Chapter 797 - 794: The Dormitory's Rope Master
"Let me catch my breath first…""My dorm mate, who has such god-like combat power to lay the fully armed Rangers flat? Even without the Time Travel Machine and beehive, just using an electromagnetic gun, isn't something an ordinary person can accomplish, right? And it was against a whole team, no less."
Ansheng asked with a bewildered look on his face.
Ansheng had witnessed the combat power of the Forest Rangers first-hand.
Before their automated equipment ran out, Su Qiyuan and Bai Tao's team could even race and fight against the Fungal Parasitic Beasts on the highway, temporarily suppressing the beasts.
With full gear, the Rangers wouldn't even flinch facing an Overlord Level Spirit Beast head-on.
But now, the Golden Leopard said that among Ah Qing's dorm mates, someone could smash through the Rangers and, along the way, also take down a fully armed logistics team.
"It's that short one; never mind. Just come upstairs with me and take a look, alright? I don't even know how to explain it. Wang Qiqi is still taking their statements..."
The Golden Leopard thought for a moment and wasn't sure how to describe the scene, so he led Master Fuli upstairs.
Ansheng, showing a probing expression, followed the Golden Leopard and clambered through the window into the room.
As soon as he entered the room, Ansheng witnessed an absurd scene.
Several fully armed logistics support team members, wearing bulletproof vests, were tied up with climbing ropes in a tortoiseshell style, their arms and legs bound behind them, unable to move at all.
Sitting on the sofa nearby was a Ranger in plain clothes, with a metal case beside him. He was tremblingly smoking a cigarette, holding his face in his hands, with a look of despair.
"Holy cow, what happened here?"
Ansheng was full of question marks, looking at the Golden Leopard, then at the staff on the ground as if they had just finished an SM session.
"Are you asking about the one still trembling? He's our Security Bureau's Gold Medal Forest Ranger, having won gold twice at exchange meets, and has had a record of suppressing Defender Spirit Beasts with beehives and chemical weapons."
The Golden Leopard chuckled and said, "He's probably thinking about how to explain to his colleagues about the glorious achievement of being hung on a tree by a little girl in the forest..."
The Golden Leopard, speaking of this, waved to another member of the logistics support team and pointed to the surveillance room, then at the downed logistics personnel, indicating them to show the relevant surveillance footage to Master Fuli.
Half an hour had already passed since the incident. Momo and her group's trail and marks up the mountain had been thoroughly investigated and even turned into a makeshift 3D backtracking image for case analysis and assessment reexamination materials.
The logistics team took out a tablet, set it up on the desk for Master Fuli, and offered a bottle of ice-cold cola.
The video started playing, with the timestamp showing that the incident happened at 8:53.
In the winter, Lingren was dressed in a single layer of clothing and hung from a tree with a black leather handbag slung over her shoulder.
A rope was tied to the tree trunk, Lingren's legs entwined around it, one hand gripping the upper end of the rope, sliding down from the treetop, holding a phone aloft with a slightly dazed expression as she filmed something.
Maybe it was because she was in a daze that she didn't notice the patrol drone approaching, thereby exposing herself.
And the object of her filming was Master Fuli on the podium, raising his arms and shouting about the revival of spiritual particles.
The drone detected the intruder and immediately sounded the alarm, notifying nearby Rangers and the logistics support team.
Lingren's figure swayed, using the sliding force of the rope to spin around the tree trunk, leveraging her flight like a flower thief described in ancient times, her movements agile as she fled through the trees towards Momo.
Both sides clashed, and the Security Bureau seemed to recognize the intruders and didn't use hot weapons, just electromagnetic guns for deterrence.
Lingren drew out hooks and ropes from behind her, tossing three pairs of them to hook onto tree trunks, then using the ropes to scoop up and secure three logistic personnel to the trees.
And the Gold Medal Forest Ranger, mentioned by the Golden Leopard, stepped into the battlefield only to step into a snare and was lifted and hung from a tree.
Momo, on her side, broke through with Yuyu, and the logistics team members blocking her didn't fly up, although they couldn't stop Momo, who attacked barehanded and targeted the lower body.
Until a gunshot rang out.
Lingren, Momo, and Yuyu, unwilling and reluctant, held their hands on their heads and squatted down.
"This is ridiculous. Who in the world can perform such rope artistry, some reincarnated spider demon?" Ansheng looked at the Golden Leopard, his face full of disbelief.
"According to our investigation, Lingren has received several commendations for bravery."
The Golden Leopard looked at Master Fuli with a strange expression and said, "In several aluminum and copper bars, she heroically subdued several criminals with criminal records – four women and three men – initially subduing them with her classmates using glass bottles."
"Later on, I'm not sure, but during custody triage, doctors found marks on the criminals' bodies."
"The weapons she used were likely ropes carried in her handbag and climbing gear."
"She mastered this rope artistry in high school, and after entering the Xinxing Agricultural Science College, she honed her skills, which led to the 'spider demon reincarnation' feat we witnessed tonight..."
Neither the teachers nor students in the agricultural field are permanently confined to the office setting.
Fieldwork classes include rock climbing knowledge and skills for quickly climbing trees to evade wild beasts, as well as using impact drills.
Daily consumption of self-grown spirit plants, along with supplementary lessons from professional course instructors, led Lingren to gradually comprehend some bizarre things.
"It's just too bizarre..."
"I've heard stories of enlightenment on battlefields, hands bound and finding revenge on armies of black assassins, and those who, broke as they were, gave up their dignity for five bucks, but how did Lingren comprehend combat rope artistry in a bar..."
"What has the Xinxing Agricultural Science College done to deserve gathering all dragon and phoenix prodigies into one dorm room together?" Ansheng showed astonishment on his face, rubbing his head.
Though Ansheng already knew Ah Qing's dorm was full of prodigies.
He truly didn't expect that Lingren, who usually seemed more like a crybaby, asking for hugs more than himself, was the one with the strongest combat power in the dorm.
"Isn't it kind of alright? The young girl used knowledge of physics and pulleys to create her own school, coming up with a rope art suitable for forest terrain," commented the Golden Leopard, not quite agreeing with Master Fuli's view of this technique as strange; it's strong for trap-making.
Even if you gave her time, not even a minute after a Spirit Beast entered a trap she'd set, it would be strung up for a sound beating.
"All we can say is... the fearsome power of a master combatant."
Ansheng shook his head helplessly and asked, "Can I bail them out now?"
"If they wanted to see my lecture, couldn't they just have asked instead of using such extreme measures..."
"And you didn't tell them you were going to set up a base camp seminar at the ecology base!" The Golden Leopard chuckled, teasing Master Fuli's usual sly behavior.
"What slyness? I always report my itinerary to Ah Qing before leaving."
"Only thing is, the wicked navigation system often misdirects, leading me to stumble upon strange occurrences, that's all."
