As time passed, the long and dim corridor became increasingly chaotic and dark. Trapped within, the Special Operations Bureau members took out their backup tactical flashlights after their infrared night vision goggles malfunctioned. However, to their surprise, no matter how they operated the flashlights, they seemed to be broken and made no sound. What's more strange was that everyone's flashlight is in the same situation. So, was it the building that was causing all this mischief? Although the members were seasoned veterans, encountering a horror movie-like situation in the real world made even the bravest of them break out in a cold sweat. "Zi Bu Yu Guai Li Luan Shen! Keep your eyes wide open and follow me, what are you afraid of?" Even though Qing Xue was shorter than the male members and had a petite figure with a slender waist, she exuded a heroic demeanor as she walked at the front of the team. The members quickly calmed down and followed her without whispering. Saying that they weren't afraid would be a lie. However, she was the team leader, and if even she showed fear, how could she lead the team? So, Qing Xue, who never watched horror movies or went to haunted houses, and even got goosebumps just from hearing the opening of "Liao Zhai," now stood at the front of the team. Every step forward made her heart beat faster. Not long after, she felt her body stiffening. Her joints felt rusty, as if she was stuck in quicksand and unable to move forward no matter how hard she tried. At this moment, someone lightly patted her back. Startled, Qing Xue jumped three feet high, screamed, and drew out her heirloom sword, thrusting it towards the intruder. "Captain, it's me, it's me!" A team member with a pale face stepped back several steps in succession. The sword was just an inch away from his neck, and thankfully, Qing Xue stopped in time. Otherwise, that buddy would have been killed by the sword. "What the hell, couldn't you have just said something directly?" Qing Xue said angrily. "But... Captain, you told us not to speak casually before." "Stop talking nonsense, quickly tell me what's going on." He pointed to the black mist behind him. "There seems to be someone over there." Cold sweat instantly covered Qing Xue. "Hey, did you see clearly? Don't make random claims." "No, Captain, listen carefully..." Qing Xue and the team immediately quieted down. Sure enough, amidst the swirling mist, they faintly heard a silly voice. "Captain, Captain, where are you guys?" "Wu wu... dear Captain, don't leave us!" Qing Xue sighed and covered her forehead. "Fine." It was the vice captain with his demonic voice calling. Soon, the vice captain Mo Jinghui's tall and honest face appeared before everyone. The two sides reunited as if they were meeting during the Long March, and they were excited and happy. In reality, they had only been separated for less than ten minutes. Mo Jinghui almost burst into tears when he saw Qing Xue. "Captain, promise me, we can't separate anymore, I... I was so worried!" "You're so annoying, little Huihui." Although she said that, Qing Xue felt relieved that she didn't have to be at the front anymore. Fortunately, none of the three teams lost any members. That was the only good news so far. Qing Xue was well aware of the current situation. After losing contact with the headquarters and considering the unknown situation inside the house, the wisest course of action for the headquarters was to wait rather than blindly sending reinforcements. Because once the situation becomes uncontrollable, it's not just the loss of the third team, but even the reinforcements might be involved. So in this moment, they could only rely on themselves and not involve their colleagues. Fortunately, the corridor was wide enough for them to walk side by side, providing each other with support. As they moved deeper into the dark and gloomy corridor, they became increasingly fearful. The corridor seemed much longer than they had imagined, and after another ten minutes, they still hadn't seen the end.It seems that as long as it is a place covered in dark haze, they can never leave.
People's faces became more solemn, and no one knew how long they would be trapped.
But at that moment, hurried footsteps, barely audible in the silent night, resonated in people's ears.
Qing Xue frowned slightly, accompanied by Deputy Group Leader Mo Jinghui, she had regained her ability to think, instead of focusing all her attention on the haunted house.
No, those footsteps seemed to belong to something non-human.
They sounded somewhat like the padded feet of a feline, emitting a slight thumping sound on the smooth wooden floor as it ran quickly.
She immediately recalled the live broadcast footage of the hairy humanoid monster that appeared during the mission of Group Two.
Because its species and origin were not clear, the Action Bureau referred to the first-time visitors from different dimensions as monsters.
Its toes were similar to feline animals,
possessing the special ability to make only slight sounds during fast running.
So, Qing Xue immediately realized that the source of the sound was their long-sought target.
"Quick, follow it!"
The group consisted of skilled individuals.
At Qing Xue's command, more than twenty people immediately rushed forward. Although all electronic devices had become useless, their years of training in executing missions allowed them to keep up with the target without any issues.
A life-or-death chase began in the dark corridors.
The monster seemed unwilling to engage with them, continuously running forward in an attempt to shake off its annoying pursuers.
But how could Qing Xue let it get its way?
The excitement of the hunt temporarily suppressed her fear of the haunted house atmosphere, and with large strides, she chased after the creature.
The figure of the monster seemed to be right in front of her.
But just as Qing Xue was only a few steps away from passing through the black mist and witnessing the creature with her own eyes,
a faint fire suddenly appeared ahead.
Before Qing Xue could figure out what was happening, groups of blazing fireballs rushed towards them unstoppably.
Although the monster's massive body blocked most of the fireballs, five or six of them still passed through and headed directly towards Qing Xue and the members of Group Three.
Even though they encountered an unexpected situation, Qing Xue remained calm.
After dodging one fireball with a graceful move, she clung to the ceiling like a gecko.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The remaining four fireballs narrowly missed her back, and the scorching heat instantly dried up all the sweat on her body.
"Charge!"
Mo Jinghui seemed to have known that Qing Xue would be safe,
facing the enemy's attack, he suddenly extended his arms, tearing open his upper body clothing to reveal his solid muscles.
Like a defensive tower standing in front of everyone.
"Boom, boom!"
After a series of explosions, Mo Jinghui swayed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Although the flame was blocked, his upper body was rare mostly covered in charred black. Even his internal organs experienced violent shocks.
Qing Xue was extremely shocked.
You see, Mo Jinghui's talent was comparable to tank armor, even rapid-firing anti-aircraft artillery bullets couldn't do anything to him. Yet the seemingly less powerful small fireballs just now almost broke his defense.
Who or what exactly was ahead of them?
