Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 598 - 476 Contagiousness

Amidst the arcing electricity, Chen Gu resembled an enraged Vajra. His mind utterly resolute, he commanded the twin-headed laser swords to accelerate their descent underground once more.

In an instant, a deep hole had formed in the ground. The twin-headed laser swords seemed to be searching for something beneath, causing the surface to undulate a few times.

Chu Zheng hastily radioed for reinforcements from the bureau, while Wu Yihuo held up his credentials. Approaching the power plant's security personnel, he loudly explained, "We are police officers!"

He had barely finished shouting when an electrical discharge suddenly shot out from a wire on a nearby wall, striking Wu Yihuo in the back. SIZZLE!

Wu Yihuo's body began to shake violently. Then, amidst the crackling electrical light, he started transforming uncontrollably.

The approaching security personnel, all ex-military, were stunned. While in the army, they had heard certain legends and could now confirm they were true.

The Hell Titan, immense and fierce, gave them a fright. But immediately after, the massive, clumsy creature toppled over...

BOOM!

A cloud of dust erupted before them. Was it just a paper tiger? Such a huge thing, all show and no go?

Chen Gu's speed was at its maximum, yet he could barely dodge the relentless electric whips. He had already activated another Profession's skill, Radiation Field, through the Secret Nest.

Within a radius of over a hundred meters, he could precisely sense the "enemy's" location, but it moved too fast. Even while controlling the twin-headed laser swords, he couldn't keep up.

It was truly as fast as lightning!

The electric whips bombarded relentlessly. This was a power plant, brimming with electrical energy; the opponent was almost inexhaustible.

CRACK!

Chen Gu, caught off guard by a suddenly erupting bolt of electricity, was struck and slammed heavily to the ground, feeling incredibly frustrated.

This type of opponent was the most troublesome. It's faster than you, and even though you know you're stronger—that one solid punch would take it down—you just can't land a hit! And it keeps landing hits on you!

"AH—"

Suddenly, Chen Gu retracted the twin-headed laser swords. Holding the Father-Son Sword, he switched to the Brain Domain Hacker Profession, unleashing his spiritual power in a wide dispersal. The opponent is too far away and constantly shifting position, so an area attack is my only option, even if it won't be very effective. But I have to teach it a lesson and take it down a peg!

BOOM—

Mental Storm!

The surge of spiritual power swept out. The creature clearly sensed the threat but couldn't escape the range of the mental assault in time. It became momentarily dazed, and the surrounding electrical arcs seemed to pause.

This was the opportunity Chen Gu needed. He had unleashed Mental Storm precisely to create such an opening. He had already switched his active memory profile from Isabella Wu to Derek Kun Shen Ken, once again becoming a Quantum Wizard.

His next action, however, was to gently squeeze the Secret Nest, releasing a stored Mind Remote Control technique that swiftly penetrated the creature's mind.

The creature struggled fiercely; its power was considerable, and it wouldn't be easily controlled.

But Chen Gu had already activated a third Profession skill: Entanglement Control!

He forcefully used the power of a Quantum Wizard to dominate the opponent, pulling it from the earth, bit by bit!

Just as the creature began to feel an intense headache, it found itself unable to resist. Manipulated by some mysterious force, it was being compelled to leave its comfortable subterranean environment.

It struggled desperately, electrical energy bursting from its body. Chen Gu's Entanglement Control began to waver. His muscles tensed, and he pushed his mental fortitude to its absolute limit—this was a contest of endurance.

The power of Entanglement Control surged. As the creature struggled, it found the bindings around it only grew stronger. It emitted strange cries from underground and then... began to draw on the ambient electrical power, its own strength instantly soaring.

Chen Gu nearly lost his grip.

He clenched his teeth, muscles straining, the whites of his eyes instantly webbed with bloodshot veins as he pushed himself to his breaking point. The power of Entanglement Control intensified once more.

The creature was now only about ten meters from the surface and knew this was a life-or-death struggle. Amidst its repeated shrieks, it activated its ability, causing the entire power plant to blaze with light—it was attempting to draw upon all electrical power in the vicinity! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

But just then, with a decisive SNAP, the entire power plant abruptly plunged into darkness!

The creature's ability abruptly lost its power source, like someone overexerting themselves and suddenly stumbling. Caught off guard, its resistance to Entanglement Control lost all leverage, and Chen Gu instantly yanked it out of the ground.

"SQUEAK—" It let out a terrified shriek. Chen Gu, however, breathed a sigh of relief. At the crucial moment, Chu Zheng's communication with headquarters had paid off: the power plant's electricity supply was cut.

A second or two later, and the outcome might have been entirely different.

He stared at the creature. It was utterly hideous!

It resembled a rotting mass of flesh. Within its exposed fascia, tissues, and blood vessels, sparks of electric light flickered intermittently.

Based on its appearance alone, it was impossible to ascertain what the creature truly was.
