Chapter 47: Killer... Squad?

What is coming? As Ding Mo wondered, he suddenly saw Gu Zixu point her gloved index finger at the group and say decisively:

"A group of dragons cannot go a day without a leader, and a Killer Squad cannot be without an organization!"

The few people looked at each other, and Yan Yu said in a muffled voice:

"Uh, Miss Gu, we aren't killers."

"Acting with me, you are killers!" Gu Zixu shook her head.

"You mean," Ding Mo spoke up to take over the conversation:

"You want to be the boss?"

The moment the word 'boss' fell, Gu Zixu suddenly flew into a kick, aiming for Ding Mo's face!

This kick was extremely fast, clearly having undergone professional training!

Hey!?

Ding Mo was caught off guard; he only had time to tilt his face back slightly before being covered by the afterimage.

Two seconds later,

Ding Mo looked at the shoe stopped in front of him and let out a sigh of relief. Shaking his face, Ding Mo looked at Gu Zixu.

That young girl had a serious expression on her face at this moment, but because it was a static image, combined with her somewhat youthful features, she actually looked rather cute.

That's right, the time in the surroundings had almost frozen!

This was a thought that occurred to Ding Mo after he grasped how to lower the "Curtain":

Since the world's time becomes incomparably slow after the "Curtain" appears,

Does that not amount to a certain degree of "Time Stop"?!

Time Stop, this is an ability that can be called bug-level in all major movies and television dramas!

To think he actually learned it?!

While Ding Mo felt it was somewhat unreal, he wanted to bypass Gu Zixu's raised, shapely, and rounded long leg to flick her face.

That'll teach you little girl to act mature!

But soon, his mischievous thought failed.

Ding Mo twisted and turned on the spot, struggling for a long time, only to find that he couldn't move at all; he could only twist his waist and tilt his head within this square inch,

and turning around or something was already the limit; he simply couldn't move freely in the solidified time like in the movies.

"It really isn't that simple..." Ding Mo sighed in disappointment.

When he was at the Processing Bureau before, he never dared to try this move for fear of being noticed by the people there.

So it was only now that he knew this move had such great limitations.

Well, but it could be considered as having gained some ability... Thinking this, Ding Mo noticed the "Curtain" seemed to be gradually dissipating.

"Compared to that 'Guaishou' who can catch bullets with bare hands, my Time Stop limit seems to be longer, about 3 minutes." Ding Mo made a summary in his heart, watching the small long leg that had already begun to spring back.

After thinking about it, he didn't dodge.

He had just observed clearly that the young girl didn't really want to kick him; it should just be some means of establishing authority and gaining leadership.

The light waves of the daylight spilling onto the "Curtain" disappeared, and the flow of time in the surroundings returned to normal.

Gu Zixu, this usually calm young girl, looked at Ding Mo, who didn't dodge or evade and didn't even blink in the face of her attack,

and couldn't help but show surprise: "Why did you not avoid it?"

Because I didn't... Ding Mo's thoughts stopped; he suddenly realized how he had started acting edgy too?

But for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he had to reveal a smile.

The "Curtain" was his trump card now, so it was better to keep it hidden.

Gu Zixu also reacted at this time; she looked at the smiling Ding Mo and praised:

"It was my lack of insight; I never thought Your Excellency was such a person!"

To be able to see through her attack and intent in an instant and make the judgment not to dodge or evade, he was definitely no ordinary person!

The others only then realized what had happened—the two had actually engaged in a round of combat while the people around hadn't even reacted!

They looked at the two, all with the eyes of looking at a Guaishou.

The swiftness of Gu Zixu's movements just now was hard for them to even see clearly! They admitted they wouldn't be able to block it. Even if her force was limited due to her petite stature,

but what if her next move wasn't a kicking technique, but that short blade behind her? At that time, as her opponent, one would die without even knowing how they died.

But Ding Mo was different; not only could he see the movements clearly, but according to her statement, he had even seen through them!

Where on earth did these two tough characters come from?

He Xiang, the woman who had mocked Gu Zixu on the car earlier, had already widened her eyes at this moment, rejoicing that she hadn't truly angered her.

"Since that's the case..." The shorter Gu Zixu walked over, looked up, and patted Ding Mo on the shoulder:

"You, are Killer No. 2! Is that okay?"

Setting aside the strangeness in her words, the young girl's attitude toward Ding Mo seemed to have changed slightly; this act should be asking for Ding Mo's opinion on her leading the team.

Killer No. 2... Although Ding Mo was already somewhat used to it, he still couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, after thinking for a moment, he still nodded.

In terms of leading a team, his experience was almost zero, and there was no need to take on this heavy responsibility, so it was fine to leave it to her.

Moreover, whether to actually take orders or not, he would still have to judge based on the situation at that time.

Gu Zixu nodded again, then looked at the others,

"You all will act as our assistants. I will protect you."

Hearing this, no one objected. Everyone had seen her skills, and there was a calm temperament about her; in fact, several people had already subconsciously treated her as their backbone by now.

"Since that's the case, the Killer Squad is officially established!" Gu Zixu said, actually drawing the short blade from behind her, as if performing some kind of Ritual.

After she finished, she said:

"Alright, let's head over there next."

Following her gaze, a milk tea shop on the side of the street appeared in everyone's eyes.

Seeing her walk ahead, everyone was filled with confusion.

What is she doing now?

Seeing that everyone's feet hadn't moved, a somewhat helpless smile appeared on Zhang Yunfan's dark face:

"Everyone, let's just trust her; she is someone who has survived 5 Typewriter Tasks."

5 times! His words shocked the group!

Ding Mo was also surprised and asked: "You really know her? What exactly is the deal with her?"

"Ah, it doesn't count as knowing her, it's just that I know of her unilaterally." Zhang Yunfan started walking and said:

"In our Isolation Zone, she is quite the 'big shot'."

"Let's put it this way: if it weren't for her brain being damaged by Pollution, constantly going on about assassins this and assassins that, and having certain cognitive issues,"

"she would have been recruited by the Processing Bureau long ago. She wouldn't be here throwing her life away."

"Damn losers! Why have you stopped? Hurry up and keep moving!"

A roar came through the specialized earpieces, causing the few people sitting in the milk tea shop to look annoyed.

"Let me tell you, only if you bring the escort target can you come out; don't think about playing tricks! Or running away!"

"Hello, employer," Gu Zixu spoke up at this moment. She sat at a small round milk tea table, her voice calm,

"You don't need to worry. Once I discuss tactics with my team, completing the Task will be effortless!"

"Damn losers! You don't need to discuss tactics, just keep walking forward..."

Gu Zixu signaled for everyone to take off their earpieces just like she did,

and then, she took out that black document pouch.

"Damn it!" Inside a large black and green tent, the communications officer cursed and turned to report:

"Sir, they have started to disobey orders!"

The "Sir" he spoke of was none other than Lu Tianxu.

At this moment, he was standing in the center of the tent, seemingly pondering something. Surrounding him was a circle of electronic equipment and busy personnel.

A subordinate in black beside him heard this and snorted:

"I said it before, we should have put remote-controlled explosive collars on their necks! Make them behave and listen!"

Lu Tianxu shook his head: "You know, this time it's not appropriate."

The subordinate in black snorted coldly and didn't speak again.

"Has that guy shown any changes?" Lu Tianxu suddenly asked.

A staff member nearby replied: "Still in a dormant state; should we wake him up now?"

"No, the longer it drags on, the better. For this incident, time is on our side..." Lu Tianxu said, taking an apple from a backpack nearby and starting to gnaw on it right there.
