Chapter 34: The Eye of Illusion

Gang Jue was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, it has increased."

“Isn’t this a good thing?”

I am a little confused. In the face of disaster, if special abilities are awakened, if nothing else, at least you can protect yourself. This doesn't seem like a bad thing no matter how you look at it.

"What would happen if ordinary people could easily get a gun?" Gang Jue did not answer my question directly, but gave an example.

I thought of the news about shootings and gunfights that I had seen in foreign countries in the past and nodded in understanding.

The answer is self-evident.

"It's a terrifying thing when people suddenly gain powers that don't match their minds, and now the ratio of ordinary people to people with special abilities is seriously unbalanced." Steel Lord pointed to the ruins of buildings that were destroyed by unknown forces.

Just then, several fully armed men came trotting over.

The clothes these people wore were similar to ours, all combat equipment. The only difference was that there was an inverted triangle logo printed on the left chest of their clothes, with a totem in the shape of an eye in the middle of the inverted triangle.

They are the "Eyes of Perseverance"!

"Preliminary investigation shows that it was a fight between people with special abilities. The main groups involved are the Black Dragon Gang and the Brotherhood of Steel." The leading "Eye of Perseverance" briefly explained the situation.

Steel Lord nodded and discussed more details with them.

I listened carefully to the message in their words.

From their conversation, I roughly understood some information.

In addition to the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation, there are many other forces. The Black Dragon Gang and the Brotherhood of Steel they just mentioned are two of them. In addition to these, there may be more forces and organizations hidden in the dark.

For example...the Apocalypse sect.

However, this incident should have nothing to do with the Apocalypse Sect.

I was just daydreaming when an unusual tinnitus interrupted my thoughts, and then my temples started throbbing.

That familiar and crazy whisper rang in my head without warning. I knelt down in unbearable pain, and my vision went dark.

"What's wrong?" Gang Jue noticed something was wrong and came forward to help me.

"I..." I shook my head and managed to squeeze out a word. A strong feeling of dizziness came over me, and I could no longer see the scene in front of me clearly.

At the same time, something seemed to be about to come out. I glanced at the people around me and felt that their appearance became more and more ferocious.

I shook my head, trying to drive out the chaotic thoughts in my mind, and looked at my teammates again. Their appearance recovered briefly and then became even more terrifying.

The Steel Lord seemed to be saying something in my ear, but I couldn't hear it clearly and my mind was in chaos.

In this almost crazy chaos, I suddenly felt a clear dull pain in my back, and then my vision went black.

…

When I woke up again, I was still in the ruins, but I was lying on a relatively flat stone slab.

I propped myself up and sat up, feeling a dull pain in the back of my neck.

"Did you just sneak attack me?" I stared at Gang Jue who was squatting next to me.

"No." He shook his head, his eyes sincere.

I didn't say anything, but just touched the back of my neck and looked at him suspiciously.

"Really not." Gang Jue coughed lightly and looked away somewhat unnaturally.

Haha, haha.

Before I could say anything, I suddenly noticed that Song Nanxing and Chen Yubing were also hurrying over from a distance. Behind them was a "Sword of Dawn" task force.

Even the captain is here.

An ominous premonition lingered in my heart.

"Something happened in the western suburbs. Monitoring data shows that a group of mutant creatures are gathering and heading towards the western suburbs shelter." Song Nanxing said seriously.

"Now we must head towards the route they must take. We must intercept these monsters before they reach the western suburbs."

The western suburbs again...

There was no time to say anything more. After briefly handing over the situation to several members of the "Eye of Perseverance" team present, Gang Jue and I followed Song Nanxing and the others to the western suburbs.

Suddenly, a strange feeling arose from the bottom of my heart. I turned around and looked somewhere behind me, but I saw nothing.

Confused as I was, I still had to do what needed to be done. I stood up, dusted myself off, and walked towards the western suburbs with the others.

…

Just after the Abnormal Investigation Bureau left, a blurry and illusory eye appeared on a window of a building not far from the ruins.

The eye contained no expression and stared coldly in the direction where Ji Ling and his group left.
