Those two minutes proved far harder than expected.
The three people responsible for the three fronts were all among the finest managers or vice branch managers in the Top Ten Branches, yet the danger of this operation had already exceeded anything they had imagined.
By now, the connecting door between Buildings B and C had been completely sealed. Neither humans nor ghosts could pass between them anymore.
In this supernatural place, now shrouded in night, the black undercurrents became even harder to detect. They were like parasites clinging beneath the skin of the world.
They gnawed at reality with rows of sharp teeth, replacing it with their own horror until the entire world took on their likeness.
Once the ghost tide reached a certain intensity, the second floors of Buildings B and C seemed to have plunged into a dark abyss.
A thick, choking stench of burning poured out from within, while skeletal faces unleashed chilling roars and mournful cries into the night.
Countless cruel figures radiated anguish, making even approaching the two buildings fraught with danger.
Only Building A remained peaceful now, but that peace was profoundly unnatural.
Separated by a single door, turmoil and stillness stood in stark contrast—until that division was destroyed in an instant.
As a figure fleeing desperately burst through the connecting door between Buildings B and A like a madman, motion and stillness collided.
"Bzzzz!"
A piercing noise emanated from around the man. The eerie crackle of electricity tore away Building A's peaceful facade, exposing it to the storm of terror as well.
At the same time, a ghost beyond description followed close behind.
The last time the man and ghost had met, Hao Zhi had still retained a human shape. His exposed skin had been covered in eyeballs, already densely packed even then.
