Chang Yan sat on the Titan mech, looked meaningfully at a certain spot in the room, and then walked into the lens.
Do you think your camera is well hidden?
I'm not one of those weaklings whose faces can't even be detected by electromagnetic waves.
In another city, Young Master Wang stared into deep thought as he looked at the empty room on the screen.
He was saying that to me; he had long ago realized that I wasn't a good-for-nothing.
How am I, a fake loser, supposed to turn things around like this...?
After thinking for a while, Young Master Wang turned off the screen.
Sigh, this separation of the corresponding bureau will probably result in a huge loss.
In any case, since Mr. Changyan is so powerful, it's time for me to prepare an apology gift.
"Uncle Wang, let's get started. Those traitors who tipped off others will be given to a certain monster as a gift."
"Understood, young master, I'll take care of it right away."
"No, I'll do it myself. I've been lying low for too long. It's time to show them what it means for a sleeping bear to wake up!"
Chapter 221 A Chaotic Dance of Demons
(I forgot to post the Terminator image yesterday, but I've added it to the previous chapter.)
(Also, why are there so many encouraging comments for other novels, while mine are either short and weak or criticized? As a newcomer, I guess I'm not very good at handling plots, so for my new book... I will write a truly dark turn of events.)
--------
"Not here yet?"
While lying in bed, Xu Hang connected to the mental network of the corresponding bureau and asked questions within it.
After someone told them that someone was coming to take revenge, the relevant department immediately dispatched personnel after discussion to prepare an ambush and arrest Chang Yan.
As for who started it... does it matter?
Captain Xu is a talent favored by the head of this branch of the Yingxi Bureau. His master is also a veteran of the martial arts world, who, although retired for many years, still wields considerable influence. Can an outsider compare to one of our own? No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than the entire Yingxi Bureau?
Fairness? There has never been such a thing as fairness in this world! Those who yearn for true fairness are all losers who believe that as long as they start from the same point, they can surpass others, not realizing that a loser will always be a loser! Even if you start from the same point, you will stop halfway for various reasons, and while continuing to look up at others, you will complain about the injustice of fate.
Although the eldest daughter of the Zhang family had gone a bit too far, the main objective of this operation, after receiving compensation from the Zhang family, remained arrest, rather than direct killing.
He's a talented individual with both potential and ability; it's a shame such a person isn't in the right department. He's so young; with proper education, there's still time.
These are the deputy director's exact words.
To put it bluntly, it's about causing trouble for the bureau chief and adding fresh blood to his own faction.
He has been eyeing the director's position for a long time.
"It seems not yet, they're probably still observing, but it should be soon, that guy doesn't have a good temper."
"Yes, I understand."
Just as Xu Hang disconnected from the mental network and was about to continue conserving his energy, he suddenly smelled a strange odor coming from his nose, and the feel of the pillow, sheets, and blankets became completely different.
There's a strong musty smell. Where is it coming from?
As soon as Xu Hang opened his eyes, he saw a ceiling that was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.
The once bright and clean ceiling of the hospital is now covered in stains and mold.
???
What's going on? What happened? Did I travel through time?
As young people in this new era, we have naturally been exposed to the internet, so we shouldn't read too many time-travel novels.
Xu Hang, like a salted fish, jumped out of bed and stared blankly at the decaying surroundings, but instinctively became alert.
Where am I? How did I get here? Did I not travel to another world, but to the future? Otherwise, how do you explain why this hospital is so abandoned?
Suddenly, a mental network connected to his mind. At first, he instinctively tried to resist this mental power, but after sensing the familiar fluctuations, he relaxed his mind and connected to the mental network.
As soon as I entered, it felt like I had walked into a small internet cafe, filled with questions and shouts.
"Oh my god, the chair under my butt suddenly broke, and that iron rod is stuck right in my anus. It hurts so much!"
"Have we traveled through time?"
"I was terrified! I was looking in the bathroom mirror when I suddenly saw a piece of my face missing. Then I realized the mirror was cracked. What happened?"
"I was just trying to pour some water in, but what came out was all smelly water. It stank so bad, I wanted to vomit."
"Quiet! Everyone count off!"
A group of members shared their experiences in the online community, pouring out their grievances. An old but authoritative voice immediately silenced them, making them obediently report their numbers.
"Number 1, Xu Hang!"
"Number 2, Tang Yongyan!"
"Number 3..."
The calm, orderly numbering brings only a sense of reassurance.
After confirming that everyone had given their numbers, the aged voice said:
"All members, remain on alert. Advisor Wang will explain the details to you."
"Enough with the small talk. Based on my investigation and what you've experienced, this phenomenon should be considered an alienation, or in other words, this is the other world, or it can be explained by the Silent Hill phenomenon."
"The Other World? Silent Hill? This... does the Other World exist in this world...?"
"I can tell you with certainty that there are such places. There are places in the world similar to Silent Hill, but the access level is very high, and you can't access them at your current level. These places are always resolved with huge losses, and the rewards... sometimes are great, but sometimes there are none at all."
"In the Otherworld, you must always be vigilant and never let your guard down. Because this is an emergency, I'll explain a similar incident to you."
"On [Date], after obtaining permission, a group of 50 mages taking their academy graduation exams entered a village within our country where the Silent Hill phenomenon had occurred. The number of survivors is..."
At this point, Advisor Wang paused slightly, leaving the others with much to imagine.
Did only one survive, or two? Or were they all wiped out?
A total of 51 people.
Wait, 51 people? How come there's one extra?
"Yes, you heard right. 50 went in, 51 came out, but the counting and inspection personnel seemed to be under a group suggestion spell and didn't notice anything amiss. After that, at a magic academy graduation ceremony, there were 2 extra people. At a graduation dinner, there were 3 extra people, making a total of 53. If one of those 3 hadn't encountered a teenager with the ability to forcibly remove supernatural powers, breaking the suggestion, their numbers would have continued to increase."
"During the arrest operation, the three extra individuals displayed a terrifying ability to corrupt the mind. The commander at the time acted decisively, launching several anti-magic missiles that instantly reduced them to ashes. At the moment of their deaths, 30 of the 50 graduated mages also died instantly."
"Although the number of casualties was small, you can imagine what would have happened if it weren't for that boy."
The consequences? Of course they anticipated the consequences. Three more people died, and then 30 more died as well. This powerful contamination and spread was a sure-fire disaster.
"Although this is just one of the more unusual cases, the other alternate worlds are also quite bizarre. There is a strange mirror maze where a new version of you appears whenever you look in the mirror, possessing your body, memories, and abilities. If you die inside, your body is sucked directly into the walls. To this day, due to the late discovery and the damage to the computer system, it is impossible to determine exactly how many people have been replaced."
These words startled the other members, who immediately moved away from the mirror.
"First, we need to determine whether this is a man-made or naturally formed alternate world, but I lean towards man-made. The Silent Hill phenomenon occurred right after we set up our ambush here; that's too much of a coincidence. So—"
"Report, this is number 8. I'm hearing a terrifying, cold laugh coming from around me, but there's no living creature around me—Aaaaaah! What...what kind of monster is this?! How did it appear?!"
A heart-wrenching scream reached Xu Hang's ears from afar.
This hospital is a private hospital that caters exclusively to high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Therefore, for the sake of room comfort, each floor is built to be very spacious, and there are even restaurants and gyms.
Oh no! Someone's been attacked!
Xu Hang's eyes narrowed, and he immediately rushed out the door. People appeared from the surrounding houses, toilets, and even the ceiling, rushing towards the location as if flying.
"This is number 2. I found number 8's corpse. His body is desiccated, with many wounds, but no blood is flowing out. It is estimated that all the blood in his body has been drained, it should be—wait, I also heard a cold laugh here, and now there is number 7 next to me, this—be careful! There are many monsters here, I—ah!"
As they got closer, Xu Hang and the others heard a scream and a variety of other strange noises.
After turning a corner, what appeared before Xu Hang was a horrifying scene of demons running rampant.
A monster resembling a tentacle creature floated in the air, its countless disgusting tentacles enveloping Number 2, Tang Yongyan. Number 7, standing nearby, was struggling against a demon that looked like it had a scorpion's tail, its weapon inexplicably knocked away and lying on the ground beside it.
A terrifying headless horseman watched the battle from the sidelines, seemingly having no intention of intervening. But when he saw the others arriving, he appeared excited, brandishing his greatsword and galloping over.
Necromantic Strike!
"Sunfire Palm!"
Within the corresponding bureau, people of all professions are everywhere. As long as you haven't made any major mistakes, or have redeemed yourself, you can join the corresponding bureau.
Of course, if you want to climb to the top, your background must be clean, since it's a state organization.
To deal with undead creatures, you definitely need to use attacks that are full of yang energy.
In reality, life spells are the most damaging to undead creatures. However, these spells are generally only known to druids. But everyone knows what kind of people most druids are. Although there are druids who work hard to study food and land, they are specially trained by the state. The specific inheritance is all in the hands of those rotten wood people. It is difficult for them to grow into great druids.
"call--"
A sudden roaring storm swept over, throwing them off balance and giving the headless knight an advantage, his greatsword aimed directly at someone's chest.
"Don't think about it!"
With a loud shout, Xu Hang's figure darted out instantly, kicking the headless knight in the chest, causing his sword to miss its mark.
"Thanks—watch your back!"
Number 5, who had just thanked Xu Hang after nearly being pierced through the heart by a sword, noticed a terrifying and disgusting monster emerging from the space behind Xu Hang and immediately warned him.
Sensing the cruel aura behind him, Xu Hang didn't turn around. He struck backward with an elbow strike, repelling the Void Ghost and interrupting its attempt to teleport him to another dimension.
A black, withered claw emerged from the darkness behind Number 5 and gripped his throat. The headless knight swung his sword down, but it was blocked by a person with metallic skin.
"Hey knight, your opponent is me!"
The metal man patted his chest, and regardless of whether the monster in front of him could hear him, he spoke provocatively.
“Suck Yu Yu”.
However, the Nightmare Horse beneath the Headless Horseman seemed to understand the Metal Man's provocation, responding with a neigh and charging forward.
Number 5 followed Xu Hang's example and delivered a backward elbow strike, repelling Nightmare.
(The Nightshade are not very strong in combat and are mainly used as transport fleets, but they maintain friendly relations with other races.)
Unexpectedly, a gigantic, terrifying winged serpent pierced the ventilation shaft, its gaping maw snapping shut.
In reality, this Terror Hunter was just a juvenile. A real Terror Hunter can grow to 40 feet long, but it is very afraid of light.
Seeing this, Number 3 unleashed a palm strike directly at the Terror Hunter, knocking it off balance.
"Buzz, buzz~"
With a crackling sound, a blue life form, its body crackling with electricity, floated in the air. Number 3 and Number 4 exchanged a glance and attacked it together.
It looks like a boss, we definitely need to team up to fight it.
Number 2 broke free from the Star Essence's restraints, and after letting out a cold laugh, its figure disappeared again.
Number 2, panting heavily, took out a potion and drank it. Although he felt a little better, he was still unable to participate in the battle because he had been bound by the Star Essence for too long and had lost too much blood.
"Be careful, that disgusting tentacle monster can turn invisible, and it will immediately release revealing dust after hearing the sneer—ah!"
Number 2 had just shouted out to warn the others when he suddenly sensed danger. A wild donkey rolled to the side, but was still pricked by a feather made of bone.
Why is it described as bones and feathers, rather than bone arrows?
Because an angel radiating light was standing before him.
But the body of this "angel" is a horrifying skeleton!
"call--"
Another massive storm struck, but Number 6 seemed unaffected by it, darting to the back of the battlefield and thrusting a spear at the flying hydra.
"biu——"
A yellow shockwave emanated from the Demon Child's eyes, knocking the spear from his hand. However, this also resulted in Number 7 kicking him in the groin. It was expected to have a miraculous effect, but judging from the Demon Child's appearance, he did not seem to have suffered any major injuries.
