Chapter 3693: It's just a challenge to join...
The obvious Oriental features and the fluent Shenzhou dialect allowed Sabbas to instantly confirm the other party's race.
Seeing the change in Sabbas' pupils, Zhao Le pulled out a chair and sat down. "You really can understand Shenzhou language... Are you a fan of Chinese culture? Or something else?"
Seeing the other person sitting down recklessly, Sabbas slightly turned his body to face the entrance of the screening room, "Who are you?"
Zhao Le ate the hot dog bun with both hands, but his eyes were always on Sabbas. "Who are you?"
"F*ck-you!"
The moment Sabbas raised his hand, a bullet was fired without warning, but at a distance of more than one meter but less than two meters, the probability of the bullet hitting the center of the eyebrows was close to 100%.
Sabbas believed that there was no possibility for the other party to survive... unless the other party was not a [human]!
But his idea soon came true.
When the 9mm Parabellum bullet hovered in front of Zhao Le, Sabbas' pupils dilated infinitely in an instant. The instinctive fear made him override rational thinking. The complete conditioned reflex made him empty the magazine in an instant!
Bang bang bang bang bang-! !
There was a slight smell of gunpowder in the air, and 15 bullets that had already been fired were now clustered and hovering in front of Zhao Le.
Sabbas's whole body seemed to be stiff.
At this time, Zhao Le took out a tissue to wipe the sauce on the edge of his lips. The bullets fell on the table in an instant, making a tinkling sound.
“Why place an order on the dark web?”
Seeing this, Sabbas wanted to rush out without saying a word... This was not someone he could deal with!
The door handle is held!
Sabbas' heart was pounding, but the next moment he felt a sharp pain in his palm! Sabbas looked down subconsciously and found that the door handle had turned into a cobra's head!
The fangs filled with venom were now piercing into his own mouth!
At the same time, streams of sticky blood gushed out from the crack in the door above... The blood slid down the door at an extremely fast speed!
what--!
Sabbas screamed as the door of the screening room was suddenly thrown open and a flood of blood instantly submerged him - he fell to the ground, making movements like drowning.
Until all his physical strength seemed to have been exhausted, Sabbas had no more strength to struggle, and at the moment when he was about to suffocate to death, all the blood in front of him was rapidly fading away.
He stared blankly at the light bulb on the ceiling.
Zhao Le walked over and squatted next to Sabbas. "Now can you tell me why you placed the order on the dark web? Don't say you know nothing, because next time, it may not be an illusion."
"You...you are a [non-human]..." Sabbas asked nervously.
"Mr. Sabath, right?" Zhao Le smiled slightly: "You wasted an opportunity... By the way, you only have two chances in total."
After the ultimate death experience, Sabbas was already covered in cold sweat, and he felt even colder at this moment... The opponent was able to control bullets and perform terrifying illusion abilities, and it was not certain whether he had other [inhuman] abilities.
"Please believe me, I am just following orders." Sabbas said tremblingly, "The other party is also [non-human]. I cannot resist his orders, otherwise I will die."
"Another agent?" Zhao Le frowned slightly when he heard that.
Anonymous orders on the dark web are already very secretive. If it weren't for the dimensionality reduction attack by the host of [Main God Mountain], it would take a long time to find Sabas with ordinary technology alone - the problem is, even Sabas is just an agent who doesn't know who his employer is?
The other party is really careful...
Zhao Le muttered, "Tell me what's going on."
Sabath did not dare to hide it at this time, "About two months ago, one day I returned home..."
……
That day, when Sabbas returned home, a strange black shadow appeared in front of him, displaying a terrifying power that made Sabbas completely unable to resist.
Since that night, Sabbas began to use the dark web to look for employment and communicate with the hired mercenaries according to the other party's instructions.
The living creatures were not arranged by Sabbas. He was just a tool to convey orders to the black shadow and knew very limited things.
"How are you connected to Sombra?"
"They would come to me and leave me a message, and I would do what they told me to do." Sabath hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "In fact, apart from the first time, I never saw the shadow again. I once installed many surveillance cameras in my home, but the envelope would appear silently out of thin air on my desk... and then, I never dared to use the spy camera again."
Zhao Le said calmly: "Do you know that what you did for the other party will cause you huge trouble?"
Sabath said helplessly: "This is an operation against [Qilin City]. Of course I know that if the secret is leaked, my life may be very difficult... But I have no choice because I don't want to die."
As he spoke, Sabbas suddenly reached out to grab his hair and actually took off a wig.
He said in panic, "I have cancer. The doctors can't cure me anymore. I don't have much time left... The black shadow said it can cure me. I can only fight for a chance of survival. I can also work for you, as long as you can keep me alive... Sir, what do you need me to do for you? Please, please believe in the determination of a desperate man who wants to survive!"
Zhao Le thought for a moment and said, "What is this filter used for?"
Zhao Le stretched out his hand and grabbed the filter lens that Sabas had left on the ground in a panic, and began to stroke it in his hand.
"I don't know..." Sabbas shuddered. "Two days ago, the shadow put this on my desk in an envelope, asking me to find a chance to use it in the projection room. When the filter lens turns completely purple, I should take it back... I think it should be done today."
Zhao Le nodded and flicked the filter in front of Sabath like a coin, "Then give it to the black shadow."
He took it in a panic, feeling confused and uncertain.
Zhao Le chuckled, "Now, you know what you have to do for me, right?"
Sabbas took a deep breath and broke out in a cold sweat...Finally, he nodded with a stiff neck, "Yes, sir...I know what to do."
……
In the evening, Sabath drove all the way back to his home - his family did not live in Florida.
The living room was a sturdy apartment... Sabbas opened the door of the house carefully, always feeling that the mysterious young man was hiding beside him, but he could not sense it.
The other party obviously wanted him to lure out the black shadow... But the problem was that the filter was not completed. What would happen to him if he angered the black shadow?
Who is more powerful, the mysterious young man or the black shadow?
Shenzhou has another definition of "supernormal". In Europe, America and other places, there is also a generic classification of "non-human", ranging from LV1 to LV5.
Among the information about the [Inhumans] officially released in America, the most powerful one is at level 4. He is a guy with a body of steel, super strength, and super-speed flight. He is nicknamed [Wild Boy] and likes to stand on the Empire State Building and do a crescent sky dash...
Back in the study, Sabbas put the filter into a white envelope, then turned off the lights. He hid on the sofa in the corner and waited silently.
I don't know how much time had passed, but Sabbas became extremely exhausted and fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.
Hissing…hissing…
Sabbas woke up suddenly. A whisper like hell rang in his ears, making his heart beat wildly. In the dim study, a dark shadow appeared at some point.
A layer of mist appeared on the black shadow... as if it was condensed from black smoke.
Sabbas instantly grabbed the leather cover of the sofa. He was so nervous that he felt as if he was falling into the air and was weightless!
"You're not perfect."
The black shadow suddenly turned around, and the white envelope was floating in the palm of his hand. Suddenly, a flame burned the envelope, revealing the filter inside.
Suddenly, Sabbas' body automatically suspended, he felt as if his brain was stretched open by something, bloodshot filled his eyes at a very fast speed, and his neck was tightly grasped by an invisible force!
The black shadow appeared, but the mysterious young man had not yet shown up!
Sabbas was terrified... He didn't know why the mysterious young man hadn't shown up yet, but he knew that if he didn't do something, he would die at the hands of the shadow.
"Something...something went wrong..." Sabbas said with great difficulty: "The people I hired...on the dark web...didn't respond to complete the mission this time...really...I'm telling the truth..."
The invisible power in his body disappeared instantly, and Sabbas fell directly to the ground.
He was coughing and gasping for breath.
The thick fog on the black shadow was fluctuating at this time, as if it was thinking about something... The next moment, the black shadow directly stretched out its palm wrapped in black fog and squeezed it towards Sabbas!
The next moment, before Sabbas could even react, his body was crushed to pieces, blood, flesh, bones and internal organs splattered all over the floor and walls.
The black shadow looked silently for a moment, and the black mist on his body slowly dissipated, revealing a woman with long black hair and a cold face, whose skin was gray and black, like an old corpse.
The woman was wearing a lot of ornaments of some ancient ethnic group, like a witch.
She suddenly turned her head, her pair of light green eyes emitting a strange fluorescence, silently scanning everything in the study... She didn't seem to notice anything, so she broke through the window and quickly disappeared into the night.
……
Under the cover of night, in the ancient manor, a wisp of black mist quickly drifted into the terrace. The strange woman with black hair and blue eyes let out a light breath, and her body regained its radiance in an instant.
She turned into a blonde sweetheart with blue eyes and blond hair, and the only thing left from the complicated and strange accessories on her body was a finger chain.
At this time, the door of the room opened.
Then a blond man in a dark brown silk robe walked in in surprise, "Qiong, are you out? I think I heard a sound."
Qiong nodded and frowned, "Something may have gone wrong with the operation in Shenzhou."
"What's the problem?" Hearing this, the man's expression instantly restrained, "Come to my study, I need an explanation."
The man is Dick Muse, the heir of this generation of the Muse family. He is also the executive director of the family business, a top pharmaceutical company.
Joan Muse, a woman with the ability to transform into a witch, is his half-sister.
In the study, Dick put his hands together and supported his chin, listening carefully to what happened after Joan went out. He soon made a guess, "Sabas is a tool we carefully selected. He cherishes his life very much. Modern medicine can no longer cure him, so it is unlikely that he will betray us."
Joan played with the filter in her hand, "But it's obvious that Sabas deliberately lured me to show up tonight."
Dick pondered and said, "If there really was a problem with Shenzhou's operation, maybe he really didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to take the initiative to let you show up?"
Qiong said calmly, "There has never been such a precedent before. Even if there is a problem, he shouldn't wait for me to show up in the room."
"Is someone following you?" Dick asked suddenly.
"No." Joan shook her head: "I checked it, unless there is something that can deceive my perception."
"I believe you." Dick smiled slightly. He naturally knew how powerful his sister was... Ever since she accidentally gained that mysterious power during an archaeological research in South America, he had almost blind confidence in Joan's abilities.
The LV4 [Wild Boy] is nothing more than a [beast] that can go berserk at any time and is difficult to control...but his sister is rational, and her witchcraft can do more things.
He thought for a moment and said, "It seems that something has gone wrong in Shenzhou. I need time to investigate. Don't leave the manor these days. Qiong, you know that I need to complete this challenge as a winner. As long as I can successfully enter the [Sun Society], the Muse Family will be in our hands and will be able to move forward."
Joan's eyes became more and more indifferent. "Dick, this is just your wish. After I help you complete this matter, I will probably leave."
"Where are you going?" Dick asked nervously.
"It's no good for you to know this." Joan shook her head. "Dick, you are not from my world after all."
Dick suddenly clenched his fists in anger, "You promised me that you would help me become a [non-human]! Joan! Plase! You are my only relative in the world!"
Joan placed the filter on the table. "Although it is only a semi-finished product, it is enough for you to master some [inhuman] powers. Dick, you really don't have this talent. But don't worry, I will always protect you."
"Joan!"
"Stop the plan against Qilin City." Qiong shook her head. "The Sun Society has many challenges to join. You shouldn't choose this one. No one can withstand the wrath of the True Dragon of Shenzhou. Everyone is cautious."
"I need you!"
"Then you should listen to my advice, my brother." Qiong's eyes became more distant.
It was so strange that Dick even felt afraid from the bottom of his heart... Joan gained powerful strength, but the strangeness of him became stronger and stronger, and he would even instinctively obey the other's will.
"...I understand." Dick said dejectedly: "I will terminate this operation and choose another 'challenge'...but I hope you can continue to help me...How should I use this filter?"
Qiong subconsciously looked at the filter on the table. When she was about to speak, the filter suddenly stretched out a palm!
Dick was startled for a moment, then his eyes showed a hint of excitement, "Oh! God! This is amazing, is this the power of [Inhuman]? I can't wait to see what surprises it can bring me!"
"Dick, get out of there!" Joan Muse shouted in a deep voice. A flash of black air passed by her body, and she instantly turned into an evil witch with black hair and green eyes.
Dick was frightened again by his sister's action, and the next moment the hand that stretched out from the filter suddenly grabbed him!
The next moment, Dick's face was grabbed by a hand and pressed onto the table. With a bang, the solid wood desk was instantly cracked.
Then a gray mist floated out from the filter and turned into the appearance of Zhao Le.
"You...let go of Dick!"
Joan Muse's eyes emitted a strong fluorescent light, and the next moment, the powerful force caused the objects in the study to explode one after another!
She flashed over, with black claws on her fingertips.
Zhao Le tilted his head, and his fingers turned into guns, firing lightly with a "bang".
The next moment, curved rays of light shot out from Zhao Le's fingertips... In an instant, under hundreds of rays of light, Joan Muse, who pounced from mid-air, was pierced with dozens of wounds!
She fell directly to the ground, her body twitching continuously due to the horrible pain, and even lost her identity as a black-haired witch.
She looked at Zhao Le who had easily knocked her down in horror, "You are... Level 5?!"
"I think you may have made a mistake." Zhao Le jumped lightly and sat on the table, pointing his gun at the back of Dick's head. "In Qilin City, there are more people who cannot be provoked... than just the True Dragon of Shenzhou."
"Qiong...save me...save..."
Listening to her brother's weak call, Joan Muse didn't dare to move at this time... The other party's terrifying strength reminded her of the member of the Major Arcana of the New Human Alliance who had extended an olive branch to her...
"...Please don't hurt Dick." June Muse took a deep breath, endured the severe pain and climbed up with difficulty. "Whatever you want to do, we will cooperate with you...as long as we can continue to talk."
"I think so too." Zhao Le nodded calmly, "Then please let me see your sincerity and honesty."
"Okay, what do you want to know?" Joan Muse asked in a deep voice.
"Was the release of the virus targeting Qilin City manipulated by the Sun Society behind the scenes?" Zhao Le asked directly.
He had already heard a lot from the two siblings through the filter, and now he was adding some unclear parts.
"You could say so." Joan Muse nodded. "The Sun Society will set up many Challenges for those who are invited to choose from. The recognition you will receive after completing challenges of different difficulty levels will vary."
Zhao Le thought for a moment and said, "So what is the difficulty level of this [Challenge] your brother chose?"
"One of the most difficult ones." Qiong said seriously, "This is a challenge that was added after the emergence of Qilin City... In fact, there should be quite a few people who choose this challenge. In addition to Dick, there may be others who are also taking it... You are from Qilin City..."
The next moment, Qiong's pupils suddenly contracted, and her thigh was pierced again by the light released by Zhao Le's finger gun. She fell to her knees on the ground and was almost suffocated by the pain!
"Don't ask about my affairs." Zhao Le said expressionlessly: "Who is the leader of the [Sun Society]?"
"Yes..." Joan Muse opened her mouth, but at this moment she suddenly threw a cloud of dust towards the stove in the study!
The dust entered the fire and burned wildly, growing larger in an instant, turning into a huge purple-blue fire!
All that was heard was Joan Muse yawning, "Master World, I agree to your request... I need your help now!"
Zhao Le raised his eyebrows.
The next moment, a thin figure suddenly walked out from the purple-blue fire in the furnace... Before the figure had completely taken shape, a voice was heard.
"A wise choice, Ms. Joan. You will not regret your request today."
[World], a member of the [Major Arcana], one of the highest councilors of the [New Human] Alliance... has arrived.
"Now, I will clear the enemies for you."
The [World] card's gaze was deep and soon fell on Zhao Le.
