Chapter 17, The Rising Darkness
"My ability is to stop time... Remembered. โ
In order to gain Jiujiu's trust, Jotaro did not hesitate to tell Jiujiu about his stand-in ability.
After arranging a place for Jotaro, Jiujiu immediately drove home.
Mr. Jotaro's ability made Jiujiu's body always have a feeling of restlessness. An indescribable thought haunted him, a familiar feeling that he had never seen before.
For two days in a row, the group did not receive any orders to dispatch. The eerie silence made them feel a little uneasy.
"It's almost time, big guy get off work."
Director Yao gave an order, and everyone began to pack their things.
"Have you seen Yao's stand-in?"
The newcomer Xu Lan was very curious about this.
"No, he doesn't have a stand-in, Meng Hong and I have tried it, and he can't see our stand-in at all. When we train. He can only see the effect, not the process. Hua Ling replied.
Xu Lan nodded as if she didn't understand, and when she arrived at the garage, the five of them left. And in the dark, a group of people are moving towards the five, ready to move.
"Do it!" The group of people divided into five directions and chased after Jiujiu.
Downstairs in Kangda Community, Xu Lan just got off the bus. There was not a single place on the bus, and she stood all the way back, shaking her hands a little sore.
When she just wanted to enter the gate of the community, there was an ominous aura behind her, Xu Lan turned her head instantly, and a beautiful woman was standing behind her.
"I've been discovered!"
The tone of the dressed woman seemed unconcerned.
"Who are you!!"
"I, I'm the flower of the dragon group, Qiu Lihua. This time, the boss sent me to take your life! Don't move, I'll try to be as light as possible. Iron Maiden !! โ
When she summoned the stand-in, her face turned old and ugly, and a huge torture instrument floated in front of her, and a smell of blood emanated from the stand-in.
Xu Lan was about to vomit disgusted by this woman.
"Suffer death! As long as I take your life, I can stay young for longer!! Julia's elegant voice grew old and fierce.
As soon as the voice fell, the sides of the Iron Maiden opened, revealing the steel nails on the inside. Subsequently, dozens of steel nails broke away from the iron plate and rushed towards Xu Lan.
"Play with me, you're still too tender! Hedgehog (hedgehog)!! โ
A small hedgehog appeared, and many spikes shot out of its back, colliding with the steel spikes. Dozens of steel nails collided with the spikes in a clanging sound. In the blink of an eye, all the steel nails fell to the ground, and the remaining spikes continued to fly out, but they were still blocked by the steel plate of the opponent's stand-in.
"Looks like I'm underestimating you! Iron Maiden๏ผ Sacrifice!! Seeing that the attack of his stand-in had no effect, the old woman's teeth bared.
But her stand-in was not ambiguous, and two pitch-black tentacles stretched out from the inside, binding Xu Lan's stand-in. The stand-in was caught, and Xu Lan also felt a tight sense of restraint.
In an instant, two more tentacles stretched out and dragged Xu Lan inside.
"Hedgehog (Hedgehog) Defensive Form!"
Before the two iron plates were closed, the hedgehog successfully turned into a defensive form, and a big hedgehog held Xu Lan in his arms.
Although it was protected, the steel nails on the iron plate still scratched Xu Lan's cheek. As if because of the smell of blood, the iron plate closed more and more strongly.
And at this time, Xu Lan thought of an idea, although it was risky. But I had to do it.
The hedgehog instantly retracted its defensive form, and the iron plate slammed shut.
"But that's it, hahahaha!" The old woman let out a lewd smile that resounded throughout the deserted road.
But the Iron Chef didn't shed blood, and Qiu Lihua felt that something was wrong.
The surface of Qiu Lihua's stand-in bulged little by little. Hundreds of spikes pierced the Iron Chef's steel skin, and the stand-in fell apart in an instant.
"Playing with thorns in front of me, you don't deserve it."
Closing and reopening the defensive form at that moment was the only tactic Xu Lan could think of at that time. She also paid a terrible price for this, and a cut was made in her back.
"Heh... Hehe.... This is just the beginning! What awaits you is true despair!! โ
Qiu Lihua, who was covered in injuries, did not stop laughing, which made people's backs hairy.
"For glory!!"
As soon as the words fell, Qiu Lihua blew herself up in front of Xu Lan.
The power of the explosion blew Xu Lan out with a stand-in, and the shock wave of the explosion shook Xu Lan and made Xu Lan spit out a mouthful of blood.
No, we need to inform them immediately! Xu Lan took out her mobile phone with difficulty.
