At this critical mont, everyone’s nerves were at their tightest.
Two screams.
Enough to beco the fuse that ignites the line.
Roxia rushed out imdiately, only to see two people, covered in blood, kneeling outside the room.
They embraced each other with their hands, heads drooping, bodies hunched over.
On their bodies, red mycelium spread outward like a spiderweb, piercing the skin, just like a blooming scarlet flower.
Seeing this scene.
Baiyu imdiately thought of that dead retired veteran.
His room was also filled with this kind of red mycelium.
Obviously.
This is the key that took their lives.
"How did they die? Did no one see it?" Roxia looked around.
The mbers of the Anomaly Bureau were silent as the grave.
Aside from that.
Everyone’s complexion was extrely grim.
Clearly, they were not sure how these two had died.
And losing their lives right under everyone’s noses felt more like a kind of intimidation and provocation.
The mastermind was very cunning.
Not only was it a provocation, but he also successfully planted fear in everyone’s hearts.
"Captain, there’s a change in the situation outside."
At this ti.
A mber of the Anomaly Bureau, stationed at the periphery, rushed in hurriedly, looking pale and said:
"Soone has also set up an isolating Spirit Array here.
Now.
This place has been completely isolated.
The people outside can’t get in, and the people inside can’t get out.
We are working hard to break the isolation Spirit Array.
However.
This Spirit Array is written in the Ancient Secret Language, and its setup thods are very much like those of an Ancient Spirit Array.
It will be difficult to break it in a short ti."
Hearing these words, everyone’s heart grew even darker and more despondent.
They clearly ca to capture soone, but now they are like the ones being captured, trapped here, becoming caged beasts.
It’s a trap!
The tactics of that Cultist far surpassed their imagination.
"Don’t panic, first gather everyone together; the target must be hiding nearby and hasn’t gone far.
We cannot lose our heads now."
Roxia also cald down inside.
The situation is urgent now.
If she cannot stabilize everyone’s mood, once panic sets in, this small squad may all perish.
People who had worked long in the Anomaly Bureau knew the stakes.
Without needing reminders, they voluntarily gathered together.
For safety reasons, Roxia had everyone sit by the door and did not re-enter the room.
In the distance, the sky gradually dimd.
Darkness slowly enveloped the surroundings.
The Anomaly Bureau usually prepared lots of outdoor supplies for operations, including lighting equipnt.
They took several lanterns filled with white Fluorescent Fruit out of their backpacks and placed them on the ground, dispersing the surrounding darkness.
This Fluorescent Fruit ca from the Fluorescent Fruit Tree.
At night.
The fruit could emit white light.
Many cities and Shelters planted these fruit trees, which were extrely convenient.
But lighting alone could not solve the problem.
Due to the isolating Spirit Techniques, they could not contact the Outer World, nor could they walk out of the range covered by the Spirit Array.
This place was already like another world.
No matter what happened, the commotion would not reach the Outer World.
Even worse.
When Roxia ca, she had already called soone to set up isolating Spirit Techniques outside, so even if it stayed within the range for a long ti, no one would think sothing abnormal happened inside.
Handling matters for the Anomaly Bureau.
Neither official agencies nor private organizations dared to ask questions.
This ti.
They were utterly trapped inside.
And they hadn’t brought much food when they ca.
Mostly so ergency food like compressed biscuits, enough for at most two als.
In such an environnt.
The threat of death lurked in the shadows at any ti.
If one’s Spirit couldn’t bear it, they might completely collapse.
"Don’t...don’t...save ..."
At that mont.
A cry rang out next to them.
Roxia, who was originally resting her eyes and thinking of ways to escape, imdiately opened her eyes upon hearing the cry.
Right next to her.
A mber of the Anomaly Bureau began to bleed from his pores.
Layer upon layer of red mycelium grew from his body, piercing the skin!
The image was extrely unsettling.
In just a few seconds, the man was completely dead.
She knelt on the ground, neck and head wrapped in a mass of mycelium, like a blooming rose.
The sa way the previous two had died.
The only difference was.
This person’s death occurred right in front of everyone, and the entire process took only a few seconds, making rescue impossible.
In fact.
They didn’t even know the cause of death!
Under such pressure, soone finally couldn’t bear it anymore and began to act sowhat deranged.
"Captain, think of sothing, if this continues, all of us will die."
"Three people now, we can’t fight back, we utterly can’t fight back."
"The Evil God, surely there’s an Evil God helping him!"
Beside the lantern.
Several mbers of the Anomaly Bureau said with fearful expressions.
Roxia’s face was grim.
From just now to now, she had been watching the person who died but found nothing.
No sign at all.
The person acting in the dark did not show any flaws.
The situation was gradually getting worse.
"Did you hear any sounds?"
At this ti.
The man sitting beside the lantern, who had been on alert, suddenly clutched his head and mumbled softly.
"Don’t scare ."
"Damn it, what sound, stop talking nonsense."
Soone imdiately stopped him.
However.
He stubbornly and obsessively said: "There really are sounds, didn’t you hear them?
Really!
I feel that the sound is getting closer and louder, didn’t you all hear it?"
He turned around.
Only to find that the two Anomaly Bureau mbers near him had beco bloodied masses with festering skin, hideously grotesque!
Startled, he quickly pulled out his gun and shot at the two of them.
tamorphosis!
In such circumstances, any tamorphosis would significantly harm and impact the group.
They must be killed.
Even if they were forr comrades, he could strike without hesitation.
However.
Just as he was about to act.
A pure black blade pierced through his heart, leaving a grueso wound in his chest.
Slash...
Dark red mycelium crawled out from his wound.
Thud.
The body fell to the ground.
Baiyu, with a blank expression, withdrew the Moon Blade and looked at the Anomaly Bureau mbers with sorrowful faces next to him:
"After a tamorphosis, it’s no longer human.
Earlier he was your comrade, but after the tamorphosis, he becos an enemy to all humans.
I think you should understand this truth.
Killing him early is beneficial to everyone.
tamorphosis is irreversible.
Even if there’s just a hint, it cannot be turned back.
It’s not just him.
All of you, your captain, and even .
Anyone showing signs of tamorphosis can be dealt with directly by those around, eradicating the threat completely!"
Baiyu’s tone was unyielding, leaving no room for doubt.
