Chapter 104 Isolation

When I heard the sound, I quickly turned around.

Lin Hanning was standing at the door, and she seemed to have seen something extremely attractive. The next second, she rushed out of the room at an extremely fast speed.

"Lin Hanning!"

Everything happened so suddenly that no one could react immediately. Chen Yubing and I looked at each other and chased after him together.

When I reached the first floor, the fog had seeped in a little, but there was no sign of Lin Hanning, not even the dark shadows seen on the surveillance camera.

Jiang Wang also rushed down at this time.

"What's going on? Where's the Chief?"

"I didn't find it. Then a cool breeze blew and I noticed that the door on the first floor was open."

No way...

I thought to myself that this was not good.

"Close the door. She may not have gone out. Let's search around the first floor first." Chen Yubing spoke first.

This happened at this critical moment, and the nameless anger in my heart suddenly increased a little bit.

But the most important thing right now is to find someone. Although Lin Hanning is capable, he lacks some direct and effective offensive abilities.

And she looked very strange just now. It was probably because the one who was exposed to the moonlight before was under control.

"You look on the left, and I'll look on the right. It's faster this way." I quickly said to Jiang Wang, then turned around and looked in other rooms on the right.

Although Jiang Wang was anxious, he was not the kind of person who would slack off at the last minute. After hearing my reminder, he nodded and looked at the rooms on the left one by one.

Chen Yubing searched the lobby and other floors.

Only Fan Buqiu did not come downstairs. Now I can basically be sure that there must be something wrong with Fan Buqiu, but what is his purpose?

While I was thinking, I opened the doors of each room and looked around, but I still couldn't find Lin Hanning.

He returned to the first floor lobby and reunited with Jiang Wang, but he also found nothing.

At this moment, my walkie-talkie suddenly rang.

It was Chen Yubing's voice: "There's nothing upstairs either. I'm worried it's Fan Buqiu's doing. I'm heading to the top floor now. Please be careful."

"Okay, Yubing, you should be careful too." I replied.

After hanging up the intercom, Jiang Wang and I looked at each other and saw a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.

"I know you're anxious, but don't worry. Wait for Yu Bing's news."

Seeing the dark cloud between Jiang Wang's brows, I sighed in relief.

"Yeah." Jiang Wang didn't say anything, just a brief "hmm", then looked towards the door.

After a while, Chen Yubing's voice came from the intercom again.

"There's no one on the top floor, and Fan Buqiu is missing."

When I heard the news, I frowned. I was not surprised that Fan Buqiu would take action, but once he disappeared, the situation suddenly became one where the enemy was in the dark and I was in the light, which was quite tricky.

"I'll go out and find her." Jiang Wang said in a deep voice.

"Now?" I glanced at the sky outside. Moonlight was faintly visible through the curtains.

"Yes." Jiang Wang said and walked towards the door.

"You don't know what's going on outside, and you're going to go out like this?"

I don't quite agree. There is no trace of Lin Hanning at the moment, Fan Buqiu is hiding in the dark and no one knows what he is planning, Chen Yubing's ability cannot be used, and if Jiang Wang gets into trouble again, no one will be able to take care of him.

When I thought of this, my already anxious mood became even more irritable.

Jiang Wang seemed a little annoyed and shouted, "You just wanted to go out by yourself! Now you want to stop me? Ji Ling, why didn't I realize you were such a person before?"

Being questioned by him out of the blue, the anger that had been suppressed in my heart finally burst out uncontrollably.

"I told you to calm down, don't you understand?"

"You are usually so smart, why can't you figure it out now? Can't you see that Fan Buqiu deliberately broke us up?" I said loudly.

"So I'm just going to watch my savior get into danger? Don't forget, she also saved you!" Jiang Wang couldn't help but quarrel with me.

Seeing him so stubborn, I asked:

"What are you going to use to resist the moonlight?"

"None of your business."

Jiang Wang paused and added, "You have too many secrets. I don't trust you now."

I was slightly stunned by the words he suddenly said.

The next second, I suddenly calmed down.

"Okay, I won't stop you."

I pulled out a small folding umbrella from my waist and threw it at his feet.

"Take this."

This is a black umbrella, and is also one of the equipment researched by the Investigation Bureau. It can block the pollution emitted by some abnormal units to a certain extent.

And today when I was resting in my room during the day, I didn't sleep. Instead, I drew a cloud and thunder pattern inside my umbrella with a marker.

This umbrella can only shelter one person. It was originally used for going out at night when necessary, but it seems more suitable for him now.

Jiang Wang looked at me with some surprise, pursed his lips and picked up the umbrella on the ground.

I turned my back and said calmly, "The company doesn't care about the life or death of you external employees, but I still advise you not to die outside."

After saying that, I gripped the knife tightly in my hand and walked upstairs.

When I reached the corner of the corridor, I heard the sound of a door closing downstairs. I guess he had gone out.

As a former friend, this is the last thing I can do to help him, but I have no obligation to die with him.

I turned on the intercom and called Chen Yubing, but there was no response.

My solar plexus jumped twice again. I forced myself to suppress my irritability and let my mind race.

"Hu, calm down, calm down, go find Yu Bing first." I clenched my fists and encouraged myself.

At this moment, a light bulb went off in my head and I suddenly remembered what Jiang Wang had said to me not long ago.

He said that the way Fan Buqiu looked at me was strange, as if he was looking at food.

In other words, he made this fuss and sent the others away, most likely because of me.

Thinking of this, I felt much calmer.

Since he wants to deal with me, he won't waste too much energy dealing with other people. In other words, Chen Yubing's current situation should be okay, at least not more dangerous than me.

As for Jiang Wang, I have done my best.

Although I could choose to go with him, it was obviously not the result that Fan Buqiu wanted.

But obviously, the best solution at present is to solve Fan Buqiu.

If we can get rid of him, maybe everyone can be saved.

After Jiang Wang goes out, he will have to deal with whatever situation he encounters, and I also have my own things to do.

For example, go and meet Fan Buqiu.

With an idea in mind, I went straight to the top floor.

When I walked into the monitoring room, Chen Yubing, who was supposed to be here, had disappeared, and only the dim light was left in the room.

"Fan Buqiu, stop hiding. Didn't you send them away just for this moment?" I shouted into the empty room.

The sound of a door opening came from behind me, and Fan Buqiu laughed softly behind me.

"I thought you would be a little more scared, but you are much calmer than I thought."

I laughed as well, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Afraid? Afraid of someone like you...a red-haired killer?"

I have to say, because of the frequent bickering with Song Nanxing, even my sharp tongue has improved.

Faced with my ridicule, Fan Buqiu just smiled indifferently.

It felt like I was punching cotton.

"Ji Ling, aren't you curious?"

"What are you curious about?"

"Are you curious about what I want to do?"

To be honest, Fan Buqiu now looks like a villain in a TV series.

Too much talk and useless.

But I have to say, I am a little curious about what he wants to do.

After all, he was so deliberate in approaching us, there must be some secret about the Bureau's problems, and there must also be some secrets about myself.

No matter which one I dig up, it will be a huge profit for me.

But even though I thought this in my heart, I said harshly: "Tsk, is it important?"

Hearing my answer, Fan Buqiu was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting me to say that.

But he was only stunned for a few seconds, and soon he returned to his previous calm and composed look.

"It really doesn't matter, because you can't escape."

After Fan Buqiu finished speaking, a group of black figures suddenly appeared around me.

These black figures were all surrounded by a large mass of thick black fog.

And I found that they were all floating in the air.

I feel like this is a bit like a black mist spirit.

When I saw their appearance, I knew that they were the ones walking around in the surveillance camera.

These things suddenly appeared in the surveillance just now, and they were simply used by Fan Buqiu to divert everyone's attention.

It was precisely because Fan Buqiu diverted our attention at that time that Lin Hanning ran away after being illuminated by the moonlight.

It seems that Fan Buqiu is quite afraid of being with us.

But who is he afraid of?

I have some vague answers to this question in my mind.

Chen Yubing currently has no ability to rely on, and Jiang Wang doesn't seem to have any secrets. Even if he does, it is unlikely that he will attract Fan Buqiu's attention.

Then only Lin Hanning is left.

This also explains why Fan Buqiu was pretending to be nice to us at first, but after Lin Hanning ran away, Fan Buqiu stopped pretending.

But before, when we had all the people, we were outnumbered.

But now the offense and defense have changed, and I have become the lesser one.

The black mist spirits surrounded me completely. I drew my Miao Dao from its sheath and prepared for battle.

Under the dim light, the cloud and thunder patterns on the Miao Dao seemed to be glowing slightly.

Seeing me take a fighting stance, Fan Buqiu raised his hand and waved two fingers forward slightly.

"superior."

At Fan Buqiu's command, these black mist spirits pounced directly towards me.

I raised my Miao Dao and chopped directly at the person in front of me.

The moment the Miao Dao touched the Black Mist Spirit, it went straight through it, as if it was cutting the air.

After the Miao Dao passed through, it quickly rushed straight towards me.

Wu Ling was very fast and I couldn't dodge in time, so I could only try to turn my body to the side.

Fortunately, I turned sideways, and the black mist spirit just brushed past my waist with its claws.

The pain coming from my waist told me that the fog spirits were physical. At least their attacks were physical the moment they touched my skin.

But most of the time it should be in a foggy state.

However, I could dodge the attack of this black mist spirit, but I couldn't dodge the attack of the rest of the black mist spirits.

These fog spirits continued to attack me one after another.

The speed was so fast that even my speed and agility, which I have always been proud of, were a little unable to cope with it.

From those claws wrapped in black mist, I vaguely felt a biting cold wind.

Although I tried my best to avoid the opponent's attack.

But in the small monitoring room, I still couldn't avoid being hit a few times.

After swinging the Miao Dao vigorously, the attacks of the black mist spirits finally stopped slightly.

This gave me a few seconds to breathe.

The pain coming from my body, coupled with the frustration of having to keep dodging.

At this moment, I was already filled with anger.

Since these black mist spirits can ignore my physical attacks.

Then I'll give their boss a mental attack.

I used the Projection of Fear directly on those black mist spirits and Fan Buqiu.

Fan Buqiu's expression changed slightly when he was projected with my fear.

But they are both masters of mental attacks.

Fan Buqiu immediately returned to normal.

Although my attack had no effect on Fan Buqiu.

But what I didn’t expect was that those black mist spirits were obviously not among them.

The moment I used the Fear Projection, they stopped attacking me and started attacking each other instead.

This is not bad news. The fact that they can be controlled by fear projection shows that they are indeed intelligent creatures.

Any intelligent creature will find a way to solve it.

What I'm afraid of are abnormal units that are inanimate objects like "Red Velvet" and "Broken Idol".

Seeing this, Fan Buqiu couldn't help but frown.

Then he raised his hand towards the Black Mist Spirit.

I could feel an invisible pressure coming from his hands.

Under the influence of these pressures, the black mist spirits that were originally attacking each other slowly stopped.

It seems that this is Fan Buqiu using his mind control.

Seeing this, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

If these black mist spirits get rid of my fear projection and attack me again, I will be in danger.

To be honest, if Fan Buqiu didn't control the fog spirits endlessly, even if I could deal with these few, if he summoned more fog spirits, my situation would still be very dangerous.

Obviously, Fan Buqiu thought so too. He curled his lips slightly and showed a provocative smile, and then more mist spirits appeared from the darkness.

The terrible thing is that my Miao Dao has no effect on them at all. It goes straight through them with one slash, as if they were really a cloud of mist.

It would be nice if we could treat those abnormal units the same way as usual.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered a method that I had always ignored - blood sacrifice.

But at this moment, the fog spirit kept harassing and attacking me, and it was very difficult for me to just dodge. I tried several times to wipe my palm on the blade, or let the blood from my wound stain the cloud thunder pattern, but it was too late.

It's obviously a very simple thing, but it's very difficult to do now. These fog spirits seem to know that I can't let my blood get on the cloud and thunder pattern, and they keep obstructing me.

I can't go on like this any longer. While dodging Wu Ling's attacks, I kept a close eye on Fan Buqiu, and an idea formed in my mind.
