Chapter 205 Confrontation
Gao Han's pupils shrank slightly when I questioned him like this. The team members behind him subconsciously raised their weapons and pointed them at me nervously.
The instantaneous killing of that monster just now means that my evolution level is not low.
Gao Han raised his hand to stop the team members' actions.
His face was extremely solemn, and his sharp eyes stared straight at me, trying to penetrate my mask and analyze my origins.
He could feel that the person in front of him was surrounded by an extremely strange aura, as if it was incompatible with reality. When his "mental field" approached the other person, it was like a drop in the ocean, unable to produce the slightest effect, and even gave him back a strange feeling of being distorted and spied on.
"Who are you?" Gao Han's voice remained steady, but with unprecedented vigilance.
“It doesn’t matter who I am.”
I didn't answer his question, but just said calmly:
"The important thing is, you've crossed the line. This is not the place for you to run wild."
"We are assessing the anomalous beliefs and potential risks in the area." Gao Han responded sharply, trying to regain the initiative. "You and your men possess dangerous unknown powers and are suspected of having come into contact with highly infected entities. We have reason to..."
"reason?"
I interrupted him, a hint of sarcasm in my tone.
"Using indiscriminate mental attacks to suppress them, is this the Bureau's rationale? If my men were killed or injured because of your 'assessment' just now, would you be able to shoulder the responsibility?"
Gao Han's eyes sternly replied, "To ensure the smooth progress of the assessment, necessary measures are unavoidable. Please cooperate with the investigation, remove your mask, identify yourself, and explain the source of the power you just used!"
As he spoke, the icy mental pressure intensified again, like an invisible mountain, trying to crush my will and force me to submit! The team members behind him also raised their guns again, and the sound of energy weapons charging could be heard faintly.
The man behind me once again wore a look of pain. I stood still, folding my arms and pacing in front of him twice, finally looking into his eyes.
"Soul manipulation".
Gao Han's eyes were briefly unfocused, and then his expression became terrified.
I didn't use it fully, I just used this ability to punish him a little, but the feeling of being deprived of the soul is very bad. Even if I just slightly shake his soul, it can achieve a deterrent effect. After all, I feel this deeply.
"That's enough." I said.
"Your ability has no effect on me." My voice, through the mask, was cold and ruthless. "Put aside this trick. Take your people and leave immediately."
Gao Han's forehead veins twitched slightly. He had never encountered such a situation before. The other party didn't even make any obvious resistance, and he was almost controlled by his soul!
This unfathomable feeling caused him to feel extremely alarmed.
"What on earth are you..." He wanted to ask again.
I didn't give him any more chances.
I took a light step forward.
Just one step.
But the moment my feet touched the ground, a pressure from a higher level of existence spread out from me like mercury pouring out.
This is not a mental attack, but an absolute suppression of the status at the level of life!
It’s as if a tiny creature suddenly faces the vast starry sky, and all it feels is its own insignificance and tinyness!
The team members behind Gao Han all groaned, their faces turned pale, their hands holding the guns trembled violently, and they could hardly aim. Deep in their hearts, they felt an instinctive fear that made them want to kneel down and surrender!
Even Gao Han himself froze, as if frozen by invisible ice, his breath choking! He felt as if he was looking directly into the eyes of some indescribable ancient being, and his soul trembled!
"I won't repeat my words a second time." I stared at them coldly, "Leave. Or, stay and end up like those things." I glanced at the remains of the molten monster.
The threat was blatant, yet extremely effective.
Gao Han's expression shifted, but ultimately, his strong sense of reason and crisis overwhelmed his mission and pride. He had no doubt that the mysterious masked man before him possessed the power to instantly destroy them all!
He stared at me intently, as if trying to memorize every detail about me, and finally squeezed out two words from between his teeth:
"retreat!"
The Investigation Bureau team retreated quickly and in a panic as if they had been pardoned, almost disappearing at the entrance of the supply station as if they were escaping, without even daring to say a harsh word.
Only when their aura completely disappeared did I slowly restrain the pressure I was exerting.
The warehouse was completely silent, with only the heavy breathing of the team members as the sound.
Bai Zang walked over and looked at me with a very complicated look, which included awe, gratitude, and a hint of indescribable strangeness.
The pressure at that moment, although not directed at them, was enough to make them terrified.
Just as Bai Zang was about to speak, I frowned and said, "Take the supplies that can be used and let's retreat first."
After saying that, without waiting for others to move, I quickly walked into the car, closed my eyes and began to meditate.
Just now, I clearly felt a familiar force.
From outside the earth, Gali's whisper rang in his ears again.
I have already cleared out the remaining pollution in my body, so logically, I should not hear Gali's whispers anymore.
But I can't mistake that familiar feeling.
One step closer to Gali's awakening.
…
By the time the wrecked truck drove back to the Black Dragon Gang's base, it was already bright.
The new scratches and coagulated dark red blood on the car body told of the danger of traveling at night, but the heavy carriages loaded with canned food and fuel barrels were more inspiring than any words.
Bai Zang jumped out of the car first. Although there was fatigue that was hard to conceal between his brows and the wound on his shoulder blade had been simply bandaged, his back was still straight.
He calmly directed the logistics team members who had been waiting for a long time to unload and count the goods. His voice was steady and one could not tell that he had just experienced a fierce battle.
"Register them first and distribute them according to demand. Send the injured to the medical department immediately." His instructions were concise and clear.
The team members watched the crates printed with military codes being unloaded one by one, and their eyes lit up with surprise.
The shadow of hunger has been looming for a long time, and these supplies are undoubtedly a timely help.
Soon, the news that the messenger of "Lord of the Starry Sky" personally led a team to bring back a large amount of supplies from the dangerous area spread throughout the stronghold like wings.
The news inevitably took on a legendary hue as it spread.
The details of that battle were blurred, and the existence of the Investigation Bureau team was hidden. Instead, it was replaced by the agent of "Lord Starry Sky" in the human world, who annihilated the terrible monsters with a wave of his hand, repelled unknown powerful enemies, and brought back hope of survival for the believers.
