Zhou Jinru couldn't evaluate the power of Xing Xiong's knife, but judging from the fact that she cut open her black trench coat, she should be merciful.
"Sure enough, every tank has a heart for output."
Long before Xingxiong made his second slash, Zhou Jinru had already used subjective time to avoid it. At 0.2x speed, the ghost clan's eldest sister's fake moves were as funny as a comedy show.
Xing Xiong only felt that the man in front of her was moving very fast, faster than her knife, and the black windbreaker was flying towards her.
"Is this your Origin Stone skill?"
Xing Xiong was surprised for a moment. Her speed suddenly increased. She didn't stop after the volley sword missed, and then pounced on her with another sword blow.
Zhou Jinru was shocked, because Xingxiong's appearance was completely different now. There was a faint mist around her, there was a faint red glimmer in her eyes, and there was even a ferocious ghost shadow lingering around her.
The star bear in the sitcom actually liberated his power!
How much strength does she have in reality? !
Zhou Jinru didn't dare to be careless, because when Xing Xiong released his power, his overall strength increased significantly, and his speed alone was only slightly slower than when he was subjective.
Xing Xiong rushed forward. Suddenly, her mind went blank for only a second. She quickly reacted and waved the long knife in her hand. The light of the knife flashed and the sound of breaking wind was made.
Zhou Jinru, who was observing not far away, frowned. The mental shock only affected Star Bear for a brief second. This may be because the resistance also increased when the power was released. It was basically the same stun time as Tallulah.
He held a cane in his hand. Usually this cane was a symbol of civilization, but under special circumstances it was a useful weapon.
Xingxiong, who was dizzy for a second, walked around him vigilantly, keeping alert while waiting for opportunities to move. He held the long knife in front of him with both hands, moving forward to attack and retreating to defend.
Suddenly, before anyone moved, the wind started to move. Zhou Jinru retreated quickly, raised his cane and thrust it forward, hitting Xing Xiong's sword with a clang. His arm went numb, knowing that he did not have the capital to fight head-on, so he used it immediately. Subjectively, it slowly accelerated itself, and Xing Xiong's sword seemed to have eyes, following closely behind him, heading straight for his chest.
Zhou Jinru threw off his windbreaker and was only wearing a thin white shirt. His top hat had fallen somewhere. He lifted his cane back and hit Xing Xiong's blade. He swung away to pursue him. Then he tiptoed and flew into the air. Get up, turn over the piled goods, and land between the cargo frames.
The next second, the cargo frame in front of him was torn apart. Xing Xiong's long knife was thrust forward. Zhou Jinru saw it clearly. He held the cane in his right hand and raised it diagonally upwards. Instead of retreating, he advanced. Due to the inertia and strength, the blade of the knife was close to the goods. The cane slashed at the fingers.
"Psychic shock!"
The two of them were close at hand. Zhou Jinru launched another mental attack and hit the star bear accurately. The stun time was still only one second, but it was enough for the battle. He let go of his cane and let the long knife fall on his shoulder, slashing. A string of sparks burst out from the rigid shield.
Since Xing Xiong was in a dazed state when he slashed out this sword, he didn't have much time to stop and could only watch the sword fall.
"Plop!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
When Chen, who knew nothing about the actual situation, saw this scene, he struggled and fell down with the seat under him, letting out a series of unexplained sobs.
A second passed in a blink of an eye. When Xingxiong came to her senses, she only had time to see the man in front of her raise his fist and hit her on the wrist that was holding the knife. Her slash was ineffective and failed to cause any damage.
Bang!
The moment the long knife fell to the ground, Zhou Jinru turned sideways and slammed into Xingxiong with his chopped shoulder.
He is not Silver Gray, and he cannot wield a sword even with a cane, but Xingxiong has a long knife, which is far more powerful than the cane. No matter how he hits him, he will suffer losses. However, Xingxiong in the melodrama controls several places. The top fighter of the big family of Kuaishou, both in terms of combat awareness and combat experience, she is extremely rich in combat awareness and combat experience. Even if she is hit by a mental shock, it seems that she will be absolutely stunned for a second, but she has already taken precautions, and her moves are all sudden at the right place. dizziness, so the truly effective stun time is less than half a second.
During the several rounds of dealing with Xingxiong, Zhou Jinru had been thinking about the response plan, and finally decided on the plan of disarming first and then counterattacking.
Not only did Xingxiong not panic after his sword was knocked off, but his eyes were filled with brilliance, as if he had seen a monkey with bananas, a drunkard with fine wine, and an otaku with the Paper Man's wife.
But she didn't show mercy at all. She grabbed Zhou Jinru by the collar and threw him far away. The latter stumbled and tried his best to stand still.
"You are so strong. If you compete purely with strength, I have no chance of winning."
Zhou Jinru's crooked body was like a clumsy duck. He took several steps in succession before he stabilized.
Even without weapons, Star Bear is still terrifyingly powerful with her bare hands. Her muscles are so tight that every step she takes makes people feel like the earth is shaking.
In reality, she is the strongest shield of the Longmen Guards Bureau. The characteristic of the shield is that it cannot be shaken and cannot be easily defeated.
Zhou Jinru made a feint and used subjective timing to accelerate away from Xingxiong and went straight to Chen. He moved extremely fast and reached out to lift up the chair that had fallen to the side. Chen had been lying on the ground for a while.
He had no time to pull out the towel from Chen's mouth and stepped back. Xing Xiong caught up from behind and took control of Chen.
"How many times did you chop me?"
Zhou Jinru stood opposite Xingxiong, reached out to unbutton his shirt, took a deep breath, and felt the blood all over his body jumping for joy.
"One knife."
Xingxiong raised a finger. The only one she really hit was the one that Zhou Jinru didn't dodge.
Zhou Jinru nodded, his expression neither happy nor sad:
"Two more knives."
He changed his previous behavior of avoiding the battle and whispered: "Lighthouse."
Strong light burst out from above his head, and Xingxiong seemed to have been prepared for it. The moment Zhou Jinru raised her hand, she suddenly lowered her head and put on a protective mask that functioned as sunglasses.
The purpose of using the lighthouse was first to confirm that there were no problems with the few people present, and secondly to use it as a flash bomb. To Zhou Jinru's surprise, Shi Xingxiong did not suffer any special damage, let alone be affected.
She was prepared.
But being prepared is not enough.
At the same time that Xing Xiong put on the protective mask, Zhou Jinru appeared in front of her, raised his fist and smashed the mask down.
The dark green-haired ghost raised his arms and held Zhou Jinru's fist. Her knees sank. Unexpectedly, this man was so powerful? !
not enough!
Zhou Jinru's breathing became heavier and heavier. A humanoid shadow appeared behind him. He made the same move as him and punched down from top to bottom. The ghost clan's shadow suddenly appeared above Xingxiong's head and he raised his hand. The shield!
The moment when the fist and the shield collided was silent, because they were just shadows and could not make a sound when they collided with each other. Star Bear's long hair fluttered in the wind, and the ghost shadow above her head punched the humanoid shadow, and the one in her hand The shield broke inch by inch, turning into countless light spots and dissipating.
"Stop! Stop fighting!"
Chen yelled as she tried to spit out the towel. She struggled to stand up, but the rope firmly fixed her to the chair and she couldn't move at all.
Xing Xiong covered his mouth and coughed a few times, staring at the human figure behind him, and said hoarsely: "I surrender, you win."
Zhou Jinru didn't say anything, glanced at Xingxiong, picked up the long knife on the ground, walked towards Chen, and cut the rope that tied her.
"Are you OK?"
Faced with Chen's concern, Zhou Jinru turned around and said calmly: "Can I take her away?"
"Yes, you beat me, the honor belongs to you, you can take her away."
Zhou Jinru nodded and said nothing more. The human figure immediately dissipated. He picked up the scratched black windbreaker and pulled Chen out of the warehouse.
Xingxiong just watched them leave without saying anything.
"Are you injured? I saw her chop you."
Zhou Jinru shook his head: "I have a shield, so she can't hurt me. In fact, I didn't cause any substantial harm to her."
Between two people with shields, neither of them will be injured until the shield value is exhausted, unless there is real damage that can penetrate the shield, but neither of them will.
He pulled Chen forward, who was a little uneasy. After a long time, Chen took the initiative to let go of his hand, clasped his hands together and raised them above his head. The girl blushed:
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"
"You really don't need to apologize, it's not your fault."
Zhou Jinru sighed. He sensed the other party's inner emotions even before Xing Xiong had time to stop him from slashing the knife. Coupled with the protective mask that Xing Xiong prepared in advance, it was basically confirmed that this farce was jointly planned by Chen and Xing Xiong. .
Because the only person who knew that he had abilities similar to flash bombs was Chen, Xingxiong had no way of knowing.
Since Xing Xiong can liberate power and his strength is so solid, it means that Chen's strength will only become stronger. After all, it is the level and specialization he has developed with reason.
But the situation that appeared in front of him was that Chen was tied up in the warehouse, uninjured, and the clothes on his body did not even show signs of fighting. This can only show that Chen was captured without mercy. In other words, these two people acted out a show.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me."
Zhou Jinru pressed down Chen's hand and rubbed the mark on her wrist where the rope had strangled her: "Xing Xiong must have told you this method, right?"
"Uh, how do you know?"
I still have to guess, can you come up with this method?
Zhou Jinru was angry and funny. His clothes were ruined, he hadn't eaten dinner yet, and he had experienced a high-intensity battle. His stomach had already begun to complain. He pointed to a nearby store that was still open: "Looking for a place to eat, I I’m almost starving, and this dress is useless, so I’ll send the bill to Xingxiong and ask her to pay for it.”
"Let's go buy new ones tomorrow."
"You still have to go to work, so you don't have to worry about me. Besides, do you want to file a record of what happened today?"
Chen shook his head and said, "No, it cannot be filed."
Her voice became lower and lower and gradually became inaudible.
Of course, we can't file it on record. This farce happened between the three of them. It's best to stop it here and don't let anything happen again.
…
…
Half an hour later, Zhou Jinru was sitting in the restaurant holding two ice cream balls. Although he didn't like sweets, it was a unique treat to enjoy a cold drink after strenuous exercise.
"Xingxiong said that you won. What she admitted will not change. As an important figure in Londinium's underground forces, what she said carries a lot of weight."
"She said that the honor belongs to me. It was just a verbal expression and should not be taken seriously."
Chen's expression became serious when he heard Zhou Jinru's words: "No, you should believe what Xing Xiong said. Since she said you have won the honor, your name and deeds will immediately spread to the underground forces, at least no one will provoke you again. .”
Do the double-headed red sticks of underground forces have such a big say?
Zhou Jinru took another lick of the ice cream ball. After thinking about it carefully, he thought it was not a bad thing, so he said he still had to ask Xingxiong for help.
As for why Chen, as the superintendent, would say such a thing, Zhou Jinru didn't think much about it, because today's Victoria is an era when capital is rising and trying to control the right to speak, but its power is not strong enough to stir up a torrent of the times, so this place is still It is based on family, and family is everything.
"Thank you for your information. I have visited six survivors who are still in Londinium in the afternoon. Their lives are very bad and they lack the power to control their destiny. In fact, most people here are like this. A disaster can knock them from a decent civilized society into a slum, it may be a natural disaster, it may be a disease, it may be an accident.”
Chen sipped a glass of fruit drink and asked, "What are you going to do?"
“I want to reimburse them a second time through the Londinium Disaster Response Fund.”
He remembered a voice saying that there was no need for him to do this. After being baptized by the lighthouse, that voice never appeared again.
After eating, Zhou Jinru finally felt like he was alive again and asked casually: "Is there a hotel nearby?"
He had no time to return to Shivaash's manor tonight and planned to find a place to stay for the night. If he had any questions, he would wait until tomorrow.
"There are indeed some nearby."
Chen recalled for a few seconds and his tone became hesitant.
Zhou Jinru frowned: "What's wrong?"
"There is only one hotel nearby, a love hotel. Are you sure you want to stay there?"
"I live alone, what's the problem?"
Zhou Jinru has not stayed overnight in a sitcom yet. Even if it is only a love hotel, he is ready to give it a try.
Facing Chen's uncertainty, the mist hunter couldn't help but laugh: "How about you don't go back tonight?"
"no!"
Chen blurted out. She looked at Zhou Jinru's action of spreading his hands and emphasized: "It just can't be done. Don't force me."
Zhou Jinru followed the good advice: "Okay, no problem."
He had never thought about it that way. What he said just now was just a joke. In reality, Chen is a strong woman with ideals and principles. Even if she is easy to talk to in the sitcom, if she really wants to do something excessive, return to reality. After that, just wait to be beaten.
Zhou Jinru didn't want to be beaten, not at all.
"Hey, Zhou, are you really not angry?"
Finally, Chen blinked his big eyes and asked again.
Zhou Jinru laughed: "If I say I'm angry, will you stay with me?"
