Chapter 515: Chapter 515

At this critical moment, everyone’s nerves were at their tightest.

Enough to become the fuse that ignites the line.

Roxia rushed out immediately, 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.

Baiyu immediately thought of that dead retired veteran.

His room was also filled with this kind of red mycelium.

This is the key that took their lives.

"How did they die? Did no one see it?" Roxia looked around.

The members of the Anomaly Bureau were silent as the grave.

Everyone’s complexion was extremely 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."

A member of the Anomaly Bureau, stationed at the periphery, rushed in hurriedly, looking pale and said:

"Someone has also set up an isolating Spirit Array here.

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.

This Spirit Array is written in the Ancient Secret Language, and its setup methods are very much like those of an Ancient Spirit Array.

It will be difficult to break it in a short time."

Hearing these words, everyone’s heart grew even darker and more despondent.

They clearly came to capture someone, but now they are like the ones being captured, trapped here, becoming caged beasts.

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 calmed 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. Content orıginally comes from novel•fire.net

For safety reasons, Roxia had everyone sit by the door and did not re-enter the room.

In the distance, the sky gradually dimmed.

Darkness slowly enveloped the surroundings.

The Anomaly Bureau usually prepared lots of outdoor supplies for operations, including lighting equipment.

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 came from the Fluorescent Fruit Tree.

The fruit could emit white light.

Many cities and Shelters planted these fruit trees, which were extremely 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.

When Roxia came, she had already called someone to set up isolating Spirit Techniques outside, so even if it stayed within the range for a long time, no one would think something abnormal happened inside.

Handling matters for the Anomaly Bureau.

Neither official agencies nor private organizations dared to ask questions.

They were utterly trapped inside.

And they hadn’t brought much food when they came.

Mostly some emergency food like compressed biscuits, enough for at most two meals.

In such an environment.

The threat of death lurked in the shadows at any time.

If one’s Spirit couldn’t bear it, they might completely collapse.

"Don’t...don’t...save me..."

A cry rang out next to them.

Roxia, who was originally resting her eyes and thinking of ways to escape, immediately opened her eyes upon hearing the cry.

A member 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 extremely 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 same 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.

They didn’t even know the cause of death!

Under such pressure, someone finally couldn’t bear it anymore and began to act somewhat deranged.

"Captain, think of something, 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!"

Several members 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.

The person acting in the dark did not show any flaws.

The situation was gradually getting worse.

"Did you hear any sounds?"

The man sitting beside the lantern, who had been on alert, suddenly clutched his head and mumbled softly.

"Damn it, what sound, stop talking nonsense."

Someone immediately stopped him.

He stubbornly and obsessively said: "There really are sounds, didn’t you hear them?

I feel that the sound is getting closer and louder, didn’t you all hear it?"

Only to find that the two Anomaly Bureau members near him had become bloodied masses with festering skin, hideously grotesque!

Startled, he quickly pulled out his gun and shot at the two of them.

In such circumstances, any metamorphosis would significantly harm and impact the group.

Even if they were former comrades, he could strike without hesitation.

Just as he was about to act.

A pure black blade pierced through his heart, leaving a gruesome wound in his chest.

Dark red mycelium crawled out from his wound.

The body fell to the ground.

Baiyu, with a blank expression, withdrew the Moon Blade and looked at the Anomaly Bureau members with sorrowful faces next to him:

"After a metamorphosis, it’s no longer human.

Earlier he was your comrade, but after the metamorphosis, he becomes an enemy to all humans.

I think you should understand this truth.

Killing him early is beneficial to everyone.

Metamorphosis is irreversible.

Even if there’s just a hint, it cannot be turned back.

All of you, your captain, and even me.

Anyone showing signs of metamorphosis can be dealt with directly by those around, eradicating the threat completely!"

Baiyu’s tone was unyielding, leaving no room for doubt.
