Chapter 115: Heartless

Bai Cangshu followed the crowd of evacuees, swarming out of the building together; he even let out a few screams to fit the scene, but the smile on his face could not be hidden no matter what.

Bai Cangshu knew the nature of Vought International and The Seven, concluding that his reputation dropping to negative with the world's most powerful force the moment he entered the mission world was no coincidence, and it certainly wasn't because he had injured a random driver.

The evil deeds committed by the Superheroes of Vought International exceeded what ordinary people could imagine.

Therefore, he very smoothly associated it with the reason of a Reincarnator.

He and his group had used an item to track a certain Reincarnator from the 【9527】 team into this world, and that guy possessed a certain "home-field advantage."

Just like the confrontation mission he had experienced in the Dragon Ball World, the opponent must have entered this world earlier than him and his group, and thus, through some method, had gained the trust of Vought International in advance.

That was why the phenomenon occurred where his reputation immediately dropped to negative the moment he and his group entered this world.

The corners of Bai Cangshu's mouth hooked up; it was just a pity that it wasn't done thoroughly enough.

Bai Cangshu understood that there was a Reincarnator behind the scenes targeting him and his group; the opponent was clearly trying to use the Plot Characters of this world to eliminate him and the others who were hunting them down.

Then, the opponent's actions were very easy to predict.

The strongest Plot Characters in this world were undoubtedly The Seven and those top-tier Ability Users like 【Soldier Boy】.

The Ability Users in The Boys world were more in line with physical laws compared to those in Marvel or DC.

For example, Homelander; although he also possessed 【Steel Body】, 【Super-speed Flight】, 【Infinite Strength】, 【Heat Vision】, 【X-ray Vision】, 【Super Hearing】, and so on, he could be considered a super-nerfed version of Superman.

But he was unable to lift up a crashing airplane; the reason was that he did not possess that kind of special 【Bio-field】. If he forcibly lifted a large airplane that had lost power, the only result would be to pierce straight through the plane.

Despite this, Homelander's type of Superpower still possessed a terrifying suppression force against most low-level Reincarnators.

Bai Cangshu threw a high-explosive grenade and immediately slipped away, intending to use that 【Jiebo】 as a tool to attract Homelander's attention.

Having successfully escaped, Bai Cangshu glanced at the figure in the sky that was the center of attention, his heartbeat and pulse gradually becoming synchronized with the frequency of the people around him.

Homelander was capable of monitoring a wide range of sounds simultaneously and also possessed the ability to distinguish enemies by observing heartbeats and even sweat secretion.

Objectively speaking, although Homelander was psychologically unsound, in terms of ability, he could definitely be considered comprehensive.

Bai Cangshu disappeared from the crowd, moving against the current, not at all worried that the 【Card】 battle would be snatched away by 【E-Tong】 and 【Jiebo】.

Finding a Reincarnator who was hiding in Vought International and knew how to use The Seven to eliminate enemies for themselves was not a simple matter.

Bai Cangshu's Footwork was fast, walking all the way toward a remote neighborhood.

Bai Cangshu took in all the posters on the surrounding walls; among them, the figure of 【Starlight】 had appeared in The Seven. This woman, dressed in revealing and sexy attire, possessed the ability to absorb electricity and then fly, emit strong light, and had super strength.

Her appearance meant that the time node or timeline of this world must be after 【Translucent】 of The Seven had already died.

The Anti-Hero faction, The Boys, should also have been officially formed.

According to general Logic, joining the Black Noir Faction, which was hostile to the Vought Faction, was the most ideal; after all, the Black Noir Faction had government support and possessed a certain amount of power.

But Bai Cangshu did not have this idea.

He looked at the increasingly dilapidated environment around him and felt that he could perhaps try a different path.

"Yo, that Asian, don't keep walking forward; this isn't some tourist attraction, okay?"

Several men wearing loose hoodies with pistols tucked into their waists walked out from the inconspicuous houses in the street, their gazes scanning Bai Cangshu up and down, seemingly judging Bai Cangshu's identity.

Bai Cangshu revealed a smile; free Meilijian was never short of poor areas, especially in this world that was incredibly chaotic due to Superpowers.

The person walking at the very front looked at Bai Cangshu and opened his mouth, his tongue extending half a meter like a venomous snake; the intent of intimidation was very obvious.

Although many people in this world possessed Superpowers from infancy due to the abuse of 【V Hao Huahuewu】, the types and strengths of the Superpowers were completely random.

Of course, there were powerful individuals like Homelander, but more were ordinary people who had undergone a small mutation in their bodies and gained Superpowers that couldn't be considered powerful at all.

These guys could neither participate in talent shows to become heroes nor rely on their abilities to commit crimes, eventually becoming a group of depraved people in the neighborhood.

Bai Cangshu looked at the few people and suddenly asked:

"Do you have any money on you?"

The burly white man standing in the back frowned, not knowing what this Asian meant at all.

He pushed aside his tongue-flicking companion and walked in front of Bai Cangshu.

Looking down at Bai Cangshu from a height.

"Before I get angry, you still have a chance to apologize."

Bai Cangshu raised his hand and, as if knocking on a door, lightly tapped the chest of this burly man who was over two meters tall.

Pfft!

A burst of Force broke out of the body; the curly-haired black man standing behind the burly man was stunned, almost doubting he had seen wrong, as the clothes on his boss's back had actually been pierced with a hole in an instant.

"You... uh-ugh..."

The burly man wanted to speak, but suddenly his whole body lost strength, and the blood foam surging from his chest completely blocked his throat.

Bai Cangshu maintained the posture of knocking on a door, a regretful smile on his face.

"Pity, it seems you didn't wait for my apology."

Thump.

The two-meter-plus white burly man fell to the ground and twitched a few times before he stopped breathing.

Only then did his few underlings realize what had happened, and they all subconsciously retreated to draw their guns. Bai Cangshu watched the few people, who were no more than three to five meters away from him, his posture quite relaxed; he pressed his hands down, his tone soothing.

"I just asked you, do you have any money on you?"

"Relax a little; perhaps I can lead you to get rich."

The person standing at the very back suddenly raised his muzzle and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Bai Cangshu tilted his head, exerted force with his toes, and his figure arrived in front of the opponent like a Ghost in an instant, throwing a punch.

Pfft!

Bai Cangshu punched through the opponent's stomach, his right hand reaching out from behind the opponent, and then he gave a forceful flick; the corpse rolled on the ground a few times and stopped breathing.

Bai Cangshu shook his hand; the 【Transparent World】 still saw the muscle movements of the few people clearly.

After Martial Arts Mastery reached Lv5, the ability of 【First of the First】 combined with the 【Transparent World】 made it almost impossible for Bai Cangshu to be attacked first by an opponent in close-quarters combat.

As long as the muscles made any movement, he could perceive the opponent's intent to attack, and then strike the opponent down a step ahead of time.

Or perhaps like now, predicting the shooter's firing trajectory and dodging at the same time the opponent pulled the trigger.

To dodge a bullet, you don't need to be faster than the bullet; you only need to be faster than the opponent pulling the trigger.

!

The remaining two were completely panicked by now, thinking they had encountered a powerful Ability User, and hurriedly dropped their guns and pulled out the loose dollars on their persons.

Bai Cangshu was very satisfied with this; after making the two strip all the money from the dead bodies, he tossed all that money to the two of them;

Then he asked the two small-time gangsters:

"Do you know of any other wealthy gangs nearby?"

The two looked at each other, understanding that Bai Cangshu wanted to make big money; at this moment, even the fear of someone having just been killed diminished quite a bit.

They talked over one another to introduce the distribution of forces nearby to Bai Cangshu; as a place where everyone carries guns, and given the current world background where many people possess Superpowers, almost every city displayed quite a martial spirit.

Bai Cangshu revealed a satisfied smile.

Since you want to use official forces to have a fight, then I might as well arrange a big one for you.

Bai Cangshu looked at the Tese 【Death Intent Senra】 flashing with purple radiance on his panel, and a more terrifying plan formed in his heart.

Superman is still restrained because he lacks "magic resistance," and Homelander, this weakened version of Superman, is actually not completely invincible either; what's more, Bai Cangshu actually knows that Homelander has a weak heart...

——

Jiebo watched with a sinister gaze on the television as Homelander, in front of a crowd of media, smilingly announced that the culprit who had just caused the building explosion and the serious injury and death of a taxi driver had been captured and brought to justice, and the city's peace had been defended once again.

In the shot, several women wearing black uniforms stood in front of the camera without saying a word, their eyes like stagnant water with no Wave, even appearing somewhat dull.

Jiebo took two big bites of salad; the taste was unbearable to him.

Slap!

He smashed the plate, pulled up the blonde woman who was shivering on the ground, tore open her clothes, and pressed her down onto the sofa.

He dressed as a monk, yet he was uninhibited, possessing even greater desires than those who do not cultivate the Buddhist Dao.

According to Jiebo's theory, it was because he bore more karmic obstacles, and this was bearing them on behalf of all living beings; therefore, he deserved to enjoy some privileges.

Such as "sex," such as "killing."

The male host twitching on the ground had completely lost his breath, and the woman could only emit painful wails.

Jiebo wantonly vented his desires, his mind contemplating the next course of action.

Meanwhile, on the roof of another villa not far away, a man in a coffee-colored trench coat put away his optical binoculars and said to the white-haired youth standing in a pool of blood:

"That guy Jiebo is doing that thing again; he really is just like the rumors say, suffering from sex addiction."

The youth shook the blood off his hands—the family of eight in this villa had all been killed by him—and upon hearing the man's words, he shook his head.

"Don't underestimate him; that guy's ability is somewhat eerie; I almost fell for it last time."

E-Tong rubbed his hands together, and a layer of blood-colored ice crystals fell off; his hands were already clean again.

At this moment, in an office at Vought Tower, Homelander was looking at a yellow-skinned man with an expressionless face.

"I don't care what conditions Stillwell promised you, but The Seven is entirely up to me."

"You just need to be a good Translucent, don't do anything extra, and we can... get along well."

Homelander's expression looked nothing like he wanted to get along peacefully with the other party.

But Wuxin still breathed a sigh of relief; Homelander still had a pathological attachment to Stillwell, and his own decision was correct; this way, he could use Homelander's hand to counter those few guys chasing him.

He nodded respectfully, then retreated to the side.

"Of course, The Seven will always be Homelander's The Seven."

Wuxin finally made Homelander reveal a smile.

Then Wuxin continued:

"As far as I know, those few guys who killed the real Translucent have formed an organization called The Boys, funded by certain people in the government, with the goal... of curbing us Superhumans."

"To be precise, it's probably to hunt down our The Seven."

Wuxin was still smiling; he held the upper hand now and no longer just thought about running away; he wanted to tear apart the hiding places and support of those few guys bit by bit, and finally make them regret it here.

Something came up today, one chapter less; there will be another chapter in the afternoon, sorry.
