The Screaming Deep

The Screaming Deep

When The Deep walked out the door and had only taken a few steps, the scene around him changed in the blink of an eye.

Before he knew it, he was back in the lobby on the first floor of Vought Tower.

The employees trapped inside the building were right beside him.

"What the fuck!!"

Fear rose in The Deep's heart. He had already been frightened far too many times today.

Lin Feng sensed everything in the first-floor lobby. More and more people had discovered that something was wrong with Vought Tower, and panic was spreading among both ordinary people and supes.

The Vought Tower covered by Lin Feng's Feng Hou Qimen was something even supes could not escape from.

"Baby, most of them are on the first floor. The Deep and Black Noir are both on the first floor."

Homelander was not in Vought Tower. Lin Feng guessed that he had probably gone out on a temporary mission.

But that was good too. Without their strongest fighter, Lin Feng could do whatever he wanted in this building.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Like hammers striking everyone's heartstrings, the eerie sound shook their souls.

The people who had been desperately trying to run out of the building all stopped in alarm.

They turned together toward the source of the sound and saw patches of black-red blood floating in the air, forming an eerie humanoid outline.

From that outline, they could vaguely make out that it was stretching out one hand, then hopping stiffly like a rigid corpse.

Every time it landed, it produced a heavy thud.

The sound seemed to carry some strange power that struck directly at people's hearts.

"What the fuck is that?!!"

The Deep pointed at the terrifying blood-red figure in horror. His shriek sounded like that of a woman being raped.

"Doesn't that look like Translucent?!"

That humanoid outline revealed only by blood naturally made people think of Translucent.

As soon as an employee blurted it out, The Deep's expression relaxed considerably.

Although Translucent's body was covered in indestructible carbon-based material, his strength was nowhere near The Deep's.

The Deep could breathe underwater and swim through it as swiftly as a fish.

His body could withstand immense water pressure, so his physical strength and defense were naturally a little greater than Translucent's.

If it was Translucent, The Deep really was not that afraid.

"Hey! Translucent!! What's wrong with you?"

The Deep steadied himself and called out as if greeting him.

However, what puzzled him was that Translucent ignored him completely.

Roar!!!

A soul-shaking monstrous roar erupted, like a tangible sonic attack.

It blasted straight toward The Deep. Terrifying sound waves rippled through the air and passed through his body in an instant.

The sonic wave swept through the entire lobby at incredible speed, shattering every pane of glass in the first-floor entrance.

Crash!!!

Shattered glass rained onto the floor with a loud clatter.

The ordinary people behind The Deep could not withstand the sonic attack. Most covered their ears, vomited blood, and collapsed on the ground screaming in agony.

"Ahhh!!!"

For a moment, miserable cries echoed throughout the first-floor lobby.

Thud!

At that moment, a figure suddenly leaped down from one of the upper floors.

The valiant figure landed heavily before the zombified Translucent, smashing the ground into a spiderweb of cracks.

"What's wrong with you, you pervert?"

Maeve had not left Vought Tower either. She studied Translucent curiously, his body stained with blood.

Since he was transparent, Maeve could not see what Translucent looked like at the moment.

Roar!

The only response Maeve received was a growl filled with bloodlust.

Maeve frowned. She sensed danger coming from the Translucent before her.

But this guy was usually just a peeping creep. Aside from invisibility, his other abilities were nothing special.

He ranked at the bottom of The Seven alongside The Deep.

So how had he suddenly gained a sonic ability, and one this powerful at that?

"You're better like this than when you're quiet. At least you won't sneak into the women's restroom anymore."

Maeve mocked Translucent, then clenched her fist as terrifying power gathered within it.

Boom!!!

Maeve suddenly threw a punch at Translucent, who stood less than a meter away.

Over that short distance, her punch let out a deep whoosh. Her delicate fist tore through the air and sent Translucent flying with a single blow.

The invisible figure shot backward so fast that it vanished in less than the blink of an eye.

An explosion boomed across from Maeve. A distant support pillar had been violently snapped by something, and the wall behind it suddenly bore a massive cracked crater nearly ten meters wide.

"Fuck!! I've wanted to do that for ages!!"

Maeve cried out excitedly, completely failing to notice how terrifying her actions looked to the employees behind her.

Maeve, known to everyone as a bold and heroic figure, seemed to have been affected by something at that moment and abruptly revealed another side of herself.

"Maeve?! What did you do?!!!"

The Deep clutched his head and shouted in disbelief.

He knew none of them were good people, but there were still plenty of ordinary people behind them.

If someone uploaded this scene online, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of that, The Deep suddenly turned around.

The ordinary employees behind him were all wailing in pain. They had been injured by the sonic wave just now, and no one had noticed Maeve's strange behavior.

Good. Good.

The Deep slowly let out a breath of relief. If those people had really recorded it—

Then he would have had no choice but to go on a killing spree with Black Noir and Maeve, even though he hated doing that.

When he turned back again, The Deep saw Maeve's body rising and falling rhythmically.

Heavy, powerful panting came from her, as if she had taken some kind of stimulant.

"Maeve?"

The Deep called out fearfully. His heart was as fragile as crystal now; he could not take even the slightest fright.

Rattle!!

Suddenly, the sound of loose stones shifting rang out, making The Deep's body jerk.

He bit down hard on his lower lip and stared in disbelief at the cracked wall.

The always-invisible Translucent had revealed his face. Within the slowly dispersing dust, a horrifying visage gradually emerged.

"What the fuck!!!"

The Deep screamed in terror and stumbled back several steps.

Maeve frowned deeply and stared at Translucent in shock.

Black Noir came to stand beside The Deep, clutching his own head without saying a word. But from his movements alone, it was clear that he was equally stunned.

The Translucent before them looked completely different from before.

His grayish-white skin held not the slightest trace of color. His blood-red eyes radiated suppressed bloodlust, making people afraid to meet his gaze.

Four long fangs protruded from his snarling mouth, which exhaled black-gray deathly energy.

Blue-black veins bulged beneath his skin like huge worms. His one remaining hand had undergone a slight mutation, and its sharp nails easily carved five marks into the floor.

Zombie Translucent stood up eerily, as if someone had lifted him by a string tied behind his neck.
