Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Damn, Bullets Can Curve?!
Every time his attack was about to land on the opponent.
It was as if some mysterious power made his attack stagnate, and even his body froze in mid-air.
This bizarre situation made Lu Chuan frown intensely.
"When I fought with that female officer a few days ago, the same thing happened. What kind of power is this? It can affect my actions!"
Lu Chuan hid in the shadows, controlling the zombies to attack Zhao Lin while constantly looking around.
No matter how he searched, he couldn’t find any trace of an evolver around.
"What kind of ability has the evolver hidden in the dark awakened? It can influence my movements invisibly?!"
"Every time my attack was about to land on Zhao Lin, it suddenly felt as if time around was frozen... Could it be that the evolver hidden in the shadows has a time-stopping ability?!"
If it was before encountering this troublesome female officer, Lu Chuan might have thought this idea was somewhat absurd.
But even resurrection happened right in front of him, so it’s not impossible for an evolver to awaken the ability to manipulate time...
Thinking of this, Lu Chuan became even more vigilant.
He gathered all the Corpse Puppet teams inside the district to the direction of the entrance, while blending himself in among them.
No matter what special ability the opponent has awakened, that evolver is likely lurking nearby, and Lu Chuan doesn’t want to expose himself in front of them.
To test his suspicions, Lu Chuan controlled the three-headed Evolved Zombies to attack continuously, becoming even more ruthless in his assaults.
This made Zhao Lin, already struggling to cope, face imminent danger.
However, Lu Chuan found that as always, every time his attack was about to land on Zhao Lin, the Corpse Puppets he controlled froze inexplicably.
And this pause lasted exactly one second, just enough for Zhao Lin to escape.
If it happened once, it might be a coincidence, but until now, it had happened more than a dozen times, which definitely wasn’t just a coincidence.
"Damn it, why are these two targeting me relentlessly?"
Lu Chuan could now almost certainly confirm that there is another evolver around Sunshine District, always hidden in the shadows.
Two days ago, when he watched the battle between the female officer and the Tyrant Zombie, the female officer didn’t show the power to make the Tyrant pause.
This was enough to indicate that the mysterious evolver able to control time, or limit his actions, was a different person than the female officer.
While Lu Chuan was growing increasingly angry, Zhao Lin was quite excited.
Facing three enemies alone was very stressful, but every time she fell into danger, the evolver in the shadows would intervene.
So far, she had been saved by them more than a dozen times.
"It seems that the master who claimed to be the Invisible wasn’t lying; he’s now hidden near the battlefield."
"My frequent escapes from danger must be because he’s secretly aiding me — using the invisibility ability to influence the zombies’ movements?"
Not only Lu Chuan, but Zhao Lin was also speculating about the identity and abilities of the evolver hidden in shadows.
"I really didn’t expect that the invisibility ability could have such a significant impact at critical moments..."
Because of Ji Ruxue’s previous letter, Zhao Lin was increasingly convinced that the evolver hidden in the shadows had awakened the invisibility ability.
Lu Chuan was already at his wit’s end because of Ji Ruxue.
Clearly, he had suppressed the female officer, but because of some unidentified force, he struggled to defeat her successfully.
Feeling constantly thwarted, Lu Chuan also became somewhat irritable.
"Since you like saving people so much, let’s see if you can be faster than bullets!"
Having his melee attacks restricted, Lu Chuan directly summoned the Corpse Puppet snipers.
A few zombies picked up their guns, aimed at Zhao Lin, and started shooting.
Zhao Lin, pressured by the three-headed Evolved Zombies, hadn’t even noticed the zombies aiming their guns at her.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Upon hearing the gunshots, Zhao Lin realized the danger, but she had no time to react.
Though she had become an evolver, she was well aware that her current speed, no matter how fast, couldn’t be faster than bullets.
Moreover, the three-headed Evolved Zombies restricted her movements, making her as vulnerable as a living target.
But to Zhao Lin’s surprise, despite the gunshots, all the bullets missed her body.
"Hahaha! That aimless shooting made me laugh to death!"
Having thought she was certainly doomed, she found the outcome unexpectedly dramatic.
This made Zhao Lin ride an emotional rollercoaster, unable to hold in her laughter.
"I knew it, even if zombies could shoot, how could they possibly be that accurate!"
To Lu Chuan, Zhao Lin’s laughter sounded extremely abrasive...
He hadn’t anticipated the female officer’s luck to be so good; all his zombies missed despite a coordinated volley.
Meanwhile, neither Zhao Lin nor Lu Chuan noticed the small silhouette at the second-floor window of Building No. 1 near the gate, watching the battlefield.
"Good thing I have prior experience; I’ve been observing the battlefield continuously. Otherwise, this Nine Deaths Demon Police would die again..."
Ji Ruxue breathed a sigh of relief; it was through her Telekinesis Control ability that she made the bullets miss Zhao Lin.
On the other side, Lu Chuan was still unrelenting, personally controlling a few zombies to aim at Zhao Lin, before pulling the trigger and emptying the clips.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Intense gunfire rang out again, with Zhao Lin’s expression changing.
This time, she clearly saw several zombies aiming at her; even if she dodged a few miraculously, she would certainly be hit.
Yet... the situation repeated itself...
Ji Ruxue used Telekinesis to deflect all the bullets off course.
"Are you freaking kidding me?!
"Bullets can curve?!"
Lu Chuan couldn’t hold back any longer.
He saw clearly how those bullets meant to hit the female officer changed directions mid-flight!
Zhao Lin watched all the bullets perfectly avoid her body, utterly shocked.
"This... Letting bullets curve — invisibility alone couldn’t achieve this, right?!"
"What level has this master hidden in the shadows evolved to?!"
As both Lu Chuan and Zhao Lin were caught in astonishment, Ji Ruxue, influencing the battlefield from behind the scenes, was filled with pride.
"Luckily, after reincarnating, not only did I retain the Time Control ability, but also awakened Telekinesis Control."
"Otherwise, relying solely on controlling time, I really wouldn’t have been able to stop so many bullets."
Ji Ruxue secretly felt grateful, being a double-talented possessor; otherwise, even if he teamed up with Nine Deaths Demon Police, they might not have been able to take down that Corpse King.
Thinking of this, Ji Ruxue smiled slightly: "Sorry, Corpse King, with Telekinesis and Time Control, no one can touch the person I want to protect."
"With double talents, you can do as you please!"
