Amidst the constant sound of gunfire, Li Wei, Stephen, and the others were retreating while firing shots backward.
However, the moment their bullets flew toward their target, they were sliced straight through by a cerulean scythe.
Yet, amidst the countless bullets, that blue scythe always nonchalantly let some pass through.
However, the bullets striking his clothes left no marks at all, as if hitting solid steel.
Stephen complained, "What the hell? Why is the Blue Reverberation appearing there?"
Li Wei, gripping his earpiece, said, "How the hell would I know? Damn it, it looks like he really wants to kill us."
Li Wei and Stephen were still complaining, "If this job goes south, let alone making money, we won't even recover the cost of the bullets."
Yushu said seriously, "Stop complaining. Whether we can make it out alive is the real question now. You saw it too, right? The Blue Reverberation can deflect bullets."
Static crackled in Li Wei's earpiece. "Damn it."
Then, after taking his hand off the earpiece, he said, "We're simply no match for him. This lunatic—run now, at least we might still have a chance to keep our lives."
The constant barrage of covering fire didn't cause any damage to the Blue Reverberation—er, wait, the Blue Reverberation—but it did indeed slow him down.
Yushu looked at the light at the exit ahead and said to the two, "We're almost at the exit."
Just as Li Wei turned to look back, he thought, "Huh? Where is he? Is he... not chasing us anymore?"
Even while turning back, Li Wei didn't stop running. But just as he was about to reach the exit, the Blue Reverberation darted out from a door on the other side.
"Overtaking on a curve, huh? You guy, Blue-kun."
The Blue Reverberation said somewhat playfully, "Good day, my friends~"
"Who exactly issued such a childish request?"
Li Wei watched the Blue Reverberation move so quickly and cursed, "Fuck. Damn it! Run to the left!"
However, the Blue Reverberation didn't chase after them; instead, he said slowly, "Ah, you're so slow. Where do you intend to hide? Could it be that a bundle of rescue ropes will fall from the sky for you?"
As they were about to enter the passageway beside them, a golden magical circle suddenly appeared in the path.
"Stop!" Li Wei, who was rushing in front, forced the two behind him to stop. "What the hell is this?"
Yushu tentatively fired a shot, but the bullet hit the magical circle and was shattered out of thin air. "I don't think it's anything good, at the very least."
Then, the Blue Reverberation and Pluto emerged from the left and right sides behind them.
"Damn it, we're finished."
Then, Stephen, who was beside them, seemed to go mad. "I'm going to fight you all to the death!" He then tried to unleash a hail of bullets.
However, Pluto merely raised his hand, and a golden magical circle appeared at the muzzle of Stephen's gun, preventing him from firing any more bullets.
The Blue Reverberation said to the three of them, "Save your ammunition."
Li Wei looked at the two baffling individuals. "Blue-brain-dead, what exactly do you want to do?" "Why use such ugly language?"
Yushu, behind them, also tried to fire, but after seeing Stephen's gun jammed, he withdrew his own weapon.
But the moment he withdrew it, he saw an invitation card materialize out of thin air from the pocket next to Li Wei. He pulled it out and handed it to Li Wei in front of him. "Li Wei, look at this..." "An invitation?"
Stephen looked at the invitation. "Could it be that The Library recently designated as a disease of The City?"
The Blue Reverberation watched their conversation. "Don't you want to think about what your current situation is? Why are you not taking me seriously?" "Look at you all huddled together in the corner. You really look like a brood of cute little chicks shivering in the cold wind!"
Feng: "I can't do it, I can't go on writing this. Brain-dead, you really are something, Oscar, the golden statue belongs to you. Who said earlier that a strange request was issued?"
The three of them were invited by the Second Association of the Death Guild. However, the Second Association is managed by the First Association. Who is the First Association? Selma. You haven't seen Selma, but you've had Selma slices, right? Who is the source? It's so hard to guess.
Eileen: "So, am I also a part of your play?"
Then, Li Wei crouched down, put down his gun, and stood up again. He said to the Blue Reverberation, "Blue Reverberation, if we have disrupted your affairs, I sincerely apologize to you. We swear we will forget everything we have seen and heard here. Could you please show mercy and let us go?"
The Blue Reverberation laughed, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "What?... Hahahaha."
However, Pluto, who had been silent beside him, seemed to have the corners of his mouth lift in a slight arc at the same time. Why is it slight? Think about his face.
"Then, please tell me, who is that client?" The three of them did not answer the question immediately. "I'll give you ten seconds." "Nine." "Eight." "Seven."
"Li Wei, don't just stand there like a fool, think of something! Or hurry up and do something with that invitation." "Six."
Li Wei searched his pockets, then said hurriedly, "Do any of you have a pen? We need to sign it here."
The Blue Reverberation, as if prepared, took out a fountain pen with blue and white patterns from his person. "Ah, if it's a pen, I have one here." "No rush, take your time."
This sentence was like... Feng: "I can't do it, I can't go on writing this."
"Everyone, sign quickly!" Just as the Blue Reverberation counted to three, the three of them had all filled their names on the invitation.
Then the Blue Reverberation said to them, "Don't forget to return the pen to me when the time comes. Hopefully, you can make it out alive."
The three of them didn't hear the second half of the sentence, only the first. In an instant, the three of them vanished without a trace, along with the gun Li Wei had left on the ground.
Then, Argalia said to Pluto beside him, "Now the show is about to begin, right?" A decaying voice emanated from the black skull. "That is certain."
