Cyberknight: One Path

⁕ The Lynching Game (part 3)

[Otvetin] - "I can understand why comrade Senju call her sensei. She's really on another level in certain areas. "

Meanwhile, Jerry scanned the sky around the house window with binoculars and was quick to notice the cargo ship landing not far from them inside the town.

[Jerry] - "Hey, Harry, they are here! "

Said Jerry as he waved his hand.

Upon hearing no response, Jerry turned around to see Harry fast asleep on the couch. With a furious look in his eyes, Jerry threw the binoculars at Harry and hit him on the head.

[Harry] - "OW! Mother fucker! What the fuck, bro! "

Yelled Harry as he stumbled up from the couch.

[Jerry] - "They are here, you idiot! "

[Harry] - "Ah, fuck! This soon? "

Said Harry as he struggled toward the window.

[Jerry] - "Head to your position already! "

Yelled Jerry as he pushed Harry down into the basement.

With one last look at his surroundings, Jerry activated his ability before walking into the living room. As soon as he left the area, the basement somehow was shifted to the front door of the mansion while the living room entrance now faced the garden access.

Meanwhile, Kadyn and her team moved down the street toward where Khalid last transmitted his message. However, all they found was a parked driveway where a few children were playing street hockey with their friends. While the others investigated the surrounding area, Kadyn's eyes were analyzing every corner of the street for clues.

Just as everything began to appear normal, Kadyn noticed Jerry peeking at them from the corner of his window. Discreetly, without letting Jerry realize she had seen him, Kadyn alerted the rest of her team through hand signals. Slowly, the group moved closer toward Jerry's hideout until they got close enough to get a good look at Jerry.

Suddenly, without alerting the rest, Kadyn entered into acceleration mod before dashing into the mansion through the window. Upon seeing Jerry's crystals on his forearms, Kadyn immediately confirmed her suspicion and went in to disarm him. However, while Jerry appeared as a statue in Kadyn's perspective, she could feel that something else was moving at the same speed as her.

[Kadyn] - "That feeling... "

Said Kadyn as she turned to stare at nothing.

Suddenly, an invisible hand grabbed her by the neck before slamming her against the ground. As Kadyn stabbed the hand with her blade, she realized in shock that her anti-material blade was creating sparks against it. Whatever was that thing that was attacking her, its durability could allow it to withstand even Kadyn's mythic anti-material blade. Not to mention how its speed can match Kadyn's own even during accelerated perception.

In a panic, Kadyn kicked the invisible assailant and was lucky enough to dislodge his grip around her neck. Without losing a second, Kadyn rushed back toward the window just as her acceleration ended.

[Kadyn] - "Be careful! There is an invisible attacker with- "

Before Kadyn could finish her sentence, the invisible man dragged her back into the house.

[Senju] - "Kadyn-sensei! "

In a dry motion, the invisible man slammed Kadyn against the ground before Jerry approached her.

[Jerry] - "You are clearly not a crystal user. And... You look quite familiar for some reason. "

[Kadyn] - "No, we have never met before, ya bloody asshole! "
