Moon Eclipse
The Earth-Moon Orbit (lunar end), or simply the Moon City Train Station.
In front of a roadside stall located here.
A blond man in a sharp suit was drinking a street-side beverage and eating his own snacks. After sensing that his Stand had been killed, he smiled with satisfaction.
"You've chosen this path, Mr. Di... Young people are so impulsive."
Benjamin had anticipated this move from the very beginning.
The fact that Luo Di is here as a specialist suggests that he is likely a "cleaner" specially assigned by headquarters.
The chances of recruiting are slim.
Since that's the case, we'll lure him step by step into the truth about Moon City, gradually destroying the values he's painstakingly built up.
Moreover, the other party is someone obsessed with killing.
All of this can be accomplished by combining verbal and intellectual provocation.
That would turn this commissioner into a dangerous element.
Benjamin made a phone call directly to the Investigation Bureau headquarters.
"This is Benjamin Stewart, head of the Moon City Surveillance Group. I have an urgent report to make. Investigator Luo Di is currently out of control and has killed my avatar and destroyed the Surveillance Team building."
I am currently being hunted by him and am requesting support from headquarters.
The other end of the phone quickly responded:
"Benjamin, your identity has been verified! Headquarters has dispatched Suppression Squad to the scene. If you are able, please travel to the Earth-Moon Orbit and take the train back to the capital."
"OK."
The Venerable One showed no panic whatsoever; everything was proceeding according to his plan.
Even the most powerful sports car would take more than twenty minutes to get here from the Central Moon Ring Street.
He strolled leisurely toward the train station, twirling familiar walnuts in his hand, mentally counting the crimes Luo Di had committed.
This includes the attack on him, the head of the Surveillance Team, which resulted in the mass deaths of more than 100 people at the Nameless Orphanage.
Such a perverted and out-of-control killer will surely be sentenced to a swift death, and may even die tonight at the hands of the Suppression Squad.
Arriving at the train station,
No ticket required.
Given his status, he only needs to verify his identity to board the bus at any time.
However,
Just as he swiped his card to enter the station!
Beep beep beep! A piercing alarm and a red light went off.
It wasn't because he was forbidden from entering, but because there was a problem with the entire Earth-Moon Orbit. The screen displayed the following in five languages:
The maglev train suffered severe damage at the Capital Station due to unknown causes, with suspected sabotage of the tracks by dangerous individuals. Repair teams are currently undertaking emergency repairs, and the tracks will be temporarily closed and shut down.
Please wait patiently for notification that the tracks will reopen.
"What?"
Benjamin has been in Moon City for so many years, and at most he's only done short-term maintenance during off-peak hours; he's never experienced anything like tonight.
It can't be such a coincidence!
His mind raced, realizing that the train's destruction might be somehow related to Luo Di.
The orbit is the only exit from Moon City and the fastest way to reach the capital.
However, even if the orbit is blocked, it would be very easy for him to leave Moon City with his strength.
The city wall here is about 30 meters high.
He only needs to use his mind to control the guards inside the city walls to easily scale the walls and leave. Then he can simply walk to the capital.
Once they arrive in the capital, they can simply explain it as a desperate measure taken because they were being hunted down.
As Benjamin climbed the steps inside the city walls.
Buzz!
He exploited the sudden decrease in the "Dominance Mark" embedded among the organization's members.
This rapid reduction made him break out in a cold sweat, and at the same time, he realized something!
"Oh no! I need to hurry."
He ran towards the top of the city wall at top speed.
He revered the mind and possessed exceptional intellectual attainments. Conversely, his lack of emphasis on the physical body meant that his physical abilities were only slightly better than the average person.
After a rapid run, they reached the top of the city wall.
He uses a thin film formed by his mental energy to wrap around his feet, which effectively cushions his landing.
Before the front foot could even jump.
Buzz!
An impenetrable black membrane suddenly rose from the outer perimeter of the city wall, so fast that it completely sealed off the entire Moon City in less than a few minutes.
From the sky, it looks like a black hemisphere enveloping the city, its scale beyond imagination.
[Moon Eclipse Barrier]
When large-scale unrest occurs in the Moon City, resulting in widespread casualties and reaching Level I Hazard, the capital city will activate the Moon Eclipse Barrier to completely seal off the Moon City until the internal crisis is fully resolved.
During this period, no one may leave Moon City.
"How so!"
Benjamin was completely panicked at this moment.
As planned, he had already boarded the train to the capital, and Luo Di would soon be arrested by the Suppression Squad, and everything in Moon City would be back under his control.
But now,
Not only was the station locked down, but the entire Moon City was also sealed off.
He is trapped here and cannot leave.
Not only that, but a gray tinge remained in his brain that could not be completely removed in a short time... No matter how strong his mental power was, he could not erase this strange color.
His brain was working at high speed.
The only place I can think of right now is the safest place within the city limits.
Ten minutes ago, on the eve of the lunar eclipse.
The gym on the second floor of the Surveillance Group Building also serves as a training room for the Surveillance Officer.
As a series of heavy footsteps drew closer,
Snap!
The door was kicked open with a loud thud, drawing everyone's attention.
This was Luo Di's second visit here, but this time his face was adorned with a smile that was hard to describe, natural yet slightly stiff.
His pupils were covered by a black membrane, making him look unlike a human.
Ashes kept coming out of its mouth.
Beneath the facial skin, there were even tendrils-like things wriggling.
Raise your right hand.
Raise your index finger.
A dry sound escaped from his mouth:
"Everyone, I will spend the rest of the night hunting down and killing the Venerable One. The mark imprinted on your minds will fade away with his death."
Currently, his illusory body in the meditation room has been destroyed, and his real body has been marked by me.
So... I'll give you one minute!
"If you want to live, leave this building and leave Moon City right now."
The words had barely left his mouth.
A murderous intent swept towards Luo Di.
It was the closest person, and also the muscular man who had led Luo Di up to the third floor.
His elbows and knees sprouted blade-like structures, and his entire body was coated with a sturdy carapace. With a burst of muscle power, he charged straight at Luo Di at the door.
Whoosh!
The pressure from the arteries caused fresh blood to gush high.
The headless body collapsed with a thud.
With one hand holding a blood-stained butcher's knife and the other grasping the man's head, Luo Di, while maintaining a smile, gently tossed the head forward like a bowling ball.
The bald head rolled right into the center of the gym and came to a stop.
Bang!
The window was broken.
The two Surveillance Officer had only recently arrived and whose thinking was not yet deeply influenced, escaped by breaking through a window.
Immediately afterward, three more Surveillance Officer who were very close to Luo Di ran towards him, but they had no intention of killing him. Instead, they passed by him and left down the stairs.
"Thirty seconds left!"
ten,
Nine,
eight,
three,
two,
One!
As he called out the number one, Luo Di placed his palm on his face, and a dark mask materialized under the influence of writhing tentacles.
Only nine people chose to live.
The Surveillance Officer who remained here had all revealed their Corner System and the seed demons buried in their bodies, and their postures were even more exaggerated than those of the Pseudo-Human.
Their minds were aligned, and they joined forces to attack Luo Di at the door.
Hoo... Ha...
Luo Di took a deep breath.
The smell of sweat he detected through the mask had turned into something resembling the smell of a livestock farm.
What he saw through the mask was no longer living people, but completely domesticated livestock.
These livestock are not pitiful; the feed they eat every day is made from innocent humans. They know this perfectly well, yet they eat with great pleasure.
§Feast§,
carnival,
Luo Di was like a glutton, having cast aside all his psychological burdens to feast here.
An unprecedented surge of energy nourished the spine and soothed the mask, deepening the connection between the two different systems in the process.
The killer's Origin Fear are subtly intertwined with the hellish carnage of war.
Ten minutes passed.
Luo Di sat atop a small mountain of blood, a mountain piled high with animal carcasses, looking completely satisfied, as if he had eaten his fill.
He took out a cigarette he had brought from the hotel, lit it, and exhaled softly.
His body was covered with wounds of all sizes, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.
It's just comfort and satisfaction.
Due to the deaths of a large number of Surveillance Team members, their wristbands immediately transmitted the death information to the capital headquarters, Moon City immediately went into high alert.
The lunar eclipse begins.
