Chapter 1562 — What a Coincidence! He Had Sworn Before Wei Zhao to Protect Gu Mengyao and the Other Two, So Naturally He Must Give It His All

Wu Chengtian was too close; when the masked man's palm came back, there was nowhere to dodge. He could only raise his hand to meet it. Their palms clashed with a muffled thud. Wu Chengtian was unhurt, but inwardly he was shaken to the core!
The masked man's hand skills were no weaker than his own, heir to the Iron Hand Technique though he was! Neither was injured, yet they were evenly matched. This man was at least of early Profound Stage external strength!
Even as Wu Chengtian reeled inwardly, he grew more cautious. Though he was an early Profound Stage fighter who cultivated both inner and outer arts, and seemed a shade stronger than the masked man, his external strength had only recently advanced and was not yet solid. Against this masked man, he held no advantage.
What puzzled Wu Chengtian, though, was that after trading that palm, the masked man paid him no further heed. He turned and reached into the car for Shen Yushu!
"Ah!" Shen Yushu cried out as her arm was seized and she was dragged out of the car.
Instinctively she grabbed at him and tore the mask from his face — for the latest command in Zero One's mind contained no resistance to having his mask pulled off. An Liwen had intended it so: once the masked man lost his mask, Wei Zhao could be smeared with the blame.
"Arrow Brand Bro?" Seeing the masked man's true face, Shen Yushu froze, staring at him in shock. So alike — so very alike! Though in her heart she had long since been certain this man could not be Wei Zhao, the moment she saw his face she could not help crying out "Arrow Brand Bro": "Is it you? It's not you, is it? You wouldn't hurt Xiaoshu, would you?"
Zero One paid no attention to what Shen Yushu said. The hypnotic command he had received today was this: stop a student's car in the street on the day of the college entrance exam. If the car held a boy, break both his hands so that he could not sit the exam.
If the car held a girl, then tear off her clothes and molest her openly in the street. Clearly Shen Yushu was a girl, so Zero One automatically carried out the second command. As for what Shen Yushu was saying, he could not understand it.
Watching from not far off, Da Luozi saw Shen Yushu get out of the car and knew at once that things had gone wrong. He had long since investigated who Shen Yushu was — this girl was one of Wei Zhao's people. Who would have thought Zero One would be so lucky as to stop a random car and catch them?
But it was too late for Da Luozi to intervene. Zero One's commands had been hypnotically implanted beforehand; unless the hypnotist himself were present, no one's words would do any good.
