Chapter 81
Everyone looked at him in surprise and doubt. In the huge conference hall, you could hear a pin drop.
Cen Xun seemed not to notice the shock and fear in their eyes, and walked into the venue slowly. The dark red color fell into the prosperous place and naturally became the focus of attention.
As he approached, everyone subconsciously stepped back as if waking from a dream, and a vacuum zone quickly formed within ten meters around Cen Xun.
Cen Xun nonchalantly picked up a glass of blood-red wine from the servant's tray beside him, swirled it gently in his hand, and raised his eyelids with a half-smile: "I heard that many people wanted to see me, so I came. Why do you seem to be not very welcoming to me now?"
No one responded to his words. The venue was completely silent. Suddenly, someone shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Attack!"
A group of psychics suddenly reacted and immediately launched an attack on Cen Xun.
There were two A-level psychics in the venue, whose abilities were [Sound Wave Control] and [Shadow Chain] respectively. It was these two A-level psychics who launched the first attack.
[Sonic Wave Control], as the name suggests, is to use sound waves to attack specific targets. In mild cases, it can make the enemy lose their hearing, and in severe cases, it can cause the enemy's internal tissues to explode.
[Shadow Chain] can weave shadows into chains and bind the enemy in a tangled manner. Since shadows are concealed, it is difficult to be detected when sneaking up on the enemy. Therefore, in the past, the success rate of [Shadow Chain] in trapping the enemy was nearly 100%.
In a flash, an A-level sonic attack hit Cen Xun. At the same time, a slender shadow chain snaked up along the ground and the wall, quietly approaching from behind Cen Xun.
Cen Xun did not dodge or evade, but continued to stand there calmly shaking his red wine glass, his eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of sarcasm in the smile at the corner of his lips.
The moment the sound wave hit Cen Xun, almost at the same time, the shadow chain also stabbed at Cen Xun
Then, both attacks passed through Cen Xun's body at the same time, and the sound waves even hit the expensive painting on the wall. The broken fragments of the picture frame and bricks and stones fell to the ground with a crash.
The two A-level psychics had not expected such a sudden change at all, and their pupils suddenly shrank.
Cen Xun's figure was like a stuck image, flickering a few times before dissipating gently like morning mist.
It's just an illusion?
What about his true self? Where did his true self go?!
Human beings' fear of the unknown is an instinct etched in their genes. Suddenly losing their target, even the once invincible A-level mutants would fall into unreasonable anxiety and fear.
A certain uneasiness permeated the air, and at this moment the sudden scream was so clear that it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
I saw a man suddenly flying up, his eyes bulging, and his hands tightly grabbing his neck, as if something was strangling his neck and making him unable to breathe.
But the strange thing was that there was clearly nothing on his neck.
Everyone watched him kicking his legs wildly, and the fingers that were tightly clasped around his neck gradually began to bleed, and were finally cut off. Later, a line of blood appeared on his neck.
From frantic struggle to total loss of breath, everything happened in a split second. The man soon stared blankly with his eyes wide open, his hands hanging down, and blood spurted out from the cut on his neck, landing on the gorgeously dressed men and women below.
"ah"
Belated screams rang out, and this high-class banquet fell into unprecedented chaos. Tables and chairs were knocked over by the panicked crowd, and the tall champagne tower fell to the ground in pieces. The people who had the misfortune to fall on it climbed up screaming in pain, their hands and knees covered in blood.
Pei Lihuan stood on the stage and watched this scene, his face had turned as pale as a death.
It's over.
He thought blankly, it's all over.
How did things turn out like this?
However, this is not the worst.
When the senior officials of the Heresy Monitoring Bureau present saw the people fleeing towards the emergency passage suddenly stop in a daze, their faces changed drastically.
Anyone who has faced Huang Liang directly knows that his main skill is Fantasy World.
Humans who were possessed by the [Illusionary World] would be trapped in an illusion and unable to wake up. Seeing these people looking unconscious, the first reaction of the top officials of the Heresy Monitoring Bureau was that [Huang Liang] had retrieved the [Illusionary World].
The puppet thread is invisible and shadowless. Once [Illusionary World] is released, almost no one can crack it except atheists.
The deputy director who was also attending the meeting urgently ordered Feng Jihan: "Quickly stop him from using [Illusionary World]!"
Feng Jihan did not move immediately. He looked at the chaotic venue thoughtfully, feeling that this was not the effect of [Fantasy World].
The Heresy Monitoring Bureau was overwhelmed by the fear brought by [Huangliang]. In fact, if they think about it carefully, they will know that if Cen Xun can use [Fantasy World], why would he come out in person to talk nonsense with them and create panic in a high-profile manner?
You know, if you want to create an illusion that is difficult for people to detect, you have to make it happen without them noticing.
The deputy director thought Feng Jihan's inaction was a silent rejection of his order, and shouted angrily, "Feng Jihan, do you want to betray the Heresy Monitoring Bureau?"
Feng Jihan retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Then it's as you wish."
He used the skill [Godless Domain].
Within the atheist's territory, no one, whether monster or human, is allowed to use any skills.
The dazed human returned to normal, and the man who was hanged on the crystal chandelier by the puppet thread also fell down with a dull sound.
The deputy director breathed a sigh of relief. The director was not present, and he was the highest leader of all members of the Heretic Monitoring Bureau in the venue. He had to remain calm. He picked up the dedicated walkie-talkie and began to organize the psychics in the venue to search for Cen Xun's whereabouts in an orderly manner, while sending a message to the Heretic Monitoring Bureau headquarters.
Feng Jihan stood idly beside the deputy director when he saw Zhou Mian suddenly mouth something to him.
Is that word get down?
The lights in the entire venue suddenly went out, and everyone's vision fell into darkness in an instant. Before they could react, a burst of continuous gunfire suddenly rang out, and the flashes from the muzzle bursts became the only light in the banquet hall.
The powerful firepower of the Gatling gun covered the entire field. After a round of shooting, except for a few who were lucky enough to find cover, most of the humans who had lost their superpowers were shot and fell to the ground.
Only then did the deputy director realize that Cen Xun was fully prepared. It was obviously a huge conspiracy, with one thing leading to another.
At the same time, he soon realized that if this continued, all those who could not use their superpowers would die under the bullets, so he had no choice but to shout to Feng Jihan amid the huge sound of gunfire: "Remove the superpowers!"
Feng Jihan released his [Godless Domain] with an expressionless face.
A minute later, the emergency power supply was activated and the banquet hall lit up again, but the entire venue was in a mess.
In just one minute, countless people in the venue had been killed or injured in the gunfire. The only thing to be thankful for was that most of the psychics had very high physical strength, and the attackers used ordinary bullets. Even if they penetrated their bodies, they would only be embedded in the shallow layer at most.
A person with special abilities gritted his teeth and dug out the "bullet" from the wound, only to see a piece of broken mirror stained with blood?
He wiped the blood off the mirror in disbelief, and saw his eyes full of doubt in the small mirror.
Mirror?
Why is the bullet a mirror?
A knife suddenly stabbed into his back. He turned around and saw the psychic with fear in his eyes.
In addition to them, other superpowers who were unfortunately shot also began to kill each other, and some even raised guns and pointed them at their own heads.
The patrol team in the building also delivered the bad news through the intercom, claiming that someone had just blown up the distribution room and all the elevators. Therefore, if the guests present wanted to leave, they had to either go down the stairs or take the helicopter from the top floor.
All the bad news came flooding in, and the deputy director's head began to throb with pain.
Everything happened so fast that they had no time to react.
what to do?
If Feng Jihan is not allowed to open the godless realm, [Huang Liang] will use puppet threads to control the psychics and make them kill each other or commit suicide.
But if Feng Jihan opens the godless realm, if [Huangliang] uses thermal weapons to launch a strong fire attack
Feng Jihan whispered at this time: "Deputy Director, retreat."
The deputy director was stunned for a moment and looked at Feng Jihan.
Feng Jihan said calmly, "We can't find Huang Liang's true form, and we can't ignore the others present. We can't come up with an effective response. Why don't we take advantage of the fact that there are still few casualties and lead the remaining people to retreat in time."
The deputy director gritted his teeth and said, "Am I really going to admit defeat to Huang Liang like this?! He's only a Qing Yi level right now! How could I lose to a mere Qing Yi level!"
Feng Jihan was silent for a moment, then said to the deputy director with a look of regret, "You are indeed old."
The deputy director could barely contain the anger on his face. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down. Finally, he said, "Retreat!"
Feng Jihan once again opened the godless realm and stopped the chaos in the venue. The surviving security personnel dragged up those bigwigs who usually called the shots in various circles and took them to run quickly towards the emergency passage.
There was a loud "boom", and cement and steel bars mixed with dust fell from above, blocking their way completely.
"Did I tell you to leave?"
The devilish voice spread through the microphone to every corner of the venue.
Cen Xun reappeared like a ghost. This time, he appeared on the stage. Under the spotlight, he held the microphone lightly, a cold smile on his lips: "Don't leave in a hurry, our party has just begun."
Pei Lihuan sat slumped at Cen Xun's feet with a dazed look on his face, his well-tailored suit trousers stained with unseemly wet marks.
The deputy director's expression was ferocious: "Kill him! Why don't you move?!"
"I can't kill it." Feng Ji said coldly, "It's just a paper figure."
"How long will it take for the rescue helicopter to arrive?" Zhou Mian suddenly asked.
The deputy director's brows were furrowed into a chuan character: "Five minutes."
"We must evacuate everyone as quickly as possible." Zhou Mian lowered his eyes and said, "I saw that in seven minutes, this floor will collapse in the explosion."
The deputy director's expression turned into horror.
All those who came to attend the banquet tonight are important figures. If all of them were to die in this building, one can imagine what kind of turmoil the upper class will face.
The situation that was barely able to maintain a balance will be broken again. Important decision-makers will die, and there will be a major reshuffle within each major family. The business and political circles will be reshuffled, and the upper class will fall into complete chaos.
The deputy director couldn't even imagine the consequences.
That was more than he could bear.
The deputy director picked up the intercom with a heavy heart: "Headquarters, speed up."
"Speed up."
Yaxu's emotionless mechanical voice sounded in the headset. Tong Ming sighed lightly and placed the time bomb in the planned location.
"There are two more." Tong Ming looked at the remaining bombs on him and walked towards the remaining two directions.
Their whole plan was actually very simple.
The first step is for Cen Xun to be responsible for attracting hatred in the venue, and then let Qin Xiu secretly use the [Money Balance] on all humans in the venue to create the illusion of a [Fantasy World], thereby forcing Feng Jihan to use the [Godless Domain].
The reason why Qin Xiu used the [Balance of Money] instead of Cen Xun using the [Illusionary World] was actually because the Qingyi-level [Illusionary World] had too many restrictions and could only hallucinate ten people at the same time. The visual effect was not as good as the [Balance of Money] of the same level.
Once Feng Jihan uses [Godless Domain] and disables everyone's skills, it enters the second step, and Wusa uses thermal weapons to clear the entire field.
After cleaning, there are two possibilities.
First, if Feng Jihan releases the [Godless Domain], then Cen Xun's body at Nightmare University will directly insert the puppet thread into the mutant's body through the small port of the broken mirror embedded in the mutant's body, manipulating them to kill each other and forcing Feng Jihan to open the [Godless Domain] again.
Secondly, if Feng Jihan does not release the [Godless Domain], that would also be good. They could continue to delay time and take the opportunity to plant a bomb in the building.
The task of installing the bomb was completed by Tong Ming. As an omniscient person, Tong Ming had a field of vision of the entire building and could perfectly avoid the patrol team and avoid confronting them head-on.
Yaxu assists all teammates in their actions by monitoring them. When Tong Ming encounters a situation that he cannot handle, Wusa and Qin Xiu can provide timely support after being notified by Yaxu.
After Tong Ming installed all the bombs, he met up with Wu Sa and Qin Xiu and went to the banquet hall together.
In the process, the first bomb exploded.
The whole building seemed to be shaking, and there were screams in the banquet hall. The lights above the heads also made a few crackling sounds as they shook, and most of them went out. The people who were still alive could no longer maintain their dignity and swarmed towards the door and rushed towards the rooftop.
Cen Xun watched the scene coldly, and this time, he did not stop it.
The building beneath his feet was shaking and dust was flying. In the dim light, he and Feng Jihan looked at each other from a distance, and then looked away.
Feng Jihan escorted the deputy director to the rooftop, and Zhou Mian followed. Before leaving, he suddenly made a decision.
He turned around and glanced at Cen Xun, wondering what the future would be like for this ruthless monster.
Just by taking a peek, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and blood stained his entire vision. Zhou Mian gritted his teeth and covered his eyes, feeling a warm liquid flowing into the palm of his hand.
Feng Jihan noticed that something was wrong with him and immediately waved his hand across Zhou Mian's eyes.
The gentle warmth dispelled the pain. Zhou Mian wiped the blood from his face with his sleeve, pursed his lips and looked at Feng Jihan, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Feng Jihan saw his hesitation and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Zhou Mian nodded, but his brows were deeply furrowed.
After Feng Jihan left, the [Godless Domain] was lifted. Tong Ming led Wu Sa and Qin Xiu into the banquet hall on time and began the last step of the plan, picking up the corpses.
Yaxu opened the port directly in the banquet hall. Tong Ming found the people that Cen Xun wanted on the ground. No matter whether they were dead or alive, he pulled them up from the ruins one by one like picking mushrooms and threw them directly into the port.
Wusa and Qin Xiu were busy moving the black box that was as tall as a person on the exhibition stand. It was made of some unknown material and was very heavy. The two ghosts worked together to lift it up and threw it into the port.
Now that he had both the person and the box, all of Cen Xun's goals had basically been achieved.
Yaxu reminded through the headset: "There are still 30 seconds until the explosion."
Tong Ming's eyes scanned the ground, frowning as he said, "No! There are still five people missing. This is strange. I clearly didn't see them go up to the rooftop. Where did they go?"
"Then! I won't look for him anymore," Cen Xun threw the microphone on the ground. "Let's retreat now."
Tong Ming was a little unwilling. He felt frustrated that he had completed the game but didn't get all the rewards.
Wusa pushed Tong Ming and said, "Let's go."
Tong Ming had no choice but to jump into the port reluctantly.
Wusa was about to jump in, but when he turned around, he saw Qin Xiu dragging a person up from the ground and throwing him into the port.
Noticing Wusa's puzzled look, Qin Xiu explained concisely, "It's my second uncle. I want to find him to clarify what happened back then."
Yaxu reminded: "10 seconds."
Qin Xiu and Wu Sa entered the port one after another, and Cen Xun was the last one.
Cen Xun was about to enter the port when his eyes fell in one direction and he suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He seemed to see several bodies on the ground move.
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to look any further. A second before the explosion, Cen Xun jumped into the port.
The helicopter flew away from the rooftop and looked at the collapsed top floor of the building. There was a dead silence in the cabin.
This was the first time they had fought monsters in the real world after the catastrophe.
Humanity was completely defeated.
