"Crisis?" After hearing Gusten's words , Lion and Murdoch asked, "What kind of crisis?"

Gusten replied with a pale face:

"You don't have a holographic 3D perception rendering ability like me, so it's understandable that you don't know about this."

Gusten stopped the car, then extended his hands in front of him. A topographic map of the nearby area like the one in the base in Avatar gradually appeared. It displayed the area dozens of kilometers around them in 3D.

Gusten had a dual-proficiency in summoning and sniper. Add to that his ability to draw maps, and he becomes someone very useful in both solo and team battles. No wonder he was selected to become a participant.

"Look at this,"said Gusten coldly. "This is the the New York city morgue. There are three routes leading there. Pay attention to this parking lot. Do you see anything strange?"

Lion nodded and said:

"These three cars were all the same model. It seems a bit strange."

Gusten coldly stated:

"It's not that strange. The back of all three cars have an 'M' logo, and the acronym of the Men in Black is MIB. Although the models of these three cars are old, their internal structure is pretty amazing. Each car can hold up to eight people, and they all have the same standard. What does that remind you of?"

"The three cars contain…reinforcements that K and the guy called Seaman brought?" wondered Lion, "But when we were fighting, those guys didn't show up. Did they run away?"

"That's impossible. All MIB agents are elites that have been brain-washed. Even death won't make them back down!" said Gusten faintly. "The reason they left K without saying a word was because they saw something that caught their full attention……and then, they were completely annihilated!"

"What could it be?" Lion wondered.

Gusten pointed at a spot on the map. The three of them sucked in a cold breath at the same time.

"If that's the case, it's definitely worth the wait."

***********

"Okay. The bloody sheepskin scroll? Yes, yes……That's it."

Sheyan watched as K finished his conversation on the phone. His face was very solemn, but in his heart he was very excited. He felt that his objective was finally achieved.

K stared at Sheyan after the phone call. His face was very solemn, but in his heart he was very relieved. He felt that he had negotiated the greatest return at the smallest cost.

The two men stood there, each to their own thoughts. Sheyan had succeeded so it's time to show his usefulness. He took the initiative to approach K and said:

"The current situation is obvious. There are only 2 possible outcomes regarding Jones the Bug King. One, he gets the Galaxy. Two, he doesn't get the Galaxy."

K nodded:

"Right."

Sheyan smiled and said:

"According to the information I have, Mr. Jones's spacecraft was heavily damaged when he landed. Even if he gets the Galaxy, he must first find a way to return to his country --- wait, no, it should be to his planet."

Upon hearing this piece of news, K's eyes lit up. He immediately grabbed Sheyan and asked:

"Is this for real?"

Sheyan laughed:

"I never lie."

K started to mumble to himself:

"The focus of our plan should be the prince's home, his shop, and the morgue. Besides that, we must strictly monitor all places with known functional spacecrafts."

Sheyan nodded and said:

"Remember to destroy the flying saucers on the World's Fair too. Also, I can provide Mr. Jones's spaceship fragments to prove that he can't flee in the short term. I believe that can buy us some more time from the Arquillians."

K looked up and stared at Sheyan:

"How do you know that the flying saucers on the World's Fair are real?"

Sheyan smiled and said nothing. K said while looking thoughtful:

"Are you targeting that group of aliens who fled to Earth to escape political persecution? Please, they've completely lost their value! Don't you show me that innocent face……"

Sheyan abruptly interrupted K's accusation:

"Let's not waste time. Punctuality is very important to the Arquillians. We must hurry so that they can give us a bit more time, otherwise… What is that?"

A man who walked with an unsteady gait had suddenly appeared at the door. There is an obvious weirdness in the way he moved his limbs. K squinted his eyes:

"That's Bardrov of team A …… at least, he used to be!"

K instinctively fired his gun and the guy was immediately smashed into smithereens. However, a large number of bugs crawled out from the remains of his body and moved towards the both of them. Sheyan tore down the curtain beside him to let sunlight shine onto his body. 'Corrosynthesis' successfully blasted the bugs into pieces.

But right afterwards, two controlled Bugmen appeared at the door. K was starting to regret the fact that he did not bring a rapid-fire gun with him. The gun in his hand now was powerful but the interval between shots was quite long. Under normal circumstances, the energy box would be depleted after 4 shots within a minute.

Sheyan suddenly shouted:

"K, I heard that your driving skills are excellent."

K immediately understood what Sheyan meant. He turned around and jumped out of a window to get to a car, but right after he broke through the window, two antennae hit him on his chest and sent him back. As K struggled to climb up from the ground, his hand furiously wiped at his shirt that was full of sticky mucus.

The next instant, a huge bug broke the wall and walked in. It looked like a cockroach that was dipped in a spoonful of strawberry jam, magnified by a thousand times. There were sharp barbs on its feet. This was the final form of Jones the Bug King. It bellowed from its fat belly.

"Hand over the Galaxy, Earthlings!"

Then, Jones looked at Sheyan:

"Why are you here? Did you come for the Galaxy too?"

Instead of answering, K aimed his gun at Jones the Bug King. However, the reaction of Jones was fast. An antenna suddenly shot out from his mouth to wrap around K's wrist and took the gun away. Jones then swallowed the gun! It even licked its lips in satisfaction. It looked as disgusting as a lizard hunting with its sticky tongue.

"Without a weapon, your threat is reduced to an insignificant level," lamented Sheyan, "But I guess you should have a spare weapon in the car. I'll give you 30 seconds to retrieve the weapon. Then can you come back and save me?"

K looked deep into Sheyan's eyes:

"You're placing too much confidence in this old frame of mine."

Despite saying that, K was already running towards the door. Jones the Bug King roared angrily and instantly chased after K, but Sheyan blocked its path.

Jones stretched out a front leg. A rapid pumping of fluid akin to a hydraulic pump was visible underneath the translucent carapace. It suddenly shot out with a high-speed spin like a giant drill bit, accompanied by a harsh scream. The attacking method of this strange alien was truly unpredictable.

Sheyan blocked with his right arm and took the attack head on. The impact caused him to black out for a moment and spat out a huge amount of blood. His internal organs had also received severe damage. He was flung back by almost five meters. Although Sheyan thought highly of himself, he had to admit that he had lost that round! The power of Jones' attack was far beyond his imagination! Not only that, his right arm was also hanging at a weird angle. It seemed that his forearm was broken.

Sheyan wasn't one who would take things lying down. When he was kicked, he had also thrusted out his sabre to counterattack. The result of the counterattack surprised him. His blade directly pierced into the body of the Bug King without feeling any resistance!

Jones issued a series of painful screams!

"So that's how it is…" Sheyan came to a realisation, "Jones is of the high attack, low defence archetype."

Now that he knew Jones' weakness, Sheyan immediately summoned the dark gold leech to block Jones, then slashed the front left leg of the giant bug. A pale yellow liquid splashed onto '+7 West', producing some foul-smelling smoke. Apparently, Jones' body fluid was highly acidic. The grade of Sheyan's weapon was too low to resist such strong erosion. It's durability continued to drop.

Although Sheyan had kept Jones busy, K still had a very hard time escaping.

That's because Jones had suddenly raised his fat butt like an angry mantis. At the end of its butt were over a dozen transparent threads. The threads seemed to exist in another dimension. They could ignore all the obstacles in the current dimension and connect directly to the Bugmen Jones controlled!

These Bugmen servants were the MIB agents brought by Sheyan. About five of them flocked to K. Their movements were no longer as sluggish as ordinary Bugmen - they were strangely agile. They would occasionally show their red, slender forked tongue. Sheyan was held up by Jones and couldn't go over to help.

At this time of crisis, the sound of gunshots rang in the air!

Dull, precise, monotonous gunshots!
