Chapter 145: Emergency Situation (Please Subscribe)

"And now, the performance has reached its final act!"

"Using the 'Pupa' as a foundation, I have accommodated the power of 'Red' to achieve my great work and ascend to the Fourth Primordial Substance—the 'Insect Nest'!"

A piece of skin was missing from Archbishop Roberts' face, and beetles crawled out from the pitch-black hole, flying onto Nicholas's face, causing his features to become taut and twisted.

"Cleric Nicholas, do you know why I am telling you so much?"

Roberts smiled: "After ascending to the Fourth Primordial Substance, my hunger was temporarily satisfied, but at the same time, it has intensified... I gained knowledge from the ascension, which lets me know that I can choose other Extraordinaries, inject my overflowing desire into their bodies, and let them share the influence of madness and loss of control for me... You are very lucky, you will not die, but at the same time, you are quite unfortunate."

"Ah!"

While Roberts was speaking, that black beetle had already bitten open Nicholas's cheek and burrowed into his flesh, which not only caused blood to stream down the latter's face but also made him let out a cry of pain.

Percy trotted to follow, breathing in the cold night wind, and plunged into the darkness.

Sinderson's face was so gloomy it could almost drip water: "According to the safety protocol, if the Bureau Chief dies, the second deputy chief takes over... Remember to seal off the scene, but let us go out and prepare first; something major might happen tonight!"

Percy immediately formed a guess.

He felt as if leech-like insects were crawling through the blood vessels in his body, and intense pain and thirst gripped his heart tightly.

But at this moment, his face was filled with fear: "Bugs... many bugs have appeared at Green Forest Church... they are spreading outward... the police officers who rushed to maintain order have suffered heavy losses..."

"Patrol Squad, move out!"

"Something has happened at Green Forest Church."

Percy pressed his temples and suddenly shivered: "Come to think of it... this might be the aftermath of the previous Chris case... we might have missed the true mastermind!"

"If not handled well, it could lead to the affairs of the Mysterious world never being able to be hidden again... Could that mastermind's goal be this?"

Next to Glamorgan Field, the headquarters of the Green Forest City Investigation Bureau.

A fly-like insect suddenly bit through his eyeball, crawled out from the inside, and flew away, flapping its wings.

"I hope there is still time to remedy this!"

Sinderson said rapidly in concise language: "Just a moment ago, someone reported the presence of a Non-human Grade evil cultist inside Green Forest Church, and then, our investigators discovered an outbreak of high-level 'Light' Talisman reactions within the church... Everyone who entered later has gone silent; I believe a Mysterious event has occurred inside Green Forest Cathedral! Everyone, take your weapons and prepare to depart!"

Even if Percy were a fool, he would have understood immediately at this moment: "There is a mole in the Investigation Bureau!"

"Captain..."

'Has this case already involved a Non-human Existence?'

A shrill alarm sounded, echoing back and forth in the corridor.

"Something is wrong."

Percy recognized him; he was the liaison between Glamorgan Field and the Investigation Bureau—Inspector Vick!

A talent who was always composed and was said to be on track to be promoted to Superintendent within three years.

Nicholas wanted to faint, but his consciousness became incomparably clear, and his senses became incomparably sharp, which instead intensified his agony.

Percy bit his lip hard.

"Help! Help!"

As the Chief of the Green Forest Investigation Bureau, Sendi had a separate residence inside the Investigation Bureau and also shouldered the heavy responsibility of activating that Non-human Level Magical Item!

A few minutes later, the squad members gathered and saw their captain, Sinderson Kappler, with his pale purple eyes!

His rationality was rapidly being lost, and madness was gradually taking the lead.

The Extraordinary Ability of the First Primordial Substance could not solve this level of contamination at all!

Despair gradually stained his eyes...

'That will most likely result in dying in the line of duty... Is it too late to write a will now?'

Sinderson sighed and pointed at Percy: "You come with me to find the Bureau Chief and apply to activate that Non-human Level Magical Item... We have been played for a long time; I hope we can make it in time!"

"The grand performance... has begun."

"Cheer up, we are the Kingdom Investigation Bureau, we are the last line of defense protecting the ordinary people of the Mortal World; if we all despair, what are those ordinary people supposed to do?"

Nicholas wanted to stir up the Spirituality in his body to Purify the contamination, but he failed.

Percy Anias, who was on the night shift, hurriedly grabbed his trench coat, put it on, and rushed toward the captain's office.

His security clearance was very high, and he had Extraordinaries guarding him at all times.

"Large-scale Mysterious event outbreak!"

For Nicholas Inamu, who wanted to become 'Light', this was undoubtedly a huge irony!

"I..."

Behind him, Nicholas collapsed on the floor covered in mucus, bloodshot veins filling his eye sockets.

Sinderson's expression was calm as he inserted his Zoulun into its holster and walked out of the Investigation Bureau's main gate.

He followed the captain back to the office and found that the team members were even more panicked, with uneasy emotions filling everyone's faces.

Suddenly, a police officer wearing shoulder straps rushed out from the internal passage between the Investigation Bureau and Glamorgan Field.

Percy and the other team members suddenly felt their hearts tighten.

Various thoughts flooded Percy's mind, and his body had already involuntarily followed Captain Sinderson, running until they arrived outside the Bureau Chief's room and pounded heavily on the door.

"Something is not right... After the alarm sounded, Bureau Chief Sendi should have been up long ago..."

Sinderson opened a drawer, took out a Zoulun with an antique-style ivory grip, and loaded bullets into it one by one.

If this continued, it would not be long before Nicholas completely mutated!

The Bureau Chief being assassinated inside the Investigation Bureau—this was a provocation!

What was even more desperate was that without the Bureau Chief's signed documents—and, crucially, some kind of verification from him personally—activating the Non-human Level Magical Item in the basement of the Investigation Bureau would become quite troublesome; at the very least, there was no hope for tonight, and once something else happened, the consequences would be simply unimaginable!

"Green Forest Cathedral has always been subject to inspections; how could such a big problem arise?"

Sinderson was silent for a moment, stepped back two paces, and suddenly flew into the air, kicking the door.

The chubby Bureau Chief Sendi was wearing pajamas, half-leaning on the sofa, his eyes wide open, but they had lost all luster, looking just like the eyes of a dead fish.

Either die in disgrace, or become a monster and linger on in a base existence.

But at this moment, the surroundings were deathly quiet.

Bang!

The door was kicked open violently, revealing the luxuriously decorated living room behind it.

Surrounded by countless insects, Roberts walked out of the underground storage room.

Snap!

While still in mid-air, it was struck down by a ball of flame, turning into a burning object on the ground.

He had an ominous premonition.

Tonight would certainly not be peaceful!

Although the Investigation Bureau was striving to maintain order, this order was far too fragile, like a soap bubble that would burst with a light poke...
