Chapter 543: Unexpected Ending, Magical Action Blockbuster
"Excuse me, have you seen a demon, uh, I mean a suit monster, pass by here?"
Broly put Jackie Chan down on the ground, took the Agent Polaroid from Jackie Chan's hand, and filmed Jackie Chan asking passersby about Zhongsu's traces.
"You mean that big guy who moves really fast, whose running makes the ground go bang bang? That suit looks incredibly realistic……"
The passerby questioned actually knew, and his impression of Zhongsu was still very deep.
"You're connected to that suit monster, that guy flipped over my car parked on the roadside!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over aggressively.
Only after Jackie Chan said he would compensate, gave Captain Black's phone number, and explained they had to find the rampaging robot suit monster first did the middle-aged man who suffered losses point the way: "Your rampaging suit robot ran off in that direction."
"Let's go, Broly!"
Jackie Chan called out to the boy and took the lead chasing forward.
"Very good, not bad, this is Agent Long Shu's investigation footage."
Soul Xiao Yu floated at the side nodding.
"But I know where Zhongsu is, why not let me just take him there directly?"
"If we go find him directly, how will the fleeing demon become a super archdevil, and moreover, we would also lack the footage of Long Shu currently tracking the demon's traces."
"Alright, everything serves the plot."
Broly hasn't learned photography, but he has acted in dramas, so he can understand Xiao Yu's thinking.
Under controllable circumstances, let other characters have wonderful performances and experiences.
Broly followed behind Jackie Chan unhurriedly.
Continuing to film the other party without interfering, occasionally stopping to ask passersby for information.
On the other end, at the hotel side, the Black Hand Gang's people had already gone upstairs.
But regarding which room Jackie Chan was in, they were stumped.
The hotel has security; as criminals they aren't afraid of security, but they fear making a commotion might startle the snake, attracting Broly and Jackie Chan back.
So, La Su, Afeng and the others adopted the stupid method of disguising as hotel waitstaff, knocking on doors one by one to check the guests' identities inside.
"Hello sir, hotel service."
"But I didn't call for hotel service?"
"This is special service, you know."
"Eh, special service?!"
The man perked up with interest upon hearing this.
But as he opened the door, a hand reached in.
"This is special sleep service."
Black Tiger Ah Fu pinched the guest who wasn't the one they were looking for unconscious.
And they would still need some time to find the old man and the others living on the top floors.
"I can feel the power of thunder gathering in the sky, I need to go find a high place to absorb them!"
Thunder Demon Zhongsu ran toward Hollywood Hills, where the Hollywood sign and signal tower stand.
When Broly and Jackie Chan chased over here, the not-yet-dark sky was already covered in dark clouds, raindrops falling, lightning flashing, striking the signal tower, while Zhongsu stood atop it raising both hands high, seemingly accepting this massive thunder power.
"Rumble—"
Only now did thunder resound, Hollywood Hills trembling faintly from the booming thunder.
"Seems we're late."
Flickering lightning reflected on Jackie Chan's somewhat pale face, while Soul Xiao Yu was very excited.
Zhongsu wrapped in lightning over there was exactly the supervillain she anticipated for the documentary.
"Broly, Jackie Chan? You two arrived just in time, come witness the mighty power I possess after fully recovering my strength!"
Zhongsu saw them, and his current strength, recovered to peak state — even stronger than peak state — made his confidence explode.
"Thunder aid me, lightning and thunder!"
He waved a hand, and a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, continuing unbroken after hitting the ground, slicing toward Broly and Jackie Chan.
Broly carried Jackie Chan to dodge, but the lightning acted like it had a homing lock, continuing to pursue tracking his trajectory.
The ground showed charred black traces under the powerful current, and the Hollywood sign was shattered by these lightning bolts during the pursuit.
"One lightning bolt not enough? Then let there be more!"
Seeing Broly could actually dodge, Zhongsu waved for the overcast sky to send down more continuous lightning; these bolts formed an encirclement, looking ready to fry Broly and Jackie Chan into charcoal.
Of course, Broly only needs to put up an energy shield and these lightning bolts are nothing, but the visual appeal might not be great.
Thinking it over, Broly raised a hand aiming at Zhongsu's side, threw out an energy bullet, the signal tower was directly hit and collapsed, Zhongsu fell with the tower, his continuous casting interrupted, the lightning vanishing before them.
The dissipating electric energy made the lowered Jackie Chan's hair stand on end, his whole body feeling a numb tingling sensation.
"Long Shu, you and Xiao Yu hide far away and help me film, I'll go fight a round with the other side."
"What, Xiao Yu, she came too?"
Jackie Chan looked around, quickly reacting.
"She took a talisman, is it the invisibility Snake Talisman?"
Soul Xiao Yu patted her forehead, not expecting Broly to expose her just like that.
"Not the Snake Talisman, it's the Sheep Talisman, she astral projected to follow here.
And I'm not sure if lightning would harm her, so I told her to hide far away."
"Alright, Broly, I know you mean well."
"Xiao Yu, I knew you wouldn't behave. Listen to Broly later and stay by my side."
Jackie Chan lectured the air.
"Uncle Long can't see me in my Soul State."
Xiao Yu, on the other side, said to the boy with some helplessness.
"I'm going over."
Broly waved a hand at the girl, then flew over and began performing with Zhong Su, who was climbing up from under the collapsed iron tower.
Wrapped in thunder, Zhong Su's Strength increased greatly; if he was a small power bank before, now he is a nuclear Power Plant.
Lightning shot in all directions; Zhong Su could also manipulate electromagnetic force to fly in the Sky, while Broly's body was wrapped in Qi, and he played aerial combat with this generating hippo demon.
"Oh, Broly, he really is a superman!"
Even Jackie Chan, who often performs moves violating Physics, had to exclaim this while watching the two figures in the sky throwing thunder balls and Energy Bullets at each other.
"Uncle Long, stop giving your commentary, hurry up and film this wonderful scene!"
Xiao Yu was anxious on the side, urging her own uncle not to just stare blankly, but Jackie Chan couldn't hear the voice of her in Soul State.
"Bang—"
A thunder ball smashed nearby, shattering the Ground, and also startled Jackie Chan awake.
"Oh, I almost forgot this; Broly said he would help film."
Jackie Chan, coming back to his senses, hurriedly raised the Agent Polaroid.
"Also, I still have to notify Dad and them."
He took out the satellite phone District 13 issued, and dialed Dad at the Hotel.
"Thunder Demon found; Broly is delaying the opponent. Okay, Dad, Tru and I will bring the Magic Potion and Castanets over right now."
In the Hotel Room, Dad called out to Tru.
【Great, no one's watching me, I can run!】
Walong saw this and was overjoyed.
"Oh, right, one more thing: don't forget to tie up this Bad Guy's hands and feet, can't let him run."
"Rest assured, Master; I've studied Tortoise Shell Binding a bit, guarantee it's tied tight; Walong absolutely can't escape."
Tru took out the Rope; Walong's face changed, but before he even had a chance to flee, he had already failed.
"For the sake of me once being your Boss, can you tie me in a normal Pose?"
"Alright, Walong, I Agree."
Tru agreed; Walong breathed a sigh of Relief, which counted as a stroke of luck in misfortune.
"Thump thump thump—"
At this moment a knock sounded, and Zhou, with a sharp voice, spoke from Outside.
"Hotel service, the special service kind."
"Sorry, we don't need special service."
Dad opened the door and saw the Black Hand Gang quartet.
"Looks like we finally found the Place."
Dad tried to Close the door, but Black Tiger Ah Fu struck a step ahead.
Dad was struck on the Neck by a Hand Knife and passed out directly.
"Master?!"
Tru was shocked and angry, turned around and rushed for the Front Door.
Walong was shoved over, his body hitting the table.
He fell to the Ground; the water cup on the table then dropped on his Forehead, and the Qi Rune was washed off.
"Scorpion Swings Tail, Angry Octopus, Antelope Kicks Legs!"
Tru was no match for Ah Fu; under Ah Fu's shouted moves mixing animal names — actually plain, unadorned punches and kicks — he was beaten down.
"You guys really came at the right time."
The Qi Rune washed off, the Holy Lord retook control of Walong's body; He snapped the ropes binding his hands and feet.
"Holy Lord, we need to leave Here fast; Broly and Jackie Chan could come back any time."
"They can't come back for now; that guy Zhong Su has been found; Broly and Jackie Chan are fighting Him right now."
"Then should we rush over to help?"
"Right, we do need to rush over to help; take this Old Geezer's brewed Potion and the Castanets over there, bring the Pangu Treasure Box, let's go!"
The Holy Lord directed the Black Hand Gang members to work, and they hurriedly left the Hotel Room.
"Hahaha, Broly, have you seen it? This is my true power; you beat me before only because your Luck was better."
Zhong Su laughed wildly, because from His Angle, Broly was being chased around by his own lightning, looking thrillingly dangerous and rather bedraggled.
Broly: "..."
If it weren't to cooperate with Xiao Yu's Plot and film a good scene, he would have insta-killed this hippo demon who merely got electrified long ago.
While being wildly attacked by greatly amplified Black Qi, he also let go and performed left dodges right evades, both very Effortful, making the scene look spectacular.
"Xiao Yu, has Uncle Long finished filming? When are Dad and Tru coming?"
Heavy rain fell, sky flashing with Lightning and Thunder, feeling like it would Wave down to Jackie Chan and Xiao Yu below; Broly shouted the question.
"Filmed it, but when Dad and Tru are coming, I Don't Know."
Xiao Yu also felt Dad and Tru were too slow; even if Dad and Tru walked over, they should have arrived by now, yet no one came for a long time.
"Hurry them up. This guy's lightning wave covers too wide an area. If this continues, I'll have to consider your safety and won't be able to avoid finishing him off."
"Hold on, Broly. I'll make a call to check."
Jackie Chan couldn't see Xiao Yu, but he could hear Broly's voice. He quickly pulled out his satellite phone and dialed.
"Oh my god, what happened on Dad's side? They're not picking up my call."
No one answered Jackie Chan's call, and he began to worry.
"I'll go back and check."
Xiao Yu also started to worry, her soul flying quickly toward the hotel.
"You want to finish me off? Do you think you can do it?"
Zhong Su flew over and pounced, and Broly kicked him flying with one kick.
"An attack that's painless and itchless. I'm getting stronger and stronger, while you're about to no longer be my opponent!"
Zhong Su laughed heartily, completely immersed in the excitement of beating up Broly, not at all considering that the boy opposite might be faking it.
"Dad, Tru, what happened to you two?"
Back in the hotel room, seeing Dad and Tru lying on the ground, Xiao Yu quickly returned to her own body and shook the two people on the ground awake.
"Dad, what happened to me? Oh, right, the Black Hand Gang showed up at the front door."
After Dad woke up, he was stunned for a moment, then recalled what had just happened.
"They knocked Dad out and rescued Walong."
Tru rubbed the back of his head, which hurt a little, sat up, and said.
"Forget that for now, Dad, where are the castanets and potions you prepared?"
Seeing that the two were fine, Xiao Yu felt relieved, but now she cared more about finishing the documentary. If Dad and Tru didn't hurry over there, they'd have no scenes left.
"Oh no, they stole the castanets and potions for dealing with the Lightning Demon."
Dad's face changed greatly when he discovered the castanets and potions were gone.
"Is there still time to prepare them now?"
Xiao Yu also became nervous. The key items were gone—could this movie still be filmed?
"This needs quite a bit of time. Can Jackie Chan and Broly hold out?"
Dad was very worried.
"Dad, I think you should ask if the Lightning Demon can hold out?"
"What? The potions and castanets were stolen?"
Jackie Chan was greatly shocked after receiving Dad's call.
"If you can't hold out, retreat first. As long as the green mountains remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood."
Dad's voice came from the other side of the receiver.
"Okay, I know. Hey, Broly..."
Jackie Chan shouted toward the sky. Just as he was about to call Broly to run, he saw the Saiyan boy in the sky rush in front of the Lightning Demon, now beating Zhong Su violently.
Hearing Jackie Chan's shout, Broly kicked the beaten Zhong Su down, turned around, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Dad said that if we can't hold out, we can retreat."
Jackie Chan answered somewhat awkwardly. Broly didn't seem unable to hold out; in fact, he looked like he had regained the upper hand.
【Is it Xiao Yu's new filming arrangement?】
Broly thought, preparing to retreat first.
"You think you can escape!"
Zhong Su, who had been beaten down and smashed a mountain peak, was still a bit panicked, but seeing Broly want to leave, he thought the boy was powerless and threw a ball of lightning at him, still wanting to fight again.
"Demons and monsters, quickly leave, demons and monsters, quickly leave~"
Just at this time, the sound of a curse rang out.
"What?"
The voice was loud; even the rain didn't block the curse's sound. Everyone on the field heard it. Jackie Chan thought Dad and Tru had rushed over, but looking in the direction of the sound, he saw the Black Hand Gang and others on the other side jumping and dancing like gods.
"Ah, Holy Lord, what do you want to do?"
Zhong Su also saw the people over there and roared in shock and anger.
"What do I want to do? Of course, to pay you back for treating me as cannon fodder."
The Holy Lord replied.
As a demon, he couldn't use the Positive Qi Curse, but he could guide humans like the Black Hand Gang to use the Positive Qi Curse.
"You abandoned me, and now I will also abandon you, La Su. Quick, play the castanets."
"Okay, Holy Lord."
La Su played the castanets, and the power of the curse shot from the castanets toward Zhong Su. Zhong Su wanted to flee but was caught up.
"Holy Lord, don't forget our agreement. Don't you want to remove the Possession Curse on yourself?"
His current strength was astonishing; even the Positive Qi Curse could only be resisted briefly.
"Haha, I haven't forgotten. But our agreement was just to let you out of Hell, not that I couldn't put you back in Hell after letting you out. This is my repayment for you abandoning me and running away."
"Damn it, you'll regret this."
"Whether I regret it or not is for later. Right now, it's you who should regret it!"
Zhong Su couldn't hold on anymore. The thunder power inside his body was squeezed out, and the curse pulled him back to the place where the Shen Yu Zhi Men was located. The Shen Yu Zhi Men in Galaxy Film Studio opened, and the Lightning Demon was sealed again.
"Afeng, Ru, I really didn't expect that we could also be saviors who seal demons."
La Su was very excited, clacking her castanets nonstop.
"Hmph~"
The Saint Lord possessing Walong let out a cold snort, looking at Jackie Chan and Broly in the sky over there holding the Agent Polaroid aimed this way, and said: "We will meet again!"
Leaving those words, the Saint Lord waved a hand, stirring up a cloud of black smoke, and took the Black Hand Gang members, disappearing from the original place.
Broly rubbed his chin, always feeling that the development of this story plot was somewhat strange.
"What, the Saint Lord who fled, they helped you seal the Thunder Lightning Demon?"
After the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, Broly brought Jackie Chan to find Father and the others purchasing potion ingredients at the Grocer, and informed them of this astonishing news.
"This is truly unexpected."
Xiao Yu opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Isn't this your filming plan?"
Broly asked somewhat curiously.
"I have no such plan, however, this outcome seems more interesting."
Xiao Yu connected the Agent Polaroid with her phone, reviewing the Black Hand Gang and the others who cast the spell to send the demon back to Hell at the end, and she didn't dislike this kind of unexpected outcome.
"The rain stopped, the Hollywood Handprint Ceremony activity seems like it can still be attended, are you going?"
Tru asked.
"Going."
Xiao Yu answered immediately.
"Eh, Xiao Yu, weren't you not interested?"
"Yes, I indeed have no interest, but I discovered that the footage I shot today seems a bit long, I need to find a professional to help me edit it."
That night, at the Hollywood Handprint Ceremony site, Xiao Yu encountered Director Larry, Xiao Yu took out the raw footage she had spent a day shooting, and somehow negotiated with him, anyway Director Larry was willing to lend his studio and willing to help edit the raw footage.
And the condition was, the child actor (Broly) and the big actor (Jackie Chan) in the film must star in some of the movies he shoots in the future.
"Miss Xiao Yu, I must remind you, if you breach the contract, then after your film 'Super Agent vs Thunder Lightning Demon' is released, I will sue you into bankruptcy."
"No problem, Mr. Larry, I am different from demons, I keep my promises!"
Before leaving Hollywood, Xiao Yu and Larry became good friends, but regarding when the popcorn action blockbuster 'Super Agent vs Thunder Lightning Demon' would be released, she still had to discuss with the investor (District 13's Sheriff Black), after all it involves a secret organization.
"I look forward to your good news."
"Xiao Yu, how did you do it, making a Hollywood Director see us off?"
Jackie Chan drove the car, still feeling things were somewhat magical.
"Very simple, only need to use one day's time, take a handheld video camera to shoot an action blockbuster on this side of Hollywood, then find him, show him the footage and that's it."
Xiao Yu answered.
"If we are in a movie right now, I feel it should be an overhead close-up of our car, then pull up high, our voices getting smaller and smaller as the vehicle goes away, finally the 'The End' credits emerge..."
Tru's words made Father complain: "This isn't a Hong Kong film."
