It’s here.
Wu Quan tightly pressed his lips together, casting a probing gaze at Ada.
The latter silently shook her head, her left eye projecting a hologram with subtitles appearing: "Full-band electromagnetic interference, all drones have lost contact."
In many literary works, spiritual entities and supernatural phenona are often linked to electromagnetic waves, which is quite reasonable.
Tick-tock!
The steel fra supporting the shelter transmitted a clear vibration filled with dense contact sounds, as if countless fingers and toes were moving.
That thing was climbing up along the steel column.
Wu Quan felt his scalp tingle, imdiately flicking his wrist and quickly tapping a dozen tis on the chanical keyboard of his watch.
Outside the shelter, four motor-driven chanical arms rose up, lifting four automated machine guns, and extending them below the shelter.
The machine guns, equipped with caras, transmitted the captured images back to the room via insulated cables. After processing by the central computer (using algorithms that filter out tic contamination), the images were displayed on the screen.
It was a slender, elongated humanoid existence with limbs twice as long as a normal person, a highly protruding spinal skeleton, gray-white skin, decaying all over, and a missing lower jaw.
Perhaps hearing the sound of the chanical arms moving, the humanoid existence raised its head, its empty eye sockets staring blankly at the machine gun turrets.
"Fire!"
Without needing a reminder from REX, Wu Quan abruptly pressed the button on his watch, causing all the machine guns to fire simultaneously.
Clank clank clank—
The rotary gun barrels spun rapidly, spewing out chains of bullets.
The humanoid entity did not evade; all the bullets that hit it abruptly slowed down, stuck, and then fell.
How can this be?!
Wu Quan’s pupils contracted. Each bullet from the machine gun turrets not only had live ammunition effects, but also contained trace amounts of incense ash mixed with bone ashes in the bullet heads, effectively blocking the energy fluctuations of spiritual entities. It had been effective in previous supernatural events, until now.
Could it be that, as the task deadline enters countdown, the Curse has strengthened again...
No ti to think further, the humanoid entity, or rather the slender gray shadow cosplaying Gray Rain, waved its arm, and the four machine gun turrets exploded in mid-air from an invisible force.
"Teams A, B, C, and D, detonation complete."
Several kiloters away, sitting in the cabin of the Forbidden Army War Car, the cylindrical and square robots suppressed the excitent in their voices.
Dispersed drones around the city were suppressed into downti by the aerial electromagnetic interference system of edge fighter jets in the sky.
Taking this opportunity, Li Cheng used the Ancient Long War Map to deploy Gray Rain and the Forbidden Army War Car at different locations, with Gray Rain infiltrating below the shelter.
The war car, driven by chanical Servant, switched ammunition to vector shells, precisely hitting the machine gun turrets below the shelter from a distance.
Because vector shells are invisible and intangible, with no visible firing trajectory, in the perspective of Wu Quan and Xiao Yuan, the custor service of the Eyes Communication Headset, the machine gun turrets exploded out of thin air.
Wu Quan was greatly alard. The next second, the slender gray shadow pierced through the shelter floor with sharp claws, chaotically scratching around with centipede-like segnted fingers.
Alice remained silent, taking out an Evil Suppression Talisman with her left hand and placing it in front of her right palm, whose skin folded over, revealing a pitch-black barrel.
Sizzle—
Raging flas spewed out along with the talisman’s ash, burning the long fingers red-hot,
Clang!
Abdullah drew a replica Zorfeical Sword with a bifurcated double blade from the void and slashed with all his might at Gray Rain’s hand back, to no effect even after the blade broke.
Wu Quan dared not entertain any luck; his qi surged, muscles swelled and burst through his clothes, and he threw dozens of inner strength-infused punches in an instant, all to no avail.
’Heh heh heh heh hahahaha.’
A peculiar laugh ca from the depths of Gray Rain’s mind. The last two missions, facing the Alpha Python and Phase Change Demon, those weapons of cross-dinsional war, calling her Little Gray wasn’t out of place,
but against several Level 15 players, the Zelro Civilization’s nanotechnology, leading by thousands of years, plus the comprehensive enhancent by Silver Wing Light Path, was still too authoritative.
Slender, snake-like fingers wound around the limbs of six players, forcibly binding and dragging them on the ground. The gray-white skin on the fingertips gradually cracked, and black blood water was ready to burst forth.
This black water, of course, ca from the Death Curse summoned by the Heat Death Corridor, combined with the effects of the Ancient Long War Map, allowing Li Cheng to turn summoned creatures into ga pieces and deploy them at will.
At this mont, the black water form of Death Curse was hidden three ters underground. The hallucinogenic effect within the water flow was enough to make Wu Quan and others pass out.
"Black water nourishes people, have so more, have so more."
Gray Rain muttered in low tones; lacking a jaw, her voice was heavily distorted, sounding like ancient god whispers to REX and the others.
At the critical mont, Alisi from the chanical War Thunder Guild suddenly exploded her waist prosthesis, revealing a hidden tallic spherical joint.
Being a cyborg, below her waist was akin to a Gundam, rely decorative.
The upper and lower parts of the spherical joint twisted in opposite directions, generating enormous torque, allowing her to break free from the restraint. She stood on her hands, head down, and extended one hand toward the heavily bound Ada, activating the skill called Concentric Displacent.
Ada, a masterpiece of the Whale Song Guild, representing the exploration of strong artificial intelligence, was already considered an S-Class genius Transcendent by itself. Hence, Gray Rain guarded vigilantly, not only binding each of Ada’s fingers with liquid tal,
but also faintly forming a Faraday cage to prevent Ada from casting.
However, while a Faraday cage can confine the inside, it cannot restrain the outside.
The Concentric Displacent skill is similar to Demon Exchange, but its effective range is shorter, and it must be directed to activate.
In an instant, Alisi and Ada swapped places, with Alisi falling into Gray Rain’s finger prison, while Ada broke free.
Upon regaining control of her body, Ada decisively dissolved most of her body, transforming into a pure green data stream, shooting downward.
Boom!!!
The explosion’s shockwave tore apart the shelter floor, the colossal force twisting the support pillars like a braid.
The entire building slowly toppled, and Ada, exerting extra effort, enveloped Wu Quan and the others in a green data bubble.
Once the shelter completely collapsed and the dust cleared, everyone could finally see that the slender gray shadow’s chest had a large one-ter-diater hole ripped open, lying face up, lifeless.
Inside the wound, there was an abundance of Disco Rice (white, lively maggots lying on a corpse that wriggle continuously, resembling rice dancing disco, hence the na).
"W-What is this thing?"
Abdullah stamred in horror. The Nightmare Curse, true to its na, drew the images of generated spiritual entities largely from players’ fears.
But this slender gray shadow was exceptionally strange.
The custor service voice of Xiao Yuan from the Eyes Communication Headset ca through seriously: "The most matched entity in the database is the native species of the killing field, the Living Jumping Corpse, but the similarity is only 30%... watch out!"
The slender gray shadow turned into a puddle of blood water scattered with maggots right on the spot, and from within the blood, an obviously smaller, clown-shaped spawn carrying a machete on its shoulder slowly rose.
Gray Rain had also reviewed several players’ profiles; one of REX’s biggest childhood fears was clowns.
She didn’t rush forward imdiately but stood her ground with a sinister smile.
"Prop team, prepare to release smoke."
High above, Li Cheng calmly commanded, and the cylindrical robots hidden all over the building complex imdiately engaged machinery to eject blood-colored smoke covering the majority of the city.
"Sound effects team, create the sound."
Gray Rain slowly but swiftly took a step, stealthily teleporting to the underground square robots using the Ancient Long War Map, and they pressed the sound control.
With Gray Rain’s steps, they manufactured a muffled, bell-like sound coming from deep underground, as if her power could penetrate the rock layers.
The slightly less perfect part was the square robots hadn’t rehearsed, creating uneven sound intervals from the loudspeakers,
but luckily Gray Rain adapted on the fly, varying her walking speed, occasionally stepping backward to perform a moonwalk perfectly matching the subterranean sound effects.
And from Wu Quan and the others’ perspective, this clown, possibly the Boss’s second phase, could cause a minor earthquake with any step, without sensing any Spiritual Power fluctuations, its strength... unfathomable.
Escape! As far and as fast as possible!
