Overturned Tower

No response.

After a while, he sneered again: "In that case, I can only kill you first."

Still no response.

The girl still lowered her head, so quiet that she seemed to have really fallen asleep.

If you haven't responded to this level, then it's definitely not a trap!

The trigger suddenly became ecstatic.

He reached out to grab his prize.

But just as he was holding the gun, he suddenly felt a mild cold pain in his right chest.

He froze for a moment, and then he saw clearly that the three fingers of the cat-eared girl's right hand pinched a faint fluorescent light.

Its end was sinking into his right breast.

Like a sculptor holding a carving knife, or a surgeon holding a scalpel.

There is no murderous look, and there is no movement of accumulating strength.Silent actions... If she attacked her unenhanced heart or head, she might not even know how to die.

Obviously his outer clothing and skin were not damaged in any way, but Trigger felt a burst of icy cold flowing on his right chest.

His personal system immediately alerted him that the three lobes of his right lung were cut vertically by something.

His clothes, his muscles, his ribs did not block the slender scalpel.

...but fortunately.

The lungs that had been remodeled and strengthened by smoking too much... had saved his life now.

At the moment when his right lung was paralyzed, his left artificial lung was activated urgently.

——Illegal psykers!

Damn, it really is a colleague!

"Go to hell!"

The fear of his life being in danger made him furious, and he punched the girl on the cheek with his left hand.

The left fist implanted in the steel frame was strong and powerful, directly hitting her to the point where she fell off the chair and tumbled to the ground.The table with the tea set was also brought down.The delicate tea set on the table was smashed to pieces with a crisp sound of breaking.

If it was a stronger right fist implanted with a reinforced prosthetic body, just one punch would be enough to blow her head out.

The reason why it is the left hand, which is the bad hand, is because the right hand of the trigger is holding the gun.He subconsciously didn't want the precious weapon to be damaged by the impact—after all, they couldn't have a weapon master who was good at repairing such contraband.

But Trigger also has confidence.

This punch was enough to knock the fragile psyker unconscious...

"Um……?!"

The trigger immediately realized that something was wrong.

Because it doesn't feel right.

The feeling he felt the first time was indeed the feeling when the hammer hit the bottom of the cheekbones and the top of the chin... He also clearly heard the sound of the cervical spine twisting and cracking, as well as the "vibration" sound from the fist when the bone broke. paragraph sense".

But after that, I didn't feel any resistance.

And it feels like breaking some very thin and brittle glass, with a crisp broken feeling.

The figure of the "girl" was fluctuating like a screen with poor signal, and it turned into a cat-eared boy who was a circle bigger than her but had a similar face.

It was obvious that he had suffered a serious injury just a second ago... even the cervical spine was damaged.

But now that guy looks like he's fine.

……I see.Is it the psionic power of the transformation department?

"This should be your body."

With a cruel smile on Trigger's face, he raised the freshly acquired shotgun and pointed it at the cat-eared boy who was lying on the ground and looking at him vigilantly but didn't rush over again: "Then, let's use it to give you a ride!" .”

If you get closer, you may be injured by the strange spiritual energy that can penetrate the protection.

It's better to end the battle at this distance.

Although the power of the gun might shatter the glass... But the captain took control of the captain's cabin, and even if the glass was shattered, the airship would no longer sound the alarm.

If you're careful, it shouldn't fall.

But looking at himself, the cat-eared boy who was desperate in front of him suddenly smiled, and his expression relaxed a little.

——Is he looking behind himself?

The trigger's experience immediately judged the intersection of the other party's line of sight.

No, it's just a trap.He was lying to himself to turn around.

The door of the room was closed by him, and his hearing enhanced by the prosthetic body did not hear the sound of footsteps; the surveillance in the captain's room showed that no one entered or left the first-class cabin after the airship took off.

There can't be anyone else here.

"childish."

Trigger snickered.

He hated the guy who didn't say a word or beg for mercy when he was dying.

Can't recognize the situation.It's disgusting just looking at it.

So the trigger stopped talking and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

In his mind, he imagined the moment when the opponent's head was blown away by the projectile, and a hearty and cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

—However, nothing happened.

There was only a crisp clicking sound, which made his back tense instantly.

... no bullets?

Trigger looked down at the gun in his hand in disbelief, reconfirming that it was indeed ready to fire.

There is only one possibility.

The gun is unloaded.

……are you crazy?

What do you do with the safety on a gun without bullets?

But in the next moment.

Trigger's consciousness suddenly disappeared.

There was no pain, but the scene in front of him changed rapidly—starting from his toes, the lens of his vision suddenly moved upwards.

He didn't realize what happened until he saw clearly his headless corpse and the man slowly approaching from behind.

...Where did they come from?

It was Trigger's last thought before losing consciousness.

"Russell... your mother's psychic power [Vehicle of Inexistence] was not used by you in this way."

The big white-haired dog, like a ghost, reappeared in the room without a sound.

But Russell could see clearly that he was not holding a sword in his hand.Not even anything sharp.

Just holding a plastic straw from the drink you just used.

He didn't even touch the two-meter-tall, bear-eared, masked brawny man!

It's just a swipe from a distance, the strong mercenary whose body has been transformed into a semi-prosthetic body, is separated from the head.

The young man looked up at Russell who had transformed back, his eyes became a little complicated.

Looking at his expression, Russell subconsciously showed a pure and harmless smile.

Chapter 4 Bad Day

At that moment, Russell subconsciously relaxed.

Although the head rolled to his feet, blood spattered his boots.But Russell felt a sense of security being sheltered instead.

That look was all too familiar.

As if missing something.

If Russell wants to use a metaphor, it is like the look in his eyes when he finds a new colleague who graduated from the same high school and was brought by his class teacher after working for a few years after graduating from university.

"Do you know my mother?"

"Ah."

The young man responded: "Ms. Alice is my senior.

"Her psychic power is called 'Invisible Device'. As the name suggests, it is a device that does not really exist in the world. Therefore, it can ignore all external factors that you want to ignore, and only touch the parts you want to touch. If you turn into a screwdriver , you can unscrew the screws inside the box without opening the case; if it’s a scalpel, you can go over clothing, skin, bones, muscles, and directly cut tendons or nerves.”

When he said this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a pointed smile: "Whether it's a healer or an assassin, it's all first-class strength."

Russell was silent and didn't say anything.

He also just found out that his mother was actually a psychic.

After recalling his previous life and the memory of the newborn, Russell immediately realized that his mother's death, including their ordinary life...even his father's running away from home, might not be simple.

I was probably involved in some complicated situation.

Trouble arose.

The young man looked at the silent Russell with great interest: "However, your psychic power seems to be more complicated than that of your mother. Can you actually transform into your mother's appearance perfectly? You also mastered her psychic power... Did you inherit this spiritual power from her, or did you imitate it?"

——If there is no accident, it should be activated by consuming the chips left by others after death.As long as you put on the "mask" that represents that person, you can get the other person's spiritual power...

Russell thought to himself.

Just like before he used his mother's relic to transform into her and got her psychic powers.That dark green light should represent the mother's spiritual power.

When Russell was a child, he occasionally saw the gleam of this color in his mother's eyes.

But at the time he didn't realize what it was.

And after the candlelight in his illusion turned into the same color, Russell got the spiritual power called "Void of Extinction".

The punch of the bear-eared mercenary before can be said to be powerful and heavy.Russell clearly heard the sound of his spine cracking, but after the avatar was broken, his body was not injured at all.

Russell felt that it would take at least a month for him to become like that again.

But the good thing is that as long as you successfully transform once, you can use the same kind of spiritual power that is weaker than the next level even if you don't transform.

However, Russell did not share this important information with this individual.

Although in his memory, he saw that he was a student of his father and mother - he called his father a "mentor" and respected his mother.

— but that was more than 20 years ago.

Russell knew very well that people's hearts can change.He doesn't know anything now, and he can't easily determine the identity and position of the other party.

The attitude of the villain who pretended to be the "Tower of Babel" organization just now when he entered the house also showed a lot of things.

Russell was pretending to be asleep, but was actually watching him.

The simple-minded idiot with well-developed limbs, after entering the room and seeing himself, did not try to find another person from the room; he didn't even guard himself, and turned his back to look at the door.

If he hadn't been on the phone at that time, Russell would have acted immediately.

Afterwards, when Russell was pointed at by the gun, he immediately stepped over the mercenary and looked at the white-haired young man behind him.

He had already guessed at that time that there was probably no bullet in the gun.But Russell couldn't gamble, so he hoped that the mercenary would be distracted for a moment and give himself a chance to get up from the ground and dodge.

However, the bear-eared mercenary did not waver at all.He wasn't even nervous - which meant he didn't think there was anyone behind him.

These details show that Russell's intuition was indeed correct at the beginning.

- This room is a single room.Moreover, this group of robbers has mastered the surveillance in the captain's room, and can determine the entry and exit of each room.

Although first class has multiple seats, multiple tables, and even multiple sofas and multiple beds of different sizes.

But Russell noticed a detail.That is, on the wine glass holder, there is only one glass of the same specification.

From that moment on, Russell actually had doubts about this familiar stranger.
