My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 730 - 388: Illusion, Betrayal, Chessboard

In a pool of thick, black blood, the corpse of the boy in the jumpsuit was riddled with holes.

His head drooped, his eyes were empty, and his limbs hung on the ground like a deflated doll. There wasn't a single intact piece of skin on his face, and through the gaping holes, bone was visible. Even the bones were broken, pieces of white debris flowing in the blood, spilling out through the holes.

The hacker is dead.

Su Zimai slightly lowered her head, gasping for breath.

She stared at the boy in the jumpsuit on the ground, confirmed that he had completely stopped breathing, and then stepped past the hacker's corpse, walking towards Ryukawa Chiba one step at a time.

Su Zimai looked up from beneath her disheveled hair; only Ryukawa Chiba's left hand remained. His right hand had been burned by a fireball. Blood was gushing from the severed wrist.

In the silence, the distant roar of a train could be heard, the sound of smoke grenades exploding, and the black moonlight shrouded Su Zimai's face. She completely ignored everything else, as if only Ryukawa Chiba remained in her eyes.

She clenched her fist, with the magic patterns on her gloves glowing faintly, but at that moment, Ryukawa Chiba suddenly broke the silence.

"Forgive my bluntness... Miss Su Zimai, don't you want to confirm who it is that just died?" Ryukawa Chiba adjusted his glasses with his left hand and suddenly laughed.

Su Zimai furrowed her brow sharply: "You still want to... you still want to..."

Yet at that moment, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, words abruptly halting. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

She lowered her head, staring blankly, only to see the hacker's corpse suddenly change, the jumpsuit turning into tattered restraint belts.

Supported by the restraint belts, Gu Wenyu staggered to his feet from the pool of blood, his face rotten and hideous, approaching Su Zimai step by step.

With each step he took, blood flowed out of the holes in his body, splashing onto the ground.

A moment later, he opened his bloodstained lips and uttered a hoarse voice from his throat, "Why..."

Su Zimai was stunned, shaking her head while retreating, her face growing pale.

At this moment, in the Real World, on the black-and-white Silent Street.

Ryukawa Chiba looked down at the unconscious Su Zimai on the ground and calmly said, "This is a chain dream; you think you've woken up... but you're still in the dream. As long as a person is in a dream, their judgment is weakened. I just need to manipulate her emotions a bit, amplify her confusion, fear, and unease... to affect her judgment, making her seem like she's still dreaming."

Meanwhile, on the phone in the doctor's right hand, the data-form hacker sighed, head lowered.

He mockingly said, "Doctor, just finish her off... stop dawdling, Mrs. Tong and Andrew are still fighting hard over there; either capture her for negotiations."

"Don't rush..." Ryukawa Chiba shook his head, "I'm a bit curious about this girl's memory. Understanding the existence called 'Black Cocoon' is very significant for me."

"Why?" the hacker asked, "Why are both you and the leader so concerned about that 'Black Cocoon'?"

Ryukawa Chiba tucked his hands into the pockets of his white coat, looking down at Su Zimai.

He murmured: "I only know that 'Black Cocoon' is very unique. From her memory, I can see... 'Black Cocoon' and Xia Pingzhou are the same, people without emotions, and her memories are strange, as if implanted by a certain ability, yet possibly real memories... It's truly eerie."

"People without emotions? Implanted memories?" The hacker was taken aback.

But in the next second, a movie screen suddenly appeared behind Su Zimai—Ke Qirui, noticing the situation over there during a confrontation with Andrew, attempted to use the power of the Movie Demon to take Su Zimai away.

"It's useless. How could the same trick work on me twice?" The hacker anticipated this.

As soon as he saw the black and white screen, he turned Su Zimai's body into a stream of data. Then he manipulated that data stream to fly up from the front of the screen.

Soon, the movie screen closed. In the distance, Ke Qirui lowered the brim of her hat, her face gradually pale.

"It's a disaster..."

At that moment, Tong Zizhu, who was caught in a close fight with Xu Sanyan, suddenly pulled back a distance, glanced at the distant scene, and then raised her hand to cover her fox mask.

Like a skipping movie frame, her figure twitched, swayed, and vanished instantly from where she was, leaving only a blurred afterimage.

"Again... From which side does she plan to attack this time?" Xu Sanyan frowned.

He immediately took up the umbrella, aiming it at his own feet. With a "whoosh," thick white fog spread out from the tip, enveloping Xu Sanyan within a hundred meters.

This fog was his territory; as long as Tong Zizhu appeared in it, he would immediately sense her presence. Regardless of the angle of attack, he was confident in holding his ground.

Unexpectedly, Tong Zizhu did not strike at him but instead returned to Ryukawa Chiba and the hacker's side. She walked towards them expressionlessly, without a word.

"Mrs. Tong, we've caught one of them; we can use her to threaten that train girl to let us out," the hacker glanced at her and said.

"That's good, you guys are quick, but there's nothing to brag about bullying a little girl," Tong Zizhu said as she walked, "Doctor, what are you doing?"
