Chapter 199: Information Toxin

Just as they were horrified, whoosh! An invisible force instantly snatched all the guns from their hands, sending them flying into the air. At the same time, these guns began to turn their muzzles, pointing them all at their owners.

Lin Xian looked at the other party’s posture and immediately understood.

He stopped the motorcycle and walked over directly. With a flip of his hand, a large ballistic shield carrying a Roarer K23 electric rotary machine gun clanged to the ground in front of him. Lin Xian’s gaze swept over them, and he slapped the hot ballistic shield, “After waiting for so long, risking the dangers of the night, do you think you can beat me?”

The gunmen’s faces changed drastically. They had never seen anyone pull a heavy Gatling gun out of thin air, let alone create a metal ballistic shield on flat ground.

“Stop wasting time with them, this bunch of human traitors.”

KIKI crossed her arms and slowly descended from the sky, her eyes glowing. Her control over her psionic powers had become increasingly precise. Facing these ordinary firearms, disarming them was a piece of cake.

The tide of battle had turned in an instant!

Duan Min’s face changed drastically. The gun in her hand had also been snatched away, and she was clearly panicking.

Ding Qing watched this scene, his expression sinking slightly. “As expected of high-level Espers. Although I’ve seen your methods before, I still underestimated you.”

He looked at Lin Xian and said, “You escaped and came back, risking danger to come here. It seems you also know the secret of this night’s curse. But I don’t think anyone in your convoy can leave Rain Town alive after you’ve angered that thing.”

Lin Xian’s heart stirred upon hearing this. As expected, Ding Qing was not just a clownfish for the great parasite; he also knew about the existence of the [mark].

“What? A curse?” KIKI frowned. “So you knew all along and were hiding here, harming others. Just you watch, I’ll…”

Bang!

Just as KIKI was about to act, Lin Xian saw a fierce look in Ding Qing’s eyes. A strange, soft sound suddenly came from the chemical plant behind him. Then, everyone felt the ground shake, and a light orange smoke instantly radiated from the No. 1 initiator workshop, enveloping the entire chemical plant.

In an instant, all the gunmen around Ding Qing’s face changed drastically, and they fell to the ground in pain, unconscious. Even Duan Min swayed and sat on the ground.

On Lin Xian’s side, by the time he noticed the change in Ding Qing’s expression, it was already too late. When the light smoke hit him, he felt that most of his muscle strength was instantly lost. The guns in the air also clattered to the ground. KIKI leaned into Lin Xian’s arms, her face pale. “Lin… Xian, what’s going on? My Esper ability… seems to have disappeared.”

Lin Xian also felt his central nervous system begin to go numb. He looked up at Ding Qing’s side and found that only Ding Qing was still standing, but his face was also pale.

Whirr~

The sound of an auxiliary motor came from the active exoskeleton power armor, driving Ding Qing to pick up a tube of unknown medicine and stab it directly into his neck.

Hiss~

As the medicine was injected, blue veins bulged. His entire skin began to turn red, and some clarity returned to his eyes.

What kind of trick was this?

Lin Xian was a little stunned. An Esper? But at this moment, Ding Qing’s subordinates, including that woman, had all been hit. It was a move of mutual destruction.

A moment later, Ding Qing gritted his teeth in some pain, his eyes fierce as he looked at Lin Xian. “I know your Esper abilities are powerful. Don’t worry, you won’t die for now. The lantern stamen of that mimic giant louse will release a kind of dark creature’s information toxin when it suffers a fatal attack. It paralyzes the central nervous system and can also suppress Esper abilities. Although the range is not large, it’s enough to deal with you.”

Lin Xian’s expression changed. He cursed inwardly. He didn’t expect such a trick…

He and KIKI had acted and disarmed them immediately, but it seemed that Ding Qing had already made arrangements inside. He had hit everyone, friend or foe, preparing to take them both down.

And Ding Qing used the auxiliary program of the power armor to support himself from falling, and also set up some kind of emergency measure. Lin Xian estimated that even if he and KIKI had killed all these people as soon as they came in, they would still have been hit. There must be people in ambush outside the chemical plant to come in and clean up. It had to be said, this person was truly ruthless.

But what he couldn’t understand was, shouldn’t a person willing to be a monster’s clownfish be a coward who fears death? How could he dare to put himself in danger?

“Do you think we came here alone?” Lin Xian said at this moment.

“It doesn’t matter.” Ding Qing raised the black long spear in his hand, his eyes fierce. “Didn’t you already try last night? Can you escape Rain Town? Not to mention whether you have the ability to kill the mimic giant louse, so many of my brothers have to live here. They won’t let you succeed.”

“What a madman, actually treating a monster as a guardian god and harming humans.” KIKI’s chest heaved rapidly at this moment, her state extremely weak. She gritted her teeth and said, “You’re even more detestable than those thugs!”

KIKI’s words seemed to have stimulated Ding Qing. Ding Qing’s face darkened, and he said with some irritation, “So what if I’m a madman? So what if I’m a running dog?”

He pointed in the direction of Rain Town. “There are 257 people here. Besides the 66 people in our convoy, there are 191 ordinary people. They just want to live. What have they done wrong!!”

Lin Xian sneered. “So those people who were intentionally or unintentionally led by you to the town to be fed to the monster as blood food are not ordinary people, and they are not innocent, right?”

“Too much nonsense!”

Ding Qing seemed to be completely enraged by Lin Xian’s words, his face turning dark. “Cursed by the night, you can’t live anywhere. Since you’re going to die anyway, why come back? Dying on the road is better than being skinned by that monster and turned into a container for parasites, becoming a walking corpse!”

A cool breeze blew, and the light smoke was quickly dispersed. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. At this moment, a few subordinates hidden around the chemical plant quickly came to support.

Seeing this, Ding Qing took a deep breath, raised the long spear in his hand, and looked at Lin Xian and KIKI. There seemed to be some struggle and reluctance in his eyes. “Sorry, little brother. Since you insisted on coming back to be blood food, you can’t blame anyone!”

Click.

The motor of Ding Qing’s active exoskeleton power armor whirred loudly, the mechanical sounds echoing. Of everyone here, only he could use this exoskeleton to maintain his balance and stand.

He directly faced Lin Xian and suddenly threw the long spear in his hand.

Swish!

A piercing sound of breaking air exploded, accompanied by a gust of wind. The black long spear flew towards Lin Xian like a black shuttle.

“Lin Xian!”

Seeing this, KIKI’s face changed drastically. She struggled to throw herself in front of Lin Xian, raising her hand to use her Esper ability to grab the black spear.

But at this moment, she couldn’t mobilize her Esper ability at all. A sense of despair suddenly welled up in her heart. Looking at the flying long spear, she suddenly closed her eyes.

Clang!

A piercing sound of metal clashing exploded by her ear, and a strong wind hit her face.

The expected chest penetration did not happen. KIKI opened her eyes with a pale face and was shocked to see that the black long spear’s engine was humming as it stopped in front of her eyes. And on the tip of the spear, a suddenly appearing mechanical arm held it tightly, unable to move.

Whirr, whirr~

On Lin Xian’s back shoulder, the Genesis Industries HG55 mechanical prosthesis was installed on a fixture, acting like his third hand at this moment!

“What?!”

Ding Qing was greatly shocked and hadn’t even reacted yet.

Rat-tat-tat!

At this moment, a burst of gunfire erupted from outside the chemical plant. At the same time, a black shadow holding a glowing electric knife rushed into the middle of the few subordinates who had come to support. Before Ding Qing’s subordinates could react, they only felt bullets and the flash of a knife like a fleeting shadow. In an instant, they had all fallen to the ground, dead.

Lu Chang, Miao Lu.

After finishing them off, the two quickly rushed in. Lu Chang directly raised his hand and threw the electric knife. Before Ding Qing could react, it had already pierced through his chest
