Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 657 - 342 Can Your Tears Take Down That Guy_2
Qin Shou squeezed out from the crowd, his face full of agony as he chased in the direction where Kado had disappeared, while the crowd enjoyed the spectacle.
"Haha, serves him right!"
"The rich and unkind always end up like this."
"Wait, no... the landlord hasn’t done anything outright evil though, right?"
"Uh... I don’t care. Why does he have to have so much money."
"Young man, holding grudges against the rich is not advisable!"
"Mind your own business..."
Meanwhile, Zhang Yida watched Qin Shou’s frantically running figure, and muttered thoughtfully.
"The landlord big bro is high up in ERP. Do you think he’ll use ERP’s authority to make life difficult for people?"
"Unlikely. The Mysterious Warrior’s power isn’t something mundane authority can contend with," Xi Zhao replied as he turned and walked away.
"Where are you going?"
"Back to the base to train."
"Wait for me, I need to get back to the team too."
"We’re not heading in the same direction."
"Would it kill you to drop me off? I don’t have a driver’s license..."
"You mean you can’t afford a car."
"Damn, do you have to say it like that?"
"Sorry, I shouldn’t have been so honest."
...
ERP Headquarters.
The video froze at the moment of the explosion.
"The simulation of Abnormal Kado appeared in Hanhai City, and the Kado from Tianfu City showed up here as well. Could this be a coincidence?"
Dong Shan folded his arms, deep in thought.
Meizhen pondered for a moment, then tapped her keyboard and opened another video.
"This is the Alien Insect that appeared in Tianfu City, capable of simulating humans and infiltrating human society. After shedding its skin, it gains absolute speed comparable to Kado, making it extremely dangerous. I’m wondering if Abnormal Kado is simulated by the Alien Insect and has infiltrated Hanhai City," Meizhen speculated.
Beside her, Xi Zhao frowned and said, "Impossible. I was on-site at the time. There’s no way the Alien Insect emits such a horrifying abnormal aura."
"So, by that reasoning, the fake Kado could very well be a true abnormality!" Dong Shan exclaimed, stunned.
After the Amazon Pyramid incident, they had realized the reality of true abnormal power.
"Exactly."
Xi Zhao nodded, "It’s highly likely to be a true abnormality. The simulated Abnormal Kado showing up here must have other motives."
Meizhen pondered as she thought about its public appearance among the crowd...
"Could it be..." She suddenly looked up at the two.
Dong Shan also realized what she meant, his face turning grim.
"The Mysterious Warrior’s power comes from inner strength. If this is used to undermine public trust in the warriors, and pressure mounts from public opinion, our emotional resilience could crumble under the weight."
"Collapse of inner strength, loss of conviction — our powers would diminish instead of grow, and we would pose no threat to the abnormality anymore," Xi Zhao continued.
Meizhen gritted her teeth, "Damn it, I never imagined the abnormalities could consider doing this!"
Dong Shan nodded, "Fortunately, the scheme has been thwarted..."
"No, we might prevent it this time, but not forever. This failure will lead to a second, then a third."
Xi Zhao suggested, "Meizhen, we must seize control of public opinion proactively, or the consequences could be unimaginable."
Meizhen wholeheartedly agreed, "Alright, I’ll report to the higher-ups immediately."
...
"Last night at 10 PM, a Mysterious Warrior, Kado, appeared in a residential community in Hanhai City. Video footage taken by witnesses confirmed that this Kado was an abnormal disguise. The true Mysterious Warrior, Kado, also arrived on the scene to clear out the abnormality..."
"ERP hereby reminds citizens not to spread or believe rumors..."
In front of the TV, Qin Shou chuckled, "They responded so quickly! Looks like these three aren’t too shabby after all."
Besides Xi Zhao, Meizhen and Dong Shan were both outstanding individuals selected from the military, so it’s no surprise they’re smart.
If it was that blockhead Zhang Yida, the situation might’ve turned out differently.
Of course, the Golden Armor Warrior was merely a peculiar interest of Qin Shou’s. That guy is probably still immersed in studying law right now.
Even if the official path runs smoothly, a lawyer’s license isn’t so easily obtained.
"Ugh, this is so hard! My head’s about to explode!"
A wailing sound came from downstairs, and Qin Shou couldn’t help but laugh.
At this moment, Leng Wanbai descended from upstairs and said, "The Monkey sent news — Goranger is gradually being controlled by abnormalities and has commenced a true killing spree. The kid you picked might not be able to hold out much longer."
Qin Shou gave a calm smile, "Don’t worry. I’ve got everything under control."
...
Dongli City, an unfinished building.
"Bang!!"
The wall shattered, and a red figure burst through, crashing to the ground. Debris scattered, kicking up clouds of dust.
A grotesque humanoid monster stepped across the broken wall, its ferocious aura sweeping through the entire abandoned building.
Gazing down at the fallen red warrior, the monster sneered, ready to finish him with one blow.
"Buzzing... "
Suddenly, it was as if the whole world was emitting a strange humming sound, causing the monster to momentarily suppress its killing intent.
The time had come.
"Heh, Kongwo, you’ve narrowly escaped death again!"
The monster scoffed before leaping off the high floors of the abandoned building.
"Ugh..."
Wu Dai clutched the dented chest plate of his armor, enduring the pain as he struggled to his feet.
"Damn it, how on earth do I defeat this thing!" He clenched his fists tightly and growled under his breath.
"Wu Dai, are you okay?"
From the distance, a man in a trench coat ran over cautiously, helping the battered and defeated Wu Dai who had reverted from his transformed state.
"Yitiao, I... I failed again." Wu Dai lowered his head, his face filled with regret.
Liu Yitiao comforted him, "You’ve tried your best. No one will blame you."
"But... I still can’t fully harness Yamadam’s power. I can’t protect anyone."
"Trust yourself. Don’t let it weigh on your mind..."
"Beep, beep, beep..."
Suddenly, the ringtone of Liu Yitiao’s phone interrupted his consolation.
"Hello, this is Yitiao... What? Goranger has started killing people?"
Liu Yitiao was shocked, "What’s happening? Wasn’t Goranger previously only putting the injured into a coma? How has it escalated to murder?"
"Alright, alright, I’ll head over right away..."
Quickly hanging up the call, Liu Yitiao’s face darkened.
"Wu Dai, I’ve got urgent matters to attend to, you..."
"Yitiao, don’t worry about me. I can manage on my own. You go handle your business!"
"Alright. Take care of yourself."
Watching Liu Yitiao rush off, guilt surfaced once again on Wu Dai’s face.
"Dr. Qin, I’ve failed you. I still can’t protect them after all..."
"Thump, thump..."
The sound of heavy footsteps reached his ears, causing Wu Dai to instinctively turn around, his expression changing instantly.
A figure shrouded in ominous gray particles emerged from behind a concrete pillar, laughing eerily.
"Kongwo, you shouldn’t feel bad about letting Dr. Qin down, because he can no longer blame you. In fact, you should be thanking us!"
"What..."
In Wu Dai’s vision, the gray particles swirled, revealing a gruesome scene.
It was Dr. Qin, brutally slaughtered by Goranger.
"You monster ... Damn it!!"
Wu Dai erupted into fury, his heart consumed by raging flames of anger, his face contorting in rage.
"Transform!!"
The Yamadam at his waist unleashed golden lightning, the red armor enveloping his body, leaving a streak of gold along the edges.
"Ah!!"
"Die!!"
Consumed by boundless rage, Wu Dai’s consciousness blurred. Threads of gray particles infiltrated him, and the red armor began to shift into an ominous black hue.
Surprise All-Purpose Form!
Simultaneously, the gray particles seeped further into his mind, and the abnormal aura piled on thick and heavy.
"Hahaha, seethe in anger, unleash everything — become one of us, merge with us, empower us... hahaha..."
The abnormal Goranger laughed loudly. Their assumption proved correct: under extreme negative emotions, Mysterious Warriors are highly susceptible to transforming into abnormalities.
"Ah!!"
Negative emotions flooded Wu Dai’s mind as the black-armored warrior clutched his head, screaming as his roars grew increasingly feral.
"Kill you..."
"Kill you..."
The red compound eyes slowly changed to black, as the Thunder Power once again surged from Yamadam. Spikes began to protrude from Wu Dai’s joints.
"This is... haha, incredible! You even have a stronger form!" The abnormal Goranger laughed with excitement.
"Buzz..."
In an instant, a faint breeze whispered past, freezing the dust in the air. Both the abnormal Goranger and the rampaging Wu Dai came to a momentary standstill.
A gray dimensional barrier flickered briefly, and Qin Shou’s figure slowly appeared.
Looking at the berserk Wu Dai, Qin Shou grinned.
"I’ve only taught you for a few days, yet you’ve developed such strong feelings for me. I’m beginning to question your preferences."
Making a joke, Qin Shou extended a finger, and infinite Light Energy streamed into Wu Dai’s mind. His black compound eyes reverted to red at a visible speed.
Next up was the time for some heartfelt encouragement!
In the white space, Wu Dai looked at the familiar figure, his lips trembling before falling to his knees suddenly.
"I’m sorry, I’ve let you down..." Wu Dai wept bitterly.
Unexpectedly, the figure turned around and shouted at him angrily.
"Look at yourself — what does that expression mean?!"
"What do those eyes of yours mean?!"
"What do those tears of yours mean?!"
"Do your tears have the power to defeat that creature?"
