"Let's go."
All three Pallbearers were Awakeners, and Ren Suo had scoured their Keys before leaving.
The thought of finally being able to leave the women's restroom, a place of sorrow for him, made even Ren Suo a bit excited. Holding Little Jiu's hand, he blended into the slightly panicked crowd, discreetly making his way out.
Yes, even when faced with such a mysterious and Transcendent event, the crowd was only slightly panicked.
If the timely arrival of the Tactical Bureau couldn't make them feel at ease, then the appearance of this adventurer from the Fairy Palace certainly swept away their doubts.
"It's the adventurer from 'High Energy Ahead'!"
"Are these the undead returning from the Undead Peach Blossom Land? Is 'High Energy Ahead' really not a movie?"
"The resurrected from the Fairy Palace!"
"Fairy Palace! Fairy Palace! Fairy Palace!"
Some even raised glow sticks on the spot and chanted for Fairy Palace, turning the tense and thrilling battle into a fan meeting for Fairy Palace.
It was at this moment that Ren Suo truly felt the influence of the Fairy Palace: among these young people at the comic convention, the Fairy Palace, with its rich Eastern flavors, was almost like the idol group at the pinnacle of the Supernatural World.
Nowadays, Ren Naiser was an essential follow on the social media lists of young people from all walks of life. Many even had Ren Naiser set for special alerts, rushing to watch as soon as an update came. After all, reports on Transcendent news were sparse, especially high-level ones. Compared to those using supernatural power on TikTok and Kuaishou to look cute, every one of Ren Naiser's videos was earth-shatteringly astonishing, allowing ordinary folks to glimpse into the mysterious Supernatural World.
If a stranger claimed to be from the Fairy Palace, the spectators would mostly feel nothing. But when someone from the Fairy Palace who had appeared in videos, even as the main character of one, showed up, it was no less than a superstar appearing on the street!
Noticing that his target was on the move, Aurora Roy's calmness gradually dissipated, replaced by irritability, frustration, and a burning rage that sought to smash everything to pieces!
"So annoying, so annoying! Why does such a simple task keep failing!"
"Dammit, dammit! Why are they all dealt with, and I have to clean up this mess!"
"Cursed, cursed! Why does the Supernatural Department of the Mysterious Country show up right after I kill the man in Red Clothing?"
"Eat shit, eat shit! Why does someone from the Fairy Palace even show up to stop me!"
The influence of awakened spells on Awakeners had been a topic since the early days of the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, but there had been little progress in related research.
Some Awakeners' personalities didn't change much before and after. Others changed significantly, but this wasn't necessarily a 'direct influence' from the Awakening Technique. Instead, it was often an 'indirect influence' as Awakeners gained profits, respect, confidence, and the ability to use violence from their awakened spells, thereby changing their personalities.
Whether Roy was affected 'directly' or 'indirectly' by the Awakening Technique was unknown, but his personality was peculiar—Immovable as a Mountain when calm, and Fierce as Thunder when angry, with no third state in between!
He could either be entirely rational or wholly emotional!
He knew his actions would cause tremendous casualties and affect the relationship between the Mysterious Country and the Federation. He even knew he himself might not survive. Yet, Roy still ignored all consequences. He charged forward, unhesitatingly using a large-scale AOE Spell towards the direction of the target and the crowd—'White Light Cascade'!
At that moment, Roy was like an Angel descending from the heavens, his palms emitting a cascade of white light that illuminated the entire comic convention hall!
But the next second, giant wings of blazing white unfurled, a figure even more dazzling and cooler than Roy suddenly appeared before the crowd, severing Roy's White Light Cascade with two swords, and any residual Energy leak was blocked by the wings!
"There are quite a variety of swords here."
With a slight flutter of his wings, the adventurer soared into the air. The tourists below looked up to see that the adventurer's wings extended from the hilt of a sword on his back...
"A Guardian Angel!? Isn't that a resurrection item from League of Legends? It even has wings now?"
"Wait, look at what's hanging behind him... a Blink Dagger! 'Blink Dagger'! Isn't that a prop from Dota 2?"
Those tourists who still had the leisure to observe the adventurer's equipment were quite hardcore; most of them were startled by Roy's White Light Cascade and panicked, wanting to leave as quickly as possible.
Seeing the crowd on the verge of panic and fearing a stampede, the adventurer lazily said from midair, "The Fairy Palace will protect your safety, hurry up and go."
Reassured by the adventurer's promise, the tourists breathed a sigh of relief and calmly followed the crowd to make their departure.
Meanwhile, Roy, faced with the pincer attack from the adventurer and the cloaked figure, instantly regained his composure from his fury. As the red dot of the target shrank smaller and farther away, Roy had no choice but to deploy his last resort!
SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!
Successive sounds of shattering glass were heard around the venue, and eight foreigners wearing masks and hats entered by Climbing and breaking through the windows. Roy immediately pointed towards Ren Suo's direction and shouted, "Over there!"
"Stop them!"
Yu Kuangtu glanced at the adventurer and the cloaked person, choosing to leave Roy to them, while he led his Tactical Bureau team to intercept the newly emerged Pallbearers!
Just as the nearest Pallbearer to the crowd was about to strike and create Chaos, Yu Kuangtu narrowed his eyes, Fiery Flames burst forth from his feet, his boots incinerated to ash, and a fierce gust of wind propelled him over the crowd towards the Pallbearer!
Yu Kuangtu's self-developed derivative Spell— "Phoenix Dive"!
The Pallbearer, noticing Yu Kuangtu's approach, quickly tried to Dodge and cast a Protective Spell on himself, but still got hit by Yu Kuangtu's Fire Fist in his ribs, spitting out blood and falling to the ground, completely incapacitated.
These Pallbearers are probably equivalent to the level of a Second Stage Cultivator... They should have no firearms, not difficult to handle... Huh? Yu Kuangtu thought rapidly.
Yu Kuangtu's mind raced, and he turned to look towards the crowd streaming out—he felt like he had seen someone familiar. But before he could grasp the fleeting Spiritual Light, someone yelled from another direction, "Director, we need Support over here!"
"I'm on it!"
Ren Suo, mixed within the crowd, looked back at Yu Kuangtu, who was again launching himself with fire from his rear. He probably didn't recognize me, Ren Suo mused. I've changed clothes, and with Little Jiu's 'Blur' bonus, forget Yu Kuangtu—even I can't recognize myself anymore!
They were not far from the convention's exit now. Once they left the building, it would be smooth sailing from there.
Perhaps sensing Ren Suo's good mood, Little Jiu, who was tightly gripping his hand, looked up and asked crisply, "Big brother, where are we going?"
"Home," Ren Suo replied with a smile.
Little Jiu blinked and nodded vigorously, "Okay!"
She swung Ren Suo's hand back and forth, laughing with great Joy, "I like big brother the most!"
The nearby tourists looked at Ren Suo with complex expressions, as if they were considering whether they should kneel and call him 'Uncle'.
But Ren Suo felt a strange Energy transfer from Little Jiu's hands into his own body. He was slightly startled, then quickly realized that a new Bond had been established between him and Little Jiu.
However, unlike the Bonds formed with other Awakeners, Ren Suo didn't feel the presence of a Key from Little Jiu, which meant that she was not an Awakener.
According to Ren Suo's experience, the Bond System only worked between him and other Awakeners; otherwise, Zhao Huo would not be 'Friend Z' in the game—his relationship with Zhao Huo had definitely surpassed that of ordinary friends.
So, Little Jiu had bypassed the Bond System's restrictions and forcibly established a Bond with him?
Ren Suo looked down at Little Jiu, who was also looking at him. Their eyes met, Little Jiu's smile crinkling her eyes, and she asked softly, "Do you like Little Jiu's gift?"
Ren Suo was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "I like it!"
Was the Energy that just came from Little Jiu her gift to establish the Bond?
At that moment, 145 meters away from Ren Suo and Little Jiu, the cloaked person who was fighting with Roy suddenly turned his head sharply to look towards the convention's exit!
