Chapter 646: Chapter 337: In the Special Effects World, You Can’t Fight Monsters with Your Physical Body_2

Leng Wanbai stepped out in an elegant wedding dress, her eyes filled with caution.

"What a strange monster."

"It’s not a monster, it’s an abnormality!"

Qin Shou calmly walked over to the trembling store clerk curled up in the corner, casually tossing down a black diamond card.

"Calculate the shop’s losses and charge the card."

"I... I... Okay... Just a moment..."

The clerk, still shaken, looked at the black card in her hand, her eyes lighting up with sudden greed.

Jackpot!

Quickly regaining her composure, she turned off the alarms, waved off the security guards who had come to investigate, and called the store manager.

"Hello, manager... manager... beep beep beep..."

The call abruptly cut off, and the bright mall was suddenly swallowed by darkness.

"What’s going on? A power outage?"

"This mall is so unprofessional. No backup power?"

"Forget it, let’s leave. This place sucks..."

After a brief moment of commotion, the darkness was replaced by a blood-red glow. A sinister, foreboding atmosphere engulfed the entire mall, strange grinding noises echoing from unseen corners.

"Hiss... What’s going on? Is the air conditioning turned up too high?"

"Idiot, this is an abnormality. If the power’s out, there’s no air conditioning!"

"Quick, call ERP..."

"No use, there’s no signal here..."

"Waaah... Mommy, I’m scared..."

"Shh, Little Treasure, don’t be scared. Mommy’s here..."

"This is all your fault! Dragging me to the mall for no reason, and now we’ve run into an abnormality..."

"Zhang Qiu, what’s that supposed to mean? Are you trying to break up with me?"

"Stop arguing, both of you! Keep your voices down—I think there’s something near us..."

"Hiss, who? Who’s behind me..."

"Aaaah! Help me!"

Terror rippled through the crowd as a spine-chilling scream echoed. The flashlight apps on everyone’s phones flickered a few times before going dark, plunging the panicked mob into chaos as they scattered in all directions, driven by sheer fear.

"Bzzzzz..."

A white glow transformed into an air shield that enveloped the crowd. The warmth of the light energy dispelled the darkness and soothed the terror deep within their hearts.

"What is this..."

"So warm..."

"Mommy, I’m sleepy."

"If you’re tired, Little Treasure, go to sleep. When you wake up, we’ll be home."

"Mm-hmm."

Inside the light energy shield, the crowd huddled together. As their fear subsided, their rationality gradually returned.

"Everyone, look! Over there..."

At the sound of the exclamation, everyone instinctively looked outside the glowing barrier at the two figures.

"A bride! Mommy, it’s a bride!"

"Little Treasure, go to sleep..."

"I don’t want to sleep. I want to see the bride..."

...

Outside the light energy shield, Qin Shou calmly withdrew his hand, scanning the eerie silhouette within the blood-red glow with a light chuckle.

"Xiao Bai, this thing doesn’t have a physical form; it seems to be a creature entirely made of spiritual power. Want to give it a shot?"

Leng Wanbai’s lips twitched. "A creature entirely made of spiritual power? That would make it at least on the level of a Demigod Realm expert. Are you sure I can handle it?"

"Just try. Even though it’s made of spiritual power, its strength shouldn’t reach Demigod Realm. You might just have a bit more trouble, that’s all."

"And what about you?" Leng Wanbai glanced at Qin Shou.

Qin Shou raised his hand, summoning a magenta glow in the void. A Magenta Camera materialized at his waist.

"Me? I’ll just play around as usual!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood-red glow suddenly intensified, and the dense silhouettes started moving, letting out bone-chilling howls as they stiffly advanced on the light energy shield.

Leng Wanbai’s eyes grew cold as light energy surged from her body. She was about to transform into the Blade Queen.

"Wait!"

Qin Shou stopped Leng Wanbai, tossing out a small, cutesy white bat.

"Since this is a tokusatsu world, use this."

"Ka-ka-ka..."

The white bat flapped its wings and flew to Leng Wanbai’s side. She expertly grabbed it and placed it on her hand.

"Let’s bite!"

"Bzzzzz..."

With a flash of light, snow-white armor covered her entire body, the crimson glow of a bat-shaped visor gradually dimming.

Kiva-la

"Boom..."

Light energy exploded as Leng Wanbai leaped into the air, vanishing into the depths of the blood-red glow like a streak of light.

"Ka-ka-ka..."

On the other side, the remnants of shattered "silhouettes" emitted bone-rattling grinding noises as they reassembled at an alarming speed, swarming toward Qin Shou.

"Here they come," Qin Shou said with a light chuckle. He inserted a card into the camera, light and shadow converging as multiple cards shot outward, shattering several silhouettes that reflected off their heads.

"De-de-de-de... Emperor Rider!"

The green glow of his eyes flickered to life as Qin Shou drew his sword. With a few casual slashes, sparks flew and mannequin limbs scattered everywhere.

He utilized neither spiritual power nor light and dark energy, not even the full strength of his physical body—just the abilities of the armor itself.

After all, in a tokusatsu world, using bare hands to fight monsters wasn’t the way to do it, right?

Several mannequin limbs fell outside the light energy shield. Seeing this, the crowd shuddered with cold dread, their scalps tingling.

"Those are... mannequins from the clothing store!"

"Oh my God, what are these things..."

"The mannequins have come to life..."

As panicked cries rose, increasingly bizarre mannequins emerged from the corners of the blood-red glow, completely surrounding the light energy shield.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Under the relentless barrage of malformed mannequins, faint ripples shimmered along the surface of the light energy shield. Though it remained unyielding, the people inside couldn’t relax—their hearts were clenched in fear, and their screams grew more piercing, dreading that the shield might eventually give way.

"Clang!!"

The Pink Knight flipped into view, slashing with a blaze of sparks, dozens of eerie mannequins shattering to pieces in her wake.

As the light from the shield illuminated the area, the crowd finally got a clear look at the Pink Knight.

"Look! Another mysterious warrior!"

"We’re saved!"

"Mommy, that warrior is so ugly..."

"Hush, Little Treasure, no talking about the truth..."

Qin Shou: "..."

Forget it, he’s just a kid...

"Bzzzzz..."

He swapped the card, and red photon blood coated his body.

"Masked Control - Faiz!"

"Beep-beep-beep... Extreme Speed Mode!"

With his chest armor flipping up to his shoulders, Qin Shou turned into a black-and-red blur, impossible to follow with the naked eye as he weaved across the mannequin horde.

"Splat, splat, splat..."

In an instant, countless mannequins shattered simultaneously, their blackened remains disintegrating amidst showering sparks.

"Boom..."

The crowd couldn’t process the scene, their widened eyes frozen in disbelief.

"What speed..."

"A mystery warrior with changing forms..."

"He wiped out hundreds of abnormalities in an instant... Just who is he?"

At that moment, a spine-chilling screech echoed from the crimson depths. Bat-shaped radiant trails started spreading as the entire building shook violently.

Qin Shou shook his head, black and white Tai Chi forming under his feet. The tremors vanished as the energy reinforced the mall’s structure.

"Caw, caw, caw..."

Moments later, an intensely thick blood-colored mist darted away, with a white knight chasing closely behind.

Along the way, mannequins were drawn into the mist, which grew larger by the second. Soon, it smashed through the ceiling, creating a gaping hole in the mall.

Debris rained down as the bloody glow faded away.

When the tremors ceased and no more debris fell, the light energy shield gradually dissipated.

"Click-click-click..."

As the lights flickered back on, Qin Shou gave the surveillance camera a cheeky peace sign before summoning a grey spatial portal and stepping through.

"Wait! You there, mysterious warrior! Are you with ERP?" someone shouted.

Qin Shou waved nonchalantly, smiling. "I’m just a passing Masked Rider. Don’t mind me."

With that, he stepped into the portal, vanishing from everyone’s sight.

...

Outside the blood-streaked mall, sirens blared as armed personnel surrounded the area.

Wind Shadow Hero, Black Rhinoceros Hero, and Golden Armor Warrior were already transformed and waiting on standby.

"Zhang Yida, you’d better not screw this up. Thousands of lives are at stake this time, got it?" the commander sternly warned.

"Commander, I go by Zhang Wei now, not Zhang Yida..." The red-gold figure lowered his head awkwardly.

"Silence! I don’t care what you call yourself. Just don’t screw up. If anything goes wrong, even if you’re the only one who can control the Golden Armor Warrior, I’ll still have you fired!"

"Uh... Relax, Commander, this time I’ll prove myself."

Zhang Yida stood at attention and saluted.

Not far away, ERP personnel observed with amusement.

"Dong Shan, that’s the Golden Armor Warrior?" Beimiao asked dismissively.

Dong Shan nodded. "Yes, the combat statistics for the Golden Armor Warrior aren’t lower than ours. But its wielder can’t draw out its full potential, which makes him a joke."

Beimiao sneered. "The Youma Rescue Team actually tolerates this kind of loser?"

"Enough, Beimiao. Now’s not the time to look down on others. Stay alert and follow the commander’s orders."

Just then, Meizhen’s warning came through the headset, which only served to irritate Beimiao further.

He was about to snap back when a sudden surge of blood-red mist erupted from the mall. Out of it burst a massive figure, smashing through the walls amidst collapsing concrete and rubble.

Standing thirty meters tall, the giant blood-colored mannequin loomed over them. Armed personnel gazed in stunned terror. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Attention, all units! The abnormality must not breach the perimeter and threaten the city..."

"Attack!"

Before orders could officially be issued, a shadowy figure leaped ahead of everyone else.

"Beimiao, wait..."

"Wild Waterfall Strike!"
