Poor Coordination, Sudden Beatdown

The hallway is right outside the door.

It looked quiet, but the corridor lights weren't on, so it was a bit dark and you couldn't see what was outside.

Darkness has always been a source of fear.

These ordinary people caught up in the unusual events naturally didn't dare to venture into dangerous and unknown environments.

Deng Tao and Xia Yun looked at Mi Lan.

Mi Lan thoughtfully put down the microphone and brushed past Xia Yun.

We walked all the way to the entrance.

A few kind-hearted ordinary people, seeing him about to go outside, tried to dissuade him. "Excuse me... um, classmate, there might be dangers outside, it's best not to go out."

"Yeah, who knows what kind of monster might be lurking outside the door."

Seeing this, several other people quietly approached the area, and when others tried to dissuade them, they retorted, "How do you know there's definitely danger outside?"

"If someone wants to go, they can go. What do you mean by stopping them?"

"What if this is a clue?"

There might be an exit outside this door.

But while they said that, they didn't move an inch.

Xia Yun could tell that they just wanted Mi Lan to go out and test the waters to see if it was safe outside.

If there's a monster outside, then only Mi Lan will be affected; the other party won't be involved.

If there's no danger outside, that would be even better; they might be able to use that as an excuse to get out and find a way out.

This can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

In any case, only Mi Lan will bear the consequences.

Xia Yun cracked her knuckles. Although certain aspects of human nature might be revealed when danger is involved, it's just a normal human reaction to protect oneself.

After all, it was Mi Lan's own wish to go out; no one forced her to do so.

He simply stopped those who were trying to dissuade him when they were trying to persuade him otherwise.

It wouldn't be accurate to call it malicious, but the behavior is still quite disgusting.

Deng Tao gave her a look, signaling her not to be too angry. After all, they were just a group of ordinary people, while Mi Lan, as an A-level Contract Anomalist, was very powerful. The other party must have their reasons for doing this.

All we need to do is keep an eye on these ordinary people and prevent them from causing any trouble that might inadvertently help the supernatural.

However, the wink Deng Tao gave contained a wealth of information.

However, Xia Yun, who received this wink, didn't understand Deng Tao's true intentions because the two weren't very familiar with each other and lacked tacit understanding.

Instead, they misunderstood Deng Tao's meaning.

He glanced at me. What was he trying to say?

Xia Yun tried to solve the comprehension questions.

Furthermore, based on her own situation and the current circumstances, she analyzed the situation according to her own understanding.

It is known that several ordinary people who disliked her made rude remarks and wanted Mi Lan to scout ahead for them. Even if that was originally Mi Lan's idea, it cannot erase the malice in their behavior.

Then, Deng Tao, her teammate, knew that she was a good fighter.

So, when the other person winks at her at this moment... they must be hoping she'll beat Fang Yi!

After some analysis, Xia Yun decisively reached the above conclusion.

Therefore, after receiving Deng Tao's instruction...

She immediately rushed out, as fast as the wind.

The next moment.

Several screams then came from the crowd.

"Ah!"

"Holy shit!"

"Aww!"

"Holy crap!"

Several people were knocked to the ground by Xia Yun's punch, piling up on top of each other to form a human pile.

Xia Yun stepped on them and said in an extremely cold tone, "Stop with your petty cleverness. Do you think anyone can't see through it?"

Deng Tao's mouth dropped open.

Wait, is that what he meant?

Mi Lan chuckled softly. He didn't stop Xia Yun's outburst; instead, he cheerfully quickened his pace and stepped out the door.

Deng Tao shut his mouth. It seemed that, by sheer chance, Xia Yun's approach had suited this senior's taste.

Then he doesn't need to say anything more.

So he stood aside and watched helplessly as his companions beat the ordinary people who were blocking the exit black and blue.

Only after the other party begged and pleaded for mercy did they finally let the other party go.

However, Xia Yun's actions did indeed shock the other ordinary people.

The ordinary people kept their distance from Xia Yun, seemingly afraid that Xia Yun suddenly attack and beat them up as well.

Only Liu Ye.

Seeing their ruthless actions and their style of doing things, something suddenly came to mind.

She approached Deng Tao, but stopped two meters away, which was a relatively safe distance.

"Are you... are you Contract Anomalist?"

If they were official investigators, they wouldn't act so recklessly, and they would definitely reveal their identities immediately.

Then, by organizing the ordinary people on the scene, at least things wouldn't be as chaotic as they are now.

Deng Tao looked at Liu Ye with some surprise.

This person was much more perceptive than the others, and actually guessed their identities.

That makes sense, though; they didn't really try to hide it, and they weren't very discreet in their actions.

Deng Tao glanced around.

Everyone's attention was focused on Xia Yun, and they didn't pay much attention to him.

Therefore, no one heard Liu Ye deliberately lower her voice when she spoke.

Deng Tao thought for a moment and nodded without hiding anything.

After confirming his identity, Liu Ye felt a sense of relief, and the suppressed fear dissipated considerably.

Recalling how a staff member had specifically come to her door, insisting that she participate in the movie, she realized that if she hadn't refused the staff member's offer, she wouldn't have suffered this fright.

If she had come in with the group of audience members behind her, she probably wouldn't have been so frightened, right?

Liu Ye noticed the other person's behavior; he clearly didn't want others to know his identity, so she quickly said, "I won't tell anyone."

With the Contract Anomalist present, safety would be significantly improved, so it was best for her not to hold them back or disrupt their plans.

Deng Tao saw that she was quite sensible, so he didn't bother with her.

Instead, he focused some of his attention on Xia Yun to prevent any accidents from happening to her.

Then I focused some of my attention on what was outside the door.

Several minutes have passed since Mi Lan left home, and the other person still hasn't returned.

The corridor outside the doorway remained pitch black, utterly silent, as if an unknown monster lurked within, waiting for its prey inside to emerge.

Liu Ye followed Deng Tao.

She had something on her mind, so she asked in a low voice, "Um... I wanted to ask about that person in the bathroom... him..."

Deng Tao glanced at her. "Didn't you already guess?"
