Chapter 396 Dream Catcher
The cold murderous intent was everywhere, covering the entire long street.
Under the cover of night, the wind was howling and the chill was biting.
After the fatal explosion just now, the whole town fell into an eerie silence again, with only the sound of rain filling the sky.
“Tick-tick-tick…”
Rain was dripping from the eaves and the colorful billboards were blurred in the rain.
The residents of the town seemed to be in a deep sleep. There was not a single sound, not even a scream.
Logically speaking, with such a big incident, the town should have been in chaos by now.
But now, it's eerily quiet.
What's going on?
Su Xia wore life-sensing glasses and tried to find the ten men in black.
From what he could see, there were signs of life in the houses on both sides of the town's streets. More than half of them were motionless, in a deep coma. Even the explosion could not wake them up. It was obviously done by the Zero Point Tavern.
"Drugs?"
There are more than a thousand comatose residents of the town, including the elderly, children, and women. All of their vital signs are normal, but no one knows when they will wake up.
Once the scope of the fighting expands, it will easily affect these sleeping residents.
Su Xia couldn't even use any of the steel for the buildings.
The other party calculated that he would not intentionally harm civilians, so he could not use his abilities wantonly here. Although this method was shameless, it was quite effective.
Fighting in a residential area is a restriction for both sides, but it is more restrictive for Su Xia.
Although the Zero Point Tavern cannot use heavy weapons against Su Xia, the intact buildings in the town are a perfect protection for the killers in the tavern, providing them with more shadow areas and hiding places.
"What would the Masked Man do?"
In the houses on both sides of the street, pairs of eyes were looking at Su Xia, constantly thinking and analyzing what might happen next.
What they didn't know was that while they were looking at Su Xia, Su Xia was also looking at them.
With the help of life sensing glasses, Su Xia could see orange-red figures in human form walking back and forth in the houses.
"Frank should be inside the pub." Su Xia moved his eyes and looked quietly at the Midnight Tavern not far away.
It is actually not difficult to kill Frank. As long as Su Xia finds his location, he will be sure to kill him with one blow.
He was not in a hurry now. He assigned some nanorobots to search the tavern.
But before the little robots could enter the tavern, Frank's voice was heard from the tavern: "So, Masked Stranger, do you still want to kill me?"
The sound was amplified through the loudspeaker and was a bit harsh, echoing continuously in the long street in the heavy rain.
After hearing these words, the crowd around them finally understood some of the truth.
It turns out that the reason why the masked man came to challenge the tavern in the middle of the night was to kill someone in the tavern?
"Who is it?"
"So arrogant, you actually dare to provoke the masked weirdo in person!"
This scene reminded everyone of the unlucky Xue Lin.
That Xue Lin, also relying on the rules of the tavern, provoked the masked weirdo inside the tavern, thinking that the masked weirdo could not kill him.
But what is the result?
But to someone like the Masked Man, any threat seems ridiculous.
Even if the whole world is hunting him, he doesn't care and can kill anyone he wants!
"No, the situation now is different from that time."
"Judging from the current situation, perhaps the masked man really can't kill him, and can't even get close to the tavern. That man's arrogance is justified..."
The force dispatched by the tavern is unprecedentedly powerful. If it were an ordinary level five creature, it would have been killed on the spot. Only the masked stranger can deal with these troublesome killers.
Everyone looked at each other and began to analyze the identity of the man in the tavern.
If we can analyze it, perhaps we can analyze part of the masked man's personality.
Before they could start discussing, another voice came from the tavern. It was the same person as before: "Masked man, I have prepared the best wine for you. It is a red wine from before the war. It tastes excellent and is extremely rare. It is worth a fortune. I am waiting for you to enter the tavern and chat with me. Why don't you come in?"
Anyone could hear how complacent that person was, and through these words, one could vaguely see the smug look on the face of a mean person.
The red wine before the war was indeed precious, but why would the masked man lack such a taste?
In comparison, the masked man must be more interested in another red liquid - that person's blood.
"No matter who that person is, the conflict between him and the masked man must be irreconcilable, otherwise he would not have offended him to death."
"Yes, there is no room for evasion in his words."
“…”
The current situation is quite unfavorable for the masked man.
If he chooses to move forward, he will be surrounded and killed by those ten top killers. If he chooses to retreat, he will be chased by those killers again.
For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma!
At this time, a voice came from the loudspeaker again: "The tavern is such a great place. Why didn't I think of coming here to have a look before? Masked man, what are you thinking? Why would you turn against the tavern? It's such a pity..."
This remark was even more impolite than before, pointing directly to the embarrassing situation that the masked man was in.
Everyone realized that the other party was trying to provoke the masked man!
The man didn't want the masked man to leave.
After all, even if ten top killers are chasing you continuously, there is a certain probability of failure.
An enemy as terrifying as the masked man, once he escapes, will definitely become a psychological shadow for this person in the endless years to come, making him feel suffocated for the rest of his life.
"That guy's mouth is really mean, what he said made me want to hit him!"
"Why is the masked man so calm?"
"Is he thinking of a solution?"
"The tavern is also a reinforced concrete building. If it were me, I would directly activate my ability and force the entire tavern to collapse!"
"So what if it collapses? Will this definitely kill that person? What if it fails to kill that person and kills many innocent people instead?"
“…”
Everyone was whispering, their voices so low that they were almost inaudible.
If they were the masked monsters, they would be in a really difficult situation and there would be no better way.
However, they did not know that with Su Xia’s current abilities, he could completely control the collapse of the entire building so that it would not collapse.
As long as you find your target, everything will be easy!
"call--"
A gust of wind suddenly blew on the long street of the town.
The wind was not surprising. In fact, there was always a night breeze blowing, and even the rain was falling slantingly.
But the wind that was blowing now had an inexplicable chill, so cold that it bit their bones, causing everyone in the nearby houses to shiver inexplicably.
Why is it so cold?
The breeze blew across Su Xia's body.
Around him, the psychic shield that had just been re-condensed was actually showing layers of tiny ripples.
This is what happens when you are attacked!
"There's something wrong with this wind!" someone whispered.
The killing campaign against Su Xia has begun again!
There was only less than two minutes between the last action and the mysterious man in the tavern said a few provocative words in between.
“Buzz——”
Around Su Xia's body, the light blue transparent psychic shield vibrated gently, and more and more ripples appeared.
The wind did not leave, it was invisible and lingering around Su Xia like a strange ghost.
It seemed as if there were invisible knives in the wind, cutting Su Xia's psychic shield and constantly consuming Su Xia's energy.
At the same time, Su Xia felt a sharp pain in her brain again.
Mental attack!
Another mental attack, from the same person!
The opponent is not a level five creature and has little impact on Su Xia, but as long as it can affect him for a moment, it will be enough!
If such moments happened a few more times, Su Xia would be exhausted.
There are ten of them, even if they have to fight with attrition, they can kill Su Xia!
“Buzz…buzz…”
Su Xia's psychic shield kept vibrating, flickering.
The attack intensity of that wind was gradually increasing, penetrating every hole and trying to intrude into the shield.
At this moment, Su Xia frowned. As the severe pain subsided, he felt a fatigue and sleepiness penetrating deep into his soul.
Another mental attack!
In the darkness, the other party exerted invisible mental influence on him, trying to make him fall into a deep sleep.
If he hadn't been so focused, he would have fallen asleep on the spot.
"It seems that among those ten people, at least two are good at mental attacks, but neither of them is a level five creature..."
If it was a level five creature, such as the black-clothed woman Mengqu, it would be enough to make Su Xia dazed for a moment.
This is because Su Xia's willpower is stronger than that of ordinary people.
If it were an ordinary level five creature, it might be in a trance for a longer time, and when it woke up, its head would probably be separated from its neck.
“Squeak——”
An extremely sharp sound suddenly rang in Su Xia's ears, like a shock wave of sound, rushing through his body, making his brain go blank in an instant.
Another invisible attack!
Three consecutive attacks, all of which were aimed at his body, directly bypassing his psychic shield and metal protection, and the debilitating effect they caused him became stronger and stronger.
The personnel dispatched by Zero Point Tavern this time were quite targeted.
【Closed! 】
Su Xia sent instructions to a team of nanorobots.
After receiving the order, the nanorobots instantly entered Su Xia's ears and established a closed net in front of the eardrum to block the terrifying sound waves and minimize its impact on Su Xia.
The next moment, fine ripples appeared in the air.
The pair of big hands covered in black paint suddenly appeared from the water again, passed through the psychic shield, and tightly hugged Su Xia's legs.
He doesn't seem to have any attacking ability, only the ability to bind, and his binding ability is particularly strong.
"quick!"
A voice of urging came from nowhere, echoing in the surrounding darkness.
At the same time, soft sounds were heard from the shadows on all sides.
"Bang-bang-bang-bang-"
Immediately afterwards, a number of elliptical bullets flew into the sky, approached Su Xia's position, and then exploded together, turning into a dense large net.
At this moment, at least hundreds of large nets were spread out, covering the darkness above the entire town, forming a dragnet.
Large nets fell from all directions towards Su Xia's position.
This is not enough, the next round of launches follows, with hundreds of large nets!
"Zero Point Tavern wants to capture the masked weirdo alive?"
Everyone was shocked, as they had previously thought that the tavern wanted to kill the masked man directly.
They noticed that at the edge of each large net, there was a small capsule-shaped mechanical device that emitted a flickering blue light and seemed to have the effect of suppressing psychic energy.
To put it simply, those big nets are giant psychic suppressors!
Su Xia, who was hanging above the town, instantly became a prey in a net!
[Dream Catcher: A product of Anluo Company, the net rope is tough and specially used to capture psychic creatures...]
Information about this big network instantly popped up in front of Su Xia's eyes.
But he was in no mood to pay attention to such information now.
A pair of large black hands held him tightly, locking him firmly in place. This was the biggest source of his current crisis.
The threat posed by these huge hands to him now even exceeded that of the omnipresent Level 5 killer.
“Get lost!”
He shouted coldly, and pieces of metal exploded on his big hand, finally breaking the thing into pieces.
But in the next moment, the big hand that had been blown into a pool of black petroleum-like liquid actually recondensed and hugged Su Xia's legs again!
The other party is fighting hard!
No matter how many times Su Xia blew him away, he would try his best to keep Su Xia in place!
“Bang!”
The first layer of the net covered the layer of metal debris outside Su Xia. The four corners of the net rotated automatically, wrapping up the layer of metal debris tightly.
What followed were more dream catchers, one after another, as if they wanted to wrap Su Xia up like a dumpling.
However, except for the first few nets, the other large nets were intercepted in mid-air by the metal fragments controlled by Su Xia and had no effect at all.
"What's the point?"
Su Xia asked calmly without changing her expression.
Then, he struggled violently and once again broke free from the pair of black hands that were holding him.
At the same time, the layer of metal debris around him suddenly spread outward, directly overturning the large nets covering him.
Su Xia moved, instantly approached the roof of a building, and waved his hand.
“Crack!”
On the roof, an automatic dream catcher launcher shattered instantly.
At the same time, the automatic launchers throughout the town were attacked by metal fragments, and more than half of them were destroyed almost instantly.
At this moment, the big black hand suddenly stretched out from the rain again, hugged Su Xia's legs tightly, trying to imprison him again.
This man's repeated attacks really made Su Xia a little annoyed.
"You really think I can't hurt you?"
Su Xia looked indifferent as he took out more than ten bottles of medicine and slapped them hard in the air!
With a snap, the potion exploded, emitting a pungent smell, and most of the scattered medicine dripped onto the big black hands.
There was a muffled groan, and big holes were corroded on the two big hands in an instant. Green smoke was coming out of every corroded area, and the speed was extremely fast.
"hiss--"
The pair of black hands disappeared in an instant, and a cry of pain was heard in the surrounding darkness.
That kind of pain that goes deep into the bone marrow.
The men in black in the tavern all have very strong willpower and a high tolerance for pain. They can endure it even if they are stabbed a few times.
But in the next moment, screams of pain were heard again in the darkness, and it was impossible to hold back.
"hiss……"
A few seconds later, a black figure fell from a high altitude and hit the hard ground heavily. It was shaking and twitching all over, and emitting bursts of terrifying green smoke.
His clothes, skin, flesh, internal organs and even bones were actually melting and turning into pools of foul-smelling pus. It was so horrific that it was unbearable to look at. His facial features were distorted in pain!
This scene made everyone's scalps tingle and cold sweats run down their cheeks.
What kind of potion is that? Why is it so scary?
Above the town, Su Xia calmly took off his coat, because his coat was also stained with a lot of chemicals, and was now emitting green smoke from corrosion.
At the same time, he used some antidote to neutralize the remaining liquid in his body.
“Life is so fragile.”
Seeing the man in black struggling and groaning below, Su Xia couldn't help but sigh.
"Such a tragic death really makes my conscience uneasy. I will have a few more nightmares tonight."
Hearing what he said, the faces of the people in the surrounding houses twitched.
Could it be that this old man who had killed countless people still had nightmares?
Looking at Su Xia's expression, it was clear that he was admiring the man in black who was struggling in pain due to corrosion. He did not feel any burden at all, as if he was admiring the death of a dog.
