Golden Silk Spider found an opportunity and directed the people in the church to leave from the side door. At the same time, he manipulated the mummy to protect the choir children and have them escape. After making sure there was no one else in the church, the mummy returned to Golden Silk Spider’s back and wrapped the spider silk back on Golden Silk Spider’s underarms and waist.
Controlling the human-shaped spider cocoon mummy was Golden Silk Spider’s M2 ability Double Thinking Silk. After a period of time, the mummy would need to return to his body to give Golden Silk Spider time to breathe.
Rimbaud entered the sea near the ballet theater, rushed over in the water, and came ashore on the seabank, so he was very fast.
He landed by Bai Chunian’s side from the top of the church.
Bai Chunian asked, “How were you so fast?”
Rimbaud tucked his blond hair behind his ear. “Meeting Sarcosuchus in the theater delayed me a bit.”
“You killed him?”
“No, you told me to come quickly, so I spat out his head and came.”
“It wasn’t that urgent…”
“Is it just him?” Rimbaud looked at Eris, who wasn’t in the mood to continue fighting and was planning to escape.
Hearing Rimbaud’s words, Eris fled a bit faster, hanging on the cursed golden thread and swinging into the far distance. He was covering his eyes and shouting, “Go away, Knicks installed it for me with his own hands, it’s brand new, and my name’s engraved on it, don’t even think about digging it out! Your whole body smells fishy, dogs don’t care, cats won’t smell, you canned fish.”
“?” Rimbaud’s eyes widened. A dock was nearby, and a huge, angry sea wave arrived, forming a transparent, hydrated steel quadruple rocket launcher in the hollow of Rimbaud’s palm. Rimbaud lifted it up and carried it on his shoulder. Just as he was about to charge, Bai Chunian grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.
“Don’t create chaos in the city. He and Sarcosuchus must be here to cause destruction everywhere to distract us. Puppet Master’s goal is the experimental subjects of the Medical Association. Follow me to the IOA.”
“I’m going to kill him and gouge out both his eyes.” Rimbaud grinded his back molars.
“Leave him, let’s go.” Bai Chunian dragged Rimbaud onto the passenger seat and urgently drove back toward the IOA. He used his communicator to contact the resident personnel at the headquarters. “There may be intruders invading the Medical Association. Send people to the Medical Association’s ward area and protect the doctors. Technology Department and Lab Division, pay attention to information security.”

After hearing this, Bai Chunian immediately said, “Received. Secret Service’s Search Division, keep watching. I’m returning to headquarters. Xiao Xun and Lanxing, look for a sniper spot there and prepare to ambush Odd Bones and Specter Hourglass.”
“These guys.” Bai Chunian turned off the mic and smashed the steering wheel. “What are they doing by recklessly going into the city center? What are they doing by stealing experimental subjects? All the ones we receive are either children in the cultivation stage or don’t have attacking power. What’s the use of snatching them away? If they’re actually kidnapped, it’ll become really troublesome for sure.”
None of these experimental subjects belong to the IOA. The IOA was only temporarily holding them for examination. Once the holding time was up, all of them must be returned to the Research Institute. If there were experimental subjects stolen during the holding time, not only would the Research Institute find an excuse to create difficulties, the evaluation of their ability to look after experimental subjects would be greatly reduced as well. This was related to the credibility of the IOA; there must be no careless mistakes.
“Lanxing, tell me about Odd Bones’ situation.”
Bi Lanxing quickly found the corresponding entry from the query watch given by Crawler. “Experimental Subject 723 Odd Bones, M2-grade maturity stage alpha. J1 differentiation ability ‘Secondary Rainbow For Clothes’: can form a protective shield centered on oneself and absorb 70% of the opponent’s attack damage and turn it into explosive fragments for rebound.”
“M2 differentiation ability ‘Snow Skeleton’: corrodes the flesh of everybody within the radial range of oneself until the enemy turns into a skeleton.”
“Associated ability ‘Emerald Dawn’: makes the irradiated target undergo mutations, which can be divided into positive mutations and negative mutations. After the target is irradiated, golden, green, and blue dots will appear between their eyebrows, the same as the ones between Odd Bones’s eyebrows.”
“So troublesome…” Bai Chunian wrinkled his eyebrows. “No wonder she needed to be hidden in the Berna Pharmaceutical Factory for cultivation, and it’s no surprise that Puppet Master spared no effort to personally go out and take Odd Bones from the Berna Pharmaceutical Factory. She’s only at M2 grade, but all her differentiation abilities are very strong. Puppet Master said that she is the most beautiful experimental subject in the world, and in addition to that, among all the experimental subjects of M2 grade, her strength is also ranked among the best.”
Rimbaud raised his head and looked out the window. “Yes, of course. She’s like a patterned chicken, looking like a cat teaser. Do you like her?”
His playful remarks helped to ease Bai Chunian’s tense nerves. He inclined his head to look at Rimbaud sitting in the passenger seat, sniffed the webs between his fingers sullenly, and said to himself, “Smells good. I’m a cat; I like to sniff cans.”
“Aiya, why are you taking Eris’s words seriously; he was talking nonsense. You are catnip, very fragrant.”
“I found her.” Rimbaud suddenly knocked on the car’s glass window hurriedly. After Bai Chunian lowered the glass, he noticed a blue-green figure leaping between the buildings about two or three hundred meters away.
Although Odd Bones had no wings, she seemed to be able to glide in the air by relying on the alternating gold and blue peacock tail feathers behind her, dragging behind bands of starry, twinkling gold-blue tail feathers. Unknowing townspeople on the street were looking up and taking pictures with their phones.
They made such a big spectacle just to cause trouble for the IOA.
Rimbaud took out a marksman rifle from under the seat, leaned his upper body out of the window, wrapped his fishtail tightly around the seat to secure his body, and said softly, “Give me a 4x scope.”
Controlling the steering wheel with his left hand, Bai Chunian picked up a bottle of mineral water with his right hand, bit the cap off the bottle with his teeth, and threw the bottle out the window.
When the mineral water bottle flew out of the window, it was immediately squashed flat by an invisible air pressure. The water was squeezed out immediately and gathered in front of Rimbaud as if it was being controlled. It formed into a transparent, hydrated steel 4x scope on top of Rimbaud’s marksman rifle that he was aiming with one eye. The blue front sight moved onto Odd Bones, who was gliding at a high speed.
“She has the ability to rebound injuries, so don’t hit her. Drive her to a place where there aren’t many people.” Bai Chunian faced the oncoming car, made a drifting U-turn, and passed through the narrow road.
Rimbaud stuck his upper body out of the sunroof, laid on the car roof, and aimed. He lightly pulled the trigger, and a bullet flew toward Odd Bones’s flight path.
Odd Bones unfolded her peacock tail feathers to glide high up in the sky with Specter Hourglass laying on her back.
“Sister…he has a gun.” Specter watched the distant high-speed car on the ground. Rimbaud was lying on the roof and aiming at them.
Odd Bones adjusted directions slightly. “Block it. It’s time for us to go; Puppet Master told us to return. He said that the eavesdropping puppet found some new information about the Research Institute.”
When the bullet was about to touch them, Specter suddenly turned his hourglass, and the bullet approaching them immediately flew back along its original trajectory.
As they neared the clock tower, Odd Bones prepared to angle down and land, but a window suddenly opened in the center of the clock hand of the quiet, vacant clock tower. A sniper rifle stretched out and fired at her without the slightest hesitation.
Odd Bones made a sharp turn, and a colorful protective shield formed in front of her at the same time. When the sniper bullet hit the protective shield, it could no longer move forward. The protective shield that absorbed 70% of the power of the sniper bullet suddenly shattered, and sharp fragments that resembled glass exploded in all directions.
But black vines grew rapidly on the bell tower, forming a tough and durable wall of vines to protect Xiao Xun, who was in charge of the sniping.
Following Bi Lanxing’s control, the vines grew recklessly and rooted on the bell tower. The tips went up, pursuing and attacking like ropes.
Bi Lanxing looked at Odd Bones, who changed the direction of her gliding, pressed his headset, and said in a low voice, “Chu-ge, Specter’s glass hourglass is filled with experimental subjects, at least seven or eight of them. It looks like the stolen ones are all in there.”
Bai Chunian said, “We will drive her back. Xiao Xun, snipe the hourglass.”
Xiao Xun hesitated and said, “My bullets can’t penetrate the hourglass.”
Bi Lanxing said, “Golden Silk Spider is already rushing over. His Silk Explosion Magazine can pierce the hourglass.”
“There’s no time. Aim a positioning bullet and leave the rest to me.” Bai Chunian was chasing Odd Bones from the ground in the car. Seeing that she was already approaching the edge of the city, Bai Chunian pulled Rimbaud back from the sunroof. Rimbaud easily understood him. After a turn, Bai Chunian grabbed the car roof with both hands and emptied the driver’s seat. Rimbaud slid into the driver’s seat to control the steering wheel. Bai Chunian stretched his upper body out the sunroof and used Rimbaud’s hydrated steel 4x scope to look for the Odd Bones’s position.
A sniper bullet accurately hit the hourglass in the arms of Specter. The hourglass was extremely tough and durable. Not a single crack appeared, but a red target mark was formed on the surface of the hourglass.
Xiao Xun’s M2 ability, Hunt Back Lock On. As long as the target was locked onto by his sniper bullet, the hit rate of all friendly shooting weapons would be greatly increased.
Bai Chunian spread out his left hand. The collar on his neck melted into the dead sea heart rock, and the black crystal was recast in the hollow of his palm to form a crossbow. He attached Rimbaud’s hydrated steel 4x scope into the crossbow and aimed at the mark left by the positioning bullet. He calculated the distance and the drop.
The crystal crossbow’s arrow left the string. Odd Bones saw Bai Chunian on the ground and suddenly changed directions, but the positioning bullet was able to correct the direction. The crossbow arrow still pierced through the hourglass.
Specter cried out in fear. He was blown off Odd Bones’ body by the hourglass, and fell as a result of the tremendous force of impact.
The experimental subjects who scattered out of the hourglass also fell with him.
A strand of golden silk meandered and flew over, wrapping around Specter’s limbs. Eris rushed over from the edge of the city, pulled the cursed golden thread hard, and tore Specter away before he fell to the ground.
Odd Bones stared at Bai Chunian fiercely. The golden, green, and blue dots on her forehead lit up. “Do you want them? I’ll give them back to you.”
At the same time, the dots between the eyebrows of the experimental subjects that fell on the ground lit up one after another, ones identical to Odd Bones’s dots. Each experimental subject underwent strange changes.
The skin of the few experimental subjects closest to the bell tower turned green, the whites of their eyes disappeared, and they grew fangs. They quickly climbed up the bell tower with broken-up nasty laughs as if they had lost their minds.
Xiao Xun glanced down. The experimental subjects were extremely fast, and they could climb up in practically three to five steps. He didn’t dare to stubbornly take them on. He climbed back into the watch face of the clock tower, locked the door, pressed against it hard, and said hastily, “I’ve been surrounded and can’t hold on for even three seconds. Lanxing, can I burn your vines?”
“Wait for me.” Bai Chunian was standing on the roof of the car and kicking down the mutated experimental subjects who were entangled in the wheels of the car, but he also couldn’t kill them. This trick of Odd Bones was really nasty. Fortunately, mutations have a time limit and could be eliminated by Dr. Han’s ability.
“This isn’t going to work. Rimbaud, throw the car away. We’ll walk over there.”
“Oh.” Rimbaud swept away the snacks in the handle and followed Bai Chunian, jumping off the car to run to the clock tower.
Sirens and ambulances sounded again and again in the city. Alliance police officers and the IOA operation team had sealed off all the streets, but the target had already escaped without a trace.
Odd Bones used up too much energy, and her cough became even worse.
“We didn’t…bring…the experimental subjects. Is Knicks…angry?” Specter asked cautiously while holding the hourglass that was temporarily taped up.
“Doesn’t matter; he won’t do anything to us. Cough cough…Eris has failed a hundred times, and Puppet Master hasn’t said a single harsh sentence…cough…the air here is so hazy. Human vitality is really tenacious to some extent, I hate it so much.” Odd Bones brushed the dust off her tail feathers.
Eris strode forward with large strides and his hands behind his head. “Sister, I only failed 6 times. Besides, this doesn’t count as a failure. They didn’t want to go with us at all. Guess what those idiots who were brainwashed by the IOA pyramid scheme said? Satan actually started saying scriptures, Corundum wants to learn origami, Dandelion cries endlessly, and Golden Silk Spider carries his mummy big brother to water the vegetable garden every day and is willing to be humanity’s dog. They don’t deserve us doing so much. It’s really an insult to Knicks.”
“I don’t want…him to be disappointed. But…we couldn’t beat them again.” Specter silently kneaded his soft curly hair and muttered, “Sorry…Knicks. We couldn’t save them. We were…too weak.”
“What will…happen to them?” Specter raised his head slightly and asked.
“Once the IOA’s holding time is up, they can be returned to the Research Institute. They are not strong experimental subjects, so they will probably be used as feed.” Odd Bones covered her mouth, “Human organizations should not meddle in other beings’ business so much. It won’t be good for either side…cough… If Divine Envoy was also on our side, things would be much simpler.”
Eris rolled his eyes.
I’m feeling more and more disgusted towards them =.=
