Actually, Li Chengyi was almost persuaded by the other party.
If it weren’t for the sensation of that continuously escalating Evil Thoughts…
Evil Thoughts +1.

In total, three points, that was all Xu Zhongsheng’s contribution.
This guy was a smiling tiger, outwardly compromising to survive, but his heart was filled with murderous intent.
What’s critical is that he could perfectly hide his emotions, putting on an appearance of earnest sincerity.
Tsk.
Li Chengyi pulled his sword out of Xu Zhongsheng, letting out a long sigh.
“The human heart is treacherous… indeed, just a moment of inattention can lead to deceit.”
Looking at Xu Zhongsheng, who died with his eyes open, his blood gradually spreading out.
“Don’t blame me,” Li Chengyi whispered, “someone like you is just too dangerous. For safety, I had to kill.”
If someone like that were to deceive others besides him, the success rate would be incredibly high.
Li Chengyi looked around.
In less than ten seconds, everyone around had scattered.
Even Yu Wengang, who had always been loyal to Xu Zhongsheng, had stealthily fled far away from the corridor earlier.
This time he didn’t resist, nor did he go mad and slaughter common staff.
Squatting down to make sure Xu Zhongsheng was truly dead, Li Chengyi turned and headed back the way he came.
The Night Laugh virus from last night had destroyed all of Xu Zhongsheng’s equipment, and just now he had completely destroyed that cell phone as well.
With that, there shouldn’t be any big problems.
After this incident, Li Chengyi once again fully appreciated how pleasant it felt to have strong logistical support.
Compared to the time at the Sunshine Building where he climbed up floors frantically, this time, he simply entered a garden where all surveillance was destroyed, accurately found his target, and then one sword.
Everything ended.
‘According to the timetable, the new Blind Spot should be arriving soon… I can also start preparing the team.’ Li Chengyi thought of what Xindela had said.
Bang.
He sliced through a wall with one sword strike, sprinted rapidly, bursting out of the Palace Garden Florist, and headed for the old city area nearby, which lacked surveillance.
Suddenly, a streak of silver light shot towards him, reaching him in the blink of an eye.
The silver light was a metal spike, the length of a forearm, diamond-shaped, completely engraved with countless fissures, as if it were constructed from building blocks.
But the speed of this metal spike was far beyond that of any building block.
Caught off guard, Li Chengyi only felt a pain in his chest. It was as if he’d been hit by a truck, stopping in place, his body even moving slightly backward.
The silver light pierced the Floral Dress, and continued through a layer of bulletproof vest before it flew off.
The silver light, swift as a shuttle, suddenly flew back to a skinny, tall woman wearing a duckbill hat.
The woman wore a large yellow trench coat, underneath which was a dark green combat suit, like that of a fighter jet pilot.
Bags of various sizes were attached to the outside of her clothes and pants, and at a glance, there were at least twenty or thirty.
“You… murdered someone?” the woman lifted her head, and under the duckbill hat was a clean and pretty face, but what caught the eye were her eyes.
One eye was a deep blue electronic eye, while the other was a normal human eye.
“Mecha Engineer? Flying Yi?” Li Chengyi stood straight, touching the damaged area on his chest, his gaze becoming sharp.
He had anticipated encountering Flying Yi, but he hadn’t expected it to be at such a moment.
“Flying Yi often uses superalloys as the materials for the top piercing heads; if you encounter them, be sure to be careful not to be directly hit by one. If hit from the side, its power will be much weaker.”
Looking at the woman in the duckbill hat, Li Chengyi’s mind echoed Ding Ning’s previous advice.
Ding Ning was an old friend of Xindela, and he wouldn’t teach anything inaccurate in these matters.
So…
Let’s see what the Mecha Engineer is capable of!
Li Chengyi took a step forward.
A golden longsword appeared and extended in his hand.
Bang!
He lunged forward, like a tank or a fierce beast, disregarding any obstacles, swinging his sword to slash at the woman.
The distance between them closed rapidly.
The woman’s expression changed slightly, as she pointed her hand and another streak of silver light flew out, rushing towards Li Chengyi.
Clang!
The silver light failed to hit directly, the angle severely skewed, indeed leaving only a deep mark on the Floral Dress and not cutting through it completely.
“Curved Light!” the woman shouted lowly.
Immediately, the silver light bent sharply in mid-air, drawing a brilliant silver line.
Zing!
With a sound like that of an ancient zither, the silver light accelerated, instantly blurring out of sight.
From afar, it looked as if it had transformed into a fan-shaped silver glow, enveloping Li Chengyi.
The sound of raindrops hitting could be heard from Li Chengyi’s body.
In just two seconds, most of his crucial points were covered and struck once by the silver light.
But it was futile, for the Floral Dress had no weaknesses, no vital spots.
Finally, their distance closed.
With no particular technique, Li Chengyi grasped the sword with both hands, suddenly shifted position, and rotated to slash!
Whoosh!
The Golden Sword Blade cut through as if slicing tofu, moving over an invisible force field that sprung up in front of the woman, only slightly hindered, then cutting straight through.
The blade flashed on the woman’s left arm, instantly drawing a trail of blood.
Ah!!!
The woman screamed, stepping back several paces, at the same time the silver light flew back to her side, with increased speed, slamming hard against Li Chengyi’s face.
The tremendous impact force knocked Li Chengyi off balance, preventing him from continuing his slash, causing him to slide back several meters.
“You madman!!” the woman yelled, the electronic eye flickering with intense blue light, “I’m a Mecha Engineer!! Do you really dare to kill me?!”
“No one can escape death,” Li Chengyi flicked the blood droplets off the blade, “neither you nor I.”
Suddenly, a faint sound came from a distance.
The vague sound of sirens quickly approached.
Whoosh!
Li Chengyi retreated explosively, stomping on the ground, forcefully breaking through a side wall, and disappearing from the woman’s field of view.
The woman in the duckbill hat didn’t pursue and merely thought, and the silver light floated beside her, revealing its condition.
The silver spike’s tip, which should have been the hardest part, was now subtly bent.
“What strong armor modules…!” the woman’s eyes were fierce.
“Too bad, if it wasn’t for the city’s ban on adding combat modes, I would have finished you off with the first strike!”
Intense murderous intent flashed through her eyes as she clutched her left hand, which was slowly oozing blood.
“Where did this madman come from!? He kills a Mecha Engineer without any regard for consequences in the city district!? Does he not fear the Federation’s retribution!?”
Mecha Engineers all have special tracking modules on them. Once they die, the module detonates instantly, leaving a mark on the killer – a mark of the Silent Fortress. Then the City Federation will activate the Silent Fortress, combined with Heavenly Eye, to pursue the murderer thoroughly.
Compared to the disjointed groups of Reinforced Humans, it is precisely this unity that enables Mecha Engineers to withstand the growing tide of Reinforced Humans.
The woman glanced at the police Flying Yi that had stopped nearby and breathed a sigh of relief as she walked into the Palace Garden Florist through the damaged wall.
But only a few steps in, her pupils constricted at the sight of Xu Zhongsheng lying on the ground.
“Xu Zhongsheng… is actually dead!?”
Bang!
The courtyard gate of the Palace Garden Florist was violently knocked open as Yu Wengang, who had escaped earlier, rushed in with a team of officers.
Accompanying him was a tall man carrying a Dark Red Long Blade – Ding Zaocheng.
As soon as they entered, Ding Zaocheng saw Xu Zhongsheng lying in a pool of blood on the ground.
“What speed! Two murders in one day, and neither were common folk. This is outright provocation!”
“Request to deploy Heavenly Eye,” said Kong Sichen, walking in quickly from the side, also seeing the lifeless body on the ground.
Without wasting words, Ding Zaocheng quickly pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
“Ding Zaocheng requests temporary activation of the city’s Heavenly Eye.”
“Checking permissions… Please wait.”
A sweet electronic female voice rang out clearly.
“Voiceprint verified, pupil scan successful, request logged. Your remaining Heavenly Eye time is: 13 hours, 42 minutes, 19 seconds.”
A pale blue screen automatically appeared in front of Ding Zaocheng.
This was city projection technology, which could project the required display information on any spot, any part, anywhere.
The remaining time ticked down ceaselessly, changing every second.
“Initiating positioning.”
“Entering image features…”
“Searching…”
Two seconds later.
“Target located,” the sweet voice promptly replied.
Swoosh! The projection screen in front of Ding Zaocheng automatically revealed a dark alleyway.
In the alley, a dark purple figure was rapidly heading towards the outskirts.
“Found him!” Ding Zaocheng raised his hand, and a flurry of crimson needles flew out of the sheath on his back.
‘Red Diamond, Rain Mode,’ he said in a low voice.
“Activating Rain Mode,” a cold, indifferent synthetic female voice said from the sheath.
“Bystanders automatically avoided, calculating penetration points.”
“Fire control system – Condensed Sword Array, activated.”
Golden circuits began to emerge, glow, and intensify on the sheath, outlining a pattern resembling a phoenix.
Ding Zaocheng watched the rapidly running dark purple figure in the screen.
“Kill him.”
Hum!!
In an instant, dozens of red luminous trails vibrated furiously behind him, then thundered forth.

In the murky alleyway.
Li Chengyi was sprinting, his figure speeding like a blurry cheetah.
Suddenly, he paused in his stride and looked up.
In the azure sky, a cluster of red dots went from dim to bright, hurtling towards him with a clear whistling sound.
His enhanced body gave him even sharper senses, and merely listening to the faint whistling sound, he knew something was wrong.
“A high-ranking Mecha Engineer?” Information obtained from Ding Ning helped him instantly recognize what the red light signified.
That was the special aura of high-energy blocks used by high-level Flying Yis.
He already knew the rank and energy levels of Mecha Engineers from what Ding Ning had shared.
Without any hesitation.
Li Chengyi threw himself sideways with force, smashing into the garden of a private villa to his left.
The grey-white wall was pierced and shattered by his Golden Sword and brute force, easily demolished like it was made of paper.
On the other side of the wall was a private area the size of a basketball court.
A girl in a white dress with a ponytail was playing badminton with a chubby little boy.
When Li Chengyi burst through the wall, the faces of the two stilled in shock, unsure how to react.
Li Chengyi had no time to concern himself with them; he wanted to find a place to hide, but it was too late.
He looked up.
The red specks in the sky had already shot towards him.
The bright crimson needles came down like a storm, whistling.
Woo!
The ear-piercing whistling sound was like a siren’s song, causing dust on the surrounding ground to rise and glass to tremble.
The ponytailed girl and the chubby boy both clutched their ears, their faces showing pain.
“You think these are enough to kill me?!”
Li Chengyi knelt on one knee, driving his Golden Longsword fiercely into the ground.
‘Flower Language Technique: Firmness!’
A golden light flashed vividly across his body, there and then gone.
This was his first time using the evolved Gladiolus Flower Language Technique.
As the golden light passed, his body’s outline began to expand rapidly, seeming to grow larger than before.
The thickness of the Wisteria Floral Dress’s armor increased with the effect of the Flower Language Technique: Firmness, becoming harder.
Whalah!
In that instant, innumerable red needles poured down like rain.
