“This kid can’t be killed.” The man in the top hat looked at the woman.
Chen Xiao felt a sense of relief... No matter what, he really didn't have much confidence in fighting these two men in top hats.
"If you want to take action, then please. We brothers are not going to play along."
After saying that, the two men in top hats strolled leisurely toward Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao quickly became wary, but the two men in top hats actually walked around Chen Xiao from a distance and left far behind! They quickly disappeared into the passageway behind the ship.
"Huh? What's gotten into these two guys all of a sudden?" The woman frowned.
Four of the five guys have been eliminated, leaving only one. Chen Xiao dared not relax.
"Alright, it seems I'll have to do it then." The woman sighed. "Sigh, I'm a woman, you know. If men are all lazy, do you expect women to beat them to death?"
After saying that, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she slowly swayed her waist as she gracefully walked towards Chen Xiao!
Chen Xiao was somewhat at a loss because of her actions—this woman walked towards him as if she were completely unprepared, and every move she made was full of flaws!
Finally, when the other person walked right up to him, Chen Xiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and reach out to grab his shoulder.
But when his fingers landed on the other person's shoulder, it was as if he was grasping at thin air! The woman was clearly standing in front of him, but she seemed like a phantom shadow. Chen Xiao's hand easily passed through her body, but he couldn't grasp even the slightest bit of her.
The woman's smile turned sinister, and she suddenly reached out and poked Chen Xiao's eyes!
Chen Xiao was horrified and quickly leaped backward to dodge, while simultaneously launching a kick at the woman!
call!!
The kick aimed at the woman's waist, but it missed completely! The leg swept across her left side, passing right through her body, yet it seemed to land on thin air!
Chen Xiao was startled, and then he saw the woman raise her hand and grab his ankle!
Chen Xiao immediately struggled instinctively, but then felt his legs loosen, and the woman's hand seemed to turn into thin air again!
This is unbelievable! The woman is right in front of me, yet she's like a shadow—I can't hit her, I can't touch her!
"I'm not fighting anymore!" The woman suddenly frowned and quickly took two steps back.
"I'm not fighting anymore! I'm not fighting anymore!" she sighed. "You can't hit me, and I can't hurt you either. Continuing to fight like this is just a waste of time."
"you……"
"Hmph, my superpower is body virtualization." The woman smiled. "When I virtualize myself, I can pass through any object... and at the same time, none of your physical attacks can hit me."
Physical attacks are ineffective?
So... perhaps psychological attacks could work?
Unfortunately, Chen Xiao doesn't possess the ability to launch mental attacks... He can exert a little bit of mental interference, but at most he can only make the opponent nervous or add a little bit of fear. This is still from Alice's Poison Woman's superpower (Alice's superpowers are poison and mental hallucinations).
The woman looked at Chen Xiao and suddenly said, "Don't be too happy yet. Our boss is still on the ship. Although I can't beat you, if you run into our boss, you'll die a horrible death."
Then she shook her head and sighed, "What a pity, such a fine young man, yet he chose to court death."
After saying that, she actually smiled at Chen Xiao, turned around and left.
Chen Xiao felt somewhat lost. He had already mustered all his strength, but apart from the black man he had knocked down, the others either deliberately held back or left on their own... He had mustered all his fighting spirit, but it felt as if he was hanging in mid-air, unable to go up or down, which made him feel somewhat frustrated.
But after all... it's always better not to risk your life.
But... is there another "boss" on the ship that this woman mentioned?
Is there a sixth superhuman on board?
Our own detection radar didn't detect it.
Yaxin struggled to his feet. He gave Chen Xiao a forced smile, but still walked over and picked up the black man whose ribs Chen Xiao had broken. The black man had already passed out. Yaxin lifted his legs up and held him upside down. He nodded to Chen Xiao and was about to leave.
"you……"
“I’ll leave by boat right away…” Yaxin shook his head: “I made a mistake coming here today.”
"Who exactly are you people?"
Yaxin glanced at Chen Xiao: "I'm just a mercenary. As for these guys... I'm sorry, I can't tell you their background. That's the rule."
"Mercenaries?" Chen Xiao understood: "Like the Black Knights?"
"Haha! Almost! But I'm not one of the Black Knights. I'm just a lone mercenary; I work for whoever pays the highest price."
Yashin's expression turned ruthless. He looked at the black man he was carrying and sneered, "This guy almost poisoned me just now. I'm going to take him back and teach this bastard a lesson."
Yaxin then looked at Chen Xiao: "You... want to stop them from sinking this ship? I'm sorry, I can't help you. I can quit, but I can't lay a hand on my employer, that's the rule! And... even if I wanted to help you, I couldn't."
As he spoke, he pointed to the drainage hatch in front of him: "Drainage hatch number one is already full of water, and numbers two and three will soon begin to release water as well... You can't stop it!"
"Why?"
Yasin sighed: "Come with me."
He led Chen Xiao to the doors of two other drainage tanks at the bottom of the bow. These tanks were not yet filled with water. At Yasin's instruction, Chen Xiao opened the doors, only to be immediately stunned!
On the ship's walls, several metal containers resembling cake boxes were fixed in place! They were covered with detonators and control wires...
"A bomb?" Chen Xiao frowned.
“I think unless you’re a bomb disposal expert, you might have a chance to get rid of these things.” Yashin shook his head: “The remote controls for these bombs are in their boss’s hands. They have a schedule. We just came down to put all these bombs in the drainage tank at the bow of the ship, and then, according to the schedule, he will detonate these bombs and flood the ship.”
Defusing bombs... Chen Xiao is definitely not a professional at this.
