Chapter 448: He Is the Protagonist of the Sewer?!

"That man, Zheng Hang was eaten?!"

Several members of Dui peered from a distant pipe with hidden gazes.

Red Dragonfly blinked and said with a smile:

"Emcee, take a look, our future captain—no, member seems to have been eaten."

The Emcee kept his eyes tightly shut, refusing to open them, a contemptuous cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

The Beast lowered his voice and said:

"That scientist named Zuo Bai has some skill; it seems even an S-rank evil organization has some decent talent."

The bald man picked a mouse hair from between his teeth with his teeth and said indistinctly:

"Small organizations occasionally produce a few geniuses, but they are like frogs at the bottom of a well, with pitifully narrow horizons, yet they think themselves favored by Fate."

"Little do they know, if the sky were to fall, the first to be crushed into White Bone Fragments would be these people who think themselves tall."

The bald man paused, his voice becoming low and serious:

"Opportunity is rare, everyone open your eyes wide, observe carefully, gather all information on Zheng Hang for me."

"Whether he becomes our teammate or our enemy in the future, we must know him inside out."

Hearing this, Red Dragonfly immediately put away the frivolity on her face, her expression becoming focused, looking seriously at the target while saying:

"Zheng Hang can transform into a Shadow; assuming this ability comes from the Curse of the Evil Sacrifice raised within him, then according to what the Emcee glimpsed, that is to say, Zheng Hang should have another four strange abilities."

The Emcee finally spoke, correcting Red Dragonfly's mistake:

"At least four more. As far as I know, most Curses of the Evil Sacrifice possess only one strange ability, but not absolutely. Some Curses possess multiple abilities; we cannot determine which kind Zheng Hang's Curse is."

"In any case, we must be extremely cautious and make full preparations before attempting to contact him."

The Beast and the other two nodded, their expressions growing increasingly grave.

They naturally hoped Zheng Hang would accept Destiny's goodwill.

Otherwise...

They naturally had no doubt that Destiny had the power to judge and sentence any Heretic.

But if things truly developed to that point, then as Dui, who first discovered Zheng Hang and tried to formulate a plan to contact him, they would probably all have to extremely "proudly" offer up death to Destiny.

Dui was willing to offer up death to Destiny, but they had always kept a low profile; for now, they did not want to be so "proud."

Everyone fell silent for a moment, and the Beast spoke first:

"Very obviously, Zheng Hang is hiding his strength; he is holding back against Zuo Bai."

Red Dragonfly nodded and echoed:

"The strength Zuo Bai displayed is not bad either. But Zheng Hang is raising five Curses of the Evil Sacrifice within him, not a Parasite like Feng Yuhuai. According to the Emcee, this is a level infinitely close to the Thirteen Seats. Theoretically, let alone a mere Zuo Bai, even the entire E Corpse Cult combined would be slapped to death by him."

The Emcee furrowed his brow, seemingly unable to think of another explanation, and could only say in a low voice:

"These eyes of mine have seen many people hiding their strength before. But someone like Zheng Hang, who hides almost all his strength and only reveals a 'strand of hair' on the outside, I am seeing for the first time."

"This approach... is indeed a bit too ruthless."

The bald Captain pondered for a moment and continued:

"He should be afraid of scaring away the Curse behind Feng Yuhuai; he is playing Feng Yuhuai's lover, taking the opportunity to stage a 'hero saving the beauty,' to completely capture Feng Yuhuai's heart."

The Emcee added:

"Then, help Feng Yuhuai grow together; when the time is right, lure the Curse behind her to possess her, so as to eat her—truly too sinister."

Red Dragonfly snorted coldly:

"Hmph, this man is too dangerous; if left alone, who knows how many people will fall to his poisonous hand, simply a huge tumor on social stability."

The Beast understood and nodded deeply in agreement:

"That's right; for the stability of Lower City, our Dui must stop at nothing to recruit him."

The bald Captain grinned, revealing a mouthful of uneven black teeth, and concluded:

"In any case, first gather his information, ignore the strength he displays, mainly focus on the types of abilities he displays; if necessary, we might think of a way from Feng Yuhuai."

"Understood!" *2

Red Dragonfly and the Beast responded in unison, their voices filled with the determination to face death as if returning home.

The Emcee said nothing; he was now a "blind man."

Zhang Liyou and Cui Cui both had dazed expressions, looking at each other blankly.

"Feng Yuhuai's boyfriend... was dealt with by the scientist?"

Cui Cui swallowed hard, her voice carrying a hint of unbelievable surprise:

"Doesn't that mean Feng Yuhuai can die again? Now, surely no one can save her anymore?"

Zhang Liyou looked hesitant, wanting to believe but not daring to be sure:

"But that monster called 【Mask】, looked so strange and eerie, yet was eaten by Zuo Bai just like that? Is the scientist... really that powerful?"

The two's hearts were like a roller coaster, up and down, anxious and uneasy.

Especially Zhang Liyou; after her mood experienced several great ups and downs like a roller coaster, in the dark, she felt a subtle premonition, or some profound realization, quietly condensing in the bottom of her heart.

Just like that invisible Shadow, intangible and illusory, yet seeming to be condensing into form, about to be grasped by her.

But, still missing the final tremor!

Deng Jia Jia, Ren Xuan, and Tang An gathered tightly around the camera, not daring to breathe, their hands slightly trembling yet extremely focused as they operated the camera in their hands.

Their eyes were wide open, their gazes dazed yet carrying undisguisable shock, staring straight at the lifeless, turbid-colored sewage in the lens.

A full several seconds passed, and the smiling face of the Shadow never surfaced in the lens again.

"That monster called 【Mask】 died... no, was eaten by Zuo Bai?"

Ren Xuan simply could not believe his own eyes.

Wasn't it said that the one who makes the final grand entrance is the protagonist who slaughters in all directions?

The "plot development" before their eyes truly challenged their professional experience as news media people.

Tang An then took a deep breath, hurriedly manipulating his own camera to refocus on Zuo Bai.

While operating, he muttered softly:

"Quick quick quick, quick film Zuo Bai, he is the undisputed protagonist of the sewer, understand? This is the power of science!"

Nothing more to say, from now on, Tang An is Zuo Bai's die-hard science fan, even though he didn't have the guts to go meet his idol in person.

Deng Jia Jia stood in place in a daze for a moment; strangely, she did not move the lens, but slowly turned the camera's focus ring, pulling the lens bit by bit closer to that pool of seemingly calm sewage.

At the same time,

the Internet light on the camera, which had had no signal all along, suddenly flickered once.....
