing his combat strength.

The Masked Man leaped down from the rooftop. As she descended from more than twenty meters high, landing on a tattered wooden box, the box remained intact. She landed softly upon it, like a feather.

Just as the Masked Man touched down on the box, she lunged forward, pouncing towards Su Xiao with incredible speed. However, Su Xiao’s intuition ability quickly sensed her movement trajectory.

Just before Su Xiao could swing his blade to slash, the Masked Man accelerated mid-air. As she accelerated, layers of air waves exploded around her.

Bang!

A claw mark grazed Su Xiao’s face, specks of fresh blood splattering.

With both hands and feet on the ground, the Masked Man flicked her long tail, landing in a manner similar to a feline. Before reaching the ground, she had already turned her body to continuously face Su Xiao.

”Close-combat class.”

The Masked Man glanced down at her abdomen where a slash mark lay. As the Soft Metal Armor surged, the mark vanished.

Drip, drip.

A bloody streak appeared on Su Xiao’s cheek, with droplets of rosy blood falling.

Just as the Masked Man landed, D·Assassin appeared in Su Xiao’s left hand. Seeing the menacing, black hole-like gun barrel of D·Assassin made the Masked Man shiver; getting hit by this is no joke.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

Shell casings ejected from D·Assassin’s chamber as Su Xiao fired five shots at the Masked Man.

With a loud crash, the Masked Man broke through a nearby wall and rushed into an abandoned hospital.

Taking a few steps to charge towards the broken wall, Su Xiao glimpsed a dark shadow flashing ahead.

Bang, bang, bang...

A few more shots followed, accompanied by faint cries of pain. From the broken wall to the inside of the abandoned hospital, a trail of blood was visible along the way.

Su Xiao sheathed the Dragon Slash, knowing the enemy’s speed is high, and they are focused on close combat. Maintaining mid-range combat is more advantageous for Su Xiao.

While swapping in a new magazine, Su Xiao retrieved a pair of glasses with yellow lenses from his storage space.

[TcdrSLY-Tactical Detector (Dark Purple · Disposable Items)]

Don’t underestimate these glasses. Although they are disposable items, they can penetrate structures, shallow earth layers, and come with infrared sensing, heat sensing, sonar sensing, and more.

Su Xiao wore the ’TcdrSLY-Tactical Detector’, gently tapping the side of the glasses.

Vroom~

A wave of oscillation spread.

...

The scene before Su Xiao transformed, turning the formerly gray-black walls transparent, resembling virtual templates. Overall, the higher the transparency, the thinner the wall. Denser walls, like load-bearing walls, were darker in color.

Within Su Xiao’s line of sight, the building appeared gray and misty, especially conspicuous was the trail of blood on the ground emitting an orange-red glow. The glow gradually faded, indicating the blood was slowly cooling.

Inside a long-abandoned operating room, the Masked Man leaned against a corner wall, clutching her abdomen with one hand. She had been hit with three shots: one to the abdomen, one to the thigh, and one to the lower back.

D·Assassin, as a legendary level gun, caused considerable trauma to the Masked Man after taking three shots. The bullets to her abdomen and lower back were mitigated by her exterior armor, absorbing over 70% of the bullet’s energy. However, her leg sustained serious damage; after absorbing the first two bullets, her armor underwent a charging phase, leading to the third bullet penetrating her calf.

Grimacing from the pain, the Masked Man felt exasperated. She was engaged in close combat and instinctively tried to increase her charge distance but wasn’t accustomed to sustained close combat with enemies.

Yet, just as she tried to pull away, the enemy suddenly brandished a high-quality handgun, unleashing several shots.

Had it been an ordinary gun, the Masked Man wouldn’t have cared as her armor could predict bullet trajectories and bolster defense accordingly.

Unfortunately, D·Assassin’s bullets were silently discharged and had a perception-blocking effect that made predicting trajectories impossible, frustrating her.

After engaging with Su Xiao in close combat, the Masked Man realized Su Xiao’s close combat ability wasn’t weak—in fact, he primarily excelled in close combat; guns were merely his secondary weapons.

”So much for close combat—men are all deceivers...”

Just as the Masked Man finished her statement, she heard a sharp sound behind her, and a bullet silently flew towards the back of her neck.

The Soft Metal Armor surged, clearly thickening—a defensive form attained by sacrificing speed.

With a splatter, the soft metal flew like liquid, a bullet lodged in the Masked Man’s neck.

Despite stopping the bullet, its energy transferred, causing her body to fall forward.

Bang, bang...

Concrete from the wall flew as the Masked Man took several more blows, rolling on the ground before flipping over to sit upright. She glanced around in bewilderment, struck by the sudden barrage of bullets.

Soft metal surged, dropping bullets onto the ground.

A bullet penetrated the concrete wall, heading straight for the Masked Man’s forehead.

Striking the Masked Man’s forehead, she heard a buzzing in her head, instantly sitting down.

Reaching to pluck the bullet from her forehead, the Masked Man shook her head and patted her ears, realizing she couldn’t hear anything.

The Masked Man had been hit by many bullets, but only the one to her head had this severe impact. Frankly, her survival ability indeed proved remarkable—even other Fourth-tier Contractors, having sustained such a barrage from D·Assassin, would have perished on the spot.
