Chapter 390 Metropolis
Chapter 390 Metropolis
Boom!
A corpse rolled down the stairwell, a sharp weapon stuck in his body, and a small hole in his chest from which crackling electricity was seen.
Bu Kong didn't look at the corpse. He simply found a futon and sat down cross-legged. His eyes were closed, and he was breathing heavily. It seemed that the battle just now had exhausted him.
"Tsk tsk!"
"Eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, and meditate."
Along with the corpse, a dark figure descended, stepping on the mechanical police captain and pulling out the sharp weapon embedded in his body.
"You're quite good at pretending, but when you actually fight, your killing intent is just as strong as mine!"
Even the most obtuse person could hear the sarcasm in those words. After all, as a monk, Amoghavajra's methods were probably too ruthless. When he fought, every move was deadly, and he didn't have the kind and benevolent look of a monk at all.
"Tsk~ putting on that high and mighty act again..."
The dark figure, who had been grinning at Bu Kong, shook his head in boredom when he saw that the other side was ignoring him. He then stepped over the corpse of the mechanical police captain and walked into the room.
"One, two, three..."
"Oh! You've killed quite a few!"
The shadowy figure passed over the corpses one by one, finally arriving in front of Marika's body.
"Tsk tsk~ You killed such a beautiful woman, how heartless..."
"Oh! Right! I forgot you did this before too..."
call! ! !
A gentle breeze blew in, causing the candlelight in the basement to flicker. The shadowy figure, watching Bu Kong's trembling eyelids, revealed a playful smile.
"you......"
Ta~
Just as the shadowy figure was about to continue provoking him, Bu Kong pulled out a wooden fish from somewhere and began to slowly tap it.
Hearing the tapping sound, the shadowy figure knew that he couldn't provoke him anymore, so he could only shrug and turn his gaze back to Marika.
"Come on, let me see this pretty face..."
Ta~
As the wooden fish was struck, the dark figure began to move.
In the candlelight, the dark figure began to slash at Marika's body with a sharp weapon. The candlelight cast a long shadow, making him look like a... terrifying demon!
............
Metropolis.
The capital of Gear Country is home to many Gear Country people. As its name suggests, it is like a modern metropolis with towering skyscrapers. Although the style is somewhat retro and fantastical, it is still somewhat alien to this world.
Due to the unique characteristics of the people of Gear Country, life in this huge city is quite harmonious.
But this harmony began to be gradually broken after the appearance of the Lord of Desire.
boom! ! ! !
In the midst of a peaceful daily routine, a loud noise suddenly shattered the tranquility and harmony of everything.
“Wuhu!!!”
As the engine roared to life, a large vehicle sped down the street. It was clearly a modified vehicle; with a series of opening and closing movements, black gun barrels emerged from it.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat!!!
A large amount of ammunition poured out of the vehicle, and this terrifying tank began to show its might on the streets. As it swept in indiscriminately, a large number of civilians fell to its guns.
"What a fool you are!"
A young man with exaggerated makeup poked his head out from the roof of the car and looked at the citizens who were still somewhat stunned despite being attacked. His face was full of disdain.
Can these guys even be considered human?
The young man's eyes were filled with contempt, unaware that he, who was driving indiscriminately and killing people in the street, could not be called human.
Of course, his massacre quickly attracted the attention of the authorities, and soon several black cars came out and chased after the tank.
boom! ! ! !
Unlike law enforcement in the real world, law enforcement officers here will not offer any persuasion; they will basically just raise their guns and fire, leaving the other party no room to survive.
"Horse riding!"
Seeing the black car relentlessly pursuing them, the young man cursed angrily, then took the energy cannon from his teammate and began exchanging fire with the law enforcement officers who were arresting them.
Boom boom boom! ! ! !
In an instant, the street became their battlefield, and the barrage of fire from both sides affected a large number of innocent citizens. Even as things escalated to this point, many citizens still watched all of this with astonished expressions.
boom! ! !
In this fierce battle, the official personnel ultimately prevailed. With a single shot that destroyed the tank's tires, the tank was forced to a stop.
As the tank crashed into the building, the law enforcement vehicles immediately surrounded it. In a short while, a large number of men in black got out of the vehicles and quickly approached the tank.
The crazed youth tried to fight back after getting out of the car, but he was no match for the large group of mechanical police officers. His legs were quickly blown off, and he collapsed helplessly to the ground.
"what!!!"
A painful scream came from his legs, but the robotic police ignored it and quickly moved forward to capture him.
"You can't arrest me! Lord Desire will not let you go. He will purify this country, and you worthless creatures will all die at his hands!!"
The young man, captured by the robotic police, seemed to finally feel fear. He shouted the name of the Lord of Desire, as if trying to scare them away.
But just like their name suggests, these robotic police officers only obey their superiors. No danger can deter them. They are true machines, and in their eyes, there is only completing the mission!
The young man and his accomplices were quickly subdued. After the riot was quelled, some detectives stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, while others escorted the terrorists into vehicles and drove them to the city's tallest building.
SkyNet Building.
With the rioters subdued, the streets returned to calm, and after a brief moment of stunned silence, everyone resumed their pre-riot state.
It was as if nothing had ever happened.
"These guys..."
A middle-aged man with curly hair watched this scene quietly from a corner.
He was wearing a specially made cloak of invisibility, which was equivalent to an invisibility spell. This was why he, as a member of Dawn, one of the two major rebel organizations in the country, dared to appear so openly on the street.
The same was true for the others behind him; unless a special reconnaissance search was conducted, their whereabouts would be difficult to detect.
"He's really not human."
"Those people from the Desire Lord faction are getting more and more arrogant."
"Judging from this trend, it seems they're about to do something big."
The curly-haired man looked at the ruins after the great battle, and his eyes became serious.
"By the way, is there still no news from Marika?"
