32: A dead end that came to my door

The Mysterious Person seemed to know Cheng Yang like the back of his hand; his previous attack had also precisely targeted Cheng Yang's lungs.

Everything was just as Cheng Yang had guessed.

The monster in front of him was not only powerful but also extremely cautious.

He constantly transformed into monsters to probe Cheng Yang, observe his combat style, and determine his weaknesses.

Only then did he pinpoint Cheng Yang's location, even waiting two days to ensure no surprises before directly attacking the weakness without the slightest hesitation, intending to eliminate him.

During their last encounter, the Mysterious Person had sealed his memories.

He even waited two days, observing for two days, before deciding to attack Cheng Yang.

These two days of waiting were very likely to confirm whether Cheng Yang had companions, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

Thinking of all this, Cheng Yang felt a suffocating sense of oppression.

This guy, this guy!

He wouldn't leave him any room to maneuver!

Breathe, adjust your breathing!

Ignoring the pain in his chest, Cheng Yang struggled to regulate his breathing, a sharp pain radiating from his lungs.

"Do you still want to continue breathing technique?"

"Your ribs have already punctured your lungs; forcing yourself to breathe like this will only enlarge your wound."

The Mysterious Person said, calmly approaching.

It was as if everything was under his control.

"Cough, cough!"

Even if his injuries would worsen, Cheng Yang dared not stop.

If he stopped, he would die!

He needed to transform!

Cheng Yang reached into his Arms with one hand, trying to retrieve his Summoner.

However, the Mysterious Person easily saw through Cheng Yang's movement, quickly approached, and kicked it away.

From the perspective of Minds Eye, Cheng Yang barely managed to catch this kick.

Forcibly activating Basic Breathing Technique, he bent his arm to defend, assuming a parrying stance.

Bang!

With another loud bang, Cheng Yang's arm bone was kicked and bent out of shape, but it didn't break.

The Basic Stance he had diligently practiced during this period had not betrayed Cheng Yang's efforts.

He crashed heavily through the wardrobe, rolling onto the floor, his entire defending arm numb.

"Are you trying to transform with a Summoner?"

"Insert the armor card."

The Mysterious Person continued to approach Cheng Yang, instantly revealing Cheng Yang's intentions.

How could this be!

How could he have found out!

The Mysterious Person was using words to dismantle Cheng Yang's psychological defenses.

Even now, he was still not careless, fearing that Cheng Yang might suddenly pull out some suicidal method to drag him to hell.

After all, how many years had it been?

How many years had their race descended upon and secretly ruled this world?

Never before had there been such a force capable of restraining and fighting against their race.

Therefore, he was extremely vigilant.

Extremely wary of this power.

That's why he constantly transformed into monsters to probe, meticulously planned in secret, and meticulously laid out his pieces, forcing this armor Summoner into an inescapable dead end.

"Are you surprised, afraid?"

The Mysterious Person slowly approached, then raised his foot and heavily stomped on Cheng Yang's arm.

"Ahhh!"

Intense pain shot through his arm, and Cheng Yang's regulated breathing was once again interrupted by the pain.

He gasped for breath, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, the Mysterious Person bent down, and his outstretched hand reached for Cheng Yang's chest.

"No... cough, cough, no!"

Cheng Yang desperately tried to curl up his body, protecting the Summoner.

However, all his efforts were in vain; the Summoner was grabbed by the Mysterious Person's fingers and pulled out of Cheng Yang's chest.

The platinum-gold Summoner shimmered with a golden glow, clutched in the Mysterious Person's palm.

It also illuminated the Mysterious Person's face.

However, surprisingly, this face was not the one Cheng Yang had seen before falling into the reflected world.

"So this is the Summoner that can summon the Light Armor."

"Then, where is the card? Is it still on you?"

The Mysterious Person looked at the Summoner, a satisfied smile on his face, then his gaze fell back on Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang was desperately trying to regulate his breathing at this moment; even with his lung punctured, he didn't stop.

Fortunately, he had seized the time earlier to raise his Basic Breathing Technique to the highest level.

Otherwise, with such severe lung injuries, he wouldn't have been able to continue breathing technique at all.

"Why, why are you so clear about the Summoner?"

Cheng Yang asked.

"Why?"

"Of course, it's the result of your human efforts in research and investigation."

Cheng Yang looked up at the triumphant face of the Mysterious Person before him.

He had a feeling.

As his Summoner was taken away, the monster in front of him seemed to become even more arrogant.

More disdainful, looking down on him.

He exposed information to Cheng Yang without the slightest care, completely losing his previous caution.

According to Cheng Yang's investigation, monsters disguised as humans secretly ruled humanity.

They were filled with arrogance and contempt for humans.

The previous apprehension and caution were entirely directed at him, who possessed the Summoner.

But now that the Summoner was taken, and he had become a mere human again, this monster reverted to its arrogance.

"Investigation, research."

"Is it the Monster Countermeasures Division? Are you lurking within the Monster Countermeasures Division?"

"Or does your status allow you to freely investigate the Monster Countermeasures Division's data?"

Hearing Cheng Yang's questions, the Mysterious Person showed a surprised expression.

He didn't know that Cheng Yang possessed the [Hacker] card, so he was very surprised that Cheng Yang, an ordinary person, could perceive these things.

But his eyes still held disdain and contempt.

"You can actually perceive this point."

"I didn't expect anyone other than those in the Monster Countermeasures Division to awaken."

"No wonder you could become a Summoner."

Having obtained the Summoner, the Mysterious Person was not stingy about conversing with this tiny human.

At this moment, he was already sure of victory, full of pride.

"What do you mean, Monster Countermeasures Division, awakening?"

Cheng Yang desperately tried to buy time and regulate his breathing.

At the same time, he also wanted to seize the opportunity to gain more information.

"Do you know why the Monster Countermeasures Division is a semi-official, semi-civilian organization?"

"Why does the Monster Countermeasures Division deliberately keep its distance from official forces and remain independent?"

The monster's words made Cheng Yang understand immediately.

The Monster Countermeasures Division had also realized that the leadership of humanity in this world might have been replaced and ruled by monsters.

That's why they strove to be independent and maintain their autonomy.

However, it now seemed that the Monster Countermeasures Division was still infiltrated by monsters.

But within the Monster Countermeasures Division, there might be an even more deeply hidden, secret organization.

They were secretly resisting the monsters and researching methods to fight them.

Otherwise, the Monster Countermeasures Division would have long since become a fully official organization, completely ruled.

There, lay humanity's hope.

Even if he died, he must hand over the Summoner...

"Hand over the card."

"I can give you a quick death."

The monster held the Summoner in one hand, extended the other, and a green blade appeared in his left hand, pressing against Cheng Yang's neck.

The sharp edge seemed ready to slice through Cheng Yang's artery at any moment.

Cheng Yang could only pull out a card from his Arms and extend it towards the monster.
