Chapter 681: Chapter 681: Flying into the Night Sky
The white figure peeked out from between the buildings, and immediately the space-time around it froze, trapping Chen Ke and the tin cans on the street in a paralyzed state. He didn’t know if others were still conscious, but he was.
Every time this thing appeared, something happened. Although it had no hostility toward Chen Ke and even often helped, all its actions were uncontrollable and incomprehensible. Seeing it was never a good sign.
From beginning to end, Chen Ke had no idea what exactly had transpired in Capital City to cause the temporal chaos, nor did he know what that white figure had shattered using his Black Gun.
At that moment, the white figure looked at Chen Ke and pointed behind him.
The next second, the white figure disappeared, and everything resumed motion. The tin cans suddenly pulled out rifles from behind and aimed to shoot at him.
Chen Ke casually threw a time bomb to the ground, an orange beam passed by him, and their target was not him.
He turned around and saw a woman in a white kimono standing in the distance, the creepy nursery rhyme floating to his ears again.
“Activate memetic protection function… High-risk target detected…” H2 sent out a warning on a special frequency band. The H.C.P. mobile squad scattered their formation, looking to confront the woman as well.
Chen Ke looked at the tin cans, he was safe inside the time bomb’s field, as long as the enemy didn’t approach. He turned to look at the woman again and suddenly jumped in shock; she had silently appeared behind him, right in front of his face. The most update n0vels are published on novｅlfire.net
The kimono-clad woman had long hair that trailed to the ground, bangs covering her eyes, and Chen Ke could only make out her nose and mouth from the silhouette; she seemed to be a beauty… eerily similar to the woman lying on the ground with her abdomen cut open, chanting the nursery rhyme softly, emanating a sense of resentment all over.
Chen Ke took a few steps back. This woman wasn’t frozen by the time bomb, another being outside of time control. The gunfire stopped, and for some reason, the tin cans began to seize their own helmets and kneel on the ground.
Their voices seeped out from the helmets as if they’d seen something unbearable. Their armor lost its control as well.
Chen Ke couldn’t understand what was happening, but his left eye caught black lines appearing above the tin cans’ heads, extending up to the sky.
He looked up into the night sky, and the shadow over half of another Earth loomed behind the moon, the sight resembling a botched special effect from a domestic movie. He covered his left eye, and the shadow disappeared.
A clang sounded as a tin can fell. The black shadows were pulled by ropes and flown toward that Earth. Chen Ke realized that this was the place he and Shen Yun had accidentally entered with the helicopter…
Corpses… Are the bodies being sent from this Earth over there? Impossible…
One by one, the tin cans fell. Perhaps after being killed, they wouldn’t die, just return to the year 2137, but this time, things clearly ended differently.
Their shadows were dragged out of their armor, floating along the black lines into the night sky. Chen Ke suddenly recalled the appearance of souls, the white, twisted exteriors, and the pure black spheres inside.
At the same time, the normally invisible monsters also suddenly appeared on the streets.
He saw a massive cockroach clinging to a building’s outer wall, fluttering its wings and flying into an alley. The battle in the street attracted the Self-Defense Forces; over ten blue troop carriers and Administration Bureau SUVs rushed in from around the corner.
The woman had disappeared by this time. Chen Ke searched for her figure and saw her standing on the roof of a building, the ambience changing around her, the night sky brightened by an unknown light source like it was noon.
Two time spaces were overlapping; it was the only explanation he could think of. The Self-Defense Forces’ vehicles all had several black lines connected to them. Chen Ke vigilantly looked above his head and found no abnormalities.
Suddenly, the Administration Bureau’s convoy lost control, crashing into shops beside the road, with some SUVs slamming directly into trees. Black shadows struggled to fly out of the vehicles, following the black lines toward another Earth.
The woman was not from the Clan but possessed dangerous abilities. A rocket launcher materialized in Chen Ke’s hands, which he fired at the rooftop where the woman stood.
“Whoosh!” The rocket launched with a red trail, exploding after two seconds.
