Embers Ad Infinitum

boom!

As soon as Theodore rushed to the stone carving, debris flew from the steps where he was standing, and an obvious crater appeared.

This sudden change frightened all the security guards under him, and reflexively they went their separate ways and looked for cover nearby.

As for Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo, they were thrown directly on the steps and rolled down.

These people are just ordinary citizens, not a noble. For them, security guards are just a job to support their families and have no sacredness. Therefore, they will not risk death to protect witnesses.

Even in their daily work, if they have no friendship with their boss, they will be lazy when they can, and hide aside when they can. Of course, they are still very active on the surface, but once there is no one to supervise them, they will immediately lose their disguise.

Following his memory, Theodore rolled to the stone statue.

While groping for specific directions with his hands, he sensed the location of the attacker.

However, in his induction, there were multiple human consciousnesses in that area, making it impossible to tell who was the enemy, and his eyes could not see anything, making it difficult to make a comprehensive judgment.

"Those damn ruin hunters!" Theodore cursed softly as he moved his body behind the stone statue.

Of course he knew why there were so many human consciousnesses in the corresponding area. It was because the ruin hunters who had accepted the mission followed him and others to see if there were any bargains to be found.

Faced with this situation, Theodore was not helpless. His choice was simple, that is, "attack without distinction"!

Born into a noble family, he has a strong sense of honor and is very concerned about the safety and stability of the "First City", but he only looks up to people of the same class.

Normally, he would occasionally show mercy and sympathy to ordinary citizens, certain relic hunters, and wilderness wanderers, but at this moment, when the enemy's strength and quantity were unknown, it directly threatened his life and safety. He had no hesitation in attacking innocent people.

Over the years, there have been many incidents of chaotic fights and injuries to passers-by while the "Hand of Order" was enforcing the law!

For this reason, Theodore would always say when teaching his subordinates:

"When performing tasks, your own safety is the most important, and drastic methods are allowed to nip danger in the bud."

Such words and attitude made him, who was far less sophisticated than Wall, actually gain the support of a large number of subordinates.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Theodore leaned against the stone statue and shouted a few words.

At the same time, a strange light appeared in his wood-carved eyes.

Seven or eight meters away, a relic hunter who was retracting into his vehicle due to a sudden change at the scene felt a tightness in his chest, his vision went dark, he lost consciousness, and fainted next to the passenger seat.

"shock"!

This is Theodore's Awakener ability, "Shock"!

Its current effective range is ten meters, and it can only be used one-on-one for the time being.

Thump, thump!

In the area where the suspected shooter was, several ruin hunters went into shock one after another and fell in different places.

This, coupled with the words "enemy attack" shouted by Theodore, made the surrounding ruin hunters who were trying to pick up opportunities intuitively feel the danger. They drove or ran away from the area one after another.

At this time, the car driven by Shang Jianyao was still at the corner of the street, and the straight-line distance from Theodore was sixty or seventy meters!

He relies on the huge advantage of the "Blind Ring" in the scope of influence.

This is certainly nothing compared to a real "Soul Corridor" level awakener, but bullying a "Hand of Order" member who is only at the "Sea of ​​Origin" level is like an adult beating a child.

Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, observed for a while and calmly made a series of judgments:

“Currently there is no strong person at the level of ‘soul corridor’…

"His ability to affect the heart is very direct and terrifying, but the range does not seem to exceed ten meters...

"Judging from the situation of other awakened people, his ability with the largest impact range should not exceed thirty meters..."

The reason why the previous shot she made with "United 202" missed was because she focused on preventing various accidents. After all, she couldn't be sure whether the opponent was only at the level of "Origin Sea" or whether it was more difficult to deal with. strange ability.

Moreover, the distance of sixty or seventy meters was still too far for a pistol. If it weren't for Jiang Baimian's outstanding shooting "talent", the bullet would not have hit the spot where Theodore originally stood.

While maintaining the flaming state of the "Blind Circle", Shang Jianyao stepped on the accelerator and drove the vehicle towards the stairs outside the building where Han Wanghui and his female companion were unconscious.

In an environment where many relic hunters dispersed and various vehicles drove in all directions, their behavior was completely inconspicuous.

Even if Theodore did not shout "enemy attack" and did not attack enemies within the corresponding range indiscriminately, Jiang Baimian would use a shoulder-mounted individual combat rocket launcher to persuade those ruin hunters to drive away and create a similar scene!

The vehicle stopped about thirty meters away from Theodore. Shang Jianyao made the "blind ring" on his left wrist no longer glow like fire and returned to its original state.

Almost at the same time, his turquoise watch glass emitted a glowing light.

"Destiny"!

Shang Jianyao solidified the last bit of power of "Destiny" on the glass of his watch, and now he used it without hesitation.

At this time, Theodore, who was leaning against the stone statue and avoiding shooting from a distance, besides reporting the situation to the top, was almost fully aware of the situation in the surrounding area.

As soon as he found out that someone entered the ten-meter range and was suspected of rescuing Han Wanghuo and the woman, he would immediately use his ability to "shock" the other person.

His subordinates began to use mobile phones and walkie-talkies to request assistance from nearby colleagues.

Suddenly, a flash of light caught Theodore's eyes.

Stone steps, unconscious figures, and messy street scenes appeared in his eyes at the same time.

He saw the world again!

The enemy has withdrawn? As soon as Theodore had this thought, his body shuddered, and he felt a cold breath seep into his body.

This made his muscles stiffen, and his every move no longer obeyed the instructions of his brain.

Shang Jianyao directly "possessed" him with his "Fate Communication"!

Although Shang Jianyao cannot forcefully control the target like Dimarco and make him do things. He can only complete the control while the other person is unconscious. But now, he is not asking Theodore to do anything. He is just interfering through "possession" He uses abilities.

This is more than enough for a weakened version of "Destiny Pass".

As soon as Shang Jian Yao took control of Theodore, Jiang Baimian immediately opened the door and got out of the car.

She held a grenade gun and kept pouring grenades into where the security guards and remaining relic hunters were hiding.

Boom, boom, boom!

Amidst the bursts of explosions, Jiang Baimian fired and walked quickly to Han Wanghuo and his female companion.

She was not stingy with grenades at all, and launched another round of "bombing", which suppressed the sheriffs and relic hunters from emerging from behind the bunkers.

Then, Jiang Baimian bent down and directly picked up Han Wanghui and the woman with the strength of his left arm.

Kicking, kicking, she ran wildly, and amidst the banging gunshots, she returned to the car and threw the two people in her hands into the back seat.

Jiang Baimian also entered the back seat, checked Han Wanghuo's condition, and shouted to Shang Jianyao:

"Evacuate!"

The green light on Shang Jianyao's watch glass quickly dissipated, leaving no trace.

After ending his "possession", Shang Jianyao stepped on the accelerator without turning the steering wheel, causing the vehicle to reverse out of the area at an extremely fast speed and return to the corner where it originally parked.

With a squeaking sound, the vehicle turned and entered another street.

"We have found Lao Han. Meet at the parking lot northwest of Antana Street." Jiang Baimian, who was sitting in the back seat, picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Gnawa.

This was the evacuation plan they had in mind when they decided to go out.

After doing this, Jiang Baimian quickly gave first aid to Han Wanghuo and the woman respectively to confirm that they were fine for the time being.

On the other side, Theodore's body returned to normal, but he only had time to see the ordinary black car drive out of sight.

He was anxious and angry. He took out his mobile phone and reported the situation, focusing on the appearance of the target vehicle.

As for who the attacker was, he didn't see it at all and could only ask his security guards later.

Shang Jianyao drove a black car and circled most of the area around Antana Street, entering the northwest parking lot before the security guards and relic hunters pursued him.

At this time, the dark-colored off-road vehicle Bai Chen drove was parked in a relatively hidden corner.

Jiang Baimian looked around, pulled out the "ice moss", pressed down the car window, and knocked out all the cameras in the area with a few shots.

Then she asked Shang Jianyao to drive the car next to Bai Chen and the others.

The two of them pushed the door open and got out of the car one after another. Each carried the other and took Han Wanghui and the woman to the back seat of the dark-colored SUV, and squeezed in themselves.

As the door closed, Bai Chen stepped on the accelerator and let the vehicle leave from another exit.

During the whole process, no one spoke, and there was a tacit understanding in the silence.
