“I was completely played by them.” Amidst the onslaught of the Aragami forces, Fang Li’s face displayed a chilling calmness on it but his figure did not falter.
While the other soldiers raised their guns and began shooting, Fang Li did not lift his machine gun. Instead, he simply discarded it and faced the approaching swarm of Aragami barehanded.
Shortly afterward, Fang Li exhibited an unimaginable agility. Faced with Aragami lunging towards him, Fang Li swiftly moved, accelerating to the limits within seconds, evading them like a phantom.
When Aragami descended from the sky, Fang Li’s figure became elusive and ethereal, disappearing in an instant like a mirage.
Some Aragami attacked him directly, while others swooped down from above, completely surrounding Fang Li from all directions without leaving the slightest gap.
In such an onslaught, even a God Eater with a God Arc in hand would be instantly bitten and killed if they revealed even a slight opening.
If a regular person who couldn’t defeat Aragami found themselves in this situation, it would be impossible for them to survive against the relentless waves of Aragami.
However, Fang Li completely overturned this understanding.
Even as the ferocious Aragami rushed at him from all sides, Fang Li remained untouched.
Sometimes he surged forward.
Sometimes he crouched on the ground.
Sometimes he pressed close to his opponents.
Sometimes he swiftly dodged left and right.
At this moment, Fang Li seemed like a phantom without substance, an intangible gust of wind. He moved with a walking technique that ordinary people could not comprehend, evading the attacks of the Aragami.
Moreover, as the evasions continued, Fang Li’s agility became more and more proficient. Gradually, he moved from barely touching the fur to embodying shades of Tohno Shiki’s presence.
After all, Fang Li was still in the learning stage, and his skills naturally continued to improve. However, Fang Li was completely unaware of this. He left the evasion to his subconscious mind and immersed himself in extremely fast thinking.
“I didn’t expect that, in order to conceal the secrets of the Russian Branch, those people would go so far as to sacrifice an entire military unit and fail the mission on purpose.” Fang Li thought.
The landmines were items provided by the Russian Branch. If there was a problem with them, there was no doubt that someone from the Russian Branch was involved in it.
Furthermore, the modified landmine was in Fang Li’s possession, making him suspect that someone was intentionally framing him.
As for the reasons and motives, they were easy to guess.
“Does this prove that the secrets hidden by the Russian Branch are worth paying such a price to conceal?” Fang Li continue to think and he even suspected that the First Unit, which was sent by the Far East Branch, had also been further ensnared in the trap.
Even Hibari, who was still in the Russian Branch, could be under threat.
“As for who the mastermind behind this is, it’s not difficult to guess.” At this moment, the face of the captain appeared in Fang Li’s mind.
Every piece of evidence pointed to the captain’s significant involvement with the secrets of the Russian Branch.
Moreover, the captain was the one who harbored the most suspicion towards Fang Li’s entire group, which was investigating the secrets of the Russian Branch.
Therefore, if there was someone eager to eliminate Fang Li’s entire group, Fang Li could only think of the Captain.
“Very well, excellent!”
Betrayed by the Russian Branch, did Fang Li harbor hatred towards them?
To be honest, Fang Li didn’t feel much hatred at all.
Because Fang Li neither belongs to the Far East branch nor has any grievances with the Russian Branch, he infiltrated the Russian Branch to secretly investigate their secrets due to his own A-Rank Quest.
In Fang Li’s subjective consciousness, he was the one who initiated the trouble, not the others which means that if he fell victim to someone’s scheme, he couldn’t blame anyone but himself.
“However, just because I don’t harbor hatred doesn’t mean I will accept being manipulated without complaint!” With these words, Fang Li’s figure disregarded inertia and suddenly halted. Then, like a spider sprinting on a spider’s web, he swiftly dashed towards an oncoming Ogretail Aragami.
“I hope that you have prayed that I won’t survive, or else I won’t let you off the hook!” As Fang Li spoke, he delivered a powerful kick toward the head of the Ogretail Aragami.
“Boom!” The strong and forceful kick landed directly on the head of the Ogretail Aragami.
With Fang Li’s agility, he could easily kick even medium-sized Aragami with all his might, let alone small-sized ones.
Therefore, under Fang Li’s attack, the Ogretail Aragami was kicked away like a ball, crashing into another Aragami that was charging from behind and causing them to roll into a heap.
Naturally, this alone wouldn’t defeat the Aragami; it only served to provoke their anger. Thus, the Ogretail Aragami let out an enraged growl and charged toward Fang Li.
At that moment, a figure suddenly leaped down from mid-air, wielding a heavy greatsword that seemed to descend like lightning, and thrust it downward.
“Splurt!” The longsword, radiating a dark red gleam, plunged into the body of the Ogretail Aragami, pinning it to the ground as blood dyed the ground red.
Fang Li raised his gaze slightly, looking at the person who had killed the Ogretail Aragami. The person also lifted their head, locking eyes with Fang Li, emanating unmistakable hostility within them.
Apart from Alisa, who else could it be?
Soon, Alisa spoke up. “Disguising yourself as an ordinary soldier and infiltrating the Russian Branch, what is your purpose?”
Her tone held no questions, only accusations. Apparently, Alisa no longer doubted whether Fang Li was an intruder or not.
The strikingly similar profile.
Extraordinary agility.
The combination of these two factors was enough to prove that Fang Li was the intruder.
At least, Alisa didn’t believe that in this world, two people with similar profiles could possess skills comparable to God Eaters.
Thus, Alisa no longer doubted Fang Li’s identity; she simply confirmed it.
In response, Fang Li smirked and was about to say something when his complexion suddenly changed. Because behind Alisa, a massive figure silently appeared and pounced toward her.
Witnessing this scene, Fang Li’s pupils contracted, and he quickly shouted, “Dodge!”
A fleeting coldness appeared on Alisa’s exquisite charming face and in the next moment, the enormous silhouette that descended from the sky lunged directly towards the ground.
“Thud!” The tremendous mass impacted the ground, causing a muffled sound that reverberated through the air.
