He Ao had felt from the beginning that Mu Xiu was someone who was rough yet meticulous, a trait evident by how he misdirected the passerby to lead Selena and He Ao away, and his hatred for the Dancing Girl was so deep, it drove him to relentlessly pursue her for decades without rest.
Moreover, with the abundance of homeless people near this abandoned industrial building, it was easy for Mu Xiu to gather enough Sacrifices for the God of Chaos.
Putting these factors together led He Ao to a different conclusion than Selena, he believed that Mu Xiu would definitely return.
But he didn’t share his opinion with Selena; instead, he waited alone for Mu Xiu.
He was waiting for a meeting that would be both the first and the last.
“I have a question I want to ask you,”
He Ao watched as Mu Xiu slowly stood up, warily staring at him, and spoke in a calm tone, “Five years ago, when you were pursuing the Dancing Girl and passed through Kaye City, did you encounter a mining expedition from the Morde United Mining Company?”
Mu Xiu did not answer He Ao, but he clearly paused, his pupils lifting upward, a sign of contemplation.
“It seems you did encounter them,” He Ao tilted his head, not needing to think so long about an event he hadn’t experienced, “In order to please the God of Chaos, did you massacre that team?”
“Who are you?”
Mu Xiu did not deny it but instead watched He Ao warily, his voice hoarse and irritable, like a wild beast growling.
“It seems all my guesses are true,” He Ao straightened the pockets on his clothes, “Would you be willing to listen to a story?
A story about a troublesome child.”
Mu Xiu frowned.
He did not respond but kept a high level of vigilance, still worried that this might be a trap set by He Ao.
“This was just an ordinary child, with no particularly dazzling Talent, and the only thing worth commending was that he was quite good at fighting,” He Ao didn’t pay attention to Mu Xiu’s actions, nor did he care whether Mu Xiu wanted to listen to his story, but began to tell his story with a placid expression,
“His parents paid for him to attend an expensive private school, hoping he’d make plenty of elite friends or get into a university, to become a respected Doctor or Lawyer.
But clearly, he was not cut out for study; aside from the time in second grade when he scored a hundred percent, his other school days were filled with fights, causing trouble, and hanging out with underperformers.
His misbehavior even forced his parents to transfer him to another school.”
Mu Xiu seemed captivated by He Ao’s story, becoming quiet, watching him intently.
And He Ao continued, “At 13, he learned how to play cards and became addicted, a habit that persisted into high school, with his grades growing increasingly worse.
At 17, on the brink of high school graduation, he was among the worst 10% of students in the school, had multiple conflicts with his parents, and eventually ran away from home.
He started doing odd jobs to support himself outside, refusing help from his parents, never going back home again.
At 18, his parents died, killed by cultists during a mining expedition in the wilderness.”
He Ao lifted his gaze to Mu Xiu, “He changed his past behavior, studied hard, cut off all social ties, sleeping only three or four hours each day, eventually getting accepted into the best public university in Kaya City, Kaya City Municipal University, with excellent grades, and in his junior year, he interned at the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a distinguished Student.
He finally saw the photos from when his parents died, their bodies blown to pieces by a powerful force,”
He Ao looked back at the body behind Mu Xiu with its shattered skull, “Yes, just like him.”
He brought his gaze back to Mu Xiu, meeting his calm stare, “To you, they were just two Sacrifices easily killed, but to that child, they were his parents, his everything.”
At that moment, He Ao and Ande overlapped.
“I know why you came to Dawn City, you’re pursuing the Dancing Girl, you want revenge,” He Ao’s gaze was cold and calm, “and I stand here now for the very same reason.”
[Mission Completed]
“So you’re here to stop me?”
Mu Xiu calmly looked at He Ao, but beneath that calm gaze lay a twisted ferocity and madness.
[Mission evaluation in progress···]
“No,” He Ao shook his head, looking directly into his eyes, “I’m here to kill you.”
[Will return to the original world in 90 seconds]
Super Memory, burst!
[Return Immediately (90)]
The giant fist smashed through the wall behind He Ao, the four-meter-tall giant pierced through the ceiling, shattering the floor partition between levels.
He Ao dodged the lethal strike, as immense strength spread along his soul into his body, rapidly enhancing Ande’s original (13) physical capabilities to (70).
This was not the original power of Super Memory, it seemed to be the waiter’s strength that Super Memory had absorbed after devouring ‘waiter’.
The enhancement of physical capabilities was not just a boost in strength, but also an improvement in agility and dexterity.
Once again, that feeling of the entire world being crystal clear appeared in He Ao’s mind, and he immediately drew his Gauss Gun from his waist, firing a shot at the colossal giant Mu Xiu’s forehead.
Mu Xiu’s muscles twitched, and he violently twisted his head to dodge the bullet, charging at He Ao again.
He Ao rolled to dodge the giant fist, quickly reconstructing Mu Xiu’s body model in his mind.
Although this guy was huge and clumsy, he wasn’t slow, especially when it came to explosive speed.
If it wasn’t for He Ao’s enhanced body, he would have been smashed into a pulp in the first instance.
In terms of attack power, Mu Xiu was much stronger than Dancing Girl.
He Ao rolled several times to dodge Mu Xiu’s attacks, then raised his hand and fired.
This shot successfully anticipated Mu Xiu’s movement, striking his left shoulder – the sharp magnetic bullet penetrated Mu Xiu’s skin.
In pain, Mu Xiu roared, the muscles in his left shoulder writhed, and he actually expelled the bullet right out.
The punctured wound was also sealed by the muscles, and not a drop of blood flowed out.
Yet, the sting of the injury made Mu Xiu even more ferocious, his speed increased to another level.
He Ao dodged on the ground, narrowly avoiding Mu Xiu’s strikes several times.
Can a D-class have such high defense?
He Ao frantically evaded Mu Xiu’s assaults, continuously reconstructing Mu Xiu’s body model in his mind, looking for the weak point Mu Xiu seemed to always defend.
No matter what, people will instinctively defend their weak points, unless they have none.
The Gauss Pistol only had ten bullets.
He had used four in the fight with Dancing Girl and two more just now, leaving only four.
In He Ao’s mind flashed countless potential actions Mu Xiu could take next.
He had already circled half around Mu Xiu, his speed slightly decreased, while Mu Xiu’s grew faster and faster, as he swang his fist at He Ao once again.
Bang—Bang—
He Ao aimed and fired two shots at Mu Xiu’s eyes.
