"Yes, the Calamity Beast has emerged."
Shen Heng raised his hand and lightly pressed the button on his headset, replying succinctly:
"We were wrong before. It's not Calamity Beast that exerts mental influence, but a new type of parasitic Calamity Beast."
"They live inside people's bodies and then control their actions."
"Huh? There are such Calamity Beast?" Wei Leyang's questioning voice came through the earpiece.
Among the Calamity Beast that the Supervision Bureau has recorded so far, there is no information on parasitic Calamity Beast.
Two types of Calamity Beast capable of exerting mental influence have been identified.
This is why Shen Heng and Wang Hai immediately suspected it was a mental-type Calamity Beast after the incident.
"The files on the Calamity Beast were built up little by little. Even if you told me that Calamity Beast daring to call itself a god would appear in the future, I would believe it," Shen Heng replied.
"Where is that Calamity Beast now? What level is it?" Wei Leyang asked.
" The Calamity Beast is now..."
Shen Heng paused, then looked over.
Hundreds of meters away, Lin Xiaoyu, who had been trying to get out of the Origin Power Barrier, quickly turned around and ran towards the building after seeing me come out.
The two were a bit far apart, and Shen Heng couldn't stop her. He could only watch as she climbed in through an open window on the second floor.
Soon, screams erupted from that office.
"Hey, Shen Heng, what's wrong?"
Shen Heng frowned slightly as he looked at the direction from which the sounds of panic and scattering had come.
He raised his hand and pressed a button on his headset, replying:
" The Calamity Beast may have changed its host now, and it seems to have some uncertain abilities, which means that with so many people around, I can't be sure who the Calamity Beast is parasitizing."
"Hmm? What do we do now?"
Shen Heng frowned and pondered for a moment, then said:
" The Realm-Suppressing Stake have been activated; the Calamity Beast can't escape. Now, what's next..."
"Okay, I understand. I'll get there as soon as possible!"
"Ah, me too!"
"Tsk, why isn't this Calamity Beast playing by the rules?"
The voices of Wang Hai, Han Ling, and Wu Cheng came through the earpiece in turn.
After completing the task assigned in the notification, Le Gu Nan let out a soft sigh and said:
"Then I'll stop here for now. Shen Heng just asked me to do other things!"
"Okay, go ahead!" Wang Hai replied.
"Hehe, Gu Nan, good luck!" Han Ling laughed.
"Um!"
Le Gu Nan responded softly and raised his hand to turn off the instant messaging on his headset.
She glanced at the figure that had just climbed through the window Lin Xiaoyu had entered, then turned and ran quickly toward the gate of the Haiguang Public Security Sub-Bureau.
The same people were still in the reception hall, but now they were huddled in the corners.
Further away, a few noisy sounds arose, as if some people were running this way.
Le Gu Nan took a light breath, turned her head to look at the people scattered throughout the reception hall, her gaze lingering on the family of three embracing each other, and said:
"It's safe outside for now, you all need to get out quickly and get as far away as possible!"
Everyone glanced instinctively at the girl standing at the door, then turned their attention to another spot.
There, a uniformed police officer was hiding behind a bench; it was she who had just told them to find a place to hide.
Upon hearing the voice, the police officer peeked out from behind the stool, and his eyes lit up when he saw that it was Le Gu Nan who had just spoken.
"Comrade Inspector, is it safe outside?"
"Okay, you guys should hurry up and get out of here, otherwise it'll be even more troublesome if you're any later!" Le Gu Nan nodded.
Upon hearing this, the police officer breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, calling out to the others:
"Alright, everyone, let's get out of here!"
Hearing the officer speak, the others breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, running outside.
Le Gu Nan stood to the side watching them.
Suddenly, a soft, sweet voice rang out.
"Sister, aren't you leaving?"
Le Gu Nan glanced at the little girl being led by her parents and smiled gently:
"Sister, it's alright. You should hurry and go with Mom and Dad!"
The little girl nodded and smiled, "Yes, thank you for your help, big sister!"
Le Gu Nan smiled and glanced at the little girl who was leaving with her parents. She then looked away and fixed her gaze on the two approaching police officers.
"I'll have to trouble you to notify them in the group chat."
"Tell the other officers to find somewhere to hide and stay put. Of course, if danger arises, they should run towards the door."
"But don't trust anyone you're only seeing now, even if they might be a friend you know!"
After the two police officers acknowledged and left, Le Gu Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
She slowly stopped about ten meters from the entrance of a long corridor connecting the reception hall to the interior and waited.
A moment later, a faster-running figure appeared before her, followed by two slower-running figures.
"Don't come near me, run towards the door!" Le Gu Nan pointed to the door.
The officer was a little confused, but since they all knew people from the Supervision Bureau, they didn't think much of it and ran straight towards the door.
Le Gu Nan gently turned his head, his gaze following the figure as it moved.
She only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the other party had left the reception hall, and then turned her attention back to the corridor.
This is to prevent the Calamity Beast from trying to sneak out under the cover of darkness, only to kill people when they find they can't get out.
Looking at the two police officers who were about to reach the corridor, Le Gu Nan called out.
"Stop for a moment, let one person go first!"
However, the two officers seemed not to hear them and continued running forward.
Le Gu Nan shouted again, but the two police officers continued running straight ahead.
Seeing this, Le Gu Nan frowned slightly, at a loss for what to do.
She pondered for a moment, and a figure seemed to flash through her mind.
What would the other person do?
In a moment, she slowly raised her hand.
Silver-gray threads extended from her pocket and converged in front of her palm, gradually forming a cone-shaped object.
She slowly pushed her palm forward, and the creation suddenly flew forward, crashing directly into the ground a few meters in front of the two police officers.
"Um, please stop for a moment and walk out one by one!" the gentle voice rang out again.
The two officers finally stopped and looked up at the girl with a gentle yet determined face not far ahead.
One of the officers said tremblingly:
"But what about behind us..."
On the long corridor.
A somewhat chubby figure was jogging forward quickly.
"What kind of nonsense is this about finding a room to hide in and staying to see if the Calamity Beast will come after me? That's just not for someone as unlucky as me!"
"Besides, the message said to run towards the door if there's danger, which means things aren't too dangerous yet. I just need to take this opportunity to get to the door."
"Getting to the third floor won't take too long!"
Wu Yongfeng comforted himself as he ran.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from around the corner ahead.
Wu Yongfeng quickly stopped and looked at the figure with some caution.
Although the news just now didn't go into too much detail, as police officers who knew about the Calamity Beast, they could easily guess that the message about not trusting others was related to the Calamity Beast.
