Chapter 175 Comic Content (Raid)
noon. The government employees who still stick to their posts are handling various matters in an orderly manner. Most of the senior executives went to Bai Ye to participate in the ceremony, which made the working atmosphere become much more relaxed. They gathered in the tea room to listen to gossip.
In the westernmost building, the prison cell where serious criminals are held, today is also an ordinary day.
Guards stood on both sides of the door, and there were guards stationed at every corner. The cell door was tightly closed, and occasionally there was the sound of a serious criminal banging on the door lock. No matter where the prison cell is, the atmosphere is always cold and gloomy, and the small cubicles without sunlight are specially modified to provide powerful defenses.
I just had lunch. The weather today is just right, making me feel a little sleepy for some reason.
A few psychics left with the top leaders, and several elite teams headed to the southeast, northwest, and northeast to deal with new copies. The government was unusually quiet at the moment. Even the usually busy research team took a rare break and sat lazily on the stone steps at the door to bask in the sun.
The guard standing at a corner of the cell yawned.
[It’s been so quiet these days.] 】He was talking to a colleague nearby.【I used to always hear the sound of footsteps coming and going. 】
【Well, isn’t this great? 】My colleague also stretched, 【Our tense nerves always need a rest, so we should have some fun these days, and then we can go out for a good meal after our shift change. 】
[Okay, call again...]
The cell door behind him suddenly made a loud bang, as if someone had smashed the lock hard, and the guard was so frightened that he stopped talking abruptly.
[What are you doing?] 】He couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he also felt strange.
The person imprisoned in this cell is very special. He is one of the core supernatural persons in the government - Lu Qingyuan. She had been locked up in there for a whole month, but the interrogators hadn't gotten any useful information out of her. Even the psychiatric department that came to pry into her mind only got the familiar result of "unable to probe".
He didn't know the answer to any of the questions. We even used the lie detector and truth water, but still couldn't get a single word out of him, as if all this was just a misunderstanding. Logically speaking, the person in this situation should be transferred to the lower-level cell, but for some unknown reason, the higher-ups firmly believed that there was something wrong with Lu Qingyuan and refused to release him, keeping him locked up until now.
Even colleagues from outside who wanted to come and express their condolences were not allowed in. After a month, the formerly energetic woman became silent and no longer tried to bang on the cell door to explain, until her palms were red and swollen and her throat was dry.
The guard naturally found it strange to hear the familiar knocking on the door again after half a month. He had come into contact with this enthusiastic lady before, and now seeing her end, he felt that the situation was unpredictable.
[Ms. Lu, do you have any needs? 】He walked to the door and asked loudly through the heavy door.
There was silence inside the door for a few seconds.
He asked again: [Ms. Lu? If you remember any clues, I will be responsible for informing the outside world. 】
It was still quiet inside the door.
【Hello. 】The colleague stood there and called him, feeling a little headache, [Come back soon and ignore her. This is the most common method used against serious criminals. If she really had no problem, the government would not have kept her in jail for so long. 】
[…But she has been unusually quiet for the past half month. Could something have happened? 】
[If something happened, the alarm bells would have sounded long ago. Put away your useless worries. 】
That's true. The government sometimes needs to utilize the special abilities of serious criminals, so detection devices are installed in every cell. Whenever a prisoner attempts to commit suicide or self-destruct, he will be instantly restrained by the prepared formation. Therefore, the alarm bells didn't go off very often.
As long as there is no beep, everything is normal.
【All right. The guard shrank his neck and was about to return to his post when the iron gate behind him suddenly made a dull sound, like the sound of a person falling to the ground.
At the same time, the alarm bell indicating that the serious criminal was in critical condition suddenly rang, and the red light flashed, echoing in the empty floor.
The guard who had just taken a step was so frightened that he almost took off, and colleagues on the same floor also rushed over after hearing the bell.
The screen monitoring the scene inside the cell was projected onto the large screen. Lu Qingyuan was lying on the ground with her long hair disheveled, her pulse weak and her breathing difficult. In just a moment, she suddenly lost consciousness and fell into a near-death coma without any warning.
The guard who tried to stop him was stunned. He didn't expect that he could become a crow's mouth.
What's going on? ! 】Some people were stunned, [How could he suddenly be on the verge of death? Is there any problem with the lunch? ! 】
[Don’t worry about it for now. Her ability is rare and she hasn’t asked the question yet. She can’t die now. 】Another person immediately interrupted and ordered the guard in charge of this area to open the cell door,【Tie her up with props and send her to the medical building! Contact Xinyi and others now! 】
[Okay, okay, I'll go now!] 】
The first guard fumbled to get the corresponding key and opened the cell door in a few tries. Several people rushed in, one used special props to tie up Lu Qingyuan's limbs, and another took out an advanced teleportation talisman that could only be used in emergencies, intending to teleport the person directly to the medical building to avoid causing a commotion.
After being imprisoned without seeing the sun for a month, Lu Qingyuan seemed to have completely changed. His pale and thin facial features, his stiff and wooden body, even his facial features seemed to have slightly changed. At this moment, he was in critical condition and looked no different from a dead person.
The guards tied her up, the teleportation talisman in their hands already ignited with flames. There were several people around observing the cell for any suspicious information, trying to figure out why he suddenly fainted.
[Okay, remember to stand firm.] 】Someone instructed.
The anomaly occurred at this moment.
No one knew why the binding formation lost its effect, and when the psychic who should have been unconscious opened his eyes, staring at them quietly with his lifeless pupils, with hatred deep in his bones.
Before the indigo flame burned out, the strong impact of the psychic's self-detonation arrived first, blowing up the hair on everyone's forehead, revealing the confused faces underneath who had not yet reacted. The splashing blood foam sprayed their faces, and the pungent fishy smell filled their nasal cavity, blurring their eyeballs and causing pain.
The energy of the psychic who was suppressed in the formation was dried up, and the momentary frenzied attack did not hurt the guards. Even their uniforms remained intact in this accident. However, they were extremely frightened after seeing the bloody scene.
The growing black mist rose from the scarlet wreckage, broke free from its restraints after the carrier's death, and pounced ferociously towards the still confused people.
The gap was too short to escape.
The guards were swallowed up by the endless fog.
The black fog that was lingering inside the open prison door continued to slowly grow in size.
——
The central city gate.
After taking an application form from someone and checking it to make sure it was correct, the guard nodded and signaled the person to continue passing.
This is what I do every day: identify those with bad intentions among the crowd, record every traveler who needs special attention, and protect the safety of residents in the city... The work is a bit complicated, but also fulfilling.
Once the government develops a one-click inspection device, things will be much easier. The guard shook his head, feeling a little hot from the sun, and let out a breath.
The next person to be examined was a little girl. The partner in charge of other aspects was a little surprised and looked at the girl for a few seconds. The child looked a little timid and took small steps forward, his aura harmless.
The guard was also a little surprised to see this, and she lowered her voice: [Hello, little sister. I don't think I've seen you before. Where are you from? Where are your family? 】
The little girl tilted her head back, pursed her lips and said nothing, but tears were welling up in her eyes. The people standing behind her wanted to urge her on, but stopped talking when they saw this.
[Little sister?] 】Thinking about what happened to the child, the guard and his partner looked at each other, squatted down, touched the girl's shoulder, and gently squeezed to comfort her. [Don't worry, you can talk slowly if you have anything to say. I'll take you to the temporary residence first. There will be gentle adults there to take care of you first, okay? 】
【……elder sister. 】The child called out tremblingly, his voice hoarse and thin, [You, can you come closer, I will tell you first. 】
Perhaps because she met a gentle elder of the same sex, the little girl hurriedly reached out her hands and hooked them around the guard's neck, wanting a hug. Seeing this, the partner felt that this was not something that could be handled in a short time, so he took his colleague's place and continued to let the next person pass.
[Okay, you can come up and hand in your application form. 】He clapped his hands in signal.
The next man in line hurried forward, holding the list in both hands and handing it over, while introducing himself:
[Hello, hello, I’m from…! 】
The list was passed from the two people's hands before they touched each other, and fell lightly to the ground, stopping as abruptly as the man's voice. His partner frowned in confusion, looking up to see his partner's eyes widened in fear.
And his eyes were looking directly at the position below him.
There was the sound of a knife being drawn.
He didn't have time to look back. Warm blood splashed onto his cheeks, sporadically spurting out from his carotid artery, making his ears buzz, accompanied by the sudden screams of the crowd.
His colleague's body swayed and fell to his feet with a dull thud. He lowered his head and met those open eyes. After a few seconds, the pupils dilated and the empty eyeballs stared at him.
The button for transmitting the rescue signal was pressed, and the girl pulled him over and threw him to the ground, smashing him to pieces. The guards nearby rushed over here quickly, and the people who realized what had happened scattered, screaming and running away.
The originally timid and weak little girl, holding a knife stained with blood, looked up at him with a smile. Most of her body was soaked in blood, and she showed a bright smile to the guards with a wet and bloody face.
The innocence of a child was gone, leaving only undisguised malice and cruelty in his eyes.
[What I want to say is——]
The girl tilted her head, threw away the soaked knife, spread her hands and announced loudly in the chaos.
You are all going to die. 】
Some believers mixed in the long team took off their camouflaged human skins, and deformed monsters walked out of the black fog. The sounds of flesh and blood exploding rang out one after another, as spectacular as in the illusion of the Battle of Zhuolu. Only this time, it appeared in reality.
Believers in black robes appeared one after another, suddenly appearing at the moment when the central city was most relaxed.
There was no warning, no clue, and it struck with a desperate and crazy momentum, without regard for the mortality rate or the price paid.
This is the exact opposite of what people would predict.
At the same time, riots broke out in the city. Black fog that came from nowhere swallowed up people along the way and continued to spread slowly. Spreading from the gaps in the west building.
The girl's skin was rotting, and the human skin that did not match the soul emitted a foul stench and was about to melt into a pool of mud under the cover of the smell of blood. But she still screamed and laughed, tearing her thin skin to reveal her fat and insides, and her bright red internal organs flowed all over the floor.
Kill them, kill everyone here. 】
Girl... "07" screamed, tearing her vocal cords and making a piercing sound.
[Offer everything to the leader and let him suck it all up, then lure out that damn beast, skin him, pull out his tendons, dig out his eyes and break his bones, and tell him that all of this was caused by him! 】
Even though its skeleton was broken and mixed with the yellow-red blood and seeped into the ground, it still shouted that name angrily, with the overwhelming hatred almost engraved in its soul.
[Daytime!] ! ! 】
——
An emergency call came into the remote night.
When the call was received, the employee was still immersed in the atmosphere of the celebration and humming a little tune. He picked up the phone with a smile on his face, but before he could even say hello, he was frightened by the faint noise on the other end of the phone and his smile froze.
The top brass were still chatting and laughing on the podium; the ringing of cell phones was drowned out by the noise and no one answered. No one knew about the raid that the central city was currently experiencing.
This attack from the Dark Nest was truly unpredictable. The camp, which had just suffered heavy damage during the day, had not yet recovered its strength when it suddenly launched an attack in the seemingly peaceful afternoon.
There are still many people with special abilities in the city, enough to resist the attack for a long time, and should be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive.
But this is not what is so frightening and puzzling.
Rather, it was the Dark Nest's desperate offensive.
They seemed to have mobilized all of their cultists and deformities, and used this month to frantically breed countless deformities, some even using their own companions as raw materials. It's like he doesn't care about the retreat at all, doesn't care whether his camp will perish, doesn't care whether he will be defeated at this moment, and he still drags the corpse to bite off a piece of enemy flesh, risking his life to the extreme.
It was like the last struggle of a desperate person, with the extreme idea of dragging others into the water and dying together with others, or even better, killing more people. I wish the world would be completely destroyed right now and all human beings would be extinct.
Normal people are always afraid of mental illnesses. Because they act without regard for the consequences, they do not focus on occupying new areas and becoming the winner, but their brains are filled with killing, and they simply gain pleasure at the cost of their own lives.
That's what Dark Nest is now.
Even the psychics who were previously at ease couldn't help but feel a little frightened after this attack.
The boss was informed in a panic by his employees that the operation had been disrupted, so he dropped everything and ran to the building to answer the phone. He frowned fiercely as he listened to the description of the psychic on the other end of the phone.
[Don't be anxious, protect the people within the government. Trying to observe the cultists' behavior as much as possible, I don't think they just want to die. This is not in line with their "righteousness". 】
He said in a deep voice: [There must be some extreme connection between them that made them abandon the "great justice" and start unconditional slaughter, which is the most important thing to them. 】
[The cult leader seemed to have called out a name. 】The psychic on the opposite side was panting. [I was far away, but the people in front heard it. They said——]
[The cultist shouted "daylight". 】
The commander paused.
[I understand. Please continue to observe.] He clenched the phone tightly, his fingertips turning white from the force. [I believe you can do it and hold on until the rescue comes. 】
[The nearest guild has already sent people out. You just need to protect yourself and the people. Safety is the most important thing. You can also directly activate the underground formation. 】
The officer quickly instructed: "I will go and inform the others now. Be careful and don't try to compete with this madman." 】
The phone was hung up.
The chief walked quickly out the door, ordering the uneasy employees around him: [Terminate the ceremony. 】
[Drive all the people back home and stay put. Considering the grandness of this celebration, it is impossible that the mice did not hear about it. 】
[I will go and inform the higher-ups.] You are responsible for gathering the people with special abilities. Whether you use your voice or a microphone, separate them as quickly as possible! 】
【yes! 】
The employees scattered and rushed in different directions as fast as possible.
The officer pursed his lips tightly and stepped hard on the floor with his boots, making a dull sound. His mind was in a mess, his heart was aching, and his temples were aching because of this sudden event.
It's not an illusion.
This celebration... is really too weird.
——
Wait until you get outside the door. The cheerful music of the celebration had stopped, the acrobatic troupe on the stage stood quietly in place, and the crowd below was dead silent.
But there were no emergency calls from employees, nor was there any commotion as the crowd dispersed in confusion.
There was an odd silence, and even the higher-ups were silent.
Everyone was looking in the same direction. The officer looked up as well.
Black clouds came from afar, covering the originally blue sky. The coming wind and rain brought with them dusty air, which was damp and cold.
The chaotic and violent footsteps came from far away, slowly approaching the territory of White Night, accompanied by the overlapping murmurs of countless people, chanting strange scriptures and singing strange tunes, gradually approaching with the black cloud.
The wind brought the stench from far away. The deformed area dripped with sticky liquid, leaving traces of its origin on the ground as it moved, corroding the vitality along the way. Countless huge figures fell on both sides of the cultists' backs, roaring as they approached.
The black air infected the white clouds.
The Dark Nest is coming.
It was faster than the commander had expected. Instead of all of them trying to occupy the central city together, they split up and each cultist led the troops to the places with the largest populations.
There is no need to notify now.
