Chapter 834 BOSS Assault
"If the world really is going to end, I would like to listen to music and give myself a curly hair." Gin said calmly.
"What a great ideal, you were doing it before." Martin patted Gin's shoulder and said, "It's a pity that I can't grant you leave now. Once the organization is dealt with, you can do whatever you want... If the great detective, cousin, and apprentice want to arrest you, that's their business. I won't interfere. Now, continue talking."
an hour ago...
When Gin stepped into his hiding place, he found that an uninvited guest had broken in.
Discovered again? Gin immediately became alert and picked up the gun and the long sword with both hands.
As for the transformation, it has never been lifted during this period of time.
Not long ago, his hunting relationship with the organization's boss had been reversed. Initially, after transforming, he was invulnerable to swords and guns and had infinite power, so he chased the boss all over the world. However, the boss actually redeveloped some power while being chased. Now, the situation has become that the boss's new minions are actively tracking his whereabouts, and once they are found, they will launch a crazy attack.
Even bombs or machine guns cannot hurt Gin at all, but the purpose of these is not to hurt Gin, but to make as much noise as possible. This is London, and their purpose is to attract the attention of the government and expose Gin to the official's vision.
However, it was not the BOSS's minions who found him this time.
"Hey, long time no see, is that okay?" Inside Gin's hiding place, a man with black cat ears on his head greeted him lazily, as if they were friends who hadn't seen him for years. A long black tail waved towards Gin instead of his arm.
There were no stools or beds in Gin's hiding place, only an old sofa bought from a second-hand market. The cat-eared man lay leisurely on his sofa, resting his head on the thigh of the woman next to him. When he looked up, he saw a face that Gin could recognize even if it turned into ashes, Shirley.
Gin suddenly realized who the intruder was.
"Long time no see..." Gin paused when asked the question of address.
Gin used to call Martin a fake, but now in a sense Martin is his new boss. It's not a big deal to call him a fake, but it's hard to call him boss.
In the end, he still used the old joke from the main god space period: "...Master."
"I'm astonished that you still remember me as your master." Martin said sarcastically, "As far as I can remember, I only gave you one task. Why haven't you completed it yet?"
Martin suspected that Gin was afraid that he would be abandoned, so he deliberately fought with the BOSS and played the game of keeping the enemy at bay.
Gin calmly recounted his experiences and many representative encounters, how many times the BOSS had suddenly disappeared in front of him, how many times he had fallen into traps that inflicted many negative states and mental illusions on him, and how many times he had already beheaded the BOSS, but soon discovered traces of the BOSS's activities in the process of clearing out its remnants.
While Gin was talking, Martin was distracted by chatting in the group chat on his phone. After announcing "the end of the world" in the group, he set the scene mode of his phone to conference mode and rejected all incoming calls.
Because of Conan, Xiaolan, Sonoko and others, most of the group members immediately started calling him to get the answer.
……
"If what you said is true, the number of this prop is indeed unexpected." Martin pondered for a moment: "It is even now distributed to the subordinates for use... Maybe only Vermouth."
Back then in the main god space, the organization's BOSS was definitely a newcomer. The novice mission to capture Long You alive was submitted by Martin's team. If the team the BOSS was in failed in the mission, points would be deducted. Unless the BOSS killed a large number of zombies, the points would only be negative and could not buy anything.
"Even if it was sent by a senior member of the team, there's no reason to send so much. That guy must have just taken advantage of the senior member. Did the senior member of that team die as soon as he landed?"
"...Forget it, there's no point in thinking so much." Martin took out his watch and put it on his wrist under Gin's slightly jealous gaze, improving his level of control over his superpowers.
As for the current location of the BOSS, Gin could only guess at an urban area, and it would be difficult for him to approach that area while avoiding the BOSS's eyes and ears.
However, after knowing the approximate range, Martin, who can control his abilities, can communicate with the world and query the information of everyone within this range. Although the boss has changed his name, borrowed someone else's identity, and changed his appearance with the props of the main god space, Martin found a 140-year-old old man in the crowd at a glance, who can live longer than Elizabeth.
"Go." Martin snapped his fingers, and then the three of them, along with the old sofa under Martin and Miyano Shiho, suddenly appeared in an unfamiliar corridor.
In front of them, in front of the index finger that Martin extended after snapping his fingers, was a walnut door with a gilded copper ball door handle.
Martin did not appear directly in front of the BOSS because he wanted to retain some sense of ceremony of his sudden appearance.
The magical girl Gin in a little skirt had already understood what he meant. She drew out the long sword that she had exchanged in the main god space. Driven by her extremely strong physical fitness, the trajectory of the slash was so fast that even Martin, the cat whose reaction speed far exceeded that of humans, could not see it clearly. She had already shattered all the obstacles in front of her.
Martin, who was still lying on the sofa, seized the opportunity and shouted, "FBI, Open the door!"
Door? The entire wall in front of him was cut into hundreds of small geometric blocks by Gin, which scattered in all directions at the moment when Gin's action was frozen. The gradually widening cracks between the stones revealed the scene inside the door to the audience.
"Be careful!" Gin suddenly reminded.
A streak of blood-red seeped out from the other side of the wall and quickly expanded and spread. In a short moment, the three of them were enveloped in blood-red. Whether it was the walls or the floor, the furniture or the sky, everything in sight was blood-red. The pungent smell of blood hit them in the face. If it was yesterday's vampire Martin, he would probably be extremely excited now.
"This is an illusion prop!" Gin shouted to remind them, but the senses of the three people who had entered the range of the prop had been separated from each other at this time, and the other two could not hear Gin's reminder.
The status refreshed ten times a second, allowing Martin to quickly get rid of the interference of the illusion. What was reflected in the vertical cat's eye at this time was a back figure running towards the window.
As soon as there was the slightest movement, he would immediately use props to delay time, then turn around and run away without any reluctance, probably without even seeing the identity of the person who came in.
Martin got off the sofa, leaving behind a shadow and running towards the boss. After he got the point-adding watch, he only used it to increase his control over superpowers. This time, he tried a way to save points much more than before, simply increasing basic attributes such as physical strength, power, and agility, and turned from a cat-man who was only slightly stronger than humans into a superhero-level figure.
Even the degree of beastification can be adjusted. After the adjustment, Martin's original human hand became a cat's claw with a dagger-like claw tip, or it would be more appropriate to think of it as a tiger's claw. However, when the sharp claw was about to penetrate the back of the BOSS, the entire figure of the BOSS suddenly disappeared, leaving only a hollow bubble.
Martin didn't panic at all. He slapped the floor with one claw, and increased his weight by three tons. The floor beneath his feet shattered, and the boss, who had used the teleportation item, reappeared below. Then the boss disappeared again, and Martin smashed another floor to find the boss. Now he was on the 'ground floor'.
Gin had already gotten rid of the blood-red illusion on his own, and stepped forward with a knife in hand, ready to kill.
The BOSS turned around to face Gin, and then a layer of orange-red light appeared on his body, obviously activating some kind of prop.
Martin waved his hand and grasped the void. The BOSS's figure instantly turned into a half-grown corgi. The orange-red light also dissipated into the air. Then he chopped off the dog's head with a knife, smoothly and silkily.
However, the dog corpse disappeared into thin air before it hit the ground. The boss had been on guard against Martin's ability and had made a setting that allowed him to be activated smoothly even if his body was forcibly transformed.
On the two floors above, on the still intact floor, a figure suddenly appeared. He looked around with a fleeting look of confusion.
There was a sound of a sharp blade piercing through flesh and blood. The boss with a dagger stuck in his back turned around and found a woman standing behind him. Her face was not fierce but confused. Her right hand was still holding a dagger, as if she didn't know why she was here.
But he knew this woman, Shirley, who used to be a researcher in the organization, and Miyano Shiho, the youngest daughter of Miyano Atsushi and Miyano Elena.
Martin and Gin jumped up from downstairs, and the three of them surrounded the BOSS from the front and back.
"This should be the first time I used the item just now." During the brief break in the raid, the BOSS said his first words.
Boom! Explosions sounded, and the floor beneath their feet was also shaking slightly - more accurately, shaking. The boss's new subordinates had already followed his instructions. If there was any disturbance and they could not contact him, they would immediately detonate an explosion within the designated range.
"Retrace the user back to three minutes ago." Martin said leisurely, "You didn't use it, but it wasn't the first time for others to use it."
Backtracking can be initiated regardless of the target's state, whether it is dead or alive. Even if Martin turns you into a dog, you can use it to turn yourself back into a dog.
Vermouth, who appeared on the wall of Dr. Agasa's house, used this prop to escape from the watermelon rain. By observing the video later, it was found that she deliberately watched on the wall for three minutes before sneaking in, and through Moss's frame-by-frame comparison, Vermouth's movements after the flash were exactly the same as those three minutes ago.
There is reason but no evidence to suspect that Vermouth knew about the existence of the camera and deliberately came to demonstrate the effect of this prop to her eldest son Conan.
With Vermouth's leak, Martin naturally guarded against this prop and asked Miyano Shiho to hold a dagger and stay where the BOSS was three minutes ago.
A shadow appeared in the BOSS's eyes. His items had been almost cracked by Gin, and even his backtracking item had been seen through. He only had one life-saving trump card left.
After obtaining Diablo's property in the main god space, the BOSS immediately classified Diablo's items after returning to the 'main city', and sold all the valuable items used to enhance combat effectiveness. After the points turned from loss to profit, he exchanged them for various items that he thought were meaningful for survival.
Becoming stronger is just a means, his only goal is to be immortal.
Now, there is only one prop worth using.
The BOSS rushed forward, trying to break through Miyano Shiho, but the moment he turned around, he was overtaken by Gin and stabbed through the heart.
Then the BOSS's "corpse" immediately began to shrink, turning into a dry, black and thin thing hanging on the sword, like a tattered and charred puppet.
The effect of the last prop is that after death, a puppet buried in Java Island in advance will grow flesh and blood and grow its own limbs. When the BOSS is resurrected in the new body, the old corpse will turn into a charred puppet.
Naturally, this was the first time that Gin had seen this prop and doll. He immediately swung his knife to cut into many of the surrounding walls, but there was no trace of the BOSS in the empty field of vision.
"He ran away again...I don't know where he will run to this time." Gin said. Although there was no expression on his face, his tone was unwilling.
Seeing that the explosion just now was about to attract the government again, the only option now was to evacuate.
"Run away? I didn't agree to it." Martin picked up the charred puppet from the ground, flicked it with his fingers, and then a backtracking prop appeared in his hand, which he decisively used on the puppet.
The puppet disappeared, and the figure of the boss appeared in the room. There was a stab wound on the back, and blood was spreading on the clothes.
Then Martin snapped his fingers again, refreshing the BOSS's status, but the version used to overwrite was neither the red-haired British man from an hour ago nor the young Black Organization BOSS from a month ago.
But it was forty years ago, a 100-year-old skinny old man who was on the brink of life and death, Karasuma Renya.
Ding ding dang dang, some bits and pieces fell from Karasuma Renya's body. Karasuma Renya's dull and turbid eyes moved down, but was grabbed by the neck and lifted up by Gin.
The things that fell to the ground were props. Martin's ability had different rules for affecting living things than dead things. Now these props no longer had any binding relationship with the centenarian. If he killed Karasuma Renya at this time, neither the Cross of Rebirth nor the Substitute Puppet would be activated again.
Gin turned around and looked at Martin for his opinion.
Martin looked at Miyano Shiho. After learning that Martin was going to attack the BOSS, Miyano Shiho chose to join in, obviously wanting to settle old scores with this person.
"Before we set out, I thought I had a lot of questions to ask him." Realizing that the two men were waiting for her opinion, Miyano Shiho looked at the old man and said, "Looking at his appearance now, I suddenly realized that I don't have anything to ask. I already know the key things; the things I don't know are insignificant; the question about 'why' is ridiculous... If I don't do anything, he will die, and that seems to be a bargain for him."
The status refresh controlled by Martin no longer has the function of healing injuries and diseases. Karasuma Renye is still in the state of a hundred years old and frail, and can't help but tormenting.
