My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 731 - 388: Illusions, Betrayal, Chessboard

"I'm attempting to read her memory, the identity and origin of that Black Cocoon, these are very important to me," said Ryukawa Chiba. "Hmm, but unfortunately, it seems he's already dead? Yet I always feel things aren't that simple."

"Is that so, then take your time reading."

After saying this, Tong Zizhu suddenly burst into action, sweeping a leg and kicking Ryukawa Chiba to the ground. The doctor was slightly taken aback, and the phone slipped from his right hand, with a hacker's shocked face on the screen.

Before the two could say anything, Tong Zizhu punched the phone screen. With a "bang," the entire phone shattered, pieces of charged components shot out.

The hacker's data body lost its resting place, emerging from the phone's interior, returning to reality.

"What are you doing?! Menopause?" The hacker fell to the ground with a thud, looking up in confusion and shock at her.

"Sorry, she's Su Ying's child, I can't hand her over to you..."

Having said that, Tong Zizhu bent down and quickly picked up Su Zimai from the ground, turning into a phantom, twisting and dissipating.

Moments later, she suddenly appeared beside Ke Qirui, holding Su Zimai, slowly walking towards her.

At this moment, Ke Qirui had just used the movie curtain to shake off Andrew and Robert, she glanced sideways, her gaze meeting Tong Zizhu's with surprise.

"Looks like Sanyan convinced you?" she asked.

"It wasn't him who convinced me, I convinced myself, next time don't bring her to such a dangerous place, the brigade is not an opponent you can handle, understand?"

Tong Zizhu said casually, exerting a slight force with both hands, throwing Su Zimai forward.

Ke Qirui, quick-eyed and nimble, caught Su Zimai's body, holding her waist and legs, embracing her.

"Are you okay, Xiaomai?" she asked softly.

Su Zimai's face still bore an expression of pain and struggle. Hearing Ke Qirui's words, Su Zimai's eyelids trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes.

In an instant, she frowned, raised her Magic Gloves, aiming her palm at Ke Qirui, the patterns instantly filled with blue magical glow, but at that moment, under the glow, she saw the face of the other person clearly, opening her mouth in a daze:

"Commander?"

"It's good that you're okay, I underestimated that Spiritual Ability User, can you stand up?" Ke Qirui asked softly.

"Yes."

Su Zimai nodded. She took a deep breath, thinking to herself, was it all an illusion just now, she had thought she captured a member of the White Crow Travel Brigade.

"Then be careful." Ke Qirui said, slowly putting her down from her embrace.

Su Zimai's legs were a bit weak, and she sat down on the ground for a moment.

At this time she turned her head, seeing Tong Zizhu's figure, stunned for a moment, she couldn't help but ask:

"What's with this person?"

"She betrayed, just now it was she who saved you." Ke Qirui said, looking up at Tong Zizhu, "So, Tong Zizhu, what do you plan to do next?"

"Let me make it clear, I'm only responsible for protecting this child," Tong Zizhu said softly, "If she dies, Su Ying would be heartbroken."

"Is that so?" Ke Qirui thought for a moment, "I'm Su Ying's father's adopted daughter, you can call me aunt." She curled her lips, "Could you also protect your aunt by the way?"

"...Huh?"

Tong Zizhu tilted her head, stunned, her mind not quite catching up for a moment.

"Surprised, right... Welcome to our family of Divine Beings."

Su Zimai said meaningfully, wiping her cheek with the back of her hand. Then she held her aching head, forced herself to stand up from the ground, looking straight ahead at the long street.

At that moment, a Teleportation Gate appeared on the surface of a Gothic house, and a man in a denim jacket roared out. He had a cigar in his mouth, holding a sniper rifle, his eyes bloodshot, veins throbbing on his forehead.

"What are you all babbling about over there? Let me out now, hear me? I need to go fight those Lake Hunting bastards, I don't have time for this hide and seek with you!"

Andrew roared with wide eyes, his voice loud.

By this time he had completely lost his mind, even filling his sniper rifle with a "Dragon Ash" that should have been reserved for Lake Hunting, then violently pulled the trigger in the direction of the three.

"Bang——!"

The deafening sound of a gunshot rang out, and a blood-red bullet exited the chamber.

At this moment, it seemed as if the air was filled with the faint roar of a dragon, its surging flame enveloping the surface of the bullet. Soon, the bullet exploded. The crimson flames raged forth, spreading like a mushroom cloud, irresistibly engulfing the entire long street.

All the Gothic buildings were reduced to ashes in the overwhelming dragon flame, and a gigantic void formed in their place. This void connected to the port of Hai Fan City.

On the port, the figures of Yanmo Lin, Urushibara Osamu, and others could be seen. They turned their heads in surprise to look at the scene inside the movie through this spatial tear.

"A miracle of great power, huh? We don't need to continue struggling then."

Robert scratched his mechanical box head and said with a sigh, "That train girl is not much else, but her escape is top-notch. Continuing to tangle with them is a waste of our time."

"Where are the hacker and doctor? Let's go," Andrew said coldly, lowering his sniper rifle.

At this moment, Ryukawa Chiba and the hacker quickly came over. They looked up at the spatial tear and then at the distant clock tower.

Under the black moon, atop the enormous clock tower, stood four figures: Su Zimai, Ke Qirui, Xu Sanyan, and Tong Zizhu.

It seemed that Ke Qirui, before the "Dragon Ash" exploded, had already used the power of the Movie Demon to transport their bodies to the top of the clock tower.

Even the cigarette in Xu Sanyan's mouth started to slip. He murmured in shock, "What the hell kind of bullet is this that it's shattered the space within the Movie World?"

"I don't know, but if this bullet were used against Lake Hunting, I can't imagine what would happen..." Cold sweat dripped from Ke Qirui's forehead. "Zhou Jiuya, Lin Xingshi, you must not let your guard down."

"Captain, my father and brother are still outside," Su Zimai said.

"We can't worry about them. According to the plan, we must leave here immediately," Ke Qirui said. "Trust your brother—by now, he must have dealt with those two members, and even if your father and the president can't defeat their opponents, they'll certainly manage to retreat safely."

Su Zimai hesitated for a moment and nodded, "That makes sense."

She looked up at Tong Zizhu, "Are you going to go with them?"

Tong Zizhu was silent for a moment, then took off her fox mask, revealing her true face.

She shook her head, "No... I have no reason to stay with the brigade anymore."

With that, she looked down at the four members on the long street, while Andrew had already begun to walk towards the port without a shred of hesitation.

"Hey, are we really just leaving like this? What about Tong Zizhu?" the hacker asked.

"Can't you see? She's no longer one of us," Robert said, placing his hand on the hacker's shoulder, his voice low and mechanically magnetic.

Andrew didn't look back, speaking gloomily, "Our target isn't them, it's Lake Hunting... don't worry about so much."

Ryukawa Chiba remained silent, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The trio from the brigade walked forward as the moonlight of the port shone through the spatial tear, illuminating the inside of the movie world.

The hacker turned around for one last look at Tong Zizhu. Then he followed Andrew and the others, stepping into the massive spatial tear and returning to the port of Hai Fan City.

....

....

Not long ago, inside Xia Pingzhou's Black King Domain.

Looking around, it was an empty world, with the ground formed by a black-and-white checkered chessboard. The edges of the chessboard, like a beast-fighting arena, had an invisible wall towering around it, designed to prevent the fighting gladiators from escaping.

He held Ayase Origami's right hand, "Don't take a single step away from me."

The kimono girl nodded silently.

They looked up, only to see a young man standing at the forefront of the chessboard, wearing a black sweater and jeans, with pitch-black electric sparks flickering on his body.

Gu Qiye raised his head, slowly scanning his surroundings, finally fixing his gaze on Xia Pingzhou and Ayase Origami.

"You reacted quite quickly," Gu Qiye said expressionlessly, praising them.

Xia Pingzhou remained silent, merely gazing at him, and then released Celestial Driver. Streams of black and white light surged forth, forming a chessboard that swirled around him, the figures moving like satellites revolving around Earth.

On the spacious chessboard, the two exchanged a long, stared gaze.

In an instant, the roar of lightning tore through the silence, signaling the imminent start of battle.
