Susan’s hairs stood on end, and she immediately leaped backward.

As the sound of wind breaking filled the air, she realized that the items on her body felt weightless. With that leap, she easily dodged the claw attack.

“Bang!”

Manba’s mechanical prosthetic limb smashed the ground where she had just stood, causing the ground to crack and spread like a spider web. With a deep, muffled thud, the entire ground collapsed, and several surrounding dilapidated buildings fell with it!

At the same moment, Li Andy frowned and tapped the armrest.

The shattered stones and steel bars instantly fused, forming a stone cocoon that protected Susan.

“Rumble—”

For a moment, dust billowed everywhere.

After a long while, Manba, covered in mud and dust, stood at the center of the collapse, his eyes, stripped of their madness, staring blankly around.

What had he just done?

He… seemed to have heard the Mad Doctor say someone was fighting Lisa… and then he couldn’t control his emotions… and rushed out…

“Lisa… Lisa!!”

Manba rushed towards the ruins, frantically pulling away steel bars and rubble with his hands.

His luck had always been good, and soon, he saw a flash of red.

However, that red seemed to be spreading, flowing…

“Lisa! Sis… Sister!!”

No matter how Manba called out, Lisa could no longer respond. Her blood continuously flowed into the ground, following the steel bar that pierced her body.

Like a loss, yet also like a return.

Manba wailed loudly, pushing away the rubble blocking his way like a madman.

Evil fate seemed to deem the drama not hellish enough.

Because of Manba’s push, the pile of stones above Lisa immediately collapsed, burying her completely with a rumble!

A severed hand fell to the ground, and two coins rolled out from it, jingling to a stop at Manba’s feet… one heads, one tails.

“Plop…”

Manba knelt on the ground, his eyes as empty as if he were dead.

After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to hear something, picked up the two blood-stained coins, and stiffly stood up.

On his way out, he also found two more dust-covered coins, both showing heads.

On the other two sides of Black Alley, the two observers also had their own reactions.

Reirfu’s eyeballs stopped rolling. His face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood, like some strange oily dye, adhered to the crystal ball, its color constantly changing with the light and shadow, at times crimson-black, at times alternating between purple and blue.

Next to him, the quill pen scribbled furiously:

【Street girl, died by her lover’s hand】

【Hunter, fate stolen】

【Physician, on the verge of death】

【Butcher, turned into a puppet, being led】

【Observer, you are already in the game!】

The first few lines were in dark ink, but the last line was in crimson handwriting!

On the other side.

Li Andy sat on the sofa, slightly frowning, quietly watching the scene in the Mystic Mirror.

His sister Youxi stood beside him, massaging his temples while looking at the ruins and debris in the Mystic Mirror, a wave of fear washing over her:

“Brother, that person seems more powerful than we imagined. It’s a good thing you didn’t let Sophia go…”

Li Andy let out a soft breath, silently reaching out to pull his sister into his arms. He inhaled her hair’s scent, closing his eyes to calm himself.

He wasn’t particularly surprised by this outcome.

After all, someone who could create such lucky coins couldn’t truly be weak.

Moreover, the opponent also held a geographical advantage. The old alley had too many unpredictable factors, already exceeding the maximum number of creations he could control remotely.

However, this development was fine too.

Because the direction of the drama was now clear.

The last lucky coin was with the Gambler.

He still had choices and room for maneuver, but the Observer on the other side had now been completely pulled from the audience by fate.

“Knock knock…”

The door was knocked quickly twice, and Sophia rushed in:

“Andy, Youxi!”

“Crazy Rat, with Black Alley, is now fighting the Stationed Army!”

“Now… they’ve probably already pushed to North Street!”

Li Andy opened his eyes, frowning and murmuring softly:

“Gambler, is he trying to make a big gain from a small investment?”

The Mystic Mirror intelligently shifted its view, covering Zacro’s surroundings.

A group of well-equipped steam weapon teams, like monsters, continuously destroyed the Stationed Army’s positions.

Under Zacro’s command, Black Snake’s originally smuggled goods were now being utilized.

Upon closer comparison, the quality and quantity were surprisingly far superior to the Stationed Army.

Meanwhile, the people on the public security team’s side were not equipped with any standard steam weapons. They fought and retreated, seemingly having reached some kind of tacit understanding with Black Alley.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, twilight stained the sky.

Crazy Rat, led by Zacro, had completely occupied North Street.

He gave instructions to Tie Shu, then went alone to a spacious, empty flat ground and sat in the center.

It seemed… he was waiting for someone.

........

On the other side.

“Cough cough…”

Susan finally woke up in the ruins.

She held her forehead as she got up, her scalp slightly scraped, blood staining half her face.

She looked disheveled, but her body was unharmed.

She glanced around, her teeth clenching in anger.

Why!

Why couldn’t they just talk properly!

We clearly didn’t need to fight!

“Ugh…”

Suddenly, a weak groan came from not far away.

Susan froze, followed the sound, and crouched down, seeing a man curled up under a triangular wall, a survivor.

“Don’t move, I’ll get you out!”

Susan immediately began the rescue, carefully moving stones while talking to him to keep him mentally stable.

“What’s your name?”

“Cha… Charlie…”
