Restricted Scene

The spacious hall was littered with clothes.

Their owners were nowhere to be seen.

Only a cluster of pale, segmented creatures on the ground writhed and intertwined like a nest of snakes, caressing each other.

And amidst the surrounding snakes, a woman resembling a noble lady, dressed in a wine-red gown, elegantly brought a teacup to her lips.

Though the teacup was only half full, the noble lady still elegantly bit off a piece from its rim, then, with the etiquette of chewing without baring her teeth, made a crunching sound.

She seemed oblivious to the bloody holes poked in her cheeks on either side.

I've committed so many evils in my life, and this is what I'm made to see!

Fu Qian sighed silently and turned to look at the four people with him.

Judging by their expressions, these four had also been significantly impacted.

"Action!"

The Captain, as expected of a Captain, was the first of the four to regain his composure.

Glancing at the noble lady's bulging abdomen, he immediately issued the attack order.

There's no way, this appearance screams 'I'm the boss' right in your face.

In this situation, no one would believe she's an innocent bystander.

The four-person team clearly had excellent coordination. As soon as the Captain gave the order, the Buzz Cut Man lunged forward almost instantly.

Although the Old Man still looked somewhat reluctant, he followed closely behind.

The Buzz Cut Man was now wearing a pair of strangely shaped gauntlets, and his punch carried a faint sound of wind and thunder.

The Old Man had no weapon in his hand, but with a casual gesture, he conjured a burst of flames.

Under their swift attacks, the noble lady didn't even have a chance to dodge, her figure instantly engulfed.

At this moment, the Captain, who appeared to be the strongest, did not charge forward with them. Instead, he stopped in place, took something out from his chest, and aimed it at the noble lady from a distance.

The White Porcelain Woman Su Gao, on the other hand, drew her blade and stood guard beside him, preventing the disturbed snakes from attacking him.

This is it, the big move. Decisive and ruthless.

Fu Qian knew what the Captain was planning.

Having already jumped to the side, he could now finally see clearly what the Captain's Great Killer Weapon was.

In fact, it was something that could hardly be called a weapon. It was about the length of a forearm, with a fist-sized sphere at the top and a long, thin handle below.

Its bizarre appearance, coupled with the countless electrical currents swirling around it at this moment, gave the fleeting impression that it had been broken off from a Tesla coil.

This was the thing that had just taken him down, the Captain's Great Killer Weapon.

The Captain was clearly catalyzing its power for a big move. In just a few seconds, the accumulated might had far surpassed the strike that had hit him earlier; the blinding white electricity was almost unbearable to look at directly.

Compared to this terrifying power, the blow he had received earlier could only be considered a mere spark.

However, at this moment, trouble arose with the Buzz Cut Man and the Old Man.

A sharp cry rang out, and even from a distance, Fu Qian felt his head jolt, as if his nose was about to bleed.

Accompanied by a spraying line of blood, the Buzz Cut Man was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against the wall beside him.

Before he could adjust his posture, a figure covered in blood had already rushed in front of him, a sharp bone blade piercing him like a skewer of lamb and pinning him firmly to the wall.

Damn it!

The noble lady, who had previously appeared elegant, was still elegant now.

One of her legs was completely devoid of flesh and blood, but this did not prevent her from standing tall and graceful.

Four bone claws of varying shapes had extended from her back, and the one pinning the Buzz Cut Man was one of them.

The moment this image appeared, Fu Qian felt as if his head had been severely hammered, his consciousness blurring.

[Sanity Value -5]

Huh?

Fu Qian was a bit surprised.

Just by looking at this creature, his Sanity Value had dropped by 5 points.

This is equivalent to losing five lives!

The risk of this mission is too high!

After delivering a fatal blow, the noble lady did not pause. She pulled out the bone blade and instantly flashed to the side, slicing the Old Man, who had just managed to get up from the ground, and the floor beneath him into two halves.

In a flash of light, her movements were so elusive that she seemed to have no weight at all.

A roar came from the side. At this moment, the Captain had finally completed his channeling, and a straight pillar of electricity composed of countless electrical currents instantly covered the noble lady and the corpse of the Old Man on the ground.

Lightning Railgun?

Looking at the endless beam of lightning, Fu Qian finally understood the true power of the Captain's Great Killer Weapon.

However, under this world-destroying attack, countless thin black lines quickly wove into a cocoon in front of the noble lady, blocking the lightning beam for a brief moment.

With this slight obstruction, the noblewoman's ghostly figure escaped the range of the lightning beams.

With a flash, she appeared directly in front of the Captain.

An even sharper cry than before rang out. The Captain's body trembled, blood flowing from his nose and mouth simultaneously, and he froze on the spot.

Under the Lightning Railgun's attack, one of the four bone blades had already vaporized.

But the remaining three still pierced straight through the Captain's body and lifted him into the air.

The Captain's Great Killer Weapon was powerful, but unfortunately, his opponent's evasion was maxed out.

The baby's cries grew louder.

Fu Qian watched the noblewoman, who was no longer recognizable as human, and fired air bullets in rapid succession.

The transformed noblewoman didn't even dodge. After a crisp sound of bones clicking, not a single mark was left on her body.

As expected, his attacks couldn't even scratch this guy.

[Evil God's Progeny Descended, Containment Failed]

A prompt sounded in his ear, and the scene before him blurred rapidly.

The last thing Fu Qian saw was Su Gao leaping high and unleashing a flurry of sword light at the noblewoman.

Hoo!

Back in the storage room, Fu Qian let out a long breath, feeling a dull ache in his head.

He hadn't expected to fail even like this.

Strictly speaking, the team's plan earlier wasn't flawed.

Direct and to the point, they locked onto the target, with some members providing a distraction to give the most powerful Great Killer Weapon a chance.

It seemed perfectly reasonable.

He could only say that he didn't expect the distraction attack from the Buzz Cut Man and the other person to have alerted the Evil God's Progeny, and then its mother was just too powerful.

That woman was incredibly fast after transforming, and combined with that strange shield, the Captain's Great Killer Weapon never even hit the target head-on.

Decisiveness led to mistakes!

[Consume 1 Sanity Value to attempt Containment again?]

Having finished his summary, Fu Qian decisively placed his hand on the Mist Door that appeared.

"Yes."

He already had a new idea.

Returning to the eye-opening hall once more.

"Prepare to act!"

"Wait a moment!"

This time, just as the Captain was about to give orders, Fu Qian directly stopped him.

"If you want the thing in your arms to be useful, you'd best not disturb her."

"Those two also need to wait here."

Who are you to give orders?!

The Buzz Cut Man and the other person were furious.

How could he know?!

His biggest secret exposed, the Captain was startled and reached out to stop his subordinates.

Putting aside how the other party knew, Fu Qian's performance along the way made him feel that this young man wouldn't speak without reason.

Seeing the other party cooperating, Fu Qian nodded at him with satisfaction.

Carefully avoiding the strips and unknown liquids all over the floor, he walked to the opposite side of the noblewoman and sat down.

"Hello, beautiful."
