Chapter 234 Ghost Soldiers in the City
Prince Heng finally lowered his head.
Prince Heng's size grew larger and larger until his head broke through the ceiling.
A sinister smile appeared on his enormous face in the second-floor corridor.
If there were any guests on the second floor, they would surely be terrified.
His back was slightly bent, and the stones in the second-floor corridor collapsed and fell like building blocks with a "crash".
With a casual flick, the reinforced concrete structure shattered like foam, and his vision instantly cleared.
Two large eyes were fixed on the sickle in Li Mingyue's hand.
nice one!
Zhang Lina looked up at the head that blotted out the sky, her pupils contracted slightly, and then turned to look at Li Mingyue.
"Should we run first?"
"I'll deal with him when my sisters arrive."
Li Mingyue's knuckles turned white as she gripped the Scythe of the Styx, her body sinking slightly, like a black cheetah poised to pounce.
"We can't let him leave here."
Otherwise, social panic would be too great.
Before she could finish speaking, she had already darted away like an arrow, leaving behind only one sentence:
"Zhang Lina, you can leave now."
There are sheriffs protecting you outside; you don't need to stay here and risk your life.
Before Zhang Lina could even speak, Li Mingyue had already raised the Styx Scythe and swung it down at Prince Heng.
The blade of the scythe gleamed with a cold, eerie light under the dim lamplight.
Forged from the toughest alloy ever made by humankind, its interior is engraved with layers upon layers of runes, each burning with blue flames.
It actually managed to injure Prince Heng, just like the Hellfire Iron Whip.
Prince Heng was furious.
A roar shook the entire building as he swung his enormous ghost-headed broadsword down at Li Mingyue's face.
Li Mingyue parried with her sickle.
"boom--"
Two terrifying forces collided, compressing the air to its limit and unleashing a deafening sonic boom.
The shockwave swept through the corridor, and cracks spread across the walls like a spider web.
Prince Heng's tiger-like eyes narrowed sharply.
He looked down in disbelief at the woman standing in front of his thighs.
How could an ordinary mortal possess such terrifying strength?
Prince Heng gritted his teeth and continued to exert force, pressing the ghost-headed broadsword down inch by inch.
In Li Mingyue's left eye, a tear, like a will-o'-the-wisp, flowed silently.
The Prince of the Archives reshaped her physique, granting her superhuman strength.
According to that prince, this body is increasing its compatibility with the Eye of Hela.
With each increase in compatibility, the power grows stronger.
Though it lacks magic, its power can overcome all evil!
But... that's not enough right now.
She is still far from being a match for Prince Heng.
The floor beneath their feet continued to sink under the pressure, sending pebbles flying and cracks spreading in all directions.
Her knees were trembling slightly, and her thumb and forefinger were split open, with blood dripping down the sickle handle.
A cold smile appeared on Prince Heng's lips.
"He looks thin, but I didn't expect him to be so strong."
"Not bad, you can withstand my torment from now on."
Li Mingyue's pretty face flushed red, and the veins on her neck bulged.
She didn't have the energy to retort, so she could only stare intently at Prince Heng with her sharp, murderous eyes.
Just then—
Two snake-headed, dog-bodied monsters swooped down from the magic circle that appeared out of nowhere above Prince Heng's head and bit off both of his ears.
A sharp pain struck.
Prince Heng roared and released one hand, wildly slapping and squeezing, crushing the two hellish creatures to pieces.
The foul-smelling blood splattered everywhere. He turned his head angrily and looked at Zhang Lina not far away.
Zhang Lina's face was ashen.
She can summon a total of four hellish creatures.
Now, they've all been crushed by Prince Heng.
The backlash came like a tidal wave, and her internal organs were churning.
But this brief interruption gave Li Mingyue a chance to catch her breath.
She withdrew, leaping a few times to land beside Zhang Lina, catching her breath in large gasps.
Sweat mingled with the will-o'-the-wisp-like tear streak, leaving a winding trail on her face.
"Why didn't you run when I told you to?" Her voice was a little hoarse.
Zhang Lina's legs were trembling, shaking like withered leaves in the wind.
But her cold, beautiful face still maintained its arrogant curve, her chin slightly raised:
"Didn't you say I was involved in prostitution, officer?"
"I helped you, wouldn't that count as atonement?"
She was very arrogant.
He wouldn't let a woman hold off a powerful enemy alone while he slunk away.
That's not like her.
Li Mingyue paused for a moment, then gave Zhang Lina a deep look.
Ever since Jin Meiting and Su Yubo committed that massacre at the gate of No. 24 Middle School...
She once thought that all extraordinary beings would have their eyes corrupted by that supernatural power.
They have long since lost the moral bottom line of ordinary people.
But Zhang Lina's actions made her reconsider this judgment.
She is not stupid.
She knew that Zhang Lina stayed to help her, not to "atone for her sins."
Li Mingyue couldn't help but smile.
"Fine. According to the upcoming revision of the Abnormal Organism Management Regulations, you just need to pay a fine of two thousand yuan."
Before Zhang Lina could reply, a series of chaotic gunshots suddenly rang out outside.
Li Mingyue heard her subordinate's panicked voice in her earpiece:
"Team leader! Monsters! Lots of monsters have appeared out of nowhere!"
Gunshots, screams, and roars mingled together.
"Our weapons are almost useless against those monsters!"
Those...those monsters look like the legendary ghost soldiers!
"Our colleagues could barely hold them off, but they couldn't stop those monsters in red armor at all!"
"They're heading your way!"
......
Ten minutes ago.
Outside the Queen's Nightclub, on the street that has been completely sealed off by the police.
Sandbags were stacked layer upon layer to form temporary fortifications, and riot shields reflected a cold light in the night.
The military attachés held their breath, their guns pointed at the nightclub that occasionally emitted explosions, their fingers on the trigger guards, ready to pull the trigger at any moment.
On a high vantage point of a distant skyscraper, snipers were already in position, like venomous snakes poised to strike.
The investigators, dressed in specially made uniforms, stood ready at the forefront, holding a gun in one hand and a standard weapon in the other.
Although the Bureau of Investigation's operations almost never involve local police departments, this time is an exception.
Prince Heng appeared in the downtown area.
They must be subdued.
If we can capture this important leader of the Taiping Dao alive and extract those core secrets from him, it will only be a matter of time before we destroy the entire Taiping Dao.
Suddenly, fog rolled in.
The fog came without warning, thick like a white tide gushing from the ground, and in the blink of an eye it swallowed the entire street.
Visibility dropped sharply; beyond ten meters, only blurry outlines remained.
One of the observers exclaimed in surprise:
"What is that thing?!"
The commander turned his head sharply.
The sound of horses' hooves echoed from all directions.
In the thick fog, figures slowly emerged.
They were Qing Dynasty zombies.
He wore tattered official robes, his face was ashen, his eyes were sunken, and he rode on an equally decaying warhorse.
Holding rusty weapons, they surged in from all directions like a tide.
The commander's name is Bai Lu, and he is in his thirties.
She was originally the director of the Baizhou Public Security Bureau, and her fiancé was the captain of the Baizhou Military Police Corps.
In one operation, in order to complete her mission, Bai Juzhi secretly killed her fiancé and a squad of military officers.
Cao Ye feared that Bai Juzhi was planning to eliminate her completely, so in order to protect this young and promising bureau chief, he transferred her to his side as his secretary.
The secretary to the director of the Bureau of Abnormalities is not one of those administrative secretaries who only serve tea and water.
Bai Lu is decisive and efficient, with experience in commanding numerous large-scale operations.
Cao Ye's decision to send her here to oversee the overall situation demonstrates the importance he attaches to this operation.
Bai Lu quickly recovered from the terrifying oppressive feeling of the ghost soldiers, picked up the walkie-talkie, and spoke calmly:
"Prepare for battle. Groups one and three, fire freely. Group two, provide support to Group Leader Shenlei at any time. Group four..."
She issued her instructions swiftly, clearly, and without hesitation.
The battle broke out instantly.
Although it was the first time the military attachés from the South China Sea had faced such a supernatural enemy, Bai Lu's calm and almost cold voice acted like a stabilizing force, calming everyone's minds.
The gun muzzle spat fire, and bullets rained down like a storm.
The heads of the ghost soldiers were smashed, and bits of bluish-gray flesh flew everywhere.
But what's terrifying is that even without their heads, those ghost soldiers can still continue to charge.
They are like killing machines without pain or weakness.
A headless cavalryman galloped at full speed, charging wildly towards the position.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two gunshots rang out from above.
The sniper accurately broke the horse's foreleg, causing it to crash to the ground. The rider fell to the ground, struggling to get up.
Bai Lu immediately adjusted her tactics: "Aim for the legs!"
The gunfire intensified.
Just then, several ghostly red figures flashed through the mist.
The speed is so fast that it is almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.
Those monsters wearing red armor are called Blood Droplets.
Even if bullets hit them, they couldn't stop the Flying Guillotine agents.
They rushed straight into the nightclub.
Bai Lu gripped the walkie-talkie tightly.
The investigators from the White Whale team had already informed Goddess of the situation outside. She took a deep breath, took out her work communicator, and dialed the number.
.....
The capital city, Beiman Mountain.
Abnormality Management Bureau Headquarters.
On the large screen in Cao Ye's office, footage of the battle in Dongpu City was being broadcast live.
He had a cigarette dangling from his lips, and amidst the swirling smoke, his eyes were as calm as two deep pools of water.
The occasional flash of a cold glint made it impossible to discern what he was thinking.
My work phone rang.
White Dew.
Cao Ye answered the call and said only one word: "Speak."
Bai Lu's voice came through the radio waves, still calm, but her speaking speed was slightly faster than usual:
"Chief, just as you predicted, the Taiping Dao is indeed making a big move. They've practically sent an entire army!"
Cao Ye frowned:
"This actually exceeded my expectations."
He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke:
"I originally thought that the Taiping Dao would only launch its Yin soldiers after all seven witches had arrived."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lina and Mingyue put so much pressure on Prince Heng, forcing him to call in the ghost soldiers for support so quickly.
Bai Lu was silent for a moment, then asked:
"Now that the ghost army has appeared, we can wipe them out in one fell swoop and capture Prince Heng alive."
"Chief, should we...?"
Cao Ye's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he said sternly, "Wait for my command!"
