Jiang Shu ducked behind cover, using the footage returned by Xiao Yi to observe the situation outside.
A one-way hail of gunfire surged like a tide toward the chanical disciples outside the corridor’s defense line, but without exception, all the bullets were intercepted by a transparent shield a ter in front of the chanical disciples.
It was just like a commonly seen scene in movies, where high-speed bullets could only hit the transparent shield, creating ripples like those on water before disappearing without a trace as if they had entered water.
And behind the glass barrier, the chanical disciples just stood there, staring at the officers behind the cover with stagnant eyes, as if they were waiting for sothing, but doing nothing else.
"Kirie, what’s going on? Is this so kind of black tech?" Jiang Shu pointed to the transparent shield and asked Kirie, who was lying beside him.
"I don’t know." Kirie silently watched the footage on the screen of the small armor and did not say much, only giving Jiang Shu a aningful glance.
Jiang Shu: "???"
"Glass Fortress?" At that mont, Wolf suddenly interjected with a question, "Doesn’t this thing resemble the ’Glass Fortress’ showcased by the Deception Group before?"
"It rely resembles it," replied Jiang Shu, who had also seen that performance video. In the video, the Glass Fortress withstood the blast wave of an explosion, while at this mont, the transparent shield simply swallowed the bullets.
"Indeed, this thing..." Wolf hesitated for a mont, then suddenly looked toward Kirie, "See, I told you there’s a Dinsion Gate, and you didn’t believe !"
"..." Kirie gave him a flat look and abnormally said nothing.
Because she suspected witchcraft.
That’s right, the Deception Group and such were definitely another witchcraft organization hostile to Lord Jiang.
Therefore, she said nothing about the shield; she just wanted to let Jiang Shu take the lead.
There? I’m waiting for your deception.
However, much to Kirie’s disappointnt, Jiang Shu also looked just as curious, not fabricating a scientific explanation for the phenonon.
Could it be that he couldn’t think of a good enough story to fool Wolf?
That shouldn’t be the case; when it ca to Wolf... wouldn’t he believe anything Jiang Shu said?
If she stepped in to help maintain the deception...
There would be absolutely no problem at all.
"Why would chanical disciples appear here? Didn’t Tang Hexun say that the chanical disciples had been wiped out?" Wolf was quite puzzled, as these chanical disciples always seed to trouble their Seventh District.
"Wiped out? Tell , what’s going on?" Although he had been part of it, Jiang Shu first heard about this from Wolf and wanted to know how much the police knew of the insider’s story.
Anyway, there was no way they could suspect him.
After all, he had been using the Paper Card Technique to repeatedly travel between the Seventh and Thirteen Districts, how could a normal person make the trip between these two districts in a few hours? And he had also been very careful to avoid being recognized by any person or cara.
"Tang Hexun didn’t ntion the specifics, but according to so of the information records, it seems there was an internal conflict among the chanical disciples. A huge amount of explosives was detonated on-site, blasting all the disciples to pieces. They found the corpses on-site, including the remains of the Disciple Leader and Black Shark," Wolf responded, then hesitated a bit before concluding, "No one survived."
"Everyone died? No winners in the infighting?" Jiang Shu followed up with a question.
"Yes, but we suspect the involvent of a third party," Wolf nodded and replied, "So of the bodies on-site exhibited signs of being constricted and strangled. It’s inferred that it was done by a python with a length between six to nine ters. They found scrape marks on tal walls at the scene, but there was no shedding of skin scales or debris, so they surmise the python’s skin was extrely tough."
"Python?"
"Yes, python, it’s very puzzling," Wolf shook his head, "And the snake’s strength is much greater than that of wild pythons of the sa size. The official explanation from the Thirteen District is that it’s a chanically-created python. We’ve seen chanical creatures used as weapons before. But as for a python, it’s even more perplexing why they didn’t create smaller snakes to use their venom instead?"
"Maybe it’s because... a substantial part of the chanical disciples’ bodies are chanical, making it not so easy to inject venom?" Jiang Shu offered a possible answer.
"Perhaps, that’s the only way we can see it," shrugged Wolf, conceding the point, "But if that’s the case, it seems like this python was naturally ant to strangle those implanted with Internal Armor."
"Who knows," shrugged Jiang Shu.
Anyway, he was very clear that, given the Xiu Snake’s body structure and the unique ambush trait of snakes, once it focused on a target...
The outco would be frightful.
It was just unknown, the combat power that the "Tiānshū" external Armor he had seen in the Thirteen District could muster against the Xiu Snake.
Kirie, who was standing aside, also looked blankly at Jiang Shu. She normally didn’t care too much about police station affairs, let alone those of the Thirteen District Police Station, so she only knew the chanical disciples were gone and was not aware of the python.
Now hearing Wolf ntion it...
Python? Six to nine ters? Does it also have large claws?
This topic was familiar!
It had to be that monster that was taken to heaven, right?
