I will attack as a player!

Chapter 25 Machine Knight

A virtual projection appeared, showing a huge furnace and hammer, with dreamlike lava pouring down and drenching Maz.

The giant hammer crashed down, sending sparks flying everywhere.

After the dazzling special effects faded, the hidden nanomaterials were assembled, transforming into an extremely magnificent suit of armor that covered Maz's body.

It was a Persian-style battle suit, with strange flames flowing like water emanating from Maz's waist and covering his back like a skirt armor.

"So... you are... Machine Knight Maz?" On the ground, although the freezing had been lifted, the boy, whose body temperature had not yet risen, stretched out his hand with difficulty, exhaling white mist with each breath: "Then... I'll leave Doctor Frozen to you."

After saying that, he lost his strength and his hand fell limply, but Maz reached out and grabbed it tightly.

With his expression obscured by the helmet, Maz nodded vigorously: "Leave it to me!"

Maz placed the boy's hand back into his arms, flicked her skirt, looked at the Ice Doctor who was in a "disconnected" state not far away, pressed the lever on her belt that looked like a power hammer, and stretched out her hand.

The next moment, a spear with its own propulsion system that spewed flames detached from his body and fell into his hand.

Immediately afterwards, his shoulders opened, and two red rings lit up from his back shoulders. With the enormous thrust, Maz transformed into a comet, instantly streaking across the entire battlefield with scorching flames, and appeared behind Doctor Frozen.

Doctor Frozen was stunned for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, a huge explosion erupted from him. Maz also withdrew his spear amidst the explosion and flicked his skirt armor once more.

When the smoke cleared, only a large, dark crater remained.

Dr. Frozen has now been taken offline.

In the midst of the silent crowd, a few people suddenly started cheering, which seemed to trigger a wave of applause and cheers from the onlookers.

Four drones descended from the sky at some unknown time, forming a band of light around Maz and isolating the crowd.

Not long after, another woman in a suit walked out of the crowd, said something to everyone, and then started an unconventional autograph session.

Ignoring the clamoring crowd, Chu Wuji squeezed his way toward his sister's spot in the distance.

In the explosion just now, Chu Wuji realized that the Frozen Doctor was not dead or even injured. He was simply rescued by a masked superhuman. If he was not mistaken, the two of them should still be on a building in the distance.

Fortunately, the crowd surged toward Maz, and Chu Wuji quickly arrived at the back of Pingkou Division, gently patting the figure with the golden ponytail.

"Whoa!" Chu Tong was startled. Noticing the stares from those around her, she coughed a few times, then calmly turned around and said, "Brother, you're here."

"I've been here for a while." Chu Wuji could tell at a glance that this girl was still maintaining her aloof persona in front of outsiders, but he didn't expose her. Instead, he beckoned with his finger and turned to walk towards the alley next to him.

Chu Tong informed her supervisor and then came over.

As soon as they entered the alley, Chu Tong grabbed Chu Wuji by the collar with both hands and shook him violently: "Brother! You scared me to death! I almost jumped up!"

Why do you walk so quietly?

Chu Wuji ignored him. In any case, Chu Tong had been quite frightened by him since his body control improved step by step with his level.

"What's this 'acting' all about? Isn't it dangerous? Did they ask you to do anything?"

"There's no danger. Some group is training their superheroes to be killed off, and they're just cooperating with Ping Kosi. I was originally the strongest superhuman among the prospective police officers, and I was supposed to be the one to do the 'Fallen Hero of Ping Kosi' project. This is also part of the brain-computer interface slot I mentioned to you before."

"But I couldn't portray that feeling during the audition, so they didn't choose me, and I wasn't involved after that."

"However, there is still one spot left for the 'Police Flower Who Hates Eccentrics,' which should just happen to be me, the aloof, beautiful, and capable Miss Chu Tong!" Chu Tong made a peace sign with both hands, one on her head and the other on the side of her face, and winked at Chu Wuji.

Then Chu Tong quickly added, "Because of political correctness, this policewoman character is a lesbian, but I am definitely straight in real life."

"A cold and aloof policewoman?" Although Chu Wuji knew that Chu Tong always acted cold and aloof, whether at school or in the Pingkou Division, he still couldn't imagine the scene.

"Forget about that, that flamingo is badly injured, is this considered safe?"

Chu Wuji grasped the key point. He knew that if Chu Tong hadn't been unable to act out that effect, she would have been the one who got hurt while acting with the Frozen Doctor.

Chu Tong recalled: "At the time, the people in the group said that when Dr. Frozen attacked, he used fake ice, which only looked scary, so it was nothing serious."

Fake ice?

The way the fiery man fell to the ground and emitted cold air from his mouth didn't seem like fake ice.

Chu Wuji pondered for a moment and decided to find some time to check on the Flame Man's situation.

If there really is danger inside...

Should we just let Chu Tong refuse to participate?

No, this would make Chu Tong openly offend the company, which would be even more dangerous.

Forget it, if all else fails, I can just kill that Maz guy myself. Then the company will change the script and won't need Chu Tong anymore.

With a plan in mind, Chu Wuji felt a little relieved and reached out to pat Chu Tong's head: "Okay, you've grown up. I believe you have your own judgment."

"Hehe." Chu Tong chuckled twice without saying anything.

"But I remember you used to be a big fan of this Machine Knight thing, right? How about it? Now that you know the inside story, does your admiration have faded?"

This wasn't the first time Chu Wuji had encountered a Machine Soul Knight. When he was very young, he went out to buy groceries, and Chu Tong, being playful, slipped away and got lost. It was a Machine Soul Knight who brought Chu Tong back.

Chu Tong became obsessed with the Machine Soul Knight and collected all sorts of figurines and merchandise, even filling a whole cabinet with the transformation belts.

"That's a corporate-style Mech Knight, okay?" Chu Tong pouted. "I'm a fan of the grassroots style!"

"While the corporate faction is active in promoting their products and holding numerous book signings, most of them are too hypocritical. Unlike us, the grassroots faction, who genuinely uphold justice!"

With that, Chu Tong spread her legs and stretched her arms towards the sky: "Let the Ice Hunt begin! Transform!"

"You're still a Skadi fan?"

Skadi is the same Mech Knight who found Chu Tong when she was young.

"That's right, Skadi is my ultimate favorite, okay? She crushes all other Machine Knights!"

"Chichi, I'll bring you some souvenirs next time. I'm going home now, you should go home early too." Chu Wuji waved and left. "We're having wasabi shrimp balls tonight."

"Yay!"
