Girl, you form the head.

Chapter 56 How about we try mine first? (4K)

Why is this happening?

Just half a minute ago, Number 0 was in control, and they were only one step away from victory. Why did the situation reverse so drastically in just half a minute, or perhaps less, that Number 0 was completely wiped out?
Looking at the knight in the storm, Song-ki nearly collapsed: "Why the hell won't you die?!"

Having said that, he desperately manipulated the invisible devourer and launched a final gamble against the white flame.

However, he was already exhausted, while the incandescent energy in the eye of the storm was at its peak. So much so that the invisible devourer was crushed into dust by the storm before it could even touch the incandescent energy.

Sakura, who was standing nearby, tried to draw her gun, but before she could, a piece of debris from the train carriage, blown up by the storm, slit her throat. She was unable to do anything and collapsed in a pool of blood, dying just like that.

With that, only Zhongji remained alive. When he realized that all his methods were ineffective against Bai Chi, Zhongji finally thought of running away. But this was also a futile hope. Before he could take two steps, Bai Chi kicked him to the ground.

"Spare my life!" After failing to fight back and escape, all that was left for Joong-ki to do was beg for help. He shouted hysterically, "As long as you let me go, I'm willing to do anything, I'll tell you anything! Whether it's letting me stop bothering you, or going back to the organization to be your informant, I'll do it all, whatever you say!"

This is also what Bai Chi wants: "Answer my question."

"Just let me go," Song-ki said, forcing himself to speak despite his fear. "You have to promise to let me go first."

“Okay,” Bai Chi said. “As long as you answer my questions, I can guarantee I won’t kill you.”

"This, this is what you said."

“I said it,” Bai Chi said, “but how you get back is none of my business.”

Seeing that Bai Chi had agreed not to kill him and even added that last sentence, Zhong Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered, "What do you want to know?"

What exactly is this red mist?

Bai Chi turned around and looked at the remains of Number 0. To call them remains was really just a blurry mass of flesh and blood. But unlike the monster, Number 0 did not release any more blood mist after it died. This made Bai Chi realize that reality might not be what he had expected.

“Number 0 is the most successful one among our ‘enhanced special ability’ test subjects,” Zhongji said. “His original special ability was just freezing his own blood. It was our research that enabled him to evaporate his own blood into mist.”

Does that mean the red mist is only a unique feature of Number 0?
"What about that monster?" Bai Chi asked again. "Is it also related to Zero's research?"

"No, those two are completely unrelated, and we didn't create the monster." Zhongji felt the power of the white-infused flame intensify and immediately became anxious. "I'm not lying to you! We definitely didn't create the monster; we found it!"

Then, Zhongji told Baichi that the monster was an experimental subject who had escaped to their rural factory several years ago from who-knows-where. He couldn't remember his name or his origins, and his special abilities were already like this back then. The New World Society captured him and experimented on him for several years, but they still couldn't fully understand his special abilities.

“That’s technology we can’t master! It must come from a higher level.” Perhaps afraid that Bai Chi would think he was lying, Zhong Ji kept talking, “We’ve also investigated its origins over the past few years, and we’ve roughly narrowed it down to two places: Hancheng Construction and Hanjiang Military Industry!”

Hancheng Construction? Hanjiang Military Industry?

Upon hearing these two names, Bai Chi frowned deeply.

"Now you understand why we can't trace its origin or unravel the technology on this guy, right?" Zhongji said in a low voice. "This is genuine military equipment, a major national defense weapon, not something a small place like ours can try to steal."

"You consider this a small place?"

“Compared to those with real power, what are we?” Zhongji said. “You should have guessed by now that everything we did before was just to get me some merit, to be promoted to police officer, so that I could have an opportunity to appear at General Bochuan’s mayoral inauguration ceremony a month later and have a chance to contact him.”

"What are you doing contacting General Bochuan?"

“Promote our research findings,” Chung-ki whispered, “and secure funding to transform into a military-industrial enterprise, thus ‘getting ashore’.”

So that's what you were planning?

Now everything makes sense.

The presence of neighboring Gaoyang has led to a highly developed military industry in southern Romania. However, these military giants are all located in the strategically important capital city A and the border city B, while the military industry in city C remains largely undeveloped.

Therefore, the New World Society aims to become the only one.

Judging from the red fog, those military industry giants may have already extended their reach to this city more than a decade ago.

“I’ve told you everything I know,” Song-ki said. “Now can you let me go?”

"There's one last question," Bai Chi said. "Ni Xue."

“I, I knew you would ask this,” Song-ki said in a low voice. “But that girl has nothing to do with us. According to the case records, the person who attacked her should be from the same place as the monster’s origin.”

Why would those two military industrial companies approach a little girl?

"I really don't know," Song-ki said. "I've already told you everything I know. At this point, I have no reason to lie to you. Please, let me go."

Bai Chi was silent for a moment, then released his foot: "I will naturally do what I say I will do."

Zhongji breathed a sigh of relief and immediately got up from the ground. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that he would have someone kill Bai Chi when he got back.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when a whistling jackhammer pierced his back, penetrating his heart.

Song-ki's eyes widened: "You clearly promised..."

"Officer Bai didn't kill you, but that didn't mean I wouldn't kill you." He heard Ju Feng's voice through gritted teeth. "You think you can get away with all those lousy things you did? Go to hell."

"Die to me!"

The pulverizer moved forward again, and with the help of the eye of the storm, it instantly shredded Song Joong-ki's body into minced meat. In the end, he died without even being able to utter a sound.

A few minutes later, the storm subsided, and the knights left the field.

After the excitement of avenging his great enemy subsided, Ju Feng looked at the pieces of flesh scattered on the ground and smelled the sticky, bloody stench. Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and began to gag, clutching his chest.

Bai Chi looked thoughtfully at Ju Feng's extremely exaggerated curves.

During the battle just now, an unprecedented situation occurred: the will of the fusion material directly affected the knight himself, and even when Bai Chi was willing, it was able to take over the control and autonomously control the knight.

It should be noted that this situation had never happened to Ruri and Yanle, but Bai Chi still did not think that the variable was in Ju Feng. He thought it was because he had passed through the refractory period and transformed twice in a row.

Although the second transformation was successful, Bai Chi could clearly feel that his control over his body had decreased, and he felt somewhat powerless.

It is probably because of this that Ju Feng was able to gain some control over his body.

If that's the case, it should be considered a good thing, meaning that when the incandescent state is not good, another person inside the body can take over to maintain a better state. It's just that we don't yet know where the critical point of this poor state is; if possible, it would be best to find time to test it.

After gagging for half a minute, Ju Feng barely recovered. Then, when she turned her head, she found Bai Chi staring at her intently, and couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Wh-what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Bai Chi shook his head, not revealing his thoughts for the time being, but simply asked, "Are you feeling better?" "Much better."

"Really?" Bai Chi asked with concern. "Then why have you been clutching your chest? Are you injured there?"

Upon hearing Bai Chi's question, Ju Feng's face immediately showed a hint of unease.

Her chest did hurt, but it wasn't from an injury; it was from the second fusion just now.

After all, it was a matter of life and death, and there was no time to worry about anything else; all they wanted was to immediately perform a second fusion.

I didn't feel anything at the time, but now that I've recovered, I realize it really hurts.

But how could she say such a thing to Bai Chi?

"No, it's nothing, just a minor ailment. I'll recover quickly." Ju Feng shook her head, then immediately changed the subject, "Thank you, Officer Bai. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know how to avenge my father."

Bai Chi shook his head: "We're just helping each other succeed."

Do they complement each other?
These words stirred a strange feeling in Ju Feng's heart, but it was not aversion or disgust.

"Do you want to continue investigating?" Ju Feng had naturally overheard what Zhong Ji and Bai Chi had said earlier. "Hancheng Construction and Hanjiang Heavy Industry, do you know what those two names mean?"

“Of course,” Bai Chi said casually, “but to me, they’re not much different from the New World Society.”

After thinking about it, Ju Feng realized that it seemed to be true.

After all, for an ordinary person to face the New World Society alone is not much different from facing Hanseong Industrial and Hanjiang Heavy Industries; they will both die.

But now, they are not dead; instead, it is the young master of the New World Society who has died.

Although he had indeed contributed to this, Kikyo couldn't help but feel admiration for Bai Chi.

This is indeed an extraordinary man.

That being the case...

Having made up his mind, Ju Feng said to Bai Chi, "Please take me with you in the next battle too!"

Bai Chi looked at Ju Feng with slight surprise: "Haven't you already taken your revenge?"

"No, the revenge I seek isn't just for this guy alone." Ju Feng looked at the mangled flesh at his feet, suppressing his nausea, and said, word by word, "I want the entire New World Society to pay the price. Such a cult shouldn't even exist! I even want to eliminate anything similar to the New World Society!"

Ju Feng recalled what her father had said to her at their last meal together—"That's just how the world is. We can't change it, we can only adapt to it."

But now? Right in front of her is this guy whose shit has been... oh no, whose body has been drilled to pieces!
Although it's not enough to change the world, it's at least enough to break the rules. This is very important for Ju Feng, who has experienced a series of life changes in just two nights. It's as if all the anger that has been suppressed in his heart is being released at this moment.

So she couldn't help but clench her fists: "Get rid of them, get rid of them all!"

How did it suddenly catch fire?

Bai Chi felt that Ju Feng was a bit confused, but he didn't ask why. He just said, "No problem, I need your strength too. But the battles ahead will be more difficult. Neither Hancheng Construction nor Hanjiang Military Industry are opponents we can defeat right now. And the New World Society, they've only lost a successor and an experimental subject, far from being at the point of shaking their foundation. So, we need to increase our strength."

To enhance strength?

Bai Chi's words calmed down Ju Feng's burning passion.

Indeed, the Blazing Knight System is powerful, but it's not invincible. Judging from her knowledge, the overall combat strength of the Wind Knights should be around the fifth tier.

Being a fifth-tier student in City C is indeed quite good, and they would be considered outstanding graduates in their academy, but they would still be somewhat lacking if they were to really face those major powers.

"Then how can we improve our strength?" Ju Feng asked immediately.

“Two directions,” Bai Chi said, “your own strength and the bond between us.”

Having fused so many times, Bai Chi has a fairly clear understanding of the composition of the Knight's strength.

In simple terms, a knight's strength is determined by their physical strength and the abilities they possess. Physical strength is related to the fusion materials used, which explains why the Blazing Knight and the Gale Knight have stronger physical strength than the Shadow Mist Knight. Yan Le and Ju Feng are both Tier 3 Specialists, while Liu Li Hui is only Tier 1. Of course, even within the same tier, the emphasis on physical strength differs. For example, the Blazing Knight prioritizes strength, the Shadow Mist Knight prioritizes speed, and the Gale Knight falls somewhere in between.

As for the knight's abilities, they are determined by the synchronization rate. It is currently known that reaching 40% allows the use of a finishing move, and the extent to which a finishing move enhances a knight's strength is self-evident.

However, all three knights can only use first-tier ultimate skills at present. Bai Chi guesses that the synchronization rate required for second-tier ultimate skills should be above 60%, because none of them have been able to reach this value yet. Obviously, this is a hurdle.

After hearing Bai Chi's explanation, Ju Feng also seemed to be deep in thought.

First and foremost, she needed to improve her own strength... To be honest, she was indeed considered to have outstanding grades in the academy, but she was still quite far from being a true genius. In her opinion, she would already be very lucky to reach the fourth rank by graduation.

After all, there are some things that you just don't know, and that's simply because you don't know them.

In that case, it's better to start with synchronization rate, also known as bond.

Ju Feng frowned as he recalled the inescapable restraints (bra) he had been in the Incandescent Consciousness Space.

Why can't it be solved? Once it's solved, the strength of the Wind Knight will definitely increase significantly, and it's not impossible for the synchronization rate to break 60%.

What exactly is the difference?
"Alright, we should go." Bai Chi called to Ju Feng, "If we stay any longer, it will be dawn."

Ju Feng nodded casually and followed Bai Chi.

Why can't it be untied? They say the bond isn't strong enough, but how do you define a bond?
She pondered deeply and suddenly a sentence came to mind: "Humans cannot imagine things they have not seen."

And she was in the incandescent space of consciousness.

Could it be that……

Suddenly, Ju Feng had a flash of inspiration and felt that he had found the answer, so he immediately caught up with Bai Chi and asked as if possessed, "Why don't you try mine first?"

"What are you looking at?"

"Chests."

Bai Chi's mind was still preoccupied with those two military industrial enterprises, and he didn't react for a moment. It wasn't until he took two steps forward that he suddenly realized what Ju Feng was talking about.

"what?"
