The crowd all looked sideways, while Xiao Rui trembled more violently.
Zou Sui’s face darkened, and he stepped forward to shield Xiao Rui behind him.
"Don’t be afraid, I’m here!" Zou Sui comforted without looking back, then shouted loudly.
"What demon dares to cause trouble here? Go back where you came from!"
The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses grinned.
When he smiled, the previous elegance vanished in an instant, replaced by an extreme madness and ruthlessness.
"Who am I? Haha! I am the creator of all mechanical beings, the omniscient and omnipotent Alchemist, including her being protected behind you, she’s also my creation!"
Zou Sui’s face changed drastically, "So it was you, this scum, who turned Xiao Rui into this human-ghost-like being!"
The man with gold-rimmed glasses laughed even more gleefully, "Scum? I like that adjective! But you saying she’s neither human nor ghost makes me very angry! Because... she’s my most prized work! Isn’t it? My child!"
The man with gold-rimmed glasses looked at Xiao Rui, "Do you still remember those years in the lab? I transformed your frail body every day, divided your weak soul, making you stronger bit by bit! You used to cry and beg me every day; it’s still so exciting to think about now..."
The man with gold-rimmed glasses talked chattering away, Xiao Rui trembled more violently, then nearly collapsed, clutching her head with a beast-like low growl.
"Bastard!" Zou Sui was furious beyond comparison, never before had he seen someone as shameless as the man with glasses.
For having done so many extremely cruel things to Xiao Rui, it’s no wonder she was so silent and withdrawn.
Because no matter who it is, having gone through such hell, being unbroken was already strong enough.
This person must die!
Thinking this, a flash of light appeared in Zou Sui’s eyes, then he entered a stealth state, quietly approaching the man with gold-rimmed glasses.
As the only one specializing in stealth ambush in the Fire Phoenix Special Forces, he was also known as the first assassin of Fire Phoenix.
Now, to kill this eccentric Alchemist, he unleashed his stealth techniques to the fullest, not alarming the nearby Mechanical Evil Soldiers, and cautiously approached the man with glasses from behind.
This is it!
Zou Sui slowly stopped moving, quietly pulling out a special Black Dagger, and without causing any ripples, thrust it fiercely towards the man’s back.
Near!
Closer!
Seeing the dagger pierce through the clothes, about to sink into the back, a hint of joy flashed in Zou Sui’s eyes.
But just then, a layer of armor like water suddenly spread across the man’s back.
Ding!
With a crisp sound, Zou Sui felt the dagger stab into what seemed like metal, numbing his wrist.
Not good, it’s a trap!
The thought flashed in Zou Sui’s mind instantly, then he began to retreat quickly.
But it was all too late.
The man with glasses laughed grimly, "With this bit of skill, you dare to assassinate me?"
As his words fell, the armor on his back spread to his arm, enveloping it.
Then he turned around and punched toward Zou Sui, who was retreating rapidly.
Bang!
The punch exploded the air, the immense pressure crossed the distance in an instant, then firmly imprinted on Zou Sui’s chest.
Poof!
Zou Sui opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, then flew like a kite with a broken string towards the Mechanical Evil Soldiers’ ranks.
"But all this will soon have an answer! Because..." The man with glasses rubbed his hands excitedly.
"I’ve brought a precious specimen!"
Saying this, he snapped his fingers lightly.
In an instant, an extremely cold aura surged out from the portal.
Where it passed, the Mechanical Evil Soldiers who were attacking fiercely immediately knelt on the ground, even their bodies began to shiver.
Next, a petite figure slowly walked out from within.
When she appeared in front of everyone, including Fan Mengxue, all those familiar with Xiao Rui couldn’t help but exclaim.
Because at this moment, what appeared before everyone was another Xiao Rui.
In terms of facial features and physique, she was identical to Xiao Rui.
When they stood together, it was like looking in a mirror.
But one thing was different, compared to Xiao Rui, this newly appeared person had a colder aura, and the indifference in her eyes was even more evident.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Rui might still have a trace of humanity, whereas this person was like a machine, with no trace of human emotion left.
This stark contrast formed a sharp comparison, causing excitement to shine on the man with gold-rimmed glasses’ face.
"Prototype experiment, this is the No.2 experimental body I created using your other half of the divine soul. Now you two finally meet, so is the human side of you stronger or is the one deprived of all emotions stronger!"
"Now, please prove it to me!"
Saying this, the man with glasses pointed at Xiao Rui, "Kill her! Then devour her soul!"
With a flash, No.2 Xiao Rui’s figure began to change, in the blink of an eye, her arms turned into terrifying blades.
Then she moved in a flash, charging straight at Xiao Rui.
