Hui Shuai Jiao De Xiong Mao
Chapter 3 Fierce Battle
Nan Jin wasn't surprised by this answer.
She knew very well what being with A-009 for 20 minutes without incident meant... this was a runaway of A-class danger.
To do that wasn't just plain good luck.
The data showed that A-009 was frantically pursuing a truth that ordinary people couldn't understand.
It wasn't an accident that Gu Shen could coexist with her peacefully... Could it be that this teenager was also a madman?
There was no time to think.
Wei Shu's voice sounded again: "I'm going to cut off this car. Next, you need to take him out of here."
"Rumble—"
The light rail sped wildly through the night wind in the suburbs of Da Teng City. A dull cracking sound rang out. The car was disconnected from the couplings behind it. The wheels tightened in a violent friction. Due to inertia, the entire car began to "slowly" lift off from the bottom.
Nan Jin said expressionlessly, "Hold me tight."
Gu Shen: "???"
He lunged forward, hugging Nan Jin's slender waist unceremoniously. Under the wide windbreaker was a warm, delicate body. Gu Shen felt several cold, sharp outlines... this woman had three long and short knives hanging around her waist.
Thinking of the cold light that had cut the train earlier, he couldn't help but shudder.
A bump!
The train car was almost airborne. The two people were standing on the bottom of the car, sliding down at an angle almost perpendicular to the ground.
Nan Jin took quick steps extremely fast, not at all like she was carrying a big man around her waist. Because the car was flying upside down, she looked like a night cat walking on walls. The whole world was reversed, but she maintained her balance.
Holding her breath and focusing, she held the knives in both hands, delivering a cross slash.
The bright light of the knives illuminated the darkness.
Three crisp sounds of "clang clang clang"!
The bone-scraping knife blocked the blade!
But the madam's throat once again emitted a painful roar. Even Gu Shen could see the string of bright red blood beads flying out of the open black dress.
The moment she drew her knife, all the color in Nan Jin's eyes faded away, turning into a cold emptiness.
She wasn't greedy for victory. Although she successfully broke through after the block, stabbing the tall lady's chest accurately with one knife, she immediately turned back. At the critical moment, Nan Jin's hand flashed out like lightning, her five fingers tightly gripping Gu Shen's back collar. When the car completely rolled 90 degrees, she squatted down sharply, shattering the tempered glass with a heavy boot, sinking downwards like a diver.
The broken glass and rolling arcs of electricity were like seaweed floating in the deep sea.
The derailed car was like a rising submarine, except this was land, not ocean.
The car rolled, throwing off the tracks, hitting the ground like a falling boulder, constantly colliding, and sliding out with millions of dazzling arcs of light. At the last moment before capsizing, two figures jumped out into the night sky with incredible risk and landed on a lawn.
Nan Jin patted the dust off her windbreaker. Her eyes were fixed on the broken car that had slid four or five hundred meters away. After falling off the tracks, the car was silent and dead.
Smoke and dust rose. She didn't take it lightly, but pulled out the third long knife from her waist, while reporting coldly: "Target has been rescued... A-009 is still in the car."
Wei Shu quickly replied: "Seal off the surrounding area. Backup will be there soon. Don't let it escape."
Nan Jin hummed softly.
"Crack..."
Her sight caught the car twitching slightly after the silence... Nan Jin immediately gripped the fourth knife in her backhand and pulled it out. She felt much more at ease after holding the knives in both hands, but always felt a little uncomfortable.
Nan Jin looked down and discovered the reason: "How long are you going to keep hugging?"
"Can I hug you a little longer?" A certain young man hugged her thigh shamelessly, rubbing his face against it, squeezing out a flattering smile: "Big brother... I'm so scared."
Was this expression really fear?
This guy was still chatting and laughing with A-009 when she cut open the car.
"A-009's ability is corruption." Nan Jin said expressionlessly: "Under normal circumstances... she can contaminate things she touches, including but not limited to knives, swords, metal, guns... and people."
Gu Shen recalled the last scene in the train, the image of the lady in the dress smiling and reaching out her hand to him. He couldn't help but shiver.
Corruption?
That was too scary... He even took that ruler. Would anything happen?
"During the battle just now, I'm not sure if this clothing has had any contact with it."
Nan Jin's casual words made Gu Shen throw off his windbreaker as if it were burning his hands.
"Big brother, you have a tough battle ahead. Good luck, good luck..." While cheering, Gu Shen cautiously asked: "Little brother is really limited in ability... How about I leave first?"
Seriously, he wanted to run.
It was a battle of gods. He shouldn't get involved.
"Want to leave... you can try." Nan Jin glanced at the teenager out of the corner of her eye and sneered: "I'll burn paper money for you on time next year."
Gu Shen: "???"
"This area has already been sealed off. I suggest you don't leave my sight... because I can't really restrict A-009. Her personality is stubborn and crazy. If she insists on killing you, then it's no use running far."
Nan Jin gently inserted two long knives into the grass, put on special white silk gloves, and then re-gripped the knives, adopting a stance. Facing a dead and silent dilapidated car, she was like she was facing a formidable enemy, giving the final warning in a low voice: "Before the 'backup' arrives, I can only protect this small area. The farther you run, the faster you die."
The night wind surged.
Visible to the naked eye, strands of silver light emerged from the dark void, like fireflies, eventually wrapping around the blades of the two knives held in opposing stances. Nan Jin, holding the knives and posing, seemed to have become a galaxy in the night sky at this moment.
Gu Shen swallowed. He couldn't use his knowledge to explain this scene... What exactly was this flowing, wind-like white aura?
Could it be the legendary "knife aura"?
Then there was a muffled sound.
A "bang"!
A hair-raising impact sound exploded in the sky above the car.
To be precise, it was the bottom of the car.
After capsizing, the tin car was already upside down. However, smoke and dust swayed. A force was pushing the car from the inside out, slowly turning it back. After a moment... a tall figure slowly appeared in the shady smoke.
The madam pushed open the car door, bent over and slowly walked out of the train. This process was still slow and methodical, dignified like a noble, even remembering to hold down the wide hat with one hand.
From a distance, her height was level with the overturned train, simply a walking giant.
The two "long knives" that had been inserted into the madam's chest had been completely corroded by the power of corruption at this moment. The blades shattered with a gust of wind, and the blade, along with the secret silver patterns, were annihilated into ashes.
In the smoke and dust, the tall woman slowly turned around, looked around, and finally stopped, looking at Nan Jin.
The red light in her serpentine eyes oozed out faintly.
Just by looking at her, Gu Shen felt his blood turn cold. Nan Jin was right... He should never have left without permission. If he was targeted by this thing, there was no way he could survive.
The next moment.
Something creepy happened—
The tall lady in the dress slightly tiptoed, slowly lifted a corner of the dress, and performed an ancient and orthodox curtsy. At the moment the curtsy was completed, dozens of muddy water columns exploded on the lawn hundreds of meters away.
She arrived at Nan Jin's knife range in one second. The bone-scraping knife wrapped in old newspaper cut at the point where the two knives crossed.
"Clang!"
The sound had a huge impact. Gu Shen felt as if he had been hit in the air by a heavy hammer. His ears were ringing, and he fell heavily to the ground.
This was a bone-scraping knife? It was clearly a bone-crushing hammer!
He looked at the sturdy woman in front of him, holding her knives and blocking. Her windbreaker was lifted by the strong wind, rattling. At this moment, she was like a majestic Valkyrie, with overwhelming strength, actually resisting this Taishan-like blow without changing her expression.
Then came the knife-shaking retreat—
Thousands of strands of silver knife aura moved with the wind, surging and mighty!
The woman, who had steadied her stance, delivered dozens of hundreds of knives in an instant. The light of the knives illuminated the darkness so brilliantly!
A low roar sounded. A-009 was instantly swallowed by the brilliant knife light. The tall body was like a lone flower in the waves, instantly beaten and thrown out, falling heavily back into the smoke of the car.
The smoke had not yet dissipated.
The huge sense of oppression descended once again.
The lady in the dress, who had been shaken back by the knife, came in with extremely exaggerated speed, stepping with small steps—
Nan Jin's expression was cold. She shook her knives for the second time.
"Boom!"
The third time!
The fourth time!
The high-frequency blasting airflow took turns bombarding, making Gu Shen almost deaf. This was because he was hiding behind Nan Jin. At this moment, he could not hear any other sound besides the noise of the bombardment and vibration.
"...Wei Shu."
Nan Jin's condition was very bad. Blood spilled from her lips, and bloodshot appeared in her eyes, almost gathering in the pupils, completely dyeing them red.
This encounter was different from A-009's recorded files. Some strange changes had occurred.
What had it experienced to become so crazy?
Even in such a bad state, Nan Jin remained calm. She whispered to the control room on the other end of the earpiece, "How long until backup arrives...?"
