Ascension journey - 610

not long ago…

In the research building late at night, a man with a vague outline was walking slowly in a corridor lit only by the dim moonlight.

Wearing a dynamic camouflage, the human figure that is almost completely integrated into the environment, which is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, did not touch any objects in the dim light.

After the invisible figure turned two corners, a bright light came from the end of the corridor, where there was a half-open door, and inside it was the only brightly lit place in the research building—the one occupied and used by the enemy. Office laboratory.

“Is it here…” As he walked forward, the color of his body surface gradually changed to the silvery white of the outer door of the laboratory, with a strange black sclera and red iris under his hood. Look inside.

In the bright laboratory, only a young man in black leather clothing was walking around there. This ordinary-looking person was the assassination target of Risout’s trip.

As the captain of the enthusiastic organization of assassination squad, Risout didn’t know how many assassination missions he had performed in the past. Calmness and caution were his motto. He would treat him as a strong enemy regardless of whether the target was a harmless child or a dead old man. Go all out.

However, this time, he did not act under the order of the organization, but he spontaneously counterattacked after he noticed that his team was corroded by invisible terror…The potential troublesomeness of the target this time far exceeded what he had killed in the past. those people–

Not long ago, members of the assassination team, Prosit and Meloni, got out of sight of the organization under the cover of their companions, and went to track down a person related to the organization of the boss.

The operation finally returned without success, and the two returning people claimed that they could not find any usable clues.

However, Risout smelled an extremely dangerous aura on these two returning companions, and Proschede used a stand-in to wait for the opportunity to quietly leave behind a secret signal that only the assassination squad comrades could understand, and let Risout and the others get I learned that the bodies of these two people were controlled by weird forces.

But what they found was too late-at the party where the two returned, the enemy had already launched an invisible attack through the two.

It is a horrible germ that can be spread through physical contact or even through the air. At that time, the people in the same room, except for Risute, who was cautious by nature, kept a long distance from everyone, relying on his own substitute “metal products” to destroy After eroding the cells, they all escaped, and the rest of the team members fell.

Fortunately, the enemies who control the team members can’t control their spirits, they can’t observe their substitutes, and they don’t have the energy to monitor their movements 24 hours a day. This allows Risut, who is hiding in the dark, to be able and controlled. Through secret signals, his companions communicated indirectly to figure out the whole story and the face of the enemy.

Then, it was the assassination tonight.

“My stand-in’metal products’ can manipulate iron… as long as all the cells in the dominating biological tissues are destroyed by removing the’iron’, the target’s ability based on cell pathogens will not work, but my It takes a certain amount of time for the ability to take effect, and the farthest impact distance is only ten meters…”

Risute raised his head and glanced at the ceiling of the laboratory—he couldn’t use his abilities on targets other than the perception of the five senses…The floor of the laboratory is very high, but it’s not as high as ten meters, if a specific partner cooperates. , He can launch a vertical attack on the upper or lower floor, so that both his own safety and the threat to the target are greatly improved.

It is a pity that when facing a strong enemy, most of the time it is an assassination team with more than two people cooperating, and there is no other company to cooperate with him.

With a secret sigh, Risout concentrated his mind and relied on a substitute to gather metal dust to create a cover color and sneaked into the laboratory. After standing behind the metal vertical cabinet about eight meters away from the target, he cast his gaze through the gap of the instrument. On the target, the concentration activated his abilities.

Like all the targets he assassinated in the past, the young man could not resist his ability. In a blink of an eye, there was a large amount of “iron” inside his body that was pulled away and condensed into sharp blades, wandering and cutting crazily in his body. In the splattering blood, it shattered the heart, brain and other vital vitals of the human body.

Preemptive action and never procrastination is the creed of the assassination squad. They don’t have the same nonsense as the villains on TV-before they say “Kill you”, they have already realized it.

Although I don’t know if you can kill the target directly, you can remove the target’s control over the companion, but the extremely dangerous ability of the target can’t be left by Lisut. .

Dim metal blades burst out one after another. Accompanied by the sound of a large number of iron blades colliding and falling, the target youth’s body was completely torn to pieces, reaching the dominance of the elements at the molecular and atomic level, destroying all the cell tissues of his body. Exhausted.

Risute, who tried his best to use his stand-in ability, was stunned for a moment. He held the metal counter to look at the obscure object covered by fine iron blades on the ground in front of him, and carefully observed the color alienated by the loss of iron. Flesh, after confirming that the other party did not have any changes, he breathed a sigh of relief——

His stand-in is not very high in terms of pure output. In the past, assassinations often only needed to move their hands and feet at the key points of the target. This time, the target was almost destroyed and even the cells were destroyed. The energy consumption was really a bit large. .. If it wasn’t for the opponent’s body that he didn’t know why a lot of metal foreign bodies were embedded in his body, his ability might not be able to achieve this level.

However, it’s good if the action is successful… You can try to contact your companions to see if their control effect is lifted.

However, just when Risout was ready to take a step back, he felt that he was touching something with his fingers holding the metal counter.

He turned his head abruptly to look, and saw a small metal ball the size of a thumb oscillating and swirling with a wonderful rhythm, and wandering strangely against the vertical metal plane to the back of his hand.

Almost instinctively activated the stand-in ability, Lisoute bounced this weird metal ball far away, but the previous moment of contact had already transmitted a weird and violent concussion force to his arm. superior.

In an instant, all the muscle fibers of Risout’s right hand were guided by invisible waves to entangle themselves. His arm was twisted into a spiral like the fabric in a washing machine. He felt his arm’s flesh and bones almost collapsed. As soon as it sank, countless long iron worms with eyes, ears, mouth and nose emerged from his arm——

These tiny metal bugs walking through the flesh and blood are the manifestation of his substitute “metal products”.

Risute, who applied his stand-in ability to his body, barely prevented the weird wave force transmitted along the arm to the body, and suppressed the twisting of the arm-but this was the arm that was severely injured and could only be driven by the stand-in connection , There is no way to use it in a short time.

And just when Risute was too busy to take care of himself, the small metal ball that was bombed fell on the ground and twisted an arc, digging into the flesh and blood covered by countless sharp blades.

In the next moment, the flesh and blood that didn’t even have complete cells, which could only be said to be a mixture of solid and liquid, twisted and “stands” in the wave and tremor, and gradually condensed the outline of the trunk and limbs.

This obscure flesh-and-blood monster reluctantly walked back and forth two steps, then slowly bent over and picked up a razor-like iron blade from the ground. It pinched the iron blade with two fingers and looked at it. He turned his “head” in the direction of the vigilant Risut.

A noisy, low, and faintly echoing voice came from the monster body, as if it was tuned. This fast-changing sound wave quickly turned into a human language that Risout could understand——

The monster asked him with a faint smile and a hint of curiosity: “Do you know the specific content of iron as a trace element in the human body?”
