Chapter 29 Heading Towards Burst Tunnel

Another part of the city: Honghu and Zhaoying Wang were heading towards Burst Tunnel together.

Naturally, they didn't fully trust each other, so they kept a distance of about ten meters, just in case.

"Speaking of which... you're really having it easy..." Honghu, relying on running to move forward, glanced sideways at Zhaoying Wang sitting on the Blood Stone Demon's shoulder. "In a script like this, you only need to release your summon at the beginning, and then you can relax the whole way, not even having to walk yourself..."

"Huh?" Zhaoying Wang also glanced at Honghu. "Even if you look at me with great sincerity, I won't let you ride on it..."

"Heh..." Honghu adjusted his glasses and muttered, "Changing the subject, are we..."

Honghu's previous sentence was, of course, not hinting that he wanted to ride the Blood Stone Demon, but a probe. He wanted to infer some information from Zhaoying Wang's response, such as the Blood Stone Demon's control mechanism, duration, and whether there were any subsequent consumption after summoning it.

However, Honghu was clever, but Zhaoying Wang wasn't stupid either. The latter immediately replied with a joking remark, making the other party gain nothing.

Roar—

Just as these two were talking, suddenly... the Blood Stone Demon stopped abruptly and let out a roar forward.

"What's going on?" Honghu stopped alertly when he saw this and immediately turned his head to ask.

"I don't know... this has never happened before..." Zhaoying Wang's expression also tightened; he indeed hadn't given the Stone Demon an order to stop.

Click clack... another series of strange noises.

The street in front of the two of them suddenly bulged at that instant.

"Monster?" Honghu did a backflip on the spot, nimbly leaping onto the signboard of a shop on the side of the street.

Zhaoying Wang also controlled the Stone Demon to retreat a short distance and cautiously jumped back to the ground from his summon's shoulder. Although Zhaoying Wang's regeneration ability was unmatched among the top fifty, after experiencing the "Mr. Freeze" incident, he never dared to be contemptuous of any NPCs or monsters again...

"Interesting creature..." The bulging ground became higher and higher, gradually taking on a human shape. "It" said in a low voice, "A false life born from blood and soil, without intelligence or self-awareness; even the most basic five senses are shared by other creatures..." The speaker quickly revealed his true form. He was four meters tall, with blue skin and white hair; the armor forged from his muscles had clearly defined outlines like carvings; his white hair was braided into a bundle hanging behind him, like the tail of a giant beast.

"But... it is precisely such a creature that, relying on instinct, has detected my existence." When the Observer said this, he swept a disdainful gaze across Zhaoying Wang and Honghu's faces. "And you two, full of ulterior motives and claiming to be clever, seem so dull and incompetent..."

"This guy..." Honghu's eyes under his lenses showed a solemn look. "Very strong..." He quickly raised his voice and turned his head to Zhaoying Wang and said, "Be careful! This guy is more than a regular script Boss..."

"Pegasus! Meteor! Fist!"

Suddenly! A long roar shouted out a well-known boxing technique; a streak of swift shadow entered this uncertain battle.

A man wearing red underclothes and draped in white holy armor descended from the sky. His hands unleashed countless white fist shadows towards the Observer, with a momentum like meteors and a rainbow-piercing aura.

"Crap... a super idiot has arrived..." Honghu thought to himself as soon as he saw the newcomer.

The Observer, on the other hand, merely tilted his head slightly, looked at the player who had attacked from the side and rear, and coldly snorted, "Hmph... overestimating yourself..." He didn't dodge or evade at all, letting the rain-like fist shadows hit his muscles, seemingly without pain or itch...

Seconds later, the newcomer landed and immediately struck a very stylish battle pose, shouting with a face full of fiery passion, "Evil giant! Prepare to accept the punishment of justice!"

"Hey... you wouldn't be..." Zhaoying Wang had also previewed the final's opponent's information; it seemed that he had seen that face with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"That's right! I am the hero of justice!" The man said while switching various poses. "Pegasus! Going! Through! The! Sky!" He said his ID word by word, changing poses with each word...

"He actually managed to strike all the poses of the Ginyu Force in five seconds..." Honghu inwardly complained furiously. "Compared to the last time I met him, his level of idiocy has increased rather than decreased..."

"Uh..." In every sense of the word, Zhaoying Wang was stunned by this guy. "I say... Little Ma... although from my standpoint, I shouldn't say this... but I still want to remind you that in this script, we players are in an adversarial relationship... you don't need to rush out to help us."

"Ha! Hahahaha..." Pegasus Going Through the Sky laughed out loud, closing his eyes with a look of arrogance, tilting his head, and then straightening his right arm, raising his index finger, and waving it at Zhaoying Wang. "Hmph... commoners... heroes don't care about such details."

"Idiots don't listen to advice..." Honghu's expression at this moment was the same as when he first saw his girlfriend without makeup.

"Even if you treat me coldly, or even stab me in the back, I will still save you from this evil creature's hands. That's what a hero does!" After Pegasus Going Through the Sky finished speaking, he turned around and waved his arm, pointing at the Observer with great momentum. "Villain! You can actually take my fist that surpasses the speed of light, so you're no ordinary thug!"

"Seriously, if I wanted to kill you..." the Observer said coldly, "there's no way you could be standing there and talking nonsense with others for so long..." He paused for a moment. "Also... are you sure you know what the speed of light is..."

"Pegasus Meteor Fist!" Another roar, and Pegasus Going Through the Sky attacked again.

The same move, directed at the same opponent, and obviously... the result was the same.

"You bunch of belligerent otherworldly travelers... are truly incomprehensible." The Observer said. "I merely appeared before you, and you just assumed that I was the enemy." His face revealed a fierce look. "But why? Is it simply because of the difference in appearance? It seems that your race... has an innate aversion and prejudice towards species whose appearance doesn't conform to your own aesthetic." He paused for a moment. "But I can't see at all... where your sense of superiority comes from." His gaze changed from disdain to contempt.

"Uh... you..." After hearing these words, Pegasus Going Through the Sky knelt down with a look of astonishment. "I... was it me who misunderstood... Judging good and evil by appearance... I was too superficial!"

"Just stop tarnishing the word 'superficial'," Honghu muttered.

"I understand!" Pegasus Going Through the Sky suddenly said as if he had suddenly realized something. "So... the villains are the two of you!" He jumped up again. "It's because of your deception that I would direct my fist at the kind ugly giant!"

"Although you suddenly stood on my side, but..." The Observer's expression was even more depressed than before. "I'll state in advance, I'm not kind, and among our race, I'm not considered ugly either..."

"The flames of justice are burning fiercely! I will not forgive you!" Pegasus Going Through the Sky completely ignored the Observer's words; he had already strode towards the other two players.

"The guy ranked twentieth on the combat power ranking is actually a hardcore *chuunibyou*..." Zhaoying Wang pondered. "Speaking of which... that outfit of his seems to be the 'Pegasus Saint Cloth Set' in the store... and his nickname has 'Pegasus' in it, and the skill he used was indeed Pegasus Meteor Fist... Uh... could it be that he specifically bought that skill too..." The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was right. The Pegasus Going Through the Sky in front of him was definitely intentionally cosplaying a Saint Seiya, even his hairstyle was the same.

"*Chuunibyou* (中二病) is a Japanese term that roughly translates to "middle school second-year syndrome" or "eighth-grader syndrome". It refers to behaviors and speech adopted by some young people that are seen as delusional, grandiose, and attention-seeking."

"Don't be careless, Zhaoying Wang." Honghu reminded him at this time. "This guy's strength is the real deal..." He had already drawn his bow and nocked an arrow, preparing to face the enemy. "Perhaps the two most difficult types of people in this world are lunatics and [beep—]."

Zhaoying Wang actually understood and replied, "Yeah... because the actions of these two types of people are unpredictable."
