Chapter 60: Like the waters of the Milky Way, flowing backwards!
"Aaaaaah!"
"Aaaaaah!"
The female secretary let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Her face instantly turned bright red, like a red-hot branding iron.
Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she abruptly broke free from Mr. Li's embrace, immediately covering her three private parts with her hands.
She curled up into a ball, squatted on the ground, and buried her head in her knees, seemingly not wanting Su Nan to see her face clearly.
But to be honest,
Su Nan still felt a certain familiarity with the pretty face that had been pressed against the glass.
But he had no idea exactly where he had met her, or whose wife or daughter she was.
"You, you, you..."
Mr. Li's body stiffened abruptly, then went limp.
Just moments ago, it was as spirited and tough as a lion! Now, however, it resembles a lion terminally ill, with parts of it already on the verge of death.
"Is this the thirty-third floor?"
Mr. Li first looked at the boy outside the window, then at the tiny stream of cars on the street.
The lights were dazzling, with countless car headlights twinkling like little stars, making pedestrians look like ants.
That's right.
This is indeed his office, at an altitude of over 100 meters.
"How did you jump up here?"
At this moment, Mr. Li's head was buzzing. There was no dizziness or hallucinations, only a feeling of sluggishness from insufficient CPU.
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his mouth agape so wide that his tonsils were visible.
"I'm leaving now. You can continue. Apart from me, no one else should be disturbing your enjoyment."
Su Nan said it simply.
Then, he lightly tapped his right foot on the French window, and his body took off again, flying towards the roof like a large bird.
His figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Before the floor-to-ceiling window, a footprint a few centimeters deep was left on the edge of the reinforced concrete.
"My God, this is a ghost!"
Mr. Li stared blankly in the direction where Su Nan disappeared for three seconds, then he shouted out this sentence with all his might.
After saying this, his eyes rolled back and his body fell backward.
With a thud, he fell heavily to the ground and passed out.
Of course, what Su Nan didn't expect was the incredibly stimulating impact today.
This caused Mr. Li, whose family assets exceeded 100 million yuan, to develop post-traumatic stress disorder.
From now on, let alone in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, even the most elaborate moves won't be possible anymore.
It's because he's completely finished; he can't even lift his head anymore!
Of course, all of this is a story for another time.
The rain lines narrowed.
What was originally a continuous curtain of rain has now turned into fine, dense rain threads, falling obliquely from the sky.
At this moment, on the rooftop.
Telephone communications continued.
"Your Majesty, what is the full name of this chess game?"
The cloaked man's voice was very low, mostly drowned out by the sound of rain, but it could still be faintly heard.
"There are sixteen characters in total, and you already know them: 'Sword pointing at the dragon, driving away wolves to devour tigers.' These eight characters are enough."
The man on the other end of the phone had a slightly hoarse voice, and he was fiddling with a lighter in his hand, making a slight metallic scraping sound. His words were full of cold authority.
"Alas, what a pity about that shroud."
The man on the other end of the phone paused, then said with a hint of regret.
"Your Majesty, should I go and retrieve the shroud? The 749 Bureau should still be searching that area. If I go now, I should still make it in time."
The cloaked man leaned forward slightly, his tone tinged with urgency. He wanted to claim credit, so he spoke eagerly.
"No need. This shroud is also part of the game. Let the pieces that need to be placed be given to those ignorant mortals in the capital."
The hoarse voice still came from the other end of the phone.
"Huh, I can't believe I found this place!"
"Your Majesty, the person who caused this trouble has come knocking. I'll deal with it first and call you back later."
The cloaked man's ears twitched as he listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside, and he spoke in a sincere and respectful tone.
The rain was falling sparsely.
In the darkness of night, a figure landed on the rooftop; it was Su Nan.
This experience of leveraging external forces for flight made Su Nan realize even more deeply that...
The height he reached in that leap was achieved without the aid of anything.
Su Nan wiped the rain off her face and walked forward step by step, looking at the cloaked man standing opposite her with great interest.
…………
……
"Just you alone? Young man, you have some nerve!" The cloaked man stood at the top of the stairs, his gaze sweeping down across the street before settling on Su Nan with a hint of contempt.
The raindrops pattered against his hood.
He had thought that Su Nan would bring people from Bureau 749 to surround and kill him, but to his surprise, Su Nan was the only one who came.
They were truly fearless, like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger.
Are all young people these days this fierce?
"Aren't you going to run away?"
Su Nan's voice was calm as she countered with a question.
"Escape? Hahaha..."
The cloaked man burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
He clutched his stomach, bent over, and laughed so hard he was doubled over, his laughter carrying far in the rainy night.
He laughed for a full half minute before straightening up and wiping the rain and tears from his face with his sleeve.
"Why should I run away? Shouldn't that be my line?"
The cloaked man's eyes were full of mockery, as if he were looking at a clown who overestimated himself.
In his view, Su Nan was just an ignorant and arrogant young man who dared to come to his door alone.
Today he's going to teach this kid what despair is.
"What is your chess game? 'Aiming at the giant dragon, driving away wolves to devour tigers,' what do these eight characters mean?"
Su Nan spoke slowly, and the sound of the rain clearly reached the cloaked man's ears.
"you!"
"You... you actually heard something you shouldn't have. It seems I can't keep you around any longer."
The smile on the cloaked man's face vanished instantly, and his eyes turned icy cold, like two sharp knives piercing straight at Su Nan.
He hadn't thought of Su Nan.
I overheard his conversation with the Heavenly King.
This is a top secret belonging to the God-worshipping cult.
It must not be heard by others.
All who hear of this must be thoroughly eliminated.
"Young man, I was hoping you would spend more time playing with me."
"Now, I've changed my mind!"
"You deserve to die!"
"so……"
"The Mother Goddess said I will have a hundred times the speed!"
The cloaked man's voice was devout and fervent, as if he were praying to a god.
As soon as he finished speaking, the muscles in his legs tensed instantly, his trouser legs bulged, and the fabric tore at the knees.
"The Mother Goddess said I will have a hundred times the power!"
The cloaked man's arms began to swell, his muscles bulging high like two small mountains.
The originally loose cloak fabric was stretched taut by him, and the fabric at the cuffs and shoulders tore open, revealing dark red skin underneath.
"The Mother Goddess said I will have a hundred times the defensive power!"
"The Mother Goddess said that my bone density will be a hundred times greater than it is now!"
"The Mother Goddess said..."
As he continued reciting,
The sound grew louder and more frenzied.
His body was constantly expanding.
The blood vessels under the skin are bulging.
Like black loaches swimming under the skin.
With each chant, his power increased, and the surrounding air became heavier.
original,
Suddenly, tiny points of starlight appeared in the pitch-black night sky.
These starlight rays were initially only the size of a pinhead.
Scattered in every corner of the sky,
But as time went on, the starlight became brighter, more numerous, and denser.
quickly,
The entire night sky over Jiangcheng was filled with starlight.
Like a dazzling Milky Way stretching across the sky,
Like the waters of a great river, it irrigates the top floor of this building.
It poured down!
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—a vibrant array of colors illuminated the entire rooftop like a fashion show.
the other side,
Detention room at Jiangcheng Police Station.
Five cells, each occupied by a tomb raider, all of whom were followers of the God Worshipping Cult.
now,
The five people all suddenly looked up in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized, all gazing towards the city center.
They sensed the power of the Mother Goddess permeating the night sky of Jiangcheng immediately.
Like cotton filling the night,
everywhere.
"Which member of the cult is it that is invoking the power of the Mother Goddess there?"
"To think it could summon such vast power from the Mother Goddess!"
