Bai Zhou: "..."
Yun Yao sneered, "Is this what you call a normal person?"
"Alright, I did overestimate the people from these island families." Bai Zhou shrugged.
"I heard your discussion." The gray-haired girl in the corner said coldly.
The two raised their eyebrows, and at that moment, Bai Zhou noticed a sharp glint. An inexplicable and familiar sense of crisis surged in his heart. He suddenly summoned the Blood Monarch, standing in front of Yun Yao.
The white arc of light clashed against the weapon in his hand, ricocheting throughout the room, piercing the neck of a dancing noble. The splattering crimson stunned everyone present.
The scorching hot bullet head bounced on the ground, reminiscent of the first crisp note of a death prelude played by the Grim Reaper strumming piano keys. The young man collapsed in response, a pool of blood spreading beneath him, eliciting screams from those present.
"Someone is attacking us!"
Bai Zhou was horrified, observing the bullet hole on the wall leading towards the distant second guest building. His gaze pierced through the gray rain curtain, swiftly traversing the vast green lawn, gazing towards a certain window.
A girl lay on the floor, maintaining a sniper position, a few strands of golden hair draped over the gunstock. She pulled the bolt, and a metallic cartridge case fell to the ground.
Xu Xiaoyou meticulously adjusted the scope, slightly altering the angle of the gun's muzzle. Through prior observation, she learned the positions of the entire Special Sixth Class team. The battlefield's layout unfolded in her mind.
The Special Sixth Class and the family members were in the central main building, while she was positioned in the southwest guest building. The straight-line distance exceeded two hundred meters. From the moment the opponents reacted to locking her position, it would take at least three minutes for them to reach her floor.
Chichu Hong was in the northeast window's library of the main building, seemingly on alert due to Anya's earlier released aura, but hadn't yet detected the disturbance here. As for the squad's last member, Black Blade, he was in the first-floor hall, needing to guard against Fishmen potentially storming the manor.
Interestingly, the last guest she invited was heading towards the holiday manor, bringing torrential rain and tides. The Siren King was summoning all Fishmen on the island with its song, advancing in a mighty procession. Surely, a storm would soon sweep over here.
Anya waited in the shadows, ready at any moment, having pushed all her chips onto the table. This game against the Special Sixth Class was unrelated to personal grudges, only concerning differing stances. Only giving her all would be the greatest respect to these opponents.
By now, there was no talk of a draw; she only wanted to win.
"Sorry about this."
Xu Xiaoyou pulled the trigger, and the communication curtain by Bai Zhou's ear was shot through, dropping to the ground before he could report the situation to his other two companions.
"Get back, let me!"
Yun Yao pushed Bai Zhou aside, mobilizing the Mimicry Cannon in her hands and fired towards the direction of the distant guest building.
Brilliant firelights exploded amidst the rainstorm, Xu Xiaoyou rolled away, unaffected, merely dusting her clothes. The whole wall of her previous position collapsed, exposing her to the distant duo's vision.
Seeing the figure in a gray cloak, wielding a heavy sniper, and wearing a white smiling mask, Bai Zhou's pupils contracted intensely. The intense sense of familiarity burst out:
"Dark Gold Rose!"
Hearing this name, Yun Yao was stunned for a moment but quickly responded. Could that be the Prism Tier Cleaner who had attacked Bai Zhou on the cruise ship before?
Rainwater trickled and diverted across the eerie white mask. After a brief gaze exchange, several hundred meters apart, they seemingly heard a sneer emerge from beneath that mask, like a top-tier predator toying with its prey. The metal chest under Dark Gold Rose's feet vented white smoke, vanishing like an Evil Ghost into the smoke.
Xu Xiaoyou unhurriedly changed position, extracted a magazine, taking a new clip from beneath her trench coat. The magazine of this anti-material heavy sniper rifle was as thick as her wrist. Compared to the metal beast in her arms, the girl's hands appeared delicate, slender to an absurd degree.
Deciding to wipe the memory of both Special Sixth Class members would be difficult; she must display an effortlessly commanding posture throughout, at least maintaining the "Dark Gold Rose" mysterious image.
Excited with heat in her brain, Yun Yao couldn't care any longer. Standing by the wall, she rampaged with the cannon aimed at the distant guest building. Powerful energy cannonballs shot out, collapsing walls sturdy enough to withstand tank fire. In moments, the entire guest building was riddled with holes, like a giant whale stabbed with multiple harpoons.
"Yun Yao, calm down!" Bai Zhou lowered his voice.
The terrified screams of nobles nearby didn't help Yun Yao calm down. The excitement of facing a formidable enemy had her hormones flooding uncontrollably. She wanted to blast that mysterious one to pieces to present before the Chief, certain Chichu Hong would see her in a new light.
Bai Zhou knew he couldn't persuade Yun Yao in this state; it was their innate character flaw, and aside from the Chief, no one could restrain them at such times.
Bai Zhou could only silently pray that there were no hiding family members in the guest building where Dark Gold Rose was, hoping it wouldn't directly collapse.
The bombardment continued for nearly a minute until the cannon barrel overheated. The distant guest building groaned under the strain, and as the dust settled, Dark Gold Rose stopped, unscathed, even with clothes intact.
She gave the two here a thumbs-up, turning slowly under Yun Yao's twitching eyelids.
Yun Yao raised her cannon again, her face slightly twisted, firing once more at the direction of Dark Gold Rose. Astonishingly, the energy cannonballs intentionally avoided her, as though invisible hands diverted them from their original path, grazing that gray cloak and exploding behind her.
The heat wave billowed Dark Gold Rose's cloak, yet she remained unmoving, like a snow-covered cedar rooted to the ground.
"Impossible!" Yun Yao refused to believe, firing in rapid succession, all shells invariably straying from the girl's position. Until the entire floor's load-bearing walls neared collapse from the intense bombardment, Dark Gold Rose remained unscathed.
"This, this cannot be!"
In Yun Yao's nearly tearing gaze, Dark Gold Rose raised her sniper rifle.
"Yun Yao!"
Bai Zhou roared, lunging towards Yun Yao. A bullet skimmed over them, a deliberate mock, as if a warning. The opponent predicted their movement trajectory, corresponding with their post-dive direction.
Far away, Xu Xiaoyou also broke a sweat. She had just used five [Attack Deflection] cards, each time deploying them when energy shells closed in, creating such visual effects. The sense of a looming crisis wasn't pleasant.
Now it's her turn to counterattack.
Previously constrained in the cruise ship's cramped environment, she was now unrestricted. The battlefield was spacious enough to fully unleash her long-range deck.
[Headshot], [Dense Fire Net], [Suppressive Fire] ten of each transformed into light, merging sequentially into Xu Xiaoyou's heavy sniper rifle. The crow-blue metallic barrel instantly radiated with overloaded incandescent red light. The heavy muzzle embedded deeply into the ground, with sporadic fiery emissions yearning for release.
Bai Zhou pulled Yun Yao behind a wall, dense sniper fire forming a metal storm, reducing nearby walls to rubble. God knows how that lunatic shot a sniper rifle at machine-gun speed, each bullet no less powerful than a direct bomb blast, occasionally suppressing them so they dared not peek out. Helplessly, they curled behind a small wall corner.
"Damn it... Bai Zhou, I admit I previously misunderstood you." Yun Yao teared up. Before today, she never imagined herself inferior in long-range fire coverage compared to any association's Cleaner.
The so-called Dark Gold Rose was indeed a monster!
While the suppressive fire continued here, perceptive Chichu Hong noticed the upstairs disturbance. She closed her book, intending to move, when her periphery caught a silver-haired silhouette outside the window, with fiercely restrained red pupils remarkable in their intensity.
Chichu Hong hesitated, and in that pause, the Silver-white spearhead pierced through the wall, reaching her!
