Bang—— With a punch, the cement wall in front of Xu Tong instantly shattered, a large amount of air and dust mixed together, exchanging air within the narrow space where Xu Tong was. Xu Tong was finally able to catch a breath, his body and blood craving air. After finally recovering, Xu Tong wanted to open his eyes, but the glaring light was indeed a bit too stimulating for Xu Tong, who had grown accustomed to the darkness. So, he could only use his hand to shield the direct light, struggling to open his eyes. Click—— A strange sound rang out. Xu Tong slightly raised his head and immediately felt something familiar pressing against his head. It was hard, and slightly rough to the touch. No way... Xu Tong opened his eyes and immediately saw the dark muzzle of a gun pointed at his forehead. The man standing in front of Xu Tong was a fierce-looking middle-aged man with a thick beard and a buzz cut. He had a long scar on his face, and anyone could tell at a glance that he was a ruthless character with considerable combat power.
Facing this man, Xu Tong didn't see the marker mentioned at the beginning of the instance, so this man was not a player, but an NPC within the instance. "Get up," the buzz-cut man said, with a cigarette in his mouth and a fierce tone, "and stand over there with them, if you don't want to die." Xu Tong immediately became curious and turned his gaze to the direction the buzz-cut man was talking about. In the corner, a group of police officers in uniform were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, huddled in the corner, not daring to resist. All their weapons had been removed and piled aside, heavily guarded by the buzz-cut man's companions. Looking around at the surrounding buildings, it was clearly a police station. In other words, the buzz-cut man and his companions stormed into the police station and hijacked it? Now Xu Tong finally understood how chaotic the City of Sin mentioned in the instance description really was. But this was not the most surprising thing for Xu Tong. Because he saw something among the police officers squatting with their heads in their hands. Something floating in mid-air, like artistic lettering, rotating 360 degrees. 「Player: Jia Yuanjia」 There was actually a player mixed in? Seemingly sensing Xu Tong's gaze, Jia Yuanjia, mixed in with the police officers, also turned his head and met Xu Tong's gaze. The two looked at each other, seemingly feeling each other's awkwardness, and didn't speak for a long time. "Over there," the buzz-cut man issued a final warning, "I see that you just escaped from inside and haven't figured out the situation, so I'm giving you another chance. If I have to say it again, I'll shoot you immediately." 【Your brain craves more information. It begs you not to resist for now. It wants to obtain more information about the current situation. If you don't agree, it will kneel down and beg you in anger】 Fine... Xu Tong didn't refuse, put his hands on his head, and came to Jia Yuanjia's side to squat down. Jia Yuanjia looked about the same age as Xu Tong, but his facial bones looked a bit thin and long, giving him a horse-like face.
"What a coincidence," Xu Tong said as soon as he walked over and squatted down, "you got caught too?" Jia Yuanjia said, "I also just entered the instance. As soon as I came in, these guys pointed guns at my head and forced me to squat here." "I'm a member of the Eastern District Countermeasures Bureau, what about you?" Before Xu Tong could answer, the buzz-cut man in the distance seemed to hear the two of them and shouted at them, "No whispering! We're robbing, can you respect us a little!" Watching the buzz-cut man turn his head away, Xu Tong continued, "Do you think we can take this guy down if we work together?" Jia Yuanjia was stunned for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly, "It's best not to. I have a skill that can detect the attributes of the instance NPCs. This NPC's attributes are very high, almost at the level of a cyborg. He's definitely a mini-BOSS level." "Our location must already be known by other players. If we waste skills and equipment to deal with this man now, we'll be taken advantage of by others." His analysis was very insightful, at least it would seem very reasonable to the average person. Even the police officer next to him gave his approval, although he didn't understand what NPC, BOSS, skills, and equipment meant, "You don't want to resist, do you? This guy is one of the leaders of the Razor Gang. I heard that he used to kill twenty or thirty people in a bar with a razor less than the size of his palm! As long as you cooperate obediently, nothing will happen." "If you really resist, you'll not only provoke him, but also the entire Razor Gang! If you want to survive in this city, you have to learn to compromise and fear." For some reason, after hearing these words, Xu Tong's mouth suddenly took a deep breath. 【Your mouth is very excited now because it has tasted the fear from the police officer. This unprecedented delicacy makes your mouth rotate and provides your body with unprecedented motivation】 My mouth... tasted fear? Xu Tong was stunned for a moment, because usually his mouth would only control what he should and shouldn't say, or express his opinions like other parts of his body. It would never taste fear like it did today. This abnormality was caused when he absorbed the outer god's mouthparts... Xu Tong raised his hand and looked at the palm of his left hand. Back then, he absorbed and equipped the outer god's flesh and blood, which was obviously not his hand's original ability. At this moment, Xu Tong suddenly had a bold guess. Absorbing the outer god's body tissue could allow his body to gain a certain degree of ability, or rather... to evolve? An unprecedented power surged through his body, and Xu Tong let out a long breath. 【The police officer's cowardly words and fearful emotions make your bodies feel indignant. They hate these pathetic negative emotions, so they decide to personally demonstrate how the word "resistance" is written】 【In this battle, your movement speed, perception, thinking speed, reaction nerve, and fighting strength will all be increased by 100%】 Seeing Xu Tong suddenly stand up, Jia Yuanjia was shocked, "What are you doing? They have guns!" If it was just one gun, then it wasn't impossible for a player with armor to fight back. But with so many guns, bullets would be shot from all directions, unless you had extraordinary quality armor, there was absolutely no way to block them! What's more, the buzz-cut man's stats were already at the regional BOSS level. It wouldn't be easy to defeat this BOSS, and Xu Tong might even lose all his skills and items here. This was a confrontation instance, and he could stab Xu Tong in the back at any time. Was this guy brainless? Didn't he consider that he might reap the benefits? To fight this kind of regional BOSS, did he think he wouldn't have to use any skills or items? The buzz-cut man also noticed Xu Tong standing up, frowned, and raised the gun in his hand.
"I've already warned you. Since you don't cherish your life, don't blame me." Saying that, the buzz-cut man pulled the trigger in his hand. Bang—— The bullet came out of the muzzle. Jia Yuanjia couldn't even see the bullet's trajectory because it had completely broken through his dynamic vision. So fast, faster than a normal gun! If it was placed on a player's weapon, this would at least be an excellent quality weapon, and its power should not be underestimated! But this bullet didn't hit Xu Tong. The buzz-cut man's pupils dilated slightly, then revealed a look of strong hostility. "You actually..." "Dodged my bullet!?"
