Chapter 184: Bai Yi Squad VS Dice Monster (Three)
KQA International Trade Company Building, 22nd floor, office.
Shreds of paper and files danced in the air above the office, partitions between desks were completely shattered, and on the ground lay the carcasses of several desktop computers.
Incandescent tubes in the ceiling dropped fragmented fireworks, while casting a ghastly white light downwards.
The faces of the Bai Yi Squad members were inconsistent under the flickering lights, all showing shock and bewilderment.
[Killed one E-class Superhuman; milestone recorded, total E-class Superhumans killed: 2.]
Listening to the system prompt in his ear, Dice Monster slowly raised his head, curving his lips into a smile.
The ends of his four mechanical legs, with "click clack" sounds, propped on the broken partitions between desks, lifting his body high.
Seeing this, Blue Owl, while retreating, said to the employees huddling behind him, "Hurry and leave through that emergency passage over there; this guy is not on the same level as the skeleton creature from before."
Hearing this, the employees nodded, quickly bent down, and shuffled along the wall toward the office, then scrambled into the emergency passage beside the elevator. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Without turning back, Dice Monster said, "Well done. Getting the civilians out means they won't be involved in our fight, and the reputation of lord strange thing is saved."
Then, the office was shrouded in momentary silence until the Blue Owl behind Dice Monster spoke slowly, breaking the silence.
"You... you killed him, why did you do that?"
"Well, I am a villain, isn't that obvious?"
Dice Monster spread his hands and said slowly.
"Oh, Dice Monster doesn't kill; Dice Monster never kills the innocent; Dice Monster just loves to cause trouble, but deep down, he's not bad. Look at this world, everywhere there are labels. Everyone likes to stick labels on others, yet few really take the time to understand a person with their own eyes."
He paused, his tone becoming stern, "Actually, I'm also a superhero. Following in the footsteps of my dad, I wanted to be that despised hero who thinks he's so cool. Even when others call me a terrifying vigilante, I see myself as a lone hero in the dark alleys. None of them understand me; I only do what I think is right, yet always leave those murderers a thread of life—even that ghostly guy who ate children alive."
He pressed his forehead and sighed deeply, "Oh my god, it's disgustingly stupid."
Lifting his head, he shrugged and continued, "Not like me. I never let murderers off the hook; that fake sympathy is so disgusting. Bastards deserve to be eradicated, chopped up and fed to pigs."
Having said all this to himself, he genuinely puzzled the four superheroes of Bai Yi Squad.
If they had to describe it, the villains they'd encountered before were either bloodthirsty or insane, but they had never seen such a bizarre character.
It sounded like he was ranting, yet his tone was especially calm, like an outsider sitting on a sofa eating popcorn while commenting on something.
However, as soon as the words fell, Dice Monster took advantage of everyone's lack of reaction and pressed down his right hand hard, shooting out two strands of webbing from his right hand toward the Telekinesis Nun's right hand, sticking to her left and right hands respectively.
Dice Monster knew very well that the nun could only release her superpowers when her hands were free, so he controlled her hands first.
By doing so, he could prevent her telekinesis, avoiding being suppressed by her.
For him, the Telekinesis Nun was without a doubt the greatest threat in the Bai Yi Squad: telekinesis, that indefinable thing, is virtually invincible among Superpower Users. If he didn't take her down swiftly, she would become a threat once she grew.
Next, Dice Monster pulled with all his strength on the webbing, drawing the nun towards his body.
Meanwhile, he also released a one-time Skill Card "Poison Blood Spray" from his pack as a precaution.
As expected, the Mechanical Pioneer immediately lifted his chainsaw next to the nun, the high-speed rotating chainsaw cutting through the webbing he shot out.
But in the next instant, before the nun could even raise her right hand, she was hit by a stream of dark purple blood coming straight at her.
In the last moment, she wrapped her abdomen with telekinesis, trying hard to counteract the impact of the blood, but her body was still sent flying dozens of meters.
"Nun!"
Bai Yi growled, swiftly flapping his wings to her side, and with concern, picked her up from the ground.
"I'm poisoned..." The nun's forehead beaded with perspiration as she lifted her trembling right hand to her abdomen, rasping, "But I can resist the poison with telekinesis. You guys finish the fight quickly, then take me back to the medical department of the Association Building."
"Understood, then wait here for us for a bit."
Bai Yi said gravely, slowly turning his head to look at Dice Monster, "Why... why are you doing this, what exactly is your purpose?"
"You're asking a wanted criminal, 'Why are you doing this'?"
Dice Monster shook his head and continued, "It's utterly ridiculous. Birdman brother, don't you need an IQ test to be a superhero these days? Superhero Association sure is easygoing."
"Shut up!"
In the midst of speaking, Mechanical Pioneer and Blue Owl had already flanked Dice Monster from both front and back.
