“Let’s go!”

Lu Siya pulled at Meng Chao, who grabbed Small Insect. They went inside the women’s toilet again.

With their superhumans’ strength, it would not be difficult for them to use force to subjugate the gang members.

But this was a lair, and many of the citizens were connected to the gangs. They shared a relationship that if one of them fired a signal, everyone would come to help them.

If the two were surrounded by thousands of people, then even if Lu Siya could now go against gravity and fly, it would still be difficult for her to escape.

Besides, the gang members were not suspects. They were also not out-of-control superhumans or human-shaped monsters. In theory, they were all good citizens who obeyed the law. Be it Poison Scorpion, Black Bone, or even the infamous Golden Tooth, these were all just names used to refer to the gangs in private. On official documents, they were registered as Ping Pong Club, Movie Lovers’ Exchange Club, Reading Club, and whatnot.

Joining a reading club was not a crime.

Organizing illegal monster fights was also not a major crime.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya could not kill the built men as they pleased.

So, Lu Siya could only snap her fingers again.

She summoned eight spikes from the floor and used them as a fence to block off the corridor, which would stall the group when they rushed up.

Together with Meng Chao, she then pushed Small Insect into the women’s toilet on the first floor.

At that moment, a few women had already entered the women’s toilet on the first floor. They were examining the hole in the floor when they saw someone crawling out of the hole. They screamed.

“Meng Chao!” One of them was a woman with a really curvaceous body. While she screamed, she pointed at Meng Chao’s face. “You’re Lin Chuan’s assistant, Meng Chao!”

It would seem that she was also a loyal admirer of the Weeping Reaper.

Meng Chao sighed in his heart.

When a person became famous, they were afraid of the troubles their recognition would cause, just like how a pig would be afraid of being slaughtered after it was fattened up.

However, Meng Chao did not have time to hide his face. The Black Bone members underground had already rushed to the women’s toilet at the first basement floor.

Before they could use any lightness skills and jump up, Lu Siya activated her mine explorer’s ability and sealed off most of the hole.

One of the unfortunate Black Bone members was halfway through jumping out of the hole when he got stuck. He yelped and his legs flailed around in the basement.

Soon, the sounds of people pushing at each other came from the hall on the first floor.

As if they had knocked on a hornet’s nest, a large group of Black Bone members charged at them like hornets.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya grabbed Small Insect by the arms and jumped out the window of the women’s toilet.

With just a few steps, they ended up in a maze that was as complicated as a spider’s web.

The buildings around them were packed as densely as in a hornet’s nest, and all of them looked practically the same. Curious faces looked out of the windows and stared at them closely. It made their skins crawl.

In less than half a minute, the Black Bone members caught up to them, since they were familiar with the place.

Lu Siya had to stop and turn around to activate her skill. She summoned spikes again and blocked off their pursuers in the shabby street.

She also released the imposing aura of a Heaven Realm elite in order to intimidate those Black Bone members.

But the Black Bone members did not fall for her trick. After all, those who are unreasonable aren’t afraid of those who would throw away their lives in desperation, so they believed Lu Siya would not really attack them. They gritted their teeth and forced their way through the intersecting spikes.

Meng Chao continued to run forward with Small Insect in his arms.

But after taking only a few steps forward, he felt a sharp gaze on his back.

When he turned his head around, he noticed a strange, silver glare flashing behind a window across from him.

“Sniper!”

Meng Chao cussed. He could not tell whether the person would dare to fire, and he was not willing to let someone else decide his fate based on their rationale. He swung his arm, and his sleeve flapped. His fingers shook, and a scalpel drew a shrill arc that let out a whistle even sharper than that of a bullet. It went straight to the scope of the sniper rifle. The scalpel’s power was just perfect. It got stuck in the scope after piercing it. There was only half an inch to the person’s eyeball.

It was a warning.

If the sniper ignored it, Meng Chao was confident that he could use another scalpel to pierce his eyeball and brain.

The sniper had never seen such amazing knife throwing skills before.

Just as Meng Chao expected, he was so terrified that he shrank back and did not dare to show his face again.

But at the moment Meng Chao was distracted, Small Insect, who had been staying obediently in his grip, suddenly struggled fiercely.

Thud!

Brilliant flames shot out from beneath his mechanical legs, and he nearly burned Meng Chao’s leg hair.

He used the reverse thrust from his “rocket legs” to break free of Meng Chao’s grip and fly five meters away while remaining close to the ground.

Meng Chao did not think that there would be such a mechanism hidden in Small Insect’s mechanical legs. He quickly tossed his chain sabers forward, but it was already too late. Small Insect used his advantage of being familiar with the terrain and the help of his “rocket legs” to fly upwards until he was as high as the third floor. Then, with a few jumps, he fled to a roof.

“After him!”

Meng Chao and Lu Siya looked at each other. One of them flung his chain saber, and the other activated the maglev power of Heaven Realm elites. They jumped on the roof at the same time.
