The clicking noise was the sound of the door opening.
"I have a question for you." Nanzhi said as she controlled the guns from a distance.
She wasn’t sure if what sort of trump cards this person has or are there any traps in here.
It’s better to be careful.
Chu Muwen’s blood ran cold and beads of sweat rolled from his scalp. He could feel a particular killing intent emanating from behind him.
His grip was on the sniper rifle trembled and his eyes flickered with red glint. He quickly turned around and aimed the sniper rifle to Nanzhi’s direction.
But he was stunned to see the floating guns for a moment hovering in front of his face.
Dang!
A Metal-based Awakener!
Nanzhi didn’t stay idle and pulled all the triggers before Chu Muwen could react, all aiming to incapacitate him.
Chu Muwen gnashed his teeth and the air in front of him rippled.
He wasn’t going to use this so early but there was no choice!
The bullets from Nanzhi’s handguns stopped a feet away from him before falling on the floor. In that brief moment, Nanzhi noticed the bullets hit a transparent film.
A barrier?
Is her first thought.
"Seeing you’re a little bit surprised, perhaps you don’t know this kind of thing!" Chu Muwen grinned with complacency as if victory was in sight.
Bang…
But the images of Nanzhi getting hit by his sniper’s bullet didn’t come into fruition because the ceiling was hit instead.
"Ah!" Chu Muwen grunted as his left cheek was grazed by the bullet. It was hot and stinging from pain.
In the last moment, the curtains behind wrapped around his neck and the rest of his body and turned him into a mummy.
His hold of sniper rifle loosened just before he pulled the trigger.
If not for him tossing his head back in the nick of time, his jaw would be pierced instead.
"Aren’t you a Metal-based Awakener?!" Chu Muwen was shocked.
Nanzhi had a knowing look as if she discovered something interesting, "So it’s not entirely powerful." She can still influence the things inside the barrier, just not the things he was holding, for instance, the sniper rifle.
But what kind of power is that barrier just now?
System?
She asked in her mind.
[It’s probably a system reward just like the serum.]
Yu Baoyin said before that when one used mental power there would be this faint electrical pulses that both awakeners would feel if their power clashes but Nanzhi hadn’t felt anything at all.
But to think this guy knew about Mental Power.
A knife appeared in Chu Muwen’s hand.
He tore all the curtains and was about to seize the rifle but it moved and was flung towards his opponents’ feet before it disappeared.
Chu Muwen’s eyes became grim.
