No matter how hard it was for Aziz to believe, what happened was a fact. Aziz felt so relaxed because Sheyan’s request for him was unbelievably simple – start taking aim and charging his shot when he saw Sheyan’s hand gesture, then pull the trigger. That’s it.
There was no need for him to run, no need for pre-judgment, no need to confuse opponents, no need to dodge, no need to fire continuously or perform any advanced shooting technique! He just needed to pull the trigger, and…..he silently, indifferently saw the enemy fall.
How was that a fight against Awakeners? It was as easy as target practice!
Although Aziz had never personally experienced the power of Sheyan’s disease, his party members had talked about it before. In Aziz’s opinion, Sheyan’s disease may be strange and powerful, but it was definitely no match for Zeus’ gravitational field. He now realised that he was gravely mistaken.
The gravitational field could slow down the speed of enemies within its range but that did not mean the enemies in the field could not dodge or retaliate. Even if they were shot, they could still use potions or other items. However, Sheyan’s ability could completely stun the enemies for a few seconds without prior warning.
This strange and powerful ability was undoubtedly very valuable for gunners. It was especially precious for someone like Aziz who needed the right opportunities to launch an attack!
“Are you talking about Zeus? That guy’s nothing special.”
“The only advantage Zeus has over me is that he’s an Awakener and he has a territory ability. Although I’ve only become a Growth Hunter recently, I should have no problem defeating him.”
Aziz couldn’t help but think back on the words that Sheyan said. At that time, he thought Sheyan merely said them to confuse the enemies, but considering the event that transpired, Sheyan’s words were most likely true!
His current strength as a Growth Hunter was actually comparable to Zeus!
The two of them silently guarded the power supply area for a while. After they found no abnormality, Sheyan realised that Aziz had made a request for a “trade”.
When Sheyan accepted the request, he found out that Aziz had listed all the loot from killing Salmons. There were 4 achievement points and he had drawn a silver-grade storyline equipment called ‘Mwak’s Eye’ that looked like a mix between an emerald and an eyeball. It increased magic damage by 50 points, reduced Physique by 6 points, and increased Spirit and Intelligence by 4 points each. It was a pretty good equipment.
Aziz was still so direct:
“Without you, I can’t kill Salmons. Without me, you can’t kill Salmons. You choose.”
Maybe because the two of them shared the same Golden Side Mission so their realm secretly gave them some privileges and considered the two of them to be in a party. Therefore, the achievement points were still unassigned and could be distributed.
Just like how a lion would never share its food with a hyena, Aziz’s action undoubtedly showed that he had finally truly accepted Sheyan as his temporary partner.
Sheyan knew Aziz was in need of achievement points – almost all contestants were – so he gracefully chose ‘Mwak’s Eye’ . This thing would always fetch a high price in the market and could also be used by either Zi or Franklin.
“We can go now,” after waiting for five minutes, Sheyan sighed with satisfaction and said:
“The storm has passed. The army has entered the base to take control of the situation. Unless we want to explain to them the damages here that are beyond their understanding, then staying with other ordinary employees is our best choice.”
Aziz actually did not intend to leave, but when he saw the look of confidence on Sheyan’s face, he silently patted his weapon and slowly followed Sheyan out. Sheyan noticed that Aziz would constantly look for hiding spots with every step he took. He seemed to do this out of instinct, like it was something in his DNA.
This habit of Aziz’s must seem crazy from ordinary people’s point of view, but in the eyes of professionals like Sheyan, Aziz felt like a cheetah silently moving through the night with its sharp fangs dripping with blood.
They took a few turns through the passages according to the signs they saw before. Everywhere they passed was covered in blood, a testament to the fierce battles that took place. They could sometimes see pieces of torn clothes. Sheyan even saw a “Versace” logo on one of those cloth pieces. He could imagine how devastating it had been for the innocent staff.
Although the participants were few, they could summon creatures to help them. More importantly, their destructive power was tens of times, maybe even a hundred times, more devastating than ordinary people!
As they walked, they found that not only were the blood spots on the ground getting more dense, they had begun to point to a certain direction. Sheyan hesitated on whether they should investigate the blood trail. While he was curious, it could lead to unknown dangers. In the end, it was Aziz who said:
“My hunch tells me that we should follow the blood trail.”
Since Aziz said so, Sheyan must of course respect his wish. They followed the blood trail past a few corridors to a place marked “WC”. The strange thing was that the blood trail disappeared on the west side of the lobby opposite the toilet. Everything in the lobby, be it the furnitures, the benches or the decorations., were all smashed and shattered. Those that couldn’t be smashed had clear claw marks and bite marks on them!
These scars were probably left by robot dogs or summoned creatures.
The wall on the west side of the lobby actually consisted of three layers. The first layer was just ordinary wallpaper and the second layer was just brick and reinforced concrete, but the third layer, which was the innermost layer, was a seamless alloy steel door!
Even the violent attacking creatures could only leave some scratches on the alloy steel door…..At that moment, a group of American soldiers who were armed to the teeth rushed in and pointed their guns at Sheyan and Aziz. Next, the alloy steel door swayed a little, spewed out some white smoke, and slowly opened to both sides.
After the door opened, Sheyan saw K and Z standing in front of a group.
Both sides remained expressionless.
After a while, both sides forced out a superficial smile as a greeting.

“The MIB is so shady,” Jinkuang jumped up and down in a room, full with indignation, while holding a cup of coffee in his hand – of course, the coffee was free. He said:
“The MIB main base was actually divided into the inner and outer area! They let you and some cannon fodder as well as some cloned robots attract the enemies’ firepower outside while the higher-ups hid in the inner area! No wonder their defence collapsed so easily!”
Sheyan lied down on a marching bed. His lips curled into a sneer:
“Fortunately, I never trusted them from the start!”
Thinking of this, Sheyan couldn’t help but focus his attention on his personal space. Inside was a bell-sized ornament hanging from a dog collar.The rough craftsmanship of the ornament covered up the brilliance contained inside nicely!
The center of the ornament was actually a condensed galaxy containing millions of stars! He could even see the slight rotation of the spiral arms. It contained a heart-throbbing beauty.
This was the Galaxy!
It represented a very advanced model of energy transmission in the universe! The technology in the Galaxy was so sophisticated that even if humans were to research on it, they would find it impossible to understand.
Sheyan grabbed the Galaxy in his hand and smirked:
“Good thing I didn’t show the you all my cards, MIB. No matter how wary you were of me, you’d never imagine that I already have the Galaxy in my hands! If I don’t rip you off big time, my name is not Sheyan!”
At this time, someone knocked on his door. The rhythm was dry, monotonous and mechanical. Sheyan walked over and opened the door to reveal a frowning Aziz.
Sheyan was surprised. He knew that Aziz had always been a very calm person. He had a face so expressionless it may as well be the face of a corpse. He rarely showed any emotion like he did now. Something unusual must had happened.
Aziz simply said:
“Take a look.”
Aziz took out an iPad and placed it on the table. He said solemnly:
“This is the information I collected through the Internet in my room. During the last Blood Sensing, a lot of things happened. The situation had turned very tricky! There’s a major upheaval!”
Sheyan’s heart sank. Something that Aziz would describe as “very tricky” must be a huge problem.
He immediately looked towards the iPad and saw a hastily-recorded video of two figures engaging in a fierce battle. The force from their last blow caused a series of violent explosions. Not only were the cars next to them destroyed, even the pedestrian bridge near them started collapsing!
Sheyan looked at a few more videos and found that they were all similar.
“Oh,” Sheyan hesitated for a while before he said, “Some participants were recorded in action. Is there a problem?”
