"Oh... you mean that guy? He didn't stand firmly when the transport plane took off and accidentally fell down. Then I wanted to help him up, but I didn't stand firmly either and accidentally stepped on him... Oh, I'm so sorry. I don't know how his injury is now..."

Ke Lan dared to say this because he knew that the cameras in the cabin of the transport plane had been removed. The Security Bureau seemed to do this to ensure that confidential information during the "interrogation" would not be leaked, but this also gave Ke Lan an opportunity. As long as he refused to give in, the other party would not be able to produce sufficient evidence.

As for the statements of the injured and the medical reports, he could completely say that they were slanders from the other party - "Those guys in the Security Bureau have done enough to put the blame on others, haven't they?" These were the Hound's original words.

"Commissioner Victoria, although I know exactly what happened, I think there must be some misunderstanding between you and Mr. Ke Lan..." Seeing that the situation was not good, Major Ashkani quickly stepped in between the two of them to smooth things over.

"Mr. Ke Lan provided General Maginot with very important intelligence, and it was precisely because of this intelligence..."

"I'm not here because of his information." Victoria interrupted Ashkani coldly. Compared with the time in the exile camp, her voice seemed to be rougher and hoarser. "Our security agency has been keeping an eye on the Arasaka Group for a long time. Even if this incident hadn't happened, we would have taken action against the Arasaka Group soon."

"So, you know that the Arasaka Group is colluding with that heretical sect?" Ke Lan asked tentatively.

"I don't have to reveal anything to you," Victoria said coldly.

"...Are all the people in the Security Bureau so bad-tempered?"

Ke Lan couldn't help but complain quietly, but Victoria seemed to have not heard it at all. She went straight to Major Ashkani and asked, "How much do you know about the situation inside now?"

"Uh... basically zero... The Arasaka Group seems to have set up an electromagnetic barrier. The drones can't go deep into the streets, and the reconnaissance team sent out couldn't send back any news..." Ashkani said with some guilt.

"Waste." Victoria commented mercilessly, and at the same time winked at her subordinates behind her. Four fully armed agents immediately stood up.

One of the four men was carrying a black metal box on his back. He carefully placed the metal box on the ground, while the other three simultaneously pressed their fingers on the fingerprint lock on the handle of the box. With a crisp "click" sound, a burst of white icy mist immediately poured out from the gap in the lid of the box.

This is a frozen storage box. Ke Lan stared at these agents under Victoria with great curiosity... He could already roughly guess what was in the box.

Except for the agent carrying the box, all the other agents came over and formed a circular defensive formation around him. They all held weapons in both hands - in addition to the injection gun used to launch "active cells", they were also equipped with a black crossbow with high-explosive crossbow arrows in the arrow slots that looked like small harpoons.

"What is...?!" Major Ashkani subconsciously took a step back, held his breath, looked at the agent who was opening the box, and then looked nervously into the depths of the street.

"Sure enough..." Ke Lan thought to himself. A double-layer glass jar was lying quietly in the metal box, and inside the glass jar was the larva of a flesh-eating worm.

This flesh-eating worm is larger than the one that came out of the priestess's stomach. The mucous membrane on its body surface has turned from tender pink to light brown, and the tumors covered with tentacles have a pale color as if they had been soaked in formalin for a long time.

The agent took out a syringe from the box, then lifted the outer layer of the double-layer glass jar. The 20-centimeter-long needle passed through the hole reserved on the inner glass and pierced into the mucous membrane of the flesh-eating worm.

He looked back at Victoria, who nodded at him.

After waiting for his superior's confirmation, the agent slowly pushed the piston and injected the orange-red liquid in the syringe into the body of the flesh-eating worm.

"The syringe contains a catalyst... which can prompt the flesh-eating worms to release a large amount of 'pheromones' into the outside air..." Ashkani explained to Ke Lan in a low voice.

"Then attract all the seeds of erosion within a certain range, right?" Ke Lan said, "This woman... is really crazy."

Ashkani nodded.

"What's the range of this thing?"

"I'm not sure about that, but it's at least a few kilometers..." Ashkani said worriedly, "How about, Mr. Ke Lan, let's retreat behind the second blockade line first. General Maginot said that your safety must be put first..."

"There's no need. After all, the professionals are all here. I don't think anything will go wrong." Ke Lan said and looked at Victoria not far away, but found that she was also staring at him.

"You're quite brave." Victoria's tone was still unkind, "But he's right, you'd better step back. My people won't be distracted to take care of your safety."

"I can take care of myself." Ke Lan said, taking off the Gauss assault rifle brought from Zofia's residence from his back.

"Here they come!" an agent shouted in a low voice, raised his crossbow and aimed it at an alley on the corner of the street.

"Bang——" A light box with a print of a 2D schoolgirl beauty was knocked over, and a woman wearing a kimono, wooden clogs and with disheveled hair stumbled out of the alley.

The collar and lapels of the kimono drooped down, revealing the entire shoulders and most of the chest, but this scene had nothing to do with eroticism. It only gave everyone present a feeling of horror and nausea - the woman's exposed skin was cracked into countless small pieces, blood and pus continued to flow from the cracks, and strangely shaped hyperplastic tumors grew out from the back and chest wall, and some tentacle-like things could be vaguely seen wriggling inside the tumors.

"This 'container' is dead, and the seeds of corrosion in her body are in the 'rapid transformation period' - kill her." Victoria gave the order very decisively.
