As Fang Li felt extremely surprised, on the other side, the situation on the young girl’s side also underwent a change.
“Hū——!”
Amidst the howling sound of the wind, the huge weapon in the girl’s delicate hands swung again, completely mismatched with her petite figure, aiming at an Aragami rushing towards her.
However, this time, the Aragami suddenly opened its mouth which was filled with sharp fangs, and bit down on the swung weapon.
“————!”
The girl’s complexion suddenly changed.
At the same time, around them, other Aragami roared and pounced toward the girl one after another and the battle came to a halt.
“Swish——!”
In a burst of glittering images, the Aragami around the girl simultaneously disappeared without a trace. Even the desolate wasteland suddenly vanished, transforming into a mechanized room.
In the room, only the girl remained kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath, while gritting her teeth with an unwilling expression on her face.
Seeing this scene, Fang Li finally understood what this was, this was just a simulated facility.
Just like the training grounds in the Main God’s Dimension, this simulated facility was used for training purposes.
In other words, all the Aragami that had just appeared were simulated entities and the girl was only using this facility to engage in simulated battles against the Aragami.
“This is really…” Fang Li couldn’t help but smile bitterly when he realized that. He originally thought that there would be some gains, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be futile.
“However, being able to see her is also a gain.”
After all, just like Mumei and the others in the previous world, this young girl before him was also a character that Fang Li liked very much in this world.
Of course, now was not the time to strike up a conversation with the girl; the Quest was still the most important.
Just as Fang Li was about to turn around and leave, his good luck finally ran out.
Inside the training grounds of the simulated facility, the girl suddenly turned her head, and her sharp eyes directly fixated on the direction of the door, and her voice rang out abruptly throughout the entire area.
“Who’s there?!”
Upon hearing the girl’s voice, Fang Li understood that he had been discovered. At the same time, the door behind Fang Li automatically opened.
“Pā——!”
Amidst a strong and forceful stomping sound, the silver-haired girl leaped out from the door, her azure eyes locked onto Fang Li’s figure, glittering with a chilly light.
Immediately, the girl swung her heavy weapon fiercely, mercilessly striking Fang Li.
From the girl’s sudden discovery of Fang Li to bursting out of the door and launching an attack, the whole process took less than a few seconds.
It was evident that the girl was not an ordinary person and this was something Fang Li knew very well.
The girl was indeed extraordinary; she was a God Eater.
Although she wasn’t carrying a God Arc and instead had a training weapon, her combat skills far surpassed those of an ordinary person.
Looking at the heavy weapon swung by the girl, it was clear that her strength was extraordinary.
If one were hit by it, even a well-trained soldier would be knocked down in a single blow.
Unfortunately, Fang Li was no longer the weak and inexperienced rookie spacer from before.
Facing the fiercely swung heavy weapon, Fang Li didn’t even turn his head. He suddenly squatted down, and the enormous weapon swung over his head, producing a whooshing sound of the wind.
In that instant, Fang Li placed one hand on the ground, rotated his body, using a sweeping move, and swiftly delivered an upward kick to his opponent.
“Bang——!”
The powerful kick landed on the girl’s hand that was holding the weapon, sending her weapon flying.
“What…?!” The girl was greatly shocked by this turn of events.
Obviously, she never expected that the soldier in military attire before her would be so strong.
“————!”
The girl immediately tightened her charming face, her gaze and expression turning even colder. She completely ignored her weapon being kicked away and launched herself forward, aiming a palm strike at Fang Li’s chest.
Not only did she possess a weapon, but the girl also had a grasp of close combat techniques.
However…
“Are you still a beginner? Using too much force is not a good thing!” Accompanied by this intentionally suppressed voice, Fang Li lowered his head, letting the military cap cover his face, not exposing himself to the girl’s view. But his movements were as swift as the wind and with a flash, he evaded the girl’s palm strike.
Just as Fang Li had said, the girl’s combat skills were clearly at the beginner rank. She used excessive force, missed a strike, and completely broke her stance which caused her to stumble forward.
Fang Li tightly grabbed the arm from which the palm strike had come, exerting force, and twisted it, pinning the girl’s arm behind her back.
It was an extremely standard joint lock.
Although Fang Li hadn’t learned joint locks, he hadn’t lived a sheltered life either. It was impossible to have never seen a pig run even without eating pork, right?
Therefore, relying on his exceptional agility, Fang Li imitated what he had seen in some videos and movies, he applied a joint lock, and pinned the girl’s arm behind her back. He also quickly moved behind her, pushing her towards the wall and pressing her against it.
“Umm…?!” The girl let out a muffled sound as she was pushed against the wall and began to struggle with all her might.
This resistance made Fang Li immediately feel a tremendous force, leaving him speechless.
Indeed, even a God Eater who was still a beginner in combat techniques, even if her technique was lacking, possessed an incredibly strong body due to the enhancement she received from the Oracle Cell.
And Fang Li had allocated all his points to agility. If it wasn’t for having already subdued the girl, he probably would have been thrown off by now.
“Behave yourself.” Fang Li pressed the submachine gun in his hand against the girl’s back and spoke in a lowered voice.
“Unless you want to die.”
The girl’s resistance came to an abrupt stop when she heard this, however, even without looking, Fang Li could tell that the girl’s face must be filled with an even stronger unwillingness than when she was in the training grounds.
Then, the girl spoke.
“Who are you?” The girl asked in a cold voice, “What is your purpose for infiltrating this place?”
Fang Li didn’t answer. Although his face was not visible to the girl, and his voice intentionally lowered, speaking too much would undoubtedly expose his flaws.
Therefore, Fang Li only asked in a low voice. “Tell me, is the Branch Director in the command room?”
The girl instantly fell silent.
Obviously, she refused to answer such a question and Fang Li also wasn’t surprised by this at all.
“Since that’s the case, why don’t you take a nap here.” After saying that, Fang Li intended to knock out the girl right there.
However, Fang Li didn’t notice that the girl he had pinned against the wall had quietly moved one hand to a certain spot on the wall, gently flicked it, and even removed a small section, revealing a button underneath. She pressed it.
“Beep—Beep—Beep—Beep—!”
Suddenly, an alarm sounded, resounding throughout the area.
