On the dreamy boat, the sound of gears turning rang in their ears, becoming the embellishment of the noisy background music. Under both sides of the hull of the boat, there were exhaust pipes.
Steam would spurt out from time to time, setting off a wave of air on the surface of the water.
The mechanical pipes crisscrossed the various corners of the dreamy boat's upper and lower levels like blood vessels, connecting to this behemoth.
"Why isn't he here yet? It's been more than half an hour since the appointed time."
Qin Shou looked at his phone.
It was already late at night, and many of the customers on the dream ship had gone home. Apart from the sound of gears and heavy metal music, everything else was quiet.
Bai Yu dipped on his drink quietly without feeling anxious.
The demon paper was in his hands.
If the other party did not come, then they would have to consider how to hand it over reasonably and legally. He would also tactfully suggest the Pingyi Company to get involved.
There was also the most important point.
To prevent the other party from using the mystical power to interrogate him, the secret of the Brainiac Space should not be exposed!
"He's already exposed himself and has been investigated.
"He's a shareholder of the Jiuda Trading Company, a citizen of the Omi Empire, and is doing business in the Dongsheng Empire. When he was young, he was a sequence seven martial artist. However, after he was injured, he withdrew from the ranks and dabbled in business."
Qin Shou looked at the message on his phone as he shared all the information.
"His appearance hasn't been fully processed. Either this is an identity that can be discarded, or the other party has strong confidence that they will be able to sweep us up cleanly. Let's wait it out and see how it goes."
Bai Yu did not want to make a rash decision when he heard what Qin Shou shared.
Bang!
At this moment, a sudden sound came from outside.
"Qin Shou, Bai Yu, the target is fighting with two women by the lakeside. Those two should also be extraordinaires, but they look like they can't hold on much longer."
Liu Kui's voice sounded from the earpiece.
Bai Yu and Qin Shou stood up at lightning speed.
The good news came too abruptly. Although they did not know why the other party would suddenly fight with two extraordinaires, now was the time to seize the opportunity in catching them off guard.
The more people involved, the better. That was just the concept when it came to fighting.
Qin Shou came out one after another, followed closely by Bai Yu.
The two stood on the deck and looked over from afar.
The lakeside looked like it had been destroyed. More than ten willow trees had been broken at the trunk. When they tried to find the people, one of them was lying on the ground gasping for air, while the other was being pressed to the ground by a bare-chested old man.
The scene looked extremely cruel.
"D*mn, isn't that the female demon Qianxue?"
Qin Shou's sharp eyes saw Qianxue lying on the ground, pretending to be dead.
"You know her?" Bai Yu asked in surprise.
"She rarely comes to class. I heard that she was sent to the capital's Devil University.
"Her family seems to be quite powerful. On the surface, she seems peaceful and approachable, but behind her back... I know quite a few people who once pursued her. They all had various reasons to quit school and left Linjiang City as if they were running for their lives.
"You know, nothing is just black and white.
"The more harmless a person is, the more dangerous they actually are. Who knows, one day, she might pull out a gatling gun from her skirt and shoot it at you."
Qin Shou's expression surprised Bai Yu.
Qin Shou's school was Linjiang's Second High School, it was only slightly inferior to Linjiang's First High School.
However, Bai Yu thought that all investigators had to be powerful people in order to be chosen. It turned out that she was just someone with connections and had a lot of money.
No wonder she was so weak.
"The other one can't hold on much longer."
Although they were quite far away, Qin Shou could roughly see that the other woman was still no match for the man.
"She's an investigator from the Pingyi Division, she's in charge of the Eastern District.
"The investigator has at least the strength of a peak sequence eight martial artist, with over a thousand blood resiliency. Is that man more powerful than her?"
Qin Shou's face was full of fear.
Some customers on the deck of the dreamy ship had even walked out to see the commotion.
Of course, when they saw the battle between the extraordinaires, they were not frightened at all. Instead, they cheered on like they were watching a show. There were even a few who had already taken out their phones to film the showdown.
This group of people did not know the severity of the situation at all. They only thought that it was three non-official extraordinaires fighting and would not rashly attack the civilians.
This was because such a thing was very rare and would naturally attract everyone's attention.
However, if they knew that the two women were investigators, there would probably be a huge commotion on the ship in an instant.
Those who did not know were fearless. This was how life was.
"Kill the investigator. No matter how big the world is, he won't be able to escape. The church and the investigation committee won't allow it."
Qin Shou originally wanted to make a move. However, at the critical moment, he cowered.
Bai Yu stared at him with his dead fish eyes. "Don't you think that if the investigator dies, we won't be able to escape? Didn't you realize that there was no signal on our cell phones?
"Is he planning to kill everyone here?"
Shou Qin suddenly came to a realization.
"There should be something isolating the environment around here. Otherwise, if the investigators were to fight, the reinforcements wouldn't be delayed.
"While they were dealing with this old man's subordinates, those martial artists should be lying in wait by his side, controlling the things isolating this place.
"I will settle my score with this old man and see what his true purpose is."
Bai Yu instantly made a decision.
"Bai Yu, I know you're a pretty abnormal dude, but this guy was once a sequence seven martial artist. Even though he has aged, it is obvious that he has taken some sort of medicine buff to get him this strong again. He is as fierce as a mechanical modifier. Are you sure you can withstand it?"
Qin Shou voiced his worries.
Bai Yu coughed lightly and suddenly changed into a hot-blooded man's expression. His eyes were distant and deep, full of wisdom.
"Sometimes, there is no choice. Even if you can't hold on, you have to hold on. For the stability of Linjiang City and for the safety of others, what's the harm in sacrificing this body of mine!"
"No, don't talk like this. You're scaring me." Qin Shou felt goosebumps all over his body.
Based on his understanding of his best friend, this person was cunning and calculative. He was definitely not a person who could generously give up his life for someone else.
Otherwise, the two of them would not have come together in such a sympathetic manner.
Therefore, Bai Yu's sudden words proved that there must be a hidden underlying meaning behind it.
In order not to be regarded as a toolby Bai Yu, Qin Shou hurriedly got off the boat and summoned Liu Kui and the others to deal with Bruce's subordinates.
"Were you really that disgusted? Good thing I said that before he left."
After he finished that sentence, Bai Yu felt a surge of inexplicable power course through his body, making him have the urge to go all out.
This was the effect of Halo!
Now, he was ready to enter battle mode.
"The main character trope usually only comes out to save his teammates when they are in despair.
"The situation now is more or less the same. I still had to say some words to motivate my teammates."
Things like do not give up, you b*astard, we had an agreement, I would not fall here, and leave the rest to me… Were all words that would cause goosebumps to form on his body.
Of course, he also had to make the passersby feel in awe for this Halo effect to become stronger. It would be best if he could move his teammates to the T.
He would let the enemy cripple him and then kill him.
This should work out well, right?
If Bai Yu had known before he transmigrated, he would have read more hot-blooded manga. He would have been able to repeat all the cringe sentences at the top of his mind.
Bai Yu tried his best to search for the hot-blooded manga scenes he had seen in his previous life.
He hated having a lack of knowledge when the time required for it. Now, he wished he could watch all the anime ever produced just to improve himself.
About a minute passed, Bai Yu thought of the opening line in his mind. Then, he controlled the little bit of blood energy in his body and infused it into the mechanical weapon on his right wrist.
Amidst the screams of the people around him, the bloody warrior armor quickly covered Bai Yu's entire body.
He took a deep breath, bent his joints, jumped off the dreamy boat, and steadily stepped on the surface of the water. With that, a cannonball-like human sped past the water to the targeted location.
