Anna!!!
In the instant the slender girl suddenly plumted, Leon, who had been observing the situation through his binoculars across the street, felt as if he had plunged into an ice-cold abyss!
At that mont, even the concept of death hadn't crossed his mind. His entire consciousness seed to empty out, while his heart felt as if it were being crushed by an invisible hand, nearly stopping the blood flow in his body as his limbs grew cold and stiff with numbness.
The whole world was incredibly silent at that mont. Everything froze on the pale little face with tightly pressed thin lips, helplessly falling. All Leon could do was watch his sister, full of despair, plumt from above.
"Boom!!!"
An ear-splitting crash echoed throughout most of the street. Following it was the sound of glass shattering extensively and the low, shrill screech of tal deforming under imnse force.
More than half of the hospital's windows shattered instantly due to the violent impact. The outer wall of the fourth floor sustained substantial damage, with the tal frawork embedded in the wall bending outwards, sending bricks and stones flying, and leaving the street below in ruins.
However, Leon felt a surge of joy, as Anna, who had been rapidly falling monts ago, was suddenly suspended between the first floor and the ground.
Although she had passed out from the enormous impact and seed to have a cut on her thigh from the shattered glass, Leon could still see through his binoculars the vigorous rise and fall of Anna's chest, proving at the very least that she was still alive!
Thank you... thank you! I owe you my life!
Yet, as Leon excitedly watched Anna being carefully lowered to the ground, repeatedly expressing gratitude in his heart to the reliable bandaged woman, Black Goat squinted its eyes and frowned, saying:
"Not good, this is trouble!"
Yes, indeed!
Hearing Black Goat's words snapped Leon back to his senses with a jolt. He suddenly realized that the impact site was right at Anna's hospital room! The bandaged woman was still inside!
Although the bandaged woman had managed to grab Anna, proving that she was still alive and that her soul remained stable, could she really have survived such a collision unscathed?
"I'm not saying that Emma is in danger, don't worry! The bandaged woman's survival abilities rank highly in the entire Purification Bureau, even if you die, she might not."
Sensing the disturbance in Leon's soul, Black Goat shook its head and explained proactively:
"What I an is, this incident isn't normal. This uncontrollable Infector most likely didn't appear 'naturally,' and he probably knows about the Purification Bureau's existence."
When you put it like that... it seems true!
Hearing this, Leon's expression turned grave, also noticing sothing amiss.
Whether it was the mont the bandaged woman stepped into the hospital, which had suddenly acquired a soul, or the collision timing perfectly as she was trying to hoist Anna out the window, preventing any chance to dodge, it all seed too deliberate, as if targeting the bandaged woman for a specific assault.
So... there might be accomplices? Am I not safe even if I stay outside?
Watching as Anna was unstrapped from the curtain and carried away unsteadily by the nurses who arrived first, Leon breathed a sigh of relief, desperately suppressing the urge to flee from fear that gripped his heart. While continuing to search for the soul of the uncontrollable Infector, he gritted his teeth and asked:
"Do we... does the Purification Bureau have any enemies?"
"Plenty."
Black Goat grinned, letting out a low laugh, saying:
"Heretic Infectors, True God Moonfolk, Ancient Ones—there are so many adversaries for your Purification Bureau that I've lost count! If they ever unite, your Bureau would be eradicated even if it were ten tis stronger!
However, the good news is that your Bureau's enemies are not united. Their hatred for each other is even greater, and whenever one side is on the verge of success, another faction will secretly undermine them, even openly selling their weaknesses to the Purification Bureau, so, for now, you're safe."
After explaining the situation of the Purification Bureau, Black Goat watched Leon's increasingly grim face with a cheerful smile:
"Alright, those are not issues you have the authority to worry about, just focus on your task!
As for Emma, she's a veteran within the Bureau. She's sure to notice if sothing is amiss this ti. All you need to do is keep an eye on those souls' positions and be ready to lend a hand when necessary, just make sure to deliver a tily shot!"
...
Indeed, there was sothing wrong with this Infector!
Even before Black Goat's speculation, the mont bolts inexplicably burst open and the tal corner cabinet smashed towards her, the bandaged woman had realized it.
From the lobby to the fourth floor, there had been no abnormal occurrences at all until the mont she was saving Leon's sister and could not dodge, thus the attack ca.
Therefore, this uncontrollable Infector must have been aware of the Purification Bureau's existence, knowing that ordinary attacks wouldn't work against people like them, that's why he chose such a mont to strike.
However, even knowing the adversary's plan, the bandaged woman didn't let go or try to evade but instead stood silently in place, taking the full brunt of the impact.
Under the force of the impact, her thigh bone bent backward under fierce force, and even her entire spine was deford, causing her to collapse helplessly onto the slanted window sill.
Did she die?
