Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"Is it difficult?" Old Tang asked back.

Something even more incredible happened. The conical bullet slowly separated, blunted, and lost its edges in Old Tang's hands, eventually forming two round metal balls, one large and one small. The larger metal ball was solid black, which was the main alloy that made up the bullet body, while the smaller metal ball was a silvery-white liquid, which was the mercury element in the bullet.

"Come to think of it, I've really hated this stuff for a long time. I never use it when making alchemical weapons. You can't find any mercury in my Bronze City." Old Tang twisted the ball of mercury metal and placed it in front of the longship. "You just want to kill me with this, right?"

Changchuan's lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word. He seemed completely frozen, his brain practically shutting down. His face was filled with terror and dullness... The ultra-high temperature field capable of vaporizing bullets, the "Word Spirit: Monarch Flame," the ghostly speed, the ability to manipulate and even separate metal at will...

"Who the hell are you?" Changchuan looked at Old Tang and squeezed out these hoarse words with difficulty.

"Look at what you look like now, Brother Longship." Old Tang sighed helplessly, "So why didn't you consider my advice from the beginning? I gave you a chance to survive, but only asked you to kill some people with your own hands and then give up your ability to move... Brother Longship, you don't know that I am much more merciful than I was thousands of years ago."

Thousands of years ago... Changchuan didn't even have time to consider the deeper meaning of this sentence. Now he has lost the ability to think. Only the instinct of survival prompted him to raise the sniper rifle in his hand and aim at Lao Tang again.

But Changchuan no longer had the chance to pull the trigger, because there was a bloody hole in the center of his forehead... The small mercury metal ball in Lao Tang's hand had already shot into Changchuan's head.

……

Kotetsu, Yingxiu, several team leaders of the Kanto branch and some people from the Kansai branch fell into the tunnel on the lifting platform.

"I didn't hear any sound of water," Luo Ye said. "The Red Devil River probably hasn't been dug through yet, the well of burials hasn't been opened, and the Sheqi Eight Clan's plan hasn't been completed yet."

"Isn't that our victory?" Xiao Xu smiled lightly. "Those guys at the Ganliu Research Institute aren't very effective. There are also members of the Ghost Clan among the guards. Another group of Ghost Clan is digging out from underground towards the Red Well. The strongest enemy is only the patriarch, Miyamoto Shio... It's a pity that he's only gifted with a smart brain, but a complete wretch in combat."

"Don't be careless. Judging from the situation on the ground, the Snake Family may have known we were coming." Kotetsu whispered, "Perhaps the deserted situation up there was a deliberate show. To make us let down our guard, the Fuuma Family ninjas and Ryoma Genichirō's Self-Defense Force may have all retreated to the tunnels. Those guys at the Ganliu Research Institute also have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. Keep your nerves tight. From the moment we descend into the tunnel until we can confirm the situation below, we must be ready for battle at any time."

Chapter 541 Tunnel Encounter

"I wonder if you're too nervous?" Xiao Shi rolled his eyes. "If Asuya were in charge of the operation, he wouldn't be as timid as you."

"Please control your bad habits and stop being such a fangirl all the time, okay?" Kotetsu scolded Xiao Xu in a low voice with a cold face, "Especially towards a dead person!"

"That's right, Asuya is dead. No matter how charming he was before, a dead person is meaningless. What a pity! I didn't get to taste Asuya." Xiao Xu said with regret, "But I am quite interested in Chu Zihang, who killed him."

"I've seen Chu Zihang's photos and information. He's a very handsome man, very powerful, and reportedly even more ruthless than Asuya." Xiao Xu's slender tongue slowly licked her cherry-red lips. "He's such a charming guy! Men like him are the most attractive to me... I wonder what that man tastes like."

Xiao Xu is a very beautiful woman. Under normal circumstances, her every frown and smile shows her charm. At this moment, in the dim tunnel, this woman said these explicit words in an ambiguous tone and made suggestive movements. This superb beauty made everyone in the Kansai branch feel a little dry in the mouth.

But completely different from the people in the Kansai branch, the team leaders of the Kanto branch have obviously become immune to Xiao Xu's coquettishness... or to be more precise, they are afraid of her.

Both Hu Che and Ying Xiu had been successfully seduced into bed by Xiao Su. It was a memory that was both wonderful and torturous. Looking back, it seemed like a dream. Hu Che, Ying Xiu and Chang Chuan all knew that this woman's sluttiness was in her bones. Whenever this woman seduced a man she liked into bed, she would instantly transform into a soul-sucking succubus, or a snake demon that sucked the man's essence and would never stop until she had drained him dry. Therefore, even notorious lunatics like Hu Che and Ying Xiu would stay away from this woman.

"Xiao Xu, Kotetsu is right this time. You should be more cautious." Luo Ye, as the elder sister, couldn't help but remind her younger sister, Xiao Xu, "Although the people in the Kanto branch all have eccentric personalities, at least we are not enemies. But that Chu Zihang is an enemy. I know that the colder and more powerful a man is, the more he will attract you, but the more he attracts you, the more dangerous he is."

"Don't worry, Luoye. You don't understand men as well as I do." Xiao Zhu smiled faintly. "Some men are like wild horses, some are like lions, but that's all they deliberately put on for you. If you were to strip naked and stand before them, both the wild horse and the lion would reveal their true colors, turning into a pug with its tongue lolling out, eager to rush up and lick you. That's the nature of men...don't you agree?"

While making sarcastic remarks, Xiao Xu glanced at everyone in the Kansai branch with a half-smile on her face... The team leaders and members of the Kansai branch felt a little guilty when Xiao Xu's eyes swept over them, and subconsciously avoided the gaze of this woman, not daring to look her in the eye.

"Speaking of Chu Zihang... do you think the current unusual situation at Hongjing is related to Kassel Academy?" Yingxiu tentatively raised her suspicions. "This force that suddenly intervened in Japan has also participated in the war between the Snake Eight Clan and the Demonic Clan, and even killed Mr. Masamune, who even General Wang couldn't deal with. The Snake Eight Clan and the Demonic Clan have issued the highest level of scarlet bounty on them. Their actions are always unexpected."

"We can't rule this out, because Kassel Academy and the Eight Snake Clans don't have any fundamental conflict, and they have even less conflict with the Fierce Ghost Clan." Luo Ye nodded. "Actually, if you think about it carefully, Kassel Academy's motive for assassinating Mr. Zhengzong is illogical. If, according to the secret party's Abrahamic Code, they judge us, the descendants of the White King, to be dangerous, their first goal should be to eliminate or control the more unstable Fierce Ghost Clan, not to target the Eight Snake Clans."

"Could it be to demonstrate some kind of deterrent effect?" a team leader from the Kansai branch offered his opinion. "The Snake Eight Clan used to be under the control of Kassel Academy, but under Mr. Masamune's leadership, the Snake Eight Clan severed Kassel Academy's constraints, and the Japanese branch was disbanded. So, in the eyes of the secret party, Mr. Masamune is an annoying rebel leader who should be the first to be singled out as a warning to others."

"If this was truly an attempt to make an example of someone, it shouldn't have been done by Chu Zihang, a student, but by Principal Ange himself, and it wouldn't have been done through assassination." Luo Ye shook his head. "We've all been in the principal's class. Given the pride of that so-called 'strongest dragon slayer,' he wouldn't do something like sending one of his students to assassinate the leader of a hostile faction."

"There were rumors among the Snake Eight Families that the attack on Genji Heavy Industries by Deadpool was resolved with the help of Caesar and Chu Zihang. There were also rumors that the current patriarch, Gen Zhisheng, had a close personal relationship with the three commissioners from Kassel Academy," Yingxiu said suddenly. "There were also rumors among the demons that the Dragon King, Kazama Ruri, had invited Caesar, Chu Zihang, and Lu Mingfei to his performance at the Kabuki Theater and seated them in the VIP seats."

"These young people at Kassel Academy are also shrouded in suspicion," Luo Ye sighed. "But whether they have a personal relationship with Yuan Zhisheng or a friendship with Lord Dragon King, it has nothing to do with us. We just need to know if there is any conflict between their goals and our actions. Regardless of the purpose of their previous actions, Kassel Academy's ultimate goal is absolutely unavoidable..."

"'God'." Kotetsu continued Luoye's words and added, "This is also the common goal of the Eight Snake Clan and the Menggui Clan."

"But it doesn't make sense if it was someone from Kassel Academy who invaded Hongjing," Yingxiu questioned. "Although Chu Zihang, who was able to kill Asuya, is very powerful, there are only three of them, Caesar, Chu Zihang, and Lu Mingfei. Are they really capable of dealing with so many ninjas from the Fuma family? What's more, Ryoma Genichirō has two reinforced companies of Self-Defense Force troops and formations of armored vehicles, tanks, and fighter jets under his command... Chu Zihang's Word Spirit is 'Junyan', Caesar's Word Spirit is 'Kamaitachi', and Lu Mingfei has no Word Spirit or is unknown. If there is really someone who can resolve all this quietly, it should be Principal Ange himself, who possesses the 'Word Spirit of Time Zero'."

"That's enough. Whether the enemy is the Sheqi Eight Clans or Kassel Academy, we'll know for sure after we see what's happening in the tunnel." Kotetsu gestured to silence everyone, "We're about to land. Stay quiet, be alert, and hold your sword in front of you."

The lifting platform slowly landed everyone in the tunnel.

Unlike the elevator passage, it is not pitch black below the tunnel because all the xenon lamps used for engineering lighting are on. Although the tunnel is not as bright as daylight, at least the brightness of the light is within the comfort zone of human vision.

Various complex engineering machines and instruments are placed on both sides of the tunnel, but the construction platforms are empty, with no people in sight, no sound of machinery running, and no human voices.

Just like the situation of the Fuma family ninjas in the dense forest, Ryoma Kotaro and the Self-Defense Forces around the Red Well, the members of the Ganliu Research Institute under the tunnel have all disappeared, and all the people from the Yaki Eight Clan have disappeared without a trace from the Tama River area.

A member of the Kansai branch wanted to get off the lift platform, but was stopped by his team leader who grabbed his shoulders. The team leaders of the Kanto branch and the Kansai branch held their breath and looked around calmly.

This is the caution of a strong man, just like a wild beast that comes to an unfamiliar environment and does not immediately roar loudly to show its power. Instead, it will first carefully sniff and observe the environment, judge the difference in strength between the master of the territory and itself, and finally seize the right time to kill the opponent with one blow!

"It seems like there is really no one here." After a long few seconds passed, Luo Ye spoke tentatively.

"What's going on?" Yingxiu also frowned. "Where are those guys from the Yanliu Research Institute? Why is there no one at Hongjing? Why doesn't everything match the information we heard before?"

At this moment, right in front of them is the main excavation road. The shield machine and the super tunnel boring machine are about 500 meters in front of the tunnel, and behind them is the Red Well. Above the Red Well are 5,000 tons of mercury and countless thermite incendiary bombs. That is the tomb they prepared for the "God".

"The intelligence said there weren't any heavy weapons inside Hongjing, but based on the current situation, that intelligence is no longer reliable," Kotetsu whispered. "Let's split up. Yingxiu and I will form a team. We'll take some of the Kansai branch personnel to check out the situation at Hongjing. The other group will follow Xiao Zhuo and Luoye. You'll be in charge of the tunnel boring machine. We'll meet back at the lift platform in five minutes to exchange intelligence."

"That's fine with me." Xiao Xu shrugged, indicating no objection. "Luoye and I have always been partners, so it's fine to work with the Kansai branch. There aren't any men among them who interest me, so it won't distract me from the mission."

"This is the best suggestion. Separate actions will be the most efficient." Luo Ye nodded. Together with Xiao Zhuo, she led a group of people from the Kansai branch and headed towards the direction of the tunnel being dug deep.

Kotetsu and Yingxiu, along with another group of people from the Kansai branch, turned around and headed in the opposite direction towards Hongjing.

Luoye and Xiao Zhuo were moving through the tunnel at a constant speed. Xiao Zhuo was looking around as she walked, which was to use her eyes to observe and collect the most obvious intelligence... In addition to being a fighter, Xiao Zhuo also had another identity in the Kanto branch: she was a scout.

Although this woman looks lustful and unruly, she actually possesses a level of attentiveness and keen insight that ordinary people don't have.

"There are no obvious signs of a fight, and there's no smell of blood in the air. It's very similar to the situation with the Fuma clan ninjas in the dense forest." Xiao Xu said behind Luo Ye, "There are only two possibilities. The first is that the people from the Ganliu Research Institute did voluntarily evacuate from here for some reason. The second is that someone knocked everyone out before the Ganliu Research Institute could react and either carried them out of the tunnel or hid them somewhere inconspicuous deep inside the tunnel."

"I'm more inclined to the first scenario. In the second scenario, unless Principal Ange comes personally, I can't imagine anyone else having the ability to do so," Luo Ye said. "But if that old man really comes, given his way of doing things, he'll definitely go straight for the main issue. He won't waste his time and energy on small-time figures like the Fuma clan ninjas and the Ganliu Research Institute researchers."

"Preliminary judgment is that the tunnel is safe," Xiao Xu said. "If heavy weapons are used in here, the oxygen will be depleted, and the entire tunnel will collapse. Then the Sheqi Eight Clans will never be able to bury the 'God' in the Red Well."

"We've advanced over 400 meters and can see the tunnel boring machine ahead," a mechanically proficient team leader from the Kansai branch reminded Xiao Zhuo and Luo Ye. "The super tunnel boring machine should be just ahead of the tunnel boring machine. Beyond that is probably the end of the tunnel. The people from the Rock Flow Research Institute stopped digging here."

A huge black shadow appeared in front of Luoye, Xiaozhi and the people from the Kansai branch. It looked like several train carriages spliced ​​together. It was a giant called a tunnel boring machine, which could ensure the stability of the tunnel excavation project.

Everyone walked around the shield machine and went deeper into the tunnel. The super tunnel boring machine, which was completed under the personal guidance of Shio Miyamoto, was parked at the deepest part of the tunnel. In front of the huge alloy drill bit was a hard basalt wall, which was the end of the tunnel. Thunderous sound of water came from the other side of the rock wall.

Judging from the sound, the underground cavity on the opposite side is very close to the tunnel. It can be seen that the Sheqi Eight Clan is only one step away from digging a connection between the tunnel and the turbulent underground river called the Red Demon River and opening the Well of Hidden Corpses... but for some reason they did not do so.

Perhaps the figure above the tunnel boring machine was the reason.

The team leaders of the Kansai branch immediately reached for their weapons, each of them assuming a posture as if facing a formidable enemy.

There are other people in the tunnel!

Xiao Zhu squinted his eyes and saw a girl wearing a blue long skirt. Her figure looked quite graceful, with long calves and well-proportioned flesh. However, because the light was against him, he could not see the girl's face on the tunnel boring machine clearly from his angle.

"There shouldn't be a researcher at the Yanliu Research Institute who's so feminine." Xiao Zhuo spoke to the girl across the air. "Who are you?"

"I'm happy to be praised for my femininity. Actually, I should also praise you for your femininity, but I don't have a good impression of you." The girl in the blue skirt said to Xiao Zhu, "Because you just said the wrong thing."

"I said the wrong thing?" Xiao Xu frowned slightly. "What do you mean? I don't think I know you. We only exchanged no more than three sentences when we met."

"Oh, I'm talking about what you said on the lifting platform when you were going down the tunnel just now. You said you were very interested in Chu Zihang and wanted to try him out." The girl in the blue skirt on the tunnel boring machine looked down at Xiao Zhuo condescendingly.

Chapter 542 Asking a Dragon King to Tear His Mouth Apart

"Yeah, that's what I said." Xiao Xu admitted generously, "So what if it's what I said? I like cold and strong men, that's normal. No woman can refuse such a man, right? Do you like cowardly men?"

"No, my preferences are the same as yours. I also like cool, quiet, and tough men." The girl in the blue skirt shook her head at Xiao Xu. "But what makes me different from you is that I don't think all men are lapdogs... So do you think Chu Zihang is a lapdog too?"

"I understand!" Xiao Xu showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. She clapped her hands and said, "You are from Kassel College, right? Are you Chu Zihang's suitor? Is that why you care about him so much?"

"No wonder, no wonder you care so much about whether I'm interested in Chu Zihang, and what I say about him. It's because you're Chu Zihang's admirer, am I right?" Xiao Xu didn't answer the girl in the blue dress. Instead, he raised his slender neck towards her. "It must be very uncomfortable for me to describe the man you admire like this. Don't you want to jump down and slap me in the face?"

Luoye knew her twin sister very well. She knew that Xiao Xu was deliberately acting mean. This was Xiao Xu's strategy. When facing enemies of different genders, Xiao Xu usually had different words to say... If the enemy was a man, Xiao Xu would use a charming tone and flirt to seduce the other party. If the enemy was a woman, Xiao Xu would do her best to be mean and use sarcastic and vicious words to irritate the other party. All of this was to pave the way for the enemy to relax their vigilance during the battle. Xiao Xu's tone, coupled with her natural coquettishness, made her tactics rarely fail.

"Xiao Xu, be careful. This woman might not be simple." Luo Ye whispered in Xiao Xu's ear. "She said she heard our conversation on the lift platform and repeated it. This shows that she has hearing far beyond the ordinary. Usually, a half-blood's hearing is linked to the purity of their bloodline. To be able to hear the discussion from such a distance, she either has an extremely pure bloodline or possesses some kind of spiritual power that can enhance her perception."

"Don't worry, Luoye. I haven't sensed any danger from her yet. Maybe the people at the Yanliu Research Institute have installed surveillance cameras or listening devices near the lift platform. From the moment we stepped onto the platform, our every move has been under surveillance." Xiao Xu whispered to Luoye, "Or maybe, as you said, she possesses some kind of word spirit similar to the 'Sickle Weasel'. We've seen many such people who pretend to be mysterious, but didn't they all end up under our swords in the end?"

"There are no surveillance cameras or listening devices. We've shut down all the equipment at the Ganliu Research Institute. I can indeed use the 'Word Spirit Kamaitachi'. You're all right." The girl in the blue dress sat on the guardrail of the tunnel boring machine, swinging her legs. "But you're wrong. Kassel Academy does have many suitors for Chu Zihang, but I don't think I'm one of them."

The girl in the blue dress waved her fingers, and faint fluctuations were heard in the air. It was the transparent wind demon spreading into the distant space. This was the domain of "Word Spirit·Kamaitachi", proving that she indeed possessed the power of "Kamaitachi".

After hearing what the girl in the blue skirt said, Xiao Xu and Luo Ye felt a little relieved. Originally, they were a little wary of this unidentified girl who suddenly appeared in the tunnel dug by the Yanliu Research Institute. However, they didn't expect that before they could test her a few words, she took the initiative to reveal the truth that she was from Kassel Academy and possessed the "Word Spirit Kamaitachi". This showed that she was not very wary and revealed her origins and Word Spirit right away.

The Word Spirit is like a half-blood's trump card. When two half-bloods fight each other, whether or not they know each other's Word Spirit has an almost decisive influence on the direction of the battle. Anyone with a little combat experience will not immediately inform the enemy "I am so-and-so, I come from such and such, my Word Spirit is XXX"... Those who would do so are either strong people who have absolute confidence in their own strength and are sure that they can crush the enemy even if the enemy knows their background, or they are fools who lack combat experience.

Obviously, Xiao Xu felt that the girl in the blue skirt in front of him did not belong to the former, and the word spirit she possessed was "Kamaitachi", which meant that she was able to hear the conversation between herself and Kotetsu and others from a distance of several hundred meters by relying on the power of "Kamaitachi". This also further indirectly confirmed that the other party might not have a very pure bloodline.

After all, the "Word Spirit·Kamaitachi" itself does not have any aggressiveness, and the ranking of "Kamaitachi" in the Word Spirit series is not high. Among the owners of "Word Spirit·Kamaitachi", there are very few guys like Caesar Gattuso who can reach the "A" level bloodline rating. Xiao Xu judged that the bloodline of the girl in front of him should be worse than that of Caesar.

It seems that Kassel Academy not only has monsters like Chu Zihang who can kill Asuya, but also has inexperienced idiots like this girl... Although he doesn't know why Kassel Academy would send such an inexperienced girl to participate in such a chaotic war in Japan, Xiao Xu feels that he has completely seen through the other party.

As for whether it is possible that the other party possesses more than one Word Spirit... no one would even consider this unreasonable speculation.

"We talked so much on the lift just now, but you only focused on what I said about Chu Zihang. This shows that you care about Chu Zihang very much." Xiao Xu looked at the girl in the blue skirt. "You clearly care about Chu Zihang so much, and you even asked if you were Chu Zihang's suitor... Oh, I get it. You only dare to secretly admire him. Do you feel that you are not worthy of Chu Zihang, so you dare not pursue him?"

"You're not going to say you're Chu Zihang's sister or childhood sweetheart, are you?" Xiao Xu suddenly smiled. "Did I hurt your pride by saying that? Are you angry or sad right now?"

"If I tell you I'm going to get that man named Chu Zihang, I'll get him and conquer him, make him crawl at my feet like a pug, sticking out his tongue, and I'll reward him by licking my soles. I'll ravage his handsome face, and he'll enjoy it and smile brilliantly... I'll make all of this a reality." Xiao Xu's smile became more and more unbridled. "Will you get even angrier if I say this? Do you have the urge to tear my mouth apart?"

Xiao Xu's frivolous and arrogant laughter echoed in the empty tunnel. In sharp contrast to her was the quiet girl in the blue skirt on the tunnel boring machine. The girl said nothing in the face of Xiao Xu's blatant provocation... The other party was so angry that she couldn't speak. Xiao Xu showed an expression of confidence. She enjoyed this method of trampling on the other party's self-esteem step by step. Xiao Xu felt that she had pushed the other party's patience to the limit.

The next step is to completely destroy the other person's self-esteem, Xiao Xu thought...but the next second, her confident smile froze on her face.

"Tear your mouth apart... This is the first time I've heard such a despicable request. It's consistent with your nature." The girl in the blue dress shook her head. "You know what? The only reason I'm willing to waste time listening to all this nonsense from you is because I'm too bored."

"Nonsense?" Xiao Zhu was stunned, his expression a little stiff. "You said what I said was nonsense?"

The other party's tone was much calmer than Xiao Xu had imagined. There was no trace of anger or shame in his tone at all, so Xiao Xu was a little at a loss for a moment.

"Yeah, you've been fantasizing about seducing Chu Zihang in your head. You've been fantasizing about conquering Chu Zihang and making him your man." The girl in the blue skirt smiled softly, "But as far as I know, you can't even seduce that Asuya. What makes you think you can conquer Chu Zihang? What are you talking about is nothing but nonsense."

Xiao Xu's face changed instantly. She did feel frustrated that she failed to conquer Asuya. This had always been a thorn in Xiao Xu's heart. This was one of the few times that her feminine charm, which she was proud of, had failed. Now that the other party mentioned this matter in a nonchalant tone, it undoubtedly hurt her self-esteem again.

"You think that all that nonsense you just said can irritate me and make me furious, right? But I can only say that you're overthinking it, because I know Chu Zihang better than anyone else. He's not the kind of man who would be seduced by someone like you." The girl in the blue skirt said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be so kind as to be with him."

Doing the honor of being with him... who is with whom? Xiao Zhu was a little confused by the other party's words and couldn't react for a while.

The girl in the blue dress snapped her fingers, and faint fluctuations were heard in the air again. The wind demon that had been released before returned with the sound from the other end of the tunnel.

"Looks like Senior Sister's side is almost done with as well," the blue-skirted girl muttered, then looked down at Xiao Zhu, Luo Ye, and the other members of the Kansai branch. "After those from the Sheqi Eight Clans left, I've been guarding here all by myself. It's so boring! I waited for over half an hour until you finally arrived, but you kept spouting meaningless nonsense. If I had dealt with you all right away, I'd be silent for a while, because Senior Sister would definitely be slower than me in dealing with the other group."

"I've put up with you for so long, and now Senior Sister's situation is finally almost resolved." The blue-dressed girl's eyes suddenly lit up in scarlet-gold. She looked at Xiao Zhu, "Aren't you expecting me to slap you in the face or rip your mouth apart? Don't worry, I'll satisfy you right away."

Being stared at by the blue-dressed girl's golden eyes, Xiao Xu felt a shudder from the depths of his soul, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, the girl in the blue dress jumped down from the high guardrail of the tunnel boring machine...but she did not fall to the ground, but slowly landed in front of everyone like riding the wind.

……

The situation was the same as Xiao Xu and Luo Ye's. Hu Che and his friends also encountered the same situation. They hurried to Hongjing. At the end of the tunnel here was a huge engineering elevator, which was a lifting platform surrounded by a half-person-high fence.

The lifting platform was empty. This was the tomb prepared by the Eight Clans of Sheqi for the "God". It should have been heavily guarded, but at this moment, both the guards and the researchers from the Yanliu Research Institute were nowhere to be seen... Only a girl in a white dress was standing quietly on the engineering elevator.

Under the girl's feet was the Red Well. This was the first time that Kotetsu and the others had actually seen the Red Well. It was a huge vertical well with a drop of more than one hundred meters. The surface area of ​​the bottom of the well was about one cubic kilometer... For a well, it was really too deep and too large. Its volume was comparable to that of a large underground lake.

Mercury and thermite incendiary bombs were both contained in a huge funnel-shaped instrument above the Red Well, and the instrument for operating the instrument was to the girl's left.

Five thousand tons of mercury would only be enough to cover the bottom of an underground lake, but once mixed with the water at the bottom of the well, it would form a highly toxic "mercury lake". Add to that countless thermite incendiary bombs... this extremely lethal weapon would undoubtedly be fatal to both pure-blooded dragons and hybrids.

Kotetsu and his men approached the lifting platform, but the girl in the white dress just stood there motionless, staring at them... The girl didn't seem surprised at all that someone had broken into such a secluded and important place, nor was she scared by the ferocious-looking Kotetsu and his men.

To be precise, the girl seemed to be waiting here for the arrival of Kotetsu and others. Her small face was expressionless, like an artist's most perfect puppet work. The girl's white skirt was swaying in the wind flowing into the red well, revealing her delicate and slender calves like porcelain.

"Yingxiu, you guessed it right." Kotetsu looked at the silver badge on the girl's chest, which was engraved with a half-rotten world tree. "Although I don't know why those guys from the Sheqi Eight Families disappeared, it seems that Kassel Academy has indeed taken over this place."

"The intelligence shows that only a three-person team consisting of Caesar Gattuso, Chu Zihang, and Lu Mingfei was sent to Japan. Later, Principal Ange himself also came to Japan in person." Ying Xiu frowned slightly. "There shouldn't be anyone else. At least the intelligence didn't mention this girl, so her identity is unknown."

"Don't trust that useless intelligence. How many times has it failed?" Kotetsu rubbed his thumb over the hilt of his knife. "Intelligence is constantly evolving. It's better to trust your own eyes than that... Isn't the enemy right before our eyes? If there's anything we need to know, we can pry it out of her ourselves."

"You are very beautiful. I like beautiful girls." Kotetsu looked at the girl in the white dress. "I'll give you a chance. Tell us the personnel, strength, and motives of the people sent to Japan by Kassel Academy. Then, stay with me as your woman for three months, and I promise not to kill you."

Yingxiu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Kotetsu with a wave of his hand.

Kotetsu stared at the girl in white dress from Kassel Academy with burning eyes, and there was a gleam of determination in his eyes.

Chapter 543 Killing Crazy Zero

"But I don't intend to give you a chance." The girl in the engineering elevator said lightly.

As soon as the girl finished speaking, continuous gunshots were heard from the crowd on Kotetsu's side. A member of the Kansai branch took out the gun from his waist and fired at the girl. When there was only one enemy, killing the only enemy meant taking the first credit for the mission, and long-range firing was the best choice for winning.

The member of the Kansai branch emptied an entire magazine, but not a single bullet hit the girl. The member aimed at the most fatal part of the girl's upper torso, but the girl only moved her feet slightly, dodging within a range of almost one square meter. Her movements were as graceful as ballet, and her figure was as agile as an elf in the forest. The bullets hit the iron engineering elevator, splashing sparks.

"Asshole!" Kotetsu yelled, not at the girl in the white dress, but at the Kansai branch member who fired the shot, "Who gave you permission to shoot so casually?"

Kotetsu suddenly turned his head and swung the serrated hook knife from his waist. The member of the Kansai branch who was aiming at the girl in the white dress was still changing the magazine of his pistol. Suddenly, a strong wind carrying the breath of death approached his forehead. The member raised his head, and a serrated blade was infinitely enlarged in his sight, like a shark biting towards him.

The wailing sound remained in his throat, and the member of the Kansai branch didn't even have time to let out a complete scream before his body was cut in two from head to toe by Kotetsu's hook knife, and the broken corpse fell to the ground.
