Chapter 114
Yu Zhi lifted his eyelids slightly, sweeping his gaze around without drawing attention.
The night was thick and heavy. Dense clouds hung like a curtain across the sky, concealing the red moon somewhere beyond sight.
No moonlight. No streetlights. Darkness swallowed everything. Even Yingmian’s figure was somewhat blurred.
“If I think about the people, will brother think about me?” Yingmian tilted his head, his eyes behind the mask greedily fixed on Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi didn’t answer. He aimed at Yingmian’s forehead and pulled the trigger cleanly.
Bang. Bang bang—
Bang. Bang bang—
Yingmian didn’t dodge. Instead, he walked forward, facing the bullets head-on.
Yu Zhi’s grip was steady. Every shot struck his face.
After emptying an entire magazine, Yingmian was completely unharmed—and had closed the distance to about five meters.
His bloodless lips curled upward. A gray-black layer of ability energy coated his black mask.
The bullets couldn’t penetrate it. They didn’t even leave a mark.
Yu Zhi frowned, flashed several meters away, and quickly reloaded.
For now, he didn’t plan to use Hard as You Ask or Whatever I Say Goes on Yingmian.
Yingmian’s ability was too flexible. And after getting punched hard twice in the industrial park last time, he was definitely wary of Hard as You Ask.
As for Whatever I Say Goes… too expensive. And Yu Zhi still hadn’t fully figured out how it worked.
He glanced at the SUV below and continued firing after reloading.
Free bullets were still the best.
The more he shot and resisted, the hotter Yingmian’s gaze became. Suddenly, as if remembering something, Yingmian let out a short, excited laugh.
“Brother, you asked me a question last time. I haven’t answered yet.”
He smiled faintly, enunciating each word:
“I like it.”
“I really like brother’s big ability.”
The moment his words fell, his body turned into a streak of black shadow and vanished.
In an instant, Yu Zhi felt a chill at his back. Icy breath brushed against his neck, raising goosebumps.
Xiao Hei had moved behind him.
Yu Zhi’s pupils shrank. He glanced at the shadow beneath his feet and used Ordinary Step:
[Step on Xiao Hei’s heel!]
He flashed behind Yingmian and fired at the back of his head without hesitation.
Bang—
Bang bang bang—
The bullets clattered to the ground, all blocked by Yingmian’s ability.
They didn’t hit his body—but they clearly hit his excitement.
Yu Zhi saw Yingmian’s hands, etched with eerie black patterns, begin trembling. Those hands twisted backward abruptly and grabbed Yu Zhi’s wrist.
Then Yingmian’s head rotated around. His light brown eyes locked onto Yu Zhi, glowing brighter and brighter.
“Brother, let’s continue last time’s rape game today.”
“…?”
You’re still obsessed with that stupid game?!
Yu Zhi’s mouth twitched slightly. He flashed behind Yingmian again and kept shooting.
Yingmian blocked every bullet effortlessly. He lowered his head to look at his palm, still carrying Yu Zhi’s warmth. The curve of his lips widened, eyes filled with horrifying fervor.
He melted back into the darkness and rose again from Yu Zhi’s shadow.
The moment Yu Zhi sensed him, he flashed behind him again.
Back and forth.
Yu Zhi flashed behind Yingmian. Yingmian slipped behind Yu Zhi. Again and again.
They used their abilities in rapid succession, shifting so quickly that only two flickering afterimages remained on the rooftop.
Yu Zhi could barely see Yingmian’s body—just a blur of black—but Yingmian’s voice was crystal clear.
“Brother, you didn’t secretly rape Yu Yi while I wasn’t around, did you?”
“….”
Yu Zhi sneered calmly. “Why would I secretly rape him? We’re an openly incestuous couple.”
“I do it openly.”
The livestream comments exploded again.
Yingmian became even more excited, his movements speeding up. “Then brother must already be bored of Yu Yi.”
Yu Zhi: “……”
While reloading and dodging, Yu Zhi flashed onto another rooftop and glanced at the SUV and armored vehicle below.
They hadn’t reached the position he’d intended.
The SUV had slammed into five or six humanoid contaminants. The narrow alley between buildings could barely fit one vehicle; now it was completely blocked.
The sunroof popped open. Lu Liming climbed halfway out and began shooting at the contaminants blocking the way.
Yu Zhi felt a flicker of relief.
But the moment he withdrew his gaze, Yingmian’s eyes appeared inches away.
Startled, Yu Zhi flashed to the farthest possible distance.
Yingmian noticed the distraction and lazily scanned the surroundings. “What are you thinking about, brother? Why so unfocused?”
“Trying to lure contaminants with your ability?”
“I rape brother. Brother uses ability on me.”
Thrill surged through every nerve. Beneath the wide black robe, his body trembled with excitement.
“I’ll rape you openly, right under the contaminants’ gaze…”
“….”
Yu Zhi lowered his eyes slightly, continuing to monitor the vehicles below. Casually, he said,
“I was actually thinking…”
“Don’t you have another companion?”
Yingmian paused. “Hongtao?”
“Does brother want to play with Hongtao?”
He spoke slowly. “You’re thinking… I rape you, and you rape Hongtao?”
Yu Zhi noticed the faint shift in his tone and forced himself to reply, “Isn’t that allowed?”
He quickly scanned the area. No other figures.
“She’s not here?”
Yingmian ignored that question. After a second of thought, he said seriously,
“If Hongtao comes, it won’t be you raping her.”
“It’ll be Hongtao and me raping you together.”
Yu Zhi: “???”
What the hell do you mean?!
Before he could respond, Yingmian muttered on,
“Why haven’t the contaminants arrived yet?”
“Why doesn’t brother use Heaven’s Gift to summon them?”
“I also want to rape you openly.”
The moment he finished speaking, Yingmian lunged forward. Countless black lines shot out of the darkness, stabbing in from all directions.
Yu Zhi flashed behind him instantly—but the ground beneath his feet erupted with dense black lines that wrapped tightly around his legs, trapping him.
A crash echoed from the street below.
The SUV had broken through the contaminants and surged forward.
Yu Zhi steadied himself. He pretended to struggle, but in truth let Yingmian’s black lines bind his legs and wrists.
The rifle’s magazine was stripped away by a cluster of black lines. Only his head and fingers remained movable.
Looking down at the rifle barrel, Yu Zhi said calmly,
“The contaminants here are too ugly.”
“I want to show you my newly awakened ability.”
At the mention of “new ability,” Yingmian leaned closer instinctively, intoxicated by the faint scent of soap on Yu Zhi’s body.
“New ability? Prophecy?”
“No. Another one.”
“Take one more step forward.”
Yingmian obediently stepped closer.
Suddenly, Yu Zhi curled his finger and slammed the rifle butt downward. The muzzle snapped upward violently, striking squarely between Yingmian’s legs.
The blow landed on a fatal spot. Yingmian’s expression twisted; he doubled over in pain.
Yu Zhi curled his lips into a cold smile.
“New ability—Precise Groin Strike.”
“Feel good?”
Then he flashed onto another rooftop.
Once out of range, the black restraints dissolved into shadow.
Yu Zhi leapt forward, jumped off the building, and in the next instant appeared atop the armored vehicle.
He bent down to look inside.
Doctor Qi, driving, suddenly met a pair of pitch-black eyes at the window and nearly jumped out of his seat. Two eyeballs popped out on the back of his right hand in fright.
Recognizing Yu Zhi, he exhaled shakily.
Yu Zhi wasted no time. He flashed into the vehicle, took off his jacket, deliberately wedged a corner of the black combat suit in the window, and pulled out a backpack from [My Props], stuffing it full of rifles and magazines.
“Don’t fight. Just run.”
Then he flashed into the backseat of the SUV.
He tossed the backpack to the passenger seat and tugged Lu Liming’s braid. “If you can’t hold on, upgrade your physique.”
A transfer prompt appeared on Lu Liming’s translucent panel:
[The other party has transferred 10,000 universal coins. Accept?]
“Reject!” Lu Liming said quickly. “Brother Yu, don’t worry. I’m more skilled with my ability now. I’ll be fine. I still have to save the world with you.”
“Alright.” Yu Zhi didn’t force him. Looking up at the pitch-black sky, he added, “If you hear anything from me later, drive far away.”
“Got it.”
“Where’s the contamination source?” Lu Liming finally asked.
“Yan Yang already gave us many hints.”
“Classmate Xiao Ming—figure it out yourself.”
The moment he finished speaking, the backseat was empty.
Lu Liming gripped the steering wheel tightly and floored the accelerator, veering into another narrow road.
Before long, the familiar singing echoed again from the rooftops.
“How did he catch up so fast?!”
Sweat soaked Lu Liming’s body. His hands slipped on the wheel.
Under crushing pressure, he kept talking to steady himself.
“Brother Yu didn’t tell me directly for my own good. Teaching someone to fish instead of giving them fish.”
“He said Yan Yang reminded us of many things… many? Were there really that many?”
“He warned us about eyeballs. About Meteorite Biotech watching us. What else?”
Lightning flashed in his mind.
Lu Liming’s eyes widened. He looked into the rearview mirror.
The clouds slowly parted. The concealed red moon emerged clearly.
Crimson veins crisscrossed its surface. At its center was a deep black dot—like a constricted pupil.
The red moon looked exactly like a bloodshot eyeball, silently staring down at him.
—Raise your head and gaze at the bright moon.
From the very beginning of the instance, Yan Yang had been reminding them.
