Chapter 668: Chapter 581: Demon Slayer, Evil Slayer, Chu E

Su Sui struggled frantically, the traces of alienation on her face becoming finer, until her entire lower body fused into data. Her hands still stretched out forcefully, and pairs of black hands reached out from the crack, binding her entire body. The girl’s twisted expression was frozen.

The sudden change left Four-leaf Phoenix Tree and Zhou Zhao stunned in place, watching helplessly as Su Sui sank like into quicksand, her eyes gradually extinguishing, completely pulled into the crack and disappearing.

The crack vanished, the Witch’s song faded away, and the murmurs in their ears ceased.

Four-leaf Phoenix Tree snapped out of it, looking around, even this palace began to collapse, parts of the ground sinking, and the virtual buildings fell into the bottomless black abyss.

"This virtual space is about to completely collapse."

The two quickly exited the Shrine.

Back in the underground of Ausen Technology Innovation, they saw Su Sui lying lifeless on the ground nearby. The girl looked like a puppet whose support had been withdrawn, blood flowing from her dim eyes.

"Player Su Sui has been eliminated."

The girl’s body gradually disintegrated into light, scattering into the air.

Zhou Zhao and Four-leaf Phoenix Tree breathed a sigh of relief. Although they couldn’t understand why March targeted Su Sui, they got what they wanted, and Light Chasing Garden lost a player early, tilting the situation entirely in their favor.

Four-leaf Phoenix Tree unplugged the interface on the back of his head, the critical information about the black box was inside.

"Since we’ve already got what we want, let’s go back."

The two turned and blended into the darkness.

Flashing crimson lights flickered on Su Sui’s lifeless face, slowing in frequency until a sudden loud closing sound, and her form completely dissipated.

...

hours before the outbreak of full-scale war.

Bai Youyou and Tang Xin returned to Jiulong Street, following the address to an abandoned two-story factory, pausing slightly at the entrance as they exchanged glances, seeing a trace of complexity in each other’s eyes.

"There are only four of us now, be cautious." Tang Xin said.

"Hmm." Bai Youyou replied.

She knew the other was deliberately reminding her.

"I’ll hold back a bit."

They entered the factory, inside was pitch black, sunlight streamed through the window panes, forming slanted shadows on the ground.

The abandoned factory was very spacious, their steps echoed off the ceiling.

A cold aura continuously seeped in, infiltrating their skin bit by bit.

The dust-covered ventilator was still spinning, making a creaking sound.

As they walked further, the two stopped, Bai Youyou seemed to sense something, looking up.

At this moment, the lights above the factory suddenly lit up.

Three figures in strange postures were illuminated.

"Who goes there, state your names, yo~"

"Hurry and state your names, or don’t blame us for knocking you down, yo~"

"Don’t blame us for knocking you down, this is the uproar before the Bionics era, history will remember this cool second!"

"Yo~"

"So hype, dudes, so hype."

The three clapped hands in celebration.

Bai Youyou and Tang Xin were greatly shaken.

After striking their odd poses, the eerie BGM in the air stopped, and the three figures leapt down from above, gradually revealing their true forms.

The leading male Bionic was clad in a green jacket, holding a Guitar Axe at his waist, with Mohawk-styled long hair dyed and a mask on his face.

The person on the left was dressed in fiery red functional attire, with a fluffy red afro, and a Keyboard Great Saber strapped on his back.

The tall figure on the right wore blue punk fashion, with nunchakus at his waist, and bright dye flowed over his face.

The three began an impromptu performance.

"A flash of sword light reveals the Dao, with the keyboard as halberd and the axe as robe."

"The vast lands burn in ashes, the nunchakus strike wildly upon the drum set."

"Slaying demons, smiting evil, eradicating wickedness, this is our passionate ensemble!"

"So hype, dudes, so hype!"

The three clapped hands in celebration, striking a pose.

Bai Youyou and Tang Xin’s pupils trembled.

"Hurry up and state your names?"

"Should we just leave?" Bai Youyou whispered to Tang Xin.

"These three guys seem like cyber psychopaths, is finding them really okay?"

Tang Xin held her forehead, taking out a band recruitment flyer from her pocket.

She had seen it at Huoxun Medical Center.

"Damn!"

The leading Demon Slayer took out a magnifying glass, clearly seeing the blurred text on the recruitment flyer, then wildly poked the forehead of the Evil Slayer with the red afro behind him.

"I’ve long told you to clean it up, why haven’t you done it yet?"

"Boss, you said not to rhyme for the sake of rhyming..." Evil Slayer said while covering his head.

"Yeah boss, rhyming for the sake of rhyming is truly stupid." The blue-braided Chu E said.

"Ahem, that’s enough."

Demon Slayer stopped the two, approached Tang Xin and Bai Youyou, arms crossed, giving them a condescending look.

"You two brats, do you think this is a daycare, it’s hard to say if little noses can even reach the cymbals, playing in a band like others."

Bai Youyou couldn’t hold back anymore, she stepped forward and punched Demon Slayer in the abdomen, nearly making him kneel to the ground, stomach churning with acid.

"Urgh...young in age, strong in power, this punch, not bad."

"Boss!" Evil Slayer and Chu E stepped forward, but Demon Slayer waved them to stop.

"I underestimated you earlier, although you’re small, your energy is not insignificant, but please leave. Sorry, our band is no longer hiring."

Tang Xin frowned, Demon Slayer no longer piqued her interest, waving his hand.

"The three of us are planning to join in the Bionics’ revolutionary cause, in the afternoon someone will take us to Dawn District, maybe we’ll never touch rock again."

Bai Youyou was stunned, not expecting the three to blatantly say such things. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The three seemed to notice the confusion in her eyes, exchanged glances, and laughed heartily.

"The three of us have always acted straightforwardly, nothing to hide about this sort of thing."

"Those who were sent to eliminate us have all been dealt with."

"If you ask how dazzling our achievements are."

"Let me reveal it to you!"

As he said this, Chu E twirled and moved back, grabbing a piece of black cloth, pulling it off with force, revealing the scene behind, Bai Youyou’s eyes gradually widened.

She saw a mountain, piled with the fragmented bodies of RoboCops, Tag Catchers, and Disciplinary Officers, densely packed with obsolete parts sparking electrically. A head of a RoboCop rolled down the slope to the ground, its mechanical eyes’ red light slowly fading.

Amidst the shock, piercing sirens sounded from outside, with several Mayfly Drones flying in, getting smashed by Demon Slayer wielding his Guitar Axe, then batted like a baseball to land before Chu E.

Evil Slayer raised his large saber, slashing down violently, drones split in half under the falling saber light, while Chu E leapt and used the nunchakus to knock all debris into the scrap pile, the whole sequence was smooth and seamless.

Undoubtedly, with these three brothers’ stats, if replaced by hostile creatures, they’d at least be region-level Lord bosses.
