I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 642 - 638 Ying Gou

Seeing the bizarre changes of those cameras, an inexplicable sense of crisis welled up.

It made Fang Xiaocao instantly feel as if there were thorns in her back.

"Taotie, kill him!"

"Everyone retreat!"

Fang Xiaocao shouted, swiftly moving backward.

She dodged into a hidden door, returning to the sewer.

Upon hearing Fang Xiaocao’s command, Taotie unhesitatingly threw the alloy dagger in his hand.

At the same time, he grabbed the confused Vermilion Bird and Unhappy, passing through the hidden door to return to Fang Xiaocao’s side.

The alloy dagger shot through the air.

It hit Fake Tom squarely in the back.

Fake Tom died instantly, his body falling forward stiffly.

Crack—

The moment Fake Tom’s body landed, it triggered a mechanism in front.

The next second!

Countless steel needles rained down, densely piercing the floor.

Turning the floor into a bed of nails.

Fake Tom’s body immediately turned into a hedgehog.

Fang Xiaocao and the others hiding in the sewer saw this scene through the gap in the hidden door.

Each gasped in shock.

If Fang Xiaocao hadn’t reacted quickly, none of them would have escaped.

Even if they survived, they’d lose a layer of skin.

No one would escape getting pricked by a few needles.

"Damn!"

"Was this mechanism designed by Nanny Rong?"

"Using so many needles!"

Taotie exclaimed.

"Could also be Li Mochou!"

"Because the needles are poisonous!"

Fang Xiaocao said with lingering fear.

Upon hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, Taotie was stunned.

He instinctively looked at Fake Tom’s body, only to see it melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a pool of blood.

Leaving only a blackened skeleton.

"Holy crap?"

"Such strong poison!"

Taotie exclaimed again.

"What has happened?"

"Why kill Tom?"

Vermilion Bird looked bewildered at Fang Xiaocao and Taotie.

Vermilion Bird had been kept in the dark from the beginning.

Neither Fang Xiaocao nor Taotie had told Vermilion Bird that the Tom before him was an impostor.

Taotie chuckled, patting Vermilion Bird on the shoulder, "Foolish child, he was a fake."

"Fake?"

Vermilion Bird was stunned.

"Yes, the enemy sent him to harm us."

Taotie said with a profound smile.

"Stop babbling, think of a way through."

Fang Xiaocao glared at Taotie, who was acting all superior.

"Let me handle it."

Vermilion Bird volunteered.

Fang Xiaocao glanced at him and nodded.

Though Fang Xiaocao had little faith in Vermilion Bird, there were no other options.

He had to treat the dead horse as a live one.

Seeing Fang Xiaocao nod, Vermilion Bird pressed the trigger on the alloy folding fan in his hand.

Clang—

Numerous blades sprang from the alloy folding fan’s ribs.

These blades were also made of alloy.

Extremely sharp, slicing through iron like mud was no exaggeration.

Vermilion Bird walked to the hidden door and forcefully swung the alloy folding fan.

The alloy folding fan flew out like a boomerang.

Made a round in the steel needles, knocking down a slew of them, then returned to Vermilion Bird’s hand.

Vermilion Bird repeated the action several times, astonishingly clearing all the steel needles.

Witnessing this, Fang Xiaocao glanced at him in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Vermilion Bird’s alloy folding fan had been upgraded.

"Princess Your Highness, it’s done."

Vermilion Bird proudly declared.

Fang Xiaocao nodded, "Go scout ahead."

——

With Vermilion Bird scouting, Fang Xiaocao and the group triggered numerous mechanisms along the way.

Fortunately, no one was injured.

They safely passed the corridor behind the hidden door and arrived before a stone gate.

At this moment, standing before the stone gate was a thin old man in a white coat.

"Are you Fang Xiaocao?"

The old man fixed his gaze on Fang Xiaocao, rasping his voice.

"Yes, and you are?"

Fang Xiaocao openly admitted her identity.

Fang Xiaocao could tell that although the old man seemed ordinary.

He was likely an expert.

But Fang Xiaocao wasn’t afraid.

She was a great Hypnotist.

If it came down to it, even a Super Master wouldn’t have a good time against her.

Not to mention, Taotie was right by her side.

With Taotie, a Super Master, as her backing, no matter how strong the old man was, he couldn’t harm her.

"My name is Ying Gou, and I’m a Madman."

The old man chuckled strangely.

"What?"

"You’re Ying Gou?"

Before the old man finished speaking, Taotie and Vermilion Bird cried out in shock simultaneously.

As former members of the Blacklist, Ying Gou’s name was known to Taotie and Vermilion Bird.

But they had only heard of him, never seen what Ying Gou looked like.

"Yes, it’s me."

Ying Gou laughed psychologically unstable.

Upon seeing the old man admitting he was Ying Gou, Taotie pulled Fang Xiaocao behind him.

His tiger eyes warily fixed on Ying Gou, instantly ready for battle.

Unbeknownst to Earth Dragon, Taotie and Vermilion Bird had witnessed Ying Gou’s ruthlessness firsthand.

Though at the time, Ying Gou wore a mask.

Taotie and Vermilion Bird hadn’t seen Ying Gou’s face.

In their memory, Ying Gou was an extremely brutal individual.

Ten years ago, he was already a Half-step Super Expert.

Yet his true strength rivaled actual Super Masters.

Taotie and Vermilion Bird once watched Ying Gou fight a genuine Super Master to death.

That was before Taotie became a Super, the world’s only Super Master to die unnaturally in nearly thirty years.

Of course, Ying Gou didn’t fare well at the time either.

Suffering multiple organ ruptures, almost dying.

But perhaps it’s the good who die young, the wicked live a thousand years.

The Blacklist acquired a living body from the Pawnshop.

Successfully performing a transplant on Ying Gou.

Bringing this Madman back to life.

An existence that could kill Super Masters above his level from years ago.

Even Taotie had to approach cautiously.

Who knows if Ying Gou had crossed that half-step, becoming an actual Super Master now.

Who knows how strong he had become.

Even if Ying Gou hadn’t crossed that threshold, he was a Madman with Super strength.

Taotie wasn’t afraid to fight a genuine Super Master.

But fighting a Madman of Super caliber, Taotie felt a bit dread.

Who knows what crazy actions this Super Madman would take.

The Super Master who died under Ying Gou’s hand didn’t know he was a Super Madman.

Was bitten to death by Ying Gou.

Back then Ying Gou had a poison-filled mouthguard, which released toxins when breaking the Super Master’s skin.

Directly poisoning him to death.

Though the tactics were base, the prior fight with the Super Master was fully intense. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

However, that’s not the main concern nor Taotie’s worry.

Taotie worries about Ying Gou’s madness.

Who in their right mind would hide lethal poison in a fragile mouthguard?

And wear it inside their mouth—

Not worrying about accidentally breaking it and poisoning themselves?
