"Just let her be immersed in the false world for a little longer."

"Even a false world is worth existing if it can bring a sense of security."

Fang Yun stood in the shadow of the corridor, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

He watched Mad Flower's confident expression in the secret room and whispered softly:

"Laugh, laugh as much as you can while you still can."

"Once I catch you later, you won't be able to laugh anymore."

...

Whether it was due to Mad Flower's forced control or a problem with the Demon Spider's own programming, its combat intelligence was certainly not high at the moment.

Under the alternating restraint of Valentine and Toke, the Demon Spider was like a headless fly, sometimes sweeping with its machine gun, sometimes point-shooting with its thermal melting gun, its actions completely without order.

After being busy for a long time, the Demon Spider hadn't hit anyone.

"Very busy, but don't know what I'm busy with".jpg

Because it was a prototype and had design flaws, coupled with having gone through many battles, the Demon Spider's movements were slightly stiff.

Relying on their skilled combat coordination and "Fang Yun's backing" (this was the most important), Valentine and Toke boldly utilized the Demon Spider's movement rigidity flaw to engage in a passionate exchange with it in this abandoned clinic.

The two sides went back and forth, fighting quite fiercely.

After several rounds of engagement, neither side could do anything to the other.

Just as the situation was in a stalemate, the Demon Spider's six electronic eyes suddenly flickered, and its attack rhythm showed a clear delay.

"I'll find an opportunity to hit it hard. You guys take the chance to attack and see if you can take it down." (Comms) (Fang Yun)

Hearing Fang Yun's voice, Valentine and Toke were immediately overjoyed.

Valentine keenly seized a weakness in the Demon Spider's movements, used the "Roll" skill to dodge its machine gun sweep, and then shouted in the team channel:

"Toke, now!" (Comms)

Like Valentine, Toke, who also caught the weakness in the Demon Spider's movements, immediately leaped out from behind cover and fired three shots at the Demon Spider's "knee joint" with his shotgun.

"Bang—! Bang—! Bang—!"

The pre-loaded pointed shells collided with the Demon Spider's armor, creating sparks.

Accompanied by a grating sound of metal deforming and twisting, the pointed shells suddenly exploded, and the small steel balls and alloy fragments inside completely penetrated the armor at the Demon Spider's joint.

Pale blue prosthetic cooling fluid sprayed out from the damaged area, one of the Demon Spider's mechanical legs lost its support ability, and its huge body uncontrollably tilted to the left.

Toke shouted excitedly in the team channel:

"Nice!" (Comms)

Before he finished speaking, Valentine noticed that the engine in the Demon Spider's chest cavity suddenly emitted a violent buzzing sound, and the remaining five mechanical legs simultaneously retracted, the entire body slowly sinking.

"Toke, be careful!" (Comms) (Valentine)

"It's going to jump away." (Comms) (Fang Yun)

Valentine's and Fang Yun's reminders sounded in the team channel simultaneously.

The next second.

"Boom!"

The Demon Spider soared into the air like a cannonball, crashing through the ceiling and disappearing.

Concrete fragments rained down, and Valentine and Toke both covered their heads to dodge.

"Damn it, where did it go?" (Comms)

Valentine looked up at the large hole in the ceiling, trying to find the Demon Spider's trace.

Toke moved away from the wall he had been leaning against and looked around vigilantly.

"Now it could appear from behind any wall. I'll watch these two walls, Valentine, you watch the other two, Fang Yun, I'll leave the roof to you." (Comms) (Toke)

"Okay!" (Comms) (Valentine)

"OK." (Comms) (Fang Yun)

The room gradually fell silent, and the three of them roughly inferred the Demon Spider's position based on the sounds it made.

Left side, right side, roof, back side, ...

The sound suddenly stopped.

"Back side!" (Comms) ×2

Valentine and Toke both roared, and at the same time, the wall behind Fang Yun collapsed with a bang.

The Demon Spider burst through the wall, brandishing a large saber, its five mechanical legs crawling rapidly on the ground at an astonishing speed, rushing in front of the three in an instant.

"Spread out." (Comms) (Fang Yun)

Valentine and Toke, who were relatively far from the Demon Spider, easily dodged its surprise attack.

Fang Yun, on the other hand, performed two consecutive rolls, first avoiding the large saber swinging at him, and then dodging the praying mantis blade that suddenly popped out of the Demon Spider's prosthetic leg.

Seeing its attacks miss completely once again, the Demon Spider's six prosthetic eyes immediately glowed intensely red.

It seemed to have learned its lesson and didn't chase anyone, but stopped in place. The armor plate on its abdomen and tail clicked open, revealing two rows of rocket launcher ports underneath.

The Demon Spider's entire abdomen and tail were divided into two parts. The main part was a storage compartment for ammunition and fuel, and above the storage compartment was a disposable integrated rocket launcher module.

Once the launcher module was shot and exploded by the enemy, it would detonate the ammunition and fuel in the storage compartment along with it.

Therefore, the Demon Spider would only activate the launcher module in the most dangerous situations.

Looking at it this way, it seems it didn't learn its lesson, but was enraged out of shame? (Laugh)

"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Six miniature rockets with trailing flames whistled out one after another!

"Get down!"

Valentine shouted, signaling Toke to quickly take cover, and then raised his submachine gun to try and intercept them.

Toke looked at the rockets flying towards him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Bush, Gorman. What kind of grudge is this, all six rockets are coming for me?』

At the critical moment, Fang Yun's pupils suddenly contracted, and the entire world instantly went into slow motion.

"Beep, Void Walker self-start protocol, activated."

"Beep, Thought Acceleration Matrix protocol (passive), activated."

"Beep. Hacker technology restriction protocol (Third Order), lifted."

"System self-check complete, prosthetic integrity 100%, energy reserve 145%. Your current state is: Good (Blue)."

The trajectories of the six rockets were fully revealed under Fang Yun's observation.

"So that's it, the current situation has exceeded Valentine's and Toke's handling capacity limit?"

"Then let me reverse the situation! Open!"

Fang Yun, holding Sakura Fall, stepped on the ground and instantly disappeared from his original spot.

The nichirin sword arrived later but reached first, catching up to the rockets, the blade precisely splitting the warheads.

"Boom!" ×6

"Beep, took damage, HP -15×6. Remaining HP: 2910." (The HP here only accounts for the "base 2000" and "base increase".)

Six explosion sounds occurred simultaneously in an order indistinguishable by the naked ear.

Because Toke was on the outermost edge of the kill zone, he was not damaged, only knocked to the ground by the blast wave.

After rolling twice on the ground, he stood up straight again and looked forward.

He saw Fang Yun's figure, completely unharmed and without any injuries, slowly walking out of the flames and thick smoke.

"..., 6." (Comms) (Toke)

"...WC? WC! Awesome, Fang Yun! Thumbs up.jpg." (Comms) (Valentine)

The Demon Spider's electronic prosthetic eyes saw the situation inside through the thick smoke.

"Buzz."

Upon seeing Fang Yun's unharmed figure, the Demon Spider's engine group immediately buzzed incessantly, and its six prosthetic eyes shot out red light.

The Demon Spider was greatly puzzled, the Demon Spider was extremely angry!

Just as the overheating Demon Spider was about to do something, Fang Yun suddenly disappeared from its sight.

"?! Where is the enemy?" (Mechanical thinking anthropomorphized description)

"..., Behind! Attack..." (Mechanical thinking anthropomorphized description)

The Demon Spider's prosthetic eyes recaptured Fang Yun's figure, and immediately, it was about to launch another attack.

However, as soon as it turned around, it found that it had been dismembered into numerous fragments at some point.

All nine limbs were severed, the electronic brain and central processor were finely chopped into minced meat, the torso was split from head to tail, and the abdomen and tail were divided into four parts without exploding.

Countless mechanical parts burst out from the Demon Spider's body, and it lay twitching on the ground.

The buzzing sound of the engine group fell silent.

Praying Mantis Blade Prototype—"Demon Spider", declared silent.

Fang Yun patted the dust off his body, walked to the Demon Spider with Sakura Fall in hand, and stepped on its engine.

"Mad Flower, how do you feel now?"

"..."

Dead silence, a dead silence without a sound.

"..."

After the dead silence, came an unbearable scream.

"No!!!"

Mad Flower's incredulous shouts echoed in the room:

"No! This is impossible! My Demon Spider, how could you possibly kill it!"

"You, who exactly are you?!"

Fang Yun smiled slightly:

"Me? I'm just a passing Kamen Rider."

"Of course, you can also call me a hero for fun."
