56 Chapter - Rescue Mode Started

Tang Zhuo was running away while holding his phone.

He looked flustered, as if trying to contact someone.

His perception in the mist was incredibly strong.

Even an Esper a level higher than him couldn't do anything to him.

But now, Tang Zhuo could clearly feel someone seemingly chasing him from behind.

It was as if he had been successfully locked onto!

Just then, the call finally connected.

Tang Zhuo was immediately overjoyed.

"Hello! Quickly send someone to save me! I've made up my mind, I'll join you guys, but someone is chasing me now, send people to rescue me first!"

"Who's chasing you? The Countermeasure Bureau?"

A muffled voice came from the other end of the phone.

Tang Zhuo quickly replied: "I don't know, I don't know their identity, it's definitely not the Countermeasure Bureau, it might be Espers from other factions!"

"This is getting interesting."

"Please don't be 'interesting'! I'm about to die!" Tang Zhuo was so anxious he almost cursed.

This idiot, at a time like this, still had the mind to gossip.

Was his life not a life?

Fortunately, the other party quickly asked for his location.

"Where are you?"

"I'm in..."

Before Tang Zhuo could finish speaking, a ghostly figure rushed behind him.

A flash of a blade!

The blade fell without mercy.

There wasn't a single wasted word throughout.

"Chhh!!!"

The blade cut through flesh as if slicing vegetables, without any obstruction.

A B-rank Esper was like an ant before an A-rank Esper.

Without any ability to resist.

"...Execution successful."

Sequence 096 maintained his running posture, charged forward for a distance, then fell to the ground and slid for several meters, unable to utter another word.

The other party's phone dropped at Gu Wenxin's feet.

He picked it up and saw that the screen was still lit.

"Who is Your Excellency? Would you mind stating your name?"

The person on the other end of the phone didn't seem panicked or regretful about the death of Sequence 096.

Instead, he calmly asked for Gu Wenxin's name.

Gu Wenxin made no sound, tossed the phone into the air, and sliced it into pieces with his blade.

The mist dissipated.

The night lights once again allowed everyone to regain their vision.

The ambulance that had rushed over could finally begin its rescue.

But this also exposed his position.

The Espers from the Countermeasure Bureau had arrived.

Mu Luo had only drawn away the main force; another team was coming to deal with Sequence 096's matter.

But now, Sequence 096 was already dead.

The most conspicuous was Gu Wenxin, holding a long blade with a sharp aura.

"It really is Sequence 011! Prepare to apprehend him!"

Three Espers surrounded Gu Wenxin from three directions.

The Espers dispatched had already memorized all the information on the escaped high-risk sequences.

Upon seeing Gu Wenxin, they could react immediately.

Gu Wenxin stood still, scanning the three people around him.

All three Espers had A-rank spiritual power.

Two were slightly over a thousand, and one was slightly over two thousand.

Gu Wenxin could fight to a draw, or even win, with his own spiritual power of nearly three thousand and other excellent attribute panels.

But the tricky part was that more support from the Countermeasure Bureau was on the way.

"Gu Wenxin, surrender. Considering you were taken away by Sequence 012 and didn't escape on your own, we can give you a chance."

"I won't go back."

Gu Wenxin drew his long blade, his expression calm as he faced the encirclement of the three.

The three looked solemn.

Early assessments of Sequence Espers relied on Prophet's ability.

Gu Wenxin's secrets had long been exposed by Prophet.

As Sequence 011.

He was a high-risk sequence infinitely close to the top ten.

His danger was beyond doubt.

Slaying evil, slaying evil, but what exactly is evil?

Perhaps only Gu Wenxin himself could define it.

Once he falls into darkness, deceiving his own heart, everything in the world can become evil.

Then, what awaits everyone is a high-risk Esper who can deal several times the damage to anything.

His three thousand spiritual power, when facing an extremely evil person, could even be used as six thousand or more spiritual power.

He wasn't ranked in the top ten simply because he couldn't cause massive destruction.

All his abilities were only targeted at people.

But even so.

The Countermeasure Bureau had to capture and control him before he went astray.

The three Espers exchanged a knowing glance and rushed towards Gu Wenxin together.

The battle erupted.

At the same time.

Ye Yao and the other three finally arrived nearby but did not reveal their presence.

"Why are they fighting?"

Ye Yao was a little surprised to see Gu Wenxin engaging in battle with three Espers.

Xia Lian was accustomed to it.

"Isn't this normal? The Countermeasure Bureau won't ignore an escaped high-risk sequence. If I go out, I'll definitely be targeted by experts too."

Ye Yao looked at Gu Wenxin, who was caught in a deadlock, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

This guy isn't going ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) to get into trouble here, is he?

After all, the Espers of the Countermeasure Bureau were not evil people.

Gu Wenxin's ability couldn't cause special attack effects.

Relying solely on a slight numerical advantage, he really couldn't get away quickly.

Plus, the Espers of the Countermeasure Bureau had very high experience and synergy, so it was possible they could actually take down the 'blank slate' Gu Wenxin in the end!

"How about you, Xia Lian, go help him?"

Xia Lian was a little surprised: "Do you really want me to go? If the Countermeasure Bureau discovers my whereabouts, they might send out S-rank Espers."

It was then that Ye Yao remembered that the seemingly delicate girl beside her was Sequence 009.

A single-digit high-risk sequence.

Once her whereabouts were discovered by the Countermeasure Bureau, they would definitely dispatch S-rank Espers to apprehend her.

How fast could an S-rank Esper be dispatched?

Ye Yao thought of her strict father.

If he was the standard, he might be able to reach the scene in a few breaths.

"Then how about I go?" Ye Yao pointed at herself, asking tentatively.

Xia Lian decisively voted against it, shaking her head repeatedly.

"No, no, if you make a move, it means you'll be going back soon, and I still want you to stay a little longer!"

Ye Yao turned to look at Wu Mi beside her.

"Eh? Me, me go?"

Wu Mi pointed at herself hesitantly, appearing very unconfident.

You, this loli with only two-digit stats, should just be a mascot.

Ye Yao looked up.

Jiang Huashen had stood on a high place at some point, gazing into the distance.

Looking at the chaotic streets and the wailing traffic.

The young man couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Human suffering, the clashes between Espers, it is often ordinary people who suffer more. How can such a sight not make one's heart ache."

【Jiang Huashen gained inspiration, rewarded 5 attribute points.】

Good heavens, you're getting into it!

Ye Yao counted, adding the head Gu Wenxin had just taken.

There was a total gain of 10 attribute points tonight.

Sequence 096 provided 3 attribute points, and the four miscellaneous fish provided 2 attribute points.

The family activity was not over yet.

Otherwise, there should have been more rewards.

Ye Yao refocused her attention on the battlefield.

She only hoped that Mu Luo could return quickly to support Gu Wenxin, and then they could retreat together.

Of course.

The prerequisite was that Gu Wenxin could hold out until then.

Clearly, he couldn't.

The Countermeasure Bureau, upon learning there was a big fish, had mobilized all its forces.

They originally thought it was only Sequence 096.

Who would have thought that Sequence 011 would appear!

Gu Wenxin, who was in a stalemate with the three Espers, instantly felt immense pressure.

It was as if a hundred-ton king had fallen upon him.

"Boom!"

The ground instantly caved in.

Dense cracks appeared beneath the young man's feet.

Gu Wenxin could no longer hold on, kneeling on one knee, his skin tearing from the pressure, seeping a large amount of blood!

A figure floated in the air, seemingly able to manipulate gravity at will.

"S-rank..."

Gu Wenxin gritted his teeth, forcing out two words, his heart filled only with helplessness.

He was afraid he wouldn't be able to go back this time.

Ye Yao stared blankly at this scene.

【Family member in mortal danger, rescue mode activated.】
