Chapter 53
The battle below was not over yet. Everyone was fighting fiercely, and by the end, they couldn't distinguish friend from foe. Everyone was killing each other, their eyes bloodshot, and they were all in a bloodthirsty frenzy.
Looking down, there were piles of corpses everywhere, but on the second floor, everything was peaceful. Through the thin curtains, you could see people inside peeking out.
Although there was a foul smell of blood in one or two private rooms.
The doctor outside was rather unattractive; he hated dirty things.
He didn't care much about human lives for the time being, since he didn't know them anyway.
But now no one can get out; the area below is full of bloodthirsty people.
While the doctor was thinking, a person strode towards him. It was so sudden that the doctor didn't even remember and asked why the director had just been in the room but had come out from the other side so quickly.
Was it all over so quickly?
The director, disregarding his subordinates, strode out and looked at the commotion below with a grim expression.
With a single glance, his subordinates immediately understood what to do and quickly separated the majority of the people.
"After all this time, haven't you noticed that what you were trying to steal is missing?" The director's voice boomed loudly in everyone's ears.
Only then were they finally able to listen to even a little bit of what was being said, and they realized that the divine essence they had been fighting for was no longer on the first floor, and was not even in the hands of anyone.
"Foolish!" the director's icy words rang out. If anyone else had said this, they might have ignored it, but since it was him, no one dared to utter a sound.
"We're all from the big base, don't you even have this much common sense? You're so easily manipulated!" Even though he was just an ordinary person, the person who was being looked at by the director couldn't help but lower his head.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, we got down to business.
"So do you know where what you want is now? Who is sowing discord? And who caused this disaster? Think about the partners you have lost in this struggle..."
The crowd also grew angry, realizing they had been completely fooled. Seeing their emotions stirred up, they seized the opportunity to fan the flames.
"Alright, do you remember why some blind idiot tried to steal the divine title? And why someone happened to be running away when that woman tried to escape? There's only one reason: someone was deliberately causing trouble! Do you remember the superhuman who came out of the last private room? Why was there no reaction from the private room far back after the one that was pushed out? Do you remember where that was?"
Everyone's eyes subtly shifted to the other side...
"Now I'll tell you who instigated this disaster? Who wanted to plunge the world into chaos again, to make people displaced... Don't you find this suspicious? — That person, he stole the divine title!"
The director pointed to a room that looked unremarkable.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned... greedy.
"...Damn it!" The man in black robes, hiding in the room, gritted his teeth. It was bad enough that he hadn't accomplished his mission, but he might even lose his life.
Seeing that the crowd was almost surrounding him, he didn't hesitate any longer and threw a smoke grenade, then broke the window to get out.
Sure enough, someone immediately appeared and blocked his way, but he didn't hesitate at all and rushed over.
The man immediately raised the large shield to defend himself, but suddenly he noticed the black-robed man's smile, which revealed a hint of unease. Sure enough, a glint flashed in his eyes.
The man holding the large shield had blood mist immediately spread across his chest, and upon closer inspection, a small gash had appeared in the middle.
The man in black robes transformed into a strange, indescribable, anti-physical creature and burrowed into the middle.
After succeeding, he calmly put down his shield. A person in a hurry finally arrived, and he quickly squeezed in.
Upon closer inspection, I exclaimed, "Huh? Where did everyone go?"
The man with the shield paused for a second or two before speaking, "He just injured me. I saw him run over there." There was a large patch of blood on his chest, which didn't arouse their suspicion, but they hadn't looked closely enough to notice that his wound was healing rapidly.
The impatient man, without verifying the truth of the words, hurriedly ran in the direction the man pointed.
When the people behind saw him walk in that direction, the rest of them followed suit. What they didn't notice was that the person holding the shield was slowly walking towards the door.
Everyone was like a headless fly, running in one direction with all their might. There was no communication among them; they only knew how to blindly obey and follow the crowd, which resulted in a one-sided situation.
The crowd was in a hurry, afraid that someone else would get there first, so they were even more anxious and flustered. The person holding the shield was sweating bullets, and quietly moved forward, looking at the open gate. When they were only one step away...
Clang—
A huge, seemingly sacred staff stood before him.
He immediately turned around to try to find another way out, but it was clear that he was soon blocked as well.
The doctor, standing above, exclaimed, "Oh my, it's someone from Shao Ji's side!" He glanced discreetly in the direction of his director, wondering what was going on. He felt his director was acting strangely today.
But I can't quite put my finger on it, something just doesn't feel right.
So it was quite natural to strike up a conversation, "I really didn't expect that their base would actually include Jiao Qianyu's direct subordinates. Wasn't he always by Jiao Qianyu's side? Wasn't he only responsible for Jiao Qianyu's safety? How come..."
The director glanced at him sideways and answered slowly, "Firstly, it's to cultivate a successor, after all, Jiao Qianyu is not young anymore. Secondly, of course, it's because such an important matter cannot go unprepared. If I can't spare the time myself, of course I'll appoint the person I trust most."
The doctor was still a little confused. "No, he's already handed over most of the power in the base to Shao Ji. Doesn't he trust Shao Ji?"
"Let's not talk about it now, the filming is about to end..."
The beautiful young girl, dressed in a pure white robe, looked innocent and radiant with a holy glow. Then she jumped down roughly, without realizing that she was wearing a dress.
He used the staff like a fire poker in a rather domineering way...
The doctor's lips twitched. When he first met Jiao Qianyu's female subordinate, he was truly deceived by her appearance and demeanor.
As a result, once he opened his mouth, he was completely oblivious to everything else, and when he fought, he was purely a combat-oriented character.
Sure enough, after she spoke, she said, "You little bastard, where do you think you're going? I've been waiting for you here for ages!"
"Director, shouldn't we go down and try to snatch it? After all, the divine essence might very well be on him." The doctor was somewhat eager to try.
But the director frowned and replied, "You only need to help when the person down there is about to give up."
The doctor gave him a strange look, noticing that the director seemed unusually mature and composed today. Then, with a mischievous grin, he looked at the director and said, "Oh, so you're planning to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, right? Wait until they're both exhausted, then you want me to deliver the fatal blow and steal the divine status, is that it?"
The director smiled but said nothing.
Soon, the battle entered a heated phase and was expected to end quickly, as the opponent did not possess strong physical skills or offensive capabilities.
It seems that after changing hosts, his abilities can only reach the level of the original host. However, because he has just been promoted and is not yet familiar with his abilities, he cannot use 60% of the original host's abilities.
At this moment, the opponent gritted his teeth. It was clear that he was about to lose, but it was impossible to get him to give up so easily.
He hurriedly rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow. He thought to himself that his body was no longer usable, as it already had enough wounds.
So it was inserted into his chest, and slowly a black hole began to form. He wanted to crawl out and fight with his other body.
Suddenly, a voice was heard, "Qingmu (female subordinate's name), use Holy Light. He is about to leave this body."
Unexpectedly, the female subordinate actually listened to the director's advice and immediately began using her holy light.
She prefers exhilarating battles, but her magic, which is also her innate talent, is naturally quite good as well.
"What?!" Before the black-robed figure could react, he was instantly melted by the holy light. "Damn it..."
After everything was over, the female subordinate stepped forward and grabbed a handful, only to find some sticky human skin. "Really, it still managed to escape..."
Seeing this, the doctor couldn't help but feel disappointed. "Then that divine essence was taken away by that man in black, wasn't it?"
The director smiled mysteriously and opened his hands.
The doctor stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the piece of divine essence in the director's hand. When did he get it? How could they have been together the whole time?
Even more unbelievable was what happened next: he watched as the director, with his own eyes wide open, swallowed the divine spark.
He was bewildered, since divine power represents energy, and for an ordinary person without superpowers to swallow it would be tantamount to suicide.
"You, you, you, you!" the doctor stammered, somewhat incoherently.
She saw the outline begin to slowly change, and then she looked up at him. It was actually Shao Ji! The director was an imposter!
She even fooled her childhood friend; the imitation was incredibly convincing. This made everything that seemed inexplicable now make sense.
Why did the director arrive so quickly? Why is that person below so obedient? Why does he feel that the director is acting strangely today?
