Red-Clothed

It was already late, but terrifying screams came from inside the residential building.

Such a sudden situation.

Even though these members of the Action Department were used to dealing with the supernatural, they couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Those who had returned home earlier hurriedly turned off their lights after hearing the screams.

There's nothing ordinary people can do when they encounter something supernatural; they can only hide and pray that the supernatural will leave them alone.

In an instant, the neighborhood gradually darkened and became quiet.

A faint, chilly wind swept by, making one feel a bit cold both inside and out.

That's why Captain Mao shouted loudly.

In the midst of the chaos, the team members heard their superior's voice and instinctively responded loudly in response.

"Arrive!"

"Arrive!!"

From a psychological perspective, shouting out loud when you feel scared can greatly relieve inner tension.

As it turns out, this statement is correct.

The atmosphere on the field visibly became more heated.

But morale is one thing, and what to do is another.

According to the "Anomaly Disaster Action Manual," when personnel encounter mysterious phenomena, they should first determine the sequence of these phenomena.

At this point, all we've heard are screams of someone being murdered, but we don't know what the specific anomaly is, which means someone has to step forward and confirm the situation.

Li Hanbin stood up and forced a smile at Lu Bai, "Don't be nervous, we will protect you."

Lu Bai did not answer, but simply nodded perfunctorily, then turned his gaze back to the direction of Building No. 8.

To be honest, he really didn't expect there to be anything strange about this neighborhood.

After all, he left alone last night without encountering any problems. This sudden strange occurrence could only have happened to this neighborhood today.

"Keep Calm."

Captain Mao shouted, then said, "Everyone, don't separate, follow me."

After saying that, he led his team towards Building No. 8.

Judging from the direction the scream came from, the strange creature should be on the Fourth Floor.

A group of people stood downstairs and waited for a moment.

The strange creature didn't appear, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the stairwell.

The corridor was eerily quiet. Captain Mao took out a military flashlight and walked at the front, slowly climbing the steps.

Li Hanbin stood on the open ground outside Building No. 8, staring intently at the window on the Fourth Floor.

Just as everyone was on edge, a room on the Fourth Floor suddenly lit up with a red light, as deep as blood.

The officers from the Action Department outside the building simultaneously pointed their guns at the room.

"Come out quickly!"

Someone immediately shouted.

In fact, even without being told, Captain Mao was already preparing to lead his team out of the stairwell.

The moment the red light flashed, the entire interior of the building felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

The eerie energy that appeared out of nowhere howled wildly in the narrow, cramped stairwell.

For some inexplicable reason, it made one's mind wander.

Captain Mao hurriedly retreated from the stairwell, his face turning ashen. He roared hoarsely, "Play the emergency evacuation notice! Don't stay in your rooms any longer!"

These characteristics clearly identify her as belonging to the Red-clothed Female Ghost of Sequence 65.

Like the Old Man Tour Guide, this strange behavior stemmed from a fixed range of activities.

Normally, this kind of bizarre event is exactly what the operatives want to see.

As long as you stay away from these eerie activity areas, you can be safe.

The problem is that the Red-clothed Female Ghost appeared in a residential area, where the population density is much higher than in parks or the suburbs.

If the Red-clothed Female Ghost were allowed to kill all the residents of the neighborhood, it's unimaginable how far her range of activity could expand.

A chilling wind howled, releasing a bone-deep cold.

In an instant, Building No. 8 was filled with the panicked cries of its residents.

The most terrifying thing is that even though Captain Mao has already left a certain distance from Building 8, he can still feel the chill, which means they are still within the territory of the Red-clothed Female Ghost.

"Just how large is this activity area?"

Captain Mao was extremely puzzled.

Since it's an anomaly with a fixed activity range, it's clearly newly formed.

How come this Red-clothed Female Ghost is so powerful right after she was born?

Captain Mao was still pondering this question when several exclamations suddenly came from the surrounding team members.

It turned out that the window of the room on the Fourth Floor, which was lit with a red light, was slowly opened.

Looking up from below, all you can see is a pair of red embroidered shoes stepping on the railing.

Following the delicate embroidered shoes upwards, there is a long, slender, fair leg.

Seeing this, no one had any impure thoughts. Captain Mao, his eyes blazing with fury, roared, "How the hell has this evolved to the final stage?!"

In fact, the Red-clothed Female Ghost of Sequence 65, normally, did not have a human form at the beginning of her existence; she only wore a red dress.

It will gradually grow bones, flesh, and skin as it harms more and more people.

However, the Red-clothed Female Ghost is now in its complete form.

"Attention everyone! Evacuate immediately! I repeat, evacuate immediately!"

Captain Mao had no more illusions. Faced with the fully-formed Red-clothed Female Ghost, there was no point in the Action Department staying in this neighborhood; they would only be providing the Red-clothed Female Ghost with more food.

I don't know if it's because they don't care, or because they're confident these foods can't escape.

The Red-clothed Female Ghost on the Fourth Floor simply watched as the residents of the community fled out of the stairwell.

Everywhere you look, you see crowds of people fleeing in panic.

In this situation, no one cared what Lu Bai was doing, so he simply sat on the stool and chanted incantations softly.

"Mystic Light Guidance, regardless of distance, it opens my Dharma eye, allowing me to see the true nature of reality..."

After he finished reading, he reached out and wiped his eyes, and the world before him instantly changed.

The Fourth Floor windows are naturally the most yin-heavy spots, but the area around this neighborhood isn't much better.

After he opened his eyes, he could clearly see that a layer of eerie yin energy, like a giant inverted bowl, covered dozens of buildings in the neighborhood.

Sure enough, Lu Bai soon heard dejected cries coming from afar.

As people gradually realized, no matter how fast or how long they ran, they still couldn't see the outline of the community gate.

Looking back, I realized that after running like crazy for so long, I hadn't gotten any distance from Building 8 at all.

It's over!

Captain Mao forced himself to appear calm to his team members, but two words welled up in his heart.

The Red-clothed Female Ghost is already in its final stage. If she were to devour all the residents of the entire neighborhood, the whole city would likely be thrown into chaos.

"Ah!"

"Look!"

"Jumped! Jumped!"

Amidst countless gasps of alarm, the Red-clothed Female Ghost on the windowsill leaped and, like a fluttering butterfly, drifted down with the wind.
