You're Finally Back, Kid

At the entrance to the stairwell, both lights above turned on at the same time, flickering and emitting a buzzing sound like electricity.

The ethereal footsteps echoing from the stairwell heightened everyone's tension.

The Black Wolf Squad immediately pointed their guns at the stairwell.

They changed their formation to ensure that the employees were protected behind them while also fanning out the staircase.

The atmosphere visibly became heavy.

The flickering lights still illuminated the once-dark staircase, and something seemed to be slowly emerging from the shadows beneath the light.

They seemed to notice something long and multi-legged flash by.

What kind of monster is that?

The employee who happened to catch a glimpse of this scene covered his mouth in fear and trembled.

The Black Wolf Squad members, on the other hand, were more serious, turning off the speakers on their helmets and communicating only within the squad.

"Watch out, it's coming."

"Looks like a big one."

"One team fires first, then the second team fires in crisscrosses while the first team reloads."

"Three teams defend the left and right flanks."

"Captain, should we turn off those two light bulbs?"

"Wait until it shows itself before attacking it all at once."

Pat, pat, pat.

The footsteps grew closer.

Just as the footsteps reached the corner of the stairs, about to peek out...

Moji, who had been raising his hand, suddenly stopped. "Wait!"

The other teammates immediately lowered their guns.

Moji's expression shifted from serious to delighted. "Bai Zuo?"

The man emerged from the corner of the stairs, his face exposed to the crowd.

The person was wearing a black down jacket and a scarf with a white Spider pattern around their neck.

He was wearing gray-blue pants and a pair of white casual sneakers.

He looked like a student on vacation.

Her delicate features didn't look aggressive at all.

However, the moment the Black Wolf Squad saw Bai Zuo, they felt as if they had seen a savior, and instantly felt a strong sense of security.

"Bai Zuo, so it's you who's here to provide support?"

Bai Zuo had his hands in his pockets, his expression indifferent, and his eyes devoid of any light, making him look like a delicate doll without a heart or emotions.

He raised his hand, and a person who had been waiting in the shadows suddenly sprang out and, in a way that no human could possibly do, kicked the light above him to pieces.

It landed lightly on the ground again.

The person's body was extremely contorted, with all the bones twisted into a flower roll shape, but judging from the appearance, it didn't seem strange.

They weren't wearing employee uniforms and looked like outsiders.

Moji glanced at the man and immediately noticed many things that were amiss.

"Bai Zuo, who is this person?"

"A suspicious person we caught outside," Bai Zuo said.

The man's eyes were lifeless, and he seemed to be being controlled.

Only the Bai Zuo has the capability to do something like this.

The ability of the Bai Zuo to manipulate people has always been feared within the Anomaly Containment Association. Of course, this doesn't mean that he is forbidden from using this ability, but rather that they are afraid he will lose control and harm innocent people.

Especially the ability to brainwash people, even to change a person's perception—who wouldn't be terrified upon hearing that?

However, Moji did not question his actions because Moji saw many suspicious things about the man; the man was problematic.

Since there's a problem, it's not unreasonable for the Bai Zuo to detain suspicious individuals.

As for the rough treatment this person received, with multiple fractures clearly visible, it's likely he was tortured by Bai Zuo. Well, special circumstances call for special treatment.

The branch office was suddenly attacked in a bizarre manner, and the matter has not yet been fully investigated. Now that a suspicious person has been apprehended, in order to ensure the safety of the company's employees and uncover the truth behind this incident, some methods must be employed.

Moji didn't ask any further questions.

The other teammates also wisely refrained from asking.

Bai Zuo walked in front, with the Black Wolf Squad protecting the employees behind them.

"Lord Bai Zuo, is there someone else involved in this matter?"

"Hmm..." Bai Zuo walked along, then suddenly stopped. He looked at the surrounding walls, where blood was flowing again.

If you listen carefully, you can even hear a strong pulse coming from the wall.

A Spider suddenly appeared on his shoulder, and it moved its two front legs.

The Bai Zuo snapped his fingers. "Come on, I'll take you to see a good show."

A cracking sound came from the person whose body was twisted as if all of their bones were broken, and then those bones, as if they had been forcibly snapped back into their normal shape.

That scene was so bad it made your teeth ache.

Just looking at it makes my whole body itch, and it feels like even the bones in my body are starting to ache.

Moji gritted his teeth. How painful must this be? He wondered if Lord Bai Zuo had blocked out the other's pain. If not, then... Ouch!

He didn't dare ask any more questions.

After the person returned to normal, he dragged his stiff body and limped down the street.

The crowd followed behind him.

We arrived at the first floor without any problems.

The person walked out of the emergency exit on the first floor and went straight outside.

In a building not far from here.

A group of people were crouching inside, constantly monitoring the situation inside the Yigui Branch.

How was it?

"It seems like there's been no movement?"

Should we leave now?

"What's the rush? Let them hold out for a bit. That thing is ferocious. Once it's lured to the third floor, our mission will be complete."

"Completing this order will be enough for us to not have to work for the next ten years or so."

"I wonder who this company offended."

"Alright, who told him to steal other companies' business? A foreign company, occupying such a prime location, who else should we deal with if not him?"

"I heard this company has a powerful background? Won't we face retaliation for doing this?"

"Revenge? Did we lay a hand on them? Isn't that something the supernatural would do? Supernatural beings kill, so if they retaliate, it's retaliation against the supernatural."

"Heh, besides, that guy is so fierce. They'll probably just have to blame their bad luck once they find out it was done by a ghost."

"It's like Natural Disasters and Human Calamities and man-made calamities; they're all beyond our control."

The leader took a few photos of the company entrance. "By the way, where did that kid go? We sent him to check on things, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Who knows?

"Forget it, let's not wait for him, let's leave first."

Just as the group was packing up to leave, someone walked in through the door.

"You're finally back, kid. How was it up inside?"

When those people saw that the newcomers were their men, they immediately went forward to ask them questions.
