Chapter 1 Updating Before Modifying; Better Reading Experience in Twenty Minutes.

Suren knew what that "Sand Demon" Horace was surprised about.

"Multiple Shot" wasn't just about pulling the trigger four times in quick succession. This gun art required not only extremely high gun skills and proficiency but also extremely high demands on the shooter's muscle reflexes, strength, and resilience.

Suren's gun skills might not have been as good as that "Blind Detective" Bill back then, but in terms of physical strength, no shooter in all of Old Lingdun could reach his current level.

He didn't lack skill; his gun proficiency was high enough, and his body was strong enough.

That was why he could barely fire four shots.

But even so, after using "Quadruple Shot," Suren felt a burning, stinging pain in his forearm flexor muscles, as if a few muscle fibers had snapped.

It was worth it to be able to instantly kill this thick-skinned guy.

Besides, it wasn't a big deal; his super-strong cell activity was rapidly healing those minor injuries.

...

Killing two Tier 2 professionals in one encounter, "gray mist" immediately appeared on the two corpses.

Suren reached out and devoured it.

[Spirit +0.8]

The memory of a professional wasteland hunting group leader; he harvested a lot of wasteland knowledge. Not bad.

And that female warlock gave Suren a small surprise.

Back then, stripping the memories from two teaching assistants at the Black Tower Academy had already made Suren feel like he was taking off. Now, stripping the memories from a formal teacher, a large number of solid theoretical and practical memory fragments poured into his mind, filling too many holes in his "skill tree."

[Acquired 'Virginia Eddie's Memory Fragment *5']

[Spirit +0.9]

That felt good.

Warlock's spiritual power is usually higher, and soul strength is greater, so the quality of the stripped fragments is more complete.

After digesting those memory fragments, Suren instantly felt a sense of comfort throughout his pores, and his face was radiant: "The magic mentor from the Black Tower Academy... the memory fragments are indeed of extremely high quality!"

Before, he had been cramming on alchemical theoretical knowledge.

Runes, spell formulas—each alchemical art required a lot of time.

Now that he had advanced to Tier 2, he needed to master Tier 2 knowledge, and the difficulty had increased again.

Suren always felt that he didn't have enough time.

Because he could control his focus at all times, his learning efficiency was actually not low. But if he wanted to master intermediate and advanced rune knowledge, he wouldn't dare say he was proficient without ten or eight years.

But no matter how much he studied behind closed doors, could it be faster than stripping finished soul fragments?

If you don't count the repeated knowledge, the knowledge stripped from this "Virginia Eddie" corpse alone was enough to save Suren several years of study time.

Looking at it from this perspective, having more enemies didn't seem like a bad thing at all.

...

Suren instantly killed an enemy in one encounter, directly tearing a hole in the encirclement.

He didn't stop, and after devouring the gray mist, he began to run wildly with the two corpses again.

As for why he was carrying the corpses...

Naturally, he wanted to harvest the storage rings and wait for the implanted equipment and professional materials to converge.

The items on Tier 2 professionals were all valuable goods.

What's more...

He felt that if he didn't give those behind him the illusion that "we can catch up," the other party wouldn't chase so hard.

...

Anyone else would have had a layer of skin peeled off by this combination tactic of "Quicksand Art" + "Golden Scale Fire Python," if they weren't killed.

But now, Suren perfectly dealt with it and successfully counter-killed.

Seeing the situation, the experts sent by the Oliver family all changed color.

How could they not have expected that two veteran Tier 2 professionals with rich combat experience would not even be able to stop the enemy for a moment and would be killed in one encounter?!

Wasn't it said that the kid had no means of threatening Tier 2 professionals at all except for that sealed black scythe?!

But what was going on with that puppet that could absorb Tier 2 arcane spells?

They did know that the SS-ranked wanted man was a gun expert, but what was "Quadruple Shot"?

A gun technique that even a gun master couldn't accomplish—a gun expert used this gun technique to collapse a defense-oriented "Sand Demon" Horace. Who would dare to believe it?

Everyone then realized that this seemed to be quite different from the information they had received.

Of course, they knew that this matter had been suspicious from the beginning.

A wanted man took the initiative to appear in the city, sold so many things to expose his identity, and even specifically asked for the 【Puppet Theater】. This was clearly a provocation to the Oliver family.

But even knowing it was bait, they had to bite.

Young Master Danze of the Oliver family was now furious and would never give up until he killed this "Suren" who had snatched his opportunity.

Besides, even if it was suspicious, they had already brought ten Tier 2 professionals. What else could happen?

This lineup was already a "foolproof" encirclement lineup.

Otherwise, would they invite those top professionals to encircle and suppress a Tier 1 wanted man?

Two teammates of the same rank were killed in front of them, and the faces of the remaining eight experts turned black.

But they didn't dare to stop and continued to chase in the direction Suren was fleeing.

Because orders had already come from the communicator.

"Plan B, continue chasing!"

Since they were taking money from the Oliver family, they had to work for them.

...

Suren ran all the way, and signal flares and developer powder exploded all the way in the sky.

"Developer powder" was like rain, covering the ground.

The consumption of these special signal flares alone was not a small amount.

Suren naturally also knew that the eight people chasing closely behind were because there were still dozens of teams disguised as wasteland hunters in the ruins, active nearby, waiting to encircle and suppress him.

Because he also had a communicator with the same channel on his ear.

He was very clear about the enemy's movements and encirclement plan.

It would take some time for the encirclement teams to converge.

Suren wouldn't be stupid enough to wait until the other party completely surrounded him before taking action. After stripping the spoils from the two corpses, he threw away the corpses. Although his speed was three points faster, this was already deliberately holding back. Otherwise, if he were to control the Eight-Armed Spider Spear to run at full speed now, no one in this ruin could catch up with him.

As he ran, he looked back at the eight Tier 2 experts behind him.

After thinking about it, he decided to kill a few more.

To reduce some threat to the subsequent battle.

...

This time, the other party's implementation of the encirclement plan almost took everything into account.

The people chasing him had a perfect combination of professions: melee, magic, crowd control, tracking... all professions were available.

But probably because he had just killed two people, the eight people behind didn't act rashly and were hanging not too far away.

Oh, to be precise, seven were running, and one was flying in the sky.

Suren raised his head and glanced at the big bat.

This guy had a pair of bat wing implants and was the well-known bounty hunter "Darkwing Killer" Dirk Wellman, who was good at sonic remote attacks. His agility attribute was very high, and his melee skills were not weak either. But defense was his weakness.

This guy probably thought that Suren couldn't do anything to him, so he flew all the way in the sky and sprayed sonic attacks all the way. Like area-of-effect artillery fire, explosions were everywhere around Suren.

If Suren's own agility attribute was not low, these "sonic cannons" alone would have been enough for him to drink a pot.

But the other party came prepared, and Suren was not without preparation either.

He had carefully analyzed the information of the pursuers a long time ago and knew who among them was the easiest to kill.

This Dirk was one of the priority targets to be killed.

It looked like Suren was being chased in a panic, but in fact, everything was still within expectations.

Just at this time, Suren saw that the time was ripe and suddenly took out a pile of mechanical spiders from his storage ring and scattered them on the ground.

The mechanical spiders landed and ran around with a creaking sound, fanning out in a sector shape.

They were not restricted in this complex terrain of the ruins and climbed walls and turned stones very quickly.

Those pursuers behind him didn't know what Suren was going to do, but seeing his "abnormal" behavior, no one dared to test it directly. One by one, they showed their defensive means, and their figures also stagnated.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

"..."

A series of explosions sounded, and dozens of mechanical spiders exploded.

Dense smoke instantly obscured a large area of vision.

Those people thought that Suren wanted to interfere with their vision to escape, and there was a burst of urgent shouts in the communicator: "He's going to escape, Wellman, go hold him down!"

The other seven were in the smoke, and only Dirk in the sky was not restricted by the vision, so the task of pursuit naturally fell on him.

"Okay!"

Before he could finish speaking,

A big bat flew out of the thick fog.

And at this time, he had no idea that Suren had taken advantage of the gap in the explosion just now to unlock the secondary implantation.

【Weeping Witch's Hair】will be completely transparent after focusing on dark spirit power.

If someone could sense the energy fluctuations, they would definitely be able to "see" that Suren at this moment was like a jellyfish, with transparent tentacles floating all over his body. Those tentacles were constantly extending towards the sky, and the number was increasing...

Bat wings can fly,

But its special structure gave Wellman enough flexibility to easily dodge bullet shots.

But he couldn't fly very high.

This guy was chasing Suren all the way and vaguely felt that there was some strange feeling around his body, and he felt a faint palpitation.

But being alert was one thing, he couldn't just not chase, right?

He didn't find any abnormalities with sound waves or vision, so he didn't take it to heart.

But as he flew, Wellman suddenly saw the "Suren" hanging below making a gesture of grasping in the void with his ten fingers.

A sense of crisis suddenly descended.

Wellman was guarding against Suren controlling the puppets around him to attack. Suddenly, he felt bad and his expression changed drastically.

Because at this time, he found that countless silver hairs had instantly condensed around his body.

He immediately realized something and shouted in his heart: "【Thousand Silk】implant... Damn it! Didn't they say this kid was a Tier 1 professional? He's a Tier 2 professional!"

Suren's pupils on the ground suddenly shrank, not giving him a chance to fly away.

He skillfully moved his ten fingers, cooperated with several spider spears, and suddenly grabbed hard, shouting softly, "Secret Skill: Bird in a Cage!"

Looking again, the silver threads in his hand suddenly straightened!

...

A puppeteer can not only use puppets to fight, but silk threads are also a powerful weapon. Especially a puppeteer who has integrated the 【Thousand Silk】implant and can control countless silk threads!

This 【Bird in a Cage】control secret technique was the unique secret technique found in the storage ring of the "Trickster" Lloyd.

Using a huge amount of silk threads to control the target.

Originally, this was a technique that could only be used in his 【Puppet Theater】, but now Suren had the witch's hair that could elementalize, so using this technique was even more silently lethal!

Wellman's body was surrounded by silver hairs, and there was nowhere to avoid it.

Even if his bat wings were more flexible, it was futile to try to fly away!

Because at this time, the surrounding silk threads had already tightened, like a silkworm cocoon, tightly trapping him.

His bat wings were restricted and he couldn't take off, and his neck was cut by countless silk threads, so he couldn't make any sound from his throat even if he wanted to use sound waves.

No matter how exquisite your martial skills are, no matter how flexible your movements are, once you are trapped, don't even think about moving.

So what if you can break a hundred hairs?

There are still a thousand, ten thousand!

The main material of Suren's 【Thousand Silk】alchemy implant is "infinite hair"!

The witch mage also has super "intermittency"; if it breaks, it can be reattached!

Just at the moment when the silk thread controlled the enemy, Suren's body on the ground surged with cold flames, and with a huge force, he pulled the silk thread, and his whole body ejected. At the same time, several sharp spider spears revealed sharp barbs, stabbing straight ahead.

One fell, and one bounced up; the two figures were like magnets attracting each other, and they collided with a "swoosh" sound.

After advancing to Tier 2, the law level had been raised to a higher level, and Suren's current 【Mu Shi】cold flames could penetrate the Tier 2 assassin professional as easily as flipping his hand!

With this collision, several sharp spider spears easily pierced through the mummified Wellman.

"Chih!"

"Chih!"

"Chih!"

"Chih!"

Four sounds of piercing brocade silk sounded.

Throat, heart, double waist—four spider spears pierced through each other, and blood arrows spurted out.

A moment later, gray mist appeared.

Suren didn't bother to digest those memory fragments. After landing, he took the silk thread and continued to run forward, dragging a "mummy."

...

Not far away, the seven Tier 2 professionals had just rushed out of the smoke range and happened to see the scene of the spider spear piercing through the body.

The seven were completely stunned.

They thought the spider bomb explosion smoke was some kind of lethal means, but it was just ordinary smoke.

But because of their caution, they delayed for a few breaths.

When their vision recovered again, they saw another companion being killed...

How did that guy do it?

Wasn't Wellman supposed to be able to fly? How could he be tied up and killed?

They didn't see the dense transparent silk threads in the sky, but only saw the spoils tied into a mummy hanging behind "Suren," as if it were a silent mockery...

"Continue chasing, be careful not to fall behind, that guy's methods are very strange!"

"Damn it, the information is wrong, that Suren has probably advanced to Tier 2! The Black Scythe hasn't appeared yet, he is very likely going to get the Black Scythe. Everyone be careful."

"Have the encircling troops on the other side arrived? Good... We can't let him escape; drive him over there. Julian, we'll cover you, prepare to cast your spell..."
