Chapter 256: Playing House Ends Here (6k)
Underground, next to the blood pool.
Li Shuo was admiring the masterpiece in front of him, but suddenly frowned, and his expression changed drastically: "Oh no, those association lackeys are here!"
As a gold-level card maker, it was impossible for Li Shuo to be unaware of the water plant employees who were evacuating on the ground.
Cliff was stunned at first, and then he quickly operated the instrument in his hand: "Why is there no alarm?!"
Out of caution, Cliff hacked into the nearby electronic equipment, and combined with the shielding equipment he brought from the demon army, he could basically ensure that their sacrificial site was extremely secretive.
Not to mention that Li Shuo's cards also have abilities related to concealment.
As for having people monitor it at the water plant above?
That would increase the risk of exposure.
But soon, the two realized what had happened.
It's Russell's tea-haired girl card.
Since the other party had previously demonstrated the ability to manipulate electromagnetic force, he naturally also had the corresponding ability to manipulate electronic equipment. It was just that he had never demonstrated it before so they had never thought about it at all.
However, the plan has reached its final stage now, and there is no way they can just abandon this place and make other plans.
Although he couldn't figure out how the group of association lackeys found this place, Cliff said without hesitation: "Abandon the wedges outside that have not been recovered and proceed directly to the final process. I will take people up to hold them back."
"No time to hesitate!"
As he spoke, the first-level researcher began to operate the instrument in his hand.
Upon hearing this, Li Shuo's face turned extremely ugly. You know, it has not yet reached the most perfect hatching stage. If it forces entering the next stage, no one knows what will happen.
"hateful!!"
"Association running dog!!"
What’s more important is that without those wedges outside, the final result will definitely be greatly reduced.
However, Li Shuo was still decisive. He took a deep breath and immediately summoned his last card [Dangun].
As the middle-aged man in the red dragon robe gradually walked into the blood pool, [Dangun] also slowly drifted away and merged into it.
Just as Cliff said, in Li Shuo's mind at this moment, even if the next process is completely uncontrollable, it is better than being sabotaged by the group of association lackeys above!
How can several years of planning be wasted in one day!
"Russell, I swear to kill you!!"
An angry roar sounded, and Li Shuo's eyes were bloodshot.
The next moment, a huge wave of blood surged up, and together with the giant dragon in the air, it instantly swallowed Li Shuo.
At this time, the employees of the water plant above had basically been evacuated.
Thanks to mechanization, the number of employees in the factory is actually not that large.
Seeing that there were only four gold-level card makers left in the factory, Russell took a deep breath and said calmly, "Do it."
After saying that, several people's cards were ready to destroy the ground.
But the next moment, before they could make any move, the ground collapsed instantly, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from it.
Russell and the other three retreated with solemn expressions, leaving the battlefield to their own cards.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of figures landed steadily on the ground from mid-air, led by Cliff, who had met Russell and the others once.
But at this moment, Cliff's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten **.
It's just like when Russell traveled through time and found that the graduation projects of those agricultural college students were eaten by animals.
Anyone who encounters an emergency at the end of a project will have the same expression as him.
Taking a deep breath, Cliff forced himself to calm down and asked in a deep voice, "How did you find out?"
However, Russell was not prepared to reply.
Not to mention that there is no benefit in answering the other party's doubts. Secondly, anyone who is not a fool knows that the demon on the opposite side is just delaying time.
"It seems that the things below are very important to you."
As Russell finished speaking, his cards suddenly launched a fierce attack.
Seeing that he was not fooled, Cliff's face darkened and he signaled to the members of Guiyi Sect around him with his eyes.
He already knew the details of the last conflict with the young man on the opposite side, so the members of the Guiyi Sect around him at this moment were all at the gold level.
The low-level monsters that came would just help Luffy and Aizen to kill people.
Soon, the gold-level limb-replacing monsters, demons, and card makers affiliated with the Guiyi Sect faced off against Lu Yan and the other two.
Seeing this, Cliff's face gradually calmed down, and he said indifferently: "So what?"
"and"
"Your biggest mistake was coming to me today."
"If we had successfully completed our plan, I think Donglai would not have suffered such great damage."
Russell was not prepared to refute the other party's shameless remarks, because the demon on the other side was just trying to use moral kidnapping to disturb his mind.
Seeing that the young man had no reaction, Cliff curled his lips in boredom.
He dodged a coin and gradually, magical instruments appeared around him, including books, staffs, crystal balls, etc.
"I'm not like that loser Ranid."
"Do you really think you've got me?"
A transparent defensive magic circle was instantly generated, blocking the huge black fist attacking from the side.
Cliff chuckled and flew into the air, fighting as he fled away from the waterworks.
Finally, seeing that only himself, the young man opposite him, and the young man's card were left, he said sarcastically with a slightly cold expression: "In the cage, watch the destruction."
As Cliff's voice rang out, a huge barrier suddenly covered the battlefield where the two were fighting.
"Space barrier?"
Seeing this, Russell frowned slightly. He remembered that when he fought with Lannide before, the other party had also displayed similar methods.
only.
Looking at the barrier in front of him that seemed to be real, Russell immediately asked Misaka Mikoto to use the railgun to test it.
Unlike Lannide's barrier, the barrier cast by Cliff remained motionless after withstanding a hit from the electromagnetic cannon.
At this time, the demon researcher in a white coat said sarcastically: "It's useless. Even if you kill me, you can't get out."
"This is a method our demon army has developed specifically to deal with freaks like you."
After so many years of confrontation with the Ming Dynasty in the north, the demon army has already suffered from all kinds of geniuses.
You have to know that there are gaps between people of the same level. The destructive power caused by a genius is much stronger than that of an ordinary card maker.
The [binding barrier] he has in front of him can completely trap a top-level gold-level being, which is not comparable to a half-baked person like Lannide.
unless
The young man in the distance can temporarily break through to the Emerald level.
But when he thought that even if the other party, as a card maker, broke through to the Emerald Level, he would not have an Emerald Level card for a while, Cliff's face became increasingly malicious.
However, at this moment, a huge black coffin instantly enveloped him.
Aizen said indifferently, "Hado No. 90: Black Coffin."
"boom!"
The next moment, the coffin shattered, and Cliff, with only the corners of his clothes slightly torn, appeared on the scene: "No wonder Lannide died in your hands, and no wonder Li Shuo was beaten like a dead dog by you."
"Russell, you are really strong."
“But it’s a pity.”
"All you've done is just a futile attempt."
"Even the things you protect will eventually be crushed by us."
Hearing this, Russell sighed.
Then a pale figure appeared beside him.
Seeing this, Cliff, who was floating in the air, was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to have another card."
But then he burst out laughing: "But it's just one more gold-level card."
"boom!"
A flash of emerald green light suddenly hit the defensive formation in front of him, raising a cloud of smoke.
"You still can't get out."
When the smoke cleared, Cliff remained as calm as ever.
However, Russell ignored him and just looked at the pale figure beside him: “Leave it to you, Xiao Wu.”
Hearing this, Ulquiorra nodded slightly, "Yes, Master Russell."
Then he drew out the long knife hanging at his waist and pointed it at Cliff in mid-air.
"Seal it down, Blackwing Demon."
In an instant, the dark green spiritual pressure rushed up into the sky, and then dark green spiritual pressure raindrops began to fall heavily within the barrier.
Cliff didn't know that Death cards would only be considered to have normal combat power after being released, and he had never seen Russell's silver-level Neelu.
Therefore, when he felt Ulquiorra's aura suddenly surge, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: "Sure enough, using the [Binding Barrier] is the right choice."
However, just as he was rejoicing, a figure with black wings on his back and holding a green spiritual spear appeared in front of him.
"If this is all your strength, it's really boring."
Although Ulquiorra seems to have a cold personality, he is surprisingly talkative during battle.
As Cliff's pupils contracted, the green spiritual spear had already slashed fiercely at the defensive formation in front of him.
"boom!"
The demon researcher was instantly knocked flying, leaving a long trail in the air and finally crashing into the barrier.
Russell, who was far away, couldn't help but frowned slightly as he looked at the motionless barrier.
The smoke dissipated, and Cliff's face was gloomy at this time. However, before he could say anything, a phantom of a pale palace flashed behind Ulquiorra.
"Venue card?!"
At this time, Xiao Wu in mid-air extended his right index finger with an indifferent expression: "If you want to say something, you have to survive this attack first."
The dark energy instantly gathered at the tip of the index finger, and then suddenly shot towards Cliff, arriving in front of him in an instant.
This is the Black Void Flash that can only be performed after the Ten Blades have returned to their original form with the blessing of [Kyouya Palace].
"boom!"
The earth-shattering explosion sounded all around, but Russell's face darkened: "Run away?"
At this moment, Cliff, who appeared outside the barrier, patted his chest with lingering fear. He just faced the black flash and felt that the sharp weapon called death was already against his throat.
Fortunately, the [binding barrier] can come and go freely for him.
After calming down, he turned to Russell who was still in the barrier and said, "New cards and venue cards."
"Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I would have followed in the footsteps of that idiot Lannide."
"But now."
"You'd better wait to die in the barrier."
After he finished speaking, he flew straight towards the water plant without even looking at Russell's reaction.
Cliff is not a fool. He knows very well that if you can't win, you should run away. After all, you can't expect a scientific researcher like him to fight with the combatants.
Russell inside the barrier had a gloomy expression on his face. He had just used his four cards to attack the barrier with their strongest power, but the barrier remained motionless.
"tsk"
"Or"
At this time, a prop card appeared in his hand.
Looking at the cards who were in a tough battle with the Guiyi Sect members, Lu Yan's face was solemn.
Turning to look at Russell, he found that his president was getting further and further away from the leading demon.
Middle-aged people know that they can only rely on themselves now.
However, before he could give any order, the noise coming from afar attracted his attention.
Suddenly, a huge barrier appeared out of nowhere, covering Russell and the demon together.
"Have you been prepared?"
Seeing this, Lu Yan did not feel panicked. After all, the young man was teleported to some secret place by Guiyi Sect last time and was unharmed, not to mention that this time it was just a barrier. But unfortunately, the middle-aged man did not know that this barrier was just to trap Russell.
Under the gaze of Lu Yan and the other two, the demon that was originally fighting with Russell appeared outside the barrier in a mess, obviously having suffered a great loss.
But after seeing the other party come out and Russell still did not move, the three of them gradually realized what was going on.
However, before they could make any move, the Guiyi Sect members who were originally engaged in a card battle with them suddenly launched an even more violent attack.
In desperation, they could only deal with the group of lunatics in front of them first.
After escaping the barrier, Cliff ignored the association's card makers present and flew underground instead.
The data at the last moment of the experiment was particularly important, and he felt bad for wasting some time dealing with Russell just now.
When he arrived in front of the blood pool, he looked at the dried blood pool and the giant red dragon hovering above it with its eyes closed. He was a little surprised for a moment: "It actually worked?"
Cliff didn't expect that Li Shuo could actually do this.
You know, without those eggs outside, the red dragon in front of you would be equivalent to a premature baby.
No, it's more serious than a premature baby. To be precise, it's the placenta.
As if sensing the arrival of the demon researcher, the dragon suddenly opened its copper bell-like eyes and heard Li Shuo's voice: "Cliff"
"I have lost all my ordinaryness"
The voice like a huge bell suddenly stopped, and then Li Shuo's voice switched to that of a young man: "Father!"
"for"
Before he could finish his words, the voice switched back to Li Shuo's.
At this time, the red dragon closed his eyes tiredly: "Cliff, you saw it too."
"The sublimation was not successful, but my son's will still exists."
"Although I can suppress his consciousness, it is not perfect after all."
"and"
“The force did not live up to expectations.”
Cliff touched his chin when he heard this: "I can't solve your son's problem for now, let's think of a solution later."
"As for strength."
"There is a way to solve it."
As he spoke, a malicious smile appeared on his face: "Although the wedge has not been recovered, as long as you can swallow those carriers, you can still obtain most of the power in the plan."
“This can be considered a disguised form of recycling.”
After saying this, Cliff said nothing more, but just waited quietly for the dragon in front of him to make a decision.
The choice he gave actually concealed evil intentions. If Li Shuo really chose to devour those carriers in Donglai, he would probably not be able to return to Goryeo alive.
Do you really think the association is blind?
He said this just to collect more data for his experiment.
But after hearing what Cliff said, Li Shuo suddenly became angry: "Yes."
"Yes!"
"As long as I can swallow those wedges, I can still achieve perfection!"
"And the association, and Russell!"
"Hahahahahaha, I have already shed my mortal body, who can stop me!"
Looking at Li Shuo who was gradually falling into madness in front of him, Cliff's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself: "It turns out that it's not just as simple as the original body's consciousness not being cleaned up."
"It's obvious that Li Shuo's spirit has been affected."
"Sure enough, this project still has a lot of loopholes."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
However, Li Shuo had no idea what the demon in front of him was thinking. At this moment, his huge body suddenly climbed upwards, broke through the ground and flew into the air.
"Roar!"
The terrifying roar instantly blew away the clouds for several kilometers around.
Lu Yan and the other two stared blankly at the giant red dragon surging in the sky.
".Emerald level?"
Before the three could react, the giant red dragon in their eyes had already lowered its head and rushed towards the city.
The expressions of the three men changed drastically. Although they didn't know what the red dragon was going to do, it was obvious that the other party was the trump card of Guiyi Sect.
If it really rushed into the city, I'm afraid Donglai would be eliminated from the Ming Dynasty today.
However, at this time, the members of Guiyi Sect who were originally entangled with them took the initiative to stop fighting and retreated together.
This was naturally an order given by Cliff.
Now that the plan has been completed, there is no need for the Guiyi Sect to waste energy here.
This is a good opportunity for the association to test the difference between Li Shuo's combat power and that of a normal Emerald Level.
As for Li Shuo.
In Cliff's eyes, middle-aged people are no longer useful.
With the data in hand, it would not be difficult for their demon army to replicate such inferior experimental products.
Although they didn't understand what was happening, Lu Yan and the other two were not prepared to continue the stalemate, so they immediately turned around and rushed towards the dragon.
"Xiao Liu, go see if you can help the president out of this predicament. Director Zeng and I will go back to the city to provide support."
"Yes."
At this moment in the barrier, Russell was looking anxiously at the little crow in front of him who was wrapped in a pale giant cocoon.
“No one told me that I would have to wait so long after using it.”
He originally thought that even if he gave it to Xiao Wu, the other party would only evolve step by step like Aizen.
But who would have thought that the little crow would become motionless after being wrapped in the pale giant cocoon.
“No wonder it’s an imperfect broken jade.”
He now understood why this broken jade was only of gold grade despite so many restrictions.
Russell was not trapped in the prison gate like the prison warden, so he could still see the big commotion outside just now.
“I hope I can catch up.”
Although he still didn't know what Xiao Wu would become, the aura emitted by the giant cocoon was already making him feel a little frightened.
At the headquarters of the Donglai Card Makers Association, Yu Hengrui was sitting in front of a large group of card makers with his eyes closed.
Now that Russell and the other three have left, he is the only one who can make the decision at the headquarters.
The card makers below couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Don’t they know what the director in front of the crowd is like on a daily basis?
I didn't expect that he would be willing to take the lead at a time like this.
"I don't know how the president and the others are doing." Yu Hengrui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
However, the next moment, the middle-aged man's expression changed drastically.
He sensed an extremely powerful aura falling from the sky.
"Alert! Evacuate!"
"boom!"
Yu Hengrui only had time to utter two brief words before he was instantly thrown away by the violent shock wave.
"Ahem. Wow."
The huge impact force triggered the middle-aged man's old injury, causing him to spit out a large mouthful of blood.
He struggled to get up and looked at the scene in front of him in a daze.
At this time, the association's headquarters had been reduced to ruins.
A giant red dragon was rummaging around in the ruins.
Yu Hengrui's eyes widened in disbelief, and words like a dream came out of his mouth: ".Emerald level."
The next moment, he suddenly woke up, cold sweat covered his back involuntarily: "President, they won't..."
The director of the human resources department, who had an old injury, wanted to run away immediately, but he turned around and stopped after taking a few steps.
Where else can he escape to?
Day and night, he dreamed of that nightmarish night every night.
Thinking of this, Yu Hengrui gritted his teeth, turned around, and yelled: "Damn it, you and me."
Before he could finish his words, the giant red dragon was in front of him, and its huge claws pressed him to the ground.
"strangeness."
"You smell so good, but why don't you have a wedge?"
The dragon's somewhat doubtful voice reached Yu Hengrui's ears.
However, before the middle-aged man could understand the meaning, the dragon began to swing its tail angrily.
"Why not?!"
"Why not?!"
It was as if an earthquake had occurred, and the ground began to shake uncontrollably under the beating of the dragon's tail.
Just when Yu Hengrui felt that he would not live long, the red dragon suddenly stopped moving.
"found it"
After saying this, it dropped the middle-aged man in its claws and instantly soared into the sky.
Looking at the direction the dragon left, Yu Hengrui felt a chill all over his body.
That is
Directions to the hospital.
In the hospital, Duan Lin was leaning tiredly against the head of the bed.
Just yesterday morning, he suddenly received a message from the association asking him to go to the hospital because his health had been deteriorating.
At this moment, there were several patients lying on the beds next to him who were exactly the same as him, with haggard faces and shriveled bodies. It was obvious that they had the same problem.
A patient asked weakly, "So the association has a way to treat it?"
Duan Lin replied casually: "That should be the case, otherwise they wouldn't let us gather together."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his heart suddenly stopped for a moment.
At this moment, in his eyes, a huge eyeball was staring at them through the window of the ward.
"found it"
What did you find?
Before Duan Lin could wonder, the wall disappeared.
As the wall disappeared, he realized that the outside of the hospital was already in chaos.
At this time, most of the residents in this area had already seen the giant dragon that was wreaking havoc in the sky, and had also seen the devastated city caused by the dragon.
However, the dragon ignored the cries and screams everywhere, and stretched out its claws towards the hospital with bloodshot eyes.
Just as the patients gathered in the hospital were feeling desperate, a calm voice reached the ears of everyone present.
"So much for playing house."
The next moment, a pale palm was already imprinted on the red dragon's head.
"boom!"
The giant dragon flew backwards in an instant, leaving a long scar in the city.
At this moment, everyone present, whether it was the card makers who came to evacuate the crowd or the chaotic residents, stared blankly at the black and white figure in the air.
Duan Lin stared blankly at the black-green feather that fell into his palm.
Looking up again, two pairs of pitch-black wings appeared in his eyes, stretching out wantonly to show their presence.
