Chapter 3 So That's How It Is

Fang Senyan suddenly lunged out, his body stretching in the air. Even at this moment, two bizarre worms writhed in the air before suddenly ejecting, tearing off two clumps of flesh from his body, but unable to stop his momentum in the slightest.

But what was astonishing was that Fang Senyan was not lunging toward Ritts' headless body, but at a seemingly useless patch of empty ground beside it. If any bystanders witnessed Fang Senyan's actions, most would think he had gone mad.

7 West's sharp blade tore through the air and dense white mist, then slashed straight down.

Yes! Fang Senyan's slash was no mistake, but aimed at something else: the head that Ritts had torn off and discarded before the battle! Its function seemed to be to release the white mist, and then it remained motionless. Why was Fang Senyan attacking it?

As the dull sound of the blade tearing through the air reverberated, the seemingly broken and battered head miraculously bounced up. Eight spider-like steel claws suddenly sprang from the severed neck, scuttling away, narrowly avoiding Fang Senyan's slash.

However, Fang Senyan had been planning and scheming for so long, he must have prepared multiple backup plans in his mind. The blade missed and struck the ground, scattering a few sparks. Still in mid-air, Fang Senyan immediately pressed his left hand on the ground, using it as a support to perform a forward roll, then followed up with a soccer player's powerful kick, slamming his foot into the head!

Fang Senyan's strength was considerable at this time, and the power of this kick was imaginable. The head was kicked five or six meters away, then crashed heavily into the nearby wall, bounced off, and made a dull, sickening "thud".

And ever since the head hit the wall, the headless body had remained stationary, ceasing all movement. Only those disgusting worms continued to writhe like snakes, chasing after Fang Senyan.

However, given their crawling speed, even ordinary Earthlings could outrun them, let alone Fang Senyan. These worms were clearly unaccustomed to Earth's oxygen-rich environment, so after wriggling for a few minutes, they collapsed, decomposing and rotting at an alarming rate, leaving behind only a few puddles of slime.

Fang Senyan immediately pursued the direction in which the head had bounced, only to see that after landing, although four of its mechanical steel legs were broken, it still managed to stand wobbly on the remaining four, staggering forward as if drunk, trying to escape. Fang Senyan smiled contemptuously, grabbed the head by its hair, and lifted it up:

"Mr. Ritts, you now have two choices..."

Fang Senyan was only halfway through his sentence when the head suddenly spat out a mouthful of milky white fluid, laced with blood, from its mouth with several teeth missing. It splattered onto Fang Senyan's face, much like a heroic and unyielding individual facing the invading Japanese, spitting a mouthful of bloody phlegm in defiance.

Fang Senyan sighed and said:

"Very well, it seems you have made the worst possible choice."

Fang Senyan examined the head, then grabbed it by the hair and shook it violently in the air. Then, he reached behind the head's ear, gently pressed, and immediately saw white gas spewing from the head's nostrils and ear holes, accompanied by a "hissing" sound.

Then, a bizarre thing happened. Mr. Ritts' face suddenly stiffened, and then, like a mask, popped open from left to right, revealing the secret beneath.

There was a very small and miniature cockpit, where a peanut-sized person sat. Its hands hung limply on either side, palms facing two pink crystal balls, seemingly using telekinesis to control the crystal balls and perform a series of operations.

The little person's skin looked like that of a silkworm: grayish-white, rough, but soft. The most impressive thing was its eyes, which almost occupied one-third of its entire face.

This was the real Mr. Ritts: the polite Earthling bartender with a triple identity, Ritts the Trisolaran observer and researcher on Earth, Ritts the Trisolaran Second-Class Military Officer stationed on Earth, Defender Ritts.

"For anyone who wants to kill me, I will deal with them in the same way, whether these guys are aliens or Earthlings," Fang Senyan said fiercely, wiping the phlegm from his face. He looked like a thug at this moment.

Mr. Ritts groaned weakly, and a string of white foam escaped from his tiny mouth, looking very much like the foam a fish vomits when taken out of water. Then, the stubborn fellow raised his small hand with only two fingers, bent one finger, and used the remaining finger to gesture a contemptuous middle finger at Fang Senyan.

Faced with such an unyielding bastard, Fang Senyan really felt at a loss for a moment. Just then, a powerful threat suddenly approached rapidly from the distance, and then two bright headlights shone directly into the dense fog.

Fang Senyan's expression changed drastically, and he sighed. This was the perverted aspect of the Men in Black world.

In this parallel world, the United States had become the owner of Earth Port in the universe, and began to try to communicate with aliens. Now, many aliens were coming here with curiosity, or even the mentality of exploring a barbaric land. In order to better understand human life, thousands of aliens used technology to create "Human Active Organic Matter Suits" and lived among humans.

Many people would never have imagined that the sleazy man downstairs who specialized in selling stolen gold watches was actually an interstellar arms dealer, that the buxom cashier in the supermarket was being controlled by a little old man inside her head, or that some dirty tramp might be filled with insectoid aliens in his belly...

In order to manage these aliens, handle conflicts and contradictions between them and humans, and, more importantly, to conceal the facts from the public, the Men in Black appeared. The significance of their existence lay in two functions. Externally, they killed those daring fellows who refused to abide by the rules and interstellar law. Internally, they were responsible for brainwashing witnesses and the public, erasing memories, and preventing the spread of alien information in the world.

For Fang Senyan, he valued the Men in Black's powerful weapons even more. These weapons, which were at least decades ahead of Earth's technology, were deadly to anyone. The Men in Black must have discovered that the "Human Active Organic Matter Suit" worn by this alien had encountered an accident, so they arrived in time.

Fang Senyan pulled Mr. Ritts out of the head's cockpit, then simply found a condom nearby, and with a sense of vindictive pleasure, stuffed the poor Mr. Ritts into it, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Perhaps ordinary humans could not escape the pursuit of the Men in Black, but for a powerful Contractor, as long as they didn't encounter them head-on, they were quite confident in their ability to escape.

After fleeing for two blocks, Fang Senyan hurriedly turned the corner and entered the subway station. For New York, a city that never sleeps, there was never a lack of bustling crowds at any time. Fang Senyan got on the subway, but jumped out at the moment the subway was about to close its doors, then went outside, stole a car, started the engine, and drove towards the mouth of the Hudson River in Jersey City, New Jersey, where the Statue of Liberty was located.

However, after Fang Senyan had driven five or six kilometers, he suddenly heard an indescribably low engine roar beside his ear. It was the sound of the Men in Black's exclusive, outdated-looking but brand-new Cadillac!

Fang Senyan took a deep breath, his heart filled with astonishment. He had clearly escaped successfully, but these guys' efficiency was so high that they had chased after him like mad dogs in an instant.

As he was rapidly calculating in his mind, he noticed in the rearview mirror that in front of the Men in Black's Cadillac, there was actually an old Ford, almost falling apart, frantically trying to escape. Fang Senyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they shouldn't be coming for him. Instead, the person in the old Ford was going to be unlucky. According to Fang Senyan's speculation, the guy in the car was either an alien or a Contractor, and most likely a Contractor.

At this moment, white smoke billowed from the tires of the old Ford, and in the screeching sound of tires rubbing against the road, a figure suddenly broke through the roof of the car and leaped up in mid-air, then curled up into a ball with his hands over his head, and crashed heavily into the car beside the road! With a "bang", a clear dent in the shape of a human appeared on the car's hood, and the windshield shattered directly!

The Men in Black's Cadillac, on the other hand, had performance that surpassed the old Ford by ten thousand times, and had already come to a steady stop in the middle of the road. Two expressionless men in black suits walked out, holding guns that looked quite comical. They were at most one-fifth the size of an ordinary pistol, very similar to miniature toy guns for children under the age of three. However, the strong threat that Fang Senyan sensed emanated from this seemingly toy gun!

The person who jumped out of the car seemed to have been injured, but not fatally. He roared and leaped up from the car, instead of retreating, he frantically stomped on the cars, charging forward. Where he passed, it was a mess, then he bent down and lifted a car, ready to throw it at the other party!

Fang Senyan was watching with great interest when he suddenly heard a rhythmic tapping on the car window beside him. Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead! Someone had approached to such a distance, yet he was completely unaware! Who would do such a thing at this time?
