ALL NOVEL Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Betraying the Teacher?!
Could it be that the enemy already knew her identity and deliberately set a trap to lure her in?
Mo Chen did not pay attention to Sin's words and continued speaking.
"With the ability to brainwash through language, coupled with exquisite rhetoric, one can subtly guide and deeply implant thoughts into the target's mind, turning them into a puppet without self-awareness."
"You—who are you really?!"
Sin staggered back a few steps, clutching her still-painful eye, gazing at the figure before her with confusion and suspicion. She suddenly felt like she had encountered an unfathomable force.
She knew she had completely failed!
The fact that the other party was so familiar with her meant it was a trap!
"What am I? You don't need to know," Mo Chen stepped closer to Sin, bent down, and patted her cheek. "You'll find out soon enough."
With his auto-dodge chip, he was naturally not afraid of Sin suddenly attacking him.
However, he had not expected that beneath her mask was the appearance of a pure, harmless young girl.
No wonder so many people had fallen for her.
After all, no one would guess that a seemingly innocent, slightly naive young girl could actually be a serious criminal.
"Ugh, ah…"
Sin suddenly pushed Mo Chen away, stumbling several steps as she endured the intense backlash pain, her eyes snapping open as she activated her ability again!
She would never submit! She would never go back to that dark and hopeless place!
This time, she did not target Mo Chen, but the surroundings.
As her voice dropped, hidden Nikke troops began emerging from the buildings around them.
They rushed toward Mo Chen.
Their eyes were bloodshot, their steps unsteady, their expressions confused—as if their consciousness had been completely corrupted!
There were at least twenty or thirty of them.
Sin clenched her teeth, her heart filled with murderous intent. Even if she had to suffer injuries, she would kill this commander!
Nikke soldiers were not supposed to harm commanders as they were under NIMPH control, but under Sin's influence, they had lost all judgment.
To them, Mo Chen was no longer a human: he was a Rapture.
Moreover, killing the commander didn't necessarily mean attacking directly—it could be through causing a collapse, flooding, explosions, etc., anything that could lead to his death!
"Hey, hey, do you think you can just look down on people like this?"
Suddenly, a clear voice rang out from the other side.
Then, a grenade flew in a perfect arc, slicing through the air.
Boom—!
A huge explosion erupted among the infected Nikke soldiers!
The blast generated a powerful shockwave. It instantly threw the enemies into disarray.
Anis, having jumped down from an abandoned building, wielding a grenade launcher, wiped her nose and proudly declared, "The commander is mine. If you want to take him, you'll have to ask me first."
The remaining Nikke seemed to be stimulated and surged toward Mo Chen.
Tap tap tap—!
The sudden sharp sound of gunfire rang out.
The Nikke still running toward Mo Chen had their legs and limbs shot off by the unexpected bullets, crashing to the ground in a chaotic heap.
At the same time, a figure flashed around the corner of the street.
Racing toward them at full speed.
It was Rapi.
She didn't kill these Nikke, she simply shot their legs, rendering them immobile.
"It's ours."
"Huh?"
Rapi corrected Anis's earlier statement.
"It's our commander."
"Don't be so stingy, can't I just vent a bit?"
"No."
"Dammit, I'll kill you! Ah, I mean, these Nikkes!"
The forward base was full of Nikke who had been manipulated by Sin, but most of them were in a daze, with weak wills and poor combat abilities, making them no match for a well-trained counterattack team.
The battle immediately turned one-sided.
It didn't take long before those Nikke were defeated, their combat abilities lost under the double siege of the team.
They all fell, defeated.
Anis felt exhilarated after the fight, her chest puffed with pride as she regained the confidence she had lost from the special forces.
It still felt great to crush the weak!
Sin, knowing the battle was lost, quickly turned and fled, boarding the pre-prepared aircraft.
"Not good, she's trying to escape!"
Anis immediately noticed Sin fleeing, raising her hand to fire a grenade launcher.
Rapi, without hesitation, gave chase, shooting as she ran.
"Stop right there, or I'll shoot to kill!"
However, the aircraft had an energy shield, and the bullets and grenades only exploded into colorful fireworks when they hit the shield. Although it cracked, it wasn't enough to bring the aircraft down immediately.
"Hmph, idiots, you'll never catch me."
Sin, in the aircraft, sneered at those chasing her below, her gaze shifting to Mo Chen as she arrogantly said, "Tsk, tsk, Commander, you're really interesting. I'm growing more and more curious about you."
"What a shame this time. But I'll be back. You'd better be careful, don't sleep too deeply."
"There won't be a next time."
A sudden voice came from below. It was Mo Chen!
Mo Chen stretched out his hand toward her.
For some reason, Sin suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of danger.
Instinctively, she tried to flee.
Before she could even get the aircraft to move away…
Slap—!
A crisp sound rang out.
Sin felt as though she had been slapped hard across the face, her head buzzing as the world spun.
The aircraft, like a drunken fly, began spinning wildly before crashing to the ground!
Boom—!
A violent explosion erupted!
Still trying to run?
Mo Chen flexed his wrist and snorted coldly.
"You're in too much of a hurry to leave so soon."
It was Mo Chen's ability—Slap!
Ignoring distance and defense, it dealt heavy psychological damage to the enemy.
The aircraft crashed, burned and exploded.
Yet Sin still wasn't dead. She was attempting to crawl out from the wreckage.
Her tenacity was remarkable.
However, her body was covered in cuts and bruises, her clothes torn, with multiple broken bones and burn marks, indicating severe injuries.
She wouldn't be escaping now.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Mo Chen was about to finish cleaning up the mess.
Boom—!
A massive explosion suddenly went off!
The explosion was so sudden.
Not only were Rapi and Anis sent flying by the shockwave, but even Mo Chen, who was much farther away, was affected.
Auto-Evasion!
In the face of danger, Mo Chen's body turned into a shadow, blinking a few times, and appearing ten meters away.
However, the aftershock followed closely.
Bang—!
Mo Chen felt himself flying through the air like a kite with its string cut, and then crashing to the ground like a ragged doll.
Fortunately, the Auto-dodge chip activated again, and just before hitting the ground, he became a shadow, landing safely without a serious fall.
Even so, his body was in agony, feeling as though it had fallen apart.
Who did this?!
Mo Chen was furious! But he also broke out in a cold sweat.
"Long live firepower! Firepower is the best! Firepower forever..."
With a triumphant slogan, Neon made a dramatic entrance, looking quite excited. Seeing Mo Chen covered in dirt and disheveled, she was immediately shocked.
"Master, what happened to you, Master?!"
She rushed over to help.
"Who did this to you?"
"Who do you think?!"
Mo Chen's words were practically forced out through clenched teeth.
His face was dark with fury, and he was about to expel Neon from the squad.
"Traitor! Disgracing your teacher!"
Seeing him glaring at her, Neon froze for a moment. Suddenly, she remembered the high-explosive grenade she had just thrown and gulped, her confidence faltering.
"Neon..." Mo Chen's voice was low.
"Uh, yes, Master?" Neon replied nervously.
"Do you think your master has lived long enough?"
"No, no! Of course not!"
"Then why did you blow me up?"
Luckily, Mo Chen had been far enough from the explosion to only be affected by the shockwave. He wasn't even scratched.
But of course, being covered in dirt and debris was inevitable.
Mo Chen gave Neon an earful, unloading his fury without holding back.
Neon was too ashamed to look up.
