His own body had already evolved to withstand blunt force damage. Along with his phenomenal life evolution, he acquired something that most Supers only acquire at C Grade. He believes that even a C Grade pugilist can only match his body now.
But that makes sense. C Grade is common, but his Esper power is almost completely focused on the body, reaching that level at D-rank is not uncommon.
Hadavy could probably do the same, perhaps he could take a hit from an S Grade super and leave a corpse intact.
This thought amused him.
-M-monster... - The guard trembled as he continued to shoot.
Ringo gave him a nod with an excited smile and said. - Yes, I am the monster you created. - With that, he advanced.
White energy focused on his nails, his trimmed nails became sharp, black, like some unknown animal, but the best for his situation.
Then, with his strength and nails stronger and sharper than steel, with an upward diagonal movement too fast for anyone to see, he slit the guard's throat.
The guard head flew upward as his neck was ripped off completely.
His body remained standing for a few seconds before falling.
The group of scientists screamed in fear and tried to flee, but at that moment, the door opened.
Han Xiao stood there, his light mechanical arm in hand, a hard look on his face, still wearing the Germinal uniform.
He widened his eyes at the scene, and Ringo looked at him. - Hey, did you start this?
Han Xiao stared at him for a moment and nodded apprehensively. - Yes.
-Do you want my help getting out? - Ringo continued.
Han Xiao didn't even blink and nodded again.
Ringo nodded. - Well, I have no idea how to get out of here, I'll follow you. - Han Xiao seemed to reconsider the feasibility of the plan at this point, feeling that Ringo's smile seemed a bit dangerous. He used his "Observe" on Ringo, but besides the name, only "???" signs appeared, making him even more cautious. He watched as Ringo advanced and ripped out the scientists' hearts with his bare hands.
He laughed excitedly as the group pleaded, but Ringo didn't care. It only took five seconds, but the man was in front of him before the moans completely died down. He had a cloth in his hand, probably a piece of one of the scientists' shirts, he wiped his hand with a smile on his face, unconcerned.
Ringo looked excited as he advanced toward Han Xiao, who held his gun and gauntlet tighter.
He walked past Han Xiao and said. -Come on, lead the way.
Ringo was naked from the waist up, his head shaved, wearing only bloodstained white pants, his bare feet left red marks on the ground as he walked. But he didn't care, he let Han Xiao quickly advance as he ran with him.
Han Xiao heard something on Walktalk and wanted to hide and ambush him.
Ringo laughed and advanced again, leaving Han Xiao confused and worried, but when he followed after a slight hesitation, his eyes widened.
Every bullet hit him harmlessly, every blow claiming a life.
The two-meter-tall man strolled around like it was Christmas, laughing excitedly as he continued to kill.
Han Xiao didn't stop for long and started helping. He would deal with the crazy man later. For now, the Six's strength made him reconsider his plans. He no longer needed to hide, they could attack head-on!
Han Xiao also sensed that Ringo wasn't a C-Rank yet, but probably a D Grande. Knowing his Esper ability and his madness, he understood something and felt a little bad for him, but he didn't say anything. It wasn't his nature to say anything in these situations, at most sounding sarcastic to lighten the mood. But he didn't think it was a good idea to provoke the crazy man now, so he just helped him kill everything in his path.
Ringo finished killing, his body bathed in blood, but he didn't care. - Where's Hila? - he asked with a hint of madness in his voice.
-She left, just like the other test subjects. - he replied, trying not to anger Six.
Ringo nodded understandingly, but still seemed a little unhappy inside.
Han Xiao wondered if he wanted to kill her.
-Come on, I really want a burger. - He licked his lips, his stomach growling, then continued running.
Han Xiao couldn't agree more. He wanted much more than just a burger, but this wasn't the time for that.
The duo advanced after destroying Team C, then Team D, Team A, and even Team B. Everything in front of them was nothing but a piece of cloth to Ringo, Han Xiao felt very excited. It was a really good idea to release Six, at least that would be his thought before he completely lost his mind.
Arriving at the gate, Han Xiao used the access key he took from Lin Wei Xian to open the door.
Looking at the key card, Ringo seemed to remember something, and her face grew unhappy. - Did you kill Lin Wei Xian?
Han Xiao paused in confusion, but looking at his angry face, he swallowed hard, but felt that he had to tell the truth now, his intuition had never deceived him, he subconsciously wanted to respond with a provocation, but he held back and was sincere. - Yes.
Ringo looked even more unhappy, punching the side of the wall, leaving a ten-centimeter hole in the solid metal. He looked at the large doors opening and the wilderness outside and sighed irritably. - I wish I had killed him, slowly and painfully. - He spoke in a way that sounded like a child complaining about not being able to open a birthday present.
Han Xiao's lips trembled, and he wasn't sure if Lin Wei Xian would thank him if she knew.
He ignored that and advanced.
Ringo, bloodstained and naked, was stopped by Han Xiao, who threw him a change of clothes he picked up along the way. - Put these on, the smell of blood might help our enemies.
Ringo looked at his clothes and shrugged, taking off his pants right there. Han Xiao rolled his eyes and sighed. - Let me know if you're going to put on a show.
-Dude, I've been naked so many times in front of mad scientists that my modesty level is really low now. - Ringo laughed lightly, amused, he dressed quickly.
Still a white outfit, slightly tight because he was tall and strong, but it fit. Now he wore white pants with a black shirt, white jacket and white boots.
His tan skin from constant UV exposure during the experiments and his shaved hair made him look like a plainclothes soldier.
Sighing, he climbed onto the other side of the Jeep, while Han Xiao was surprised he didn't want to drive.
Ringo looked at him and said. - Go ahead, I'm not a good driver.
Han Xiao shrugged, finding it easy to talk to Ringo, unlike what he'd expected from the lunatic.
He gathered his things and walked away, this time feeling much more at ease with Six by his side.
As long as the Germinal's Leader didn't come, they would be fine.
The engine roared as the Jeep skidded on the dirt and advanced through the forest.
Ringo laughed and grabbed a can of sausages, opening it, and eating happily. - Holy shit! I never thought sausages would taste so good before.
Ringo offered it to Han Xiao, who glanced briefly, took one, and ate it, nodding. - Good.
-Fuck, I want three liters of soda, three hot dogs, two hamburgers, an extra-large fries, and a smoked ham and pineapple pizza. - Ringo groaned as he imagined a table of "delicacies".
Han Xiao swallowed hard and his eyes narrowed, accelerating the car a little, already speeding away. He also glanced at Ringo, who was eating while he drove at breakneck speed, oblivious.
-Don't you feel sick? - he asked doubtfully. Although he liked to pretend to be unaware of his "unorthodox" driving, he was fully aware of its effects, he had trained hard for this, after all.
-Sick? No, they spun me around in one of those G-force centrifuge machines. I passed out several times, but now even the fastest speed doesn't bother me. - Ringo shrugged.
Han Xiao's lips trembled. He was tempted to ask what else they did, but he felt it wasn't very polite.
-What are you going to do now? - Han Xiao asked suddenly.
-Well... what's your name again? - Ringo remembered he hadn't asked Han Xiao's name, and it would be awkward to call him by it directly.
- Han Xiao. - he said calmly.
-Well, are you a test subject too? - Ringo continued.
-Yes... I'm the first. - Han Xiao nodded.
-Well, then you're Zero. I heard Lin Wei Xian mention you. - Saying that name, Ringo became even more unhappy.
Han Xiao didn't comment, but it was an agreement.
-Well, I'll call you Han. I'm Ringo Jones, or Six, you can decide for yourself what to call me. - Ringo commented indifferently, then gave a manic smile. - My plans now? Get stronger, fuck Germinal, and take down a certain redhead.
Han Xiao's eyes glinted slightly at the last one. - Hila?
-Yes... I owe her a lot. - His manic smile grew more dangerous.
Han Xiao was silent for a moment, unsure of what to say, sensing that Ringo probably harbored a grudge against Hila. - She... she didn't mean to do this, her sister is a hostage of the organization.
Ringo looked at Han Xiao, who tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white, and he already regretted speaking a little.
-Relax, I can hear your nervousness and smell your fear. I'm not going to kill you. I still owe you one for getting me out of there.- Ringo spoke calmly, relaxed as the wind blew past his bald head.
Han Xiao breathed an inward sigh of relief, but didn't respond.
-As for Hila... you misunderstood. I don't want to hurt her. Well, I still want to beat her up, but I won't kill her, no... I want her, like a man wants a woman. - Ringo continued, his smile not lewd, but full of obsession and madness.
Han Xiao almost skidded the car, but held on. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Looking at the large, robust Ringo, he remembered Hila's petite figure and wished the woman luck for a moment.
-Without her sister, she'll never accept you. - Han Xiao pointed out, already quickly planning to use Ringo in the future to free Aurora and prevent her from being transformed into Aurora paste.
-Oh, I know, it doesn't matter. I'll get stronger, destroy the Germinal, save the sister, and win the woman over. The plan is simple. - Ringo nodded.
Han Xiao's lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to shout. - "This isn't simple!"
