After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS-Chapter 176 - 149: Moonlight Mansion

[October 3, 8:17 PM]

[Moonlight Mansion, Lakefront Business District, Outer Square]

The "Moonlight Mansion" is a landmark of New Moon City's Lakefront Business District. The towering skyscraper stands proudly under the night sky, surrounded by soft neon halos, symbolizing the city's prosperity.

The Moonlight Mansion square is bustling with people today, as usual. There are noticeably more security personnel than before; they have set up guides and control the crowd flow to prevent stampedes.

The reason for the heightened security tonight is the arrival of special guests.

315 teachers and students from Chiyang Attached Primary School organized an after-school event; they are collectively watching a movie on the 12th floor at the "Xinghai Cinema."

Chiyang Attached Primary School is an elite school in New Moon City, with very stringent admission requirements. Students must excel in all areas—ethics, intelligence, physical education, aesthetics. Their families must also afford an annual tuition of millions.

The children attending this school all come from elite families, without exception. Some are offspring of entrepreneurs, some are descendants of nobility.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are an indispensable part of New Moon City's future. Every one of them is the hope of their parents; even a little bubble-blowing, silly-smiling child dragged out now could be a prominent figure of the city in twenty years.

To protect the safety of these young elites, the Moonlight Mansion property management has specially arranged elite security forces.

These security personnel are not the stereotypical gatekeepers; each has served in frontline troops and maintained excellent condition after retirement; all are extraordinary beings.

Among them are Blood Code Carriers, mostly in the "High Tier of Awakening," with a few having already reached the "Initial Tier of Ascension."

The Prosthetic Implanters have all undergone full-body prosthetic replacements, equipped with "Ordinary Management Level 1" or "Stringently Managed Level 3" components.

There are currently no Spiritual Brain Modifiers; after all, fierce beasts look too terrifying. Using such creatures for security might have more negative effects than positive.

At this moment, a Prosthetic Implanter security guard is scanning the crowd. His eyes, equipped with a sophisticated electronic system, can penetrate clothing and skin barriers, seeing the human body clearly.

If any visitors are illegally carrying weapons, they will be detected immediately.

Suddenly, the guard notices a group of more than twenty tourists.

Leading them is a man clad in a feather robe with tied hair, resembling a warrior; those sharp eyes send a chill down one's spine.

More importantly, the prosthetic eyes fail to scan him.

Each time they gaze at him, the system reports an error...

This means the man carries highly advanced counter-surveillance electronic units.

The guard discreetly switches to his communication channel, saying: "Situation at post 7. One o'clock direction from me, outside the Rote Cafe there's a man in a feather robe, identity unknown, suspected Prosthetic Implanter. Everyone be alert; I'll proceed with a check."

"Post 6, received."

"Post 41, received."

"Post 19, received."

"..."

After receiving his colleagues' responses, the guard approaches the man in the feather robe.

Other guards also discreetly lock onto him.

The guard stops the feather robe man and politely asks: "Hello, are you visiting the Moonlight Mansion?"

Feather Robe Man: "Correct, just visiting."

The guard says in an official tone: "Detection suggests you may be a Prosthetic Implanter. According to regulations, please present your identification chip."

"We will conduct network verification on the public safety platform. Once your identity is confirmed, you are free to browse. Apologies for any inconvenience caused."

The feather robe man does not respond, merely offering a profound smile at the guard.

Behind the feather robe man, someone laughs enigmatically: "Mr. Muto, seems we can't make a grand entrance."

This strange laughter leaves the guard puzzled. He is about to repeat the request when suddenly his co-worker's urgent voice comes through the communication channel.

"Post 7, post 7! We've got a situation! I recognize him! This guy is the Crow's Nest's Muto Dongying, New Moon City's S-grade fugitive!"

The guard breaks out in cold sweat.

The colleague continues over the channel: "Keep him stable; I'll contact the Anti-Violence Fourth Section right away!"

The guard feigns calmness, friendly saying to Muto Dongying: "Hello, if it's convenient, could you follow me this way?"

Muto Dongying smiles mysteriously: "Aren't you contacting the Anti-Violence Fourth Section? Then make the call quickly."

The guard's smile freezes.

Muto Dongying taps his temple, grimacing as he reveals his sharp white teeth: "Kiddo, your crappy communication chip is like chatting on public screens within my counter-surveillance units."

The guard reacts quickly, instantly activating his artificial spine, intending to create distance.

In entering bullet time, movements of the surrounding crowd become extremely slow.

However, in this slow-motion time, he witnesses Muto Dongying suddenly vanish, morphing into a twisted shadow attacking.

The fact that the opponent moves at such speed even in his bullet time signifies an irreparable power difference between them!

"Whoosh—"

The guard only sees a flash of cold light as his vision begins to spin. In the moment before losing consciousness, he sees his decapitated body collapsing to the ground.

"Damn... He's killed someone!!!" The sudden slaughter plunges the crowd into chaos, with cries rising everywhere.

Tourists jostle and flee in all directions, some constantly falling and suffering trampling. Elderly people cough up blood as children cry helplessly.

The security channel echoes a voice of alarm: "Everyone attention! The target's prosthetics are at least military-grade! Be cautious in combat! Be cautious in combat!"

Muto Dongying presses his palm-blades against the security guard's corpse, wiping the blood on the uniform, and sneers: "To be precise, they are 'Military Level 2'. Describe it more accurately, Kunoya Road."

He swings the blade, his smile turning menacing: "Brothers, let's begin. Kill freely, leave none behind."

Behind him, more than twenty elite Crow's Nest thugs move simultaneously, some entering bullet time, others activating Blood Code Ability, swiftly charging at the scattering guards.

This is a battle with no suspense.

Though these guards are extraordinary beings retired from elite troops and can easily crush ordinary thugs and robbers, they possess a stark power tier difference compared to the current enemies.

These Crow's Nest thugs are elite chosen from hundreds, Blood Code carriers are "Promoted High Tier," and Prosthetic Implanters have full body replacements of "Stringently Managed Level 1" prosthetics.

Pick any one from them, and they could challenge current Anti-Violence Fourth Section members. These guards have no chance of winning.

In less than one minute, more than forty guards are massacred, blood flowing across the outer square.

Amid rising screams, Muto Dongying steps over the corpses scattered on the ground, approaching the entrance of Moonlight Mansion, looking up at the 12th floor, revealing a sinister smile.
