"Lamp Man"

The physical body, formed by various cables running through it, can regenerate indefinitely as long as there is any searchlight.

Within the Supervision Office area, they are almost immortal beings.

It's quite impressive that Abel was able to kill one of them single-handedly.

With Han Dong's reminder, Abel immediately suppressed his violent and bestial nature and fled in the opposite direction of the Lamp Man's shape... However, there was still some distance to go before reaching the underground staircase leading to Mr. Aha.

Upon reaching each passage, all the searchlights would immediately lose their illumination effect due to the old woman on Han Dong's back, caused by the "Kaidan Nullification".

This made Mia look at the old woman with a strange expression, as if she had noticed some important details.

Just when the team thought that without the lights, "Lamp Man" would have no chance of catching up.

Click!

Without warning, numerous cracks appeared on the cement walls of all the passageways in the Supervision Office.

The old lady reached out and tried to close the wall again.

Sizzle! But it was bounced off by the electric arcs leaping between the walls.

Click click...

The cement wall completely collapsed.

Thousands of spare searchlights rolled out from inside... You could even say that the Supervision Office was essentially made up of these searchlights, only with a cement wall painted on the outside.

The number of searchlights was terrifying.

As a result, the old woman's "Kaidan Nullification" effect could not disable all the searchlights in a short time, and several still rolled out, their lights shining on the team members.

Sizzle sizzle...

A wave of electromagnetic interference echoed through the channel.

"Lamp Man" immediately used a searchlight here as a basis to construct his own body.

With the old woman on his back, Han Dong naturally couldn't make a move.

However, the instant the Lamp Man formed, a fiery red ponytail brushed past Han Dong's cheek... The first one to rush out was Wen Li.

Having confirmed that wearing a sealed iron helmet could greatly reduce electromagnetic interference, Winry wanted to do something for the team.

Sizzle!

The electromagnetic interference effect is only 20%, and the duration of the impact is greatly reduced.

While Winry was in a state of unconsciousness, the giant axe in the Lamp Man's hand had only just been raised and swung... during which time Winry still had enough time to respond.

There was no dodging.

He grabbed the iron hammer and smashed it against the giant axe.

A clash of strength.

Boom! Rings of Electric Pulse rippled outwards from the point of impact.

Wenli was knocked back a distance, and at the same time, a strong electric current surged through the surface of her wrist... but for Wenli's special physique, the impact was not significant.

Relatively speaking.

After being struck by Lamp Man's heavy blow...

The powerful impact completely broke the Lamp Man's arm.

At the point where the arm was severed, broken wires with electric arcs were exposed... Just as the Lamp Man was trying to reconnect the wires to heal his arm.

Mia took over.

He severed the searchlight he was carrying in one stroke.

He severed his head, which was wearing a pointed helmet, with a single stroke.

Slay him.

The moment the Lamp Man fell to the ground... zzzz! Electromagnetic interference stunned everyone, and the corpse turned into a pool of black water.

Another searchlight began to grow flesh and blood.

Each normal searchlight represents a "Lamp Man," and once trapped, there is only one way out: death.

"Run!"

The Lamp Man Movement Speed.

Whenever a light shines on a team member, electromagnetic interference is immediately triggered... Instead of slowly chasing after them, the "Lamp Man" will randomly find a searchlight in the area closest to the team and construct his own body after the electromagnetic interference.

Where there are searchlights, there are Lamp Man.

The squad members went all out.

Eliminate the Lamp Man blocking your path as quickly as possible...

Sizzle!

Every time they hear an electromagnetic sound, everyone feels a pang of anxiety.

Each time the Lamp Man is reborn, his strength and pressure remain undiminished.

However, the team's physical strength was constantly being depleted during this process.

The density of searchlights piled up in the passageway was too high, and you could be hit by their light at any time... Roughly calculated, on average, a brand new "Lamp Man" would appear after you killed Lamp Man.

Clang!

Taking advantage of the time difference caused by the electromagnetic interference, coupled with some fatigue and distraction, Wenli was unable to dodge.

The axe landed heavily on Winry's shoulder.

Sizzle! A spark flew out.

Winry was forced to her knees by a force... Even Though the axe completely cleaved through the armor on Winry's shoulders, it failed to damage her body.

Mia immediately stepped in, wielding her demon-slaying sword and slicing the Lamp Man in Waist Slash at the waist.

"Luckily it's Winry... If it were someone else, they'd probably be cleaved in two. The entrance to the underground staircase is just around the corner, hurry!"

During the time that the Lamp Man is resurrected.

The group managed to get into the stairwell before the giant axe fell.

The Lamp Man was seen standing at the entrance of the building, showing no intention of chasing after them.

First, because there are no searchlights below for him to observe and regenerate.

Secondly, it seems to be afraid of Mr. Aha, who is imprisoned in the Depths.

"Winnie, let me see!"

Wenli's body had a terrifying defense, managing to block the axe's blows, but her skin was still broken and blood was trickling down her shoulder... Moreover, Han Dong observed a horrifying detail.

There were even some electrical wires that seemed to have come from nowhere running through the wound.

Winnie herself didn't feel anything.

These wires, as if alive, split wildly within the wound and tried to burrow into Wenli's body.

"This is..."

Just as Han Dong was trying to pull out the wires.

The old woman behind him reached out, and all the twisting wires lost their activity and detached from his skin... zzzz! They fell to the ground, turned into sparks of electricity, and disappeared.

"Thanks..."

Wenli stared at the empty old woman, still feeling somewhat afraid.

The doll in the old woman's hands uttered a kind voice. "Haha, what a kind girl..."

As Han Dong descended the stairs, he began to try to complete an extra task – [mediating the relationship between husband and wife].

"Grandma, we were sent by Mr. Aha to rescue you."

"I know," the old woman replied calmly.

"So... are we willing to take Grandma to see him now?"

"That bastard is indeed quite annoying... However, considering that you young people are all kind-hearted, I won't hold it against you... After all, I need to get you out of the Supervision Office as soon as possible."

The longer you stay down here, the more dangerous it will be for you.

[The lamp] is not so easy to deal with...

"Thank you, Grandma."

The unexpected understanding made everything go much more smoothly.

Han Dong planned to ask about the old woman after he had completely escaped from the Supervision Office and the lighthouse.

Proceed along the passage filled with malevolent energy.

The Biomass Door is completely open.

Mr. Aha was already prepared to welcome his wife.

A washboard lay flat at the doorway, and I knelt on it in a very practiced manner.

"Honey, you're back!"
