Fantasy Game: Infinite City

On the first floor of the underground parking lot of the abandoned Skåneland Shopping Center, in front of a pile of construction waste and debris.

Hammond successfully entered the first floor of the underground parking lot without attracting the attention of the pursuers. According to the information he had received from the boss Led, another support team was on the way. What he had to do now was to find the maintenance passage in the underground parking lot area, and enter the underground waterway in the city through the entrance connected to the sewer facilities in the maintenance passage, and then enter the abandoned subway tunnel through the underground waterway, where the support team would meet him.

However, the maintenance passage in the underground parking area is not on this floor, but on the second underground floor. The stairwell leading to the lower floor has collapsed due to years of disrepair, and the elevator shaft has accumulated a lot of wall debris that fell from the top of the elevator shaft. It is also a dead end. The only way left to go to the next floor is the ramp for cars, which is blocked by the pile of construction waste and debris.

"Oh shit!"

Fortunately, the ramp was not completely blocked. As long as he could clear enough space for himself to pass, Hammond would be able to successfully go down to the lower level, find the maintenance passage and leave. So although Hammond kept cursing under his breath, his hands were still constantly digging and throwing away the picked up construction waste.

A warm breeze blew past Hammond, causing him to immediately draw his weapon and turn around. However, there was nothing around except for some gray mist, which was probably caused by the dust raised by the transportation of building debris.

Hammond relaxed temporarily, but to be on the safe side, he released an illusion in the opposite direction, then turned back to clear the construction debris blocking the entrance to the ramp.

More than ten minutes later, Hammond successfully cleared a gap that was big enough for him to squeeze in sideways, but there was still a little bit of a gap. A large piece of concrete debris blocked the back of the gap. The concrete was very strong and was stuck in front and on the sides of other building debris. It would be difficult to remove it by brute force, not to mention that the gap cleared did not allow Hammond to find the correct angle of force.

Hammond thought that he could use something like a grenade to blow up the larger concrete slab. As long as he could stagger the position, Hammond could move the fragments behind little by little, thus completely opening the passage. Thinking of this, Hammond immediately reached out to his body. After all, he had snatched several belts from the soldiers of the "Night Owl" organization before, and he was still wearing one.

"Damn it! I should have left one!"

But now, there were only one or two flashbangs left on Hammond's chest belt. He had used up all the grenades he had grabbed before when he was trying to get rid of the pursuers. And those flashbangs could not possibly shatter the concrete slabs. Hammond was thinking, and just as he was struggling to decide whether to go back and grab a few more grenades or explosives from the soldiers, there was a sudden noise from the security door on the first floor of the shopping center above the stairwell. It was the sound of someone pushing the security door open. Because no one was managing this abandoned shopping center, the dry friction sound from the hinges of the security door was very clear.

"Those women again? Damn it!"

Hammond actually didn't know who was above, but whether it was those women or the soldiers chasing him, they were all troubles for Hammond, so for safety's sake, Hammond hid first. Not long after, Hammond, who was hiding in the dark, saw several figures, quietly moving towards the location of the illusion he had just thrown out.

"Qiang!"

"fake."

The samurai sword slashed across Hammond's neck, and the sound of "Hammond" disappeared immediately. Without the obstruction of the collision, the sharp samurai sword left a crack on the concrete pillar next to it, making a sound of metal collision.

Yukiko, Chizuru, and Saki, using the combined abilities of Yukiko and Chizuru, tracked the location of the underground parking lot. Although they knew that the other party had the ability of illusions that could cut off tracking, the three of them still couldn't let their guard down, as they never knew if the person using the illusion would pretend to be an illusion and deceive them.

"It should be here. It seems that before we came here, the deputy tried to destroy the obstacles in front of the ramp. So the secret exit should be on the lower floor."

Chizuru discovered that in front of the blocked ramp, there was a gap that was large enough for a person to pass through sideways. Combined with the scattered stones and construction waste nearby, as well as the difficult-to-destroy concrete blocks behind the gap, Chizuru concluded that the deputy did not run away, but was still on this floor.

"Chizuru, seal the road."

"it is good."

Yukiko stood in front of Chizuru and blocked him, while the latter released the frost spell and blocked the gap that Hammond had worked so hard to clear with a thick ice wall. However, in the process of sealing the gap, the dust around seemed to float up due to the change of temperature in the air, which made the air around a little turbid. However, there was indeed a lot of gravel and dust on the ground, so Chizuru did not care about the large cloud of gray fog that formed briefly around him.

"All right!"

"right!"

Chizuru had just sealed the gap in front of the ramp and was talking to Yukiko when Saki suddenly rushed to the right side of the three of them and released an Iai Slash towards the dim front. The wind pressure caused by the sword energy of the Iai Slash exposed the figure of a person, who was Hammond who launched the ambush.

"Shet!"

Hammond's attack failed, and he immediately rolled backwards to avoid the sword energy. At the same time, Hammond suddenly spread his palms to both sides. Then a large number of identical phantoms that were completely indistinguishable from Hammond appeared around him and attacked Yukiko, Chizuru and Saki at the same time.

Although the attack power of these phantoms is not high, they have a large number and the cooperation between the phantoms is very skillful. Each of the three people in the assassination team was besieged by no less than five phantoms. Saki, who is good at close combat, and Yukiko, who is known for her agility, were fine. However, Chizuru, who mainly uses long-range attacks, was a little weak under the siege of many phantoms, and was accidentally cut by the sabers in the hands of the phantoms.

In the distance, an illusion that was constantly flashing with faint light rushed towards the slightly injured Chizuru. After reaching a certain distance, it suddenly pounced on Chizuru. The illusion suddenly dissipated the moment it touched Chizuru. Chizuru felt that her steps suddenly slowed down as if she was stuck in a quagmire. She mobilized her energy and released a Frost Nova to shake off the illusions around her. She looked down and found that some thin rock shells had begun to appear at the position of her legs and were continuing to spread.

"Petrified! Don't get touched by those flickering illusions!"

When Yukiko heard the news, she immediately summoned black fog to slow down the speed of the phantom siege. At the same time, she escaped into the shadows. When the phantoms broke free from the black fog, they found that they were all standing in an oval shadow.

"throat!!"

The oval shadow suddenly rose two or three meters, and a shadow beast head without facial features, only a bloody mouth with four rows of sharp fangs, jumped out from the oval shadow. As the bloody mouth closed again, all the illusions that besieged Yukiko died in the shadow beast's mouth and disappeared. After completing the attack, the shadow beast quickly returned to its original state, and Yukiko's figure appeared again from the shadow.

Saki slowed down the frequency of her attacks and deliberately exposed a flaw. Sure enough, two flickering phantoms appeared around her and rushed towards Saki. Saki immediately slid back, creating some distance between herself and the phantoms that were besieging her. She lowered her body and sheathed her sword. She seized the opportunity, gripped the hilt backwards and swung it forward. Then dozens of sword lights lit up in the dim environment. Saki swung the blade, sheathed it, and all the phantoms were destroyed.

"How's it going Chizuru?"

"It's okay. The explosion of the Frost Nova offset the petrification."

At the moment when Chizuru and Saki were talking, several phantoms rushed towards the three people from all directions. The three people immediately took a stance to prepare for the enemy, but the moment they attacked, the phantoms disappeared on their own. Then, on the side of Saki and Yukiko, the real Hammond rushed out, and it seemed that he was going to attack Chizuru, who was the least good at close combat. However, just when Chizuru released the frost armor to prepare for defense, Hammond suddenly split into two, and the other Hammond immediately changed the direction of attack, and threw the saber in his hand towards Saki, who had no time to raise the sword to block.

"Boom!"

Fortunately, Yukiko reacted quickly enough, and a shadow beast appeared between Saki and Hammond, blocking Hammond's attack for Saki. However, Hammond's attack was very powerful, and although it did not cause complete damage, it still left a wound on Saki's shoulder.

"Right front!"

Hammond jumped back and re-entered the shadows, and then a strong desire to attack emerged from the front right. Chizuru immediately clapped her hands on the ground, and a solid ice shield appeared around the three of them, protecting them inside. Then, a large number of bullets shot from all directions and hit the ice shield.

The power of these shots was not great, but their number was large. Chizuru could even see clearly that not all bullets had the same strength. Most of them were relatively light. Only at a position diagonally behind them, the strength of the bullets was normal. The one attacking from that direction should be Hammond's real body. After knowing this news, Chizuru immediately told Yukiko and Saki.

"Ok!"

Yukiko and Saki looked at each other, and Yukiko pointed a hand at Saki, who was immediately swallowed by the shadow beast that emerged from the ground and sank into the shadow on the ground. The next second, the shadow beast appeared from the position where Chizuru had discovered it, opened its big mouth, and a net composed of dense knife lights shot out from the shadow beast's mouth. With a painful groan, Saki's attack successfully hit Hammond and knocked him to the ground. Saki took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, loading the blade on Hammond's neck, and the surrounding attacking illusions also stopped moving immediately.

"you lose!"

Chizuru and Yukiko also came over. They successfully controlled Hammond and prepared to start questioning him. However, due to the dim environment, the three of them did not notice that Hammond, who was lying on the ground, had one hand quietly reaching behind his waist.

"Okay, okay, I lost... I lost a shit!!"

"not good!!"

Hammond suddenly threw something in front of the three people. It was a flash bomb with the safety pin already popped out. Saki immediately turned his head and slashed down with the samurai sword in his hand, ready to kill Hammond directly, but Hammond immediately used an illusion to replace him and moved backwards, avoiding Saki's attack without any danger. Then he closed his eyelids and covered his eyes, and crawled backwards in embarrassment.

"boom!"

As the flash bomb exploded, the intense flash and sound produced at close range caused Chizuru and Saki, who had no time to dodge, to temporarily lose their vision and hearing. Fortunately, Yukiko used the black mist to cover her face in time and did not lose her vision, but her hearing was still damaged. She insisted on looking in the direction of Hammond and found that Hammond suddenly stopped facing her. Yukiko immediately released the shadow beast towards Hammond's position. However, the moment the shadow beast appeared, Hammond flew to the side with a smile of success on his face.

"boom!"

"Damn it!"

The shadow beast was attached to an obstacle, stirring up a large amount of dust. Saki, whose vision had not yet fully recovered, was helped up by Chizuru, who was also dizzy. Seeing Yukiko's actions, Chizuru hurriedly threw two ice spikes towards the location where the shadow beast attacked, but because her condition had not fully recovered, her accuracy was not very high. The two ice spikes did not hit Hammond next to him, but pierced the wall.
