Chapter 419: Chapter 248: Ghost Bell vs. Rainbow Wings, Black Cocoon’s Reinforcements
As they left the Whale Terrarium, Cezar thought about bringing all the fragments Li Qingping had used before as a memento, so he spent quite some effort, and finally found the "Divine Concealment Umbrella" and "Mimic Puppet" among the common-level fragments in the royal vault.
But what surprised him was that these two Anecdote Fragments quickly came into use.
With a "click", the card shattered. A white light streaked and disappeared, followed by a crooked gray-white puppet appearing on the Shark’s back, wobbling like a tumbler.
"Mimic Puppet, turn into the shape of Ghost Bell!" Cezar commanded the puppet, pointing to Ghost Bell in the distance, "Hurry!"
Upon hearing this, the Mimic Puppet lifted its hollow eyes from the Shark’s back and turned to look at Ghost Bell, who was kneeling on the ground, as if trying to memorize his appearance. Then, the puppet’s body began to change.
Skin tone, organs, hair volume, body shape, even the clothing and wounds on Ghost Bell were replicated. Finally, it transformed into a man indistinguishable from Ghost Bell, clutching the gushing blood, kneeling on the Shark’s back, looking ferocious and indignant.
"Enough!" Yaguba roared, "Cezar, we’ll use the Divine Concealment Umbrella to sneak close to the ruins and swap Ghost Bell out with the Mimic Puppet!"
"But how exactly should we do it?!" Cezar furrowed his brow, glancing up at the girl on the Ice Cliff, "That girl is still watching! She won’t just let us swap Uncle Ghost Bell out, should we perhaps try to stop the comet?!"
"Don’t worry, my friend will intervene." Yaguba said, "Trust me, Cezar."
In its heart, it knew a confrontation with the Rainbow Wing Member here was to be avoided at all costs.
If this Rainbow Wing Member was from the Salvation Society faction, their backup might be lurking nearby; if not, who could say for sure whether there were other Rainbow Wing Members nearby?
They could handle one Catastrophe Level, but two Catastrophe Levels were uncertain.
"Alright then, Yaguba, you bring me close to Ghost Bell." Cezar said, eyes fixed on the impending comet.
Meanwhile, in the distance, the Restraint Incarnation moved.
The Incarnation climbed from the pirate ship’s peak, spreading its weight across all the restraints, shooting forward along the mast, extending a pitch black restraint in mid-air to accurately hook onto the upward extending ice surface.
It tugged on the restraint overhead, wobbling, hanging upside down beneath the ice surface. Then the Black Cocoon lifted the Restraint Belt Color Change form, appearing under the night moon.
On top of the Ice Cliff, You Ruirui was slightly startled, shifting her gaze from the amusement park ground to the unexpected visitor hanging beneath her feet.
"Hey hey hey! Miss, how about we become friends?" The Restraint Incarnation shouted beneath the night sky, "It’s my first time seeing a white-haired girl, but it doesn’t look dyed or like albinism, it seems like an aftereffect of superpowers?"
"You are..." You Ruirui looked at him expressionless, "Black Cocoon?"
Taking advantage of the moment when the white-haired girl’s attention was drawn, Yaguba shot towards the ruins like a rocket, closing in endlessly on the slumped Ghost Bell.
Above him, the comet was just about to fall, casting a vast shadow that turned the ruins into the darkest of places.
Ghost Bell hung his head low, crimson pupils reflecting the shadow-covered earth, silent.
Yaguba charged at him.
On the Shark’s back, Cezar held the Divine Concealment Umbrella, ensuring neither his nor Yaguba’s figure could be detected by the white-haired girl. At the moment they neared Ghost Bell, Cezar suddenly raised his right hand, grabbing Ghost Bell and pulling him onto the Shark’s back.
Once inside the umbrella’s shielded range, Ghost Bell closed his eyes, slowly collapsing on the Shark’s back. Ice spikes pierced his chest, causing massive blood loss; a regular person might have died long ago, surviving till now by sheer will.
"Great, we’ve rescued the Clock Tower Freak!" Yaguba grinned, revealing a row of sharp little teeth, "Cezar, quickly release the puppet!"
"Sorry for the trouble, puppet."
Cezar shouted then kicked the "Mimic Puppet" from the Shark’s back!
The next second, the puppet indistinguishable from Ghost Bell rolled into the ruins.
It quickly got up, kneeling, mimicking Ghost Bell’s earlier posture, head bowed, silently awaiting its fate of being crushed by the comet.
Moments later, the white-haired girl on the Ice Cliff glanced sideways, watching the Mimic Puppet being crushed by the falling comet.
In that moment, the world was dead silent, as though they had returned to the Cambrian period, like winter suddenly descending. A cold current swept outward, seemingly intent on enveloping the entire amusement park.
"Oh...this is truly astonishing."
Even suspended high above, the Restraint Incarnation shivered slightly from the cold current coming from beneath.
After the icy frenzy passed, the comet’s shadow was gone, leaving only the ruins of the Ferris wheel, along with all surrounding facilities, buried in a huge crater on the ground.
The myriad ice fragments inside gradually melted, turning into white streams of air ascending to the sky, making the air within a hundred meters suddenly colder.
You Ruirui tilted her head, poked her earpiece, then said: "S-level danger sequence, Superpower Felon - ’Ghost Bell’, has been killed. No civilian casualties during the operation."
Afterwards, she added, "Superpower Felon - ’Black Cocoon’ found on site."
"I’m a felon?" Black Cocoon waved a restraint at her, "I look so cute, do you think I’d do bad deeds?"
"Please don’t resist...it can save trouble."
Saying so, You Ruirui turned her ice blue eyes, staring unmovingly at the black mummy swaying in the wind.
"You’re right, I won’t resist, actually I never intended to resist." Black Cocoon said softly, raising a restraint to wave at her, "See you next time, Miss. Though I’m still unclear of your name, but you killed one of my partners."
It paused, "As compensation... I believe you should become my new partner."
With that, the Restraint Incarnation’s body gradually dispersed, turning into a mist of steam.
You Ruirui was slightly startled, her ice blue pupils flashed.
The next instant, the Incarnation’s body was suddenly covered layer upon layer by ice, as if a fish frozen beneath the ice.
Yet even so, the Incarnation’s body continued to irresistibly disintegrate.
It finally vanished completely.
