Chapter 493: Hunter, Prey

"The more chaotic a place is, the more one understands the essence of survival. If you want to stay alive, the most important thing is not morality, rule of law, human rights, or social etiquette, but... power."

A man wearing a loose white T-shirt spoke eloquently on the second floor of a luxurious wooden house with a distinct Southeast Asian style.

This wooden house utilized a stilt design, raised significantly above the ground; the second floor was already equivalent to the height of a third floor in other buildings. Looking out, one could see the tops of the forest outside, as if it were a lush green sea.

Dozens of rifles and submachine guns were aimed at the other party at this moment, the soldiers' fingers hooked on the triggers. If the General gave the order, they would turn this handsome, tall, and peculiar man before them into a sieve.

But Suowen, whose skin was dark and whose stature was not particularly tall, hesitated to wave his hand down. He looked with a gloomy expression at this foreigner who had suddenly appeared in his residence.

From that appearance, one could tell at a glance that the other party was from Dongxia.

Suowen did not like people from Dongxia, but at this moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of dread. Just by looking at the man standing by the window, he felt as if his body had been coiled around by the most venomous snake.

Bai Cangshu turned his head back. Seeing that this General did not speak, he frowned. He had clearly lowered the amplitude of his Killing Intent Wave; the other party shouldn't be unable to even speak.

He walked in front of the silent Suowen and leaned down, his head less than a meter away from the other man.

"You don't agree with my words?"

Suowen felt a chilling aura suddenly appear before him. Subconsciously, he waved his right hand, and the next moment, a hail of bullets erupted instantly.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

Gunfire almost submerged the room. Suowen's feet trembled twice, and he crawled backward, preparing to retreat to a safe place first.

There had been so much news about 【Ability User】s recently; how could he not know? In fact, it was their Myanmar military that had first come into contact with these ability users. Over the past half year, many local military units had reported intelligence on similar "Special Forces" and "Superhuman"s.

With this guy appearing so abruptly before him, Suowen knew in his heart that the other party was likely one of those ability users.

Ability users were all dangerous. He did not agree with the approach taken by Korea, and he had never seen any ability user who claimed they wanted to protect this country; ability users were all a group of dangerous thugs.

Click!

A hand reached out from the smoke and grabbed Suowen's shoulder. Suowen felt the skin and flesh of his shoulder being pierced instantly. The hand inserted into his shoulder socket like a steel nail. In an instant, he lost his strength due to the intense pain and couldn't even struggle or tremble as he was pulled up.

"Stop! Cease fire! Stop it immediately!"

He hurriedly shouted loudly. These personal guards of his were very loyal and immediately stopped firing.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind blew, or perhaps it was someone exhaling heavily, but a powerful airflow did indeed surge in, instantly dispersing the smoke created by the gunfire in the room.

The man stood in place, completely unscathed.

"I asked, do you not agree with my words?"

The other party asked again. Suowen nodded hurriedly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the bullets had shattered the wooden building's window along with that entire wall, yet the other party was completely unaffected.

This guy was not on the same level as the few ability users he had previously ordered his army to surround and kill.

"Yes, you are right!"

Bai Cangshu received the answer, but the interest he had in having a proper chat with the other party had completely vanished.

He had merely felt a bit of sentiment because in this chaotic country of Myanmar, the government's President and Prime Minister had been completely sidelined, and the real power now rested entirely in the hands of this Deputy Commander-in-Chief before him and another higher-ranking Commander-in-Chief.

He had thought that a guy who gained absolute power through the barrel of a gun should be able to be more "reasonable" and cooperate with him obediently after witnessing his power.

But...

Humans were, after all, just that foolish.

He gripped the other man's shoulder, lifted him up bit by bit, and then said,

"Three days from now, someone will announce that the world's first Paradise city belonging to ability users will be completed on the border between Myanmar and Dongxia. At that time, I hope you will be present and announce that Myanmar will never obstruct anyone from entering or leaving this city."

"I..."

Suowen subconsciously started to speak, but after Bai Cangshu lost his good mood, his Killing Intent Wave had been constantly circling the other man's body.

"Shh... think clearly before you speak, General. Sometimes, you only get one chance."

Click—the sound of a bullet being chambered rang out. A young man with dark skin stepped forward, a silver-white firearm in his hand pressed against the center of Bai Cangshu's brow.

"You dare threaten the General?!"

Pfft!

Flesh and blood exploded like fireworks. Suowen blinked, and his vision was already a sea of red. Bancha, who had been so passionate and loyal just a moment ago, was left with only his lower torso, collapsed on the ground.

The other personal guards were shocked, then pulled their triggers again.

Bai Cangshu watched as each bullet spun and tore through the air toward him. This speed was something he could now see completely clearly.

This time, Bai Cangshu did not use Wind-Turning to spare these people's lives.

Jet-black Armament Haki covered his entire body. Clang, clang, clang...

After the dense gunfire, blazing flames ignited. The personal guard unit screamed as they fell to the ground, rolling about, and in a moment, all of them were lifeless.

The blazing flames even continued to burn; the foul-smelling flesh and blood emitted a strange odor after being roasted by the flames. Suowen did not vomit; he was simply terrified to the point of turning pale.

Bai Cangshu slowly loosened his right hand and wiped the blood on the man's military uniform before saying,

"You have good luck. It seems that ability users have already become a consensus here..."

Bai Cangshu had passively revealed his special ability, yet it did not trigger the space's cleanup mission, and Suowen was thus able to survive.

"But this kind of luck is not common."

Thump, Suowen slid off his chair and crawled on the ground.

"I understand... I understand!"

He dared not resist any longer.

Bai Cangshu nodded, preparing to leave, but after thinking for a moment, he added,

"Tell that Commander-in-Chief later that if he does not agree, I will have you replace him."

Bai Cangshu then walked to the balcony, his body bent, and with a bang, he flew directly into the sky. The wooden building emitted a creaking sound, unable to bear the load.

Suowen hurriedly fled downstairs.

——

When Bai Cangshu returned to 【Paradise】, the Reincarnator 【Mai】 who possessed the Superpower of Instant Movement was already waiting there.

After he learned that the master here was Tao Baibai, he did not completely flee the country as he had previously claimed; on the contrary, after doing two things for Tao Baibai, he stayed behind.

Now, he even acts like a lackey, following by Bai Cangshu's side.

"Lord Tao Baibai, you should just let me handle such trivial matters."

He rubbed his hands together, seemingly wanting to show off a bit.

But before he could continue his "fawning," a woman wearing black-rimmed glasses stepped out of a car, her eyes giving him an uncomfortable feeling.

"Sir, the things you wanted have already been prepared by Miss Li."

Bai Cangshu nodded; he could finally be considered to be enjoying some of the benefits of building a force, as he no longer had to repeatedly enter and exit the Infinite Dimensional Space for minor tasks.

Naturally, there are some Reincarnators who can help him resolve them.

Just like finding someone to purchase a new set of 【Directional Anchor】 and 【Recording Pointer】 to lock onto Bai Mian, such matters had already been handled for him by people sent by Jin Yuean.

As they walked into this rather magnificent golden manor, Jin Yuean whispered a reminder.

"Black Butler says that the Type-Moon World is somewhat special, and there is Intelligence suggesting that Reincarnators who enter this world through irregular means will be met with some unpleasant treatment; would you like to postpone this plan, my lord..."

She spoke rather tactfully, but in truth, Black Butler's original words were that the Type-Moon World poses great danger to Reincarnators who enter irregularly, and there have been many past cases where those who entered the Type-Moon World to hunt others ended up both perishing.

The 【Inhibitory Force】 of that world is extremely active, constantly interfering with the progression of the world, and at the same time, there exist many unpredictable timelines.

As a Derivative World, it is likely one of the most volatile and has the greatest fluctuation in difficulty.

Black Butler, Jin Yuean, and Li Qingzi, in fact, none of them wish for Bai Cangshu to enter that world to hunt down Bai Mian.

But Bai Cangshu merely curled the corners of his mouth, his smile mocking.

"It is precisely because it is like that, that fellow would so easily let you all track him~"

Jin Yuean's pupils constricted, but Bai Cangshu laughed even more derisively.

——

In the Infinite Dimensional Space, Bai Mian sat upon a high throne in her Private Space; her Private Space was decorated to resemble an ancient imperial court.

"Hahaha, that fellow Jin Ruohai is truly amusing, still thinking he managed to deceive me..."

"And those few idiots, tsk tsk, none of them are smart."

Her eyes lacked focus, as if she were looking at that cunning Tao Baibai in her memories.

"If it were you, you should know that was a flaw I intentionally revealed, how about it, do you dare to follow, Tao Baibai..."

"Heh~"
