Chapter 129: The Seductive Mosquito Girl
"Wooo~"
The monster alarm in the city center issued a piercing siren.
"Emergency evacuation alert! Emergency evacuation alert! A large number of insects are invading Z City! Disaster Level is Demon. Before the disaster alert is lifted, all citizens, please do not go outside."
"Repeating: citizens of Z City, please do not go outside."
Buzz buzz!
Swarms of mosquitoes darted wildly through the streets of Z City. If they encountered living beings, they would swarm over them. Their sharp proboscises fiercely stabbed into the creature's skin, sucking crazily. Before long, the living would become dead, sucked dry by the mosquitoes.
Snap!
However, there are always people who aren't afraid of death.
On the usually bustling Chaoyang Street, a habitual thief took advantage of the citizens hiding in their homes because of the alert. He held a crowbar, smashing window after window or prying open the doors of shops, madly rushing into the empty stores to steal money and jewelry.
"Hahaha, because of the alert, there's not a soul around! It's simply a gift from heaven, a freebie for me! Who would actually be bitten to death by mosquitoes?" The habitual thief, carrying his crowbar, looked with satisfaction at a large bag of glittering jewelry on the ground and laughed loudly. "Today's a great haul, all thanks to the mosquitoes! In that case, even if they suck a little of my blood, it's worth it! Consider it a thank you gift."
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of strange black "wind" swiftly blew past, causing him to stumble. The hat on his head was even carried into the sky by the "wind."
The habitual thief looked at his flying hat, surprised and uncertain. "Is it the wind?"
Whoosh!
But, before he could find an answer, that strange black wind came again, directly entangling his body. At this moment, he realized in horror that this was no black wind at all, but clearly an army of bloodsuckers made up of thousands upon thousands of mosquitoes. As soon as these terrifying mosquitoes entangled the habitual thief, they immediately extended their blood-sucking proboscises and bit down on his body.
One...
Two...
A hundred...
A thousand...
Ten thousand...
...
Countless mosquitoes covered the thief's entire body, densely packed. In the blink of an eye, the thief vanished into the black wind, without a trace.
"Ah! Help! Help! Aaaaaa!"
From within the mosquito army came the thief's struggling, hoarse cries for help, but alas, the surrounding area was already deserted. The citizens had long since hidden in their homes; who could hear his cries for help?
Thud!
After a short while, the mosquito army finally had their fill. They tossed the habitual thief aside before taking flight once more to find their next prey. By this time, the thief was already unrecognizable, his whole body dehydrated and shriveled, having been sucked dry of his blood by the mosquito army, becoming a pitiful, desiccated corpse.
In fact, he wasn't the only thief to meet a miserable end. In Z City, some groups of people with wicked ideas took advantage of the time when citizens were panicking and hiding at home to "get rich" on the deserted streets, thinking they could become wealthy overnight. Little did they know, before they could spend their stolen money, the swarms of mosquitoes had already descended, sucking dry every petty thief, robber, and other scoundrel wandering the streets.
In that sense, the mosquito army had even done a good deed.
Of course, besides those who wanted to get rich, there were also heroes of justice on the streets.
Clang, clang!
On the solid concrete road, a figure was running quickly. The figure had handsome and cool features, a head of flowing blond hair, and his whole body was covered in metallic armor. His two rapidly swinging arms were a blazing red color. It was none other than Genos, whom King had encountered before.
Judging from the direction Genos was heading, he was actually chasing the mosquito army. What was strange was that the mosquito army turned a blind eye to this living creature. Well, that's right, Genos is just a metal lump. How suicidal would a mosquito have to be to bite him?
"Hm? They've gathered?"
At a certain moment, Genos, who was chasing the mosquitoes, suddenly stopped, his cold eyes fixed on the black mosquito swarm in mid-air, which had already gathered to the point of resembling a sandstorm. Within the sandstorm, a seductive figure was vaguely visible. Tens of thousands of mosquitoes gathered from all directions and then unhesitatingly plunged into the swarm.
Some indescribable moans came from within the sandstorm.
"Target confirmed!"
Genos stared at the black sphere, unaffected by the strange cries.
"Mmmph~"
After a moment, the cloud-like black mosquito swarm scattered rapidly with a buzzing sound, revealing a graceful figure within.
The figure was generally female in form, with a beautiful and seductive appearance and fair skin. She was alluring and captivating, and possessed many mosquito-like characteristics, such as enlarged, slender limbs and half-meter-long, fine, whip-like hairs covering her arms. Compound eyes on both sides of her head formed a helmet-like shape, and on her forehead was a steel-hardened, sharp proboscis. Behind her, she had six pairs of transparent yet tough wings, allowing her to fly easily through the air.
All the characteristics indicated that this seductive young woman belonged to a non-human species—to be precise, a Mysterious Being.
"Pfft! What are you all doing? Is this how you work? This little amount isn't nearly enough."
"Go and suck some more fresh 'juice' for me."
The mosquito-like Mysterious Being, in her girlish form, gave the order discontentedly. At the same time, she more rapidly absorbed the blood brought by her 'subordinates' to strengthen her body and reach a more perfect state.
"Target locked!"
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly rang in her ears, making her heart skip a beat.
"Incinerate!"
Whoosh!
A ray of fire drew a blazing red trail as it shot towards her.
"Hmm?"
Alarm bells rang in her heart, and the six pairs of transparent wings behind her flapped rapidly. Her graceful figure spun in the air as she narrowly dodged the incoming blast of fire.
This sudden attack enraged her. Her pretty face instantly turned gloomy, and she glared viciously at her attacker—Genos!
"So that's it, I understand. You command the swarm of mosquitoes to suck blood, then have them offer it all to you for your own enjoyment," Genos stated expressionlessly, staring at Mosquito Girl floating in mid-air. He coldly continued, "If you're the one sending signals to the mosquitoes to manipulate them, that would explain why they suddenly migrated as a group. In other words, if I eliminate you, their master, this group of annoying things will naturally disperse."
A sneer formed on Mosquito Girl's delicate face. What an ignorant fool. "Children, fresh food has delivered itself to our door." She pointed her slender, sharp claws at Genos. "Go and suck him dry for me."
Buzz buzz!
Upon receiving the order, the black mosquito swarm, as dark as storm clouds, instantly split into several smaller black sandstorms and charged straight toward Genos. In an instant, the swarm enveloped Genos, and one by one, the mosquitoes extended their ferocious proboscises and bit down on his steel body.
Snap! Snap!
For a moment, countless slight snapping sounds could be heard one after another.
After a short while, once all the mosquitoes had surrounded him, Genos, who was in the middle of the large black sandstorm, said calmly:
"Incinerate!!"
Boom!
A blinding light suddenly erupted, and waves of heat surged into the sky. The black mosquito swarm surrounding Genos was instantly swept away, almost all of them burned to ashes.
