BXBX NOVEL Chapter 319: Dumb B*tch?
Naomi slowly turned to face Mary, her lips curling into a subtle, mocking smirk.
It was as if she were taunting the supposedly unbreakable glass for its fragility.
"!"
Mary\'s face twisted with rage as her eyes flared with rage, "CATCH THIS RAT!" she screamed, the command erupting from deep within her, booming through the chamber.
Her body shook with fury, her composure shattering as visibly as the glass had.
Naomi, undeterred and eerily calm, extended her hand toward the fractured pane once more, her movements deliberate, almost ceremonial.
"UGH!" Mary, clearly at her wit\'s end, suddenly lunged towards Naomi in a desperate attempt to apprehend her before any further damage could be inflicted on the facility.
Whoosh!
Mary\'s hands, outstretched like the claws of a bird of prey, aimed to snatch Naomi.
However, just as they were about to connect, Naomi mysteriously dissolved into a cascade of shinning blue water, effortlessly evading capture.
"HUH? WHERE IS SHE!?" Mary, stunned by the sudden disappearance, spun around in confusion, scanning the area for any sign of Naomi.
Her eyes narrowed as she spotted a stream of water meandering towards the staircase, ascending gracefully.
Without hesitation, Mary transformed into a swirling red mist, her voice echoing through the vast space, "WAIT FOR ME!"
The mist darted towards the facility\'s entrance with remarkable speed, determined to intercept Naomi.
Then, both Mary and Naomi vanished from view, leaving behind only the echo of their confrontation.
"..."
"..."
An eerie silence enveloped the room as everyone present exchanged looks of bewilderment.
Luna, too, seemed lost for words, shocked by the unprecedented display of powers she had just witnessed from Mary.
"...If I were her, I wouldn\'t try to chase that girl," Wang Xiao commented, breaking the deadly silence.
His voice carried a hint of amusement, mixed with a dash of surprise at the drama.
Whoosh!
"Who is she?" The question came almost immediately from all around him. Luna was the first to voice it, her curiosity piqued, her eyes wide with intrigue.
"..."
Wang Xiao gave a slight shrug, his expression one of bemusement.
"I\'m not entirely sure either, but it looks like your senior is in for quite the chase today..." He muttered, a wry smile playing on his lips.
With that, he turned away from the group, his steps leading him deeper into the facility to explore further, leaving the others to ponder the mysterious events they had just witnessed.
______
January 18th, 10 PM!
Base F1D99.
Seated a short distance from the imposing structure of Base F1D99, Wang Xiao found solitude on the frozen, desolate expanse.
Under the cloak of pitch darkness, he absentmindedly snapped small twigs between his fingers, his legs stretched out on the cold, hard ice.
Ka—Boom!
Abruptly, a rumble of thunder shattered the silence, its sound echoing fiercely across the icy plains.
"Hm?"
The sudden flash briefly lit up Wang Xiao\'s contemplative face as he looked up.
The sky, typically adorned with the ethereal dance of Aurora lights, was now completely shrouded by oppressive, dense black clouds.
"So strange... Why does it feel like the end of the world?" Wang Xiao can\'t help but mutter to himself, a trace of wry amusement in his voice as he surveyed the imaginary red flags plaguing their whole journey.
Meanwhile, inside the facility, silhouettes were drawn to the glass windows, their faces pressed against the pane, eyes wide with concern.
They watched the surreal shift in weather with a mix of fascination and unease.
While snowstorms were the norm in this harsh climate, the concept of thunder and rain was almost mythical.
Wang Xiao, feeling a mix of solitude and confusion, can\'t help but ponder his reason for being outside alone.
Mary had returned to the base hours earlier, her expression weary and defeated.
It was clear from her demeanor that she had failed in her pursuit of Naomi, and whatever chase had ensued had left her drained and frustrated.
...
Afterward, when Wang Xiao half-expected the insane witch with the haunting red eyes to confront him, she surprisingly ignored him, vanishing into a deep, shadowy tunnel instead.
Disregarding these creatures unpredictable mood swings, Wang Xiao found himself waiting, his ears straining for any update on Gabriel\'s movements.
While he waited, a wry smile played across his lips; he felt as if he were witnessing his own slow descent into his own downfall—a sensation he strangely enjoyed.
His contemplative mood, filled with a stream of disjointed thoughts, shattered abruptly with a distinct sound.
Crack!
"!"
"Hehe... Didn\'t expect to find you here..."
"!"
"Huh?" Wang Xiao abruptly spun around and rose to his feet, he found himself dwarfed by a looming figure, whose faint shadow seemed to swallow him whole along with the echo of a sinister stinky laugh.
[Hell spirit...] Yin Yue murmured, her tone a blend of curiosity and caution.
Wang Xiao\'s eyes narrowed in sudden caution as he stared up at the behemoth before him.
"Zhao... Yang?" he uttered hesitantly, his gaze locked on the towering figure\'s beardless, oval face, which oddly resembled a potato.
"Yes, I didn\'t expect the boy from this guy\'s memories to survive and meet here!" Zhao Yang\'s voice boomed, yet there was an unexpectedly friendly glint in his eyes as he gazed down at Wang Xiao with a grin that seemed to blur the line between good and evil.
"I hadn\'t thought this one would share the same fate, destined to be taken by another fellow spirit," Zhao Yang continued, his tone laced with a mixture of amusement and irony.
He threw his head back and laughed heartily, the sound echoing ominously around them. "Haha... Two enemies, both now possessed by our kind. Soon the whole world will be ours!"
"..."
Wang Xiao, still processing the sudden and surreal encounter, struggled to find his voice.
Finally, he managed to speak, his words blunt, "Dumb B*tch"
