The level 4 anomaly quickly became a level 5 anomaly. No one could predict what would happen. There were different forces fighting inside the centre. Every party had different needs, but they shared the same goal for now: Temporarily, Situ An could not die.
“The bigwigs have their ideas, and the small people have their own ways to survive. As long as I consume Situ An, it’ll be worth it even if I have to restart.” There was already a Xia Yang in Gao Ming’s brain. He didn’t mind adding a Situ An.
The God of Flesh and Blood understood Gao Ming. His body expanded as he used his arms to shield Gao Ming. The blood and storm mixed together. When he was shielded from everyone’s view, Gao Ming silently summoned the big dog. The dog appeared from the shadows and swallowed Gao Ming before returning to the shadows. There was nothing in God’s arms. He tried his best to distract the investigation centre.
“Chief, you’re safe now.” The security member with the blood band saw God slow down, and they sighed in relief. The giant ghost brought them a lot of pressure.
“Don’t let your guard down. I’ve found something very important during this event.” Situ An was heavily injured, but he didn’t show it from the way he spoke. He didn’t like to show his weakness.
“The vehicle sent for you will be here soon.” The other member looked back. The car that had been chasing them was hit by the centre. The two inside the car were probably dead. Only the God of Flesh and Blood remained a threat. “One-third of Han Hai’s security power is here. They should be able to handle the tragedy. You don’t need to worry about the east city. Please follow us directly to the headquarters.”
“We’re going to the headquarters?!” Situ An touched his black band and called a number. No one answered. Situ An’s expression changed slightly. He seemed to understand something. “I know almost everyone from the security department, but I’ve not seen the two of you.”
“Han Hai Headquarters requested reinforcements from other places. We were moved from other states.”
“Who is your chief? Was it Chief Li who handled the anomalies at Xin Lu half a year ago?” Situ An thought of someone.
The security member shook his head. He was about to say something when two buses that were filled with scapegoats escaped from the warzone. The people on the bus were crazy. The drivers had their eyes bulging. “Move or die!”To stop the buses, the centre used their cars to block them, but the scapegoats rammed them out of the way. The cars were knocked out of the road. The water flowed on both sides of the road. The rotten animal bodies were stuck in between the trees. The fat child lay on the surface of the water and silently floated by.
“It looks like the car you ordered is not coming any time soon.”
The security members heard the fat kid. Before they sensed the danger, Situ An had already escaped, “There’s a problem with the flood!”
The tree shook. A giant arm slammed on the security members. One of them was unable to evade it. His spine was bent, and he spat out blood.
“Aren’t you the PE Teacher?” Situ An knew Zhong Long. “Even the big ghost is helping them escape? But why is this guy chasing after me?” Situ An didn’t know Zhong Long had already been converted by Boss Zhang. He thought Zhong Long was sent by the school rules.
“Fu Yi, bring the chief away first!” The bleeding member pressed his blood band. He took out a piece of red raincoat that was covered in layers. Without any hesitation, he swallowed the piece of red raincoat.
His bent spine slowly recovered. It seemed like a blood door had opened in his body. Red spots appeared on his skin. They formed a ghost-like tattoo. His eyes started to surface with hatred for the world. Red Spectres represented extreme emotions. No one could summon a perfect Red Spectre. However, after the centre’s experiments, they discovered a unique method where the security member could temporarily summon a Red Spectre. Red Spectres were a special ghost from Hanjiang. The reason for their formation was unknown. Xin Lu’s ghost stories were different from Han Jiang’s. When the centre examined the anomalies, they discovered a lot of ruined figurines and altars. Compared to Hanjiang’s Red Spectres, Xin Lu’s ghosts’ needs for living humans were stronger. Worship could enable one to obtain unknown help from them. With the endless research of the Researchers, the centre discovered that they could rebuild the Red Spectre’s altars and had their living family and friends worship them. These worshippers had a chance to dream of a bloodred door. If they entered the blood door in their dream and left it alive, it meant that they had accepted the Red Spectre’s blessing and had the qualification to become the centre’s security member. They enjoyed the best treatment, but every time they summoned the Red Spectre, their lives would be in danger. It was the reason why there were so few security members.
“Protect the chief!”
The member growled like a ghost as he took out Zhong Long. His body was torn apart, and then it recovered. “If you kill me, the red raincoat will come and kill everything!” The security member lost his last semblance of rationality. He was under unimaginable pain as he rushed at Zhong Long’s punches. The blinding light pierced through the night. The wounded member couldn’t save his partner, so he ran towards Situ An to meet up with him. Even without the orders from above, the normal investigators tried their best to save Situ An. They didn’t know Situ An’s true face. Everyone thought he personally entered the school to prevent the anomaly from spreading. The shocking thing was Situ An managed to escape with his life and with all the info about the Level 4 Anomaly. Even for the info in his brain, they had to keep him alive.
“Chief, I have to go help Zhao Li. You have to be careful on your own!” The last member on Situ An’s side was Zhao Yi. He saw the water ghosts in the flood and took out the shredded red raincoat from his pocket. Zhao Yi was ready to die. The orders from the headquarters couldn’t be violated. The meaning of their existence was for moments like this. Following orders was their duty. They had to do everything to protect the city.
Zhao Xi swallowed the piece, jumped into the water, and headed towards Zhong Long. Investigators from all over Han Hai were ready to sacrifice themselves for this mission. However, when they were a few metres away from Situ An, a pair of red eyes opened inside the forest. Yan Xizhi’s adopted daughter, Yan Shaoyu crawled on all fours like a panther. She pounced on Situ An and scratched him with her venomous claws. Situ An collapsed to the ground. The nails scratched his shoulders. If he reacted one second slower, his head would be on the ground.
“Who are you?” Situ An looked at Yan Shaoyu and Liu Yi, who were running at him. He hissed, “You want to kill me too?!”
Liu Yi took out a knife from her back.
“Gao Ming can see the future, and Gao Yun lives in the past. Since both of them want to kill you, you must deserve to die.”
