Reincarnation Paradise

Chapter 874: Slippery

"3Q Chinese Network, the fastest update on Reincarnation Paradise!"

"Spatial abilities, not easy to deal with."

Various energy shields of different sizes appeared around Su Xiao, arranged chaotically to create a refraction effect. Although he had abilities to counter spatial ones, their cooldown time was too long. In a place like Academy City, spatial ability users were abundant, so he didn't plan to use them for now.

"This guy..."

Kuroko Shirai was stunned. After just one exchange, the opponent had figured out how to counter her abilities. With her vision obstructed, calculating the enemy's position became difficult. The semi-transparent energy panels refracted light, misleading her judgment of distance, causing errors in her spatial movement, and potentially leading to fatal mistakes, such as teleporting a metal rod into the enemy's brain.

Kuroko was overthinking it. If it weren't the first time encountering her abilities, and the attacked position wasn't lethal, the extremely intuitive Su Xiao, whose instincts were sharper than a beast's, wouldn't have been injured by her, let alone fatally.

"Such combat experience, a monster existing purely for battle. No, I must take this child away; she's seriously injured."

Kuroko glanced at the severely injured Saiai Kinuhata in her arms, who was coughing up blood and looked like she could die any moment.

Boom!

A loud explosion came, and Su Xiao charged directly at Kuroko. He didn't understand why she appeared, but compared to Kinuhata, Kuroko was more suitable as a bargaining chip for negotiation, showing more "sincerity."

Hearing the explosion, Kuroko instinctively felt something was wrong and immediately used her spatial ability to teleport. Her maximum teleportation distance was 80 meters, and she could carry up to 130.7 kilograms. Considering Kinuhata's and her sizes, it was uncertain if they weighed 130 pounds, let alone 130.7 kilograms.

Kuroko's teleportation not only had an 80-meter limit but also paused briefly after each teleport, meaning she couldn't completely shake off Su Xiao's pursuit.

Carrying Kinuhata, Kuroko teleported repeatedly while Su Xiao leaped between buildings at high speed.

However, Kuroko's teleportation ignored obstacles and maintained a certain distance from Su Xiao, avoiding his aura and allowing her to teleport for a long time.

Academy City had many buildings, ideal for Kuroko's teleportation. Realizing this, Su Xiao extended his perception in a fan shape, continuously locking onto the spatial fluctuations ahead. Frequently teleported by Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao was very familiar with spatial fluctuations. Kuroko's spatial abilities were too immature compared to Reincarnation Paradise's teleportation.

The chase began, and Kuroko couldn't shake off Su Xiao despite countless teleports.

"What kind of ability is this, a humanoid radar? And what was with that phone call?"

Kuroko was confused. Earlier, she had been shopping at a 24-hour unmanned store, buying some very mature lingerie, when her phone rang. The caller was a woman who informed her that a murder was about to happen in Academy City's Seventh District and gave specific details.

As a member of Judgment, Kuroko was responsible for maintaining order in her affiliated campus, though she often patrolled outside the campus without complaints.

Initially, Kuroko thought it was a malicious prank from a jealous classmate, but after receiving some photos, she realized it was no joke. The images of destroyed buildings and a blood-stained severed arm indicated that the call was likely truthful.

After careful consideration, Kuroko called the police and rushed to the scene.

Upon arrival, she first saw a corpse with a slit throat. The sight of blood made her stomach churn, and the scene continually assaulted her nerves.

From there, things were simple. Kuroko used her spatial ability to rescue Kinuhata and then immediately started fleeing. Sensing Su Xiao's presence, she knew she couldn't fight him. They were on different levels of combat ability and attitude towards battle.

Su Xiao fought with pure intent to kill and eliminate obstacles, unlike her purpose of subduing enemies without harming them. She couldn't kill.

Kuroko's greatest strength was knowing who she could fight and who she couldn't. Her current enemy was a warrior from the dark world. Fighting without intent to kill was laughable.

Since fighting wasn't an option, she had to escape.

Clang!

The blade slashed, and Kuroko vanished.

Su Xiao stopped on a rooftop, stepping hard enough to scatter gravel. Kuroko was slipperier than an eel.

"Girl, let's talk. I promise... I won't hurt you."

Su Xiao smiled, revealing his white teeth. He truly didn't plan to kill Kuroko. Killing Mugino Shizuri was fine since she was from the dark side and sought him out. But killing Kuroko, a "sunlit" person, was a different matter, almost a direct challenge to a certain someone.

"Hey, that smile makes you look like a villain."

Sweating, Kuroko retorted and teleported away.

"People believe lies more easily than the truth sometimes."

Su Xiao sat at the edge of the rooftop, exhaling smoke. He didn't continue the chase. He was waiting for someone.

Whoosh~

Another girl appeared, making Su Xiao frown. Why were all the ability users he encountered women?

This was a twin-tailed girl in revealing clothing, draped in a denim jacket, with bandages wrapped around her chest and a large part of her abdomen exposed.

"Hello, I'm Awaki Musujime. I mean no harm, just a messenger."

Awaki, sweating profusely, wasn't oppressed by Su Xiao's aura. Like Kuroko, she was a spatial ability user. Once, she accidentally "buried" one of her feet into a wall during a spatial move.

Having a body part teleported into a wall wasn't simple; her foot nearly fused with the concrete due to spatial compression. She fainted instantly, and after extensive treatment, her foot was saved. But since then, she has experienced intense anxiety and fear during spatial moves, always recalling the horrific sensation of bones, muscles, and nerves rubbing against concrete.

Hearing Awaki's words, Su Xiao felt relieved, thinking his wait was finally over. Operating within Academy City was extremely dangerous for him without joining the scientific side.
