Chapter 488 Tang Zijun's Nightmare
Chapter 488 Tang Zijun's Nightmare
Inside the Demon Surveillance Bureau building, emergency lights flickered intermittently, and the sharp sound of alarms pierced the silence.
"Come out here!!"
Driven mad, the old mechanical priest rampaged through the building's corridors like a raging beast.
His metallic limbs slammed against the ground and walls with heavy, powerful thuds, each step seeming capable of shattering a heart. Glass shattered under his impact, shards dancing in the air like snowflakes, but beyond the glass lay only endless, profound darkness. Desks and chairs were tossed about like toys, scattered in all directions, documents and papers carried by the air currents, drifting haphazardly in the chaotic atmosphere.
In the dim light, the mechanical priest's eyes gleamed with an eerie light, and he emitted low, hissing growls. "You can't hide forever, Harks!!"
As he passed each office, he would extend his thick mechanical arm and smash the door, frame, and walls to pieces.
Deafening explosions echoed through the empty building, radiating a terrifying sense of oppression.
"Oh no, oh no, he's coming!" Little Grey said nervously, perched on Chang Lei's shoulder.
"I know, keep your voice down." Chang Lei frowned.
Xiao Hui looked anxious. "He's right, you can't hide forever. If you don't do something, he'll find you sooner or later." Chang Lei pondered, stroking his chin. "Do something...?"
The next moment, muttering sounds began to emerge in the dimly lit hall.
The voice was low and indistinct, like the painful murmurs of countless souls.
The air seemed to freeze, every breath filled with coldness and oppression. The old mechanical priest also sensed something was wrong. He paused slightly and turned his gaze toward the direction from which the sound came.
Amidst the eerie murmurs, a chilling aura emanated from the cracks in the corridor walls.
At the same time, an incredibly viscous substance overflowed from the crack, began to flow down the wall, and transformed into bizarre humanoid shapes upon contact with the ground.
They were draped in long black robes, shrouding their entire bodies in darkness. Each shadowy figure gripped a scythe tightly in its hand, the blade gleaming coldly.
Their bodies were twisted and bizarre, and they moved silently, like a group of undead.
As these dark figures emerged from the crevice, they unleashed inhuman screams, incredibly piercing sounds, like fingernails scraping across a blackboard. Simultaneously, the group of strange figures charged towards the mechanical priest, their scythes raised high. The mechanical priest's eyes flickered slightly; noticing the attack from the black-robed figures, he reacted swiftly.
The mechanical arm suddenly swung up, and a beam of energy burst forth, shooting towards the group of people in black robes, leaving a ghostly blue trail in the dimly lit hall.
The black-robed figures in a straight line were instantly vaporized, leaving not a trace, while the remaining black-robed figures continued their fearless charge.
Seeing the intense scene, Little Grey hesitated for a moment before muttering to himself, "This thing is probably beyond the capabilities of the Netherworld Clan; they can't even break through its defenses."
And as if to confirm Xiao Hui's words, the scythe had no effect on the mechanical old priest at all, not even leaving a scratch. The next moment, the Netherworld Scum was punched into a pulp.
The old saying "many ants can kill an elephant" is completely irrelevant here. Facing the surrounding Netherworld Scum, the mechanical priest simply raised his hand and instantly killed the first few Netherworld Scum in the front row.
"How about we try another one?" Little Grey turned to look at Chang Lei. "You should be able to conjure more than just these, right?"
"I'll give it a try." Chang Lei thought for a moment, then started making another move.
In the darkness, a long-haired figure slowly emerged.
However, as soon as the figure appeared, it was immediately thrown away by the aftershocks of the battle, disappearing without even a scream, along with the Netherworld Scum that had crashed onto it.
Seeing this, Little Grey was completely stunned. "What the hell just went by? I didn't even see it clearly, damn it."
"Uh..." Chang Lei was also a little embarrassed. "I wanted Consultant Tan to help me hold out for a while, but who knew that the Consultant Tan I conjured up was the Consultant Tan without the ability to transform."
"Dude, in this timeline, Consultant Tan doesn't have the ability to transform!" Little Grey couldn't help but peck Chang Lei's head. "Okay, okay, I know, stop messing around." Chang Lei shook his head. "Since that's the case, then don't blame me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of deep footsteps echoed in the dimly lit corridor.
The footsteps were not obvious at first, but they quickly became clear to everyone present.
His steps were neither hurried nor slow, each one perfectly timed.
The members of the Netherworld, including the old mechanical priest, stopped their fierce battle and turned their gazes toward the direction from which the footsteps were coming. Soon, a figure appeared in their field of vision.
A man with glasses and a handsome face walked over with a slight smile.
Staring blankly at the person, a flicker of panic flashed in the mechanical priest's eyes. "A wolf...a wolf rider?!"
Although he knew it was definitely not real, the man in front of him still made him subconsciously take a step back. The memory of that amazing kick in the reverse flow of time echoed in his mind, and his body trembled slightly.
"No, that's impossible! It's just an illusion. You can't fool me!"
Tang Zijun across from her simply smiled slightly and gently pushed up her glasses.
"I am the only six-star agent of the Magic Bureau, codename Dreamer. Remember this name, because it is the last name you will ever hear in your life." "He's so handsome, I like him so much." Little Grey excitedly flapped his wings.
"You're not real! You can't be real!!"
"Just die!!"
Upon hearing Tang Zijun's words, the mechanical priest erupted with a roar. He suddenly raised his arm, and a beam of dark blue light, imbued with destructive energy, instantly tore through the air.
A terrifying burst of energy erupted, even slamming into the ground beneath the mechanical priest's feet due to his tension. It then traveled upwards, carving a grotesque rift through the ground that led to Tang Zijun.
Rumble!!
The violent energy tore the ground apart in the blink of an eye, completely collapsing the corridor.
The entire corridor was shrouded in a hazy mist of smoke.
The mechanical priest stared blankly at the scene, his eyes constantly searching for the trace of that terrifying figure. Similarly, Chang Lei and Xiao Hui were also watching, trying to find Tang Zijun's whereabouts.
As the smoke dissipated, a figure was seen lying quietly amidst the ruins.
Tang Zijun's eyes were swirling like mosquito coils as she lay dying among the rubble, clearly beyond saving.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Little Gray's expression went from excited to stiff, and now it's gradually becoming more and more interesting.
After a few seconds of pause, he finally couldn't help but roar.
"What the hell?! Are you kidding me?! You conjured up a Tang Zijun who can't transform!"
"I... how would I know!" Chang Lei was also speechless, frantically trying to make amends.
Soon, three figures appeared beside Tang Zijun.
"elder brother!"
"Brother Tang!"
"Boss!"
The three sharp shouts sounded so out of place in the quiet environment, and the identities of the three people were self-evident: Tang Cao, Su Siyao, and Qin Nan.
"These people are..."
Little Grey's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He seemed unable to believe his eyes, and upon realizing what was happening, he started pecking at Chang Lei's head repeatedly.
"It's one thing for Qin Nan, a Yellow-rank expert, and Tang Cao, a Red-rank expert, to come here, but isn't it just sending Su Siyao, an ordinary person, to her death?!"
"I want to take a gamble," Chang Lei said earnestly.
"What are we betting on?"
Seeing Chang Lei's serious expression, Xiao Hui stopped what it was doing and nervously looked towards the battlefield.
In the dimly lit corridor, the mechanical priest was still somewhat stunned when he saw Tang Zijun, whom he had killed in one blow. He seemed unable to believe it was real, but he soon realized that he had indeed been deceived.
In an instant, a surge of rage erupted from his core. "You will all die!!"
A buzzing sound filled the air as the mechanical priest roared in fury, unleashing a blinding blue beam from his laser cannon. The beam refracted into three streaks in mid-air, flashing across the sky and striking the three girls without any resistance. "Ugh!"
The laser pierced through their bodies, causing the three figures to sway before collapsing into pools of blood.
Qin Nan and Su Siyao disappeared one after another, leaving only Tang Cao struggling to reach out her hand towards Tang Zijun.
"Brother, older brother..."
Seeing this, Chang Lei narrowed his eyes. "This is Tang Zijun's nightmare, and the scene he least wants to see."
"This is a bloody lesson learned by countless greedy people, and it is also a tacit consensus among us. If anything happens to the person Tang Zijun loves, he will instantly unleash unprecedented power."
Now look at Tang Zijun in the picture.
He remained lying motionless in the pile of rubble.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
Chang Lei grinned. "Heh! I lost the bet."
"You f***ing idiot, you're just here to make us laugh!!" Little Grey immediately bristled and unleashed a flurry of attacks on Chang Lei.
Chang Lei covered his head. "I already said it was a gamble. Winning and losing are common in war, and besides, who knew this wolf rider would be so useless?"
Before he could finish speaking, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out.
"Finally found you, hehehehe."
Upon hearing this sound, Chang Lei and Xiao Hui both stopped what they were doing, their bodies stiffening.
The next moment, a hand slammed down on Chang Lei's shoulder.
What are you doing?
"Wow!!"
Chang Lei shuddered, and his phone fell to the ground.
Seeing the three blood-red words "You are dead" on the screen, Chang Lei slapped his thigh.
"Who's causing trouble at this time!"
When he turned around, he saw Tang Zijun, Qin Nan, and Katie looking at him with puzzled expressions.
