Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 48 Blood and Fire
For a moment, Kenge was stunned.

But then he realized that it was just a joke.

A terrifying sense of crisis surged from his heart, making it difficult for Kenge, who had undergone an "emotion and sensory" enhanced control surgery, to completely suppress his emotional fluctuations and maintain his composure.

Why the hell hasn't the armed rescue team come yet?!
I am a gold-level annual member of this service. Once my physical condition falls into a critical stage, theoretically the other party's shuttle should arrive within fifteen minutes, eliminate the dangerous targets around me, and send me for treatment - now five minutes have passed!
No, we have to delay it for a while longer.

Kenge's mind was racing.

Or you can directly provoke the other party and bet on whether the other party has mature experience in killing.

I bet he doesn't know what kind of medical technology the name [Emerald Pharmaceuticals] means.

As long as this guy didn't cut off his head directly, even if he minced his heart into minced meat, destroyed most of his organs, and cut off his legs - he could still hold on for a while with the help of implants and past human enhancement surgeries.

This guy would not dare to stay for too long after attacking him, and would definitely leave soon. As long as he pretended to be dead and stayed alive until the "armed rescue team" arrived, with his identity and the medical funds pre-deposited in his account, Jade Pharmaceutical would definitely be able to save him!
Even if I become a person who needs frequent and expensive medical maintenance surgeries and most of my body is not original, what does it matter as long as I can survive?
It's just "not worth mentioning".

But the next moment, looking at the single-molecule knife in the opponent's hand, Kenge was shocked and gave up the idea.

——It’s too risky.

Moreover, this guy's performance
Kenge had to admit that he didn't dare to gamble.

“——Wait a minute!”

Enduring the increasingly severe pain, Kenge panted and said, "I understand what you mean. You don't want to cooperate, right? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Then we can make a deal."

"Yes, that's right. We can trade."

The man took a deep breath, suppressed the strong dizziness caused by excessive blood loss, and reluctantly raised his index finger: "I can provide you with 500,000 credit points. Don't worry, I will use the anonymous savings card channel. At the same time, I can cover up your file information so that Jade Pharmaceutical will not be aware of your existence, so that you will no longer pose a threat."

"But if you kill me here, Emerald Pharmaceuticals will never let you go. I am the director of the third research department of Palose Mind Psychiatry, and my position level is M6 - you will face the revenge of Emerald Pharmaceuticals!"

The level of M6 is "senior expert" or "mid-level department manager", which is definitely a high position.

"Emerald Pharmaceuticals, revenge?"

Under Kenge's astonished eyes, the person in front of him slowly repeated it.

Then Song Shi raised his head and suddenly laughed: "Ha! The revenge of a giant enterprise sounds scary! You really scared me to death!"

"you--!"

Looking at this scene, Kenge was startled at first, then suddenly thought of something and his expression changed drastically: "You are from another company?! Ksim Comprehensive Medical Care Insurance? Dark Crystal Credit? Or -"

Only a company can fight against another company, and only people who rely on a company can be fearless of retaliation from another company.

And in the eyes of [Emerald Pharmaceuticals], only other giant companies are considered real "opponents"!
The other party's fearless attitude can only be explained by "company background" - yes, that's right, there is only this explanation.

But then, Kenge muttered, falling into even greater confusion.

After "Song Shi" successfully escaped, he reviewed the other party's files again. No matter how he analyzed and verified them, he could not find any trace of forgery. In the first eighteen years of his life, the man named "Song Shi" was indeed just an orphan placed in a resettlement position by the United Government.

How could such a person be involved in the company?
Or did all this just happen in the past few days? Yes - it is very likely that given the other party's talent, there must be no shortage of companies offering olive branches.

But that's not right. I kept the news secret so no one would know about it.
"——You found the company yourself?"

Kenge looked up sharply, incredulous.

".Alas." Song Shi was silent for a moment.

"No matter how many times, in the eyes of you people, there will always be only the company. There is no need to deny it. Your mental activities are clearly visible on your face."

Song Shi shook his head: "Forget it, the time is almost up. If we delay any longer, something might really happen."

Looking at the young man who stood up, an unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart. Kenge was shocked and immediately shouted loudly: "Wait a minute! We don't have to--"

Grip the handle tightly with your right hand and hold the sword across your chest.

He opened his left hand, and clasped the matte black, extremely smooth blade with five fingers. The extremely sharp single-molecule blade easily cut through flesh and blood, and from the five tightly clasped fingers that slowly slid along the blade, the bright red blood silently flowed out until the entire single-blade was soaked.

The next moment, a red-gold flame silently ignited from the winding bloodstain, lingering around the entire blade. The bright flames looked particularly eye-catching on the highway under the night sky.

"Forget about your last words. I don't really want to hear them."

Looking at the young man holding the red-gold fire knife and looking down at him, Kenge's expression changed wildly. At a certain moment, thinking back to the information he had read in the past, he finally realized something.

"This is a ritual for you psychics. You want to use me for the ritual?!"

The burning sensation in his heart became more and more scorching, as if all the blood in his body began to boil, and [Blood and Fire] urged Song Shi to kill the person in front of him.

But Song Shi remained unmoved.

He just shook the fire blade and slowly raised it.

"—No, stop! We can talk some more!"

Kenge tried his best to open his eyes wide, and almost shouted: "I am the director of the M6-level research institute! I can provide you with resources! Anything! What do you want? Money? Implants?"

"I can sign the contract right now! I'll use the supervision service of Dark Crystal Credit! I can absolutely guarantee the enforceability of the contract! You don't need to worry about me deceiving you!"

Watching the opponent getting closer and closer, regardless of the various injuries on his body, Kenge gasped and struggled desperately to move, leaving a winding trail of blood on the road: "No, I can't die here. Song Shi! Song Shi! Can we really--"

"one question."

Song Shi suddenly spoke:
"Do you remember how many "volunteers" your research institute has recruited in the past three months?"

Hearing this question, Kenge was stunned for a moment.

Vidani was in charge of the approval of the volunteers. I was only responsible for the experiments and research. How could I know these things?
So Song Shi sighed.

Kenge wanted to say something more.

But he had no chance.

The red-gold fire knife pierced into Kenge's chest in an instant, and it seemed as if endless flames surged out and completely engulfed Kenge.

"—I keep my oath."

"At this moment, I will burn the enemies of this body with fire."

Song Shi stood holding the knife, letting the blood flow from the gaps between his fingers. He stood with his head held high and roared loudly:
"I offer the blood of my enemies, I sacrifice the spirits of my enemies - the stars are at the end, the great source is above, please witness this!"

The burning sensation that had been lingering in his heart became extremely intense at this moment, like boiling molten lava, as if it was going to burn Song Shi to ashes.

Kenge was speechless.

Red-gold flames gushed out from his pupils and mouth. He let out an unrecognizable hoarse roar and raised his trembling, charred and bony right hand, as if trying to grab the opponent who was so close.

"Vidani, she's your student, right?"

Kenge's movements paused for a moment.

"Then just close your eyes - I'll send her to see you in person!"

So, amidst Song Shi's loud laughter, Kenge let out a final roar and lunged forward with all his might, but at the moment he lunged forward, most of his body completely collapsed and turned into ashes that flew all over the sky.

——Ritual: [Blood and Fire].

Before the ninth sunrise.

Vow fulfilled!
