Chapter 162: Round after Round

Father—who was undergoing hypnosis—didn’t expect the other party to make a face at him.

He wasn’t the only one who didn’t expect this; Shang Jianyao himself also didn’t expect this.

Father was first stunned before he nimbly pounced to the side.

With a bang, Shang Jianyao steadily moved the muzzle with both hands, attempting to pull out a firing line to cover the area where Father could dodge. But at this moment, he couldn’t help but raise his hands. He turned the gun around and aimed it at his head.

Body Automation!

Not only did Shang Jianyao not panic, but he also laughed.

This was a brand new experience.

His finger was just about to pull the trigger and fire at himself. However, it suddenly forgot this action and rested on the trigger as though it had forgotten what to do next.

Shang Jianyao used Hands Immobility on himself.

At this moment, he turned his head and looked at Oudick as if he was saying, “It’s your turn.”

Shang Jianyao had never imagined that his shot would hit Father. His goal was to drive Father toward Oudick and decrease the distance between them.

Regarding this matter, Jiang Baimian had an abnormal rapport with him. In a rush, she casually fired a shot to Father’s left—in the direction away from Oudick.

This forced Father to pounce toward the corridor where Oudick was.

Oudick gave up on his designated target. He half-turned, leaned against the wall, and locked onto Father.

Before Father could do a second roll, his eyes lost their luster as his eyelids drooped uncontrollably.

In this intense battlefield, Father actually dozed off and was about to fall to the ground.

Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian naturally wouldn’t let go of this opportunity. As soon as their hands recovered, they immediately moved their muzzles and aimed at the tottering Father.

But before they did, a bullet shot from the other side of the corridor away from Oudick.

From this angle, it was impossible to hit Oudick. However, it came with a bang.

This sound jolted their eardrums, waking Father from his slumber.

Father couldn’t be bothered to distinguish the situation. He fell to the ground and continued rolling, randomly choosing a target as he made his corresponding target’s hands raise their muzzle.

Bang! Bang!

Jiang Baimian’s bullets shot into a ceiling lamp, and a large number of glass shards fell.

The surroundings turned darker.

Shang Jianyao’s bullet struck the spot where Father was originally standing, stirring up a spark.

Father—dressed in a black trench coat—rolled into an empty room and stopped. He took out a small glass bottle from his pocket and abruptly threw it at Oudick.

Oudick didn’t dare let the item approach him. He raised his wrist and shattered it with a bang.

The next second, the strong smell of vinegar filled the air.

Oudick’s expression changed. Without thinking, he ran out of the corridor and returned to the middle of the hall, distancing himself from the area. However, he had only taken two steps when he started sneezing.

The sneezes were so intense and frequent that Oudick couldn’t help but stop and bend his back. He couldn’t do anything else.

The tip of his nose quickly turned red, making him look rather comical.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Baimian instantly understood something—the price that Oudick paid was probably related to his nose and sense of smell.

Oudick was allergic to vinegar, and it was a rather serious allergy!

This reminded Jiang Baimian of the first time she saw Oudick. He looked calm and reserved, but his nose was red like a clown’s.

As a result, Shang Jianyao commented that it wasn’t good to have a sharp nose and that it was easy to turn red from the cold wind.

Now that she thought about it, Oudick had probably passed by South Street that day and sneezed when he smelled a little vinegar.

Father had actually accurately grasped the price that Oudick had paid. He had made preparations in advance and crippled this powerful Hunter—who was unafraid of most Awakened—at the most critical moment.

The reason why he didn’t sprinkle vinegar in the hall ahead of time was that Oudick wouldn’t have entered if he did that.

In a flash, Jiang Baimian chose to retreat. She ran and rolled, quickly arriving at the nearest door.
