Volume 1: The Beginning of the Flame Chapter 57: An Jianyou Takes Action
"The black-clad swordsman hasn't arrived yet, has he?"
"Director, this is the sixth time you've asked this question. You might as well ask Miss An directly."
Director Zhou: “…”
It's not appropriate to ask directly. Besides, I'm just trying to be safe!
He stared into the distance. The gray fog was already floating, becoming more and more intense.
At this time, even without the predicted time given by Xinhuo , it can be seen that the gate of hell is about to open.
But this surprised Director Zhou even more.
So accurate!
Xinhuo really predicted it and estimated the opening time of the Gate of Hell two days ago, with an error of only one hour.
What kind of method is this?
…
On one side of the cemetery,
Master Ma and a group of investigators were responsible for defending this place. He held a white tassel spear in his hand, which was of course a new weapon that could effectively kill evil spirits.
The investigators behind him wore strings of Buddhist beads on their bodies, but today the Buddhist beads were no longer the main attraction. The real killer lay in the weapons the investigators carried.
A bunch of special cards that have been blessed.
Each one is spherical and looks like a grenade but is also much more sci-fi.
This is their weapon, and today they will show their power.
On the other side, the team is led by another special-grade investigator named "Turret". His awakened ability focuses on killing, and he can make flames emerge from between his palms. He is also a leader among the special-grade ones.
Master Ma and I each defended the areas where the pressure was greatest.
In addition to them, there are five special investigators including Bai Xue, but their awakening abilities are relatively "useless", and they are far inferior to Master Ma who can fight his way in and out of the pile of evil spirits.
Everyone is already in combat readiness.
…
An Jianyou was also in the defense line, slightly to the outside.
The Investigation Bureau had previously built a number of high platforms around the cemetery, and she was on one of them, with a wide field of vision, able to clearly see what was happening in the distance.
The gray fog rolled up, like the breath of a giant beast. The door to the strange world was about to open, and all kinds of terrifying evils were about to pour out.
An Jianyou clenched his fists and couldn't help but become nervous.
…
Fang You stood on the top of the mountain and shifted his gaze away from An Jianyou.
This was the first time he had seen Sister An in real life, but there was no need to meet her. His gaze shifted to the gray fog, which was rolling like a veil, and the surrounding ground seemed to gradually turn gray and black.
Fang You glanced at the game interface.
"Sixty seconds left."
"30 seconds left."
"Ten seconds."
"Five seconds."
“Two seconds.”
In his eyes, the gray mist surged violently, and suddenly spread out in one, two, and three circles.
A light gray mist covered the sky, the space was slightly distorted, and the gray mist expanded and closed like breathing.
One after another, dark shadows quietly appeared in the gray fog.
…
“Here it comes!”
The gray fog dissipated, making the entire sky gloomy. The gray fog was floating everywhere. Some of the facilities that had been built before seemed to have dilapidated under the gray fog, as if they had existed for several months instead of being just built.
Gray shadows staggering like zombies appeared in the investigators' field of vision.
It's not just the outline, it can be seen almost completely clearly... except that there are wisps of black mist around these gray shadows.
Unknown!
Horrible!
The roar, from low to sharp, echoed in the ears of the investigators, making their brains hurt and their eyes bloodshot.
What is even more frightening is the terrifying number. Even though I had expected it, when I saw so many evil creatures with my own eyes, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
No one has ever seen so many evil things gathered together!
Director Zhou has never seen it, Bai Xue has never seen it, and Master Ma, the Investigation Bureau’s most powerful fighter, has never seen it!
First time in my life!
But this is not the time to be stunned. "Fire!" a special investigator shouted!
Following previous drills, the investigators picked up the cards one by one.
It was a very thick and large card, about the size of an A5 paper, with dense electronic patterns on it. At first glance it looked like a circuit board, but if you looked closely you would see the patterns were crooked and mysterious, like a talisman, which it actually was.
This is an electronic talisman!
The combination of technology and metaphysics, the latest research achievement of the General Administration!
An investigator pressed the switch on it, then threw the electronic talisman out heavily, and great force worked miracles!
When it hit the staggering evil creature, the talisman suddenly exploded, lightning arcs flew up, and bright lightning flashed, covering the evil creature and several others around it.
After a while,
Lei Mie was killed, and the three heads of Guixie were also eliminated.
"Very good! Very effective!"
"continue!"
In addition to electronic talismans, there are also metaphysical grenades, which are thrown high into the air and explode in the pile of evil spirits, bursting into balls of orange-red fireworks.
In just a moment, holes were blown out, smoke and dust filled the sky, and the noise was tremendous.
"How about it? Our Investigation Bureau's 'Thunder Talisman' and 'Fire Bead' are pretty good, right?"
Next to An Jianyou, investigator Yu Sudao said with pride.
An Jianyou nodded.
Indeed, the noise was so loud that she was startled.
However, amidst the lightning and fireworks, quite a few evil spirits rushed out. Some of them had charred bodies but their speed was not slow at all. They were clearly just staggering at first, but once they started running, their limbs were twisted and they were crawling quickly on the ground like spiders.
Or it would jump high into the air and pounce towards the investigator.
Or the arms stretch out like snakes.
Still scary.
It seemed that only a small part of the mighty thunder and fire could cause damage to the evil.
"Don't you want me to help?" she asked.
Yu Su smiled and said, "The current situation is within the expectations of our Investigation Bureau. It is not difficult to deal with. The Director also hopes that you can save your life energy to deal with those difficult ones."
"Of course, if everything goes well, Miss An doesn't have to do anything."
Yu Su hoped that she would not have to use An Jianyou.
This is their investigation bureau's battle, and they have the ability to solve it.
On the field,
The thunder talismans and fire beads continued to exert their power. Perhaps the killing power was not as strong as it looked, but it was strong enough. One shot could kill two or three small evil spirits, and Master Ma and other special investigators would clean up the occasional ones that rushed up.
The evil in the gray fog was becoming less and less, and the sharp sounds echoing in my ears were gradually becoming quieter.
The investigators smiled.
At this time,
Crash——
The gray fog surged again, expanding and contracting, and gray figures appeared one after another in the center.
"Second breath!"
Director Zhou looked solemn.
In addition to those staggering figures, there were also a lot of big guys this time.
The three-meter-tall, four-hoofed beast was ugly and ferocious.
A few electronic talismans hit, but they only caused slight damage.
Master Ma in the distance came forward with a gun.
Thin lightning flashed all over his body. This was his awakening talent, "Lightning Penetrating the Body", which greatly enhanced his physical strength through lightning stimulation, while also causing his attacks to inflict lightning damage.
Lightning damage is the key.
Master Ma, who is injured by thunder, is one of the strongest among the best.
He banged the tip of his gun at the giant beast, and lightning burst out, exploding into puffs of green liquid. At the same time, he moved flexibly, avoiding the attacks of the four-hoofed giant beast, and occasionally threw a ball of fire to blind the giant beast's eyes, and then took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Master Ma is awesome!
Killing this four-hoofed beast is not a problem at all.
But at this time, another giant four-hoofed beast appeared and rushed towards another place.
Master Ma was unable to stop it.
The exploding fireworks could not stop the giant beast from charging.
An Jianyou took out the Ghost Soul Banner and raised it gently. A wisp of black smoke suddenly emerged, floated over a distance of dozens of meters, and appeared in the air.
“Roar~!”
A black giant, shaped like an iron tower and covered with rocks, fell from the sky and crashed into the four-hoofed beast.
Suddenly , the ground broke apart, and all four hooves of the beast sank into the ground.
A cloud of dust and a strong wind blew across the astonished faces.
