Chapter 59: A series of traps, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind
In the dense forest, the sound of rapidly advancing footsteps trampled on the fallen leaves piled on the ground, making bursts of noise.
After going deeper for about a minute, Shugou's footsteps gradually stopped.
What appeared before her was an extremely spacious open space.
Surrounded by tall trees on all sides, sunlight falls through the gaps between the branches above.
Not dim, but not bright either.
Birds are circling overhead and insects are chirping in the woods.
The breeze blew on my face and the leaves rustled.
What a peaceful and tranquil scene.
"Come out."
Shu Gou stared intently, staring at a corner of the open space in front of him, which seemed relatively dark.
Tapping.
The sound of slow footsteps came.
A figure came out in response.
A gray windbreaker, a satin long skirt, the ice-blue hair was replaced by black, and there was a white skull mask on her face.
"No matter if you are the first Rat or not, I don't care what your goal is."
"But being an enemy of Shenqi is undoubtedly a foolish choice."
Shu Gou spoke calmly, quietly looking at Cang Xuanyue who was walking towards him.
The skull mask on the opponent's face symbolizes the Shenqi organization, but Shugou asked himself that judging from the opponent's body shape, it was somewhat different from the Rat in his memory.
"You are cooperating with the Luo Group, using living people for experiments, and lurking in Dragon City. What are you planning?"
Facing Shu Gou's words, Cang Xuan Yue turned a deaf ear to them, walked slowly, and turned the tables:
"The eleventh Earthly Branch, the Dog, possesses the ability to nullify."
"Shenqi sent you here just to protect a young boy? It's a bit of a waste of your talent."
After hearing this, Shugou narrowed her eyes slightly, and she tilted her ears slightly, alert.
"It seems that you know a lot about divine revelation. The precise title of Earthly Branches is not something that outsiders can know."
"[Brain Computing Power]?"
"【Ice Control】?"
"Or [Physical Enhancement]?"
"Which one is your ability?"
Shugou's tone became increasingly progressive, and the scope of the power's nullification had already been quietly expanded.
At this moment, Cang Xuanyue was completely exposed to the other party's sight, and her special abilities had lost their effectiveness.
"The power is nullified... It's really an unfair power..."
Feeling the suppressed supernatural power in her body, Cang Xuanyue's eyes fixed under the mask. She raised her hand slightly, trying to use the power to control the ice, but failed to stir up any icy flowers.
"It seems that my ability has indeed been restricted by you."
"The ability to control ice?" Not far away, Shu Gou noticed the movements of Cang Xuanyue's hands, and the vigilance in his heart disappeared for the most part.
The use of [brain computing power] does not require any physical movement.
The man who killed all the investigation team during the cleanup that night was suspected to be a person with physical enhancement abilities, most likely a male.
So, excluding all other possibilities, the Cang Xuanyue in front of us is most likely the [Yu Bing] who set the trap in Chunlei Hotel.
"For a superpower like you, there is no limit to your reliance on superpowers. If you lose your powers, what is the difference between you and an ordinary person?"
A confident smile appeared on Shugou's face.
"If you can tell me your purpose and where the others are now, it is not impossible for us to recruit you into the organization when the organization's people arrive."
As she spoke, she walked towards Cang Xuanyue in front of her, with her hands behind her, already gathering strength in preparation for an attack.
"There are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests. The Luo Group is so arrogant that it occupies Longcheng. Aren't they still willing to cooperate with us?"
"What's more, you are weak and alone?" The voice of the guard dog kept coming to his ears, but Cang Xuanyue remained unmoved.
He stood there, looking up slightly as if waiting for something.
brush--
A bird with bright feathers flew across the sky.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Cang Xuanyue's eyes.
"Two seconds after the bird flew by..."
She raised her head and whispered:
"one."
"What?" The approaching guard dog looked puzzled and frowned.
"two!"
The next moment, a strong fear spread in Shugou's heart!
"Oh no!" She subconsciously wanted to jump up to avoid the unknown danger.
however!
Click, click, click! !
Lines of ice crystals suddenly spread out from under his body!
Along with the piles of fallen leaves and soil on the forest floor, everything was frozen into pure white!
Imprisoned in the icicles from bottom to top were Shugou's legs! !
The biting cold strongly stimulated her nerves!
"Impossible! How is this possible?! Your ability should be ineffective!"
"Even an Alpha-level mutant will be greatly weakened under my influence!"
The dog struggled hard, but his legs were bound tightly, and it would take some time for him to break free.
She looked around warily, "Are you not the owner of [Ice Control]? Impossible, I can't sense anyone else!"
"I'm certainly not an alpha."
"As you guessed, I am the owner of [Ice Control]."
"It's true that my ability has temporarily disappeared because of you."
Cang Xuanyue, wearing a white skull mask, took one step at a time, speaking in a light tone.
She looked at the panicked Shugou, and the hatred in her heart was gradually aroused.
The person in front of him was also a participant in the death of his brother!
"How could that be?!" Shu Gou couldn't believe it. At this moment, she was racking her brain but couldn't figure out how the current situation came about!
“Could it be…?!!”
At this moment, Shugou suddenly thought of the trap set at Chunlei Hotel a few days ago.
Ice spread from under the floor.
At that time, I sensed that there was no one else around!
"You guessed it right..."
Cang Xuanyue's eyes revealed a strange smile.
She lowered her voice, her voice full of temptation,
"Who stipulated that this ambush must be set by me?"
"If a trap is set by a superpower who is beyond your control, your ability... will be useless..."
"You should have thought it through when you were at the Spring Thunder Hotel."
At this moment, Shugou's eyes widened and fear spread in his heart.
Of course she had thought about it, but Cang Xuanyue was standing in front of her clearly, and her supernatural powers had been affected. No matter how hard she tried, she would never have thought that there was someone else who set the ambush!
From awakening her superpowers to joining Shenqi, she has always relied on her own abilities, and has caused countless superpowers who are higher in level than her to suffer setbacks.
Her excessive self-confidence makes her rely on her supernatural powers far more than others.
"So... I'm the one who relies too much on my supernatural powers..."
"Ha ha……"
Shu Gou lowered his head, gave a bitter smile, and then, with his eyes wide open, he stared fiercely at Cang Xuanyue who was gradually approaching.
"Why? Did you set up a trap like this just to trap me?"
"You dare not kill members of the Earthly Branches casually, otherwise, Shenqi will regard you as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh! Endlessly hunt you down!"
"Not killing you?" Cang Xuanyue stopped, she smiled, her body trembling slightly.
"How did you come up with such an outrageous conclusion?"
"But before that, let's first solve your troublesome ability..."
