He Had Already Lost All Reason
Although the warehouse is not located in the city center, there is still a lot of traffic around it.
The commotion caused by the fighting here is quite significant.
It has already attracted quite a few people to stop and observe.
Some people were even hiding in their cars, excitedly taking pictures with their phones, "Brothers, I actually saw a battle between Contract Anomalist! Were those Contract Anomalist?"
"Who is the opponent? Could it be something strange? Damn it, it's too far away to see clearly."
This person started a live stream using their own account.
It just so happens that this person is also a somewhat famous food vlogger, and as soon as he started broadcasting, many fans flooded into the live stream room.
"Brother Zeng, what are we eating today? I can't eat if I don't watch your mukbang for a day."
"Brother Zeng, how about trying some kiln-roasted chicken today? It's so delicious!"
"Eat pig's trotters, eat pig's trotters."
How about a barbecue?
"Carbs are my favorite. I can eat three bowls with some rice."
"I used to have a bit of a loss of appetite, but watching Brother Zeng eat gave me the appetite to eat something."
"Guess what I saw on my way home instead of eating today?"
Brother Zeng pointed the camera at the distance.
Dust swirled around, large patches of green swayed, and several dark figures flickered within.
It's not very clear.
However, when the camera focused, fans saw the thick, green vines lashing down from the air with such force that the concrete ground was shattered into pieces after being struck.
What's going on?
"Holy crap, Plants vs. Zombies?"
"Has this plant become sentient?"
"Could it be a spiritual energy resurgence? How come the plants have secretly evolved behind my back in just one day?"
"Brother Zeng, it's too far away to see clearly, why don't you move closer?"
Seeing the fans' requests, Brother Zeng couldn't help but sing, "Just a little closer and I'll hold your hand?"
"Brother Zeng is one of us, don't say a word."
"Brother Zeng, speak properly, don't keep bringing up awkward singing."
I'm going to drive your off-key singing out of my ears.
Brother Zeng laughed heartily, then pointed a little sheepishly at the battlefield. "Brothers, look at this commotion, look at this concrete ground. Do you think the concrete is harder, or Brother Zeng my body harder?"
"If you get any closer, I'm afraid Brother Zeng 'll be smashed to pieces like that concrete floor."
"Then Brother Zeng should stay away. If Brother Zeng is gone, whose mukbang videos will I watch while I eat?"
While using a tripod to stabilize his phone to prevent shaky footage, Brother Zeng said, "There are quite a few cars parked around here now, everyone's watching the drama unfold. It seems everyone loves to join in the fun."
Some people, fearing something might happen, called the police.
However, by the time the police received the notification, they had already been stopped by the captain of the Special Dispatch Team.
Kong Yubo looked at the surveillance footage that had been pulled up.
They watched the duel between the two Contract Anomalist with serious expressions.
This is a battle that ordinary people cannot get involved in.
Moreover, the Anomaly Containment Association hadn't informed him, so why wasn't it a problem? Kong Yubo still stopped the police, telling them not to approach the battlefield and that they only needed to evacuate the surrounding people.
Looking at the group of people who had stopped their cars to watch the spectacle, Kong Yubo rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. "Sigh, we Chinese just love to join in the fun. Hurry up and disperse them; they're so close, it makes me anxious."
Look at the destructive power of these Contract Anomalist; with a casual flick of their vines, they destroyed a section of concrete.
If you were to slap someone with this, they would be completely silent.
Even if you hide inside a car, you probably can't withstand its terrifying force.
[You indirectly promoted the Anomaly Containment Association, +236 Construction Points!]
While Evil Mouth with Xie Yu, he kept spewing provocative words and some foul-mouthed remarks that were meant to provoke and wound, even if they weren't actually profaned.
Xie Yu has a really good temper. Even when he was scolded like that, his expression didn't change at all. He still had that gentle and jade-like look on his face.
Only Evil Mouth looked a little unwell; he scratched his neck in frustration. "What's wrong? Can't I affect him?"
The Evil Mouth loosened some of the strange restrictions on his body, amplifying the influence of his abilities.
But his face paled, clearly indicating that controlling the supernatural was a heavy burden for him.
Xie Yu, however, found it much easier.
Seeing that he would only be dragged down if Evil Mouth continued this way, he forcefully pulled off the pendant around his neck, cutting his palm in the process.
After sucking blood, it began to grow larger, eventually transforming into a black, scythe-shaped weapon.
This is the A-grade Ghost Artifact, the Demon Scythe. Its power lies in its ability to absorb a person's vital energy and spirit.
However, it can also have a psychological impact on the person holding it.
Just as Evil Mouth grasped the Demon Scythe, his vision blurred, and he saw a white-haired witch in a magnificent black robe, holding a scythe and smiling at him, "What do you want? I can give you anything you desire, as long as you offer up your soul."
Evil Mouth shook his head, wielding the Demon Scythe. The Demon Scythe tore through space and swiftly slashed towards Xie Yu.
It seemed to have some kind of guaranteed hit effect; Xie Yu couldn't dodge it at all and could only pay the price of a scratch on his arm to avoid it cutting into his abdomen.
Xie Yu felt something being taken away from her as the sickle brushed past her.
Xie Yu could feel that her usually very stable emotions became somewhat agitated as she was attacked by the scythe.
An unprecedented surge of rage and destructive intent arose.
A hint of bloodlust crept into Xie Yu green eyes. He frowned, realizing he had been affected by that strange, Anomaly Artifact.
He laughed Evil Mouth, "Captain Xie, may you continue to wallow in this despair!"
"Come on, become a part of it, and unleash your power!"
An eerie aura surged within Evil Mouth, and taking advantage of Xie Yu's mental confusion, he suddenly took control of him, injecting even more chaotic emotions into him.
Evil Mouth felt a significant amount of blood being drained from his body; the strange ability had been successfully activated.
He Evil Mouth smugly, then controlled Xie Yu; this battle should end now.
Hearing the Evil Mouth laughter, Love Resentment knew he had succeeded.
So he put away the vines and returned to the side of the Evil Mouth.
"How about it?"
Evil Mouth curled his lips. "He's finished. Even if I can't control him for a while, he'll probably be affected by those emotions and turn into a madman who doesn't recognize his own family and goes on a killing spree."
"Let's go. We won this time. As for those two newbies, Captain Xie will take care of them."
"If he knew he had personally killed the new recruit he was in charge of, he'd probably look devastated, right? Although, he might not be able to come to his senses."
The Evil Mouth and Love Resentment are about to be withdrawn.
Jiang Tianzong sensed something was wrong with Xie Yu. He shouted at Xie Yu, who was standing motionless, "Captain!"
Even as he left, he couldn't resist adding insult to Evil Mouth: "It's no use, he's lost all his senses."
